?Km%$tbM$ ?m\MK at. A. Xa?i>ei* for tl&o X^oopl??. Okangehuko, S. (J., Dice. 17. 1S30. The colloctiug in groupa of young men about the street corners on Sun day afternoons received a timely re buke at the hands of the Mayor on Monday morning last, which wc hope will abate the nuisance. Haity, happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the dclu >ions of our childish days ; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth ; that can transport the sailors and travelers thousand of miles away back to his own fireside and his quiet home I Permanent relief for dyspepsia, sour stomach, billiousness, and all diseases ol a disordered liver can be had by using Portaline, or Tablet's Vegetable Liver Powder. Price 50c. AVhitc's Cream White Vermifuge is the best worm killer. For salo by Ur. J. G. Wunnamaker. Oun thanks are due the young la-1 dies of Pine Grove and Dr. Walter II. Wolfe for a cordial invitation to attend their entertainment to be given at the churcb on the 23d instant. Wc j regret that other engagements will I prevent our attendance, but wish our j young friends a nice time and a! grand success. Chief of Police Cannon showed us I the other day quite a number of cun ger balls taken from negroes whom i he had arrested, and said they were commonly canied by colored people to protect them from witches, and evil-disposed people and to give the ? weurer perfect immunity from dan- j gers of every kind. The heathens of Africa do tho same thing. He who said, "Sutler little children j to come unto me" was the great roun der of the gladsome feast of Christ mas, and it is in His honor that we uphold the feast and gladden the j hearts of little ones he loved so dear- ( ly. It is a pleasure, a holy pleasure, to make their smiles brighter, their laughter cheerier and more musical. Let us all, then proper!* celebrate Christmas day. Ocit thanks are tendered Mr. J. F. Jackson, of Cowcnstle, for a sample j of excellent syiup made from cane ; of this year's growth on three-eighths j of an acre of laud, from which he; manufactured two hundred and forty gallons. This is a yield of six bun dred and forty gallons per ncrt:, and is a complete answer to Mr. L. W. j Weeks' challenge in a previous issue, excelling him by forty gallons. H Mr. Jackson's yield can be excelled, let us have the ligures. Saka Bernheardt is said to be "dis tressed and indignant" over the rath er fice comments of American journals upon her character. Wc arc glad. A woman who parades her tlelianee of the laws of decency and morality, forfeits the protection of her woman hood and deserves the severest re proaches. Aside from this, Ameri cana owe it to their own diguity and sense of respectability to express un equivocally and freely their reproba tion of such characters as that of Miss Bernhardt. On the near approach of Christmas we find ourself holding a levee of de parted Christmas nights. Silently, into our study of imagination come j these apparitions, clad in snowy man- i ties, brooehed and gemmed with frosts. The vissages c:' some nre sad enough ; but, on the whole, 'tis a congregation of jolly ghosts. Before one apparition is a mound on which tho snow is lying, and as we contem plate that mound we wonder where are the boys and girls of onr youthful Christmas nights. Echo answers, where. Tue young ladies of Pine Grove Lutheran Church propose to give au entertainment on next Thursday, 23d instant, consisting of tableaux, cha rades, &c, to raise funds for repair ing the church. The exercises will begin at 11 o'clock, A. M., and din ner served at half past 2 o'clock. The public arc cordially invited to assist these young ladies in their noble ef forts to repair their church, and sure ly no ono will withhold his patron age when the purpose for which it is asked is so praiseworty and commen dable. Let every one attend to share in the enjoyments, the dinner and the honors of the occasion. At Their Post.?The bonds of our new county ofllcers having been ap proved by the Board of Commission ers and their commissions signed by the Goverhor, they are oil at their post in the discharge of their duties. Mr. J. II. Livinglon was the first to surrender, then the school commis sioner, probnto judge and county commissioners. The gentlemen, hav ing worn the honors of their respec tive positions gtucefully for their full terms, sun ender? (I cheerfully and re tired with dignity, but Boliver, true to his nature, had to be kioked out. The niruirs of Orangeburg arc now under the control of her own chosen ofllcers and she expects and will re ceive au honest and prosperous ad ministration in every department. Dorr.?lioy, to-moirow week is Christmas. Mu.E. P. Slater lost a fine horse on last Thursday. We aro really very sorry for Ya cob. He couldn't help it. Small farm wanted near town. Sec notice in another column. Don't forget the Young America Fair which opens on Monday night. Christmas Presents, for young and old, at the Fair will be sold at reason able prices. Young and old will be happy till next Christmas if they will only pa tronize Jos. Eros' confectionery. * Tut Presbyterian Church is being repainted, which will add consider ably to its appearance when finished. Buy your Christmas gifts early and often, but don't forget the pi inter if your subscription is in arrears. Pay up. Wc welcome to her former home Mrs. W. B. RiohardBon, who is here on a visit to her father's, Captain T. A. Jeffords. Cigars and tobacco of all qualities and prices by the box or by small quantities for sale low down at J. 1. Sorrcntruc. * Every body can get a bounteous Christmas Dinner at the Fair for 25 cents. No admission charged during Dinner Hours. Genuine goshen butter at 30 cents per pound, and choice hams at 10 cents per pound at J. I. Sorreutruc. Give him a call. * We understand that Bolivcr got very angry with Sheriff Livingston because he surrendered the Sheriff's olllce to Mr. Salley. We caution our readers about trad ing with Jos. Eros, unless they want the purest candies, soundest fruits, &c, at the lowest prices. * Christmas is rapidly coming this way, and the young man with a ISo. 9 foot will, as usual, bo presented w h a pair of No. G slippers. Parties wishing cakes or pies baked for Christmas are requested by Mr. T. W. Albergotti to send in their or ders by the 21st instant. Gen. Jas. F. Izlar has been elected Grand Master of the Masonic Fra ternity of South Carolina. We ex tend him our congratulations. If an untruth is only a day old it is a campaign lie ; if it is a year old it is called a falsehood ; b t if it is a ccnlurc old it is called a legend. How often the light smile of gladness Is worn l>y the fi iends that we meet, To cover a soul full of sadness. Too proud to acknowledge defeat. Hon. C. Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, and Hon. M. P. O'Connor, our iiuuiediatg Representative in Con gress, have our thanks for late public documents. We are glad to learn through a pri vate source that our young friends, B. H. Moss and II. S. Wannamaker, ate progressing finely in their college du ties at Wofford. If the rascality and deviltry carri ed on in the Courthouse since the time the Radicals first came into pos session could be unearthed what a stench it would be. Anybody can soil the reputation of an individual, however pure and chaste, by uttering a suspicion that his enemies will believe and his friends never hear of. Great sensation ! A Christmas pre sent given to everyone who bu>s $1 worth of goods or more from Joseph Bros* confectionery from the 15th of December to January 1. ? Among the varied and valuable things at the Fair arc a Buggy, sew ing Machine, Cloak, Dolman, Book stand, and, in fact, anything you can call for, even to Santa Claus himself. The Geogia Dome Insurance Com pany which donated ten dollars to the I benefit of the Young America Fair, is r sound Company, and is represen ted in our town by Mr. Kirk Robin son. We extend our congratulations to tho people of Orangeburg County on the general cleaning out the Court house lias had. Bolivcr was the iast telic of the days of rascality, but he had to go. The shortest way to get the best bargains is to be guided by the ad vertising columns of the Democrat, where you will always find the names of sonic of our best merchants and business inen. ( Emerson, Fisher &. Co., of Cincin nati, Carriage Manufacturers, have donated an open buggy to the Yonog America Fair through Mr. B. Frank Slater. Such commendable liberality is bound to receive its reward. Messrs Bull & Scoville have our thanks for a neat business calender [for the year 1881. These gentlemen represent tho Gcrmaina Insurance , Company which contributed ten del I lars to the Young America Fair. When a Yankee is struck by a thunderbolt and knocked endways clear across a ten-acre lot. the only regret he feels upon recovering con sciousness is the disheartening fact that he can't capture the bolt and ex hibit it for money. With 6omo degreo of pride* we mention the fact that Mr. Thomas M. Raysor, of our town, at the recent ex amination before the State Supreme Court, was admitted to the bar as a practicing attorney. Mr. Raysor is a graduate of Wofford College, a young man of fine address, popular manners, and o( unusual mental capacity, and wo predict for him a brilliant enrcet as a lawyer, even in Orangeburg, where he must compete with the best legal talent iu the Slate. Having been a student of law under the tui tion of lion Samuel Dibble for some time, be culms upon his profession witb a foundation well laid from which ho can, and will, build an hon orable reputation and a prosperous career. The field is largo nud invi ting for just such young men. Mit. Henry Koiin, Chairman of the Managing Committee of the Young America Fair, has secured from the authorities of the South Carolina Railroad tho following excursion rates for visitors to the Fair from the following points : Rrnncbville, $1.00 ; St. Matthews, 80 cents ; Fort Motte, Sl.23; and Kingsville, $1.55. Tick ets to Orangeburg from these stations must be bought on December 20th, 21st and 22d, at.d will be good for three days from dale of sale. Ex tensive preparations are being made to make the Fair a grand occasion and a suitable forerunner of the Christmas festivities. Numbers of persons from Ibis and adjoining coun ties will attend, and the above low rates will induce many on the line ol road to spend a few days in our city during the Firemen's Fair. Early Wednesday morning, Mr. Oliver Farnutn, of Caw Caw, found that a bale of bis cotton was missing, and, finding suspicious marks about the premises, at once began to trace them out. Pursuing the tracks close ly be followed them to town and upon inquiry found that his missing bale had been purchased by Mr. Cornel son from two negro hoys curly in the morning. Seeming the aid of Mr. Cannon, Chief of Police, the two thieves were overtaken and one arres ted?the other escaped to the swamp, j but afterwards came in, gave up the I money to Mr. Cornelson and surren dered himself. Roth are in jail. The political outrage mill of Messrs. Abail Lathrop and Gcrlnck continues to grind slowly. The fol lowing additional arrests have been made: Mr. Frank S. DeTreville, W. J. DeTreville, jr., Julian A. Sal ley, and Willio Hull, of our town. The ostensible cause is some fancied act of fraud based upon the testimony often of a disreputable negro, but the real, inner reason is to be found in u mean spirit of revenge against a suc cessful opposition, or a despicable desire to make money by any means, however low. There is no semblance of right or fair dealing in the whole proceeding. One of the novel and unique fea tures of the Firemen's Fair is the illustration of the embarrassments of Universal Sutfrugc, and of the tribu lations those may expect to undergo who venture to oppose the Woman's Rights movement now agitating the country. This will be exemplified in a drama of extensive proportions, in which a large number of visitors to the Fair are expected to participate. Further information will be furnished as soon as ascertained, but us the drama is copyrighted it is impossible, at present, to give any of the particu lars. Our readers, iu their search for Christmas dainties, should not fail to pay Van Tassel a visit, as his store is well stocked witb all the good things necossary to make up a good dinner. And then what would Christmas be without egg nog? There he has you again ! To make good egg nog it re quires good whisky ; and it is u well known fact that his liquors, wines and cordials are the purest and best 1 sold in the town. * I Time is Shout.?Prof. Van Ors dcll, photographer and artist, will leave Oraugeburg on the first of Jan uary. Call early and nyoid the tush. Don't put oir until the last week. lie has on band line mould ings for malting frames, also a fine assortment of frumcs for sale. Call early and gel as fine a photograph as can be taken in the State. 4* Dr. J. G. Wannamaker is pleased to inform his patrons that he has se cured a stock of "Pultnona," the cele brated Medicine for Cough's, Throat and Lung Trouble that has been working such wonderful cures in other sections. It is worth a trial. Price oO cts. Call and sec circular and certificates. a The following enigma was found pigeon-holed in lite Clerk's olllcc on Wednesday last. It was left there by the late encumbent: What docs it mean ? 20?I 3?40 00?2 L. O. The Grand Lodge of Masons of South Carolina ate in session iu Charleston. Gen. J. F. Izlar and Mr. J. S. Albcrgotli arc in attendance ns representatives of Shibboleth Lodge. t We understand that Mr. Julius] Glover has resigned tho office of Trial Justice. Orangeburg now is i w'thout this very necessary ollicer, | ! but wo hope those who have the ap- j pointing power will see to it that an cfllcient ollicer is commissioned at an early day. We have heard that a pretty little! young lady has recently engaged board at the house of our fellow-lown nian, W. 11. Thompson. We have not learned ?er name, and the boys need not call on her yet?as she iu only about ten days old. Long may she live. II. F. Melotyre, Collelon's Radical Senator and jail bird, was sneaking about our streets several days this week. The running of the outrage mill probably has something to do with his visit. Such characters should carry passports. Mr. A. F. H. Dukes, of Branchvitle desires his many customers to know thns he has on hand and for sale a large lot of Ceristsmas goods, such as vases, toys, candies, also a lot of Landrelh's garden seeds, ouion sets, &c. Give him a call. Kohtjoiin will sell the following goods cheap: Men and boys' hats, ladies' and gent's gloves, hose and half hose, corsets, dress goods, wool hoods, nubias, cashmeres and Youth's over-coals. They are just received and fresh. Ik any of our renders desire a first class Sewing Machine, possessing the best qualities and all the latest improvement, they should examine the American at Mr. J. C. Pike's store, for which he is the agent. Clerk of Court Robinson has dis covered the combination by which the office safe is locked, and is now in possession of seal, books, and every thing necessary for a proper discharge of the duties of his office. Wc regret to hear of the death of a little son, aged about one yenr, of Dr. Thomas Jones of the Fork, which occurred on Monday night last. Our warmest sympathies arc with the be reaved parents.
