Our friends wishing to have ad vertincments Inserted in the TIMES, must hand them in by Monday morning, 10 o'clock. 1 v TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Copy for one year, - $2.00 " f* M Six Months, - - . 1.00 ! Dr. E. J. Olivcros. * The sudden and melancholy ueutli of this estimablo citizen on Tuesday last, has cast a deep gloom over the entire community. Indeed, a light has gone out which will be seriously missed. Dr. Oliveros was widely known and universally beloved. His kind and genial disposition j his affable manners, and above all, his warm heart?gained him a place in the affections of every member of the community. Orangeburg has .indeed been sorely scourged, amidst all her recent calam ities, to be deprived of such a citizen. He was in the prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness, aud he possessed all those traits of character and sterling qualities which will make his loss irreparable. His tastes were cultivated to a high degree, and in the exercise of them he contributed not only to his own enjoyment, but to tho happiness of all around him. The circumstances of his death were peculiarly touching. His recent heavy losses by the fire caused him to move hastily into his beautiful dwelling, . which he had nearly completed, and doubtless his anxiety to promote the comfort of his dear ones caused the fatal fall which has ended so sadly. We would not lilt the veil which covers the grief of this afflicted family. We tender them our heartfelt sym pathies, and shall endeavor with them to bow iu humble Submission to that Supreme Wisdom which has taken away from thorn a. loved. protector, nnd from the community a valued citi zen. Hard as it is, let us dry our tears an the comforting solace that "our loss is his eternal gain." IIumukrt apcaks again. Read Ida letter. T - ? , mm, Coon!

Wn repeat the high appreciation by the white people of the noble and unselfish action of colored men at the recent fire. -m * mm ?-? , We would state that we arc not responsible for the dispatch on the fire, signed M., as it appeurcd in the News and Courier of the Gth of Janu ary. ~? mt m ?? A New York paper nominates Moil. David Davis as the best Democratic candidate for President. This won't do, for tho Radicals will be sure to make out that he ii the veritable Jef ferson or his first cousin. We apologize to our readers for appearing a day later last week; but we trust the fact that our sub scription book v? is mislaid in the con fusion of the fire, and that the pub lisher was sick, will be sufficient ex cuse. Wc notice from the windows of our office that even in spite of the bad weather tho work of clearing away the rubbish and preparing for rebuild ing is progressing, The fact is, the men who were burnt out in Orange burg arc not the kind of stuff to give wny to despondency. They may be cast down, but they are not dismayed. We venture the prediction that in less than three years the passer by would hardly know that tho town was nearly destroyed by fire. That's right, gentlemen. None but tho brave deserve success. As we promised in our lost issue as soon as the confusion of tho fire was over to give a statement of the individual losses, we will endeavor to do so to-day. The numerous ac counts heretofore given have been mostly estimates, but the following is the result of inquiry: T. B. Boyd, store and stock, $4,000, besides the manuscript of o book; no insurance. J.

Robson Esq., in an other column, and also to the fact that he has reduced the price of his Soluble Pacific to $46 cash, and his Acid Phosphate to $30 cash and $35. time. Nothing pays better than high manuring. Now is the time to buy, and Mr. Robson is the man to buy from. Mr. Robson also requests us to state that on all sales this season the overcharge will be refunded on application to him. A Voice from the Jail OnAXOEBURO Jail, January 4, 1875. 2o the Editor of the Nein and Courier: I Bee in your issue of January 2d, 1875, a letter frum B. Williamson, wherein he attempts to defend T. C. Andrew?. I can't expect Williamson to defend me, for the reason that Andrews is his brother-in-law, but 1 desire to say'a few words in annwer to his cards. The people of Orangeburg know Andrews, they know Williamson and they knew me, and they believe that 1 have been robbed by this "honest" Senator. In his card Wil liamson denies that I was made to employ him. If Williamson will show the agree ment I was made to sign in his prenence, it will be seen that Andrews was to have the manipulation of the State and county taxes, and that Williamson was to receive a salary for services; and that Williamson was to keep the agreement as a third party. That Williamson was to pay one month's salary and Andrews one month's salary to an as sistant. This paper Williamson took out of my sale in February last, and carried to his house. It is true that I was told to watch Williamson, and the leta he says about oth ers who were in my office the hett?r. Williamson took charge of the money when 1 was absent. Now about that shameful store account. 1 again assert tho truth of what 1 am re ported by the News and Courier as having said. Andrews' tax receipts were given from the collection certificates, and the stubs are not in Williamson's possession, but, what is more to the point, Williamson'* handwriting i) upon the back of oach col lection certificate. Ko rauch for Andrews' brother-in-law, Williamson. Another victim comes to the rescue of Senator Andrem?the local editor of the Orungc'uurg Newt. But il falls r.ith ill grace from him. Has he not been hers to jail to me trying to get me to make an ex pose o( the affair? When he says that An drews helped to build me up, lie makes a mistake. He should havo said he was the means of breaking me down. If the local editor of the Orangeburg Newt knows as much as he pretends to know, why in Heav en's name don't he tell it. In conclusion, let me say that Andiews cannot make a denial of the charges'against him by threatening to convict me. He can only save himself by withholding the preof. I trust in the Divine Providence, if I am to be convicted, to give me power before that time comes, to exposo this "honest" senator, who, in view of his- age, experience ana politics, should have been an advisor to me, and not the means of ruin. While I am lying in jail in mid winter, 8enator An* drews is at his fireside with his family, and, in the face of this, the Ornngcburg Newt has the heart to say that Andrews built me up. When the trumpet of the court is sounded, and Senator Andrews makes bin reply, I will be ready to meet him. Respectfully, 3 J. L. HUMBERT. COMMERCIAL.
