The County Fair.
We hope everybody is preparing something
for exhibition ut our next Fair. From what we
can learn there will be better exhibition Of
Animals, Field, Garden and Orchard products,
than has ever been seen in this County, and we
arc contdcnt tho Ladies of Union will increase
their efforts to make their several departments
crclitablc TO their own skill and an honor to the
County.
The ever active Sccrtary is doing everything
in his power to make the occasion not merely
creditablc but highly satisfactory. The Premi I'M
list is MbcfTl in every way and thastremums
have been OF dered 1t now only remains for the
| people TO do their full part towards making the
Fair great success, by filling the various de-
partuIents with the productions of their intel
! ligence and fabo since tho last exhibition, and
} by deroting day or Two in mingling with and
learning something profitable from the expert
ence of their fellow citizens from other parts Of
tho County. Last year the Fair at Union Was
pronounced, by those who had visited other
County Fairs, the finest they had attended, 10th
in the quality and quantity of the exhibition,
aud in the interest manifested by the people
The next exhibition will be better, in all re-
! spccts, than the last, and we hopo to even
a greater interest taken in it by oil classc. of

Last week three farmers living not far from

al the same gin, Intending to take it to Spar

men., and sold. hut the .st,
in Union. When the two returned they all

the two who sold Spararsurg got only $50,
while hc third got 9.75 in Union
In the matter of Goods, we are informed by
reliable gentleman that parties have sold cot
ton in Spartanburg and bought goods in Union
with the money, contcnding that the prices of
goods here arc as low as in any town around us
These arc truths that VIC aaussorroborate, but
there are some men in this county who would
not acknowledge it, even if they saw it, so pref =
udiced arc they against their home market.

Put on Your Red Shirts.

Put on Your Red Shirts. a,
!. In all the great political demonstrations made
in the Counties where political meetings have
been lately held, professions of mounted men
in Red Shirts have formed most conspicuous
feature. In fact it is now conceded that no
democratic meeting in this State is complete and
fully up TO the standard of democratic enthusiasm
unless majority of its attendants show the
badge of distincion-the red shirt.
In Barnwe!l, Aiken, Colleton, and other OF
the lower Counties, the red shirt democrats were
conspicuous, while in Laurens, Abbeville, Green
vile and other of the upper Counties, the pro-
cessions of mounted democrats have added much
TO the enthusiasm rs well as the attractions OF
the meetings. Union must not be out of fash
ion in that respect. A red shirt costs but
trhc, and any democrat can afford TO buy one.
1t is no useless expenditure of money, for after
the campaign is over it can be used either by
the men or made into an under garment to keep
the baby warm. 1t will not be lost, for the La
dies know how to put red flannel to good use.
As the township meetings in this County will
commence on Wednesday next, the 9th inst.
we suggest that the candidates set the example
by wearing red shirts, that the members o
the clubs, particularly and all other active dem
ocrnts attend those meetings in that democratic
garurcn. II generally adopted, at the township
meetings, we shall be prepared to make one o
| the most, imposing demonstrations at the Crane
rallying meeting of the whole County, at thi
place, OH the 25th Of this month, to greet tn
| noble Hampton and other State candidates an
speakers.

soliloquy from the Capt. of tho "Got Beats"
HEApwATERs OF SALT RIVER,


I cannot resist the desire to thank the Straight
ont Democrats who voted for me in the late pri-
mary election. Entering the race new man :,
with the "Slocl law and some other Influences
and prcjudices bearing against mo, and with
none of the ADVANCES which wealth. long resi-
dcnce in the county, and old family influences
and associations give, | only hoped to mako
gallant and respectable race and am net only
satisfied with the result, but just grateful To
those who voted for me as if had been cleo
ted.
The views that have expressed in the paper
and on the stump, concerning the Bond and
other questions, are not only honest convictions,
but time, | think, will prove them to be correct
/: is great satisfaction to know that every vote
cast for me conscientiously given, and
proves that the efforts that l have made for the
redemption of the State the success Of the party,
ana the advancement of all the interests of our
people arc remembered and appreciated.
| wish it plainly understood, that the position
ioL|sr ~ressiont a5vs NOT spring from any disap-
peintment or "sorc head, dncss" on my part,
because, in the first place it is perfectly consistent
with my record on this question, and besides
even If the radical vote had been left out il
would not have materially affected the result as
applied 10 me.
My ambition is gratifed though | may never
run for Office again, from the hurricaae deck of
The "Got Beat and the head waters of "Salt
kTer' while cbccrfnlly accepting the result of
That "badlv mixed" Democratic election send
warm greeting and good wishes to al with
the assurance that if thee ountry, the party. or
my friends ever nccd my services or assistance
in the future, they can have them, as in the
past, without pay opposition.

The Merchants, Profits in Cotton.

The Merchants, Profits in Cotton.
One would suppose, on hearing some people
complain Of the Merchants Of this town for the
prices they pay and their n,aunor of buying Cot
ton, that Cottonbuying was q profitable business
There never was more mistaken idea ever en-
tertained. No merchant in this town has made
dollar on the Cotton he has purchased in the
past three years. On the contrary, all have lost
money on their cotton purchases. One mer-
chaR.S>s2 Pa few slays ago-and we know it to
be the truth-thnt his firm lost, last year, the
value of 40 bales upon their purchases, while
another firm has lost $40 900 on Cotton the past
three years and We know that not dollar hns
been made on bale of Cotton bought here, SO
far, this season.
Unfortunately for this town and our merchants
arly,-notwthstanding we have contrib
uted more money towards building railroads
than any people around us-the advantages
given to adjoining towns, in freight on Cotton,
keep regular Cotton buyers away from our
market, which compels our Merchants to become
| cotton buyers also. In other towns cotton buy
ers from the large cities marts locate during
tho seasbn. They buy all the cotton and, OF
course, incur all the losses, if any, while the
merchants confnc themselves TO their legitimate
| business of selling goods running few if any
SxaulIEV1efuss.l Not soAwith tho uier1h"n's OF
Union t6cy-~xn forced to go into the cotton
market, for self preservation, and, as consc-
qucncc, have to bear all the complaints univcr-
sally bestowed upon cotton buyers by the fai
mers, suffer all the losses, in weight and price,
on Cotton, and thus drive grumbling customers
from their stores and cripple themselves, fnan-
cially, besides.
Cotton buying, in cur opinion, is a separate
aud distinct business from regular mcrchands
ing it is u dangerous speculation in which moro
first buyers lose than make money, and from
which regular merchants should, stear clear. II
cuts with two edges-one incurs the curses Of
the seller, tho other cuts deep into the profit:
of regular merchandise business.
Taking this view of the matter, we are moi
so sure but it would be better for merchant:
if they refused to buy bale of cotton, but benz
all their energies 10 competing with other mar
kets in the price of goods fer sale. 1t would ~
better to lose a little on goods than great .dea
| on Cotton. On the one hand their customer:
could not complain, OH the other they woult
| know when to stop, or where to save themselves
| No men in tho, county has done more L
please the farmers than our merchants, and to
day they are paying higher prices for cottoI
than in surrounding markets and selling Goods
quite as low, if net lower.
