THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Eleventh Annual Fair of the
Farmers and Mechanics Association of
Anderson County will be held al Ander-
son Court House on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, the 29rd, 24th and 25th
of October. During previous years these
Fairs were decided successes, and they
have contributed greatly to the advance
ment of the agricultural and mechanical
interests of the County. They have
shown what our soil under proper i'm
provement and cultivation can be made
to produce, and it would be difficult to
estimate their advantages to the County.
It is to the interest of all the industrial
pursuits of the County that these Fairs
should be successful, and that their sue
cess should be so decided as to insure
their permanency. tits only necessary for
those who labored and toiled during the
past year to exhibit what they have ac-
complished to make the coming e1hibi-
ton superior to any which have preceded
it. We hope that the different occupa-
tions and industries of the County will
be fully represented, and that all will
feel an interest in this exhibition, and by
their own exertions make the Anderson
County Fair that success to which the
industries of the people entitle it.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR rs DUE.
The True Story of the "Bullet-Sawn Oak
of the Bloody Angle"

VA shS A'Aooes
The Abbeville P-ess and Banner, in
noticing Gen. McGowan's report of the
Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court
house, says:
Of all the fierce struggles of the war,
fruitful in glory and fearful in bloodshed,
those battles are unsurpassed. "The
Bloody Angle" then described by lines of
death-dealing fire stands out unique
picture in the gallery of war.
We are informed that the stump of
the tree cut down by myriads of mtlsket
balls, referred to by Gen. MCGOWAN, has
been uprooted, removed to Washington,
and is now on exhibition there at the war
department. It was displayed at the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia
as remarkable evidence of bravery and
endurance of soldiers in battle. 1t GER
tainly affords the highest evidence pos
sible of the intensity and duration of a
musketry fire, and of the devotion of the
soldiers who could stand such fire. But
it must not be forgotten that it was not
the Federals, but the Confederate soldiers
who received that fire. The tree stood
within "the Bloody Angle" a few steps
in the rear of the Confederate trenches,
and every ball which struck it was dis
charged from Federal rife, and pas
sed over the "boys in gray" and struck
the tree in their rear.
Col. A. P. Butler, now the Honorable
Senator from Aiken County, then COM
manded the First South Carolina Regi-
ment, was very near the tree, witnessed
the whole process of scaling" and saw
it when it fell upon and injured some of
his men. The diameter of the tree was
measured by the sword Of Gen. Wilcox
and found to be twenty inches. The in
cident is perfectly we'll authenticated and
is certainly one of the most interesting
in the annal of war. There are many
famous trees, but not one that we wot of
NOT the Royal Oak of England, nor the
Charter Oak of America, can vie histor-
ical interest with the bullet-sawn oak of
the Bloody Angle. Let the Federal
government give it an honored place
among the spoils of that bloody war; let
it be preserved as proof of the terrific
power and concentration of the firing OF
the Northern soldiers. But it would be
a strange reversion of title to glory if the
pierced and jagged stem Of that sacred
tree should be regarded as redounding to
the honor of the Federals, instead of
as signal of the Confederate bravery
unmatched in warlike story.

Will you be so kind as to send me copy
of your paper, for which will subscribe
as soon as ] know what the terms are.
These Republicans lie SO hard about the
paper. its contents, &C., that want 1t
here at hand. Yours truly,
We must say that it strikes us that our
Republican contemporaries & the North
have to 60 long way from home to
find subject to write upon when they
discuss the INTELL1eENcER. If they
would devote their attention to the rings
and rascalities of the Republican party
in Washington and in some of the North
ern States, they would have more pro-
fitable theme. The factis, however, they
are compelled to overlook what is going
on around them, and appear to find some
mighty subject for discussion in picking
up a Southern country paper and con-
torting and transforming its sentiments
so as to give them plausible plea for
opening a TRADE of villainous abuse
against the South. With that ignoble
and mean spirit which characterizes all
papers which seek to array one section OF
our common country against another,
these papers make false and malicious
statements about the Southern press, and
have not even manhood and honor to
send copies of the paper in which they
make these infamous statements to the
Southern papers they so unfairly attack.
After the elections in Vermont and
Maine, these sectional agitators had bet
ter subside. If they do not, there is a
strong probability that there will be moth
ing Of Republicanism left to amuse us
in 1880. ,.s..ss=.z

The meeting at Kingstree, in Williams
burg County, on last Monday was a
large and enthusiastic one, considering the
proportion of the population to other
counties. There were some two thous-
and persons present, one-fourth OF whom
were colored. The stand was magnih-
Gently decorated, and the greatest inter
est was manifested by the people of this
county. Speeches were mado by Gov.
Hampton, Hon. John S. Richardson and
E. B. Murray, Esq, after which Solicitor
Hirsch, Who hiss heretofore been Re-
publican, was introduced, and announced
his determination tosupport Gov. Hamp-
ton and the entire Democratic ticket.
Taken all together. it seems to us that the
prospects for Swails and the other Radi-
Gals is a blue one in this county. The
motto of the day was Williamsburg
must be redeemed" and we believe the
task;will be performed.

Some of the Massachusetts, papers do
not like what the INTEsLIGENcER said
I about Gov. Rice refusing to surrender
Kimpton under Gov. Hampton's requisl-
ton. We are not particular about
whether they are pleased or not, mas
much as we did not express our views on
that subject for the purpose of securing
the cmmendation of a set of journals
whose highest ambition is to yillify one
section of the union for the purpose OF
keeping in power party whose only life
consists in hate, and whose only food Is
public plumber. In fact, if the Radical
papers of Massachusetts had agreed with
us we would have been convinced our
views we're wrong, for that portion of the
press has not been known to be right on
public matters in the last fifteen years.
BY the way, however, it strikes us that
the people of Massachusetts do not seem
to think the INTELL1GENcER's views
were so unreasonable, after all, for even
the Republicans have thrown aside both
Gov. Rice and Mr.. Attorney General
Train, and nominated other men to take
their places, thus showing that if these
officials and their newspaper allies were
willing to let the State become an asylum
for political rogues, that the people OF
that State have some objections to such
a policy. They realize that their State
has been scandalized and disgraced by
the course of Gov. Rice, and have shown
determination to retrieve their integrity
as State by utterly discarding him and
: the Attorney General who assisted in
perpetrating this outrage upon law
While the people even of Massachusetts,
thus condemn these men, we can afford
to look with complacency upon the dis
comfture manifested by their partizan
