To the Farmers of Texas
If you want, the best gin you have ever
used, buy
THE EXCELSIOR GIN!
Pateuted and Manufactured by O. W. Mas-
Bey, Macon, Georgia.
Tliis Gin has been before the public since
1871, aud has glveu universal satisfaction
v herever tried. I have seut but few to your
State up to this time, but those few have
given perfect satisfaction. The Excelsior
runs light, gins fast, picks the seed clean,
and makes a nice sample of cotton. It is
simple iu construction; any one large enough
to put the cotton in the roll box can
feed it all day and not brake the roll. No
shaking the box or using a stick to keep the
roll going—no necessity for a self-feeder. I
am fearful they will not feed my gins as fast
as I would like, still they will do as well on
my gins as on any other. The faster the
gin is fed, in reason, if you have the power
to drive it, the better. 1 can feed this gin
fast enough to stall a common team, and
still not brake the roll. Of course, this I do
not advise. The gin Is bo constructed that
the saws have a new surface of cotton every
revolution of the roll of cotton. These gins
are of the beet, material and warranted iu
every respect. I have an experience of
forty odd years, i built the first gins Mr. D.
Pratt ever sold, aud 1 believe this to be the
best gin for any ami everybody to use, 1
cyer saw. That you may have an opportu-uity
of buying this gin, 1 have appointed
the following agents in your State, through
whom you can order, and to enable me to
fill orders promptly, please send them in

South Carolina Democratic Con-tion-

Wade Hampton’s
Address.
Charleston, Aug. 17.—The Platform com*
raeuces: “The Democaatie party of South
Carolina, in Convention assembled, au
nouncethe follow in*r as its platform of prin
ciples:
“We declare our acceptance, in perfect
good faith, of the 13th, 14th and 15th
Amendments to the Federal Constitution.
Accepting and standing upon them,we turn
from the settled in the final past to the great
llviug and momentous issues of the present
aud future. We adopt the Platform [of
Principles announced by the National Dem-ooratic
party, recently assembled at St.
X-ouis, and pledge ourselves to a full and
hearty eo-operatiou in securing the election
of its distinguished nominees, Samuel J-Tilden,
of New York, and Tbos. A. Hen-drieks,
of Indiana, aud believe that, under
the wise and just administration of its dis-tinguished
reform leader, assisted by the
eminently patriotic and wise counsellors by
whom he will be surrounded, peace and
prosperity will again bless our country, and
that, the dissentions, confusion aud malad-ministration
of the past eight years will give
place to concord, good government and a
thorough restoration of the Union, iu ac-cordance
with the declarations of that plat-form
aud the utterauc es and acts of our dis-tinguished
leader.
“We demand a geuuiue aud thorough re-form
iu the State of South Carolina, and
call upon all of its citizeus, irrespective of
race, color or previous condition, to rally
with us to its redemption, for it is evident
that, substantial and lasting reform isimpos-sible
within the ranks of the Republican
party of this State.
“We charge that party witli arraying race
against race, creating disturbances and fo-meuting
difficulties; with prostituting the
elective franchise, tampering with the
ballot box and holding unfair and fraudu-lent
elections; with having accumulated au*
enormous debt, mismanaged the finances
and injuring the credit of the State; witli
levying exhorbitant taxes and squandering
them when collected, thus wringing from
the honest poor man of the State a large
per centum of his hard earnings without
giving m return any compensation therefor,
and that it has hopelessly involved in debt
a majority of the counties iu the State ; its
management in the penal aud eharitable in-stitutiou8
is a shame aud a disgrace; we
charge its legislation as demoralizing, par-tizan
aud disgraceful, aud the venality and
corruption which has characterized every
branch of the government, executive, leg-
Islatlve aud judicial is uuparalled in the his-tory
of nations.”
The platform does not charge this state of
things upon the masses, but upon their
leaders. It proceeds:
We therefore call upon all of our fellow
citizens, i respective of race or past party
affiliation, to join with ns,in restoring the
good name of their State, and to again ele-vate
it to a place of dignity and character
among the commonwealths of this great
country; we discountenance all disturbances
of the peace, aud denounce all instigators
and promoters thereof, aud call upon all of
our fellow citizens, irrespective of parly
lines, to exercise forbearance and cultivate
trood will, and if the government of the
State is committed to our bauds, we pledge
ourselves to protect the persons, rights and
property of all its people, and to speedily
bring to summary justice all who dare vio-late
them ”
Columbia, 8 O., August 18.—The follow-ing
is the a ldress, rti full, which General
Wade Hampton delivered before the eonven-tion
:
Mr. President aud Gentlemen:—In ac-ceptlng
tlie houorable post to which you
have called me, that of your staudard bear-in
trie great struggle of reform which
you have beguu, I do so with the most grate"
ful appreciation of your kindness, and the
most profound sense of the high but grave
responsibility pertaining to the position. In
tin: better days of our country, when the
surest passports to official station were found
in the ability, the honesty and the integrity
of her public servants, the most distinguish-ed
sous of South Carolina looked upon the
Chief Magistrate of the State as the goal of
their highest ambition aud the best regards
of t.heir public service. If the men of whom
Carolina is justly proud held in such high
estimation tlie desire of being thought wor-thy
by their fallow citizens of the highest
office in the gi t of the State in the day-s of
her prosperity aud peace, how much more
highly should I esteem the honor you have
done me, by calliug me unanimously to lead
you iu this hour of gloom and peril? You
are struggling for the highest slake for
which a people eyer coat aided. You are
striving to get back to our prostrate State
the inestimable blessings, which can only
follow orderly, and regulates liberty under
free and goou government. We believe
that these blessings cau only be secured by
a complete change in the administration of
our public affairs, State aud national. Be-lieviug
this, our sympathies and our inter-ests
lead us naturally and inevitably into al-liance
with that great party, upon whose
banners are inscribed the watchwords of
Democracy—reform, good government., a
hard money and home rule.
'“You have endorsed and ratified the plat-form
of the Democratic party accepted at
St. Louis, aud in the planting of yourselves
firmly on that, you look forward hopefully
and confidently to victory, which you will
not only share, but to which you will have
contributed. The platform which you have
adopted here, is so catholic in its spirit, so
strong in its foundation, so broad in its con-struetion,
that every man in South Carolina,
who honestly ties'res reform, cau find room
to stand upon it With such a platform,
when the citizens of all parties and races
can stand assured of equal rights and full
protection, you eau surely bring back to
our destucted State the great blessings of
good government.
For myself, should I be elevated to the
high position for which you have nominated

Ed. Examiner and Patron:
Your valuable paper makes its
regular visits to our place, and is
welcomed by the members of our
Grange, as a most substantial friend
of our noble Order. Our Grange
has been growing steadily in num-bers
and interest since its organiza-tion,
and we now number fifty-nine
members, headed by one of the
best Masters in the State, who is
both practically and theoretically a
first class Granger. Our Lecturer
Bro. R. Pate, is always to be found
iu his place, dispensing to the
Grange the best information
to be obtained from the
first periodicals of the day,
together with good advice for
which his long experience has qnali-fied
him. Our other officers
and members perform their duties
Well in their respective places.
We are located on Wheelock
Creek, eight miles from Keechi sta-tion
and about the same distance
from the new town of Buffalo.
The valley of the Wheelock is
considered one of the finest farm-ing
localities in the State, eveu in
the very dry year two years ago, all
our leading farmers had a surplus.
Our Worthy Master, E J. Oden,
made that year, one and one-third
bales of cotton to the acre. And
Brother T. J. Oden, often makes 60
bushels of corn so the acre
The Messrs. Oden are engaged iu
the milling business, and are noted
for large bushels when selling, as
well as for low prices in time of
scarcity; they having sold their corn
for one dollar per bushel when otli-er
mills were charging one dollar
and fifty cents and two dollars per
bushel. They have two cotton gins
running by water power and a horse
power for dry weather; also, a sor-ghum
mill and evaporator, and
manufacture an excellent article of
sirup.
Our society is good, we have a
school, a thriving Sunday school,
and regular preaching. To persons
looking for a home, I would call at-tention
to the valley of the Whee-lock.
Come and look at our land,
and get acquainted with our people.
You can get first-class uplands, un-improved,
or improved, or bottom
lands on the healthiest creek in
America at a reasonable price.

Mr. Wm. J. Eicholz, Colettovllle, Victoria
County, Texas.
Dear Sir and Brother.—In the
Examiner of the 25 inst., I see some
resolutions from Steiner Grange,
No. 1140, in relation to the estab-lishing
of a German Grange paper
at some point, for the dissemina-tion
of Grange intelligence among
the farmers of tl > State, of that
portion of our population who hail
from the Fatherland, and devoted
to agriculture and horticulture.
Such an object and purpose is
praiseworthy and practicable, and
merits the very best efforts of all
your people, whether memhers of
the Order or not. It not members,
they then have the advantage of a
paper under the guidance and con-trol
of the largest agricultural as-sociation
ever known to the world.
The Order of Patrons of Hus-bandrv
is a grand organization rev-olutiomzing
not only agriculture,
but the public sentiment of the na-tion,
and are introducing new
thoughts aud ideas into the public
mind.
It is giving dignity to the farm-era
of our country and honoring
their occupation, and to that occu-pation
no people are more devoted
than our noble German farmer.
They are developing the resources
of our rich lands and demoustrat-ing
i lie adaptability of our soil and
climate to a diversified agriculture.
An organization that affords such
facilities should be commended by
every means and in every way pos-sible
to the favorable consideration
of the agriculturists of the coun-try.
I am glad to see this movement
on the part of my German brethren,
and sincerely hope, that it will be
pushed, with unrelaxed energy, to a
final consumation. I am also hap-py
to see the interest manifested by
the German farmers in this great
State, in this grand movement, and
trust it will be an instrumentality in
bringing about a social, moral, in-tellectual,
and material reformation
in that class of our population, to
which its great efforts are devoted.
Let unremitting effort guide your
course in this matter, and may it
be crowned with satisfactory sue-cess.
Yours truly,
Wm. W. Lang.
