tiptcfThemfe Said in Oranga burg Each Year. "'^jbshua Hardstrong" Enumerates ? Kumber of Them That Has Been Worked Off on Us. Once the *-eal article was disposed ttt here; another year the "Farmers Accountant Rights" found ready sale for good farmer's notes. Wext we had that beautiful green painted well bucket arrangement, Worth five dollars, but which readily sold for twenty-five dollars. The salesman told a gentleman in Or angeburg that he did not see why the factory making this affair did not paint it red instead of green, as a farmer would'pay five dollars more for a red than a green one. By this time along came a fellow selling "Economy Kitchen Grocer Rights." These sold well among our farmer friends; but when the notes fell due a mighty howl was raised. The salesman had fled with the cash and the farmers were holding the bag. After this everybody determined that they would buy nothing more unless something extra good should ^ome along; and this was not long coming. Early in 1906 the wonderful ''Washing Machine" arrived in our midst. Everyone wanted a machine; hut were blandly told that only "rights" were to be sold, and these would be sold principally to farm ers, as they needed to make money worse than anybody else. It was a good thing, no doubt; and many was the cosy little home that had a mortgage plastered on its tender back to pay for a "right" that would bring untold wealth. Some people are sucking burnt thumbs yet as a practical result of this experience. Up to this time it was mainly farm ers who bought gold bricks, and as a consequence the city people in Or angeburg were having a "horse-laugh" at the expense of their country cous ins; but their time was coming. Early In 1907 a well groomed stranger landed in Orangeburg. He was welcomed with open arms. He was the "best" fellow at the club. Gradually he unfolded the "French Coach Stallion" scheme to the folks. It looked good; the horse was good; and our friend looked good; so it was a "go." True the horse was a little expensive; but well guaranteed; and a long time given to pay, fact Is, good notes would be as acceptable as the cash. I But don't rub it in; and we won der what the year 1908 has in store for us? What kind of a brick; who shall it be; and what shall the harvest be? Joshua Hardstrong. Visit Orangcburg. Messrs. H. L. Hungerford, superin tendent, and E. H. Shaw, general j freight agent, of the Southern Rail-! way Company, were In the city Wed-, nesday. The visit of these gentle men to Orangeburg was prompted by a desire to see something of our city and become acquainted with as many of the Southern's patrons as possible. They expressed themselves very fav orably concerning Orangeburg and showed that the road appreciated the business which it got from this point. Assurances were also given that ev ery effort would be exerted to con tinue the splendid service which its patrons are receiving. Get Well Paid. Mr. Welch, the Columbia lawyer, who worked so faithfully and success fully for the promoters of Caihoun county, is reported to have sent in a bill for $4,000 for his services. This Is a pretty steep fee, but, vi-hen it is remembered that Mr. Welch talked 60 eloquently to the Supreme Court that he made that august tribunal Ig nore all former decisions and reverse itself, his services was worth all he charged. Will Connect With Jail. The commissioners have agreed to run a line of sewerage near the jail so as thnt institution can be connect ed up with it. It is understood that the county commissioners requested this line to be run and they will pay one half of the expenses of laying the mains. It will prove a great convenience. Cold Wat her Ahead. The Barnwell People says accord ing to the old sign of the seven stars there is plenty of cold yet ahead. Be lievers in them as weather prophets say that frost never comes until the seven sU-.rs are visible in the East about dark, and that it does dot cease until they set in the West about dark. They are still high in the sky. Malicious Trespass. Some malicious person shot out some glasses in a window and the lock on the door of a small house on the place of Dr. Muckenfuss a few miles from the city. Such vandalism should be severely punished if the parties could be caught. What pleas ure any one can find in such lawless acts is a mystery. Child Badly Burned. .. A little girl of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Thomas was badly burned by falling in a tub of hot water whi-h a servant was using to scour the Moor. While the child was badly burned, i' is no; ?thought that any serious con ??jnuen ces will result from the .acci '.ent. Will Resign. It is stated tint Supervisor O. M. Dantzler will resrgn shortly and will no longer be an oTidal of Oranceburg County. We suppose Gov. Ansel will appoint his sue scr, ar, he has lees than one year to serve. ROTATE YOUR CROPS. Good Advice to Farmers From One of Their Number. Cow peas, 92.00 per bushel; yel low turnips, $1.00; sweet potatoes, $1.25; seed oats, $1.00; .seed wheat, $1.40; common hay, |1.00 per hun dred and corn no doubt will bring $1.00 on time in this State. Any one or all of these crops can be grown in great abundance on any farm in South Carolina without the use of common fertilizers. Twelve to fifteen cents cotton is not in it along with these crops, says Mr. J. C. Stribling. You are com pelled to hold and fight for fifteen cents cotton. We are now getting the above prices without holding or fighting for it. Besides more net pro fits on some of these crops, cow peas, hay, small grain and turnips all leave the land richer in humus after the crops come off than before planting. Now here, listen, if you don't ro tate your crops more, you will have to rotate yourself by moving off the farm or starve out yourself along with your lands. Surely you can change your way of farming easier than you can move out. LECTURE AT ST. MATTHEWS| All Are Invited to Go and Hear Mr. Hubbard. Editor Times and Democrat: This community has a rare intel lectual treat in store. Mr. Elbert Hubbard, one of the foremost think ers, and strongest platform speakers in America, will lecture at St. Mat thews on Wednesday night, March 4th, at half-past 8 o'clock, in Wim berly's Auditorium. This is an unusual opportunity for the public to hear a truly great man declare, that at best, the intensest joy that can be known to mortals, is that of giving one's self for the good of the whole, and that what you fail to give forth of love and service, re presents the measure of your soul poverty. Come and hear! He will not Leil you that the world is flat, and has four corners, simply because it is taught in the Bible, but you will always remember with pleasure and profit, the words of truth, soberness and wisdom, that fall from the lips jf the Bishop of the outsiders. He loves his fellow man, and it is not to his discredit that he "belongs to the great church that holds the world within its star-lit aisles, that claims the great and good of every race and clime, that finds with joy the grain of gold in every creed, and floods with light and love, the germ of truth in every soul." A. K. S. St. Matthews, Feb. 25, 1908. CALHOUN COUNTY OFFICERS Names of the Gentlemen Said to be Slated for Them.

The News and Courier says: "Wal ter Rickard has put his name to a Roanoke contract for the coming sea son. He is what is known as a gen eral utility man, being a pitcher, catcher and outfielder. It the season of 1906, he was with Danville. Last ;.eason he was with Orangeburg, S. C, when the season of the South Carolina Lague came to a close, when he went to Virginia and played with Roanoke until the close of season of the Virginia League." Rickard was one" of the best players on the Or angeburg Team last year, and will be missed this year. Gospel Mission Meeting. Don't forget to attend the services of the Gospel Mission tonight and tomorrow night at the Courthouse. Son? service from 7:45 to 8, and the regular services from 8 tp 9 o'clock. Let us go and show by our presence at least that we would encourage others to try to save souls, even if we ourselves are unwilling to make any effort in that line. Remember the Golden Rule and ask ourselves what we would expect Christians to do for us if we were sinners unsaved. G. Gets the First Plums.

A Soathern Passenger Train Partly Derailed at Kinggville. Train No. 17, .from Charleston I was wrecked at KingBrllle at ?.15 | Tuesday night at a switch about 100 I yards north of the Cohgaree River, i The two passenger coaches were de railed but none of the passengers were hurt beyond a bruise or a good shak-1 ing up. The trainmen conducted an inves tigation and found that the switch had been tampered with.. The engine and the mall and the express cars passed over the switch in safety but the coach for colored passengers which followed, left the rails and carried the coach for white passen gers with it. The two coaches struck a string of box cars which were standing on the siding, turning over two or three of them and wrecking the interior of the negro coach, which, at the time was occupied only by one passenger and the conductor, neither of whom was hurt. The coach for whites was turn ed partly over, but was not damaged The track for about a hundred feet was torn up. After an hour and a quarter the passengers were put aboard the ex press car and a caboose, and were carried on to Columbia, reaching j there at 11.20. INSURANCE COMMISSIONER. No Better Man for the Place Than Mr. F. H. McMaster. The new office of insurance com missioner, created by the Legislature with a salary of $2,500, is not .going begging. Among the candidates for this position, which ia to be filled next Tuesday when the legislature reassembles for the election of U. S. Senator, is Mr. F. H. McMaster, whose friends here will wish him the great est, success in this race, we Is a man of ability and would fill the position most acceptably.'as he would comply fully with every requirement. We do not know all the other candi dates, but we feel quite sure that (there is no more efficient man in the [race. Succss to him. Comes to Orangeburg. The News and Courier says change 1 of management has been made at the St. John Hotel in Charleston, Mr. H. A. Keigwin, of Washington, D. C, taking charge of the house, as suc cessor to former Manager George W. Cutter, who will leave for Orange burg, where he has leased the Or angeburg Hotel. Mr. George V. Cutter, the former manager, together with his son, former Chief Clerk Har ry Cutter have leased the Orangeburg Hotel and have repaired and refur nished that hostelry, making it rank high among the hotels of the State. While in Charleston Mr. and Mrs. Cutter made a large circle of friends who regret topn?e them leave. The manner in which th St. John was conducted by him was excellent, andj it is expected that he will use the same style for his new house. The, news of Mr. Cutter's hotel Deing run in Orangeburg will make the Orange burg Hotel Charleston headquarters in that prosperous city. Deafness Cannot be Cured, by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and tnat is by constitution al remedies, ueafness Is caused bj an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Euptachian Tube. When thi3 tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. \ We will give $100 for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall"-' Catarrh Cure.

Advrtieement Telling the Local His tory, Development and Opportimi" ties Should be Mailed Ont. How can a town advertise itself to the outside world to get the best re sults for the least expenditure? This question was asked recently of a man who has had many years' ex perience In promoting publicity for ex positions, theatrical companies, cities and summer resorts. He replied with out hesitation: "Carry a half page or a page or two pages of well written and illustrated boom matter in the local newspapers Run it regularly, just as if it were a part of the necessary makeup of the paper, like the date line. You will find that that sort of advertising for a town is about the best that can be de vised. It brings the best results for the smallest expenditure of funds." This same authority went on to say that the founder of one of the big east ern summer resorts used to run a standing advertisement of the town In each of the local papers, usually a full page. This advertising was continued for years until it became almost a jolce I locally, many of the residents being I able to quote whole paragraphs i.'roin the descriptive matter without refer ring to the paper. But whenever a copy of any paper published in the town was wrapped up and mailed away by a subscriber or a visitor it carried with it as a matter of course that town advertisement. It did* not matter whether or not the person mailing the paper intended to advertise the resort. The ad. went along "whether or no." "What was told in this ad.?" the publicity man was asked. "The history of the resort, when and how it came to be established, the price of lots when the town site was first put on the market, the value of property at the time of advertising, the kind of people who preferred that resort to all otl^rs, why they preferred It. the cost and quality of homes In the town and the advantages of the place from A to Izzard. The result was that thousands of now visitors and summer settlors were attracted to the place by seeing a copy of one of the local papers which told the story of the resort in entertaining style." Of course every town cannot be ad vertised to exactly the extent of the one mentioned, that place being a re sort visited by many strangers who are inclined to send away a marked copy of a local newspaper containing a personal item about their arrival or their attendance at some social func tion. But the average town which is ambitious to get above the average can accomplish much by exploiting it self through the columns of Its local press. Every town has an interesting history if only somebody who knows will get under the surface of things and unearth the facts. Every town has some peculiar advantages, some at tractions, not to be found elsewhere. The business of the exploiter is to set forth these attractions as invitingly aa possible. Of course no town Is go ing to boom itself. It must be lwomed by some of Its people. Some sort of organization is necessary to raise funds and map out the plan of campaign. The board of trade or businesii men's organization can attend to this. Suppose that a local business man or professional man or any plain citi zen received from some quarter a re quest for information concerning the town. The citizen may be too busy to write out the desired information In full, but if he has a copy of the town paper on his desk containing just the data called for he is more than likely to wrap it up and mall It to the in quirer. "Marked Copy." In every town there are mrmy citi zens who have paid no particular at tention to matters of local history. A well written article running from day to day or from week to week in the paper the people read will serve to get them interested in the town In which they live and will be the means of add ing them to the booming element. En thusiasm is said to be contagious, and by frequent contact with some of the enthusiasm poured out in printer's ink by oue who knows his subject and be lieves in it the contagion is 3ure to be caught and passed along. What advantages has the town over Its neighboring towns? What Interest ing facts in Its history or development are there which will make Interesting reading aud cause outsiders to want to know more about the place? What Important Improvements have been made lately or may ho made in the near future? What opportunities are there for settlement. Investment, the opening of new lines of business? AI! these things combined would make an interesting article, and if run as a standing advertisement it would begin to show results in a short tine. As eternal vigilance Is the price of liberty, fo is keeping everlastingly at it the price of success in booming a town. To Check Street Litter. In order to minimize the nuisance of waste paper left in the streets the city council of Paris. France, ordered that wire baskets to which Is attach ed a notice requesting the public to place waste paper therein be placed in squares and on the grand boule vards, says a Paris ipeclal dispatch to the New York Herald. They are to be attached to fence* and railings. How to Clean Bronzes. I It is not a good plan to clean bronzes, j as the polish is very easily spoiled, but if necessary nothing is iH-tter thuu I cleaning them with water and am I monia. using a stiff brush.like a nail brush. Dry carefully after rinsing thoroughly. They should .lie carefully dusted every day with a wift cloth und a feather brush, and a little sweet oil may be rubbed on ocrasiona ly. To re move stains from bronze make the article very hot by dipping it in boiling water. Then rub it with a piece of (laiiuel dipped in suds made from yel low soap, rubbing clean with soft linen cloths. PRETTY FEET. How to Preserve Their Shape and Condition. That a pretty foot is one of woman's freutest charms Is universally conced ed, and the woman who wants to pre . serve the shape of her pedal extremi ties must perforce bestow considerably more attention upon them than she If credited with doing, kuvk the Chicago Tribune. To keep then) trim and J shapely hot baths should be resorted to. A frequent change of shoes is ad visable, as it rests the feet and helps to keep them in good condition. After a long tramp bathe them iu warm water, afterward rubbing with hay rum or co logne. But. after all. the weekly pedi curing should not be forgotten. It Is Just as important as maulcnring. Aft er a hot footbath all callosities should be treated with puiuice stone, and if one desires to prevenl their return ap ply a plaster of chamois skin with a hole In the center. This will not only relieve, but cure. Toe nails do not need trimming as often as finger nails. They should be trimmed square across, kept at a modernte length and otherwise treated as those of the ringers. The feet should be washed every morning. If It were made a daily cus tom the beauty of the feet would be better preserved, and there would be fewer corns, blisters and bunions. Should the feet be prone in dampness the stockings should be rlmagad every day. and the soles of t'v ? lean stor ings should be sprinkle i with some good toilet powder. Patent leather has a bad ?"et t 0n many feet, and therefore worn. ? tender feet should avoid it. Slippers of a inuct; thinner leather, called pat ent kid. enn be obtained. This looks quite as jimart and does the feet far less harm. How to Check Bleeding. The country boy knows that the fine dnst of the browu fungi he calls puff balls will stop bleeding, says Harper's Bazar. When he cuts himself be hunts for one of these if the cut is not seri ous. If the cut is deep. It Is wire to bathe it In warm water with carbolic in it or a tablet of chloride of mercury dissolved In the water. Carefully re move all foreign matter In the wash ing, and then, pinching the lips of the cut together, put on strips of adhesive plaster. Be sure to leave little spaces for pus to run out. This running of pus is a natural process and Is not alarming unless persistent and the pus comes iu unreasonable quantities. Sometimes the blood flows so rupidly that you cannot close the wound with plaster. If so. tie n bandage tightly above the wound before you nttend to the wound itself. This will stop the flow of blood, and. nature having formed her clot, you can do your part with plaster. How to Cure Asthma With Coffee. Coffee Is a very excellent remedy for asthma. Those who do not know how to cut short their attacks and have not tried coffee should do so by all means, says Family Doctor. It often succeeds admirably when almost everything else has failed. There are one or two little points to be attended to In taking cof fee for asthma. In the first place, it 6hould be very strong?in fact, perfect ly black. Weak coffee does more harm than good. If made ^ery strong, much of it need not be taken. A large quan tity is a positive disadvantage, for it Is less rapidly absorbed and only distends the stomach. Then it should be given without sugar or milk, pure cafe noir. It should be given on an empty stom ach, for when taken on a full stomach It often does harm by putting a stop to the process of digestion. How to Preserve Parsley. The table can always be Inviting and dainty If the dishes are garuished with a sprig of green, Use freshly gathered parsley, wash tt free from grit and dust, put It into boiling water slightly salted and well skimmed; then let it boll two or three minutes. Take it out and let it drain, and put it before the fire, when It should be dried as quickly as possible. Store It away In a dry place in bottles and when wanted for use pour over a little warm water and let it stand five minutes, it will be like fresh parsley. How to Obtain GIocs on Pie Crust. Even when the oven Is quite right and the pastry has beeu made mod erately rich a woman will feel dissat isfied at the appearance of a pie be cause she misses the rich brown gloss that she has seen on pastry made by practical cooks. To obtalu this gloss she needs a wrinkle, says the Boston Post It is produced by egg wash. An egg is beaten up with a little sug ar, and a small quantity of milk is added. Witb this wash the pie is brushed over after the pastry has been finished. How to Keep Stray Hairs In Place. The little wisps of hair which cause so much annoyance on windy days can be kept iu place with Invisible hair plus. But few women know how to ! keep In the pins. Push the locks in J place, slip in the pin. then turn back I one poiut of the pin until the end j touches the top. They are easily tak I cd out, but will keep firmly in even the roughest wind.

When Lincoln Swore.
