BRUTAL TREATMENT OF a CHILD
The correspondent of the News and
Courier, writing from this place. under
date of last Saturday, says: "One of
the most brutal and inhuman acts of
cruelty ever committed in q civilized
country has recently come to light in
this county. 1t seems that about two
weeks ago a little negro child, about
four years Of age, in the upper part of
this county, was by some accident
severely burned. The child did not
live with its parents, but was at the
house of a relative, colored man. 1t
had not recovered from Its burns, and
was unable to get up or move from its
bed. On Saturday night last this ne
gro man deliberately left home, with
out providing either food or water for
the helpless sufferer, and did not return
until the following Sunday night or
Monday morning, when the child, had
been LETT alone. was found dead. An
inquest was held, and the physician
who made the poSt-mortem eXamina-
tion assures me the child died from
actual starvation. An examination Of
the intestines anti stomach showed an
entire absence of food or liquid. Surely
this is case that merits and should
receive the Scverest punishment"

Col. LEE HAGooD, Manager South
Carolina Branch of the Valley Mutual
Life Association Of Virginia, on Thurs
day last received Il check to pay the
policy for $4,000 on the life of the late
Rev. Z. G. Fishburne, of Summerton,
Clarendon County, and on Monday one
for $4,000 to pay the policy Of the late
j. ~. Davis, of Dovesville, Darlington
County. Both these claims were paid
about six weeks before they were
legally due. This should be sufficient
refutation of the charge of some of
the former agents OF the Valley Mu-
tual who are now working for the
Inter States that the Valley Mutual is
weakening, and our advise is to stick
to the Valley Mutual and let the Inter
States severely alone until they can
show some assets to meet their liabili-
ties.

SwINDLEs.--There has been much
said lately about the bohemian oat
swindle." But the whole thing is so
barefaced that we do not Sympathize
much with the unfortunate suckers.
But what is worse and more insinua-
ting is the fruit tree swindlc. 1t takes
longer to learn that you are swindled,
but the damage is almost irreparable.
There is only one way to he safe in
buying fruit trees, and that is uncer-
tain enough; and that is to buy OF some
local nursery man that has an estab-
lished reputation for fair dealing. Give
the sfick-tongued, slick picture-book
tree agent wide berth, and set the dog
on him if he is too persistent. \ safe
rule is to buy nothing Of unknown
travelling agents.
TIE ROAD LAW.-AIai. Harry Ham
mond, of Beech Island, condemns the
existing road laws in South Carolina
and suggests that the public highways
be placed under the Management of 4
State board which should employ COM
petent surveyors and engineers. The
expense of this board is to be met by a
tax, two thirds of which should be
levied on vehicles, and the remaining
one third on all other property. This
is a subject that should receive the at
tention of the Farmers Convention.

the departure from our midst, Of the

for the last two months have been sup

Ho, For AIKEN The Baptist Sun
day School of our town has made very
favorable arrangements with the South
Carolina Railroad for an excursion to
Aiken, on Tuesday, May 1lth. 1t will
be q basket picnic, and the Sunday
schools of all the denominations have
been invited to unite. The Committee
of Arrangements, with special eye to
the pleasure of the children, has fixed
upon the following low rates OF
passage Sunday school children, 20
cents; all other persons, S1.0O. Con-
sidering the fact that Aiken is most
popular and attractive resort. and that
Orangeburg has never yet had an
excursion of this kind to that city, we
have no doubt that Il great many will
avail themselves of the opportunity Of
so pleasant trip. The train will leave
Orangeburg at Z \. NJ; arrive at Aiken
at 10 \. NJ; leave Aiken at 5 p. NJ, and
return to Orangeburg at s =. NJ, thus
giving the cxcursionists seven hours
in Aiken. Tickets will be placed for

EAsTER.-The Easter Day services at
the Church of the Redeemer, Rev. Fl. J.
Broadwell, NJ. D., Rector, were un-
usally interesting. The beautiful
blending of evergreen, moss and flow
ers showed the most exquisite taste on
the part Of the ladies Of the parish and
a most cordial interest in rendering
the church attractive. The musical
part of the service was beautifully and
lmpressively rendered. In the morn
ing the Rector preached from COL, III,
4, "Christ who is our life" and celebra-
ted the Holy Communion. In the a.
sernoon, evening prayer was said and a
Children's Easter service was held, in
which the singing of Carols, repeating
of Scripture passages, Il short address by
the Rector, and the distribution Of
Easter Cards. formed a pleasant and
interesting service. An unusually
large attendance marked both the
morning and afternoon service.

THE CoS1ET.--A comet is now visible
in the morning skies, and it can be
seen any clear morning with the naked
eye from o'clock until dawn blots it
from view. It is the comet discovered
by Fabry at Paris, France, on Decem-
ber 1st last. With Il telescope the comet
is beautiful object, with a tail some
five degrees or six degrees long, very
slender and neatly shaped. \ bright
starlike nucleus shines in the head and
is surrounded by Il nebulous glow Of
light. 4 group Of small stars can be
seen some distance back Of the head
shining through the gauZy train with
out any diminution Of their lustre.
The comet is Il conspicuous object and
will, after to-day, be visible in the
evening, sitting less than an hour after
the sun, but it will be $50 times as
bright as when discovered, which may
somewhat compensate for the disad-
vantage of its being seen on twilight
sky. The comet will then be moving
very rapidly toward the Southwest.

HEALTHY G1ELs.-Nothing, says
Dio Lewis, is 50 terrible rs severe
neuralgia; and, beyond a doubt, girls
acquire it often enough by the condi-
tions of school life. Headache in =
school girl usually means exhausted
nerve power through over-Work, over
excitement, oyer-anXiety, or bad air.
Rest, a good laugh, Il country walk,
will usually cure it readily enough to
begin with. But to become subject to
headaches is very serious matter; and
all such nervous diseases have nasty
tendency to recllr, to become periodic,
to be set up by the same cause, to be-
come an organic habit Of the body.
For any woman to become liable to
neuralgia is Il most terrible thing. 1t
means that while it lasts lifeis not
worth having 1t paralyzes the power
to work, it depriyes her of the power to
enjoy anything, it tends toward irrita-
Dility of temper, it ,tempts the use Of
narcotics and stinulants. So says DR..
Nelson, and so say +. \ girl who finds
herself subject to neuralgia should at
once change her habits, it but to grow
strong in body. Of what use is educa-
tion with i'll health? y happy girl
must be healthy one. The Greeks
educated their girls physically; we edu-
cate ours mentally. The Greek mothes
bore the finest children the world ever
produced. The Greek education of
girls developed beautiful women, and
their beauty lasted till old age. rhe
beautiful Helen was as handsome at
fifty as at "SWeet sixteen"

nvisit to our Town.
Sometime ago Clerk of Court Willis
of Collc.on County, paid brief visit
to our town, and this is what he has to
say about us in the Colleton Press:
AS your paper is teeming with politics,
I thought l might please some ofyour
readers by varying the "bill of fare"
and give them a short account of my
recent trip to the city Of Orangeburg.
will dispense with all apologies and
preliminaries, and commence by saying
that spent the night Of the End in
slant, with my relatives in the pleasant
little town of ReevesTille. took the
s o'clock train Saturday morning, and
in one and a half hours / stepped on
the Orangeburg depot. l was met
there and warmly greeted by my old
friend and former neighbor, Capt. Fl.
G. Sheridan, who conducted me to his
pleasant home situated 4 short distance
from the depot. Capt. Sheridan, assist
ed by his two sons, are conducting one
among the best classical schools in the
country. He has under his charge
ninety scholars and five counties are
represented in his school. Boys are
prepared here to enter the higher
classes in college or for the active
duties in life. He has several boys,
and at least one young lady, from Cole
ton. We took walk through the busi-
ness portion of the city, and was as
tonished to see the crowd of people
thronging the sidewalks, crowding the
stores, the street, as we'll as the large
wagon yard of Mr.. Cornelson, were
filled with vehicles of every kind from
the country, and [ suppose / saw at
least fifty bales Of cotton brought in for
sale. MIR. Cornelson has, think, the
finest store and largest stock of goods
in the city. MessrS. Kohn. Pike and
Epstin, have also large stores. DR..
Wannamaker has the finest drug store
in the city. My young friend from
Colleton DR.. Reeves is doing well in
the drug business also. We visited the
office of THE TINES AND DEMOCRAT,
Editor Sims was out, but we were po-
litely shown over the Office and found
every thing in good style. 1t is live

WhoM II I was introduced later in the
day, and roomed with him while in the
city, deserves the success he has achiev-
ed. Later in the evening Capt. Sheri-
dan took me in his buggy through all
the principal streets OF the city and to
every place of note in the suburbs of
the city. Orangeburg is certainly a
beautiful as well as Il thriving city, and
when they build their Lewiedale and
Fork Rail Road the business of the
city will be doubled. I like Orange
burg very much and was very much
pleased with my short Wait.

A Boodler Found Guilty.

New YORK, December l5.-McQuade,

guilty on the first ballot.
Just half an hour after the retirement
of the jury, as General Tracy and Mr..
Newcombe were passing down stairs to
dinner, an officer ran after Newcombe,
and catching him, breathlessly exclaimed:
"Come back, they are agreed" The
crowd, which had hardly left the court
room, rushed back. For several min
utes the greatest excitement reigned, but
the principal man whose liberty was at
stake, showed no signs of any more in.
terest than if he were only an ordinary
spectator. Presently the jury came in.
They had funeral expression of face.
The roll was called, and the foreman,
Henry Gutenberg, stood up and in reply
to the question said: Guilty of the
crime as charged in the first count in the
indictment" The roll was called again
and each juror answered guilty" as his
name was called. When the verdict wa.
given to the Court, McQuade alone re
NAMED unmoved. His demeanor wa
not different from that OF any other day

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Kelsey and McCOrd Held for the
Killing of Helms.

SAN FRANCISCO, December l5.-The
Coroner held an inquest to-day in the
case of Bernard Helms, who was killed
during the riot at the terminus of the
Sutter street line Monday last. The
testimony given by witnesses pointed to
John Kelsey, now under arrest charged
with murder, as the person who fired
the fatal shot. City Physician Black
testified to making an autopsy on the
deceased. 1t was the Doctors judgment
that the shot must have been fired by
some one above the deceased. Kelsey's
testimony showed he was below Helms
ON the hill. After 10 minutes delibera-
tion the jury returned verdict finding
that the deceased came to his death
from hemorrhage of the brain, caused
by bullet from pistol in the hand of
Kelsey. They also found that j. Nc.
Cord, Superintendent of the Sutter
street line, was guilty of ordering his
guards to shoot. Both were charged
with murder.

Yesterday Austrian, French and italian
Ambassadors respectively told the

cept Prince Nicholas of Mingrelia as .
for the Bulgarian throne, Ef--
fendi has expressed in Sofa his per-
sonal opinion that Bulgaria would do
better than wait until the reelection of
Prince Alexander was possible. It is
reported that the Turkish ministry, in
view of the representation and after dis
,ussing with them, has sent to the Sui
'an's palace the proposal for the dis
nissal of Gadban Effendi from the di-
