was Lid on Monday last, and everything
passed of pleasantly. Col. j. s.. CothIan
was elected County Chairman, and the fol-
lowing gentlemen will represent the Coun-
ty in the State Convention j. O. Maxwell,

Hemphill and Vim. Hood. Resolutions
endorsing Congressman Aiken and request
ing the delegation to the State Convention

portion Of the delegation are Gary men.
/ The Executive Committee OF tho Ander-
aon Farmera' md Mechanics' Association
met on Tuesday morning, and several
important changes were made In regard to
the future management of tile Associate ..
The admission fee to tho annual fairs was
reduced to 25 cents for adults and i5 cents
for children, and it was determined here
after to pay oil premiums in money. The
premium list will be published in o few
weeks, and circulated in every section of
the County. IL is to be hoped that the
changes made will beget new interest in
the fairs, and that hereafter they will be
more genere ualy patronized. ,s;35
Now that new Superintendent has taken
charge of the Greenyille 6 Columb;e Rail-
roe.d, we hope some attention will be paid
/ 20 the accommodation and comfort OF pas-
sengers on the Anderson Branch. We; can
see no reason why o comfortable passeuger
coach should not be placed on this section
of the Road, as the amount of travel be-
tween Walhalla and, Bolton certainly justi-
des It,. There is no section OF The G. & C.
e. z. so neglected as the Anderson Branch.
and we doubt if there rs nother part oetlio
line of the same length that pays tie Com.
pany better, sinca the establishment of the
depot at Seneca City.
The passenger train on the Greenyille &;
Columbia Railroad came near being precip.
itated into stream ON Ast Friday by the
giving away of o trsstIe between Silver
Street end saluda Old Town, Tho disaster
was aveIsed by the prezenfss OF mind oY tlss,
engineer, who Siiheovs cred the dafett In the
trestle just as his engine reached it.t He put
on o fun head OF steam, and fairly made
the engine jump across THE trestle, and
thereby saved the train and preyeited o Sc
rious accident. After getting safely over
the train was stopped and an examination;
revealed the fact that one OF the stringers
/ upon which the trestle rested had decayed,
was broken in two and the bench or up-
right pieces had fallen into the water. One
side Of The track sank down over two feet
40 the train passed over.
The Abbeville Pfess and Eaa,,st does not
like either Hagocd or Gary as aggubernatoYinl
candidate, and thinks that IL wiiiba diff
cult for the Democracy to succeed in the
approaching election u itla either of these
! parties as its standard bearer. ItWonld like
to aeeSa third man nominated, as. In It's
| opinion, Abbeville County cannot be united
on either He5oUd or Gary, The PTess.l and
Bdarcr of course knows the feeling OF the
Democracy OF that County in regard to this
matter better than We. do, sbat It Is certainly
hard for us to think that the Abbeyille De-
mocracy would refuse TO give the man whom
the State Convention nominates for Cover
nor their hearty and united support It Is
perfectly legitimate to have personal and
individual preferences prior to the nomina-
s::: - lis ;s Z. -. :s .:.. =: Z: M ,,:
preferences should be dismissed, end every
anort concentrated on the nominee.
