He has been delayed longer than anticipated, but uow that he has com- < meuced his journey, it will not be many daj9 before he appears in our midst. ( Sales ox Monday.?The good effect of ] the season and money which is afloat, was i felt last Monday, in the high prices which \ were brought by property sold on that day. t Wm D. MqDowall, agent of Vfw. John- i son's Estate, sold the town lots of that es- i tate on' which were a dwelling and three i stores, to Mrs. F. P. DePass, for $3,460.00. i The Daash House, on Rutledge street, I was purchased by Minton G. Huckabee, for tritotor ^ Capt. T. H. Clarke purchased a tract of j the Chesnut lands, containing 230 acres, for $1,200.00. . The Richardson lands,., sold in several . tracts, to suit purchasers, broueht from $1.50 to $4.20 per acre, the sale amounting $1,627.00. ( The Moseley Tract, of seventy acres, be- | longing to the assigned estate of McDonald & McCurry, brought $150.00. Purchased by Mr. John G. Wootcu. Another tract of the Chesnut land, con- ' tainiog 285 acrca, was bid in by the Receii vers of that estate at $1,100. L The Cunningham house, sold under mortV bid 1" ^ *be trustee of mortgagee, r at a merely nominal figure. The attendance at the sale was not large, ; but the bidding was very spirited, and the price* at which property sold, gave much satisfaction to those interested. Improvimxnts iw Progress.?Capt. W. L. DePaas has begun operations on the eor Mr, Where what waa the Kershaw House ... 9 ' Bow il, with the intention of making it one of the most attractive business resorts in town. n His intention is to erect four stores, front, ing on Broad street, twenty-one feet wide by one hundred deep. The fronts are to be in eity style, with many of the latest improvein ints for light, ventilation and soon. The internal arrangements are to correspond with the external, and we would not be surprised if he succeeds in making what he designs. The Orphans.?The authorities of the South Carolina Orphan's Home have contracted for tho purchase of suitable buildings, for the sum of $8,000.00; and cull upon our people to raise their quota, $250.00, towards it payment. Contributions will be gratefully received, and uiav be handed to Gen. Kershaw, one * of the Board of Visitors. \ Mr. W. J. Ab&ants?This well known gentleman has returned to the house of R. C. Shiver & Co., and can be found in the ' wholesale and retail dry goods department. * ' Prxsent Thxm.?All claims against the County, are required to be presented on or before Monday next. When they will be paid is another matter. Thk Carolina Line Insuranox Comw pant.?A letter from Gn. Hampton, dated October 31, authorizes the statement that the loss of this Company by the failure of j the Savings Bank of Memphis was very flight, and will pat the Company to no inOOtvsnience. fy. A Fiendish Act?Gin House ani Mill Buknkd.?On last Friday morning about daylight or a little after, a fire vac discovered 'n the lagre three story gin house of Mr. Thos. TV. Lang on the woit side di Watcree River. Tho gin house was used jointly by Messrs. Theodore and T. W. Lang, and oontsined at the time of the fire about thirty-seven balosof cotton, fifteen of which were lint; one thousand bushels of cotton seed and extensive machinery for ginning cotton and threshing rice. It scorns that when the house was opened the interior was on fire to such an extent that it was impossible to outer, and {consequently nothing was saved, except a few bushels of cotton seed next to the mill race,* and about a bale of staiued cotton. The mill adjoining the gin house also caught fire and burned almost to the water's edge. Of the cotton burned, Mr. Theo. Lang loses about fifteen bales, and Mr. Tboe. W. twenty-two. Mr. T. W. Lang states that he was present nnd saw the gin house locked on Thursday night, and no fire was used about the premises. Several of his hands passed on their way to the field, only a few minutes before the fire was discovered, and one of them wont around the house looking for a basket in which to place cotton, but he i neither saw nor smelt any fire. The people on his place owned a fourth of what was in the gin house, so that it is not conceivable that they had anything to do with sotting it on fire. The "spontaneous combustion" theory prevails to some extent, as the cuuse, and others attribute it to the peculiar fondness which rats have for gnawing the phosphorus, &c., on matches, while others again, believe that it was tho work of an incendiary, in which belief we coincide. There is, however, no one at present to ivhom suspicion attaches. It is probable ihat a heavy robbery was committed and the tiouBe fired to conceal it. The loss will amount to not less than nine thousand dollars, and there was no insurance apon the premises. This is the fourth case of gin houses being burnt in this county this season, and it oehnnvnn overv one to keen a sham lookout " J " r ? ipon the fruits of their year's labors. We tender onr siucere sympathy to our ifflicted friends. The Election.?We had long since givin up the idea that the election day would iring forth anything worthy of the reporter's lotice or that of the publio. Beyond the crowd isually collected upon such an occasion, ;here was absolutely nothing to excite eomnent, except the total lack of exeitement xhich prevailed during the day. We are iot able, without delaying our issue too long, o give the vote of the County this week, out wc will present it in our next. The vote in Camden is as follows: Grant Greeley Totil. Market 263* 230 498 Courthouse 723 6 729 Whole number of votes cast 1,227. Of which Grant received 991, Groeley 236. Majority for Grant 755. It is probable that the County will give Grant a majority of from oight hundred to a thousand. Valuable Real Estate For Sale.? By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the real estate of Col. L. W. R. Bluir, containing five thousand acres, more or less, situated on and near Lynches creek, will be sold on the first Monday, the 2nd day, of December next. The land will be divided into tracts saitable for smaller farms and the times, and as soon aa practicable, plate will be on exhibition at the Sheriffs office. Some, infact a large portion of this land, is as good as any in this County. Those who are seeking investments of this character, should not neglect this opportunity. The terms are very easy. " Tn* Fair in Columbia?On Monday last this exhibition was thrown open to ria-' itors, and the displuy is said to exceed any yet made. The usual sideshows are also present, comprising the fat woman, a juggler, i learned pig and many other amusing and I money making arrangements. A large number of our citizens have also gone, and the' .? .1--1 .1._ t>.. prouauuiueB are wiat tun xuir iu u^icsw guv cess. The Orphan's Appeal.?This is tho name of a little sheet publishod monthly by the Local Board of Trustees of the Palmetto Orphan Home, Columbia, S. C. Among the givers to this noble work, we notice that Mr. George C. Lorimer, of Boston, Mass., gave fifty dollars, on tho 23d of October, 1872. Cannot tho entire County of Kershaw give five times that amount for a home institution 1 Gen. Kershaw or Col. Shannon will receive any contributions. The Appeal is sent to subscribers for fifty cents a year, or four cents a month. We will readily receive and forward all subscriptions together with the names of subscribers to the Appeal. " He that hath pity upon the poor, leudtth to the Lord," and look, what he j ycth out shall be paid him again." A Runaway.?On Friday last, a hor? ' *1 XC?V I attaonea 10 A WSgUIl| me pivi nm Benny'* son-in-law, (sufficient distinction, wi i.out any individual name,) conceived the design of trying bow near he could ran tlu wagon to the north portico of the late Kershaw House, without striking it Tho experiment failed, as an experiment, but the bene was eminently successful *iu tearing > down the portico and injuring the wagon and ; himself quite badly. He saved the worki son the trouble of tearing the portico down, t Inasmuch, he was a benefactor. Ku Klux Conspiacy.?We are indebted to Congressman Rainey for copies of tho reports of the majority and Minority Committees or the so-called Ku Klux Conspiacy. A Monstir Okba Stalk ?Capfc Sam'!.
