Middle Pen COlOred Club.

A meeting and parade of the Mid
die Pen Colored Democratic Club
was held near Mr.. John Shuler's
place on the Five Notch Road on
Tuesday I1th inst. About forty
men were in ranks dressed in red
jackets, and banner with, "In union
there is strength" inscribed upon it,
gave laudable enthusiasm to the oc-
casion. The club marched up the road
two or three miles under the leader
ship of Captain or President Frank
Brad and returned to the place of
meeting amid the cheers and shouts
of several hundred white and color
ed citizens who had assembled from
all sections of the surrounding coun-
try to enjoy the festivities of tho
day. Notable among this large
crowd of colored people were hun
dred or more women; the wives, sis
ters and daughters of the colored
people, equally rs enthusiastic as
their husband and brothers, reioici ng
in the display and seemed proud of
the honorable bearing of the mem
bers of the club.
Under the shade Of several large
oaks, n stand had been erected about
which the crowd gathered to hear
the speaking. The first speaker an
nounccd was Mr.. Henry Thomas,
who, in few eloquent and we'll
timed remarks, addressed hmsef to
the colored people, telling them thnt
the Radical party had been dismem-
bered, its leaders had been driven
from the State with we'll filled pock-
cts leaving the colored people to
take care ofthemselves as best they
may. The speaker very aptly illus
tratcd his meaning by rotten, sink
ing boat, out Of which the old rats :,
after gathering up the plumber and
valuable spoil, had escaped leaving
the mice aboard the sinking craft in
an uncertain sea. These were ex.
horted to abandon their dangerous
position and to seek refuge and safe
ty on board the Democratic ship.
The next speaker was Mr.. j. Ham
Fielder who, in very earnest and
iervcnt manner, instructed the col.
orcd people as 10 their duties in

Miss Anna Keitt.

Mr.. Editor:
We like to give special prominence
to this beautiful and occomplis he'd
graduate of the Augusta Seminary
Va. She has just returned to her
ancestral home, decked with the most
brilliant distinctions the College
could confer.
SHE has the "star-mcdal,' given
for the best English Essay, a gold
leaf for excellence in vocal music,
and first honor for ins trumental. Be-
's'ii'as this she has two other medals.
These medals are of pure gold, aI1'
so is Miss Anna herself. both in per-
son and character. Personally, ma
ture has done. apparently, all that
could be asked for her, and in char
acter, she is olren and ingenious, in
noccnt MS mere child, kind and af.
fectionate, unconscious of tho attrac-
tions she presents to the admiring
crowd around her.
Marlborough can justly be proud
of Miss Anna as one of her best con-
tributions to the world Of intcllectu-
al and personal excellence. 1--WE
gladly welcome her back to her old
home, and wish for her future life,
all the happiness that she can rea-
sonably anticipate.
We add a single word, by way of
caution to adventurous knights, who
may wander in that direction, thae if
not already we'll acquainted, they
may possibly make the mistake of
bowing to very near relative Of
Miss Anna instead of herself, as she
does not monopolize all the beauty
ofperson, or brightness of intellect
that can be found under the roof
where she resides.

upon their qualifications.

pledges sufficient division may be
effected to give us the county at the
next election, and finally n complete
absorption of the colorcd vote. Be.
sides, we should remember that the
Democratic party is i. the minority
i'll this county, and, if we wish to sue
cecd, we must be united in order to
put forth the most heroic efforts to
secure sufficient number of colored
votes to give us the election. Igno-
ring the colorcd vote will not do, in
timidation is out Of the question,
counting i'll is discreditab!c, but fair
and honest dealing upon the platform
of 1876 will carry the election in
Orangcburg county.
Upon the subject of counting in,
Gov. Hampton speaks distinctly:
! have heard rumors about fraud
and counting in. 1t has been said
that the machinery of election is in
our hands, and that we could easily
count i'll our candidates.
Let those who think so Danish the
thought. tell you, people Of Barn
we'll and of South Carolina, that if
once you countcnance that sort of
thing, in very few years the people
of South Carolina will not be worth
saving. That policy can't be success
full, for the men who now constitute
the j. cturning Board would die be-
fore they would pcrjurc themselves"
Such thought, and we suppose it
has been INDUCED by very many i'll
different sections Of tho State, has
done rs much to weaken the party, at
home and abroad, as any other rumor
put in circulation by thoughtless
Democrats. TO say the least of it,
it is unmanIy and unbecoming high
minded an1 honorable people.
We may have imbibed much from
the corruption Of the party which
has just closed its disgraceful reign
i'll our State, but surely we do not
mean to follow its corrupt practices
or to initiate its fraudulent transac-
tons. If 80, the very means en-
ployed will sink us to rs low depths
as the Radical party occupies to-day :.
It's infinitely better to make the effort
OH the principle of right for rights
sake. H ere we will have the mora
strength of unviolated pledges, the
aid of Gov. Hampton to the utmost
of his abilities, the influence of the
National Democratic Party, and the
approval Of our own consciences.
No more enobling sentiment can
prompt the citizen than that, which
gave earnestness ag sincerity to the
speech of Gov. Hampton: 'HE Will Will
give my life to my State, but I can
not sacrifice my honor, even for
her.'

p'ained the process by which amend

Mr.. Whitehead (celored) was next
introduced and gave a brief history
of his connection with the Democra.
tic Party and Of the club to which
he belonged. His eloquent words
made a deep impression upon his
hearers as he both advised and ex-
horted his colored friends to cast
their lot with the Democrats of tie

leader the colored people had moth

the continued rule of the Democratic
party.
