The Executive Committee at vocir meeting on Wednesday made some amendments to the regular rules governing the primary in the County. The polls will be opened at 8 A. M., and closed at 5 P. M., instead of 12 M., and 5 P. M., as formerly. Rule 11 which provides that each ballot shall contain the name of every person offering for office, is amended so as to read that as to Trial Justices, a ballot containing the name of the Trial Justice voted for shall be sufficient. Rule 12 is SO CHan««*l as. to vand: t tun* t x au.jcuiiii v uiuiu t,uau j. win uucmiticu to vote at the next general election, etc. This amendment permits all men who arc not now -twenty-one years old, but who will be before the general election in November to vote at the county primary. Rule 17 which requires the Executive Committee to meet the "Tuesday next following the day of the primary" is amended, so as to require the committee to meet the day after the primary. Rule 25 reads as follows: 25. As to candidates for the. office of Trial Justice, voters shall be entitled to vote only for a Trial Justice residing within the judicial district of the Trial Justice voted for. Any voter may vote for a Trial Justice for the judicial district in which he resides at the club of which he is a member, whether such club be located in the judicial district of the Trial Justice voted for or not Where the membership of any club extends over more ihan one Trial Justice's district the managers of such club shall provide a box for each district represented in such club and make a separate poll list for each box. In this connection we would call the attention of candidates to rulo 24, which is: 24. No votes shall be counted for any candidate unless he shall first have pledged himself in writing-, or in a card published in a county newspaper, to abide by and support the nomination of the* Democratic party and not to accept cither a nomination or an office from any source other thau the regularly constituted Democratic organization. The pledge shall be filed with the secretary of the County Executive Committee, or be published as above, at least five days before the day fixed for the first primary election. .Rev.

CARD FROM SOLICITOR M'DOXALD. j To the Democratic Voters of Fairfield: It would give me pleasure to meet | you in the county canvass :iovv in progress in the county, but* as that is now in a measure impracticable, I ! adont tills method of informing you that I am a candidate for rc-clectiou to the office of Circuit Solicitor, and that I desire your suppovt in the coming primary election. I feel that I am better known to the people.of Fairfield than to the people of the other counties in the Circuit. In 18S0. when I was not a candidate for any office, in company with the regular nominee, I made a canvass of the county for the interest and benefit of the. Democratic party. .During the last four years in the discharge of the various duties of my county. Again, York county candidate in the field and having about twice the number of Democratic voters of any other county in the Circuit, has been made the battle ground by all the candidates for the Solicitorship. These facts have suggested to me the necessity of making a thorough canvass of York county. If my fellow-citizens approve my record in office and the maucef i.»i which I have discharged the various duties thereof, I will greatly appreciate their confidence and approbation by receiving their votes and support on the day of the primary election. Trusting that 1 shall receive the same and that for the next four years the office may be held by one of your own citizens, I am, Very respectfully J. E. McDonald. THE CA31PAIGX. It is uunecessary to again report the speeches of the different candidates in these columns, but we give a short account of the meetings as held, so far. At Woodward the Albion Bandana \t,. t \r ana yyouu>v»iu wuu; ujuv. ml. Boulware presided and introduced the speakers. There was a large crowd in attendance and a most excellent picnic was given, which was hugely enjoyed by all present. As is the case at Woodward and every other place which the candidates have attended, the ladies were the chief factors in ^ making the crowd enjoy themselves, both by their presence and the excellent dinners thoy got np. The Fcasterville band was at Woodward, and entertained the assembled crowd with music which was universally spoken of in the highest terms. The candidates left Woodward and [ moved to Poplar Church, where the GLaddeu's Grove and Oakland Clubs met. After the addresses all repaired to the picnic, a sine qua non in politi. cal campaigns, and it must be said that ( these clubs know how to do a thing and they do it well. Ridge way was the next point. The . T.rtnnrtnwn Rpftr Hrfluk and HidffC- I way Clubs met at this place. There was a large crowd in attendance to ' whom the speakers made their talks. At Coleman's Spring a barbecue was given, and candidates and people with , one accord adjourned to this spot at the proper time, but we feel it unnecssarv to state that everybody showed the proper enthusiasm in this part of business. The ladies of Eidgeway had refreshments on the grounds, and ' were liberally patronized. The pro5 ceeds from this will go to the parx sonages of the Baptist and Presbyterian , Churches. Blythewood was stormed and capt tared on Thursday. This meeting . while large and enthusiastic was not t characterized by the regulation picnic, but all all the same the Democracy of ' Blythewood is as earnest in the interI ests of good Democratic governmeni t as any of them. This is proven by the : fact that Blythewood never gave a e Radical majority, and never will for that. The meeting passed off in the II pleasantest manner, everybody being r interested in the speeches, and delight »i ed with the social intercourse afFordec ; by it. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Flint Hill Plantation..The past week has beeu upon the whole very favorable for the cotton j lant. The firs!- (lavs the sun was hot and the wind high during the middle of tihe day, which caused the plant to wtlt, and in some places the shedding of he forms commenced. The latter part has been very favorable. A light shower fell on Wednesday, followed by a good rain Thursday night, which has fully revived it and I think fnsures a good* crop. There are some line cotton crops in this vicnity, that of Mr. N. A. Peay, I think, stands first. Messrs. Hollis, Rains, DeVaull, and a number of other farmers have good cotton also. Potatoes, peas, sorghum and late planting of corn doing well. DuBoss's Store..For the lasL week it has been very hot. Cotton has suffered more from heat than from the j want of rain.

Although I knew from the start thamy personal interests would suffer b]my candidacy, yet I consented to rui

thinking that there were some issues a

stake upon which the candidates differed. Baying attended three of thicampaign meetings and having hear(the candidates express themselves, !found that we all favored the sami

things. So finding out that thicounty would not suffer by the electioiof three of the four remaining candi

; dates, and knowing that my owi

affairs would suffer, and feeling tba; mv .physical strength could not stan<

CARD FROM SOLICITOR M'DOXALD. jTo the Democratic Voters of Fairfield:It would give me pleasure to meet |

you in the county canvass :iovv in

progress in the county, but* as that is

now in a measure impracticable, I

! adont tills method of informing youthat I am a candidate for rc-clectiou to

the office of Circuit Solicitor, and thatI desire your suppovt in the comingprimary election.

I feel that I am better known to the

people.of Fairfield than to the peopleof the other counties in the Circuit.

In 18S0. when I was not a candidatefor any office, in company with the

regular nominee, I made a canvass ofthe county for the interest and benefitof the. Democratic party..During the last four years in the

discharge of the various duties of my

county.Again, York county

candidate in the field and havingabout twice the number of Democraticvoters of any other county in theCircuit, has been made the battleground by all the candidates for theSolicitorship. These facts have suggestedto me the necessity of making a

thorough canvass of York county.If my fellow-citizens approve my

record in office and the maucef i.»iwhich I have discharged the variousduties thereof, I will greatly appreciatetheir confidence and approbation byreceiving their votes and support on

the day of the primary election.Trusting that 1 shall receive the

same and that for the next four yearsthe office may be held by one of yourown citizens, I am,

Very respectfullyJ. E. McDonald.

THE CA31PAIGX.

It is uunecessary to again report the

speeches of the different candidates inthese columns, but we give a shortaccount of the meetings as held, so far.At Woodward the Albion Bandana

\t,. t \rana yyouu>v»iu wuu; ujuv. ml.

Boulware presided and introduced the

speakers. There was a large crowd inattendance and a most excellent picnicwas given, which was hugely enjoyedby all present. As is the case atWoodward and every other placewhich the candidates have attended,the ladies were the chief factors in

^ making the crowd enjoy themselves,both by their presence and the excellentdinners thoy got np. The Fcastervilleband was at Woodward, andentertained the assembled crowd withmusic which was universally spokenof in the highest terms.The candidates left Woodward and

[ moved to Poplar Church, where theGLaddeu's Grove and Oakland Clubsmet. After the addresses all repairedto the picnic, a sine qua non in politi.cal campaigns, and it must be said that

(these clubs know how to do a thingand they do it well.Ridgeway was the next point. The

. T.rtnnrtnwn Rpftr Hrfluk and HidffC-I way Clubs met at this place. Therewas a large crowd in attendance to

'

whom the speakers made their talks.At Coleman's Spring a barbecue was

given, and candidates and people with, one accord adjourned to this spot at

the proper time, but we feel it unnecssarvto state that everybody showedthe proper enthusiasm in this part ofbusiness. The ladies of Eidgewayhad refreshments on the grounds, and

' were liberally patronized. The pro5ceeds from this will go to the parxsonages of the Baptist and Presbyterian, Churches.

Blythewood was stormed and capttared on Thursday. This meeting. while large and enthusiastic was not

t characterized by the regulation picnic,but all all the same the Democracy of

' Blythewood is as earnest in the interIests of good Democratic governmenit as any of them. This is proven by the: fact that Blythewood never gave a

e Radical majority, and never will forthat. The meeting passed off in the

II pleasantest manner, everybody beingr interested in the speeches, and delight»i ed with the social intercourse afFordec; by it.
