THE DEMOCRACY? The leaders of this party met over Mr. Pike's store on Thursday last. They sat with closed doors, conse quently we are unable to say what they did. Of one thing, however, we feel certain: No rash measures will be put in motion by them as long as a wise and thoughtful man is at the helm, such, for instance, as the gentle man who has the organization ol that party in hand for Orangeburg county. j POLITICAL MEETING?

Mr. Joseph 1*. Hurley has been so long connected with our fire depart ment, and has always exhibited so much courage where duty called him with his brethren of the red shirts, that it will scarcely be believed Unit in retiring from the office of Yicc Prcsident of that Company, on Tues day afternoon last, he was subjected to a first-class caning by Mayor Boh ver. The Mayor is not always timid, but on this occasion he was a little diffident. With the Young Americas, however, at his back, he did hii work to perfection; With remarks appro priate and well-timed, he presented Mr. Harley with a Palmetto cane, heavily headed with silver, as a token of the esteem entertained by the Com pany for their retiring officer. Mr. Hnrlcy accepted the caning with becoming grace. TEMPERA NpE'ihi UPPER? That was a pleasant affair which supplemented the meeting of the Suns of Temperance on Monday night last. After the regular business had been finished, the members of the ct\ler were invited to a well prepared table of refreshments, where they spent an hour or so in eating, drinking lemon ade and talking.

J. 11 LIVINGSTON, Treasurer. Orangcburrj County, S. C. oiirruAKY. JULIA BERTHA, infant daughter of ?1. C. anil Mrs. Francies Pike, of Orungc burg, (j. IT.,. S. C., was born November 25th 1873, and died February 28th 1870, age 2 years 3 months and 3 days. Two years, three months and three days a lingering sunbeam gaveoutits rich guidon light to cheer and bless die charmed circle of home, Little HERTHA was a bwccI little creature, and her picture was diguer rcotvped upon every heart of the entire family from her birth, and as the portrait grows gradually into Rfc-sizc under the pcncclHngs of the artist, until the last rose ate touches bloom upon the cheek, and every feature upon the cold convas appears to pulsate with real life, eo the image of the first little girl of the household became snore und more a reality, with parents and kindred until Monday", February, 28th. Five weary mouths of the time, however, the descending sun of a brief life was par tially eclipsed by the gathering shadows of a dcop sorrow, that loo truly foretokened a premature close of day. tier sun wont down in tbe morning, but will give light the longer in the spirit land above us. HERTHA was natural ly enough a great pet, for she was a little magnate of wonderful power, and she drew around her, by the force of her charms, every member of the family. Reing unusually fond of the mellowing and soften ing influcnccsof song, she would invariably join, ivith broken nulcs, in the prai.?e of her Saviour, and as if under a brief tuition here, preparatory to joining the shining ehoristors above, she sang continually, even while her tiny feet were being laved by the dividing waters of the Jordon of Death?her last words were uttered in song. May our gracious. Heavenly Father sustain the bereaved family under this severe stroke and may thev all meet the angel spirit in the "many Mansioncd dwelling" in the Christians promised home.
