The analogy is elsar and the logical con

your labny will be iu vain. Tho nature
and the value of t he various forlilizsrs
and their application to the different

will give yon the results of the old aud
now mnlhodb of tillage.
A century ago, Kng'?nd produoed
IG.000.000 bushels of wheat annually
.Since 1837 bhe has expended i 150,000,
000 iu bone fertilliztrs, and now bhe
produces annually 1,000,000,000 bush
els of wheat. Look at (hat picture then
at this. Thij is a practical truth, tho
)ngio of faets, and should ind-uco you to
follow iu the ideps of a country that, by
an et lightonod husbaudry, has made
Albion a garden. Yes, such oulturo
will mako the wildcrnnss blossom ns
the ream JMaut lean, manure more, add
the pibulum of life to your cxhanvtod

harvest greater. Besides commercial

fully has u kiud Providence provided
for ?I! our wants, and yet we will not
enjoy her rich gifts, although at our
doors. 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 his not
applied bis understanding to search out
nnd know the reason of things, nor acts
windy, who neglects the instructive
lessons of science, confirmed by expo
rienoo. Look at the farm of htm who
advances Cot with th?? ovnrc? of iorprove
nunt, and then turn to bis ntighbor,
who is a loader among his follows, and
mark the results. All the hopes of the
foitner, cherished in early ppriug, are
doomwl to disappointment when the
authmtr comes; the deluded man attri
buting his failure to the unpropitious
seasons, forgetting thnttbe rain au? the
sun shine arc to the just and tht> unjust.
Behold bis neighbor, who in the morn
ing sows his seed and in tho evening
withholds not his hand?who observes
not the wind when he sows nor regards
the clouds when he reaps, who for times
and seasons trusts to Him who give* and
regulates thorn. His hopes germinate
with his seed and ripen with the full
harvest. It will not bo thought indeli
cate in this connection to refer to your
successful aud intelligent president, who
by tho public voice, wears the crown of
a buuaiactor, who baa made the old fields
fruitful, and whose barns are burdened
with golden sheafs. Follow bis precept
aud example and that ef our enterpris
ing citizens, and when the summer is
ended you too will rejoice irr thebouu
til'ul towards of industry aud intelligence.
Of all men, uouc dispense their knowl
edge more freely than the farmer; with
bim it is a luxury to de* good.
It is with diffidence that I have dwelt
on the.se things, a knowledge of which
others all aroanj me possess in such
large measure. But allow ure briefly to
refer to other topics that deserve your
consideration. Is it wiso to appropri
ate so many broad acres to the cultiva
tion of cotton ? Or, which ban equiva
I lent inquiry, can tbc planter prosper
who purchases his corn in Biltimore
and bis bicon in Cincinnati ! For it
you do not make it, to that it must come
at &tt. Such br?*ad and meat come to
you loaded with expen?e of transporta
tion, commissions, and the >>>erchaut'a
profits. Can yon atook your farm if
you buy yottr grain ? I submit these
queries to your de eis ion.

One of your worthy directors is a ptHlnoor
' in this branch of industry, and his efforts
ehould be applauded and his enterprise
encouraged. ?
If the progress in the use and applies,;
?ion- of we owes has been rapid and reno
vating, there alte other causes contribu
ting to the iocteased productions of our
lands. The mechanic, by his artistic
shilK is your benef'wetor by the invention
of ui.w and* the improvement of old im
plements in every department of indus
try. Within a few years tho number
! of labor-wring machines would tax
r your crcttortily. These innovations have
occurred wirhio the life of many here
present, whose memory can touch both
periods. Fifty ye.irs ago the shovul
plough and bull tongue were tho only
instruments u?e*d to break the soil for
tillage?even the sweep- Wae a notehy .
Now the number of implements used in
planting the seed, cultiw.'ing the crop
j and gathering it, is legiou.
j If you do not enjoy these boaeCta,
you are only bull' a farmer. If you
would keep up with the age i i which
you live, you must read, think and
Confer freely among yourselves. I will
notdwellon these things. Oue short
essay from your president would super
sede my crude suggestions. There is
one more top:c that deserves -\ few words
not only because it "rs tbo occasion of
your -.neeting, hut because your hearts
are in it. It is this Fair building which
you ha\e commenced, and these spaoiou*
grounds which I know you will embel
lish. What hjfi been achieved by tho
labor, ?kill und enterprise of both sexes
in all the departments of industry will
fill your halls, exciting a generous com
petition. The fnrraer will come with
bis appropriate offerings, those rich pro
duct? which impart life to commerce
and manufacture*. The mccrnnio will
point with Prirrtnph to his miglsty
achievements?what his head has oon
ccived and hi.s hands have executed.
The merchant will exhibit your raw
' iuateri.ll wrought into rich fabrics by
the elilful hands of the artisan. The
schoolmaster will be there proclaiming
that learning han accomplished all these
I thing, and admonishing you to odueato
I your children. They all will freely in
| terohange their ideas, and eommunioa te
and rewire instruction
YYorunn, tjhc- bright ornament of your
bouse will eoltbe tu light up your hnll
with her amirVs and to adorn it with the
pToduotlons ot ' her skilful hands, exalting
emulsion wit' -out the jealouiy that em
bittern it. If ehe cannot share with you
the toils of th< j field, when with the sun
you close you r labors, she can make you
forget the heist aud burden of the day.
Wbilcyourl hands direct the plough,
hers will contribute to increase your
store. -Withwut woman there is no
home; witho? t her your annutl fairs

Among yot irselves, let your rivalry
be that of a I motherhood, advancing not
only your km n prosperity, but that of
your neighbc r. Let your competition
be without st rife, and all your pleasures
will be withr >ut alloy. Then will every

of T. C. Andrew? a Certainty.
Last Saturday was* a gala day in
Orangeburg. There wore oue or two
gatherings of different associations, and
the streets wore alive with people from
all parts of this flourishing county.
What particularly interested us was the
grand mass meeting thai was advertised
to take place to ratify the unanimous
nomination of Judge T. C. Andrews for
Senator in the place of the Hon. James
Ii. Jarotsnn, deeesasrl. It Was said that
this wrrtld re on? of the Isfge.t /*.th*r
ings over had in that county aod (hat
several promineut speakers would ad
dress the pt-ople. Nor was that report
veiy far wrong. If row the earlist dawu,
the people began to crowd in, on the
train, on fwt and in every description
of vehicle the bun,no imagination can
conceive.
Tho Iriendfl of Judge Andrews had
tnken every measure to entertain the
Republican hosts, nnd 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 and was called to order
promptly at the hour of ten, and organi
zed by the election of Richard R. Dun
can, ofte of the old war horses of Orange
burg, as president, and John L. Hum*
beft, a prominent and popular young
lawyer, as secretary. I'pon faking the
chair, Mr. Duncan addressed the meet
ing in a speech which was characterized
all through with a great deal of sound
sense, and ntfeiiries w?th much earnest
ness and eloquence*
The speech of the president of the
meeting was well received and loudly
cheered throughout and oridrntly put
the crowd in ni"St excellent spirit.
Mr. Humbert also made a few ap
prapriatu remarks, and tho meeting
proceeded to business by appointing a
committee of seven on the permanent,
organization and speakers. The com
mittee consisted of J. J. Mitihel, A. Ii.
Know I toft, Joel Larkins. July Kmby.
S. I, Duncan, A J. Minger and f\ K.
j -lone*.
j Dpring the abac tree of fife rhuwtwittee
i .Mr. John Phillips was invited to address
j the meeting, but While acknowledging
j the call, preferred to wjtt untii another
! time. Mr. Phillips is ona of the statine h
farmers of the Kork and is looked upm
by the people n.-< one upo.? whom they
ean always rely. He* is one of tho most
effective stumpers in that section of the
.State.
In looking over the crowd we" noticed
the Hon. S h. Hogc.H Mi. T U Coo&o,
\j. C. Noiihrop. editor of The ("/(.?>-<
Ileraln, and all the prominent politicians
of Orattgcburg county. Just at this
moment. Mr Benjamin Byus, the ir
reprcstdblc raruTidate, arrived With a
I band of music, an i Bo'nc ltm-po<n* by
I way of banneis, ami with hi-n wa* t'?du
i uel Samoel Dickcrsoo, of Ch-rlc.-ton,
and some others. Th/s croated much
confusion/, when Mr-. Byua wa? called
upon to .?peak. lie w is listened to
though the eCfortj oftha chi'rnn m l
delivered himself creditably on an occt
sion where the ru!c-> of the P??ty and
popularity of the regular nominee were
aga'fnst bflh. Of course iS was r?ot
cxp'jcJcd to rtarry iinr-on weight in that
partyi
Judge Hugo W.T? ucXt Called on and
inaile the speech of th?" dty. His ae
count of the Senators who lud been
elected fron? Orangeburg, whieh ia his
old st imping ground, wae rery npropot,
and his tribute to his old comrade in
arms, tho Hon. B K. Rmlodp't, were
tho most eloquent, chaste and touching
.jvfttcneoft uttered that day in the cause
of the Republican laith. The jud^e
then said that he had Jong known Mr.
Andrews, the candidate of the regular
convention, aud had watched him closely
lor many years-, aod that he never knew
a innre upright, straightforward and
sincere Republican or euo uiora worthy
of the contkleiiee of the people. The
speaker paid bis respects to the opposi
lion candidate in a style that pleased
the crowd all over, and if ever .Mr. By.i?
huu the ghost of a chance in this con
test, Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for
ever in his speech. Ho warned the
people that the party would violate all
its laws and split, that some lino morn
ing they would wake up and find that
they had elected a democrat as the
result 01 Mr. Byas'a opposition to the
regular nominee.
The neat speaker was Mr. Kclviutay,
the school commissioner, and ouo of the
candidates before the convention This
speaker defended hi.-t record and pledged
himself to vote and work for the cleotiou
of .Judge Andrews is the regular nomi
nee, and expressed the belief that the
people, never would regret the unaui
uious vote they had given Judge Au
drewrin thn convention.
Then cams Mr. John Phillips, who
pitched into Mr. Byas without, glove.,
and said that ho hud sacrictjed ih.
people the last election and would do it
again , that he had brought banners and
music to deceive them, and bad tried to
ridicule aud degrade the colored man by
pictures representing him in all sorts ot
mean nnd low conditions, and hud hied
to, fool them on the question oi color
when that question was dead in O.snge
burg. Mr. Phillips was often cheered
and made a very eUeetivo effort. There
wero several other speakers called on,
but the people were anxious to strength
uu tho inner man, und the meeting was
adjourned until after dinner. The en
tire assembly- thou moved to the tables,
which wero about a half a mile in rear
of the stand, and wer? covered with
beef, urn;ton, bread and nonx* "strong
waier."

reporter hm attended in the various
political campaigns. There-i was an
abuudanoe , for all, and the moat orderly
spirit, with an evident sui.he of general
satisfaction, prcrailcd throughout the
sceue.
When nil were Glied, the stand was
again .occupied, and Lieutenant Colonel
Saui. Diclerson, who had come up with
the independent candidate, went in
strong to the support oF the regular
num.uee. The meeting finally adjourned
with great eut busies ui, satisfied that
there wus but. one way lor an honest
