MR. EDIToR: It was the pleasure of the
writer to attend the annual celebration of
Ebenezer Sunday School on last Saturday,
the Sd instant. It was quite an enjoyable
occasion. A few words about it may not
be uninteresting to many of your readers.
They have good School ut that place.

superintendent, the indefatigat,a J. NJ.
Browne, gets the harness cleverly on
Much credit is due also to the earnest labors
of the ladies, old and young, in that com
munity, who are not going to be excelled in
any good word or work. The exercises of
the day were introduced by prce .ssion,
singing and prayer. The regular programme
for the occasion. was then entered upon and
satisfactorily completed. It consisted, OF
short, pertinent speeches and dialogues bv
the boys of the School, end ESSAYS and re.
hearsals by the girls. All did we'll. One
circumstance was noticeable: the prompter
had no prompting to do SO thoroughly
had the pieces been committed that, with
single exception, prompting was unneccs-
sary Among the dialogues was one acted
by three of the boys called ''The Rum Seller.n

After going through the part of tile pro-
gramme allotted to tho School, Mr.. II. l..

speech in the interest OF Sunday .schools.

cises of tho occasion were now concluded,
with the announcement OF dinner, and the
privilege afterwards of as much social en-

some more eloquent speeches were made in
the afternoon, but as they wero not public
the writer can't report them. As to the
dinner. oil that is necessary to say is there
was some complaining next day.

sERENApE TO JUDGE srEcx1Ey.

On last Monday Judge l.. Z. Bleckley,
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
Georgia, arrived in Anderson on a visit to
his brother, Mr.. Sylvester Bleckley, and on
Monday evening the Anderson Palmetto
Band, with number Of the citizens of our
town, repaired to Mr.. Blecsley's residence
for the purpose of giving our distinguished
visitor q musical welcome in the shane of
serenade. After the Band had rendered
two or three of its most beautiful airs
Judge Reckley was loudly called for, and
responded in short and unpretentious ad-
dress of thanks. saying that while he could
not produce music himself, he appreciated
1t highly, and sometimes indulgcs' its kim
dred muse by writing poetry that he had
recently been visiting the mountain scenery
of this State, and admired 1t very much
and that in his opinion South Carolina
with Table Rock and Wade Hampton. can
boast OF two OF the grandest objects in the
world.
After more beautiful music, Mr.. Sylves-
ter Bleckley was enthusiastically called for.
and responded by "Hurrah for Georgia and
South Carolina" after which, by request,
he delivered his celebrated Fourth of july
Grafton. and while iii the midst of reading
it his cardle was blown out, leaving him in
as bad condition as the school-boy whose
manuscript was blown away. This little
episode was soon corrected by the substitu-
ton of another candle, after which he
concluded, amid the cheers of all who were
present
Music was then rendered by the Band,
and those present retired to their homes
with pleasant recollections OF the even;ng

The Republicans of Anderson held their
precinct meeting on last Friday night in
vacant store-room In building occupied
by colored people near the ja;!, gh;c,. was
attended by about one hundred oolored
Republicans and two white Democrats, one
OF whom was representative of this paper.

the premises. The door ives opened, how

immediately. closed again, and was kept
closed the greater part of the meeting. II
was observed that considerable dissatisfac-
ton was manifested by members of the
meeting in being denied by the trustees of
the Greeley Institute the privilege of hold
ing their meeting in that building, and also
for being declined the use of the Court
House by the Clerk of the Court Their
displeasure was to some extent appeased
however, when it was explained that the
board Of trustees of the Greeley Institute
had passed resolution prohibiting any
further meetings being held in that build
ing of political nature, and that the Clerk
of Court not only declined the use of the
Court House to the Republicans, but to the
Democrats and all others as we'll, after
night, on, the reasonable grounds that he
is responsible ior the building, ara that
meetings at night endangers it's security.
Many of them were not pleased, though.
with this explanation, and continued to
grnmo'e and growl about being denied
privileges that tie white people were al
! lowed to enjoy. These complaints were
without cause, az the trustees acted wisely
in forbdding the use of public school prop
erty for political purposes. The only fault
10 be found with them is that they did not
take snel. scc..!!ac::. sooner. as lax us being
