oration from the people testifes the
| gratitude and esteem in which our eau
didasc for President is held by all classes
OF society where he is bes: known.
Rev. Richard Fuller, D. D., one of the
moos eminent aud beloved ministers of
tbe Baptist denomination in ths country,
ended his labors upon earth on Friday
morning, goth Of October, in the 72nd
year of his age. His death was not un-
expected: rs his health has been failing
for year or more. lie was pastor of
the Eutaw Place Bar;is, Church in Bal
timOrc, which church was bullt expressly
for him. Dir. Fuller was native of
Beaufort, S. c., ard while he was study
ing law at that place, he was converted
under the preaching Of the famous rcvi-
valist, Rev. Daniel Baker, and afterwards
conoccrated his rare gifts exclusively to
the work Of the ministry. His intellect
ual powers and preaching abilities were
regarded wonderful and extraordinary,
and as Il ripe scholar he had few equals
AS kind, humble, devoted Christian,
DR.. Fuller was more widely beloved and
respected than for any of his cxtraordi-
nary gifts as preacher, and his memory
will be tendcrly cherished i'm grateful
hearts throughout this land. DR.. Fuller
was ordained minister in 1888, and SET
tied at Baltimore in 1847.
Free schools are the most sacred in
stitutions under the care OF our State
government, and the party which would
squandcr its funds would steal the prop
erty or destroy the liberty of any citizen.
The Republicans have sqiandcred the
school fund Of this State repeatedly, and
cur free schools have only beci. run three
months in the year. Oncthird Of the
amount due Anderson County for schot
purposes has been held back, and the
poor children Of the County have been
deprived Of the educational advantages
which were due them. Our people paid
their taxes, and yet when tt. money
reached Columbia IL portion of it stuck
in the State Treasury and was never re-
turned. Remember, c0l0rcd men, when-
ever you vote for Chamberlain and his
ticket you vote to keep your children in
ignorance. 1t is crime against the
Using generation and against posterity
foe any man to vote the Republican State
ticket in South Carolina. 1t is composed
of adventures, cOrruptionists and incom-
pctents. There is not single good nom
ination upon the whole ticket. A man
who votes this ticket is either politically
ignorant or he is thoroughly dishonest.
Governor Chamberlain, with all the
bayonets of the Federal government ut
his back, with all his boldncss and rcck-
less assevcrations, with all his shameless
disregard of truth, decency and honor,
and !Tith all his attempted intimidation
of white and colored Democrats, is sure
and certain to fail in his mighty efforts
"to make and keep South Carolina us
securely Republican ~ Vermont" His
name will soon sink buck into obscurity,
but his recent efforts to throttle II free
people will outlve the deepest and black
est of the hideous stains upon the politi-
cal annals of South Carolina, and his
memory US public man will so down 70
postcrity az the incarnation of q reckless
ambition, which would degrade his own
race for selfish purposes and political ad-
vantages. In striking contrast, we look
upon our gallant and honorcd standard
bearer, Wade Hampton, the honest
Latriot and sincere friend of humanity,
who is actuatcd solely by desire to de-
liver his native State from the thraldom
of thieves and merciless adventures, and
who will be proclaimed victorious by the
peaceful ba.!ots-mute and eloquent
symbols of freedom-cast by the honest
and undismnyed voters, white and col
ored, who have resolved to redeem their
homes and firesides from proAigate and
tyrannical rulers.
