A CARD.

MEssRs. EDITORS: As1"Billy" seems to be
every now and then "pegging" away at the
Auditor and Treasurer, suffer me- to throw
in a thought or so to make it little more
interesting if I can. Then fellow-citizens,
when you are making out your vote for
Treasurer at our primary election. don't
forget your old officers who have performed
the duties of both Auditor and Treasurer to
their own credit and to the honor of our
County. AS one of these I would make a
proposition. If should be returned as
your choice at your primary election, and
succeed in getting the appointment I pledge
myself to take all the responsibilities and
perform. the labors of the Office for one
thousand dollars, and when Isettle with the
State Treasurer will hold on to the whole
salary as now allowed by law and turn over
every dollar of it except the thousand dollars
for my services to our County Commission
ers for County purposes, and thus save to
our down trodden and over-taxed people
almost, if not quite, the entire County tax
levy. What say you? will you trot the old
"fell'' through and trust him once more? ifso
you shall have his every effort to land you
safely on the shore of q happy dcliverancc
from County tax levy. Who will do the
same for the Auditors post? Don't all
speak at once. To be kept open for free dis
cussion until the 10Th of October.
Very Respectfully,
w. S. SHAW.

A CARD.

MEssRs. EDITORS: In a card published in
your paper some time since, l accepted a
nomination as candidate for School Com
missioner. In the same card stated that it
was impossible for me to canvass the Coun-
ty at that time but that I would meet the
people during the summer months at their
public assemblies. Long continued illness
of members of my family prevented my
doing so; and considering my very limited
acquaintance with the people think it my
duty to withdraw from the contest; and 1
do so the more readily in view of the fact
that the interests of the County can in no
wise suffer thereby, as there are other gen.
tlemen, worthy in every way to discharge
the duties of the Office, seeking the same.
Ny relations with these gentlemen during
my brief experience in the canvass has been
of the most pleasant nature; and although
cannot contribute to the success ofall, 1 can
at least hope that they will come out of the
campaign entertaining as kindly feelings for
each other as do for them all. THANK my
friends for the interest they have shown in
my behalf and heartily join them in the
grand work of achieving Democratic vic
tory in South Carolina.
Respectfully,
JOHN P. BROWN.

MEssRs EDITORS: There are many good
men nominated for County Commissioners
in this County, but we think there is one
that should be Commissioner, yet not
nominated, and we suggest the name of W.
S. Hall. Mr.. Hall has made map of this
County; he has surveyed every branch,
creek and road in the County; he therefore
knows the County, its wants and necessities,
and, in addition to this, he is perfectly hon
est, trustworthy and reliable; he has good
judgment, good habits and, in our judg-
mcnt, the very man that the County now
needs for Commissioner; and we bring his
name before the Clubs for primary election,
for he would not run unless nominated in
that way. We have no doubt that he will
accept the nomination thus made, and will
be induced to accept by the next issue OF
this paper, and. in the meantime, We be-
speak consideration in llis behalf.

the enthusiasm of the canvass was pictured

the enthusiasm of the canvass was pictured
upon every face, and went into comparison
of ante bcllum taxes with those since the war
to show the cause of the enthusiasm. He
referred to the land commission swindle and
to the abuse of the common school system
by the Republican party, and condemned
most severely Gov. Chamberlain for oppos-
ing Democratic organization after recon-
mending it when Whipper and Moses were
elected. He argued to the colored people
that they pay the greater portion of the taxes
in various ways, and that the present gov
ernment does not protect them. He referred
to the Democrats protecting colored men in
Charleston, and asked if any Republican ever
exposed himself to q. bullet to protect any of
them in the recent riots. .(Cries from the
colord men of no, not one, and they never
will.) He told them if Hampton was cleo
ted things would be better conducted in this
State and their wages would be. increased.
He closed by telling them to distrust the
Republican promises of reform for they
mean nothing, and said the whole crew of
Republican leaders ought to be in the peni-
tentiary.
At the conclusion ofh speech O recess
for dinner was announced, and the most
elegant of basket dinners was spread to be
partaken of by the crowd. After having
eaten heartily of the good dinner, the crowd
re-assembled, and were first addressed by
MAI. JOHN b. MOORE, -.
who made an effective speech to both races.
He was plain spoken upon the subject of
protecting colored Democrats, and expressed
,the-opinion that it is-tle,dntYyof ourpeople
to protect the colored men who join.,is from
amy attacks which may be made upon them.
He was frequently applauded during this
portion, of his speech Her spoke of the
unity of our people in thee cause of reform,
and told the ladies to lend their assistance in
the work. He said that we intend to elect
Aiken and turn hog out, and we also intend
to eject the entire State ticket.
DIR. W. C. BROWN
was the next speaker, and made one of his
humorous and pleasant speeches, which
called forth frequent shouts of laughter:
He paid a glowing tribute to the ladies Of
Anderson County, and prophesied victory
for the Democracy. His anecdotes convey
ed the corruption of republicanism to the
colored people in striking manner. and
evidently had great weight with them. He
is one of our best campaigners.
After DR.. Brown closed, two colored men
made speeches, which are well spoken of
by those who heard them. We regret hay
ing to leave before they spoke.
The meeting was enthusiastic and order
ly, rejecting much credit upon the Will
liamston Club for their arrangements and
management upon the occasion.

The advertisement of Messrs. Arnstein
& Rose published in another column will
speak for-itself.. These young gentlemen
are thorough business men, and their an
nouncements may be relied upon, Their
business in Anderson during the past
year has been large, and by the satisfac-
ton which their goods and prices have
given to the public it has been steadily
increasing. BY noticing their prices our
readers will see that they can buy goods
from them as advantageously as in
Greenville or any neighboring market.
We bespeak for them at least trial from
our people.

me with their nominations, and to say that
if nominated by the Democrats at the pri-

MEssRs. ED1roRs: 1t has been suggested
that the people of Anderson County make
nominations for County Treasurer and Au-
ditor at the primary election. The sugges-
ton is good one, and the name of VIM.
McGUKIN for County Treasurer will be
supported and advocated by hii numerous
friends. He is emincntly qualified for the
position, as is we'll known by all who have
had business transactions with him, and by
his courteous and affable disposition, if
elected, will give universal satisfaction.

variety shows were started here,
and all bursted long before the season
was over. This year two were started,
the Washington Street Varieties; which
seems to be getting along very well, and
the Memphi Opera House on Jeffersou
street, which was opened by Phin Starr,
the eccentric river man, who takes a
hand in anything from a steamboat to a
variety show. After a weeks toll and
trouble, and making a big flourish If

management several hundred dollars ont

big houses during his management, and

Since his retirement the Memphi Opera
