Tho animal mooting of tlio Survivors' Association of Orr's Rogimont of Hilles met in Seneca la3t week. Thia regiment was tho Hist ono en listed in our State "for three years or the war," and it was named after James L. Orr, its first commander. Tho regl moots organized whou tho war began wore sworn in for only twelve months. When Orr's Regiment was raised tho romaneo of tho war had disappeared and all who enlisted then know that there was bloody work in storo for thom. Going to tho war was no frolic at that timo. A majority who enlisted woro settled and serious minded mon. Sandy Springs, in Anderson county, was tho lirst camp of instruction. Tho annual meetings have been hold at that place for twenty-fivo years. Tho chango to Seneca was made hist year becauso of tho dilapidated condition of tho old touts on tho grounds. Tho Association was formed nt Ander son in 187:5, when a largo number of sur vivors assembled to attend tho funci al of Col. James I.. Orr, who died in St. rotors burg, Russia. Tho body was brought li?me and many of tho regiment attended tho funeral as a mark of respect to tho memory of their first commander. Tho next meeting was in Walhalla July 21st, 1875, and after that tho annual meetings wore hold at tho old campground. Noxt year tho meeting will bo at Sandy Springs. Although tho hospitality of (bo pooplo of Seneca was unbounded and thoir wolcomo most hearty, th ero s omcd to bo something lacking among tho old soldiers and they did not feel ex actly at homo. So, on motion of lt. Y. II. Lowery, ibo resolution adopted last year to moot at Seneca, Anderson and Abbeville, was reconsidered and the old plan of mooting at Sandy Springs rovivod and adopted. This action was bl cpi rod by a desire to got back to tho old camp around which so many fond memories cluster. Tho custom at those annual meetings has been to camp out tho first night and lhere was no departure from this last week, Tho mooting was held in tho old fair grounds, about a milo from tho business part of the town. A number of substantial buildings aro on tho ground. They were, cleaned and swept out. Loads of frosh st raw were hauled in ami tho U'round Hoot" of tho sleeping apartment covered SO as to make comfortable and jasy beds. The veterans hogan to como in by four o'clock on the afternoon of , August I Ith, and wont out to the camp ground. When night came on at least io von ty-five veterans wore present, sit ting around tho camp-tires, recalling tho l?ast and lighting over tho haltlos of tho war again. It was evident that tho old , soldiers still know how to make coffee, for a delightful aroma hung over tho ?ami?. Tho Association was called to order at J ton A.

Tho present ono is different from nil predecessors, and is being fought ou new lines. Senator Tillman is the central figure; maiming, metaphorically speaking, with a Biblo in ono bund and a whiskey bottle hem ing tho coat of arms of South Caro lina and stumped "ohemioally pure," in tho other, ho invites tho populaco to drink and quotes scripture to provo that to uso liquor is not considered immoral in tho Biblo except in Habakkuk, which ho declares to bo "obsolete;" aroundht/b tho samo "wool hat boys" of 1800 and 1802 aro applauding lita sharp thrusts nt tho ministers; others of his moro seri ous followers aro moro silont; still oth ers havo openly turned and aro speaking agnitrst him, while from a bundi od pul pits pours such a stream o' denunciation as lins nevor before boon turned simulta neously upon tho moat ovil works of tho Satanic majesty. With scathing tongue and hitter pon tho proaohors of almost ovory denomination, particularly tho Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians, havo drawn tho lino of excommunication around tho porson of tho portly Senator. Tho gubernatorial contest is tho issue, tho quest ion being dispensary or prohi bition. Even tho twolvo cousocutivo days whon tho avorago maximum tom poraturo was 100 degrees in tho shade, could not koop tho Senator off tho stand; indeed, with tho continued boat ho be came moro warm in tho uso ol' language and it is a question whether tho minis tors kept paco with tho Senator's vocabu lary. Up-to-dato, howovor, thoy aro doing fairly well and tho indications aro that thoy will not ho outclasBod. Among other things Senator Tillman dcolared in his spoechos that "of all things I bato it is tho hypocrite, and I would not swap places to-day with any jf tho proaohors for my own chances in Lho next world." Ho has done moro, ho declares, for tho morals of tho peoplo of South Carolina dian all tho proachors put togothor. "The preachers and tho old har-koop jrs havo formed an unholy allianco to break down tho dispensary. Tho proacli >rs may bo honest, but thoy aro weak in Llio upper story (tapping his head.) They 10 not know." Ile accused somo preachers of distort ing their text? in ordor to show that liquor was condemned in tho Bible; ho aion quotes Paul's ndvico to Timothy to tako wino. Solomon, ho declared, had 11 von tho samo advico; while tho i ti - dances of good men Uko Lot and Noah laving got drunk without reproof or ninishmcnt aro cited to show that Irunkenness was not considered a sin. The miracle of water being turned into wine by Jesus has been repeatedly re ferred to as proof, furnished by tho New Testament, of tho Senator's contentions. Ministers of tho gospel wero allitera tive in their attacks on his cause, the Senator said, and ho might retaliate by >aying somo peoplo attributed "I). I)." Lo stand for "Damned Dovils." Peoplo had threatened to scratch his mime from tho ticket, ho said, and ho in vited thom to do so, declared that al though ho had no opposition for rc-olec Lion to tho Senate, lie would not accept tho office if ho did not rcceivo a majority af tlie votes east. Ho said he expected to make 20,000 new enemies by his can vass. But Senator Tillman has not hold the monopoly of tho talking. A hundred sermons and ns many letters to news papers might ho quoted from, hut hero uo a few samples: Hov. (i. W. Gardnor, D. D., editor of Lho South Carolina Baptist, has been a ?supporter and admirer of Senator Till man, and has kept, out of tho fight until this week, when ho attended a mooting ind heard tho Senator speak. Ile says : "It was an outrage and wc aro ashamed that South Carolina ha ?ich a man to represent her so destitute of reverence; ?> blasphemous. Ho is a far worse man than his most ardent enemies have ever branded him. Satan quoted Scripture lo UV Lord, but we do not boliovo his Satanic majesty is capable of handling (rod's word moro perversely or Irrovor an tl y than Senator Tillman. His advo cacy of tho liquor trafilo and endorse ment of tho drinking habit aro unworthy jf any man and could only emanate from r man who was lost to all noble purposes. If is a pity tho young mon of our coun try aro permitted to listen to such a man. But we must not bo sovero. Wo pity Ibis man. May God have mercy on his ?nil. Ile is led captivo at tho will of tho levil." Dr. C. S. Gardner, of Greenville, rofer ing to Tillman's statement that Habak kuk is obsoleto, says: "Habakkuk did lot live to see tho timo when a United States Senator would go about the ?Olintry preaching that tho liquor trafilo s a benevolent and moral institution. Ho is either a religious ignominious or a 'Oligious Impostor who trios to bolster ip liquor trafilo with tho Biblo." Kev. V. C. Hickson, of Cherokee ioutity, who attempted to interrogate (Milman on tho stand and was snubbed md "sawed olT," says: "Will tho poople follow Mr. Tillman or ,ho preachers and tho Bible? Tlioro vas a time whon they would follow Tillman; has that timo passed!' Tho '.ord grant that it has. But I want to ico my people, in Chorokoo, if you think dr. Tillman knows moro of tho Bible md of right, of how to live and how to lie, than I do lol him ho your pastor; ot him como to pray for you whon yon anno to die, let him preach your funor tls when you are dead. I do not. want to lo lt." I', IL Kuckor, of Columbia, says: 'With tears of grief, how often have I ?rayed, 'My God, change this man,' for ivhat a power ho could be, what a multi ude he could lead to a bright land. But Cphraim ls joined to his idols. Senator Tillman knows that he is on tho road to toll and is carrying a multitude with lim.
