DEATH OF HON. j. L. ORR.

The subject of this melancholy notice
died on the 9Th, at ST. Petersburg, Rus
sia, where he had been sent to represent
the United States Government The de-
cided abilities of this prominent leader,
whether as the champion of Southern
rights, or the supporter of n Northern
tyranny, are too familiar for rehearsal
here. His career is closed and over
the acts of his life, we cast the veil with

FOR THE TIMES
HO! FOR ENTERPRISE,

We know Of no town more gifted by
nature or more calculated to repay the
rambler in his search after pleasant views
and quiet spots wherein to ruminatc than
our village, and future city, Orangcburg.
In every direction upon the outskirts
of our town, natures solitude il relieved
by enterprise, both of natives and immi-
grants, and new buildings meet the eye
on every hand. Some arc dwellings and
some are factories, some for comfort and
some for money making, some for enjoy
ment and some for employment.
We like to write of these pleasant
things and like to read of there being
elsewhere. To write of them is n task
afiording the most pleasure, as their pre-
sencc amongst us shows that there is in
our midst both ability and willingness to
afford patronage and encouragement to
domestic, rs well as attract foreign enter
prise.
Among these busy spots that lie near
MT hand, none can interest one more fully
than the Shingle Factory of Messrs. AL
drich g. Co. An undertaking of recent
birth, possessed of all the clements re-
auisite for permanent success.
The location will repay the rambler,
from its picturesque position on the bank
of the river, while the piles of cypress
blocks, the busy breath of the steam,
the strokes of saw, and whirring of the
wheels, together with the mcthodcal
movements of Gitcn or twenty hands en-
ployed in the works, afford plenty of
thought to feed his mind, and mako him
wonder how in so small space and time
such quantity of labor can be accom-
plished, and in such unique styles.
The Engine is of twenty-five horse
power. 1t runs two saws and planning
machine, and turns out 10000 shingles
per day of ten working hours
These shingles are never allowed to
exceed five inches in width, which pre-
vents warping or splitting. They arc
sawedeof. Black cypress, the best material
in the world for the purpose, and which
elsewhere can only be got at in ponds on
the highland. Here it can be obtained
in the river swamp at spring tides; and

|it became necessary for the knights Of
Eutaw, Orange, Star and Garter, and
Long Branch to ride over, each having
taken 4 rings. The tie to be decided by
single ride. The Knight of the Star

who made the three rides in 16 seconds
A SPECIAL PRIZE,
Offered by the Herald, Capt. Jcffords,
for single dash, was won by the Knight
of Orange, taking 8 rings. Time five
seconds.
This completed the riding, when the
yKnights were assembled before the
Judgc's stand, 70 receive the rewards,
they had so gallantly now.
Our space will not not permit us TO
more than notice the speeches made upon
the presentation of each prize. We will
be pardoned however for saying, that
to our taste the address of the late Editor
of the TIMES was THE speech of the day.
The first prize, beautiful silver cup
was presented by Mr.. Mortimer Glover.
The second by Capt. Jas. f. Izlar the
third by Mr.. Jas. S. Hayward; the fourth
by Mr.. u. L. Jamison the fifth by
Capt. j. A. Hamilton, and the sixth and
seventh by Mr.. Jas. II. Fowles.
The Queen of Love and Beauty, Miss.
Sallie Stokes, and the first Maid of Hon
or, Miss Parler, were then escorted upon
the Judges stand, and three rousing
cheers given in their honor. A charac-
teristic little speech from the Right OF
Perseverance, who had escorted the
"Maid of Honor" was heartily enjoyed
by all.
In response to three cheers for the
Press of Orangeburg, Mr.. Browning OF
the "News," made happy and appro
pirate speech.
Thus ended the festivities of the morn
ing, which were heartily enjoyed, not
withstanding heavy shower of rain fell
during the performance.

THE INDIAN POLICY.

The hue and cry is determination, for
what; Is it that the life Of the unfortu-
nate Gen. Candy is worth morethan the
entire race of Modocs, men, women and
children. so; what has made the ex-
istence of the Indian so contemplate, and
the value of u solitary white man SO ap-
preciated. Gen. Sherman face to face
with red Jack, unless backed by the
steel wall which has always made him as
bold rs he has been cruel, may have set
his teeth fast, ere he had dared to speak
the death knell Of the Indian race. If
prudence would have suggested this
much for his personal safety, should not
mercy have tempered his ire of justice.
The act Of the Indian Chief was base and
treacherons, but review the BASE and
TREAcHERots, policy of the government
which was represented in Gen. Candy,
and say if the uncivilized American saw
aught to admire, in the tinselled type of
the civilized American. The worm
will sting the foot that presses it, and
red Jack counting the cost, made the
fearful issue. Back, back, before the
steady tramp Of "Westward ho" he fell,
no hunting grounds for his living, no
resting place for his dead. Enlighten-
ment to him was administered through
the rum bottle; civilization taught him
that from behind crevice of the rock,
he could hurl bullet to the brain of his
betrayer. His bounty was doled out in
beads and poisoned whiskey, his soul wns
preached to on one side by the missiona-
ry revealing an accountability, and on
the other by q cunning trader VINO made
the wild Indian, wilder devil. Per.
picked, deceived, and maddened, he was
not won over, but sank deeper and deep
er under the influence of the tricky white
man, and hurling the lie of defiance to
his teeth, his wild heroism was aroused,
and he slew both the innocent and the
guilty. Better had the government
measured a modicum of its Southern
policy to the Indian, I. E. counting the
inferior its PRoTEGE,. then it might
have been spared the disgrace of Sher-
mans vindictive howl, and at least have
been consistent in its former dealings
with its subjects. Here the rnle is in
hands and hearts blacker than the In
dams. There for party sake cruelty will
be practised. Treat the Indian as man
and his savage breast will respond n
kindly throb. Rob him, and degrade
him by putting his scanty subsistence in
the hands Of cormorant rumselling agents
and you teach him that neither his, or
the life of such tools of the government
is worth the sparing.

THE ROAD TO PERDIlTON.

Is paved with good resolutions, and
South Carolina financially reviewed, is
boltlng toward that goal at railroad
speed. The radical defense in covering
its shame said, the white people of the
State were willfully blind to the light of
reason, and deaf fto the argument of stub
born facts, evolved from an irresistible
force of progressive Liberty. Precon-
viewed notions, and wounded pride were
contesting against enlarged views, which
sooner or later would overwhelm all OPP
position, and convert the fiercest enemies
to a friendly recognition. Such sophis-
try pleased the ear of the world, and the
new departure was hailed MS the political
martyr. A very brief review will bring
us to the conclusion, Gf any are mad
enough to defend the policy Of the ene-
mics of honesty and peace) that the rot
tenest hulk, with the most drunken pilot:
is as much entitled to confidence, rs is
this dynasty of perjurcd, faithlcss and
soulless government lis promises are as
voluminous, as its villainies are glaring.
The first breach Of faith began with the
birth Of the party in the State. Thanks
be TO God, the conception was elsewhere !;
Pestilence when brought upon some un-
toward wind is dread, but when the at
mosphere is purged, the cause for danger
is removed. This is our only hope, that
this distinct, peculiar, and wholly segre-
gated plague may die out for WANT of
food (money). Stop that supply, and
the scourgc vanishes. A desire "to re-
deem the honor Of the State, and educate
her citizens" induced these philanthro-
pists to rate an assessment, and afterward
increase it three fold, after n plan of
stealage called Equalization" The tax
was paid, and Mantalini picked up the
gold and silver, and the deficiency went
into the Sinking fund" Military bills
to show up the many hucd "hcro of Fort
Sumter" were created, and the appropri-
alton for these, went in the wake of the
prccedcnts. Land purchasing bureaus"
robbed the State of hundreds Of thousands
and medel autocrats of bcggars. The
legislature was an auction house, where
every bill had its figures. State bonds
were surreptitiously sold by the officers of
The State at one half their face valuation
to raise money for themselves. In n
word, South Carolina, its property and
all (except its sons who were neither to
be bought nor hoodwinked was tossed

who look with pride upon the past
achievements of their glorious Statel The
first of1May was indeed gala day, long
to be remembered, and the holiday was
heartily enjoyed by. the hundreds who
assembled to do honor to the gallant
knights. The threatening state of the
weather, ever, could not cast damper
upon the spirits of those who had deter

looking upon the brilliant array of fair

Z Fas ting and PRAYER.

To-day has been set apart by our
Mayor as a day of fasting, humilia-
ton and prayer. This is very APP
propriate, for towns and communi-
ties all around us have been and are
now being terribly scourged by chol-
era and although no better than they,
so far, we have been spared. Then,
let every one suspend their worldly
business for to-day and with thank
full hearts to God, for past mercy
ask Him. in humility, to still shield
u.s. There is another idea which
strikes us: God always works by
means, and helps and blessese those
who are willing to help themselves.
Then, we say, go to work and cleanse
our town thoroughly, then ask God
to bless your efforts and we think we
have little need toafear. Don't ask
Him to get you out of trouble
from which, through Incidence, care
lessness, or stinginess, you refuse, to
help yourselves. aHrg1f NJ y ~
