LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. To Arrive Wednesday.?Mr. B. Frank Slater requests us .to state that he will receive on Wednesday next twenty-one head of fine Horses and Mules, to which he invites the atten tion of the trade._ No Court.?As there was some question as to the legality of the juries drawn to serve at the January term of Court, Judge Wallace decided that there should be no Court held at this time, but that he would hold an extra term of Court the latter part of this .month. Parties interested in this mat ter had better consult our advertising columns where they will find a notice calling the extra court._ An invention is now being perfested by which reilroad trains can take on and let off passengers without making any stop. A passenger wishing to stop at the next station has only to walk into the rear car, while passengers wish ing to board the train at a station get into a car before the train arrives, which car, by an automatic arrange meut, is taken up and becomes a part of the moving train._ Gone to Lake City.?Mr. L. W. Hydrick, who has been merchandizing in our town for tne past year, has re moved with his family to Lake City, S. C, where he will still continue in the mercantile business. Mr. Hydrick has many warm friends here who regretted to see him leave and we feel that we cannot wish him too much success in his new home. He is an accession that Lake City may be proud of. House Burned.?Last Thursday the house of Mrs. Delily Williams, of Goodland Township, was burned to the ground, together with all of its con tents. Mrs. Williams, who is in needy circumstances, lost everything, not sav ing even her wearing apparel or cook ing utensils, and is a good object for the charity of those who are blessed with an abundance of this world's goods. The fire was accidental. The News and Courier speaking of the improvement in Our paper says: Tue Orangeburg Times and "Demo crat begins the new year in enlarged and improved form. It is' now an eight-page paper, neatly folded and cut. It has also secured a new press and type. It presents a strikingly neat and attractive appearance. The people of Orangeburg have a newspaper fully alive to their wants and worthy of a liberal patronage." Assigned?Mr. C. P. Branson, one of our most enterprising grocerymeu, made an assignment last Friday for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Branson ?was doing a good business, but he let the go?dness of his heart get the better of him, which caused him to credit too indiscriminately. Ho has the sympathy of a host of friends in his reverse, who hope that he may be enabled to reestab lish himself in business at an early day. Mr. C. D. Kortjohn is the assignee. Tue Cold Wave.?The cold wave struck this locality last Friday and has been with us ever since. Wo* have in terviewed several old gentlemen from different parts of the county and they all agree that the weather for the past few days has been the coldest they ever experienced. For several days the ice eid not melt on our streets," notwith standing the sun was clear and bright. .Those people who have had so much to say about the mild winter can now take a back seat. How it Is.?And now is the time that the commercial fertilizer business begins. The cotton seed oil mills will now sell to the farmer a ton of cotton seed meal for double the price the far mer received for his cotton seed. The mill man has already reaped an im mense profit from the oil extracted from the seed, and he further wants double pay for the refuse, which the farmer in many cases is foolish en ough to pay. Poverty awaits close by for such individuals, and is very apt to catch them before many years pas3. Important to Taxpayers.?Tax payers should bear in mind that in the assessment now being made by the County Auditor, property of every de scription, real and personal; will be assessed. They should make out their lists of property, with true valuation attached, before going to the assess ment. In so doing lands should be classed as follows: First, arable or cleared land; second, woodland; third, unprofitable swamps. The names oi owners of surrounding contiguous lands should also be given. As the assessment will necessarily be more tedious than ordinarily, so the course above ihdicated will greatly expedite t he work of the assessor. Remember that all males between the ages, of 21 and 60 years are subject to poll tax. The Blizzard in Columbia.?The Columbia Kegister, of last Sunday says: "Everything which could freeze has been t'ro/.en stiff since Friday night, and the category includes almost every thing outside of a red hot stove. Effgs could be eaten hard without boiling, butchers meat-had to be cut with a saw, game and fish must needs be ut most boiled before the hide and feath ers anil scales could be removed; water refused to How unless driven from a boiler in the.form of steam, the ground is everywhere like granite, and the mercury is in dnnger of running out of the bottom of the thermometer. Such a state of frigidity has not-been known in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, and unless relief conies soon, emigra tion will be advisable to the genial cli mate of Alaska A Xew Law.?We would call the at tention of our readers to the following law which was passed at the late ses sion of the Legislature: "That the owner or keeper of any gate which ob structs a highway, either public or pri vate, shall have such gate constructed so a^> to afford a road way between the posts of at least nine feet, and shall keep the ?aid gate in such repair and condition as to be easily opened and shut, aud that tho latch or other fasten ing will adjust itself on being closed; and. .further, that the said keeper shall erect or caused to be erected at conven ient distance from such gate, on each side, a suitable hitching post for the convenience of those traveling in vehicles. That the owner or keeper of such gate who shall fail to comply with the requirements of this Act "shall, upon conviction, for each offense pay a due of not less than twenty-live dollars, or be imprisoned in the County Jail for a term not exceeding thirty days. OUR BREVITY BASKET. \ Filled With Brief Mention of .tinny Minor Events of the Week. f The prisoners in jail must have had a cool time of it for the past few days. Mr. A. S. Dukes has been elected a Warden of Brauch ville to fill a vacancy. The churches were very slimly at tended last Sunday on account of the cold. Gilbert Hollow is henceforth to be known as Lewiedale, by Act of the; Legislature. The thermofherter went down to eight degrees above zero last Monday nigbt at this point. We may now look for an early spring. The backbone of winter is broken, at least we hope so. It is a cold day when chickens freeze to death, but the like happened in our town during the past week. A large glass globe was broken in Dr. J. G. Wannamaker's show window last Sunday night by the cold. The only way for our farmers to make cotton at the present prices is to make their fertilizers at home. Considerable snow has fallen in the upper part of the State during the past week. We are glad we missed it. The largest number of failures re corded for a year occurred this week in the United States, 316, while Canada had 20. On account of the dullness of trade fourteen clerk? were discharged from employment in Blackvill on New Year's day. Gabriel Maybank, Jacob Gibbesand Hagar Grate, colored, were drowned near Georgetown last week by the up setting of a boat. The EutawviUe Railroad is now open for business as far as Holly HiU. This is a great convenience to the people living in that section. What becomes of the tramps duriug such weather as we have just passed through is a question we have often heard asked. Can any one answer it. The latest concerning the Vander bilt estate is that it is worth more than was at first estimated. It will go near er S100,000,000 than S200,000,000, it is said. The past week has been splendid hog killing weather, and we have no doubt but that many of our farmers em braced the opportunity to "save their bacon." . The ram that supplies Mr. Cornel son's factory with water was frozen up several days, and in consequence the factory had to cease operations for the time being. The Marion Star comes to us this week in a new dress and very much en larged and improved. The Star was a good paper before, but now it is par excellence. Compliments have poured in on us from every side on the improved ap pearance of The Times and Demo crat. This is encouraging friends, ami spurs us on to greater activity. The people of Orangeburg County, intellegent, liberal .and progressive de mand, and are entitled to a first-class newspaper, and it is our modest ambi tion to give them what they so justly deserve. Joel Aikes and Bill Simmons, colored, had a disagreement in Walterboro last week, when Aikes declared he "could whip a cowpen full of jast such boys and mind the gap," and then Simmons cut the boaster severely with a knife. The State mission board of the Bap tist Church has appointed for this year forty missionaries whose labors will ex tend into twenty-four counties. It is proposed to expend about 59,000 in State missionary work during the year. The Anderson Journal comes out in a new dress and has been completely renovated. It has been enlarged and is now printed all at home. We congratu late Brother Todd on his prosperity, and wish him still greater success in the future. The women of Walton county, Ga., have made a forcible example of prac ticable prohibition by burning up and hacking to pieces an illicit still which their sons had been frequenting. The crusade against contraband liquor has taken a remarkable turn, led by female regulators. A new sect has sprung up in Ply mouth City, Wis. Its revivals having been unsuccessful, its members con cluded that they had not obtained sat isfaction, and thirty of them have be gun fasting, to continue until they do get it. Thomas Green, the leader, claims to have eaten nothing in six teen days. The Enoch Pratt free library at Bal timore was formally opened" to the public on Monday. It is the gift to the city of Enoch Pratt, a millionaire mer chant who is vet living, and cost him $833,333.33. Iiis certified chuck for that sum was sent to the mayor July 2d, 1883 and the American prints a fac simile of it. In the cattle convention to be held this month at Denver, Colorado, the basis of representation requires that a member must .own 50,000 head of cattle to secure a seat. This occasions great dissatisfaction mnong the cattle men with limited constituencies who are thus deprived of a voice in the proceed ings and are left out in the cold. Judge James A. Anderson, recorder of the city of Atlanta, had a fight in the streets of that city on Wednesday with Alexander Mattison, a revenue ganger who had called him "a cowardly whelp" during the recent prohibition fight. An umbrella and a rolling-pin were used, but little damage was done. The police arrested the combatants. The sensation in Summerville last week was the detection, llight, pursuit and capture of a combination express and postofiice robber who answers to the name of Bill Davis, lie is not a pleasant looking rogue, and has been practicing for the past month a villain ous game, the result of which is that I he is now locked up in the Summer ville bastile. When we came to Orangeburg seven years ago there were two papers pub lished here, both of which combined did not contain as much reading mat ter as The Times and Demockat of to-day. To get both of those papers then would have cost 64.00, but it will cost only 81.50 now to get a paper with more reading matter than both of the old papers combined contained. That is the Kind of a monopoly that the public wiU sustain. A RAILROAD JUBILEE.' The Opening; of tho Eutairvillo Road Cel ebratcd at HoUy Hill. The News and Courier of last Friday contained a long account of the cele bration at Holly Hill in honor of the completion of the Eutawville Railroad to that point. The account of the af fair as we find it in the News and Cou rier is as follows: The excursion to Holly Hill from Charleston which was given yesterday by Mr. R. C. Barkley, the president of the Eutawville Railroad, was one of the most enjoyable affairs that has taken place this season. The motive of the excursion was the completion of the Eutawville Road to Holly Hill, its present terminus, to which point, the rails had been laid a day or two ago. In view of the fact that the people in the vicinity of Holly Hill and through out the section along the line of the new road have exhibited much enthu siasm over the progress of this pioneer line, Mr. Barkley had determined to get up a celebration at Holly Hill which would be an event in railroad history. He therefore made all the arrangements early in the week and issued a number of invitations to the friends of the road to meet the people of the Holly Hill section at that place yesterday morning. A party of about thirty gentlemen, among whom were Col. S. B. Bickens, Mr. EugeDe P. Jervej, Col. J. W. Perry, Alderman E. H. Gaosden, Mr. Bernard Boyd and others, left the city in a spe cial passenger coach attached to the outgoing Augusta train. At Forty One, the junction of the South Carolina and Eutawville Railways; an engine awaited the coming of the excursion ists, who were transferred to the latter road and after a pleasant trip through a rich and fertile country arrived at 10.30 A. M., at Holly Hill. A com modious depot has already been erected at this place and bears evidence of the advantage which the people of the sur rounding country are taking of their railroad facilities. The freight plat form was covered with cotton bales, rosin barrels, turpentine casks and oth er produce awaiting shipment to Char-* leston. At the time of the arrival of the special car at the terminus the people had begun to come into town. The delegation from Charleston was accord ed a characteristic welcome by the good people of Berkeley. Later on in the day the crowd had increased to a very large number, which has been estimated at about one thousand. The ladies turned out to grace the occasion, and each one came provided with the "bas ket" on which so much of the perfect enjoyment of the occasion depended. The day was spent afcer the most ap proved fashion, and at 1 o'clock a sec ond excursion was gotten up for the benefit of those of the crowd present who desired to make a trip over the road to Forty-One. On the return of these excursionists to Holly Hill there was the usual picnic dinner, to which full justice was done by the mass meet ing, which it was to all intents and purposes. ? After dinner the crowd was organ ized as in committee of the whole, and Capt. C. 3t. G. Sinkler was called to the chair. He addressed the meeting at some length, dwelling with much force on the advantages that would accrue to the people of this section of the county from the completion of the road. He complimented in eloquent language the spirit which had prompted the en terprise, and on behalf of the citizens of the place and the county, for whom he felt sure he could speak on so im portant an occasion, he extended to the officers of the new road and the visitors from Charleston a most cordial and hearty welcome. These words of greeting brought out President Barkley, who acknowledged the chairman's welcome in appropriate terms. He could not, he said, but feel encouraged by so signal a recognition by the people of the county in general of their new transportation facilities. He felt indeed proud that he was in any degree instrumental In offering to such a splendid agricultural district the means of developing their resources and of bringing them into direct and easy communication with the best markets of tho State. Thus far the prospects of the road were bright, and there was perhaps nothing that would more certainly assure its future success than the kindly manner in which the enterprise from the very outset had been endorsed by those who were most closely connected with the . ad vantages it would necessarily bring. Ho could not, he said in conclusion, appropriate exclusively to himself the compliment ary language of the chairman, and thanked him. in the name of all those connected with the undertaking for his generous and eloquent reception. At the close of President Barkley'? remarks loud calls were made for Col. S. B. Pickens, who was forced to take the stand and say something on "this most auspicious occasion." lie responded in a short and appropriate address, which was handsomely re ceived. After the speech of Col. Pickens Mr. Eugene P. Jervey,' representing the railroad commission, Yvho'mspeeted the new road yesterday, was called upon and delivered an address appropriate to the occasion. . V : Col. Jennings W. Perry, the next speaker, responded to a call and mado a brief and happy speech. On closing his remarks he offered a series of reso lutions ;.n commendation of the energy and perseverance of Mr. Barkley in pursuing the enterprise to- so success ful a degree, and for opening up so rich and fertile a section of the country. The resolutions also returned the thanks of the officers of the new road to the South Carolina Railway Com pany for its assistance in the work and for the courtesies of that company to the visitors on this occasion. This speech and the resolutions con cluded the literary programme of the day. Tho party left Holly Hill at 4.50 o'clock, reaching Forty-One at 5.20 P. M. From that place the run was made to Charleston, a distance of forty-one miles, in fifty minutes by engine No. 55, in charge Of Engineer Zacn Gober. The conductor of the special train from Forty-One to Charleston was Mr. An tonio Salvo. The whole affair was well conceiACtl, thoroughly enjoyed and marks a bright day for the Eutawville Road and the people of Berkeley Coun ty. Robert Ford and Wm. Ramsey, col ored, had a difficulty in Colleton last week when the former was fatally stab bed in the neek. Our press is about frozen up. On Saturday night last Mr. Greenleaf, accompanied by his wife, was return ing from Clayton. It was about nine o'clock, and, as is the custom they both walked up one of the hills, while the mules and wagon ascended, their little boy being the driver. Suddenly a rustle was herd in the bushes, and peering out in the bushes, could be seen what looked like two balls of fire. As if by instinct, Greenleaf opened his knife, and as the beast sprang at him he made a lunge, only to drive the knife into his wife's arm, she having thrown herself upon him at the sight of danger. He dropped the knife nerve less, and fell under the. spring of the panther, the beast being now madden ed by the smell of blood. Just as the animal was about to insert its teeth into Mr. Greenleaf, the wife who had picked up the knife and, acting under the inspiration of desperation, took a clean cut at the beast's throat. The panther gave one painful cry and rolled over. The cry alarmed the hunters at Bleeley's house, near by, and almost in stantly a number of them were on the spot, only to find that a woman had accomplished what they had been six weeks trying to do. They helped to lift the dead animal into Greenleafs wagon, who carried it home, where he skinned it The hide he intends to use as a coverlet for his babies, in order, he says, to impart to them their mothers courage,?Constitution. The Senate Two Years Hence. Democratic arithmeticians are figur ing on the probability of their winning United States senatorships in Indiana and New York. They count with some positiveness upon electing a successor to Senator Benj. Harrison oy reason of the Democratic strength in Indiana, but in New York their reliance is largely upon the chance that fights be tween Republican factions will give them a majority in the legislature. Ex Senator Piatt is waging a bitter fight for control of the legislature elected last fall, part of the membership of which votes for Senator, his object be ing to. defeat Senator Miller's re-elec tion and if possible to restore himself to the position he, along with Conkling, vacated in 1881. New York politicians generally of opinion, it is said, that Platt will at least succeed in prevent ing Miller's re-election. Not a few He publicans fear that contests in Republi can districts in the autumn elections of assemblymen will give the Democrats votes enough on joint ballot to elect a United States Senator. As there is a fighting chance for a Senator in Con necticut, New Jersey, California and Michigan, sanguine Democrats do not abandon hope that Mr. Cleveland will yet bofore the expiration of his term have the pleasure of getting his' nomi nations confirmed by a Democratic Senate. A Boy's Timely Bravery. A desperate attempt to burn down the town of Tarentum, Pa., was made on Monday morning. The viUians had taken every precaution to make the destruction sure. They had cut the ropes of the two alarm bells, broken the principal pumps in the village, and carried off the fire buckets ar.d tubs. The cries of fire aroused a lad named Williern Dibbell, an employee of a large planing mill, upon which was a bell, ne ran to the mill, and upon finding the bell rope cut, climbed to the roof and sounded the alarm by striking' the bell with the hammer. This awakened the entire community, who turned out en masse and soon ex tinguished the dames. About two weeks ago there was an attempt made to burn the village. Full of a TVall In Mobile. Mobile, January 10.?This afternoon while a crowd of boys and negroes were searching the ruins of the burned block s wall thirty feet high fell, bury ing six persons. Howard Hall, twelve years old, was taken out dead; Wyatt Hall, nine years old, a brother of How ard, had his skull injured and his hips broken and is dangerously hurt. Both boys are sons of Howard Hall, super intendent of the Seaboard Manufactur ing Company's establishment. John L. Strill, a newsboy, thirteen years of age, was badly hurt. Willie Coving ton, twelve years old, was injured, but not seriously. John Glass, aged four teen, was slightly hurt. A, colored man buried to the hips, but escaped with a few bruises. Died from a Man's Bite. Roland C. Faust, aged thirty-six years, one of the most muscular|men in Akron, Ohio, died on Tuesday, from the effects of blood poisoning. On Christmas eve Faust, who was a saloon keeper, got into a fight with a stanger, in which the latter was badly cut up. Faust's only wound was a scratch on the knuckle of the index finger on the right hand. A few days later his arm began to sweh and sooii attained twice its natural size. The swelling and in flammation increased until Faust died. It is supposed that the slight wound which he had received by cutting his knuckle on a tooth of the stranger with whom he i'ouglitled to his death?blood poisoning arising from the wound. Clu iistiuns MasHUcrcd in Annum. PAULS, January 7.?General De (,'our cey, commander of .the French forces in Tonquin, telegraphs as follows; "During the latter part of December the rebels destroyed-the Catholic Mis sion House at Ugheun, Annum, and killed a French missionary, and five hundred native Christians. A column of French troops; was sent in pursuit of the rebels. It overtook and-routed them and captured their arms ami am munition. - ;. ? The Divorce MiUin Atlanta. The number of divorce cases on the docket at Atlanta causes the Constitu tion to designate Atlanta "the Chicago of the South." On Thursday the Su preme Court granted nine absolute di vorces and there are yet a dozen cases to be heard. The grounds upon which these divoces were granted were adultery desertion, broilings and the failure of. the husband to support the wife.
