Since the article in another column "Was put in type the Governor has ap pointed Judge T. W. Glover to the office of Master. * We tender our thanks to Mr. S. A. Reeves for a sample of fine scgars. "When you want a good smoke call at bis store and you will bo suited. A laborer in the employ of Mr. John Richards killed a very large rattle snake near Stilton last week. The reptile had seventeen rattles. ? i Our grateful thanks are due Mr. D. C. Uimer, of Middle St. Mat thews, for a fine lot of his best varie ties of grapes, which we enjoyed as only newspaper men can enjoy a treat. Mr. E. P. Ilaigler furnished us with a basket, of choice luscious peaches, of which we made an old fashion pot-pie for the good of tho Democrat, on Sunday last. Thanks, Eddie. Mn. Dan A maker, while out hunt ing, shot and killed a very large rat tle snake in Hull Swamp last week. Mr. J. G. McKewn also killed quite a large rattle snake near town last week. Man is the fish ; woman,**! the line; TTfefarflstte tue llo?tTilW kiss the bait; love is the hook, and marriage is the frying pan. Some how or other the men all try, to get into the frying pan, though. ? ? . :? ?? i We arc glad to learn that Mr. Charlie Brunson, who" has been so long painfully ill, is slowly improv ing. We trust the means used for his restoration to health may be bless ed with abundant success. _ ,; Cattle Creek Camp Meeting is now in progress and we understand that many of our citizens propose to attend on Saturday and Sunday. We hope they will have a nice time and return wiser and better men. Office hours on Sunday at Dr. Wannamaker's Drug Store are from 8 to 10 A. M., .and from G 1-2 to 8 1-2 P. M, In cases of emergency ac cess can bo had to tho Drug Store any time during the day or night. We have been pained to learn of the death of the little child of Mr. M. Salley, which occurred during our absence. Our sympathies are with the patents and trust they may be comforted by an implicit faith in Him who does all things well. We would call the attention of our readers to the aduortiseuient of Mr. Z. J. King, dealer in foreign and do mestic liquors. He has Just received a full supply of pure and fresh moun tain whiskeys, which he sells at prices to suit the times. We learn that our energetic young townsman, Mr. Albert E. Glover, has gone to Augusta, Ga., as agent for the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma chine Company. We wish our young friond every success his enterprising spirit may demand. We heard of a young man the other day buying a melon for five cents and paying ft hoy ten cents for carry ing it home fo,y him. We need re form right along here. If you are ashamed to carry your melon home after buying it, give it away. Two of onr young friends left town under very suspicious circumstances last Monday morning. When a fel low visits bio old home, taking his "best friend" along, it looks as if something is going to happen. We feel assured, however, that friend Ribble \{\\\ sec friend Thompson through. A nnrty of young men left town on Monday last to spend a few days an fishing, frolip and fun. They camped near Shilling's Bcidgerund had a roy al time, catching many of the tinny tribe, and, as proof of their success, brought a fine quantity home. Nothing Like It.?That Corn Whiskey at Jos. Van Tassel's. One .can't, help thinking that it never was sampled i>y the Revenues, when he compares it with other brands offered at the same price. We've tried it in a medicinal way, and pronounce it a No. 1. * A young man by the name of Bur nett, who has been in Alabama ever since he was one month old, is now on a visit to his relatives on Bull Swamp. Young Burnett is about eighteen years of age, and, of course, is a perfect stranger to his kindred and friends. The attention of our readers and of all those who are interested in "Ye O'de Folkes Concerto" is called to the notice of Obadinh Primrose of a meeting at the Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church on the 25th of the present month. A full attend ance is desired. Ofii medical friends of the county will see notice in' another column calling a meeting of the profession with a view of organizing a "County Medical Society." This is a matter of great interest and should meet the approbation of every man of the medical profession. . We learn that a son of Mr. Hess Andrews, who disappeared when the Yankee army passed through Orange burg in 18??, returned on Tuesday last in search of his father. As a stranger he stopped at the hotel and made inquiries which lead to the hap py meeting of father and son. Wte were presented last week with a fine lot of choice vegetables by Mr. ?. W. Crook, of Middle St. Mat thews, for which our grateful thanks are due. Such favors are especially appreciated nt a time like this when gardens have failed almost every where and vegetables (are exceeding-' ly rare. "JVe learn that Mr. John English left town on Wednesday morning in search of remunerative employment. He is a line clerk, a most excellent book-keeper, and possesses other com mendable qualifications which will not be long in securing the work his industry demands. We wish for him abundant success. We direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. W. F. Robinson in another column, and as the time for planting turnips and early spring vegetables is ap proaching, a call at his popular store will savo both time and money. Watches and clocks are also neatly repaired by him at reasonable rates. D?RING the past week Policeman Henry Washington arrested "Jesus Brown," a suspicious character whom he found prowling about town. Upon enquiry it was ascertained that he had been driven out of Columbia by the Chief of Police, consequently Po liceman James Cannon was instruct ed to drivo him out of Orangeburg. A difllculty and personal encounter occurred at Fifty-eight, South Caro lina Railroad, between Messrs. Pink Berry and - Elkins, the last a hrother-iu-law of Mr. Berry, in which both of them were wounded by knives. Mr. Beiry was barely convalescent from his wounds when he was strick en down by typhoid fever and died last Friday night. We regret to learn that Lieut. L. H. Wnnnamaker has resigned his commission of Third Lieutenant of the Edisto Rifles. His skill in drill and known public spirit will ho a serious loss to the command, but wc trust the members will secure the ser vices of some ono who may fill his place creditable in performing the du | tics of so important an ofllce. Orangeuurg, S. C.| July 22. j Messrs. W. M. Sain & Go. : Dear S.'iis?I take pleasure in in forming you that the Elevator put into my well by your Mr. Meroncy gives entire satisfaction. It has im proved the tasto and looks of my water very much. I can recommend the Elevator to nil needing a good water elevator. Theo. Koiin. In Salem, N. C, the blackberry crop shipped from that place during the present year amounted to the very respectable sum of $30.0,000. Why may not Qrangcburg, where this berry grp\ys as abundantly as anywhere else, do the same. A small trafllc that amounts to such a huge sum should not ho despised. All that is needed is a spirit of enter prise. We learn through our subscribers of Sunny Plain .that the ,D,e.uocrat does not reach them until the Friday uftes date of publication. We regret this inconvenience and would .sug gest tbat tho mail carrier leave St. Matthews ?fter tho arrival of the morning train from Charleston. This will enable them to receive tho paper the eveniug of the date of publica tion. Tue attention ofl our vcadoru is in vited to the advertisement of Mr. S. L. Morgan, in another column of this issue. If our citizens desire beef of the best quality, and to have a good market in their midst, let them ob tain beef from Mr. Morgan and sup port bis market. Such an enterprise cannot be maintained without a liber al support, and Mr. Morgan ought to get it. Tho Methodist Church, South, at this place will be closed on Sunday next in consequence of the pastor be ing called to another part of the Dis trict. On next Wednesday and Thursday ulghis, however, Ih'ere will be preaching at the usual hour as in troductory services to the Third Quarterly Meeting which will begin by a business meeting on Friday evening.

Sheridan, Past Dictator. We had the pleasure of greeting and welcoming to our home Miss E. H. Van Lew, formerly an acceptable and successful teacher of our county, but now the principal of a flourishing school at Ellenton on the Port Royal Railroad. Miss Van Lew looks as well as in the days of yoro and soeras as de votedly attached to her professed life business, teaching, as ever. Our best wishes accompany her through life. The engine of Mr. R. H. Rlley near Jamison's Turnout, hursted on Saturday evening last, blew out the furnace, passed through the side of the gin house, broke off the breast of the gin, blew a nogro man about fifty feet, scalding, him severely from the thighs to his feet, and another negro man was slightly injured by the acci dent. The engineer, Mr. John Rich ards, was stunned for a while but not seriously hurt. Messrs. D. J. ami A. P. Avinger return their sincere and grateful thanks to their old comrades and fol low survivors of the Edisto Rifles for the kind hospitality so cordially ex tended to them on the 1th of July. They will long cherish the memory of a meeting which brought them once more in contact with the familiar faces of companions with whom they struggled . shoulder to shoulder through the hardships of limes that tried men's souls. The challenge to the AthleticDase Rail Club of Aikcn from the Orange was accepted and next Saturday ap pointed as the day to play a match game, but it being inconvenient for the Oranges because of business rela tions they had the game postponed until some day next week. In an ticipation, therefore, of tho contest next week practice games will be played on to-day and Monday next. We predict a brilliant victory for our Oranges. We make the following corrections in the roll of the Edisto Rifles pub lished on our llrst page : For A. Champey read A. It. Chain pcy. For Charles Barley read Charles Bailey. For Henry Barley rend Henry Bai ley. For Sultan Myers read Luther My ers. For Louie Shuttnight read Lewis Shultnigiit. ' For W. P. Law road W. P. Lar. Wk learn that our onterprizing townsman, Mr. J. P: Harloy, is en gaged in shipping shingles to Lcwis ville. We take pleasure in, roaming (his nolo because our swamps nnd forests abound \\\ tho host of timber in sufficient quantities to supply the demands of every accessible point along tho lino of rnWroari and river, and our citizens owning this timber, might make a profitable busi ness of it during this, dry season. Members of loafers' club can stick a pin here. Employment for you, gen tlemen. ? For Mayor. Editor Orangcburg Democrat; As tbo tituo for our town election is near, I deem it not improper to write you a short communication in regard to the candidate of the peoplo for Mayor. All will readily admit that the chief executive officer of our town should he a man respected by both races of our citizens; one. to whom all may look for exact justice in the administration of public af fairs'. ' He should be a nuan of nerve and decision, not fearing to net when the public good demands action, and car ing nothing for ephemeral public opinion, when,adverse to him, so long as he TlHoius that ho is right. Every community has not such a munasj this. Orangeburg is moro fortunate than mauy others are, she has a raau who possesses every qualification for mak ing an eflloient, acceptable and up right Mayor. Messrs. Editors, we have reference to the present incum bent, Hon. J. W. Mose ley. We write this without having ever spoken to Mr. Moscley in regard to the Mayor alty of our town. Wo know that it is not in unison with his feelings to be the incumbent of any public office, but we hope that he will again do, us he often did in the past, sacrifice personal interest** and pleasures for liio public good, and serve us for at least another term in the capacity of Mayor. W. Wants to be a Martyr. Editor Orangeburg Democrat: It is not surprising that the indig nation of the people was so generally aroused by the recent letter from Or angcburg to the Tribune ; but some think it would have been better to pass it without notice. TJicrc arc men who come here with the determi nation to be made martyrs of in some way. There are so many such at home, men of small calibre, that the chances of being made notorious arc few and far between. But this is a fruitful field. A page or two of mis representation is gobbled up by the many enthusiasts there, and the quite I ordinary man becomes the Lilliputian giant at once. The citizens of Orangcburg cannot I do'the author of that letter n greater favor, or please him better than to keep such matters before the public. If Grant or some other Republican should be elected President, there is no doubt this man would fill some fat office. The poor ni?rtyr of Orange burg. His evidently chosen position here uow, puts one in mind of the old lady with life preserver on hoard the steamer during a gale, "Do some one blow me up ! prav blow mc up." B. As we predicted in our last issue, it has been a busy lime with Mr. Korljohn. Having received a large consignment of Notions, Dry Goods, Bools, Shoes, Hats, tfce., he threw them on the market at unpreccdent , ed prices, consequently large crowds were in attendance, and largo sums of money changed hands as the bet ting men sny, but this is no game of j chance It is true this store receives most of the cash money spent in the town, but buyers receive the value therefrom two-fold. Strange must be the piece of humanity who visits this busy mart and goes away dissatisfied with goods, prices, proprietors or as sistants. Mr. K. has a full stock and receives daily new additions. It would bo impossible for us to predict what next will be ode red at this place, when huge family bibles as sold by traveling agents for twelve I and flfteon dollars uro ottered to you at $2.00, nnd long whale bone buggy whips at 40 cents, black cashmere atI 180 cents, worth 75?butwc will leave j Dick and his prices till next issue.
