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.

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

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?"

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,

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,
