A. Paper fax* tlxo People. Okanqkuuh?, S. (J., August 2T. 1880. _?-??., . . Opa tbauks-?are tendered Mr. J. F. Jackson, of Rccvcsvtlle, for d bas ket of tho finest and most delicious peaches we ever saw. . We understand tho Winskip Gins advertised by Messrs Bull & Scoville are giving perfect satisfaction to pur chasers. The staple produced is of the finest quality. Several bales of new cotton have beer, sold in town during the week at enoourraging prices. It is thought the present prices will be maintained until the lien season begins. A gun team from our town left on Wednesday morning for Spartanbnrg to take part in the shooting contest. We trust they will not fait short of their reputation as good sportsmon bat rather add to it. Mr. Henry Snell who has been at Glenn Springs for his health has re turned and we hope the quiet and comforts of home together with the tender care of loved ones may bo ef fective in restoring his health. We were pleased to welcome Mr. Jas. S. Heyward of the Kingstrcc Star to oua Sanctum on Thursday last. Mr. Heyward is in excellent spirits, and gives a hopeful account of the political situation iu Willia'ms burg county. We were glad to meet our worthy friend Dr. W. F. Barton after his re turn from a month's stay on Snlh yans Island with his family. The visit was both pleasant and beneficial and the sea air proved to be quite a relief from the hot and sultry weath er of the country. Euonv Straker and Bolivor have buried the tomahawk, and henceforth peace will reign in Warsaw. We were in hopes that tho old adage?"When rogues fall ont honest men get their dues"?would ho verified in this case, but it seems thoy knew too muoh on each other, and so they embraced and made up. From every section of the County wo get very unfavorable accounts ol the cotton crop. Since the last rains rust has appeared on every kind of lands, and will cut the crop shot t even iu the clay legions. Bolls the sige of a man's thumb are falling off by Hcores. This is not usual iu the worst ! onsono far rust, Tup. two Georgia candidates for Governor, Gov, Colquitl and Ex-Son alor T. M. Norwood have made ar? rangemenls to discuss their di Iterance before the people of 4he stale. It is to be hoped no bad blood will spriut? up between them und no ill effects will result from this division iu the Dem ocratic party of the Empire State. The Chicora Brass Band, of Char leston under the leadership of Mr. B. K.. Holloway. serenaded lion's. Sam'l Dibble und C. B. Glover on Saturday evening last, Mr. Dibble in returning thanks for the honor took occasion to address, a few words to the colored citizens, advising them to make every effort to securo proper ty and ap education. The Orangeburg Diatriot Confer ence convenes in the Orangeburg Lu theran Church to day. Thore will be preaching in this church tonight at 8 o'clock, by Rev. Win. Stoudeumire. On Sunday morning Rev. J, F. Probst is expected to preach, after which the Xnord,a Supppr will he ad ministered, Every-bady is. invited to attend. The corner stone of the new Meth odist church at Branchville will be laid on Wednesday, i?o.ptember 8th, 1880. The ceremony will be made interesting by several spceshes. The public are cordially invited to attend nnd are promised an entertainment worth enjoying; also a hot dinner Will be served during the day in aid ol the church and it is hoped there will be a general attendance. The Rev. Dr. Webster opened his harrangue on Saturday by informing his colored hearers that he had no axe to grind?in other words he did not \yant an office. When it is taken into consideration that this political par son now holds one of the best paying offices in the county his disinterested ness can be fully understood and ap preciated. There are a good many more patriots like you, Doctor, in the Republican party. The factory buildings of' Mr. Geo. H. Cornelaoif are approaching com pletion. Beside the main fuetory in which the machinery will be operated there arc tenement houses for the op eratives and a brick building for seed cotton capable of holding five or six hundred bale*. Tho boiler and en gine are already ip position and only await connection with the machinery to give the long wished for hum of the spindle to our town. Would there were more Corneisons in Orangcburg then the beginuing of a city might be dated. Tbc 7th Septembor is appointed by the State Executive Committee as the occasion of a grand ratification Mass Meeting of the Stnle to be held at Columbia. Addresses will be delivered by Senator Bayard of Deleware, Gov. Vance of "North Carolina and other leading statesman of the South. Theso gcntlcmeu will tell our people t hat the election of Hancock and Eng lish means the delivercnce of our coun try from Radical thraldom, from tho spoilings of corrupt officials and from the deepest political disgrace that ever rested upon tbe fair name of a noble state. Representatives from every quarter ot tho state and the adjoin ing stales will bo there, and the occa sion is expected to be a glorious send off to the state campaign and to bo followed up by Mass Meeting iu overy County. Sheridan's Classical School will open at the rooms in the Fair Build ing on the first Monday in Septem bers at 9 o'clock a. m. Pupils, both boys ond girls, aro requested to be punctual in their attendance on the flrstpJay of the term. Tbis is |impor tant in ordor to onablo tho principal to classify and arrange the grades. The necessary assistance will be cm ployed and every effort mado to ad vance the pupils in their studies. Tho reputation of the school for thor ough teaching and strict discipline will be maintained, and, by extra ef forts, improved during tho year. The success of the past encovrages the principal to hope for a liberal pat ronage f:om the public. Stndentsfrom the surrounding communities, and other counties can obtain board in the family of the principal, with Mr. J. M. Danner or G. W. Brunson. For price of tuition, board and course of study see advertisement in another column. At a recent meeting of tho board of trustees of the Agriculturcal Col lege at Columbia, complete arrange ments were made to open that insti tution on the 1st of October next. The chair of Geology, made vacant by the declination of Prof. Joseph LeConte, was filled by the election ol tho Rev. James Woodrow of Colum bia and late Piofcssor in the Theolo gical Seminary there, SulUeicnt money was placed at tho disposal of the Executive Committee to provide for a successful boginning of tbe first t6rm, Mr. G. W. Connors, ol Hamp ton Couuty was elected foroman of the farm. Ail tenants, who have been occupying the College buildings, will remove forlhw th in ordor that the rooms may be mat'e ready for the students, who will ho charged no other fee than thut of ten dollars for room rent,. The name of the inatitu lion is "The South Carolina College of Agricultural Mechanics," and of course degrees of graduation will be oonforrcd on all those who complete tho prescribed ooursc. This is the first effort made since the war to give the youth of our country u strictly practical education. The prediction has gone forth that the onterpriao will be a failure, because the business of a College is to train the mind to think properly, whilest to do, is the after work of the student himself. We really see no reason why a College may not learn a man to do as well as to think?why not both. ReUnion.?On Friday, the 13th instant, the students and ex-students of Newberry College from the lower, portion of the State met at Trinity Church in Middle St. Matthews for the purpooo of organizing a union among them in l|te interest of educa tion generally. After the usual pre liminaries, a permanent organisation was made by electing Prof. J. B. O. Holloway, President, Rev. William Stoudcnmire, Secretary and Treasur er, and the present incumbents to the oilier offices. Speeches wore made in behalf of general education by Prof. J. R. ?. Holloway, H. G. Sheri dan, Prof. Geo. B. Cromer and Rev. S. S. Uabn, tho two last professors of Newberry College who made most excellent addresses in advocacy of col lego education ue the best systom yet devised for training tho mind and preparing ihc student for future suc cess in any of tho vocations of life. 'These gentlemen have mude a most favorable impression upon tho com munity, and will doubtless widen their sphere of usefulness in a field where there are already many honor ed graduates of Newberry College. Alter a recess of an hour to partake of a splendid dinner prepared for the occasion by the citizens of the neigh borhood, tho Union reassembled to finish tho business before it. Reso lutions of thnnks to the citizens for their sonorous hospitality were unan imously udoplcd, and, after the bene diction, a meeting of all the Sunday School children from the difTcront churches was culled. C^uite a num ber of schools were represented, and Rev. Wm. Stoudcnmire, Rev. S. S. j Ruhti and Prof. Geo. B. Cromer en | tertained the large audience in their I happiest style. Tho occasion was a ( most enjoyable one all round. ? If any body want9 hotter weather than this, wc would refer him to i Pluto's dominion where, perhaps, he moy be accomodatcd. The cold wave that passed over the Eastern States two weeks ago has not reached this part of tho worl'1 According to tbo call of the Execu tive Committee the Democratic Nom inating Convention met in the Court House on Wednesday last at 12 o'clock m. Hon. Satn'l Dibble, Coun ty Chairman called the mooting to or der aud, after an appropriate address to the dclogatcs present, requested Mr. J. L. Hcidlman, Scct'y of Exec utive Committee, to call the. list of clubs and rolls of delegates and alter nates. The call having been com pleted, objections were laised to the delegations from Hampton and Rocky Grove Clubs which necessita ted the appointment of a committee on credentials. One from each club constituted the committee nnd after a 'short absence reported the difficulties adjusted. The Chairman announced that the convention was ready for per manent organization and ou motion Hon. S. Dibblo was elected President by acclamation, Dr. ft. W. Bates, Mr. J. H. Felder and Dr. O. II. Ott were in the same manner elected Vice Pres idents ; and Mr. W. L. Glaze Secti os Treas. Mr. Jno. N. Hook, Assist Scct'y & Mr J. L. Hcidlman was ap pointed Sergeant at arms. Resolutions requiring all candi dates and delegates to pledge them selves to support the ticket about to be put in the field were laid on the labic on the ground that it was un necessary, the party being harmoni ous and every delegate felt himself in honor bound to support the ticket with bis best efforts, also to require all caudidatcs for the legislature to ex press their views upon the subject of whiskey and pistols, were unanimous ly voted down. The President announc ed that the convention was ready to ontor upon the work of nominating a county ticket and asked which should be tiic basis of election, a two third vote of the delegates or a majority. It was decided that a majority vote should rule and thatlhrjo' minutes bo allowed for any speech putting in nomination a candidate. Gen. Jas. F. Izlar was upon motion unanimous ly nominated for the position of State Senator. Ten or fifteen gentlemen were put before the convention for the Legislature and on the first bal lot Dr. J. W. Summers having re ceived ninety five votes and Dr. J. ('. Holman eighty nine were declared elected. A motion was then made to nominate the two next highest by ac clamation which was aboptcd and Capt. Augustus Fludd and Dr. B. II. Knotty were declared nomincd. The Colored delegates, nine in number, then presented the names of Alexan der Brown and Aaron Simmons for the Canvenliou to select one of them as a candidate) for the Legislature. After the ballot the President de clared that Alexander Brown was elected. The following gentlemen, after nu merous balloting8, were nominated for the county offices ; Clerk ot the Court, Mr.* Joseph Robinsen ; Sheriff, Mr. A. M. Sclloy ; Judge of Probate, B. P. Izlar ; Coun ty Commissioners, Messrs. C. G. Dantzler, J. C. Fanning and Marsh al* Jones, colored ; School Commis sioner, Mr. Styles R, Mellichams, nnd Coroner, Mr. ,1. L. Heidtman. The delegates, having now completed the work for which they were called and a resolution of thanks to the Presi dent having been offered by Mr. Jno. H. Phillips, for the able aud impar tial manner in which lie had conduct ed the business of the session, the Convention was addressed by the the President upon the importance of Harmony and Unity in the putty and earnest effort on the part of every vo ter in order to secure the election of the ticket. The Convention after a laborious session adjourned at half past eleven o'clock P. M. Ttn: syoophantish Boiivcr advised the negroes last Saturday in his har rnuguc to thorn to carry the election by peaceable means if possiblo, ?nd if they couldn't carry it by peaceable means to carry it by some other. Such incendinary language as this is calculated to brew trouble, and when the "other means" is being used we'll wager a hat that the redoubtable George won't be there. Wk regret being absent from our ?lllee on the occasion of a call by Mr. A. Barron Holmes on Wednesday last, tbo worthy representative of Ed ward Perry, bookseller and stationers of Charleston, S. C., and hope he will honor us with another call when wc will be pleased to welcome him to our sanctum.
