protracted meeting at the Baptist Church
in our town Is progressing with marked
and increasing interest. Large con

pressive discourses of Rev. Mr. Pace
who is conducting the meeting. He is
doing 8 good work, and we hope that his
^efforts may be abundantly blessed.
"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 first destroys legiti
mate credit, the second- substitutes an
artificial and imperfect credit, and the
last opens out opportunities for unlimit
ed oppression."
Sound semse.r-The Macon. Ga.,
~ Telepraph and Messenger says: "It
will be a. good thing for the_farjBcr&4
when they get to tiie^r^int^foeing able
to control the-dlsposal of their cotton
crops. They will never be on an inde
^nendeat footing until tliat time arrives;
and the time will never come until they
quit mortgaging the crop before it is pro
duced. They cannot quit this pernicious
practice ?0 long as they make cotton pay
nil of their rarm, kitchen and household
expenses." *
Important Notice.?At a, regular,
meetingv Of the Town Council, held on
the.Sthiuatant, the following resolution,
introduced by- Alderman B, Frank
Slatjer,";Wais.adopted: ''That on and
after this.'date , any person or persons
offering , tiny beef or beeves forsaleor
barter . within the corporate limits of
Orangebnrg, S. C, shall pay,"maddir
tion to the present fee ofjaaitf ty-five
ceitt^'iOr each
~' of <?ne " dollar, or pay
of Bin dollars.""
E'obse Sense.?The Montgomery
Advertiser utters these wise words, end
we commend them to the perusal of our
young juen and young ladies: j*An.
holiest man is the noblest work of God,
in the' Workshop as. well as the court
rocim or the office.. When a boybe
lie'fes'that he will be disgraced by be
coming a mechanic or a farmer, his edu
cation has been sadly neglected, though
all the .colleges in the land have added
initials to bis uame. When a girl be
lieves that ahe will be disgraced by mar
rying an honest artisan or cultivator of
the soil, her education is a failure,
though she has triumphantly passed the
gauntlet of seminaries and colleges."
Important to Teachers.?The
following, resolution has been adopted
by the State Board of Examiners:
Resolved. That the examination of
teachers before county boards of exam
inees, shall include a series of questions
upon the theory and practice of teaching; j
and that ''Methods of Teaching." by
Jqhn Swett, and "Art of School Man
agement," by J. Baldwin, be recommen
"ded as books of reference.
In compliance with the terms of this
resolution, the examination papers for
January, 1884, will include a series of J
. questions upon the Theory and Practice
of Teaching.
A Colleton Suicide.?Mr. S. C.
Sodley, a prominent merchant of
Walterboro, was missed from bis premi
ses one day last week. Diligent search
for several days failed to reveal his
whereabouts when, at last, his body was
found, on last Friday, at the'.foot of a
pine tree, supported on each side by an
oak and a dogwood tree. He bad taken
off his hat. and, while n this position, had
placed hi.' pistol to his head aud shot
himself. The unfortunate man is sup
posed to have been suffering from tempo
rary aberration of mind, and. while in
this state, put an end to his life in the
manner described. He leaves a widow
aud four little children.
Notice to Cotton shippers,?
Tlie attention of shippers of cotton is
called to the followiug extract from the
"General Railroad Law" of 1882, which
,will be strictly adhereu to. "On and
after the passage of this Act. all Cotton
packed in bales transported by common
carriers within the limits of the Stale
? shall be classed as 'heavy goods;' that
is to say. an article to be weighed and
? charged for and treated accordingly:
Provided, that any common carrier. Ire
fore receiving such Cotton for shipment,
shall have the right to demand from the
shipper the weights of the several bales
thereof, and to adopt the same as the
weights upon which freight is to be
. charged, and, in case of loss, no recovery
shall be had by any shipper for a great-:
er amount than the weights so furnished
by him." To conform to the above
Law, all Cotton will be charged for at a
rate jier 100 pouuds. Shippers will be
required to furnish the Agent with a
memorandum of the exact weight of
each bale offered for shipment.
School Statistics.?We present a
few statistics from the annual repqrt of
the School Commissioner of Qrarigebura
County for the scholastic year'endimr
August 31st. 1883. .which may be of

poses during the year in our. County,
$9200.57^ bems: for teachers' palariee.
$086.62 for building school houses, and
the balauce lor rent, school furniture,
apparatus and repairs. Seven new
frame school houses have been erected
during the year, aud as many more are
now in process of erection. 5,748 chil

. colored and 1.948 white. The schools
have been kept open on an average of
. three months in the County. The time
lias varied in the different School Dis
tricts above or below this average, ac
cording to the number of schools run in
a District aud other expense.* Incurred^
The grade of teachers bait been very"
much advauced and the number of first
class schools have increased. An edu
cational spirit- seems t?> be gradually
growing among the people.

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. Give him a
call. . ' ? '
