ORANGEBUllG TIMES. G. W. WHITEHfeAI>, Editor and Proprietor. ORANGEBURG, 6. C, A1I0?ST 8,1874. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Copy for one year, - $2.00 (i >? ? Six 'Month*, - - - 1.00. ,Our fripndi? wishing to have advertIsentatits inverted in the TIMES, must Imnd them in by Monday morning) 10 o'clock. g^gu We are in no tray responsible for the titses or opinions of our Correspondents. It in gratifying to tho owner of this paper, that its efforts are being appre ciated. During the past four weeks a handsome. list of paying subscribers bas been handed in, aud as we expect to live only upon the patronage of our friends, we accept the help as an earn est of good will, and shall promise to do our best for their material advance ment. Newspapers that are fed on public pap can afford to give nway the "largest circulation;" Cr.fc away the pap, and they would live a very short existence. Our columns are filled with items tending to elevate all, and no partisan exaggerations for selfish ends are made to degrade our race to exalt another that is inferior whether by accident or by nature. We regard the prosperity of the negro race as allied so closely with that of the white, that to see the interests of the latter im paired is to see the whole framework of society demolished. Tho happiness and success of the black man is the sequence to the success of the white; Reverse the attitude of the two, and a chaos must ensue that will annihilate society and government. This is a vexed question, because degraded office seekers make it so, it is a question that the logic of events alone must settle; be the time when it may; the means how they may, one fact is fixed, the white man shall inevitably rule, by rights of a presciouca that is written immutably upon every record of past History. To exalt the hopes and am bitions of the black man is a moral obligation; but to teach or attempt to teach him that these Southern States are his, and upon him rest the devel opment of their resources, and expan sion of their civilization, is to teach the essence of all that is rediculous and shameful. Years hence whon a remnant of the race shall linger here, as they now de in more northern States, where once they flourished, they may survey the track over which their people have trod, and where misfortune overtook them first, they may see its handmaid (the rotten friendship of white adven: hirers and demagogues). In spite of the degraded means employed to pull down the Times by those who would, but never can effect their purpose fairly, wo are moving on; We intend to do so by the people's help, and to the people we appeal to send us names that our venture may be secured and fixed. _ Mr. Editor?Why do we have to import a delegate from Orangeburg Court house for "Rockygrove Town ship." If it is ignorance please send us a better man. Taxpayer. We answer that Orangeburg pollu tions think the County is theirs, and Rockygrove .should thow them the mistake; Being a long way outside of the ring, wc can not help you in your dilemma. Ed [communicated.] A cortico.se ultramontane of thenu ogenized mood deals unsonsio to pyr rhonists of conservative class and offers a turpeth (vulgarly called radicalism) as an antidote for "tax union rabies." Peur. If our curious subscriber who has perplexed us with the tangle hank jaw straining selection above, and begs the Times to explain, escapes phrenitis after this he will bo fortunate. Wo put it through the crucible of analysis, and guess as follows: The movement of the people in form ing tax unions is bo general, that the party is getting scared, aud would try to convince the unsophisticated that it is a new rebellion in iucipiency. That if the tax is resisted it will be forced nolens volens from the people, and out of this argument we are to deduce - iliis conclusion. Any thief can be fleeted to office, ami if needs be every 4'llice may bo. filled with thieves, the taxpayer is to he as dumb as a mummy He has no rights, no protest, or in f hurt like a crowd of serfs dogrnded I,, low those of Russin, we arc to stand eilciit in the nugu >?t presence of radi cal potcir'.ates. .

Dr. Lewis Dantzlcr was called to the chair, and B. O. Evans request ed to net m secretsry. After enrolling a goodly number of names, among whom were a few colored friends, the following officers and delegates were elected: President, W. R. Keller, ' "? Vice president, F. M.

EVANS, Secretary Pro. Tern. [Fon the Oranoeburo Times.} Republican Bleating. August 1st., 1874. According to call, a meeting wa3hcld for the purpose of electing Delegates to the County Convention, to be held on Thursday 13th instant. F. R. Mc Kinlay acted as chairman of the meet ing, and Vandy Bowman as secretary. They first met at the School house, but the heat, noiso and uproar becoming too much for the sable gentleman they adjourned to the neighboring shade trees,where they completed their work to their own satisfaction, by electing the following Delegates to the County Convention?A. B Knowltqn, F. R: McKinlay? Vnudy Bowman, Beiij. Byas, Antony Golson, A. B. Martin, -Dantzler, R. W. Turner nnd J. C. Moore. After tho election was concluded, each delegate delivered an address, appropriate to the occasion. Some of the speakers came down pretty heavy on the present ringmaster of this big circus, from all appearances, he will have to hand the whip over to tho great By ns, who seems to have a good hold on the people now. This man was not slow in pitching in to tho Senator from tlm county, they however can not deprive him of his office for two years to come unless he resigns, and that he's not willing to do, ho will hold on as long as he can to the loaves and fishes. This Convention seemed anxious to put in new men. A. B. Knowltun is certainly in the lead. One great cry at this gathering was, down with dishonest men, give us reform nnd send good men to Columbia. [com min icated.] Jamipon Tcnx Out S. 8., Aug. 1,18<4. Mr. Editor. ?I beg permission of a small space in your issue this week to give you a sketch of a very pleasant trip to the County of Lexington, to attend an Association of thoGraugeis. On last Wednesday morning my way lay around those gorgeous old hills which are to be seen in tho upper part of our country, towards the place ap pointed for the Association. Tho ride occupied tour nnd a half hours which was very fatiguing, not being accus tomed to such rides. I arrived at the appointed place, and to my surprise on examination of my watch, found it to be only nine o'clock, which convinced me that the crowd which was expected had not yet arrived. There stood be fore mo a new nnd handsome building which proved to be a Baptist church called by tho nnnic of Sardis. Being almost an entire stranger, I began to feel quite lonely; Looking around for something that might interest me, in order to wear away tho time pleasantly until the crowd assembled, I saw in rear of tho church a great valley which is peculiar to the section of country. I found a path leading down the hill evidently in tbo direction of a spring, winding my way nround its frequent turn* my eyes fell upon abulk of what seemed to bo earth, ns I examined I found it to ho one of those immense rocks which arc neon among the hills of Lexington. 1 did not have an oppor above the ground at least twelve feet, forming a flat top large enough to supply seats for twelve persons, After examination of the rock, I passed on down the path, and defending about two hundred feclliielowtrro-lev'el of iny starting point, I found a spring of de> lightful water, but not carefully at tended to t just below the spring about fifty feet distant was the baptism pool which was alao very poorly arranged. But I am taking up too much time in these uninteresting scenes. I returned to the church and found that the small, crowd I left had increas ed very largely, and among ilium were many of my acquaintances. The ladies were busily engaged in completing the decoration of the previous day. It was not long before the secret meeting of the Grange commenced which lasted until twelve o'clock, an intermission of a few minutes was given, beiore the general programme of the c'ay com menced. The audience was pealed as comfortably as circumstances would allow, the choir of the Society taking the front seats. At half past twelve the meeting was called to 01 der, and began by the singing of a hymn. Dr. W. T. Brookcr was then^ritroduced, whe in a mild and pleasant manner, very eloquently expounded to Ids audi ence the great benefits derived from being a member of the Grange. Mr. J. M. Hooker followed, and brought forth from the deep recesses of a well trained mind sweh language that baffled even the learned of tbeday. Third iu order was Mr. D. J. Nols who enter tained us with a well formed speech. Fourth was Major II. A. Mettze, an eminent lawyer from Columbia, whose remarks were highly appreciated by the entire crowd. At the close of Maj. Me Uze's speech several others were called on to make some remarks in behalf of the Grange. All over, the eloeing hymn was sung, and the crowd asked to retire from the hou.se in order that preparations might be made for dinner. There was a ? committee ap pointed to arrange the tables in proper style. The ladies were then invited in ??iu aitct iiiuy ntni muisiicu lhem3civCS with the ninny good things that I imagined wcicset before them, they I>roihptlyTrcUH;d lYonrtllc^VioUtfe, and the male sex generally followed suit. After supplying the inner-man with the substnntials of life, we hnd ns des ert the very best of fruit and melons. I will add before closing in regard to the dinner, that it was impossible for nie to do justice to the bountiful sup ply placed before me, on account of partaking of a nice extra ajze slice of cake given me by one of the fairest.of the day, and I will further add, I made an unmerciful speciality of chicken. During the afternoon pleas ant conversation was enjoyed. Evening dipersed the large crowd carrying with them to their respective homes, memo ries of the past day that will not be soon forgotten. RAMBLER. Everywhere the dominion of Death rules; every moment sees his victinm fulling, nnd yet the measure of time in unfulfilled to us who remain, the certainty of following after is no less fixed, because the boundary to us is unseen. Slowly yet surely the graveyard is being heaped with grave*, we stund to day as mourners, to-morrow they drop the kin dred sod upon us. The life that is cut short in infancy saddens the home, circle. The sudden end of a youthful life paralyzes awhile the contracted sphere of promising career. But when age with its fulness of ripe experi ence, its wisdom drawn from the vicissitudes of three scores yearn and ten, it* ambitions tempered by the gradr.iions of Hope and din appointment, joy .and sorrows, inuring the soul to reverses, and restraining it tosubmls sion. When a life beginning in usefulness and bold vigor.gathering strength in the practice ofgood, devoting itself to the grand object of existence has been ended ; there is a patifle thnti8solemn,a void that is irreparable, a loss 111:it is felt in spite of the gruve that hides the form und features we respected and loved. These thoughts are suggested by the decease of the late liev. I. S. Keith I^'garo which occurred on the 2vth of July 187-1. Mr. Loga re was a graduate of Yale coliego in 1831. lie then entered the theological Seminary of Columbia under Professer Howe and Colliding, and closing his studies after three years laid the foundations of the Or angeburg Presbyterian Church as its first pastor in May 1835. Under his exertions,, and nided in great part by his immediate family nnd friends, the first building for service wus erected. Having served ten yearn as pa.-tor, he resigned on account of a throat affection that impaired his health. Mean time Mr. Legare was not inactive, and later lie established the Seminary for young ladies from which graduated many who arc the noblest mothuis of the land, and whose train ing intellectual and religious tftey freely accord to him. f he late war having lermi hiHtitution, Mr. Lcgare was called to the Sunday school work, first in Virginia and afterwards in Georgia. His resignation from this duty on account of increased feebleness drew forth unqiinllified letters of regret and commendation from both the .Secrctarics(Mr McCuHongh) of the Southern department, and Mr. uurfci of the Northern department of the American Sunday School Union, and thousands of children white and colored to day reverence the memory of him whose chmtian philanthropy was devoted to their Rev. I. S. Keith Legare. nated tl ilar moral advancement. Having retired to his farm though rapidly failing in health he still consented to nervo the pulpit of the " Beech Island" church,and preached hu last ?ennon on tho 10th of Jniy,. .H?'waa taken ill' a few days after, and without a pang cf regret, cr of bodily pain ho laid aside his work on- the 29th. He like David baving"'<served his gen eration' by the will of God* fell on sleep." AST To remove Hogs from the streets and public squares of the town of Oranoeburo S. C.
