LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Disinfectants.?Disinfectants for Iree distribution has been placed at the Central Drag Store by the Board of Health, and it is hopedthat it will be freely used by our citizens. Clean up your premises, and disinfect them well if you want to enjoy good health. A stitch in time saves nine, and now is the time to take the stitch. Sudden Death.?Mr. Calhoun In abinet, of Caw Caw Township, died very suddenly last Monday night. He was busy all day in the field, and eat a very hearty supper and went to bed. Sometime during the night he woke his wife up, telling her he was sick, but before she could do any thing for him he died. Mr. Inabinet was about forty-five years old, and a good citizen. Flour Corn.?The Xews and Couri er of the 20th says that Capt, A. T. Harllee has sent to the agricultural department some samples of his Hour corn. Some months ago mention was made in this correspondence of a sam ple of flour sent to the bureau by Mr. Harllee. The corn is described as being very prolific and having but little in its composition besides flour. This flour is remarkably fine and cannot be distinguished from wheat flour. Entertainment at St. Matthews. The ladies of our sister town of St. Mathews propose giving an entertain ment on next Thursday evening, May 6th, for the purpose of raising funds to provide a?public reading room for that town. Ice cream, cakes and other danties will be served, and it is hoped that the ladies will meet with a grand sncces3, as the object they have in view is a most worthy one, and de serves encouragement. So let every one, who can,?attend. A Double Headed Snake.?Capt. W. W. Oliver, of Middle St. Matthews, sent to town last week a snake killed on his place by a colored man that was a curiosity, the snake had two fully developed heads, one on each'end, and could travel either way with ease. We know that snakes are bad things to construct extraordinary stories on, but the above is a literal fact, and can be vouched for by a number of gentlemen who examined the double-headed rep tile. We never heard of such a thing before, and would like to see an expla nation of it from some of our scientific men. A Runaway?Last Saturday after noon, just about the time the train from Columbia arrived at the depot, a -JP*^~ hitched to a buggy became ?"?"?trightened and ran away, smashing up things generally. This caused the horses in the omnibus of the Orange burg Hotel to become frightened and away they went up Amelia street with only two little children in the omnibus. After running from the depot to the school house of Mr. Mellichamp they were stopped by Mr. Julius A. Ed wards, who happened to be on the street. Nothing was hurt, but the little fellows inside were overjoyed at their safe deliverence. The Fink Tea.?As stated last week the ladies of the Lutheran Church will give a pink tea during the early part of May, for the benefit of their church. The novelty of the* entertainment will no doubt attract many visitors, and all who go, can be assured of having a nice time. Everything will be of the color of pink, the ladies will be dressed in pink, the tables will be covered with pink, and the dishes will be pink. An exclusive predominating decided color will make a picturesque effect, and such as this has never been seen in Orange burg. The object for which the enter tainment is given is a worthy one, and should have a liberal encouragement. Southern Statistics.?The Bureau of Statistics under the Treasury De partment, has under preparation a re port of the industrial and commercial interest of the Southern States, east of the Mississippi and South of the Poto mac. Mr. L. A. Ransom, of the Agri cultural Department of this State, has been appointed by the Chief of the Bu reau at Washington, to furnish the statistics from this State. It is the first effort of this kind which has been made, and is necessarily attended with a good many difficulties. The depart ment ;isks th9 aid of every one inter ested in making a good showing to inform them of the various industries in the State. Nothing will do more to improve our country than to l3t other people know our natural advantages, and what can be made by a proper de velopment of our resources. Easter.?The Easter Day services at the Church of the Redeemer, Rev. II. J. Broadwell, M. D., Hector, were un usally interesting. The beautiful blending of evergreen, moss and dow ers showed the most exquisite taste on the part of the ladies of the parish and a most cordial interest in rendering the church attractive. The musical part of the service was beautifully and impressively rendered. In the morn ing the Rector preached from Col., Ill, 4, "Christ who is our life." and celebra ted the Holy Communion. In the af ternoon, evening prayer was said and a Children's Easter serviee was held, in which the singing of Carols, repeating of Scripture passages, a short address by the Rector, and the distribution of Easter Cards, formed a pleasant ami interesting service. An unusually large attendance marked both the morning and afternoon service. Ho. FOR Aiken!?The Baptist Sun day School of our town has made very favorable arrangements with the South Carolina Railroad for an excursion to Aiken, on Tuesday, May 11th. It will be a basket pic-nic, and the Sunday schools of all the denominations have been invited to unite. The Committee of Arrangements, with a special eye to the pleasure of the children, has fixed upon, the following low rates of passage : "Sunday school children, 25 cents; all other persons, 31.00. Con sidering the fact that Aiken is a most popular and attractive resort, and that Orangeburg has never yet had an excursion of this kind to that city, we have no doubt that a great many" will avail themselves of the opportunity of so pleasant a trip. The train will leave Orangeburg at 7 A. M.; arrive at Aiken at 10 A. M.; leave Aiken at 5 P. M.. and return to Orangeburg at 8 P. M? thus giving the excursionists seven hours in Aiken. Tickets will be placed for sale, at once, at the stores of Messrs. Theodore Kohn and Lowman & Dukes. OUR BREVITY BASKET. FlUert With Brier Mention or Many Minor Event? of the Wevk. The Farmers' Convention meets to day 5n Columbia. The farmers'' convention was very slimly attended last Saturday. We hope the gallant Edistos and their friends will have a gala time, to day. A number of Easter picnics were held in different parts of the Countj last Saturday. The Episcopal Church was hand somely and tastily decorated last Sun day with llowers. We are indebted to Mrs. J.

Yes?we are all good, in our way but some of us have some very odt ways?havn't we? Most of the farmers that we have conversed with on the subject report f poor stand of corn. Several parties have joined the Bap tist Church during the present meeting Let the good work go on. Miss Amanda Butler will please ac cept our thanks for a boquet of beauti ful roses, sent us last Monday. . Charleston had better disband hei base ball club and retire from the field They are a poor lot of sticks. As this is campaign year every fami ly ought to take one of the county pa pers.

To enable every one to hear the Bos ton Stars on Saturday evening, May 1, [ the management have decided to com mence the entertainment at 9 o'clock. The South Carolina Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church has given its sanction to the rule forbidding dancing ?square or round?to church mem bers. Girls, when your escort ventures on the arm clutch, say handsoff. It is an ill appearing habit and a degree of per sonal familiarity which .should not bo permitted. The Boston Star Concert Company will appear at the Masonic Hall Satur day evening, May 1. Doors open at half-past 8 o'clock; entertainment com mences at 9. Walter Emerson, said to be the greatest cornet player living is with the Boston Concert Company, and will appear at the Masonic Hall next Sat urday evening. Our town was visited by a much needed shower of rain yesterday, which we hope extended all over the county, as our farmers are needing rain to get their crops up. We understand that Mr. Ham p.

Intelligence comes from New York that the strike in the sugar refineries has caused sugar to advance l}4 cents within a week. The entire slock is in the hands of the speculators who will hold it for a yet greater advance. Editor Dawson, of the Xews and Courier, sailed last week from Europe on his return home. Our genial friend, J. 0. Ilemphill, Esq., has filled the edi torial chair so gracefully and ably in Capt. Dawson's absence that he was not missed. The Barnwell People says: "The survey of the Blackville and Alston Railroad is progressing favorably be yond the Edisto.

Sometime ago Clerk of Court Willis of Collt ion County, paid a brief visit to our town, and this is what he has to say about us in the Colleton Press: As vour paner is teeming with politics, I thought I might please some of your readers by varying the "bill of fare," and give them a short account of my recent trip to the city of Orangeburg. I will dispense with all apologies and preliminaries, and commence by saying that I spent the night of the 2nd in stant, with my relatives in the pleasant little town of Reevesville. I took the 8 o'clock train Saturday morning, and in one and a half hours I stepped on the Orangeburg depot. I was met there and warmly greeted by my old friend and former neighbor, Capt. H. G- Sheridan, who conducted me to his pleasant home situated a short distance from the depot. Capt. Sheridan, assist ed by his two sons, are conducting one among the best classical schools in the country. He has under his charge ninety scholars and live counties are represented in his school. Boys are prepared here to enter the higher classes in college or for the active duties in life. He has several boys, and at least one young lady, from Colle ton. We took a walk through the busi ness portion of the city, and I was as tonished to see the crowd of people thronging the sidewalks, crowding the stores, the street, as well as the large wagon yard of Mr. Cornelson, were filled with vehicles of every kind from the country, and I suppose I saw at least fifty bales of cotton brought in for sale. Mr. Cornelson has, I think, the finest store and largest stock of goods in the city. Messrs. Kohn. Pike and Epstin, have also large stores. Dr. Wannamaker has the finest drus: store in the city. My young friend from Colleton Dr. Reeves is doing well in the drug business also. We visited the office of The Times and Democrat, Editor Sims was out, but we were po litely shown over the office and found every thing in good style. It is a live paper, and its gentlemanly editor (to who 11 I was introduced later in the day, and roomed with him while in the city) deserves the success he has achiev ed. Later in the evening Capt. Sheri dan took me in his buggy through all the principal streets of the city and to every place of note in the suburbs of the city. Orangeburg is certainly a beautiful as well as a thriving city, dud when they build their Lewiedale and Fork Rail Road the business of the city will be doubled. I like Orange burg very much and was very much pleased with ray short viait. The May number of the Eclectic Magazine is an attractive and readable issue, covering a goodly variety of topics. The leading paper, "Ireland Under Her Own Parliament," by J. H. Derwent, is very germane to the Brit ish situation to-day, on which the eyes of all the world are fixed. A papSr on "The Rossettis" will interest readers specially interested in literary and ar tistic questions. James Bryce, M. P., is represented by a contributior on ?'The Relations of History and Geogra phy," and Lady D?ke, whose marriage to her husband under the circumstances represents a rare degree of couruge^und devotion, has an historical paper of interest on "France Under Richelieu." The contribution by Huxley on "The Evolution of Theology" will be read with peculiar interest. Sir John Lub bock on "The Pleasure of Reading," giving our readers a bright and sug gestive paper which may be studied with profit, and the companion article, "The office oi Literature," will be also cordially welcomed by literary readers. ?Among minor article" special attention may be ealled to "Emigration," from the" Saturday Review, and "Socialist Rage" and "Multiple Personality," from the London Spectator. There is the usual variety of short stories, poetry and sketches. The number as a whole seems to be of a highly popular char acter. Published by E. R. Pelton, 25 Bond Street, New York.

The correspondent of the News and Courier, writing from this place, under date of List Saturday, says: "One of the most brutal and inhuman acts of cruelty ever committed in a civilized country has recently come to light in this county. It seems that about two weeks ago a little negro child, about four years of age, in the upper part of this county, was by some accident severely burned. The child did not live with its parents, but was at the house of a relative, a colored man. It had not recovered from Its burns, and was unable to get up or move from its bed. On Saturday night last this ne gro man deliberately left home, with out providing either food or water for the helpless sufferer, and did not return until the following Sunday night or Monday morning, when the child, had been left alone, was found dead. An inquest was held, and the physician who made the post-mortem examina tion assures tne the child died from actual starvation. An examination of the intestines and stomach showed an entire absence of food or liquid. Surely this is a case that merits and should receive the severest punishment." ' Swindles.?There has been much said lately about the "Bohemian oat swindle." But the whole thing is so barefaced that we do not sympathize much with the unfortunate suckers. But what is worse and more insinua ting is the fruit tree swindle. It takes longer to learn that you are swindled, but the damage is almost'irreparable. There is only one way to be safe in buying fruit trees, and that is uncer tain enough; and that is to buy of some local nursery man that has an estab lished reputation for fair dealing. Give the shck-tongned, slick picture-book tree agent a wide berth, and set the dog on him if he is too persistent. A safe rule is to buy nothing of unknown traveling agents._ The Road Law.?Maj. Harry Ham mond, of Beech Island, condemns the existing road laws in South Carolina and suggests that the public highways be placed under the mangement of a State board which should employ com petent surveyors and engineers. The expense of this board is to be met by a tax, two thirds of which should be levied on vehicles, and the remaining one third on all other property. This is a subject that should receive the at tention of the Farmers' Convention. THE FARMERS MEET. Full Proceedings of the Convention Held Last Saturday. In pursuance of a call published last week, a convention of the fanners of Orangeburg County assembled in the Court House on Saturday last. On motion Capt. J. H. Felder was call to the chair and Mr. A. D. Fair requested to act as Secretary. Capt. Felder in announcing the object of the meeting said that the convention had not met to talk merely or by any act to antago nize any class or interest of our citi zens, but to discuss matters relating to the farming interest and the welfare of our county. Many slaps had been made at this movement of the tanners from several quarters, but admitting that Mr. Tillman did deal in extreme language, he had an extreme case to call it forth. Other interests had unit ed and why may-not the farmers unite without being considered as antagoniz ing any other interest of our citizens, for we all claimed this State as our grand mother and we should speak no unkind word or perform no unkind act to another. The object then of the convention was to elect five delegates from the county at large to attend the State Farmer's Convention to assemble in Columbia on the 29th instant. Mr. V. V. S. Austin said he was a farmer and could not say much about the matter, but he thought this conven tion ought to send delegates to confer with the Columbia Convention in order that we may know the full meaning of the movement. Each farmer should understand that every interest must be considered. We cannot do without the merchant and are willing to pay him a small per cent, profit on his goods. The doctor should not be left out because he might in some way be identified with the farming interest. So with the Mechanic, Clerk of the Court, &c, and they all could go to Columbia. Mr. Miles Hughes professed to be a farmer but was sorry for it sometimes, and wished his parents had brought him up in some other occupation. He knew nothing of the purpose of the call whether there was more religion or politics in it; but he thought every fanner should go to Columbia himself, then we could see whether there was politics* in it or not. Nobody could trust another man with his pocket book and therefore should go himself. Every one had a right to express him self whether educated or not. lie did not object to a delegation but would not allow himself to uc tied up. Mr. J. T. Kennerly thought it was time to enter upon business and asked how many delegates were allowed. Being informed that live was the num ber, he moved that the convention pro ceed at once to elect them by ballot. Mr. Austin in seconding this motion said that although we were assembled in a farmers' convention, we were not selfish and our programme should be "to live and let live." It was impossi ble to separate our work from politics and we were obliged to abide by what ever the politicians do, for if we sink it will be through our law-makers. Five delegates having been already appointed from the Agricultural Socie ty, he was willing to send five more and to abide by their action. lie saw five gentlemen in the house whom he could trust for whatever may he done in Columbia could not be final. If other gentlemen desired to attend that con vention he had no objection. Mr. W. A. Mackey moved to amend Mr. Kennedy's motion by inserting the words: And that the live candidates receiving the highest number of votes be declared elected and that the nomi nations be restricted to ten. The mo tion of Mr. Kennerly as amended was then read as follows:" Resolved, That this convention pro ceed at once to elect by ballot live dele gates to represent this county in the fanners convention to assemble in Co lumbia on the 29 instant, and that the five receiving the highest number of votes be declared elected and that the three next be declared alternates. Maj. W. A. O'Cain atthispoint raised the question as to who should be allow ed to participate in these deliberations; because gentlemen, members of the Agricultural Society, were supporting this measure. He only raised the point to be informed and asked for the infor mation. The President ruled that members of the Agricultural Society could participate in the discussion but could not vote. Mr. W. A. Mackay, excited, said he was a farmer of Orangeburg County and, because he happens to be a mem ber of the Agricultural Society, he is to be debarred by the President's ruling of a voice in" this meeting. Such a thing was an outrage. He had been instrumental in calling this very meeting and yet he is to be shut out and allowed no part or voice in saying who of his fellow citizens should repre sent him and his interest. In all his life he had never heard of such a high handed measure and it was nothing more or less than an outrage upon the farming interest of the county. Mr. Austin moved that all fanners be allowed to participate and to vote in the proceeding of this meeting. This motion being carried, Mr. Ken nedy's resolution was adopted and the convention proceeded to the election, which resulted as follows: Delegates, Messrs. .). II. Felder, J. IT. Dukes, a. D Fair, L. S. Connor and v. v S. Austin. Alternates, Messrs. J, T. Kennerly, W. a. Mackay, lt. F. Win and Dr. lt. W. Bates. By motion the highest vote was made unanimous aud the convention adjourned.

Agkicultukal Society.?A quar-J terlv meeting of this Society will be held" on Saturday, 8th of May. at Sheridan's School House. A full meet ing is desired. Hkai.thy (i-ii:r?s.-Nothing, says Dio Lewis, is so terrible as severe neuralgia; and, beyond a doubt, girls acquire it often enough by the condi tions of school life. Headache in a school girl usually means exhausted nervo power through over-work, over excitement, over-anxiety, or bad air. Rest, a good laugh, a country walk, will 'usually cure it readily enough to begin with. Hut to become subject to "headaches is a very serious matter; and all such nervous diseases have a nasty tendency to recur, to become periodic, to be set up by the same cause, to be come an organic habit of the body. For any woman. to become liable to neuralgia is a most terrible thing. It means that while it lasts lifeisnot worth having. It paralyzes the power to work, it deprives her of the power to enjoy anything, it tends toward irrita bility of" temper, it .tempts the use of narcotics and stimulants. So says Dr. Nelson, and so say I. A girl who finds herself subject to neuralgia should at once change her habits, if but to grow strong in body. Of what use is educa tion with ill health ? A happy girl must be a healthy one. The Greeks educated their girls physically; we edu cate ours mentally. The Greek inotb.es bore the finest children the world ever produced. The Greek education of girls developed beautiful women, and their beauty lasted till old age. The beautiful Helen was as handsome at fifty as at "sweet sixteen." Tins Comet.?A comet is now visible in the morning skies, and it can be seen any clear morning with the naked eye from 2 o'clock until dawn blots it from view. It is the comet discovered by Fabry at Paris, France, on Decem ber 1st last. With a telescope the comet is a beautiful object, with a tail some five degrees or six degrees long, very slender and neatly shaped. A bright starlike nucleus shines in the head and is surrounded by a nebulous glow of light. A group of small stars can be seen some distance back of the head shining through the gauzy train with out any diminution of "their lustre. The comet is a conspicuous object and will, after to-day, be visible in the evening, sitting less than an hour after the sun, but it will be 5u0 times as bright as when discovered, which may somewhat compensate for the disad vantage of its being seen on a twilight sky. The comet will then be moving very rapidly toward the Southwest. col. Lee IIaoood, Manager South Carolina Branch of the Valley Mutual Life Association of Virginia, on Thurs day last received a check to pay the policy for 32,000 on the life of the late Rev. C. C. Fishburne, of Summerton, Clarendou County, and on Monday one for 33,000 to pay the policy of the late J. A. Davis, of Doves vi He, Darlington County. Both these claims were paid about six weeks before they were legally due. This should be a sufficient refutation of the charge of some of the former agents of the Valley Mu tual who are now working for the Inter States that the Valley Mutual is weakening, and our advise is to stick to the Valley Mutual and let the Inter States severely alone until they can show some assets to meet their liabili ties.

They Have Come and Gone.?We arc called upon this week to chronicle the departure from our midst, of the Horse'Shoe Bed Spring Company, who for the last two months have been sup plying our County with the famous House-Shoe Bed-Springs. These gentle men came to us highly recommended, both as workmen and business men, and most creditably have they sustain ed the recommendation. Their springs have given entire satisfaction to all.
