Tho Orangebiu^g^J^mo^nii:. .A. Papor for tlio Pooplo. orangkuurg, S- C, jan. 8, 1879. Many a gobbler gobbled his last gobble on Christmas eve. A prisoner, Rufiia Smith, colored, availing trial Tor horse stealing, died iu jail on Tuesday before Christmas. The li\e buggy man of the North west is in town, and proposes to sup ply our citizens with buggies at low prices. S,00jhis advertisement ip. an otihqr column, . We >ro requested by Captain-Nv N. Ilnyden to state that the Orange -Height Dragoons will 'meet; at their PPparade ground.on the. first Saturday in January for drill. Read the article1 on our first page under the caption of "The Universal Christmas," which we clip from the columns of the News and Courier. It will doubly repay a perusal. Mr. Albert Bradlmm, of the San tee section, was struck on the head and seriously injured by Mr. B. A. Parier with a fence rail last week. A dog was the cause of the trouble. Our merchants and business men, influenced by their accustomed gen erosity, closed up on Christmas day, and gave their clerks an opportunity to enjoy the festivities of tho occa sion, jt Til -5--?1???r-*i A reward of ?150 has been offered by Gov. Simpson for the arrest of Alf McNinch, murderer of Wm. Kil gore at Laurens ; also an additional reward of $250 is offered by the rela tives of tho deceased. Our enterprise is meeting with marked success. We bad the pleas ure of adding to our subscription list during the past week the names of about thirty of our best citizens, and the cry is still they come. V The name of our paper has been changed from Edisto Clarion to Tn_ Orangeburg Democrat, and it shall be our aim to make Tns Df.mochat worthy of the support and confidence of the best people of our town and county. t Ocr friends will confer a favor on _us if, afte^_thcy got through reading their copy of Tim Democrat, thev will hand it to some neighbor. It may induce him to subscribe, and thus help along the good work of ex tending our circulation. Our thanks are due Messrs. Reeves &,Sheridan for a package of as fine 8egars as it has been our fortune to smoke in a long time. Our friends who use the. weed: will do well to give them a call. They keep also a fine supply of fresh and pure drugs and toilet articles. - We had the pleasure of meeting in town one day last week Rev. A. W. L?mar, tjie genial and accomplished cdltojr of yie Baptist Courier. Mr. Lamar is making Iiis paper ono of the best religious papers in the South, and our Baptist friends should sus tain it by a liberal patronage. At the beginning of this New Year let every one make new resolves and see to it that they arc kept. Turn over anew leaf and let its record be such that when 1880 shall come you may be able to look back upon the pre sent year and upon a period of life more profitably spent thau any of its predecessors. A Relict ok the Past.?"Wo were shown by Mr. D. j. Avinger, of Vance's Ferry, on Thursday, a sil ver coin something over two hundred and thirteen years old. It is in a good state of preservation, every word on it being perfectly legible. It is undoubtedly one of the oldest coins in the country. To what na tion it belongs we cant say. A colored man by the name of Wm. Ancrum on Chri3tma3 eve while oitting on a cross tie in front of Mr. W. H. Duke's house, waiting for Some companions, fell asleep and was caught by a passing train while in that condition. The unfortunate man had his arm broken .and sustain ed Other slight injuries before he could extricate himself from the train. Dr. A. S. Hydrick was called and amputated the limb. The Laurensville Herald, in notic ing a visit from our young fellow citizen, W. J. DeTrcville, Jr., to that town, says: "We had tho pleasure of welcoming to our sanctum, the other day, Mr. W. J. DeTrcville, the enterprising agent under Mr. W. P. Hix, Southern Agent for the intro duction and sale of D. Appleton &, Co's books. ?Will* is a good fellow, j&if lie docs 'cat oysters with the bark Personal.?Will the young men who sung "Grandfather's Clock" the other night on the public square, please repeat their concert next week sonic time at the same place, and stand a little way from the Court bouse so that the audience can get a good crack at them with a rock with out endangering tho property of the county. We make tho following extract; from a letter received a few days ago. As the writer is a young gentleman of fine ability and education, wo ap preciate the compliment It} contains very highly : "On the improved ap pearance of the Clarion, every man in Orangcburg county should* con gratulate you, a3.it is the (list time since the war that our county has been favored with a purely Democrat ic, decent and Yesp< ctablc paper." The colored people of Abbeville had an agricultural fair during Christ mas week. So far as we know this is the only county of tho State where the colored people have been go en terprising. Their example is worthy of imitation, and,.whenever attempt ed, should be encouraged. The col ored race are essentially an agricul- j tural people, and, adapted by nature to this pursuit, they should avail themselves of this great source of improvement. Charleston Evening Journal.? We have received the-Prospectus of n .?gLpapcr to be started in Churles i 4BV*ut 11,0 201,1 ?r Ju?haryi by Messrs. D. Jj. Alexander, J. C. R. Taylor and P. E. Parmelee, to bear' the above title. It will be Democrat ic in politics, and thorough in its ] business details. The subscription rates will be $6 a year, ar.d by the month 50 cenls. The above named gentlemen arc practical men, and we wish them the success that such au enterprise will entitle them to. In consequence of the genera1 de cline in almost everything we have concluded to reduce the price of our paper from ?2.00 to $1.50.pernn num. It is our object to build up a good and cheap family paper, one that our people can take a prido jn, and to this end we most cordially in vite the supt.ort and co-operation of all who are favorable to the estab lishment of a straightoui Democratic iqn.rnttlin Orarjgeburg Coonty. This county needs rA good paper, ancf With the help of her citizens we pro pose to supply the deficiency. Friday evening before Christmas, Mr. Florence Glover, near Lewis villc, aged thirty-two years, cutcred his room, brushed his boots, neatly dressed himself, lay upon the bed and deliberately placing a pistol to his right temple destroyed his own life. This is the third instance, of good citizens committing suicide in that section of our county within the past two months. Troubles of vari ous kinds, glowing out of the events of the score of years just passe.d, is said to be the cause. Would that this period was blotted out of our history and memory. Messrs. Mcllichanip & Edwards announce that they have purchased the Orangeburg Times, and in future it will be published by them as a Democratic paper. We see no reason why too well conducted newspapers in as large a county as this should not succeed, and, after all, iL may be best to have "two vents" to public opinion." If the sale is a buna-fide one, and we have no reason to doubt _i .!_ _ _i_/i ... lb uu bLlio btittu, rt? i .MCim tUC I'lglll hand of fellowship to Messrs. Mclli chanip & Edwards, and express the wish that the Times may be second only to The Democrat of all the country press in the Stale. Tub following resolutions were re ceived too hito for our last issue, and we take pleasure in publishing them this week : At n meeting of the "Eastcrlin Mills" Democratic Club, on Saturday Dec. 7th, 1878, the following resolu tions were adopted and ordered pub lished in the Orangeburg papers : I Resolved, That this Club feel it due to retiring Chairman of Execu tive Committee of tho Democratic [party of this county, Geu'l Jas. |Pv j Jzlnr, that they give expression to the ! deep sense of gratitude, that they in I common with the citizens of this' county feel that they owe to him, for his long continued services and devo tion 'o the best interests cf the coun |ty; the ability, untiring energy and perseverance with which ho watched | over and guided its political affairs to n triumphant victory.

On tho_cvening pfJChriswnas day some colored huh and boys bad a general free fight on Kussel 1-slrcct neargluo hotel, in which knives, ra zors, clubs, brickbats and promiscu ous swearing wero the _ weapons. Mayor Moselcy and the city police appeared upon the sceuc and arrest ed three of the ring-leaders. Mr. Wm. Fcrryclear deserves a prize for the prompt manner in whicli he stop ped a mad crowd from following one of the pi isoners. It was a stitch in time. Three colored men were stab bed~~during" the' fight. Alderman Saiu, while endeavoring to keep the peace, got his coat cut, and Mr. Kelly put a quietus upon one of the tribe in the shape of an Irishman's tap on the head. Mr. J. S. Erwin also received a slight injury upon his left hand while arresting one of the j belligerents.

Tin-; Orangeburg Agricultural So ciety met . at the Fair Building on Saturday, before Christmas. Not withstanding the very unfavorable weather there was a lino turn out and an interc'sting meeting. The policy of planting cotton to the same extent as heretofore was fully discussed by the members present, and Hie conclu sion arrived at was pretty generally in favor of planting it only as a side crop, while the fanner should address himself to a more abundant yield of grain, and other crops of necessity to the subsistence of the family and the raising of stock. It was adjudged impossible to grow the crop profita bly at seven and a half cents per pound, ami absolutely .so as a money crop to pay debts. Other avenues should be entered and other sources for making money should be sought after by our people. Heretofore we have depended too much upon cotton in the vain hope of getting a remune rative price and thus pay oir the debts we owe, but year alter year dis appointment have followed the farm er, and the greater efforts he made to grow cotton the faster debts accumu lated upon him, until now nine-tenths find it impossible to meet their pay ments. If it wero not for dobts a man might make cotton at the pre sent prices and live comfortably, but at its present value, and the poor prospects. of 'improvement in prices, be had better plant such crops as will enable him to live within himsetf and I the little he receives for cotton can be appropriated to diminishing the J debts. Our thanks tire duo and are hereby tendered Mr. T. W. Albergotti, for a sample of extra fine fruit, sponge anO pound calec, made at his bakery on Kussel I street. We have seldom had the good fortune to taste better, and can recommend Mr. Albergotti to all person who may need cakes ami confectionery put up in the best manner and style of the art.
