THE ORANGEBURG NEWS J. FELDER MEYERS?Editob, GEOBOG ?OLIVEK, .-. financial and business manager. SATURDAY, SEPT. 3,0 1871.' Every article for the Oranomduro News must be acoompanied by tho real name of the author--not necessarily for publica* tion, but us a guarantee of good faith on the part of the writer. , Court, &c. Monday next will doubtless bo a busy day in Orangoburg. And surely a busy day will bo a treat. The long, dry, dull Summer season has passed nnd chilly mornings nnd now and then arrivals of cotton bales remind us j that tho planter's year of toil is over, njul give promise of a livelier aud better term. The first invoice of cotton com ing into town has to go to satisfy liens nnd pay for advances. This the first in voice is now coming in. But this arriv al of "king cotting" benefits only the lien (loan) it en. The planter goes in, delivers his bales tho first fruits of the year, his lien is returned to him. Ou it is written "satisfied.Magic word ! Insatiate commerce "satisfied !" Lucky planter 11 But luckier yet, for not only on his lien but on his face (not lean) is written "satisfied." Tho farmer thus "satisfied," is now prepared to make "advances" instead of asking them. And he docs mako "advances" of jovial, genial heartiness nnd renews his ac quaintance and friendship. But the second term, the "golden age," is dawn ing and tho cotton that goes to pay for extras is coming in. These extras make tho heart of trader nnd planter merry. They fill many a little gap and many a little purse, This halcyon season of the second invoice will culminate at sales day. Monday next will bo salcsday: This, of itself, ipso Jacto, draws a c~owd. Somebody is to be sold out and somebody will buy iu. But new and additional attractions will draw a crowd. Court is to meet. Court with all its concomitatus, Judge, and lawyers, aud client- and witnesses all will bo here. A crowd docs our heart good. Some in tho crowd .will pay back debts. Subscriptions are per haps among these. Ourppirits rise with the crowd. .Judge Graham, than whom no greater or better man has come to dispense justice at Ornngeburg, will be here. Mr. Solicitor Seabrook is already here, aud is meeting and making friends. This gentleman has just returned from a visit to the North, and has been prevent ed from going back to Charleston on ac count of the epidemic prevailing there. "We can heartily say that he is welcome here. This gentleman, while a Republi can, bears a name that is historical in South Carolina, aud is possessed of qualities thut huvc distinguished those of his cloth in the past. His chaste and earnest addresses while representing tho Stato (his own State) in her effort to vindicate the majesty of her laws, have never failed to attract attention and admiration and have elicited expressions of eulogy from tho bar nnd even from those who with less cause, are devoted to tho notions of the past. Besides this, possessed of social quaii *1-??* nr?. 'nvirceibl*? ;? r*T*idb" hn coming known and liked in our com munity. By that famous but unfortunate Judge Carpenter, he was respected most highly, and by Judge Graham he is esteemed rn able, reliable and efficient officer. Distinguished already in the field of literature he is making every day a repu tation as a lawyer. This gentleman, dissociated as it were from those cf his kindred, and boldly differing with thcin in advanced ideas iu politics stands out conspicuous nnd distinguished. Vnunr. vet in vcars, but known and rcspocted he gives promise of a remarka ble nnd distinguished career. But to conc'udo the Court. There will bo a tolerably full criminal docket, four cases of homicide being already re turned. The civil business, if tho question of the jury is settled, will pro bably occupy three weeks longer. "You need a little sun and air," said a physician to n maiden patient. "If I do," was llto reply, "I'll lrtvo to wait until I get a husband." The Next Lcairtti?Tua? will elect ft Judge to fill tho vi.oaucy ouusod by th'e death of Judge Platt. Peroral candi dates aro ont for tbo position. Wo have oauvasscd the chances of all those gentlemen. At present the ohnuccs aro that Solicitor E. B. Soabrodk will be elected to fill said vaeaboy. Mr. Sea brook is a youug man, but it is conced ed, even by his oppouents, that he is possessed of talent sufficient to warrant a faithful and creditable discharge of duty upon tho judicial bench. Those of our friends throughout tho Stato, with whom we haven't spoken to on this sub ject, we hopo will give it a favorable considcratiou, and in November elect Mr. E. B. Seabrook to fill the vacancy of tho lamented Judge IMatt. The next campaign will be a lively affair. Alrcudy men arc hob and nobbing with this and that man for his support. Various candidates, for the various offices of this County'arc before the people. Several stratcgems have ulroady been resorted to to defeat at pres ent the most popular candidates, but wc tell tlto ones who have adopted these means of warfare, that they will be bea ten nt their own game. Let them war against whom they may, and rely upon their present non-rcsistancc to such proceedings but tho day is not far dis tant when they will rue tho spirit which actuated them. As for us, wo say pre cisely that we will only support those whose record is unimpeachable. Give us cither an out-and-out Democrat to fill every office in Orangeburg Couuty rather than one single otic of those who only adopt the name of Republican for the Hake of greedy gain. ([COMMUNICATED.] Mr. Km: on.?At the next election to be held in this State, there will be elec ted a Solicior of each Judicial Circuit. As the last Solicitor was a citizen of Char leston, 1 propose that we ask our friends in that city to give us a showing this time. Crangeburg County is entitled to some notice, surely. No County in the State, according to her population, gives a larger Republican majority, nud I think wo are clearly entitled to some of tho public offices of honor and emolu ment. I therefore request that Mr. Thompson ff. Cookc'.s name be placed before tho public as a candidate for the Solicitorship of the First Circuit. And I hope ouv friends of Charleston will give us their support, In a future let ter I will B-V' why Mr. Cooko has a par ticular claim upon Republicans. VOTER, A Florida Phenomenon. The Florida mails give mcagro and vague accounts of an astonishing pheno menon at Ap'.pku, Orange County, near Palatkn. '1 he whole county disappeared in one night, and its sito is covered by a great take. A coirespondent, writing from the ne:ghborhood to the Palatka Herald, says : Mr. Alex K. Foster has just come in with more marvellous and startling ic ports. lie says that on his way from Orlando to Millonvillo, after crossing Fort Mctlin branch, he left :he road to avoid the constant bogging to which he was subjected. Tho safest place he thought would bo ou the crown of a high black jnck ridge, running parallel with the road, which he accordingly took. After riding perhaps a mile his horse commenced bogging, and for sonic dis tance it was questionable whether he could ?ot through ; he. however, reached more solid footing ; again he commenced uti^.??i , .1?. tuts time no noticed rc UlRrkublc and portentous sounds in his rear. Tho hogging grew worse ns he proceeded, until ho had to dismount; there scorned no escape for him, both ho and bib horse wore still hogging. The sounds in his roar increased more and more and became more and more alarm ing T??d the route in Iront more boggy? ho dare not stop, as this would have ren dered it im possible to have extricated himself?he neither dare nor could look belliml him, his whole thought and aim was to riach terra firina. At last after the most superhuman exertions, both he and his horse, exhausted to the most cx tremo dogroe, reached solid ground. Turning to examine into the cause of those fearful sounds in his rear, he saw the most terrific nod appalling sights it lias ever boon tny fate to listen to. Tho first thing that attracted attention was that the trees were moving?first a gyra tory motion of the top, then some sink ing gradually out of sight, the tops re volving more nnd more rapidly as they sunk and disappeared, others following, and as they fell revolving and describing w o o arcs of a circle against the sky. Thou the whole earth, ns far ns Ihe eyo could reach, sinking nnd its place supplied by n tea cf waters, rushing, seething, boil. iajj vitXi the noise of mighty ontsraets, und over and anon casting to tho surfaco the roots, tops or bodies of mighty piucs and oaks. Pooplo are rushing from tho scone of disaster. Our camp is crowded'with tho terror-stricken inhabitants from tho country iu our rear. Evorybody is wait ing the forebodings and horriblo expec tations. They bcliovc the day of judg ment has come. Tho cx.rnordinary phenomenon appears more and moro ex traordioary.

The Law ov Coiton Bales.?An Act of February 28, 1S71. passed by Congress, prescribes "that no looso hay, loose cotton, or looso hemp puall he car ried as freight ou any steamer carrying passengers; nor shall baled cotton or hemp be carried iu such steamers unless the bales are compactly pressed, and thoroughly covered with bagging or similar fabric, and secured with good rope or iron bands; and every bale of cotton or hemp that shall be shipped or carried on any passenger steamer with out conforming to the provisions of this section, shall be subject to a penalty of five dollars; which bales shall be liable to 8cizute and sale lo secure the pay ment of such penalty." This the Journal of 4 omtnerce thinks, ought to bo a. sufficient inducement to planters to cover their cotton as well as to pack it properly. This Act is now in force, and us the penalty is easily col tbUvCU, USiu null as lite tUitaii iuiurs, goes to the informer, our Southern friends will do well to stir up all their packers on this subject. Every bale of cotton packed this fall and winter cugbt to be carefully covered in conformity with the provisions of this law. A Remarkable Dream.?In con ncction with the horrible Harper trage dy, the Lexington, Ky , Dress, of 1'rid iy tells a IllOSt iomarkable dream of one of the members ef the Harper family : "We were informed by Mr. Frank Harper that the wife of Wallace Harper dreamed, the Saturday night before the murder, that .lake and Miss Betsey were both killed by a negro man and boy, and that the man had long whis kers The description given of the man answers exactly to that of Tom Baker, one of the negroes arrested upon suspi cion of complicity in the murder. This is very strange, but what seems the strangest is that the horrid picture should havo haunted the dreams of a lady relative of the deceased only a day before bis murder." "His nitV-gritnage is over," ns the druggist's widow said when she Ordered an epitaph for his tomb-stone. ?'|WBbai?tipul Incident.?Tho fol lowing beautiful story is worthy to bo laid up io tho memory of every one : A poor Arab traveling in the desert mot with a spring of clear, sweet, spark ling water. U?ed aa he was only to brackish well*, such Water as this ap pearc i to his simple mind worthy of a monarch, and filling his leathern bottle from the spring, ho dutcrmiucd to go and present it to the caliph himself. The poor,man traveled a long way before ho renched tho prcsonco of his sovereign ami laid bis humble offering at his feet. The cujiph did not despise the little gift brought to him with so much trouble. He ordered somo of the water to be-poured into a cup, drank it, and thanking tho Arab with u smile ordered him to bo presented with a reward. The coiuticr around pressed foqp/nrd, eager to taste tho wonderful water; but. to tho SLrprise of all, the caliph forbade them to touch a single drop. After the poor Arab had quitted the royal presence with a light and joyful heart, the caliph turned to his courtiers and thus explained his conduct : Du ring the travels of the Arab," said he, "the water in his leathern bottle became impure and distasteful. Hut it was an offering of love, and as such I have re ceived it with pleasure. Hut I well knew that had I suffered another to par take of it, he would not have concealed his disgu-t; and therefore I forbade you to touch the draught, least the heart of the poor man should have been woun dcd." The act of this caliph was worthy of a Christ ion gentleman. Read the story over again, think about it and try to remember it when some one simpler minded than you aro exposes his igno rance while doing you u service. If you laugh and make sport ns the courtiers would have done, you ^yourself arc nei ther a gentleman nor a Christian. Tho truly great are kind to the humblest. It is the mean tnau who treats the ljwly with contempt. The Loud, tue Ladt and the Mysterious Telegram.?The Lon don Court Circular relates the following I anecdote respecting a noble lady, who [ is young, beautiiul and good : During the army bill debate her noble .husband, who is us proud nud loud of her as he should be, was just about to rise and deliver n violent attack upon j sonictitne or somebody, when a telegram j was ptfft into his hands. He read it, j turned pale and quired the House, called a cab. drove to the Charing (Truss station and went to Dover, and was no more heard of until tho .lcxt day, when I he returned to his own home, and ta his j first inquiry was told that the Countess I was in her own loom.
