We are in receipt of a long letter from this gentleman which we decline to publish, because it is written on both sides ol'the paper. Communications will only bo inserted in these columns w hen written in accordance with the rides of printing offices. If Mr. Weeks will follow I lies e rules, and prune his letter, wo shall insert it with pleasure. Meantime it is just to say, I hat he has pi-el ly el early proved that the charges made ?gai.'st him a short time back, in a si ri< s of rssolu tions published in the Niiwa anj> Timks, arc withnut foundation it: fact, and that the light put up against him had its origin in spile ami selfishness. At a recent meeting held by the Independent Citizens' Fire Engine Company of the town of Orangeburg, D. Augustus Straker, E-.q., was unani mously elected Socitor of that body. The company comprise many o! Jour wealthiest and most respectable col ored citizens. ? Mi*. E. R. Smoak writes us that he was not a candidate for Mayor of Branchvillc, and urged his friends not to Vote for him, as his business was of such a nature as to consume all of his time. All we can say is, that our information came from one whom we regarded as reliable, and without investigating the matter, pub lished it as it came to us. We hope Mr. Smoak will accept this expla nation as sufficient and come lip and take a glass of lager with George. helle it oil)? It turns out now that IV lie Bpyd who appcarad here sometime ago is iin impostor. We said seat the time. The Mtisons at Martinshurg, West Virginia,of whom the real Belle Bpyd's father is one have taken the matter in hand,and have put a silence to the Belle Boyd of Orangcburg, she who was ga'lallied around here. We will print from the Keics uml Courier ail account of ihc real heroine next week. What a pity it is that some men are so easily fooled ? - .Ulllll- . - . -LL? I I? ? - tax penalty? Two months exactly from the day the tax books were opened in each County, the penalty against delin quents will bo enforced. An orderte this i Heel, directed to the County An -itors of the ?Stute, has been issued from the Comptroller-General's office. The books in this County were open ed on the lOih day of last month; so the tax payers who have not yet paid up, will see that they have only to the 1 Olli nl next month to pay in. After that time the penalty will attach as sure as fate. valextise's da y? Monday last was St. Valentino's Day, and gave to both chronic and epizootic lovers an opportunity to say an anonymous word of endcar J meat and affection to their sweet hearts. There are a good many | "spbonys" around the country, lo judge from the number of valentines that exchanged bauds. Our opinion of the nativity of the old Saint is this: If the quantity of valentines received by ?Ir. Goo. Bolivcron .Monday hut, can fitnish tiny clue as to who and what he was, we should unhesitating ly put him down as a German. to t1if. y'uulic? One. excellent way to make busi ness i.-; to advertise. It is more neces sary to advertise now than it was fifty or a hundred years ago. People are inoi c busy now than they were then. They have less time and leisure to look about for what they waiit. They xlook to the newspapers to learn where their wants can be supplied, and they accept it as a settled rule that the man who advertises his com modities which he has to dispose of, instead of wailing for the people to find it 6u| themselves, is the best man to deal with, and most likely to give satisfaction. To prove toe truth and force of this, one has only to find the most prosperous houses in Orangcburg by looking over our advertising col umns. AOniC'ULTUltAL SOCIETY? The annual meeting ol the stock holders o! the Orangcburg Agrictiltu ral hud Mechanical Association was held on Saturday last. The following gentlemen were elected directors to serve the ensuing year, Dr. W. F. 1 hi it on, Missrs. II. Biggs, W. W. Culler, J. H Hydrick, J, F. I/.lar, .John L. Moorcr and Dr. W. S. Bar ton. On adjournment of thc'stockholders the board of directors met and elected Dr. W. F. Barton President, and Kirk Robinson, Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. It was decided by the board to hold a Floral Fair some time during the month of May, si full notice of which will be published in these columns in due time. Ladies, look to your hot house plants and garden?. STOP IT? Our eily fathers should stop ped dlers from infesting this place of sale days, who by chicanery and oiliue.-s of tongue palm off on tue unsuspecting country peoplerofusoarticles of cloth ing, &e., at prices enormously beyond their value. And they succeed right well at it, loo. Hundreds of dollars are taken away from here each sale day by these itinerants, for which they give paper handkerchiefs, socks, &e., in return. The license they pay for tho liberty of thus being allowed to swindle the people, would not pay for kerosene enough to fill one-fourth of our never lighted street lamps. .1XO Til IUI : The serenity of Sunday last was disturbed about 1 o'clock p. in. by an alarm of fire. At first it was not known in what direction that spiteful enemy to Orangeburg had commenced its work of disti nction. Our energetic lire do parliucnt, however, shortly discovered that the residence of Dr. J.T. 13utier was the dwelling the mad (iciid was cngnged upon, anil thither they went in a double-quick. Bui tho Cue had progressed too far when the Engines reached there to bo of any material service. The firemen and citizens of fered every aid they could under the circumstances. We learn that the loss sustained is heavy to Dr. Butler's family, leaving them for the present without a home of their own. We arc requested to return to the Fire men, white and colored, and t'? the citizens generally who rendered as sistancc, the heart felt thanks of Dr Butler and his family.
