the Rev. Robert Irvine gives pleasant reminis-
cences Of Chalmers jeffrey, Wilson and others
who made Edinburgh famous some fifty wears ago.

A Fatal Accident.

A most distressing accident occurred at
the residence of Mr.. W. P. Wright, in
Martin township, near the Abbeville line,
on Monday evening last, which resulted in
the death of Mr.. William Fields and the
painful if not serious injury Of Mr.. Wright.
ftseems that Mr.. Wright had called togeth-
er number of his neighbors to assist him
in raising crib, which was to occupy the
same ground of an old one recently torn
away. On one side of the old building was
q shed, which it was desired should remain,
and become part of the new building, and
which had accordingly been propped up.
As they were proceeding with the raising
of the new crib, however, from some cause
or other, the shed fell, striking both Mr..
Fields and Mr.. Wright, the former dying
from the injuries received within an hours
time. The injuries sustained by Mr.. Wright
were not so serious, though at first it was
feared he could not recover. He was better
when we heard last, however, and it is
thought now he will be able to be out in q
few days. Mr.. Fields was valued citizen,
q quiet and industrious farmer and good
neighbor, who enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of all his acquaintance. He leaves
wife and several children to mourn his
untimely death.

Sandy Springs Camp Meeting.

The Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs on
| of any held there since the war, having been
estimated by good judges at from five. to
eight thousand persons. In the morning
an able sermon was preached in the Church
by Rev. s. B. Jones, D. D., but unfortu-
| nately the building was so small that very
few of the vast crowd present were able to
get standing room within. Rev. Mr.. Rus
sell also preached at the same hour to
very large audience at the arbor, and the
behavior was very good about the preach
ing. though there were many persons who
could not get seats or within reasonable
hearing distance of either Of the ministers
Away from the immediate grounds, how
ever, the good behavior was exchanged for
very bad conduct, for which the parties en-
gagged in it should be heartily ashamed.
We think it strange that people attending
religious meetings on Sunday should so far
forget the proprieties of life as to engage in
such conduct as to render the occasion one
of frolic or boisterous conduct to the an
noyance of those who are seeking to make
it one of moral pleasure and profit. Those
who do not know how to behave them
selves should stay away from such places,
and if they are not disposed to do so of their
own accord, public opinion should enforce
their absence. We are glad to believe in
this case that the rowdies who hung around
the outskirts of the grounds were not from
this County.
The meeting to those who attended it
from the beginning was very interesting
and the results very satisfactory. 1t was
earnest and impressive throughout.

The Premium List.

The premium list of the Twelfth Annual
Fair Of the Anderson Farmers and Nc
chunics Association has been issued, and is
now being distributed through the County
We hope every one who can will obtain q
COPY and ascertain for what premiums are
Offered, and then 60 to work, if they have
not already done so, and prepare something
for exhibition. AS we have stated before,
it is the only thing of public interest to
which our people have to look forward this
fall, and we know of no reason why 1t
should not be in every respect success
There is not an agricultural association IN
the State the reputation and record OF
which can compare with ours. Ever since
its organization it has stood at the head OF
all the county associations in South Caro-,
lima, and we hope to see its success this fall
more complete and the display more bril-
liant than it has ever been in the past.
The Fair will open to the public on
Wednesday morning, 22d October, and con-
tinue for three days. The rules and regula-
tions will be about the same as heretofore,
while the gate fees remain the same. The
premium offered for all articles in the field
crop department is the american Farmer,
one of the best agricultural journals in the
South. For articles in the stock depart
ment the premiums range in value from 81
to $5. In the poultry department one and
two dollar premiums are given, and in the
various household departments, the manu-
facturers', needle and fancy work and fine
art departments premiums of the value OF
one dollar are offered. In the floral depart
ment they range in value from one to five
dollars. The special premiums are valued
at two and three dollars. Taken altogether
the offers are all liberal and generous
enough, and should insure lively compe-
tition. The intrinsic value Of premium,
however, should not be the only incentive
to those competing for it, for where that is
the case dissatisfaction and ill-feeling is sure
to follow. But we should strive for it more
because of the credit and distinction of hav-
ing excelled our competitor in excellence
and merit. This is the spirit by which we
should be actuated, and the spirit that will
render the Fair pleasant as well Us profta-
ble The greater the number of articles eX-
hibited the greater will be the competition.
and consequently the greater the credit and
honor for having been the successful COM
petitor. Let every one consider it duty
to not only to come to the Fair, but to also
contribute something to the exhibition. 1t
will pay in one way if not in another.

SOMETHING New UNDER THE SUN.-A new
era is dawning upon the life of woman.
Hitherto she has been called upon to suffer
the ills of mankind and her own besides.
The frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have long been to her
the ''direful spring of woes unnumbered." !"
In the mansion of the rich, and in the hovel
of poverty alike woman has been the con-
slant, yet patient victim of thousand ills
unknown to man-and these without q
remedy. "Oh Lord, how long," in the
agony of her soul hath she cried. But now
the hour of her redemption is come. She
will suffer no more, for DR.. ]. Bradfeld's
Female Regulator-Woman'sB Best Friend
may be relied on to cure all the diseases pc
culiar to women. Try it and be convinced.

The Excursion on Last Sunday.

The excursion over the Greenyllle & Co.
lumbia Railroad to Sandy Springs on last
Sunday was the largest of the season.
Trains were run from Columbia, Green
Vile, Abbeville and Walhalla at greatly
reduced rates of fare and every car was
crowded. The train from Columbia left
that place with forty-seyen passengers, and
at every station on the line received addi-
tions to its numbers. The train from Abb
beville increased its load very considerably,
and when it reached Bolton the crowd from
Greenville awaiting it swelled the number
to thirteen hundred. The whole train consis-
ted of thirteen coaches, and in order avoid
further crowding and jaming at this place,
IL passed through without making any halt
at all.
A second train came up few minutes
after the first one passed, but as the only
accommodations for passengers were three
box cars, it was not at all crowded, and sew
eral of those who contemplated going, and
had accordingly bought tickets, had their
money refunded rather than put up with
the sorry accommodations. The second
train left this point with eighty passengers,
most of whom were colored, and was called
to the assistance of the first train. which
staulded about Birds Crossing. They ar
rived at the grd inds in safety, however,
ABOUT IL ClOCh, VI SuOtoiy 1A.Si' W. ASHA.
the train from Walhalla was also very much
crowded, and that it brought down over
seven hundred passengers. The days work
was certainly big one for the Railroad,
which realized at least twelve or fifteen
hundred dollars.
The conduct of large number OF the
passengers as they passed this place was any
thing but orderly. The shouting, halloo-
ing and other unnecessary noises Kept up
on the train were distinctly heard several
hundred yards from the Railroad. IL
seemed more like an excursion to big
frolic than to a religious meeting, and that
every body on board took it for granted
that no one expected good behavior. me
conduct of many of the young men after
they arrived at Sandy Spring was not only
disrespectful, but disgraceful in the extreme
While the order Immediately about the
stand and church was generally very good,
out on the outskirts and about the Railroad
it was extremely bad, and calls for the Sc
yerest condemnation. 1t reflects great DIS
credit on the morals and characters of a
large number, who not only engaged in
loud swearing and excessive drinking but
also in many other vices equally as degrad-
ing. 1t is q day that will long be Iemem-
bercd by q great many who were in attend
ancc on the meeting, many scenes OF which
we hope will never again be enacted.
We understand that the authorities of the
camp meeting were opposed to having the
trains run, and even requested that they
should not be run. Ifso, we must say that
the Railroad authorities are responsible for
putting these trains on rs matter of busi-
ness on Sunday to run to religious meet
ing. which WAS anxious TO have them dis
pensed with.
BE it said to the credit of the young men
of Anderson they were in no wise connec-
ted with any OF the bad behavior.

John B. Dorr met most tragic fate by
tub of sediment falling from the mouth to
the bottom of we'll in which he was at
work, few miles from here, and striking
