A boy aged about fifteen and a
girl few years younger than him

having procured license by little
thoughtful false swearing. The
parties eloped, the parents of each
being at fcud and opposed to the
match ON that ground AS we'll rs ON

TIE BABY SHOW.

Two public spirited citizens of Anderson
County, through consideration for the in
terests Of the rising generation, have con-
tributed Baby Carriage each-one to be
given to the finest boy in Anderson County
under one year old, and the other to the
finest young lady in this County who has
not attained the age of one year at the time
of exhibition. These premiums are to be
awarded through the Fair Association, and
appropriate committees have been appoint
ed to render judgment upon all who may
be entered for the prize. Mothers having
an infant boy or girl which they think the
fnes: in the world, will have an opportuni-
ty at the approaching Fair of taking the
opinion Of other people on The subject, and
if their opinion is correct a handsome little
carriage will be the reward. We hope there
will be number of entries for each of these
premiums.

1NTIn1DATIoN.

Frazer Copeland, prominent colored
Republican ofsthe Brushy Creek township,
has come to Anderson and states that he
was sougbt;after by unknown parties, and
that he is.afraid to stay at home. A respon-
sible Trial Justice of this County was inl-
mediately sent to the neighborhood to in
vestigate the matter, and reports that there
is nothing in the statements made by Frazer,
that he could hear of. The neighbors did
not know that Frazer had left because he
was uneasy, or that he had ever been
threatened. Mr. F. N. Glenn, one of the
most influential and substantial citizens
of the neighborhood, says that he is willing
to insure his life, liberty and property
against molestation from any source for ten
cents. Frazer has made three different
statements about the affair, and says he has
always had to leave his home about elec-
ton time on account of mis- politics, when
it is notorious fact that he has been a
manager of election in the two last elections.
He has either manufactured O tale or al
loved his Imagination to manufacture one
for him.

ARRESTS TO BE MADE IN ANDERSON.

Senator Cochran published card in the
Columbia Register of last Saturday, stating
that he had seen aff1davits which were made
in Columbia for the arrest Of citizens in
Anderson County, and stating that the
County was quiet, and its officers both able
and willing to enforce the laws. Wedo not
fear the consequences of such arrests, for
they will amount to nothing beyond putting
our citizens to the necessity of giving bail.
There has been no violence in this County,
and our people have manifested a sincere
desire to have peace and order prevail, but
the Republicans seem dissatisfied because
we have given them no molestation, and
hence their necessity to manufacture outra-
ges. We are satisfied that there will be no
difficulty in executing any warrant in An
derson County. We do not intend to give
the outrage mill any grist to grind for Gov.
Chamberlain. Our people are peaceable and
intend to remain so even if they are har-
rassed by groundless arrests. We repeat
that there is and will be no resistance to
arrest in this County, and if the Republican
villains cannot get Marshals enough to do
their dirty work for them, telegram to
Anderson will secure the appearance of any
man who may be charged with violation of
the law.

STORES TO BE CLOSED.

The merchants of Anderson have agreed
to close their stores on Friday, the 9th day
of October inst, for the purpose of attend
ing the Ninth Annual Fair of the Farmers
and Mechanics Association of Anderson.
Parties from the town or country will do
we'll 10 note this agreement, as no business
viii be transacted, and the stores will not
be open in Anderson on Friday of the
Fair week. This action on the part of our
merchants is proper and considerate one,
as it allows their clerks and employees an
opportunity of holiday to enjoy the Fair
for one day.

SEEKING MISCHIEF.

While Mr.. Cochran was County Chair
man of the Republican party Of this Coun-
ty, there were no reports of intimidation,
and no violence was perpetrated, either in
fact orin Imagination; but as soon US Green
D. Williams assumed control, there are
crops of political trouble which are coming
thick and fast, according to the version of
Republican colored men. We have been
to some trouble to examine into these al
legged cases of intimidation. and upon good
authority pronounce every one that has
been reported to US without foundation.
We must say that the Republican Chairman
will be responsible if he allows these SLAM
derous falsehoods to continue. He should
not encourage these parties, aud where COM
plant is made, it is his duty to look into
the matter and stop them, where they are
without cause To be frank. we must con-
fess we believe these stories are manufac-
tured for campaign purposes. The County
of Anderson has been so orderly that no
cause for Federal troops to be stationed here
has been given, and they are seeking by
systematic lying to supply what they lack
in facts. Mr.. Cochran was able to prevent
this state of things. and Williams can do it
also if he wishes.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

A young man named Frank Holden at
tempted to commit suicide on the 11th inst.
BY shooting himself with pistol. He was
Giving with Mr.. G. T. Milan, on Six and
Twenty, and on the day specified he took
Mr.. Milam's pistol from over the clock,
where it was usually kept, and went out
into the orchard, where he made the attempt
at suicide. The ball entered his left side,
inficting flesh wound only, which is not
very severe. At last accounts, the young
man was doing quite well, and says he will
make no further attempt on his own life.
He is not more than eighteen years old, and
some difficulty with his father has caused
this desperation on his part.
