Fixe Cotton.?Mr. Cephas Mc Miehaelsent to our office on Wednesday of last week one of the finest stalks ot cotton we have seen this season. It was sue feet high, and we counted upon it over fifty bolls besides a profusion of forms. An acre of such cotton would he worth four or five acres of the average -weed. Why then not'adopt the inten sive syetem of farming ? Washed Down Streak.?Mr. Lather W. Hydrick had a very narrow pe from drowning in Snake Swamp last Thursday. He attempted to e a buggy across the branch in the iad, which was so deep that it washed with his horse and buggy down stream against the foot logs below. Fortunately, Mr. Hydrick escaped with out injury. A Bight Step.?We are glad to hear that our police look steps on last Satur day night towards the dispersing of the crowds of rowdy negroes that obstruct the sidewalks on Russell stree t, especi ... ally on Saturday nights, by arresting some of the most turbulent characters. This is a step in the right direction, which will receive the commendation of all lovers of peace and order. an Accident.?While Mr. Manor "V. Izlar was standing by a large iron wheel belonging to some machinery that was lying at the depot, in some way, he touched the wheel and caused it to fall upon his leg. He was fastened to the platform for some time by the weight of; the wheel, and his leg so badly hurt that fee was confined to his bed for two weeks. It is thought that the bone was slightly fractured. We are glad, how ever, to see that he is Out again and rapidly recovering from the injury. * "The Rurat, Editor's T rials. People with a high appreciation of their beloved dead will pay the undertaker well for the coffin and the use of his hearse; they will pay the sexton for dig ging the grave, and generally the minis ter for preaching the sermon?and then will come to the country editor with a -""t?hg-piece rehearsing the many virtues of the deceased, which they expect to have republished free. This is what they call the fitness of things. We find It impossible to make-people believe it j costs money to publish even a country | journal. . .iEiKtor Klngsbury, of the Wilmington ?w7Te*^?Qds to the denunciation oi him by EditorSTshe, of the Raleigh News and Observer with a long open letter de claring his chnstain principles and; clos ing thus: 'T will leave you to your ^ler shall again provoke me to use Improper or unchristain language towards you. I bear you no malice. Editor Ashe. *The devil shall not cheat me at that ?oint. I sincerely invoke God's Mess ung upon you, and I pray that in mercy He may make your heart as soft as jour head is," Local politics in. Charleston are begin ning to warm up. Colonel Joseph W. Barnwell, Chairman of the City Demo cratic Executive Committee in the municipal campaign, has announced himself as a candidate for Mayor against the present Mayor, Courtenay. Courte nay's friends have begun an active can vass of the city, aud are securing signers to a paper stating that his administration for the past four years.has been eminent ly satisfactory to the "tax payers of that city and requesting him to take the field lor re-election. The Democratic prima ry election-will be held on September 25, -when the campaign will assume a posi tive shape. CmzEjps Meeting.?We direct at Jen^??ft-tothe call In another column for meeting of the voters of cur town at the Engine House, on Friday night, to nominate candidates for Mayor and Aldermen at the comins election. The call is signed by a large uumber of citi zens, and we hope that the meeting will be well attended, and that it may result ^4??-wlse and harmonious action. We /'Want good men in charge of our muni cipal affairs, and we know of no better gway of getting them than for the citizens Ska their collective capacity to nominate a ticket of their choice, and then stick to it. Let every voter who can, come out. - Base Ball.?A game of Base Ball " was played on the Green on last Thurs day afternoon between the "Champions" of Orangeburg and the 'TIendersous" of Barn wed. The game was a close and -?exciting one, aud, dark coming on, it was called,, before completion, with a score of 34 to 31 in favorof the '"Hender sons." The Baruwell boys were a clever set and made a very favorable ; impression in our town. Mr. Royall, ?he umpire, was much admired for the fair and gen tlcmauly manner in which he made his decisions. As the busy season is about setting in, the time of ^gjajing the next came is somewhat m rderkiite. We hope the Barnwell boys will pay us another visit at no distant day. They will always be welcome. A Narrow Escape.?Mr. John H. Fanning, living near town, came up one day last week, aud brought with him a crocus bag in which he carried a few packages home. When he got home, !ic took the packages out, and put the bag down In a corner of his bed-room. The next morning, he took up the bag and wont into his watermelon patch and put in a watermelon or two, without leaving the bag on the ground at all. Coming back to the hOQS,e, he emptied out the. watermelons, when out crawled an cnor .^moug pilot rattle snake. The snake was 'filled and a whole rat was found in its stomach. The supposition is. that the snake got into the bag in Mr. Farming's bed-room during the night, and the rat. also making a nocturnal visit to the bag, was swallowed. It was certainly a nar row escape. Struck Dead.?On Saturday after noon, Osborne Nally, who lives in Anderson county, in the Brushy Creek nelgborbood, was at work in a licld near his house with his wile and ncice, A heavy storm was coming up and there were repeated flashes of lightning. The cloud was so far off, apparently, that Mr. Nally did not abandon work." Sud denly there was a brilliaut flash and he fell dead upon the ground. His neicc was also knocked down, but revived sufficiently to rise to her feet again. It i found that one of Mr. Nally's shoes j had been torn to pieces, but, beside this, ^there was no mark of violence except a slight discoloration of the skin oil one jide of the face. His two conr,)anions were so shocked, frightened and distres sed, that they cotdd do nothing for some moments. Help was obtained and the body -of the. ?jntbrfcqqate man was remov ed'to thehous?. Local Dots. Deep Rock in Syphons at Patrick's. Miss Anuie East, of St. Matthews, 13 visiting her aunt, Mrs. (Jornelson, in town. ' Vennor is tho most previous of all weather prophets. He predicted frost' in August. Cotton is commencing now to roll into town, and soon trade will be brisk and everything lively. The exercises of Miss Annie A. Al bergotti's School will be resumed on Monday, September 3, 1883. 2 - The' rain on Sunday night seems to have broken the summer heat, and now we are having comparatively pleasant weather. There will be preaching in tho Baptist Church by tne pastor, Rev. T. M. Sn next Sunday, and regularly i have been in progress at the ptiat and Methodist Churches m without interruption for weeks. . Tobin has made a neat job wthe firm name of "Lowman & Dukes" on the West side of the store of these gentlemen. Shull & Bro. will open a first-class Restaurant in rear of DeMars* store on the 3d of September, where meals will be served at all hours. The public school will open its session Monday, Sept. 3, over Messrs. Brunson & Dibble's store, with Mrs. Susan E. Albergotti as teacher. Call on W. C. Crum, of Rowesville, and obtain good bargains. He is just from New York with a first-class stock of General Merchandise. I All the schdols open on Monday. It is to the advantage of parents to send their children on the first day. They have had holiday enough. Five handsome young ladies visited our office during the past week. What do our old" .bachelor friends. Holmes and McSweeny, think of that ? Some oFthe smaller watering places are so dull and sleepy that mosquitoes come out on the hotel piazzas and yawn while waiting for the city train to come. Physicians say that ginger ale is a poor substitute for water, because the capsicum it contains irritates the lining of the stomach and produces dangerous inflammation. Mr. A. M. Izlar will have a black smith started m a few days in the rear of Dr. A S. Hydrick's lot to open on the lane by the Methodist Church. It will be run by Mr. Howell. The school vacation is drawing toward a close, and the boys and girls who Ifave been having a good time generally, will soon have to brush the dust from their books and stare on another session. If a Long Brauch correspondent is to be believed, they are wearing very cool dresses at that popular resort this season: He says: '^Nothing but coral necklaces can be seeu upon society belles this sea son." We would advise Brother Holmes not to be too much elated over the success ot the Barnwell base balhsts here last week. Our boys will return the compli ment when they go over to play with the Hendersons. Mrs. W. N. Scoville sent us last week a full blown llower of the Night Bloom ing Cercus. It was a beauiilul speci men. Mrs. Scoville has one of the larg est and most beautiful collection, of green house plants in the State. A Western writer thinks it is unfortu nate for women that they must wait to be courted. Yes, but just think how un fortunate it would be for a fellow if a halt dozen women should follow him home and insist upon remaiulug until midnight courtiug him. South Carolina has an area ot 34,000 square miles and a population of one mill ion in round numbers, nearly two-thirds of whom are negroes. Just think of this. View it in the light of politics, labor and education. The questions involved are not idle ones by any means. The. average young lady is a queer piece of calico and tixius ! She wants at least four feet of seat in a railroad car to ride a mile or two; but she will ride half a day Sunday squeezed into a buggy seat beside her young man and not lind the least fault. Why are they not more consistent? The Columbia Yeoman says: "The Bev. T. C. M. Golland, who is now in jail at Orangcburg. charged with steal ing a horse, has so far recovered from his simulated insanity that he will prob ably soon be sent back to Collcton to stand his trial." Our cotemporary is mistaken. Golland is not in our jail. The editor of "The Owl," an anony mous paper which appeared in Atlanta last week, has come to grief. A friend of a young lady, oli Simpson street, whom '?'The Owl" called a dudine. went to his office and thrashed out the whole con cern. Six other individuals were look ing for '??The Ow!" editorly last accounts, but he could not be found. We want our tjwn properly kept up and gradually improved within the scope of our means, but we want no reckless and extravagant taxation. A Council that will look to the interest of the tax payers, and, at the same, tune do all that can be done towards improvement and progress, is tho Council to elect. Wc want economy with improvement. The Atlanta Journal having published a statement about an editor that was drunk with $3.000 in his pocket, the Grffiln Sun replies as follows: "Wc don't believe that was an editor, because editors, hardly ever get drunk, and that $3,0U0 is proof positive that it was some other than a newspaper man. All edi tors are more or less wealthy, but you never catch them gettiin: drunk with $3, 0U0 in their pockets. !Not much! The Winnsboro News and Herald, of last week, says the Georgetown Enquir er and the Oiangeburg Times and Democrat are growing excited over the tariff discussion, and adds: "Peace, gen tlemen; you certainly can agree to disa gree." Thanks for your kind sugges tion, but the danger is all over, the pipe of peace has been passed around, and everything is as pleasant between us and ! our Georgetown frlcud as a May morn ing. Green Pond, walterboro and Branchville Railroad.?The Act passed at the last session ot the Legisla ture incorporating the Green Poud, Walterboro and Branchville Railroad, authorized the County of Collcton to subscribe $00,000 for tlic building of the road, but requried. before these County bonds should be issued, that $10,000 should be subscribed by individuals and other corporations. Collcton County has come up to the requirements of law and subscribed the $00.000. and now books of subscription have been opened in Branchville, Charleston and several places iu Collcton to raise the. $10,000. The estimated cost of building the road will be $4,000 a mile, so that.v70.000 will not only carry it from Green Pond to Walterboro. but some distance beyond that point. A colored man who owns 30,000 acres of laud between Walterboro and Branchville, has agreed to subscribe $5000 to help the construction to the latter place. As to what ell'ect the Railroad will have on Orangeburg Coun ty we arc not prepared to say. Kail roads, of course, benefit tho " country through which I hey pass, and all living on the line will undoubtedly (iivor the project. Brnnchvilte, it seems to us ought to be interested one way or the other, and the c itizens of the place ought to give the matter the serious consider ation it deserves. The News and Courier urges the merchants and business men of Charleston to subscribe, and says "the road will be a great feeder to the Savannah Road, and. when completed to Branchville. will also become so to the South Carolina Road." Each share of stock is put at $50, ten per cent, to be paid in cash at the time of subscrip tion, and the rest either in labor, ma terial, supplies or money. We heard a citizen of Branchville say that he would subscribe hbendly, if it is agreed that the work of construction commeuce simultaneously at both ends. The Broom Drill,?Tho Broom Drill on last Friday evening was a grand success. The popularity of the young ladies composing the two com panies, and the reputation they have at tained for superior drilling, drew a crowd ed house. Mr. M. 0. Dantzler acted, as before, as drdl master ot Company A, and Mr.N. H. Bull, of Company B. About half-past 8 o'clock, the two com panies with their bright and attractive uniforms, charming faces and military trend, entered tue hall to the tap of the drum. An open space was left in the centre of the spacious room in which the drilling was executed, and the audience sat around where a good view of all the maneuvers could be obtained. Excellent music was furnished by the Edisto Band, and everything tended to gayety and pleasure. The two companies vied with each other for nearly two hours, every one present beiug charmed with the grace and accuracy of their movements. The judges found it a difficult task to de cide where both did so well. Finally. Company A was adjudged the winner of the prize. It will be remembered that the last time Company B came off vic torious, but it seems that Company A determined Dot to stay whipped, and now the two are even and ready for an other contest. The contest next came for the individual prise. This too was exceedingly exciting. Misses Bertha Albrieeght and Rena Bull were the two last who were left on the doer to vie with each other for victory. After a long and spirited trial, in which both the con testants won the repeated applause of the audience, the decision was rendered in favor of Miss Rena Bull. The com pany prize was awarded by Mr. B. H. Moss, and the individual prize by Capt. J. A. Hamilton. The pleasures of the evening then closed with the recitation by Miss Fannie Scruggs of "Shamus O'Brian." This was rendered in grace ful and elegant style, and gave great en joyment to the enraptured audience. Thus ended a delightful evening. The first entertainment of the kind was given for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church. The proceeds of this went to the Methodist Church. We hope the ball will be kept in motion until all the churches have benefits, and we hope also that the public interest will be kept up so'that each of the future entertainments shall equal the past in success. A Snake Horror.?On last Friday a rumor got a?oat that a huge rattle snake was secreted in a car load of water melons that had just arrived at our de pot. The affair caused considerable ex citement, and the more it was talked over, the more intense the horror be came. One individual said he saw the monster, and declared that it was six feet long. Another saw the head, and swore it was as big as a bull dog's. Thus things stood until Saturday morn ing when a band of heroes mustered up courage, am!, armed with, sticks and other weapons of warefarc, approached the car with the determination of getting at the bottom facts. Every step was made with supreme caution. The water melons were carefully overturned with long poles maneuvered at the other end by the undaunted chargers. The search went bravely on, when, at last, the mystery was solved, and the dark hor ror revealed in all its hidcousness. The monster was found coiled up in one cor ner of the car looking on wonderingly at the strange demonstrations of the ruth less disturbers of its repose?it was a little king snake five inches long. But the horror did not stop here. The mis chievous boys took the viper, and. enclos ing it in an official envelope, raanted ?'important," placed it carefully upou tne desk of our courteous and good ma tured Agent while he was out attending to a passenger train. On his return, he spied the envelope, and, thinking there was money iu it, he quickly tore it open, and emptied Its contents iu his hand. We will not attempt to describe his language. Suffice it to say that he jumped live feet vertically aud ten horizontally, and yelled like a Comanchc Indian. The boys standing around were as quiet and Innocent ns Sunday school scholars, and, of course, could give no light upon the subject. M. B. Sistrunk.? A deep gloom was cast over our community by the an nouncement of the death of Mr. M. B. Sistrunk, a prominent young citizen cf Oraugeburg, on Monday morning. Mr. Sistrunk was a young man of excellent traits, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was kind and genial in disposition, faithful in business and upright iu his dealings. He was au ac tive member of the lire department and always took a lively and laudable inter est in everything pertaining to the pub lic good. As an evidence of the confi dence reposed iu him, he was, for a long time. Assistant Foreman of the Elliott Hook and Ladder Company, and was also one of the Board of Fire Masters. He had been gradually declining In health for the past year or two, but continued at his post of business with characteristic energy until it was impossible to bear up auy longer. He was confined to his bed but a few days when death relieved him of his sufferings. Within the past lew years, a father, mother and brother preceded him to the grave. His funeral services look place at the Methodist Church on Tuesday morning before a large congregation, Rev. W. H. Richard son officiating. The Elliott and Young America Fire Companies, the Edisto Hilles and the Masonic brotherhood turned out to pay the last tribute of re spect to his memory. His body was taken to the family burying ground, about fifteen miles from Oraugeburg, for interment. A Sad Death.?The Charleston Sunday Times, of the 2Clh instant, says: '?The community was startled yester day morning by the sad intelligence that Mr. Bobert II. Hayne had taken his own life, in his bed-room in the rear of the office at the South Carolina Railway, at the southeast corner of Ann and King streets. On inquiry the report was found to be true. A little before eight o'clock, the colored porter of the office went to Mr. Hayue's room to carry him a cup of coll'ce, as was his usual habit. On entering, he found Mr. llayne lying on the floor, in a pool of blood, with a bullet hole in his right temple. A few feet from his side lay the ever-ready Smith oc Wesson. The alarm was nn piediatcly given, and Drs. Lobby and Simmons were summoned, and did all in their power to relieve the unfortunate man; but to no purpose, as he died about S.-I? 1*. M. No reason is assigned for the desperate act. The deceased was about thirty-six years old, was the son of Hon.Isaac llayne of this State, and was held in the highest esteem by the entire people of the city. He was pay master for the South Carolina Railway, and had been iu the employ ofthat road about ten years, during which time it is said that he has enjoyed the full con fidence and esteem of his employers. The sympathies of the community are with the grief stricken family ot the deceased." An editor in Chicago recently ordered a pair of trousers from the tailor. On trying them on they proved to be several inches too long. It being late on Saturday night the tailor's shop was closed and the editor look the trousers to his wife and asked her to cut them oil' and hem them over. The gcod lady, whose dinner had perhaps disagreed with her, brusquely refused. The same result followed an application to the wile's sis ter and the eldest daughter. But before bedtime the wife, relenting, took the pants and, cutting off six inches from the legs, hemmed them up nicely and re stored them to the closet. Halfan hour later her daughter, taken with compunc tion for her unlilial conduct, took the trousers and, cutting oil'six inches, hem med and replaced them. Finally the sister-in-law felt the pangs of conscience and she too performed an additional sur gical operation on the garment. When the editor appeared at breakfast on Suu day the family thought a Highlaud chief tain had arrived*. President Arthur and Senator Vesl have been afflicted with cholcra-morbm from eating too many lish on their Wes tern jaunt. BARGAIN COLUMN. Prepared Expremly for Close Bnyors?To be Rend Kvery Week.

An Attempted Outrage.?While a colored woman by the name of Ann Baxter, living near Rowesvillc, was on her way home from Orangebnrg, on last Friday, a uegro tramp who was walking on the Railroad, attempted to commit an outrage upon her, and treated her most brutally. In the struggle t'ue woman's clothes were almost torn off of her, and she was robbed of $2.05. It happened that a freight train rolled up just at tho time, and the woman hailing to the en gineer, he stopped the traiu and made for the scamp who precipitately fled through the woods and made his escape. He failed to accomplish Ids purpose. The woman then went on to Rowesville in a sad plight. She did not recognize tho villain, who seemed to be a stranger, and, therefore, bis capture will be extremely doubtful. Senator Beck, has struck his colors. He says that "the revenue tax should be adjusted as far as possible so as to aid the American industries in the propor tion in which they can least bear foreign competition." Just so, Mr. Beck, a tariff for revenue, with incidental protec tion. Mr. Beck has no cause to say one word, after this, against Mr. Randall's candidacy for the Spcakership. One by one the free traders fall by the wayside. Supreme Lodge, Knights of Hon or.?Louisville. Ky., Juue 1st, 1883.?Edward B. Harper, Presi dent. 55 Liberty St., New York City.? Dear Sir :?I have carefully examined into the objects and plans of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, aud I am profoundly impressed with its sys tem.
