A pluu has been drawn proposing six apartments with n pleasant veranda on top for smoking and otherwise re creating, it is to be built by sub script ion, and we hope that even the hard times will not .-land in the way* of its completion. .Somebody says that cleanliness is next to holiness. It certainly is promotive of health , and ou this ground we hope the bathing house will bo built. Orango burg should have had one long be fore. House llurat ? We regret to learn that tho fine residence of Col. J, C. Edwards, about fifteen miles from Orangeburg, was totally destroyed bv fire on last Friday 'about 12 o'clock. The fire wns caused from a spark on tho shed There is no i neu ranee, although we are told that Col. Edward* had spoken to in-urauce agents only a fow weeks before, and had the matter in consideration. Mr;. Edwards was very sick at the time and had to bo moved. Our sincere sympathies arc with Col. E. in his heavy loss, and we hope that good fortune may smile uj,on him in the future, aud enable him to rccovi r lost ground. Daring Ilobbery? On Monday night two bot*ses in our town, Mr. Williamson's and Mr. Sheridan's, were entered by robbers. Mr. Williamson's was entered by a side window, a carpenter's work bench, tome fivo feet high, being brought up from another part of tho yard for the purpose. The thief went into the bed room aud carried oft' a pair of pants with a bunch of j koys belonging to tho house, among which was alfsu tho key to the iron safo. Mr. W. feared, the next morning, that his sale was robbed too, but about 10 o'clock in the day the keys were lotiud in tl o yard whero the probably frightened thici had dropped tln ns. Upon inv t-atigattou it WM.found that the safe was untouched ho thut Mr. Williamson's actual los* wus only ti pair of half worn pants, about one dollar and ten cents, and a pocket knife. Mr. Sheridan did not fare as well. It is said that the scoundrel carried off hie wearing apparel, watch, and pocket book containing money, pa pers, &c. Marshal Cannon is on the track and we hope may find tho burglar, and recover the goods. llnriiwell Items A correspondent informs us of much sickness in this Couuty. Mr. J. Y. Calhoun has already shown cotton forms out of his field. Com crops aie reported as looking remarkably well. Haina abundant J and grass growing. The experience in Orangeburg dues not differ mate rially. Ouo of the penitentiary convicts engaged in working upon the Barn well Railroad, made bis escape on Tuesday morning. Mr. Woodward, the contractor, will spare no pains to capture the fugitive. - i mmm* ? - ? ^??ii ? Toucher's Convention? As we are able to gather tip the facts in reference to this proposed L'ouvcutioh, we puhlidt 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, tbat 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, lie see, also, by a publication else where, from our worthy School Com . missioner, that too more teachers have been added to the Committed on Organization, T. J. P. Walsh and D. R. Sh.tnuah in, Ksqs. This is an important accession, and still farther exhibits the wisdom of our Commis sioner, both gentlemen being expe rienced teachers. We hope the Convention will be a success, us it surely must work benefit to the cause of educatiou in our mid?t, iu which all are more or less interested. i-ssbsm The Iflficrcncc? Friei.d T. C. Alhcrgotti has called our attention to the lollowiug facts on the tax books which are particu larly interesting, us practically de-, moii?trating the difference in a pecu niary point of view between Demo cratic and Radical ru!o in Orange burg : A plantation containing 5,565 acres wrs taxed under Radical rule iu 1871, $854 70; in 1872, $038.75; in 1873,8756.21. Ac In 1878, under Democratic rule, the Mime property was taxed ouly 8202.05, not one fourth as much as in 1871 under Radical rule. This was the only year of Demo cratic valuation as well us taxation Our attention was also c tiled to the fact that the taxes ot tUo last three years with the disadvantage of Radi cal valuation for two of them amount to only S29.08 luoretban for the single year 1871. "He tnat hath ears to bear let him hear.*' Tho Men then Chinee? On Sunday evening Rev. J. B. Ilatwell, Missionary of tho Southern Baptist Convention to the Cbinosc in America, delivered a most interesting address in the Baptist Church on "The Chinese, and the problem their presence in America prescuts to our people." Invitation having been sent to tho other churches iu the town, a largo and appreciative audience was pros ent. The reverend speaker having spent the most of his life iu China, and having u mind well stored with knowledge acquired fr >ni extended observation as well as study, and withal being a clear, logical, and for cible speaker, kept his a idience en tertained lor more than a.i hour. He showed the depraved condition of these people in their native land, under the teachings of thoir sages and heathen philosophy, and proved irom scripture us well as from his own personal observation in China that the light of Christian knowledge was tho on'y thing that could elevate them from their moral filth. lie sai?l that tho Chinese wero I coining to the United Slates?that they wero already here. Tbat they would surround us on all sides ns laborers or other wise, nnd come they would, whether wo wanted them or not?law or no law. It is astern and bolid fact we have to deal with. \V hat arc wo goiug to I do nhout it ? I There is, he paid, but one hopo. Meet thtm as they land upon tho ?horcs of America with the Biblo which is the only menus of elevating them and making them lit to live amoug u civilizted people. If we fail iu our duty in this re spect, they will be a damning curse aud blight upon our civilization Tho ?plweopal Concert Last Friday evening was as com pete and grand a success as we havo ever had iu Oraugcburg. The pro gramme ns pu bib bed in our last issue was ctrricd out with perfect satis faction to the largo audience, which as we predicted, the known reputa tion of I he performers attracted. The best evidence of the high apprecia tion was the frequency o! the cncorci which greeted the performers, and especially Mrs. Knowlton and Dr. Tuber, who were several times brought hack to the footlights, und retired amidst a shower of bouquets. Miss Ollic Wununmakcr who was called iu at a late hour to ta>o th j lace of one vho was deterred fr*?m coming through providential inter ference, in spite of her youth, per form her part in a manner which would have reflected credit upon on-J of riper years. The performances on the piano by Mis. Kohu nnd Miss Jacobson were of the firbt order aud elicited hearty applause. Tho quartette sung by Mr. Kohu, Mr. Kowles, Mr. La Koche and Mr. T. L. Wanunmuker was deservedly encored. Our Southern Home by Gussie and Fannie Knowlton was well done, ex hibiting the best of training. Mr. Jacobson as violinist and Cant. Glover as accompanist con tributed much to the effect of the pieces. A recess of half an hour wns given duriug which refreshments were served up by the Committee consist ing of Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Legare, Miss Mackcy and Mrs. Mellichaui|. Alter the lecess, besides the music, a recitation was given by Prof. Lawrence which kept tho audicuco in a roar of laughter. The delightful entertain incut wound up with, selections from the popular burlesque of I1MS Pinafore which was full of fun from the begin ning to the end. We havo heurd the remark that Mr. Henry Kohimper sonated tho Captain with better effect thau any one who has essayed the character iu Charleston and else where. A little iucid out at this point is worthy of mcntiou. Just ns the ladies were taking their positions Mrs. Knowlton's dress took lire from the footlights. Ins cad of becoming excited, as is *jO common, she lookod upon the whole with perfect indifler cucc nnd composure until it was ex tinguished, thus preventing what might have been a serious accident. Wo are informed that the proceeds of the entertain n.ent are regarded as handsome for the hard times, and we congratulate our Episcopal friends upon their success hot only pecuni arily, but in furuishiug the com munity with a rare and admirable musical treat. Without detracting, in the least, from the credit due to nil who par ticipated in this m< st excellent and long to be remembered concert, we must be allowed to accord the full mead of praise to Mr. and Mrs. Knowlton for their zeal and gratify ing fcaccess in the good cause. The laitheran Pic-JIIc? Our reporter having partially re covered from the effects of a vain eflbit to create a scarcity of eatables nt this pic-nic on the 22nd, has hand ed in his notes, from which wo learn that the occasion was as successful und enjoyable a ono as we mentioned in our last issue, that'll promised to be. Arrangements had been made tor scholars and teachers to meet at tho Church early on Thursday morning. It required several trips to carry the whole party, to tho ground. When they urrived at thoir desti nation a croquet party was organized by the young Indies, and a game of ball by the. young men. Word was then given that die presence of all was desired at a point selected by the managers, where after singing that beautiful hymn, "Shall wc gather at the River?" in which old and young joined, the Divine blessing was invoked upon the occasion by an im pressive prayer by the pastor, R^v. Mr. Kiscr, which was followed by short addresses from Mr. Ogren and Mr. Boliver. The pleasure of tho day having been thus formally and appropriately opeusd tho yarbus amusements were beguu and kept up until tho hour lor refreshments arrived. As this was a basket pic nie, no genersl table was prepared, but the numerous baskets had been wcM fill ed, uud the good things were brought forth in such quantities as to show tbat a much larger company had been expected and provided for. Iced lemonade, the materials for which wore furnished by Mr. Boliver, was prepared by our friend, Mr. Loryea. who proved himself, not only then, but throughout the day, a tn ost etii - cient aid to tho managers. After dinner the games v.'ere con tinued until about 5o'o'ock when the children were od led together to re ceive the prizes widen ha?J beeu wou by them iu the different games. They were distributed to the following: GIRLS. Ida Zeiglcr, Annie Ogr.Mi, Annie Thompson, Annie Adtieu, Annie Dauuer, Gertie Boliver, Olivia Doyle. II ?Y8. Johnnie Ogren, Henry Boliver, Joe Link, Willie M*r>ney, Weil-?/ Br )wn, Claude Neuffer. The prizes were by no means trif Ii 11 consisting of lamps, oar-riug-i. I ball?, breast-pins, b)ttljs parfumery, j books Sic. 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 b^ing ?Iis tri hu ted a threatening cloud appeared I in the horizon nnd fear of a drench ing caused a rather hurried departure. , So ended a day of pleasure, which we I hope to see repeated annually here after. '1 he Lutherans desire to express their thanks to those not m unbars of this Church, who by their orvnence and material aid contributed largely to the success of the occasion. AIolhodlMt pIc^XIc According to previous appoint j ment. the children of this Church, aud their guests, started at an early hour on Tuesday morning in wagons and buggies to the delightful grove at Col. A. D. Frederick's, selected by the C >tn mi I tee for the Annual pic nic. We arrived on the ground after tho morning amusements were over, and were compelled to leave before the afternoon r.xoreies were com pleted; but we saw enough to con vince us that the as well ai yo rig were enjoying bhemnelvoi to their hearts content. We note with pleasure tho in irked and courteous attention paid by the Committte 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 tion-, and the timely exhibitions of that politeness and courtesy for which he is distinguished. From what we coul 1 gather it ap pears that tho morning was happily spent by tho juveniles of both sexes in foot races, croquet aud ropo danc ing, n prize of huge sticks of caud y being put up for the victors. We hear that tho fortunate ones wero Claude Xcufler, M. Brown, Marv Brunson, Lilly Bull and J. Link. A striking nnd amusing feature of the day was tho menagerie or side show kept by Mr. Street. His wild uuimula created quite an excitement, among the visitors to his can vas. Tho gumos and amusements woro neatly and judicious y iutorporsod with lemonade. Between one and two o'clock the crowd betook themselves to the din ner so sumptuously provided and generously served, ami became thor oughly refreshed for the aftern don enjoyments. About 4 o'clock the Baso Ball Clubs, tho Juniors and Hamptons proceeded to the ground followed by a large portion of the crowd where a most exciting game was played. At first the Ilomp ons got tho udvantago^ but soon the Juniors cemmcuued to gain upon them until they finally camo off the victors., heating thoir opponcuts by fivo. The scoro stood 43 for tho Juniors, and 38 for tho Hamptons, Tho following is the list of tho Clubs : JLNIOIIM. John Zieglcr, M. Hatch, Warren Garduer, Willio Meronoy, Georgo Zeigler, Arthur Brown, Churlio Dan iicr, Bobbie Dukes and- Link. HAMPTONS. F.ddie Scuvillo, Hurt Moss, Henry Bruusou, Joe Liuk, Theodore Jeff -? ? -BS?_S ords, Charlie Glovor, Elliott Glorer, Pete* Brunsen and George Collier. The boys composing these two clubi arc ns fine looking a net as wer find anywhere, which together With their gay costumes and skilful mtfUeaVer* added much to the eulivenniont of the occasion. We wish thcitt long life, and a continuance of the spirit of wholesome and friendly emulation which now actuates them.
