LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THANE You.?The Johnston Monitor says: "The Orangebtirg times and DEMOCRAT is she only "cut and pasted" eight page county paper in the State. But the T. and D. was good enoxigh 'on the quarter shell.'" Thank you, Brother Mac, but don't you think the present style has much improved the paper. Agricultural Societ y.-The meet ing of the Agricultural Society next Saturday will be a right important one. Mr. Tiliman's project of a College of Farming will be discussed. Every member of the Society is earnestly re quested to be present, and take part in the discussion, so as their views on this important topic may be known. Rev: D. M. Mercs.?The Rev. D. M. Minus, who has been the pastor.cf the colored Methodist Church in" town tor the past three years, has been ap pointed to Orange Circuit, having served this church for the full limit al lowed by the discipline.. He is a good, faithful man, and we commend him to the kind consideration of all with whom he comes in contact. Tobacco Culture. ?A despatch from Columbia says the farmers of South Carolina are in earnest about the tobacco experiments. The Department of Agriculture has distributed several hundred packages of seed, and applica tions for them are-received everyday. The crop will be very thoroughly tested this year, and we hope i$ will prove a success. Quite a number of Orange burg farmers are trying it on a small ? scale. - :Tr- , . .. 1: 'Death of Hugh B. Kxdx.?This' old citizen died at his home in the Fork' several weeks ago,-after a long and painful'illness. Sometime ago he was walking along a road near his place, when he met a large boar in the road, and on attempting to drive the animal out of the road, he was attacked by it and seriously cut in the side and back. From this he. never recovered, but grad . ually grew weaker until he died. He \vas about eighty years old. The Oat CROP.?A correspondent from Fort Motte. S. C, writes as fol lows:-'We have TU'bh quite busy in this section resowing oats that were killed by the severe cold some time ago. The loss has been almost total?consider ably worse than was thought at first. Farming operations are somewhat backward;- owing to the ?unseasonable weather; but prospects have brightened during the past week, the weather put ting on quite a spring appearance. { Hot Wati:u.?It instated that a well known society woman of Baltimore, who preserves her beauty and fresh ness remarkably weli, despite her many seasons pursuit of excitement in the social whirls attributes her good for tune to the practice of drinking a small cup of lukewarm water every day on leaving her couch.

The Bijou Company rendered this pro duction in the happiest style imagina ble, and the scenfc effect was exceed ingly fine. The general applause of the audience showed the very keen appre ciation of the full hall who witnessed the play._ Pay the Preacher.?Rememljer that your preacher can't give a lien for supplies, lie will need a little money and that very early in the year. Sup pose you pay him* in monthly instal ments.' Try this plan. Or if*you will pay him half the amount of your assessment now, and the balauce in the fall, it will be better both for him and you. . By all means pay your preacher. If yon have none of your own, pay some other man's preacher. Don't dead head yourself along to the better world. The Tobcco Experiment.?We clip the following from the Columbia lie cord : "The Commissioner of Agricul ture is sending out thermometers and blanks for reporting the condition of the weather to the farmers who have I been appointed to make the tobacco ex periment in the various counties. Far mers who. desire to compete for the S100 premium offered by the Depart ment to the farmer reporting the best results in tobacco culture are requested to write the Commissioner for.Instruc tion." ' ?-_' Death of an Aged Lady.?Mrs. Ann F. Phillips, one of the oldest ladies of our county, died at the residence |Of her son, Mr. W. F Phillips, in the Fork, on Saturday, the tJth instant. She was in her ninety-third year, and up to a'B?ut three weeks of her death was very active,-. She had been a-member of the Methodist church for over seventy five years, and has now gone to receive the reward of her Christian life bn earth. Om? by one these old connecting links of the past are removed, and with them ond a'grand. race of people. AliqCT Covrtino.?Sonic one has estimated that the time thrbwn'hway in this woi'ld in courting the girl you want to marry. _:uul who is ready to marry you, would build ;.U the rail roads, and bridgcs4and tunnels and fac tories and public buildings. Well, what if it would? Is not the fun of courting a girl worth moro.thau build ing: railroads, bridges. tiumcLs. factories and other buildings? Were it not for courting we wouldn't have any enter prises worth talking about, it is court ing does the business. "Some one' has made a miscalculation in his estimate. A Sad Death.?One ol the .saddest deaths that has evu" occurred in our town was that of Mr. F. W. I'ithan. a son ?f Mr. V. L'ithah. Young I'ithan. who had just about completed- his ma jority, was boarding with and reading medicine under Dr. A. S. Ilydriek, and it was at the residence of this gentle man he breathed his last on Sunday morning, the 14th instant. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and was one of the most promising young men of our acquaintance. It does* scon so strange that one so young and so full of promise should be taken, while the worthless are allowed to remain. But God, who never .errs, fcnowcth best, and into his hands we*-omni it the soul of our departed young friend, while over his newly made grave we drop the tear of sincere grief, ile was a univer sal favorite with all who knew him. OUR BREVITY BASKET. Filiert Wltli Brief Mention of Many Minor Events of tho "Week. Quite a number of valentines have been scattered around during the past week. Ex-Sheriff John II. .Livingston, of this countv, is now a land agent at Ocola, Fla.' Several of our farmers contemplate experimenting with ;v small crop of to bacco this year. CoL A.D. Frederick offers some val uable real estate for sale. See his ad vertisement in another column. The Post Master reports a pair of shoes left in his office which the owner can have by calling for and proving property. A young lady should not allow her head to be turned by (lattery, but if a new bonnet passes her on the street she may turn it just a little. Dr. AvS. Salley has been con-lined to the- house-from' a- severe cough for several days. We hope soon to see his genial face on the street again. Mr. W. F. Phillips, of the Fork, on a fourth of an acre of land made cane enough to yield him 133*2 gallons of. fine syrup. This beats cotton. Learned men tell us that in Latin the word editor means "to eat." In South Carolina dialect it means to scratch around like blazes to get something to eat. """ "* Mr. W. F. Robinson, who left us about two weeks ago to make his home in Florida, is now at Ocala. We hope our young friend will do well in his new home. ? V r,, .""^ *. An exchange says: "It is said that people talk less in February than in any month in the year. Why is this V" Because it is the'shortest. Give us a hard one. Emlyn, editor of the Columbia Re cord, is a married man. Hear what he says: "Tight lacing is as fatal as rum, but neither high license or prohibition can reach it." Rev. Wilson Ashley, of Abbeville, has in his'career married six hundred- and sixty couples. We shudder when we think of th&troublc that this good man has caused in this world. An Edgefield- brother says: "The 'Moses' who will do most to lead the farmers out of the wilderness is he who will do the most to lead them from the cotton to the corn field." ?If ice is not cheap the coming sum mer, it won't he the fault of the signal service man. He has certainly spread zero over as wide an extent of this con tinent as could have been expected. There is a letter in the postoflice ad dressed to the "Handsomest-Young Man in Orangeburg." Who is he? If it had been to the handsomest young lady we could name her without any trouble.; . Wo were mistaken in the statement that Mr. E. L. Arthur ran for the Legis lature on the Greenback ticket in 1883. While Mr. Arthur was an active Green backer he did not stand for the Legisla ture. An exchange says it is a good time now to trim your grape vines and fruit trees. Also, draw the top dirt from around the peach trees and scrape out the worms and borers that can be easily seen now; .- '.? ~ It has been said that ladies have gen erally great fear of lightning, and this has been superficially ascribed to their natural timidity; but the truth is that it arises from their consciousness of being attractive. A Chicago girl fell out of a third story window and killed a dog which her brother had fired at four times with a Flobert rifle and failed to hit. If a Chicago girl comes down feet first from' anywhere, she can hit almost anything. The Camden ?Tournai says the priority clause in the lien law does not seem to effect the lien business much in that section. In many cases the landlord has assigned away his prior claim for rent, and thus the tenant finds but lit tle difficulty in securing advances. The odor of the morning bneezfi in dicates that the guano season is upon us again. The man who said last sum mer thatguano didn't pay will soon be seen wending his way homeward with about ten sacks, the last he ever ex pects to use?until the next season. Eighteen tramps?five of them ne groes?were arrested in an old building in the suburbs of Charleston and sent to jail on the charge of vagrancy. The great increase of crime in the city renders such proceedings neces-sary, be sides, we know of no better way of dis posing of the gentry. Society is never wholly idle. Busi ness may be dull; war. pestilence and famine may sweep this country and dynamite the old countries, but' there will continue to be marrying and giv ing in marriage, fiddling, fifing, danc ing, eating, skating, excurting, and be ing merry in dozens of different ways. The Churchman, the organ of the Protestant Episcopal church .in -the United States, denounces the costumes of .the.modern society belles. It pro nounces the decolett'o style of attire "insolent indecency." This assault on the costumes"?f tho feminine world of fashion is not aimed at any one section, and can manifestly bo applied to all. Die Lewis says an fcJngli.shman.-with out observing the laws of exercise or sleep, will digest an.enprmous,dinner and preserve his stomach because of his two hours' chat and good-fellow ship afterwards. An American often bolts his f'.iod in a lew minutes, rushes to his office and works like a dray horsp. The patent medicine man marks him for n golden victim.

Convention or Primary? East Woodland Swamp, ) OBAKG ebukg, S. C;,Feb, 8,1886. J Editors Times and Democrat: I see by your last week's issue that you are ready to open the campaign of 1886 in your columns, to see who is the strongest in the county, the primary election or the convention faction. 1 think it very good in you to thus open the subject so early, as by the time it comes for action the question can be worked down to so fine a point that each man, woman and child (that reads your valuable paper) will know which side of the fence they stand on. For if the primary plan prevails it is necessary that they all should understand the question thoroughly, as all take a hand in primaries. To take the primary at a glance, it looks like the convention could not stand a minute in its way. But what does primaries mean to the bread win ners of the county ? To be bored by theslick-tongued candidates from June to November, and by some that do not even recognize the sanctity of the in valid's hearthstone, and by none the srincity of the Sabbath or church. I have seen a dozen red-hot candidates at church on the Sabbath at one time (in our adjoining counties), and when one went hdmef rom chmrch could not know whether theyhad been to ctnrrch or to a mass meeting." This is not only de moralizing to the young, but leads the old astray, . ? " '? I-have known these slick-tongued candidates to stop'the "plowman and talk to him half a.day in, the broiling hot when at borne, and when ^not a candidate would not' ask .nim in out of a shower of:rain\' much-less pass the bottle around when he/_was dry.' Yours,*-.. S. J'roin the Old S?rth State. About four years ago I had what the [doctors called catarrh, being brought on by exposure to cold weather. They saitl it was incurable. I left "Wilming ton and went to Goldsbbro, X. C, and while there an eating sore came on my I nose. The-doctor whom I consulted called it cancer. I was under treatment of some six or seven physicians, some of them specialists in this line in Wil mington, Goldsboro.Smithfield.-Raleigh and Magnolia, X. but I continued to grow worse-alt the time. T was in a. deplorable condition;.my nose eaten off, and a hole in my cheek near my eye.. Depressed and disheartened, I .returned to Wilmington, I thought, to die. One morning while reading the Daily Star of this city my eye caught the sentence, "I was cured of cancer by S? S. S." This gave me hope, and I'sent at once to the. drug store and procured a bottle. I began to feel better from the start,'] and by the time I had taken three bot tle's the cancer began to heal, and now I my nose,is well, and has bpeft.fbr two years, and I attend .to..business every! day.- I am troubled a little sometimes with catarrhT otherwise my health is good.

It has been said that fireworks, the time-honored means by which the fore fathers were accustomed to work off their superfluous enthusiasm for the sacred and undying cause of liberty, fra ternity, and equality, were falhng al most entirely into disuse. To ascertain the truth of this statement a reporter saw the representative of a large fire works manufacturing company the other day. "There are more fireworks used in the United States now," said the man of red lights and roman candles, "than ever be fore. As a manufacturing industry it is just fairly under way here. It is only a few years since we ceased to be entirely dependent upon England, France, China, and Japan for our pyrotechnic amuse; ments, but in those few years wo have made wonderful progress in the business. "Many .people think that the pyrotech nic art is one peculiar to the Mongolian race. It was for centuries, but we have taken it in this country and developed it, so. that to-day we excel any other na tion on the face of the earth in the kind and the amount of this work produced. JWe send goods from here to all parts of the globe.: Many labor under the im pression that the miserable, treacherous little things yon call firecrackers, the . explosion of which has been wisely prohibited in all really .civilized cities, are all that is com prehended by the term fireworks. There is no doubt that these are going out of popular favor, and the sooner they do the better, but they are a very small part of real pyrotechnics, such as is seen ex hibited at Manhattan and Brighton beaches and a thousand other places dur ing the summer." -..-"Axe firecrackers manufactured with any degree of success in this country ?" "We can not begin to compete with the Chinese in making them. We can produce just as good work, but it costs five times as much owing to the low wages paid, in that benighted country. The Japanese make very fine day fire works, but wo are producing, them on a different and better principle. The Jap anese, as you know, roll the paper itgure in a bomb, which is exploded in the air, and the paper descends to the earth like a parachute, affording but a few min utes in which to view it. We .employ' ?the hotvair balloon principle, and by ibis means the objects are seen better and for a longi-r period." "la not the manufacture of fireworks still considered a "dangerous employ ment?" - "Not necessarily. The recent discov eries in chemistry have done much to lessen the risk- of accidents. ^Formerly red light could only be produced by one substance, and this was one that required great cafe in handling .to avoid' explo sions. But now there are six or'seven articles .that will produce a brilliant crim 6on flanie, and none of these is danger ous to use. The mis!laps that now occur in the fireworks factories are few and generally due-to inexcusable carelessne&j on the part of employes."?New York ?Tribune. - - Quaint Old Revolutionary Documents. ' " One of the most interesting libraries in Washington is that connected with the state department. I spent nearly half a day there poring over the quaint old rev olutionary documents, foreign treaties, etc. There in a double locked case is kept the original constitution of the country. It was shown me by Mr. Dwight, imt I noticed he kept his eye on me very closely, as If afraid I would snap off a'yard or two with a pair of scissors. There, too,- are all the proclamations from every president, the state papers of overy secretary, and the Ben-Franklin docu ments recently purchased in London for $85*000. The Declaration of Independ emce, with its fading-ink and world re nowned signatures, ia here jealously pre served. ' . , . One of the most unique papers is the oath of allegiance taken at Valley Forge. It ia signed by George Washington, Ben edict Arnold, DeKalbe Steuben, Lafay ette, and every soldier in the army. There, too, is the " pathetic letter from Andre to Washington begging that his ; might bo a soldier's, not a spy's death. The fo?eign treaties are curious, espe cially those of Turkey, Japan, and Cluna, with their gold writing and huge seals.

I draw it out, as you see, ami letting go of it seems to go back to exactly the same place and shape that it was in before. But it is not the same. It never can be the same again. If I keep drawing out the rubber and letting it go, it will finally lose its elasticity entirely. Its life is then extinct. So with a gun. Tht first tune it is fired it seems to go back to exactly the .same condition, in fact, it does not seem to have been drawn out at all. But it has been. No one who thinks can suppose that the terrible force of exploding 100 or 200 pounds of powdoi and forcing a 100-pound ball along the rilled creases of a gun does not strain it There is one advantage in the new stei'l guns, however.

WINTER SIGHTS ON THE NEVA. The Samoied.i from the Icy Zone?ThM Swift-Footed Siberian llelitdeer. Every year, at the beginning of Jan nary, a number of Samoied families tribes inhabiting the shores of the Arctic ocean?make their appearance in St. Pe tersburg, bringing some thirty or forty reindeers and a dozen roughly-con structed sleighs. They erect a tent upon the banks of the frozen Neva, and near it corral their reindeers with a sim ple rope guard. Their object is to fur nish sleighing parties with the rare sport of riding after tho wing-footed Siberian deer. Their costume is well adapted to their home in the icy zone. Over a com mon shirt is worn a suit of reindeer akins. consisting of a baggy pair of pant aloons and a jacket, the hairy side of the skin being outside. The jacket, which reaches nearly to the knee, is buttoned up behind. The cap of deer skin is well wadded and ornamented with long fur ear-laps. The high and roughly-con structed boots, also of deer skin, reach to the knee, and have thick soles. The ef fect of this picturesque garb is destroyed by covering it wifrh a long, common cotton print gown, well well wadded and quilted, with sleeves so wide that no movement of tho arm is discernible. - . Their sleighs consist of a box, about three feet wide and seven long, resting upon pegs about three feet high, fitting into wooden runners, which turn up in front to the height of four or five feet and end in sharp points. A light stick serves as the whiffletree, which is fas tened to the nlnners. Reindeer skins cover the board seats, and reindeer skins cover the patronizing public. During the time not engaged the deer stand upon the ice, warm and panting, with their tongues hanging from their mouths, in dicating that even a St. Petersburg win ter is tropical to them. Their harness is also composed of the skins of the rein deer, and remind the spectator of a mule harness in old plantation days, with the exception that strips of hide take the place of cornstalks. No traces are used, but a strong strap attached to a ring in the collar and brought between the legs of tho deer is fastened to the whiffletree. A Russian agent is employed as inter preter, and standing at the side of the Arctic vehicle he invites the curious pub die to take a ride on the Neva, for a .small consideration-r-which is not so small after all. When a number of patrons are secured the sleigh is brought up, a Samoied seats himself on the right side, takes his long line in one hand, a willow rod on the other, and signifies Ids readiness to start. One such ride generally satisfies the . seeker after fun, as the slippery seats covered with the hairy skins are hard to retain under him, and he is in continual fear of slid ing off. The speed of these deer is good, but not so great as we have, been led to suppose, they being generally beaten by the little horses of Finland. Curiosity seekers are prohibited f.-om approaching too near the corralod deer, as a vicious animal i.s capable of inflicting grunt in jury upon the visitor with his long horns, tlie Sahioicds being held responsible by tin) police for any harm done to sight seers. The tent erected to accommodate their families has much the resemblance of an Indian hut of the American frontier, of the same shape, and covered with deer skins. The interior is made comfortable with felt and fur mats. The fire is al ways placed in the middle of these tents. From a high pole hangs a chain attached to a kettle in which provisions are cooked. During heavy storms the open ing at the top of the tent for the escape of the smoke must be closed, so that the femalo and juvenile portion of the col ony are not very prepossessing in out ward appearance, their gaudy dreas, brass chains, brass buttons, brass arm and ear rings notwithstanding. In the latter part of February they be take themselves back to their Arctic abodes, keeping only enough reindeer to transport them thither. The others are slaughtered, and the meat preserved for the homeward journey. As soon as killed, the women and children fall upon the bones, split them and voraciously suck the marrow from them while the animal is still warm. The brain is also eaten with great gusto. The eyes of the deer are then taken by the women and I buried, where it will not happen that a married woman or full-grown girl walks over them, as such an occurrence might bring great fatality to the whole Samoied tribe. The St. Petersburg curiosity-seek ers often buy whole new suits of these frigid zoners for purposes of masquerad ing, while their boots and shoos sell readily (jn account of their impervious ness to wet snow. Many of these Sam oieds who have thus exhibited them selves, and through tlieir reindeer sleigh ing ou the Neva, have accumulated small fortunes. Lock* of an Author'* Hair.
