out Of the people. 1t will DO tho first
demonstration after the disnthralment
That takes place on the 9TH Novem-
ber, and will be fit timo for the
manifestation ofjoy we have in store
for such an occasion.
Our farmers aud mechanics should
remember, too, that contributions to
q Fair are worthless unless there aro
people in attendance to Soc the articles.
1t" thousand people each send one
articlo to exhibit, and all stay at home
they contribute but little 10 the sue
cess of the Fair. But if half that
nlmber each send one article and dou-
DO that number go to see them the,
Fair is pronounced success.
Tne expense Of attending the Fair
often prevents our people from filling
Columbia to owe flow during Far
week. Increased hotel accommoda-
ton, and cheaper Iniroad travel (say
three cents q mile for the round trp)
will throw into Columbia thousands
who will not otherwise attend, and
ponr into the coffcrs Of our railroads
more not money than is received any
other week during tho year. Will
not the President of the Soclcty, and
the 'citizens of Columbia effect and
advertise arrangements to this end?
We hope so.

who desired to hear them, and tho
loud taIking was OF no greater extent
than is usual at political mestinIg % of
either party. Some of tire best citi~
gems Of Pickens County testify that
there wac no threats, Intimidation, or
violence made, or used, or attempted
to be made or used by any one on the
ground that day. ,Fhe Witnesses
further testify that there were no
arms used or attempted to be used
on that day BY anysper$on; ard that,
with one or two exceptions, there
were no arms seen on the ground that
day. 10 our opinion, from the testi-
timcny the government has utterly
tailed TO make out her case against
either of the parties charged as above
and our idea of the whole matter is
simply this. That our political enemies
were under the. Impression that tax
ing the bold step of arresting some of
the best citizens of Pickens County,
they might inLimidate the Democrat

the polls; but we are glad to say that
