DEATn.-A gloom of intense sad
ness was thrown over this community
last Monday afternoon wien it was
known that Frank L. Porter, ESQ. i,
had breathed his last. We do not re-
member TO have met elsewhere one
who, at his early time Of life, pos
sesscd to so high a degree as young
Porter, all the more pleasing and
sterling virtues Of manhood. Posses
scd of'rare luicllness ana taste for
st0dy, he enjoyed the rare benefit, in
hoyhood and youth, Of careful train
ing by his father, the late Z. j. Por-
ter, Esq a brilliant lawyer, endowed
with u vigorous, eclectic, literary
talent, carefully nurtured by thor
ough education impaired in his ma
tive. country, Ireland. Frank L. Por-
ter, Esq, who was admitted to the
bar last spring, was but few months
over twenty. seven years Of age, and
had he lived 10 exert properly the
good gifts which God had bestowed
upon him would have made an honor
able mark among his fellowmen. The
Immediate cause Of his untimcly end
was congestion of the liver. The
above, which we clip from the Kings
tree ,st"1, was the first intimation we
had of the death Of very near and
dear friend. It's hard for us to real
ize that his noble young heart has
been stillcd by the icy hand of death.
One by one the links in friendships
golden chain are broken, and familiar
voices will greet our coming no more
forever. Over his new made grave
we drop the tear Of genuine sorrow,
and for his memory we will ever
cherish the deepest vencration.

cess is Of the most simple nature, as fol-
lows: aElatc of nickle composition met
al, specially adapted to the purpose, has

SOUND ADvIcE.-Young man, when
you see anything you want, ask for it
like man. If you want to borrow
five dollars of man, or if you only
want TO marry his daughter, don't
slide up to him and hang on TO your
hat and talk politics and religion and
weather, and tell old stale jokes
whereof you can't remember the
point, until you worry the old man
into nervous irritation. Go at him
with full head of steam. Then you
will fetch him. Or, possibly, he may
fetch you. But never mind; you'll
accomplish something, and show you
are not afraid to speak what is on you
mind. And that's great deal more
than you would accomplish by the
other method.

STILL UNsETTLED.-You may talk
about your fifteen puzzle being hard
to work out, and no doubt it is, but
the hardest puzzle the Orangcburg
public has had to contend with yet is
the remarkable question, "who is the
pretLicst young lady in town." At
every fair this vexed question comes
up, and the boys pitch in and vote
early and often with the hope that it
will be settled then and there forever.
But no use. In very short time the
decision is set aside, and at the very
first opportunity they are called upon
to vote again on the same old ques-
ton. Let us hope that the vote the
other evening at the moonlight pic.
mic has definitely settled the matter
for few months st least.

RAIN NEEDED.-The need of rain
is pretty generally felt through many
sections Of the county and will entail
serious loss to the crops if not hnd in
few days. At this season when
corn is developing the grain, q
drought of only few days becomes
n very serious matter. We hope,
however, the later rains may fall as
well as the former and an abundant
crop may reward the efforts Of our
farmers.
