will be holding n little love feast OF

the race or color line; but by
actual information from the best
sources.
Abbeville is one of tho most
thoroughly organized counties il
the State. 1t has between eight
and nino hundred colored Demo

Justify for Hampton. A strong
ticket has been nominated: while
the Ra'lical ticket is weak, and tn,
candidates are being CONSTANT,
changed. The county was carried
by the Democrats the last time they
made fight. by over q thousand
maj ajority. That majority is claimed
now, but it is safer to cut it down
to five hundred.
Anderson has white majority ol
two thousand votes. Senator
Cochran, the leading Republican
of the up country, has become dis,
gnnted with the Radical manage
lnent and refuses to take any part
i'll it. The Radicals have no county
ticket, and tho Democratic majority
will be between 1000 md $500.
In Aiken the Radicals counted in 4
m;j 'lity Of G3 in 1874. That
maj >rity will be reversed and the
Democrats will receive 500 minority
a' al the f,ctory hands and Northern
residents, and a large number OF
decent Rcou blicms will support the
ticket.
