Orangeburg County is great in many respects, but in none moreso than in the nobility of character and independence of scutimcut displayed by her honest and energetic farmers. They arc intelligent, industrious, ail I careful of the yood name of the great Democratic party to which they bo long. Upon them, depends the suc cess or non-success of almost every undertaking or calling. By tho sweat of their brow tho merchant, the office-holder, the lawyer and the politician must live. YYithout the farmers these characters would starve. Upon the great drama of life they would be liko the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. And yet, strange to say, these men of our County, strong and indepen dent farmers, are frequently lost sight of, forgotten, and ignored by men who live by their labor, in tho every day transactions of life. " Why trou ? ble ourselves about the farmers?" argue some men. "They are accus tomed to country life and do not ex pect much notice from great men. . And when we want their friendship on special*, occasions, it 13 easy enough for us to condescend a little, shake their bauds, ask them how the old women and children are, crack a few homely jokes and make them then and there declare us real clevor fellows.". But here's where the office holders, lawyers, merchants, etc., are mista ken. "We concur in tho opinion that our farmers ar6 used to country life, but that they are asses we deny. Wany a man believes that he can bring countrymen to his feet when ever he feels like it, and complacent ly consoles himself with the reflection that he is loo sharp to expose his deceit to the gn/.o of those at whom he laughs in his sleeve. But our ob scrvation has taught us to believe that in many instances of this nature the positions of the parties are just vice versa. The bi^ot is the dupe, the peacock the veritable ass, and the countryman the calm studier and despiser of the man who assumes to be his superior. Of course all farmers are nofsmart men, but they, as a gen eral thing, reflect more credit upon themselves and their trade than do men of some other professions. They arc unschooled in the "ways that arc dark and the tricks that are" not "vain." There is no guilo in them. Thcir's it is to do and to hope for an honest nnd honorable living. Thcir's to till the soil aud coax from ils willing bosom the Jjread of life. But whilo this is the case; whilo they have not the whole year round to watch the wiles aud the arts of politicians, they are nevertheless shrewd, observant, aud watchful of the course of public men and mca3 urcs. During this very summer wc vcntuieto say that many a strong resolution baa been formed behind the plow handles that will be carried out ere "twelve months from to day Farmersaro essentially tho men to watch over the lifo of this State* Certainly they will be assisted by lawyers, merchants, doctors and me ?? but these must be of a clans in full sympathy with tho tillers of the soil. This is nothing if it is no' an agricultural country, and its sal vation [depends upon the working masses?tho farmers whoso labor turns tho wheels of commerce and makes glad tho nation's heart w ith their annual tributes to her stores of wealth aud greatness. Then, upon tho farmers must fall the curse of our country's downfall if ever that day should burst upon us. Free andj disenthralled now, it is time for our friends in tho country to wake up. "Why wait until the ene my is upon you before you prepare for action? Do you net see entan gling alliauccs? Are you blind? "What sort of a convention do you mean to have in 1878 ? Have you ever given the sub'ect- ft thought? Have you selected men for the next Legislature? Don'tyou think it time? True, it is earlyy to discuss this sub ject, but under the head of "Farmers" it seems appropriate to bring it up, be cause wc think that our agricultural interests should be strongly represent ed iu the next Legislature. We would be glad to hear from any of our friends upon the subject. It is important that tho farmers in the county should understand the sentiments of each other. That end can be accomplished by writing to the News and Times. After a slate shall have been made up against you, you might as well attempt to lift yourselves over a stone wall by the straps of your boots as to beat it. So hearken unto our warning. Death of City Solicitor Seabrook. Mr, E. Baynard Seabrook, the corporation counsel, who has been in ill health for some time, died last evening. ,Tbc deceased was the eldest son ol the Rev. J. B. Seabrook. En dowed with fine natural gifts, he wns educated at Pincctou, N. J., and at tained a high grade of literary cub ture. At various times he contribu ted essnys on various subjects to the periodical press, and some id* these have attracted more than ordinary attention. As writer an 1 public speaker ho was fluent and forcible, and his early death cuts short what might have been a career id'mark. His age was 34. The funcinl will take place from 99 Broad street, at "> o'clock this afternoon.?Actos tout Courier 14/7l inst. The deceased will be remembered by many in our County as an elleo tivc and able speaker. For a long time he was Solicitor of this circuit, in which position ho distinguished himself by his eloquence and high legal attainments. Like all humanity, however, he had his faults, but at heart he was a noble, frank, and generous friend. Onco his career stretched out brightly before him, and fame seemed for a time to have regarded him with especial favor; but some evil genius, jealous per chance of his bright future, assumed control of his life-boat, changed its course, nnd left him upon the bleak sea of disappointment w ithout rud der or compass. Mr. Seabrook was one of the most charming conversationalist we ever met. His mind wns quick nnd active, but of au impatient aud nervous turn. Nothing so provoked him as the inabi lity of a judge or jury to comprehend points ! which to him were as clear as day light. In speaking, he always went directly to the heart of hissubjoct, and preset)ted it with that clear, un assuming simplieit) of manner which never fails to attract the sympathy o f audience or jury. Perhaps a dis appointed ambition had a great deal to do with his early death. With his mind crowded with the oxubcranco of rich prospects ahead, and to have had them suddenly blighted, was enough, with one of his warm aud anxious temperament, to produce that "sleepless sorrow of tho soul" which ceases to ache only in the grave. "The tree will wither long before it fall; Tho hull drives on, though mast and Bail bo torn, The roof-trer. sinlcB, but moulders on tho hall In tnn.iny hoariness; thr mined wall Stands When its wind-worn battlements arc gone; rjjjfc .$ ? Tlie btir? Rurvivo the cantWo they enthrall, Tho <'ay drags th^Ug'lfl'ftDugu. nlormB keep out the Bun ? And tints the heart wlUbrealc, yet broken ly livo on." * Who knows ttint Mr. Seabrook's later life is not herg^discribed ? But tho tree has fallen. The broken heart is cold in death, and E. Baynard Sea brook is no mure! Rcquicscat in pace. The Williamsburg Democrats. The Democracy of Willianisburg County .not being satisfied with tho County Chairman oud tho Executirc Committee runniug everything, have, by a constant hammering at tlieru, at last forced the Chairman to issue, iu the Kingstree S^tar, the following call for a Couvcutlon : Office of County Chairman and Executive Committee, Kin?stiuce, S.

[communicate'!)] Middle Township, August, 15th, 1877. /Cditor Oranyebury News and Times : I was glad to see in your last issue a part of the game law eopieil, or perhaps all, as I was just thinking of asking you to bring it before the public. Now, Mr. Editor, is what you have published tho real law ? the latest law ? the law for tho whole State, or for a few who are law-abiding citizens ? Tho reason I ask these questions ' is this: I ni)self take a great delight in deer hunting, or, in other words, have a great hankering alter what is known by deer hunters, as the "Buck Ague," that is, to have an old Buck to run over you and frighten you so badly that you could not shoot* I have never been in this predicament but have a great desire to realize the sensation, It always happened that my gun would go off before tho argue would come ou, and'frighten it oil', i f not the buck. But about the law. Some go hunting in July aud wlion you ask them if thoy are not afraid j of violating tho law, thoy tell you the law says any one can kill rieor at any time provided ho does not sell any part ot the same. Jn loot, one of Chamberlain's Trial Justices decided this to be tho law last year in a case brought up before him, but afterwards I learned that the one prosecuted paid the Honorable Justico ten dol lars to decide it in this way. But bo this as it may, here are men claim ing to bo iaw abiding citizens hunt ing in defiance of the law, as I under stand it.M Again if you ask thorn or tell them.about violating tho law they will tell you tho law says any ouo can hunt when ho pleases, provi ded he does not go seven miles lrom his home, and such nonsense. Al most every man has his own law a bout hunting. One man's law says you can kill bucks in summer; anoth er one says you can kill docs in the winter and so on. Now, Mr. Editor, this is a whole sale violation of the gamo law, be sides a wholcsalo slaughtering of deer. I was informed a few days ago of a man not very far from me who kill ed and old doo that was so puor that she Was so poor, that she was not fit for food nnd perhaps the same doe left a fawn which will per haps die of starvation. Thus you see perhaps two deer were killed or des troyed for one skin, when if the law had been observed, by the 1st of September, both perhaps would have been good venison. From all re ports if tho fines were all collected for deet killed in Cow Castle and Providence Townships, they would nmount to not less than two or three, thousand dollars. And each hunter should bo made to pay his fine of twenty dollars* Why should the law be disregarded under Hampton as Governor ? Should we uot have re form. Who's duty is it to bring such violators of the law to justice, when the Trial Justices here are aware of the facts. The law was made by the Legis'a ture of South Carolina, and should be observed by every good citizen, until the same has been recinded by the proper authority which I hope will not be done until deer become so plentiful through the county that it will' be necessary so to do. ? Perhaps these parties who have been hunting so early cau tell us where we can find a law which has been passed since the ope you pub lished; if so they will confer a great lavor, on a law abiding citizeu and lover of Spout.
