& Committed Suicide.?Mr; Elliott H.
Jrick, a prominent citizen of the Pine
Grove section of our County, and for a
??imber of years a consistent and active
member of Trinity Luthern Church,
committed suicide last Friday by blow-,
icg out his brains with 3 shotgun. Mr.
Eriek was a most estimable gentleman,
and Jeaves a large family to mourn his
<death. He was in easy circumstances,
[?B? Iiis friends know of no cause why
.iie should have taken his life.
Another Fire.?The stables and
outbuildings of Representative Ira T.
Shoemaker, in. the Pork, were destroyed
by fire one night last week. A large
quantity of corn, fodder, oats, and four
mules were burnt up with the build
ings. The fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, and we hope the
miscreant may be caught, and punished
to the f ullest extent of the law. Mr.
Sfcs^maker was in Columbia, attending
to his duties as a member of the Legis
lature when the fire occurred. His loss
is very heavy. _
A Compaelsox.?From the annual
tep^rt of the County Commissions of
Atkeu County we learn that the Public
Printing cost that Countv last year
3540.92. The Public Printing in this
County cost, for the same period,'S226.00.
This is quite a showing in favor of our
County. As Alken has. two papers and
Orangeburg only one, it shows that the
Times and Democrat is doing the
square thing by the County, and not
gouging' it because it.happens to have a
monopoly..
The Lunatics.?From the annual
report vof the Superintendent of the
Lunatic Asylum it appears that there
are now, 603 patients in. that institution,
cf whom 21 are from Orangeburg. The
total expenditure for maintainance and
improvement for the year amounted to
$228,244.ti, and the average cost of each
patient is S141.94. There were 240 pa
tienta admitted during the year. An
.appropriation of S133J3QQ tasked for the
?current -year. J^e#-^verything that is
* possiblj^ja^?fiefor these unfortunates.
The Liability or Railroads.?The
Supreme Court of the State has decided
r- that the stock law does not change in
any way the liability of railroads for
injury tq stock. In Jones ins. Columbia
and Greenville Railroad, which went
sip from Abbeville, the Court held that
?rethe lawin Danner's Case still applies in
this State. That law is that whenever
it is proved that stock is killed by a
railroad the law presumes negligence
and holds thcroad liable for damages,
unless it can prove, by affirmative testi
mony, that it exercised due care. In
$3mkins t?. the Columbia and Green
ville Railroad, a case that went up from
that County, the same doctrine is laid
tlown.
Look tor the Comet.?The Brooks
comet of 1812 is now visible in the even
ing. ItHs in the Northwest, and is
pursuing a path that will soon bring it
into the constellation of Cygnus in
. which tue Swan is across the milky
way. On December 13lh it reached the
maximum brightness of 1812, and by the
w * 14th of January will become four times
^ brighter. Its closest approach to the
&^can will be on January 25th, after
y which it will be seen no more for seven
ty-one years. It has shown some re
r*. maxkable features unknown in any
i other comet. About the 20th of Septem
ber it brightened rapidly and threw out
a considerable taiL The light was of
unusual density and, at onetime, bc
' came of a smoky color. In a few days
"^P^iie tail and brightness suddenly disap
j' peared. Several times since a feeble
tail has been observed to form and fade
again. ..
A Sad and Fatal Accident.?Last
Saturday while Mrs. Ann Barton, the
?esteemed wife of Col. D. R. Barton, of
the Fork, was superintending the pre
paration of dinner, her dress took fire
from the kitchen stove. She ran out
and screamed for help. This brought
?' to her assistance her husband and Mr.
Jerome McMichael, who succeeded in
^tmguishing the flumes, but not until
Mrs. Barton w#s terribly, and fatally
burned. ? Medical aid was of no avail,
- -and she "lingered in great agony until
Sunday morning when-she breathed her
last. Mrs. Barton was about sixty years
old, and was a most excellent lady. She
was a devoted member of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, South, for many
years. Her remains were taken to New
Hope Church, where her funeral ser
vices were conducted. They were then
interred in the yard adjacent to the
Church. A large number of friends at
tended her funeral. Col. Barton and
Mr. McMichael got their hands badly
burned in trying to subdue the flames.
Why is it Thus?A young man is
s "allowed by the strictest moralist an
Intermediate time in which to sow his
wild oats; but who ever admitted the
same necessity with girls? We say
that man should have his amuse
ments?his clubs, cigars, horse races,
flirtations and liquorings, but suppos
ing our w oman and girls come to us
?recking with tobacco ? * Supposing they
ffijfcaddicted themselves openly to nips of
.grog and absinthe when their spirits
were low? Supposing they sat down
^?-to quiet rubbers of whist or ecarte,
^amoling away their household just to
while off dull hours ? We demand so
much of excellence of our women that
the worst of them are better than the
nrajtverage man. I have known some
women who" were social outcasts, and
: \^who, in point of heart, conduct and
gefierarThorul rectitude, might have
furnished stuff for the making of very
upright gentlemen indeed. They have
fallen, it is true; but what a fearful
.penalty they have paid for that fall,
y while by comparison the kindred pen
alties of men are so slight. If a young
man gets mixed up in some disgrace
. ful entanglement, breaks a heart and
:, throws a young girl on the streets after
.".having ruined her life, people say of
. ' him, compassionately, by and by: "He
" ? was so young when he did it, and now
?2&ihe has turned over a new leaf," but if
rSjan inexperienced girl, a mere child of
Mjftlxteen cr seventeen comes to harm
^through a moment's weakness, born of
" .too much love and over-confidence in
her betrayer, who ever thinks of plead
v Jj(iig her youth as .an excuse ? Who ever
:- :|irges seriously that a girl has turned
f0$byer a new leaf? Who urges upon her
?fjany necessity of doing so? t ?
The XTortTtjlinericaii Review for
January presents 'a table of contents
?possessing- in the! highest-degree the
-character of contemporary human
interest. First, the opposite sides of the
.question of "Ecclesiastical Control in
Utah" are set forth by two representa

have dollars of unequal commercial
value in circulation. In an article en
titled "Theological Re-adjustments,"
the Rev. Dr. j. II. Rylance insists upon

The farmers are busy sowing wheat
and oat*, while it is most pleasant
weather. There w?l be a much larger
acreage sown this year than there was
hist year.
It "is no longer a, question of doubt
among the industrious farmers whether
they must continue extensive cotton
planting, or more of home consump
tion, such as, corn, wheat, oats, peas,
rice, potatoes, &c. It is an evident fact,
that a continuation in the former, with
out modification, that is, planting every
succssive year more cotton and less
corn, wheat, oats, &c, destruction and
abject poverty among the Southern
planters are inevitable.
The gathering of the crops are about
finished, and a far better yield there is
than was expected.

? 'i'i-y Wasting Money.
Orangeburg, Deo, 17,1883.
Editors Times and Democrat,? ,
Do the people realize the amount of
money that is wasted every year in
making and unmaking laws ? Here we
have the Legislature in session for an
indefinite time at the expense of some
S800 a day, and, still worse, the Congress
going on at the delightful rate of $6,000
for the session for each Congressman.
And for what? for each body every
year to undo, to a considerable extent,
what was done by the previous body,
and to add little or nothing besides.
The fact is, most of our knotty litiga
tion proceeds from our having too much
law, and yet every year we add statute
upon statute to make confusion douUy
confused. And who pays for all of this ?
The people who are toiling with their
plows and their anvils to make a liv
ing for their families. Of course laws
are necessary for the regulation of so
ciety, but there is no occasion for our
Legislatures, either State or National,
to meet so often or prolong their ses
sions so long. The waste of money is
outrageous, and, instead of order, con
fusion iathe result. Once in two years,
if necessaay, is enough for either the
State or National Legislature to meet,
and, even then, there ought to be a
legal limit to the sessions. A consti
tutional amendment to this effect would
be a blessing to the people in saving
money in their pockets. We have two
staring evils in our Republican govern
ment, namely, too many elections, and
too much legislation. Reformer.
"Pay as You Go."
Orangeburg, De<x, 15,1883.
Editors Times and Democrat:
The new Town Council seems to be
disposed to make improvements. There
are loud talks of straightening Russell
street, opening new streets and build
ing additional fire wells;, and now, in
connection with the above, a bill has
been presented to the Legislature to
make the way clearer for our Council
to borrow money, and to increase the
limit of taxation toten mills. Improve
ments are desirable, of course, but it
seems to the writer that it would be
wiser to be moderate, especially at this
time.
In the first place, bonded debts are
bad, as the experience of most towns
and cities that have tried them will de
monstrate. We need go no further than
Columbia to cite an example. Let us
undertake only such improvements
then as we have the cash in hand to pay
for. The old adge is a good one, "pay
a3 you go."
In the second place, high taxation
should be avoided. It injures a town
in scaring off capital, and, besides this,
people don't want to pay rent for their
own houses in taxes. Taxes have to be
watched and kept within reasonable
limits.
In the third place, this would be an
unfortunate time to increase taxes.
Prohibition in itself must necessarily
make taxes higher, and all the addition
al burden of taxation will be attributed
to this source. Prohibition will have it
all to bear. At any rate lot us move
cautiously, and, by all means, before
any important step is taken, let the tax
payers be heard from. Taxpayer.
Council Proceedings.?At the
regular meeting of the Town Council
last week a considerable amount of
business was disposed of. The Treasur
sr's report was read and received as
information. It showed a very small
balance in the Treasury. The result of
the recent election in favor of "No
License" was declared, and the protest
of the "License" party read. The
grounds of this protest were, a? stated
by us in a former issue, that tue elec
tion was held on the 30th of November,
which was not the month specified in
the Act, and that the polls were not
apened at the legal hour.
An ordinance was passed for the
straightening of Russell street, which
is certainly an important step, and one
in which considerable interest will be
felt.
The Independent Fire Company,
colored, was brought up to show cause
why its charter should not be taken
away, the charges being absence from
fires as a company, and failure to make
the monthly reports required by the
Board of Fire Masters. At the request
)f the Company, with a view to re
srganization, further time was granted
to answer.
A resolution was passed to amend
the charter of the town so as to make
a clearer and more definite provision
for the issuing of bonds by Council for
borrowed money, when required, and
to increase the limit of taxation from
five to ten mills. This matter is now
in the form of a bill before the Legisla
ture.
The County Com nissioners present
ed a protest against Council using the
lail as a guardhouse.
The Board of Health was appointed,
the mimes -being the same as we re
ported in our last issue.
The report of the Board of Fire
Masters was read, and contains much
af interest to our citizens. A strong
ippeal was made for more fire wells.
The Board recommends that four more
wells be made and located as follows:
One on Glover street, near Capt. M.
Mover's residence; one on Whitman
street, near Gen. Izlar's; one on Russell
street, near Mr. H. R, Bank's residence,
md one adjacent to the Factory, near
Mr. Cornelson's. The Board also re
:ommends that the hose of the Young
America Fire Engine be increased from
TOO to 1,000 feet. It was further recom
mended that a better system of fire
llarm be adopted, a large bell being
ixed in some central place, and that a
rattle be substituted for the firing of
pistols at fires. The report was not |
acted upon, but left for future consider- r
ation.
The Mayor stated that two police
men would be dispensed with on or
after the 1st of January.
Alderman Kohn offered a resolution
to tax drummers S2 a day, or S10 a year.
He also offered a ^solution that Coun
cil take charge of Seller's Avenue, ex
tend Treadwell street to Webster's
Avenue, and receive Webster's Avenue
as a street. The consideration of both
of these resolutions was deferred to a
future meeting.
It will be seen by the above pro
ceedings that a good many live matters
have been taken up which will give our
citizens something to think about for a
while and discuss.
An Honest Max.?The Abbeville
Medium says : "Jackson Burt, colored,
who lived near Greenwood, has gone to
Florida. He was a subscriber to the
Medium and five months behind in pay
ment. He is an honest man however,
and left the money to pay up. This is
a solid fact and we deem it worthy of
mention because many persons would
never think of paying after they were
safely out of the State." The Times
and Democrat has a number of
colored subscribers, who pay up prompt
ly every year.
Levi James, a Choctaw Indian, who
was convicted last November of the
murder of Jas. Fulton was shot on
Thursday at Scullyville Court House,

and a deputy the other. Another dep

in cleaning out the river Joann, one of
the small streams of Rio, in Brazil, they
found a very old cedar chest buried in
the mud. When opened they found it
to contain many valuable articles, such
as lamps, swords, works in gold and
diamonds. Those articles were taken
at once to the museum. They are sup
posed to have belonged to the Jesuits,
who threw them in the stream when
pressed in their flight fronfRio.
A Bostonian was recently rescued
from drowning, and with difficulty re
susciated. Without th .inking his res
cuers, or refering in any manner to his
:iarrow escape, he pulled out some bank
notes from an inside pocket. "With a
look of despair he exclaimed: "Oh, my
God! my money is spoiled." Not until
one of his friends had demonstrated to
him beyond doubt that his bills would
not shrink in value on account of soak
ing did the terrified man recover calm
nass.
In York County Me., recently, a man
died who had one doctor treating him for
pyajemia and another for Bright's dis
ease. Each determined to settle the
question of disease by a post mortem
without letting the other know it. Just
as the kidney doctor had uncovered the
coffin the blood-poison man drove into
the graveyard with his assistants, and
the two disputed so long over the ques
tion of possession that they were sur
prised and nearly captured by a party
from the village who had been attract
ed by the light of the moving lanterns.
How much to "wave the bloody
shirt," or, us Mr. Frank Hatton phrases
it, "how high'to elevate the ensanguin
ed garment," was the subject of a pro
longed discussion at a late cabinet meet
ing. General Arthur was the inquirer
after information to use in preparation
of his message. Chandler, Teller and
Brevvster were known to be in favor of
the highest attitude, while Lincoln was
that way inclined. Gresham wanted to
know how the cat was going to jump
before committing himself. Folger
desired time for his judicial mind to
operate, and Frelinghuysen was with
out views.
Application was made to Governor
Pattison of Pennsylvania, a few days
ago for the arrest of Mrs. Belan, nee
Miss Mary Solomon, for many years a
young society belle of Brooklyn. On
account of technical informalities in
the papers the requisition was refused,
with permission to renew it when the
facts in the case were placed before
Governor Pattison. The charge of big
amy is prefered by the lady's husband,
Henri Benedetti Belan, a wealthy New
Orleans merchant, now living in New
York, where he has acquired residence
for the purpose of beginning the prose
cution. Three years ago ? "ie eloped from
her parents' home with her husband,
and about a year after her marriage she
ran away, it is asserted, from her hus
band with Simon Johnes, the clerk of
the hotel in New Orleans where she
and her husband were living.

Has been more destructive to human health and lift y'
than war, pestilence cod famine combined. So'
said a distinguished writer many years ago, aid It la
oa true to-day as then. The poor victim of Blood
Disease is drugged with Mcrcnry to enre the malady*
and then dosed with Iodides to cure him of the Mer
curial Poisoning; but instead of any rclLcf, the first
breaks down his general health and makes Mm ?
cripple, and the other ruins his digestive organ*. To -
those afflicted in this way Swift's Spcculc Is th* '
greatest boon on earth, and is worth more than iti
weight in gold. It antidotes this Mercurial Ponce
tones np tue system, and brings the sufferer bock
to health and happiness. Every person who dm
ever been salivated should by all means take a thor
ough coarse of this remedy.

Five years ago I fonnd on my plantation a colored
man who was badly diseased. He stated that five
rears before he had contracted a violent case of Blood
PoiBon, and had been t-eated by many physicians,
all foiling to enre him. I treated him with Swift'a
Specific, and in a short time h* vas sonnd and well,
and has not had a symptom of thd disease since.
