According to the County Chairmans
call and ptccinct Chairmans notice a
large mass meeting of the voters If
Lewisville Precinct assembled at Lewis
vile on Saturday August the lst, to
elect delegates to 60 to the Convention
to be held at Orange5urs c. H., on the
18th, inst. AS usual, there was great
pow-wow, rs to vino would be the per
manant Chairman. About the h ,ur Of
10 a NJ, MIR. G w Caldwell Precinct
chairman endeavorcd to call the meeting
to order. but found that the chair had
been supplied by one sore head, who
expected to advance his own interest,
by so much assumption, but the ch air
man who is never at IS, as to how he
should act on such occasions very
quitcly withdrew some two hundred
yards, and in fact more central place.
the crowd Generally folowin; anil
called the meeting to order, st.t.d the
object, and was unanimously !clcctcl
pcrmanant chairman. The me ,tin,
transacted all the business before it for
consideration in a very ORDERLY and
short space Of time. The bogus meet
ing continued in session for some time
quarrelling as to who should be the
contestants. Judging from the action,
ct some two or three, two or thrc.
tickets will be put before the people
this fall in Orangeburs County.
About the time tn, regular

OF II = Cooke Esq, Trial Justice
bceins removed becam, prev alent-the
most intense excitement prcdom mate
Tor while, the meeting sympathisine
with Nlr. Cooke and condemming the
action Of Gov. Moses, many sweariar
that if Moses ever had any chance in
Orangeburg County for reelection, the
last vcstige of II chance had been re
moved. | learn that Gov. Moses sent
for MIR. Cooke to com to Columbia,
and see from the papers that he went,
ard see the result ofhis interview.
The Cows action seemingly w,uli
convey the idea that he has got the
absolute power to rcrpetuate his posi-
tion for life, but if all men were like
MIR Cooke (who is poor and can scarcely
afforl, lecuniailly to act independent
would hold out and make no concession
to this corrupt head f our State. Gov
Moses would be compelled to rely on
his merit for re election, and in thai
event instead Of bcein; sent to the
Huhernational scat this fall woul meet
more appropriate place under the
confines of John b Dennis.
The Orangcburg Aurora Base Bill
and Lcmisvilc Pioneer Base Ball Club,
played match game on the grounds of
the Pioneers. The game was intcrestin,
and was witnessed by a largo concoursc
OF people great many from Orange
burg being present Among the nun
Der was his Hon. j w Aloselc, both
sides played well, the number Of! scores
being Aurora 4'-Pioneors 81, tho
beating eleven, small beat considerin,
tho practice Of the two clubs, one with
three years practice and the othcr but
about three months. The visiting club
were well entertained, and friendship
and harmoney was the order Of the day
and in short time the game will be
played again, ut tho Auroras ground.
The crops around Lcwisvillo are look
ing very we'll considering tho wet sea
sons-no sign of the caterpillar, and
very little rust. Politics are loud and
high, lively campaign ha. already com
menced and bitter sarcasm may be
expected.
In conclusion let me intreat YOU to
watch Moses and his spies as assasina
tion is the order.
