Of the Season.

To-day the four clubs in the little
South Carolina State league start on
the last week of the season of 1908.
In the game little league Sumter
and Chestr will fight it out for first
place, while Orangeburg and Rock
Hill will battle for third place. Sum
ter starts the week with two less lost
games than Chester. just 19 points
in Sumter's favor. Orangeburg leads
Rock Hill by two less lost games,
IA points. So it will be seen that
the finish this week In the State

ways than one.
Sumter plays the whole week at
home as the Orangeburg series has
been transferred there.
Chester plays. at Rock Hill today,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and closes
the season at home with Rock Hill
on Saturday, August 1. 1t will be

CHILDREN'S DAY PICNIC.
A Very Pleasant Day Spent at Two
Mile Swamp.

On last Saturday, July 25th. A
"Children Day" picnic, was given
by the good people Of the Norway
section, at Two-Mile Swamp church
which was attended by very large
crowd. The number present was
estimated at about 1900 or 1900.
Exercises began at 10 o'clock a.
m. A number Of speeches were
made by the little children, that were
very interesting and were enjoyed
by all that heard them. After the
children's exercises, a good long
interesting talk was delivered by Mr..
Lucius Livingston of North, S. c.,
after which the committee adjourn
ed for dinner. The dinner was de-
layed sometime by good rain, that
came up just as the well filled bas-
kets were ready to be opened. Of
course, every body with their baskets,
left the table to seek shelter in the
church and school house.
After dinner. we wereS addressed
by Mr.. Clifton Hair. He made a
good talk that was enjoyed too, by
all near enough to hear him. Cliff
ton is a bright young boy of that
section and is trying hard to make
a good man of himself. He has the
good wishes of all who know him,
in his good efforts. :. .,,
The rain was very much needed
in that section. Therefore it was
appreciated, if it did disturbe the
people and make them wait while
for dinner. I don't think any of
them waited long enough to hurt
themselves, when they did get it,
by eating too much Of the good din
ner that was plentifully spreaded be-
fore them. G. G. B.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR o. C. 1.
President Peterson Has Just Issued
Fifteenth Annual Catalogue.


The 18th annual catalogue of the
Orangeburg Collegiate Institute has
been issued, and is now being sent to
prospective patrons throughout the
State. The school is attracting more
attention each year, and is bringing
to the city boys and girls from many
different sections of the State. The
health record of the schcol has been
almost perfect. President Peterson
has worked hard for the school, and
it has had a fine teaching force each
year.
For the coming year, 13 teachers
have been engaged, representing the
very best colleges in this ani other
States. Besides the regular course
of study, the school makes special
ty of preparing boys and girls for
college examinations. Large num-
hers of students who have been train
ed here take the examinations for
Winthrop, Clemson and the Citadel
each year, and they have been
eminently successful in securing
scholarships. There has been de-
mand for a school Of this nature in
the State for long time, and Or
angeburg naturally feels proud Of
it. President Peterson says the
prospects for the school were never
brighter than they ere for the fall
session. He receives numbers of-re-
quests for catalogues and informa-
tion each day.
The boarding capacity of the
school is 150,, 70 girls and 80 boys.
The total enrolment for the past
session was 220, which includes the
town patronage. The latter is new
er very large owing to the fact that
Orangeburg has one Of the finest
systems of graded schools in the
State, and tuition is free there for
students in the city

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What is Causing the Increase o
Catarrh in Orangcburg?

Catarrn Ill OfanScDurS
Catarrhal troubles are increasing,
not only in Orangeburg but all over
the country
eCatarrh is a germ disease and, to
cure it, germ life in the nose, throat
and lungs must be destroyed, and
this can be done only by breathing
Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablet or liquid mixtures whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the hor-
rors Of catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocker
inhaler that comes with every out
fit, it's healing balsams penetrate the
most remote air cells, destroying
the catarrhal germs so that quick
recovery follows. The complete out
fit costs but S1.00, and Dr.. J. G.
Wanlamaker Mfg. Co., agrees to re-
fund the money should Hyomei fail
to do all that is claimed for it..

MONEY NEEDED.
THE DEMoCRACY's CALL TO THE
PEOPLE.
Every Democrat in Orangeburg Coun-
ty Should Help in the Fight For
Good Government.

AS we stated in our Fridays issue
Mr.. Bryan has issued a call to the
Democratic newspapers of the United
States to solicit funds for Democra-
tic campaign expenses. The Times
and Democrat takes, pleasure in in
viting Democrats of Orangeburg
County to respond to that call. Con-
tributions from individuals, large or
small, will be received by this paper
and acknowledged and forwarded to
the proper authorities.
The suggestion that this call be
made upon Tie Democratic press of
the country came to Mr.. Bryan from
South Carolina, and it seems to us
| peculiarly appropriate that the press
of the South and the people of the
South should heartily support the
movement.
The State says the forces oppos-
ed to Democracy, as reflected in the
Denver platform, control nine-tentns
Of the newspapers of the great cities.
The same influences exercises warp
ing pressure upon the news-gathering
and news-disseminating associations
of the country. The result is
that the Democratic party can hope
for but little friendly cooperation
from those papers that are only De
nlocratic" when the Democratic plat
form and those that stand upon it,
lean toward Republicanism."
Is not this the occasion for the
newspapers Of the South, true to
their section. true to their party and
true to themselves, to rally to the
party and endeavor to counteract the
traitorous defections elsewhere? And
as the metropolitan newspapers have
definitely refused to enlist in a great
popular fight against corruption in
politics and predatory dishonesty in
business, is it not more incumbent
upon the Southern newspapers
daily and weekly-that are nearer
the lives Of the people to give De-
mocracy aggressive support?
And what of the obligation of
the people of the South? We had
our dark days during "Reconstruc-
tion"-the darkness made possible
by Republican rule, and that was
only dispelled by the light of De-
mocracy-but for thirty years the
Southern States have had fair poll
tical sailing. Here, whatever honors
and emoluments there are in politics
go to Democrats. To support Demo
cracy in the South is not costly; it
requires no sacrifice. How different
in most of the States of the East and
West, where a Democrat is in a per-
petual minority, and stands for his
principles at the cost of hope of poll
tical preferment!
''It is true that the South gives
her electoral votes to the party of
the people, but only stout fighting
and continued fighting by Democrats
of other sections makes national vic
tory possible Should not Southern
Democrats enter in earnest into the
thick of the fight and aid their party
by contributing to the full extent of
their ability the financial sinews SO
urgently needed?" The Times. and
Democrat hopes that every Democrat
in Orangeburg County will make a
contribution to the cause. The De-
mocracy has to depend on the people
for money to run their campaign
and they should respond IS literally

NEGRO WOMAN SHOT.
On Sunday Morning Near the, Coast
Line Depot.

On Sunday morning about three
O'Clock a negro woman by the name
of Julia Salley was shot by q negro
man named Anderson Badey at her
home in Wannamaker Court near
the Atlantic Coast Line Depot. 1t
seems that Badey tried to get in the
house, but the woman would not let
him in. He then slipped around and
shot her through the window.
The woman is in a serious condition.
Badey made his escape and is still at
large.
Badey is pretty notorious charac-
ter and has served on the chain
gang several times. Some years ago
when locked up in the guard house
at Cope he attempted to escape by
burning his way out.
