LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, The Rev. W. D. Kirkland, fche ac complished editor oi' the Southern Christian Advocate, will preach at the Methodist Church next Sunday morn ing. _ A. delegation of boys from the Hampton Literary Society of Sheri dan's Classical School accompanied the remains of young Crum to Grahams for interment. The nebrew Benevolent Society, of Orangeburg, S. C, tender their thanks th each and every person who has so kindly rendered them assistance recent ly in" the shape of contributions or otherwise._ We learn from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of the 5th instant, that our young friend, Eev. H. S. Wannamaker, vyas ordained as a deacon at a recent session of the New York East Conference in that city by Bishop E. G. Andrews. We had the plesure of meeting in our sanctum one day last week our genial friend, Dr. Jno. C. DuBois, of Hudson, N. Y., who is on his way home from a Florida trip. The Doctor has a host of friends in Orangeburg, who were glad to meet him again. We notice from the Brenham, Texas, Daily Banner that Mr. E. L. Salley, has just been elected Assessor and Collec tor of that city unanimovfc''", receiving every vote cast, something near 1,000. We are glad to know that our f rend is so popular in his adopted home. A Bad Habit.?We understand that quite a number of boys and young men are in the habit of fishing near the river bridge on Sundays. We are sorry to hear this, as we think the Sabbath ought to be respected by everybody, and we hope these parties will desist in future from such conduct. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Connor and chil dren, of Charleston, S. O, paid our town a short visit last Saturday and Sunday. They were the guests of Dr. J. G. Wan namaker. Mr. Connor is at the head of the prosperous firm of Win. M. Connor &Bro, cotton factors, of Charleston, which does a large buisness in this sec tion. A Change.?Dr. J. P. Ott, publisher of the BranchviUe Banner, has associa ted with him in the publication of that journal Mr. T. O. Edwards, a young journalist of ability. We cordially welcome Mr. Edwards to the ranks of the fraternity, and hope that our co temporary will be more prosperous in the future than ever. Railroad Talk.?The Barnwell People says: "We learn from Mr. W. R. Walker that citizens of Aiken and Orangeburg counties, in the neighbor hood of Johntown, have subscribed enough to assure the building of the proposed narrow guage railroad from Blackville to Johntown." If this is true, its bad news for Orangeburg. Anniversary Meeting.?The sev enth anniversary meeting of the St. Paul's Woman's Missionar}' Society of Orangeburg Station, will b*e celebrated next Sunday evening at the Methodist Church at half past eight o'clock. A sermon will be delivered by the Rev. W. D. Kirkland, of Charleston, S. C.' A cordial invitation is extended to the congregations of the Presbyterian, Baptist. Lutheran and Episcopal Churches to be presenton this occasion. Fire in Pine Grove.?The dwelling of Mr. Win. A. Fogle,an old gentleman living in North Pine Grove, accidental ly caught fire last Thursday morning and was burnt to the ground. Most of . the fu rniture was saved, but the house is a total loss as it was not insured. This is a misfortune as Mr. Fogle has only one arm, a id will find it hard to rebuild his dwelling. Several colored men who entered the yard to try and save the house were severely bitten by dogs on the premises. Trn Peterktn Ahead.?Professor McBryde. of the South Carolina Col lege, publishes in the Cotton Plant his test of several varieties of cotton for the last three years, giving yield per acre and per cent, of lint, "in 1885, Dickson's cluster headed the list with 1478 pounds to the ucre, making '62% per cent, of lint, or 477 pounds." Dun can's Mammoth made only 30 per cent, of lint, while the Peterkiri cotton made 1256 pounds to the acre, and 3&% per cent of lint or 480 pounds. That is 125(5 pounds of the Beterkin made 3 pounds more lint than the 1478 pounds ofDickson's cluster. While the Pro fessor is cautious and would not draw sweeping concusions from these results, he thinks they are inLivor of the Peter kin, but they also show that the Jones andDickson Improved are deservedly popular. The New Town of Elloree.?It is gratifying to us to note signs of im provement in any and every section of our county. Our paper is a county pa per and is devoted to the welfare" and prosperity of our entire county. There fore we mention with pleasure the splendid outcome of the sale of lots at the Town of Elloree, on the projected and surveyed line of the Eutawville Railroad. Twenty-two lot were sold at the public sale on Saturday last, at prices ranging from $30 to 5106, per lot, and the purchasers were among the best citizens and most successful busi ness men of that section. Such men as Drs. Bates, M. J. D. Dantzler, Snider, Davant and Messrs. John Harmon, Thomas W. Ulmer, J. C. Ulmer, Messrs. Parier and Norton, and others have invested their money in the enterprise, and some of them have taken steps, looking to the immediate erection of buildings, and within a few weeks, there will be built a blacksmith shop, two groceries, a drugstore, and a hotel. The Railroad is within twenty-five miles of Elloree, and will reach the town by July, and the establishment and the growth of the place is assured. The presence of the railroad, the wealth and beauty of the surrounding country, the thrift of the people, all are guar antees of the success of the enterprise, and the city of Orangeburg so far from looking grudgingly or enviously upon this bright prospect for one of the sec tions of our grand old county, sends to day her greeting and congratulations to the people of that section, and wel comes the birth of her little sister city. Lots are still on sale, parties desiring a safe investment should applv to Rev. W. J. Snider at Elloree. The sale of lots are all made with a guarantee that if the railroad docs not come to the place, money will be refunded. AN INTERESTING MEETING. Tho \gricultaral Society Sumls Delegates to the Columbia Convent ion. The called meeting of the Orange burg-County Agricultural Society was held on last Saturday the 10th. instant, in one of tho rooms o? Sheridan's Classical School. In the absence of Dr. W. F. Barton, the permanent President. Yi^-Presi dent John L. Moorer took the chair and Mr. J. II. Fowles, Secretary, read the minutes of last meeting'. After con firmation of the minutes Cant. J. L. Moorer stated that the object of the meeting was so elect delegate:; to rep recent this society at the farmers con vention to be held in Columbia on the 29th instant. Capt. X. X. Ilayden asked whether it was proposed to elect d legates to day and would these delegates repre sent the county at large? The Presi dent answered that the delegation elected here to-day would only repre sent this society, but the county could send an additional delegation if it so desired. Mr. T. E. Dukes favored tiendinga delegation in order that our people may reap whatever benefits the Colum bia convention might afford, but- he earnestly opposed the idea ol mixing politics" with it on any action that might be taken by theconvention tend ing in the least degree to divide the Democratic part}'. Mr. John J. Antley thought the whole thing would be a muss and have a tendency to split the party, lie favor ed a delegation of good and not bad men. Every profession ought to live and the law should favor all alike. A thousand farmers could not make laws. Dr. J. C. Holman said that at the last meeting he opposed the movement but thought, according to the action of that meeting, we were oblige.' to send a delegation. He favored a convention now because it might bring about con cert of action among fanners. If they cotdd have a general understanding among them some good might result. Ho favored the primary plan of nomi nating officers and said that the people complained that the ring elected their officers and that they could not trust their Representatives. The convention if held would correct this. The people had taken hold of politics and such a meeting as that would satisfy them and leave no room for complaint. He was surprised at the idea that politics was not in this convention?it was political to the bottom and would meet to put a strait jacket on our Represen tatives. Mr. John S. Rowe said that the con vention ought to be held, but earnestly opposed mixing farming and politics together. Wherever the subject had been broached in other counties the same sentiment was expressed. Mr. E. R. Walter, said Mr. Tillman's letter stated two reasons why the far mers complained: 1st, The misapplica tion annually of ?35,000 received by the Agricultural Bureau, from which the farmers get no benefit; 2d, An Agri cultural College was needed to teach improved methods of farming. We, who were obliged to use fertilizers, had to compete with the farmers of the West who used none. This could not be done without adopting economical methods of farming and for this the education of our youth was necessary. H' the 35,000 dollars could be applied to such a college the expense would be comparatively light. The convention would do a great deal if only one of these be accomplished. Mr. A. M. Salley did not know what was Mr. Tillman's object but, accord ing to the resolution passed at the last meeting, we were obliged to send dele gates. He was willing to send five good men and leave them free to act as they saw lit. Such a convention could have no authority except to memorialize the Legislature. His opinion was not worth much, but he could not see how a convention in the spirit of Mr. Till man could benefit the farmers. As far us he could see all the counties oppos ed and "set down on" Mr. Tillman's movement but we ought to send dele gates to keep harm l'rom being done and it' possible to do some good. Mr. Salley offered the following resolution which was adopted: Resolved, That this society send live conservative delegates to represent it in the approaching convention. Nominations were culled for and an election ordered which resulted in the selection of t.following gentlemen as delegates: Mr. Eugene R. Walter, Mr. James II. Fowles, Mr. J. M. Moss, Dr. J. AV. Summers, and Dr. J. C. Ilolman; and as*alternates, Mr. A. M. Salley, Mr. E. X. Chisolm and Mr. J. W. Hodges. The following resolution was adopt ed: Resolved, That the delegates go un trammeled. There being no further business the society adjourned._ Sad Accident.?Last Friday after noon a serious and almost fatal acci dent occurred a few miles f rom town on the road leading from this place to Rowesville. As Mrs. James Stokes and her daughter, Miss Annie, were driving along the road in a buggy on their way home from a visit to a neigh bors, their horse, took fright from an other horse running up behind the bug gy and dashed off. The frightened animal soon left the road and took to the woods, running against a tree and throwing the two ladies out. Mrs. Stokes escaped with a lew slight brusies but Miss Annie was very seriously injured, having been thrown very violently against a tree, sustain ing very severe injuries about the head and body. When the buggy struck the tree, the horse became detached from it and continued to run until he jump ed in a ditch, breaking both front legs. To end his sufferings he was shot. We are glad to hear that Miss Annie was not as badly injured as at lirst report ed, and is' now in a fair way for an early and speedy recovery. Almost a Fire.?Just as the mem bers of the Presbyterian congregation were assembling Wednesday evening, the 7th instant, it was discovered that the roof of the church was oa fire. The alarm was sounded and great confusion followed. The fire department re sponded promptly and succeeded in ar resting the progress of the flames, and the lire was completely extinguished before anv damage had been done. After the excitement had subsided the services were held. The church has been recently refurnished with carpets, &c., by the ladies of the church at con siderable trouble and expense. The building was in great danger-at one time, and excitement ran high. Charleston Preabytery. Charleston Presbytery met on Wed nesday night last at 8 o'clock, in the Presbyterian Church. The Rev; Edwin Muller preached the customary ser mon. It was one of his usual lihepro ductions. After service the roll of churches was called by Rev. Jno. R. Dow, Clerk, anil Rev. Mr. Morse of Coosaw was elected Moderator. Presby tery then adjourned until 9^ A. M., Thursday. The morning train brought a large accession of delegates. As they arrived, the Committee, Messrs. Ham ilton and Thompson distributed them among the various families, as follows: Rev. Doctor's Mack and Thompson and Elder McCreery to Mr. G. H. Cornelson, Rev. Dr. Brackett and Elder Jas. Allen to Mr. J. A. Salley, Rev. Dr. Junkin and Elders Leland and Hutson to Mr. N. A. Dull, Rev. Dr. Giraudeau and Elder F. Y. Legare to Capt. J no. A. Hamilton, Rev. Mr. Brockington and Elder ?. E. Johnson to Mr. W. B. Thompson, Rev. Jno. R. Dow to Mrs. H. Thames,-Elders Mikell and Hutson to Mr. B. W. Idar, Rev. Mr. Hunt and Elder J. A. Enslow to Mr. II. Riggs, Elder Henderson to C. B. Glover, Esq. The remaining delegates were comfor tably cared for by Messrs. M. Glover, W. Wilcock and J. G. Vose. The rou tine of Church work was rapidly push ed through. In spite of a depressed busi..ess year the various churches re sponded largely in excess of the past year to all work. Westminister Church, (Dr. Junkins) ran over 38,000 in collec tions for aU purposes. Dr. Brackett's reported one hundred and eighty two accessions, and the Ladies' Society of this church was educating four young men. The Orangeburg Church had raised nearly S400 above 1885. The various overtures and reports were discussed ably and acted upon.- Dr. Junkin was elected Commissioner to General Assembly with Dr. Giraudeau as alternated Maj. J. A. Leland was elected as elder Commissioner with Prof. Sheppard as alternate. Dr. Thompson preached eloquently at night to a full house. Friday was a busy day, and it was evident that the delegates were making an effort for home. The evening train carried at least one third of the delegates away. At night Mr. Brockington . delivered a scholarly sermon, and Presbytery went into session which lasted until near midnight. It became known that an adjournment would follow and the ministers all go home, when one of the church officers made a strong appeal f? the remaining delegates to stay. Rev. Drs'. Giraudeau and Mack, Rev. Messrs. Morse and Hunt, and Elder Henderson remained. Dr. Mack by a previous understanding was assigned to preach at the Baptist Church, Rev. j Mr. Morse from custom was to preach I the usual morning sermon in this church, and Dr. Girardeau was held back for night. Mr. Morse's sermon and Dr. Mack's were fine efforts. The Doctor is a most successful worker. In a ministry of twenty-five years he has been the accredited means of leading four thousand persons to a new life. The children's afternoon service was a success. The church was full, Dr. Mack, Mr. Morse, Rev. Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Hunt each assisted. The Song Service was delightful. But the climax I was at night, when the Rev. Dr. Girau deau entered the pulpit with Dr. Mack I and Mr. Muller a sea of exneotan|^aces greeted his kindly eye. The Choir rendered an exquisite voluntary, then the preacher requeued that all would sing, "All hail the power of Jesus' name.'' It was a glorious burst of praise. Dr. Giraudeau's theme was, the office of the Holy Spirit. Ilia dis course lasted one hour and a quarter. | The audience was spell bound. Tf at tempt to sketch this magnificent ser mon would mar a production, admitted by nil to be supurbly scholarly. Grade by grade, height upon height, submit upon summit, until grand in the atti tude of genius and splendid in the lus tre of faultless dress he rose to the pinacle of glorious eloquence. Seldom are such .sermons heard. Our peo ple were all delighted beyond expres sion. The delegates left on Monday morning for home. A Sad Dkatii.?*iT. Hammond Crtim, a First Grade Student of Sheridan's Classical School, died, alter a short ill ness, on last Tuesday morning at the resilience of Mr. I. Wesley Bowman in this city. We have seldom known the death of one so young and compara tively a stanger to our citizens to cast a deeper gloom over an entire com munity than that of Mr. ('rum. Every one seem bowed and deeply grieved be cause of the hopes, so suddenly blight ed, entertuined of one so gifted in all the elements and talents that make up a perfect man. We can only speak of him here as a student of two years ac quaintance with our citizens, hut this character and this short period of con tact exhibited the index pointings of a noble manhood. His reputation was built up upon a high sense of honor, strict devotion to duty, unswerving love for right and truth, implicit obedience to rightful authority and a tender sensitiveness lor the feelings of others?traits of character which few boys of 18 years possess so well defined and developed. Perhaps the saddest element in the death of Mr. Crum is the fact that he lacked only three months of completing his school course necessary to enter College. Ho had every assurance from his teachers that his examination in June would be a successful one and that neither himself nor parents need feel any uneasness upon that score. With such marked success thus far in life and possessed of such noble traits of character, it is hard to predict what kind of manhood the allotted years of human life would have developed in this young student. Mr. Crum was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Crum, of Barn well County, who have our profoundest sympathy In this hour of their deep bereavement and, in giving it, we would say that (heir grief is not without hope, for such noble fruit as appeared in the character of their son could not be produced by the carnal mind. To Ckoss Santee.?The Suinter Ad vance says: "The. editor of the Manning | Times, says, he saw a letter on Monday last from the President of the Eutaw ville Railroad, to Capt. R. R. Briggs, telling him that the bridge over Santee River is now being built and that the Road in contemplation from Xo. 41 <m the South Carolina Railway to Suinter, would be completed to Summerton in Clarendon County before the end of the present year. We suppose from this, that the Road will be completed to this place in a year from now. Let it come, and come quickly." city council. A Wise Suggestion from the Board or Health ami Other Matters.

D. Kortjohn, City Treasurer. Received as information. The following petition of the Board of Health was read: Tothe Honorable, the Mayor and Alder men of the City of Orangeburg: Gentleman.?Owing to my connec tion with the "Health Department," I think it my duty to call your attention to what I consider a very serious un sanitary condition of the City, and to submit for your consideration such suggestions as will, if adopted, be a safe-guuTd against any serious outbreak of disease in our midst. Sanitary measures, to be effective, should be carried out at those times when most people see no cause for anxiety, and often, therefore may appear to involve unnecessary expense and worry. Such measures, when most successful, may be least appreciated. "If the expected disease does not appear, the warnnings will be considered to have been a false alarm, and the precautions taken to be excessive" but, how when the warn ings are unheeded, the precautions are not taken, epidemic disease breakout, many lives are lost, and the authorities see when it is too late, that these mis fortunes could have been prevented. It is to the present privy system of our City that I wish to call your atten tion. This system is known as the "accu mulative form." Listen to what Dr. W. II. Ford, President of the Philadel phia Board of Health, and a high authority, says about it: "Of nil forms of excremental pollution of soil none prevails to a greatr extent, is more dangerous in its effects upon health, and discreditable to sanitary manage ment than privies of the accumulative sort." To be hejlthly it is necessary breath pure air, drink pure water^ d. i eat pure nutrious food. It is hardly less important that theground should be secured from every source of con tamination. For air and ..ater are more or less directly influenced by the soil, and if the latter becomes defiled, the former are in danger of becoming polluted from this source. Of all the forms of soil contamination, that by excremental matter is the most fre quent and dangerous. You can readily understand, how, with the present system, the liquid) portion of excreta, (by soakagc.)trickles into the neighboring"wells and pollute the water, and the solid decomposes and arise from theground in the form of gaseous vapors, polluting the air we breat he. Of course, we can and do use disinfectants, but you might as well use "perfurmery in the place of soap] and water" as to substitute disinfect ants for cleanliness. We may mention the following as the principal diseases arising from soil contamination: Intermittent, typhoid and bilious remittent fevers, cholera and dysentery. The first, third and fifth diseases prevail in our town every year, and while the first and third may ba due to malaria, the fifth is, in my opinion, due to the want of a proper method of removal of excreta. Now for the remedy. I would re commend the jail system, this is cheap, simple, practical and safe. It consists in providing every water closet with one or more "pails" or "tubs" with tightly fitting lids and iron handles. The lids render removal inoffensive and the handles enable one man to manage them. At certain stated intervals the scav enger carts can call for and transport the pails to a safe distance, empty, cleanse, disinfect and return them. The excreta could be manufactured into manure and sold for more than it would cost the town to remove them. This or some other (similar) system will have to be adopted sooner or later, or disease will demonstrate its necessi ty more forciblv than I have done. W. C. Wanna maker, M. D., Chairman Board of Health. We fully concur with above. M. G. Sallev, M. ?.. A. G. Townsend, George Holiver.D. X. Smith. II. Riggs, 11. Wil liamson, Members Board of Health. Referred to the Committee on Streets with instructions to report at an early date. Petition of resident citizens in the vicinity of Russell Street and Rail Road Avenue was read as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and Alder men ofOrangeburg: Gentlemen.?Your petitioners re spectfully show, that a very large and thickly settled part of the City, embrac ing stores, dwellings, railroad depot, college, &c, is so far removed from the present location of the steam engine and truck, that the help to be derived from these, in event of fire cannot rea sonably lie expected. That the location of the hand engine and the reserve truck (the old machine) at or near the railroad crossing is most desirable. That the erection of a plain comforta ble building for the purpose would strengthen the energies of our colored firemen. That we would get large and valuable help from twenty or more colored men (not members) to man our hand engine, as tbev live near the cross ing. That the new lire well will be utilized nromptlv by a short run in case of lire, instead of (as now) a run of over half a mile.

By Alderman Williams: Inasmuch that fevers prevail to an alarming ex tent in the Northern and North-eastern portion of our City along the creek or branch, known as the "Old Grave Yard Branch," since the erection of the dam and stoppage of the stream by Mr. Cornelson by the placing in said stream a Hydraulic Ram for the purpose of supplying his factory with water from said branch, and inasmuch that numer ous complaints have been made by citi zens residing along the said branch or water course, now, therefore. Resolved, That the City Council de clare the said obstruction a nuisance and that Mr. Cornelson be required to abate said nuisance at once. Carried. The Mayor appointed Aldermen Williams and Cannon a special commit tee to confer with the Board of Health in this matter.

Clerk of Council. A Onartor of a Cent ury Ago. ORANGEBURG, S. C, April 11,188(5. Editor Times and Democrat: As I walked along Russell street to the depot to-day, the scenes passed through my mind of the thrilling events that occurred along the same street and at the depot, twenty-five years ago to-dav. Yes, on this same day, the 11th of April, 1861, Orange burg County sent her first offering to the Seacoast to defend our State and country. On that day, four companies from the town and "County gathered near the Courthouse, formed in com panies and marched to the depot to embark on the cars. Can I ever forget that scene at the depot, where kind good-byes and loving adieus were taken. No! never while this heart shall throb can I forget the sad part ings I witnessed that day. These four companies consisted of the Etlisto Rifles, the Jamison Guards, the Glover Gnards and the Keitt Guards, com panies A, B, C, and D, of Hagood's First South Carolina Volunteers, about three hundred of the best young man hood of Orangeburg County. To-day as I walked along the same street and to the depot, at the same place, I asked myself the question, how many of that gallant, band is left? The Edisto Hilles was officered by Capt. John Glover, Lieutenants Jas. F. Izlar, John Fe'Jer and Samuel Kennedy. Of this g:. mt company's olficers only one, our old friend, Jas. F. Izlar, is left. The Jamison Guards was commanded by Capt. Daniel Livingston, Lieuten ants Jos. Knotts, Dempsy Jonesand Frank Pou, all of these have passed away but Mr. Jones. The Glover Guards was officered by Capt. Samuel Kemmerlin, Lieutenants L. II. Zim merman, T. II. Cooke and John Stro man, of these, Capt. Kemmerlin and T. H. Cooke is all that are left. The Keitt Guards was officered by Capt. James Collier, Lieutenants John Sel lers; David Jamison and O. M. Dantz ler, of this company's first officers only Lieutenants Sellers and Jamison are left. And what of the uncommission ed officers and privates who marched away from home and loved ones on that* day? How many of them was left on many a bloody battle field and along our coast and away in some far, far away hospital, of those who passed through the four years of hardship and suffering, many came back with disease and old wounds that have since carried them away until, now the number is getting small, and the few that is left are now on the sunset side of life. Other counties and other com mands have their survivor's reunions, but Orangeburg has never called a meet ing of her Survivors yet. I trust theday will yet come when all of her war scared Survivors will come together and unite in erecting some suitable monu ment to the memory of our departed comrades._A Survivor. iilut of Letters.
