WIM' titi&s ^SVHAT IS GOING OS IN AND ABOUT THAT LITTLE CITY. IRougb Hands in Demand?Bad Beads: That Need Work?Local HdLroad Bans on Schedule Time. Bownian, Jan. 9.?Special?Signs -of animated life are" to be seen on t?me of the farms on R.. P. D,. No. 1 3b the way of stump digging, cotton ?end corn , stalk cutting, with' some ?ploughing ihere and there. There is * demand for goon plough hands In many sections, labor of this kind be-i 3ng scarce and hard to get. This Icind of farm labor is getting to be more unreliable as each year rolls' around. What the sequel of this will be in*" the next four years, will be difficult to forecast. O. P. Evans, carrier No. 3, deliv ered a Wagner motor cycle to a .brother carrier at Harleyville on Sat urday last, riding the machine and seturned by rail via Orangeburg yes terday. This makes seven machines sold and delivered by Carrier Evans during the past few months. Mr. Felder Evans, accompanied by 3iia sister, Mrs. Wlmberly, spent yes terday with relatives in town. Mr. P. _C. Rlley went down on 'a tisrt to Mr. ThosJ M. Riley's, Berke ley, county,, last week and "went a -ftshing" in Four Ho-es before return ing home and reports "good luck," j securing a lot of fine fish. , | The roads are getting in bad shape all over the country with few excep tions, and the R. F. D. boys are "grumbling loud." It Is Indeed a pity that some of the money that is proposed.to he used on questionable ?ehernes could not be applied to road improvement in a number of cases where. It is badly neoded. There are j public, roads not a thousand miles J .firom vSowman where two vehicles can i not pass each other without one or tbe other gives the road. There are I other places, quite a long distance i that a loaded team can only pull with the greatest difficulty. This cannot ? -1? contradicted and yet there are .-some who brag about the fine condi tion.; of some public roais. A revo -^jjidn Is needed along this line and sooner it begins the better. I V^The B. & B. railroad has gotten "'?into gjod shape again, the schedules fbr th'3 past several weeks have been -maintained by the train In a satis factory manner. This improvement is indeed gratifying to the rural car riers as welt as the traveling -public. The only inconvenience now experi ?enced is the late arrival of- the Co lumbia mall makes It necessary for j ?tbe B. & B. train to leave in a num ber of Instances without the Colum-j "bia and way stations mail. Rev. D. H. Crosland preached at the Baptist church here last night to a large congregation. Rev. Mr. Cros < tend is a good -preacher and this ser mon was listened to with much inter est. Dundee. Officers Are Installed. EdEsto lodge, No. 35, I. O. O. . 5\, sit its last meeting, installed the , following 'officers: F. P. -Schiffiey, N. G.; W. K. Walker, V.' G.: F. C. Bryant, treas urer: F. A. Schlffley, financial and recording secretary; G. A. SchlfHey, conductor: A. W. Hoffman, warden; ?O. E. Davis, chaplain; H. E. Jen nings, O. G.; F. F. LImehouse, I. G.; I*. H. Wannamaker, R. S. N.

Wal ter, trustees. Coast Line All Fight. ? The Florence Times says: "Pres ident. Emerson, of the Coast Line, .promises the Columbia State hearty co-operation in an extensive adver ting campaign for South Carolina. Ton can always count on the Coast Line doing the right thtm'r. We all cuss and abuse it at times, but we lenow that there is no better Bystem In the country and no better men anywhere than those who manage it. It does not give us nearly all that we ask for, but neither do we give It all it asks for. In one way or an other, however, we get on fine with the Coast Line. Long may it live and prosper!" Want Shooily Train. The people living in and around the towns of Cope and Cordova have signei a petition to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad asking that the "sboofly" tra'n operated from Or anreburg lo Florence, be run through to Denmark, in order that the people living in that section or Oranseburg county may have a way to come to Orangeburs: and return the same day by rail. This wouli be a great con venience to the people living in the sections mentioned and we hope the request, will be granted. Another Sew County Scheme. The Walterboro Press and Stand ard says: "R. M. Jeffries, editor of Tb?> Jasper Herald. Ri Igeland, spent Sunday in town. Mr. Jeffries is very sanguine as to the new county with Ridgeland as the county seat. The first iS3t'e of The Herald will be printed in a few days." The new county referred to is to be formed out of portions of Orangeburg and Colleton counties, should the scheme to form it succeed. But what we would like to know is, where Is BIdgeland? Wants Them Pardoned. The report of the State board of pardons, submitted to Gov. Ansel Saturday, recommends Executive clemency for Arthur Dav!B, serving a sentence of fifteen years in the pen itentiary for murder; also Dennis Ladson, uervlnj 'a life sentence from Orangeburg county for burglary. ORANGES URG FORGING AHE AU. Many New Buildings Put Up During the Past Year. With the beginning of the new year Orasggburg is experiencing much growth and building activity Among the many improvements tliat are being made In the city, is the construction of stores, modern brick stables, manufacturing plants ana numerous residences. Not only is this activity confined to building, but real estate ? activity * in thia. city dur ing the past year :tas been the great est, by far;, in her history.' During the past twelve months^ there' have been eight lot auction sales, whereby over 700 lots have been sold. Al though Orangeburg only enjoys a healthy growth, still this -progress is I certain and a3 a result Orangeburg is fast forging ahead as one of South 'Carolina's most up-to-date towns. With her vitrified brick streets, he miles of cemented sidewalks, her complete sewerage system, her ex cellent fire alarm system and efficient fire department, her unsurpassed graded schools, her fine churches and church-going people, her three lively newspapers, her city mail delivery, her magnificent railroad facilities, her happy and prosperous population, she is well ready for the new era and is undoubtedly commanding an en vious position among the cities of this State. Mrs. J. J. Sorentrue Is having a] modern front placed to her store on Russell street. This store will be one of the prettiest on the business j street after its completion. The new two-story brick building of J. A. Berry on East Russell street has been completed and has added 1 muc'h to the appearance of this por-| tion of Russell street. The new fronts placed on the two stores of E. D. Reeves on East Rns Bell street are very attractive. These stores are occupied by Wise Jewelry store and Frescott's grocery. Among the pretty residences erect ed recently and others in the course of erection are those *of John M: Namara, on South Broughton street; W. F. Falrey, on South Broughton street; Addison E. McCoy, on Whir man street; and others. E. E. Culler Is erecting a wheel right and blacksmith shop on' his property on St. John street. Mr. Cul ler will enrage In this work on a large scale. The two-story brick building of Blythwood and Ballard on Amelia street is nearlng completion. This building will have several small stores under It. Another Cold Wave Coming. The weather bureau says a cold wave of marked severity that now prevails over Alaska will overspread the Northwestern . States Tuesday, from which region it will advance eastward and southward over the Middle West during the middle of the week, and to the Atlantic and Gulf States during the latter part of the week, according to the weath er bureau "prediction. Abnormally low temperatures will attend this cold In the northern Pacific States, I the northern plateau and Rocky mountain regions and practically all districts east thereof. The principal disturbance of the week will prevail during the next two days west of the Rocky Mountains, cross the Middle West by Wednesday or Thursday and reach the Atlantic States Thursday or Friday. This disturbance will In all probability be attended by wide spread precipitation, especially In the Southern States, and the region west of the Rocky mountains. Court Convenes. The January term of the court of general sessions convened yesterday morning?most of the day was taken up in organizing the court and the passing upon indictments by the grand Jury. John Smith, a negro, pleaded guilty to s. charge of assault and battery with intent to.kill and. was sentenced to pay a fine of $25.00 or serve 36 days upon the chain gang. JeJrome Bonnett was .tried for as sault and battery with intent to kill Polly Williams, near Springfield, last JuJne. Both of these parties are white. The jury found Bonnett guilty, but the court has not sen tenced the prisoner. Moved to Federal Court. The Charleston Evening Post ears in the United States Circuit Court In that city on Saturday the papers in two cases were filed, one from the circuit court of Richland county anti tho other from Orangeburg. The suit of W. A. Reckling against G. P. McKinstry, involving an allegea breach of contract for which $10.000 is asked of the defendant came from Richland and the case of Isham F. Ritter, executor of the estate of Ben jamin Tillman Ritter against the At lantic Coast Line, asking $10,000 damages for injuries, cane frcs: Or angeburg county. Lodge Chooses Officers. Cameron lodge, No. SO, K. of P., at last convention, elected the fol lowing officers to serve for the en oiiincr yf!i'i" rt. F, Keller? C. C: C. T. Ulmer, V. C; H. B. Bair. M. W.; I. H.

The Columbia Record says: "It Is pleasant to uote that Branchville, the first railroad Junction In the world, la beginning to develop In proportion to its opportunities. Sev eral interesting lines of woodwork are now carried on in Branchville factories an! recently steps have ' been taken to establish other plants I of a similar character, while an ac tive Interest la being shown lorslly In dralnago and navlgar.oa pcsaibll j ities." 'SiULtN URL F??ft? KIDNAPPED IN THIS CITY SOME THIRTY YEARS AGO. Now Turns ?p in Oklahoma and Will Come to Orangoburg to Be identi fied by Family. The old saying that truth is some times stranger than fiction, will be verified if Lizzie Id. Lewis, a woman of thirty-five yeani of age, now living at Sapulba, Okla., proves; to be Lizzie, the five-year-old daughter of Albert T. and Carolina Ca.in, highly respecta ble'colored folks, who live just be low Orangeburg on the Charleston road, who was kidnapped while at tending a circus with ber mother in this city about thirty years ago. The circus they visited was the John Rob inson circus, and Lizzie M. Lewis, who Is expected to come to this city In a day or two for the purpose of Identification, is now with it at Ha winter quarters at Sapulba, Okla. The disappearance of the little girl, Lizzie M. Cain, who was a very smart and bright child for her age, created considerable excitement at jthe time, and every effort was made to recover her. Several people con nected with the circus, and the side shows connected with It, were ar rested and held, while every nook and corner of the circus and side show tents were thoroughly searched for the missing child, but nowhere could she be found. Friendu of the child followed the circus to Augusta, where It went from this plaoa, but nothing could be heard concerning the miss ing girl. . The disappearance of the child was most peculiar. In company with her mother and Beveral other children, Lizzie M. Cain, then only five years of age, visited the John Robinson j circus, which wr.a exhibiting on the ? old field, knowr. as the parade grounds, corner of RusBell and Wind sor streets, one afternoon in the fall of 1879. While witnessing the per formance the absence of Lizzie was noted by her mother, and a searcn was immediately instituted and push ed as stated above, but no tidings ol the missing child ever came to the greatly-distressed mother and father. The family mourned the lost Uttie girl for many years, but' time, the great healer, finally reconciled them ? to their great sorrow, and the little (girl was given up as one dead, wheu the John Robinson circus visited Or angeburg again last October. As on Its previous visit, several side shows were with the circus, and connected with one of these known as the "Old Plantation, ' was a young woman who friends of the Cain family Baid very much resembled some of the other children of that family. It soon became noised about -that .this young woman was no other than the little i?irl who had been kidnapped some thirty years before. The matter was called to the at tention of City Mall Carrier O. D. I Cain, a brother of the little girl that j had been kidnapped, who had not at | tended the circus or any of the slda , shows, by oome of the older colored residents, who had f;een the young woman in the side show and was im pressed by her striking resemblance to other members of l:he Cain family. Tn the hope of finding hlB sister, wdo had been stolen from her parents be fore he was born. Mail Carrier Cain visited the young woman on the cir cus grounds and sought an Interview with her, which she readily granted. The young woman did not seem to know much about her early life. She did not know where she was born, or who her mother was, as she had never known her mother. While she was not able to say whether she had been kidnapped or not, she sal I from her earliost recollection she hal been traveling with tho John Rohinson ctr cur. She paid she knew people ov in Sumter, but could not say where Bhe was born, but thought her age, thirty-five years, corresponded with the a?o of the little girl that was kid napped. 2te said she was known by the name of Lizzie M. Lewis by her associates in the show. The interview Impressed Cain, and he requested the young w,oman to keep him posted as to her where abouts after she left the city, whlca she ha3 done. He has received sev eral letters from her, and she ex pressed a willingness and a desire to visit Oranceburg and do what she can to establish her Identity as the llt'lo girl who wns stolen over thirty years ago. She has been sent transporta tion and Is now on her way to Or | ? anrrehrrg. where a happy reunion 'awaits her il she really proves to be 'the Icug-lost clii'J of Albert T. an;i j Caroline Cain, who. of course, hope 'they are about to greet one who ha.*| been a3 dead to them for many years. In her letters the young woman pvr>ros?ps the oninion that she la the little rirl that was kidnapped. In one of them she said one of the show men who hal been with the circus for many years, told her as she was j jleaving Orangehurg when tho sho-v . I was here last. October that she was' j leaving her home. She says she has 'never known anything about her [mother and father, or other kin pe*> I pic. but since she believes they are I Hv'tiot aha vprv anvimio. to i>n*no (o i see them. From all the circum stances surrounding the case, we are i convinced that the young woman is no other than the little girl who was Whethrr this frrt can be demon strated beyond all doubt has yet to be determined. We hope it can, and that the mother and father of tho little girl who has mourned her , all these years, will htivo her re stored to them In their oH age. Even if she has grown to womanhood, it will brln? a new joy into their lives to have her with them once more. , We believe that the mother will be ? able to Identify the woman aa her j long lost child If she 1b really the little girl that wan stolen. We hope so at least, so as all doubt and mya | tery about ihe case will be removed. INSTALLATION AND BANQUET. Of Thormvcll Lodge, No. 201, K. of ? ''''" P., Held Tuesday Night. The business session was called to order about 7 'o'clock and the regular business of the lo-^ee gone through with. The rank of Page was conferred nn one candidate, an.l the rank of Esquire upon another, after which thevistors and Bro. Knight were Invited down to the banquet hall, where a very nice feast awaited them prepared by the lady friends of the members of the lodge. The banquet was all .t one .could wish,' and as was testified by all present, was not the least enjoyable of the occasion. On account of the exceedingly bad weather very few ladieB were present, a fact very much regretted, as it has always been the aim of this lodge to have the ladies on such occasions. After the banquet the crowd again assembled in the castle hall where a public installation of officers was held. The installation services were conducted' in a very creditable and. instructive manner by D. D. G. C. Geo. A. Schiffley of Orangeburg, as sisted by Bros. Jno. T. Wise, as G. M. at A., and W. E.

Barton, Jr., introduced the following speak ers who made very interesting and instructive addresses: D. D. G. C. Geo. A. Schiffley, Jno. T. Wise, W. E. Derrick and E. C. Culler. Prof. Riddle, having taken his first decree at this meeting, was called upon to respond to the toast, "Myu terii-s." This he did with a few witty remarks' which amused the audience very much. The services lasted well after the midnight hour and all present felt profited by having attended. The banquet hall and castle hall were beautifully decorated for the occasion. TWO OF "BLACK HAND" DUB. Italians Electrocuted for Murder of Rent Collector. Dominick Ferrera and Vincent Leonardo, young Italians from Al bany, N. Y., who murdered a rent collector at the behest of the "Black Hand," went to the electric chair la Clinton prison Friday morning. Just before he was strapped in the chair, Leonardo made a confession which substantiated the evidence of l:he Italian detective, who had himself placed in a cell next to the accuued men before( their trial. Leonardo said he and Ferrera had been selected by the Black Hand to dispose of the man, whose name was Phelps. First they dug a grave under the floor of a saloon,. which Phelps frequented, and when called there, they suddenly attacked him. Ferrera .maintained his innocence to the last. c Death of Jlr. D. S. Koller. The St. Matthews Advance says on Tnes-Iay of last week Mr. D. S. Kel ler, a prominent and highly respected citizen of Calhoun county died at his home near Creston after an illneas of two weekf, having suffered an at tack of paralysis from which he never re-covered. He wbb 57 years old and had reared a large and inter esting family of ten, five boys and five girls. He was a man of excellent habits and a noble character. Nc bronze or marble shaft, no splendor of ancient or modern tombs and no Dlay of immortal genius can adiorn the memory of such manly men. Their lives, their deeds, their influ ence living or dead, and their pure aspirations are the monuments tha; ?will keep their names burning tn tbe home and the hearts of kindred and brethren, while the flying momenta are dimming with their dust and ruit the inscription upon the brightest: 1 ellsk In the cemetery. While t"*j si lence of death wraps and chills us at this meinen*., memories sweet aid precious, come crowding In. Bleeds to Death. Arthur Justice, aged 30, a farmer of Hay wool county, N.
