Edgefeld Republican Maetine.

On Saturday, the 10Th instant, the Repub-
lioans had q grand rally at Edgefield Court
4 House, in favor Of Hayes aud Wheeler md
Chamberlain. Governor an.berlan, Judge
siackey, Smalls, Hayne and fnrvis were the
| orators of the day. About the time the pro-
| ceedings were to commence, Generals Butler
and Gary rode up at the head of about four
hundred mounted men aud several hundred
| on FOOT, and demanded that the time of speak
| ing be divided with them This. the Governor
| consented to, and the speaking commenced
alternating between Republicans and Demo.
orats, each confined TO thirty minutes.-
Chamberlain spoke first, and was replied 10
py Gen. Butler, who exposed the Republican
shortcomings in his usual and courteous
| style, and at tho same time vindicated himself
from the charges, made against him by the
| Governor and Smalls, that he was the leader
ana fomcn'cr of the Hamburg troubles, calling
on tho Governor TO rise in his place and make
| good mis- charges, falling to do which, he
branded him as liar. Judge Mackey fol-
lowed, defending Chamberlain in his usual
style, who was sreplied 20 by General Gary, in
MS usual lmpusive and eloquent style. The
description Of tue meeting as furnished by
The Advertiser, is rich, rore and spicy. We
have not room to produce it, but perusal of
1t would make n sick man laugh. Tho result
was, that the Democrats non-pldssed tho Re,
publ,cnns and captured the meeting The
same programme was gone through at New,
berry The other day with similar rcsults. This
Is course that should bo adopted IN every
County in the State. Their leaders keen the
negroes from attending our meetings, ana let
us go TO theirs and meet them face to face,
where we will have an opportunity of ro(uLine

i The young ladies on she Eastatoe, with
when we became acquainted, daughters Of
Mrs. Alexander and Col, Nimmons, would be
prizes for any of theboys in Pickens or else
where. They arc trained from the cradle to
depend on themselves, Mrs. Alexander's
eldest single daughter is now teaching school
at Nine Times Academy, with some 25 or 30
scholars. Mrs. Alexander herself is q worthy
example Of what may be accomplished by O
woman by energy and perseverance,. Her
husband died in the war, leavingher widow
with four little children to raise, and she
went to work; hero like and took immediate
control of a large farming interest, and has
so far managed to support her family In COM
fort and independence. Her homestead on
the Eastatoe is a valuable plantation, having
some 90 or more acres of excallent bottom,
with several hundred acres of upland. The
bottom lands are in full view of the house,
and ordinarily yield prolific crops of corn,
rye, and wheat. This year, owing to the Sc
verify Of the June freshet those fertile lands
will scarcely yield full half crop.
Col. Nimmon's place lies adjoining Mrs.
| Alexander, and Immediately above. Nearly,
| OF quite all the lands on Big Eastatoe, were
once owned by Mr.. Isaac Anderson, the faiths
or of Mrs. Nimmons and Mrs. Aloxander.--
Mr.. Anderson thus showed considerable sa-
gaci!y in purchasing these valuable lands
when they were comparatively cheap, as
heritage for his children. These bottom :
lands will yield ordinarily from 80 to so BUSH
els corn per acre. The farmers alternate
every other year with small grain, wheat,
rye, or oats. The wheat crop for the last
few years, howeycc, has become worry uncer-
tain in this latitude, on bottom lands, but on
upland properly manured and prepared will
bring relnuneratiug crops. The farmers can
also raise on their uplands, cotton, sweet
potatoes, melons, and all kinds of garden
vegetables, especially cabbage We would
certainly recommend the farmers in that Sec
ton to try the clover, rs we feel satisfied it.
would thrive there. Apples grow finely in
this locality, and we notice that the trees are
usually planted in the edge of the bottom
lands. We were informed that they bear
much more beautifully on bottom lands than
otherwise.

Primary Election.

tho primary election on the 18th inst.
than we have ever seen in O genera
election in this County. The candi-
dates for the various offices were
quito numerous and generally mado
thorough canvass of tho County before
the election, as candidates wero wont
to do in days of yore, when party
lines were not known in this State. A
kindly and generous feeling generally
existed between them, and tho people
calmly considered tho claims of
each aspirant, and, as whole, voted
as their judgement and preferences
lead them. OF course, each of tho
candidates and their friends worked
like beavers for success, but, when
failure succeeded their efforts, they
gracefully acquiosced and will heartily
support the nominees of the party. If
anything should havo occurred during
the canvass to create an i'll feeling boz
tween individuals, il is their duty
now TO place it behind thom, and look
forward only 10 victory in Novomber.
Thore should be no schisms or divisl-
sions in our ranks. The column must
close up and present u solid hont TO
tho enemy in November. The pri-
mary election, though not acceptable
to some, wo think has proved sue
cess, for, out of a voting population OF
1880, including Republicans, thore
were 1858 votes cast, 346 moro than
half.
1t has very clearly demonstrated,
we think, what, with energy and good
management the Democracy of this
county may do in the gonoral eleo-
tion in November next. Conoedipg all
who did not voto in the primary cleo
ton to tho Republicans, we have 346
majority; but this wo do not by any
means do, for thoro woro to our por>
sonal knowledge, many as good Dom.
ocrats as the County affords who did
not turn out and vote atall, somo csti-
mato tho number at 500, which we do
not think will fall short OF the mark.
This would give us over 800 majority
of bona fde Democrats, and, with the
accessions we will evidently get from
the Republican party, urdor the lead
ership of Hampton, wo do not think
10 an exaggeration TO say that Pick
ems is good for 1000 majority in Mo-
vember, and perhaps good deal
more.

General Wade Hampton.

The State Convention did noble
work in presenting tho namo of Wade
Hampton to Tho people Of South Car
olina for their suffcragcs Tor Governor
of the State. There is no namo in
the whole catalogue of distinguished
South Carolinians that stands above
his. Noble, pure and patriotic, ho will
draw to his support every true son of
the soil. There is no man in whom
oil tho qualities for successful leader
are moro nObly blended. Whom he isput
in tho Executive chair at Columbi
there will DO n stop pnt to thievery,
pocuation and bribery, and now
and bright ora Will dawn upon the
Stato. Let us thank God for such o
leader and do our whole duty on the
7th OF November. Tho Democratic
ranks, so long scattered and demor>
allied, will now close up at his COM
mand, as did the ranks of his noble
Legion in the late war, and as nobly
press on TO victory. Thcro will be no
Iaggards now. Every mans shoulder
will be put to the wheel, and our noo
BILE old State will bo pushed out of tho
mire in which she has been plunged
by Radical rascality.
