A WORD ABOUT OUR CITY A TOWN WITH ALL MODERN CITY COXVEXIEXCIES. I Read What Luxuries Orangeburg Of fers Prospective Residents and Then Think It Over. In our travels up and down this good old State of South Carolina from the mountains to the seashore we will say, without any intention of indulging in mere phrases to please or flatter the people of the goodly little city of Orangeburg, that we have never seen a place of ts size that equals it in all respects. It surpasses all we have ever seen in natural beauty and scenery The same may be said of its streets and its stores and beautiful residences, and churches and school houses All combine to make a lovely little city. Then too, Orangeburg has all the modern comfort of a large city with out any of its inconveniences from heat and crowded flats. Orangeburg ha3 a fine system of waterworks and stwerajge, owned and operated by the city for benefit and comfort of her people. She also owns an electric lighting plant, which fur nishes llgths to the city as well as the citizens, and power for operating numerous sxna.ll and large industries. All the preses and machinery in The Times and Democrat offibe is run by electric power furnished by the city electric plant Orangeburg has the Gamewell Fire Alarm System to summon her ex cellent fire department to the scene of a fire. She has paved sidewalks and streets, and other comforts for those who live within her borders. We do not say these things in a boastful way but simply to let those who do not live here know what we have in the way of modern conven iences and comforts. These are pub lic utilities owned by the city and op erated for the benefit of all the people at or about cost. In this spect Orangeburg surpasses many of the large cities of the country, which shows she is abreast of the time. The business concerns of the city are on a solid foundation and are able to met all competition by, sell ing goods at most reasonable prices. The banks have a combined oapl al, surpassing many larger towns in the State. They are ably officered, conservatively managed, and are do ng their full share towards the de elopment of legitimate enterprises and business ventures. Then we have flourishing building and loan associations that help men of no means to buy comfortable homes. We will enumerate some of the advantages that Orangeburg enjoys, ix Protestant denominations are rep resented here with congregations, so are the Catholics and Hebrews among white people, and three Protestant denominations are represented mong the colored people. Two fine large brick school houses are pro vided for the white children, with a corps of nearly twenty teachers, and good frame building for colored children, with six teachers. Orange burg is well provided with schools and churches Superstition and distrust, with which secret orders were once re garded by a large number of people, as, happily, long ago dispelled, and today the lodge sands as one of the champions of the home and family. Wherever society has reached a high state of development, secret and fraternal orders have their greatest stronghold. Orangeburg has the Ma sons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pyth ias, The Elks, Knights of Honor, Woodmen of the World and several smaller social clubs among the se cret or fraternal orders. During the last quarter of a cen tury a movement among women, re markable for its scope and intent, has spread from one end of the coun try to the other. It is known as the women's movement, and is recogniz ed among people who give thought to the sociological progress of the race, as the most noticeable step for vard recorded in the evolution of womanhood. In this 'broad move ment Orangeburg has her full share, and its widening influence permeates all grades of society. The name of our town stands for a picture in the minds of all who have lingered even for a few fleet ing days within the charm of its woo ing beauty. It stands not alone as a present picture, but as the future ideal of its own loyal citizens. It is unique among other towns of the :3tate, as an ideal little city of homes, even as the whole county Is uinque for its wealth, fertility and manifold attractions. Orangeburg is noted for its handsome 'business house and beautiful homes. There is not a better or cleverer lot of people on the planet than those who make up the citizenship of Or angeburg. Her professional and bus iness men will compare favorably with those of any community any where. Her citizens and mechanics and her young men, are all patriotic and loyal. Our girls are the pretti est and sweetest in the world, but this could not be otherwise, when the charm and beauty of their moth ers are noted.

It has been many years since Hor ace Greeley made famous the phrase "Go West, young man." During that time the South has made tre mendous changes. Since Sherman marched through leaving ashes an ruined homed in the nlacc^r of beau the brink of the most prosperous tations, the people of the South have risen far trom where he left it. Her recovery has been complete And now, today, we are standing on the brink of the mont proseperou period in the history of the South Politically, she is again sweeping in to power as she was in the days be fore the war. The recent doings of Congress are coupled with the namea of Clark, of Missouri, Underwood, of Alabama, Martin of Virginia, Wil Hams, of Mississippi, and other men of the South. The South'.s part in the govern meat before the war, was one of con tinual g'ory. From the end of the Revolutionary war up to 1861, It was Southern spirit that ruled in Wash ington. The War of 1812, and the War with Mexico were distinctly Southern affairs. And in connec tion with these wars South Carolina played a most important part. When the War of 1812 was being discussed Calhoun was the able defender of the government's course. Later as secretary of War, he practically en gineered the annexation of Texas. Therefore, with political powefr the prospects are. altogether too bright for her sons to emigrate to ether states. In financial ways, the same great change is coming. No longer does Northern money finance our cotton mills, and other industries. Each year the cotton trade with Europe alone brings the .balance of money in this country. The prospect is brighter than ever before. And so young man, if you are looking; for an opening for life work, stay at home, and by home we mean this same State of South Carolina There is a better opening now than there ever has been. A new era is be ing opened, and all manly men can share it. Do your part well, and success will come to you. FOR EVERYTHING IN FURNITURE Courteous and Efficient. One thing about the merchants of Orangeburg that has contributed largely to the success of their indi vidual businesses and the prosperity of Orangebui^ j?nerally is the uni form courtesy that is extended to every customer. When he comes to invest 5 cents of $50 he is always sure to receive polite attention due him as a man and a customer. And the clerks know their business? don't you forget it. That is always one-half of selling goods.
