enjoy htr rich gift.-, although at our
doom. The earth is a mother kind to
all, and shall not those who partake of
her bounty furnish her with food in the
days of her poverty ? He has not
applied bis understanding to search out
and know the reason of things, nor acts
wisely, who neglects the instructive
lessons of science, confirmed by expe
rience. Look at the farm of htm who
advances not with tho orurcft of inrprove
m?nt, and the' *.:rn to his neighbor,
who is a Icadc. among his follows, and
mark the results. All tho hopes of the
former, cherished in early ppriug, are
doomed to dihnppoiutment when the
autumn comes; tho deluded man attri

seasons, forgetting that the rain and the
rum shine am to tho just and thv- unjust.
Behold hiH neighbor, who in tho morn
ing sows hid seed and in the evening
withholds not his hand?who observes
not the wind when he sows nor regards
the clouds when he reapd, who for times
and seasons trusts to Him who give* and
raguLtes thorn. His hopes germinate
with his ^eed and ripen with the full
harvodt. It will not be thought indeli
cate iu this connection to refer to your
successful and intelligent presidout, who
by the public voice, wears the crown of
a. biiuafactur, who has toad a the old fields

with golden sheafs. Follow his precept

ended you too will rejoice iu the bouu

Of all men, uoue dispense their knowl
edge more freely than the farmer; with
< him it is .t luxury to do good.
It w with diffidence that I have dwelt
on the?e things, a knowledge of which
others all aroanJ me possess in auch

refer to other topics that deserve your

Last Saturday was a gala day in
Orangsburg. There wore one or two
gatherings of different, associations, nnd
the streets wore alive with people from
ml parts of this nourishing county,
What patticuhtrly interested us wus the
graud mass meeting that WAS advertised
to take place to ratify the unanimous
nomination of Judge T. C. Audrews for
Rsuator in the place of the Hoc James
L. Jsroifon, deceased. It was Said that
t h '* wr?nM be one of fh* '?.*g?.t h?r
ings ''vor had iu that rounty and that
several promineut speakers would ad
dress the people. Nor was that report
very far wrnug From the earlist dawu,
the people began to crowd in, oo the
train, on fwt and in every description
of vehicle the human Imagination can
conceive.
Tho friends of Judge Andrew:, h.id
taken every measure to entertain the
Republican hosts, and were only dis
appointed iu the band, which had been
engaged in Columbia, failing to come to
time. The meeting numbered about
2,500 or JM'b-O. and was called to nrd-r
promptly at the hour of ten, ami organi
sed by the election of Richard R Dun
cr.n, one of the old war horses of Orange
burg, aK president, and John L. llum?
h*-rt, a prominent and popular young
lawyer, as secretary, I'pon taking the
(hair. Mr Duncan nddreoftcd the meet
ing in a speech which w is chnructerixod
all through with a gfeit deal ofsouud
sense, ami at*"tiuies with much earnest
nesa and eloquence/
The speech of the president of the
meeting was well received and loudly
cheered throughout, and evidently put
the crowd in most excellent, spirit.
Mr. Humbert also m.tdc a few ap
! prspriato remarks, and t!io meeting
i proceeded to business by appointing a
I committee of seven on the permanent
organization and speakers. The com
mittee consisted of J. .). Mit drei, A. Ii.
KnowIton, Joel Larking, duly Ktnby,
S. Ii Duncan. A -1 Minger and P. K.
?lone*.
I During the absence of the committee
I .Mr. John Phillips wasinvited to address
j the meeting, but while acknowledging
j the call, preferred to Wait until another
time. Mr. Phillips is ons of the staunc h
farmers of the Fork and is looked upm
by the people a: OOS up-n.? WliOltt they
oan always rely. He- is one of tho mo?t
effective stumpers in thnt section of Lite
.State.
In looking over the crowd we noticed
the Hon. SI.. lloge.H tu. T H ??oko,
Ii. C Northrop, editor of The. L'ttio'i
I Herald, and tuII the prominent politicians
of Orangeburg county. Just at this
moment, Mr Benjamin H\;is. tho ir
rcprcssiblc candidate, arrived with :?
h:iiul of" music, nu.l so nc limpO'iis by
way of banners, stud with hi-n wru- t'olu

and some others. Thin croalvJ tnuu It

count of the Senators ^vho h ?d been
elected from Orangeburg, which ia his
old stampiug ground, was rery npropm,
and his tribute to his old co*mr.tde in
arms, ihe (Ion H F. Rin-lolp't, were
tho most eloquent, chaste and touching
j*v fit ?neos uttered that day in the 9ause
of the Republican faith. Tho jud.je
then said that he had long known Mr.
Andrews, the candidate of the regular
convention, aud hau watched him closely
for many years', aod that he never knew
.1 more upright, straightforward and
sincere Republican or euo more worthy
of the contki?tiice of the people. The
speaker paid his re-'ptcts to the opposi
tiou caudidato i't a. style that pleased
tbu crowd a'.l over, ami if ever Mr. Byaa
huu the ghost of u ohmce iu this co t
test, .Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for
ever in his speech. He warned tho
people that the party would violate all
its laws and Split, Am some Quo morn
ing the} would wake up and hud that
they had elected a Democrat as tin
re-ult 01 Mr. Ryasa opposition to the
regular nominee.
Tho neat speaker was Mr. KcICinlay,
the school commissioner, and cue of the
candidate.? before the convention This
speaker defended his record and pledged
bimseil to zotc and work for the eleotiou
of Judge Andrews is the regular nomi
uee, ami expressed the belief that the
people never w -uld regret the unani
uious vote they had given Judge An
drew* in the convent ion.
Then came Mr. John Phillips, who
pitched tuto Mr. Byaa without, glovco
and said that ho had sacriufjed tha
people the last election and would do it
again ; that lit had brought banners and
music to deceive them, and had tried to
ridicule aud degrade the colored man by
pictures representing him in all sorts of
mean nnd luw conditions, and had liied
to# fool them on the question of color
when that question was dead iu O.ange
burg. Mr. Phillips was often cheered
and made a very effective effort. Theru
wcro several other speakers called on,
but the people were auxious ic strength
en the inner man, and tho meeting was
adjourned until alter dinner. The en
tits assembly ihoti moved to the tables,
whieh wore- about a half .a mile in rear
