THE ORANGEBURG NEWS
GEORGE BOLIYER,
Financial and Business Makaokk.
Official Paper of the ?t?te and
of Orangeburg County.
SATURDAY, MAY 81,1873.

Education with
i rflow lamentably many whitq^ujeu in
this' county are unablo to" writo*ti*TcS*i
names! Village lifo with its small c*on
fiue of duties aud ftt> uarrow world of
gossip ihuts us out from contact with
the rude ignorauce that prevails to an
alarming extent.
In some parts of this County taniitiea
and claus of men lead lives as savage,
untamed and heathen as the Indians of
the far West.
In other parts, witchcraft flourishes
? and the witch doctor plys a paying trade
out of the credulity, sup.rslition and
ignorance of the neighbors.
Of course this is not. general. But
the fact of such gross and barbarian
ignorauco existing near and around us is
startling.
Education is too generally neglected.
School houses arc wautiug or lire c'osed.
Teachers arc out of employment or arc
cling out n miserable life upon a salary
which is not even courteous thanks for
their labor.
The fau!t is with the people. The
School system is adequnto for the cdu
cation of all the indigent children of the
County. Compulsion is needed to deal
with the b'Udid und insensate ignorance
and bullishness that declines to scud
the children to school.
Let the School Authorities, let the
pastors, let the friends of education sec
to it that the law is enforced. Every
boy nnd girl most go to school so
m any mouths in each year.

whole country to the wall, and diminish

one half. This .of cour.-o signifies a
shrinkage of the entire business of the
country to the same extent. The laws
of the country, and the monopoly power
they create and 'protect,' have bocn

Said Donnelly.:
?'The men of 1770 rose up against'
JJngland .rather tfcan longer remain the
wretched victims of her '?no v igst ion
laws,'- whose sole objoct, in twenty two
separate acts, was to monopJ: e the
trado and commerce of the colouiej. We
suffer tenfold greater wionf, than tlio
colonies ever endured fr jtn a precisely
similar system of monopoly; we have
a remedy, by pcnceubl" revolution at
the bullot OOl, in.our own bands-, but
we seem to luck both the intelligence
nud the courage to use it."

News Summary.
The Russians are successful in their
Asiatic expedition. At last accounts
they have not only taken Khiva with
out much loss, put have also secured the
Khan as prisoner. A London paper
States that there is. talk in St. I'etcShurg
now of (he annexation cd' Bokhara and
Khokaud OS well as Khiva. The Kus
sian press represent that Turkey is tot
tering with misgovcrnmeut, und predict
that a time is coming when her troubles
will culminate, and Russia will then be
ubre to vindicate her interests.
One of the loading oflruors of the
Cuban iusurruction, Gen, Agrainonti,
was recently killed In an engagement,
which will prove a serious blow to the
revolutionists. One account states that
General sommitted suicide on the Quid
when he fouud surrender to the Span
ards inevitable.
President Thiers has made, several
changes iu bis Cabinet, and has thereby
apparently strengthened bis bold on the
Assembly. The programme of the new
Ministry is to organize the Republic by
! she enactment ef oouserva-tivc laws, and
wholly reject the Radical plans.
The financial crisis iu Vieirot has
resulted iu the failure of over one hun
dred firms, cau.-ing cenvtcruatinn' in all
|btanctns of bmriue?ff. The son of a
wealthy banker committed suicide on
account of his losses, and the citizens
generally arc greatly depressed.
The recent- election' through-out Spain
for Deputies to thd Constituent Cortes,
resulted iu- tfhe election of 1110 Minister
ial Federalists, '10 Extreme Radicals, 8
I i'liiernniioiiuiists, 10 iudtpoudcut Re
publicans, and 3D Monarchies.

there is no llOlliUUCUt to mark the spot
