Divine services were had in the Baptist
Presbyterian and Methodist Churches on
last Thursday in response to the request OF
the State Executive Committee of the DEM
ocratic party to supplicatc the support of the
Great Ruler of the Universe on our behalf
in the desperate struggle for liberty and
right now going on in our midst. -.
To our farmers we would say, plant large
ly of oats, and be sure to vote for Hampton,
and make note of all hands upon your
lands who vote the Republican ticket-not
to turn them off or violate your contracts
already made, but for the purpose of em-
ploying democratic laborers when your con-
tracts expire.
South Carolina calls upon her noble sons
to defend their sacred homes, their wives
and little children from the hands of the
vandal and the Goth by proper use of the
ballot on next Tuesday. We should restore
her government to its pristine glory, and
forever maintain its fame and purity un-
tarnished in the future-a bright legacy for
generations yet to come.
Not drop of rain has fallen upon DEM
ocratic meeting in this County, but the day
for the Republican meeting two weeks ago
was very rainy one in the morning. This
is propitious omen. Let us return thanks
to the Divine Ruler for the past, and beseech
a good deliverance for our party i'll the Na-
ton and the State on next Tuesday at the
ballot-box.
To the polls To the polls! must be the
Democratic rallying cry for next Tuesday.
If any man is unable to walk to them his
ncighbors must furnish him conveyance,
and where Democrat is too sick to ride he
ought to be borne to the polls on litter if
possible. We repeat it-see to it that every
Democrat votes, and our redemption may be
accomplished.
The Belton Democratic Club at its meet
ing on last Saturday adopted resolution
endorsing the Honea Path resolutions, agree
ing to close business and devote Monday
and Tuesday to working for the Democracy.
This resolution embraces the farmers as
well as merchants and mechanics. It will
be adopted throughout the County, and Will
result in giving Hampton and his ticket
rousing majority in this County.
The merchants of Pendleton have agreed
to close business on next Tuesday and work
for Hampton and success. AS soon as they
see the action of the Executive Committee
they will willingly close Oh Monday also.
Old Pendleton is never behind in her deyo-
ton to liberty and willingness to make sac
rifces for patriotic purposes. Her people
are wide awake, and will make great gain
on the Republican vote in that place.
Hamptons meeting in Columbia on next
Saturday is expected to be great day. 1t

mense display of banners, decorations, &C.,
have been made by the Democrats Of the
city and Richland County. Parties desirous
of attending will be passed over the Green
Vile and Columbia Railroad for one fare.

lumbia and return will be s6.35, and these
tickets will be sold on both Friday and

The consolidated meetings at Pendleton
and Gabriel McGee's to-day close the ap-
pointed meetings of the Anderson Democ-
racy. Our canvassers have done valiant
service, and will henceforth until the 9TH
watch to discover the fruits of their labors.
Our farmers must now begin their portion
of the canvass. Let every colored man in
the County be conversed with and secured
for Hampton. There must be no idling.
Every effort that is legitimate must be en-
ployed to win success. Every man must go
to the polls, vote himself, see that every
other Democrat votes and endeavor to in
duce as many Republicans to vote for
Hampton as possible.
