The permanent organization of the convention wsb ?Mmplettd by the election of Hon John H Dukes, Vice Pre-ident, and Messrs. J. A. Berry and B E. Copes, Secretaries. A 1 of these g ntiemen were ehe ed by acolamat Ou. Rjbo. Lide, Sq., was reelected Chairman of tbe County Ex cutlve Committee and a member of tneatate Executive Committed by acclamation. He returned bis thanks for tbe honor conferred on him and said he would : do all be c <nld to advance the inter ests of ths Democracy. He paid a tribute to the fi dality of the Orange burg Democrats, who he said cast the olggest vote of any county in the Sbt** kt, the last general clco'Jon. Tain eomplecea tue routine business and the convention was ready to go iato tne consideration of other business. Hon. 1. W. Bowman intrucucsd a -hort preamble aid tome resolutions, which caus d some dlscussloD, ano brought aboui the only div sltn dur log toe meeting. The p:eamble an:. resolutions read as follows. Wherras, Hon. B :i j tmln R Till man, United States Senator from South Carolina, has by bis work in ?.bis Sta e, and by his course in con gress proven uimself the great expo uent of tne Democracy of ih.s S^aie, and. Whereas, By HI* fearless and con splcuous ability in the United State* Senate, the greatest deliberative body of the world, he has replaced Scuib Carolina among the i; adirg States of chls great Union, where slo properly oolongs, now, Re olved, By the Djm c *acy of 0 ? aogeburg Couity in convention as sembled, thai we, believing th3 S'ate D:spensary system to he the best so lutlon of the liquor q leation, do here oy endorse in tjto *.ae stand on tnat quss.ion taken by Soaator Ti lman Re&uived, That we enaorse tbr course of Senator Tillman in the Uaited Statt s Senate on rai road rate hill, and on every other question in congress, R solved, That we pledge him our support in the ensuing primary elec tion to succ&d himself as Uni ed States Senator. Mr. T M. Dantzler, of Providence, precipitated a warm discussion by moving to strike out the resolution referring to (he dispensary. Capt. J H. Fanning, of Spring field, moved that the whole preamble and resolutions be laid on the table. He said he was opposed to the conven tion telling the people what they must do as they were anply able to take care of the dispensary and all other questions without any tugges tlons ficm this convention. Dr. J. H Pice, of Limestone, seo onded Mr. D*ntzier's motion to sir ke out the resolutsten referring to the dispensary. Ha said he was not in fa vor of the convention passing on the dlspersary question, and though t'te people shoulu b? allowed to settle the matter in the primary, as it had been referred to tr em ty ti.e members of the legis ature. Col. D. O. Herbert made a strte ment in referei co to the position of the members of tbe legislature from this county on the dispen ary ques tion He said evary member of the delegation with the excepslon, of one voted every time for the dispensary, and did all they, could to pass the Raysor- Manning bid, whlon he thought would have gone a long way to purify the dispensary. He though' the convention h.da perfect right to pass the preamble and tesilutions, but such aotion, would not oind the iadividual voter, wao had the right to vote for or against tbe di pensary In the prlmiry as he saw tie rega d less of tbe action of the convention. Mr. T. M. Dantzler said he bad not made the motion to lay taereao ution oh tbe tab e out of hostility to S ma ator Tlilman, as he was a warm sup porter of tnat gentleman, and would dead he could to send him back to the Senate. His oopo*ltion was to tne disp nsary, aid he tojei thai th convent oo wouid agree with mm on tbe matter and kill the dispensary ref-o ution. Dr. Price and Capt FanniDg both agreed with Mr. Dantzler thai it was qo fight on Sena or Tillm in. Tney were opposed to the dispensary ar d did not toink the convention sh< u d pass cn the question in advance of tue people in the pilmary. The question was brought uoa vite by some one moving to lay Mr. Dm z er's motion on the table, which was dore by a vote of 96 to 25. The crl gleal preamble and resolutions as in troduced by the Hon. 1. W. B iwman was then passed by a Urge majority. The discussion of the matter was spirited but in the best Of human, not a ?vord belog said that any one could take the least exception to. T~e appo ints of the dispensary did not think tnat Senator Tillman had any busi ness to Interfere ii the dispensary fight, and that is the reason they ob jected to the passing of the resolution referring to the dispensary. A reso lution slcnpiy endorsing S nator Till man would have, we belie ve, passed witrout cppcs.tion. After tne resolutions had been dis posed of, the convention prooeeded to the election of t welve delegates to the State Convention, which meets in Co lumbia in a short time, with the fol lowing result: delegates.

The convention was very harmoni ous from begnning to eud, with the xceptlon of the division on the dis pensary question, and. that was dis posed 01 in the most courteous and pleasant manner. The opponents of the dispensary were badly beaten, but they took their defeat gracefully There was no sulking on their part. They had made a gallant fight against the dispensary and lost. Tnis ended the matter so far as the conven tlon was concerned. Two new clubs, Neeces and Murph's Mill, were reported and wa? represented in the convention, and one club, Willow S&raiffhtout, had gone out of business. Five or six olubs were unrepresented and some of the delegates eltoted to repres nt others failed to attend the conven tion. Notwithstanding these absentees, the Convention was a large represen tative body of our best citizenship, who have the welfare of the - county at heart. After being In session abiut two hours the conventitn ad j turned sine die. SENATOR TILLMAN ENDORSED. Also the State Dispensary and Primary by Tillman Cinb.

A very interesting meeting of the Orangeburg Cotton Growers Assooii tion was held in the Courthouse on Saturday. The meeting was oalled to order by President Waonamaker at eleven o'clock, and the association got light do?n to work at once. B 3fore taking up the regular order of business the president read a letter from Maj jr J 0. Hemphlll, editor of the News and Courier, saying it was impossible for him to attend the meet ing on account of pressing business that had called him away from home. The regret was general that Major Hemphlll ould not be present and ad dre33 the meeting as be bad been in vited to do. Mr. Geo. V7. Fairey, one of our most successful farmers, opened the hog and hominy discussion by giviog in a most ln*fi*?fci?jg r.nd practical way how he ma.'jagcj to make money out of bogs and other stock. Mr. Fairey does cot plant muct cotton, hut devotes n uoh of bis be -utiful farm near F rt Motte to grain and grass raining for bis itock. It is need'ess to say he is mak ing money. At the conclusion of Mr. Falre/'s 'excellent ta k, the presidmt Invited any one who wished to di.-cuss the subjects presented by Mr. Fairey to do bp. This invitation brcught out Messrs. J M. Holman, B R Griffi?h, REE 1 wards and ooners who give their experience along certain hues, which *added much interest to the mbjecti discussed. We have not spase to report what was said by any of these speakers, but it is a pity more farmers were not present to hear these Wk8. Drbf. Michaels, of Clemson College, was present and gave & very interest ing talk along the hog and homln> line. H8 agreed with Mr.' Fairey that it was b-, t to sell a ho; when be veighed about one huuored pounds (n feci he agreed pretty well wich all Mr. Fairey had said on the sub) >ct of aog raising. Tnls is not surprising, as Mr. Fairey is up-to-date, In bis methods. Prof. Hwper, also of Clemson Col lege, was present, and gave a most in* &er?stiog talk al-eg tbe sana- hue. He di civs jd the d If r^nt feed crons for hogs and other mreresMng surj'cis Me?srs. J. M. Moss, J. M Ribcr-soc, G L Sal ley and Dr J H. Price gave oheir experience in a very few words on pinders as a crop for hog raising. Prof. W. D Garrison, Superinten dent of the Coital Eiptrlment&l Sta don at Cm e?t)D, gave a most intir Bfcing ta k on aralfa. W-> *>isb ever* farm r 1. the couity cou'd have hi a d him. In nib opinion afalfa ib me o tbe most valuable crops a farmer can plant. He submitted figures whlon conclusively proved what ha Haid to our mind. Capt. J. A. Peterkln, President Wannamaker and others discussed afalfa a little. We thick It -vouid be well for our farmer* gener ally to give afalfa some considera-! tion. Tbe ass elation adj 'urned for din ner, and reassembled at t*iree o'clook to hear an address from Mr. E. Mc [ver Williamson on bis method of making corn. ? This was a most inter esting part of the meeting. Prof. Miobelas and Harper al o made short ialks on corn planting, selecting seed a d other matters pertaining to the makiDg of a g >od corn crop.
