The colloctiug in groupa of young
men about the street corners on Sun
day afternoons received a timely re
buke at the hands of the Mayor on
Monday morning last, which wc hope
will abate the nuisance.
Haity, happy, happy Christmas,
that can win us back to the dclu >ions
of our childish days ; that can recall
to the old man the pleasures of his
youth ; that can transport the sailors
and travelers thousand of miles away
back to his own fireside and his quiet
home I

Oun thanks are due the young la-1
dies of Pine Grove and Dr. Walter
II. Wolfe for a cordial invitation to
attend their entertainment to be given
at the churcb on the 23d instant. Wc j
regret that other engagements will I
prevent our attendance, but wish our j
young friends a nice time and a!
grand success.
Chief of Police Cannon showed us I
the other day quite a number of cun
ger balls taken from negroes whom i
he had arrested, and said they were
commonly canied by colored people
to protect them from witches, and
evil-disposed people and to give the ?
weurer perfect immunity from dan- j
gers of every kind. The heathens of
Africa do tho same thing.
He who said, "Sutler little children j
to come unto me" was the great roun
der of the gladsome feast of Christ
mas, and it is in His honor that we
uphold the feast and gladden the j
hearts of little ones he loved so dear- (
ly. It is a pleasure, a holy pleasure,
to make their smiles brighter, their
laughter cheerier and more musical.
Let us all, then proper!* celebrate
Christmas day.
Ocit thanks are tendered Mr. J. F.
Jackson, of Cowcnstle, for a sample j
of excellent syiup made from cane ;
of this year's growth on three-eighths j
of an acre of laud, from which he;
manufactured two hundred and forty
gallons. This is a yield of six bun
dred and forty gallons per ncrt:, and
is a complete answer to Mr. L. W. j
Weeks' challenge in a previous issue,
excelling him by forty gallons. H
Mr. Jackson's yield can be excelled,
let us have the ligures.
Saka Bernheardt is said to be "dis
tressed and indignant" over the rath
er fice comments of American journals
upon her character. Wc arc glad. A
woman who parades her tlelianee of
the laws of decency and morality,
forfeits the protection of her woman
hood and deserves the severest re
proaches. Aside from this, Ameri
cana owe it to their own diguity and
sense of respectability to express un
equivocally and freely their reproba
tion of such characters as that of Miss
Bernhardt.
On the near approach of Christmas
we find ourself holding a levee of de
parted Christmas nights. Silently,
into our study of imagination come j
these apparitions, clad in snowy man- i
ties, brooehed and gemmed with
frosts. The vissages c:' some nre
sad enough ; but, on the whole, 'tis a
congregation of jolly ghosts. Before
one apparition is a mound on which
tho snow is lying, and as we contem
plate that mound we wonder where
are the boys and girls of onr youthful
Christmas nights. Echo answers,
where.
Tue young ladies of Pine Grove
Lutheran Church propose to give au
entertainment on next Thursday, 23d
instant, consisting of tableaux, cha
rades, &c, to raise funds for repair
ing the church. The exercises will
begin at 11 o'clock, A. M., and din
ner served at half past 2 o'clock. The
public arc cordially invited to assist
these young ladies in their noble ef
forts to repair their church, and sure
ly no ono will withhold his patron
age when the purpose for which it is
asked is so praiseworty and commen
dable. Let every one attend to share
in the enjoyments, the dinner and the
honors of the occasion.
At Their Post.?The bonds of our

ers and their commissions signed by
the Goverhor, they are oil at their

terms, sun ender? (I cheerfully and re
tired with dignity, but Boliver, true
to his nature, had to be kioked out.
The niruirs of Orangeburg arc now

ministration in every department.

tend him our congratulations.
If an untruth is only a day old it is
a campaign lie ; if it is a year old it

How often the light smile of gladness

To cover a soul full of sadness.

Hon. C. Schurz, Secretary of the

documents.
We are glad to learn through a pri

If the rascality and deviltry carri
ed on in the Courthouse since the
time the Radicals first came into pos
session could be unearthed what a
stench it would be.
Anybody can soil the reputation of
an individual, however pure and
chaste, by uttering a suspicion that
his enemies will believe and his
friends never hear of.
Great sensation ! A Christmas pre
sent given to everyone who bu>s $1
worth of goods or more from Joseph

Among the varied and valuable
things at the Fair arc a Buggy, sew
ing Machine, Cloak, Dolman, Book
stand, and, in fact, anything you can
call for, even to Santa Claus himself.
The Geogia Dome Insurance Com
pany which donated ten dollars to the

We extend our congratulations to
tho people of Orangeburg County on
the general cleaning out the Court
house lias had. Bolivcr was the iast
telic of the days of rascality, but he
had to go.
The shortest way to get the best
bargains is to be guided by the ad
vertising columns of the Democrat,
where you will always find the names

Emerson, Fisher &. Co., of Cincin
nati, Carriage Manufacturers, have
donated an open buggy to the Yonog
America Fair through Mr. B. Frank
Slater. Such commendable liberality
is bound to receive its reward.
Messrs Bull & Scoville have our
thanks for a neat business calender

, Company which contributed ten del
I lars to the Young America Fair.
When a Yankee is struck by a
thunderbolt and knocked endways
clear across a ten-acre lot. the only
regret he feels upon recovering con
sciousness is the disheartening fact
that he can't capture the bolt and ex
hibit it for money.
With 6omo degreo of pride* we
mention the fact that Mr. Thomas M.
Raysor, of our town, at the recent ex
amination before the State Supreme
Court, was admitted to the bar as a
practicing attorney. Mr. Raysor is a
graduate of Wofford College, a young
man of fine address, popular manners,
and o( unusual mental capacity, and
wo predict for him a brilliant enrcet
as a lawyer, even in Orangeburg,
where he must compete with the best
legal talent iu the Slate. Having
been a student of law under the tui
tion of lion Samuel Dibble for some
time, be culms upon his profession
witb a foundation well laid from
which ho can, and will, build an hon
orable reputation and a prosperous
career. The field is largo nud invi
ting for just such young men.
Mit. Henry Koiin, Chairman of the
Managing Committee of the Young
America Fair, has secured from the
authorities of the South Carolina
Railroad tho following excursion
rates for visitors to the Fair from the
following points : Rrnncbville, $1.00 ;
St. Matthews, 80 cents ; Fort Motte,
Sl.23; and Kingsville, $1.55. Tick
ets to Orangeburg from these stations
must be bought on December 20th,
21st and 22d, at.d will be good for
three days from dale of sale. Ex
tensive preparations are being made
to make the Fair a grand occasion
and a suitable forerunner of the
Christmas festivities. Numbers of
persons from Ibis and adjoining coun
ties will attend, and the above low
rates will induce many on the line ol
road to spend a few days in our city
during the Firemen's Fair.
Early Wednesday morning, Mr.
Oliver Farnutn, of Caw Caw, found
that a bale of bis cotton was missing,
and, finding suspicious marks about
the premises, at once began to trace
them out. Pursuing the tracks close
ly be followed them to town and upon
inquiry found that his missing bale
had been purchased by Mr. Cornel
son from two negro hoys curly in the
morning. Seeming the aid of Mr.
Cannon, Chief of Police, the two
thieves were overtaken and one arres
ted?the other escaped to the swamp,
j but afterwards came in, gave up the
I money to Mr. Cornelson and surren
dered himself. Roth are in jail.
The political outrage mill of
Messrs. Abail Lathrop and Gcrlnck
continues to grind slowly. The fol
lowing additional arrests have been
made: Mr. Frank S. DeTreville,
W. J. DeTreville, jr., Julian A. Sal
ley, and Willio Hull, of our town.
The ostensible cause is some fancied
act of fraud based upon the testimony
often of a disreputable negro, but the
real, inner reason is to be found in u
mean spirit of revenge against a suc
cessful opposition, or a despicable
desire to make money by any means,
however low. There is no semblance
of right or fair dealing in the whole
proceeding.
One of the novel and unique fea
tures of the Firemen's Fair is the
illustration of the embarrassments of
Universal Sutfrugc, and of the tribu
lations those may expect to undergo
who venture to oppose the Woman's
Rights movement now agitating the
country. This will be exemplified in
a drama of extensive proportions, in
which a large number of visitors to
the Fair are expected to participate.
Further information will be furnished
as soon as ascertained, but us the
drama is copyrighted it is impossible,
at present, to give any of the particu
lars.
Our readers, iu their search for
Christmas dainties, should not fail to

And then what would Christmas be

again ! To make good egg nog it re
quires good whisky ; and it is u well
known fact that his liquors, wines
and cordials are the purest and best
1 sold in the town. *

only about ten days old. Long may

II. F. Melotyre, Collelon's Radical
Senator and jail bird, was sneaking
about our streets several days this

with his visit. Such characters
