Hudson. ^e Board .consists of School Commissioner W. K3hMM? and H. F. Wilson, Esq. Ex-Cadet Whittaker. Ex-Cadet Whittaker, of West Point ferae, delivered an address in the colored Methodist church.on Friday night. In company with a number of gentlemen of sundry political per? suasions, we pat ic an appearance. We found Whittaker to be a young man of 20 years, and almost white. His address was pleasing throughout, and gave jevery indication of the fact that he .is-^11 educated. In a speech of over an hoar's le'Bgth we did not detect a single grammatical error while, on the other hand, his language vr as chaste and mild. The subject was "?hVColor Line at West Point," and he impressed us with the idea : that his story was true. Wedo not believe, after hearing him, that he was guilty of self mutilation, the U. S. court-martial to the contrary, notwithstanding. He commenced his address in a way not at all flattering to our Republican friends. He spoke of the "fraudulent Hayes," the '"boss loving Grant, " aod the "accidental Arthur" with some tinge of contempt, and said that all he had suffered bad beenat the hands of Re. publican officers. For this--reason-he an? nounces himself as independent io- politics. _ At West Point he says he was always pointed at ?nd spoken of as "that nigger," and that the only gentleman there who ever showed him a kindness was a Cadet from Geor? gia, a Southern State. He mian tai ns the right of the negro to enter West Point on the ground that they are a free people, they pay taxes, vote, and maintain the government. Bnt he says they do not want the negro there, and have no use for him except to make a tool of him in time of war. His address was well listened to, and we felt rewarded for having gone to hear him. .The idea was forcibly impressed upon our mind that it will eventually be fouDd that the -true friend of the negro lives in the South and not in the North. Charleston Advertisers. F. W. Wagener & Co., one of the largest firms in the South, put in a card in this issue, to which tney invite your attention. Mr. Neill O'Donnell is still their travelling agent. H Bischoff & Co. are bold to make known the virtues of their Carolina Tolu Tonic, a great remedy for all pulmonary diseases.

Read it. and send on your orders. At Home and Abroad. The Rev, G. D. Bernbeim, of Charlotte, N. C., one of the editors and proprietors of At Home and Abroad, an excellent Southern Maga? zine, devoted to literature and morality of the purest standard is in town. As the news? papers and magazines constitute the library of the majority of the American people, great care should be paid to their selection, for the ideas promulgated by them mould to a great extent the character of our people, and there? fore the purest reading possible should be sought. As every line of this valuable Maga? zine glows with a pure Southern spirit, we commend it to our citizens as a useful and in? teresting household companion. Mr. Bern heim, we suppose, will canvass the town be? fore he leaves. Among the Patents issued by the U. S. Patent Orfice to-day, was one to Christopher & Alexander of Spartanburg, S.

Barrett $ Co.*s Few United Monster Shows-The Most Stupendous Railroad Me? nagerie and Circus ever Organized. . Indefinite announcements of the coming to j Sumter of the grand and new Menagerie and j Circus have been quite sufficient to make a sensation, and now that Friday, Sept. 15th j is positively announced as the date of its ap? pearance, lhere will be a regular old fashion? ed awakening. Surely the bills tell of enough to drive sleep from the eyes of the young, and to revive in the hearts of the old much of the consuming circus ?fire of youth, and when the splendid .street parade arrives, with its elephants, camels, dromedaries and wild beasts in cara? van ; its grand and gorgeous chariots, cars and cages ; its three fine martial bands and new Leviathan Locomotive Steam Orchestra, and its hundreds of wonders and amusing sights, everybody will be attracted to the half million yards of- brilliantly electric lighted tents. It is unquestionably the most stupendous railroad menagerie and circus ever organized in America, and can lay fair claim to the ti? tle of Universal Living Exposition.' That it j i is vast and inviting beyond precedent, and fully and fairly up to its advertismeots, is amply vouched for by the hearty encomiums of both the press and public wherever its can? opied wonderland has halted, and that it will many times repay the expense and trouble of a visit is equally certain. We need not now recapitulate the many genuinely rare and ex? clusive features it has collected from every clime at fabulous cost, and alone presents. From theonly living WbiteNHeHippopotamus and the fourteen wonderfully beautiful and in? telligent performing horses to the Electric Light, they have been more talked about than the great ship canal, and any ooe of at least a baker's dozen of them is a first-class show alone; while in the splendid and varied street parade will be seen a free display to dazzle and delight the wonder-rounded eye. It is a truly great and most liberally and care? fully managed exhibition, which all can con? sistently patronize with profit and pleasure. The parade will commend itself to all lov? ers of the attractive in spectacular effect, and, as arrangements have been made with all the railroads for cheap excursions, it amounts to almost a certainty that the sur? rounding population will avail itself of the privilege and be in town at an early hour, so as not to miss thc procession and also the free outside ascension on a single invisible wire.

Although Mr. Sanders has been a most zealous Demo? crat, working with might and main in every campaign, in whatever direction, he coule best serve Sumter County, and further the cause of the democracy, it is not for this rea? son that he is now endorsed by the bestand most influential citizens for Sheriff, but by reason, of his qualifications and peculiar tact for the office.
