for interment.
The nebrew Benevolent Society, of

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."

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.

To the Honorable Mayor and Alder

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. All of which wo earnestly

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.
