LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Skating Rink.?Mr.'J. E. DeLorme, of Columbia, S. C, will open a roller skating rink at Way's Hall this even ing. Lovers of the sport can take notice and govern themselves accord ingly. Gin House Burned.?Mrs. F. E. Keller's gin house in Middle St. Matthews was entirely destroyed by fire last week. She l?st a number of bales of cotton and all the machinery. We did not learn how the lire originat ed. A Heavy Loss.?We regret to hear of the serious loss sustained by our friend, Mr. Jno. C. Reeves, of Branch ville, last week. He had his entire out buildings, together with the year's crop of corn, fodder, &c, destroyed by fire last Wednesday night week. This is a heavy blow. More Shocks.?Last Thursday morn ing at eight o'clock a distinct earth quake shock was felt in Orangeburg. The shock was very slight and lasted only a second or two. The shocks seems to be getting weaker and weaker ard we confidently hope that ere long they will cease altogether. Important to Tax-Payers?For the benefit of all concerned we are au thorized to announce that the time for Saying taxes will expire on the 15th of ?ecember, and that date will positively be the last day. After that date the penalty will be attached to all persons who have failed to pay their dues. The Beautiful Snow?Old winter struck us in dead earnest last Friday. On that day the cold wave arrived promptly on schedule time, which was followed Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights by sleet, snow and rain until the whole face of the country was covered in a mantle of white. We hope the freeze did not kill the young oats. pneumonia.?We hear of considera ble sickness in and around our town from the above disease. We have had splendid weather for bringing it on during the past two or three weeks, and people should be careful not to expose themselves any more than they can help. It is much easier to take pneu monia than it is to get rid of it. Trial Justices.?The Legislature is about to reduce the number of Trial Justices in our county from twelve to six, and pay them a salary instead of by fees as at present, if the plan will reduce the expence of the system it ought to be curried out. The bill to make the change w,*us introduced into the Legislature by T. M. Raysor, Esq. A Good Appointment.?Maj. A. C. Dibble has been elected Superintendent of the St. Paul's Methodist Church Sunday School in place of Capt. H. G. Sheridan, who declined a re-election. Maj. A. C. Dibble will make a most efficient officer, and as the school had to loose the valuable services of Capt. Sheridan we are glad that so worthy a successor was fouud. Masonic.?At the anniversary meet ing of Shibboleth Lodge, Xo. 28, A. F. M., held last Tuesday night, the follow ing officers were elected for the ensuing Masonic year: T. O. S. Dibble, W. M.; W. L. Glaze, S. W.; G. W. Brunson, J. W.; T. Kohn, Treasurer; Henry Kohn, Secretary; A. C. Dibble, S. D.; W. B. Thompson, J. D.; J. L. Heidtman, Tiller; W. L. Izlar and W. S. Stewart, Stewards. Tramps.?Tramps are on the tramp, and walking is good. Before the snow storm Orangeburg was getting her full share. They are all men of health, and robust looks, but do not want to work. A wood pile will make the best of them slide when asked to cut it for food. People should look out for these tramps, and not even give them a cold potato. Let the dog have a bite, and send them over the fence in a hurry. Forest Ftkes.? Orangeburg was al most surrounded by forest fires for several days last week. They could be seen in every direction, but so far we have not heard of any material damage done by them. The" long drouth that we had had made these fires burn with great rapidity and destructivenass to frees and fences. The sleet and rain of last Friday night however completely extinguished them all, which was a great blessing. Too Serious to Joke About.?The Palatka, Fla., Herald says : "People in the earthquuke districts are so disgust ed with the seismic disturbances that they do not even shake hands now, as it reminds them of their recent trouble." Come, Brother Pratt, this earthquake business is too serious a matter to joke :about. If you want to know how they make a fellow feel come over and spend a month with us. They don't only make a fellow shake hands but actually makes him shake all over. Good Wives, Observe.?In Man chester, England, recently a gentleman named Heron committed suicide by taking strychnine because his wife omitted to give him a birthday present. There are sensitive husbands every where. Xow that Christinas is near at hand, good wives will take precautions against losing their lords for want of attention to their susceptibilities. "If it had only been a penny cigar," wrote the Manchester husband to his neglect ful wife, "I should have prized it." Declined a Re-Electiox.?Capt. II. G. Sheridun who has been the efficient and loved Superintendent of St. Paul's Methodist Church Sunday School for the past eight years, declined a re-elec tion at the last Quarterly Conference. Capt. Sheridan has given many years of his life to Sunday School work, a.id has accomplished much good among the young. His declination is regret ted by all connected with the St. Paul's Sunday School, and the best wishes of both teachers and scholars go with liim in his retirement. An Urgent Appeal.?If the foTj lowing appeal which we clip from the Barnwell Sentinel does not bring in the delinquent subscribers of that journal, Brother Bronson hud better cut them off: "The Old Reliable has a nice fat shoat for Christmas, he represents a years subscription paid by a good color ed Democrat; and for fearsome rascal would steal him, wo have worn out at the knees two pair of our last year's crop of pants guarding him at night with a shot gun. Will some liberal white delinquent follow the colored reader's example?" ? OUR BREVITY BASKET^ Filled With Brief Mention of Many Minor Events of the Week. Last Monday was a typical December salesday. A number of roofs in town leaked badly during the past week. Mince pies are now ripe, but if you eat too much of them you can't sing "Happy be thy dreams." Gen. J. F. Izlar nov/ has the hand somest residence in the county, and we know no man that deserves it more. Mr. Foster, whose predictions we published on Nov. 25 last, hit the* nail on the head. His snow storm came on schedule time. If our neighbor's estimate of us was equal to our estimate of ourselves, there would be no known imperfections in human character. Managers of Election and Clerks for State polls at the late election will please call at this office and get their pay for such services. In answer to enquirers we would state that any subscriber to Tiie Times and Democrat can get the Weekly News and Courier at our clubbing rates by paying up for both papers. We did not attend the ten cent circus that exhibited here last week, but if the show inside the tent was no better than the street show it was a poor affair. "We publish this week a list of the members of the' Conference and the homes to which they have been assign ed as a matter of general information. When you hear a young man say the "world owes him ? living," you can make up your mind that he owes the world's people enough to balance the debt. At the meeting of the State Bar Asso ciation in Columbia last week, Gen. J. F. Izlar was elected a member of the General Council from the First Dis trict. We are under obligations to many of our subscribers for a prompt settle ment of their accounts. There are a few still behind, who we hope will soon settle. The Legislature adjourned last Sat urday as a mark of respect to the memory of Gov. Perry, and the mem bers embraced the opportunity to visit their homes. We are sorry that the City Council repealed the law prohibiting" the erec tion of wooden buildings on certain portions of Russell Street. It was a good law, and should have been con tinued. B. H. Moss, Esq., who has filled for' the past two years most acceptably the position of Clerk to the Board of Coun ty Commissioners, deseiwes a unani mous re-election, and we believe he will get it. The warm sunshine of Tuesday dis solved the snow scene wherever it touched and by night, save on the North slopes of the housetops and South sides of streets, the white cover ing had almost all disappeared. The House by a decisive vote Tues day killed a bill to repeal the lien law, which provided that it should take ef fect immediately upon its ratification. Perhaps one which will give a little time to prepare for it will meet a differ-, ent vote. A philosophical editor sets down this fact as the fruit of experience: "The longer we run a newspaper and write about people and events, the more we realize how utterly impossible it is to scratch every man on the spot that itches the most." We are indebted to our old friend, Gen. Edward McCrady, Jr., for a copy of Iiis address before the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia deliv ered, in the hall of the House of dele ?ites at Richmond, Va.. on Thursday, ctober 21,1886. Mr. D. H. Witherspoon has become the sole proprietor of the Manning Enterprise, having purchased the entire paper of Mr. S. A. Nettles. We are glad to know that the fraternity will not lose Brother Nettles altogether. He will still edit the Enterprise. We are under obligations to the State officials for their Annual Reports. They all show a large amount of painstak ing and faithful work in their compila tion, and their recommendations, for the most part, deserve the careful con sideration of our law-makers. Killed on the Track?An acci dent occurred on the South Carolina Railway at Branchville last Friday which resulted in the death of Brake man Gruber, of Charleston. Train 48, which is the local freight train, was standing on the main track of the Co lumbia division, when engine 40, draw ing an extra train, came down off the Columbia division and ran into the rear end of train 48, injuring Brakeman Gruber so that he died shortly after wards. A jury of inquest was em panelled by Trial Justice Fairey, who, after fully investigating the facts in the case, returned a verdict that the young man came to his death by an unavoidable accident.

"Beauty's Secret."?This is the title of a thrilling story that will be commenced by us next week. This feature of our paper has become very popular with our readers, and we take pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements to continue it during the next year. "Beauty's Se cret" wil! be followed by others of equal interest. These stories should be read by all of our readers. We Ark Opposed to It.?Bishop P. F. Stevens advocates a marriage li cense law. The Bishop is a good and wise man but. we think he is off the track on this matter. Marriage ought to be free as possible, and the State ought to encourage rather than hinder so honorable an undertaking as two young people seeking matrimony. Our present laws on the marriage relation can't be improved on. General Xcw?. The Anderson Intelligencer notes the fact that there is a red headed colored man in that county. Thirty men were Instantly killed by an explosion in Lemore colliery in Durham, Eng:, Friday. Four seaman and two steerage pas sengers were killed on the steamer Westerland by a bur wave during a storm ou Novemoer 27. On Tuesday night last an incendiary was caught in the act of setting fire to the town of Temple, Texas, and, at tempting to escape, was killed. At Portland, Me., on Tuesday night, Mrs. Susan Willard, a middle-aged lady was struck by lightning and killed in her bed during a thunderstorm. S. Mize, the confidential clerk of Mi ner T. Ames, the millionaire coal mer chant of Chicago, has got awav with $100,000 of his employers money. The City Council of Spartanburg has placed the license for retailing spiritu ous liquors at $1,000, the holder to give bond for keeping an orderly place. The schooner Edith, from St. Pierre for Langlais, was sunk Sunday on a reef near Miquelon Island. All the crew, numbering thirteen, perished. A gang of Chinese section hands at Big Spring Texas, was waited upon by about 50 masked men and cruelly tor tured until they gave up their savings, about SoOO in all. W. C. Latimer, of Belton, has attract ed some attention in Augusta by sever al apparently earnest attempts to com mit suicide. He says he was tempora rily insane. It took the United States army a long time to conquer Geronima and his band. But the Florida climate is fetch ing them to the ground at the rate of four per day. Eight proprietors of second rate ho tels and restaurants in Hartford, Conn., have been arrested for using oleomar garine on their tables without display ing the placard showing that it was used, Polly Stump, aged 55 years, while re turning to her home last evening, in Reading, Penn., fell and broke her leg, nearLenhartsville. She vainly endea vored to crawl home and was found frozen to death. At Arkansas City, Kans., three bro thers named Malpass after a trivial quarrel with Esquire Raines, waylaid and killed the latter as he was going home. The Malpass boys were com mitted to jail without bad. ; Thomas Reddy was instantly killed, and Hugh McGinnis was fatally injur ed last week on the Ashland branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad near Shenan doah. Pa. They attempted to cross the track ahead of an approaching train. Bernard Ryan, aged 50 was burned to death in his barn at Milltown, 'Me., on Saturday night, while endeavoring to save it from the flames. He was a vet eran of the late war, had just purchased the.property with back pension money. The 25 cent circus played to poor bus iness at Seneca City and left there de nounced by the Free Press as a gang of robbers and dead beats. It played" at Greenwood on Friday and one of its members dropped dead there of heart disease. . _rJ>J.-^ In an affray in Pitts County, Xorth Carolina, between Thomas Smith fed John Dennis, the latter shot and killed the former. The friends of Smith as saulted Dennis and cut him nearly to death with a large knife. It is not thought that Dennis can recover. Guiteau's curse comes to the front again. Dr. Gray, who prononnced Guiteau a perfectly sane man, has just died, it is said, from the effects of an attempt upon his life by an assassin. The wife of Bill Jones, the avenger, who attempted to murder Guiteau, has quitted Bill and has refused to give him more money for rum. The Kentucky Democrats are making an effort to prevent the re-appointment of Mrs. Heim, postmistress at Eliza bethtown. She is a sister of Mrs. Abra ham Lincoln, and was appointed by President Arthur. Her husband was the Confederate General Ben Hardin Helm, who was killed at Shiloh. Her term of office expires in January next. We learn from the Columbia Register that Mr, J. W. Swann, of that city, while out duck hunting Saturday on Broad River, slipped on the sleet and sufferred a fracture of both legs just above the ankles. He was carried to the city and surgical aid rendered. He is doing very well and hopes to recover at an early day, as his injuries are not of a seriovs mature. The Methodist Conference.?The Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will convene on next Wednesday morning at St. Paul's Methodist Church, in this place. Eleven years ago, in 1875, this body of Christian workers met in our town in annual conference. Since that time many changes have taken place both to our community and to the members of that body and some familiar faces will be missed. About two hundred and seventy-live delegates will be present. The sessions, which are open to the public, will be of great interest, and will undoubtedly be largely attended by our people regardless of "denomina tion. In the name of our town we bid all connected with the Conference a warm and hearty welcome to our homes. May this meeting be one ofAhe pleasantest and most profitable in the history of the Conference both to our people and to its members. How Some People Eat.?"Some of our boarders make us weary of life," said a restaurant man, as lu; leaned his head in the palm of his hand and sighed, as he watched a hungry tramp pass his beanery. "See that 250 pound man going out of the door? Well, he lias boarded witli us about three weeks, and the only thing he eats during the whole clay are three wheat cakes in the morning and a slice of dry toast and two baked potatoes in the evening. Then there is the lean man. He comes in and orders a 20-ccnt meal. "When he gets through there isn't enough left on the table to feed a humming bird. lie eats all the bread in sight, collars the pickles, calls for three plates of butter and fills his pocket with tooth picks and mutches. I think I'd rather be a coun try editor than keep a restaurant si.e months longer. Peter C. Brcnson, (under Way'3 Hall,) has perfected arrangements to supply the trade and families, with fruit and vegetables of all kinds, ap ples, oranges, lemons, bananas, cab bages, potatoes and onions.
