..;!!' ' Ourselves. .
In the biSMOCttAY of November 7th
an article appeared from a corres
pondent making certain enquiries re
specting t\ie conduct of the Orange
bury 'Times in the recent municipal
election with reference to Mr. Gco.
Bolivcr, ami also that paper's mihi
treatment of the Bolivcr-lJyas scan
dal. -We slated in the same issue
that we knew nothing of the business
of our- coteniporary and could not,
therefore, answer the questions. At
liret we declined to publish the arti
cle of ?our?correspondent, believing it
could answer no good purpose ; but
its publication being insisted upon j
by the author and Iiis friends, and j
the Democrat being "a paper for the
people," in which every citizen, bow
ever humble could have a hearing,
wo determined to give the ailielc to
the public. It is hot our design to j
say one word relative to the editorial
management of our neighbor either
in these particular.:, or upon any
other subject where we are not per
sonally, concerned. If the reply giv
en in the last issue of the 2'tmcs, in
relation to the matters enquired af
ter, be satisfactory to our correspon
dent, it certainly is to us. In that
reply, lipwcvcr, the Times goes out of
its way to. make an attack upon us
personally by unwarrantably draw
ing public attention to our connec
tion with that paper last year. The
animus of this attack, its justice and
the motive that prompts it wo leave
to the judgment of an impartial pub
lic, after making Ibis candid and final
?'..dement of fads us they cxitfW--1
At the beginning of the present
year when wo entered upon the pub
lication c i" the 0 it a x o Kit u kg Dicmo
chat,'we published a card which wo
tbougbt uouhl be satisfactory to the
public,., Mi. Holivcr the next week
published the card alluded to in the
last issue of the Times, upon which
the editor of that paper bases his
charge of our receiving wages of Mr.
Iloiivcr. This card left the matter as
a question of veracity between our
scli'aud Mr. Doliver, and not wish
ing to enter into a controversy with {
Mr. Uoiiver about the matter, we
suii'orcd it lo rest with the public,
which to believe.
The editor of the Tims sees fit to
repeat the charge and boastingly in
forms the public that he "never edit
ed for a'Radical and never will," not
withstanding his ed.toiial connection
with i he (J'urion tinder Mr. T. C.
An !n iv.:, We shall not attempt to
decide who owned the Clarion^ but
this we do know, that the material
tipon which the Democrat is printed
was purchased from the Rev. Alonzo
Webster, and it is the name material
upon which the ( htrion was formerly
printed. This alone makes it neces
sary for us to impose upon the pub
lie again the following statement of
facts :
In December, 1677, we bought of
Mr. .Geo. B.diver the Ora.ngt.bury
Tim s, who then claimed it as his in
dividual properly. It was a genuine
sab: and we had not the slightest
doubt of the legal right of Mr. lioli
ver to seil ili.j paper until the News
Company sued out an injunction and
stopped its publication. We immc
ciatcly applied 'o Gen. J. F. I/lar,
our legal adviser in the whole matter,
f ir counsel, who.instructed us, as we
were already under contract to pur
chase th'o p iper, not to accept titles
from Mr. Uoiiver, but to go on and
run Ilse Times in the interest and for
the good of the Democratic party.
A motion was consequently made to
dissolve the ii-junction which was ?
successful; and we entered upon the j
duly of editing the Times as an or
gan of'tlm ? Democratic party, and J
with the view of ultimately becoming
its owftcr -whi'n the suit was ended.
This was tunic with the approval of
many Staunch Democrats and person
al friends.
During the entire year the paper i
was in litigation?various parties
claiming an interest in it by reason
of purchase and otherwise ; indeed, it
belonged to no one man but to a
company, a part of whom were pray
ing that an accounting bo had and
their portion ol' the assets be paid up.
We, at the same time, frequently
urged our counsel to push matters
that the suit might be closed and our
purchase of Ilm paper consummated.
While the paper, including its fi
nances, was thus in the hands of the
Court, wo received seventy-live dol
lars for our services, not from Mr.
Doli vor as the Tivws charges, but
from Gen. J. F. Ijslar, our legal advis
er in every step wo took. We bad
nothing to do with Mr. Boliver, never
made any agreement with him about
pay and never designed to do so.
The paper being iu litigatiou, of
course, we had no control of its fi
nances, nor could we make any ar
rangement of the kind with Mr. Boli
ver or with any other member of the
Company who had a claim upon the
concern. It was a matter between
Gen. I/Jar and ourself exclusively.
The suit is still pending, and no legal
disposition can be made of II12 paper
until the Court decides who owns it.
Willi this statement we dismiss the
subject.
Thai Mortgage.
We dislike very much to parade
our private a (lairs before the public,
but inasmuch as the editor of the
Times has seen lit to publish the fact
Unit A. Webster holds a mortgage on
our paper, for the purpose, no doubt,
of trying to injure our business, we
feel assured wo will be indulged
while we make a short statement in
regard to this matter: When we
first came to Orangeburg one year
ngo we purchased the material, upon
which the l.dislo Clarion, was being
printed, from A. Webster. Not be
iug able just at that time to collect
some money that we had out, wo ask
ed and received one year's indulgence
on the purchase money, Si,200, for
which indulgence we paid ten per
cent, interest. The mortgage ma
tures on the first day of January,
1SS0, about six weeks hence, when it
will bo promptly met and lakon up
by us. As our readers can sec there
is no particular harm in this mort
gage. The giving of this instrument
was simply n business transaction,
and its being unwarrantably dragged
before the public by the editor of
Ihc Times, only shows to what extent
some people will go in their wild at
tempts to injure ihclr neighbors.
m^m^. ??Ajjother'Mortgage. - -
If there is one characteristic of our
nature more fully developed than
another, it is in being unselfishly de
voted to our friends and in practicing
a forgiving charity towards our ene
mies. We fully and freely forgive
tl'.e editor of the Times for any inju
ry that he intended to do us in drag
ging our private affairs before the
public, but we would embrace this
opportunity of reminding him that a
man who lives in a glass house should
not throw stones, as they might
lo him more harm than the parties
for whom they are intended. The
2<lilor of the Times with a great nour
ish of trumpets announced that his
.itle to thai paper was recorded. We
suppose that is true so far it goes.
But while prating about the mortgage
.hat is over our paper why did he not
^o on and tell about the mortgage
1 lint Gco. Boliver has hanging over
Ihc Oriingt bury Times. Strange as it
may appear Boliver does hold a mort
gage over that paper, and to make
Lhc matter worse he will hold it lor
Lwo years lo come as the last pay
ment is to be made sometime in 1882,
unless Boliver should sec lit to ac
cept the money and release it before
Lliat time. We invite the attention
of the public to the accommodating
Lcrms upon which the Tim s was sold
lo its present owners. It was bought
by I hem in January, 1879, yet the
first payment is not to be made until
January, 1881, two years after, ar.d
the last payment in January, 1882,
Lhree years after its purchase. We
were not in such high favor with the
Radical from whom we bought our
material as to get such accommodat
ing terms. Our obligation must and
'fill be met on the fust day of next
January, while the proprietors of the
Times have until January 1882 to
meet theirs. ''Consistency thou art a
jewel."
The Supreme Court.
We clip the following paragraph
from the Bsaufort Crescent : "Think
:>f Governor Simpson on the Supreme
Bench with a telephone from the
Broad-street Clique to whisper in his
uar the law and the gospel. Where
would small-sized attorneys be if
Lhey happen not to be regarded as
necessary factors towards making a
place on the Supreme Bench of South
Carolina what it once was?a place
>f private station." Gov. Simpson
ivould be as far above the influence
of this dreaded Broad-street Clique,
we hear so much of, as any mau In
the Stale. It is immaterial to us who
Is elevated lo the Supremo Bench, u3
wo feel assured the Legislature will
elect no ono who is not worthy and
competent to fill tho olliec, but we
must enter our protest against the
above paragraph as it does a great
injustice to a gentleman whose pri
vate life is pure, and whose integrity
is abovo reproach. Oppose Gover
nor Simpson if you want to, but doit
in a legitimate way, or it may re
bound and kill your candidate, who
ever he may be.
Meeting of the Agriouitural Society.
The Orangeburg Agricultural So
ciety held its annual meeting in the
Fair Building ou Saturday, Novem
her loth, 1879. After the reading,
correcliug and confirmation of the
minutes, the President called for the
Secretary's report which was read.
This, bcingulho annual meeting,
was the proper time for the election
of officers to serve the Society the en
suing year. The President, Dr. \V.
F. Barton, having served the Society
for eleven years as its presiding offi
cer, desired to be relieved, and asked
the members to select a younger and
more active man to this responsible
office. The Society, however, need
ing his valuable counsel and experi
ence, decided to re-elect him and did
so by a unanimous vote. Dr. j. C.
Holman, Capt. J. L. Moorcr and Mr.
J. J. Salley were elected Vicc-Prcsi
dents. Mr. Kirk Robinson, the pres
ent incumbent, and Mr. J. K. Vosc
were put in nomination for the Secre
tary and Treasurer's olliec. Both
gentlemen declined, but a ballot was
taken and Mr. Kobinson was elected.
The Presixlent desired lo know the
names of those members who were
engaged in the grnpc culture, and the
following gentlemen responded : Dr.
W. F. Barton, Narpin Bigg1*, T. II.
Zimmerman, W. S. Robinson, and J.
J. Salley.
Dr. W. F. Barton marie a report of
three experiments he made during the
past season with flour ol bone, Ger
man -cju and cotton seed. Dr. Rav
enc , during a visit to the Doctor's
hon.e, gave it as his experience that
this bone was greatly improved by
coa'posting with a salt, as Kanitc,
and cotton seed. He thought that
more of the members should make
expei imcnls in order that the ?Socie
ty, by the combined experience of all
might arrive at more definite conclu
sions.
Mr. J. J. Salley made three exper
iments with Atlantic pho?phatc, salt
and dissolved bone. The cotton was
planted in the same quality of land
and tho same number of hills gather
ed from each section. The salt gave
the best return. The cotton grew oil
slowly at first but yielded the most
satisfactory results in the end.
Mr. J. \V. Dukes said that he used
salt on his crop at the rate of one
sack to the acre, and the yield was
most satisfactory on his place. It
paid belter on his land than any oth
er manure. He had caused iwo rows
in a negro's field lo be sailed and
ihese rows yielded as much as six
rows not sailed.
Mr. Vosc used salt with litter at
the rate of one sack per acre. At
first the cotton grew slowly and was
behind the rest of his crop but later
i*. caught up and yielded nS'Wcll
as any and two or three times more
than where litter was used alone.
Mr. J. J. Sallcy's experience with
salt is the same as that of Mr. Vosc.
The cotton would not grow oil* well i
at first but was very satisfactory in
the long run.
Dr. Holman said that salt was no
manure at all and contained no ma
nurinl properties, not even potash.
Its olliec was lo prepare I he veg table
mauler already in the soil for plant
food ami only in Ibis way was it ben
ficial.
Mr. Dukes said whether it was ?
manure or not it makes very fine cot
ton for him. He was an old farmer
and he thought as successful as the
rest of his neighbors and he had used
salt a long time and never failed to
realize the best results. He had used
it in every way, with stable manure,
litter etc., and his experience was
that hickory and black-gum leaves
were the best to use with salt.
Dr. Holman said, used with litter
salt would pay. Its office as a pre
paid- of plant, food was known in an
cient times for the Bible speaks of it
in connection wilh crops.
At this stage of the proceedings
the committee appointed at the last
meeting to draw up resolutions on
the death of Mr. W. M. Hutson.
made following repoit through its
chairman, Mr. E. ^. Felder:
Religion and virtuetcach us of mor
tality and we reverently bow to the
mysterious decree that renders lo-day
ours?to-morrow a fearful uncertain
ly. 1 he familiar home scenes arc
grave-marks of our fellows, the every
hour contact but a reminder that n
gap has been made. .Smiles are dis
pelled for (cars, I ho companionship
of tried and trusted souls is exchang
ed for a life-long parting and the
light of our cherished jo3*s is mellow
ed by the coming fall. This reflec
tion is induced by the decease of nur
brother, William M. sIlutson. Dei
Foo tiuthfully and cynically says that
"headstones tell of virtues known
never before."- Our friend was a
splendid exception to a conventional
eenlimenlnlisni. He was a gentle
man of Carolina's old school. I Je
was bred and had adopted its sever
est requirements. Gentle, courteous,
considerate, noble, he sacrificed his
comfort too often in obedience to that
of persous who had no claim upon
him. In his family ho was all that
home could require ; in society, its
favorite guest; in public life, rc
proaehless; and in the church, a
faithful Christian. Therefore lie it
Jiisolved, That this Society bow

the decree of All mighty God, which

Dr. IIoiinan*iaid that the cultiva
tion of jute in this country was like
the Indian's gun, it cost more than it
comes to.
Mr. Riggs was of the same opinion.
He planted onc?sixleenlh of an acre
and the plant .grew very rank and
high, and he thought it would make
at least GOO pounds, but when gather
ed he realized only 75 pounds. It
required three or four hands three
days to prepare it for baling. He
had a bale of it on exhibition at both
the County and State Fairs. At the
last he look the premium of ?50. No
one could plant it in this county as a
money crop while labor is so high.
Tue worth of juleps four or live cents
per pound.
i'earl millet.
Mr. Iladley said he wished to try
this millet as a forage crop for horses,
sheep and cows, and desired the Sec
retary to read an article upon its cul
tivation and yield, from a paper he
received from New York. This arti
cle gave a glowing account of its rap
id growth, ease of cultivation, enor
mous yield and value as a forage
crop. Mr. "I adley said all the papers
spoke of this millet in similar terms
and he desired the Secretary to write
on for some seed for distribution to
the members.
Mr. Irwin Dukes said he had plant
ed this millet and had some of the
seed for sale. It was a different plant
from the common horse millet. It
grows about six or seven feet high
and produces a head similar to the
hoise millet but longer and twice as
large. One aero mauured as cotton
would make as much as live of corn
fodder and all kinds of slock ^werc
fond of it.
clement attach >1 ext.
? Dr. [Barton said he received a pa
per with an account of one of these
machines. There was one in opera
lion on a small scale at Westminster
in this Stale. It required live or six
e.hildren and one skilled operator to
manage the machinery. He thought
it was destined to revolutionize the
wo!Id?increasing the value of the
farmers' cotton crop at least 00 per
cent. Yarn made on this machine
was worth from 2 to 3 cents more
per pound than ginned cotton. It
was the gin wedded to the spinning
machine and required five hundred
pounds of seed cotton to keep it at
work for onj day. The price, $3,500,
he thought was two high, which was
against its general introduction. One
thousand dollars would be its worth
in two years. Dr. \\. desired to know
if it would pay three or four farmers
living near together to get one. Ho
was willing to go into it and go in
largely.
Mr. Riggs, while at Anderson this
summer, saw one of these machines
at work. The cotton In the seed was
thoroughly dusted before it entered
the gin, which having very small
teeth, cleaned the seed perfectly.
From the gin it entered the carding
machine after w hich it was separated
and cnleicd tin tubes, where it was
twisted into thread. The thread was
one-third stronger than other thread
and the ladies preferred to use it.
lie thought it would be better to get
four machines as one skilled work
man could attend that many and
twclvo boys or girls could manago
two mucbiucs.
Dr. Ration moved that a commit
tee of three be appointed to inquire
into the matter and report as soon as
possible. The President appointed
Dr. W. F. Barton, II. Riggs and Mr.
Iladlcy as the commit!ee.
The Society here adjourned to par
lake of a splendid dinner prepared in
the next room. After completing
this very necessary work and drawing
new inspiration from the President's
demijohn, a call was made on Dr.
J. C. Holman for a speech. The Doc
tor acquitted himself handsomely, do
ing full justice to the dinner, the
wine and pine straw.
More Mention.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
"Wc had the pleasure of listening to
a most excellent sermon, delivered by
Rev. J. Hawkins, editor of the Luthe
ran Visitor, on the 2nd instant, at
St. Matthews' Church, from 2nd Cor
inthians, 13th chapter, and 5th verse,
lie had been previously solicited lo
deliver a sermon on the Great Luthe?
ran Reformation, this being its 3C2nd
anniversary. Fears were entertained
that we would have disagreeable
weather, but the day was all that
could be desired, calm and pleasant.
Long before Ihc hour for divine ser
vice had arrived, a iarge anxious and
interesting congregation assembled.
Wc feel our great i: ability lo make
any comments on the sermon, and
will therefore leave it for a more
table pen. It is not enough to say
he fulfilled our expectations, we were
highly pleased, and not only we, but
a good many otheis who heard. He
is looking remarkably well and in line
spirits. His daughter accompanied
him. Sound in doctrine, whole soul
Lutheran, efficient pastor, full of
Christian piety, and as an editor he
has few equals. His highly appre
ciated and welcome Visitor shall al
ways claim a place in our heart and
j home circle. How any Christian
households can get on without their
church paper we arc at a loss to know.
Wc felt ourselves honored to have so
distinguished a guest with other
friends lo dine with us on Monday.
May he long live lo serve his church
and his Creator. A.

Danger Ahead.
An Alban j' correspondent of the
New York Siin says that "the Robin
i?n Democrats are not only astonish
ed but paralyzed by the result of the
election." lie attributes Ihc defeat
of Robinson not lo the lack of voles,
(or he had a surplus of fifty thousand'
to spare and could then count on a
majority, b.?t kl!-cca;:se more than
j two hundred thousand stayed away
from the polls;" The same writer
says that Ibis defeat will "have a
most damaging eflVct on tho prospects
I of Democratic success. l ean see no
j way out of the present dilemma. Mr.
I Kelly has proved himself fcliong
enough to u.in the party if he is not
permitted to rule it. Our Presiden
tial candidate must be acceptable to
him, or he will repeat his perform
ance of this year. Put a candidate
acceptable lo Mr. Kelly may, on lhat
very account, be obnoxious to oilier
Democrats in New York. Polls are
very apt lo beget bolls. There ie

Charles F. King, who shot and killed
Mrs. Dora Praemscr, a married wo
man, with whom he was desperately
in love, on July 4, 187."?, withdrew
his plea of not guilty of murder in Ihe
second degree, and was sentenced lo
the penitentiary for twenty years by

was pronounced King made a strong
pioteet, saying that his lawyer told
him if he would take this course he

chances of conviction under Ihe origi

M.ore Emigrants for Liberia.

Ocn Demcratic contemporaries of
prominence readily agree with us that
Horatio Seymour wculd be tho best
Presidential candidate the party
could name, but they are inclined to
seriously doubt whether he could be
Induced to make tho race. We be
lieve such fears to be groundless.
Gov. Seymour could not, would not
refuse to respond to his paity's call
were he to be nominated. He is too
much a statesman, too much a patriot,'
to allow his personal wishes to hinder
the consummation of a great national
good. We know he does not seek
the executive office, bnt that is not
the question. The Democratic party
and the country itself are seeking
him.? Washington IJ')st,Dem.
