warning. The preacher says, Now is
the accepted time," and tell you TO take
Judge Mackey's advice 10 "croas the red
sea, and hunt ford high up to get out
ofaYour present political bondage.
The Judge here spoke OF She intimida-
ton of coloFed Democrats and read the
SSttEsso law 5Pos: .!:e subject He said
wherever any man threatens or inflicts
injury ~ prevent you from ting he vio-
lates the law. Report him % trial jug
tice. and / will give him tne full benefit
OF the law when he comes before me for
trial. How. much better off is your race
now than when you we're set free? At
Atbcville one colored man said he WAS
better off, bat that he had voted with tile
Democrats for six Yeas. You are not
protected under this government. Why
docs hot Governor Chamberlain 20 to put
a stop to the trouble on the CombaEce
and the Port Royal Railroady He is
afraid to go there, for ne knows he has
done dcyilment enough TO incense any
people. If you elect good man like
Hampton, whom the people bonor and
respect, he can and will stop these riots.
Hi' word Of itself IL he were Governor
would stop them. That is the kind Of e
1
the colorcd race protected
| Question by colored man. Did YOU
not tell us to vote for Chamberlain?
that | was right then, for if Judge Green
made Delaney Governor, and he has
since been sent to the penitentiarv for
breach OF trust.
Question. What has a.come OF De-
lancy?
Answer. Oh, he was sent to the peni-
tcntiary but Governor Chamberlain par
doncd him, so don't give yourself any
more trouble about that.
! The Judge continued, unless Cham
berlain leaves the State believe he will
follow Delaney in less than six months.
While | am supporting the Democratic
State ticket wish to say hat it is not
result of any agreement | have not
asked any reward Of them, and would
consider it unmfnly to do so. Hep lis
my colorcd frie ads TO cleo. Wade Hamp-
ton Governor his time, and if the Demo
crats do not give you al your rights /
will be with sou to help overthrow them,
but there is no danger If this, for no man
with tie gar and the peace record OF
Hamr: N can lie. The whole of the
Democrats Of South Carolina cacnot in
ducc him to do wrong Intentionally
but If they wanted to they would be pre-
vented by the Constitution Of the United
States and of this State. To amend this
they would hive to get three fourths OF
the States Of the Union, and upon amend
ing the State Constitution you would
have the right to vote and could defeat
it. Your rights are as fixed for all time
to come as mine, and / expect to have
rights equal to any man as long as l have
breath. believe there will be an effort
made to put the State
UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
and wish to say here and through the
reporters to the world that the people o
my circuit are as strongly disposed to
sustain peace and order and TO abide the
law as any people on earth, and any man
who says otherwise will slandcr them,
l do not care whether il is Gov. Cham.
berlain or John J. Patterson or any 9th.
er man.
Peace reigns throughout the State with
a few exceptions and these are local
troubles for which Governor Chamber
lain is responsible. If he would stay al
home and attend to the duties of his
office instead of running after troops who
are not needed ne could STOP these riots
He is undoubtedly responsible for the
Hamburg trouble for to his insufficient
and corrupt app0intees to Office shown
thero the whole difficulty is due. Some
time since Gov. Chamberlain proclaimed
that the civilization of the cavalier and
the roundl cad we're i'll danger in South
Carolina and the people should organize
believe he was right and hope the peo.
pic have taken him at his word and are
organized to-day, He has taken Elliott
Tor mis- Attorney General and therefore
any prosecution from that Office is pre-
vented and he has had a man named
Brayton who never lived day in the
Richland circuit nominated for solicitor
so he is in no danger from that source
and tell you you are in danger and it is
time to organize. In conclusion, ladies
let me express my qualification at the in
terest you arc taking in this election. II
is highly becoming for it is your smile of
appreciation which steels the heart to
fear and the arm to labor in any cause.
60 on in the good work Whip the
doubtful men into line and we will win
this fight.
AT the conclusion of Judge Cookies
| speech, an intermission for dinner was
announced, and the hospitality of the
people Of Honea Path and vicinity was
unbounded. All present were amply
supplied with an elegant repast, after
partaking of which the crowd re-assem-
bled, and were addressed in eloquent and
ringing speeches from Gen. S. MCGOWAN.
Col. J. s. Cothran and Mai. John B.
Moore. We regret not being able to re-
main to report them. The meeting
closed without any occurrence to mar the
pleasure and good order of the day. A
strong impression was evidently made
upon the colored people present, and
many votes were 9-ubtless won for
