Orangebuirgr Loses Steeple Thalt WaIs Oriamtient to City. Orangeburg, May N6.-- Old things are missing away-soiue say they must and liew things are taking li their plac es. The congrc'gat Ion of the First Baptist church is having a large ad dition mnade to tie crliich billing, and in order to maintain synmetry and architectural form it has been (le cided to relove Ithe steelie which has been an ornatiient to the city for 10lo these many years. It was to tills stee ple that the weather prophets looked for guilance-the wly the wilnd was blowing-what, the season would likely be, was it a good tiie to go fishing. Standing as it, did, the slightest breeze or change in the weather cirrent, was instantly indilte(d by this unfailing ionitor. Iltt it s gone. The tip whclhb has pointed Ileaven ward for iore than three score years and the arrow which doggedly stood in the fa e of breeze andl blast--four sqluare to all who looked, since ile tilme of whicho tle present generation knows notinilug, are dhownl, flat and1( low, niever to rise again. This steeple0 was iregardled by archi tects as a maiisterpiiece of Its kind in symmlletry andu general beauty, and0 was nearly l100 feet hilgh. The additioni to the building will be puishedi to ani early13 complitetion. whleni the llaptIst of thle cIty will have a chutrchi edifIce comiparable wvith any in the state. it it will be pirovided, b-e sIdes roomt for clhurchi itnld Sitnd~ay school pu11rposes, rooms for thi evariou s board and1( societlos of thle church and iti other conivenlences.
