NEW COTTON
The first bale of new cotton for Ibis sea
ton was brought to this market on Thurs
day lust by N. M. Rilcy, anil purchase I by
Geo. H. Cornclson at 14J cents per pound.
This augurs better limes, and we hope soon
to see our merchants busy again.
T he Northern press seems terrib'y arous
ed on the initiation, but in our opinion (hey
magnify a great many things. "No man is
in danger of his life here who behaves him
self. And ccriuinly those who make incen
diary speeches uro not loveil in any commu
nity. Wo arv in for a penceuble settlement of
the greul ques.ionB before the country.
The funeral service of Miss Fannie Dibble

in sorrow, paid this last sad rite to the
mortui remains of a departed loved one.

L. ('ass Carpenter, editor of the Union of
Columbia is spoken of us Elliott's successor
in Congr ess. That distinguished representa
tive of lbs colored race, could find no abler
man nmong his white brethren here 10 till his
chair. Mr. Carpenter has done a great
amount of good work for the party in this
State, and has, wo believe, the confidence of
I he Administration at Washington.

Cel. Mosby and Payne of Virginia were
to settle a little nwMor between themselves
the other day, according to the code of
honor, but a poicc loving Ju Igu, hearing of
the difficulty, ordered thearrosi of Mosby
nnd put hioi under a bond of $5,000. This
it is fUlppo 1 will cud the matter.
P. if.?1 i.c matter has been amicably ad
justed.
SOMETHING GOOD?
Mr. Augustus Fischer holds forth at Ihe
corner yet. Fischer is a clever man in
more than one respect, and has built up a
trade which is equal to that of any grocer
in our Burg. Reliable nnd fair in his deal
ings, he has drawn (o his storo an array of
customers who owcar they will never go
back on Fischer. He will lay in a Fall
supply in a short timo when wo will "pull "
him as ho deserves. Meantime, givo him n
call all yo that are fond of good groceries
nod liquor.'
The Edisto Sociil Rifle Club was organ

officers:
President?James F. Tzlnr.

several weeks past, with a slight attack of
erysipelas, lie publishes a statement of his
conduct as Treasurer, which will explain

settlement with the Auditor shows that he
has vouchers for all he paid out while Treas
urer.
SO I, I CITO II UUTT/.?
Is sweeping everything in Chlfr'estou
County. Hardly a meeting has been held
down there at which he came out behind.
It seems that his friends are determined to
send him to Congress. In this County ha is
the only man talked of. lluttz is a hard
worker and will do us some good in ("on.
gress.
John Grimes, one of Governor Moses sup
porters, and recently from the penitentiary,
was examined by Trial Justice Girardcatl
on Wednesday last, cn a charge of grand
larceny. He was bound over for his ap
pearance to the October Court of General
Sessions, when we hope he will be sent back
10 General Dennis. There will not be much
danger of a pat don being granted to him by
Gov. Chamberlain.
The Inst Harpers Weekly has acut of
Moses dealing oe.t pardons to convic's in the
Penitentiary; The face is exactly like
Prank's, but the size of his feet and hands
is exaggerated. We heard of his putting
nit somebody else's shoes and gloves one
night through a mistake, and they were
respectively No. l's and 4's; that is to say,
shoes l's and gloves 4*8. Try it again, Nast \
Rowley and Jones, the Georgetown riolersj
have signed an agreement tobe friends. Sol
we will have no more wars in Georgetown!.
The quiet citizens of that place will now
slcrp quietly of nights. White wingwd
Peace has supplanted the cruel Mars, and
lite Revenue Cutler lies quietly in the wli
lers off Charleston. Jones will repack Iiis
old joinnals, mid L-owlcy will go on maki'ng
speeches.
THE TIMES?
Mr. Si ties It. Mcllichamp hos assumed
contitl of the editorial columns of this pa
per, while our friend Whitehead, its former
editor, continues with it in the capacity of
publisher nnd business manager. Mr. Mel
lichninp is a graceful antl pleasant writer,
and we welcome It tin again 'o the editorial
fold. His conservatism has always been
marked with that degree of liberality which
ever won for his 11 iterances a careful co -
siderution by his political opponents We
wish the TiMtt success.

A mutch gi.me of Base Rail was played at
Louisville en the 21st inst., between the
Blue Slocking Club of Orangeburg, and the
Rattlesnake Club of that place, and was won
by the Blue Stockings by n score of fill to IS,
The return game will be played a t this place
on the 2n I of September. After the game
was over, the olubs repaired to where a
splendid supper awaited them, and where
the evening was passed away in song,
joviality and sentiment. Mr. Primus
Berwick a crack player of the Blue
Slocking Club, occupied the Short Slop,
at which point he caught a ball whish
was struck right from the bat, and by which
cinj) He mail re he put out two of the Rattle
snakes.
-4A* UNSURPASSED SUPPER?
A supper, which was prepared at the
oxpcnsu of the Aurora Base Ball Club of this
place for the entertainment of their visiting
guests, the Kershaw Base Ball Club, was
given on Thursday evening last at
Mcroney's hotel nnd partaken of by tho two
Clubs and their friends. It was a spl endidly
gotten up affair, and reflected much credit
upon the successful perse vorn nee and good
taste of Mr. and Mrs. Meroney. The table
was filled from end to end with all sorts of
gootl things for tho inner man. Upon it
were spread in abundanso such substantial
us turl oys, bums, shots, beef nnd chicken,
with breatls of all sorts. Other goo 1 things
were plentiful, such as chicken and lobster
salad, piokled cucumbers, peaches, melon
rinds, grape jellies, citron preserves,
peach preserves, pound oake, sponge cake,
jelly cake, cocoanut cuko, ami candies and
nuts of all kinds with apples, peaches and
oranges to wind upon.
The supper was enjoyed by all prcsont,
and adds another laurel to Mr. ami Mrs
Heroney's success ns hotel keepers. What
would Orangeburg do without this Hotel.
