A. I?a.i>ox-'f<>i* tho People. orangeuurg, S. (J., Sept. 10. 1S80. New Jewelry Store.?Wo lcnrn tbat Mr. II. Spabr, of Mneon, Ga., will open a jewelry storo in our town the latter part of this month. True success results from true mer it. Hall's Vegetablo Sioilian Hair Iienewer is placed before tho public, resting solely on its own merits. Its success is already indisputable. New Enterprise.?We understand tbat the. marble for tho marble works to he establishad iu our town by Mt. C Mayhew, of Columbia, is already at - the depot. This enterprise is another sign of progress for Orange burg, and we wish its projector abun dant success. Home Again.?Mr. J. M. Dauner, who has been in New York for some time purchasing a stock of goods for Mr. Geo. H. Cornelsou, returned home on Monday last. Mr. Danner, during his trip was ill but has suffici ently recovered to bo up and give his attention to business, Fine Syrup.?We acknowledge the receipt of a fine specimen of syrup made by Mr. T. L. Dantzler, of Van cos Forry from the early amber cane. This syrup was mado iu three months from the time the seed was planted and yielded thirty four gallons from three-sixteenths of an acre. The taste and flavor are excellent. Cotton Picking.?Cotton picking is progressing rapidly and our farmers will soon be over the worst of the season. The September gales are yet to come and scientist say that the present month will be particularly threatening and destructive, because of certain unusual atmospherical phe momena that are to happen as tho perihelion of Jupiter and opposition of Saturn. Accident.?On Sunday Morning last the South bound train on the South Carolina Railroad ran over a broken rail one mile above Stilton, which, bending after the engine pass ed, threw live empty passenger coaches from the track. The cars were slightly damaged, and the road bed considerably'injured. There was no passing of trains until Monday moruing. Sad Death.?We fcegret to record f tbe death of Mrs. Lovic Edwards, i;mfe of. Mr. F.' D.' Edwards of Branch t yiile, which occurred "?n Tuesday evening last; from a severe: attack ol Billlcus Fever. ' Mrs. Edwards was just in the prime of life with many days of happiness before her. She leaves a husband and two little chil dren to suffer their lost of so dear a companion and mother. A delegate to the Republican Con vention from Darlington County wus arrested at Florence on his way to the Convention for obtaining goods under false pretence, and is now in jail.; If starting to a Radical Con vention had such a bad effect upon a delegate we shudder to think of the consequences had he taken part in its deliberations. That fellow was des tined to be the companion of thieves any how, so his being jailed ueedn't worry him much, A Freak ov Nature.?We saw at Branchvillc on Wednesday last at the drug store of Dr. O. H. Ott, a corn stock which terminated at the top in a bunch ct oats with blades and grain v/ell defined, and at the base of the oats were several small ears of corn growing around the stock. This is certainly a strunge freak of nature as there is no similarity in the two grains, both entirely different as to nature of growlii and development. The stock grew on the farm of Mr. Fred Bruce. To The Mercuants, Farmers ami Citizens Generally op Orange'hurg County.?We would respectfully call your attention to our large and well selected stock of Hats, Shoes, Cloth ing, Shirts, Socks, Stockiuge, Knives ? and Forks, (both Silver aud Steel,) Pocket Knives, Whips, &c.

This valua ble medicine is for sale by Dr. J. G. Wannamaker. Price 75 cents per bot tle, a Dots.?The weather baa been win tcrish for the last day or two. Fob goutlemcn's furnishing goods including some of the best Unlaun dried Shirts go to J. I. Sorrentrue. * Boliver believes in the shot-gun policy. But the negroes must manuge the gun while ho manages his oQlce. In the yard of Col. Mortimer Glo ver is a pear tree in full bloom at this time, exhibiting all the beautylaud life of early spring. For lamps of every description go to J. I. Sorrentrue, the largest aud bestselected stock at lowest prices tol found there. * i The Rev. W. R. Richardson preach ed an eloquent and instructive ser mon at St. Paul's Methodist Church last Sundny morning. Let every Democrat in the couuty now go to work, and seo by his aid, what a majority can be rolled up for our ticket in November. The Rev. W. R. Richardson and his beautiful young bride have been in town several days on a visit to Mrs. Richardson's parents. Maj. W. V. Izlar has accepted a position at tho store ot Mr. G. H. Cornelson, where he will be pleased to see and serve bis friends. Alonzo wanted to be Comptroller General but the darkies said they couldn't swallow him, so his ambi tion must remain uuaatisflcd. Read the advertisement of Mr. G. H. Cornelson in this issue, and then call at his store and seo the many good things that he has in stock. Our friend, Joseph Eros, has on hand a full supply of candies, fruit, cake, nuts, &c. Aldo, a full line of Begars, pipes, tobacco, &c. Give him a call. The new Methodist Church at Jam ison's was dedicated lust Sunday ; the sermon on tue occasion was preached by the Rev. \V.?W. Duncan. This church will be known as New Pros pect. Read the announcement of Mr. Theodore Kohn in another column. He is now opening a very large and complete stock of goods. The ladies specially are invited to visit this es tablishment. Mr. J. C. Pike lias secured the ser vices of Mr. B. P. Izlar as salesman. Mr..Izlar would be pleased to have his friends call at the above establish ment where he will take pleasure in serving them. Our young and talented friend, T. M. Gilland, Esq., of Kingstree, has btieh placed in. nomination before the Democratic primaries of Williams burg County for a seat in the legisla ture. We hope he will be elected. The Rev. J. F. Riser's school opens next Monday. Mr. Kiser is a gentle man of education and refinement, and we have no hesitation in recotneuding him to our people as in every way fully qualified to instruct their chil dren. A bunch of eight keys, with a plate marked H. A. L. Pawioski,* Green ville, S. C, 1871, was found in the yard of the fair building on Monday last. The owner can get the same by applying at this olllce and paying for this notice. Oft in the stilly night the sufferer with piles wondered where he could obtain relief until he sought and found it in Tablor's Buckeye Pile Ointment, certainly the best remedy for piles, j Price 50c.

So look out. If Sidney Smith, whose genial na ture was a well-spring of pleasure to his friend .'j, had suffered with an in active liver ho would have used Port aline, or Tabler's Vegetable Liver Powder. Price 50c. For sale by Dr. J. G. Wannamakcr. 2 The many friends of the Rev. W. W. Duncan were sadly disappointed at not having the pleasure ot bearing him preach at the Methodist Church last Sunday evening as was expected. This gifted divine has a host of ad mirers in Orangeburg. We heard a Democrat say the oth er day that Boliver liked to have the newspapers notice his misdeeds. We are really glad to hear this, as we consider it our duty to givo him a touch up occasionally, and if iic likes it our dnty becomes move pleasant.

Addison. For salo by S. A. Reeves. A Radical Honored.?Tbc Abbe ville Medium says it is stated that the Trustees oi the South Carolina Uni versity have offered a professorship in Clafiln University to cx-Aasociate Justice Wright. It will bo remem bered that Wright was charged with drunkenness before the Legislature of 1877 and steps were taken to impeach him when he resigned. Now he is to be elevated to a very responsible posi tion by the Domocrnts. The colored youth of the State are to bn. put under j his care and guidance and will look up to him as a standard for tbeir morals ? and principles. Will they bo elevated and enlightened by his instructions? It strikes us that tho Legislature of 1877 did Wright a great injustice or the Trustees have made a serioos mis take. What have they to say for themselves "why sentence should not be pussed upon him?" Good Crops.?Wo accompanied the Washington Grango committee a few weeks ago on their round of visi ting a few of the crops in the Middle St. Matthews section, and were as tonished to And what progress iu farming had been made in a few years. Science and practical sense have com bined in making this one of the most advanced sections of our country. The crops were tho best we had seen this season and sufficiently advanced to be beyond tho reach of ordinary casualties. Home made manures and commercial fcrtizcrs judiciously com posted have made a bale of cotton to the acre, and twenty bushels of corn per acre quite a common yield. On a crop of one hundred acres of cotton planted by Mr. D. H. Rush, the ma jority of tho Committee gave him an estimate of ninety five bales ; On fifty seveu acres of cotton planted by Dr. J. W. Summers, 1,070 pounds per acre or fifty bales, and on forty three acres of corn, one thousand bushels ; aud on a crop of some sixty acres planted by M r. Geo. D. Rast 1,040 pounds per acre and 23 bushels corn per acre. This is certainly a most gratifying showiug for our farine-s" and county and we think compares favorably with any other. One of the most pleasant features of these visits is a suberb dinner furnished in the main of things raised on the farm. Laying a Corner Stone.?Accor ding to previous announcement quite a crowd of citizen from the village aud surrounding country of Branchville met on Wednesday last to witness the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new Methodist Church. Not withstanding the unfavorable weather buggies and wagons began to come in at an early hour and by eleven o'clock, the lime for meeting, a large number had gathered and were waiting the ringing of the towu boll. Rev. J. Berry opened the exercises by reading the biblo and prayer, after which Rev. T. Raysor read a history of the town from its first settlement to the present time. This was a most amus ing as well as entertaining paper, showing from what a small and insig nificant beginning our little thriving sister town could boast. Rev. Dove Tiller and Capt. Hugo G. Sheridan made speeches on the occasion. The first reviewed the history of the Chris tian church and in a gr utile manner pictured the different crises througli which it passed before it reached its present position of influence iu the world. The second speaker had scarcely enteied upon his subject be fore the threatening clouds began to rain and force the audience to seek shelter as beet they could. It was soon evident thnt the speaking could not be resumed and Dr. Raysor, the I pastor, proceeded with the ceremony of laying the corner stone. The fol lowing articles were as carefully de posited as possible under the unfavor able circumstances: Copies of the Bih'c, Methodist Hymn Book and Disciplane, Southern Christian Ad vocate, Christian Neighbor, church literature, Charleston News & Cour ier With Mr. Hay aul's Columbia Speech, Ouangeuurg Democrat, and Orangeburg Times; Roll of Officers and members of the Branchville Bap tist Sunday School, also of tho Hu mility and Sardis, both Methodist, Sunday Schools; postal caid and envelope of Mr. J. D. Rnond, Dry Goods Dealer ; Several pieces of coin, History of the Berry family that came from Ireland in 1757; A piece of Continental money (paper) 107yoars old ; a roll of Confederate money Likenesses of the contractor, E. T. R. Smoak and of Mr. James Burton Berry, tho farther of the Church, with a Enlogy of the latter written by a lady of Branchville. . This being over, dinner was announced and al though the rain was pouring down, very nearly every body romained and paid his quarter Cor one of the best meals ever enjoyed on such occasions. It is said that forty, dollars were rea lized by the table committee. Tho evening entertainment by tho ladies was in full blast at the town hall when the writer of theso notes got aboard the New York Express, for winch his thanks are due Mr. Ligon, the courte ous Railroad agent. Mr. Jas. Van Tassel, who went North some time ago to improve his health, has just returned and brought with him a large slock of best Gro ceries and Liquors from New, York which he is selling very cheap for the limes. Something tu at Evekyonk Should Know.?T?o undersigned Urm 1ms purchased a largo aud convenient lot adjointng their atoro lot, which they havo opened into one largo yard and built thereon an elegant stable, 25 by 100 feet. Also, an accommodation house, comfortably arranged, to meet the wants of those who arc compelled to camp in town over night. Wheth er they arc customers or not, all are welcomo to come and apeud the night here, free of charge, as these con veniences have been built for all who may need them. They have also completed a splendid cotton platform, 20 by 80 feet, and are now prepared to buy all cotton offered them, for which they will pay the highest mar ket price. Cash always in hand to pay for it. They use Fairbank's im proved Southern cotton beam for weighing and guarantee weights and prices. This firm has also fitted up the entire upper story of their store for clothing, hats, &c, of which they have a large stock, carefully selected und bought at lowest cash figures, which enables them to sell far below most houses, and when quality is taken into consideration their prices will eclipse those of any house in Or angeburg. They inteud giving up tho whiskey business on January 1, (which they sell now only by the quart and gallon,) and have a stock of 85,000 on hand, consisting of the various articles in the whiskey line, which they ure now offering at prices that can't bo beut in'small quanties in any house in the United States. This is a broad assertion, but it .is nevertheless true, as a trial will fully prove. D. E. Smoak & Co , of whom we speak, are always up to the times, and don't you forget it. a Ninety-Six, S. C, April 14,1879.? Dr. L. T. Hill.?I have been suffer ing from indigestion aud dyspepsia for some time ; had no appetite, and was very restless nt night.
