sion were to adopt your plan of giving the
speeches Just as delivered. it would l?avc the
etl'ect of making some men occupying prominent
positions abandon the reprehensible
practice, too much in vogue at the present
time, of interspersing their speeches with
slang phrascsand common place expressions,
and in short would cau?ethein toniake better
and more instructive ami edifying speeches,
or if they were inudctptatcto t tie last, our people,
when calmly reading their speeches, unacconipauicd
by any of that excitement attending
their delivery, would be able t?? see
what miserable stulf they arc composed of,
how little of greatness there is in their authors
and how until they are to occupy the
high and dtguiticd positions which some of
them bv an inscrutable providence have been
called to till. In conclusion I would say thai
after reading carefully the speeches made on
the llth inst. I am more fully convinced than
ever that we ha vesome at least occupyiugpositions
where they might heof great service
to the country, that fail to exert any influence
for our good for the sole reason that they
lack the brains and dignity of character
which are an indispcnsible to that end. Congratulating

the increasing prosperity and popularity of
your interesting paper and assuring you that
so long as you maintain its present hightoued

A Magnificent Family llible.
The National Publishing Company of Philadelphia,
Chicago. St. bonis and Dayton are
doing a good work in this community by circulating
among our people their magnificent
IHcloiiat. J-'nmili/ llibtcx. This Is one of the
most superb editions we have ever seen. The
binding is elegant, tast< fill and substantial.
~-l- I- in tlx. In cf vll'1,1 l.llil
the paper is of the III)est quality.
Being determined that their Biblesslmll
not he surpassed i>y any other edition in
print, tiie publish) r- have added to it an
abridgment of I?r. William Smith's great
Dictionary of the Bible. This Is a complete
book In itself, and would make an octavo
volume of over six hundred iwiges. Its reputation
as tin? best Kil>le lUctionuiy is worldwide,
and each subscriber to tills Bible thus
obtains Hfrrr.
Another prominent feature Is n History of
All the Religions in nominations of the
World. These accourts are clear anil comprehensive,
and are full of valuable information.
The additional matter which accompanies
the books of the Bible covers a wide tanne ol
subjects and is exceedingly valuable. An accurate
ami detailed description of the Holy
I.and Is Riven, followed by an interesting description
of Jerusalem and Its sacred places.
The I.ife of the Saviour and the Lives of Ilia
Apostles are also id veil /it considerable
length, j'.nd in such a manner as to lie of
treat service to every reader of the Bible.
The Wanderings of the Israelites in the Wilderness
are related, and the Tabernacle and
Templearc described with great minuteness.
Another feature to which we would call particular
attention is a series of Scripture illustrations,
remarkable for Its completeness. It
embraces a series of comprehensive descriptions
of the Manners and Customs of the Nations
of the Ancient World, of Biblical Antiquities.
Scenery, Natural History, etc., etc.
Then follow a large number of chronological
and other valuable tables designed to promote
and facilitate the study of lh<? Sacred
Scriptures. These tables aro so numerous
that we have not space even to give their
names. So full and complete is the additional
matter of this mamiiliccnt edition of the
Scriptures, that the most careful student of
Clod's word, the most exacting seeker after
truth will find all his wants supplied in this
simile volume.
The book is mwrnlflcontly Illustrated. It
contains over tine engravings, many of
which are by thegrcat artist, Ciuslave Bore.
These engravings are genuine works of art.
otiil tilo. It. .it .?f ^'Jll UXt rr?l<?
great number ami high character of these engravings
make this the most valuable art
publication of the century.
Between the Apocrypha and tlie Now Testament
is a beautifully lithographed marriage
certificate, which makes this Bible an especially
appropriate wedding presonj. This is
followed uy a handsome Family Itccord, consisting
of four quarto pages, finely lithographed.
At the end of the volume is a photo*
graph album, with spaces for sixteen portraits.
These magnificent Family Bibles are supopior
to all others that wo have seen, in the
following respects:
They contain the largest and finest engravings!
They have the richest and most durable
bindings. They contain the finest paper
and the best printing. They are the cheapest
and most complete. and they sell faster than
any other Family Bibles.
; The National Publishing Company's Bibles
weigh from one to three pounds more than
any other Family Bibles published in the
! Fnited states. This is proof positive that
[ they are more solid and substantial than any
other Bibles. It proves that they are printed
on heavier paper, and bound with lieaviei
and more durable material. They are pub
lished in (ierrnan also.
We cordially commend this Bible to oui
readers, and hope it may find a place in evcrj
family. It is one of the best I-amily Bible:
ever published, and no home should be with
out it. The price is astonishingly low, ani
within the reach of all. It is solit by sub
scription only, and Maj. John F. Osborne
who is the authorized agent for this section
is now canvassing for it.

us his Irreverent application of quotations
from the llol.v Scriptures.
He was followed hy General Ilemphill,!
who spoke in pleasant terms of former asso{
ciatfons with thiit place and tiavi* some prollt-1
I aide political suggestions. He took theposi!
tioii that the trueobjeet of government, is to
j maintain morality, justice and peace, and
j the pre.-ent administration came up to the
full measure of its duty in this regard. He
referred to the duty of the-colored inert in
i this crisis and said they had made a mistake
just after the war in undertaking to govern
I the State which required the highest order of
i political talent instead of bending their energies
to the accumulation of the Jin-terlal
comforts <if life. He made i resort
to bar-room anecdotes, with wlilc entertain
his hearers.
It was now 1 o'clock. The dinnci hour
having arrived, l'rof. Hood announced the
fact, and till repaired to the tables where an
1 excellent barbecued dinner, sufficient fur all.
j was in readiness. The Professor requested
I the colored Democrats to tiide ilioir time. As
soon as the white Democrats would lintsli
'their dinner they should he invited to the
table. lie also gave the consoling luformation
that, carcasses lor them were over the'
lire- In t he pit which were unarded hy a liiiUi,
with a sun and bayonet. He would see that
no while Democrats got two dinners before
the colored J>< tnocrals were served once.
After partaking(,f (hegood things prepared
lor the dinner, the audience returned to
j the stand, when the i>and> discoursed
I more music. I'rof. Hood then made a speech
I in the interest of t he I me West hand, ami ofi
fered those present, sin opportunity to subj
scribe, to the amount of "their ability, for
buying instruments for the Hue \Ve>t young
' men. Half a dozen u>,ntlcinen were rei|nested
to pass through the audience and make!
collections. The result Is unknown to this
deponent, hut we will merely remark that It
was a fine lime to make appeals for money.
All had feasted well, and quests could not lie
j so uugallant as to refuse to give.
MaJ. W. K. lJradley, of Long fane, was
ne.\i introduced and spoke for an hour. He
! j wa*deeply interested in the welfare of the
,! fanner, u ho had nil the taxes t'> pay. He
j would abolish nun ssuy oiliees, and reduce
. I the salaries of all oilleers. lie wanted a Con*
I; siiIntioital Convention, to change our Slate
. I Constitution. He referred to iiis experience
.i wilh the colored people before and since
"1 their freedom, taking the ground that the
. former master is the true friend of the col.
i orcd man.
The speaking was closed by an admirable
. j address from I Ion. 1). \V. Aiken, 011 the sub1'
jeet of farming, and the power and influence
. j of education. l'n>lerthesliadow of the College
buildings we think a speech touching upon
'I education eminently pi >per. The political
' part of his speech was somewhat aficr the
fashion of his speech delivered at Abbeville
011 the Saturday previous, an abstract of
which we published last week.
We took lull notes of all the speeches and
could give them 1/1 cricnto, but we have concluded
to withhold them as we have so lately
f given our readers an overdose of iliat kind of
Is! There was nn unusually large numhrr of

OBITUARY.
DIED, at the residence of lier huslmnd
in this town on Thursday evening
last, l!)th September, 1878, SUSAN
CAROLINE, wife of Hen. S. MeUowan,
in the fortv-ninth year of herage. She
was the eldest of the seven daughters
of the late Judge D. L. Wardlaw, born
and reared in Abbeville, married here
January 2, 1851, and through all the vicissitudes
of the country for over twentyseven
years was the pride and sta^ of her
j husband and the ornament of her family.
< 'lit oil' in the zenith of life, surrounded
: by loving friends, and in the midst of
. her usefulness, words are but too cold to
express her virtues or the depth of sori
row for her loss. The mother of seven
children, four of them preceded her to the
grave. She leaves a numerous connection,
three surviving children, and a
' husband to mourn her irreparable loss.
I Verily in the midst of life we arc in
| death. 1\

THIS is one of the oldest Institutions
in the State. Its loeation is all that
could bo desired for health, intelligence
and morality. Its course of study is as
extensive as a thorough and accurate
knowledge of tho branches introduced
will allow. Tho aim of those in charge of
the Institution is to lay broadtmd deep tho
foundation on which the student himself
may build all his life. Wo feci sure its
work in this respect will compare favorably
with that of any of tho higher grade
Institutions of the State.
Expenses.
This Institution was founded in a spirit
of tho noblest benevolence. It was to
In rnlsh the advantages of a complete education
to many who had not sufficient
means to attend our more cxpensiveUnivetsities
and Colleges. This design has
never been lost sight of; and hence the
charges are so moderate that some say,
"This is too cheup to be good."
Aggregate expenses for tiie entire scholastic
