The community was pained last week by the death of Mr. Adam Smoak, an old and highly respected citizen of our County. His remains were deposited in the old Methodist grave yard in our town on last Sat urday.

The residence of Hon. Samuel Dibble, when completed, will, doubt less, rank first for beauty, strength and utility of architecture among the finest buildings of Orangcburg. Gas and water works have been furn ished through all the apartments, and all the surroundings hav< been armnged-with an eye to comfort, con venience and beauty. Such substan tial improvements and exhibitions of progress have the beneficial tendency of elevating the taste and stimula tir.g the energies of the pwplc, The Stockholders' meeting of the Agricultural & Mechanical Associa tion took place :it the Fair Building on Saturday. ?

The Ninth Anniversary of Orungo burg Division No. 24 Sons of Tem perance, wan celebrated at Fireman's Hall on Monday evening by the Di vision, with a few invited guests. After .1 short address of welcome by Mr. F. S. Dibble, all seated tl em sclrcsto the bountifully spread table, to w hich full justice was done. This part of the programme for the even ing's entertainment having been suc cessfully carried out, the second di vision, consisting of readings and siii?in<;. wan entered Upon Selections were rendered with much iutcrost by the following mem- ! hers of the Order: F. S. Dibble, G. j I A. Neuffer, Jr., J. C. Albcrgotti and S. K. Owens. Hon. Samuel Dibble being also present as a guest, ren dered, by request, and to the great enjoyment of his hearers, the selec tions from Carlcton'.s Farm Ballads entitled 'Over the Hill to the I'oor House" and "Over the Hill from the Four House." These exercises being concluded, the remainder of the evening, until the large hour drew near, was spent in social conversation, when the ?members of the Division and their ghosts parted, feeling that the occa sion had been one of mut ual pleasure to them. We would direct attention to the card of Dr. J. \W Summers in thi? issue, calling upon the people t<> consider the question of fencing in or fencing out stock, which will doubt less be presented a*, the next session of the Legislature fur net ion. If our Legislators are to act upon this mat tor it is certainly best that the sub ject should be agitated in order that (hey nniy have light to guide them. It is a question w hich will be open to wide and varied discussions. On the one side, it will be argued 1 i hat the small farmer and laborer will be put to the disadvantage oj being circumscribed, if not deprived of t he means ofsupportiug his cattle, except at the will of the large laud owner, ?in I that the price of beef will he greatly increased if the fencing in Liw is passed. On the other side it will be argued, that the necessity of the land owner to obtain laborer -, will force h:m to provide in his pasture for his tenants aud employee's cat tie, inord-r that lt? liny eotnpstc successfully in the race for getting bauds, and.that this circumstance will make the laborer muster of the situation. . It will also be argued that the saving of rail splitting will cmi pen-ate the laborer for everything else that he may imagine he will lose, and that this reduction of work and expense will be an immense gain in the economy of fa l ining. Again, whatever may be said < f the merits or demerits of a general fence law, considerable confusion is I apt to arise where the matter is left optional with small communities. This we think was th < mistake of Legislature of 1878. In some Counties, one township voted f ir the fencing in law, and the ad joining township continued the old fencing out law The consequence was that the fencing in township was compelled to build a township fence, or be subjected to continual annoy ance'. Suppose, for instance, that Foplar township should pass by a popular vote the fencing in law and Goodhy's township should hold to the present system; we iinnginc there would be considerable wrang ling along the line, unless a township fence was built, which would cat up all the profits of the plan. We say this; w hatever course is adopted, let it boa uniform; and we would also urge thai all discussions upon the question should be conduct ed in the spirit of harmony, and with a sincere desire to arrive at the best conclusions for the general good. It is practically a farmer's'question and it is proper that those engaged in fanning should decide it. ???? ? - ?i The factories in the up country ? live been stopped by the swelling of tS'e ttrcama by the late Alex Youngblood, .1 little negro boy five years old, was found dead in a swamp, in Edge field county, last week, having been cruelly turned out of bis home by the negro woman in whose cure he was left by his father, who was put in the Penitentiary.
