A rather singular experience is this

furnished by Mr.. John Lomax, to the
ALbeville Press and Banner. There
must have been screw loose some
where. Will some of our good far
mers of Newbcrry tell us what guano
does for their crops
Mr.. John Lomax who Is en- excel
lent farmer. was III our office yeSter'
day and gave lis hi* experience in all
experiment in raising wheat on guano-
ed land. He sowed bushcl OF the
finest seed wheat to be found. and put
Il hundred bushels Of cotton seed and
two hundred pounds Of guano on the
acre Of ground, expecting to reap not
less than fifty or sixty bushels. In
the Spring it grew off finely. and was
to all appearances the best wheat ever
grown in the community, headed out
long heads, the reighbors spoke for
seed. but when it was thrcshed 1t was
found to be without grains, and only
Ole bushcl and peck were realized.
Mr.. Lomax don't believe in guanos.
He saws he wouldn't distribute 1t on
the fields for it. In putting suano on
field Of cotton hr omitted the euano
on few rowS at various places IN the
field to test the advantages, and he
thinks it produced better where there
WAS 10 yuauO.

in four or six years from now the
white race will be in the majority in
this State. 1t is bound to come to
this, and if We show now that we are
willing to share the government with
them, We will get the same from them
when the white majority shall have
reached and passed the colored vote.
1t IS common scnse to do this, nothing
more. How can we expect the Demo
Gratis to give US a share in the govern
ment, when they obtain possession Of
it. if we don't divide with them now.
From this the speaker turned to the
movement for reform. He earnestly
urged upon his race the necessity Of
working fo' the great movement. He
said that he had been in the Union
army during the late war, but he for
one was willing to shake hands across
the bloody cha>m aud forget the past,
and unite with the Conservatives in
securing wealth and prosperity to the
State. Applausc.l

Col. DOdamcaG.

Some time since it was rumored that
Col. Dodamead, the Superintendent Of
the Greenville l. Columbia r. r., had
accepted position out Of this State,
and there has been no contradiction
to the report until now We find it
stated in the Greenvile Enterprise &,
Mountaineer that it is by no means
certain that he will leave his present
sphere Of usefulness. The many friends
Of this gentlemen, and particularly
along the line, will be glad to hear
this. Col. D. has been doing good
work on the road, and is fast placing
it in first rate running order.

Reform.

". II. Thomas, delegate from New
berry to the Independent Republican
Convention: spoke for reform i'll the
following conciliatory manner:
During the absence of the commit
tee, Thomas, a colored delegate from
Newbcrry Was invited to address the
convention. He made stirring
speech, in which the Bond Ring were
efFcctually shown up. 1t was time
that a stop should be put to crime
aud fraud in the State. 1t was time
that the country should understand
that the citizeus Of the State demanded
peace and good government. It WAS
a tallacy to say that in this movement
the Republicans of the State were
abandoning their party principlcs.-
The plain truth was that the people
in their might intended to rise, and
shake off the shackies of slavery and
political bondage. [Cheers.] The COL
orcd people had given evidence of
their earncstness by asking their white
fellow w-citizens to join them in this
effort. Intelligence and responsibility
must rule in the future, and the color
ed race must see to it that they were
educated up to the standard. BY har-
moDlz!ng it was not meant that either
race should give up its party priuci-
Piles. It meant cniy that both the
majority and minority should have
fair representation in the government.
Aud there could be no permanent
peace or prosperity until this was
established. [Checrs.] Ninety-nine
years ago the American people had
rebelled against the British Govern
melt because they were taxed without
representation. How could they ex-
pect large minority to submit 70 this
DOW. Applause.] Our white friends,
said he, must help us heartily. They
must not approach US with gloves on.
They must convince US that they are
in earnest and will join US in this effort
to reform the government and purify
the State. I believe they are in car
nest in their professions this time, and
1t remains for US to receive their prof
fered help in the same right spirit in
which it is rendered. Beyond a doubt

CAMDEN, S. c., September 80.
Ny DEAR GovERNoR-l avail my
self of an early opportunity Of thank
ing you, as a citizen, for your eminent
" wise, judicious, weli-timed and pa
triotic letter, and personally for your
very kind and fattering references to
myself. The sentiments you express,
coming from one whose public life has
been SO eminent and pure, must have
great influence upon the public mind
at this time, when wise counsel is so
much needed rightly to guide our peo-
! ple in the battle for all that is now
possible of attainment through polit!-
cal action. I confess the demands of
some of our OWE high-spirited and pa
triotic young men, counselled too, by
some of mature years, make my heart
very sad. But your words Of wisdom
cannot fall unheeded, and I thank
ycu for them, and take new courage.
If We shall fail to elect Green, 1t vii!
be the fault of the conservatives, but
I hope fer better things.
I greatly regret that YOU will pro.
badly rot be in Columbia at the con-
vcnticn, and especially that an imper-
feet state of health is the cause
Should Ibe nominated for congress. I
shall probably, quite soon thereafter,
be in Greenyille. 1t will be both a
duty and pleasure to pay my respects
to you on any such occasion.
I am, my dear sir, very respectfully
and truly yours, j. B. kERSHAw

An Appeal from a Prominent
Colered Republican Of Sum-
ter.

To my FelZo70- Citizens: We ought
to feel pleased and proud that thegen-
tlemen of South Carolina have placed
confidence in our word, and by their
meeting with Us the other night,
proved their belief in our wish for re-
form. To confirm this trust, we must
be careful TO nominate only honest
aud good men, not only from our own
but from theirs, to Eli Offices Of trust
and honor. Not one of those who held
ohees must be nominated; for, if not
bad men. they, from their fears, suffer
cd rascals to steal and bring dishouor
on our State. We now want bold
and, honest men, who are not afraid,
and cannot be intimidated. With
such a selection, all would fe>' an as
surance in our reform, and then
re would enjoy the wise, the honest,
and the united energy Of good men, and
our Stat, would be redeemed. Those
thieves, those carpet-bag scouudrcls
who have so long led US astray through
our fears and weakness, would meet
With the contempt of every honest man.
and return to the low obscurity from
whence they sprapg. Believe me, my
friends, those white thieves who now
congregate at the corners Of our streets.
and hold converse with our poor dc,
luded people, in short time will not
dare to address an honest co|ored man.
They used US as an instrument for
their thefts, and laughed at US in our
poverty. Every promise they made
us proved lie. Where are our home
steads and comforts of our families,
our mules, our COWS? Have we got
them? Where is the little money
that we acquired from hard labor, and
placed in the savings bank for sickness,
and old age? Have you it? No,
my friends, everything went into their
pockets, and they left us in want, to riot
in stolen wealth. But We know them
now, and they will meet the scorn and
contempt they so justly merit from
honest men. SAN JONES.

state that Col. Asa Buttertield is at

On the road to the wedding Of Miss
Sherman, October l, the horses at
tached to the Presidents carriage be-
came frightened aud ran off, near
Seventh street and New York avenue.
The carriage contained the President
and Mrs. Grant, Marshal Sharpe and
wife, but none cf them were injured.
The carriage was smashed, and the
President Immediately hailed another
team on the street and proceeded to
the church, arriving there about FIVE
minutes after the service commenced.
Horses have run away before and
will continue to do so, and carriages get
smashed. But that President Grant
hailed another team Immediately and
arrived only q few minutes after the
ceremony had commenced fills US with
admiration. 1t is another proof Of
his pertinacity. The words used are
not given, but it is supposed that he

Mondays Speaking.

The inability of Judge Green to
keep his appointment and address the
people of Newberry on Monday last,
was felt as a great disappointment by 4
number Of people who were anxious to
hear his arguments on the side Of rc-
form. Mr.. Dunn, on behalf of the re-
form party, made some remarks in the
morning as 4 prelude to what he wished
to say 1T night. In the evening the
Court House being lighted, a number
of white and colored citizens attended,
and addresses were made by Dunn.
Thomas and Cain. which were marked
with calm and diSpassionate reasoning.
1t was regretted by the speakers and
audience that the attendance was not
greater, but the fact that Judge Green
was absent, and also that the regular
republican party were in nominating
convention elsewhere, accounted for
the slim attendance. Whatever the
cause, it is to be regretted that the adj
dresses were not heard by a larger
number of people, for it is only fair
that both sides of the question should
be heard. 1t was announced at the
conc lusion of the meeting that the peo-
pie Of Newberry would be further adj
dressed, and that such time would be
selected and arrangements made as
would insure greater attention.

DceadfaY Earthquake at Anti

The United States flagship Rich
mond is here. a correspondent Of
the Star and Herald, writing from
Antigua, Guatamala: under the da:c
Of the 4th inst, reports that an earth
quake took place there the evening be
fore, at $50 P. NJ. without any pre-
viious warning. A stroug earthquake
shook the ground violently in the d.
rection from west to east. The move
meus was series Of strong vertical
and horizontal impulses combined -
The RaYe-like undulations on the
surface, rose and fell at least foot.
This, acting alt along with above men
toned vertical movement, made it al
most impossible to move about with
out being thrown to the ground. i'd
ed TO this there were piercing cries of
the populace, creaking and cracking
Of walls, loud sounds like thunderfrom
the earth beneath, the rattliag noise
of tiles, houses, and walls falling,
which altogether. formed hideous
concert which can never be forgotten.
It was=rery dark, too, and every
visible object was iu violent motion.
Long after the first shock had pass

inc but more or less distant. Sudden
" there arose hundreds of voices:
chanting a hymn to the Creator for
mercy. Shocks followed daring the
night Of varying intensities, every one
of which gave rise to new alarms and
new implorations for mercy: The
night seemed an age in length. For
tupately, no rain fell. About two
dozens house that were inhabited have
been destroyed, causing, as far as
could be learned, the loss Of thirty
.Bo lives. The number Of houses
damaged and which will. have to be
taken down, will be found consider
able. In Guatemala, the capital, shocks
were felt but Slight. The Indians say
that three villages at the foot Of the
volcano have been destroyed, though
this wants confirmation. The squares
