Ajc*tu The Reaper appears in onr midst j to cull for his garden in Paradise. J On Wednesday night an infant i daughter of Mr E. S. Hnbbull suc cumbed to the gradual encroachment of a long und paiuful illness. The funeral ceremonies were performed yesterday at the I'resby terian Church. Our sympathies are with" the mourn ing parents who we know will bow submissively lo the rod, feeling that? ?fTwaa netla cruelty, not in wrath The Kcaper came that day. 'Twftfi an anfiel visited die green earth And took the floweret away." A Hat hin? IAoiihp Is in contemplation by the young men to be erected on the river. A pluu Las been drawn proposing six apartments with n pleasant veranda on top for smoking and otherwise re creating. It is to be built by sub | scriptiou, und we hope that even the hard times will not stand in the wa/ of its completion. Somebody says that cleanliness is next to holiness. It certainly is promotive of health, anil ou this ground we hope the bathing liouso will be built. Orango burg should have had oue long be fore, HoiiHe lliirnt ? We regret to learu that the fine residence of Col. J. C. Edwnrds, about fifteen miles from Urangeburg, was totally destroyed by fire on lust Friday 'about 12 o'clock. The fire was caused from a spark on the shed There is no insurance, although we are told that Col. Edwards had spoken to insurance agents only a few weeks before, aud had the matter in consideration. Mr;. Edwards was very sick at the time and had to bo moved. Our sincere sympathies are with Col. E. in his heavy loss, and we hope that good fortune may smile upou him in the future, and enable him to recover lost ground. During Itobbcry ? On Monduy night two houses in our town, Mr. Williamson's and Mr. Sheridan's, were entered by robbers. Mr. Williamsou'a was entered by a side window, a carpenter's work bench, some fivo feet high, being brought up from another part of tho yard for the purpose. The thief went into the bed room and curried ofT a pair of pants with a bunch of koys In longing to tho house, among which was also the key to the. iron safo. Mr. W, feared, the next niorniiig, thut his sale was robbed too, but about 10 o'clock in tho day the keys were touutl in tl o yard where the probably frightened thief had dropped them, upon inv cstigatiou it was.foundI that the safe was untouched so that Mr. Williamson's actual loss f was only a pair of half worn pants, i about ono dollar and ten cents, aud a ! poeket knife. Mr. Sheridan did not faro as well. It is said that the scoundrel carried off his wearitig apparel, watch, and pocket book containing money, pa pers, &c. Marshal Cannon is on the track and we hope may fiud the burglar, and recover the goods. Bnviiwell Items? A correspondent informs us of much sickness in this County, Mr. J. Y. Calhoun has already shown cotton forms out of his field. Com crops aie reported as looking remarkably well. Ruins abundant and grass growing. The experience in Orangcbury does not differ mate rial 1 v. Quo of the penitentiary convict* engaged in working upon the Barn well Railroad, made his escape on Tuesday morning. Mr. Woodward, the contractor, will spare no pains to capture the fugitive. Teacher's Convention? As we nre able to gather up the facts in reference to this proposed Convention, we puhlidi them for the benefit of our readers interested in the matter. We happened to notice, by a letter of Prof. J. O. B. Hollo way, that Saturday, June 7th, is ap pointed for the meeting, and that Hon. Hugh S. Thompson, Superin tendent of Education, has promised to be present to aid by his counsel; He see, also, by a publication else where, from our worthy School Com* . missioner, that too more teachers have been added to tho Committee on Organization, T. J. P. Walsh and D. R. Sh in nah in, Esqs. Tins is an important accession, and still farther exhibits the wisdom of our Commis sioner, both gentlemen being expe rienced teachers. \V?s hope the Convention will be a success, us it surely must work benefit to the cause of education in our midat, in which all ure more or less interested. 4. II ??IIIIII fJIIMI - The IMflcrciicc? Friei.d T. C. Alhergotti luts called our utteution to the (bllowiug facts on the tax hooks which are particu larly interesting, us practically do-, moustraliug the difference in a pecu niary poinc of view between Demo cratic and Radical rule in Orange burg: A plantation containing 5,555 acres wrs taxed under Radical rule iu 1871, $304 70; in 1872, $038.75; in 1873, $756.21, etc In 1878, under Democratic rule, the game property was taxed ouly $202.05, not one-fourth as much as in 1871 under Radical rule. This was the only year of Demo cratic valuation as well as taxatiou Otir attention was also cd led to the fact that the taxes ot tho last three. years with the disadvantage of Radi cal valuation for two of them amount to ouly $29.08 more than fo the single year 1871. "lie tnat hath ears to hear let him hear." The II cut hen Chinee? On Sunday eveniug Rev. J. B. IIatwell, Missionary of the Southern Baptist Convention to the Chinese in America, delivered a most interesting address in the Baptist Church on "Tho Chinese, und the problem their presence in America prescuts to our peop'e." Invitation having been sent to tho other churches i*? the town, a largo and appreciative audience was pres ent. The reverend speaker having spent the most of his lifo in China, and having a mind well stored with knowledgo acquired fr im extended observation as well as study, and withal being a clear, logical, aud for ciblo speaker, kept his audience on tertained for more iliau a.i hour. He bhowed the depraved condition of these people in their native land, under the teachings of their sages and heathen philosophy, aud proved Iroin scripture as well as from his own personal observation \\\ China that the light of Christian knowledge was tho on y thing that could elovato thorn from their moral filth. lie said that tho Chinese wero coming to the United States?that they wero alicndy here. That thoy would surround us on all sides as laborers or otherwise, and come they would, whether we wanted them or not?law or no law. It is astern and to I id fact wc have to deal with. \\ hat arc we going to do about it ? There is, he eaid; but one hone. Meet tlicm na they land upon tho shores of America with the iiiblo which is the only menus of elevating them nnd making them lit to live amoug a civilized people. If we fail iu our duty in this re spect, they will be a damning curse nnd blight upon our civilization Tho Episcopal Concert? Last Friday evening was as com plete and grand n success ns we havo ever had in Orangeburg. The pro gramme as published in our last isiue was c irried out with perfect satis faction to the large audieuce, whiu h as we predicted, the known reputa tion of the performers attracted. The best evidence of the high apprecia tion was the frequency oi the encore* which greeted the performers, and especially Mrs. Knowlton nnd Dr. 'laber. who were several times brought back to the footlights, und retired amidst n shower of bouquets. Miss Ullic Wnnnnmaker who was called in at n late hour to ta?o th" I lace of one who was deterred fr?m coming through providential inter j feretice, in spite of her youth, per j form her part in a manner which would have reflected credit upon ona of riper years. The performances on the piano by Mis. Kuhn und Miss Jacobson were of the first order aud elicited hearty applause. Tho qunrtetlo sung by Mr. K?hn, Mr. Kowles, Mr. La Koche nnd Mr. | T. L. Wnnnninuker was deservedly encored. | Our Southern Home by Gussie anil Fannie Knowlton was well done, ex hibiting the best of training. Mr. Jacobson as violinist aud Copt. Glover us accompanist con tribuled much to the effect of the pieces. -A recess of half an hour \\ns given during which refreshments were served up by the Committee consist ing of Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Legare, Miss Muckcy and Mrs. Melliehaiu]. Alter the lecess, besides the music, a recitation was given by Prof. Lawrence which kept tho audience in a roar of laughter. The delightful entertainment wound up with selections from the popular burlesque of 11MS Pinafore which was full of fun from the begin ning to the cud. We have heard the remark that Mr. Henry Kohimper sonated tho Captain with better effect than any one who has essayed the character iu Charleston aud else where. A little iucid cut at this point is worthy of mention. Just as tho ladies were taking their positions Mrs. Knowlton's dress took fire from the footlights. Iiis'.cad of becoming excited, as is so common, she looked upon the whole with perfect indiffer ence and composure until it was ex- i tinguished, thus preventing what might have been a serious accident. We are informed that the proceeds J of the eutertainmeut arc regarded as handsome for the hard times, aiid we congratulate our Episcopal frieuds upon their success not only pecuni arily, but iu furnishing the com munity with a rare and admirable musical treat. Without detracting, in the least, from the credit due to all who par ticipated in this nr. st excellent aud long to be remembered concert, we must be allowed to accord the full mead of praise to Mr. und Mrs. Knowlton for their zeal and gratify ing success in the good cnusc. The Ltitkeruii Pic-JHc? Our reporter having partially re covered from the effects of a vain eflbit to create a scarcity of eatables at this pic-nic on the '22nd, has hand ed in bis notes, from which wo learn that the occasion was as successful and enjoyable a one as wo mentioned in our last issue, that it promised to be. Arrangements bad been made tor scholars and teachers to meet at the Church early on Thursday morning. It required several trips to carry the wlxdo party, to tho ground. When they urrived at thoir desti nation a croquet party was organized by the young ladies, and a game of ball by the young men. Word was then given that the presence of all was desired at a point selected by tho managers, whero alter singing that beautiful hymn, "Shall we gather at the River?" in which old nnd young joined, the Divine blessing was I invoked upon the occasion by an im ! pressiVQ prayer by the pastor, Rov. j Mr. Kiser, which was followed by short addresses from Mr. Ogren and j Mr. Boliver. Tho pleasure of tho day having been thus formally and appropriately opened the, yarbiis amusements were beguu and kept up until the huur iur refreshments arrived. As this was a basket pic nic, no generil table was prepared, but the numerous basket* had been well fill ed, and the good things wero brought forth in such quantities as fo show that a much larger company had been expected and provided for. Iced lemonade, the materials for which wero furnished by Mr. Boliver, was prepared by our friend, Mr. Loryea, who proved himself, not only then, but throughout the day, a in ost etli - cient aid to tho manager.'*, After dinner tho games Were con tinued until about f>.?'c'o;k when the children were culled together to re ceive the prizes which harl beeu won by them in the di fie rent games. They were distributed to the following: Glitte. Ida Zeigler, Annie Ogr.Mi, Annie Thompson, Aunie Addon, Annie banner, Gertie Bolivor, Olivia Doyle. II >Y8. Johuuie Ogrcn, Henry Boliver, doc Link, Willie Mjrmey, Wo*l.?/ Mr >wn, Claude Neuflfer. The prizes were by no means trif Wwj, consisting of lamps, oar-riugs. balls, breast-pins, b ittbs parfumery, books &c. All who wished were allowed to compete for the prizes, and many of them were won by members of other schools While tho prizo3 were bjlng dis tributed a threatening cloud appeared in tho horizon nnd fear of a drench ing caused a rather hurried daparturo. Bo ended a day of pleasure, which we hope to see repeated annually here after. '1 he Lutherans desire to express their thanks to those not m mibers of this Church, whr? by their presence and material aid contributed largely 10 the success of the occasion. .lie! ho dint Plo-Nlo? According to previous appoint ment, the children of this Church, and their guests, started at an early hour on Tuesday morning in wagons and buggie.4 to the delightful grovo at Col. A. D. Frederick's, selected by the Committee for the Annual pic nic. We arrived on the ground after tho morning amusements wore over, and were compelled to leave bjfore tho afternoon c.xercies wero com pleted; but wo saw enough to con vince us that tho as wjil as yo rig wero enjoying bhemselvcs to their hearts content. We note with pleasure tho mirk el and courteous attention paid by the Comroittte of arrangement to all present, and their manifest desire to make every one feel at home. Col. Frederick too, at whose home the party met. pleased us ouaccmnt of the general character of his atten tions, and the timely exhibitions of that politeness and courtesy for which he is distinguished. From what wo coul 1 gather it ap pears that the morning was happily spent by the juveniles of both sexes in foot races, croquet and rope danc ing, a prizo of huge sticks of caud y being put up for the victors. We hear that tho fortuuato ones wero Claude Neufier, M. Brown, Mary Bruuson, Lilly Bull and J. Link. A striking and amusing feature of the day was tho menagerie or side show kept by Mr. Street. His wild animals created quite an oxcitoinonL among the visitors to his can vas. Tho gamos and amusementt were neatly aud judicious y iutorpersod with lemonade. Between ono aud two o'clock the rrowd betook themselves to tho din ner so sumptuously provided and generously served, and became thor oughly refreshed for the afternoon enjoyments. About 4 o'clock the Baso Ball Clubs, tho Juniors and llautptont proceeded to the ground followed by a large portion of the crowd whero a most exciting gnme was played. At first the Humpiviu got tho ail vantage,' but soon the Junior* commenced to gain upon them until they finally came off the victors, beating thoir opponents by five. The scoro stood 43 for the Juniors, and 38 for tho Hamptons. Tho following is the list of tho Clubs: JUNIORS. John Zieglcr, M. Hatch, Warren Gardner, Willie Meroney, Georgo Zeigler, Arthur Brown, Churlio Dan uer, Bobbie Dukes aud-Link. HAMPTONS. I Eddie Seovillo, Hart Moss, Henry I Brunsou, Joe Liuk, Theodore Jeff ords, Charlie Glorer, Klliott Glovsr, Peter Brunsen and George Collier. The boys conrpoaiug these two elubi are ns hue looking a set aa we find anywhere, which together With their gay costumes and skilful mfliicaVere added much to the enlivenrdent of the occasion. We wish them long life, aud a continuance of the spirit of wholesome aud friendly emulation which now actuates them.
