COME AND SEE I The Bovh and Girl? are rei|U0ntcd not to inii;s calling for New Cards for their Scrap Rooks and Collections IHS?B0?1 EOHS'S GRE^jlT DRY GOODS EMPORIUMI THE FfiSCfi QUESTION Editor Orangtbury Times: I hope I wont tire your forbearing patience, or your renders. As I start ed out in vindication of my own rights, and that of the people on the fence question, 1 do not intend to surrender or forfeit my position. As long as any one advocates such a rad jeal anil ruinous principle as to pass a no fence system, he may expect to hear from mo. My platform is broad enough IbralJ^ mn\ will be well repre sented when tested on the fenceques tion, and J have a key note for all op ponents. nS<? Mr. Ktlitor, I beg leave to handle Tooth (rick, and put him in some shape. A Tooth pick too thin, or too blunt, or wry pointed, is of lit tle service to any orte; and the first defect I notice in Tooth pick is that he is too thin; hu misrepresents our worthy rcprcscniitive, Dr. Summers, by -ttssortiMg that he called on the far mers to discuss the n?-fcncv question Now for Tooth pick's benefit I will re fresh his memory, as to what Dr. Summers said and what the papers said for him, at the same time to let Tooth {tick know that Watch is in better condition than he imagines. The call was for real estate owacts to discuss the question, as be thought there would be an effort made this fall by petitions to Urn General As sembly to have the law passed for the greater part, if not for the entire Conti t^y. That, was why 1 fleiv off the. Hugos, for i considered it a r uostion that all were equally interested in. Some are silly enough to make our fore fathers out as numbskulls' and idiots by saying tliej had old fogy notions and carried a stone iti one end of their mill bags for balance. 1 im agine the other cud contained home raised corn, ami when they wanted bacon and lard I guess they found it in their smoke houses, free from (lie merchants lien, ami if our legislature would t urn a deaf ear to party and favoritism and give us a wholesome law that would apply to all alike, re putt ing every farmer to keep bis crop under a good fence, we would thon turn back tout he practice of our foviY fathers, and, instead of depending on the western market for our bacon and corn, it would be raised at hone, i cn a tend that stock can be raised in 1 this country to advantage in many respects and save money in the pock ets of the farmer. For instance, you can have your lots well littered, a lit fie lime and salt at hand to scatter over your litter and tramped by your . hide bound bound stock, rake and pile every two months and replenish your lots when needed and you would have less fertilizers to pay for in the fall, and occasionally you would have a fat beef to kill, the hide cd* which would serve you wi h shoes. The same attention paid to hogs would furnish you with bacon enough for your own use and some to spare. Though stock needs attention. Von might as well imagine a locomotive could run without lire aud water as to believe :i cow could fatten on chew ing of her cud alone. There has been a great (leal said about raising stock to advantage in pastures. Why is it so? Becauseattention is given them and the rogues can get their meat in the woods with less risk of detection. But adopt the no-fence system uiiii it will exclude so many from pastures that starvation will force many rogue.-, on us and the midnight prowler will he as familiar with you.1 pastures as you are, and when you realize that you are raising stock for the rogues you will abandon the idea of raising altogether, and just what you w mhl adopt your neighbors would also, and the price you have paid for liny this year will give you a faint idea pi what bacon would be, if there were no stock raised in the state. The no fence system would keep immigrants back, and our labor wou.d be confined to, and monopolized by the large real estate owners. After they got as many hands as they wanted, they would rent the remainder of their lands to the trash gang and hominy caters, iml the small farmers would have to ?do without labor, for it is human na ture lor a mail to invest his money in the safest manner he can, and the ! binds would be sought after as a safe investment and would bo good until Jod Vailed upon the earth to give up its dead, and not until then would they lose their titles. When immi grants start out for a country, it is wit Ii the hope of getting a home. Gould they get one here'/ 1 say nev er, nevei under a no fence syst em. And as 1 said before, there are two sides to a picture, and the citizens of Orangeburg County had better open their eyes and think a little for themselves and not rely too much on what Generals, Colonels, Majors and Doctors, with due respect to these gentlemen, have to say on the fence question. Tooth-pick guessed right when he said I lived on some swamp. If he will conic up antl condescend to partake of the hospitalities of ah humble farmer in n log cabin, 1 will take pleasure in giving him <t day or two of ?poVt, catching red-breast pcrcg and rock-lish out of the waters of South Edisto, feed him on milk and fresh country butter, tlt?t ts far superior to the gilt-edge .go-hen but ter iu !* thtvor,?and strange to say, nevertheless, it is true, I never give my cows as much as shucks, as na ture has provided for them, for the canes v'are so thick that when a cow gets into them she never get, out until she eats her way through, and 1 will guarantee lie will return home a wiser and better man after I lu?.ve r it bed tltu nonsensical lumps and knots oil'of his cranium. His brain then would act more with the honest dictates of his heart niftier a free and a full con viction. that the no fence system would'hot suit his people. Is thus uot a blessing for a poor man? (Jan you blame me for being in favor of,a* fence system? Tooth pick lifts made a powerful grinning I face over the old nils that our fore fathers traveled, wants to hlaxea now road though.. I prefer to go round? I have trieil these cut-oils and found them further, and often had to turn backv Tooth-pick's cattle must he of a small breed, or the buzzards of enormous size wheil one can sail around the.inoon with a full grown ww i? its claws and a yearling in its boak.to balance him. I would tub vise Tooth-pick to cross his stock. Or leed on strichuihe,: for 1 know it is a flg^t-rending sight to a lover of milk; ami butter to see his hist till Ik cow sailing in the elements under the wings Of a buzzard. From all ap pearances Tooth-pick's logic- on the no fence system, as far as he has goncj indicates that he is a gentle man of sonic intelligence, and should know>lietter than to try to force such logio as his on the minds of a free ' people, and while I tun obliged to him lor the" liberal oiler of sixty cents from ;h is no fence friends, yet 1 think thcywfiad better keep their spare chanir^. to have rails split to repair rtJttctV.^dovVn fences that have been negrce&d-by theni waiting for the no fe ice system; and long may you look for it lie vor to be realized in your day. tbr the voice of the people will rule. So Mr. Tooth-pick, 1 won't have any ail vantage of you in death, if you arc able to pay for the rail splitting. You shall haw- your grave encircled with a ten rail fein ?', staked and ri.l r 1, with a on 1 ! a pine growing at your head t<? shauc that sacred spot to remind Von, when the mast is falling, in one hundred years to come that people still use the maul and wedge t hat you now condemn. W AIT II. * UNION *MKtfTIX<L fStilnt' Owrijyebury Times : The Union of the first Division of tile (')rangcbttrg[Association met with the BaptistChurchat Lewis vi lie on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 27th, ShSth and 2Uth of May, INNl. The Introductory sermon was preached by Kev. 1. I>. l'riekctt, on Friday, ami the charity scrmoii by Kev. T. M. (ialphin, on Sunday, to a large audience. The olllcers for the session arc Rev. J. M llerloug Moderator, and S. M. Kern merlin Clerk, who serve until the next meeting, which will he on Friday before the fifth Sabbath of J uly next. The UliiOn, through the Execu tive Committee, secured the services of Rev. (ialphin as Evangelist. Shine important resolutions were adopted; among them the following: \ty*ofbt:ift That we memorialize Ihe South CaroIii a Legislature at its next session to prohibit the maun but lire and sale of intoxicating li quors within the State. Brother (J. .1. lUinerwus appoint ed messenger to convey a corres pondence to the Oraiigebttrg Mis sionary Union. Kev. Wi 1?. Parier was appointed to preach the introductory sermon, and KUler T. M. Oalphin the charity sermon at the next meeting. The meeting adjourned to meet at Antioch on Friday before the nth Sabbttth of duly next. S. M. Kkmmkui.in,Clerk. mm ? mm Composure is very often the high est result of strength. Did we never seen man receive n flagrant insult, and only grow a little pale, and then reply quietly? That was a inn n spir itually stn.ng. Or did we never sec a man in anguish stand, as if carved out of solid rock, mastering himself? or one bearing n hopeless daily trial, remain silent, and never toll the world what it was that cankered his home peace? That is strength. He who with strong passions remains chaste; he who, keenly sensitive, with manly power of indignation In him, can be provoked and yet refrain himself, and forgive: these arc strong men, spirit ual heroes. ?OTTOS BLOOMS. Mi. Editor: \ ace n number of farmers have sent you cotton blooms of various dates. I pronounce them all behind the Times. I can boast blooms on the 10th. Hut, it must not be for gotten, that the earliest blooms of ten make the smallest crops. P. A SIGNIFICANT SSTOItV. A wealthy banker inoueof our large cities, who is noted for his large subscriptions to charities, and for his kindly habits of private benevolence. Was vailed ou by his pastor one even ing and asked to go with him to the help of a man who had attempted su icide. They found the man in a wretch ed house, in an alley not far from the bankers dwelling. The front room was a cobblers shop; behind it. on a mis erable bed in the kitchen, lay the poor shoemaker with a gaping gash in his throat, while his wife and children wore gathered around hi in. "We have bieh without food for a day," said the woman, when he re turned. 'It's not my husband's fault.' He is a hard-working, sober man. But lie could neither get work nor pay for that which ho had already done. To day he went tbr Ibe last time to collect a debt due him by a rich family, but the gentleman waa not at home. My hUsbaudWas weak from fasting, and seeing us starving drove him mad. So it ended that way," turning to the fainting motion less figure on the bed. The banker, having fed and warm ed the family, hurried home, opened his desk ami took out a file of little bills. All his large debts were prompt ly met quarterly, but he was apt to be careless about the accounts for milk, bread, etc., because they were so petly. , lie found there a bill of Michael Good low's for repairing children's shoes, $10. Michael Goodlow was the suicide. It was the banker's un paid debt which brought thoae.pGO ple to ? ttierverge xyfttiu- gra^e;"! anilr drove this man to desperation, while at the very time, the banker bad been giving away thousands hi char ity. The cobbler recovered, and will never need a friend while the banker lives, nor will a small unpaid bill ever again be found on the banker's table. ? No man has a right to be generous until hi < i el) sn e paid: and the most efilicient use of money is not alone in almsgiving, but to pay liberally and promptly the people whom we employ. A WITTY JWKS0S? A Scotch clergyman by the name of Watty Morrison entreated an offi cer to pardon a poor soldier for some offence he had committed. The olli eer agreed to do so if he would in turn grant him the first favor he should ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to this. In a day or two the Ollicer de manded that the ceremony of bap tism be performed on a puppy. The clergyman agreed to it; and a party of many gentlemen assembled to wit ness the novel baptism. The parson desired the ollicer to hold up the pup py, as was customary in the baptism of children, and said: ? . "As I am a minister of the Church of Scotland, I must proceed accord ing to the ceremonies of the church. Well, then. Major, I begin by the usu ill question: You acknowledge your self the father of this puppy?" A roar of laughter burst from the crowd; the ofliecr threw the candi date for baptism away, and thus the witty minister turned the laugh against the infidel who intended to deride the sacred ordinance. RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with nothing in their pocket, and thousands without even a pocket, are rich. A man with a good sound constitution, a good stomach, a good heart and good limbs, ami a pretty good head-piece is .rich. Good bones are better than gold; tough muscles than silver; and nerves that Hash fire and carry energy to every function, ate better than hon- os and lands. Jt is better than n landed estate to have had a t ight kind of a fatner and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men as really as among herds and horses. Education may do much to check evil tendencies, or to develop good ones; but it is a great thing to inherit the right proportion ff faculties to Rtnt't with. The man is rich w ho has a good disposition?who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a IIa vor of wit and fwu in his com position. The hardest thing to got along with In this life is a man's own self. A cross, silfiah fellow, a de sponding and complaining fellow, a timid, earc-burdched man?these are all born deformed on the Intddc. Their feet may not limp, but their thought* do. A CURIOUS CASK* The following from the Greenville NV*r.< shows a curious instance of nog lijient legislation: "Women have one right in South Carolina not possessed by men. At the present tcriri of court in Abbe villo. a woman was arraigned for car ryinga concealed weapon. Mr.Hurt appeared ibr the defendant and ar gued that this aet applied only to men and not to women. That the act itself expressly declares that any person carrying a pistol, dirk, dagger slingshot, metal k li tick lea, razors, or other similar deadly weapons used for the (u.fiiction of personal injury, concealed aboutn? person, die, thus clearly showing that the Legislature had no reference, to women. The Judge sustained Mr, Btirt in his po^ si tin u, saying that if the Legislature had intended to include women, how1 etu?y it would have been to have add' ed the words his or her or their per? sons, but they, Hkc every body else, considered women non-combatants, and he held and instructed the jury that the act applied to men only, and that the women were not embraced under it, and instructed the jury to find the defendant not guilty. OBITUARY* Departed this life on the 1st of June, Agnes E., infant daughter of Andrew G., and Roachella Stroinnh, aged one year and six months. "Suf ferlittle children to come unto me for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." We also deeply regret to announeo the death of Mr. Andrew G. Strn> TnHDj'-iitfr ?e?t. rattierr w?o^otjly -mit :\ vived her one Week. It was sail, to stand by the grave of the father and his little daughter, who was snatch ed from our midst by the hand of Providence, but we must be consoled that "He doeth all things well." As a friend and citizen, his loss is irre parable. Hewill be missed in the colli inunity in which he lived. As a friend, he Was ever ready to lend n helping hand to the needy. Yes, wc will miss him iu all the social circles of life; and as a kind father nnd lov ing husband, he will never be re placed. He was a consistent member of the Methodist-Church. He t ie I on the 8th of June 1881, in the 43rd year of his age. He leaves a loving wife and five little children, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bchHlVed ones. A Fitti&Di A NARROW ESCAPE. EMUvr Or ingehurg Times : While Messrs A. B. Parier nnd LT M; Slilngler were going down to at tend Chllrch In Charleston county, on last Sunday ntoi'tilng, Mn Shlnglar's horse took fright ntld rah into Mr. Parlor's buggy, throwing Mr. Shiu gler and the young lady whom be wits driviiigout of his bUggy, unhurt, and by the breaking out of Mr. Shin gler's horse, Mr. Raider's took fright and dashed off throwing hltnand two of his friends out of his buggy. Two of them were seriously hurt. "When Mr. Parier fell out, ho carried the lines with him and the other two young men remained in the bugg}*, until the horse ran about one hum drei yards, before they fell. It is sup posed thnt the lines got wrapped a round the hub of the wheel, and by one of the lines being wrapped short er than the other, it retried the horse up to the fence, and as it did bo, the horse leaped Into the field carrying the buggy with him. Very little dam age was dohe to either of the buggies, but on the whole it was a very narrow escape for all concerned. Y ?
