Hon. George D. Tillman for Governor.
The town of Anderson has voted sub
scription of S25, 600 to the capital stock of the
Savannah Valley Railroad Company.
A copious rain at Greenville, Saturday af-
ternoon, was accompanied by quite heavy
fall of hail. No damage, however, was done.
/ The Lancaster Reuiew says that Rev. j. z.
Marion, of Chester, has been employed by the
session Of the Presbyterian Church of Lam
caster, to preach to the congregation of that
place until presbytery convenes.
- Columbia has been selected as the place
for the meeting of both the white and the
colored teachers institutes. The colored in
stitute meets in July, and the white in Au-
gust.
= The two Edgefeld papers Of last week con-
tanned the announcement of seven candidates
for county officers, one for Probate Judge, one
for School Commissioner and five for Clerk OF
Court.
- The Abbeville County Democratic Club
met in convention at Abbeville on the lst in
slant. The principal object of the conven-
tion was the election of new officers, and the
awakening of the people upon the Importance
of registration.
- Gen. R. r. Hemphill has been nominated
for the Senate in Abbeville county, and it is
generally understood that he will make the
race against DR.. Maxwell, the present Senator.
The contest will be spirited one, as both
aspirants are able and popular men.
- Says the Chester Reporter: The question
of having an election to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Gen. Walker is being
ture will undoubtedly be held during the sum-
mer. York and Chester being both without
representation in the Senate would have no
voice in the matter of redistricting the State,
and might he disposed of in a way that would
be unsatisfactory. This is the argument used
by those who advocate an election for Senator
before the extra session meets.
A colored woman preacher has been visit
ing Anderson, and this is what the Intelligent
GER says about her: The colored woman
preacher delivered the last of her sermons
Sunday night, and took her departure Monday
evening. We understand she took up COL
lection at the close of each service for Home
Missions, and as she claimed to be home
missionary, she appropriated to her own use
the proceeds of every collection. 1t is evident
that the woman is an impostor, and it is
strange that the colored people would encour-
age such character.
Says the Lexington Dispatch: 1.-THE Ke-
publican County Chairmen are issuing circu-
lars to the Republicans to organize their
clubs at once and be prepared to register to
man. The circular issued in Barnwell
county says: If an. of you fail to register on
the appointed days, you will not be allowed to
vote in the next general election, so don't let
sickness, crops, contracts or anything else
keep you at home on the days of registration,
for freedom without liberty is no freedom at
ALL This clearly indicates what we are to
expect in the approaching canvass. We will
have the solid Republican party to fight.
Their ranks will be swelled by few discon-
tents, soreheads and Greenbackers, and unless
the Democracy bury all dissentions and differ
ences and unite solidly for the fight we are
certain to be defeated and the State will again
be in the clutches of the same thieves who for
merly lived on her vitals. Let us rally around
the Democratic standard for the protection OF
our dear old mother. He who would desert her
in the hour of her need is worse than traitor D
