Removal.?Lowmau & Dukes l*ave
temoved from Kortjohn's old stand to
*he store lately occupied by Mr. J. C.
Pike, where they will be pleased to see
their fhiends and customers.
Broom Drill.?Our readers will be
pleased to learn that the Broom Drill is
to be repeated on the 24th instaut. The
.young ladies composing the two compa
nies are now drilling for the contest,
which promises to be as spirited as the
one before. We will give particulars in
our-next issue.
Sensible.?The Greenville News
says? "We propose the organization of a
' brotherhood among the newspaper men
of the South to strike against the adver
tising agencies. That would be a real
movement of labor against capital?of
hard work against adamantine cheek."
?|c|'Such~ a movement would be ot in
estimable benefit to the fraternity, and
we heartily second the proposition.
A Cutting Scrape.?Two colored
viragoes, named Jane Butler and Laura
McCord, got into a hot quarrel in the
Bell Swamp community last week about
some matter, in the course of wnich
Jane cot Laura rather severely. The
parties wore brought before Trial Justice
Moss, and the ease is now m progress.
Jane Butler is said to be a notorious
character,. having been in numerous
scrapes of the kind.
A. Serious Accident.?Mr. J. Alken
Keller, a son of Mrs. E/A. Keller, while
cut banting on last Saturday, was acci
dently shot by a negro who was along
witJajbha.' The whole load entered both
tiighs and inflicted a very painful wound.
We are glad to hear, however, th it he
is domg very well under the circum
stances. Mr. Keller is a student of j
Newberry College, and a youth of con
sidcrable promise.
lii^s-'The. News and Courier.?The
News and Courier greeted its readers on
Monday. Charleston's Centennial Day,
m a bright new dress. The entire paper
Is now printed in beautiful new type,
which gives it an excellent appearance.
Not only is the mechanical execution of
Ulis paper all that can be desired, but
the. editorial and news department is
ably and admirably conducted. The
Slate feels proud of euch an enterprising
organ as the News and Courier.
The dude threatens war. A young
Ssntleman of the bob-tail variety at Long
ranch took umbrage at the remarks of
one Nichols, a newspaper man, on udude
ism,"fliedude?a good sized fellow?was
Informed that Nichols was a small and
timed man. Acting upon this informa
tion, he demanded an instant apology and
retraction m writing, with the alternative^
of a castigation. To his surprise and
horror, Nichols requested him to put on
?a decent salt of cloths, come on with his
cassation,and he would go back in good
condition for waste-paper.
Corsect.?We fully agree with the
Greenville News in the following sug
gestion and commend it to the careful
attention of our town readers: "Now
is the tame for careful cleaning up of
bjick yards and thoroughfares. The color
~--ccl citizen is engaged in an earnest strug
gle with the watermelon crop, and the
traces of the contest are scattered every
where, and yield ordors which are not
conductive to the health of disinterested
non-combatants.- We can1 only keep
healthy by keeping clean, and we can
only keep clean just now by active
work." "
jrnpauy is^rot ~a'
corporation", but1 is public spirited, and
accommodating. The other day,-when
tic many people got poisoned ? in Cam
den, Mr. J. IE. Averill. Master of Trans
-^pCTtation of the road, 4elcgcaphed from
Summerv?le to the agent at Camden as
follows: "If Camden people want any
medical assistance or'other help from
Colombia to-day, let them know that we
stand ready tc?. Jielp all we can by free
uselqjtS^Bjfes^??d men. Please have
this mformanon communicated at once,
and notify me if they want anj'thing
from us."
Mystery.?While Mr. D. B. Con
nor was'walking in his pasture, in the
lower part of our Couuty a few days ago.
he found in a secluded place in a hollow
stt.mp two guns which had evidently
been there a erreat many years. All the
j wood work was gone, and the iron part
was twelve or fifteen inches under
' ground. Both guns were well loaded,
had a keen flint m each lock, and were
half cocked. .The barrels are as straight
as an arrow, and have been burnt with
many fires. The supposition is that the
guns were put there when the stump
was a green tree, perhaps a hundred
years ago or over. We wonder who put
them there, and for what purpose.
Solving the Labor Question.?
The Alken Recorder says: '-Mr. W. D.
.Childs, ot Columbia, S. C, by using
var.ous labor saving machines," is able
to produce, with one hand and two
horses, two thousand bushels ot corn,
working it over three times. We call
this a practical solution of the labor
question. What we want in South Car
olina are fewer negroes, less cot
ton, more labor saving machine
ry, more grain and meat, and additional
conveniences about the bavn and stable.
Supply these deficiencies and have fewer
Idling, shiftless negroes hanging around
the farm, and great will be the increase
in home comforts and domestic happiness
on every Carolina homestead."
A New Departure.?The Caro
lina Spartan is responsible for the fol
lowing: "The young ladies have made
a new departure in Darlington county.
A short time ago, a fair maiden of re
spectable family, with a good education
and unstained character, rose from her
bed between midnight and day and walk
ed sir miles to the house where her
heart's desire was sleeping. She ar
rived there before daylight and first en
countered some savage dogs, but as of
-aMLCupid fears neither locks, nor bars,
DOt^arks. She made her way to the
houtfe, aroused the sleepy headed swam,
and then they twain walked six miles to
a preacher's house where they were
made one. It is said that Darlington
mothers are locking up their sons at
night, now, to prevent the girls from
running away with them." Our boys
will beat the Darlington boys in gallan
try. They will at least meet the girls
half way.
Recreating.?Rev. J. F. Kiscr is
- enjoying his holidays seeing the sights
v among the great States and cities of the
J North. He has just visited the immense
Adelaide Silk Factory of Pennsylvania,
which works, 5C0 operatives, nearly all
girls and young women, and he says
that they differ widely in appearance
from what he has observed in cotton
and woollen factories. "They are neat,
well dressed, healthy, cheerful looking,
lady-like girls." The factory turns out
8000 yards of silk a week. Mr. Kiser
says: "I hope the time is not far dis
tant when silk factories and all other
sorts of factories will spriug up over all
the sunny South. Energy and capital
could make the South one of the great
est countries in the world." Besides
- visiting the factories aud other places of
filterest, we see that Mr. Riser is also
attending big picnics up North. He has
just enjoyed a large Lutheran picnic on
Calypso Island. He is one of the fortu
nate teachers, and we hope, after his
summer rambles, he" will return to his
Ocn^eburg school invigorated ia body
^ and strengthened in spirit for the next
Lsesjiou la labors.

earnestness, ''Or no woman either,, for I
they're just as Dad as the men." '
Agricultural Society Meet
ing.?The regular quarterly meeting of <
this Society was held on Saturday last, j
at Sheridan's nail, and was attended by
a considerable number of our most pro- J
gressivc farmers. The President, Dr. |
W. F. Barton, not being present. Mr.
J. J. Salley, one of the Vlce-Prcsidents,.
was called to the Chair, and made an
admirable presiding officer. After the
reading and confirmation of the minutes
of the last meeting, on motion of Dr. J.
W. Summers, the discussion of the sub
ject appointed for this day, was deferred
till the meeting in November,
Mr. Jno. S. Rowe offered a resolution,
that this Society endeavor to obtain pos
session of the tract of land near the
river, known as "military field," for
agricultural purposes, unless said pro
perty was claimed by private parties.
Mr. E. N. Chisolm, Dr. Summers and
Dr. Jno. C. Holman, of Committee on
experiments with fertilizers, made very
interesting reportSjbn?^Bj?jggastoo
cottbcWBlps' wa!
member speaking for ms" neighborhood,
with the following results, as compared
with last years crop: Corn. 75 per cent.,
cotton. 90 per cent. It is proper to
state, that several members objected
strongly to these figures,, holding that
they were too high.
It was proposed that at the next meet
ing we discuss the number and condi
tion of stock (cattle, hogs &c.) in the
County, as compared with 1882. The
gentleman proposing this discussion
stated that he was an Anti-Stock Law
man. and aiwa3's would be, but that as
far as he was personally concerned he
was raising more meat than ever, in
spite of the Stock Law.
The Society then adjourned for "Re
freshments," (to use a Grangers phrase.)
and thus ended a pleasant and profitable
meeting of this useiul Association.
Juvenile Entertainment.?A
number of the children of our town will
givi an entertainment at "Melllchamp's
School House" to-morrow (Friday)
eveuing. The entertainment will con
sist of a broom drill, recitations, and
music, and the proceeds will be sent to
the heathens in the name of the churches
of our town. The affair has been gotteu
up by the children themseves who have
called upon Miss Ida Zeiglcr to super
intend and guide them. The admission
fee will be 10 cents, and the exercises
will commence at 8 o'clock. We hope
the little folks will have a good audience
to encourage them in their praiseworthy
efforts.
Town Politics.?The uear approach
of our town election is causing the poli
tical not to boil at last, aud there is a
prospect of a temporary break iu the
monotonous quiet of the political atmos
phere. We attempted to make copies
of the various tickets that were posted
up in di?erent parts of our town, but we
gave up in disp'air, they came so thick
and fast. Wc ought always - to have
good men at the head of our municipal
affairs, and it is incumbent upon our citi
zens to consider what action is to be
taken to secure such. The time is short
and whatever is done ought to be done
quickly.
Base Ball.?On hist Friday a spirit
ed game of Base Ball was played at
Blackville between the "Orangeburg
Boys" aud "Blackville Bovs," in which
t'.e former came off victors In a score of
33 to 20. The Orangeburg Club consist
ed of Dr. Oscar. Lowman. Henry Brun
son. H. O. Dawson. W. IL Dukes, jr.,
Luther Sistrunk. Ryan Kclley, Henry
Holman, Joe Linie. T. Mitchell, J.
Walds and W. Lightfoot. Their visit
was made delightful by the handsome
treatment of the hospitable citizens of
our neighboring town. The "Blackville
Boys" will come to Orangeburg shortly
to play the second game of the match.
Pbetty Hot.?Mr. E. L. Salley, of
Texas, who is now on a visit to his
family in our town, gave us a copy of
the Breman, Texas. Banner, from which
we cull the following: "Mr. \V. II.
Vinson, of this city, on Saturday ex
hibited an ear of pop corn with quite a
number of grains popped on the cob: the
popping was produced by the heat of the
sun wl?le the corn was on the stalk.
He, to satisfy himself, laid nn ear of pop
corn in the suu about noon, aud in a
couple of hours a number of grains were
popped on the cob." This beats all wc
ever heard of for hot weather.
A Fighting Landlady.?The
Greenville News says: *-A landlady in
this city who boards United States wit
nesses, bandied oue of her guests rather
roughly yesterday. He used language
which was improper in her presence.
Her husband's infirmities deprived her
of protection, but she was not to be
intimidated, and very quietly doubled
her fist and gave the impertinent hoarder
a beating, which made the blood fly, aud
impressed him with her ability to re
sent indignities." Served him right.
When a woman has no one to protect
her she is perfectly justified in taking the
law In her own bauds.
..'_
f Is White a Color ??Tbo Court House
. Feiice-T-"Crltic"?Sir. Dibble.
- Between the Rivers, July 31, 1883.
Editors Times and "Democrat:
For some time-1 have been thinking
of writing to your paper, but have hesi
tated to do so for fear of intruding on
your time and patience. I don't write
to give information, but to seek it.
Neighbor B and myself have been along
tamo on a dispute about the word white.
B says white is a color. I contend that
white means, colorless, and therefore, is
not'a color. B said he could prove" it by
Webster's dictionary?and so he did.
But I told B I would not believe the
whole Webster family when It came to
the color line. B says I am mistaken,
as the Orangeburg Websters didn't make
the dictionary, but a family-of more re
pute. That might be so, but it don't
seem natural. I don't like this way of
making "white black just because the
Websters say so. Iuever went to school
much, but was taught that white meant
colorless, and was, therefore, not a color.
However, that was befere reconstruction.
Will somebody give me light on the sub
ject? If I am right, why keep Webster's
dictionary in our schools? Ain't there
danger of learning our children that we
are all colored people?
? Since the stock law is In force,
couldn't we sell that fancy fence around
the Court House and pay off some of tho
County debt with the proceeds of the
sale? What a burning shame on the
County to make such a show and at the
same time owe so many school teachers,
jurors and others for their hard earn
ings! But, say some, this debt was
contracted by the Radicals before 187G.
But, has it not been revised and accepted
by the County? Then I say it should
be paid up at once, at least, interest paid
on it. Dou't think from this that the
County is in debt to me. Not so. The
County does not owe me a cent, but I
despise this way of showing off when one
is honestly in debt. ?
I have been somewhat amused and
interested in the commuications from
"Critic," and have been wishing all the
time that some one would "spring his
ideas," as he calls it. But. alas ! he has
confessed that his ideas have been wash
ed away with his cotton by the spring
rains. They musthave been very light
and trashy. I am sorry to hear that
"Ci 'tic" has lost his ideas as it is believ
ed hat he had some good ones. It is
hoped he only lost his plans and not his
ideas. "Critic" had a good plan of tell
ing what he can do and has done, with
out bragging about it. I think "Critic's"
head is more level on the Jersey craze
than it was on the pea vine several years
ago, but would advise him not to bet too
high on that black heifer, if she Is Simon
pure scrub as "he says. He will lose.
Now I don't care to lock horns with
"Critic" as I have been only fanning
seventeen years on my own account, and
learn every year that I know very little
about it.
One item of news. I venture Mr.
Dibble stands head and shoulders higher
in this community since his letter to the
Register. Nemo,
P. S.?Tell "Critic" not to put green
backs on the black heifer's back, as
scrub cows will eat any tiling green with
out giving much in return.
A Set of Roguks.?On Monday, the
3th instant, a smart, well-dressed mu
latto fellow,styhng himself G, M. Madi
son, and hailing from Summcrville,turned
.ip on our streets. He had a friend with
iiim who went by the name of Frank
Alexander. The two stopped all night
it -the house of a colored man in our
town. The next morning our colored
L-itizon found to J:'s dismay that he had
not been "entertaining angels unawares"
for he had been robbed of ten dollars,
three pistols and a pair of shoes, and
that his guests had absconded. He im
mediately got out a warrant of arrest for
Madison. During the night also, while
i hard rain was falling, an attempt was
made to enter Mr. F. A. Schiffiey's
store, near the railroad, by boring the
back door. A young man passing at
the time scared them off and they gave
up the scheme. The two meu were
dentified by one of the late guard in our
town as ex-convicts from the Penitentia
ry. It having "been ascertained that
?fcjphnggage had been expressed from
ffangeburg to Columbia a dispatch was
?ent by Chief Wolfe to the authorities In
Columbia to be on the look out for them.
About three o'clock on Wednesday af
ternoon two of the parlies appeared at
;he Columbia express office, and, pro
luciug the receipt from the Oraugeburg
igent. claimed aud received their bag
jage. The watch being oil" duty at the
ame the rogues were well on their way
to the Charlotte depot before the police
;ot alter them. Hot pursuit was then made
by Sergeant Hamilton and policeman
llartin, and they were overtaken on the
streets before they reached the depot.
Madison immediately surrendered and
tvas taken back to the guard house by
Sergeant Hamilton. Hartin continued the
pursuit of the other scamps, who, being
closely pushed, turned and fired, the ball
striekiut: Hartin in the thigh, and caus
ing him to fall. He immediately arose,
liowever, and returned the lire, wound
ing his autagouist in the face, but not
preventing his flight, A short time
ifter,SherhT Rowan with a squad weutto
the house of a third man of the party,
Alexander Satterwhite, but he had just
made his escape. The posse also stop
ped at a colored woman's house, where
Alexadder, the man wounded by Har
tin, had stopped to dress his wounds.
The pursuit was kept up for a day or
two, but, up to Jtlns time, nothing has
been heard ot tlie fugitives. Madison is
now in the Oraugeburg jail.
A Murder and Lynching.?On
Tuesday morning last, in Miller Count}',
Ga., Joe Fulford, with the aid of Harry
Bradley, a negro, brutally murdered his
wife, who, at the time, was unable to turn
herself in bed. The negro beat her over
the head with a club until she was inscu
sdde. Then her husband choked the
remaining spark of life out. Fulford then
hired his accomplice and another negro
named Reuben Roberson .to haul the
body to spring Creek, a mile and a half
away, and sink it in the deepest part of
the water. Fulford then reported her ab
sancc, and sought to create an impression
that slic had committed suicide by drowu
ng. The neighbors searched the coun
try ail Tuesday evening and night. On
Wednaday the body was found, having
risen to the surface of the water, and
marks were found upon her body bearing
out the facts given above. Fulford was
arrested, but denied his guilt, and remark
ed that he would not have had his wile
murdered for live dollars. The two ne
groes were then arrested on suspicion
from some language they were beard to
use. and they made h full*confession,
giving the facts as recited. A Coroner's
jury rendered a verdict charging the three
'men with Hie crime. A preliminary trial
was had at Colquitt Friday, and they
were held for murder. There was talk of
burning the trio at a stake in the court
house yard, but wiser counsel prevailed.
Between 10 and 12 o'clock Friday night,
however. Fulford und Harry Bradley
were taken from the jail aud hanged to
a convenient timber near the jail. Their
bodies were perforated with bullets.
Fulford's father is a man of considerable
means, and is respected by Ids neighbors.
The general sentiment of the country
will approve the act of "Judge Lynch,"
since within two years two innocent wo
men have been murdered in ibe same
vicinity. In one case two of the guilty
parlies escaped punishment by breaking
jail aud lleeing the country.
Death.?Mr. Elliott Darby died at
his home near Fort Motte on Friday,
the 30th of July, after a lingering illness.
He was a gentleman of line culture and
eminent social qualities, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. He
leaves an interesting family whose be
reavement is surely a sad and heavy j
one. The dcatli of Mr. Darby is a
severe blow to the many friends lie has
won by his excellent traits of character,
and a loss to the community in which he
lived. lie was a member of the class of
'59 of the South Carolina College, and
served through the whole war as agallant
soldier in the Hampton Legion.
Mr. J. A. Inabinct will open business
next week in Mrs. Adden's now store
on Ttussell street. We wish him much
success.
