OltANGEUURGrS. U.. SEPTEMBER 5, 1871?. ?m ? ?;? ? ? Fs^Rcgistcr ! Register!! REGIS TrHil! We understand the Kdistc Rifles J have a Fancy Eair in contemplation for the middle of 'Jotober. We learn that Mrs. Nathan Crider, of Barnwell, was struck and instantly killed by lightning on the 21st of Au gust. Colored man if Roliver asks you to yoto for him remind him of the chain-gang. He'll putyou there again if he is elected. All our tourists, we believe, have returned from the mountain regions of the up-country greatly improved in health and prepared for the labors of ifte, We unintentionally left out the names of Mrs.-M. E. Caldwell and sirs. Julia A. Livingston from the list of first grade teachers published last week. GovEiiNon Simpson has granted a respite to George Gary, of Rnford County, until Friday, 2Gth of Septem ber, lie was to have been hung on the 30th of August last. Mr. Jerome Davis paints and docs R quite artistically as the lettering on Kortjohn's wagon will show. It. is certainly a heat job for which the young gentleman deceryes credit. The Lutheran Church Conference was 'held on Saturday and Sunday last at Fine Grove in Upper St. Mat thews. A part of .Saturday was do v6ied to a Sunday School celcbra-j tion. The iittlc infant of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Fooscr, of the Fork, died in I jpaurens last week, while Mrs. Fooscr was on a visit to her relations. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family. What is the difference between a man who votes for Mr. Roliver be cause be is under obligations to do so for favors conferred and another who sells his vote to that gentleman putright? SrkcE freedom to hunters has been t:. <J given by the expiration of the season wherein they were forbidden to des troy useful animals, the woods every where echo the sound of the horn and report of the gun. vIn Bolivcr's administration colored men. worked the streets in chains, now they work of their own accord and are paid for their honest labor. Put this to the credit of honest rule and be sure to vote for Moscley and his ticket. The. excursion trains have carried quito a number of passengers from the op-country to Charleston. We hopo every visitor will be satisfied and the merchants learn that the fa cilities of Charleston are ample to supply the large trado of our up-coun try, sections. ^SerVe the Lord with Gladness," is the sentiment of a motto presented to us by a little friend a few days since. Wc appreciate this gift se cond only to the friendship ami es teem of its yotitliful donor ; and may we always be cb.alu'cd to practice the duty Which it crijoin3. "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." Such were our thoughts the other day on opening a little box sent us through the mail and finding en closed^ two" beautiful tuberoses,' 3cnt us by an accomplished lady of our county. Wc return our thanks for this kind remembrance. Whilst excursionists aro going al most for nothing to Atlanta, Balti more ai)d Charleston, wc would call the especial attention of tho people of this State to the fact that Orangcburg is daily selling goods at cheaper rates than either of those markets. Let the tide turn in this direction. Salesday was the dullest of tho year, so say tho'mcrchants and ovcry one in attendance^. Farmers were too busy with theft cotton to come to town. Don't forget to rogister. You can't vote unless you do. Remember the days lor registering are to-day, to-morrow and Monday. Don't put off this important duty, but do it at once. On Monday night last about supper time a burglar entered the room of Mr. VS. B. Garvin at Mcroncy's hotel and carried away a valuable suit of clothes. Two negroes were arrested on suspicion but 'were afterwards dis charged. Let every honest voter who loves an honest government and desires the prosperity of our town, come out in Tuesday and cast his vote for Messrs. .T. W. Moscjcy, J. S. Albcr gotti, J. Strauso, W. M. Sain and J. C. picksop. Now is the time to show what stuff you are made of. Dn. T. R. Mnlonc was be/ore Trial Justice Glover on Wednesday for an assatdt and battery on the person ol ISIrs. Chi vet tc. /viler much evidence taking and many brilliant sallies ol wit and profound expoundings of the law, the jury retired to digest the dainty dish. A few moments only sufllccd to bring in a verdict of "not guilty." The cotton-picking season has fair ly set in and the weather is all that could bo desired for this tedious work. As a consequence our farm ers arc kept busy at home preparing and sending their crops to market. We hope the price of the staple will advance, as it certainly ought, and our farmers will realize remunerative pay for their labor. Attention is called to the adver tisement of Mr. Eros in this issue. Considerable additions have been made to his stock of goods, especial ly in the lines of choice cigars, fruits, confectionery, groceries, &c, and the public arc invited fo call and in spect the articles. Mr. Eros means to succeed and will sell the best goods at the lowest possible figures. Vote for Moselcy, colored men. lie has never put any of you in the chain-gang, Deliver has. Moselcy has never humiliated your women by making them sweep the public square, Holiverhas. Moselcy bus never call ed out rille clubs to shoot you down because you, were a little demonstra tive over supposed wrongs, Dolivcr has. Remember these facts colored men and vote accordingly. The Rev. S. T. Rallman is con ducting a protracted meeting at Leb anon, Lutheran, Church ; also Rev. F. Auld, one at Shady Grove, Meth odist, Church?both hi the same sec lion and with gratifying success. The Rev. Mr. Sluiford of the Upper St. Matthews circuit, hn? been most suc cessful in his labors at a revival in Lewisvillc. Wc trust great good may result from these revival meetings. Ax interesting protracted meeting is progressing nt Ml. Lebauan (Luth eran) Church in Middle St. Mat thews, under the earnest labors of' Rev. S. T. Mailman. Deep interest seems to bo felt by the whole church. Many confirmations have already ta-i ken place, and many aro seeking that joy that only proceeds from a throne of grace. May the good work continue till every soul is happily converted. One of the largest stocks of goods carried in town is that oj Mr. George H. Cornelson, and yot Mr. John Dan ner, his purchasing clerk, has just re turned from llio Northern markets, and following close upon his heels come boxes, and barrels and bales and kegs almost without number. What in the world will be do with such a stock? Where arc the buyers? Wonders will never end, and these goods will be sold cheap or given away. So let everybody come and get his share while bargains arc to be had. Gluts, we've something to tell you. Let us whisper it behind your fans. There was Andrew Jones, of Chester, Pa., who argued with Lizzie Welsh from six o'clock until midnight in an unsuccessful effort to persuade her to many him. Then he went and kill ed himself, and now Lizzie says that, if she had known that he was so deeply in earnest, she would have ac cepted him. What wc want to im press upon your minds, girls, is that you ought to make it an invariable rule never, never to marry any man until ho proves that bo is in earnest by dying for you. There is no telling how many unhappy marriages this will prevent. We arc pained to learn that Mrs. j/M. Crosswcll died quite suddenly on Tuesday njght last at herVcsidcnce near Fort Motte. It appears that Mrs. Crosswcll had been on a visit to tho up-country and on the return homo stopped in Columbia where she purchased a vial of modieine, but did not lake any until she reached home. Just beforo retiring for the night she took a dose and was a corpse in an hour. Fob the Teeth.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients |il(g pumice stone, charcoal, &c, which ought sever to bo qscd for thp purpose. The Saponaceous Tooth Powder is warranted to contain nothing in the least injurious, and has no equal for its purpose, as its flavor is pleasant, is perfectly soluble in the mouth, und contains nothing gritty or rougli for Hie teeth. For sale by J)r. J. G. Wanmamakeb. 1 nie Right Reverend Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal Church, held service in our town morning and afternoon on Sunday last. On both occasions he preached able sermons to a large audience, and in the morning confirm ed two candidate for membership. We have but few divines in our Stale who occupy such an exalted position in the estimation and hearts of the people as Bishop Howe, and the occa sion of his visit among us was a liter ary as well as religious treat'. We notice that Mr. W. M. Sain's wagon and cverybody-clsc's wagon arc busily employed hauling goods from the depot. This indicates tlmt unusually extensi vc'prepnrations have been made by our merchants for the fall and winter trade. Orangeburg is one of the best retail markets in the State and the territory to be sup plied is yearly increasing, which de mands increased facilities at the hands of our business houses and they arc sparing no expense to pro vide tlicin. We have received the first two numbers of the Hampton Guardian, published at Hampton C. II. by M. B. McSwconey, Esq., formerly of the Ninety-Six Guardian. We have known Me. ever since we were boys together, and we know that he is brim-full of energy and pluck, and if the good people of Hampton County will but give him a half chance he will publish them a paper worthy of their support. Long may the Guar-: dian and its generous hearted proprie tor live. The rarest gems are not to be found in Hue handsomest caskets, nor arc the beat young men those who part their hair in ihc middle and think themselves above honorable labor of any kind. Neither is a young lady with nothing but a handsome face to commend her, tho choice of her sex. Rather take tho girl with no beauty j to speak of, but whose heart is as pure an'j free as the limpid water, and whose chief happiness is in see-1 ing othcts happy ; then you will have found the costly gem encnpcd in a plain casket, but one that will , grow beautiful with time and appreciation. /'? _,_ The colored voters of Orangeburg have not yet forgotten the shame and ! disgrace to which their race was sub mitted by Mr. Geo. Bolivor whon he was Mayor of this town. The chain gang, an instrument of torture un known to slavery, but reserved by law for the basest criminals, was in troduced, and actually put in prac tice by this olHcinl; and colored men were paraded through the streets in irons and chains, and for what pur pose. It is not in flesh and blood to forget such a shame and the colored voters of Ornngcburg will prove it on next Tuesday. Besides what reason is there to say it will not be repeated if Mr. Boliuer be again elected. The power is only wanting. We are glad to be able to inform the public that Sheridan's Classical School has opened under the uiyst en couraging circumstances. A goodly number of pupils arc in attendance and many others expect to come at nn early day. The female depart* ment promises well with quite a num ber of gills already enrolled and the promiso of many more to the Princi pal. Wo would statu to the public that this school sends young men to College every year?two of the pres ent pupils will enter College in Octo ber next?and is intended to give our young men and girls a preparatory training that will enable them cither to enter College or begin life's struggles at once. To this the Principal and his experienced assistants will devote their talents and energies. Let your patronage be liberal and t|ie school will be a permanent blessing to the county. Olk readers are reminded again l|tnt Mr. Theodore K"ohn, the enter prising dry-goods merchant, lias re turned from New York and oilier Northern markets where he purchased a large stock of goods. Thcso have been received and are offered to the public at remarkably low prices. If ypu wisli bargains by purchasing fresh goods from a reliable house go tq Theodore Kohn's Dry Goods Em porium. Corn, Continued. I gave you pay mode of culture in my last letter and stated that I claim ed for it a decided advantage over the flat culture or Dixon plan, which is practiced by most cf our farmers. I challenged a cliscussion of this ques tion, but no one lias answered. I will try to show you its advantages: First, tho two adder furrows which covers the com, subsoils; the next two adder furrows also subsoil, covers tho grass and weeds around the young corn and leaves a water furrow on cither side whlch(conducta boat, mois ture and the fertilising gases from the atmosphere to the root of the | young plant, and also causes the corn to root downwards. The next fur row with a five-inch twister has the same effect. Next the middle is bro ken out so as to turn under the grass and weeds. This , is considered by fanners as one plowing for corn, and given by some farmers nil at onco, which wp consider n great mistake. We prefer to give two furrows aboi;t| eight days apart. The ncx'. time go ing over we use a sixtccn-inch sweep, just scraping the surface, with the wings sufficiently turned to put about one inch of carlli to the corn, which effectually covers the fine grass about the corn, which in six or eight days comes the furrow, wdiich may possibly injure your corn if not put in proper] time and manner. This furrow may be put two ami a half inches deep at j the end of the sixtccn-inch sweep fur row so as to effectually cover the grass, without any fear of injuring the com, if done before the corn shoots. We have seen injury done1 by this furrow out we have not injur ed our corn for the last twenty years. This fanner's friend or Walt plow furrow furnishes you tho proper depth to deposit your peas, if you would secure a good stand and crop, which you cannot get with a Dixon sweep. Now, Mr. Editor, you will sec that 1 destroy my grass by covering with earth, which can be dope as- well in wet as in dry weather, and which can be done by the flat culture only in dry weather. You will see again that I, with every furrow, add earth to the corn, consequently, my fertil izer is out of the vpach of grass, it be ing a surface feeder though a great rogue. In company with several gen tleman i poiutcd out this fact to them. The grass over the drill in which the manure was put lu 1113^ corn, was yellow and dwarfish. The grass in those who cultivated fiat was green and nourishing ; showing conclusively that it was feeding on the fertilizers used. In fact several farmers were chopping it out to savo tho pea et op. In the fiat culture the roots of the corn is invited to the surface, which is parched out in a protracted drought. The yellow blade is an evidence of this fact. My bottom blade remains green to the last. I will show in sonic future letter, that corn is a profitable crop. In my next I will give you the Oat cro[ J. C. II. September ,\1, 1879.
