tHE OMNGEBURG TIMES, Orangebnrg, S. 0., June &, 1871 LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE CO?NTY. J. S. HEY WARD, Editor. What we want for the South in the Baltimore Convention, arc a short scssiou, unanimity of action, nnd no democratic nomination. A democratic nomination would, from present appearances, be en suring to Gramt his reelection. Yet, wc think that the opposition to Grecley, on the part of tho northern delegates in the convention*/ Will' be both strong and deter mined. We hope/ however, that the South ern delegates will beuten who arc convin ced that this being persuaded by the demo crats of the North, who aro our worsts enemies, is worn out; that the salvation" of the South nuist be wrought out by the South. And it we cannot get what wc Consider for our preservation, let our del egates withdraw from the Convention, meet in Richmond, and tell the Soil(licm people what they must do. Wc say tousr because we believe that tho delegates will speak the desire of the people; and in this Case otthe white people of the South, and whatever they decide is the necessity, our emergency admits of no argument. The North may be at liberty to theorize, but with us it is not only a question of honesty but one of race. This is what wc must meet fairly and squarely, and aa a unit. Let us wrangle as much as wc may, as to the best measures to be adopted ^what ever our delegates eventually declare to be the proper action, let us adopt that without a murmur, acting as a unit. * ' ' ? County politics run highland the vuri Ous candidates are comingpo light, one by one. Several politicdBg?cting& have tak en place already in and about the county, nnd those who are interested in such t lungs go out pretty roALarly. The exodus is noticeable in town rffc>stly by tho closing tip of all the windows and doors in rogue's ^ row. Just at preseut, everything is love ly, and every body's goose apparently hangs high. The goal is yet afar oft, and tho time is uot at hand for bolting and being thrown out, &c., Ac. Wo arc not in the ring, nor are we sufficiently posted to represent accurately the ?.norme nnd merits of each particular aspirant; but our friends may rest assured that they Will iu time bo presented with a "slate," which wc will carefully select and offer for their favorable consideration; with ar guments the most forcible wc can find. In the meantime, we can but express the Wish that as the crops arc already some what backward, the colored people will not waste too much of their time listening to political harangues. The ?RANOEBUEO County Biiji.e Society.?This society had its second annual meeting last Sabbath evening in the Baptist Church at this place. At 8i o'clock the President, liev F. Auld called the meeting to order. Upon his taking the chair the ceremonies were introduced by singing tho hymn 'Bock of Ages.' This was followed with a prayer by the Vice President, Rev J. D. A.Brown. The hymn "Lot everlasting glories crown," was then sung, the minutes of tho last meeting read und confirmed, and a full and interesting report made by Kirk Robinson, Esq, who Is the Secretary of the Society. Lack of space and time prevent our publishing this report which wo propose to give in full in our next issue. The report was upon motion adopted, nnd a collection taken up, after which upon motion of Rev T. II. Legare, the following gentlemen were elected officers fof the ensuing year. Rev. F. Auld, President j Rev. J. D. A Brown, 1st Vice President; Kev. A. Pope Norris, 'id Vice President; K. Robinson Esq., Sec'y, Treas.and I)cpositarian. Also the following executive committee: Pres ident, and Secretary, ex officio, Dr. T. A. Elliott, Messrs. M. Glover, F. S. Dib ble, J. II. Fowles, F. IL W. Briggmnn, und J. A. Zcigler. Tho election wns followed by an ad dress upon the sourco, purpose, history find influence of the Biblo by Mr. John A. Hamilton,.who treated the subject with graphic beauty, concluding with an elo quent appeal to tho assembly to perform their duty in behalf of disseminating tho gospel. In conclusion a hymn was sung, a prayer made by Rev SI r. Norris, the L. M* doxoiogy sung, a benediction pro nounced by Rev Mr. Brown, the meet ing then adjourned. The New Street is the topic of the day. At every corner you are asked, "arc you a street man or not? Aro you in favor, of or against the street?" As we said be fore we have been unable to sec any valid argument brought against the street; that \4, any thing to prove that it must be detrimental. Still we are in favor of let ting both sides have a fair showing in our columns. Ono thing is sure: any open space will be apt to relieve us in a measure from the overflow of hogs, wi'h which the town is infested'. This itself is a thing much to bo desired. This opinion we hazard; not however proposing to be for or against hogs, as we have been warned that this is a dangerous topic. Run the street first for the hogs nnd then run the hogs for the street. "We are glad to hear that Mr Rowe whom every body in the County knows as uncle. Peter, who is the oldest mason in the United States and one hundred years of age, has entirely recovered from serious indisposition, which a short time ago threatened to prove fatal. Wc had hardly heard that his relations were gath ering around what they feared would be bis death bed, when wo bear that he is again up, riding and walking around as usual?that is as if he were about fifty years of age, which our readers know is not by any means old. Mr Rowe is a most remarkable man, who believes in living and enjoying life?has been doing so for over one hundred years nnd has not died from it yet, but expects to have another jovial reunion on Jus next birth day. May health and happiness attend him in the interim, and full joy then and there after to the end of his life's journey. Wc find the following enclosed in a sub-confidential sort of way: On the street, we heard one of "ATrie's sunnics," of twelve years, give vent to the following: "You Ink! Ink!?Dat nigger is so black I hab to call him Ink, to 'track his 'ten sion. Dat nigger couldn't dribe a gray horse for mk. He'd spile de horse's com plexion !" Messrs. Editors.?The beautiful fish ing smack, "Horace Grceley," was this clay launched on the fast rolling stream of the Edisto, and tho' unaccompanied with the thrilling roar of Artillery or the waving of Banners, yet the joyful iips of the master builders and spectators poured forth a volume of feeling, that will not only tell well upon the table in the shape of a Bell-Cow Trout and brass aide jack fish; but [joints graphically to a political, cpicuriau luxury that will be enjoyed in the South and elsew here, when the honorable name it bears shall be placed at the helm of the greater Ship of State. Slay the small ripple that radi ates from; the little boat increase in vol ume as it bears onward tho genius of Reform, until it lashes the surrounding shores of our unhappy country. With due Respect. Sl'ES. NV?NpKHi'ul.?We had the pleasure of meeting and conversing yesterday with Mr. Frank Palmer, a gentleman well known in the community, who, some months ago, was known to have been to tally deaf and dumb. After an ufllie tion of nine years, caused from a gun shot wound received in battle, Sir. Pal mer is entirely restored to tho use of his long lost faculties, and presents to the world and his friends one of those cases of the wonderful achievements in medical science of which we sometimes read, but seldom or never witness. Wo heartily congratulate Sir. Palmer on his restora tion, ami the consequent happiness it must bring with it.?[Carolinian. * ^m The stockholders of the Air Line Rail road meet in convention at Spnrlanbur next Wednesday. The New Street. continued. As to tho private lots, nil we have to say is thisJ if it is to tho interest of the people to have the street, let it go through; and pay 4.he land owners the actual value of the lands'appropriated lor the use of the public. In running tho now street, however, let it be laid off sftthnt while it may accomplish tho object intended, it will do the least possible injury to the owners of lota through which it passes. "Many Tax-payers" say that they can sec no good resulting from it "at present." By this they admit that it may become necessary to have it in tho future. Now it' the city fathers do exhibit a little meto forethought and sea now what "Many Tax-payers" admit may become necessary in the future, "Many Tax-pay ers" .have no right to complain. "The People" and the city fathers will have committed no error, but only s?en a lit tlo farther, and recognized now a ne cessity which "Many Tax-payers" admit may hereafter exist. This is the whole thing. It is a difference iu tim?. Again, it is said, "so soon as there springs up a demand for building lots, there will bo a corresponding disposition to furnish them." Show me, in tho past, where this has been so. There has been a demand for those very kind of lots over since the war, and who of the "Many tax-payers," have shown tho "disposition to furnish them ?" Name tho lots fur nisho l. I know that many persons have left, who were desirous of settling in our midst, because they could not obtain suitable building lots. And 1 know fur ther, that those who have built, in tho majority of eases, have had to do so on some one of tho roads leading into the town, been Use they could do no better. These are facts, and I have heard or read that facts are stubborn things. If, however, "Many Tax-Payers" have any good and valid reasons against this project, let us have them. But wc con fess that the whole argument of "Many Tax-Payers" does not convince us. Any one who read said article cannot fail to sec thai self-interest has swallowed tip every thing else. Quit self now for a lit tle while, und think of tho prosperi ty of tho whole town, the true interest of the whole pio pie, and tho welfare and .happiness of your neighbors; Don't wait for the demand. But hoid out tin- in ducement. Dbnt wait formen to come and ask for lots. But arrange ami fix lots so that they will bo eligible, aud invite emigrants to . t.me. ! nm iti favor of another street on tho South side of Main stree t, I wish that it was open n >w, and I hope to see it opened at no distant day.

Tho temperance cause in Aiken is in a flourishing condition, and throughout the county much interest is manifested in the cause. The Attorney General has decided it as his. opinion, that the State License Law does not presume, by reason of granting a license to sell i<pu>r, to authorize any per son to carry on or conduct such business when tho laws of the city, county or State prohibit such business, unless such party take out a license under their respective laws. _ax-'l- south Korthcrn visitors have nearly all left' Aikcn. \J Alexander Fotfw?rbh, a vcr\>-old ci zcn of Suinter, died last week.

"When women bceomc lawyers nnd ju rors, babies may get to be criers in our courts. An Irish editor say- he can see no earthly reason why women should not bo allowed to become medical men. A Colorado editor avenges himself on a rival by publishing .his marriage under the head of "Crimes and Casualties." "We've got lots o' men with towercn in tellex and brillycht genius and all that, but, then, you see, we need just a few more men of goo J common sense like. A cute young wife says: "When 1 want a nice snug day all to myself, 1 tell George, at breakfast, that dear mother is coming, and then I see nothing of him till ten or eleven o'clock in the evening." A little boy,alter watchingthc burning of the school hou.-e until the novelty ofihe thing had cased, started down the street saying : "I am glad tho old thing has burn ed down ; I didn't have niyjogfry lesson, no how."

Even so, Sorosis, The manager- of a New Hampshire cattle show made a great, success of it, by causing it to be whispered around that the Congressional nominations would be ifrttled among the wire-pullers during the fair. This brought out all the aspi rants for the nominations, which made an unusually large attendance, and sc. cured liberal subscriptions. A beautiful young lady having called out an ugly gentleman to dance with her ho was astonished nt the condescension, and believing that she was in love with him, in a very pressing manner desired to know why she had selected him from the re*t of the company. "Because, sir replied the lady, "my. husband comman ded me to select such a partner as shot Id not give him cause for jealousy." Palmetto Orphan Home.
