Barton's sheep fold furnished Webster's pic nic ,wiih mutton on Thursday night. There were but four persons with .whi'e skins at Webster's meeting: the Websters, IS. W. M. Mnckey and .George Boliver. It is reported that the river at eomc point between Orangeburg and Branchville is blocked with rafts for the want of sufllcient depth of wnter. We regret to hear of the death of the little son of Mr. Hugh Beck, .which occurred on Sunday last. We tender the parents our deepest sympa thy. TUESDAY and Wednesday may safe ly be put down as among the hottest days known in this latitude. The thermometer reached on Wednesday 100 degrees in the shade. The Sunday School pic nic of He bron Church is appointed for the fourth Saturday of this month. We trust the little ones will have a nice time, and the school greatly benefit ted. Watermelons ae becoming plen tiful in town and sell at prices vary ing from 5 cents to 35 cents each. We fear the drouth has seriously af fected the growth and taste of the melons. He who looks on beauty with a pure affection forgets the lovliness of the body in that of the soul, and rises by means of that earthly beautv ,to the great artist, to the very essence .of loveliness. .Office hours ?on-,8junday at Dr. Wannaraaker's Drug Store from 8 to 10 A.

In case of emergency access c,an be had to the Drug Store any ?m,e during the day or night. ?The Young Americas were on pa rade Tuesday evening. ; We are glad to see this handsome Fire Company on the streets ; it bcrves to remind our citizens of their sad need of an efficient Fire Department judiciously provided with effective engines. The dwelling house of A. Smith, colored, in the neighborhood of Mr. W. )V'. Cnljpr on the Bull Swump Jloatl, was entirely consumed by fire, on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. No reasonable cause can be assigned for the fire. Everything in the house was lost. The attention of policemen is call ed to the crowd of young negroes which collect evory Sunday afternoon }i\ the old field between the town and river. They are noisy, vulgar and often riojous and should be locked up Of Sundays until they learn to behave themselves. We would ngain call the attention of our readers to the fact that the time for making tax returns will ex pire on the 20th of the present month. Those who thus far have neglected, the matter, had better at tend to it at once before the penalty attaches. Prof. W. W. Duncan, of Wofford College, is on a visit to our county in the interest of that College. He will attend to-day, to-morrow and Sunday a Sunday School Mass Meet ing and celebration at Union Camp Ground in lower St. Matthews. The people of that section will enjoy a treat. Mr. A. Jourdain of Middle St. Matthews brought lo town on luat Wednesday a fine fot of July grapes, all of which he sold at ono cent per bunch. This is another proof of the abundant resources of our county and climate. Tho grapes were ripe, sound and well 'developed: Franco itself could not beat thjs.' O, that Coru Whiskey at .Van Tassel's. .It is as clear and pure as the mountain streama^here it was made. ;Don't fail to get. some, for it is unsurpassed in quality or price. * The survivors of Ilagood's and Simonton's regiments,who were mem bers of the Edisto Rifles, met in Qr angebnrg on July 4, and organized a survivors aaspciatipq. Full particu lars neit week. j A regular quarterly meeting of ,tho Edisto Rides will be held on the eve ning of the 1.0th instant, at the En gine Hall. A full attendance is de sired as an election for ofllcera will take place. The communication in reference to Mr. Mack's School, at Lewisvillc, reached us too late for publication. Communications intended for our pa pear must be sent direct to our ofllce ,to receive attontion. The following officers were install ed in Edisto Lodge, No. 33, I. O. O. F. , at last regular meeting for the en suing term : Dr. T. K. Malone, N. G. j J. G. Boliver, V. G.; J. M. MeyerB, Secretary ; A. R. Chnirpy, Treasurer ; J. A. Williams, O. S. G.; F. DeMars, P. G. A fine rain fell in Orangeburg and the adjoining communities on Sunday afternoon. Whilst we rejoice at this visitation of Providence to our farm ers and gardeners bore, we regret the rain was so limited in territory. A tew miles from town in every direc tion the earth is dry and the crops are suffering greatly. We regret to chvonicle the death of Mrs. Eliza Till, wife of Mr. John Till, of this county. Mrs. Till was in her seventieth year and was a con sistent member of Four Holes Bap tist Church, loved and esteemed by all who had the good fortune to know her. She leaves a larges circle of relations and friends to mourn their loss. . We have neglected up to this time to notice the decided improvement in the general make up of the Clarendon Press, under the able editorial man agement of our accomplished j'oung friend, Mr. Preston D. Mood, who graduated with distinction at Wofford College in the class of '78. We pre dict for him a bright career in the uncertain sea of journalism. The citizens of Middle Pen, Oood by's, Providence and Vances Town ships and all others interested in the crossing of Four Hole swamp at the bridges on the Five Notch road, are requested to meet the County Com missioners at the bridges on July 15, at ten o'clock A. M., to consult as to crrtain proposed improvements on the same. A full attendance is earnestly desired. . . We were glad to meet Mr. Wm. S. Morrison, a young man engaged in school teaching in Spartanburg Coun ty, last Wednesday. Mr. Morrison is traveling in the interest of a large publishing house and at the same time gathering correct information as to the schools of the State. He comes well recommended and is a gentleman, in every way, worthy of the confidence of those among whom he may be visiting. A temperance pic-nic was held at Bethel Church on last Friday, July 4lh. A large crowd of all ages and sexes was present and seemed de lighted with the speeches and dinner. Rev. O. A. Darby, Mr. J. J. Wood ward and Mr. J. W. Patrick, of our town, made excellent speeches which left impreasionB upon the consciences j of the hearers which will not coon pass away. We are glad to learn that this order is on the increase both in the town and country, and bids fair to do a noble work as an auxiliary of the church. Success to it. It is sad at any time to nnnoun2e the death of a human being, but par ticularly so to record that of a true friend, a kind relative and an affec tionate mother. Such was Mrs. Mary Crook, of St. Matthews, and wife of the lato Rev. John D. W. Crook, of t}je South Carolina Conference, who dipd last Monday morning at the residence of her son, Mr. D. W. Crook, aller a short and sudden ill ness. The daily lives of few persons accord nearer with their professions than her9. Mrs. Crook professed to be a Christian, an earnest follower of Jesus, and she lived up to that pro fession. Religion was a principle not a convenience with her. |t controll ed her actions, her words and her thoughts, bringing all into a sacred nearness with the lifo of Htm whom she followed and loved. As a friend we revere her memory and mourn our loss. Edistp Rifles' Pio nio. <It is seldom a country town puts on a livelior appearauco than that of Orangeburg on Friday morning last?, Tho sun had scarcely reached the horizon before the rapid movements of hojca<?3?,.wagons and.splcjicijs in uni form indicated that a day of more than ordinary interest.had been ush ered in upon our quiet community. At seven o'clock the life and drums begau the> call^nd ^scarcely a half hour ;ipas?ed before ;tbo Court House Square was full of soldiers r 1 veter ans of tho Edisto Rifles awaiting the order to fall in. The members of tho present Edisto Rifles, having formed and under the command of their gallant Captain, Samuel .Dibble, escorted th? veteran Edistos .con> ma mied by Gen. Jas. P. Izlar, to the pic-nic ground near tho river. Soon the toad was thronged with wngons3 buggies, carriages, horsemen and pe destrians, all ?aatening to the grounds to take part tp the festivities of our national day; and in the moving crowd were to be seen many of our county eitiroim and even strangers from the adjoining counties who had come many miles to unite with Or angeburg's favorite command in its annual celebration. All having arrived aud comforta bly adjusted themselves in various sections til* the grounds, the pro gramme of amusements was opened by bag rnees for the little boys, the winners in which were presented with sticks of candy sufliciently large to keep them happy the rest of the day. A tnrget, provided with a bull's eye, was prepared for the little gills and grown ludies jvh? felt disposed to engage in such amusement. Blind* folded and armed with a convenient weapon they made some most laugh able charges upon the"target and thrusts nt the bull's eye to the great diversion of the by-standers. These games were indulged until the hour arrived for the meeting of the Avar survivors of the Edistos before whom Gen. Izlar gave a most interesting historical sketch of the command from the dny of its first organization near thirty years ago down to the present tiin<\ We will not attempt to give any part of this address at the present time, but will publish the whole, corrected and completed, in a future issue of the DEMOCRAT, for the benefit of our readers. Suffice it to say at this time, that the address was forcibly written and at times elo quently delivered iu Gen. Izlar's hap piost style. A pleasing feature of this meeting was the presence, as the presiding olllcer, of the venerable Mnj. .lohn J. Sallcy, who was the first commmanding officer of the Ed istos, having been elected their Cap tain at the organization near thiily years ago. Maj. Sallcy is a gentle man of a liberal education, having been two years at West Point in his early life, and is highly esteemed by the entire community and greatly be loved by all who cujoy the good for tune of his acquaintance. May he live to preside'at many such annual celebrations of tho survivors of his old command. 1 Captain Dibble being called on for a speech gave perhaps the only ac ceptable excuse for not obeying the call by announcing dinner and invi ting the Edistos, both present mem bers and survivors, with their guests to partake of the hospitality ptovided by ihc friends of his gaiiant com mand. The citizens of Orangeburg, both county and town, are somewhat noted for their generous hospitality on occasions of this kind and it seems always that the last is the most gen erous provision ; so of this, it appear ed the best wc bad ever enjoyed and the wonder is that a single Edisto survived it. Alter dinner the target shooting of one hundred yards took place and jthe fol'owiug riflemen were awarded prizes in the order named : Lieut. Goo. W. Brunson in three shots made fourteen scorcs and was awarded the first prize ; Serg't P. G. Cannon and W. L. Ilarley made each twelve scores, and on the fourth shot Serg't Cannon won the second prize and private Ilarley the third prize. Pri vate F. M. Kimmey took tho prize for the best single shot, scoring five. Of the survivors, Mr. W. V. Izlar received the first prize; Mr. L. J. Iz lar, second prize; Stephen Bozard, third prize; James Cannon, Sr., fourth prize ; and Gen. Jas. F. Izlar, the fifth prize. At the target shooting by the la dies, distance twenty paces, tho fol lowing were awarded prizes : Af rs. P. G. Cannon, first prize; Miss Ida Ransdnle, second prize ; Miss Alice Ransdale, third prize; Miss Lily Williams, fourth prize; and Mrs. Lizzie RobinBon, fifth prize. After tho shooting wa9 over the company was formed for a popipeti tivc drill in the manual of arms and exercises or calisthenics before a committee of judges, and after a test of an hour or more tbo following was tho report made by the judges : Pri vate T..O. S. Dibble, prize for the best drilled man ; Serg't P. G. Can non., prize for the second best drilled man | Pr^vare.J. M,. Myers,, prize for the third best drilled man and Pri vate John Holman, prize for the best drilled in Calisthenics. This part of the programme was executed with a, promptness, which inflects great credit upon Captain Dibble and the pfllccr8 and soldiers under his com mand. We have seldom witnessed a better drill even in tho best compa nies of the State, and rarely ex 'tied by the military etuticnts of our i er ugo schools. Orangeburg is pre 1, and justly so, of the Edistos, but seems to us thai the hearts of o moneyed men ought to bo openet?, and their purses too, to provido a handsome uniform for this command. Nothing adds more to the credit of a community than its military, and nothing improves the appearance of a company more than the uniform of its members ; and if wo wohld enjoy the just pride we feel in the Edisto Rifles, let us uniform the members in a man ner commensurate with that pride aud the skill of the command. Noth ing is ever lost by building up and supporting a laudable personal pride. Every town of any individuality can bonst of some militarj' organization upon which it looks with pride on oc casions of county or State parade, so let Orangeburg town foster the Edis tos and the county, the various or ganizations in her respective commu nities. v Thus was closed the programme for the day's enjoyment and the crowd began to disperse and to return to their Jiomes delighted with the suc cess of the occasion and with another opportunity of social intcrcouise be-' tween neighbors and friends and even between communities of our county. The grent success of this will, we trust, embolden our citizens to enter upon the festivities of the next fourth with redoubled zeal and more exten sive preparations, in order that the whole county, military and citizens, may participate in its joys together. Notice. At the meeting of Pomona Grange held at Washington Grange, on last Saturday, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, much of the poverty and destitution of the farming classes is owing to their isolated condition, and a consequent lack of general informa tion. Only by social intercourse can genial sympathy and evcry-day need ful information be obtained. Only by union of means and efforts can the best markets aud cheapest supplies be secured. Hence, our Grange meet ings are designed to broak up the sol itary separation of families; lo give to all the information which each ha3 acquired, concerning the best metb' ods of farming, housekeeping, mar keting, &c, and to unite the knowl edge and skill, and gains and savings thus acquired (or the banefit of all. Resolved, That this Pomona Grange adopt the recommendation of the National Grange, to remit all past dues for defunct Sub-Granges and delinquent members, except dues for the quarter in which application is made. Resolved, That this provision hold good for six months from its adoption. Resolved, Hint all Sub-Granges are urged to make known these pro visions in their jurisdiction ; and that Brothers and Sisters nre requested to use their efforts to increase our work ing membership, that co-operation in our etforts may be extended. Resolved, That the Secretary have this preamble and resolutions publish ed in the county papers ; and that the Lecturer and Executive Commit tee visit all the dormant Granges, and endeavor to re-organize them.
