The Southern Expo.
sifiOM.

The original design of the Southern
Exposition at Louisville, Kentucky, was
to gather under one roof the typical pro-
duets of Kentucky and her sister South
ern States. In its success our people are
almost as much interested as those of
Kentucky. from the fact that whatever
tends to advance her interests cannot
fail to affect us favorably also. The Ex-
positionwill be q splendid medium. If we
desire to use it, through which to ad-
yertise the great capacities ofthis State
and we earnestly hope some action Will
be taken by our citizens locking to d
representation: with little exertion on
their part. an exhibit Of our mineral,
agricultural. and manufacturing pro-
ducts ran be collected and sent to LOU
isville, which will repay a thousand
fold all the expense connected there
with.
The Exposition will assurcdly be a
success. there is no question but that
the attendance will be largely in excess
of last year, when it reached 10000. 1t
has gone ahead of all others in the char
acter of its Art Gallery and Music.
This year the former will. ifpossible. De
more attractive than before. and the
fact that Cappa and Gilmore will again
furnish the music is itself q guarantee
of its tone. The Live Stock Exhibit
will secure an immense attendance. 1t
is stated that at one time there will be
shown 4 collection of horses whose ag-
greeate value will exceed $l.OO0,OOO.
No other State but Kentucky can pro-
duce an exhibit such as this.
The management this year under the
direction Of Bennett H. Young, Presi-
dent, is live one. and a guarantee that
everything will be done which energy,
skill and public spirit will require.

WHAT OTHERS THINK.

Somebody Sc: ms to be making
special efforts t. have the accusa-
tions made aga:.:st George john
stone by friends of Col. D. Wyatt
Aiken in Newberry published as
widely as possible. There is no
method so sure to secure a mans
success as the bringing Of false
charges which are easily disproved
against him.
Col. d. Wyatt Aiken delights in
posing as the farmers friend and
appearing before the public as a
horny handed son of toll. His
friends, not content with sustaining
him in this perfectly harmless COM
edy, now seek to create the impress
sion that Mr.. Johnstonc is the far
mer's enemy, and industriously cir
culate the story that that gentleman
declared in q speech in Columbia
that the agricultural interest was
becoming too strong and would
have to be throttled to prevent it
from absorbing the power of the
State. Now Col. Y. j. Pope, OF
Newberry, publishes the statement
of the five gentlemen composing
the committee TO which the speech
alluded to was made. They unite
in declaring that Mr.. Johnstone did
not then or at any other time to
their knowledge attack the agricul-
tural interests Of the State. What
he did say was that an effort was
being made to give the Board of
Agriculture power over the dispo-
sition of certain phosphate rights
which should properly be left with
the people through their representa-
tives in the Legislature, and that
that Board was acquiring too much
power and should be checked. That
is the whole story and its disscm-
ination will surely show the people
the truth and gain their sympathy
for a slandered man.
One of the witnesses called by
Col. Pope is Maj f. B. Murray, of
Anderson, whose response in de-
fence Of his opponent by prompt
and frank statement Of the facts is
magnanimous. manly and exceed
ingly creditable to him. He evil

methods used by Col. D. Wyatt

THE COURT OF GENERAL SES-
SIONS.

Court net Monday morning, and
adjourned Wednesday morning at
half past nine o'clock.
Judge Aldric' delivered brief
charge to the Grand Jury, in which
he said that it is the duty Of the
State to give its children the ad-
yantages Of 4 rudimcntary cduca
ton; but when it has done what
the Constitution requires, and
taught them to read, write and
cipher. it has done its duty.
Two indictments were handed
out, one true bill was found, and
tile Grand Jury was discharged
Monday morning.
The following cases came up:
The State vs.. General Myers,
stealing live stock-pleaded guilty;
sentence, six months in the Peni-
tentiary.
The State vs.. Hampton Mitchell.

high and aggravated nature; SEN
tcnce, one year in the Pcnitcntiary.
The State VS.. Green Owens,
murdcr-guiity Of manslaughter;;
sentence, ten years in the Penltan-
tiary.
The Grand Jury made their re-
port Which we give in substance:
The offices and hooks ofth various
county officers. except that Of
School Commissioner which will be
examined hereafter, were examined
and found well kept. The Grand
Jury deplore the fact that funds in
the hands Of the Sheriff, Clerk, Pro-
bate Judge and Master cannot he
paid out, after long years have
elapsed, because the cases from
which they arise have not been de-
termined.
The taxable property of the
County has increased, and the
financial condition Of the County is
improving. The floating indebted
ness is small, and the funded indebt-
cdness( s(county and schooDor!glna'ly
about $4,000 will be entirely paid
in two years at farthest.
The offices and books OF the
Trial Justices in town appear TO be
correct, upon examination, and
the books of the County Justices,
so far as examined appear to he
correct. The Grand jury know
Of no cause OF complaint against
them, but take pleasure in noting
that litigation in these courts has
considerably decreased.
The attention Of the County Com
missioners is directed to the con-
dition Of the New Cut Road from
