THE 0RANGEBU11G TIMES. Orangoourg, S. C, July 3, 1872. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE COUNTY. -? -\ ?? '-.-. i<f- ; ?- ' ? ?I. ' ?* .-? J. S. HEY WAItD, Editor. i ! film ' i ?? Heiiceif?rttt.; all Legal Ad vertisements, of County In tor est, whethei* notices or others, will be publish ed ibr the benefit of our readers whether they are paidtfor, or not._ Before our next issue comes out, the South will have laid out for her the path that her chosen men shall think most proper for her to pursue?the Convention will have met in Baltimore nnd decided for us the most feasible plan for us to work for political redemption. Every thing: seems to, point out that if the Cin cinnati nominations are not actively, they will at least passively be endorsed : and we hope that the former course will be adopted. For the first time since the war the North:has extended toward the South an invitation for cooperation and it is our duty to ourselves 'and those dependent npoii ns that we should accept in the ?pirit of honest and earnest patiiots the band pf fellowship. Hitherto our light for salvation has been as that of the un aided and disarmed prisoner, bound in the chains of social and political disfran chisemcnt against the headless and un curbed scoffs of sectional malignity and political power,. Now dawns the day of our redcnip?on. Ijet 113 not come to the day's work encumbered with old preju dices. We can not carry them. If the people of the North can cast aside the natural and almost legitimato arrogance of the victor, there surely can bo servility ascribed to such action on our part as recognises the change which has been wrought in the political situation of our common country. If our slaves are all emancipated then i 1 slavery indeed and in truth dead?if negroeS are enfranchised, then indeed and in truth can colored men vote. These arc accomplished facts which it w>re more manly to accept and deal with as facts than longer to mutter "it should not lie thus.*' If the supremacy of the national Union has been established through our inabil ity to have it otherwise decreed, what, good can come of our muttcrings that "we would not have it so." We have 110 longer the privilege of a choice. The facts arc these and are we not men cnoii"h to admit them nnd bravely bear thein as we do all the other responsibilities of t his life? Are the men of the South, who before this sad reverse took bold upon ns even our very vitals, claimed civilization, enlightenment second to none, and to whom they were conceded, prepared to risk opportunity alter opportunity to the redemption of themselves and their land on adherence to the faith of an era that is past? God forbid! And is not this simple burial of defunct questions all that is requested of us? Surely this is all. And if, as we may call it. a straight .dem ocratic ticket is nominated?that is of men who are known to have been life Jong democrats?would they open the campaign by claiming the right of scees fion and the existence of Slavery ? Surely no*. And why should an) democrat with hold his vote from Grcclcy ; particularly when his antagonist is the exponent of Radicalism Grant, who devoid of one clement of statesmanship displays but rue motive, self aggrandizement, und hut one sentiment--~n never sated greed for nil he can got nnd all he can't get? To ns the affiliation of political parties on an issue so vital as this is no more (lescr UOn of erred than the association of vari ous religions denominations for (ho sup. porting one pastor comfortably in pre ference to starving too or three ; or the association of various political creeds in one masonic lodge. In cither rase a par amount duty calls into subservience all minor distinctions ; andjf over there was duty ho paramount, it is this: it is this? no longer to linger, but enter dispassion ately upon this duty of the redemption of all who feel a common cause with the South, whether lie bails from North or South and be black or white, radical, republican or democrat. "We publish by reruns', for the benefit of our renders who take pleasure ?n gun nnd lin^, the text of what is called the game law passed by our last Legislature. It prohibits all hunting of deer between December and September, under a penal ty of twenty dollars; and under a like penalty protects the fish nurseries of such private individuals only as post written notifications, that they propose raising fish thevcin. This protection holds good at all times of the year. We publish also an Act prohibiting under penalty of one hundred dollars the use by planters of private checks in set tling with laborers. While upon legislative deeds we would call attention of all parties taking out license, to the text of the enacted licensed swindle entitled an "Act to provide for a general license law," which prescribes the duty of the Auditor to be the issuing of a single lieehse which shall be good from the date of issue to the first day of April next thereafter. In this whole town we have seen but one license issued in conformity to the law, a?*d we wouldj.advisc our friends who ard now taking out their licenses to have them made out to read "until tho first day of April lS7i>;" bear ing in mind that if they have paid one fee of twenty five cents to the Auditor, it is all that the law allows him for licensing you during the whole year. What right the County Auditors (we believe the practice is the same throughout the State as here) had to buy four times the neces sary amount of cardboard for the State and have four times the am out of print ing done and issue quarterly license with out law, we can not see, unless it, w:is a Columbia job for the benefit of the State Auditor <fc Co. lie that as it may, the citizens here nerd not have illegal licen ses nor need they pay Van Tassel one dollar for twenty five cents fee. Remem ber twenty five cent entitles you to Rad ical grease for your mach i no until next April, no matter how they package it. For the Onuigeburg Tim Kg. A FINE DAY. Messrs. Editors: Doubtless the many intelligent readers of your valuable pa per, who are looking forward to our coun try's redemption, which must grow out of the rising generation, would hail with joy any intelligence concerning the education al interests of our country. It was the for tune of the writer of this article to attend the closing exercises of the interesting school of Mr. Hugo Sheridan, on Friday, the 2-Sth of June, at Haiglor'a Academy. At 10 o'clock, the exercises were open ed with prayer, when Mr. Sheridan im mediately proceeded to the examination of pupils. This was done in a manner which could not fail to please every one riendly to tin; cause. A more rigid ex amination we never witnessed. Without a hesitation and scarce a mistake, the lit tle ones, as well as the larger ones, pass ed through the ordeal with honor to them selves and credit to their teacher. And when we remenbor that there was no special preparation for the occasion, we are forced to the conviction, that Mr. Sheridan has happily chosen his proper calling. The hour having now arrived, when another set of exercises was to be witnessed, wo left the stand under which we had been seated for three hours, and with the brilliant crowd, moved towards I a rising smoke, about 200 yards distant, whieb filled the air with the perfume of roasting viands. Here we found a long (able groaning under a load of good eat ing, (we love, good eating) with nil the substantiate and delicac ies of the season ; before which we stood, each man to help himself. We, however, being a compnri tive stranger in the large crowd, did not feel inclined to "push;" but sticking close to our good friend, Dr. Summers ( who declared he would "seo us out,") wc pass ed through the crowd without, difficulty. Feeling satisfied that we had done our duty to the friendly board, we started for more water; and quailing a glass of lem onade without the lemon and sugar, wc took n farewell look back at the shining bo ml. Over the shoulders of those of a littlo shorter stature than ourself, we glanced the good doctor sti'l bending over a dish filled towthc brim with kid, mutton, rice, beans, pickles, &e., &c., wc thought. The doctor saw us through, but we can't spare the 'line and patience to see him through. We therefore re turned to the stand in lime to procure a good scat, that wo might enjoy the "fun" that was behind. After dinner had been cleared up and all things in their right place-:, the entertainment of the af ternoon commenced. Speeches, inter sperscd with dialogue's and plays, which were truly amusing, were the next in or der. The following is the programme; Extracts, by Masters Hugo .Sheridan, Harmon Buir, James Bot bet t, 11. Smith, Thos. Haiglcr, Eddie Gri er, Tarleton Jordan, Mr. J. II. BtOudemire, and James L. Sheridan; after which came two original speeches by Wm. L. Glaze, subject, Education ; and G. Whilficld Wells, subject, Our Government as it now is." The speakers all acquitted themselves well, especially the two bust. One holding tip the vital importance of education, in order to good and salutary government and morals; the other with much grace and fine diction, portraying the wretchedness and ruin of that gov ernment whose laws arc framed by ig norance and corruption. We conclude by congratulating Mr. Sheridan and his pupils on a complete success. SPECTATOR. Bowk's Pump, Juno 2?th, 1882. Mr Editor:?Our Township, in com mon with others in ihe County, hold a meeting on Saturday the 29th, to assess the School Tax for the coining year.? The meeting was largely attended?col ored prcpondering. We were called to order by Vandy Bowman Bowman (col ored), School Trustee, who told us the object of the meeting. A. F. Browning, Esq , was elected chairman', but declined in favor of Col. D. R. Barton. The meeting, however, selected Mr. Browning who assumed the chair. Mr. William L. Wolfe wus'tft^P^ ted Secretary. The question of schools was discussed generally, and the school tax particularly. The sum of two mills on the dollar was proposed and advoca ted. An amendment of one and a half mills was offered. Quite a disci;.-..-ion ensued during which Col. Barton made some effective remarks in favor of the lower assessment. The chairman was requested to give his views. He ex pressed himself in favor of the one mill and a half '.ax. The higher assessment was, however, advised, and two mills will be our school tax. A political meeting was afterward had, at which speeches were made by Vandy Bosnian, and others. Tho for mer pitched into the ring heavily, par ticularly tiring upon J. Fehler Meyers, saying that the party wanted a change of officials und certainly wanted no dis honest man or one presented by t!i? Grand Jury. Messrs. Biggs and Mey ers wore present. Mr. Biggs spoke for himself, but Mr. Meyers refused. Af terwards the white citizens present re quested Mr. A. F. Browning to fcpeak, which he did, firing the first shot for Greeley in this County, and forcibly and eloquently urging his election. His re- j marks were well received, but t:ie ma jority of that meeting were for Grant, we take it for granted. X. - ?i? i? ? ? ? ??
