Who did MBas borrow $10,000 from, a month or sosftgop ? Rowley and his crowd have been bailed out. Tbe man who is a friend to Prank Moses is a friend to Azracl. Moses Fays he can't see the point of our jokes because be is the butt. Wo had a rain on Sunday night last which cooled the air muchly. Tilt on has sued Ecccher for $100.000 dtmngrft. The lutttr says "Let us pray.'* Ic riv?r his been in good fishing order Sng the past, week, nnd our fishermen had It joRy time. * ' ' mm ?-'?mm?? In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. Afterwards he made man in the image of himself?oily to fall in Moses. Thcro arc a great many persona in Or nngeburg who have colds.' They nrj un pleasant accompaniments. Grass in tho Court itousi Sguaro. OI?an breeches bard to keep. No County Ohiccr wcarB white pants. Why ? This week has been remarkably cool. Of nights blankets wore hot at all uncomforta ble. A Chamberlain delegation has been doc ked from Chester headed by the veritable T. J. Mackey. Meroney's new store is almost completed, it adds to the looks of his property "mu di ly." Mr. Exckicl is doing a first-rate business It ib said that he sells groceries lower than n great many other mcrchnnts. Rowley nnd bis crowd were brought to Charleston and lodgctl in jail on Sunday last. Jones is ultcad in Georgetown now. Who cares? There will be a Rifle Club organized to day at Jones' bridge in the Fork. Two mounted companies have already been form ed over there. The beautiful residence of Dr. Oliveros, en Russell Street, presents a grand npponr nnce. We congratulate the Doctor on it3 design nnd beauty. Tho plaoe under the Nkws' office, recent ?tycecupied by Mr. Ezekicl, is undergoing repairs. We learn that Mr. Kirk Robinson is to occupy it. ??issewew???? - ? Mr. Reil on Rcttcrsou painted that beauti ful sign at the Grange Store. Mr. B. dis plays a eood deal of skill in that lino, and those who are in want of signs had better note the fajjt. Tho J'hctSiix say e from the 1st up to the 25th ofplthvmonth, Lexington had 'orty-two rainy <&y0 Selby must see double at times by this, l^otv else could he make forty two ou?of Jwcnly-fivo? The f Columbia r/iamix prints Moses's documents for him. Roth Republican paperstfof&lluit place havo refused to havo any tnrnjp/ to do with the "Robber Gover nor." ? ?-t. - Tho r Abbovlllo Medium man has been Mi v intcrvi^iviog Nilos G. Parker, cx-Treasuror of Sou)h --Carolina^ ou tho situation. Nilos says he wants to go to Congress. The people say they will think tho matter over. Mr. C. II. Green is prepared to fill orders f?r fresh beef at any time, and in any quantity. Ho is ^a good butcher, and those who desire his services can find him nt all times at bis place. Our thanks to C. D. Kortjohn for late files of Northern papers. Dick, it appeals, seems to bo determined to keep up with the ttacs, not only in the grocery and liquor business (for he lias no equal in this line) but also with tho events of tho day. TJIJi NEWS AND COURIER? Asserts in euiphatio terms that neither of its editors wcro olnscted with Chief Justice Most ft about the time charged by us, and ihfti neither of thum have spokon to the oid CbiejyUhin twelve mouths past. Wo make this statement ob a matter of courtesy, in asmuch as they have solmnly denied our charge, and from a desire to do justieo in our profession. It is but fnir to say, how ever, that wo had authority for what we wrote ' Is the Ntics and Courier satisfied ? MR. IF. K. CROOK? Has opened a grocery store next door to Dr. Dukes' drug shop. Mr. C. is well known, throughout tho County and commences on his own account, with the good wishes of tho News. MISS RVANS' SCHOOL? Will be resumed tit the residence of Mr. P. V. Dibble on Monday the 7th proximo. She is a successful nnd accomplished teacher, and we bespeak for her tho patronage of those who have children. The Charleston Chronicle selects for its leading editorial articles such subjects its '?Pig Iron," "Weather Reports,'' "Ban anas," "Cranberries" &0. What an official paper for the great metropolis of the Slate ! Scissors, what a paper ! TUR CHARLESTON SUN? Is becoming as foolish and hot-headed as its elder brother, the New? and Courier. Strange that one who has held office under tho very government he abuses, should, af ter he is with the outs, squeal so lustily. Did not Frank Moses make the first pay ment on the Preston Mansion with money got from his.approval of a joint resolution, appropriating Feme two or three hundred thousand dollars of money, passed by the Legislature at the Session of 1872-3V Moses says he hopes to have a jury here at the January term of the Court?nt which time he is to be tried for stealing $'1,000 of the hard earnings of the people's monoy? that will whitewash him as completely as the H'. mouth Church Committc.! did Bccch Sc tint or Patterson said inn speech nt Beaufort that Mos-cs had boon weighed in the balance ami found wanting. lie was the greatest fellow to want he ever saw. Honest John should have ad-ted, That if he didn't get what he wanted by fair means he'd steal it. The County Commissioners speak of hav ing the County jail made moro secure than it is at present. It is stated that our cau tious Hoard came to this conclusion because it is thought that His Excellency will at tempt some of .lack Sheppard's tricks, aber being delivered to our jailer in January. TR IA I, J l 'S Tl CR CO UR TS? For the past week business hai be in very lively in tho Courts of Trial Justices G'rar dcau and Ford ban'. Fiorii what we can bear these gentlemen dispense with all mat ters entrusted to their care with satisfaction Io ull parlies. 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 were performed on Sunday morning lust at (he Methodist Episcopal Church by the Itevs. Walker and Campbell. The church was crowded by a lo.ge number of mourn ing friends w ho, with their heads bowed low in sorrow, paid this last sad rite to the mortui remains of a departed loved one. - ?a? ? -. ?mm - 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. -.-. Wl - 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 ized on Tuesday evening with the following officers: President?James F. Tzlnr. 1st Vice President?Samuel Dibble. 2d Vice President?W. R. Izlur. 3d Vice President?James S. Heywurd. Treasurer?0. W. Brunsen. SEXA TO It A XI) Ii E \YS? lias been 13d Ii g sick at bis residenco, for several weeks past, with a slight attack of erysipelas, lie publishes a statement of his conduct as Treasurer, which will explain away a part of Mr. Bolivar's letter. His 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. IIA SE Ii AI. L A TI. F. WIS VI LL E? 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. COMMERCIAL. MARKET REPORTS.
