EtUicr : I've often hoard my Gran dndy say, "Give the devil his dues " Well, I tuok up \vid dut idee when a hoy, and speck to stick to it, so long as (he sweet, niomcnts of time shall roll around tin: Western horizon. Ho cenoraiy taught, me wid a hickory, font four fret long, which made pints that lasted well, and when 1 hear a teller say, "dats a pint," black .stripes kreep over my buck, from my bead unto my heals, even unto dis present day. Hut to de pint. Mr. liditor, it peers to me as a general thing people is t?>o much interested in other peeple'a business. Now, I don'tkno how it is wid you. It ma be you like a stew, mixed drinks, mackaroiiie or seme fancy latin likfc (hit made of your bisness. But so far as I's con sarned, I like a strato fry. When too mauy lips git to flap pin over one puddin, unless tint puddin puts on a boll frunt, its mighty apt to git spilt in de windin up. But it peers to me 1 can't etnl.race the pin! I wish to un tangle. I've been goin round ami round like a pbeller playill chickee, and ain't madt a pint yet. Weil, when I lived in (lie town ofO. there was some kureo.ia people there, and there's where I la rued human natttr an got my idee ofwritiu Did you ever seen Iran strain at a uat an swal low a camel? If not, come over an let lue interducc you. Thoy are monstr?s kurious folks. They have a bery large swallow and a i> mv sai ill heart, about tho size of pican nut, pinted at both ends, and jist a< bar 1 JS'ow mong there kurious folks was a certin County oilie r I don't member bis ofis as 1 ain't much in politicks myself, so you mu-! draw your o1 n conclusion. Now this mm fron :ii-? daily walk, and bis walk gen.'f.ily (It wnrn't any the stratie '. hit then I kit.der liked it.) Weil, it' you wasn't well quainted wid dis man. you think to tall him sain't wasnt doin the subject justi-'. But le. n;e tell you Mr. Editor, he euld swalow camels jist as lass as you coli hl hau them to him widout greesc, if you git him kornercd. Then let him nut de korncr and he would have to pluck the wings of a nat to bolt him down. Now, 1 dont beleve in sich. If you do a hing once expl in your reson and do it again. Now my motto has been, never do beb in the don* things you're ashamed for the worl I to know. Now this kinder strikes lempance phellers, but 1 don't bear any resemblance to them at ill, lor I don't beleve in ttmpr.ince no how. Its bery good to fool people on, but it never goes back onasehoncr. No, never go back on a schooner, for on the schooner's back you can buffet the waves, stand the storm, and at hist -he will Ian you sali; beyo i the tide. But to the subject. Now some peeplo say, I would do frtther and the other, Now harkan unto iii- an I'll give you my opinion?Advice don't cost a cent, an as a general thing ain't worth a cent, except that legal advice which isabig thing. It kreeps low into a phellers pocket an then ain't worth much Bui give the devil his dues. These lawyers is right klever phellers after all. Whatever your hand limit th to do that do with all your mite. This has been my cxpotnph all tro life, an I speck to Stick to it. Now my fi'tends let me tell you one thing, you follow the dictates cfyoitr own reason, and the thing you think the most money is in, that do. If it is earyiti parched corn to a starving tnonky, all the same, its no b > ly's business but your own. I run a strato j ticket and if I make up in the rung page, it don't cousarn any one but myself. The election for Mayor is over. The Orgh boys are good lidiermau. They didn't go back on their skid in the electi m. They seined (Sain | deep and a big fish was the result. No use in tryin to git away wid these sort ol men. They ate boss traders by birth i and cant be fooled. I felt satisfied the man that got the ni03t voted J would he elected, and was tryln to get up a bet iu (hat line, but couldn't find a man with pluck enough tu take tue up. The Ggt boys is mighty sea ry phcllers on bettin any how. Now in my country a phcller would be g'ad^ to have the chance to make a speck that way. The tickets was mightily split, and from the time it took the managers to count them I think tliay must have been stickin them together again. I stood round to bear the result Until I caught a pane in my back, which run .sorter North and South and I ain't got over it yet. If ever a pheller says poll to me again I use ;i pole tbout the waistband of his pnuts. Now /'vc run all sorts of things in my life, Rqurrels, rabits, plums and all ensccts iu tMa littr?, and managed to make grub out of t em. But any man that expects to make grub by ruuin a cam pan -i will soon fine that his b riches are about two sizes- too large. "i.li" has a splendid field to work in now, but if he don't du any belter plowin than he did among the roots and lig trees. I'd advise him to lay by before he begins, lie has mighty good idecs, but they arc badly scat tercd; jist now and then he can get one korucred. Iiis fancy notions is all north, and 1 ant afraid he wont git in a new supply iu time for the next issue. 1 und island that the town Coun cil have ordered the town to be moved. They have commenced operations near the Depot and in a few days will have her in the neigh hot hood of Lewisvi 1 le. This is a b illninl ami very cousederablo idee. 1 spore they think we have a hard mad to travel through life, so they will give us a soft one to haul go <ls on. That's the way with some people; they mean good, but dont know how t i git a? it. II they will all >w m-> to sugesl lor (hi in, I'd make all hands ( haw p*ne gum and spirits turpcnlime Heap nicer job and be of more bene fit In the town?Sinco green pea? have come in there's lots of kolic. Old ailage borrowed boss rides free, and I spo?c they don't care how mil -h they ride so we pay for it. Now I ain't much on meddlin wid other pec pis business and that'5! what 1 am vvritin on. Hut when I see a phcller mak ing a bad speculation I leel it my duty t) thro out a sugestion. Now 1 hope they will stop digin, and put nil hands to chewin in the mornin. Now gentlemen I'll leave you to sleep on the subject. No more from your friend ttll death. Come boys let's drink ! Ron Bi.aine. - man o m> ?? ??' ? ? ? Oar Little Mark. AltTIOI.K No. I. The progress of Orangeburg in ma terial prosperity ha-1 long bjeu note I, not only by those who live within the corporate limits, and naturally pride themselves ill her development, but it has always b-jen t'tJ subject of tho pen of the chronicler who visits her borders. Though twice, within t!i i recollection of our inh ibitanti she lias been desolated by tho fiery fiend, such is her innate power of recupera tion, ?hat she has risen LMuuuixliko from her ashes, and llappod her wings in triumph and exultation over all her misfortunes. But it is left tar us, and it is our inestimable, privilege, t> ohroniclo her lollies! step ill ilia si rid h of pro- I grcss-?not in the groveling things of the material?but in tho purer and more elevated atmosphere of tho intellectual world. We verily be lieve that she is ahmt to develop, and present to the world, an ithcr Mark Twain. We think that it is a signifi cant coincidence?indeed it n pro phetic, that the word twain means two. And the interpretation is, that the world is to have a Mark No. '2, and Orangeburg isto have the hono r of producing him. Of course ho is now iu embryo, nnd therein!o we christen him Our Little Muh. But wo beliovo if ho keeps on, and don't get discour aged, in time ho will make a marft . Wo believe ho is going to write a book. But when we say that he wil_ make '/ murk, don't understand us to moan that Mark that cornea aftwr Matthew and before Luke. \V. don't venture that much. We only mean big Mark No. 2. There are one or two hints however that we would throw out to hasten the development. In the first place big Mark wrote for the big priperj. In> the second place he travelel about and interviewed Jeff Davis and Ulay ?es and the other big bugs. Again it is said that in ancient manuscripts, wherever the writer intended an im pression to be produced, ho would indicate the same by interlining in the manuscript, and the appropriate emotion in the delivery. Now we don't mean to say that we can't sec 1 the point, but wc think that iu this fast age, a great deal of time, and space too, would be saved if our sub ject would distinguish his points iu the same way by a little mark. We expect, his nost theme will bo Narr?gansett Piers, where Roscoo flourished, for when he spoke of "Bill Orange" he must have meant "Bill Sprague." There are many other thing* in reference to Oar Little Murk that we have to say, but, as this must only be regaided as the introduction to tho subject, wo will retrain until the second stage of development takes plae5. His genius 13 worthy of song and story. Tho story will be continued as we said, but the song must await the promptings of the poetic flamo which of course must bo left to nature and must not bo forced. [For the Orangeburg Timks.J Straw and Leaves Continued. Mr. Editor: I attach so much importanco to this subject, that I must giveyou & few more practical remarks. I have stated that I use*1 oOO two borso loads on my farm tho present year, and -00 last year Has it paid me? You, in your comments on my farm au swered this question, and a dozen of our best farmers, who visited my farm, agree with you, that there is virtue in straw. NoW Mr. Editor, I would net have my brother farmers to think that I rely on straw alone. I use it as an adjunct. It is valuable as a preventive of rust, in cotton, and yel'ows iu corn. I would not say that the first application of straw will effectually prevent rust, but several years application with straw seems to givo health, vigor and lon gevity to the plant. I think 1 have said enough, and used enough to satisfy the incredulous, that there is good in straw, ami that a continuous application iu conjunction with other fertilizers w ill bring our impoverish ed soil to a high degree of productive lies.-. Critic is not the only man who believes in straw. 80 years ago, I hi ught a place adjoining an old gentleman who had straw annually hauled direct from tho forest to his cotton fields. I watched tho effect. Cotton remained green till frost. Usual yield per acre, 800 lbs seed cotton, according to agcnt3 statement From this very place our indefati gable cotton grower, Ex Sbcrifl'Dukos learnt the value of straw. He thinks straw with salt equal to guano. I have another old gentleman a be liever in stra'tr, M r. B, Grifith, whe rests his corn lands by hauling straw and spreading thereon. His crops of peas arc unparalleled. Critic has a standing order on his place, that is, when not otherwise employed, to haul straw. Straw and leaves will toll on the crop for several years. Cuitio. An Ohio man without an office feels like England without a war on her bauds. If you are ambitious to move in the highest circles, join the nox: expedi tion to the Arctic Circles. Hie there!
