-L_ . . jLi o c a l SATURDAY, jftJLY 19, 1873. MI FL a COi The young men of Orangeburg ore organizing a Riflo Company. The town of Frog Level hat been burnod tp jpshos. The Frogs have our sincere**'condolence. THANKS? The Nkws boys have to thank Brother Teague ot the Times' office for a water-melon treat. Alas! it is only the priuter who remembers the printers.

Waxclbaum^senior partner of the flourishing and .wealthy business arm of S. Waxelbaum k Bro, of Maeon, Georgia. Mr. J. S. Hertz, of Macon, was also iu town recently. BASE BALL? \ It is vory evident from what the Branchvillcra have to aay this week, that (heir Base Ball Club doesn't mean to be always beaten by the AJrangeburgers. We advise our boys to be on the lookout. Let them keep well in practice lest some fine day the ohampionship be suddenly transferred to the plucky little town at She junction. - ? -? "There's an awful dearth of local news 'this week. Won't somebody take pity on us and build a new church or start a jpaper, or do a little something in the larceny or burglary line?or something ?just for the pure g?>od of the plaoe ? 'We notice that a number of strangers are stepping at Mcroney's just now and we want 'to have thorn favorably im pressed with the Town?which is utter ly impossible i if thofc is nothing lively ?going on among us. LAUJJJJC T. IZLAR sWSG? "W e wars jjlsd to ?es An Kflrangeburg, Hhe other flay, our 'brother in law, or ?rather our law brother, (Lauris T. Islar ?Esq. Mr. Islar was admitted to the bar at oar laat Orangeburg Court after pas sing no examination in oapital style, but fiuding the profession rather over ? orowdod here, has hung out his shingle tin Midway, 8. C where, if ho has half tthe;ftseUssrh?.(deserves, he will do well. lHs|ihas->aurtbest wiahes. ? ... BRANCH VILLE? We are are indebted to H. Reed irh Esq., ior the Braaobville itetr s whieh appear elsewhere. Reedish would make a good "local" and, we n*P* h< trJ his hsnd at it often. Branekville is grewing and ought to kesp herself be foro the publio. If any of her oitizon. will constitute himself local editor for Branohvillo our columns will always be open to hitu. Try it yourself, friend. Reedish I Knowlton, of the Oraogeburg Nkws, is a good old Democrat, and, what is struuge, he ruus the best Republican paper in the country.? Abbeville Medium, (Democrat.) Our friends of the Medium iosiouatc a rather flue distinctiou botween Nature and Qraoo. Naturally, we can't help running a good Republican paper, but we have never ao far fallen from grace as to have any Democratic lea von inside of us. If wc do hold uny it would take a two million horse power micro scope to God it. The Medium com alimeuts our braius at the expeu.se of our morals. As to our being "old," brothers Hetnp bill, why, Lord love you ! we are iu the very Jlower of our juvonescence. THE NE W Oil A Hi MA X? We call attention to the notice in another columu by which it will be seen that Judge Andrews has been ap pointed chairman of the Republican party of this County We endorse fully the opinion cxprcsod by Mr. KUiott as to I Judge Andrews' qualifications for this important position. Since the birth of the Republican party iu this State it has had no warmer friend, no siuccrer mem bor and no more vigorous adherent than Judge T. 0. Andrews. TEE SBNATOR8H11*? Candidates for the vacant Senatorship are thick as blackberries. Among the tuost prominent are Ja??* T. C. Andrews. V. R. MeKiulay, Samuel Duncan, C. W. Caldwcll J. H. Livings ton, Dr. J. A. Keller, Beojaroin Hyas, Hnrpin liiggs, Dr. O'Caiu, and others. Wo write front tuenaory and may have omitted the names of some whu would like to appear in the list. If so, jutt let us know and we will rectify the matter next week. Judge Andrews eoems to have the inside track so far. The merchants have been jolly this week. You could see thorn at rho door of every store in Towu watchiug, with eager eyes, the numerous bales of cotton that have been coming iu For the last lew days, and anxiously wondering where the owners of the snowy fleece were going to "'pull up." If a waggon passed tho dowu Town stores, every body in that quarter looked miscrahle, while tho faces </f the up Towuers I looked like ao many happy half moons? and vice vertu, if the cotton came in from the other end of the street. Rut ; enough came to give every ouc a fair share and so, as we have raid, there ' has been a jolly lot oi merchants hero I this week. Considering the dry nature of geome trical figures?squares, circles, and the like?our friend S. R. Melliohamp, K-q., furnifhes a very lively communi cation upon the question \% to what is the true shape and form of Lewisvillc. Our readers will remark that Mr. Melli champ docs not din put o *tho position assumed by m iu faVor of tho circular shape of our sinter municipality. Wo do not see how there can bo two opinions upon tho subjeot. The act deolares that the town shall extend ouo third of a mile in ear h direction from II. IIcnnon'8 store. I Tho centre being determined, it only remains to inquire how many directions there are, the answer to which is, that from any given point there are as many directions as there arc points iu a oirclu?and the number of these, as mathematicians know, is infinitesimal. A<ad all the Unas ot direction being of the same length, tho result is, necessa rily,* oir.Cftl*r boundary. Wc were satisfied from tho first that the mtajtake was oot made by Mr. Melli ch am p. HON. THOMPSON II. COOKE? Judge Thompson II. Cooks in enjoying his summer vacation at Caesar's Head, in the Rlue Huge Moaotains. In a private letter to us, hia Honor aaya>:? "You eao give your readers no better advice thau to visit this mountain . The air is perfectly salubrious, and the aater is unsurpassed in this or soy other oouotry for ita purity and mine ral properties. The thermometer, ng< d ioto the eold spring, descends rapidly to rorty two degrees. Thie it oertahJy cool enough." And so' it is, may it please your Honor; but, with our mercury lost in the nineties, it awakene within us most un-christiao feelings of envy to read of snob cool springs and delightful atmosphere elsewhere. Here, we are only about a half degree shert of the roasting poitit. What will oone next, Heaven only knows. W* regret to learn that Judge Cake's hoalth is not good; but hope that the oharmiog climate he is now enjoying may soon rtstore him to his accustomed strength and vigor. DON'T ?LISTEN TO TBE HOOKING BIRD"? A geutloinnn who has been trav elling iu Virginia recently, in a part of the country where mint juleps and mocking birds are plentiful, says he has often heard those appreciative birds singing the following soag of a mom ing : ?'Getting late ! getting late ! Get up ! get up! get up! Ji< lip, iu lip, Ju Hp, J ? lip! Sweet, iwtet, sweet, sweet, sweet ! Taste, taste, taste, taste ! Get up, get up ! Ju lip, Ju lip, Jti-U'l'i'i-i-p.'" Our traveller goos ou to say that the imitation was altogether irresistible and j that the mncking bird is, really, a dan gerous animal. As we reflect upon it, it docs seem to us that this ia as near what the mocking bird aays as anything we have ever seen in print, and that he ought, certainly, to be looked after. Consequently we advise the Suue of Temperance to lay in a supply of fowl ing pieces and ammunition and to "go," generally, fur the mocking bird. BRA NCR 7 ILL E ITEMS? That largo, unsightly ditch running alongside Main Street, iu Brauchrille, h is been boxed and covered over with earth, adding much to the health and appearance oi the town. Mr. A. l.oryea, one of the bebt and must enterprising merchants of Braue h ville. has just bad completed one of the largest and best arranged store houaes iu the town. , Mr. K.T. K. Sntoake was the builder, aud receives much praise for the me cbauicsl skill displayed. The ?? Palmetto State Baso Hall Club of Branch rill?" has ro organized and has refused to discuss any subjeot uueounee ted with "future victories." The crops in the vicinity of Branch ville are generally good. There was a lively row in our Streets lust Monday. Peter Brown, acting as couatuble, endeavored to arrest lsaao Whitmorc, who demanded Peters au thority. No warrant being forth coming, Isaac struck out lustily for ''life, liberty and sacred ?ouur." Mr. Mao beth came hastily aud manfully to Isaac's rescue, but the constable bad already buert re enforced aud a pitched battlo began, Isaac and M; cbeth loprcseuting nue of the bclligeret.1 factions and a whole army of countable.*, with tho posse, the other. Joe went to grass at an early date but recovered his pins and succeeded in drawing a liberal supply of claret from the nearest man. Isaao got in heavily on a neighbor, but, being seized by a half dosen of the ene my at one sod the same time was obliged to succumb, nut iogloriously, to superior numbers. A diversion ia tho enemy's flank permitted him to rally, and support, for a moment,a "reconnoisaanee in force" which was at that junoture advanced by his trusty helpmate, but the Cannon of tho Town Council wheeling into sight just then, lease surrendered at discre tion The Marshal of the day deposit ed him in the guard house for sale keeping, but the town authoritiee, upon a council of war being held iu regard to the easus belli deeided that they had ne jurisdiction and Isaac was dismissed rejoiciog. A correspondent (' M") of the Times says with reference to ths New Street, "We don't see the names of Judge T. W. Glover, M. Gloeer, N. A. Bull aud W. N. Scovill, on the petition. Tb?y are the grntletneo who will be apt to be the most HURT Of BKKEF1TTBD by this pro posod New Street. Let as consult their wishes first, sod if they say yes, well it is all right" Wh*rrupon, with all due respeet for the four gentlomea whose ?tat? aro io j unnecessarily brought forward in this natter, we have to observe that there are probably some 1496 other resideals of Oraogeburg who axe entitled to a moderate sharo of consideration lo pub lio affairs, some of whom might find it inconvenient to be always taking these gentlemen's permission to do anything. "M." further tays that the Nxwa was mistaken in stating that dipt. Islar was the first to suggest the opening of the last oew street. Our informant ws< an old resident of Oraogeburg whs, We supposed, knew all about it. Upon further ioquiry, however, w? bulicve we were mistaken. We cheerfully make i the acknowledgment, and accord to j Capt. Briggmanu the praise which is so justly hia due. The aame correspondent advises the Time? to "treat the Street matter with contempt," and to go in heavy ou Agri culture. This is good advice, and we hope it_wi 11 be followed. Our neighbor is well posted iu regard to the orops, the last of the 10,000 recipes for pickles, Ao., and manages to run a very enter taining and excellent Agricultural ool ? umn. But it isn't atroug in other mattera, evidently. Let it follow "M's" advice and retire from public life to the leaa brilliant but equally honorable and far more comfortable sphere of ?The Farm," "The Gardeu" snd "Household Economy." * Columbia, S.
