washos John, the Indian oonAnsd IN
the County Jail for the murder Of Piuts
Charley, seems quite contented With his
present situation. he smokes cigarettes
most Of the time aud talks freely about
the murder. admitting that he did It all
himself. Sometimes hs laughs Az be
describes how hs cut Charley's throat
and then went TO alsep alongside the
corpse.
His replies to questions are some Of
them quite amusing.

This may explain why hs pleaded

nrst supposed to have been implicated
In the affair kept 1t to themselves there
would have been no evidence to reach
them. The Piutes. however, would
doubtless have ferreted the matter out
and taken sure revenge upon the
WGhoes for the bloody work OF Sunday
night. At least Il John was liberated

A SAMPLE OF INDIAN sroLIprrY.
Some years ago at Fort Churchill an
Indian was sitting astrids Of q field how.
itxer rolling Q cigarette. when q wag
stole up behind and applied . slow
match to the gun. There was q trsmsn.
dous report and the piece, which was
heavily loaded, made such Q rrcoil that
1t aid from under the savage aud left
him sitting On the ground. When the
smoke cleared away he had finished
rolling the cigarette. and pulling out .
match he d-liberativs lighted It and
went on smoking. A shout OF laughter
went up, but IL did not affect the stolid
redskin, who continued sitting on the
spot where he had been landed BY the
gun. during the afternoon. A more
cool proceeding than this IL not on
record.

The Orangeburg democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1879-1881, 1879-07-04

We regret that the cotton specula-
tion 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-
tirs ct the rate Of one hundred cents
on the dollar would be verified by a
course SO desirable for n 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 large amount,
and upon the heals OF these facts cir
culars have been issued notifying the
public Of the dissolution of the firm
of G. w. Williams &C. Co., of Charles
ton. Surely the mcshcs of misfor-
tune arc drawing closely about him.
We cannot, however, believe without
further proof that crookedncss char
actcrizcd the conduct Of Mr.. Will
liams.

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 most
creditable exhibition Of military skill
TO- day on their parade. Gen. Izlar,
its war captain, will deliver an ad-
dress on The occasion and will give a
comp te 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 yete-
ran members than the captain who
exposed himself with them upon
many hard contested battleiiclds
and who endured the heat and bur-
den, the wear and tear, and the toll!
and hardships Of camp life.
Our citizens may prepare them.
selves for Il treat, such only as G Ell.
lzlar 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 he no lack
Of food for either mind or body, and
that every one may he in the right
mood to honor the 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 Columbia, the Etlisto Rifles is
to Orangcburg.

Redmond, the Out law.

This hunted and prosecuted man
by the bloody hand Of the Federal
law was induced last week by a spy
to leave his mountain stronghold and
was suddenly surrounded by Revenue
officers. Redmond, recognizing the
treachery, drew his revolver and
opened fire upon the spy and posse
which produced hasty and by no
means a digniicd or crcditable STAN
pedc that did not cease until fifteen
miles spanncd the distance between
the atfrightcd fugitivcs and the lone
OUTLAW.
1t does seem to us that this kind of
conduct on the part of great nation
against poor, fathcrless boy ought
TO stop. The government is paying
out large sums of money for the
apprehension Of Redmond to men
who are ten times more the rascal than
Redmond ever was or can be. They
are too cowardly to arrest him if
they could and are too dishonest 10
stop their pay by his arrest. Human
ity, Justice and every other virtue de-
mand cessation Of hostilitics when
Redmond offers to give up if the
government will guarantee a fair
trial. What more is needed.

Sheridan's School.

Editor Orongebu'y Democrat:
The closing exercises Of this most
excellent school, WHICH is always
looked forward to with so much 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 q similar occasion
in our thriving town. The large and
spacious courtroom was crowded to
oyerflowing, 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 emcnating 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
q distance 10 receive its advantages.
About halfpast eight o'clock the
speaking commenced, tho smaller
boys leading of, who, without an cx-
ception, did remarkably we'll, and
showed that no pains had heen spar
cd 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 much 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 tho mental capacity Of the two
sexes equal" was discussed in spir-
tied manner by quite number of the
young gentlemen. Mr.. II. S. Wan
namaker was the presiding officer,
and right we'll did he perform that
duty. The whole affair was one of
the best and most enjoyable of the
kind that I 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 large
patronage, and hope his school will
long bo what it is-a benefit and a
blessing to this community.

The Quinine Monopoly.

Some weeks ago we noticed editor
tally the unjustifiablc 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 4 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
ilnencc of the press throughout the
country, Democratic congressman
took the matter in hand and used
such efforts rs resulted at last in re-
moving tho tax. The manufacture
OF quinine is now open to the world
and will command at the druggist
only its market price, which ought
not TO exceed onc.half its present
rates.
