Salley's, in the Pork, recently erected by the Public School Trustees for thecoioxod people, was mysteriously destroyed by fire. It was a comfortable ' frame building and the loss was a seri ous one. The origin of the' fire is?not known, and it Jte therefore doubtful ?whether it was accidental, or an act of incendiarism.

Off for Florida.?A number of families from the Pork started on a journey for Florida during the week before Christmas to try their fortunes Iii the "Land of Flowers." Messrs. Da vid A Phillips, Henry Phillips, Calvin Rutland, JohnFogle and others, con stituted the party. The Plorida fever seems to be on the increase and we hear of others who contemplate going. We are sorry to hear this as we can't afford to lose any of the good citizens of Or ? angebuxg County by emigration. Chief of Police Wolfe was made the recipient on Christmas Day of a hand some silver butter dish as a present from the policemen on the force This was a graceful tribute to our worthy tJhief of Police, and one that will be ap preciated by that efficient, officer as it rC is an expression of esteem and good w?i of those who serve under him. The presentation was made on behalf of the force by W. L. Glaze, Esq., City Attorney, in a neat little speech. Cap tain Wolfe, who was taken completely by surprise, responded in a feeling manner on accepting the gift.

Tite Standard Dramatic Compa ny.?This most excellent theatrical com bination have been treating our citizens to some of its best performances during the present week. It opened here on . Monday night with the "Black Dia mond," and on Tuesday and Wednes day evenings the "Two Orphans" and MNew York by Gaslight" respectively ?were admirably rendered to large audi ences It is almost needless for us to .?say one ,vord in praise of this company, ?thev being well-known to our people as H?Kbes and gentlemen of decided histri onicHalent. Miss Alice Irving renders her parts with that grace and elegance that only\ first-class artists can com mand. Miss Nellie Claire and Miss Nina Ritchies^re also bright ornaments of their profession, and always render their parts charmingly. Mr. S*B.

Other members of the company cfrsssomefine acting, and taken altogether tncvy> hole troupe is an admirable combinatioB.of talent that cannot fail to please. Ti>e company makes its hist appearance for' this season to-night, when we hope it "wUl be greeted by an overllo wing house. It has been here so often and given our people so much genuine pleasure that Orangeburg feels a proprietary interest in the Standard Dramatic Company, and we but voice the sentiment of the drama loving portion of our community when we express the wish that it will come again next Christinas. A Sad and Tragic Death.?Seldom or ever has our community received so sudden and terrible a shock us on last Fridav afternoon in the sad and tragic death of Mr. A. W. Bell, a citizen of our town, and conductor on material train No.of the South Carolina Rail way Company. The fatal accident oc curred about 1 o'clock on Friday, at Felder's, about three miles from* our town. Conductor Bell was standing on the platform of his car giving direc tions to his engineer when his foot Slipped and he fell on the track bet ween the ears. Three of the cars passed over his body and nearly severed it before the tram could Ik?, stopped. He was almost instantly killed. His body was immediately brought to his home in Orangeburg. As soon as the news of the melancholy affair reached Charles ton, a special'train was-sent by the Railroad Company to convev the" bodv to the city for interment. Mr. II. W. Sigwald, of Charleston, the father-in law of the deceased, and a Committee of Conductors, came on this train. The funeral services were performed at the residence of Mr. Sigwald in the city by Rev. L. K. Probst, of the Lutheran .church, after which the remains were followed to their last resting place at Magnolia Cemetery by a long train of sorrowing friends and relatives. ' Among the number were fifty or more Railroad employees. Mr. Bell was a hative of Colleton, had resided for many years in Charleston, and had recently made himself a comfortable home in Orangeburg. He had been in the em ploy of the Railroad Companv for eight , years, during which time he had given entire satisfaction. He was very pop ular and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves behind a wife 'and child who have the heartfelt sym pathy of the entire community in" so ?inua bereavement. Local Dots.

Misses Birdie and Emma Dudley are spending the holidays with Miss Ella BulL There was no sweeter joy on Christ inas than the giving and receiving of presents.

Christmas has come and gone. Old Santa Claus made his usual rounds, and left the little ones; happy. Misses Agnes Dibble, Fannie Moseley and Lizzie Dexter are home from col lege to spend the holidays. Mr. A. W. Hamilton's "Pierre," in the "Two Orphans", last Tuesday night, was a perfect piece of acting. Christmas Trees were all the rage last week over the county. We have never heard of as many before. Young man, you can commence form ing Xew Year resol utions. Be sure to make good ones and stick to them. Appropriate services were conducted in the Lutheran Church on Christmas Day by the pastor, Kev. J. F. Kiser. A dull spell may be expected nowun iil the political pot begins to boil for '84, which will be rather hard on the editors. The long contemplated hotel on Sul livan's Island is to be built at last. The architect has gone to work. It is to cost ?25,000. Mr. A. D. Cannon, tor many years a resident of oartown but who is now a resident of Florida, is visiting friends in our midst. Delinquent subscriber, the only Xmas present we ask of you is that you pay us what you owe us. We ask for nothing more. Mr. Hugo G. Sheridan, Sr., and fami ly, have gone on a visit to friends in Colleton County. We wish them a pleasant trip. The Act has passed making our town a "city," and granting certain powers to our town council. We can only say, deliver us from high taxes. Sorrow is the porchway to joy, the pathway to maturity and peace. No one has ever become good or great who has not met and mastered sorrow. If the Divorce bill had have passed, the colored people would have filled ev ery Court with cases, and given the lawyers a great deal of annoyance. Mine host Fairy, of the Orangeburg Hotel, regaled his guest with egg-nogg and cake on Christmas Day just before serving up a most excellent dinner, i The ladies connected with the Stan dard Dramatic Company are as modest and refined in their deportment as they are chaste and captivating in their act ing. Our brains are seventy-year clocks. The angel of life winds them up once for all, then closes the case and gives the key into the hands of the angel of the resurrection. There are no nice little stories about the return of the "prodigal daughter." The son can return and have the finest veal served up for him, but the daught er must stay away. An exchange says: "Next year is leap year because then the girls are sup posed to jump at the first chances." But, sometimes, the girls don't do as they are "supposed" to do. Miss Annie Tylee, who met with such a sad accident some time ago out in St. Matthews, has recovered sufficiently to return to her home in Charleston, w hither she went last Saturday. When the House passed the bLU abol ishing the Lien Law, our farmers were happy, but the Senate has gone and knocked the thing in the head, and great will be the disappointment. It is nice to be a handsome young lady.

The New Year brings h?ls. There is a great deal of sorrow comprehended in that sentence; there is no man living who likes?-who really enjoys?the ar rival of bills. It isn't in human nature. We all like to keep what we have got. When anything happens in your sec tion worthy of mentioning in these columns,, we would esteem it a favor if you will send us the particulars. State the particulars briefly on a postal card, and we will arrange it for publication. Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Barton, who have been visiting Florida for the past two or three weeks, returned home last week. The Doctor showed us some as handsome fruit Ms we ever saw that he brought with him from the Land of Flowers. Take two ordinary steel pens of the same pattern and insert them in a com mon holder. The inner pen will be the writing pen. Between this and the outer one will be held a supply of ink, when once dipped into the fluid, that will be sufficient to write several pages of note paper. The children of the Baptist Sunday ? School presented their Superintendent, Mr. John Zeigler, and the teacher of the Bible class, Kev. T. M. Galphin, with appropriate tokens of esteem on last Sunday. The presentation was neatly made in behalf of the school, by Miss Ida Zeigler. The school teachers of our town fared well on Christmas Day. We have heard of several of them who received valued presents from their pupils. This is as it should be, for there is nothing more important than affectionate relations between teachers and pupils of which these little tokens are gratifying signs. John Agnew, of Columbia, is work ing to be Marshal of this State, backed by Brayton and Smalls. Marshid Liv ingston is supported by Mackey, Taft and Collector Johnson, of Charleston. It is none, of our funeral, but we hope that Livingston will be able to hold his own against Agnew, who is one of the biggest rascals in the State. Christinas has passed, and avc hope that we will have no serious accidents or mrshapa to report. All went off well in our town, and, as far as we have heard, in our County. The firing of crackers during the day, and the send ing off of firew orks at night kept things lively. The young people had lots of f un.nind the old foik^s were made happy in seeing them enjoy themselves. Some miscreant, not -having the fear of God or man before lijs eyes, cut the harness on Dr. A. S. Salley's horse last week while it was standing hitched to a buggy in front of a residence whith er the Doctor had gone to visit a sick lady. Any person whose heart is de praved enough to commit such a dep redation on so good a man as Dr. Sal ley would steal coppers off of his dead mother's eyes. i * The Christmas Tree at the Presby terian Church, on Christinas Eve night, under the management of Superintend ent Hamilton, was a pleasant and suc cessful affair. The exercises were very interesting. After the siuging of sever al beautiful pieces and an admirable and appropriate recitation by Master Woodwaril Hutson, the presents were given out, and all the little folks went home happy. The Bamberg Chronicle, of last week, published this interesting item: "We learn that brother Holmes, of theBaxn well People, is to be married, Friday night, to a lady living near Ashleigh, S. C., Barnwell railroad. Long life and happiness to him." If brother Holmes I is married, it .is the strongest proof in the world "that as long as the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." We will withhold our con gratulations until the good news of brother Holmes' salvation is confirmed. The Anderson journalsma that Lord Bacon's signs of short life are quick growth, fair soft skin, soft, fine hair, early corpulence, large head, short neck, small mouth, fat ear, brittle, separated teeth. There are other signs of short life that Lord Bacon probably failed to notice, such as going into a saloon twelve or fourteen times a day, sitting down on a railroad track, and writing original poetry. Another sign of short life that has proven invariable is call ing upon an editor for satisfaction about something he has writ ten. Grand Lodge, A. F. M,?The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina assembled in annual com munication at the Masonic Temple in the city of Charleston at 12 o'clock on Tuesday, December, 11th. All the grand officers were present, also the re presentatives from 126 subordinate Lodges. The Grand Master, in his ad dress, gave a careful review of the con dition of the order in this State, and the harmonious relations of the Grand Lodge with other grand bodies through out the world. He recommended the adoption of biennial sessions, thereby reducing expenses, as a means of liquidating the debt of $23,000 which hangs over the Grand Lodge. Several amendr.ivnts to the constitution were I up for consideration. The amend orient providing for biennial sessions was de feated. The amendment limiting the mileage and per diem of delegates to tho amount of dues returned by the Lodges they represent was adopted, as was also the amendment permitting District Deputy Grand Masters to make official visits to subordinate Lodges at called meetings." A resolution was adopted requesting a contribution of S3 from each subordinate Lodge in the State for the use of the South Carolina room at Mount Yernon, the remittance to be made to the Grand Treasurer by the first of March, 1884. The following grand officers were elected to serve tho ensuing year: "VV. M. Humphreys, Anderson, Grand Master; J. Adger Smyth, Charleston, Deputy Grand Mas ter; A. H. White, Rock Hill, Senior Grand Warden; R. F. Divver, Ander son, Junior Grand Warden; John H. Honour, Charleston, Grand Treasurer; Charles Inglesby, Charleston, Grand Secretary. Methodism in South Carolina.? I There are within the bounds of this Conference 591 hpuses of worship oc cupied by Methodist' congregations? an average of-io1 for each county in the State; one for every 260 families, or one for every 1,400 of the entire popu lation of the Commonwealth. The val ue of these 591 church edifices is esti mated at 8592,995. There are 109 par sonages, valued at 8131,134. The Con ference owns two colleges and eleven school houses, valued at 894,585. There are within the Conference bounds 26 camp grounds, valued at 816,375. There was collected in 1883, for support of pastors, 880,561.19; presiding elders, 810,942.59; total, 891,203.78. Claimants on Conference fund, 85,208.; foreign missions, 87,491.28; domestic missions, 85,311.07; for education, 82,237.57; bish ops, 8569. 31; Sunday schools, 85,446.07; publishing of minutes, 8429.78; building and repairs, 829,748.82; other benevolent enterprises, 89,116.28; total for all pur poses, 8157,201.28. During the last de cade?1870 to 1879?there was raised in the Conference for ministerial support, 8716,942.24; Conference claimants, 845, 828.25; bishops, 88,258.52; missions, 876, 049.67; education, 821, 388. 96. Total 8846,537.62. Very Mysterious.?The Carolina Spartan says: "Lately an account of the finding of certain buggy whips was published. Mr. Oliver wrote to Mrs. Ohapin of Charleston to know if Mr. Chapin had hidden any whips behind the ceiling and left them there. She replies that he had whips there and left some of them hidden away. These whips were wrapped in paper, and, as far up as it covered, the varnish seemed fresh, and, where not covered, the whips looked old a ad worn. The plating on the end was tarnished as though they had been long used. 2s ow, if Mr. Chap in nailed the whips up in the ceiling in 1865, the revelation of this fact to John Fant, a rather dull colored man, who happened to be on an adjoining lot, .is a mystery. Several tenants have occu pied the house since 1865, and last year there were 150 school children in it pry ing into every nook and corner from cellar to attic. Fant sticks to his first story, and he* seems to believe that it was a ghost that pointed to the ceiling where the whips were." Yields Gracefully.?In last week's Barnwell People, we find the following humorous atlvcrtipement^of one of and the South Carolina Legislature 'are united in declaring that a long, dry spell will begin in Barnwell at mid night on Monday, the 31st inst., and as I propose to join the procession, I invite my friends, enemies and the rest of mankind to call and get their Christ mas, New Year and Dry Spell supplies of tho purest wines, whiskeys, brandies, rum and bitters in Barnwell. This is your last chance to fortify yourself against snakes, malaria, cholera morbus and the many ill? for which the medi cal fraternity prescribe such physic. Next year you may call up spirits, but they won't come, so fill your little I own jug at Ben Davies, and don't wait until his stock is exhausted." A remarkable occurrence took place in Anderson on last Friday. Jim Jor dan, an old colored man, aged 75 years, who lives two miles out of town, rode to the city on a mule bringing a sack of corn to mill, when the mule slipped and fell with him near the depot. The old man fell with his right leg on a rock and the sack of corn on him, and he found himself unable to rise, but some parties near by assisted him up and on his mule,-when he rode up in town looking for Dr." Duckett. The doctor was soon found, and, after mak ing an examination, he pronounced one bone of the leg fractured below the knee. He directed the patient to ride back home, saying he would come -out at once and dress the wounded member, and the old man started off on his two mile ride as cheerfully as if he only had a briar in his foot. A Blue Outlook.?As the 1st of January approaches?pay day?many poor debtors are shaking in their boots' not knowing where the cash is to come from with which to pay their creditors; yet, for that matter, the creditor feels about as bad, for he feels pretty certain that but few of the debts will be paid this time. Under these circumstances, what is best to be done. Renew the security, and try the poor unfortunate debtor another year. Mercy is a divine attribute, and there never was a time when it could be more consistently shown than now. Our people through no fault of their own, have lost heavily by the drought of the last summer; but if they are allowed to go on, most of them will yet make all things right with the creditor. Give them a show ing and all will be well., Mr. Needham Askew,rof Farmville township, went to Marlboro, and, in company with another man, got drunk. After drinking as long as he wanted to, Mr. Askew started for home, his com panion with him. Soon after leaving Marlboro, Mr. Askew was overpowered by the whisky he had taken and fell in the foot of thvJ buggy- His comrade being too much under the influence of liquor to assist him, he remained in the position in which he fell until his home was reached, and when his wife went out to the buggy to get him to the house, she discovered that he was dead. When he slipped down in the foot of the buggy his head fell over the dash, and being too drunk to alter his posi tion, he died from strangulation before reaching home. The Augusta Chronicle says: "Gen eral Butler's bill for allowing a clerk ship to each Senator, at 81,000 annual ^ampensation is a virtual revival of Senator Brown's measure that was de feated at the last session. Will the South Carolina papers that objected to it then advocate it now?" To this the Oreenville News well answers for the South Carolina editors: "They will not. Senator Butler does not control or try to control the sentiments of South Car olina newspapers. No South Carolina editor hold offices under any of the State's public men." The advantages of the Southern States continue to attract the greatest attention. They offer inducements found nowhere else. The South has all that is necessary for manufactering purposes, and the marvelous richness of her soil makes her the theatre for agricultural industries. In a few years we may expect to find her the workshop and farm of the United States. Personal.?We had the pleasure of meeting the Hon. Samuel Dibble, our immediate Representative in Congress, who is home for the holidays. )Ve are pleased to see him looking weU. Read our bargain column. News of the "Week. Col.

Titus, colored, last Wednesday, while hunting in Abbeville County. Ex-Speaker Randall, writing to a sympathizing friend in Connecticut, says: "Do not apprehend any legisla tive mistakes here; we shall all do our utmost to avoid them, and strive to put' our party in trim for 1884." At Rockville, Illinois, on Friday, John Bonnor locked out his wife be cause she refused to supply him. with money to get a drink. She went to the woods with her children and while building a fire her clothing caught lire and she Was burned to death. Rosa Keiser, a handsome young wo man of 35 years, shot herself dead in a room of a man named Dunn, at the Windsor Hotel, New York, on Friday in the presence of Dunn and his newly married wife. Dunn had been engaged to Miss Keiser and had aban doned her without excuse or explana tion. Mahone insists that the defeat of Gorham for Secretary of the Senate has set back the cause of Liberalism in the South for several years. Liberalism has been having a hard time lately.

They say that in a prayer meeting at Westfield, Mass., the other night, a good brother rose and said he "wanted to hear sung the beautiful hynln, 'Split Doors.' ?' Every one looked at every body else in perplexity for a moment, and then a quick-witted sister struck up "Gates Ajar," which was what the good brother wanted. Of President Arthur, as a candidate for a second term, the New York Sun says: "He controls the shadowy Re publican organization in .the South and in the territories and will send to Chic ago from the three States of New York, Colorado and. Nebraska solid delega tions in his behalf; he will need no oth er votes. He will get the nomination on the first ballot."-;. Frank Evans, a barkeeper, was as sassinated Friday night on the high way, near Homesville, Robinson Coun ty, N. C. The murdered man was on his way home from a party. It is strongly believed that a colored man, who is suspected of his murder, was hired by an enemy of Evans to conceal himself in the highway and shoot Evans from ambush as he passed him. A few days ago Edward F. Baldwin* a wealthy real estate dealer of Newark* N. J., went to the forests of Wyoming County Pa., hunting. He was accom panied by W. S. Cannon and J. R. Bur nett. On Friday, he got lost in the for ests, and after a search of several hours was found dead, with his dog watching beside his body. He had. died of heart disease,- from which he had suffered for years. A difficulty occurred in Flat Creek Township, Lancaster County, on Satur day night, between two young white men, George Deas and Amos Hegler, at the house of the mother of Deas. Whis ky was the inspiring cause of the diffi culty. Hegler drew his knife and cut Deas in a number of places, inflicting dangerous wounds. The wounded man may recover, though he lies in a criti cal condition, j The divorced wife of ex-Senator Christiancy died in Brooklyn on Fri day from mental and physical prostra tion caused, to a great extent, by chloral. The Senator married her when She was a Treasury Department clerk, causing her to be the envy of half the' young women of the country. They subse quently sued each other for divorce, unfaithfulness and cruelty being char ged on both sides. Now she is dead at the age of 24. Harrison Ramon, of Akron, Ohio, died recently leaving over S2?0fJ00 in cash concealed about his premises in places-known to no one. - His widow after a long and fruitless search resort ed to prayer, and after praying 24 hours went to the bee hives in the yard and found over $100,000 h idden under them. A young man tore up a plank in the barn to recover a dropped hatchet the same evening and found the rest of the money. John Arnold, a young man aged twenty-two, was stricken with paraly sis at his home, near Millersburg, Ohio, on Sunday, and died two hours later. Only one week ago Miss Mary Lemon, to whom Mr. Arnold was engaged to be married, was stricken with paralysis, and lived long enough to have Mr. Ar nold place upon her finger the wedding ring, and she said to him: "I will take that with me to my grave and you will follow me soon." Her words were ver ified in less than one week after she died. The affair has cast a gloom over the entire community. ? The popular notion of Texas is that of a State where most men die with their boots on, and that where there are more people under the ground than on it. Yet at only one session of the Re corder's Court in Fort Worth, Texas, recently, two men were fined $25 each for selling liquor on Sunday; three were fined $5 each for being drunk; two $5 for assault and battery; two $5 for dis turbing the peace; three $5 for cursing; one $5 for gambling, one $30 for carry ing a pistol; and only one man, who was accused of gambling, was acquit ted Miss Sarah Belle AValler, wife of Mr. Henry Waller, of Chicago, died in that city on Thursday last. Mrs. Waller was of the well known Langhorne fam ily, of Virginia, and had been a resident of Chicago since 1858, and had been one of the leading members of that brilliant and elegant set of people from all over the South who have made Chicago their home. During the war she was espe cially useful and successful in acts of thoughtfulness and liberality and sym pathy for the soldiers of the* lost cause whom the fortunes of war cast into prison at Camp Douglass, near Chicago. The Greenville Neuis records the fol lowing case of cruelty on the part of a worthless husband that the law officers should look after: "Parties who were in this city yesterday state that recent ly, in Oak Lawn Township, a man be came intimate with a white woman and moved her to his place, near his residence. This woman, it is said, at tempted to enter the man's residence and his wife refused her admission; This enraged him and he beat his wile shamefully, ejecting her with his six children from the house. She wandered about seeking shelter and finally went to the house of a neighbor where she now is. The Canadians are learning Ameri can customs. At Kingston, Ont., on Friday, at a bazaar held in St. Paul's Church, a voting took place as to which was the most popular man, Dr. Sulli van, conservative, or Mr. Harty, liberal. The political friends of both parties as sembled in force. At the close of the poll it was shown that Harty was ahead, and the excitement became intense. The crowd rushed upon the platform, which collapsed with their weight. Dreadful confusion ensued and several ladies fainted. Dr. Sullivan's friends seized and stuffed the ballot box during the confusion, and, claiming their can didate had received a majority of the votes east, presented him with the prize, consisting of an easy chair. Unity's lawyers have written to the ministers of the church threatening suit unless tho. prize be given to Harty. Mr. John Crow was married to a Miss Hopkins, at Bowman's Ridge, Marshall County, W. Va., Thursday evening last, and alter the wedding," the younger residents of the vicinity, as is custom ary in the rural districts, gathered to serenade the newly married couple. Not being able to "make noise enough to satisfy them with the usual instru ments of torture in vogue on such oc casions, the young men of that section of Marshall County have lately intro duced fire-arms to add to the din". A sad lesson was learned at the serenade re ferred to above. Shannon Wellman, a young son of James Wellman, a highly respected resident of the vicinity, was armed with an old musket, which he loaded very heavily. Afraid it might burst with the discharge, he held it at arms length, and it recoiled with such force as to crush the young man's skull badly.
