Editorial Rambios. As indicated in our last, we now I |vc a few notes of our rambles in tilt) bunty during the last week. On Monday in company with our (teemed friend Mr. D. O. Jones, dioso hospitality wc enjoyed during te trip, we visited a portion of Ljw eSt. Matthews. Wc hnd the crops in this section, Specially the corn, very much injur d by the drought. The cotton is Liing much better, and in some places u pretty lair crop may be found ivcrae.iiig well with the more favor (j parti of the County. This section C Orangeburg being our old home, \c were able to note very distinctly te changes that time h id wro Ught in t,e last decade. Ah it is in life, we found some go iig ahead, while others were fallin g hick. The improvement in the vicinity o'Snider's store was so marked that tic place almost presents the appear nice of a little village. Mr. Snider las put up a number of neat and m'mfortablo cottages, an excellent siw mill and other improvements, vt&ich having induced occupation, luve added much to the life of the community. Iu this neighborhood the Rev. D. V, Cultiuo resides, an able and clo queut divine, whose ministerial cforts since the war have been a blessing to the people. Here too at Jerusalem, a modest littlo church?removed from the public highways, lie v. F. Auld, so familiarly known to the people o 1 Orangeburg, is exercising a whole some Christian influence. Uor are the Lutherans behind in the- good work. Revs. Hal I man and VVirtz at Trinity, a beautifully located Church on the M inks Uorifor Ivoad, are holding forth tho lamp of life with a strong and steady band, and doing much good iu their day and generation. A lew miles below Rev. Getsingor at Autioch is doing a work which has already been recorded in our columns. Wc next visited a section on Four Holes. We here enjoyed the. bouute ous hospitality of Mr. (J. F. Bozard, whoso farm presents an air of neat ness and thrift which is characterises the yeomanry of Orangeburg. The crops in this section wc thiuk present a fair average with the rest of tho County. Mr. Michael Rilcy, a neighbor of Mr. Bozard, has a tine prospect, especially iu corn. Our next trip was taken to Ft. Motte on Friday. The corn in this section has been terribly injured by the drought. In many places it seems to be almost a complete failure. Tho cotton however U better, ami will make a fair crop. During this trip we stopped at the residence of Mr. \V. 11 Bryan so beautifully located on a hill over looking the little village of Ft. Motte Opposite Mr. Bryan's, about 2 miles from Ft. Motte wc find that the handsome plantation known as the Clieves or McCord place has been purchased by Mr. Peterkin of Marl boro , who is now running it with suc cess. Belleville i* now owned by Mr. J. C. Harmon who is making great improvements upon it. Not far from here North West of Depot is the historic spot where Mrs. Motte caused her house to be destroy ed in obedience to a patriotic impulse, and set an example worthy of imita tion for future generations. To follow up any of the association s connected with this portion of our County would require more space than weean now allot to it. The present village of Ft. Motte at tit the Railroad Depot is so far as we know, the only example we have of genuine black government in the State. The Mayoi of this town, Rev. Grant, is a black man, and wc sup posse will vote every time for his iMiincsakc. There arc now three stores at this place, and in the Fall wc are told tho number will be increased to ten. Col. A. D. Gcodwin is the courts ous and efficient Agent at this place, who with his adable and accommo dating assistant, Mr. Charles Goodwin, attends assiduously to the interests of the Railroad, and withal gives entire satisfaction to every one who has any business at this office. "We have often been the recipient of their kind attentions, which wosoe bestowed upon all without favor or partiality, and therefore we know of what wc speak. In closing these notes, in which we can only hope to indulge occasion il ly hereafter on Saturdays, wo will say that our observation has broug'it us to the conclusion that t he science of agriculture in our midst has mad 3 most gigantic strides since the days of slavery. Where an acre ofgrouu I produced] five bushels of corn before the war, it is now made to yield fiftee n or twenty, and wc arc inclined to pat much faith iu the observation recently made to us by a practical firmer, that ho believed that the day was nut far distant, when, if a man did uot make two bales of cotton to tho acre, he will feel that he is uot farming at all. [For Ihe'Orangeburg Timks J Ke Goes for Road worker. LowKii St. Matthews, August 25th 187U. Editor Orantjchury Times : In the multitude of counsellors, there is safciy. With this fecliug I beg leave to oiler a few thoughts for publication in your noble paper, though "Koad Worker" has said all, and perhaps more than ought to have been said. Being disinterested him self may cause a stir among the as pirants for the position of Overseer, if you make it nn office of profit as well as honor. The honor will pay well enough to servo one or two yeui-a, ihon let another have the pleasure. Wc now have too many offices of profit for tho good of the tax-payers. Under the laws before the war very little money was needed to discharge the duties of the County Commissioners. Now where will it count up? I believe the offices ought to be distributed among the sous of the County, and iu ?bis way you can make them 01'more honor than pro lit which will give us ( ffices seeking men and not men seeking office. I have heard that our astcemed County Auditor in this way got some of our best citizens to act ou the equalizing board, some of whom had to ride thirty or forty miles, nnd act three days w ithout any hope of pay. Mr. Editor, I had an occasion a few days since to ride over the whole length of the Five Notch road, and when I saw "Road Worker's'' piece I thought it a bid for Overseer, but he says not. Perhaps he lives on the road and would like to have a turn out or a way-station at bis place, as friend Connor is making it a narrow gauge road. We found great diffi culty in passing wagons ou the road at these new points done so much to the satisfaction id "Koad Worker." It is to be regretted that tho law has been changed. When your corres pondent was under roll call the law required this road to be opened twenty feet. Put 1 know it has been chang ed. It is well known that friend Connor measures all of his action by the law. I write not as a road worker, but as a Taxpayer For the Orangeburg Times. Does Farming Pay ? A Practical Answer. Obakgkiiuro, August 25th 1879. Editor Ornngtburg 'Tinten: The cour.se adopted by your valu able paper in publishing accounts of the crops from various sections of the County will I believe by producing a generous rivalry among the farmers do much good to the planting interest. This being my idea, allow me to call your attention to one of tho host pro - vision crops in this County. 1 refer to the crop of Mr. W. C. Sandel of Mid dle Township. This young man now but twenty two, was five years ago worth comparatively speaking noth ing; to-day he owues a Gno place, pair of fat mules, good horse and buggy, stock of cattle and hogs, all tbo rn suit of good farming and economy. His crop of this year consists of thirty acres of splendid rice, heading beauti fully, which will yield twenty-five to thirty bushels per aero, forty acres of first rate corn, the greater portion having two ears to the stalk, which will produce twenty to twenty-fivo bushels per acre, and a superb pea crop. His experience may do some thing towards answering the oft re peated questiou, "does farmiug pay?" Observer. For the Orangeburg Tim bs. Iko vs. Eli. Mixtur Kditur: "Eli" ses iu his las peace that ho h opes Mr. Seine- will make a big "Hall." Well, sumhow I'sc s>rtor skary 'bout dese Hauls/cf dey are maid like Mr. Boliver's Haul. You sea las year Mister Bolt ver hauted a parclo of Dimicrats ober to bis side, an' i-dat's what's de matter wid Hannah" now. You sea, cf he hadn't to hauled deso Dimicrats ober dcu, wo culd ov fixt him up by dis time wus dan "Eli" was on do flatform do nite ob do Koncert.* And dese Oimicrats hadn't orter dun it. Howsumebcr I tink he will neber make anuder haul like dis agin, be~ kaursc dem fellers look like dey is sorry for what dey dun, an'maybo wont do so no more. But to cliaiug dc subjec. Spekin'" 'bout da Koncert, " Eli" ses dat ho didn't want any bokays bekaurse pumboddy gave him one before he went up dere Now, "EH" ueodu't talk so ii rpendunt and hiniinde 1, bekaurse I belove dat when dat gurl dat he ruu up ageust on dj (hitform sung a peace, "Eti" fling dat same bokay at bur. Now, el dis was so, I link it was bery rong ft r "Eli" to take a bokay dat was given him to kepe, au' thro it at anuder gurl, when dere was plenty ob bokay* goin' rouud at 10 scents apeacc. Dole is anuder ting Mister Editer, I hah to say 'bout "Eli." I axed him in my las peace to take kare ob do "Old Felkes" at do Koncertau'do dem justis. But what does he do? He ses dat when de peace got thru dat he was in, "yo>; jus orter had scan tho bokays fall in* on the flatform. I didn't want any, so I gavo them all to the girls." Now, I kali dis doiu* justis to himself purtty well, an' pay in1 tention to de gui Is before de old folkcs which was not accorden to de koutrack. Dero.arc many udder subjics Mr. Editer, dat I want to expashiate up on, but as "Eli" ses he is a "bored" man, and dusn't want to be "bored" any more, 1 tink I better be rv little kareful, an' finish my letter after hairin' from him in your nexr- ishur. I will stop now until j kommonco agin. Yours tel death, Ikk Slimkins. Women's Dress. Silly fools say that women dress extravagantly to pi case the men, A more absurd falsehood was never de vised. The more plainly dressed a woman is?by plainly wo do not mean dowdy?the neater and simpler the costume, the more sho attracts the eye and wins tho admiration of the opposite sex. Ro with mm. Tho dandy makes no conquests, and is de spised secretly by nearly every wo man whoso regard is worth having. Woman dresses in fashionable stylo because it is the mode, of which, sho is a slave; because she will not be loss fashionable than her companions; be cause sho has the bad taste to luve finery, or because she doesn't th.nk about it at all. and so puts on what the mantuaniaker provides without demur. Some have said she dresses as sho docs to excite the envy of her sex; hut that is a slander, too. The fellow that said that ought to be talk ed to death without delay,
