"Thkee Curses."?The Keowce Courier says: '?The hen law is a curse to the State; so. too, is the homestead law, of which the lien' law is the off spring, and the three?the homestead, the ben law and unrestricted or even a high rate of interest?are enough to rum any people.

The personel of the Episcopal Con vention now in session in Philadelphia attracts considerale attention. There arc Governors, Senators, ExrCabinet Inembers and Bairfoiidisings^among the lay delegates. We hear the opinion expressed that the Auditor ought to have been named in the Graud Jury Beport with the Treasurer for increase of salary in conse quence of the great work and small pay of the office. Mr. J. S. Albergotti has moved into Mr. Slater's new house on Amelia street, and Dr. J. W. Lowmau and Mr. J. W. H. Dukes, jr., have moved into Mr. Pike's commodious residence on Busselt street. The General Convention of the Epis copal Church of the United States was in session in Philadelphia this week.

"Though lost to sight, to memory dear." A Philadelphia woman has beeu sued for bewitchlug anolher, We hope she wUl be convicted and punished; for what right has oue woman to be wasting her powers in bewitchiuo; another woman who objects to it. when there are so many men who would rather be bewitch ed than not. We are indebted to the Secretary of the State Press Association for a copy of the Minutes of the Eighth ami Ninth Annual Meetings ofthat body. Besides the proceedings of the Association iu its two last annual conventions, the ?ousti tion and a roll of members tor 18S3 is appended. Advertising is a good thing, but when a prominent grocer recently carried to a funeral an umbrella on which was pain ted conspicuously the business of his house, aud held it over the clergyman's head while he read the prayers, the by stauders thought he was running the thing into the ground. Rev. Mr. Suares, of Barnwell, is In our town. His many friends here are pleased to see him.

Mr. C. H. Mayhew, who has beeu a resident of our town .about three years, left last week for Florence, S. C. where he will make his future home. We wish our young friend a prosperous business career, aud regret that he found it neces sary to change his location. We com mend him to the good people among whom he has cast his lot* P. W. Andrews, who was convicted at the last Court, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for nine months, took it very hard. On his way to the Peniten tary he wept continually, and absolutely refused to be comforted. The other pri soners sverc as jolly as a picnic party, and seemed to look upon their imprison ment as a matter of indifference. The Berkeley Gazette says: "The Orangeburg broom drill epidemic has crossed the line and is now raging at Eutawville. A most delightful enter tainment has already been given by the ladies of that village. It Is whispered that the drill is to be repeated in public for the benefit of the Eutuw Light Dra- j goons, who are bending every nerve to the erection of a commodious armory." A family named its sons. Oue Stickney, Two Stickney, Three Stickney; and the daughters were named First Sticknev, Second' Stickney. Third btickney. The three elder children of another family were named Joseph, And. Another, and il was proposed to call the rest, if any appeared. Also, Moreover, Nevertheless and Notwithstanding. Another house hold actually named their child Finis, supposing il was the last, but three more were born, who were called Addenda, Appendix aud Supplement. The Courtenay people in Charleston were startled on Saturday by the circula tion through the city' of little printed slips of paper bearing the name of Maj. W? J^ Gayer for Mayor. A reporter of the News and Courier, immediately call ed upon Mai. Gayer who said that*he knew nothing of the matter, and had nothing to do with it. It did not appear, however, that Maj, Gayer gave any inti iu a tion of what he would dp if he should he insisted upon as a candidate. Is there any certainty then as to whut'may be' the upshot of the ^little jokers^ after all ' ? The Prohibition Question * : \ jGrangeburg, Oct. l3 1883. Editors Times jmd Democrat: I see that an effort is being marie to make our town a dry one. and I hn\3 no doubt, tbat those who advocate the measure mean well; but have they con sidered what effect it will have ? I have some doubts about it. Let us see what will more than likely be the consequence. Will-'it not uivert the business from Orangebilirg toRowesville, St. Matthews, Columbia, Graham, Blackville and Bamberg? Are the citizens of Orange Durg wiling to see our progressive town go backward or stand still while the other places mentioned go forward at their expanse ? Are they willing to let E property depreciate, to pay 10 mills tax, and see many stores and houses empty ? Some may say we doo't care, we don't pay any tax on real estate; but, if tjie business is turned away or diverted to other places, will not many of the em ployees -be turned out of employment, will they not have to go and seek em ployment in some other place, and will we not lose many a good citizen ? Will our churches then be able to pay their ministers a decent support ? The writer does not pen these lew lines for the benefit of the liquor trade, but all things should be considered.. It is.much easier to .turn customers away from a place thknTget them back again. Let us think oefore we act. Taxpayer. Economy but not Parsimony.? We have a circular before us which sets forth the grievances of the County Au ditors and Treasurers of the State on ac count of the small pay that is allowed them for the onerous and responsible duties they have to perform. We are opposed to paying the "servants of the people any more for their services than the duties which , are required of them would command in ordinary business and mercantile life; but we are rather iu clined to think that the disposition to wards economy has been carried a little too far. When the Democrats came into power, speedy and wholesale re treuchment was so necessary, that, in a laudable and patriotic spirit of economy, the salaries of all CouDty officers were reduced, in most cases, to less than half what they were under Radical rule. At that time we were so iinpoverishecLby the thieves who had control thatFwe needed extreme economy to enable us to recuperate from our financial depres sion consequent upon excessive taxa tion and robbery. We have uow how ever recuperated to a considerable ex tent, and we think we can afford to be a little more liberal iu the compensation of County officials who have been mere the scape-goats of retrenchment patrio tism than any other class of public officers in the State. We notice that the Grand Juries of Aikeu and Orangc burg have spoken out Upon the subject in their last reports. We object to any extensive increase of salaries, but only advocate the establishment of reason able liviug rates. Let our Legislature cousidcr the matter. The Gisand Jury Report.?The Grand Jury Report was read before the Court last wee?. The various County offices were visited and found to be iu good condition. A recommendation is made for a new roof and necessary re pairs to our Jail. Upon the subject of the Public Roads the Report reads as follows: '*We have received numerous complaints of the condition of the public roads and find them generally in very bad condition throughout the County. We call special attention to the bad con dition in which we find the roads and bridges near Branchville, Holman Bridge Road, Ninety-Six Road, Horse Range and Providence Bridges on State Road and the bad condition of the sills of the Bridge across the North Edisto River near .Orangeburg Courthouse. We do not censure the Couuty Commissioners for these complaints, but believe they arise from the inefficient system of the rpad laws uow in force, and would re commend that our Representatives in the Legislature do consider this matter and make such changes as will afford relief." The Jury recommend that the salary of #ie -tfomtty -Treasurer1 be in creased, and that the law requiring the tickets of jurors and witnesses to be ap proved by the County Commissioners be abolished. Dorchester County.?A largo number of the citlzeus of that part of Berkeley Couuty bordering on Orange burg County met at Dean Swamp Bridges on September 29th, in the inter est of the formation of the new County ot Dorchester. Maj. J. E. Wiggins was elected Chairman of the meeting and Mr. J. L. Weber Clerk. Speeches were made by Capt. Harper and Prof. M. C. Connor, of Georges, and Capt. G. W. Shinglei.% of Roadvillc, iu advocacy of the formation of the new Ceuuty. Dr. J. B. Wiggins, Coroner of Berkeley, op posed the movement, and Capt. Sulkier made a conservative speech. Two peti tions were drawn up and placed in charge of a Committee of which Mr. J. L. Weber was Chairman. One of the petitions was directed to the Legislature for the passage of the bill for the forma tion of the new County, and the other to the Charleston delegation for their advocacy of the measure. Both petitions were signed by nearly all present. The movement will be strongly pressed The bill, in its present form, will not affect Orangeburg Couuty. On Tuesday last a duel was fought with fatal results iu Whitchouse Town ship, Robeson County, N. C between Henry Home auci David Butler. The latter was shot through the collar bone and died in twelve minutes. A Feud had for a long time existed between the two men. and they had had repeated quarrels. Yesterday the two Butlers and the two Home brothers met at Whitchouse Townshin. All hands were drinking, and words passed between David Butler and James Home, and they agreed to step aside In the road and settle the trouble. Home had a pistol and Butler a club. Neither was hur,t seriously. Henry and Marshall Home, on learning of the light, went to the rescue of their brothers. Henry called to Butler to draw his pis tol and defend himself if he valued his life, and at the same time drew his own, a six-shooter. lie fired before Butler could get out his weapon, and killed him. j Butler's only remark after be was shot was: "Wall, this finishes, up an old grudge."_ Two cases of unrequited love and sui cide are reported from Vermont. At West Randolph, Charles Webster, thirty years old, shot himself through the head on Sunday evening, dying instantly. He fell desperately in love with a young lady whom he met at a railway station, and followed her about for several weeks, vainly trying to induce her to favor his suit, and be sat night after night under a tree near the bouse of a fanner in whose family she was visiting. A bit of ribbon cut from the trimmiug of her dress, a slip of paper on which she had written a few words and a cotton glove were found over his heart. The other case is that of Mrs. Prank Spaulding, the wile <>C a fireman on the Central Vermont Rail road, who ended her life, at West Brain tree by taking oil of cedar on Sunday night. She was twenty-eight years old and was In love with a man who is said to have spoken with her but once and who had no knowledge of her infatua tion. The Chicago Inttr-Occan truthfully observes: "This country needs more industrial institutions and lewer colleges of law and medicine. We want more common sense and less ideality, more bard-headed practice and less"theory, more workers anil fewer pnddlers. Suc cess in the workshop is infinitely prefer able to and more honorable than failure iu a profession, and tbo mere matter of pame has come to make but little differ ence with the estimate of men's worth nowadays. Technical education is what is wanted Iu our manufactories, and in them is our life." Mr. C. P. Brunson. who has just opened store at P. G. Cannon's old stand, wishes his friends to know tbat he has a fine fresh supply of cigars, cigarettes, tohaecocs, candies, fruits, vegetables aud fancy groceries that he will sell at bottom prices.
