GODS WAY IS BEST.

This blessed truth long have known,
So soothing in its hopeful tone,
Whatsr our trials, cares. and woes,
Our Fathers mercy freely ffows,
That on his bosom we may rest,
For God is good, "His way is BEST"
Trouble without and. grief within
Are the sure heritage of sim;
And even affectiofi's voice may die.
In the last quivering, gasping sigh :,..
But what though death our souls DISTRESS,
'rwere better thus, Goods way is best"
Misfortune's dark and bitter blight
Nay fall upon us like the night -
Our souls with Anguish MAY up torn
When we are called DER friends to mourn.
But what assurance doubly blest.
To feel that sll .'God's ways are Dest."
Yes, glorious thought, in yonder sky
Are Joys supreme that never die;
That when our earthly course is run,
Wen live regions of the sun,
And there upon the Savior's breast,
Well sing for aye, Goods way is best ,sr

FLAT ROCK DEMocRAr1c CLUB.

The Flat Rock Democratic Club met on
Saturday, 26th inst. Col. ]. w. Norris acted
as President, and Weston Hays as Secretary,
in the absence of the regular officers. Dr.
w. c. Brown, of Bolton, was introduced to
the meeting, and delivered an appropriate
and patriotic address upon the political is
sues of the day. Capt. ]. W. Daniels re-
sponded to the calls made upon him, and
entertained the Club with some happy re-
marks. He was succeeded by Elijah Will
liams, (colored,) who made speech ofsome
length, renouncing and denouncing the Re-
lican party in the most positive and une-
quivocal terms, and declaring his fealty to
the Democracy, urging upon every colored
man present to take the same course. He
admonished his colored auditors to lay aside
their stubbornness, which was keeping many
of them away from the Democrats, after they
were convinced it was their duty and inter-
est to aid and assist in pulling down the
evils of corruption. The Club resolved to
participate in the ratification meeting on
Saturday next, and also determined to meet
every two weeks until after the election,
which is an example worthy of imitation by
all the Democratic clubs. Several names
were enrolled, and other applications for
membership have been made since the meet

reference to Miles case, and no effort made
to bring to punishment the other criminals.
The. Town Council made weak effort to in
vestigate it further on last Monday, but de-
veloped nothing. We hope the case will be
vigorously prosecuted, and that the lawless
and riotous will in future be deferred from
interrupting peaceable professions in our
streets.
There was union basket picnic of the
Changers and Democratic Club of Rock
Mills township at Providence Camp Ground
on last Thursday. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken
made an excellent address to the Changers
in the morning and entertained his audi
ence with practical and interesting remarks
for two hours and ten minutes. The crowd
was then dismissed, and enjoyed the hospi-
talities of the many well-flled baskets which
were prepared for the day by the ladies in
attendance. After dinner the audience was
re-assembled, and DR.. J. T. Cook, the chair.

After these gentlemen had concluded their
remarks, Messrs. D. Wyatt Aiken, James L.

and responded in short speeches. There

and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.

See to it that corruption in the govern
ment of the State perishes with this GEN.
tennial year.
Two months is not long time to work
for the good of the State. Every man
can do something every day during that
time.
Give US Hampton and decent Legis'
lature, and in one year there will be such
change for the better in South Carolina
that it will make your head swim.
Hundreds of thousands of workingmen
are out of employment in all the cities Of
the Union. The remedy of Grant and
the Republican party is to put the troops
in marching order.
The Attorney General has instructed
the United States District Attorneys in
Alabama to commence suit in certain al
legged cases of fraud and intimidation
during the late election in that State.
Hampton is pledged to be the Govern
or of all the people of the State, and
there is not man in it, white or black
Democrat or Republican, but who knows
he will keep his pledge.
The Sumter Watchman has kicked out
of the Democratic traces, and declines
taking any part in the canvass. It wants
Chamberlain, and calls him "the Pa,
linurus."
The hands all along the line of the
Combahee seem satisfied and have re-
sumed work, and desire to continue, il
protected. The arrested strikers have all
been released.

GERMAN LUTHERAN SERVICES.

3 The German immigrants in this neighbor-
hood enjoyed the privilege of religious ser
vices in their own language on Sunday last.
The services were held in the Presbyterian
Church at eleven o'clock, and were conduc-
ted by Rev. ]. F. Probst, of Walhalla, who
is the missionary of the Evangelical Luthe-
ran Synod of South Carolina, and has been
engaged for some time in preaching to the
Germans throughout the up-country. MIR.
Probst organized congregation in regular
order, and afterwards administered the
Lords Supper to thirty-two COMMITMENTS.
The services were solemn and impressive,
and witnessed by number of our citizens.
The immigrants regard this privilege with
great delight, and we are glad to know that
arrangements have been made to secure the
services of Mr.. Probst at regular intervals.
He will preach again on the fourth Sabbath
in November to the immigrants around An
derson, and we learn that he devotes one
Sabbath in every month to missionary La
bors of this kind. Besides the spiritual
benefit which must be derived from such
privileges, the regularity and certainty of
these services will tend to make these people
more contented as strangers in strange
land, and we are grati6ed to know that the
prospect for these advantages is now as
sured through the labors of Mr.. Probst, who
is gentleman of fine intelligence and e1-
alted character. Persons who are employ
ing German laborers in this section will
extend the notice of the November meeting
and will doubtless aid most cheerfully in
affording their employees an opportunity
for its enjoyment.

that have been organizing colored rifle
club in this County. wish to take this
opportunity to emphatically deny this re-
port. I am in favor of the colored race
living in harmony with the white people of
our country, for I have found them to be
our best friends. There is no reason why
we should be at difference for our interests
arethe same. What Injuries US Injuries them,
and what Injuries them will certainly injure
us also. am not member of any Demo-
cratic Club, but intend to join one, and
would take this occasion to urge my people
to go with our native white citizens. We
will lose nothing by such q course, but will
advance our own interests, and serve the
best interests of our State. We ought to
help put stop to the present corruptions OF
public men, and the Democratic party is the
party which will give honest government
and justice to all men.

THE NEW TOWN COUNCIL.

On Tuesday last the new Town Council
assumed control of our town affairs, and is
organized as follows: VIM. McGukin, In
tendant; John McGrath, N. K. Sullivan,
John r. Cochran and w. F. Barr, Wardens.
AS soon as the new members were qualified,
the Council addressed itself to the adoption
of some practical measures of reform, the
first of which was the abolition of the
Clerks position. The duty of assessing
personal property was devolved upon the
town marshal, and the remainder of the
Clerks duties were devolyed upon the In
tendant, who agrees to do the work without
salary. The next matter considered by
them was the marshaling of the town.
The present Council reduced the number Of
marshals to two, with salary of six hun
dred dollars for the Chief and four hundred
for the Assistant. Under this action the
Council elected Mr.. n w. Grant Chief and
Mr.. William Turner Assistant Marshal.
The saving to the town in the items of Clerk
and Marshal's salaries alone is over four
hundred dollars. The Council will enter at
once upon the work of reform, and we have
no doubt the government of the town will
be as economical and as efficient as could be
wished. The working of the streets is the
next subject of importance, and we hope an
entire change will be made in the present
plan. of work. One of the town mules
should be sold, and the number of standing
street hands should be discontinued. Hands
ought to be employed only in certain seasons
of the year which are favorable for work,
and then when no work can be done the
town should not pay them to idle. We
learn that these are the views of members of
the Council, and will doubtless be carried
out. So far we must say hurrah for the
new Council.

TO THE CoLoRED PEOPLE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Please allow me space
to address few words to the people of An
derson County, and especially to the colored
people, upon the political situation Of our
State. 1t pains me to see the trouble and
wrong which the colored people of South
Carolina are bringing upon themselves and
our State by supporting for office the corrupt
and selfish white and black leaders who
have misled them since reconstruction.
am proud to say that have never voted for
one of the political ring tickets. These
leaders who care nothing for us are produc-
ing strife between the races to advance them
selves to Office and whenever trouble comes
they leave the colored men to suffer for
their crimes. They only desire to use US for
their own interests and care nothing for US
as people. Our school monies are squan-
dered, and our children go uneducated. If
my race want peace and prosperity, their
best plan is to vote with the white people
whom they know. I have been voting the
Democratic ticket, and have never had any
difficulty in securing employment. Our
wages are low, it is true, but this is because
taxes are so high in our State. I can assure
my people that those who join the white
people will have friends, and can make an
honest living. If we could only secure an
honest and economical government, we
might begin to lay up something for our
selves and our children. The Republicans
have had control for eight years, and have
done nothing to reduce taxes and encourage
labor. Let us try the Democrats one term
and see if they will not do better. I hope
my race will look carefully into their own
welfare and at once organize Q colored
Democratic Club to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks and Hampton. They will ad-
vance their interests and the interests of the
white people by so doing.

ATTENTION
COTTON PLANTERS

II DESIRE to call your attention to the
Il new and wonderful improvement in
Cotton Gins, which consists in Revolving
Heads in the ends of the cotton-box, where
by the friction of the cotton running
against the ends of the cotton-hox is de-
stroyed. This improvement prevents the
choking of the Gin or breaking the roll, and
any common plantation hand can feed it.
1t does not injure the staple, and gins the
seed much cleaner than the ordinary gins,
thereby saving the planter all of his lint
cotton. For speed in ginning, I do not be-
lieye it can be excelled. AS to sample, it
will compare favorably with any other. This
is the 46th year of the Daniel Pratt Gin Bns-
mess, and during that time have made over
10000 gins. In Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas they are al
most universally used by the planters, to
their entire satisfaction, and the same tri-
umph is predicted for this State. Call on
me and see this Gin before buying elsewhere,
and am satisfied that when you see it you
will be convinced that the Pratt Gin will do
you good.

Agent for Anderson County.
