Yesterday afternoon one Of A. c. Bakers
jiggers was passing up Com mercal street, " men
it was stopped with great suddenness. As the
team was passing Browns sugar house the
horse of Mr. Warren of Cumberland Mills
started from E. Clement & Co.'s store and ran
straight for Mr.. Barker's team. As though ir-
tent upon doing mischief the animal dashed il
to the double team, the end of the pole striking
him right in the ceLtre of the breast. The nc
mentum of the animal was Sc great that the
pole was driven into the flesh almost two feet,
when it broke off. Mr.. Warren's horse wasi il =
stantly killed and the blow was of sufficient
force to break the leg of one of Mr.. Bakers
horses. The break was so bad that the animal
a uery valuable one, had to BE- killed. Mr..
Warren's horse was alsoa valuable one.

man recently wrote communication for the
Christian Mirror condemnng those who vera
not satisfied with the liquor law as it is. The
man is no doubt good man but he is
coward and has no business to hinder the men
who are 10 earnest and mean business. We
have got to meet this rum fend and defeat
him. We once met one of his disciples in
Market Square and shot him and wounded
several of his friends. We will do it again if
necessary. The ramseller is the murderer
| general the poisoner general and one of the
chief aids OF the gigantic crime of crimes. He
related the case of woman arrested for rum
selling who would not stop selling unless she
was hung and minated that it would come to
| that here if the traffic was not stopped. He
| said that there was more law needed and to
that end he had drawn up petition to be pre-
sented to the next legislature. He read the
document and asked the au Hence to endorse it
which they did. 1t is as follows:
To the Honorable, the Legislature of Maine:
Your petitioners most respectfully represent
that the liquor traffic yet fingers in our larger
towns and cities, where it IS carried on by
stealth by the lowest and vilest part of our pol-
| ulation and by some OF the druggists, who
| brave the penalties OF the law as they now are
Everybody knows that the traffic is in deadly
hostility to every interest of the state and peo-
ple But for that traffic we should have no
tramps, no vagaSonds, few paupers, little pov-
erty and very little crime. The liquor traffic is
an infiuite mischief to the state and an in
finite misery to the people-everybody knows
that to be true. 1t is in truth 'the gigantic
crime OF climes,' as it was declared to be from
the floor of the United States Senate, and your
petitioners now earnestly pray that the Legls-
lature will promptly enact such further penal
ties of fine and imprisonment for its suppress
ion, with such summary processes IN their en-
forcement, as shall speedily and effectually
stamp out the last remains Of that terrible evil
from our state.
Mr.. John T. Walton was introduced as the
first OF the men reformed by the old Washing
toniaL movement. He wanted to keep moving
on the enemy all the while and thus dive the
evil out of the land.
Mrs. Martina Hunt spoke upon the import
ance of enforcing the law as well as using
moral suasion to drive rum from the state. She
related her experience in the crusade in the
West. There it was both moral suasion ant
law that did the business.

Club, sang an original. song entitled, "Com'

soliloquy from the Capt. Of tho "Got Beats"
HEADwATERs OF SALT RIVER,
Sent tember clat 1870


l cannot resist the desire to thank the Sfraioh..
out Democrats who voted for me in the late pri-
mary election. Entering the race as a new man
with the "Stock law" and some other iufiue nces
and prejudices bearing against mo, and with
none OF the ADVANCES which wealth, long resi-
dence IN the county, and old faulty Influences
and associations give, only hoped to mako
gallant and respectable race and am net only
satisfied with the result, but just as grateful to
those who voted for me as if had been cleo
ted.
The views that have expressed in the paper
ana on the stump, concerning the Bond and
other questions, are not only honest con nvictions
but time, think, will prove them to be correct.
IL is great satisfaction to know that every vote
cast Tor me was conscientiously given, and
proves that the efforts that I have made for the
redemption of the State, the success Of the party
and the advancement Of all the interests Of our
people ore remembered and appreciated.
wish It plainly understood, that the position
t9!c, ~"~~"iS~, I1vs lUI spring from any disap-
psintment or "sore head, dness' 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 it
would not have materially affected the result as
applied 10 me-
My ambition is grati6ed, though may never
run Tor ofhce again, from the hurricane deck of
the "Got Beat and the head waters of "Salt
River" while cheerfuy accepting the result of
that "badly mixed" Democratic election, l send
a warm greeting and good wishes to oil, with
the assurance that If thee ountry, the party. or
my friends ever need my services or assistance
In the future, they can have them, as in the
past, without pay opposition.

The Mershanta, PROFITS in Cotton.

The Merchants, ProAts in Cotton.
Ono would suppose, on hearing some people
complain Of the Merchants Of this town for the
prices theypiy and their naunOr of buying Cot
ton, that Cotton buying was o profitable business.
There neysr was moro mistaken idea ever en-
tertained. No merchant in this town has made
a dollar on ahes Cotton he has purchased in the
past three years. On the contrary, all have lost
money on shefr cotton purchases. One mer-
OhsRte NV slsys ago--and we know it 10
be The trdth-that his firm lost, last year, The
value of 40 bales npon their purahaaes, while
another firm has lost $40. 900 on Cotton the past
three years and we know that not dollar has
been made on bale of Cotton bought here, so
far, this season.
Unfortunately for this town and our merchants
particularly, ly,-notwithstand we have contrib
uted more money towards building railroads
than any people around us--the advantages
given to adjoining towns, in freight on Cotton,
ksfp regular Cotton buyers away from our
market, which compes our Merchants to become
| cotton buyers also. In other towns cotton buy
ers from the large cities or marts locate during
tho seas6n. They buy all the cotton and, of
course, incur all the LOSSES, if any, while the
merchants conine themselves to theirlegitimate
! business of selling goods-running few if any
34Useyfrsss3 Not soAwith tho nr1rrirunts- Of
Union, theyrs<o forced to go into the cotton
market, for self preservation, and, as oonse-
! quence, have to bear all the complaints unver-
sally bestowed upon cotton buyers by the fa, =
mers, suffer oil the losses in weight and price,
on Cotton, and thus drive grumbling customers
from their stores and cripple themselves, tinan-
cially, besides.
Cotton buying, in our opinion, is a separate
! and distinct business from regular merchandise
ing it is q dangerous speculation in which more
FIRST buyers lose than make money, and from
which regular merchants should stear clear. 1t
cuts with two edgcs--one incurs the curses of
the seller, tho other cuts deep into the profits
| of regular merchandise business.
Taking this view of the matter, we are not
| so sure but it would be better for our merchants
if they refused to buy bale of cotton, but bend
al their energies 10 competing with other mar.
kets in the prios of goods fer sale. 1t would DC
better to lose a little on goods than great deal
| on Cotton On the one hand their customers
could not complain, OH the other they would
know when to stop, or where to save themselves.
No in thS. county has done moro 70
please the farmsrs than our merchants. and to.
day they are paying higher prices for cotton
than in surrounding markets and selling Goods
quite as low. if not lower

Which was the bsst Markstl

Last week three farmers living not far from
this town had each two bales of Cotton ginned
at tho same gin, intendining to take it to Spar
tanburg the noxt day and sell. Two of them
md sold. hut ihs r%o,si.iAd IN ct.
in Uaion. When tho two returned they all
compared notes, with the astonishing result that
the two who sold Sparanbufg got only 8. 80,
while the third got 9.75 in Union
In the matter of Goods, we are informed by
reliable gentleman that parties have sold cot
ton in Spirtanburg and bought goods in Union
with the money, contending that the prices of
goods here are as low as in any town around us.
These are truths that we cap.aorroborate, 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 e
: In all tho great political demonstrations made
in the CouRties 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 distinction-the red shirt
In Barnwe!l, Aiken, Colleton, and other of
the lower Counties, the red shirt democrats were
conspicuous, while in Laurens, Abbevile, Green
vile and other Of the upper Counties, the pro-
cessions of mounted democrats have added much
to the enthusiasm as well as the attractions Of
the meetings. Union must not be out of fash
ion in that respect. A red shirt costs but q
| trihe, 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 OF
the clubs, particularly, and all other active dem
ocrats attend those meetings in that democratic
gurmcn.. II generary udoptedl at the township
meetings, we shall be prepared to make one Of
| the most, imposing demonstrations at the Grand
rallying meeting of the whole County, at thi,
place, OH the 25th of this month, to greet the
noble Hampton and other State candidates and
