B7 W. Thompson will deliver nn address before the Temperance Society next Monday night. A full attendance of the members is desir¬ ed. The Missionary Society of the Methodist Sunday School will hold its regular monthly meeting next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. Prof, Lawrence will address the So¬ ciety. We notice that some boys niako it a practice to annoy the postmaster while he is distributing the mail in the afternoon by hammering on the outside door of the postofflce. This is wrong, and it should be remedied. Pn a rpcent wedding occasion we heard a young bachelor, while carry¬ ing some sugar-plums around to the ladies, offer his kindness in a very questionable sentence, punctuated as he had it: "Will you take one, sugar¬ plum." . Wb learn that Messrs. D. E. Smoak & Co. have sold their store, next door to Mr. P. G. Cannon, to Messrs. Mo. Sistrunk & Griflin, who will continue a general mercantile business and will succeed if printers' ink: be judiciously used. Sam Ott, a colored carpenter, while engaged last Thursday in making some necessary repairs on Mr. J. C. Pike's dwelling, fell and we learn seriously injured himself. We learn since that he is doing well and will prpp&hly.be up in a few days. During our visit to Columbia we saw one of the biggest humbugs in ^he shape of an Indian doctor, who professed to cure all and kill none. Strange to say ho was doing a driv¬ ing business among tho fools who had more money than sense to spare. Our young friend, Mr. Julian A. Salley, showed us a rose that he plucked from his father's garden that measured sixteen inches in circum¬ ference. It was certainly the finest specimen of a rose we ever saw. It is known as the Paul Ncron variety. The Lutheran Sunday School pro¬ pose going on a picnic next Thurs¬ day. Wo wish the little ones and their friends a pleasant day and a merry trip. Wo arc glad to learn that this Sunday School is getting on finely under tho guidance of Rct. J. F. Kiser. We learn that a difficulty occurred on Bull Swamp, between Mr. Vincent Bates and somo negroes whom he Caught stealing corn. One negro was shot down which increased the violence of the mob, which made it necessary for Sheriff Livingston, with a posse, to go to the scene of action. Fullj particulars will bo given next weeki We, received the fallowing unique note from a subscriber one day last week i "Mr. Editor.Please have my paper transferred from St. Matthews' P. .O. to Summerville P.,0. for Rev. Mrs. C. S. R-. Please to inform my many friends and subscribers of you much, estccme Democrat of my sudden change of P. O. address." Boys, a word with you, if you please. When you go to church put your quid of tobacco out of your month, as it docs not add much to the appearance of tbe floor to have it all besmeared with tobaccco juice, and besides it in an ungentlemanly habit. We say this much to the boys, and hope that tho men will take the hint!too./ XttK Loafer's Club of our town has a largo membership, and the proba¬ bilities are that they will havo to "skin nround right stuart-V this year, the old field plums having been killed by the late frost. We were glad to meet Mr. J. S. Alborgotti at his usual place of busi¬ ness after a serious illness of two weeks. Usually a robust man, he looks thin, but has lost none of the vigor nüd energy which, ap peculiarly characterized him in the relations of life. The Columbia Register calls them members of the donkey club.those young sports who wear the high ear- cutters, and stand at the church doors on Sundays and gaze any lady out of countenance who goes in or out. We arc glad to seo that .but few members ofthat club reside in Orangeburg. A young man from Orangeburg, while on a visit to Columbia to wit¬ ness the unveiling of the Confederate monument, wishing to call on a young lady, and not being very well ac¬ quainted with the city hired a guide to pilot him to the desired locality. Wc think the young lady ought to appreciate that visit very highly. ' Tun Directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association have made arrangements for a Tourna¬ ment as a source of amusement for the visitors to the Floral Fair. Cap¬ tain N. N. Hayden, with some fifteen or sixteen Knights, dressed in app o- propriate costumes, will be on hand to take charge of this department, and our citizens ma}' expect a lively time. A full line of Dr. Price's Unique Perfumes, Colognes and Toilet Wa¬ ters. These Perfumes have gained their popularity from their exquisite sweetness and permanency of odor. Any lady or gentleman who will give them a trial, will be convinced that no Perfumes, made in this or any Oth er country, can compare with them. They arc only to be used to he ad¬ mired. For sale by Dr. J. G. Wan- namakcr. * We had the pleasure of meeting while in Columbia last Tuesday Col. T. Stobo Farrow, Clerk of tho Sen¬ ate and the accomplished editor of the Spartanburg Herald. Wc were pleased to sec him looking so well. We also met Mr. M. B. McSweency, the energetic proprietor of the Nine¬ ty-Six Guardian, which is one of the best weeklies in tho State. We also met Mr. Todd, of tho Anderson Journal, one of tho neatest papers in the State. We learn that more rock fish have been caught in the Edisto this year than ever before at tho same season, and of a larger size. They are be¬ coming common in the market, sell¬ ing at 10 cents per pound. At other points wc hear they sell at G and 7 cents. Why can they not be furnish¬ ed at the same reasonable rates in the Orangeburg market. Mr. R. L. Thompson, near Branchvillc, caught during last week, eleven "of these fishes, all of an average size. Tuere are now only two prisoners in jail, and tho probabilities arc that during the present session of Court these will bo turned out or sent to the penitentiary. During Radical rule wc were accustomed to a crowd of prisoners who made day and night hideous with their savage yells, and the quietness and order which has prevailed for the last three years und the present general jail delivery, are so many items to the credit of De¬ mocracy. TnE train that carried tho excur¬ sionists to Columbia on last Tuesday morning was jammed from end to end, affording scarcely comfortable standing room for thoso who had the misfortune to get aboard on the last fifty miles of the route. Two fect, however large, can scarcely hold up 180 pounds for three or four consecu¬ tive hours. The truth of this state¬ ment was understood by our kind fat friend, Mr. J. M. Danner, who gave us a big share of a little valise. Upon this wo rested and snoozed dreaming of the long, happy lifo wc desired all big men to live. The Aikcn Courier-Journal says: "Mr. B. F. Giintcr is having a wrought iron machine for taking like¬ nesses put up. Ho says if he can got an instrument marto which will take the editors of the Barnwell People and Aikcn Courier-Journal that he can promise to take the photo of any human being in existence." Very good. When tho machine gets in working order wc would liko to sec it tried on a newspaper man over hero. Wc would advico Mr. Gunter to como prepared to take back the fragments of his machine, however, should he conclude to try our subject. jMessiB, ,J. JO. l'ike, Gromblin, M. J. Koller ami P. V. Dibble, dele¬ gates to tho Methodist District Con¬ ference left for Williston on Thurs¬ day last. A burglar attempted to cutor the store of Mr. Geo. II. Cornelson early on Monday evening, but'was detect¬ ed and made his escape. There is an eye on tho fellow which will like¬ ly bring him to trial. We would oall tho attention of County Commissioner llaydcu to a couplo of holes in tho road about half-way between the lake and tho river bridges about tho bend of the road. Those holes arc getting to be ugly affairs and hard to avoid in the day much less at night. Olhorwiso tho way across tho river swamp is in good enough plight. Many farmcrs on Bull Swamp and elsewhere in tho county aro plough¬ ing up their first planting of cotton in consequenco of tho ravages of tho cut worm. One gentleman informed us that ho hud scon rows an acre long with not a till of cotton left standing. So groat and unusual has been the damage done by these worms that every effort i9 being made to destroy them. But so far without avail. Good Advice..Says tho Klmira Gazette: "No, don't learn a trade, young man. You might soil your hands, wilt your shirt collar, and spoil your complexion sweating. Go hang your chin over a counter ; learn to talk twaddle to the ladies; part your hair in the ^middle, and work for wages that wouldn't support a Chinese laundryraan on rice fed rats and leave a big enough balance to pay his washerwoman.just because it is a little more gcntccl in the eyes of the people whose prido prevents them from pounding rock or hewing wood, and whoso poverty pinches worst than one of those patent cross- legged clothes pins, if the truth was only told." On Thursday evening last the dwelling of Dr. W. W. Murray, n mile south of town, was entirely con¬ sumed by fire. The burning was purely accidental as there was no one on the promises except Mrs. Murray and the children, and but little fire in tho chimney. As soon as the alarm was given, tho Doctor, aided by a few colored persons, made every effort to extinguish the fire, but with no avail. The house was large and very old, therefore burned rapid¬ ly and was soon beyond tho control of those engaged in saving it. The furniture and other things on the first lloor were saved but in a moro or less damaged condition. Wc arc ,glad to learn that Dr. Murray was insured nud will be able to prove and receive damages to tho amount of 81/200 dollars, which will soon put him under shelter again. Last Saturday aud Sales-day were jolly days for friend Korljohn; in fact, all his days aro brisk and busy. His store is filled with goods and fill¬ ed with customers. It seems a pleas¬ ure for him to receive car loads of goods and deal them out to his cus¬ tomers at the smallest possible mar¬ gin. Then is it not folly not to pat¬ ronize him when he is willing to work at such close figures. But ho is well patronized and justly too, for without this auction and commission house, goods would be higher and many a mau suiler for actual necessities, and in the end fail to make ends meet. His good9 are lower than ever, and we would advise all in want to call on him at once and secure bargains. Wo only wish we had lots of money to invest, but fate orders otherwise. Why uro newspaper men so poor? Ah mc ! it was always so, ever since the fint editor, with frantic zeal, is¬ sued his extra, announcing the posi¬ tive departure of Noah's ark and wc suppose will over remain tho same. Wc can always find out tho cheap places and advise our friends of bar¬ gains, but our dollars arc like angel visits, few and far between. Wc would it wore otherwise, but will mako amends for our short coinings by the good advice wc give our friends. Friend Korljohn has the goods, there is no doubt of it, and will sell them at invoice prices, his shippers paying him 5 per cent for his trouble. If any doubt this asser¬ tion wc aro nblc to prove it. This House transacts business under the following rules, buy right, sell cheap, cash down, and they have tho nerve, brains and capital to carry out what they say. They have received a large lot of goods this week, and the cheap¬ est Crockery, Notions, Tinware, etc., ever in tho market. With unbounded coovgy to back them, and tho al¬ mighty dollar in the ono hand and the black Hag in tho othor, they in¬ tend to wage relentless war on the leaders of extortion and high prices. .C'onsideiuule excitement unistcx-, ist in tho upper poition of Ttiis coun¬ ty in icferonco to mod dogs, if the following bo correct, which is vouch¬ ed for by n gentleman of veracity: Dr. J. A. J. Hildcbrand having occa¬ sion to walk down in his field, where ho had n negro boy ploughing, had no sooner arrived in' speaking distanco than ho heard tho alarming cry of "mad dog." A gcutlci.iuii who was ploughing near betook him self to the nearest tree, and tho doc¬ tor unceremoniously left tup spot in quest of his gun. After Iis had se¬ cured and examined it, he returned to tho scene of his lato fright, and imagine his feelings as his largo dog camo running towards him. i Now tho Doctor had no idea of being bit¬ ten by mad dogs, and so ho shot eve¬ ry cur that eaino in sight, commenc¬ ing with his own, which was a very large, fine dog, and ono that tho Doc¬ tor prized highly. After the smoke of battle cleared uway five dead dogs and one dead sheep, partly eaten, were found. It appears that the dogs were not mad, but had became excit¬ ed over the sheep they had killed and was having a general light. Agricultural Sooiety. A rcgalar quarterly meeting of this society was hold on the lQth instant, in Sheridan's School room, Captain John L. Moorcr, vice-presi¬ dent, pesiding. Mr. S. R. Mclli- champ, having been requested by secretary Kirk Robinson to take his place, called the roll and read the minutes of last meeting, which, being correct, were confirmed by a vote of the Society. Mr. J. P. Hurley's name, having been proposed for membership and favorably considered by the executive committee, was ordered to be enroll¬ ed and Mr. llarley notified of the fact. Information was asked about ob¬ taining Jute seed. Mr. Riggs said he had obtained a small package from Dr. W. P. Barton for thirty cents, and planted them but they were not yet up. Dr. J. C. Holman had pro¬ cured a half pound package of au agent at a cost of 32, and wished to know if he had it to pay while others paid only thirty cents for the same quantity. oats and wheat. Messrs. G. L. Salley, Bennett and Baldwin reported tho cat crop of their neighborhood as good, wheat, little planted and inferior. Mr. Vosc 3aid the oat, crop of his section was a good average crop; Col. Paul S. Felder had a field of 35 acres, ma¬ nured with the ash clement and pea vines, which were very fiue. His own oats were not so promising as Col. Fcldcr's though manured in the samo way, at a cost of $10 ; but he believed the same amount of money would purchase the quantity of oats he will make. Mr. Mc. Salley said that Mi*. Vosc failed to realize his expectations from the fact that he had planted too much peas. If he had planted three-fourths of a bushel or even a bushel per acre, the yield would have been satiefneto- Mr. Robinson said that his wheat was free from rust except on spots where a slight tendency to rust might be detected. His wheat would aver¬ age well all over the field and was heading finely. A hat might bo thrown anywhere and would not fall to the ground. His neighbor, Col. Paul Felder, had a field of wheat that bad no rust, and, he thought, would yield 30 bushels per acre.- The vari¬ ety planted was known as the Rust Proof wheat. Dr. J. C. Holman said he had 3 1-2 acres manured with the ash ele¬ ment hut was able to see little or no improvement. In July last he plant¬ ed 1 1-2 bushels of pens, manured with r.sh clement and early in the fall turned under the vines and planted in oats. This field, he thought, would mnko GO bushels per acre.some of his neighbors were more sanguine and gave him 75 bushels as tho prob¬ able yield. Mr. Judo Robinson said his oats were very good. Previous to planting oats he had put in the pea for a manure, both cow and shinny pen, and could not "Tsce any difference between the oats where the two kind of peas had been planted. . Captain Ilnyden said the oat crop in his section was good, but very lit¬ tle wheat had been planted near him. Mr. Culler said oats were good but no wheat was planted. Mr. L. lt. Bcckwilh reported oats, manured with pea vines, as very line. The wheat promised well until recent¬ ly when rust appeared and now a man, walking through n field, would be covered with a dust liko iron rust. Mr. Bcckwilh exhibited a stalk of a new variety of wheat, known as Taos, which resembled rye very closely. Owing, doubtless, to tho peculiar character of tho weather prevailing for tho last two weeks, the heads fail- cd to conio well put and has remained in tbis,half developed condition for,a week. Mr. J. Stokes reported oats good through the neighborhood generally. Dr. Barton's oats wero scarcely as lino as last year. His whoat was so very poor that the Doctor had affirmed; that he was done with wheat. Bust abounds all over the Held and nssign- >\\ 11 reason for it. (Hero several members gave their opinions ns to the probable cause of rust. Cold night, hot sun, wet weather, dry weather, poverty, too jnüch: manure, rust an insect, &o., were given as causes. All of which called to mind the old adage, f'Doctors will differ." Editor.) Mr. Mo Salley had a fielt} planted in oats, upon which he had in the sum¬ mer planted peas. A portion of these pens were trampled by the cattle and other stock until time to sow tho oats ; ofT another portion he bad cut the vines and housed them ; and on the remainder the vines wero allowed to remain and were turned under with a two horse plough. The oats, planted on the first and third lots, were excel¬ lent and scarcely any difference could be detected ; but where tho pea vines wero cut, the oats were not so good, lie thought it would pay best to let the stock rim on tho peas and cat as many as they could, enough would remain to. make a fine crop of oats. Mr. Salley had a patch, half an aero, planted in barley and manured with 50 bushels of cotton seed which he considered the best crop ho ever planted. Everything feeds en it and does finely. This crop ought to be planted early in the fall. Captain Ilaydcn said, oats after cotton would not do well, at least such was his experience. Mr. Mc Salley thought cotton lands, well manured, would make good oats, but oats after corn would do better than after cotton. Mr. Kiggs said oats were doing well in his section and grew well for him after cotton. Mr. W. A. Hoffman said, oats in his section,above Lewisvillc, were not doing so well. lie said Capt. P. M. Wannnmakcr had made an excellent crop of oats off laud upon which he had planted 1 peck of peas per acre. better oats, he thought, than 15 bush¬ els of cotton seed would have made. This suggested the inquiry, whether planters did not plant too many pens to the acre. Mr. W. A. Mackay thought 2 bush¬ els of peas per acre too much, one- half or three-quarter bushels were enough to sow oats broad-cast. Mr. J. J. Salley said he had put oats in a picce'of land upon which he had planted peas with the ash ele¬ ment. The peas did not come up well but a luxuriant crop of crab grass grew in its place and this land promises an excellent crop of oats. Half a bushel of peas tö the acre will make 1G bushels of oats per acre. The wheat crop was good in his sec¬ tion with littie or no rust apparent* Tho variety planted by him was call¬ ed the Alabama wheat. Dr. Dantzlcr reported tho wheat crops with him as good, especially that manured with cotton seed. Mr. J. J. Salley gave an experi¬ ment which proved to his mind that the grain of the pea was good ma¬ nure for oats. Capt. J. L. Moorer reported the oat crop of his neighborhood very fine, also wheat, with some farmers, was good, ltust had made its ap¬ pearance in the wheat which, he thought, was due more to the hot sun than cool nights. In hi3 oat field there wero scattered a gopd many straws of rye, everyone of -which had tho rust while the oats were free. Ash element with him failed to give the satisfaction on onls it had done to others. His crop was due more to cotton seed tha'n tho element. His experience taught him that corn would grow nnd yield well after cot¬ ton while oats would not. COHN AND COTTON. Dr. Wolfe, Messrs. D. Fersner nnd J. J. Satley reported good stands of cotton and corn in their neighbor¬ hoods. Mr. G. L. Ralloy said hail had done considerable damage to early cotton. Mr. Vose said the stand of cotton in St. Matthews was generally bad and in many cases tho crop had to be planted over. MEAT FROM CIIUFAS. Mr. Mc. Salley desired to know if the experience of tho members agreed with his with regard to meat made from chufns. His meat lias been dripping for some limo and drips badly now. His lard had melted so as it could only be dipped up with a cup for use. Tho meat, however, was good and sweet. His hogs were young and fed only a few days on corn. Mr. \V. A. Mnckay said his meat was lirm and his lard as solid aa he had ever mndo with corn, Capt. Moorcr thought tho ago of Mr. Sal Icy':; hogs had moru to do with tho moat dripping than tho chu- fa. Young hoge wouJd paturally bo effected b}' heat in that way, Mr. Jnincs Stokes agreed with Mr. Sallcy and said that his hogs were old and still tho meat dripped and lard melted. Ho thought tho meat loo was effected by tho chufu, and did not tnsto so well as that made from corn. Messrs. Mo. Salley and Maekoy.'s experierco agreed in that cotton planted after tho chufa will do well but not oats. sorghum. Mr. Mackay said that Mr. Cornol- oon would pay the farmer 80 or 40 cents per gallon for good syrup while the grain wonld pay the expenses of of cultivation. IJp thought the crop did not interfere with cotton materi¬ ally. Ho had already planted 10! acres and intended to plant 10 more. The debris about tho mill was an ex¬ cellent manure.ho put it in his sta¬ bles and lot and others of his neigh¬ bors did the same thing and found it a good manure for any crop and over¬ balanced the exhaustive nature of I the sorghum crop. Mr. J. J. Salle.y said an aero of | land that would produce 1,000 lbs. cotton would yield 100 gallons of syrup. His experience led him to believe the crop was not an exhaust¬ er of tho land to that extent people believed. Cotton grew just as well after sorghum as any other crop. The grain will not injure by lying on the ground in dry weather. It ought to be dried before housing. Was good food for all kinds of stock, es¬ pecially hogs. Ho thouglit Air. Cor- nelson, in his new cntcrpriso was helping tho farmer and the farmer ought to support him. A mill and pans, bethought, would cost about 8100. At this point the meeting adjourn¬ ed for dinner which was prepared up stairs. Every member felt it his privilege to address himself to the loaded tables and was no way back¬ ward. Tho editor was not neglected and felt encouraged by tho many remarks made upon tho Democrat for which we arc thankful. The mis¬ sion of our paper is in a largo meas¬ ure to support and advance the inter¬ est of the farmer, and if worthy we will be supported. Market Report« Corrected Weekly by J. C. Pike, cotton.

Orangerurg, S. C, May 1G, 187i>.
The night services in the LutheranPhurch has been discontinued, and an.afternoon service instituted instead.Mn. B7 W. Thompson will deliver
nn address before the TemperanceSociety next Monday night. A fullattendance of the members is desir¬ed.
The Missionary Society of theMethodist Sunday School will holdits regular monthly meeting nextSunday afternoon at four o'clock.Prof, Lawrence will address the So¬ciety.We notice that some boys niako it
a practice to annoy the postmasterwhile he is distributing the mail inthe afternoon by hammering on theoutside door of the postofflce. Thisis wrong, and it should be remedied.
Pn a rpcent wedding occasion we
heard a young bachelor, while carry¬ing some sugar-plums around to theladies, offer his kindness in a veryquestionable sentence, punctuated as
he had it: "Will you take one, sugar¬plum." .
Wb learn that Messrs. D. E.Smoak & Co. have sold their store,next door to Mr. P. G. Cannon, toMessrs. Mo. Sistrunk & Griflin, whowill continue a general mercantilebusiness and will succeed if printers'ink: be judiciously used.
Sam Ott, a colored carpenter, whileengaged last Thursday in makingsome necessary repairs on Mr. J. C.Pike's dwelling, fell and we learnseriously injured himself. We learnsince that he is doing well and will
prpp&hly.be up in a few days.During our visit to Columbia we
saw one of the biggest humbugs in
^he shape of an Indian doctor, who
professed to cure all and kill none.
Strange to say ho was doing a driv¬ing business among tho fools who hadmore money than sense to spare.
Our young friend, Mr. Julian A.Salley, showed us a rose that heplucked from his father's garden thatmeasured sixteen inches in circum¬ference. It was certainly the finestspecimen of a rose we ever saw. Itis known as the Paul Ncron variety.The Lutheran Sunday School pro¬
pose going on a picnic next Thurs¬day. Wo wish the little ones andtheir friends a pleasant day and a
merry trip. Wo arc glad to learnthat this Sunday School is getting on
finely under tho guidance of Rct. J.F. Kiser.
We learn that a difficulty occurredon Bull Swamp, between Mr. VincentBates and somo negroes whom heCaught stealing corn. One negrowas shot down which increased theviolence of the mob, which made itnecessary for Sheriff Livingston, witha posse, to go to the scene of action.
Fullj particulars will bo given nextweeki
We, received the fallowing uniquenote from a subscriber one day lastweek i "Mr. Editor.Please have mypaper transferred from St. Matthews'P. .O. to Summerville P.,0. for Rev.Mrs. C. S. R-. Please to informmy many friends and subscribers ofyou much, estccme Democrat of mysudden change of P. O. address."
Boys, a word with you, if youplease. When you go to church putyour quid of tobacco out of yourmonth, as it docs not add much tothe appearance of tbe floor to have itall besmeared with tobaccco juice,and besides it in an ungentlemanlyhabit. We say this much to the boys,and hope that tho men will takethe hint!too./
XttK Loafer's Club of our town hasa largo membership, and the proba¬bilities are that they will havo to"skin nround right stuart-V this year,the old field plums having been killedby the late frost.
We were glad to meet Mr. J. S.Alborgotti at his usual place of busi¬ness after a serious illness of twoweeks. Usually a robust man, helooks thin, but has lost none of thevigor nüd energy which, ap peculiarlycharacterized him in the relations oflife.
The Columbia Register calls themmembers of the donkey club.thoseyoung sports who wear the high ear-
cutters, and stand at the church doorson Sundays and gaze any lady out ofcountenance who goes in or out. Wearc glad to seo that .but few membersofthat club reside in Orangeburg.A young man from Orangeburg,
while on a visit to Columbia to wit¬ness the unveiling of the Confederatemonument, wishing to call on a younglady, and not being very well ac¬
quainted with the city hired a guideto pilot him to the desired locality.Wc think the young lady ought toappreciate that visit very highly.' Tun Directors of the Agriculturaland Mechanical Association havemade arrangements for a Tourna¬ment as a source of amusement forthe visitors to the Floral Fair. Cap¬tain N. N. Hayden, with some fifteenor sixteen Knights, dressed in app o-
propriate costumes, will be on handto take charge of this department,and our citizens ma}' expect a livelytime.
A full line of Dr. Price's UniquePerfumes, Colognes and Toilet Wa¬ters. These Perfumes have gainedtheir popularity from their exquisitesweetness and permanency of odor.Any lady or gentleman who will givethem a trial, will be convinced thatno Perfumes, made in this or any Other country, can compare with them.They arc only to be used to he ad¬mired. For sale by Dr. J. G. Wan-namakcr. *
We had the pleasure of meetingwhile in Columbia last Tuesday Col.T. Stobo Farrow, Clerk of tho Sen¬ate and the accomplished editor ofthe Spartanburg Herald. Wc werepleased to sec him looking so well.We also met Mr. M. B. McSweency,the energetic proprietor of the Nine¬ty-Six Guardian, which is one of thebest weeklies in tho State. We alsomet Mr. Todd, of tho AndersonJournal, one of tho neatest papers inthe State.
We learn that more rock fish havebeen caught in the Edisto this yearthan ever before at tho same season,and of a larger size. They are be¬coming common in the market, sell¬ing at 10 cents per pound. At otherpoints wc hear they sell at G and 7cents. Why can they not be furnish¬ed at the same reasonable rates inthe Orangeburg market. Mr. R. L.Thompson, near Branchvillc, caughtduring last week, eleven "of thesefishes, all of an average size.
Tuere are now only two prisonersin jail, and tho probabilities arc thatduring the present session of Courtthese will bo turned out or sent tothe penitentiary. During Radicalrule wc were accustomed to a crowdof prisoners who made day and nighthideous with their savage yells, andthe quietness and order which hasprevailed for the last three years undthe present general jail delivery, areso many items to the credit of De¬mocracy.
TnE train that carried tho excur¬sionists to Columbia on last Tuesdaymorning was jammed from end toend, affording scarcely comfortablestanding room for thoso who had themisfortune to get aboard on the lastfifty miles of the route. Two fect,however large, can scarcely hold up180 pounds for three or four consecu¬tive hours. The truth of this state¬ment was understood by our kind fatfriend, Mr. J. M. Danner, who gaveus a big share of a little valise.Upon this wo rested and snoozeddreaming of the long, happy lifo wcdesired all big men to live.
The Aikcn Courier-Journal says:"Mr. B. F. Giintcr is having a
wrought iron machine for taking like¬nesses put up. Ho says if he can gotan instrument marto which will takethe editors of the Barnwell Peopleand Aikcn Courier-Journal that hecan promise to take the photo of anyhuman being in existence." Verygood. When tho machine gets inworking order wc would liko to sec ittried on a newspaper man over hero.Wc would advico Mr. Gunter to como
prepared to take back the fragmentsof his machine, however, should heconclude to try our subject.
jMessiB, ,J. JO. l'ike, Gromblin,M. J. Koller ami P. V. Dibble, dele¬gates to tho Methodist District Con¬ference left for Williston on Thurs¬day last.
A burglar attempted to cutor thestore of Mr. Geo. II. Cornelson earlyon Monday evening, but'was detect¬ed and made his escape. There isan eye on tho fellow which will like¬ly bring him to trial.
We would oall tho attention ofCounty Commissioner llaydcu to a
couplo of holes in tho road abouthalf-way between the lake and thoriver bridges about tho bend of theroad. Those holes arc getting to beugly affairs and hard to avoid in theday much less at night. Olhorwisotho way across tho river swamp is ingood enough plight.Many farmcrs on Bull Swamp and
elsewhere in tho county aro plough¬ing up their first planting of cottonin consequenco of tho ravages of thocut worm. One gentleman informedus that ho hud scon rows an acre
long with not a till of cotton leftstanding. So groat and unusual hasbeen the damage done by theseworms that every effort i9 beingmade to destroy them. But so farwithout avail.
Good Advice..Says tho KlmiraGazette: "No, don't learn a trade,young man. You might soil yourhands, wilt your shirt collar, andspoil your complexion sweating. Gohang your chin over a counter ; learnto talk twaddle to the ladies; partyour hair in the ^middle, and workfor wages that wouldn't support aChinese laundryraan on rice fed ratsand leave a big enough balance topay his washerwoman.just becauseit is a little more gcntccl in the eyesof the people whose prido preventsthem from pounding rock or hewingwood, and whoso poverty pinchesworst than one of those patent cross-legged clothes pins, if the truth was
only told."
On Thursday evening last thedwelling of Dr. W. W. Murray, nmile south of town, was entirely con¬sumed by fire. The burning was
purely accidental as there was noone on the promises except Mrs.Murray and the children, and butlittle fire in tho chimney. As soonas the alarm was given, tho Doctor,aided by a few colored persons, madeevery effort to extinguish the fire, butwith no avail. The house was largeand very old, therefore burned rapid¬ly and was soon beyond tho controlof those engaged in saving it. Thefurniture and other things on thefirst lloor were saved but in a moroor less damaged condition. Wc arc
,glad to learn that Dr. Murray wasinsured nud will be able to proveand receive damages to tho amountof 81/200 dollars, which will soon puthim under shelter again.Last Saturday aud Sales-day were
jolly days for friend Korljohn; infact, all his days aro brisk and busy.His store is filled with goods and fill¬ed with customers. It seems a pleas¬ure for him to receive car loads ofgoods and deal them out to his cus¬tomers at the smallest possible mar¬
gin. Then is it not folly not to pat¬ronize him when he is willing to workat such close figures. But ho is wellpatronized and justly too, for withoutthis auction and commission house,goods would be higher and many a
mau suiler for actual necessities, andin the end fail to make ends meet. Hisgood9 are lower than ever, and wewould advise all in want to call onhim at once and secure bargains.Wo only wish we had lots of moneyto invest, but fate orders otherwise.Why uro newspaper men so poor?Ah mc ! it was always so, ever sincethe fint editor, with frantic zeal, is¬sued his extra, announcing the posi¬tive departure of Noah's ark and wc
suppose will over remain tho same.Wc can always find out tho cheapplaces and advise our friends of bar¬gains, but our dollars arc like angelvisits, few and far between. Wcwould it wore otherwise, but willmako amends for our short coiningsby the good advice wc give ourfriends. Friend Korljohn has thegoods, there is no doubt of it, andwill sell them at invoice prices, hisshippers paying him 5 per cent forhis trouble. If any doubt this asser¬tion wc aro nblc to prove it. ThisHouse transacts business under thefollowing rules, buy right, sell cheap,cash down, and they have tho nerve,brains and capital to carry out whatthey say. They have received a largelot of goods this week, and the cheap¬est Crockery, Notions, Tinware, etc.,ever in tho market. With unboundedcoovgy to back them, and tho al¬mighty dollar in the ono hand andthe black Hag in tho othor, they in¬tend to wage relentless war on theleaders of extortion and high prices.
.C'onsideiuule excitement unistcx-,ist in tho upper poition of Ttiis coun¬
ty in icferonco to mod dogs, if thefollowing bo correct, which is vouch¬ed for by n gentleman of veracity:Dr. J. A. J. Hildcbrand having occa¬sion to walk down in his field, whereho had n negro boy ploughing,had no sooner arrived in' speakingdistanco than ho heard tho alarmingcry of "mad dog." A gcutlci.iuiiwho was ploughing near betook himself to the nearest tree, and tho doc¬tor unceremoniously left tup spot inquest of his gun. After Iis had se¬cured and examined it, he returnedto tho scene of his lato fright, andimagine his feelings as his largo dogcamo running towards him. i Nowtho Doctor had no idea of being bit¬ten by mad dogs, and so ho shot eve¬
ry cur that eaino in sight, commenc¬ing with his own, which was a verylarge, fine dog, and ono that tho Doc¬tor prized highly. After the smokeof battle cleared uway five dead dogsand one dead sheep, partly eaten,were found. It appears that the dogswere not mad, but had became excit¬ed over the sheep they had killed andwas having a general light.
Agricultural Sooiety.A rcgalar quarterly meeting of
this society was hold on the lQthinstant, in Sheridan's School room,Captain John L. Moorcr, vice-presi¬dent, pesiding. Mr. S. R. Mclli-champ, having been requested bysecretary Kirk Robinson to take hisplace, called the roll and read theminutes of last meeting, which, beingcorrect, were confirmed by a vote ofthe Society.Mr. J. P. Hurley's name, having
been proposed for membership andfavorably considered by the executivecommittee, was ordered to be enroll¬ed and Mr. llarley notified of thefact.
Information was asked about ob¬taining Jute seed. Mr. Riggs saidhe had obtained a small package fromDr. W. P. Barton for thirty cents,and planted them but they were notyet up. Dr. J. C. Holman had pro¬cured a half pound package of au
agent at a cost of 32, and wished toknow if he had it to pay while otherspaid only thirty cents for the same
quantity.oats and wheat.
Messrs. G. L. Salley, Bennett andBaldwin reported tho cat crop oftheir neighborhood as good, wheat,little planted and inferior. Mr. Vosc3aid the oat, crop of his section was a
good average crop; Col. Paul S.Felder had a field of 35 acres, ma¬nured with the ash clement and peavines, which were very fiue. Hisown oats were not so promising as
Col. Fcldcr's though manured in thesamo way, at a cost of $10 ; but hebelieved the same amount of moneywould purchase the quantity of oatshe will make.Mr. Mc. Salley said that Mi*. Vosc
failed to realize his expectations fromthe fact that he had planted too muchpeas. If he had planted three-fourthsof a bushel or even a bushel per acre,the yield would have been satiefneto-
Mr. Robinson said that his wheatwas free from rust except on spotswhere a slight tendency to rust mightbe detected. His wheat would aver¬
age well all over the field and was
heading finely. A hat might bothrown anywhere and would not fallto the ground. His neighbor, Col.Paul Felder, had a field of wheat thatbad no rust, and, he thought, wouldyield 30 bushels per acre.- The vari¬ety planted was known as the RustProof wheat.
Dr. J. C. Holman said he had3 1-2 acres manured with the ash ele¬ment hut was able to see little or no
improvement. In July last he plant¬ed 1 1-2 bushels of pens, manuredwith r.sh clement and early in the fallturned under the vines and plantedin oats. This field, he thought, wouldmnko GO bushels per acre.some ofhis neighbors were more sanguineand gave him 75 bushels as tho prob¬able yield. Mr. Judo Robinson saidhis oats were very good. Previousto planting oats he had put in the peafor a manure, both cow and shinnypen, and could not "Tsce any differencebetween the oats where the two kindof peas had been planted.. Captain Ilnyden said the oat cropin his section was good, but very lit¬tle wheat had been planted near him.Mr. Culler said oats were good but
no wheat was planted.Mr. L. lt. Bcckwilh reported oats,
manured with pea vines, as very line.The wheat promised well until recent¬ly when rust appeared and now a
man, walking through n field, wouldbe covered with a dust liko iron rust.Mr. Bcckwilh exhibited a stalk of a
new variety of wheat, known as Taos,which resembled rye very closely.Owing, doubtless, to tho peculiarcharacter of tho weather prevailingfor tho last two weeks, the heads fail-
cd to conio well put and has remainedin tbis,half developed condition for,aweek.Mr. J. Stokes reported oats good
through the neighborhood generally.Dr. Barton's oats wero scarcely aslino as last year. His whoat was so
very poor that the Doctor had affirmed;that he was done with wheat. Bustabounds all over the Held and nssign->\\ 11 reason for it. (Hero severalmembers gave their opinions ns to theprobable cause of rust. Cold night,hot sun, wet weather, dry weather,poverty, too jnüch: manure, rust an
insect, &o., were given as causes.All of which called to mind the oldadage, f'Doctors will differ." Editor.)Mr. Mo Salley had a fielt} planted
in oats, upon which he had in the sum¬mer planted peas. A portion of thesepens were trampled by the cattle andother stock until time to sow thooats ; ofT another portion he bad cutthe vines and housed them ; and onthe remainder the vines wero allowedto remain and were turned under witha two horse plough. The oats, plantedon the first and third lots, were excel¬lent and scarcely any difference couldbe detected ; but where tho pea vineswero cut, the oats were not so good,lie thought it would pay best to letthe stock rim on tho peas and cat as
many as they could, enough wouldremain to. make a fine crop of oats.Mr. Salley had a patch, half an aero,planted in barley and manured with50 bushels of cotton seed which heconsidered the best crop ho ever
planted. Everything feeds en it anddoes finely. This crop ought to beplanted early in the fall.
Captain Ilaydcn said, oats aftercotton would not do well, at leastsuch was his experience.
Mr. Mc Salley thought cottonlands, well manured, would makegood oats, but oats after corn woulddo better than after cotton.
Mr. Kiggs said oats were doingwell in his section and grew well forhim after cotton.Mr. W. A. Hoffman said, oats in
his section,above Lewisvillc, were notdoing so well. lie said Capt. P. M.Wannnmakcr had made an excellentcrop of oats off laud upon which hehad planted 1 peck of peas per acre.better oats, he thought, than 15 bush¬els of cotton seed would have made.This suggested the inquiry, whetherplanters did not plant too many pensto the acre.
Mr. W. A. Mackay thought 2 bush¬els of peas per acre too much, one-half or three-quarter bushels were
enough to sow oats broad-cast.Mr. J. J. Salley said he had put
oats in a picce'of land upon which hehad planted peas with the ash ele¬ment. The peas did not come upwell but a luxuriant crop of crabgrass grew in its place and this landpromises an excellent crop of oats.Half a bushel of peas tö the acre willmake 1G bushels of oats per acre.The wheat crop was good in his sec¬tion with littie or no rust apparent*Tho variety planted by him was call¬ed the Alabama wheat.
Dr. Dantzlcr reported tho wheatcrops with him as good, especiallythat manured with cotton seed.Mr. J. J. Salley gave an experi¬
ment which proved to his mind thatthe grain of the pea was good ma¬nure for oats.
Capt. J. L. Moorer reported theoat crop of his neighborhood veryfine, also wheat, with some farmers,was good, ltust had made its ap¬pearance in the wheat which, hethought, was due more to the hot sunthan cool nights. In hi3 oat fieldthere wero scattered a gopd manystraws of rye, everyone of -which hadtho rust while the oats were free.Ash element with him failed to givethe satisfaction on onls it had doneto others. His crop was due more tocotton seed tha'n tho element. Hisexperience taught him that cornwould grow nnd yield well after cot¬ton while oats would not.
COHN AND COTTON.Dr. Wolfe, Messrs. D. Fersner nnd
J. J. Satley reported good stands ofcotton and corn in their neighbor¬hoods.
Mr. G. L. Ralloy said hail haddone considerable damage to earlycotton.
Mr. Vose said the stand of cottonin St. Matthews was generally badand in many cases tho crop had to beplanted over.
MEAT FROM CIIUFAS.Mr. Mc. Salley desired to know if
the experience of tho members agreedwith his with regard to meat madefrom chufns. His meat lias beendripping for some limo and dripsbadly now. His lard had melted soas it could only be dipped up with a
cup for use. Tho meat, however, was
good and sweet. His hogs were
young and fed only a few days oncorn.
Mr. \V. A. Mnckay said his meatwas lirm and his lard as solid aa hehad ever mndo with corn,
Capt. Moorcr thought tho ago ofMr. Sal Icy':; hogs had moru to dowith tho moat dripping than tho chu-fa. Young hoge wouJd paturally boeffected b}' heat in that way,
Mr. Jnincs Stokes agreed with Mr.Sallcy and said that his hogs wereold and still tho meat dripped andlard melted. Ho thought tho meatloo was effected by tho chufu, anddid not tnsto so well as that madefrom corn.
Messrs. Mo. Salley and Maekoy.'sexperierco agreed in that cottonplanted after tho chufa will do wellbut not oats.
sorghum.Mr. Mackay said that Mr. Cornol-
oon would pay the farmer 80 or 40cents per gallon for good syrup whilethe grain wonld pay the expenses ofof cultivation. IJp thought the cropdid not interfere with cotton materi¬ally. Ho had already planted 10!acres and intended to plant 10 more.The debris about tho mill was an ex¬cellent manure.ho put it in his sta¬bles and lot and others of his neigh¬bors did the same thing and found ita good manure for any crop and over¬balanced the exhaustive nature of Ithe sorghum crop.
Mr. J. J. Salle.y said an aero of |land that would produce 1,000 lbs.cotton would yield 100 gallons ofsyrup. His experience led him tobelieve the crop was not an exhaust¬er of tho land to that extent peoplebelieved. Cotton grew just as wellafter sorghum as any other crop.The grain will not injure by lying onthe ground in dry weather. It oughtto be dried before housing. Wasgood food for all kinds of stock, es¬
pecially hogs. Ho thouglit Air. Cor-nelson, in his new cntcrpriso was
helping tho farmer and the farmerought to support him. A mill andpans, bethought, would cost about8100.At this point the meeting adjourn¬
ed for dinner which was prepared upstairs. Every member felt it hisprivilege to address himself to theloaded tables and was no way back¬ward. Tho editor was not neglectedand felt encouraged by tho manyremarks made upon tho Democratfor which we arc thankful. The mis¬sion of our paper is in a largo meas¬ure to support and advance the inter¬est of the farmer, and if worthy wewill be supported.
