Sanitary Movement.

The American Public Health Asso-
citation will hold its next annual
meeting in the city Of Nashville,
Tenn, November 18th TO 2Ist; when
tue sanitary condition of cities and
especially those Of the South, will be
discussed.
In Great Britain and other Euro
pean countries, sanitary measures
have received the attention their i'm
portance demand; but in America,
Dntil recently, fatal indifference as
to all precautionary measures to pre-
vent or 10 arrest the spread Of cpl
denies, seemed to have rested on the
people. The fatality which attends
yellow fever in the West and else
where, ought to make every sanitary
movement a matter Of interest to our
entire people. With this view this
notice is written, and with the hope
that some representative Of The mcdi-
cal profession may be induced 10 at
tend the proposed meeting. BY COM
municating with j. Bcrricn Lindsey
at once .inf9rmation as: 70 railroad
passes will be given.

The Charleston Nomination.

At O ,recemt Dcmoc attic Convcn-
tion, of the city, Capt. VIM. A. Cour-
tenay was unanimc usly nominated for
the; office of Mayor of the city, and ac-
tceptcd it very gracefully in letter Of
:tllanks TO the Secretaries. This, we
suppose, puts an end TO all attempts
at reconciliation between the party
proper AND the Sale faction. Three
candidates will run the campaign
Through: Mr.. Courtenay, the regular
democratic nominee, and q gentle
man in every respect, trustworthy
and honorable Dir. Sale, who might
ibe: considered; bolter, rpqs from,
purely selfish motives and refuses to
be controlled by party dictation and
Mr.. Gaycr, an independent candi-
date, who is opposed to party organ
.ization, and wishes to run in between
the. two contending factions. We
hope the people of Charleston will see
lthe necessity of party organization
. ,and give their support TO the party's
candidate. If either Of the latter be
elected Mayor, it will be calamity
most pcrnicious in its effects and cs-
,pccially TO party unity in the city,
and indirectly throughout the State.
IAN attempt will doubtless be made
to rcorganize the old Radical party,
and if this should he consummated, a
,disorganizcd or even divided Democ-
racy will be helpless to resist a party
opposed to our prosperity, our policy

The Fair,

The Orangeburg Agricultural and
Mechanical Association opened it's
sixth annual exhibition un Wedncs-
day, October goth, at II o'clock A. II.
The visitors in town, apprised Of this
fact by the ringing of the Company's
bell, began TO wend their way to the
gro1n son New Street; and soon
squads and groups Of men, women
and children might be seen anxiously
walking, and horscmen and buggies
fastening to the point Of attraction.
Tie DEMoCRAr, no less anxious and
curious, fell in line, and at twelve
confronted the gate keeper, who, with
a merciful smile, said 'Pass in, sir"
and we passed in proud that our impor-
tancc had been recognized, and thank
full that tue inevitable half had not
been demanded. A few plows we're
in line before the front door to arrest
The attention, bat, satisfied with a
look. we entered the building, Bales
Of cotton, hay, peavines and jute are
standing OH either hand, seemingly
as sentincls to guard tile smaller par
GELS of corn, peas, rice, Wheat, ETC.,
that lay scattered on the floor and
tables as representative Of the field
crops of oul county. In this depart
ment we would mention the jute con.
tributed by DIR. j. G. Holman and
Alr. IIarpin Riggs, as samples of
crops planted to test the rracticabililv
of cultivating this crop in tue place
Of cotton. The great trouble of cul-
tivation and the want Of The proper
machinery for its preparation for
market will prevent jute, for years,
from becoming leading crop in the
South. A sample of rice from crop
of forty acres. raised by MIR. C. J.
Stroman, which averaged fifty bush
els per acre, deserves mention from
the fact that the crop was raised by
water culture. An ingenious contriv.
ance in the shape Of an easy chair
from the fertile brain of DR.. w. S.
Barton, just suits lazy man, and
was consequently kept constantly en-
ploycd. Mr.. w. A. Mackay had on

gar Mlillct from which he realized $50
gallons to an acre and quarter.
The seed Of this millct is excellent
food for all kinds Of stock. Mr.. j.
l.. Moorer is the champion turnip
raiser, contributing from his large
crop some Of the largest We have ever
seen.

ascend 10 the second floor, aud, turn
ing to the left, came to the table on
which were several specimens of tan.
