Williams, of Florida and brother of our townsman, Mr. J. A. Williams, is in town on a visit to his relatives. Bisnor Howe will preach at thu Episcopal Church next Sunday, and confirm several applicants for Church membership. The recent seasonable rains insure a heavy rice crop throughout the county. We are glad to learn that our farmers have generally planted this grain and will reap an abundant harvest. Oun thanks arc due Mr. Lewis Evans, of Providence, for a lot of fine, solid cabbage heads, which prove how successful he is at gar dening and how mindful ol the com fort of the printer. New cotton is beginning to come in rapidly and the probabilities are that the fall and winter trade will be large. Our merchants arc disposed to make close sales and allow the farmers all the margin possible. Ben Loyd and cripple Tom were arrested by Policeman Cannon for lighting in the streets on Wednesday morning and carried before Ihc Mayor on yesterday. They were charged two dollars apiece for the fun. Remember the schools of Misses - R. Si Albcrgolti, C. M. Evans and Anuie Albergotti will open next Monday. Theso are old established schools and we bespeak for them a liberal share of public patronage. We were glad to meet otir young friend, Mr. A. E. Glover on the streets after so long an absence from bis native town. Mr. Glover is do ing business in Augusta, Ga., under most promising circumstances of suc cess. Mu. John Aycrs, onu of the excur sionists from our county while com ing to the depot at Sparta-burg a few days ago had his arm broken by the mules running away with the vc hicclc. Mr. Aycrs is now at home and doing well. The residence of Mr. Daniel O'Cnin wa3 destroyed by fire on Sat urday last. The lire was purely acci dental as no reason can be assigned for its occurrence. Mr. O'Cain was in Orangcburg at the lime and consc quenlly the lost was heavy. We call the attention of parents to tbe harm that may befall their children by allowing them to loaf about the depot. Wo noticed on the approach of the train boys tussling on the platform. This is dangerous and might cause serious trouble. A visit to tbe sugar refinery show ed that the engine is in position and a few days more will sec this valua ble enterprise at work. An ounce of such practice (and there arc thous ands put in it) is worth tuns of theory. Who will have the nerve and patriot ism to follow suit? Some can if they will. We learn from Mr. T. O. Dawson, railroad agent at this place, liial the checking of baggage, according to re cent orders, is done *oy the agent after tickets have been bought. Per sons, therefore, who design taking tho train af. this point will remember the depot in ample time to allow the agent to perform the extra work. Letty Gowan and Ccly Daniels, two viragos, were taken before the Mayor's Court on yesterday by po liceman Dantzlcr for disturbing the picco of the community. A line of two dollars served only to put them in proper tunu for Trial Justice ?Juli us Glover, who added four dollars more by way of a peace offering. ' The town i? building up- This is brave, but the backbone is homo in dustry. Let us manufacture to sell. The community thnt buys more than it sells is going backward. Yv'c can sell more than we buy if capital will ?ret into factories of any kind. A New Pamily Gnocerv.?Wo no tice that Mr. W. H. Schilllcy has op ened a grocery on Russcll-strcct near the railroad and proposes to keep a small and fresh slock of family groce ries on hand. This will afford an ad ditional convenience to our citizens In that end of the time. A one-logged negro man, known about town as Andy alias Sandy, alias Alfred was caught by Mr. Lew in in the 6tablc of Mr. B. F. Thomp son with a bag containing about one bushel of corn which he had stolen from the barn. Mr. Lewin seized the bag and called for the police, but none being in roach the rogue escap ed. We notice large supplies of fresh goods arc being received at the popu lar Btorc or Mr. J. C. Tike. His cletks are busy unpacking and put ting on shelves choice specimens of articles usually kept in every line of general merchandise, and our readers will do well to call and purchase their lall and winter supplies before these splendid bargains are exhausted. ORAKOEitimo, S. C, Aug. 21,1870. Mcessrs. ?Sui?, Mcroney & Co.: The Elevator and Purifier your Mr. Mcroncy put in my well four months ago is all that you represent ed it to be. It has had a wonderful effect on my water, and I cheerfully recommend il as being a first-rate ar ticle. I would not be without il for twice the amount 1 paid for it. D. W. Snem.. The season for hauling cotton to market and traveling from point to point is at hand and good farmers will see to it that their wagons and buggies aie kept in good order. For this purpose they will not forget the establishment of Mr. R. 11. Wiles on Market street, who has in Iiis employ experienced workmen and is prepared to put up jobs in the best manner and at the cheapest cash rates. Give him a call. We understand that a second edi tion of the pamphlet published by the Ladies' Confederate Monument Association, commemorative of the unveiling of the monument at Colum bia, is ubout to be issued, the first edition having been exhausted. Per sons desiring copies will please in form Mrs. Samuel Dibble, stating how many they wish to procure. The price of this edition will be thirty cents. Mr. C. Li Cam, near Reevcsville, killed about seventy rats two nights last week by a very ingenuous contri vance, lie made a cover for a bgrrcl with a hole in centre of cover suffici ently large for u rat to find easy pas sage through, and greased the under side of cover with tallow or other bait pulitahlc to rats. lie then plac ed the cover on the barrel securely the work was done. Next morn ing the barrel was full of rats and Mr. Cnrn was delighted. We were pleased to receive Presi dent J. L. Jones, of the Columbia Fe male College, at our residence and ollice yesterday, lie is quite a digni fied and affable gentleman, and seems peculiarly fitted for the work in which lie is engaged. The Trustees of the institution were fortunate in securing a President so well qualified as a dis ciplinarian and educator for their j college as President Jones. Tho gratifying sue/ess of which is a proof of the wisdom of their choice. The season for planting turnip and cabbage seed for early spring beds is not yet passed, and we would remind those who have neglected those nec essary crops, that Mr. W. F. Robin son has a new supply of fresh seed of every variety adapted to our climate and soil, and will dispose of them at rates to suit every one. Don't delay longer but call at Mr. Robinson's and save your money by procuring his fresh and reliable seed. In the moan time bring your watch and clock along to he repaired better than can bo done elsewhere and cheaper. We were pleased to meet Prof. W. II. Lawrence, of the Claffiin Universi ty, on the street on Wednesday last after his long absence on a visit to his friends and kindred in the North, lie has been well taken care of and returns to his field of labor strength ened and prepared for another year of patient and arduous toil. Wo trust another year's sojourn among us will result in a greater measure of good, if that bo possible, than the laet to our colored population. We wish for liim and his loved ones a year of happy contentment and great prospei ity. The attention of the public is call ed lo the lecture of Hon. J. L. Jones, President of Columbia Female Col lege, at tbe Methodist Church this evening at 8 o'clock. The subject will bo "Female Education," and our citizens may expect to hear a line iccturc from this learned gentleman, who conies among us merely in the interest of his college and our South ern women. No money is wanted? only hearers. His reputation as a pub lic speaker and an educator of youths warrants us In predicting a full house and a literary ticat. Ex-J?doe W. W. Legaro, Ialo of Clarksvillo University, now Profes sor of Natural Science at Adger Col lege, Walhalla, S. C, visited Orango burg on Wednesday last. He looks well, and it was a matter of real pleasure to him and a host of friends that he stopped here on his way home. Fe"' of Carolina's sons have made .a belter impression for social worth and classical attainment than Prof. Lcgare, combining as he emi nently docs the gentleman and schol ar. It is hoped that his services in the literary and scientific world will ho secured permanently by the Stale. The citizens about Center Hill arc making very earnest efforts to build a fine academy with a view of estab lishing a high school for the educa tion of their children. We admire and commend this spirit of enterprise to our citizens of other sections, with the hope they may take like steps in this direction. To establish first class schools lo be supported both by private and the public funds is the only way to educate our children. Such schools liiaj' be permanent and and run the year round, while public school cannot run more than six months at best.. The sad event in the death of Miss Marie Whaley, elder daughter of Maj. T. 15. Whaley, will ho learned with great regret. Frequent monitions of declining hcnlth compelled a resort to Aikcn, where she departed life on the 27th. The funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Thursday, the 28th, at the Episcopal Church, Rev, Mr. Gucrty olliciating. Even while the insidious disease was working its stealthy and certain work, Miss Whaley preserved that fine appear ance of health which was retained to within a short lime of her death. She was taken in the early morning of life ; in full view of all that heightens the hopes of youth. Jjust as the hori zon dawned with gilded promises the pall lowered ami death demanded its prey. The cause of Miss Wlinley's death was consumption; Ox last Friday quite a novel suit was entered by the Stale against Messrs. W. B. Way, E. M. Parier, J. D. Shuler, Thomas Felder, Brooks Parier and Calvin Shuler for viola lion of the "act for the protection and preservation of useful animals"?fa miliarly known as the game law. Mr. |S. B, Fox worth was the informant and made oflidavit that the above parties "did hunt and kill" a deer be fore the 1st of August. Three color ed witnesses, apparently reliable men, were examined and each asserted upon oath that he knew nothing about the metier and of course Gen. J. F. Izlar, defendant's attorney, de manded a verdict of "not guilty" winch was rendered. We understand other suits are lo follow, instituted by Ihc defendants, which will cost a great deal of money, if nothing more. This admonishes those who are dis posed to inform agi'inst others to at least 6cc to it that their affidavits will be corroborated by good witness before they proceed to such a step against their ncigbors as it won't pay. _ * The public arc again reminded that Sheridan's Classical School for boys land girls will open next Monday at 0 o'clock A. M., at his rooms in the Fair Building. This is an earnest effort to irect the educational de mands of Orangcburg ami wo hope the public will give the enterprise a liberal support. Girls, as well as boys, will be received and will be un der the immediate supervision of Miss Mackay, yet controlled by the Principal. Every care and attention lo advance the pupils in every grade will be made by the t?aeheri an 1 pa rents and guardians arc assured that ample lime wi:l be given to each stu dent whether large or small, begin ners or advanced. Reading, writing, spelling and the rudimentary branch es will receive special attention. Whilst the school is graded and each room presided over by a teacher, yet the discipline will be that of the Prin cipal, who alone will administer pun ishment to offenders. Children should be in attendance the first day to be classified and begin their studies at one. A short time sinco wo woro in com pany witli two very intelligent and accomplished young ladies, and one of them llatly informed us that one of Ihc biggest stories she over road in her life sho read in the local column of the Democrat of the week before. We tried hard to look innocent and modestly enquired.the nature of the article which had brought our reputa tion for veracity into such serious jeopardy, and after learning the para graph, wo were compelled to admit that the picture was pretty highly colored. We mention this little oc currence for the benefit of our breth ren of the presH, so that they may bo careful how they pufr a-r-w.oll we won't say what?or they may bo cor nered as we were, and forced to own up, or stand a confessed numbskull. At a meeting of the Edisto Riflc3 held Tuesday evening, August 19th, 1879, the following resolutions of thanks were adopted by said Compa ny: Resolved, That the thanks of the Company are due and are hereby ten dered to Mr. Henry Kohn and to the ladies and gentlemen and chil/ dren who sang and played at our con cert on the l?lh of August.
