Grand Old County.

In speaking of the efforts to cut
up the county to help form a num-
Der Of poor, weakly little counties,
the Columbia State pays this
tribute to the grand old county of
Orangeburg:
"Old Orangcburg is one Of the
greatest counties in the United
States and she would lose this pres
tigc if dismembered. 1t is said that
there are more substantial farmers
in Orangeburg county than in any
other in the State. There are not
SO many wealthy farmers, but there
is a larger number Of farmers who
own and till their lands. This and
other things draw the people of the
county closely together"
This is all true and it would be q
great pity to cut up the grand old
county in order that a few people
living in certain towns might en-
nance the value of their lands at the
expense of the country people, who
would not be benefited. But as
The State says there has been a
great deal of attachment for the
mother county, and it may be hard
to get the people to vote to secede
from Orangeburg to either st. Mat
thews or Branchville." 1t is our be-
lief that all the propositions to cut
the grand old county Of Orange
burg will be voted down.

THAT is a horrible story that we
publish on the first page. Nearly q
whole family Of negroes were wiped
out of existence for harboring and
aiding a negro rapist to escape. Had
the Padgett family acted as they
should have acted, and surrendered
the fiend who had sought shelter in
their home no harm would have come
to them. But instead of doing that,
they aided him in shooting down the
posse that had gone to arrest him.
The fend escaped for the time being,
but those who assisted him paid dear
~ for upholding crime. The sooner
the negroes learn that they cannot
array themselves with the criminals
of their race against law and order
the better for the race.---The Or

WE think it extremely bad taste in
a preacher to scold people for not
coming out to hear him preach. What
he ought to do is to go to work and
preach such sermons as will draw the
people out to hear him. We have al
ways thought the preacher who we
heard say once that he blamed him
self when his congregations were
small, was right. He said if others
could draw large congregations there
was no rcason why he could not if his
sermons could be made Interesting.

Kansas City.

The question as to whether Jew who
observes Saturday as his Sabbath and
closes his place of business on that day
may be open for business on Sunday,
was up before Justice Michael Ross for
decision. Upon the complaint of some
union men A. Schneider and Joseph
Wiseman, who own blacksmith shop,
were in court on charge of keeping open
on Sunday. The defendants contended
that they were exempt from the statute
as they closed on Saturday, and that to
force them to close on Sunday would be
working hardship upon them. The
union men argued that if they were al
lowed to remain open on Sunday they
would get all the trade, as Sunday was
the most convenient day to have horses
shod. Justice Ross took the case under
advisement.

" OUNCE" "

1t is a strange fact that the word
"dunce," meaning stupid person,
comes from the name Of one OF the most
eminent scholars Of his time, Duns SEQ
trls.
In the Reformation, the works OF the
schoolmen fell into disfavor with the re-
formers, and Duns, who was the leader
of the schoolmen, was often spoken OF
with scorn by the votaries OF the new
learning. AS time went by the name OF
Duns became by-word for utter stu
pidity.
