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.

Keep the premisee clean, and use every precaution to keep healthy!!*. ? - Congressman Dibble requests us to say that he will furnish blanks to those de siring to get German Carp from Wash ington. The weather for the last eight or ten days has been cool and delightful. It has certainly been refreshing and invigor ating to our .drooping energies.. The shouting at one of the colored churches on last Sunday night was alarm ias to the neighborhood. Better be havior is expected of Christian people. The exercises of Miss R. S. Albergot ti'8 School will be resumed on Monday, September 3,1883, at residence of Capt. T. A. Jeffords, Russell-street. For terms, &c, apply as above. 2 Rev. Mr. Harmon supplied the Metho dist Church, and Rev. G. M.'Tolson.the j Baptist Church, of our town no Sunday, the pastors of both being away on a recreating tour in the upper part of the State. Hon. T. W. Glover has been reap poimed Master m Equity. He is a faith ful and conscientious officer, and well deserves the position. Orangeburg is proud of such a public servant. A young fellow loudly announced in r. hotel dining room that he intended "to shoot the Colonel on sight." Before night every male boarder had left, some m such a hurry as not to pay then? bills. The South Carolina Railway Company {has notified the Railroad Commission that it will ask no change in the passen ger rates fixed by the Commission, and very slight modifications in the freight tariff.. It seems that the project of building a grand sea-side hotel on Sullivan's Island is taking definite shape. It will certain ly be a delightful resort for pleasure seekers and help Charleston consider ably. It is said there has been a great fall in matches since the internal revenue was Idled from them, but we don't per ceive it. Match making goes on about the same here as before, and cost just the same. The President has detailed Second Lieut, Erasmus M. Weaver. Jr.. Second Artillery, as professor of military science i and tactics of the Sou th Carolina Military I Academy at Charleston. This order wdl take effect October 1, 1883, and Lieut. , Weaver has been ordered to report for duty on that date. i The St. Louis Republican relates that ? at a wedding recently iu Illinois a parson 1 who is generally ready at repartee was completely nonplussed by an aged mat- : ron, who. after hearing the words, ' '?Whom God hath joined together let no ? man put assunder," exclaimed with great 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. BARGAIN COLUMN. Prepared Expreitsly for Close Bayers?To be Road Every Week.
