New Cotton.?A New Y^rk dis patch dated July 16 says : " i he first bale of new crop Texas cotton is re ported at Galveston to-day, showing an arrival one week ahead of last year."

Stone Wiggins, the weather prophet, insists that the great storm he predicted for this fall will be on hand. He says he does not anticipate any further great change in the weather until fall. "September,'' he says, "will open cool and stormy, premonitory to my great storm, commencing- on the afternoon of September 20, and the great war of 'dements will come as sure as the sun is in the heavens.

Don't whisper in church,young folks; it is annoying, and it is disrespectful. Major McSweeney's marriage is another awful warning to Brother Holmes. You always hear of the man who draws the big prize in a lottery, but you never meet him. We are to bear one another's burdens because of the burdens, and not be cause we expect a return.

Alas, for those young ladies who have just had their hair amputated. "What misery must they endure for a time! The bravest are not always the ten derest, as the poet's sing.

The Town Council of Xe^erry are enforcing the law against vagrancy, and, as a consequence, the lazy loafers who have heretofore infested the town have left for other parts.

Editor Times and Democrat : Permit me to take the first opportu nity o!' sincerelly thanking you for your complimentary notice of the farm at tached to the Clatllin University which you arc kindly pleased to call "The Model Farm." I appreciate the inter est on your part which induced you to pay us a visit to the farm, by which you could personally satisfy yourself as to its working and * prosperity. These kindly notices are highly gratifying always, and 1 beg again to express my gratitude for your calling attention to the "Model Farm" in your valuable pa per. Yours" respectfully, Question* <kecl and Answered. Editor Times and Democrat: At a meeting of Pope Spring Demo cratic Club held at Cedar Grove school house, July 10th, the following letter was unanimously adopted and ordered to be sent to the gentlemen named, Messrs. C. G. Dantzler and TJiomas M. Raysor: Gentlemen*.?As your names have been published in the newspapers as two of Orangeburg's Repses'entatives that will be returned to the Legisla ture, we respectfull ask you to reply to the following questions: First. Are you in favor of the estab lishment of an Agricultural and Me chanical College separate and distinct from the South Carolina University? ' Second. Are you in favor of abolish ing free tuition in the South Carolina University ? Third. Are you in favor of re-organ ising the State Department of Agricul ture on the plan proposed by the Farm ers Convention? Fourth. Are you in favor of abolish ing the Citadel Academy? Fifth. Are you in favor of the repeal cf the Lien Law? Sixth. Are you in favor of calling a Constitutional Convention? R. W. Bates, President. Frederick Evans, Secretary. Orangeburg, S. C. July 16th, 1886. Frederick Evans, Esq., Secretary Pope Spring Democratic Club: Dear Sir.?Yours of the 10th inst. was received by me on the 13th, and would have been answered sooner had it not been for Mr. Raysor's absence in another county. While I am not aware of having been announced as a candidate, yet, occupy ing a public position by the suffrages of the people of Orangeburg County, I respectfully submit answers to the fol lowing questions propounded by your club, 1 have no reluctance whatever in answering them, andtonsider it to be the duty of every public man to express his opinion, without "straddling the fence," ..henever called upon to do so; | and. when not instructed by his con stituents, to be true to his own convic tions in dealing with all public ques tions. Your club has asked certain plain questions, and I will endeavor to an swer them calmly and in a direct man ner. It is asked First. "Are you in favor of the es tablishment of an Agricultural and Mechanical College separate and dis tinct from the South Carolina Univer sity ?" This prospective college is said to be for the benefit of the farming population of the State and is one of the objects sought to be accomplished by what i3 known as the "Fanners' Movement." The cost* of it will neces sarily be borne, for the most part, by the farmers. If beneficial to them it will be useful to the State and when established, should be "separate and distinct from the South Carolina Uni versity." The Mississippi CoRege has been successful and I cannot under stand why such a college in this State should not be equally so. I believe such an institution would tend to re vive the agricultural interests of our Sta-. Second. "Are you in favor of abol ishing free tuition in the South Caroli na University?" Iam not; anu there are good reasons "for the faith that is in me." Third. "Are you in favor of re-or ganizing the State Department of Agri culture on tho plan proposed by the Farmers' Convention?" 1 am. I be lieve the Agricultural Department ought to be made" efficient and should be controlled by the farmers. Fourth. "Are you in favor of abol ishing the Citadel Academy ?" I am. One institution for higher education is sufficient to meet the demands of our people. Fifth. "Are you in favor of Repeal ing the Lien Law?" Iam. That law has outlived its usefulness. Sixth. "Are you in favor of calling a constitutional Convention?" I am not. The same objects can be accom plished with very much less cost to the people by amending the Constitution; and I doubt very much the wisdom of making any radical change in the or ganic law of our State at this time. i This completes the list of questions contained in your letter. I trust they have been plainly answered and tin my position will be understood. Very respectfully, &c, C. G. Dantzler. Frederick Evans, Esq., Secretary Pope Spring Democratic Club: Dear Sir.?I have just returned, and beg leave to say that I concur with Charles G. Dantzler, Esq., in his an swers to the questions propounded by your club, and conveyed in your letter of the 10th inst.. except as to question Fourth, "Are you in favor of abolishing the Citadel Academy?" 1 am not in favor of the al lolition of that, Institution under the circumstances that now exist. Yours truly, Thomas M. Raysor. Zion Democratic Club.

The prima ry system of election was unanimously adopted. The following preamble <?nd resol utions was read and endorsed: Whereas, the Middle Ten Democratic Club as a body of loyal Democrats, stand ready and willing at all times to : oppose any and all moves which tends to the disruption of the party, but at the same time believing there are reforms I needed in certain departments of the [State and County governments, and believing that such reforms can be ob tained through and by the united ef forts of the honest and patriotic mem bers of the party; and whereas, we as a body do denounce class legislation, and believing that free tuition in the State College tends towards class leg islation, and holds out no inducements nor offers no premium on industry, but holds out free tuition to a clasical, lit erary or professional college, to such young men of the State, only as have been able to prepare themselves to enter su6h college and are able to pay their board. And, whereas we believe that in the proposed agricultural college, class legislation could not exist to the same extent and that such a college would be open to all classes and would offer a premium or reward on industry inas much as it would offer an education to all such as are not able to pay, but are possessed with the manhood, enterprise, energy and industry to work for it, and believing that in such classes of our citizen, their are material only lacking for a chance of on education to become useful and honorable citizens, and that an education thus obtained would be more highly praised and of more benefit than one furnished without much effort on the part of the possessor. And whereas we believe the military department of the proposed agricultur al college would fully take the place of the Citadel Academy, and notwith standing the regret which we would experience in parting with the time honored institute yet we believe under the circumstances it would be wisdom and economy on the part of the State to abolish the same. And whereas we as a body of Democrats can see no in tent on the part of the Farmers' Move ment tending to a disruption of the Democratic purty, but on the other hand only an effort inside of the party for reform which shall in time we trust redound to the good of the whole peo ple. Therefore be it resalved : First, That we as an organized club of Democrats do heartily endorse the intent of the Farmers' Movement and do solicit the co-operation of all good citizens in forwarding the same," Second. That we regret very much to i see the coldness and indifference exer cised on the part of some of our best citi zens in reference to the Farmers' Move ment, and at the same time rejoice to see that our county paper, Tim Times and Demociiat, has at last declared in favor of the Farmers' Movement.

Baptist Sunday School Convention. The Orangeburg County Baptist Sunday School Convention met on last Friday with the Canaan Baptist Church in the Fork and closed its work on Sunday. This session of the Convention has been the most prosper ous since its organization, the repre sentation of Sunday schools and visi tors being much larger, and an unusual degree of interest being exhibited. The Convention was called to order on Fri day at 11 o'clock by Rev. W. F. Chap lin, the First Vice-President. The delegates being tffen enrolled.aperman ent organization was effected by the election of the following officers: President, Rev. T. M. Galphin; Vice Presidents, Revs. W. F. Chaplin and W. J. Snider; Secretary, Stiles R. Melli champ; Treasurer, J. P. Bruce. . It should be stated here that this Con vention is not confined, as its name imply, to the bounds of Orangeburg County. It also embraces Sunday schools from Barn well and Colleton Counties. The Introductory sermon on Friday morning by Rev. W. D. Mc Millan, of Barnvvell. Mr. McMillan is a gentleman of fine culture and a mem ber of the Board of School Examiners of Barnwell County. He very appro priately selected education as the sub ject of his discourse and gave his hear ers a rich feast to enjoy and profit by. The rest of the morning of Friday was devoted to the appointment of com mittees and other routine business. On Friday night a very large congrega tion assembled .at the church to hear an excellent sermon from Rev. A. P. Norris. The Convention met again on Saturday morning and after the regu lar business entered upon the discus sion of the questions for debate. The first question discussed was, "What is the best way to induce parents to take an interest in the Sunday School?" This question was discussed by Revs. Chaplin and McMillan. The next question was, "What is the best way to interest children in the Sunday School ?" This question was discussed by Revs. Snider, McMillan and Galphin. Both questions elicited considerable interest and the able and pointed dis cussions were listened to with marked attention by the audience. On Satur day night the church was again pack ed to hear a feeling disaourse by Rev. W. F. Chaplin. On Sunday morning a Mass Meeting for the children was held. On this occasion the crowd was so immense that scarcely half of the people could obtain seats in the church. This meeting was addressed by Rev. W. J. Snider, S. R. Mellichamp and Rev. W. D. McMillan. All the speeches were pointed, spirited and interesting, and well calculated to do much good. At 11 o'clock the Missionary sermon was preached by Rev. T. M. Galphin. To those who know this speaker it is unnecessary to say|that the sermon was able, eloquent and impressive. After sermon the Convention again assem bled and during the singing of the fami liar and touching hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds, &c," the members took the parting hand to meet again next July at Jamison. The excellent sing ing during the Convention, which ad ded so much to the interest of the meeting was under the leadership of Mr. C. C. Elzey. Too mach cannot be said of the hospitality of the commu nity. The houses of all, Methodist and Baptist alike, were open, and in many a home upwards of forty or fifty per sons were accommodated at once. Be sides the inspiration given by the an nual meeting together of Sundav school workers, this Convention is also doing a good work by giving ma terial aid to poor and struggling mis sion Sunday schools. The cause is a noble one, and we hope that the Con vention will long live and prosper. Anot her Suntluy Sc hool Convention. . The Sunday School Convention of The Lcwisville Circuit was held at Lime stone Campground on the l'Cth and 17th instants, Rev. J. C. Stoll, the pastor, prcsi'^d, and Mr. Ed. Houscr acted as Seen u-y. Subjects relating to Sunday School and its work were discussed by .lie delegates from the dill'erent churches during Friday and Saturday morning. On the afternoon of Saturday was held the closlug exercises when Capt. II. G. Sheridan, by invivation, addressed the Convention. Capt. Sheridan is an earnest Sunday School worker, and his speech on this occasion was well de livered and listened to with marked at tention by all present. A bountiful picnic dinuer was served on Saturday, and the large crowd in attendance en joyed the hospitality of the good peo ple of that section, who were unre mitting in their efforts to make every one feel at home. This Convention was only an experiment, but from the interest manifested and the good evi dently done, it is proposed to make it a permanent feature in the economy of this Circuit, and it should be a good thing if other Circuits would follow the worthy example thus set by the Lcwis ville Circuit, and inaugurate similar meetings. All work of this kink will receive the warm and cordial support of this paper. List of unclaimed letters remaining at the. post office at Orangeburg, s. (;.. lor the week ending .July 17. 18610.
