turning from Columbia at half fare.
The committee, then rose, and General Ches-

follows:
SPEECH OF MA PORTER.
If felt any qualification at the honor con
ferred in the opening, must feel still greater
qualification now. It has been altogetner 10
me duty of pleasure. For long period OF
INV lie it was my fortune to preside oyer one
branch of the General Assembly ofthe State OF
South Carolina. / would pay to that BODY
the tribute of saying that during the
whole period during which / discharged
those duties ! can call to my nina no

WAYS eXhu.."d in that body that it ls mem
ory of an honor that will remain with me to
the last day of my life. and now, gentlemen,
one of the greatest pleasures is that this seems
to me reunion OF the same kind. see SO
many of my old associates. have received
from them so many expressions, anu eA-
perienced so many recollections OF our re!a.
lions. that feel as if it were meeting OF Old
friends after some shipwreck, or after some
LONG period of tribulation. 1t Is really pleas.
ure to look again in your faces, to see the
sparkling OF your eyes, and to feel the throo-
bing oil your hearts-hearts that are now, as
they ever haYe been, true to the best Interests
of the Commonwealth. As for this convention,
will not speak in praise OF II. 1T is repre-
sentative assembly, and we need not be
ashamed Of it. Let its results speak and ap.
neal for It to the country ier sympathy and
confidence.
I think it fortunate that this voluntary body
has determined to continue lis sessions. II II
act as an undisni1ed and unharmonious oody,
it will accomplish nothing but. il 1t act IN the
same spirit that it has, If it avoid Federal ana
State politics ifit wage no war against the
State or the Uuited States governments, and
il 1t welcome to fts ranks, as we nave done,
gentlemen who propose to 90 good, who are
for wholesome laws, good magistrates, ana q
lust administration of the public funds; il it do
that il will have accomplished great end.
think we have done much to remove misun-
derstanding. and lnaugurate period OF better
feeling. and better conduct OF our public
affairs Thanking you again for the honor you
have conferred upon me, and wishing you a
safe return to your homes, bid you farewell.
and declare tits convention adjourned, snb-
iect to the call of the executive committee,
pursuant TO the resolutions which have oeen

cool, yet, ere the hour hand had
reached the X. everything was warm
and pleasant and bid fair to be
lovely day. And the heretofore
dull and monotonous day@Sun<lay''
fdull because we had no one to
preach, was made pleasant by a
brief yet. excellent sermon~,by our
young and talented brother, G. w.
Campbell, Of the Christian Church,
who, by the way, is steadily ascend
inc the ministerial ladder of fame
to the topmost round, which, if he
faints not, he viii ere long reach,
there to stand as a beacon light to
guide and direct life's wandering
sailors TO that celestial harbor
wherein we all hope to anchor
The sun hid himself behind the
western hills and the pleasant
moon cast her mild beams athwart
the heavens and made night beauti-
full, when the villagers wendell their
way to the village church where
prayer meeting was held by Mr.
Sam Yol1ley, a Jealous servant in
Christi vineyard, and one who does
not hide his light under a bushel.
Although he and as differ a little in
regard to the setting out of the
vines we go hand in hand in the
cultivation.
Some of our knowing ones say
twill snow about Easter. / can't
tell, however, l hope their prognos-
tications will not be correct.

save an extra so cents for our tab

Mr.. MCCoRD:-I saw sometime
ago a call for the farmers of our
county to meet in Pulaski, be-
ieve on the 1st Monday in Februa-
ry last, to oTganize'a Farmers Club.
Iaiso saw a form of a constitution
published, 1 think in the CITIZEN,
but alas that was the end of it as
far as have heard up to this time.
Why did it stop, for I know of no
step the citizens Of Giles could
take that would be promotive of
more good than a well organized
society of our farmers and mechan-
icss Some may ask what good it
can accomplish, its objects, dc. /
will give some subjects that might
be discussed and acted upon, that
we MAY have some uniformity Of
action; for instance, the labor ques-
ton. If there is anything in which
the people Of the South ought TO
have concert. of action this is one;
but it will be argued that all viii
not agree. That is so, but 1y dis
cussion and agitation the most in
intelligent and better informed viii
