Editor Orangthnrg Times: Th ? pic-nie on "Ascension Day," the 20th ult., at Pinekncy's Landing, under the auspices of the Sah tec Base Bail Club, to whichyou were in vited aud did not come, was a suc cess. Your friends would, certainly, have enjoyed your presence, indeed your name had actually been "put in the pot" (if yon will allow a kitchen phrase.) and you have no idea the good things you unused by not being preseut. if the remaining portion left after the immense crowd had beech fed and least*.d, was intended as your share, U> be. ronnumrd at (he t ibte, the Sautes folks have surely misjudged your capacity* To describe the pic-nie grounds and their surroundings, requires the pen of an artist; and such I claim not to wield. To appreciate the hills and valleys, the grand old live-oak trees with their low-hanging, moss covered boughs, and other natural scenery-in endless variety, one must <>o there and see, to be thoroughly convinced of their beauty. '1 he forenoon was occupied by the young ladies ami gen'.lcmen in pro menading; boat-riding and perliapt courting. Your correspondent saw canoes drifting down the river,- each boat containing two occupants. They didn't seem to be alarmed, or anxious to land?uiid-bui?the future will tell. The married gentlemen discussed the fence law and crops, and the elderly married ladies, always in oisponsinie at such plat es, prepared for?dinner, Before it was announced however, und while the crowd was hp parent ly at rest, a few gentlemen made a happy hit by inviting to speak and introducing to the audi ence M:ij. T. 11. W ha ley who spoke as only the Majorenn upon such oc casions. He alluded very beauti fully to the day we were celebrating, reviewed in his eloquent style the political situation County, State and National, and closed with a most ap propriate and complimentary tribute to the fair ladies. To an appreciative mind his speech upon the whole was a rare treat. Next in order came dinner, to many, the event of the day. I will i < t say that the tal e ;roannd under iis weight .of good things, but the variety ai d quality of the viands prepared by these Santee and Provi dence holies would unquestionably make a man groan if he lingered to*) long, "r ?und the festive board." At 2k o'clock P. M.. the "Santee" and "KutttW" Base Ball Clubs were called out by their captains, and after the usual preliminaries the two "Nines" entered the licld to contest lor the ?humpionship. Mr. W. L. DcHay was chosen Umpire, and at the eiose of four innings the score stood: ?Santee, 20 runs: Eutaw 20 runs. Mr. A. B. Parier o." the Santee, and M a rs. S. C. Moorer, L. Carson of the Eutaw made each a clean score of four runs. The announcement of the core was followed by the hurrahs; md then drinks?of lemonade, Mr. Ivlitor, which could not be surpass ed, were freely discussed. This lemonade feature of the pic-nie was indeed very enjoyable, and the young gentlemen who originated the idea in I so successfully carried it out. de serve special praise. Fortunately ibis ice-cold beverage w.-is dispensed by married ladies, else the rustic counter of the bar would have been in all probability a little crowded. Five o'clock, and wc saw the last boat full of excursionists land, the ladies on board cheering the gallant oarsmen with the song, "Pull for the Shore." To sum up, Mr. Editor, (lest 1 consume too much of your valuable space) the atf; ir, all in all, was a good success, the. make up and management reflocting much credit upon this thriving neighborhood, and will long be remembered by many who were present as a bright page in memory's book. Occasional. A physician was walking along a road in the country one day. lie met an old man whs had a bottle of whiskey sticking out of his coat pocket. "Is this the way to the poor house, sir?" asked the old man, pointing in the direction iu which he was walk ing. "No, sir," answered the physician; "But this is " hiving his hand on the bottle of whiskey. That doctor was both witty and wise. Ikiarding bou e brilliancy; Sweets to the sweet," said the funny, young man, as he handed the waiter girl a faded bonqiiet. "Beets to the beat," returned the girl, as she push ed him a plate of the vegetables. Cotton in Sum tor county, Ga., is half a leg high, and has well formed squares. Jamison, S. C, May 24, 1881. Mr. Editor : Jamison, while uot known as a place of much importance in a com mercial point of. view, has ncverthe lc s, some energetic spirits, who con tribute much to agriculture, aud the success of her more prosperioua rivals. The crops in this section are, say, corn promising; cotton where it was planted early is as good as last. year. While there arc a few who can boast as yet of a good stand over their general crop, there arc many farmers who have a number of acres not up. As a general thing cotton is about two weeks later than the crop of last year. Some of our early plan ters will not get entirely through planting until in June. The oat crop, while in some places almost a failure, in ot hers about a half crop may be depended upon. A debating Society has been in progress here for sometime, aud every im: g: nable subject, is compounded by the old as well as the young seekers of knowledge. The victories 1 under stand, are pretty well balanced, while the older minds on some sub jects bear aloft the bloodless banner inscribed upon its folds, '-victory"? them again the young sodier of the literary cause, recapture the fort, thus it go -s, first one,lhcn the other wearing the victorious plumage. Mr. J. S. Crosby, a photographer of merit has been delighting the old as well as the young, the pale faces as-well as those of tofur, the good looking, the passable and the?never mind, the bright and the illiterate have all had the same courage to bear the gaze of the man of nature and the thing of art, and Mr. Crosby with his machine has given general satisfaction. I judge he has been conducting a good husiuess, has tak en about 170 pictures. He leaves for Ft. Motte next week, and I would suggest to the citizens of that place and the surrounding country to give him a trial ami I doubt not he will accord justice whore justice is due. Geddings. TOO MASl" LAWYERS AND TOO MANY FEE?. The rock that the. legal profession are in most danger of comingfftp wreck on is that of excessive charges. There is a continual low growling in the community on this subiect. It is notorious that the charges are altogether out, of proportion to the time given, the work given or the consideration rveeived, and all kinds of vexatious obs'acles are thrown in the way of any who seek to effect a reform in this respect. The fact is, fiat the ranks of the legal professin? arc overe.ovuled and are being added to year by year to an extent which the public interests by no means re quire. Yet the exclusivcness that obtains with regards to methods of procedure, and the stringent rules imposed upon all the members of the craft, prevent that wholesome 'com petition which exists in all other trades. The consequence is that the public are robbed, and that a com-] paratively few of the members of the legal profession obtain for themselves the chief portion of the spoil, while the great bulk of them struggle on as best they can. Our legal exchanges are filled with discussions on law yers' costs. The community are bound to have cheeper justice, if they can.?Albany Tiwnw. JOSH BILLINGS' "TRUMP CARDS.*' After a man gits to be 38 j'ears old he kant form any new habits much; the best hekan do is to stier hiz old ones. Euny n an tvho kan swap horses, or hatch fish, and not lie about it, iz az pins az men ever git to be in this world. The sassyest mnn I ever met iz a hen-pecked husband when he iz away from home. An enthusiast iz an individual who believes about four times as | much as he kan prove, and he kan prove about four times as much az any body believes. Thoze people who are tricing to get to heaven on their kreed will find out at lust that the}- didn't have a t hru ticket. Too long courtships are not alwuss judicious. The pnrtys often tire out skoreing 'fore the trot begins. Young men, learn to wait; if you undertake to sett a henn before she iz ready yon will lose yor time and confuse the ben besides. Said a Baptist toa Methodist: "I dou't like your church government. It isn't simple enough. There's too much machinery about it." "It is trne," replied the Methodist, "we have more machinery than you; but then yon see, it don't take near so much water to run it." Jamison, S. Cv, 20, 1881. Editor Orangeburg 'lime*: Ou a quiet nud secluded spot In this County, and on the dawning of the beautiful. Sabbath morning of the 22nd iiiat., peacefully passed away that nohlo husband, the kind and affectionate father, and the brave and worthy citizen, Mr. Robert Richards'," formerly of Charleston. Many here with sad hearts fol lowed his remains to their last rest ing place and beheld him consigned to the quiet grave in Oraugeburg Village.. No doubt too, those citi zens of Charleston who knew him in his young manhood and pride, will likewise heave a sigh and deeply mourn the death of this gentleman, expressly those of the ./Eta Fire Company who can remember him while hujotflccr of that Company, and who by devotion to duty while in the Fire Department comparativly wrecked his health. While Mr. Richards loved his old home in the "City- by the Sea," unhappy calami ties preventing him u Inning after the war, siuce then he has been re siding in Orangeburg County, where he leaves a family, many relatives and a large concourse of friend?, who, while they are sad at his removal from among them, love and reverence his memory. . E. G. B. reverie of THeVeMAL editor. Miss Eva C. Kinney, on taking the editorial chair id'the Ellis, Kansas, I/em/fight, writes in the following light headed way: "How glad we are we've got to bean editor at, last. We always thought we knew just how to run a paper, and now we've got such a splendid chance. "We'll show those stupid men ex actly how it ought to he done. You won't catc' u getting into any fu-s s, or rows of any thing. No, indeed, we'll use tact, and tact, you know, is the pricipal thing in running a paper. "We won't meddle in politics, and that will save the trouble with politi cians,, nnd we'll never swear?no, never./ For the life of- us we can't see t lie nse of swearing in a printing \??llv?rV";'H<lou*t'niakc *ypo set- itself up; it don't create items?unless you happen to hit somebody with a club and have to pay the costs?and it doil't pick up pie half >o quick as fingers do. Yet the editors all think they can't run a paper without it; but we'll show 'em. "We're soglad we're an editor, and we're going to make such lots of money; we won't spend it all for beer and cigars either. No, indeed; we'll be benevolent and do good with it. We'll give lots to the missionary society?make presents to nil our friends?buy books and flowers, for the poor, and ? oh yes! maybe we'll build a church und endow a collage, and have our name painted on one of the windows, with a design. Yes, of course we must have a design on the window. Let's see, a pair of scissors and a paste-pot would be appropritc, would it not? Or a hoy, a roller?but then roller boys always have dirty faces, and the artist wouldn't want to paint dirt, would he? "It's such fun to beau editor! Think of the sweet revenge we'll take when we stutr the products of some aspiring genius intofhe waste I ask cU And then with what an exquisite thrill of pleasure we'll take our pen and write the author a polite note, tolling him we would have been tie lighted to publish his excellent arti cle if we only had room, and wouldn't he like to mibscribe for our paper, or get us up ii club? Ah, we've had ex perience. That's the way the men editors used to do by us when we were 'only a writer.' And sweeter still will he our revenge on those editors themselves, who used to crush pur budding genius with their cruel ly polite sure tains. There's that horrid old I ear of the Hay City Sentinel, when he published our sweet little poem about "Birdie," instead of remarking on the smoothness of the measure, or pathos of its senti 'iiient, he intimated that we'd been sighing for a lover. It wasn't true a bit; but ah! little did that rash in in think we were one tiny to be his?peer. "Oh, dear! it's getting late, and another colninn of type to go up, on copy ready, and all these advertise incuts behind time?but it's lots of fun to be an editor." ??mmw ? ixilJPTir An old woman weighing about three hundred pounds, fell in cross ing the street car track, nnd landed in the mnd and water. It sounded I liko dropping a enstard from a third story window. The driver of the I street car held np his mule, and call I cd ont, "Say, if you will get up and let me drive on. you can sit down [ again as soon as the car passes." WOMEN?THEY AEE VAST FIKDIKtt OUT. I believe there is more popper, more I potato1], more saltpeter, more tar, { more aquafortis and more pluck in woman's nature than hi any other na ture extant. All these, however, lie dormant in a thin sack, woven of modesty timidity, coyuess and gentleness. Once shake them up and you may look out for a blaze, ac companied by a peculiar kind of thunder. Women's flesh is thought by some to be a confection, a composition of sugar ami molasses, or tome other saccharine matter. Grant that it be all sweetness; yet I would have you know that when the acid of anger, in sult or ill-nature comes in contact with it, such an efl'ervcscence occurs as one never saw exemplified iu ginger-pop, scdlilz or soda water. yvdineu, when put out of tune, are like summer storms. At lirst they are cloudy?make no noise, hut their thinking machines are busy in mo tion. Then comes the thunder?rip ping and tearing thunder! and the lightning that flashes from their eyes U enough to appall the stoutest of hearts. You tall back in wonder ment, if not perfectly amazed. Un willing to retreat further, and not having a chance or the courage to blip in a pitiful "boo!" you stand and lake it like a hitched horse in a hail storm. When the wrnth of the feminine b nearly expended, you pluck up cour age and are tlowu on her with argu ment, reasoning and reprimand; hut is ull this going to make her turn tail? not a bit of it. Having wasted her thumler and lightning, she be gins to rain; she knows what effect that will have. With impetuous showers she drenches the furious lire that burns in your bosom, and a freshness to every bud and blossom of feeling. Thon you begiu to gire ' iu?she begins to clear off?her sky , grows brighter, she goes to the ex pense of a smile, her whole horizon, ? landscape and la 1\ scape, look charm ing, gay and serene, and you can't help giving her a kiss, and acknow ledging beat. So you see, my friends, that "the women arc I ottnd to get the better of L i. In them yon behold the wild ? cat, laii'band:(love. If they can ac- ? complish nothing by letting loose j their tin tame feline propensities, they give the juvenile sheep a trial* and if that fails they rely upon the loving ' dove. With one of the three, they seldom or never fail to effect their purpose. I They are called the weaker sex; but with what propriety it is hard ( for me to imagine, for I know that ' 11111113' of them are strong euough to j lift a barrel of beer and drink out of the tap.

They draw us to church?draw us to the thtittrc?draw us from our ' busbies*?draw us into trouble?and draw us to?well, anywhere.?Ex. \ TllASri.ANTIXO IX THE NlGFIT.?A ' gentleman anxious to ascertain the effects of transplanting by night, in stead of by day, made an experi ment, with the following results: He transplanted ten cherry trees while in bloom, commencing at four o'clock in the afternoon. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while those transplanted iu the dark maintained their condi tion fully. lie did the same with ten dwarf trees after the fruit was oik-third grown. Those transplanted in the day shed their fruit;those transplanted during the 'night per fected the crop and showed no in jury from having b'-cu removed. With eoeh of these trees '.ie removed some earth with the roots. The in cident, if fully vouched for, and if a few similar experiments produce like result, will be a strong argu ment to horticulturists to do such work nt night;?Fbrntt Cabinet. - - ml 1 *mwm?? - The following lines were picked up on Kussel I street a few days ago, floni a young lady to a young gentle men : ?'Silver shine <v??o do tin die v ay i lore yon is a sin," the rose is red the vile is blue the pink is pretty and >o ts yon. if you luve tne asi love you no girl can cut our love in too Show as the grass grow* nmnd the stump, ?& c'tuse von for toy st.gar lump, We live between the railroad and river and I will get married whenever yoimy.
