These grants totalled 33,000,000 acres, more th in one-third is still unsold and cryi ag for settlers. The South ern has no such asset to be develop ed, and yet the expenditures lasc year by its land and industrial de partmer.: for developemnet exceed ed thos- ? of any other railway com pany in the United States with the single e :ception of one of the trans contine: tal lines.

Oral geburg and St. Matthews played three games of base ball here 1; st week, Orangeburg winning all thi ?e games. All of them were interes :ing and hard fought, but the Oran? burg team proved more than a mat h for the visitors, who fought hard. The St. Matthews team is compo led of a fine lot of young men, and they took their hard luck like brave fighters should. Their deport ment on the field and off the field stamped them as gentlemen.

ORANGEBURG COUNTY FINANCES The Figures of This Year Compared With Last Year's. As stated in our last issue a set tlement has be.en made between Or angeburg County and the State for the present fiscal year. The Even ing News says the settlement shows that the total expenses or the coun ty for the year June 30, 1910 to June 30, 1911 amounted to $67, 468.21 This money was distributed as fol lows: Townships $19,650.65, court expenses, $4,454.75, for general county expenses, $43,362.81. The ? cash on hand at present is as follows: i school purposes $19,277.32,v state $82.92, bonded debt $23,285.73. By a comparison of the settlement of last year it will be se-?n that the . county this year is a little behind 1910. The settlement for the year ending June 30, 1910 showed that the total expenses amounted to $56,- < 277,78. Of thi3 amount $10,615.34 ! was used in the townships;, while the i amount for court expenses was $4, 058.00, leaving $41,604.44 for gen- : eral county expenses. By these two settlements the debt of the county on June 30, 1911 was j $22,085.63, while on June 30, 1910 i the county debt amounted to only ! $16,206.69. Thus it will be seen ] that the county at present time is ] just about three months behind. I The item of township expenses ! listed in the settlement is made up of a one mill levy, the ~mmutai;lon ( road tax and the apportionment; of 1 three dollars per mile for public 1 roads in each county Tram the gen eral county funds. City Election CT; at, . There are many rumon going the rounds in reference to the city elec tion. One is that all the present alder- ^ men will be candidates for re-elec Another is that the friends of Aid- j man Sain -will enter 'him as a candi date for mayor. Still another is that .'.-Ir. Wallace Crum will be brought out by his friends for alderman. Still another is that the friends of ex-alderman Noah W. W^rtz will en ter him in the race for aldermanic * 'honors. He would make a good race as he would likely have the support of Mr. W. B. Thompson and Prof. A. J. , Thaekston for the assistance he gave ' them in controlling the city school trustee meeting. It is also thought that the last two named gentlemen would warmly sup port Mr. C. D. Kortjo'hn for a munic ipal office after the election, should he aspire to one, for his assistance to them in controlling the city school trustee meeting. There may be nothing in the above and we only give them for what they 1 are wdrth. In the meantime we give all the gentlemen named notice that The Times and Democrat is ready to let all know that they are in ' the race for municipal honors for a p small consideration. Bank Stock Sells well. I The St. Matthews correspondent of | tb? News and Courier says as an out-j c. the recent changes in the Home! Bank, twenty shares of Its stock came on the market. The par value of the twenty shares is $500 and it was sold for $S00, or $40 the share. The hank was established in 190*; with a cap Pal of $25,000, lust fh\. years ago. Its surplus and undivided profits now amount to $13,345.77. This record has been made in spite of strong and vigorous competition *nd is doubt less exceeded by lew young banks in the State. It nas i aid out S per cent t.n rho stc-ckhrldtrs every year of its life. Blease Expected to Speak. Gov. Blease is expected to be pres ent and speak at a picnic to be held at Fogle's Mill in the Fork next Wed nesday. The Governor has a good many friends and will be greeted by a bi<; crowd. FARMtfiS INSUiUE NTERESTING MEETING FOR FAR MERS AT CLEMSON Professor Barrow. In Charge Of Ex tension Work. Invites All Far mers To Be Present. Prof. D. N. Barrow director of ,the extension work and Farmers' Insti tut? division, has arranged the fol lowing programme for the big insti tute to be held early in August: It is planned to hold August 8 to 11, a round up institute at Clomson College, somewhat similar to the one held last year and all men who are interested in improved Agriculture are invited to be present on that oc casion. The expenses while at the College will be one dollar per day Cor meals for adults?children under 12 years old fifty cents. The college regrets very much that it cannot in clude in this invitation ladies as well as men, but unfortunately it is not fixed to take care of ladies and there fore this invitation will have to be confined to the men. Prof. Barrow says: "It is well for those coming to send a card ask ing that beds be reserved. All who, up to the number of the capacity, do this will be guaranteed a bed. Bring witlh you what covering you need, pil low and towels so that you may be comfortable." The railroads have been asked to give reduced rates for the occasion and we have every assurance that this will be granted. Due notice will be given through the daily press.

In some places the seasons i have been ideal. Russell Zmmerraan ! has 225 acres of cotton in the clay belt, from which conservative judges 1 estimate he will gather 3 00 bales? jarring unforseen calamities. In oth er sections the drought is practically unbroken. The old corn is hopeless and unless good rains Pall promptly, 'Juno' team of peacocks" can pull the eoiton to market this fall, from the sandy lands. Colored Boy's Leg Broken. A small negro boy was run over and his ler brken at the. corner of Russell and Church streets on Satur day afternoon by an automobile driv en by Mr. Edgar Mack, of the Cor dova sectin. It is said that the boy was playing in the street when he was hit. The accident occurred near where officer Edwins collided with an automobile some months ago. Murder for Robbery. Paul Geidol, a 17-year-old bellboy, was arrested in New York early Fri day as the murdererofWm. Henry Jackson, the aged Wall street broker whose pody was found in h's apart ments at the Iroquois Hotel in 44th street Thursdav. Robbery was the object of the mui der. SOCIETY NEWS. What's Happening in the Local So ciety Kingdom. One of the prettiest weddings of the season was solemnized at the pretty country home of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Riley, near North, Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock, when they gave their daughter, Maude Ann, in mdrriaiie to Andrew Jackson Hy dnick, Jr., of this city. A large number of relatives and friends were present. Uust before the ceremony a short musical programme was given by Miss Annie Hydrick and Mrs. D. A. Ronerts of Columbia. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march im pressively rendered by Mrs. Roberts, a cousin of the bride, the bridesmaid Miss Essie Hydrick, entered the cer emony room upon the arm of the groomsman, M. Eugene Ziegler, fol lowed by the groom and his best man Onan Hydrick, brother of the groom. The dame of honor, Mrs. D. R. Sbur kie, a sister of the bride; the maid of honor, Miss Mattie Tarrant; lit tle Grace Sturkie bearing the ring in the leaves of a lovely white rose en tered as named. The bride came in upon the arm of her father. While the ceremony was being performed by the Rev. T. L. Belvin, the flower song was played. The ring ceremony was used. After congratulations the guests were invited into the old fashioned dining room, which was a bower of loveliness with its soft glow of deli ciously tinted candles, its garlands ever green and banks Of ferns .and pink roses. A delightful course of salads, fruits, ices and minis was served to the 75 guests. The east parlor was tastefuly dec orated with ferns and palms. In the alcove there was placed a large dou ble arch of whie, with a background of ferns, begonias and draperies of evergreen. The bride is the youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Riley and a graduate of Columbia college. The groom is a popular member of the Orangelmrg bar. The bride wore an exquisite .'gown of white inessaLine, with lace and pearl trimmings en train. Her veil was gracefully held in place with a wreath of orange blossoms, ?he carried in her arms a bouquet of bride roses and ferns. A wedding trip was taken to Asheville an other points. WILL RAIN THIS WEEK. All Drought Districts Will Soon Have Good Showers. The remaining sections of the country which are still suffering from severe drought will, in all probabili ty, lhave rain this week, according to the forecast of the "Dutch Weath er Prophet," which was published in The State on March 14. W. P. Hon seal, of Columbia, who is known as the "Dutch prophet," said lately that all other portions of the forecast Which he made in March have been fulfilled, notably the periods of pre cipitation which were central on March 18, April 14, May IL, and es pecially June 7, when Columbia had fine rain, and July 5 when the drought was broken throughout the cotton belt except portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The central period of precipita tion which Is now due according to the forecast of the Dutch prophet is August 1. This period embraces S days. July 19 was also one of the periods whsn there was more or less -ain throughou.; the cotton belt. Mr. Houseai said that not with standing a well recognized authorit> in some quarters of weather condi tions, had predicted a dry July, his forecasts are based on a different the ory which induced ihim to predict more rainfall generally in July than any other month so far this year, and that during the period which is central August 1 he confidently ex pects all the drought districts will have rain, even Charlotte and Salis bury. They Work the Road. The St. Matthews correspondent of The News and Courier says "the far mers along the old state roa.i saw no reason to stir the dust any further, ?o they laid by, and magnanimously put their teams and forces to work upon the automobiie highway, pass ing through ther respective sections. They have dene this, primarily, for their own benefit, hut they also take a pride in making "their road" the official route for State motorists. The ?itizens of St. Matthews have con tributed liberally towards this work und there is no longer any reason to loubt that the highway will eventual ly be a beauty, so far as Calhoun County is concerned. The impres sion here is that Columbia will re spond generously to the task of shap ing up the treacherous "Hazaboo" Swamps, as Leximrton county is little interested in that road which is an exclusive feeder for the Capital City. BaMfc Selects Home. The St. Matthews correspondent of the News and Courier says at a meet ing of the Farmers' Bank committee Friday it was decided to do business on the eastern side of the big bridge. This will probably relieve tlu1 promo ters of the responsibility of a fourth bank for the town. The new and handsome brick buildlnts on the cor ner of Main street and Railroad ave nue will be the home of the now in st itu ion. Man's Wants?ami Woman's. The Gaffney Ledger says "one of the neatest bits of paraphrasing heard recently in Gaffney was pulled off by a book agent in The Ledger of fice and for the benefit of our male readers we dare the wrath of the fair sex and repeat it: "Man wants but little here below, So Pope and Goldsmith say; But woman wants it all you know, And wants it right away."

'Miss Elize Izlar is spending the summer at the home of her uncle, Congressman George S. Legare, in Pickens. The speculators are doing all they can to pound down the price of cot ton, but the farmer should set steady in the boat. Cotton bas reacher a critical stage, and unless rains come pretty soon the crop in this setcion will be badly damaged. Toby Lawton, a Bamberg negro, was arrested Friday night and will be tried for using the mail for ob scene purposes. All merchants having engaged space in the booster edition of the Times and Democrat are urged to send in their copy at once. The Methodist Sunday school held an open air session Sunday after noon.

A new shipment of popular copyrights were received Friday and are on sale at fifty cents per volume. The city government collects and spends a good many thousand dol lars of the people's money, but the people know very little about what it is spent for. Mr. D. L. Stroman, of Cameron, sent us a half dozen Alberta peaches the ott er day that were hard to beat. Two of them were about as much as we want t eat at one sitting. To iget out 7,000 copies of an 8 page paper in less than three weeks notice is a large undertaking, and anly newspapers with up to date type setting and printing machines can do it. The candidates for mayor and ald ermen should meet the people face, to face and let them know bow they stand n certain questions, such as the creation of a recorder and other offices. 'It is the opinion of a great many that the city council should take the people into their confidence and let them know what the thousands of dollars collected in taxes and licenses are spent for. Tien will be an ice cream festi val at the residence of Mrs. George B. Reed, of the Bull Swamp section in the interest of the Bull Swamp Baptist church from fi to 8 Thurs day coming.

The Calhoun Advance says: "Mr. Rush Westbury who is with the Smith's Cash Store, has accepted a position with W .L. Moselev in Or angeburg, who conducts an up-to-date dry goods store there. He leaves here in August 1." Most people are under the impres sion that an act would have to be pas sei' by the legislature before the of fice of recorder could be c-eated by the city council. This is a mistake. The city council has power to estab lish a recorder's court without furth er legislation. A special from Fort Motte to The State says Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Grif fith entertained at a delightful par ty Tuesday night in honor of Miss Mae Felder, of Orangeburg. Five ta bles were arranged on the veranda, and bridge was enthusiastically en joyed, after which refreshments were served. Kohn Leaves For New York.
