her bounty furuish her with food in the
days of her poverty ? He his not
applied his understanding ti search out
and know the reason of things, nor acts
wisely, who neglects the instructive
lessons of science, confirmed by expo
rienoo. Look at the farm of him who
advances bot with the Ovaren of improve

who is a loader among his follows, and
mark the results. All tho hopes of the

doomed to disappointment when tho
autumn- onmes, tho deluded man attri

Behold bis neighbor, who in tho morn

withholds not his hand?who observes
uot the wind wheu he sows nor regards
the clouds when he reaps, who for times
and seasons trusts to Him who gives and
regulates thorn. His hopes germinate
with his seed and ripen with the full
harvest. It wilt not be thought indeli
cate in this connection to refer to your

by tho public voice, wears the crown of
a buuofaotor, who has tuado the old Gelds
fruitful, and whose barns are burdened
with golden shears. Follow his precept
and example and that of our enterpris

etidud you too will rejoice in the bouu
tiful rewards of industry and intelligence.
Of all med, uonu dispense their knowl

him it is a luxury to dc* good.
It ?s with diffidence that I have dwelt
on these things, a kuowlodge of which
others all aronnj mo possess in such

refer to other topics that deserve your

should be applauded and his enterprise
encouraged. ?
If the progross ic the use arid applica

of T. C. Andretot a Certainty.
Last Saturday was a gala day in
Orangeburg. There wore onO or two
gatherings of different associations, aud
the streets were alive with people from
all parts of this flourishing county.
What particularly interested us was the
graud mass meeting that was advertised
to take place to ratify th* unanimous
nomination of Judge T. 0. Andrews for
Senator in the place of the Hon. James
h. Jamison, desesssd. It was t*id that
this wr-nld r e one of fhp !srg*?t /athsr
ings ever li.nl in that county and that
Severn] prominent Speakers would ad
dress the people. Nor was that repov?
very far wrong. From the e.arlist dawu,
the people began to crowd io, on the.
train, on ftot'and in e*ery doscription
of vehicle the buinan imagination can
conceive.
The trionds of Judge Andrews had
taken every measure to entertaiu the
Republican hosts, and were only dis
appointed in the band, which had been
engnged in Columbia, failing to come to
time. The meeting numbered about
2.500 or ft.0f>f>, and was called to order
promptly st the hour of ten, and organi
sed by the election of Richard R. Dun
cftn, one of the ofd war horses of Orangc
burg, as president, ahd John L. Hum
bert, a prominent and popular young
lawyer, as secretary. I'pon taking the
chair, Mr. Duncan addressed the meet
ing in a speech which was characterized
all through with a great deal of sound
sSusc, and nt-wirnes with much earnest
ness and eloquence/
The speech of the president of the
meeting was well received sod loudly
cheered throughout, and evidently put
the crowd in most excolhitrt spirit.
Mr. Humbert also made a few ap
prspriato 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. Mit diel, A. B.
Krrowlton, Jool Larkins. July Kmby,
S. I, Duncan, A J. Miuger and I*. 13.
-lonci.
During the absence of tl*e cotrymitt?>e
i Mr. John Phillips was invited to address
j the meeting, but While acknowledging
j the call, preferred to wait until another
! time. Mr. Phillips is on* of the -tauno h
farmers of the Pork and i:i locked upon
by the people as on* upn., whoru they
can alwaya rely. lie is one of tho most
effective stumpers in that ruction of the
.State.
In looking over the crowd we noticed
the lion. S. L. H?ge, IIhi. T. II Cookc,
L. C. Northrop, editor of Thr Cnion
Hernia, and all trie prominent politicians
j of Orangcburg county. Just at this
moment, Mr Benjamin Hyas. the ;:?
reprcssiblc ca'tvlidate, arrived with a I
barnl oT iiinaic. au.l bo nc ltmpo'iis by
way of banne?s, an<* with him was t'olo
uei Samuel Dickcrsno, of Chirle.iton,
and some others. 1 hfs croateJ inuo li
eonftt>icvr, when Mm Byns was called
up'jn to speak., lie was listened to
though theeffort; of the clriiVnn and
delivered hiuis-.;lf credjtnbly on au i.oei
si on where the rulc-> of the psrfy and
popularity of the regular imtnitice w ;ro
agii?u5t him. Of course it was tfot
expected to r?utty itntb? Weight in that
rjarty;
Judge I logo W.nr? nett Called ftn and
made the speech of that dty. His nc
count of the i?*nafors who htd been
elected fron? Orangeburg, whhh is his
old stamping ground, wae very apropos,
and his tribute to his ofd comrade in
arms, the Hon. R F. Riololp'i, were
tho most eloquent, chaste and touching
svrrtencos mtered that day in the cause
oi the Republican faith. The jud/e
then said that he bad long known Mr.
Andrews, the candidate of the regular
convention, aud had watched him clo-"*iy
for many yean*, auxl that he never knew
a innre upright, straightforward and
sincere Republican or eno more worthy
of the coutkittiic? of the people. The
speaker paid his respects to the opposi
'.ion candidate in a style th.r pleaded
the crowd all over, and if ever Mr. By a*
hud the ghost of u chance in this con
test, Judge H?ge buried tint ghost for
ever in his speech. He warned the
people that the party would violate all
it a laws and split., (Vit some fine morn
ing they would wake up and find that
they had elrcted a U tuocrst as the
re-ult oi Mr. By ass < .'position to the
regular nominee.
The neat speaker was Mr. KcICiulay,
the school commissioner, aud one of 'he
candidate*before the convention This
speaker defended his record and pl-sdged
hituseif to rote and work for the uleotiou
of Judge Andrews as the regular nomi
uee, aud eXpronsail the belief that tho
people never would regret the unaui
maus vote they had giveu Judgo Au
drewsiu the convention.
Then came Mr. John Phillips, who
pitched into Mr. Byas without, glove
and said that ho had sacrictied th.-.
people the last election and would do it
agaiu , that he had brought banuers and
music to deceive them, ami had tried to
ridicule und degrade tho colored man by
pictures representing him in all sorts of
mean and low conditions, and had ttiud
l\ fool them on tho question oi color
when that question was dead in O.ange
burg. Mr. Phillips was often cheered
and made a very effective effort. There
were several other speakers called on.
but the people were anxious to strength
mi the inner man, aud the meeting was
adjourned until aflur dinner. The on
tire assembly thou moved to the tables,
which were about a half a mile in rear
of tho stand, aud were covered with
beef, mutton, bread and som?"strong
water."
The barbeeoe wia -jnt**n np by the
nominee and bis friends and in a stylo
far belter thai* moat of thcue which this
reporter has attended in 6ae vario*
political cumpa'u^oa^ 'niere**4was :
abuudanoe ,fur all, and the most ords
spirit, with nr. evident sm.ae of general
(satisfaction, prevailed throughout the
scene.
When all were filled, the Stand was
again .occupied, aud Lieutenant Colonel
Saui. Dickersoo, who hud couie up with
the independent candidate, went iu
strung to the support of the regular
nominee. Tbo meeting finally adjourned
with great enthusiasm, satisfied that
there was but. one way lor an honest
Kcpublicitu to do, and that was to vote
