lli the article on emigration on first
page there are several errors which the
reader will plese correct as ho reads?
"inclcvaut" ought to read irrelevant
and "under a Southern Sou, is galling

sun is galling and irritating.
We have every reason to bcliavo that
at the next meeting of our Town Conn -

of this kind of stock to take time by the

Our town ami vicinity has been visit

In fact, the prospect for fine crops on

months.
'fax payers arc making their returns
to County Auditor Van Tassel, as re
quested by his notice. It will save
time aud trouble for every one to come
up at ouco. The manner that some p;;o
pie have of staying off until the las;
moment wont do any longor. The
Auditor must make out his books, aud
sluggards had better rub their joints
with kerosene and make for Van Tas

at the school house on Saturday last,
and levied a tax of one and one half
mill for school purposes, and one half

clear and satisfactory. The Senator
promised that as long as he had any
thing to do with the school fund, he
would see thai a fair expeuditure should
he made.

We understand that Doctor Webster
will Boon commence the publication of u
paper at the Clafliu 1'uivorsity, for the
purpose of advertising the advantages
which Orangeburg, as a desirable and
healthy location, can boast of. Wo wish
the Dr success and advise our citizens
to-assist him. One hundred Northern
visitors here every winter will leave
with us not less than fifty or seventy
Pvo thousand dollars
We ask a careful perusal of the
article on Emigration from M. L. B.,
in this issue, lie knows exactly what
he is talking about. Your Hoard of
Directors may meet and pass resolution
after resolution, and oiler what you
may think to bi gr-'ttt induce incuts to
the poor Emigrant, to wend his way
thither, but until you tender him th i
social status that he enjoys at home, and
meets with in the groat West, your
efforts will fail to a large ext'.-tit.
When we can see ourselves as others
see us, 'twill Irom many u blunder free

The Examination at Mr. Melli
chump's School, came off on Friday the
25th instant. The Parents of the
Children aud a low visitors were pre
sent on the occasion. The Examina
tion showed clearly that the motto
adopted by Teacher and Children was :
?'No step back-ward." It was found
here to be a harder in ittor to discrimi
nate than at the Exercises th.; evening
previous. We have heard but on 3 opin ?
ion in speaking of Mr. Mcllichnmp's
SchooL?and that it is so eon 1 to
none in the State. At its resumption
(tir>t Monday in September next), we
venture the assertion that it will bo/A:

Those persons wno are not in the
habit of stargazing are possibly not
aware of the fact that a new comet, has
put in an appearance. It 5b situated in
tho northern heavens, just beneath the
polar star, and near the Great Dipper or
seven stars, and is said by tho knowing
ones to be just visible to the naked eye.
With the assistance of a spy glass, it
can. be seen as a nebulous mass with a
bright point a little to ope side. It is
now visible nearly all night, but will
soon bo so only in the curly hours of tho
evening. Astronomers say it will bo
brighter in August, but that its tail
v. ill be clearly \i.ible in a short time.
LAWYERS NOT TAXABLE?
Tho Circuit Court of Russell County,
Alabama, decided hist week [that tho
Slate law requiring a license from altor
ncy? is unconstitutioual on the ground
that the profession being a franchise, as
decided by the United States Supreme
Court, in tho Garland test-oath case j
which is granted through the State
Judiciary, its exercise cannot be sub
jected to Legislative or municipal re- !
strict ion, which might become prohibi
tory.
Mow many lawyers in this place have
paid such lax? The Town Council had
better call an extra meeting and recon
sider their action in the matter. How
about it Pink V We only say Rink
because the N r.ws of late affected a j
tremendous Qimiliu ity with our good
and popular Mayor. Only this au 1
nothing more, may it please your Honor.
Wc notice that Senator T. C. Andrews
has taken charge of the Orangoburg
Xi:\vs, and is to be assisted by Mr. J.
Felder Meyers. It is a lively and read
able paper, and we trust that they will
never let its shadow grow less. ? L xuiy

To day tho contest between tho "Caro
linos" of tho city of Charleston, and the
"Oranges" of this town comes off.
There is a deep interest felt in tho result.
Our boys are not easily daunted but
this battling with old veterans, by raw
"mclish," is enough to make thorn stand
j steady by 1 .reis^nobly won. Tho "Caro
iinas," hence, will find the capture of
their foe no easy conquest. There is
a bet determination, wo can soo it in
the face of every ono of our base

Palmetto State" back to tboir sea girt
