OltAKGEUURG, S. C. SEPTEMBER 10, 1S70. Mr. King will jemovo on Monday .from Doole's corner to Mr. Saiu's old stand. .Mit. F. l. Stapton docs not clerk in Mr. Bolivcr's ofllec as wo errone ously stated last week. Our streets arc dry and the air is filled with dust, which render trav eling a most disagreeable task. It is the easiest tiling in the world to "kick up a dust" in town. In the j absence of a street sprinkler, we need j a rain. We don't want .to lie personal, but the next man that asks us to change a five dollar bill will need medical advice. Colds arc becoming very preva lent in town and country, caused by the cool nights which now prevail and the dusty state of the atmos phere. Sweet potatoes, from this year's j crop, arc becoming quite plentiful. The Democrat is the recipient of a j fine lot from a friend, too modest to have his name in the paper. A coloicd woman while picking cotton in the field ol a Mr. Myers fell dead on Wednesday last. Cause of death is unknown. We suppose an inquest over the body will be held. We learn that a lecture will be de livered at Pine Grove School House on Saturday, the '20th instant, on the subject of Phrenology, Distance and the Telephone. Teachers and ladies admitted free. What is the diffoicncc between an Independent Democrat and a Radi cal? None, except that the Radical acts up to his profession by voting ?with his party, while the Independent professes to be a Democrat but votes with the Rads. Now that the time has arrived for buying seed cotton, those interested should remember, that the law .strict ly forbids the purchase of the staple after sunset and before sunrise. Those failing to comply with the law, subject themselves to heavy line and imprisonment. Our streets are crowded with wag ons from the country loaded with cotton and other farm produce, which speaks well for the increased trade oi the town. Prices arc firm and the probabilities are that the present ac tivity will continue through the sea son. The Quintette Musical Club of our town is prepared to furnish music fin1 parties, entertainments, occ., at rea sonable prices. This Club needs no commendation at our hands, as its musical talent is well-known. Ad dress Quintette Club, Orangeb?rg, S. C. Attention Orange Light Dra goons.?You arc hereby ordered to meet at the Fair Building on Satur day, the 27th instant, at 10 o'clock A. M. for the election of officers and other business. Members will bring lunch. By order of (.'apt. n. n. Hay den. Representatives from the lodges of tho Knights of Honor in the Sixth District will meet at this plaeo on next Tuesday to be instructed in the ceremonies of the Order by D. 1). G. D Lawton II. Wanna make r. The meeting will be held at Odd Fellow's Hall, at 11 o'clock A. M. Tins is the best season for delici ous rolls, sweet light bread and fresh pies, all of which may be obtained at the People's Bakery, kept by Mr. T. W. Albergotti. Campmecting goers may be supplied here with everything needful on such occasions at the low est cash prices. Confectionary and fancy goods to suit the most delicate taste can also be found hero. Be sure to call at Mr. Albcrgotti'a Bakery. I Tun regular monthly meeting of the Sunday School Missionary So ciety of St. Paul's Methodist Church will be held next Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. The teachers and scholars of the School arc earnestly requested to attend. The public arc also cordially invited. We learn that the popular house of Messrs. Sorrcntruo and Loryca I have secured the services of Mr. Adam Siroman as salesman in their establishment. This gentleman has a wide circle of relations and person al friends and will doubtless increase the business of his employers. Tub Edisto River at this point is lower now than at any other time during the year. The branches and creeks of the county, we learn, are drying up and there is great difficul ty in some localities in providing a supply of water for stock. Wc hope the-much needed rain will come in a few days. TlIE legitimate result of Iho repeal of the duly on quinine is now being felt hi a substantial manner. At first home manufacturers refused to supply the inatkcl, except at a higher price, but the imports increasing, the price of the drug has fallen twenty-live cents per ounce, and will undoubted ly go yet lower. We hear great complaint about sore eyes. This troublesome and at the same time painful disease seems to bean epidemic in the county. Wr have heard of several cases where temporary blindness was produced. The dusty state of the atmosphere has, doubtless, much to do in caus ing so severe a type of the disease. We hear fire has been burning In the woods in several localities of the county. In Middle Su Matthews in the neigborhood of Messrs. David i Rush, M. T. Keller and J. L. Rush about 2,000 acres of woods lands wore burned and four or five hundred panels of fence. The fire was occa sioned by the carelessness of negroes while hunting at night. Mr. Copes has had a UCat iron railing put up around his window inj the Courthouse. This will facilitate the collection of taxes, and add much j to the convenience and comfort of the taxpayers, as in future there will be no crowding. The work was done by Mr. Thomas Hay, and reflects consid erable credit upon his skill as a mas ter workman. Mit. James Van Tassel has boon appointed agent for one of the largest distillers ol corn whiskey in the up country, and will be able to supply everybody with the same at greatly reduced prices. Ho is selling a gen uine pure Havana cigar at live cents. Wc acknowledge the receipt of a sam ple of his cigars and pronounce them all light. Reports from all parts of the coun tiy agree that the drought now pre vailing is most disastrous to the rice crop, la some sections it is an en tire failure. The 3?ield of cotton is also being a fleeted and many crops will fall short of the expectation of the owner. Rain will benefit pota toes and peas yet, and wc hope it may come in lime and in copious showers. Pomona Grange.?The next quar terly meeting of Cornelia Grange will be held at White Cane Grange on Saturday, October lib, 1S7U. A large attendance is earnestly requested, as the meeting will be an important one to the order. Masters and sccrcta rics will please have their reports ready. Hour of meeting 11 o'clock, A. M. Kirk RoniNsoN, Scct'y P. G. No. 17. An old man fell dead in Mansvillc, Pcnn., one Sunday night recently, while sitting in the parlor where his daughter and her young man were sparking. It. may bo that the con duct of the young couple .sickened the old man and caused his death, but it will do no harm, and perhaps much good, to cut this paragraph out and show it to the old folks who arc addicted to slicking in the parlor on Sunday evning when their daugh ter's beau wants to tell her a great many secrets, and so forth. We learn that Dr. E.?Cookc, Presi dent of Clallu University, will return to-morrow and that the exercises ol his College will be resumed on the 7th of October iicx'. Aftern three months' visit to his Northern home and friends, he returns to Iiis field of labor refreshed and better prepared for the arduous duties of his ofllcc. Dr. Cookc is doing a noble work lor the colored race and by an eminently consistent, course of Christian conduct has won l oth the confidence of the colored and respect of the while peo ple of Ibis community. Wc wish lor him a successful ami pleasant year's work. Wi? nro pained to hoar of the ex treme illness of Mrs. J. C. A rant of St. Matthews. We earnestly hope she may be restored to health and soundness of body again. Mr. W. L. Glaze, the assistant tenchor of Sheridan's Classical School, was sent for on Tuesday night last to attend Ins mother in her severe illness. We hope he may be ohlc soon to return to his post and duties. Mit. J. C. Tike's store is full of customers from morning until night, attracted there by his unusually large and well selected stock. His polite assistants vie will, each other in their attentions and clforls to please cus tomers and none go away without feeling satisfied with the bargains ob tained. If you desire to buy all you want at one place of the best kind and at the lowest prices go to J. C. Pike's store. For the Teeth.?Many of the powders and pastes now in the mar ket contain ingredients like pumice stone, charcoal, &c., which ought never to bo used for the 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, and contains nothing gritty or rough for the teeth. For sale by Dr. j. G. \Y ask a ma k V.M. Commissioner Ilaydcn has been at work during the week on the River Swamp Causeway, and will soon have a dry passage over that hither to wet and rough section of the road. We learn that the Commissioners are paying special attention to the loads of the county, and many of them are in better condition now than at anypc riod since tiie war. For (his the Hoard deserves the thanks of the communi tics, for nothing conduce more to the prosperity of a people than good roads. Ik you have cotton to ^.ell bring it to Orangeburg, and you will not re gret it. Our cotton buyers are live, progressive business men, and pay the liigliest market price for the sta ple. If you want to buy goods come to Orangeburg. Our merchants, ever alive to the progress of the times, are prepared to supply your wants on as advantageous terms as any mer chants in the Slate. We extend a cordial invitation to every farmer in Orangeburg and adjoining counties to give our merchants a trial. KottTjoun's store is full to over flowing both with goods and custom ers. During the week he has received I large consignments from New York,! Baltimore, Iloston, Charleston and! August a, .".iid are offering them low down?in fact cheaper than they can | be made ; but when Iiis orders arc to "sell nt once as we need the money," of course he has no alternative, and! away they go to delighted buyers at| half their value. Fanners, their sisters and aunts are advised to call early and secure some of these un-' heard of bargains. His Five Cent Counter, that new idea in the busi ness world, is replenished eveey day and articles sold by regular" dealers at twenty-live cents are found on this counter at live. No toys or use-j less things, but good substantial use-! I'ul articles. Our young friend Ri/.erl is kept busy from morning 'tili I night waiting on customers in this department. * Ox Thursday morning, between the hours of 7 nnd 8 o'clock, when Mr. Fred. Livingston, the jailer, un tucked the first door on the second floor of the jail to see if the cells had been attended to, and while standing in the door, Adam Green, a colored prisoner concealed behind the door, struck Mr. Livingston a severe blow in the face with his fist. Before he could recover from the blow, Green and two others jumped upon him [dealing blow after blow and attempt ing at the same time to wrest the pistol from the .hand of the jailer. The seuillc continued down the fiighl of steps to the lower floor where the door was locked, when Mr. Livings ton Ii red four shots with the hope of doing some execution. Already ex hausted, however, his aim was of no lolled, and the ruffians .succeeded in ! obtaining the keys, and, unlocking the door, two of lliein made their es j rape, the third Mr. Livingston forced to return to his cell. Several citizens, white and co'orcd, were attracted to the &ccno anil made immediate pur suit, which was followed up until one of the ruffians was overtaken in Mr. Pike's stables and brought back, j This man had a wound in the palm of his loft hand, which he said was made by one of I he shots fired by Mr. Livingston in thoscufiie. Adam Green, the lender, and a notoriously bad character, is still at largo. We hope lie will lie yet recaptured and made to miller the penalty of his crime. Miss Merrill, a tca?cr in Chilli n University, who visit 1 her home in the North nt the end o the inst schol astic year, was marritl on the lGth instant, and will not return to resume the duties of her ofllii. We regret this decision which derives the Col lege of one of its best islructdrs and our oonnnunity of otn, ol the most exemplary young Iadjh that has vis ited our section since the war. In .Miss Merrill were combined those} peculia ? qualities of hurt and mind which won for her the ijspcet and es teem of every one whom she came in contact. M:v her future life be as prosperous and happy ns her merits deserve. We called at the ollcip of Mr. Gco. H. Cornclson on Wedtosday last, and in company with his dtcf clerk, Mr. John M. Dnnner, made a tour of in spection through his ruunmolh estab lishment. Entering llnsample room, wo saw one of each pict of furniture conveniently arrangcc'fo attract the purchaser's eye, but jvern scarcely' prepared by this intraluctory cere mony, for the huge slocl awaiting us in the adjoining rooms. Ascending a llight of stairs we cn tired a room in which chairs of everydescription, size, quality end price}were piled literally mountain higli4onongh wo thought to supply two ach counties as Orangcburg.

Across t'.'.o passage way vc found the same endless variety of clamber fur niture, consisting of vardobos, draw ers, tables and indeed cvtfy conceiva ble article adapted to thcbonvicucncc and comfort of a well appointed par lor or bed chamber. Atjoining this room was another filled tc the ceiling with bedsteads of cvcrypatlcrn and degree of beauty, Innung in price from ?2 up to the lined. Moving carefully through the massof furniture we were ushered into the nothing de partment, where long nbles were loaded with large piles ofevcry arti cle of wear necessary toinan's com foi fc. Full suits of gen tic pen's cloth ing?no shoddy' 2I01I1?nfly be had here at remarkably low /rices, run niiig from ?3.50 to S^OXtJ per suit; single coats of excellent!tnbric $1.90, pants nt simitar prices and the best assortment of youths' pycrcoals we have seen in any country market. Decend ing to the store proper, we saw upon the counters <n the left banks of blankets, shawls ind cloaks ; upon our right on rulers wrc saddles to supply every horscnan in the county, and further on, larness for buggies, carriages and vagons. A splendid assortment of hardware was attractively ai ranged on he shelves presenting the appearance if a whole sale hardware estnblislimen. Across from those was the boot at I shoe de partment, embracing every quality and shic from the tiny bain shoe and neat lady's gaiter to the to. 12 bro gan.

Every style kiown in the fashionable world may be seen, every quality from line to the fiscsl may be examined and every prict from Sets per yard to the bottom of the purse may he paid. A look at the groceries and a peep at the fancy articles closed the inspection, and wc bowed "good evening to proprietor and clerks, j thinking as wc passed out that Mr. Cornclson had brought a little of eve rything from New York to Orangc ! burg.
