LOCAL. J. FELDER MEYERS, Assistant Editor. SATURDAY, .SEPT. 19, 1874. We have been favored with rain (his week Clad a little bit too much. " Mr. Meronci's now store has been com pleted, and will be filled with geods pretty noon. Mr. E. B. Scabrook passed hero on the train on Monday last. He was looking well. Mr. C. D. Kortjohn has a now supply of groceries, liquors, fcc. Give him a a call, for ho sells cheap. Mr. A. C. Williams is out for tlio Legida - iure. He leads the Club House delegation .and is a good man. Mr. J. P. Mays is a candidate for the office of Cor.nly Commissioner. Ho is intel ligent ami bones.; thoroughly fam'diar with public life, and would make n good officer. Mr. Van Tassel was in ntlcndanoe upon "tho State Convention the whole of last we sk, working with others for the nptain?i.'on of Chnmbcrla'u. The foot-way over the lakes over tho river are in n dangerous condition. Their plight will not permit of a lino being "drapped." "Fix em up" is what the people want. Tho Hon. S. L. Duncan has been elected ?Goutfly'Chairman of the Republican pariy of 'ibis County. We arc not advise I as lo the 'time he proposes to call the Convention. The board of Equalization met here on Monday morning last an 1 commenced to equalize tho real property of jthis Cuunt y.' We will give a full account of their mec.ing in our next issue. more improves!ents? ?lr. Augustus Fischer's store presents a heau'.'.ful front now, and wo bospcak for him a lively trade this fall and wittier. II o will soon lay iu a heavy a.ook. We arc requested lo state that the Rev. JohnG. Wil'iams, of Rarnwel', will bo pro i-ent to nss:.st in a protracted meeting in the Raptiet Church in this place, to commence, At'oudny evening Sept. 28th, 1874. , Capt. Br'cgm.inn is determined not to be . hebind in gc.iiug now stocks. His s/.ore ?presents a busy appearance, and he pro IjKreea to sell goo Is low down. Ho has an army of clerics, and you bet that they have 7nndc up their miuds to sell goods cheap. The improvements going on behind the Lutheran Church, add considerably to the ^beauty of-that locality. Why don't Cap tain Br'.ggmauti ohristaia th.it street dow t thcro wi.hanamo? K we cau't have any jncV tiiee s le< us, for mircy'a sake, name the ihrco or four that wo have. "Mr. Crook s popularity as a merchant i t increasing da ly. Hia groceries And liquors arc "of the Very beat and will give satisfac tion to all who desiro such nr:'.oles. Mr. Edward Tobin, thcskMlful painter of s'gn-i, 'in with him and ready at all times to givo ?Mr. Crook's customers easy bargains. A street rail-way is being talked of here. Why net? A one horse car, running from Mcr'onoy's corner to the depot, would pay. Freight cou'd be delivered to merchants on this road dirt cheap, and savo them tho ex pense of keeping horses and wagons. Who 'will take tho lead ? We state with pleasure that tho local which appeared in thi:s paper on Saturday last, Vn illation to a young man and a ? bar ber, had no reference io any ono in t'uis fjounty. Thoro la no "feller" hero that lOoka like him either; and that's what's iho muLer with Hannah. voss k izlar? Are up with the times, and havo filled every available corner in their magnificent (grocery, with all sorts of good things for the people. Their storb is In a central por tion of Orangehurg, and is ?essontially a rieat and woll kept establishment. They will sell goods cheap und guaranteo complete satisfaction. ? Wallace cannon? ? We don't cart if his heart has boon pier Cod by Cupid's arrows, or Whot her ho baa fc\ceplc3B n:ghtB or walks in dreamland by tho side of bis idol, for neither of theso things can alter tho fact that he keeps a flrst-rate grocery store, always crammed with gomothing good when cooked, for tho inner man. And, if you are fond of a night cap or an eye-opener, Wallac? Cannon's is the place- to obtain it. Ho has two as aislants who nro as polite as danoing mas ters, and tako pleasure in giving you t ho value of your money. Mr. Lucas Iias submitted a plan for the new Court House to tho County Commis sioners. As it is a matter in which the tax payers aro interested, we Buggcst that it be submitted to the tax "union with a request that they make any suggestions they may have. As the Court House will stand per haps for a century, it should bo built in a stylo to suit tho people. Those merchants who think to get ahead of that thoroughgoing merchant, M'i% Thomas Cartmill, aro mistaken. Ho is now in Now Yo>k selecting a oompleto and v.i l 'cd s ock of dry goods, g 'ooeriec, &o. It will boo treat to his many custouie:'3 to see tho display of goods he will m ike at hi h store in a few days. Keep this view in mind. TUE HON. W. H. REEDISII? Was in town on Wednesday last canvass ing among his numerous friends for the Legislature. He lias developed considcra hie blrength all over Iho County, and as Illings now look, has the inside track fur the House. Wo have no particular preference in this matter, but the majority of tho peo ple seem to say that ltccdish is the man. Mr. A. F. Ilrow ti:ng answers the "ques tions" addressed to h'm in Thursday's Timei. Wc have conversed with parties who were present nt seven 1 of bis speeches, nnd they were always temporals and cone-lint iry in lone. Mr. Drowning is loo intelligent lo give mty such ndvice to the colored people, and we are glud that he has given the ,4cJr cont rumor'' a flat denial. For ourselves, we never believed it from the beginning. A FINE G UN? Mr. C. S. Hull received by express n few days sincen fine breech-loadirrg double-bar relled shot gun, which fo/ beauty of finish nnd s-.yle we never saw surpassed. It is " of ilie make of Bown & Son, No. l?fi, Wood Street, Pennsylvania, J manufacturers of car: i.lgcs, pistol?, rifles and gutiB of nil kinds. They linv* a reputation for making the l-cst gun in America. Mr. Hull i.i their iiimt here. PA It A D OX fCA L? The Democrats have a peculiar liking for Judge Green of Sunder. Iu his speech, to the laic Couvcn.ion, ke mcclnred that he was ic favor ef Ihe civil rights biP, and weeld voie Vor Iis passage, if he had a vote in Congress. Tho News and Courier have such a kind!}' taking towards this civil rights Judge, that one caunnt bat believe it has also a t ender regard for the bill iiself. On which side of the fence is the xVcir? and Colli irr now? Will the Sim inform us ? Wc want nn answer. NEW YORK IN ORANGEli URG? Not Iho cily, but a big pile of its many nice th'iigs. Mr. John Dauiicr h is reiurn cd to Co. nelson's withthem. Wagons have been running for a week now hauling them down from the depot, and itie Lord only knows when I hey will stop, for you may bo t that Mr. Co*, nelson hai too cloie on eye to tho wants of his cus'.ome.s to have left nny iliingia New York that ihey ^.wanted. Mr. Danuer brought something of evcryih;ug he Haw thore (except organ grinders,) and lliOSO who aro 'oo poo- to visit that p'uee, can ree a large por. ion of i'3 good thl-vgs, by stepping into Co: nelson's, and rcsigntug theaise'ves to his clerks, a'l of whom aro clever gentlemen. THE A D VER TfSER AND THE KOI/NS. Wo hnvo seen the first copy of the above paper nnd gladly place it upon our ex change lisL. Tho Advt. 'itr is a neatly gotten up illu8trnlcd journal, and but for its decidedly paitisan tone, might effect a great deal of good in this Couniy. It is Kithnish in sentiment, and bitlo'ly opposed to h'jh profits* the motto ofthe enterpris ing proprietors of Oiangeburg's dry goods Emporium. It is ''edited by its editors" and proposes to ndvocafo the interests of Kohn & Dro. It is replete with jokes, but docs not forget lo loll tho poiplo whoro to buy cheap dry goods. In a word, it dearly establishes Ihe fact (hat Kohn & Uro. havo outstripped a" Ihoir compolMors iu (heraco to esiab,:Bh a groat store, and now that Ihey havo the lead, nvc determined lo hold It. May their shadows never grow less. A VISIT TO HR. RIG GS' SHOPS? A. few days ago wo paid a visit to the carriage csiabalishment of th's gentleman, and Iho bustlo nnd noiso which made the p'neo Pvely, ovMenced tho fact that worn was &oing on around us. Mr. Itiggs' wood shop is a J-i"go two siory building, in which he has a number of Amt class workmen, hard nt it every day, except Sunday. Mr. P.e.till B?pci'.'iilumls this doportmctit nnd ects to it that everything that comes from 1. s hands is put up substantially. If a buggy or ca? riago, it goes from him to tho black smith shop, where it is ironed by experienced workmen, in that line, and is returned to tho wood shop and carried up siairs, where it is trimmed and painted. There we found our old friend, Mr. J. A. Williams, with his "brush and paint, always ready to put on the finishing'touches; and you may hot that wdien ho gets through with his part of the job, that an unsightly looking buggy stands forth ??a thing of benuty." Jim does such pretty work sometimes that he cannot help but soliloquizing to hims If, "How did 1 learn to do that so well ?" The fact ?f it ie, he ] can paint a buggy in a slyle to suit the most fastidious taste. From hero wo wont (o the shop where Mr. KiggB stores bis ready mado buggies and ca iages, and took a look at several neat jobs. A goo 1 quality about his work lies in the sound quality of the malrials used, in the budding of buggies, i.e. He Uses nothing for wheel* but the best white hickory, and other woods equally us g?od. Next we went to the big establishment, where a steam engine drives co.ion gins, plaining and tut ning machines, grist and Hour mills from morning till night, without any signs of fatigue. Here each man seems to understand bis business pcifcctly. Some arc ginning cotton, whi'e o he. s are feeding the plaining machine, which tongues and grooves from six to seven thousand fecet of lumber n day; Mr. Riggs showed us plains of his own manufacture, ior the making of moulding of any size or shape. A peculiarity about Mr. Rigg1* cotton gin is that it improves the quality of cot.on in passing through the saws and brushes, which makes it sell for one and a half or two ncnts more on the pound The f.rct of r hi, the work carried on by Mr. Ri;-.gs is hum en SC, and a visit lo his estab lishment is really a pleasure. Everything goes on there like clock work, nndthc work if tied oiu its oV a superior quality. COMMERCIAL. MARKET REPORTS. Orricr. or thk OnANoaeuan News, September, 18th, 1874.
