We call attention to ibis new and excellent invention, the right to which for Urangehurg and Bn in well Counties has been purchased by Messrs. Edwurda & Thompson. Wt have seen the machine and witnessed its opcrati us and were pleased with its simplicity and rapidity of execu tion. The above gentlemen are too business like to be deceived, au ^ we think our farmers would do well to call on them. It can be seen at Mr. Tike's store.

It is with pain that we learn of tho dentil of ibis eminent physician in New York on Tuesday. His illness has been of long dura tion, aggravated, it ia thought, from poison received into his .system from a cut in the baud while engaged in the dissect ing room. Dr. Darby was reared in St. Matthews, where he leaves many relatives. Ho was a man ol' unusual talents, anel having enjoyed great ad\ in lugea of acquiring knowledge, he became ?me of the most distinguished physi cians of the United States, occupying prominent positions in New York, Philadelphia and in this State. His father died in Ornhgcburg but u few years ago. Gen. Preston, his father-in-law, was with him in New York, but re turned for bis home in Columbia the day before ho died, supposing ho would linger for months. His lass is universally felt. Wo extend our heartiest sympa thies to his relatives in the vicinity of Eon Motto. Oraugel'ii rpt? Improvements of a substantial chaiacter are about commencing, which auger well for the future pros pects of our town. The Reliucry of .Mr. Cornels.>n has been started, which, when completed, will prove an incalculable benefit to the whole community. The founda tion, too, is being laid for Dr. Dukes' new storo which will bean ornament to ' his part of the town. Whon wc look back and boo the progress of Orangoburg it seems to us that every citizen should lud gratified. Seven years ago there was but one main street. To day there nie two others running parallel with Russell, opening up a quantity of new nud beautiful building lots, u large number of which have been built up with neat ami comfortable dwellings, and still there is room. Uthcr cross streets are now needed between tho. Railroad and the street by Doyle's store, as we have bt fore urged, and wo are glad to learn Lhat one i.s now in contemplation. Resides this, tho big lire swept away a number of wooden buildings which has been replaced with sub stantial brick ones, giving an air of com forluble permanence. \Ye believe there are few interior towns which have improved more ittrcly and rapidly than ours, and wo don't know of u County which oilers better chances foi making an honest living. Let us go to work with new vigor jndcr the encouragement an I inspi rulion of the past, and linking for ward with hope and confidence fur the future. Oranffebttrg Abroad? The Darlington Sonlliei'iir.r take the following fi\>m our neigh bor, the Democrat^ and makes it a text for a long lecture on " Drunkenness und its Itcsults:" "We saw more drunken men in ! ho streets of Orangoburg last Saturd ny and heard of more fights, than com ports with iho dignity df our town ami the good morals of our cili/.ilis. ' Wo don't exactly like our co n muiiity to he lectured so publicly by the ftyuf/ivrHvr on account of the. reported misdemeanors of a few in dividuals. We don't real!}' think we d< serve it. Orangeburg is as quiet and sober a town as thero is in the .State. In fact, we have hen-d strangers who visited ns on public days, say lhat our County is remarkable for its free dom from druukcui C;S, rioting and crime. A IIi?h-IIauded lujuntice Since the South Carolina Railroad bus come into the bands of a Receiver a high-hauded injustice has been practiced upon the people in the refusal of the Company to pay for the slock killed. Such an actcann ol be justified by any principles of law and equity, t:ud it connot stand. Is the Railroad to be an irresponsible monster, dashing through the land killing ami devouring wherever and whatever it pleases ? As things now stand the Railr. ad is in the Court, and to sue it is to sue the Court. It is the duty of the Court, the:i, t'? see that justice is done and reparation made. Let it not be said that the temple of justice has become an engine of < ppre-sion and wiong. If wc mistake not tho char ter of the Company requires that the Road must either fence In their land or pay for damages. If this is not so it should be a >. Let the Court see to its duty, and st p this foolishness Down with monopolies WC sa) every time. Tcaclu'r'h Institute? In another column wo print the official report of tho proceedings ol this Institute which was formed in the Court 1 loose on Saturday. We regret to note the exceedingly .-mall turn out. There can hardly be less than run hundred teachers in the County, and yet with all the communications and references to the subject, and with the known fact that Maj. Thoiliptoil, Superintendent of ICdiication would he present to address the met ting, only IS teachers, male and female, white and colored were enrolled. These organized by the selection of the various officers. For tho Presi dency the contest was between Mr. Sheridan a.id Prof. Holloway, the, odier gen;lumen, as soon as named, having declined. The result of the vote was 10 for the former, and 8 for the. latter. ? We hope lhat there may be sonic excuse for the small attendance, and that the next meeting may be larger and more enthusiastic. A greater interest in the cause of education, and an elevation ami improvement ol the profession of teaching is need ed; and if tho Institute is properly conducted both objects may bo at tained. Maj, Thompson's speech was excel lent and gave much food for profita ble thought. lirnncliville I>ot?? An interesting meeting of tho Methodists, was iu progress at Sai'dis Church during the past week. Dr. Raysor preached on Friday, Presid ing Elder Brown on Saturday and Sunday,and Rev. O. A. Darby on Monday night. The congregation j>n Sunday was very large. Mr. Brown taking as his text, Prov. xiv, 32, "flic wicked is driven a WAV in his wickedness; but tho righteous hath hope in his death." It ia hoped that much good bus been doueby tho meeting. Crops look weil, but are small. The last two weeks have been very dry and a great doal of gras? has been killed. Cats are good this sea son, and will save much to* the corn buyers. Business is dull. Smoak's mill is doing a rushing business , wagons are constantly hurrying to and fro. Deputy County Auditor DeTre ville (aid this town a visit last week, taking tax returns, aud made many frienda l?y his kindness towards the people. .t Higher Graded School? Wo have spoken of this need in Orangeburg before, but we are so thoroughly impressed with its impor tance that wc will keep the matter before the people. Wo do not ex pect in any way to be benefit ted pel tonally by the change which wc propose, therefore our notice should not be attributed to self-interest.. All we want is a well organized and thoroughly equipped grade ! school of a high standard, as may be found in almost e very County in the Stute. Private cflorls cannot accomplish it with the necessary satisfaction. Con solidation, and the co operation of tho lax-payers is necessary. They must put their hinds to the wheel. There must be a competent Hoard of Trus tees to have control, and the teach srs must be the be-t, and well paid, au 1 the school must bo und ;r tho most systematic and wholesome discipline. Hon. Samuel Dibble, who is on the Board of Examiners, and our worthy School Commissioner ahotil 1, an 1 w e have no doubl will, do their best in this line for the educational intere sts ol our township. Maj. Thompson, our State Super intendent of Education, in his speech on Saturday, showed the sp'ci.did working of such graded schools elsewhere, and wc see nothing ; to prevent tho inauguration of the I system liei e. J We ha* e heard many of our citi zens express the highest approval of i the scheme. In tho interest of Orangeburg wo commend the matter to Lite sori jus consideration of the influential gen tlemen we have named. Wo warn the whites tose;}) iL that tho rising generation of their race may be well armed for the future battle of life in tho poss i >n of that power which knowledge alon e can give. Cla?in Dili verM?y? 'J he examination nf this (diu ation al institution for the colored youth of the State, took place on Monday and Tuesday. We iegret that we were not able to attend on account of our own school duties, but we have as certained from competent judges who did attend, that the Btudcn'S acquit ltd themselves with great credit to themselves and their instructors. They exhibited careful training ami a laudiblo zeal iulhj a -pi isitiou of knowledge. The exhibition taking place on Wednesday afternoon, we. were able j to get out, and wore highly pleased .with the exercises. Tho sp-aking j was capital, and sonio of the origin j al pieces deserve the highest com mendation on account of their grace of diction and extended ra:ig>i ol* thought. The declamations in Greek und Latin showed a familiarity with th o pronunciation of these languages which is praiseworthy. We noticed that all the speakers took their time, without rushing through, which contributed largely to the success of their efforts. All performed their parts well, Out wc were particularly struck with the efforts of W. L. Bulkley, D. II. Bowen and ?I. C. Martin. At the closo of the exercises a diploma was conferred on a daughter of Hev. Middlotou, who is a gra lu ale in the. Normal department. Prizes were also awarded to the pupils who were : ho successful c i:n< Petitors in oratory on Tuesday night.. Dr. Cooke and the whole faculty should feel gratified at tho successful closing of tiie College. Our readers should bo informed that this institution is div ided into two separate and distincts parts, the '?Olaflin University," and the "Col lege of Agriculture." Tho latter is in charge of the- State, the Committee of the Board of Trus tees of tho South Carolina Universi ty being Hon, Sain'l Dibble, Hon. C. II. Simoutou and lion. Culdwcll,and tlio Faculty with Dr. Coolcc being our native Southerners W. J. Do Treville, Jr. and Mr. Jas-. L-u Roche. The Faculty of Clailin consists of Dr. Cooke u*, President, an i Prof. Lawrence and Miss Merrill. There is also a Primary Department under Prof. Middleton. Wc arc glad to hear that the scheme is working in perfect harmony and that the prejudices of the past are fast passing away. The bill passed by our Legislature for higher education in the State has thus, by a foitunate circumstance, commenced to operate UVst on the colored yotlih. I>oCtI< <I ijigiiluitiK!
