A Bath i'm the Dead Sea.

A correspondent of the Washington
Star, who has had bath in the Dead
Sea, describes his experience as follows:
"The water, which is quite clear. and
nearly the color of the Niagara River
below the falls, seemed to me a little
more bitter and salt than that OF Salt
Lake, although brighter and more
attractive to the eye when seen close
at hand. It's supporting power struck
me as little greater, also, than that of
Salt Lake, as the body foated more
easily and the difficulty Of swimming
was greater on account of the inability
to keep ones feet under water. So
large quantity of salt is held in soIu-
ton that the water has what is called,
l believe, a 'rOpy' appearance, much
like that of q plate of we'll made tapioco
soup. | observed, however, that when
We came out of the water there was not
so large deposit of salt crystals on the
body as after bath in Salt Lake, and
the feeling Of the skin, instead of being
dry and prickly, as | expected, was
rather oily and sticky. Our dinner that
night was seasoned with salt made from
Dead Sea water by solar evaporation.
1t was a little lighter in color than the
best article Thrown sugar. LIS crystals
were large and hard, and, though for
eign substances were evidently present
in considerable quantity. 1t was not
! unpleasant to the taste. | was tod that
two quarts Of water will produce one
quart of salt, but this is probably an
exageration. To complete the statistics
of this remarkable body Of water, I may
add what many of my readers may
| already know-that there is no living
thing Of any kind in it; that even the
driftwood brought down by the floods
in the Jordan is speedily cast upon It's
shores; that its length is about forty five
and its greatest width about ten miles
that it is over 1900 feet deep at the
deepest place; and that the immense
quantity of fresh water poured into it
daily is undoubtedly taken up by
evaporation, as its great depth below
the basin of the Mediterranean must
preclude the idea of a subterranean
outlet" E

4 Bows CircVS.

A local correspondent Of the Cam
bridge Mass Tribune writes: "a few
days ago heard my 5-year-od boy Of
fering to bis schoolmates tickets to a
circus. On inquiry [ found the per
formance was to take place in my
stable. On looking at the tickets pre-
pared for the occasion, [ discovered
that the child had been tearing up
some elegant cOlored note paper my
wife kept for her fastidious correspon-
dents, and on each rude slip was written
in a coarse hand, "Admit the barer.
The price charged for the tickets was
six pins. [ heard afterward that one
big boy, conscious of his power, offered
some old bent pins, and when they
were refused, threatened to visit the
show and break it up. [ do not pro-
pose to give an account Of the enter
tainment, where there were six per-
formers and three spectators; | merely
wish to state the results of the affair
| heard that the affair broke up III a
general row, in which some boards
which had just been planed for shelves
in the hou e were broken up, two or
three panes of glass smashed in the
windows, and considerable damage
done to things generally in the stable.
The darling boy had carried out into
the stable nice sheet to divide off the
green room, and in the excitement at
the close of the moral show some one
accidently set fire to it. The fire was
easily extinguished with one or two
dippers of water, but one of the larger
boys was frightened and gave the alarm,
which soon drew two or three steaming
engines in front of my premises. At
night l looked at my cherub with de-
light as be was sleeping beautifully
and peacefully, as only calm con-
science will allow one TO do"

the good of his wife and little ones
and heal their broken hearts. The
remains were taken to the home ol

MEssRs. Utsey & Murrav, who op-

to Georges Station, where they will

We cannot but express regret for
this removal after so short stay
and so auspicious an opening. Mr..

the business here is young man OF
large business capacity, courteous

leaves in Orangeburg many warm
friends who wish him oil the success

THERE is not more attractive
store in Orangeburg than that kept
by Mr.. Henry Kohn. No department
is without its features to attract, to

home, and the best of all is a stock

low prices as can be had anywhere.
His dry goods are we'll assorted, af-
fording variety sufficient to please
the most fastidious taste his hosiery
embraces every variety, every quality
and at every price; his woolens, both
for gentlemen and ladies, are of the
best quality; his shirts are good
said to be the best in the State; and
his boots and shoes, every size and
quality running from the biggest
foundation 10 the tin;est foot, can
not fail to please and are really bar
gains.

ALMOST every town, says an eX-
change, has certain number Of men
who impress one with the idea that
they would like to build high fence
around the place, leaving but one
gate. Then they would like to stand
at the gate with club and knock
down any and every stranger who
might seek admittance, especially if
the stranger proposed to benefit the
town in any way. We are glad to
say We are not among that number.
If any man or set of men can come
here and publish a better paper than
we can for the same money we say
let them come, and we will retire, as
every good citizen should be willing
to do oil he can to advance the gene
eral prosperity Of the community in
which he may live.

the direction Of Rev. Manning Brown,
Presiding Elder of Orangeburg Dis
trict, assisted by the Rev. o. A. Dar-

the Rev. J. L. Siflny Of The Cokes-
bury Circuit. We have never seen
more sincere efforts put forth or
heard more earnest preaching in be-
ha:f Of erring men than these faithful
ministers Of the gospel are doing.
Our people need just such work and
we trust the meeting will be blessed
with abundant success in the saliva
tion Of souls and the bnilding up Of
Christ's spiritual kingdom in our
midst. Let christians become cola
borers in the work, and we shall have
a revival of religion that will result
in great advantage to the entire COM
munity.

WE have been requested by Mr..
j. A. Dantzler, who has taken some
pains TO ascertain the fucts, that the
rumor which reports Addison Pauling
as voting the Radical ticket at the
last election is false. Addison voted
at the Poplar Precinct when several
Democratic gentlemen stood at the
box and saw him put the ballot in,
among whom was Mr.. Shed Par
Ter and Mr.. Sam Kemorlin. The
report is being circulated to the
serious injury Of an old Democratic
colorcd citizen, who has always been
faithful to the party in the past, even
from the beginning. We take pleas
ure in giving publicity to the corrcc-
ton with the hope that public iudg.
ment will be suspended and the form
cr character Of Addison will be re-es-
tablished among his neighbors.

pied by Messrs. Utsey & Murray.
This enterprising firm, comparative
strangers in Orangeburg, have made
such rapid strides toward success
that q change to more commo lious
quarters became an imperative neccs-
sity. Low prices, fair dealing, kind
attentions and standard goods have

increase their capacity to meet the

prices. Indeed he creates trade
makes business and drives it to sue
