A Grand Day in Lower St.
Matthews.
Hot Weather?His Pic-Nic, aud Professor
Duncan.
Middle St. Matthews,
July 12 th 1379.
Mr. Editor:
The friends of the Sunday school
cause in Providence and adjoining
Townships had been preparing for,
and anxiously awaiting the ushering
in of (lie lHh day of July for some
time past ?for on that day, as pre
viously .announced, a grand Sunday
school onion pic-nie and educational
meeting would commence to lust three
days at Union Camp Ground. Your
correspondent was lot lunate enough
to arrive pretty early in tho morning,
and being anxious to find out the
day's programme, made some inquiry
iu that direction, and learned that
Prof. Duncan, of WofTord, and other
d is tinguiscd .speakers would probably
he present; but when the hour for llie
exercises arrived, it was definitely
ascertained that Prof. l>. was the
only one who bad bravod the heat
aud put it: an appearauce.
Alter an appropriate song by the
united Sunday schools, Rev, J. B.
Platt in a few well-timed remarks,
introduced Prof. Duucau as the first
speaker. To describe the speech m.tde
by this gentleman is beyond the pow
er ol your corresnotideut. He spoke
aa only Prof. Duncan can speak (in
my estimation at least) t? the child
rcri, asking them many questions
which I think they answered to his
satisfaction. His remarks to tho
older children, especially those made
in connection with certain persons
who were trying to hold umbrellas
between Lhe sou s rays aud their un
fortunate victims were exactly to the
noint,?as wo know from,personal
experience. His address was some
what lengthy, but did not seem to
tire the large and attentive audience.
At its close, some more Sunday
school songs were snug, followed by
one from the Fiofcsior, and the hour
for dinner wasaunounced. It.would
certainly take a mo lern epicure to
describe this part of the days pro -
gramme ? and such wo claim not to
hi?but it was a dinner, a famous
dinner?one prepared by ladies who
understand to perfection the art of
getting up a Sunday school pic nic.
In our bumble judgment this old sec
tion kuown as St Matthews cannot
be excelled for its excellenthouto
wives. But I am digressing. Dinner
over the larger portion repaired to
the stand to listen again to the
Professor's eloquence. Tho afternoon
address was made in behalf of Wof
ford College, the theme being Christ
ian education. This was the crown
ing feature of the day, and we hope
that it was influential in securing
many new names on the eddowmcnt
list.
Tbero will bt preaching to-day by
Prof. Duncan, aud perhaps Suuduy
too, but the distance, added to the
heat, is more than we can en lure two
or throe days in succession.
A word more and we will close.
The eropB are suffering terribly just
now from drought and heat. I u the
v.cinety of Providence Church it ha<
been about eight weeks since effective
showers have fallen. Corn is seriously
damaged, am! cotton cannot survive
many days without material loss
It \mud: it.
For the Orangeburg Times.
Mr. Editor :
As one of tho Robinson men who
have been coin|elled to bear a good
deal of censure, for supporting him in
tho recent convention, I hopo you
will not refuse mo a short space to
explain the situation. I know your
well known disposition to harmony,
may induce you tosuppressau article
? ike. this, but in my opinion, a souse
of common justice and a lovo of
freedom should cnuso you to hesitate
to stifle the voice of tiie people.
We arc charged with a lack of
party (ealty, ami with endeavoring
to throw a firebrand into our ranks
in putting forward Mr. Robinson.
I ".-hum that it is not ao; but that
M r. Robinson was tba true choice of*
the people, and that the delegates
from the country as a geueral thing
camo up to vote for him, but a- larg,j
number of them wero turned, after
they came, into town, by the arguments
of the more influential friends of M r.
Glover at the Court Mouse. A* the
matter turned out, in spite of these
conversions, the vote stood G'over 33
and Robinson 25; and I feel satisfied
if the delegates bad be^n left to
themselves, aud had voted according
to their own dictates, and according
to tho wish of thu clubs they repre
sento'', that Mr. Robinson would have
been elected.
The arguments brought to bear at
[ the Court HouaJ wore, that it wai
only a short unexpired term, aud
that it would iujure Robinsju in tho
I next general election, aud it was
be.-t to let Mr. Glover alone for the
I little while, and Mr. Robinson could
be elected the next time.
I know of a number of delegates
who were Rohiiisou men, and t)ld me
su iu i'oft country, but after they g3t
to Orangeburg, 1 found they had
changed to Glover men.
Now I do not write to cause dis
satisfaction in tho party, but only to
let the truth be known, ibeiicveiu
sticking to the choice of the conven
tion, hut in the future let this be a
warning for every delegate to think
for himself, and not to let others do
their thinking for thbtu. This is tin
only way to preserve the harmony of
the party, and keep it on the wiuuing
side.

Things About Town.
Mi t, r Etltttr:
Again I will hufter ask you to
give me the room iu your valuable
paper to expres miself. Now I ain't
goine to cunfine miself to any perticu
ler subject, but. am goine to talk
about things in general. 1 am goine
to go for the Town Kouncil agane,
(an' I hop^ I'll fetch 'em.)
The iurst thing I wuld notice, iz
theze baby catriges, an' the uiger gals
that push 'em. I think the Kouncil
nrter make tho nurses go down street
single file, (same as tho Edisto Rifles
do when they go fur soda water,") an*
not du as I have seen them, goine
side by side, an' taken up tho holo ov
the eitle walk. Thare iz one long
tall, slim one that tiido her best to
run over mo the tother day, an' if she
had to, I'do a spilt her up a heap
thinner than she iz now. I hope the
Kouncil wont lot this g > on by with
out nolicin' it.
1 seen something in tho tother
paper bout the streats beiu' soup an' j
down like a country road, a.i' I think
that paper iz bout haf rite. Thare iz
one o? theze up an' down plases rite
at the foot ov "Dilo streat," (an' its a
goi d eise up an* down too) that I
wish the Kouncil would fix or get out
I ov the way. I would I'kctomakea
proprosion to the Kouncil, an' the
proposion iz this: Lot the Kouncil
! put a bcrloone dowu thare by Mr. j
Kirk Robinson to carry pceple over
to the tother hil, fur itzan orful job
to get up that h?l, an' J think I ortor j
kno aumctbiug bout it, fur I havo
gone long thare several times durin*
mi life. Tho Kouncil ort er* be vary
knicful an' not let the berloono go
j too hi, (fur thay put one thare) fur if
, I would go in one an' it wold go too
j hi, I think it wuld give me the hi
st er ricks.

this fellor iz, nor I dont karo to kno ,
but t ha res iz ono thing that I wold
like to kuo,4in' that iz, how do "Ike"
kno that thorn figs ain't ripe yet; he
must abin' roun I that side hitmolf.
Ede like, to let "Ike" kno that thare
ar a p'.enty tother places rouu'thare
I for fice pnppys to bo, besides Mr.
I Kirk Robinsons, at least I think so,
and I think "Ike" wold think so too
if bo had to teen me- usiu' mi under

I think "Ikes" moshiou \z & rite goid

Hidrick will store up tint co mmitty
and report ax suneaz posiblo. "Ike"
wants to kno if I go long that way

From Bad to Worse
Apropos of the recout disclosures
concerning the falsehoods and hypo
crisies of the Ilev. Alonzo Webster,
a responsible gentleman of this city
gives an account of a swindling opera
tion in which that worthy was en
gaged in 1871, which will be read
with interest by his brother philan
thropists at the North. Mr. Webster
was at this time presiding elder of
the A. M. E. Church for this district,
and his colleague a in the swindlo was
the then pastor of Centenary Church,
sinco deceased. The modus operandi
was as follows : Webster went
around to n number of jewellers and
purchased several second class
watches, paying iu most in.vtancoj
not more thau the cases wero worth.
The following Sunday ho and his
reverend conspirator from tho pul
pits of the coloro 1 churches give oat
that thero was a poor widow woman
in tho congregation wh > was in dss t
tute circumstances who was disir uui
of disposing of her husband's watch
?tho last article of valuo she ha 113 t
111 tho worl I.
Such an appe.tl, mid?s under
such circumstances, by such
consummate, hypocrites, was not
without success, an I ths watoa
was purchased at a sum more than
five times its value. This littlegativj
was successfully playol for several
we des uuti', on ono occasion, a col re 1
man, one of the c mgregation, said,
in the courso of conversation with
Webster, that he would take oue of
the watches which was out of repair
to Mr. -ti have it Gxed, naming*
the very jeweller from whom Mr.
Webster had purchased it. Knowing
that this would noverdo, Mr. Wob
ster went immediately to the jewel lor
and told him that tho watch which he
had got from him did nonsuit him
and ho had disposed 0 fit at a little ad
vance, and if a man br ui *ht it to him
to have it repaired not to say any
thing about his having purchased
from him. Webster's evident alarm
attracted the attention of the jeweller,
and when the mau camo with the
watch ho asked him about it, and
learned tho whole truth of the rascally
proceeding. The names of the parties,
who aro able to testify to these facts
from personal knowledge, aro with
he'd by roquest, but if .Mr. Webster
or his friends want them they can got
