POETRY



The breeze sinks down and the long reach
or barren sands
In the hot sun seems like the beach
ofdesert lands.
Among the rocks no children run.
Only some poor old women come
For driftwood drying in the sun.
IT'S full high noon, the tide is out,
We quiet are.
God knows what storms may sweep without
The harbor bar.
The sudden squali, the veerlng gale
May tear and wreck the distant san
or him we love. Our weak hearts fan
IT'S sunset; tnereturnIng tide
Creeps up the sands,
The waves CLEAN with warm coiors dye.
From tropic lands
The fresh breeze watts the sounds OF low
From lips Of many happy boy
To whom each wave brings new toy.
snow-white sail fits 'cross the bar,
The light is past.
But ere appears the evening star.
He comes at last.
His ship Is moorec. With him beside
MY doubling heart can dread abide9
Shall Tomorrow fear enp ttdee

A Baby show mt the White House.
There was regular baby show in the East
Room at the White House recently. At
least one-fo,lrth of the two hundred and
thirty-seven individuals who attended the
Presidential matinee were babes in arms.
A three-year-old, attired in q drab mother
hubbard, attracted considerable attention
by It's pranks and prattle, much to the con-
fusion of its blushing mother. The latter's
satchel and its contents were repeatedly
strewn over the floor by the youngster and
it was not until the President appeared ON
the scene that tho child was subdued.
When its mother held il up to shake hands
with the President it threw both arms
arouud her neck hid its face in her cloak
and gave the President the snub direct.
The numerous other babies present were
more soeiable and treated the President
with more Difference. One little miss,
about five years old, handed him bunch
of pretty flowers. care these for me Y'
said the President as the little girl handed
them to him. :. Yes, sir" she replied,
/" and il you want to you may give
some Of them to your pretty wife" The
President replied that he would be selfish
and keep them all himself. Toward the
end Of the line there was fat baby prob
ont q lot of baby gibberish with which the
mother seemed perfectly delighted. The
with merry twinkle in his eye,
took the little ones hand and remarked. +" Is

SECRET OF LARGE ROUND CABBAGE.
James II. Gregory, the well known
Massachusetts herbsman, lets his pat
rons into the secret of growing good
large, round heads Of cabbage every
time. lie builds his practice on the
theory that the cabbage abSorbS its
nourishment through its stump, hence
the manure should be put where the
roots and stumps can get at it. Mr..
Gregory put his plants three feet apart
when he wants good drumhead, culti-
Yates them three times ut least, and
gives plenty Of good manure. He ad-
VOcateseplOwing in a furroW and filling
it up with manure. Plow it well under,
but do not scatter it over the land. Put
it where the roots of the plant are 60
ing to be. 10 prevent cabbage heads
from bursting, Mr.. Gregory advises go
ing over the ground often and starting
every.cabbage that appears to be about
to mature, by pushing it over sideways.
Heads thus started, he claims, will at
tain twice the size they were when
about to burst.

aLewiedale News" that books of sub
'scription to Orangeburg and Lewiedale
Railroad Company, will be open from
April 1st, and be kept open for thirty
days therefrom. also designating places
at which subscriptions will be received.
On motion of Capt. j. Fl. Lewie, of
Lewiedale. it was resolved that the
next meeting of the corporators be held
at this place.
On motion Messrs. Izlar g. Glaze were
appointed legal advisers of the corpor-
alton.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned subject to the call
of the chairman.
The meeting was composed of many
of the best citizens Of the two counties
represented. and was remarkably har-
monious and business-like.
That this road will be built seems
now beyond a doubt, and it is predicted
that Orangeburg will have at least one
more railroad in the near future.

The Duties of Grand Jurors.

From the Sumter Advance we ex-
tract a few paragraphs from sugges-
tive article under the above caption.
which are OF general application, and
may be found serviceable to the grand
jurors:
We have been at some pains to in
quire into the general duties and pow
ers of grand jury, and give them here
for the benefit of the general public,
and perhaps in may be for the enlight-
enment of the grand jurors themselves.
The powers and duties of grand
jury arise from the common law, and
are many and varied.
1t is the jury of grand inquest into
the affairs of the country. 1t is their
special duty to inquire into all infrac-
tions OF the law, and take steps to have
them corrected.
1t is the duty of each individual
grand juror to take cognizance of
every violation of law that comes to his
knowledge; and it is equally his duty to
inquire into all such matters that he
may hear Of, and report the same to the
grand jury when it meets. The fore
man calls meeting Of the grand jury
at any time to consider and act upon
matters pertaining to the welfare of the
county.
Any citizen may do this reporting to
the grand jury, but it is the special duty
Of the members Of the grand jury to do
so, as sworn officers of the law.
The grand jurors, being the grand
inquisitors and conservators of law and
order in the county, it is their sworn
duty to look out for, inquire into and
investigate all violations of law in the
county; and present by Indictment, all
offenders. to the Court for trial.
This is their special duty, more than
of any other official of the county.
The grand jury has the power to
compel the attendance of witnesses be-
fore them, and having made out p9in,a
facie case, it can present such offenders
to the Court at once by Indictment and
have them arrested forthwith and
brought to trial. The grand jury can
do this independently Of the Solicitor
or any other official, and it is their
sworn duty TO do 80. The grand jury
is a powerful piece of legal machinery,
with wide scope of duties and powers.
We hope to see the grand Jury for 1886
inaugurate new practice and do
something else besides meeting togeth-
er at Court time and making general
presentments and then stop.

of the moon change five times on Fri
day and the sun was eclipsed on the

Dots from the Fork.

Editor Times a7aG Democrat:
at last Spring seems to have opened
upon us, and the weather is delightful.
Corn planting is general, and in this
section the farmers seem to be up with
their preparations. I have not yet
seen the first field Of Fall oats that had
more than one-fourth Of stand. Many
of the farmers have planted oats since
the freeze. They did but little till
within the last ten day, but they are
now looking like they might make,
and with favorable season will where
they have been manured. Notwith-
standing the low price Of the fleecy
staple, we are going it again for too
much cotton. The farming interest in
this section is in better condition than
1t has been for many years.
In the Providence of God we mourn
the loss Of one of our most energetic
and progressive young farmers, J..
Frank Cope, only thirty years of age.
Fully prepared, he passed quietly
away on the 28th day of February last.
He leaves an interesting family, con-
sisting Of wife and three small chill
dren. NEERa.
