Many friends went with them. Du hing the storm of Tuesday a bouse at the Dwight place was blown down and killed a colored child. Mit. Echard will leave on Tuesday next! Bo sure to give him a call be fore he goes, tied get a good picture. Mr. G. R. Shirer was relieved of fifty dollars a day or two since, by some needy fellow, who fnucicd his pocket book. At a culled meeting of the citizens of Poplar township a Tax Union wns organized consisting of white and col ored immborw.with a fl tttci ing prospect of success. The Tux Union formed July 9th, was in Elizabeth Township, instead of Limestone. This Union will meet, on the. 4th Thursday of each month, at Kiiotts' lower Mill. The picked nine who went to Cam den met their opponents aud beat them badly. Canulcn will not stay beaten, and another game will be play cd here It was pleasant trip. The attention of the town Marshal in called to n noisy rendezvous on Rus sell street near the railroad. A class! there arc free to yell to the annoyance of the neighbors, aud wrangling and outrageous language is an every night performance. We have receiveda letter from a col ored man with reference to the dis graceful scene of Monday, a weeK ago; We endorse his sentiments as to the rowdyism, but think it would be mak ing too much of too little to print all the truths he tells. We learn that a large number of white aud colored people assembled at Rowcs Pump to form a Tax Union. They enrolled thirty names to their list, of both white ard colored." Tho colored people are for reform as well as the whites. Orange Township is not doing its duty. The supply of fruit this season has been very abundant, and of excellent, variety. Wc have heard of many cases where apples aud peaches for want of purchasers were wagoned home again to bo fed to hogs, and owing to a glut ted market fruit generally brought low prices. The new street during tho late heavy rains has been badly washed, and keeps tho Council on the move to fill the gullies and fissures. We have but a word to say about the present board of Council; they have au eye to the interests of the public, aud deserve great praiie, in a duty that is a heavy tax upon their time, without any piofit. County Tax Union.?A meeting of delegates with the purpose of form ing a County Tax Union took place on Monday the 3rd of August, at Orange burg Court house. Col. A. 11. Good wyn acting Chairman, and Edward Felder Secretary; Mr. P. 8. Felder in a very appropriate speech explained fully the nature of the meeting, after which the following officers were elected: President, A. D. Goodwin, Vice-President, F. W. Fuirey, Secretary, H. G. Sheridan, Treasurer, James Stokes. The Executive Committee will meet on the Saturday before the first Mon day in September. The County Union meeting will be held on the first Mon day in September, to which a full attendance of the Delegates from all the townships is earnestly requested, as business of importance will come bofore the meeting. We noticed that there were several colored Delegates present, and we can only bid tho great work go on, which enlists the support of all. Lightning?Wonderful Escape Strange Freaks.?During the storm of Wednesday night of last week, at about 82 o'clock a bolt of lightning struck the southern chimney of the house of Mr. E. Ezekiel, leaving the ehimney a mass of debris and a wreck. At the time Mr. Ezekiel was in the passage, and Mrs. Ezekiel was attend ing to house duties. Four little chil dren and their two nurses lay in the room whore the fearful messenger entered, but all escaped by the hand of miracle. The chimney was torn to atoms to within a few feet of the attio floor, and the bricks were broken and hurled over the yard. The attic win dow next to the chimney was smashed both glass and frame. The shingles on the eaves wore lifted, and the attic floor was bursted through. The bolt entered the chamber in seven places where the children lay (ono in a crib and three upon an iron bodstead with iron posts). Six holsa like pistol shots in a cluster leaving a smoky mark on tho ceiling, and one place at the south side of the room about six feet from the six holes showed tho course of the bolt. It glanced to the iron bed, un der the crib, and passed out tearing of the weather boarding directly at the' head of the crib. The infant did not awake until roused by its parents. A calf under the front of the house was killed. The damage to Mr. Ezckicl's house.is cousidcinblc, but he has our congratulations'.Iu\t his fumilyescaped so fearful a danger. . RED RUST PROOF 0AT8.
