CHAMBERLAIN DENIES.
"Rcady and willing ct All Times to
Answer TO the Proper Authorities,,-
let the Investigating Committee send
for the Great Usurper.

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain has been inter-
viewed by o reporter at his Office in New
York, and was asked if he had ANYTHING
to say in reply to the charges made
against him by Niles G. Parker, as to his
completely in the robberics OF this State.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that he had
carefully read Parker's statement and D.
called confession, and emphatically ,e-
MED all the charges therein containe. /
He was ready and willing at all times to
answer to the proper authorities for his
acts while in South Carolina. He then
made the following statement, which he
said was ali he was willing 20 say at pres
cnt:
Niles G. Parker during my term OF
office as Governor was sued by the State
OF South Carolina to recover o large
amount of coupons which he was charged
with stealing and afterwards converted
into State bonds In this suit he was
arrested and held to bail, which he was
unable to give.
+ The cc-se was tried in June, 1875, and
verdict rendered against Parker for
$4,000. He was finally released from
Jail on ha6eds corpus, and instantly fed
from the State, and has mover returned.
Since that time ho has diligently sought
to implicate me, in order to obtain money
and immunity for himself. His agents
and attorneys have visited Columbia re-
peatedly on this errand, and through one
OF them Parker now actually confesses
that he sold certain papers to be used
agaihss MO POLITICALLY Tor 81, ,00U. Iknow
also that his wares were offered to those
Republicans who were hostile to me for
my course as Governor. They were like
wise offered to the Democratic committee
last fall, and am glad to say they found
no market there. have also the best
reasons for stating that he mes over and
oyer offered his testimony against me to
the officers of the present administration
in South Carolina, and can only con.
clude Shat they found 1t as unworthy Is
did ot5crs-
Having failed to realize further upon
his stock of scandal, and being himself
now under new indictments at Columbia,
he comes forward In fresh effort to palm
OIL his budget upon the general public.
Now, l, for one, do not feel called upon
TO notice Parker or his statements further
than to give the foregoing facts, end Co
pronounce his charges against Eso mall
ciously false. None of them are, in fact,
new, except the charge that he bribed
me with $4,000 Co do something which
was so base that even he could not name
it.
With this exception, they have all been
repeatedly published in South Carolina
for political effect in the last four years.
II anybody demands Of me that should
do moro now than deny such charges, put
forward by such man as Parker comics
see himself to be, he will not be gratified
by me. / am amenable to the laws of
South Carolina at all times for my acts,

The Governor WAS here asked if there
WIS any political excitement among the
misses in his State at this time; especial
ly if the whites were antagonizing the
negroes.
"There isn't particle of excitement
down there" WAS the Governors reply.
"Only one negro" he continued, "hns
been murdered by white man since
election time, and the murderer in this
case will be punished to the utmost limit
of the law. The negroes have their own
militia companies, and are not interfercd

have promised IL supply them with arms

Because We have been striking some
licks at Independents in this County,
some persons have caught the idea that
there are serious divisions among the
Democrats of Anderson. Such, we are
glad to say, is not the case. We realize
the fact that eternal vigilance is tho
price of liberty" and hence prefer at this
time taking the precautionary step of
showing up the dangers of independent
Republicans at heart, who pretend to be
Democrats. There is nc indication of
any split in our party, but or the contra
ry, we are now stronger thsn we have
ever been. No names ore being taken
off Of our club list, and there is no danger
of independent action on the part of any
one except few Office seekers, WHO
would be or pretend to be anything CON
ceivable upon earth, or under it, for the
sake Of obtaining Office. The people
cannot be duped by such characters, and
thoro is no doubt that the ticket which
may be nominated by our State Conycn-
ton, and County primary election next
year, will receive the same hearty sup
port that was given last year, and Andcr-
son County may be put down for n cool
four thousand majority next year.

Remember that the regular quarterly

held on first Saturday Of October, at 10

sirous of purchasing fruit trees will find
it decidedly to their interest to attend, AZ
we have propositions from the best
