sEREHapE TO JUDGE HUDSON.
On last Tuesday night tho Anderson Pal
metto Band, in company with large num-
Der OF our citizens, serenaded Judge Hudson
and Solicitor Cothran atths Waverly House,
and, after some most beautiful music, in re-
sponse to enthusiastic calls, Judge Hudson
appeared, and thanking his audience for tho
compliment Of the serenade, said that he
was highly pleased with his visit to Ander-
son. That he liked the appearance Of our
town and its surrounding country, and that
he had not met more intelligent popula-
tion anywhere than he had seen in the as
semblage Of the citizens Of this County in
attendance upon Court, and that he did not
expect to meet one that would impress him
more fayornbly. BE himself was originally
from the mp country, having been raised in
old Chester County, but at manhood he re-
moved to the great Pee Dee section, where
he has since resided in Marlboro County.
That he had formed AN erroneous opinion
of the mp country. He had expected to find
1t denuded Of timber. washed into gullics,
and bleak, while it was quite to the contra
~. He had, since his elevation to the
Bench, been called by his official duties
into The up country altogether, beginning
his irst Court, by strange coincidence, in
his native town Of Chester. That from the
acquaintance he had formed with the people
Of this section he was not surprised that the
redemption OF the State began in upper
Carolina. That from the prosperity and in
telligence Of our people it was what mightbe
expected. he congratulated Anderson upon
holding the first great meeting that was
held in the campaign which redeemed the
State, and said that this, however. was not
all of which she might well be proud, for it
was this County-than called Pendloton--
which gave TO the nation its Calhoun, who
was the peer, not only Of any man of this
nation. but even, az he had heard the Hon.
VIM. C. Preston affirm, the equal Of any
contemporary 1tatesmsn Of England or Of
the continent of Europe; and also that the
same Comfy of Pendleton had given to the
country its McDufae, who Mr.. Preston,
himself distinguished. scholar and states
man, declared, in his opinion, to be nearer
Demosthenes than arg other American
orator. Tbs Judge spoke Of the peace and
growing prosperity Of the State, and urged
the people of this County to contin1s
In their patriotic and law-abidins course,
which would perpetuate the blessings
We now have. He said we must per-
petuate the redemption we have won, or, in
the language of the Red Shirt Democracy
OF South Carolina, we must "hold the fort"
After more beautiful music Solicitor
Cothrnn. was called for, and responded in
one OF his short, happy speeches, which
called forth frequent and hearty applause.
He referred to the present political canvass,
and said that he did not know that he could
say anything to the Anderson Democracy,
for they were united, and their course in
the past had shown that they know how to
conduct themselves; but that he would
riSk single word of advice With reference
TO our nominations anyway. He said that
we have adopted the plurality plan of nom-
mating candidates, and that after the pri-
mary election there would be great many
sore heads, and some of them might posi-
bly, be so sore that they would not get we'll
before the general election. He said the
only way to guard against this wa, to make
up our minds before hand to accept what
eyer nominations may be made. We are
watched BY willy foe, and the vote in An
derson County may determine the result of
the election n the State, and we cannot
afford to split up over nominations. We
must do like the bashful young man who
went to see his sweetheart and took tea
with her. While at the table one of these
buzzins black bugs fell into his tumblsr of
buttermilk, and as the fellow was too BASH
full to call attention to it, he provided an
other mode of getting rid of it. As he and
his friend were going home that night, John
said: "Bill, did not black bug fall in your
tumbler of milk?" Bill replied, "Yes."
nWell," said John, "what did you do with
it?" Bill answered, well, John, just to
tell you the truth, I swallowed butter
milk, black bug and ALL" Sc if any black
bugs, or persons you do not like, get nomi-
mated in your primary election, you must
make up your minds to swallow the whole
ticket, black bugs and all. If you do this,
everything will be well with you in the
coming canvass.
After some more music from the Band,
tho crowd dispersed.
