ga REIGN OF TERROR"

Soon after crossing the "Keowee" we no.
ticed that on the sound of our horses foot
steps reaching any little hamlet, heads
would be cautiously poked out of the doors
or round the corners of buildings, followed
by a seemingly hurried consultation, and
the men would either become invisible, or
their feeting forms would be seen making
for the woods on the mountain sides. This
was almost Invariably the case on nearing
and crossing the North Carolina line. At
last we reached vicinity where we were
wellknown, and where resided several whom
we knew were not engaged in Illicit whiskey
making, and on enquiring the cause of such
conduct we were told that all in the noun
tains were afraid of the Revenue officers, as
it mattered not whether innocent or guilty,
THAT they were sure of being ill-treated, and
would be compelled to act as guides or re-
ceiye round of curses and abuse hard to
bear, besides risking their lives if willing to
be guides.
From ell accounts the killing of Iadd was
o most brutal and uncalled-for act, as all in
his neighborhood are confident the officers
fired first, and shot him in cold blood.
They all deplore the present state of affairs,
but at the same time it is easily perceived
that there is a spirit of depreciation being
felt that may, if not soothed, tend to serious
consequences, not only to the mountain
people, but to the high-handed Revenue
officials. Surely, Collector Brayton can
use some discretion as to the sort of per-
sons he employs to protect the Revenue.
And if he can only induce the scum and
low down whites to execute his orders, he
can certainly put them under the command
of some officer who will restrain their thirst
for blood and propensities for abusing old
women and children, frequent practice of
theirs when on raid. E. x. e. g..

TOWNyILLE.

A solitary bale of last years cotton crop
was brought here and sold last week by Mr..
Sam. Grant. Several schools, including
the Academy here, will resume on the 1st
day July proximo ....Latterly very large
Sunday School was instituted at Smith
Chapel, Methodist. with Mr.. Dickert, of the
Lutheran persuasion, as Superintendent.
1.-THE population of this place, as shown
by late census, is 1879 whites and 7e
blacks. Tom. Clark, of Fair Play, the
contractee, (or "or," whichever is correct, }
who conveys the mail between Pendleton
and point.in Georgia, ria this place, lost q
valuable horse here from collie while on q
regular trip last week......There will be
preaching in the Presbyterian Church here
on next Saturday and Sunday, the 10Th and
S0th, by the Revs. DR.. Adger, of Pendleton,
and Prof. Riley, of Adger College. The
sacrament of the Lords Supper will be OBJ
served on Sunday. The best yield OF
wheat in this-locality, so far, is ten bushels
to one sowed, (without manuring,) and the
worst turnout falls on colored man in this
place, who declares he didn't got tpo bun

residing on "nubbin ridge few miles
from this place in Oconee, has dispatched
nine rattle-snekes at as many different times
within the past two or three months. One
of them attacked him whilst he was plow-
ing, and had fastened its fangs in his
breeches leg near the foot, and was thus
being dragged along before he discovered it.
On killing it he found it to be fifteen years
old. You can set him "head" as snake

Fleet YOUR BEST MEN.

Mr.. EDITOR: Gov. Hampton, in his ad-
dress to tie people of Anderson in March
Inst, advised them to send their best men to
the Legislature. He repeated bis advice in
his recent speech at Ninety Six, congratu-
lating the people of Abbeville and Edge
field upor the nomination of MCGOWAN
and Donham.
The Columbia Register, in recent ISSUE
says: at was decided hit made by Gov
Hampton in his speech ut Anderson when
he told the people of South Carolina to pick
out their best men and send them to the
Legislature-make them go into the SER
vice. He was giving advice which has
since found lodgment in every nook and
corner of the State. And if we read the
signs of ehe times Alright, tire people are
preparing to act upon the suggestions by
demanding the services of the very best
men who are not now in office. 1t is no
time for selecting Legislators with reference
to crpedi,mcy, locality or occupation" The
italics are my own.
In my judgment, then, it is folly to select
members of the Legislature by reason Of
their occupation or their residence, and far
more darlaging to choose them "for their
availability on the grounds of expediency.
1t is the best men that are wanted to deal
with the intricate questions before the next
Legislature. The men who are best adap-
ted to the work before them, because of
their training, industry and devotion to the
State. Men of brains and of character, with
the will and determination to do what is
right, regardless of the effect it will have
upon their popularity" The Winnsboro
Ncms ant Herald, taking up the theme,
says: "It is extremely important that each
county should send her best men to repre-:
sent her. This is the advice given by Gov.
Hampton, and it would be uncommonly
good advice by whomsoever given. In
choosing representatives to consult for the
good of the State, people should lay aside
personal preiudices and vote for those who
can do the most good"

q serenading party at Anderson on the 10th,
said: "When the proper time comes foryour
primary election, 60 out and nominate your
bea and most suitable men for Office,
especially for the Legislature, without
reference to whether they want it or not.
Do not be governed by who is most anxious
or who has electioneered most. Select them
because they are the proper men-not be-
cause they want to serve; net because you
wish to honor them, but because you wish
to take care of yourselves" All this is
| most excellent advice, words wisely spoken
and it becomes the people of Anderson, who
delight to be called the Banner County"
in all matters of progress, to decide whether
they will heed the advice and elect their
best and most suitable men, or whether we
will elect those most anxious for office and
who electioneer the most. We shall see.

A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t would seem from the rep
reservations of my friends, that have been
very unfortunate in defining my position in
reference to my possible candidacy for the
Senate. When l said I would not be the
one ito open the ball' in the early part Of
May, I intended to intimate that / thought
it too early then for the canvass to begin.
But when also said that whether became
candidate later must depend upon the
number of those of my own political faith
who might seem to wish it. I desired to be
understood as placing the matter where /
thought it properly belonged-with those
whose duty it was to select candidates; and
personally, as neither declining nor seeking
the position. Regretting to have to appear
again to say even this little, am,
Respectfully,
B. F. WH1TNER.

THE FORK DEMOCRACY.
ToMNy1LLE, June 25.

I0WNyILLE, June 70.
The meeting of Club No. ! at Farmers
Store, on last Saturday, was decided and
pronounced success. The attendance was
much larger than was anticipated in view
of the busy season with the crops, and o
most encouraging feature of the day was
the attendance of fair proportion of the
Forks most charming ladies. The good
women of the country are not probably
conscious of the degree of wholesome en-
thusiasm which their presence on such oc-
casions inspires. Coils. Orr and Rucker
each paid handsome tribute to the zeal
and interest which they, the State over,
manifested in the political crisis two years
ago, saying that the positive spirit which
they exhibited in the historic days of 70
the centennial of the nations birth-was
the. prime stimulus which led to the re-
manding to Carolina's own sons the pilot
age of the dear old ship of State.
Itwas previously intended to elect dele
gates to the County Convention at this
meeting, but upon consultation it was
deemed advisable to hold call meeting for
that purpose on the first Saturday in July,
which would afford time TO swell the men,
bership, thus entitleing the club to larger
representation. At present the club has
ninety-two members, and at the next meet
ing the list will doubtless reach one hun
dred and twenty-five.

of several Others joining.

The piece is divided into two days work.
The first day the reapers NOW the hay, then

In the evening the dairy-maid comes, (not
to milk the cows,) and at night Snipkins, q

made his Katie, the dairy maid, but is inter
rupted by the 'Katie-dids," and leaves in

then piled and hauled away, an approach
