made desolate before the appearance OF frost.
Up to Wednesday last nearly 600 cases had oc-
Cured, resulting In death list Of LOG. The
number OF deaths was equally divided between
the two races.
President Gage and the other members of the
Howard Association of the town have been as
stduous and uniring in the discharge Of the
phanthropic duties they have assumed and
their abqFs hay9 met WITH the enrnezt gra
citizens.
President Gage had announced to the country
that the Towards had sufficient funds on hand
to supply the needs Of the destitute sick and
eonvalescent, but the subsequent spread Of the
malady throughout the country imposes upon
him the necessity Of appealing for further
assistance. The destitution of some Of the
stricken ones visited by the Howards was abso-
of nhe 1P
and mosquito bars for the sick were lacking
and had to be supplied by the Towards.

Mr.. EDITOR > In company with some
friends attended the colored Sunday School
celebration at Providence Camp Ground on
Saturday, 18th inst. The day being propi-
tious, though very warm, a very large num-
Der of colored people had assembled at the
Camp Ground by clock a. m., and the
number continued to increase until about
IL o'clock, when there were present about
1900. The programme, exercises, &C., were
conducted by Reys. Fletcher, Carlisle and
Williams, all colored, in very orderly and
creditable manner The association is COM
posed of seven schools, numbering in all
about 500 pupils, and the orations delivered
by the representatives of each school were
alike credit to teachers and pupils. The
vocal music was very good-we must admit
that the colored people are hard to beat sing
ing. The Anderson colored band was
present, and occasionally discoursed some
lively music, which seemed to please the
majority present. Rev. J. Walter Dickson,
of Columbia, addressed the Sunday School
in very lengthy, forcible and instructive
manner, which seemed to be at.entively
listened to by large audience. After this
address dinner was announced. which all
present seemed to enjoy, as there was
enough and some to spare. Altogether, the
day passed off socially and pleasantly, much
to the credit of the colored people.

political aspiration whatever, but much

interest in the approaching campaign, and
to fight as hard for grand Democratic tri-
umph, as would do were candidate.
desire to give my friends this information
before the clubs begin to nominate, as it
would be more embarrassing to me to de-
cline after being nominated by several
clubs, and it.might likewise give them more
trouble. Here please permit me to return

most sincere thanks for their support and
kindness in the past, and for a renewal of
their confidence, which they have shown by
urging me to run for the high position of
State Senator. which, I believe, majority
of the County would, in their great kind

all candor, that your manifestation of kind

heart of mine continues to pulsate. dis

and in my legislative career, to the best Of

prouiest thoughts of my life to think that
my course has been concurred in and ap-

With the highest consideration of respect,

highly impregnated with strychnine

knowingly, sell melons into which poi

apparently fine one, Mr.. Smith had
singled it out for his own "tooth," but

REPLY.

FENDLETON, July -, 1oio'
To Messrs. j. M. Smith, Nathan Dawson, D.
L. Gam5reA, F. II. Glenn, L. G. Clayton,
and Others of the Slabto,cn Club:
Your favor of July Goth, expressing
your confidence in me as your represen-
tative for the past years, and expressing
your desire to nominate me at the pri.
mary election, soon to be held, for the
Senate, and asking me if am so nomi-
mated will consent to serve, he's been
received.
After the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture last winter, L determined never
again to be candidate before the people
for any Office, not that desired to shirk
a share of the responsibilities in our
efforts to restore the shattered fortunes
of tho State, but this determination was
formed simply that might give my con-
slant attention to my private affairs,
which have become somewhat embar-
rassed by my continued absence from
home. There are many other capable
and pure men who, without q doubt,
would faithfully perform the duties of
the Office of Senator; therefore I feel
bound to adhere to my determination,
and under all circumstances decline to
become a candidate. But should the
Democrats of Anderson County, at their
primary election this fall, claim that they
have right to my services and e1peri-
ence, and nominate me to the position of
Senator, would most certainly respond
to their wishes, no matter how great the
sacrifice might be to me personally, and
would, moreover, in the exercise Of my
duties of the Office. devote, as have en-
deavored to do in the past, my entire
abilities to the establishment of govern
ment that would secure peace, justice
and right to all.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for the
kind and complimentary manner you
have seen fit to address me, I remain,
very truly and respectfully, yours, &C.,
r. w. SIMPSON.
