FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 1s, 1879.

l claim that it is not 30; but that
MIR. Robinson Was the true choice of
the people, and that the delegates
from the country as q general thing
camo up to vote for him. bat u large
uunbcr of them were turned, after
they came into town, by the arguments
Of the more influential frienls of NJ r.
Glover at tho Court House. AZ the
matter turnel out, in spite of the SO
conversions, the vote stood Clover 50
and Robinson 25; and I feel satisfied
if the delegates had been left to
themselves, and had voted according
to their own dictates, and according
to the wish Of the clubs they repre-
scented, that Mr.. Robinson would have
been elected.
The arguments brought to bear at
the Court House were, that it was
only short unexpired term, and
that it WOULD injure Robinson IN the
next general election, aud it was
best to let Mr.. Glover alone for the
little while, and Mr.. Robinson could
be elected the next time.
| know Of number of delegates
who were Robinson men. and Did me
80 i'll the country, but after they got
to Orangeburg, | found they had
changed to Glover men.
Now / do not write to cause dis
satisfaction in the party, but only to
let the truth be known. | believe in
sticking to the choice Of the eolven-
ton, hut in the future let this be q
warning for every delegate to think
for himself, and not to let others do
their thinking for them. This is tn,
only way to preserve the harmony of
the party, and keep it OH the winning
side.

ton in which that worthy was en-.
gagged in 1871, which will be read
with interest by his brother plilan-
thropists Mt the North. Mr.. Webster
was at this time presiding elder Ct
the A. NJ. E. Church for this district,
and his colleague in the swindle was
the tten pastor of Centenary Church,
since deceased. The mofus operondi
was as follows Webster went
around to number of jewellers and
purchased several secoud cla,,
watches, paying in most instance,
not more than the cases were worth.
The following Sunday he and his
reverend conspirator from the pul-
pits of the colore churches give oat

was successfully pllyel for several
weeks until, on one occasion, col re

in the course Of conversation with
Webster, that he would take one of
the watches which was out of repair

A Grand Day in Lower ST..
Matthews.
Hot Weather-Big Picnic, and Professor
Duncan.

MIDDLE ST.. MATTHEW'S.
July 18th 1879.
Mr.. Editor:
The friends of the Sunday school
cause in Providence and adjoining
Townships had been preparing for,
and anxiously awaiting the ushering
in of the 1'th day of July for some
time past-for on that day, as pre-
yiously announced, grand Sunday
school union pic mic and educational
meeting would commence to last three
days at Union Camp Grounl. Your
correspondent WAS fortunate enough
TO arrive pretty early in the morning,
and being anxious to fnd out the
days programme, made some inquiry
in that direction, and learned tha
Prof Luncan, Of WoH,ord, and other
distinguished speakers would probably
be present; but When the hour for the
exercises arrived, it was definitely
ascertained that Prof ID. was the
only one who had braved the heat
and put III an appearance.
After an appropriate song by the
united Sunday schools, Rev. j. B.
Plntt in few well-timed remarks,
introduced Prof. Duncan as the first
speaker. To describe the speech made
by this gentleman is beyond the pow
er OF your correspondent. He spoke
as only Prof. Duncan can speak (in
my estimation at least) t, the child
rcn, asking them many questions
which l think they answered to his
satisfaction. His remarks to the
older children, especially those made
in connection with certain persons
who were trying to hold umbrellas
between the sun S rays aud their un-
fortunate victims were exactly to the
noint,-as we know from per. onal
experience. His address was some
what lengthy, but did not seem to
tire the large and attentive audience.
At It's close, some more Sunday
school songs were sung, followed by
one from the Professor, and the hour
for dinner was announced. 1t would
certainly take mo ern epicure to
describe this purt Of the days pro-
grumme and such we claim not to
bc-but it was dinner, Il famous
dinner-one prepared by ladies who
understand to perfection the art of
getting up aSunday school picnic.
In our humble judgment this old sec
ton known as St Matthews cannot
be excelled for its excellent hou &C.
wives. But am DEPRESSING. Dinner
over the larger portion repaired to
the stand to listen again to the
Professors eloquence. The aftern oon
address was made in behalf of Wof
ford College, the theme being christ
ian education. This was the crown
ing feature of the day, and we hope
that it was Influential in secur NC
many new names on the edlowmcnt
list.
There will be preaching to- day by
Prof Duncan, and perhaps Sunday
too, but the distance, added to the
heat, is more than we can ell lure two
or three days in succession.
a word more and we will close.
The crops are suffering terribly just
now from drought and heat. In the
v,cinety of Providence Church it has
been about eight weeks since effective
showers have fallen. Corn is seriously Y
damaged, and cotton cannot survive
many days without material loss
