LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Easter Picnic?The Annual Easter Picnic at Haydeu's Mill will be held this year on the 24th instant, and we hope "our friends who celebrate the occasion may have a pleasant day and lots of fun. If nothing happens we will try and be there. Thanks.?In mentioning our paper Bro. Kirkland. editor of the Christian Advocate, pays it this compliment: "Bro. Sims has the honor of publishing ? - the only cut and pasted eight-page . country paper in the State. His paper not only has size, it also has decided merit. Orangeburg county deserves a first-class paper, and it has it." M. L. Kinard.?In another column will be found a message from this Sopular and leading clothing house of olumbia?M. L. Kinard. No one who has patronized his house has ever re gretted it, and they always went back again when they wanted good cloth ing at low prices. He is offering bet ter bargains now than ever before. Sale of Lots at Elloeee.?As wiU be seen by the advertisement in another column, a public sale of lots will take place at Elloree next Satur day. As this point is to be the termi nus of the Eutawville Railroad it bids fair at no distant day to be a place of some note, and those who may buy these lets no doubt will make a good investment._ The Prodigal Son.?The Rev. T. AL Galphin preached the first of a sen es of three sermons on the above subject 4ast Sunday evening at the Baptist Church. The othef two will be preach ed Sunday night week and the follow ing Sunday night. These sermons are Ulustrated, and, as presented by Mr. Gal phin, are very interesting and convinc ing. All of our young men should hear them. Removal.?Mr. P. W. Cantwell has removed from his old stand to the store lately occupied by Mr. C. P. Brunson, where he will be pleased to see his friends and customers. Mr. Cantwell h?? met with marked success since he began business here a few months ago and in consequence he was compelled to enlarge his quarters. As Mr..Cant well is a firm believer in printer's ink and uses it, we are not surprised at his success. Our Story.?"We print this week the opening chapters of our new . serial story, "Slings and Arrows," which will be found to be very interesting. This story will run through about six num bers of the paper, and will be followed by another of equal merit. We intend to make this a feauture of TriE Times and Democrat, and we feel assured that our patrons will appreciate and sustain our effort to give them a first class county paper. An Old Veteran Gone.?Mr. D. P. Jamison, an old resident of the Pork, died last Monday in the 80th year of his age. He was a straightfoward, up right man, and died respected by all who knew him. Mr. Jamison served as a member of the Irish Volunteers of Charleston in the Florida war and was one of the few old veterans of that gaUant corps living. Ho also served with gallantry in our late war, and was in every way a true man and patriot. Religious Services.?There will be preaching at the Presbyterian Church to-night, also on Friday and Saturday nights. A Sunday School Mass Meet ing wiU be held Sunday afternoon at half-past four o'clock to which all the children of the various white Sunday Schools in town are expected. Union services Sunday night. All these ser vices will be held at the Presbyterian Church, and the public are cordially invited to attend. The services at night will begin at 8 o'clock. The Difference.?The Barnwell Sentinel, of last week, says: "Again we extend our thanks to two" of Barnwell's most lovely ladies, for brightening the Sentinel "office with their presence. There is nothing that rests a weary typo so much as ? pleasant chat with the ladies." We do not agree with Brother Brunson. We always feel more refreshed when we are called from our labors to write a receipt for an old chronic delinquent subscriber than any thing else we can think of. That is the difference between us. Charleston Presbytery met at the Presbyterian Church last night at 8 o'clock. Rev. Edwin Muller, Modera tor, preached the usual opening ser mon. The session lasts until Saturday. Several ministers will remain over Sun day and we expect the several town pulpits to be filled on Sabbath morning by them. Rev. Doctors Vedder, Girar deau, Junkin, Mack, Brackett and Thompson, also Rev. Messrs. Taylor, Vardell, Mickle, Dow and several Elders will attend. The Sabbath ser vices, morning and night, will be speci ally interesting. The children will en joy the afternoon. Warning to Sportsmen.?Accord ing to the amendment passed at the last session of the legislature game birds may be killed between November 1st and April 1st. So the time is up. The following is the amendment re ferred to: "It shall not be lawful for any persons in this State, between the 1st day of April and the 1st day of Novem ber, in any year hereafter, to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such in tent, or to sell or expose for sale wild turkey, partridge, dove, woodcock or pheasant ; and any person found guilty thereof shall be fined not less than 810, or be imprisoned not less than 10 days, which line, if imposed, shall go one-h?lf thereof to the informer and the other half thereof to the school fund of the county wherein the offence was com mitted." Work for Your Town.?An ex change says business that should be patronized will at times recognize the fact that a line regard for the interest of others must be paid to reach success. Business that is worth anything and worth patronizing will always be found a paying one, a liberal one and one cal culated to be of benefit and pleasure to the community. The man who sits back and fears to invest a dollar, en courges no enterprise, frowns upon all new and advancing projects and holds a dollar as if death was the result of investing it, will never do much. His life will not be a success; his small earnings will not be a pleasure to him, neither will he ever be a pleasure to any one in the community, for he always appears verging upon death. - "OUR BREVITY BASKET. Filled With Brief Mention of Many Minor Event? of the Week. The soda water fountains will soon begin to fizz. v Knowing ones predict that this will be a remarkable year lor blackberries. The picnic of the Edisto Rifles comes off on the 29th instant, at the usual place. Our merchants are looking forward to a brisk spring trade. We trust their hopes may be realized. Orangebufg County should send her best and most intelligent farmers to the convention in Columbia. Our chess players are getting: ready for the summer campaign. We shall miss our friend, Professor Peete. Hard work is a good remedy for spring fever, while it beats all the ton ics in the world as an appetizer. Nine men out of every ten will be found upon close inspection to have at least one button in their pockets. The husband may boast of ? "holding the reins," but it's generally the wife that says where the wagon is going. Wo heard a gentlemen say t he other day that Orangeburg County had the best Sheriff in the State. We shouldn't wonder. Sheriff Salley has quite a n-imber of boarders at his hotel on jail street, thirty-six being registered at the pres ent time. The more a fanner raises at home the less he will have to buy; and the state ment embodies -the philosophy of suc cess at farming. If our farmers will make sure of the hog and hominy crop, they will not have so much occasion to abuse cotton speculators next year. Less land, more thorou/rh prepara tion and more home-made manures will bring success where there has been nothing but failue. If you can't pay cash tor a lightning rod you had. better trust to Providence for protection. Notes will come due some day and have to be paid. The Town Council of Midway will hold over the present municipal year, no election having been held, as requir ed by law, for their successors. Switzerland is about to regulate by law the amount of corset pressure the ladies may put upon themselves. We need such a law in this country. . A meeting of the Agricultural Socie ty is called for next Saturday. Let there be a good attendance as matters of importance will be discussed. The Lewiedale News says: "We re turn thanks to our Orangeburg friends for courtesies shown us while visiting their flourishing town this week." The Grand Lodge of Knights of Honor of South Carolina will hold its tenth annual session in Georgetown on Wednesday, April 21,1886, at 10 o'clock A.M. Our young friend, G. E. Stokes, Esq., is the editor of the South Carolina De partment of the South-western Journal of Education, published at Nashville, Team The time of year is now at hand when premises "should be thorughly cleaned. Don't wait until hot weather comes. Clean up before fever gets started. Amelia Street was in a pretty bad fix from the terrible rains of last week. A good ditch on the South side of the street would'prevent the recurrence of the difficulty. ' The South Carolina Congressmen threatened with opposition appear quite serene. Mr. Dibble says every man has a right to aspire to Congress and get there if he can. It is said that prohibition is produc tive of sickness. At least, c'rug stores in prohibition places have to fill about three times as many prescriptions as those in wet towns. A young woman in Kansas put a washtub down on a mad dog and then sat on the tub. We have taken uote of many remedies for hydrophobia, but this is the best of all. The first of April canje In with a bland smile?a sunshine and a happy deception all round. That is where April fools us all, for the showers of the month are proverbial. Sonic one says: "When we look upon the likenesses of the Rich Men of Char leston that the Sunday News is pub lishing every week, we feel like kissing them, for their mothers." Now here is something* which is real ly worth making a note of. If a piece of charcoal is laid on a burn the pain will subdue immediately, and if left upon the wound for an hour will cure it. The ninth annual convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of this State will be held in Columbia, opening at 8 P. M. Thursday, April 15, 1836, and closing with farewell exercises April 18. To keep insects out of bird cages tie up a little sulphur in a bag and sus pend it in the cage, lied ants will never be found in closet or drawer if a small bag of sulphur be kept constant ly in these places. Money at the Treasurer's office for the following parties who arc request ed to call and get it: lt. F. Way, A. F. Fairey, A. F. Browning, W. II. Ilen non, I. O. A. Connor. L. F. Connor, Ellis King, W. P. Wilson, Dr. G. I. Odom. A toad put into a hot-bed will effect ually protect the plants from the ravages of insects, and a number of them in an ordinary garden will ma terially reduce the number of insects, and thus protect the plants from their ravages. The Mutual Aid Association of South Carolina have had some elegant certifi cates of membership printed by Mr. R. Lewis Berry. They are very pretty and every one who can get one should have it. See Major J. Hamp. Felder for particulars. The cheapest and a good reliable weekly nswspaper is The Columbia Weekly Register, price one dollar a year. " Eight pages of good reading matter. The latest telegraphic news. Remit to the publisher, Charles A. Calvo, Jr., Columbia, S. C. Mr. Moody says ho always feels bet ter when he hears that his preaching is being abused. He knows then that he is doing good. Like Mr. Moody we are inclined to be thankful when this paper is assailed. It shows that it has life and vigor, and that it has trampled on somebody's toes. Pine Grove Dots. North Pine Grove, April 3,1885. Editor Times and Democrat : Your valuable paper circulates ex tensively in this section, but I see no correspondence from here. Corn planting is nearly completed, and preparation for cotton planting is going on. The Spring sowing of oats is doing well, and bids fair to make a crop. We are to have a picnic at Pino Grove Church Saturday, the 10th, given, we think, by the Woman's Mis sion Society. Mr. D. P. Arthur has organized a school at the Ilampden school house, and is giviner general satisfaction, Capt. Pi. W. Riser has been quite sick for several days, but, under the skillful treatment of Dr. Tabor is now conva lescing. Your correspondent made a trip to Fort Motte to-day and found that usually quiet town in semething of a stir. Enquiring the cause we learned that a colored man, George Mingo, hai been accidentally drowned in McKen zies pond at that place, Friday the 2nd instant. It seems that he had carried some white men up the pond.in a boat, and returning alone, he was seized with a fit, while some thirty yards from the hill, and fell into the water. We could not learn whether anyone saw him fall into the pond or not; but before help could reach him he sank to rise no more alive. This morning the pond was drawn down and the body recover ed. Trial Justice W.' H. Heiinon, of St. Matthews, was telegraphed for, and upon his arrival an inquest was held. The verdict of the jury was "accidental drowning." We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hennon and find him quite a pleasant gentleman. Capt. F. M. Wannamaker of St. Matthews was also in town on professional business. The majesty of the law was further upheld by trial justice J. A. M. Haigler who held court in town to-day. One case attracted considerable attention. Mr. S. J. Murrey prosecuted a colored man, Vingard Brown, for rescueing stock impounded under the stock law. Brown was found guilty and sentenced to ten dollars fine and cost or thirty days at Sheriff Salley's hotel. At last accounts he was heading towards Orangeburg, but expected to get bis fine paid by some merchant of St. Matth ews. Failing in that he will have to board with the high Sheriff. Plenty of shad being caught In the Santee and your scribe enjoys the eat ing. Yours truly, Index. List of Letters.

Persons calling for these Letters or Postal Cards will please say that they were advertised. F. A. Schiffley, Postmaster. Another Wonder.?The Abbeville Messenger says: "We have had an op portunity lately to see an exhibition of the power possessed by Mrs. G. Henry Moore, resembling that of Lula Hurst. Mrs. Moore performs all the tests given by Lufci Hurst and others that the lat ter never tried. For instance, by sim ply laying hands upon the top of a table she could make it move so that three strong men could not hold it still, the table neing brokon in the effort to hold it. This is only one of the test she gave. We are well satisfied that it is not muscular" strength. In the first place Mrs. Moore has no object in de ceiving the public, and if she had is too true a woman to do so. In the second place we are satisfied from the actual trial and experience of the force." If the lady will come to Orangeburg some of our experts will soon lind out the cause of her power. Lula Hurst was here only a short time before they knew all about her mysterious force, so they said._ The Cotton Plant for April.? Every farmer who is not a subscriber to The Cotton Plant, the only Agricul tural Journal in our State is not doing himself justice. The April number is on our table, and brimful of matter particularly interesting to the farmer. President McBryde has a long letter on the test of the different varieties of cotton seed made last year at the?South Carolina College. This letter itself is worth the subscription price for a year ?only sixty cents. A letter on "Stock Feeding" from Col. J. Washington Watts; Calf Raising in South Carolina; "Bees" by an experienced bee raiser and a number of others. It also contains a vast amount of general information no where else obtainable. Some live mat ter concerning the Grange will be read with interest. This is an eight-page, forty-column journal and is sirictly Agricultural. Send for a sample copy. Address The Cotton Plant, Marion, S, c. _ Don't, We Pray Thee.?A man for whom we have done a good deal In the way of free advertising, got mad with us some time ago because we declined to advertise him and his enterprise longer for nothing, and now swears that he will throw his inlluence against our paper and crush it out of existence. So far as his influence is concerned we have not a word of protest, but we do protest against being crushed out of existence simp'" because we refuse to work for null'. We mention this fact so as if a..., one may hear the gen tleman abusing this paper or its editor they may know the cause. A Good Settlement.?County Treasurer J. S. Albergotti made a full and complete settlement with the State Treasurer on Tuesday, 3uth ultimo, settleing sixth in the State. Ilissettle ment sheets shows receipts from all sources, State, county, special, school and poll tax, liquor' licences, fines, forfeitures, &c, amounting to eighty thousand dollars, all of which has been accounted for to the cent. Mr. Alber gotti ranks among the best treasurers in the State. GO UP HEAD ! Some Tall South Carolina Yarns Spun by the Detroit Free Tress. "Well, boys," said ? a veteran to a crowd collected around the stove in a hotel in Wheeling, W. Va, "you fellows have been telling some big tales here to-night, but you just ought to go down to South Carolina and hear them spin 'em; why, they take all the breath from a man. Just after Sherman went through they used to tell big war tales about burnings, and skirmishing, and so on, but they've quit that now, and all the lies are very' peaceable ones. When I was down there two years ago, one night I was at Florence, and the fellows were all waiting for the Colum bia express, and the way they did spin the yarns to kill time was a caution." "Uncle Bill," said one of the group, "if you don't mind, tell us one of those stories." "Well," said the old man, who in fact loved to draw 'the long bow, "I don't care if I do. In the first place you must know that down there the people ain't particular about the dol lars as they are up here; a Charleston man would rather work for fifty cents a day, and have his joke, than get a dollar in a dry way. As I was going on to say, we were at Florence, and there was one in that crowd that could outlie all the rest of us put together. He was telling about Kershaw County cows; they were so big that one of them supplied a whole township. They milked with a steam milker, and ran it iff a big stone tank, and then every man in the neighborhood could con nect his house with it, just like your house is with the waterworks. Folks down-there don't drink much whisky? they drink milk and water more than one-third of the time. But that story was nothing to the story of the Sump ter snakes. Down about Salterstown they killed one, and he was so big that the niggers cut him up in rings just like they would a watermelon, cleaned out the hide, sat it up on end, built a roof over it, and they had a house so close that cold couldn't get in. "And talking about cold, that re minds me; they have pretty cold weather down there sometimes. "About six years ago a blizzard came along one night and blew all the fire out of a farm-house chimney; the old man waited until the wind went down, and he built it up again with lightwood knots. After a while the wind came roaring along again, and went rushing down the chimney. The wind went down and the fire went up, and they had a tussle; ?and they tusseled and tussled, when all of a sudden there came a big lump of fire down on the hearth, frozen like a rock. The farmer picked it up, and put it on the shelf, and thawed it out the next morning to build another fire with. The fellow said an Edgefield editor was respon sible for this lie. "The cold down there doesn't keep potatoes from growing.though. They've a breed of potato in South Carolina that grows so big that they don't plant but one sprout; that makes one potato, which is large enough to last a family all winter. They never dig 'em; just scrape the dirt off the top, cut off as much as they want, and cover it up again. They never can bring those sort of potatoes to West Virginia. The reason is they grow so big and so fast that they burst" the railroad cars open and fall out on the track and obstruct passage for hours'. Mules are worn out things to lie about, but I don't care, they have kicking mules down there, too; and one thing funny about South Carolina mules is, they never die; only one was ever known to die in that whole country, and a butcher at Camden killed him and sold him for beef. A Colonel bought a shank, and made some soup out of it, but the first mouthful he took?the soup, mind yon, not the shank?projected him out of a two-story window, and he did not come to himself in three clays. "There is a grocer at Mayesvillc, who bought a lot of hams?got"'em cheap? and they were actually so strong that one night they got up, unbarred the door, went to the depot,-and captured the mail train and rode to Tiimnons ville without paying any fare. Some folks said they had skippers in 'cm; hut they didn't, although they did skip around right lively. "The trains down there run pretty fast, too. Just to give you an gexample. One morning the Atlantic Coast Line train was crossing the Watcree River trestle when she struck a broken rail and jumped the track. It happened that the telegraph wires were on the same side to which it jumped, and they were just about the same gauge as the track; anyhow the whole train landed right on 'em, as plumb as a die. The engineer saw that his only salvation was to pull wide open, so he pulled, and away they Hew at the rate of 130 miles an hoar. By the time one tele graph pole broke they were away across the next one, so they never did hit the ground, but kept right on, and busted in the telegraph office window at Columbia; the operator said it was the stunningest dispatch?" but the voice of the porter interrupted the old man?"lights out," und the boys crawl ed off to bed, awed by that frightful example and inwardly swearing never to tell another lie. "We beg to call the attention of every Turpentine Farmer in this section to the new advertisement of Mr. W. J. Keenan of Columbia and think it would benefit every producer to correspond with him before making shipments. He makes prompt returns with less cost and refers to the farmers them selves and the banks as to his integri ty. His rapidly increasing business is best evidence. * Back to Stay?Mr. L. W. Hydrick, who left here sometime ago to locate at Lake City, has returned with the intention of making Orangebnrg his future home. He is perfectly satisfied with his experience at Lake City, and now thinks that Orangebnrg is not so bad after all. Mr. Hydrick is a good citizen, and we cordially welcome him back to his old home._ Mit. J. M. Mayhev, of the lirm of C. Mayhew A: Son, of Columbia, is travel ing" in our County for the purpose of soliciting orders for any work in his line. These gentlemen arc the pro prietors of a large and extensive marble yard, and do line work. Opening ! Opening !!?A grand dis play of Millinery Goods at Mrs. J. M. Hairtzog's on Tuesday, April 13th, un der the supervision of Miss Burnette, of Baltimore. The public are cordial ly invited. A Former'? View?. Editor Tiiws a nil Democrat: You solicit the fanners in every sec tion to contribute to your columns, promising if we will give you facts and ideas you will see that they will be put in ship shape. "With this promise on your part I will attempt to write a few letters. I am ;it a loss to know what to write about to please, edify and com fort the farmers of Orangeburg Coun ty, for I assue you, they are in a bad lix, Mr. Editor." I know what I am talking about," I speak from personal experience. Critic, several years ago, predicted that if the farmers continued to cultivate cotton to the exclusion of other crops they would make them selves hewers of wood and drawers of water. In this predicament what must we do? Accept the situation. Put on a "stiff upperlip." Make your wants few, practice economy. I will give you an incident which happened in one of our upper counties: A wealthy gentleman was divested of his negroes and horses by Gen. Sherman. He and his sons hitched up an oxen to haul some wood, was met by an old friend, in the act of training his cow to work. The old gentleman remark ed, I had no idea that there is so much fun in being poor. You don't know how much fun I and the boys have with this oxen. It is better to take our troubles light than to grieve over them. In our depressed condition we are looking to our law-makers to do something for us. A good many far mers are hopeful that Mr. Tillmah will be the Moses to lead us out of the wilderness. I am fearful if we follow his plans he will lead us into greater troubles. He suggests that we have a farmers' convention and since there is a likelihood of one being held, I think Orangeburg should send delegates to help check Mr. Tillman in his mad career. I don't endorse Mr. Tillman, but there are somethings that he re commends I heartily agree with. The heighth of his ambition is to establish an agricultural college, which I con sider a useless and expensive luxury to the State. Other States have tried this experiment and have signally fail ed for the want of patronage, and I think every farmer and Tillman should see from the very slim attendance at the agricultural department in odr State college, an agricultural college would be a failure. I think we should correct the abuses of our State college before we establish any more. Farmer. An Enquiry. Fork. S. C. March 29,1886. Editor Times and Democrat: Why is it that the farmers of our county are so slow to take some action in regard to the "farmer's movement?" If there is any good in it, I think we need it as bad as other counties. There can certainly be no harm in our send ing substantial men of good judgement to meet the convention on April 29th. A meeting of such men from every part of the" county, and a discussion of the situation, can only redound to the good of the county. All farmers are, or should be, in sympathy with any movement that will have a tendency to revive and encourage our agricul tural interest. Will not some man come to the front and propose a plan by which we can hold meetings and appoint intelligent men of sound judgement, who will not be biased by a prejudice against any profession or honorable occupation, to represent Orangeburg in the conven tion ? Farmer. The Fisherman. This is the size of the lish he caught And carried home to-day; And this is the size of the one he hooked, But "the blamed thing got away." A Xew "lIailroad.?The Blackville correspondent of the News and Courier says : "The survey of the Blackville, Johnston and Alston Railway is being made now. The Fork people are in earnest about it, and the citizens of this town are taking hold in a way that means business. This road will traverse a line country and opens up the short est known route from the seaboard to the mountains." If this road is built it will tap a rich section of our County, and Orangeburg ought to stop it by pushing foward the road from John son to this point. The projectors of which road are anxious for it to come to Orangeburg. Welcome.?We extend a warm and cordial welcome to the gentlemen now visiting our town in attendance on the Charleston Presbytery. Among them are some of the most distinguished clegymen of the State, and we hope their visit here will be as pleasant to them as it will be profitable to our community. Joseph Hosdowicii, of Mansfield 0., who voluntarily returned a large amount of bark securities with which he had escaped to Canada, has been officially declared insane. Of course, no sane Ohio man ever acted that way. Messrs. S. H. Turner & Terry Bros, seems to be doing a good business sell ing their popular Horse-Shoe Bed Springs. See notice elsewhere. The Horse Shoe Bed Sprino.?Mr. S. II. Turner, who is the patentee of the above excellent article of household economy, with his company of young men, have arrived in our town for the i purpose of introducing theae Springs. ; In speaking of the departure of Mr. Turner anil his company from that place the Rockingham Spirit of the J South says: "Mr. S. II. Turner, manager of the Horse Shoe Bed Spring Company to- ( gether with his troupe, after a sojourn j of quite a while in our midst, has re moved to Fayetteville, which point will be his headquarters for the next < few months. Mr. Turner, during his stay in our midst, has demeaned him self a perfect gentleman, always meet- i ing his obligations promptly, and re quiring those in his service to do like wise on pain of being instantly dis- 1 charged. Of the merits of the springs he sells we have heretofore spoken; ( they are just splendid, and we have yet to hear of one dissatisfied purchaser. , We therefore, cheerfully recommend ] Mr. Turner and his Bed Springs to the people of Fayetteville, hoping that he may return "to dwell with us again some time." -i P.
