Polite and suave, and combining bu^ae,? . traits ot a rare quality, he .is just the man for tho place. We hope the public will al ways be blest with such officers.

And it should, inasmuch as it has not yet been smirched'vvith the affairs of "My dear JosepliuB." Our gentlemanly depot agent, Mr. T. O. Dawson, informs us that he is in receipt of positive instructions not to deliver any goods*In future until tho charges for 'freight are paid. Mr. Dawson is conspicuous for his desire to accommodate, but Jae his orders arc imperative, he-, -will have no option in future. i Our nomination of DoTrovillo for Solicitor in case that Butti is ousted, i has attracted the attention of several of our oxchanges. They agree wit h us that Charleston is not entitled t o everything. Orangeburg can have her own Solicitor or dofeat Charles ton's choice. The Annual Commencement Ex ercises of the WilliamBton Female College, will come off .Wednesday and Thursday' of next week. The speeches on this occasion will he delivered by the Rev. A. Coke Smith, Hon. S. Dibble, and Rev. W. W. Duncan. Tuesday text will be all aglow in our Burg. Mr. Mellichamp's School Exhibi tion will take place at the Masonic Hall on June 28th for the benefit of tho Young Men's Christian Association. We understand that the ladies will serve refreshments on tho occasion and that ??Our Band" will dispense the music, which in all gives promise of an enjoyable evening for the poo pie of Orangebuig in theso dull times. A NEW LA W FIRM? We refer with special pleasure to the law card of DeTrovillo & Hey ward. Mr. DcTreville is widely known for his urbanity, splendid manners as a gentleman, and his complete familiarity with the law; while Mr. Hey ward is distinguished for untiring energy as a student, and quicknefcs of comprehension. He is a young lawyer of muoh ability. We are sure that the new firm has our ? hearty wishes for its success. The last hours of the Senate were spent in confirming the appointments made by Gov. Hampton. The follow ing names were confirmed for this county: County Treasurer, Robert Copes; County Auditor, James Van Tassel; Jury ? Commissioner, J. W. Moseloy; Trial Justices, F. M. Wae iiamaker, W. A. O'Cain, Wm. II lieedish, J. Felder Meyers, John B. Livingston, Julius Edwards, Har hion M. Rush, S. M. Kern merlin, Jumcs Browno, R. V. Dannolly, T. K. Sasportas, J. O. A. Conuor, John Williamson, E. M. Carroll. These appointmouts give general satisfaction. ????"?'^ammmm? Who wouldn't go to the only pic nic of the season. Mr. J. S. Trumbull, Supeiviscr of the South Carolina Itailroad, has put our people under everlasting obliga tions to him for favor*. He kindly tendered, on Tuesday last, the use of McKewn's train to our excellent band for a trip up to Lewisville. O f course the band invited their friends, and a jolly time was had to Lewis ville and back. Arrived at the hos pitable town of Lewisville, the band and friends were splendidly treated. The Sheriff and Clerk of Court were along, and made things lively. Mr. Robert McKewn, the conductor, will long be remembered for his kindness. Tho South Carolina Railroad shoul d feel proud of such servant*. -??? ? ?o AGITATE? GO TO WORK?DO SOMETHING? A dead calm, is to be deplored either in nature or morals: in busi ncss, amusement, or religion. To rise from a state of perfect quiet, en uulj or torpidity, is the highest duty, as Well as the supremo privilege of every man, church, or society. What matter, then, that men should rest on their arms, or sink down to the low level of stupid inani ty, we have thus stated. Rather, act the better part of wisdom, good will, self-interest?and even expe diency?by coming up to the work of reform which lies before us. To do this we must agitate; raise tho total abstinence ftsue anew: talk about it; in the streets, in the stores, in the shops, in the churches,; in our homes; iudecd everywhere. Hold a' ' Up tho dark record of cv.il, to tho public gaze. Expose the wiles and dangers of dram-drinking. Tear away the yoil that hides its deformi ties. Lift tho temperance banner, and keep it flying. Extol tho virtues of an honest, resolute pledge. And keop talking reform, in soason and out of season. Results will appear; and a glorious roward will crown your efforts for human good, Merchants give your faithful em ployees one holiday during the sea son?Tuesday. - i *wm ? - de A th OF AN estimable la d y. On June 10th, 1877, one of the mo.it widely beloved ladies of this county bade adieu to tho trials nud tribulations of this earthly sphere We have reference to the death of Mrs. Margaret Hydrick, daughter of Jacob Hildebrand, and wife of our worthy fellow citizen, Major J. H. Hydrick. Mrs. Hydrick was born in they tar 1819, and her whole life was distinguished for its modest virtues and Christian principles. With a mind unusually active, she frequently com mitted her thoughts and meditations to paper to the delight and instruc tion of her friends. For nearly two years previous to her, death she suffered untold pain and misery from an ailment of the thigh bone; but through it all she evinced that forti tude and patience which can alone characterize the conduct of tho true Christian. And now that her life ha* gone out; now that she has joined that throng of Heavenly spirits of .which she so loved to talk, it is meet and proper that we should Bay "peace be to her ashes." To her bereaved husband and his j interesting family,?to all thos* whi , mourn her loss iu lowly anguish of spirit, wo extend our heartfelt sym pathies. Emulate her example, and you will meet her again where the wicked ceaso from troubling and the j weary are at rest. '?UnveilI thy bosom faithful tomb, Take thin new treasure to thy tru*t, \ And give the'sacred reiicYoom -. To slumber in the silent dust.". . XjNION sun da r SCHOOL PIC-NIC? The Committee of arrangements is certainly indefatigable. It is com posed of gentlemen and ladies whose motto is, "never fail." It is a real nice Committee. Their motto is, nil desperandttm; dum ?piro, spero I Tues day next, 19th in at., that pic-nie will be held, unless the fates are against. Quite a number of private pic-nics were given last Tuesday, but the one next week is to be thepic-nic of the season, ono that will not soon be for gotten. The Committee on amusements were full of fun on the 12th inst., and serious doubts are entertained whether they can hold in till the 19th, as they are now nearly bursting. Every as sistance will bo rendered them, how ever, and tho little one) may take our word for it, that the feast of fun to be enjoyed on that day will last them till pic-nic season comes again. The following programme for the day comes from those in authority : Tho train will leave the depot a t 8J o'clock precisely, free passage being furnished both ways. A Com mittee will be at the depot at 8 o'clock to receive baskets. All, who can, are expected to carry baskets, in which, beside the eatables, they are reques ted to carry table-cloths, knives, forks, opoonn and tumblers or cups. All articles should be marked with owners names, and a tag be attached to each basket. The Committee have madcatrrangu ments to make the trip on tho cars both safe and comfortable. P. 8.?Since writing the above we learn that h will not be certain that the excursion train can be procured on Tuesday. Information ou this point will be given out in our Churches to-morrow. Romantic death?A youug ludy drowned iu tear*. [communicated.] An Esaoy on Lawyers. To write au essay on lawyers is a hard thing to do, because lawyers are hard subjects to deal with. But lawyers are necessary evils, and therefore should bo written of whonover npportunity offers. I have an idea of becoming a lawyer myself some of these days Not ouo liko Evarts, or Beach or Fullerton, but a genuine veritable couutry lawyer, such as may bo found in any village or hamlet of the United States. Cou siu John says I am almost a lawyer now, but then I do not think he ex actly know.-, and I am afraid to say I am, until I can do so without the fear of successful contradiction. To be a success as a country law yer, is my idea of the acme of self importance, self-esteem and real and personal dignity. Tho country law yer, if he is really any lawyer at all, is very much sought after. People of all ages, classes,. color, and previous condition, seek after him. He dis tributes knowledge by ceptrifnga 1 force. Ho is a big sun flower shedding effulgent rays upon everything about him?that is, if sun flowers, Bhed rays at all. Do you know, Mr. Editor, whether they do or not ? Cousin Job u says, they shed their leaves, but then I do not know whether he exactly knows or not As I said, the country lawyer is as docile as, . "A little Israb', whose fleece wna white as a now And everywhere that Mary went the lamb wna sure to go." If I did not say it, I meant it, so its all the same anyhow. The country, lawyer too, is a facto* turn. He can do anything. As a farmer, David Pickson is in his rudi ments in comparison. He plants loss and makes more to the acre than an y other mnn. The meadows groan und er his knowledge, aud the' hill sidos laugh at his . touch- The lilly of the fields holds up its tender petals at his coming, and the rose bud blushes into full bloom maturity in high born respect. First the seed, then at his bidding, "the blade, next the ear, then the full corn ia tho ear." He can make a half dojr,cn blades of grass grow where* ..c.ftj,v peas were never known to spro.ut. He'.discards cotton, and raises ; tlie? .best-clover. Refuses the superanuated: Jtyporphated ferti lizers aud ? makes a double electrified compound of his own. He makes more on one strutting old hen and eleven chickens in one season, than the aver age farmer makes in an average life time. He is also good at writi ng aud speaking. The average country lawyer prac tices law, farms, aud eats all he can get his hands on. He can speak on any subject at any time. Call on him when you will, aud he is ready, willing, and waiting to be heard. He is an ubiquitious, spontaneous out crop of all kinds of occasions. He is perfectly at home at a fourth of July celebration, upon nil of which occa sions he airs his spread eagle oratory. Such grand and momentous occasions would suffer untold loss without him. ""The principles of 76 would have long since perished, had it not been for the persistent and indefatigable efforts of the country lawyer. He it is, who has kept them burning in the bosoms of I tho American people for lo! these J hundred years?who has caused them I to echo from the lakes to the gulf, I from the Atlantic the the Pacific. Take from these occasions our coun try fawyers, and you tnke away all I their interests, and eventually from the American people liberty itself. Payban. Destroyed by worms.

Take the Hepatine for all diseases of tho liver. ADVICE GRATIS? Tho Hon. Alextmler IT. Stevens snys :?"The Globe Flower Cough Syrup has proven a most valuable remedy to roe." Guv. James M. Smith, of Georgia, says :?"I shall always use it with perfect confidence, and recommend it to the public as a remedy which will afford that satisfaction experienced by me and mine. It excels every thing for coughs, colds and obstinate lung affections." Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., says: "He finds the Globe Flower Cough Syrup a most excollent remedy."
