? LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. EXAMINE YOUR DATES. We request each of ouf subscribers to examine the address on his paper, and particularly to observe the date upon it. This date shows the time up to which the paper has beetl paid for. Many of our subscribers will thu? see that they have paid in advance; but there are many others who will dis cover that they have not. Bailed.?Mr. Marshall Amaker, who has been confined in jail for some time on the charge of murder, has been ad mitted to bail bv Jud^e Wetherspoon. The bond, which was for 85,000, was signed by his four brothers. Reunion?There will be a reunion of theSecond Regiment South Carolina Volunteer Artillery at Rranchville, S. C, on Thursday, the 1st of July. All surviving members of the regiment are requested to attend, and bring their baskets. Prominent gentlemen are ex pected to deliver addresses on the occa sion. Death of Mr. V. S. Hutto.?Mr. V. S. Hutto, a resident of the Fork Section of our County, died on the 24th of April last. He was a consis tent member of the Methodist Church, and exemplefied the tenets of the Chris tian faith in his Jife, and his widow and little ones have the satisfaction of knowing that it is well with him. Citeap Enough.?Every once in a while one of our subscribers wants to know why we don't publish a cheaper paper. Such talk does not surprise us at all, as we are satisfied that if we were giving the paper away these same parties would want to know why we didn't throw in chromos. Our naper is the cheapest country paper in1 i estate, and can be published no cheaper. Excursion- to Chakleston ?The oflicers and members of Bethel Sunday School propose going on an excursion to Charleston on the 23d of June. The price of tickets has been fixed at the low rate of $1.00 for adults and fifty cents for children. This excursion will present an excellent opportunity for those desiring to visit the city to do so. Tickets for sale at Lowman & Dukes. Picnic?There was a big picnic at Shiloh Church on Thursday last. During the day a game of base ball was played between the Cattle Creek Club and the Shiloh Club, which resulted in a victory for the latter by a score of 20 to 24, ? gentleman who participated in the festivities of the occasion says the dinner was one of the finest he ever saw. Every body had a good time, and the day passed off most pleasantly. Stop My Papep. !?Every once in a while a subscriber, who seems to think that, because he pays one dollar and a half a year, he has a controlling inter^ est in the concern, gets mad with the editor because something goes in the paper that his superior wisdom tells him is wrong, aha because the bull headed editor can't see it exactly as he does, he very pompously orders his paper stopped. We have often wonder ed the sensation experienced by these eminently wise men when they see the paper and its bull-headed editor go right on prospering, notwithstaning the withdrawal of their valuable sup port. A Rascal.?We have received the following enquiry concerning Rev. A. J. Stokes, who at one time was the pastor of the colored Baptist Church of our town. Thp letter is dated Clarksville. Tenn., June ?, and reads as follows: "You will please do me a favor by giving mo the standing of one A, J. Stokes, who came here from your State, and has married another woman here. I heard that he had a wife and child in your State. Is it so':" We hope some member of Stokes' church here will send the necessary informa tion to either Wm. Webster or If. W. Smith, at Clarksville, Tenn. The ras ' cal ought to be punished. Who are the Candidates ??We have been asked by our country friends if there were any candidates" in this county for otlice at the ensuing elec tion. To speak upon our positive knowledge, there are but few who have announced their intentions so far, but rumor says that "the woods are full of them," and they are willing to take any office they can get, no nratter how insignificant it may be. Probably a month or two more will see them showing themselves on every side?at least just as soon as they find that the primary election system'is to be adopt ed in this county this year as the means of settling upon the nominees. Cowiiided.?A correspondent writ ing from Bamberg to the Xews and Courier says some excitment prevails in the neighborhood of Hunter's Chapel over the cowhidingof Mr. John Steed ley by Messrs. W. T. Connelly and A. L. Ott. It seems that Steedley had been circulating false and damaging reports concerning Connelly's sister." In order to obtain full satisfaction lor the offence Messrs. Connelly and Ott pur chased a S2.50 whalebone whip, waited upon Mr. Steedley and administered about thirty lashes, wearing the whip complet ely out. It is said that Steedley has become reconciled to his fate, since calling upon a trial justice ami being advised that in case a lawsuit was entered against Messrs. Connelly and Ott other punishment would probably] be inflicted for circulating reports j equally false and damaging concerning other persons.

It is a great pity that all the wise men in the county who want office can't get it. We have no personal fight to make against any one. That is not the mis sion of this paper. Who wants to be dog catcher? The position won't pay much, but there will be lots of fun in it. So far, we believe, every section of our county has been visited by timely and refreshing showers. Opportunities are ? importunities. They are like flowers that fade at night; seize them, therefore, while they last. Scorn not thy fellow-creature; there is some spark of good yet left in every man, even though he*be lying in the veriest mire. While we do not want an office our self, we are ready to assist any one that does. Our charge is only ;?5~ Send in your card. If you want to take a cheap trip to Charleston call at Lowman and Dukes and buy a ticket for the grand excur sion on the 23rd instant. 1. is pretty cheeky in a man who has been a standing candidate for forty years or more to question the right of any one to run for ollice. Miss 11. S. Albergotti requests her pupils to meet her at the house former ly occupied by Judge Glover, Monday morning, June 14th. at nine o'clock. The people will be called upon next Fall to elect five Representatives, Pro bate Judge, School Commissioner, three County Commissioners and Coroner. We tender our thanks to Mr. T. W. Collier, of Middle St. Matthews, for a box of delicious peaches. They were the ?rst wo have seen this season and were enjoyed. Superintendent Rounds, of the Orange Mills, who has been quite sick, we are pleased to say has been much improv ed by a trip off. We hope in; will soon be himself again. We had the honor of a visit last Mon day from the veteran editor of the Christian Neighbor, the Rev. S;'i II. Brown. We were pleased to see our old friend looking so well. The man who says we want an office is mistaken. As we know him to be an old chronic otlice seeker we publish this paragraph to assue him that so far as we are concerned he has a clear field. We had the pleasure of meeting in town last Saturday, J. L. Weber, Esq., of the News and Courier staff. Mr. Weber is a talented young journalist, and we predict for him a brilliant future. Dr. O. II. Ott, of Rranehville, is spoken of for the Legislature by his friends. Dr. Ott is one of our most honored citizens and The Times and Democrat would be glad to see him elected. * The farmer who expects to succeed at all this year, has no time now to de vote to politics. Grass and crops will absorb his undivided attention for sev eral weeks to come. Abundant success to them all. Our young friends, B. F. Keller and W. C. Wolfe, students at Woftord Col lege, will please accept our thanks for an invitation to attend the commence ment exercises of that institution on tho 13th instant. It is now June, and the light for the mastery between the small boy and the green apple, will soon begin. The green apple is much smaller than the boy, but it generally manages to "get thar" all the same. We know a few men that we would like to see in the Legislature. They belong to a certain class of individuals that will learn only by experience, and we are very anxious that they should have the opportunity. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish. The Times and Democrat is Democratic to the core. It has its po licical opinions and expects to stand by them, allowing however, every one the same blessed privilege. A sentimental writer says "a baby is a link which binds its moiher to hea ven." Pretty often it is a link which binds her t? the house when she is "almost dying" to go out making calls or to do a little shopping. The Time.-, and Democrat feel complimented by the additions that has been made to its subscription list since last January. If the rate of increase continues, by next January we will bave at least two thousand subscribers. A city's growth depends in every case upon the devotion of its people to its interests, and that devotion can be shown in no mr -" satisfactory and sub stantial way than by patronizing home merchants, home industry, home talent and home enterprise. Inlurination is wanted by Mrs. Mc Culleu of the whereabouts of her hus band, 13. F. McCullen, a printer, who she mourns as dead. Any information of him will be thankfully received by Iiis troubled wife. Any information of bis whereabouts mav be sent to Mrs. B. F. McCullen, Beaufort, X. C. This is about the time for housekeep ers to begin bragging about their gar dons. About two months from now they will begin to complain that they have no vegetables to eat. Now is a good time to plant more beans, beets, I squashes, carrots, cucumbers, pump kins and cabbages. They will come in handy for company, candidates and home folks. If we give a man a puff, be never sees it, but let one line go in the paper that he does not like, and he sees it be | lore the paper is off the press; and ; while lie would not have time to stop ! on the street and say "thank you." he h'jstime to race all over town and de j nounce the editor.

Very trulv vours, T. A. JEFFORDS. Orangeburg, S. C, June 9th, 18SG. A DISASTROUS FIRE. Narrow Escape of G'npt. .TeiVonN and .Family from their Burning Residence. A lire occurred here during lust Monday morning which entailed con siderable loss of property, and came very near resulting in the loss of several lives. The alarm of (ire was sounded at 2 o'clock that morning and it was very soon ascertained that the large two-story dwelling near the rail road, and occupied by Capt. T. A'. Jeffords, with his family and other friends, was enveloped in flames. All the members of the family with the ex ception of Mr. W. (i. Albergotti and a little lad, occupied rooms in the second story of the building. Mr. W. G. Al bergotti, who with the lad, occupied a room on the first floor, was aroused by the cracking of llames, and being sick: sent the lad who was sleeping with him up stairs to awake the family and aprize them of the fact that the house was on lire. The lire made rapid pro gress about the stairs, under which it had originated. After the family up stairs were aroused it was found im possible for them to escape by the stairway, as the lire had completely en veloped it by this time. On the upper tloor were Capt. Jeffords, Mayor J. S. Albergotti, Mrs. Jeffords, Miss S. R. Albergotti, Mrs. Susan Albergotti, Mr. Theodore Jeffords and seven small children, <dl of whom were now com pletely cut off by the llames, and had to be rescued by means of a ladder, which was put in position by Messrs. W. G. Albergotti, J. T. Butler and James C. Dickson. Up to this time but few people had reached the scence of the lire, and it required the utmost cool ness ani< the greatest exertion to rescue the inmates from their perilous condi tion. This, however, was done by the almost superhuman efforts of the gentlemen present. Capt. Jeffords, re mained at the head of the ladder until every member of the family hud been safely assisted to the ground, and, be ing almost wrapped in a sheet of flame, had his hands severely burned. Xot a moment's warning was given these persons, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were enabled to rush from their sleeping apartments and make their escape in the manner indicated. With the exception of a few articles of furniture on the first lloor, Capt. Jeffords and his family lost everything. He had no insurance. Miss" Rebecca S. Albergotti, the princi pal of the academy for young ladios, lost everything she possessed except her watch, which she took from her pillow as she left the burning room. Mrs. Susan E. Albergotti, principal of the public school here, and Messrs. W. G. and J. C. Albergotti lost everything they owned. Other members of the family lost heavily, and no member of the household succeeded in saving eve., ... suit of clothes. Their loss is complete, and the family is temporarily in destitution. The building, which belonged to the estate of KTuck, of Charleston, is insured. The amount could not be ascertained. Outside of this there was no insurance. The fbss will, in all probability, reach 85,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. Laziness.?The Southern Live-Stock Journal finishes a talk about crows in this manner : There is a pest far worse than any crow, that attacks ourfstfeis and tears up all it can of the fruits of our labor. It is the demon of laziness, lie has been fought in various ways, yet he gains ground all the time. lie works in a very sly way. He comes and whispers in the boy's ear a beauti ful story about the pleasure of city life. Whenever the sun is hot, he points out the pleasant shade under the trees. Hedulls the conscience by closing the eyes and forcing sleep upon the mind." He comes and tells the girls that dairy work is vulgar and that they should not work at all. There is no one, weak or strong, high or low, rich or pool, that he does not try to injure. How shall we light him? Scarecrows and bells and strings will not lnjui .him in the least. We must frighten bin), and there is a way to do that. He is afraid of work, and when be sees a man taking off his coat he crawls into his hole, The only way to keep him away from our farms and homes is to make labor fashionable, to put intelli gence and common sense into it. If we can do this, our homes will be made secure. Mellichami-'s High School.?The closing exercises of this School will take place as follows : Monday, June Utk.?Examination in Geography, History, Grammar, Read ing, Mental Arithmetic, Latin and French, at Schoolhouse, from {iVz o'clock A.

Death ok Mi:. Cutting, okSumter. The Sumter correspondent of the News and Courier under date of the 5th instant, says: "Mr. W. II. Cuttino, Clerk of Court for Sumter County; died after an illness of three weeks at his residence in ibis town, at 4 o'clock this morning. Mr. Cuttino was tone of our most popular and influential citizens, and bis death is deeply deplored by all! classes of cit i/.ens. 1 iosides filling van- { mis other offices of trust, he was chair-1 man of tite Democracy in this county during the campaign of 1881. lie was far many years a consistent and work ing member of the IJapti&t Church, and was one of the pillars of that denomi nation in this section of the State, lie i was also a great temperance worker, having at one time held the Ollice of Grand Worthy Chief Templar of this! state." 1 f we mistake not, Air. Cuttino wasason of the Rev. D. W. Cuttino, whose lamented death we recorded last1 week.

An armless child was born at Browns ville, Pennsylvania, last week. Ex-Speaker Keifer of Ohio finds pri vate life so tiresome that he is willing to again sacrifice himself on the Con gressional altar. Since the change of gauge on the Southern roads cars can now run with out change from New York to Califor nia, Texas or Florida. Somebody has discovered that Mrs. Grover Cleveland was not born when the battle of Manassas was fought. She will not be 22 until July 21st, Gen. P. P.

As John Kelly is borne to the grave to join McClellah, Seymour, Ilendricks and Hancock, the fountain of health at Greystone drops another twinkling tear P. \V. Wagener &, Co., of Charleston, have subscribed a thousand dollars to the Blackville and Alston Railroad. Other Charleston merchants have also taken stock in less amounts. Chester Reporter : This is the season,4 of the year when a town fellow who puts on his bl?k coat and takes a ride into the country on Sunday is asked what office he is going to run for. A petition favoring the appointment of a prominent Charleston lawyer to the United States District Judgeship for South Carolina, in the event of a vacancy, has been put in circulation. The New Haven Register says : "In an article on Yale yesterday, for 'alum water' 'alma mater." This is as bad as the Iowa editor's erratum; "In poem on our first page, for 'dirty shirt' read 'duty shirk. A three-year-old girl fell from tho balcony on the fourth floor of a Hart ford house the other day, but she struck squarely across a clothes line stretched from the third floor, and the rebound threw her into a balcony there almost unhurt. Newberry Observer: Mrs. Thos. J.. Maffett of "Silver Street has a hen that takes core of one hundred and seventy young chickens and one little turkey. The young chickens are of three or four sizes and have been deserted by their mothers. "Mosquitoes have seldom been thick er in Virginia than this spring." says the Mil ford Chronicle, and it goes on to tell of a ewe that was literally bled to death the other night, the pest's attacking its udder, which was dis tended with milk. A Nebraska postmaster having been charged with being "roaring drunk," admitted the impeachment on two specifications. One was the time of G rover Cleveland's election, the other was when the Republican postmaster was turned out and he was put in. A California farmer sent S? to a man in the East in exchange for six gourd seeds warranted to produce gourds of a capacity of forty gallons. After wait ing long for the seeds to sprout, he investigated and found that they were artistically carved out of basswo'od. The Gazette says it is stated for a solemn fact that a former trial justice in Berkeley county almost invariably charged the witnesses in cases tried by Lhim fifty cents for the privilege of ! testifying. In that way he made more money than by his legitimate earnings. Judge T. W. Hooper, judge of Mun roe county, Ark., has gone to the State penitentiary to stay two years, having i been convicted of issuing fraudulent county scrip. He will doubtless have a cheerful meeting with some of the people he sentenced to the penitential" himself. Herr John Most, the anarchist, was ou Thursday sentenced to the peniten tiary for one year and fined $500. His associate, Baunschineg, goi nine months in the penitentiary and lined S2?u. Schenck was sent to the peniten tiary for nine months but was not. lined. A dweller on the banks of tho Codo rus, in Pennsylvania, ties short lines with baited fishhooks to the legs of his geese and drives them into the water.

In Chicago on Thursday a copper bomb about twelve inches long, fully charged and operated by clock work, was found under the sidewalk in front of Thomas Grief's saloon. The works were going when the officer discovered it, but he lifted it very tenderly and took it to the central station.

Scott has been asked to resign his pastorate of the First Congregational Church of Evanston, Illinois. The charges against him generally are neglect of pastoral duties and lack of interest in church work. Specifically, he is charged with riding a tricycle" and smoking cigars in the public streets. A correspondent of the Greenville News recently asserted that Congress man Aiken was "scheming to make Judge Cothran his successor." In a card to the Newberry Observer Colonel Aiken says : "It would probably be bordering on the vulgar to say that the author of that paragraph lies, but he (Iocs nevertheless."_ Simmons' Hepatic Compound or Liver Cure. 11 Bkoad St., CiiAni.eton.

I The cotton crop, which was so promis j ing, bus been almost a total loss, and in : many instances will be plowed up and planted in some, other crop.

The South' Carolina Railway Keeping up The motive power of the South Caro lina Railway Company has been in creased by the addition of ten new lo comotives which have just been re ceived from the Baldwin Works. The engines were built according to the specifications of the company, and are first-class in every respect, embracing all the latest improvements for secur ing speed and power. They havo all been placed in the company's Round house on Spring street, where they are being put together. Four of the locomohives, numbers 13, 14,15 and 16, are fast passenger engines and will bo used to pull the fast mail and passenger trains on the Columbia and Augusta divisions of the road. They are built especially for speed, and will, it is said, make as high as sixty miles an hour if necessary, as they are provided with 16 by 24-inch cylinders and driving wheels 5 feet 8 inches in diameter. Two excursion engines have also been brought out for use in front of heavy excursion trains or fast freight trains. They are built with 17 by 24 jiuch cylinders and 5-foot driving I v/heels. The other four new locomo tives are regular freight engines with 17 by 24-inch cylinders and 44-inch driving wheels. These locomotives are as fine speci mens of the "iron horse" as one could wish to see, being made of the very best material and equipped with all the latest improvements, such as Krupp steel tires, double riveted boilers of Otis still 7-16 of an inch in thickness, Westinghouse air brakes, and tenders with wrought iron frames and tanks of 3,000 gallons capacity. The headlights are made according to the Handland patent, being so arranged as to show the.number of the engine at night. Tho new engines will all be tested as soon as thoy have been put together, and will be placed in service on' the road immediately after if they are found satisfactory. They will prove a valuable, addition to the motive power of the road, as ten of the old locomo tives will be condemned on account of being too small for the company's busi ness. "With the new locomotives, how ever, the company will now have a total of forty-four engines, allot' which are in fine condition, the old ones having been thoroughly overhauled and repaired while being changed to suit the narrow gauge. Mr. P. J. Cochrane. the master of machinery, re ports that the rolling stock of the" road is now in better condition than it has been at any time since the opening of i the road in 1829.?News and Courier. Petekson's Magazine for July is brimful of beautitul things. The first embellishment, "The Rival Bells," rep resenting three lovely women, is a steel-engraving in the highest style of art, and alone worth the price of the number. It is followed by a double sized colored steel fashionplate; by an exquisite colored pattern, a-la-Japanese, for a portfolio-cover; and by some fifty wood engravings of fashions, em brodfcry, etc. The hferh character of "Peterson" for giving the best original stories is more than maintained in this number. An unusually powerful novelet, "The Corsair's Captives," will make everyone impatient for the next chapters. "Mrs. Lucy H. Ilooper has a weird story, Prank Lee Benedict a charming [tale. "A Story of Two Kisses" is even better than its title fore-shadows. Mrs. Stephens's "Mil lionn' "c's Daughter" increases in inter est a I force. Every lady ought to take "Peterson." it is perfect, as a .idy's book. Xow is a good time to subscribe, a new volume beginning with this number. The terms are but two dollars a year, with great deduc tions to clubs, viz : A club of three for $5,25, with an extra copy for a year for getting up the club. Other cliibs arc still more enticing, with more cortly premiums. Specimens are sent gratis, with full particulars, to those wishing to get up clubs. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Steert, Phlla delphia, Pa. A New Idea About Corn.?An ex I change tells of a man who plants two or three weeks after the crop is planted, a new hill of corn every fifteenth row j each way. And this is "the reason : If the weather becomes dry after the fill ing time, the silk and tassels both be I come dry and dead. In this condition, if it should become seasonable, the silk revives its growth, but the tassels do not recover. Then, lor want of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the office for which-it was designed. The pollen from the replanted corn is then ready to supply silk, and the filling is com pleted, ile says nearly all the abortive ears, so common in all corn crops, are caused by the want of pollen, and he has known ears to double their size in this filling. Mad Doos ix Aiken.?A correspon dent writing to the News and Courier, from Aiken says : "Our town has been favored with an early visit from mad dogs. On Thursday night last Mr. II. C. Ludekens, Jr., "was bitten, and on Friday morning Mrs. R. W. Dicks was bruised, but fortunately the skin was not broken, by a mad dog. which was not killed by the police until he had bitten several others. The town coun cil at their meeting this evening will doubtless see that the dog law is en forced, that the most innocent dog shall wear a muzzle as a piece of pre ventive? justice, if not as a'badge of fraud." Shutting the stable door after the horse is gone don't do much good. Our town council was wiser. They believe that prevention is better than cure.
