Lock Box No. 116, Orangeburg, S. C.
We will issue :i paper as usual next
week. We cannot afford to suspend
The Times and Democrat even for
Christinas._
The Legislature will adjourn sine
die to-morrow. The members have
worked hard, and deserve the thanks
of their constituents for what they
have done as well as for what they
have left undone._
Texas must abound in colossal liars.
It now appears that the story recently
published from that State about a train
being robbed, on which a number of
United States soldiers were riding, is a
lie out of the whole ?-loth..
The appropriation of $61,000 by the
Legislature for the completion of the
State House was the proper thing for
that body to do. We hope the work
will go on until we have a State House
worthy of our grand old Common
wealth.
From the fact that the publisher
of Miss Rose Cleveland's late novel,
"The Long Fain," has made a proposi
tion to trade us fifteen copies of the
book lor advertising space, we would
infer that the book itself is having a
"short run."'
A\"e do not V-lievo in women preach
ers. To our way of thinking they are
out of place. It may be an old-fash
ioned notion of ours, but we believe
that women were intended to preach
around the hearthstones aud not in
public halls and churches.
Bishop J. C. Granbery, who pre
sided with so much firmness and dig
nity over the deliberations of the Con
ference recently in session in our town,
made a fine impression on our people.
He impressed them as a gentleman of
eminent piety and marked ability.
The SENATE in postponing the bill
to reorganize the State Agricultural
Department until next session only
'dodged the issue. It would have been
/??much more manly in that body to
have either passed the bill or killed it
outright. In our judgment the De
partment should be reorganized.
An appropriation of $20,000 has
been made for the Citadel Academy by
the Legislature. We hold the same
view in reference to this instituion that
we do iu reference to the South Caro
lina College. The money thus appro
priated would do the people more good
if applied to the common schools of the
State.
TiiE House of Representatives last
week voted down the Canal liill by a
decisive majority. It seems to'us that
the State has spent too much money
on this work to abandon it now, and
we think it would have been better to
have continued the work to comple
tion. "We hope the city of Columbia
will now take hold of it and push it
through.
It is with pleasure that we an
nounce that the Rev. S. 15. Jones. D. I).,
has declined the Presidency of Trinity
College, to which he was unanimously
elected last week. Dr. Jones is one of
the most distinguished members of the
South Carolina Conference, and his de
parture from us would have been a
great loss to that body as well as the
whole Slate.
gen. McClellan's book has been
published. It is Iiis o\> n defence of his
military career in the late war. It is
making a great rack' ', throughout the
North. As rar as we have noticed the
Republican papers have only words of
condemnation, in defending himself
McClellan, who was a Deniuerat, criti
cises severely the course of Stallten,
the most malignant and depraved poli
tician yet born in A inerica.
The House of Representatives wisely
postponed indefinitely the proposition
to call a Constitutional Convention.
The Constitution- can speedily be re
formed in every necessary particular
by submitting special amendments to
the people, and il will save time and
trouble hereafter il the Legislature
will appoint a sp! cial committee to
consider the whole question aud report
at the next session what changes and
modifications are desirable.
The bill pending iu the Legislature
which provides for a uniform system
of text books in the public schools of
the State ought to be killed. The bill
is not only unw ise, unjust and imprac
ticable, but it smells of corruption and
jobbery. It might do well enough to
have uniformity in the books used in a
county, but what might suit one coun
ty would not suit another, and to cover
the whole territory of the Slate would
do great injury to the educational in
terest.
Merry Christmas !
Next Saturday is Christinas Day, and
we sincerely hope that all of our read
ers will have tt pleasant and happy
time. Sorrow, in some of its various
forms, has cast its shadow over many
homes, but this is no reason why we
should not rejoice and be glad. Christ
mas celebrates the grandest event that
this sin-cursed world ever witnessed,
the birth of the Redeemer of mankind.
Then, why should not till of us lay
dowa our burdens at His feet, as He
has invited us to do, and rejoice and be
glad? We know that it is hard to
chase away the sorrows of a year, but we
should strive to do it, and make the
day one of gladness and joy on account
of the little ones with whom we may
come in contact. Don't mar their hap
piness by brooding over your past sor
row. The Columbia Record is correct
when-it says Christmas pleasures has
more solid attractions for the young
than those of any other season. The
mystery that envelopes Santa Claus and
his nocturnal visits appears strongly
to their active imaginations. It is the
sweetest delusion of this delusive
world, and so long as thp true character
of Santa Claus can be withheld, it
seems a sin to mar the happiness of the
occasion. Dear little souls! wrapt in
the blissful expectancy of Santa Clans'
visit, they send unintelligible scrawls
Hying with the smoke out of the chim
ney, which mounts for a while heaven
ward with their thoughts too pure for
earth. Christmas! the name is the
Aladin's lamp of infancy, and their im
aginations arc the responding genii
that bear them away to the beauties of
wonderland. He who would ruthlessly
or uselessly rob childhood of its happy
delusions is an enemy to the dear in
nocents, and would thus rob them of
their joys. Christmas is the gem of all
occasions and has a secure and deep
setting in the human heart.
The Experimental stations.
The Legislature has made an appro
priation of 810,000 for the establish
ment of two experimentul stations, one
in the lower part of the State and one
in the Piedmont section. The News
and Courier thinks this is a wise thing
to do, as "a single station could not pos
sibly cover by its experiments the vary
ing agricultural conditions in a State
which 'embraces so great a diversity of
soil and products as is to be found in
South Carolina, with mountains on one
border and the ocean on another. Such
a station, therefore, would have been
almost limited in its usefulness to the
farmers in the middle country where it
would have been placed, and would
havoHeft the Piedmont region and the
low-country alike out in the cold.
Under the present arrangement the
peculiar needs of these two extreme
sections will be fully covered, and the
intermediate section will be divided
between the stations and be represent
ed and cured for accordingly. Upon
grounds of policy, also, the establish
ment of two stations, instead of one, is
highly to be commended. No room is
left for jealousies, or complaints of
neglect on the part of the farmers of
any section, and the stations will re
ceive the more liberal and cordial aid
on this account. In addition to these
several considerations, moreover, it
may be confidently expected that a
natural and generous rivalry will be de
veloped between the stations to accom
plish the best results at the least ex
pense; and each station will in this way>
constitute an important balance and
check and incentive to the other. The
whole scheme is full of promise of good
to the farmers?and of course to the
State?sind we hope that it will receive
the earnest support of every intelligent
citizen in South Carolina."
No TarriirKeforin.
The National House of "Representa
tives lust Saturday refused to consider
the question of reducing the taxes, the
vote standing on the question of calling
up the Morrison tarriff bill 119 ayes to
15? nays. The members from South
Carolina voted aye with the exception
of Smalls, who, of course, voted with
Iiis political masters, the protectionists
of the North. This is a defeat of the
people, and can la;regarded in no other
light. In the language of the New
York' Star the "issue is growing more
plain every day. It is bctwei nthe peo
ple and those who are enriched by their
sufferings. The sixty millions of un
needed money will be exacted from the
fruits of their toil. Hut wrongs grow
fast, and arc sonn too heavy to be
borne. In the liberation of the work
ingman and the freedom of labor the
Democracy will lind an inspiration and
a duty.'
About So.
The Southern Christian Advocate
lakes occasion to remark that "some
evangelists and preachers seem to take
special pleasure in letting the public
know what awful sinners they were
before conversion. They talk so glibly
about their lives of profanity, intem
perance and impurity, and with so lit
tle evidence of shame, that, instead of
magnifying the grace of God displayed
in their salvation, we are almost tempt
ed to doubt whether they have been
saved at all. The truly converted man
cannot think of the dark record of his
ungodly and sinful life without experi
encing deep sorrow- and contrition.
Any reference to it is intensely morti
fying, and lills him with shame."

On the Rampage.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, writing to that' pa
per last Saturday,' says: "Yesterday
the sheriff and chief police were noticed
by a representative of the Bureau in
the State House building around the
Supreme Court room. Their actions
seemed rather suspicious, but the sher
iff would make no answer to inquiries,
and although the Reporter suspected
that these guardians of the peace were
upon the "lookout for some one, he
could obtain no definite information.
To-day it leaked out that these officers
were guarding Chief Justice Simpson,
as they had received information that
B. P. Welsh, of Lancaster, had threat
ened to shoot the Chief Justice, be
cause on the evening before Welsh had
failed to pass a law examination. The
Chief Justice was kept in sight by the
officers until the danger of his assas
sination had passed. The matter was
kept quiet and was known to but few
people in the city.
IU-Fntcil Calvejiton.
GAj.vestox, December 21.?A disas-;
trous fire broke out at 3 o'clock this,
morning in the residence portion of the
city on "Avenue K, between Twenty
first and Twenty-second streets. Thisi
section of the city is composed almost
exclusively of wooden buildings. The
fire spread with great rapidity, owing
to the water in the cisterns in the vi
cinity becoming exhausted, and before
the flames were controlled they had
swept over the greater portion of the
two squares from Avenue L to Broad
way, bounded by Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets. Twenty-eight
dwelling houses and two grocery stores
were burned. Much household furni
ture was saved. Estimates place the
total loss at $120,000. The total insur
ance aggregates 870,300.
His Prayer was Answered.
We clip the following from theSpirit
of the South, published at RockinghanjL
X. C: A very eccentric character if
Bertie county is name Leno. He is
married, and has several children, but
his life is an unhappy one. A few days
ago, after a more than usually lively
war of words with his wife, he prayed
that he might be stricken deaf and
dumb, so that never again could he
cither speak to a woman or hear his
wife's voice. It is asserted, on what is
considered good evidence, that his
prayer was answered, and that his loss
of the power of speech and hearing is
absolute.
Deatli of an Old Man.
AUGUSTA, Ga., December 14.?Steve
Bryant, 123 years of age, died from
fright at the continued earthquake
shocks at Beaufort, S. C, to-day. Bry
ant was in Augusta when Washington
passed through this city in 1791 .and
waited on the table at which the father
of his country was feasted. The .negro
had counted the shocks since August
31 and predicted that the hundredth
jar Jwould be the summons for judg
ment day. Beaufort experienced her
ninety-ninth jar Saturday, and the old
man could not stand the suspense of
the expected one hundredth and expir
ed in the paroxysms of fright.
The sheriff Sold.
On Thursday last Sheriff M. T. Holley
went to the premises of Irvington Pad
gett for the purpose of selling some
personal property, including two banks
of potatoes, which he had previously
levied upon to satisfy a mortgage.
After disposing of the corn and other
articles for sale, he went to the potato
banks for the purpose of disposing of
them; but instead of selling them he
was himself sold, for when he opened
one of the banks he found nothing but
straw in it?the potatoes having been
surreptitiously taken out.?Alken
