Editors Orangeburg Democrat:
In your issue Of March 7th, I no.
ticed a communication headed "Flor-
al Fair" by "Countryman," who ap-
peared to be quite enthusiastic Oil tho
subject of flowers. l fully agree with
him that with those, be they male o.
female, who don't love flowers,
refinement is at zero. | must say
right here ! am not in that cata-
CORY, being dear lover of flowers |;
yet I love something else, viz: in
early spring, lettuce Or salad, pretty
red crisp radishes, green peas, nice
cabbage heads, early Irish potatoes,
early turnips, onions, beats, straw
berries, &c. AS "Counlryman" urges
the ladies to exert themselves in tho
exhibition Of flowers, l hopG
that tue products of the garden will
not be neglected at the coming Floral
talr. tlt Is known thet put few 1l0w-
ers can be brought from distance for
exhibition on account of roughness
of roads injuring them in transporta-
tion, but vegetables can be brought
and exhibited. ! hope our vegetable
gardeners will be fully represented
on the occasion. I hope our citizens
generally will interest themselves IN
these exhibitions Of the Orangeburg
Agricultural and Mechanical Associ-
alton. These arc our own home in
stitutions, gotten up for the pleasure
and material interest Of our county.
Let us take pride in them and sus-
tain them by our presence and inhu-
encc. CITIZEN.

Two of the most terribly portcntous
clouds passed over our town on Tues
day last we have ever seen-one ut
four o'clock and the other ut six
o'clock in the afternoon. During the
passage of. the first cloud The dark
ness was sufficiently great to nccessi
tate TIE lighting Of lamps in the
stores and dwellings. Indeed we
heard OF one merchant who closed,
thinking it was night. At the work
shops, hands knocked Of, but had to
return when light was restored. Many
persons were apprehensive of a terri
BILE tornado from the blackncss Of the
cloud and the fiery appearance of its
edges, which dipped the horizon in
almost every direction. We have
since heard of no Storm or heavy fall
Of hail any where in the county, and
we trust tie threatening cloud passed
away without any unusual effects.

TIE second in the series of Dime;
Readings given by the Young Mems
Christian Association of our town
was held on Friday evening last at
Boliver's Hall, and was most graft,
flying success. The pieces, being all
of numerous character and well
read, brought down the house and
the readers in each instance retired
amid a round of applause. No Que
can with justice be designated as the
best reader. Mr.. Jas. II. LaRoache
rendered elegantly the case OF Bull
um vs.. Boatum," and showed up the
twistings and turnipgs orthe law with
fine effect; Col. w. j. DeTrevillc was
inimitable in "Ny Grand Fathers
RAM" and left the audience perfect
ly delighted, if not instructed as to
the important story indicated by the
title; Mr.. j. H. Fowles, happy in
his selection, rendered in a most ac-
ceptable manner the "Characlcr Of
Mrs. Caudle," and made many gen
tie husband smile with the hope OF
amends on the part Of his better-half;
and Maj. A. B. Knowlton in hu-
morous scene Of courtship and a
story OF his recent Mestern trip,
brought down the house time alter
time, which attestcd how well he
performed his part. Tie instrumen-
tai music for The occasion was fur
nis,ed by Capt. Mo.timcr Glover
and the vocal by Mrs. "A. 3. knowl-
ton and Master Gussie Knowlton.
1t is seldom an audience enjoys so
rare musical treat as that given by
Mrs. Knowlton on this occasion.
Whilst we appreciate fashionable
music and admire the talent which
gives it so perfectly as Mrs. ;Knowl-
tons, yet we must be allowed to cx-
press q preference for ballad music,
the sweet melodies which reach the
heart and melts it at one time to
tears, and at another make it burst
forth in the merriest glee. The "E!-
liotts," ballad by Major Knowlton,
was one of these, and the sentiment
and air SO nicely coalescing that its
effect upon the audience was over
whelming. The occasion, all in all,
was most enjoyable one.

The following law and law case,
taken from the records of .hc New
Haven colony in 1900, nre strange
reading in these times. The statute
says: "Whoever shall envciglc or
draw the affections of any Made or
maide-servant, either for himself or
others, withou! first gaining the con-
sent of her parents, shall pay to the
plantation for the offence 4Os.; for
the second. "a for the third, shall
be imprisoned or corporally punish
cd" Under this law, at a court held
in May, 1GG0, ,Jacobcth Murlinc and
Sarah Tuttlc were prosecuted for
setting down on chestc together,
his arms about her waiste and her
arme upon his shoulder, or about his
neck, aud continuing in that Sinful
posture about half an hour, in which
time he kyssed her and she kysscd
him, or they kyssed one another, as
yc witnesses testified" A fellow had
to be powerful careful how he went
acourting in those days.

TIE sad duty again devolves upon
lis of announcing the death of resi-
dent Of our county. Mrs. A. NJ. Cart
mill, wife of Mr.. Thomas Cartmill,
formerly of the city Of Charleston,
died very suddenly at her residence
in this county on the morning OF the
lst Of April. For few days previ-
Gus to her death she complained of
indisposition, but no suspicion of the
sad result was entertained ny her
husband and friends until few mo
ments before her end, when her own
suffering and sudden death aroused
the fears and sorrow Of her husband
at almost the same moment. The
funeral services were performed at
the residence of Mrs. Mcnamara by
the Rev. j. o. Schachti, Of the Cath.
olic Church, on Wednesday afternoon
at four o'clock, where a large number
of friends met to pay their last re-
spects to an esteemed departed
friend, and to mingle their mourning
with, and tender their sympathies to
tbe bereaved husband. Mrs. Cart
mill wes of n cordial, social diposi-

to purchase those made at home than

IT Is difficult to- say what consti.
tutes the beauty Of woman. The
Sandwich Islanders estimate women
BY their height. The Chinese require
them to have deformed feet and
black teeth. A girl must be tatooed
sky-blde' and wear a noseIrfng to
satisfy q South Sen islanders taste.
African princes require their brides
to'have their teeth filed like those of
a saw. In our country the greatest
charm of woman is modesty. Who
can keep from admiring a,swect, mo-
dest woman2 Why tho angels must
admire such being. =
