Two of onr young friends left town

Dabble wm seo friend Thompson
through.

A young man by the name of Bur

In Salem, N. C, the blackberry
crop shipped from that place during
the present year amounted to the
very respectable sum of 9800,000.
Wby may not Qrnngeburg, where
this berry grpvys as abundantly as
anywhere else, do the same. A
small t.radio that amounts to such a
huge sum should not bo despised.
All that is needed is a spirit of enter
prise.
We learn through our uubscribors
of Sunny Plain .that the Democrat

L. Morgan, in another column of this
issue. If our citizens desire beef of
tho best quality, and to have a good
market in their midst, let them ob
tain beef from Mr. Morgan and sup
port his market. Such au enterprise
cannot be maintained without a liber
al support, and Mr. Morgan ought to
get it.

The challenge to the Athletic Rase
Hall Club of Aiken from the Orange

the Oranges because of business rela

We learn that our ontcrprizing
townsman, Mr. J. P: Harley, is on
goged in shipping shingles to Lewis
ville. We taHo pleasure in, running
this noto because our swampa and
forests abound \t\ tho host of timber
in suflicicnt quantities to supply the
demands of every accessible point
along tho lino of railroad and

timber, might make a prpfltablo busi

For Mayor.
Editor Qrangeburg Democrat;
As the timo for our town election
is near, I deem it not improper to
write you a short communication in
regard to the candidate of the people
for Mayor. All will readily admit
that the chief executive officer of our
town should be a man respected by
both races of our citizens; one to|
whom all may look for exact justice
in the administration of public af
fairs?.
' lie should be I man cf nerve and
decision, not fearing to act when the
public good demands action, and car
ing nothing for ephemeral public
opinion, when adverse to him, so long
as he J-.iwius that ho is' right. Every
community hns not such a man as
this.
Orangeburg is nioro fortunate than
many others are, she baa a man who
possesses every qualification for mak
ing an efficient, acceptable and up
right Mayor. Messrs. Editors, we
have reference to the present incum
bent, Hon. J. W. Moseley. We write
this without having ever spoken to
Mr. Moseley in regard to the Mayor
alty of our town.
Wo know that it is not in unison
with his feelings to be the incumbent
of any public office, but we hope that
he will again do. as he often did in
the past, sacrifice personal interests
and pleasures for the public good,
and serve us for at least another
term in the capacity of Mayor. W.
Wants to be a Martyr.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
It is not surprising that the indig
nation of the people was so generally |
aroused by the recent letter from Or
angcburg to the Tribune ; but sonic
think it would have been better to
pass it without notice. TJie.ro arc]
men who come here with the determi
nation to be made martyrs of in some
way. There are so many such at
home, men of small calibre, that the
chances of being mado notorious are
few and far bctwnon. Hut this is a
fruitful field. A pago or two of mis
representation is gobbled up by the
many enthusiasts there, and the quite I
ordinary man becomes the Lillipution |
giant at once.
The citizens of Orangeburg cannot I
do the author of that letter a greater'
favor, or please him better than to)
keep such matters before the public.
If Grant or somo other Republican
should be" elected President, there is j
no doubt this man would fill some fat
office. The poor nifirtyr of Orange
burg.
His evidently chosen position here
now, puts one in mind of the old lady
with life preserver on board the J
steamer during a gale, "Do some one)
blow me up 1 pray blow me up." B.
As we predicted in our last issue,
it has been a busy time with Mr.
Kortjohn. Having received a large
consignment of Notions, Dry Goods,
Boots, Shoes, Huts, iOc, he threw
them on the market at unprecedent
ed prices, consequently large crowds
were in attendance, and largo sums
of money changed bauds as tho bet
ting men say, but this is no game of
chance. It is true this store receives
most of the cash money spent in the
town, but buyers receive the value
therefrom two-fold. Strange must be
the piece of humanity who visits this
busy mart and goes away dissatisfied
with goods, prices, proprietors or as
sistants. Mr. K. has a full stock and
receives doily new ndditions. It
would bo impossible for us to predict
what next will be offered at this
place, when huge family bibles as
[sold by traveling agents for twelve
and flffeon dollars aro olfcred to you
at 82.00, and long whnlcbono buggy
whips at 40 cents, black cashmere at
80 cents, worth 75?but we will leave
Dick and his prices till next issue.
