Mr.. G, w. Williams.

We regret that the cotton specula-
ton Of New York is about to get
Mr.. Williams into perhaps inextrica-
bio trouble. We were in hopes that
his icputcd ability to pay his liabifi-
tics at the rate Of one hundred cents
on the dollar would be verified by a
course SO desirable for a man who
was for years the leading merchant
Of our State and Of the South. In
stead Of this we find him Offering fifty
cents on the dollar, which his credi-
tors Indignantly refused and entered
suit against him. Mr.. Birnie also
has commenced suit against Mr.. Will
liams for damages TO n large amount,
and upon the heals OF these facts cir
culars have been issued notifying the
public CT Tie dissolution Of the firm
Of G. w. Williams &C. Co., Of Charles
ton. Surely the mcshcs of misfor-
tune are drawing closely about him.
We cannot, however, believe without
further proof that crookedncss char
actcrizcd the conduct Of Mr.. Will
liams.

The Quinine MOnopoIY.

Some weeks ago we noticed editor
tally the unjustitiable tax by which
our people were forced to pay $780,
600 for the support of two Northern
firms. This burden rested on us so
long that the money was paid with
out even complaint, and, in the ma
jority OF instances, without knowl-
edge OF its injustice. The News and
Courier, however, brought the mat
ter to light, and since then by the in
iluencc Of the press throughout the
country, Democratic congressman
took the matter i'm hand and used
suck efforts as resulted at last in re-
moving tho tax. The manufacture
of qninino is now open to the world
and will command ut the druggist
only it's market price, which ought
not TO exceed onc.half its present
rates.

Edisto Rifles.

This company has made extensive
preparation for their celebration to-
day. We have noticed the command
drilling on several occasions and
from the promptness with which they
obcyed every order and the facility
and accuracy with which they were
'xecuted, we predict for them q most
creditablc exhibition of military skill
today OH their parade. Gen. Izlar,
its war captain, will deliver an ad-
dress on The OCCASION and will give a
complete history of the command
from its date of organization to the
present time. No one is better able
TO perform this duty, or can give
general satisfaction to the old vete-
ram members than the captain who
exposed himself with them upon
many hard contested baLtlelelds
and who endured the heat and bur.
den, the wear and tear, and the toll
and lardships of camp life.
Our citizens may prepare them.
selves for treat, such only as Gen.
Izlar can give on subject in which
both his head and heart are deeply
Interested. Other amusements and
the usual refreshments will be pre-
vided, SO that there will hc no lack
Of food for either mind or body, and
that every one may he in the right
mood to honor tho men whose noble
deeds Of daring have given character
to the history of our town. For what
the Washington Light Infantry is to
Charleston, or the Governors Guard
is to ColGu,5:;:, the Edisto Rifles is
to Orangcburg.

Sheridan's School.
Editor OronaebuYy Democrat:

Editor Oronaebuy Democrat:
The closing exercises OF this most
excellent school, WHICH is always
looked forward to with SO mneh plea
ure by the citizens Of our town, came
off last Friday night in the Court
house. This being an institution of
which Orangeburg is justly proud,
1 was not surprised to see the
largest and most brilliant audience
ever assembled on similar occasion
in our thriving town. The large and
spacious courtroom was crowded to
overlooking, and more appreciative
audience l have; never seen. That
alone will say more for the splendid
success of the exhibition than could
The vast amount Of good which is
every year e..iie1ating from the noble
efforts Of the christian scholar who is
at the head Of this school has been
felt and appreciated in our entire and
adjoining counties, judging from the
number Of young men who come from
distance 10 receive its advantages.
About halfpast eight o'clock the
speaking commenced, the smaller
boys leading off, who, without an ex-
ception, did remarkably well, and
showed that no pains had hecn spar
ed in their training. The highest cx-
pectations of that select audience
were fully met. The young gentlemen
acquitted themselves handsomely ,and
would have graced college rostrum.
They all spoke with grace and ease
rarely seen in young men Of their
age, rejecting muoh credit on the
school. Determinations are, know,
invidious, but I think it is only just
to mention the mastorly style in
which Master Harry Dawson han
died his difficult piece. The query,
SIS the mental capacity of the two
sexes equal" was discussed in a spir-
tied manner by quite number of the
young gentlemen. Mr.. H. S. Wan
namaker was the presiding offic ,r.
and right we'll did he perform that
duty. The whole affair was one of
the best and most enjoyable Of the
kind that ever had the pleasure Of
attending. This school is an orna-
ment to the town and 1 wish Mr..
Sheridan much success in his high and
holy work of training the minds Of
the young. I bespeak for him a large
patronage, and hope his school will
long be what it is--a benefit and q
blessing to this community.
PROGREss,
