Dr. Sturkie's Card.
Editor Times and Democrat: Fer
mit me to say though your paper that
I appreciate very much the support
given me by my friends in the recent
election, and while Mr. Dibble gained
the ead over me of 77 votes on ac
count, of a third party coming in and
splitting my vote, especially in tfte
western part of the county, I appre
ciato just as much the support of my
friends.
The official count shows the vote to
be as follows: Dibble, 5S7; Sturkie,
510; Friday, 344. Thus Mr. Dibbie
lacks 135 votes of having a majority.
The city of Orangeburg, with a host
of prominent, influential citizens of
diffi rent callings and professions, in
cluding some of our very popular
county officials, working hard for
Mr. Dibble: and the towns oi Bow
man and Elloree, trie former with
Hor. Samuel Dibble and the latter
with Mr. R. E. Clark, an influential
brolher-in-law?these three pre
cincts gave him 313 votes out of his
587. Mr. Friday carried North, one
precinct in the county, and surely he
des?rves something better nc tut,
hands of Mr. Dibble's friends?than
going to the Legislature, as intimated
by you last week. Give him some
thing more substantial from a finan
cial standpoint, say Clerk of Courl,
Sokcitor, or something worth hav
ing.
1 appreciate very hisvry the fact
that the seven precincts combined in
the Fork gave me a good majority.
Also that I carried Ayers, Jamison,
Ro.vesville. Stokes, Ebenezer and re
ceived a flattering vote at Braneh
ville.
Aga'n thanking all my friends who
stood by me on the 0th, I am
Very sincerely.
L. K. Sturkie.

That was some banquet giveu by
the Chamber cf Commerce Wednes
day niight. Mine Host Reeves did him
self proud in :he preparation of the
"bigleats." Satisfaction is the word
that suits every detail of the e /eiit.
Enthusiasm was Instilled into the be
ing of every true Orangeburger b^
the inspiring talks made by the sev
eral local celebrities. Col. W. G.
Smith made happy introductions and
responses to the various toasts ??re
prompt and to the point.

DEEP WELLS AT SPREVGFIELD.
Discovery Promises to be of Benefit
to Community.
Springfield, April 13.?Special.?
What promises to be of benefit to this
section is the discovery of deep water
wells with a considerable air pres
sure coming :'rom the earth.
Several years ago, a deep well was
sunk in the streets of Springfield, in
which the contractor struck rock at
a distance or' about 75 feet. After
getting through the rock, the water
rose to a point considerably above the
rock, and is being used to a consider
able extent by many persons, the wat
er being pronounced as the very best.
Last year Dr. H. A. Odum in sink
ing a well ca one of his plantations
near town, struck rock mixed with
shell, teeth, bones, etc., and after
passing, through this strata of rock,
found water in large quantities.
A few weeks ago, S. J. Boyleston,
who has recently bought a part of the
old Porter estate, started a contractor
boring a well. At a distance of 78
feet he struck an air current that
made a blast like an exhaust pipe.
This air current was struck just as
the drill entered the strata of rick,
indicating a seam or fissue in the
underground formation.
The well was continued through
the rock, and an abundant supply of
oure water gotten, although an im
mense amount of air is constantly es
caping from a point apparently above
the source of water.
The indications are that with the
proper machinery, artesian wells may
be bored here without a great deal of
expense.

A. Berry, soprano. Miss Sue Walker,

cured the services of the following
well known vocalists: Miss Simsie
iMcMichael, soprano, Miss Ruth Hall
man, contralto, G. A. Schifllcy, Jr..
tenor, D. H. Marchant, basso. The

An Old House Must Go.
The large house that used to be
the residence of the late Harpin
Riggs, situated back from the corner
of Russel and Broughton streets, was
partly destroyed by fire Thursday
morning at about 2 o'clock. Tili?
house was occupied by Jeff Ashe, in
which he conducted a boarding
house. The roof was burned and the
second floor damaged before the
flames were extinguished. The oam
age by fire and water was consider
able. There was $:i,000 insurance
carried on the house r,nd?000 on the
furniture. The house is the property
of Adden Bros. This old building is
a Iandmak, owing to the fact that
it is one of the few buildings that
were left standing after Sherman's
march through Orangeburg. This
house was used by Sherman's officers.
This house being within the fire dis
trict and damaged to such a great
extent, it will have to be replaced in
brick.
