AS we predicted in our last issue.
it has been o. busy time with Mr..
kortjohn. Having received a large
consignment of Notions, Dry Goods,
Boots, Shoes, Hats, &c., he threw
them OH the market at unpreccdcnt-
cd prices, consequently large crowds
were in attendance, and large sums
of money changed hands as the bet
ting men say, but this is 40 game of
chance. 1t is true this store receives
most OF the cash money spent in the
town, but buyers receive the value
therefrom two-fold. Strange must he
the piece Of humanity who visits this
busy mart and goes away dissatisfied
with goods, prices. proprietors or as
sistants. Mr.. X. has n full stock and
receives daily new additions. 1t
would he impossible for ua TO predict
what next will be offered at this
place, when huge family bibles as
sold by travelling agents for twelve
and fifteen dollars arc offered 10 you
at $500, and long whalcbone buggy
whips at 40 cents, black cashmere at
80 cents, worth 75-but we will leave
Dick and his prices till next issue.

Wants to be a Martyr.

Editor OrangeGury Democrat:
1t is not surprising that the indig-
nation of the people was so generally
aroused by the recent letter from Or
angeburg to the Tribune but some
think it would have beeu better to
pass it without notice. There are
men who come here with the determ:-
nation to be made martyrs of in some
way. There are so many such ut
home, men Of small calibre, that the
chances Of being made notorious are
few and far betwaon. But this is q
fruitful field. A page or two of mis-
representation is gobblcd up by the
many enthusiasts there, and the quite
ordinary man becomes the Lillipution
giant at once.
The citizens Of Oran ngeburg cannot
do'the author Of that letter a greater
favor, Or please him better than to
keep such matters before the public.
If Grant or some other Republican
should be elected President, there is
no doubt this man would fill some fat
Office. The poor martyr Of Orange
burg,
His evidently chosen position here
now, puts one in mind OF the old lady
with life prcserver on board the
steamer during gale, e'Do some one
blow me up pray blow me up" B.

feet, scalding him? severely from the
thighs to his feet, and another negro
man was slightly injured by the acci-
dent. The engineer, DIr. John Rich
ards, was stunned for a while but not
seriously hurt.

For Mayor.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:

tdnor Ordngeborg Democrat:
AS the time for our town election
is near, l deem it not improper to
write you short communication in
regard TO the candidate of the people
for Mayor. All will readily admit
that the chief executive officer Of our
town should be man respected by
both races of our citizens; one to
whom all may look for exact justice
in the administration of public af-
fairs. E
He should be man OF nerve and
decision, not fearing to act when the
public good demands action, and car
ing nothing for ephemeral public
opinion, when, adverse to him, so long
as he Ahoaos that he istright. Every
community has not such man as
this.
Orangeburg is more fortunate than
many others are, she has man who
possesses every qualification for maxi
ing an efficient, acceptable and up
right Mayer. Mcssrs. Editors, we
have reference to the present incum-
bent, Hon. J. w. MoscIey. We write
this : without having ever spoken TO
Mr.. Moseley in regard to the Mayor.
atty Of our town. st
We know that it is not in unison
with his feelings to be the incumbent
of any public office, but we hope that
he will again do, lis lie often dd in
the past, sacrifice personal interests
and pleasures for the public good,
and serve US for at least another
term in the capacity of Mayor. w.
