KSu We are in no sray responsible for (he views or opinions of our Correspondents. THE CAMPAIGN. ft 13 generally admitted that the fall ?lections will be hotly contested by the the party in power. To them it is not the question of political interest, it is purely individual and collective gaiu to all who wear the badge of radical office. The dupes who raise them up are not a whit better off, on the con trary they are indirectly heavy losers, being obliged to bear their portion of the cost of such rule. All hinds of argument, specious and rigmarole will be used to induce them just once more to reinstate the party; Any erroneous impression will be thrown upon the Taxpayer's movement to invest it with treasonable intent. In reply to this, we inform any and all who claim a! right to know how the taxes are dis bursed, to enquire about the taxpayer's organization, and sec if it is not hon estly and purely nonpoliticul, and for the salvation of the State. The taxpay ers claim only what every one knows, that tho radical leaders now in power, and those seeking office, are short of the requisites to govern, namely hon esty and capacity. They are capable of but one thing, that is taking care of themselves. Who disputes this? Not their own press ; read the strictures on the rottennees of the government from every journal of the party. Not the northern press which has in quest of truth, sent here to sec, and writes eter nal disgrace in unmeasured denuncia tion. Not the colored people; at every corner they gather in knots and bandy names of defaulters as freely as any other flagrant occurrence. No proof is wanted to convict a horde of officers who have violated law at every point, and yet law is impotent to arrest the -ax^iyn*???^?^ ?^f'-r>a!>?ftOfl .Tiiflrrno l\f a.har Carpenter aud Mnekcy are all free to use the judicial chair to launch just denunciations where they apply, yet all is in vain. What then is our duty? plainly to watch the enemy, and at every point to block his gamo. If this is worth the effort, you may always find the Times open to communica tions. It is your business, and ours ; Hsnd us the notes,'faith we'll prent cm.' What we want is facts, we wintyour co-operation, your subscription, nnd your help. Tho Times is dependent alone upon the oppressed "Taxpayers'" and flying their ilug adopts Nelson's motto '.'Every man is expected to do his duty." [communicated.] Orakoebijrg, S. O., July 13,1874. Ma. Editor.?Atthemeetinglntely held for the purpose ef levying school tax for this township, one ol the school Trustees made statements which are not in accordance with the facts. The gentleman in his speech conveyed the idea to the public, that all the salaries due to teachers for the current year 1874, had been pnid, which is not the ease. Those who received part pay had to sell their claims at a grea* sac rifice, and the balance of claims they still hold. The fact is, not half of the money appropriated for school purposes has been paid. There is no doubt, however, as the gentleman stated, but that the money was applied to back ce-tificates, (of which he was a large holder,) and nothing left to pay teachers, conse quently ihey (the teachers) will have to hold their certificates until next year, or sell them as I cfore at less than half their face value. It has been stated, by a responsible party, that iu order to collect claims, (which have been purchased at half and less thaa half their real worth,) twety cents has to be allowed certain parties to get them cashed. Hence, it follows, that no one can get their money direct from the office. One who was buying claims as agent for another (for he had no money of his own,) boasted that he made $1.000 by the operation. Now if he made that amount, doubtless his principal msde twice as much. Some of these claims, uo doubt, are purchased with money from the Treas ury. j There is a- y<jry sttoogrpresaroptfbni that this Goimfy ??s been swindled out of ati Pcnet $150.000, (in tho last eight yenrs in various! rtnjn. Now, gentlemen of the Tax "Onions, do your duty. Evidence to convict somebody can he furnished by the bushel. Branch ville taxpayer hit the nai! on the head, but entirely too soft. Another Taxpayer. [communicated.] Jamison Torn Out,. S. C. July 4thy 1874. Mr. Editor?No doubt yeu? will think it presumptuous in me thus to* ask, tho admission of? few Uses im your worthy columns. But it im with a feeling of rovereuee,- and tin earnest desire to promote a deep and sincere interest in the Times throughout our land. I deem It the duty of every honest and energetic man of the county of Oraugeburg to support in every way possible the enlightening lines of this worthy sheet, and strive to advance its cause under all circumstances. This paper I would presume to say Mr. Editor is, through its honest forms and priciples, a democratic paper. Its columns are not always bowed beneath the delusive and shocking influence-! of politics, nor has it any marks what ever of contumacy. But guided by a true and honest principle, it endeavors to promote unity and prosperity among its many readers. I delight Mr. Editor to see the young men of our county take into their hands and under their charge, such occupa tions as were formerly avoided by older and more experienced men for fear of their incompetency. This Mr. Editor, I desire as a per sonal allusion to yourself. You have taken upon you the responsibility, both as proprietor aud editor of the Times. There arc many who will join me in saying, that you deserve much credit for the task which you have devolved upon yourself. Let me 'say in conclusion Mr. Editor may you ever have at' your command the aiding hands of the many good citizens of Orangeburg county to prompt you in your great undertaking, and may every young man divest him* self of the thoughts of "failure" and turn his steps in progressive paths as many others have done, and eventually make this country of oura. one of pros perity. Magnolia. We thank our friend for his kind words. The Times will do its duty and we trust our people will assist us in our laborious work. [communicated.] T. C.

It is hardly probable that tho money will ever be paid back $15.284.55. FELIX. [l?OR the OrANOEBURO TlME8.] Mr. Editor.?Will you be so kind as to give place in your columns, to a short detail of one of the most pleas ant little social parties, that has ever assembled on the banks of old Caw Caw, since the rescue of Mot. Floyd, from the hands of thoFIorida refugees by his Sister, "Hurricane Nell." A very kind invitation from my young friend "Charlie," took me to Farnum's Mill. July 7th, and to my surprise found "Charlie" at his post below the mil), playing havoc with the little ring eye Perch, with the indefat igable fisherman, Mr. Wm. P and Maj. J. W. D, who had already taken out twenty perch a piece, and much lar ger species than those caught by our young friend. I understood on my arrival, that some of the party had "taken on" a little too much cherry, before breakfast, and not having my morning "cap" as yet, I was able to judge, found all heads pretty level, though a little more talking than usual (saying what was five bottles of whiskey aud six chickens for three men's breakfast.) I at once took my pole and seat in the boat with frieuds S. D. D and Frank J, the latter using the paddle with much skill, showing that he had been raised on the waters of Edisto. After fishing all over tho poud, we succeeded in catching a fino string of trout and jack. By this time Major D, the fisherman of tho day, gave us to understand that we were needed at the mill, or atleast the fish, that ?re had caught. A few stroKes with friend J.'ii .paddle brought us safe to'the' log landing, ww re we found that our had increased in number, by the arri iii iiiii mo im.i *m jral of Mr. W. W.C, DV. McvJ and Cnpt. M of the Turpentine Regfens. Our ae3tt>pleo8aat surprise v?aj?-n.bottle of good* old ca&iaet, handed us by our kind iWuleQTasicfefitite friend M*. W. W.

H)f course this act was duly appreciated by us, being rather dryv The fish were soon pTeparcdyv Mad ia the pan, under the supervision of Capt. M and J. R. C, who were elected funsters of the culinary department. The skill displayed by th?se gentle men, in frying fish, showed that they had traveled, and that one was as much "Cook" fl? the other. After which a frw of Mr. Zeiglar'a boards were put in use. Bsskets were brought, up by their respective owners, and) soony we had spread! one of the best dinners that ever gladdened the heart of man at a mill pond. We all fared bointifuiiy, every one seeming: to* enjoy tbicwel.ves and the dinner, more especially was) that delicious peach pie,, from Mr. vT Ca basket enjoyed fty all. Diane? being' over we were* treated again to a basket of very fine- peaches, from-the orchard* of tie same. After all-these blesawgay sorae who bad geae. to bed the night before at 11 o'clock, and gotten up at 12, to* go to the pond, enjoyed a "nap" on the ground, whiter ethers radwfged.them selves in a game of ''whist" and a joke occasionally. The morning passed off very rapid, and with expressions of much enjoyment by all, on the occa sion, we parted with the hopes of soon making up another. Party. [Fob tue Gra xokburo Times.] Mr. Editor.?The annual exami. nation and exhibition at Haiglor's Academy, under the supervision of Mr Hugo Q. Sheridan, took place June the 30th and July 1st inst. The first day was devoted entirely to examining the pupils. Mr. Sheridan conducted the examination and although the children were rigidly and extensively examined, yet they acquitted themselves with much credit,showing they had a roaster to instruct them. Mr. Sheridan's stylo of teaching iscifferent from any I.have ever seen.. It is objective and illus trative. The child is obliged tolearn under his System of instruction.'- - The citizens'of St. Mathcws nro fortunate in having such a school located irr their mMif ' WftllM ". V'.j* ? teachers all over our land. - *- . v. The second day was devoted to dec lamation. The morning was ushered in pleasantly and beautifully, and at an early hour the people began to gather from every quarter. By ten o'clock come three or four hundred ladies and gentlemen had collected to witness the exercises. Just as the ex hibition was about to begin, tho assem blage was thrown into confusion, by the falling of n part of the temporary brush shed, erected for Urn occasion. Only one accident occurred, an old lady, Mrs. Snider, received a severe bruise upon her head from a falling timber. Order was soon restored and the performances of the day begau by Masters T McCants aud H Jenkins, acting tho'English man and Innkeeper' "I am the gentleman" came next Mas ters G Hol man, ? Williams, R Smith, T Collier and W Whetstone, were the actors. "A good thrashing" was acted by Masters Hugo Sheridan, A Sum mers and ? Zimmerman. The exhi bition was now varied by speeches from Masters O Dantzler, G Summers O Collier and E Zimmerman. The next was a court scene,"The intelligent witness" by Master T Collier lawyer and Master R Smith witness. This was well rendered and produced a burst of laughter, A shower of r.\in, at this stage of the proceedings, caused the exercises to be temporarily suspended. The rain over. The "Street boy" by Master G Collier was ushered in which produced quite a sensation upon the assembly on account of his ludicrous dress. He performed his part well. The other actors in this farcical piece were Misses Maggie Parlor, Fanny Felkel, Ephmuie Tompaon, Mollio Smith and Matters T McCants, A 6uiuraers,J Felder and Huge Sheridan. "The Artist" by Masters W Whetstone Misssea Mary Jenkins and Simraie Bair. Speeches, by J WheUtone, J Felder. T Jourdian and A Summers were next in order. The laughable dialogue, "The Census taker" was acted by Masters J Gilroore, T Haig ler, Misses Mary Collier aud Bimtnie Bair. Miss Bair deserves special no tice for excellent performance. "The Master piece" was acted by Masters ? Williams, T Felder, C Holroan and Miss Mary Jenkins. We note with ploaturothcirjimitoblo performance of flatter Tommy T^eTtfcr as the'jngger.' Speeches- came next irr order, Masters H- JcuUins, T RflcCants, R Smith and Jas. Gilmore. "The Ghost" by Mas ters.- T Felder, W Whetstone and Micees Collier and Thompson was a good: thing. "A Plantation ..Scene**' wis splendid. It was performed by Maater? W Whetstone,. T Felder, T McCants and' ? Williams. It pro duced- outbursts of laughter and ap plause. The exercises of tlicday Were now brought, to a close by speeches from the following young? gentlemen, Masters Hugo Sheridan, Tommy Col lier, Eugene Williams, Willie Whet stone, Tommy Haigler, Tommy Felder and an original speech by Masten Clarance Holman. This speech shows much thought and was well delivered. It deserves more than a passing notice on account of the unique ground taken Uy the speaker. He denies the unity of the human race and advocates the n*w geological idea of distinct centres of creation,, vizr The Caucasian, African, Mongolian, Malay and In dien. Caucasian the- highest in point cf intellect and elvi 1 izntro-.r. The negro the lowest in grndr. These views are antagonistic to- the present teachings ef Theology. The entire performance did credit to both pupil and teacher. Jt is'jmrtir however, to say that Master Tommy Haigler deserves credit and praise for ease and grace ir* speaking. The exercises having closed the audi ence was invited- to partake of a sump tuous dinner, prepared for the occasion by the ladies. These mothers nnd daughters of St. Mathews know now to cater to the appetite. It was a dinner worthy of the occasion and the people.. The repast ended, the multitude turned homeward well pleased with the pleas ures and enjoyment of the day. etowa; Kirk Robinson DKAT.KR IH Bjoks, MtuVc, Stationery, nnd Fancy .
