Camden an aa Ideal Tourtyt Ke
iwrt '
We +.hink that Camden has this
season proved her superiority
over uny other point in the south
as a winter resort for all who are
m search of health, recreation,
or the pursuit of Mammon. This
is the general verdict by our
northern visitors, and we are
glad to say that quite a number
of them have insured their lives
tor one year longer by placing a
yearly subscription with The
People. This is as it should be,
but we have room on our sub
scription book for several more
subscribers in the northern and
northwestern States.
Married.
On April 27tb, by Rev. M. P.
Dukes, near Ridgeway, Mr. Eu
clid H. Bowen and Miss Sula J.
Cooper, at the home of the
bride's mother, Mrs. Bessie
Cooper. The bride is one of
Fairfield's most charming young:
ladies, and the groom is one of
Kershaw's most enterprising
young men. The ceremony was
performed in the presence
of many relatives and friends.
The bride and groom were the
recipients ' of many costly pre
sents. After the marriage, Mr.
and Mrs. Bowen left on a short
tour, and returned to the home
of the groom's parents, Dr. and
Mrs. A. H. Bowen, where they
were met by many relatives
and friends, and partook of their
hospitality. The groom has a
nice home prepared for his t>ride,
and we wish them much success
and happiness. A Friend.

County Convention.
The county convention of the
Democratic party met at the
Court House in Camden on Mon
day with a fairly full delegation
from the various clubs present.
The following officers were
elected:
Hon. M. L. Smith, President;
Messrs. J. T. Hay, and T. J.
Kirkland, Vice-Presidents; C.
W. Birchmore, Secretary; and
W. L. McDowell, Treasurer.
Hou. J. G. Richards was re
elected a member of the Stata
Executive Committee. The elec
tion of delegates to the State
Convention theu being in order,
the following delegates were
elected: Hon. M. L. Smith, J. T.
Hay, D. M. Betliune, L. L. Cly
burc, 6. W. Mosely and \V. R.
Hough.
In the interim of counting the
votes a rather amusing and, to
some, an instructive argument
was indulged 'iu between Mr. T.
,T. Kirkland and the editor of
this paper on the court house
proposition, Mr. Kirkland speak
ing in favor of the boud issue of
$-5,000 and the editor against it.
We do not care to bias the opin
ion of any one iu this report on
the question, as it would not be
fair, but we will say that all you
find in other columns of the pa
per on the subject was written
and put in type before the meet
ing of the Convention, which is'
proof positive that the argument
as indulged In by our friend and
curself at the convention had
nothing to do with our editorial
utterances.
At tlie close of tho regular
convention, th? Executive Com
mittee was called together, and
Hon. M. L. Smith was elected
Chairman, and W. L. McDowell
Secretary.
Before closing this report, we
want to congratulate Kershaw
county on having at the head of
its Democratic affairs a man who
can expedite more business
to the square inch in shorter
time than any other Chairman
whom we ever .saw. Il'irrah for
Smith!

Wo. missed the reunion nt. Be
thune of Camp Anpus McLaurin
because of the natural cussed
ness of the railroad. Tim S. A.
L. Thoso letters indicate that
Mie's .11 ways /.ate, and she gen
erally is, beintf about two hours
late yu the morning preceding
this meeting, and on tnnurneral>lc
instances before. This bein# a
special occasion, however, and
we beinjr a little late, she was on
time and we jrot left. From our
social reporter, however, we
leather the following facts, which
in ay bv of interest to our readers.
Our space does not admit of as
extended a report as we perhaps
would have pi veil you had we
been on the ground, but we think
i thai you c:ui wither the main
facts and puess the rest. The
old vets, lined up about eleven
o'clock, and headed by the pu
pils of the Methane irraded ochool I
marched? to the school house,!
where the exercises were opened
with prayer by the Uev. T. A.
Myers. The pupils ot the school
then rendered with much effect
the son ? "Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground."
lion. W, D. Trftntham had
ljeen selected this year as the
orator of the d&y but he
was unavoidedly prevent
ed from attending because of
press of business uud sickness in
j the family. There was no scf>re
Jity of Fpvakers j&ough ft he
candidates were out in force and
were wry much pleased to have
an opportunity of addressing the
??dear people/' so after a short
address of welcome by Intendant
! G. S. King, the large audience
was treated to three rousing
speeches by Capt. Geo. R. Rem
berfc and Mr. Geo. P. * Logan, of
Richland, and Mr. Geo. B. Tim
merman, of Lexington, ail of
Yi'hom are candidate for Solici
tor. The speeches wore very
prettily tntersporsed with songs
by the pupils of the school.
The great feature of the occa
sion was the presentation of a
gold locket by his old comrades
to their venerat le first captain,
Dr. B. S. Lucas. On one side of
the locket are engraved the
words, "Capt. B. S. L.t" and on
the other, ?*Te Amain us," which
being interpreted is said to mean
"W$ love you." Capt. M, L.
Smith delivered the locket and
made the presentation speech,
a masterly effort, said to have
been the best he ever made, but
the subjcct was an inspiring one
so there was no cause for won*
der at Mr. Smith's eloquence.
This closed the regular exer
cises, dinner being in order, and
our mouth even now waters at
the vivid description given of
its excellence by Dave Dixon,
one of the best judges of such
things that we ever saw. Some
people <would think that that
would have put a stop to the.
speaking, for when a fellow is
full of the good things of life he
usually likes to stretch out and
take it easy, but that crowd at
Bethuno were not built that way.
During the evening and at
niglit the Rev. S. D. Bailey,
Rev. T. A. Myers, Mr. D. P. C
Murchison (Cousin Tuck), Uncle
Joseph West, Mr. Joel Hough
and Col. L. C. Hough kept the
visitors aud others well enter
tained.
Taken all in all, it was the
very best reunion that Camp Au
gus McLaurin has had, and thev
promise to make it. better each
year until all the old veteraus of
the community have crossed the
great divide, and are relating
their txperiences here to those
who have pone before.
Our pood friends, Messrs. D.
M. Bethune, Dan McLaurin and
J. B. Morris were in their ele
ment, as they are never so hap
py as when dispensing hospital
ity. We single these three gen
tlemen for special mention be
cause of the fact that they had
special opportunities, and not
because others did not do all that
could be expected or desired of
them.
Sam imd Jnkc.
These mokes seem always to be

Mr. D. M. Bethune attended
the convention on Monday. He
and ourselves were much in
evidence but only for a fow
moments.
Capt. J. V. Welsh lightened
our heart and increased the
weight of our pocket-book on
Monday. Come many more and
do likewise.
Col. W. A. Neal, well known

Mrs. J. H. Clarke. Miss Orr is

days.
Mr. J. K- Jones of Lugoff was
a more or less interested listener
to our more or less brilliant ef
fort at speocli-making in tho
Court House on Monday. Cousin
John and ourselves stand in, we
think.
Among tlio ardent advocates
of a new court house we met the
other day, Mr, , but as
it happened ho did not know the
circumstances, and was easilv
convinced that we are right in
the matter.
Sheriff Smith and Supervisor
Durant, of Lee County, were in
the city on Tuesday. We did
not have the pleasure of meeting
them, but learn that they wore
here on business connected with
joint county affairs.
Mr. T. S. Myers, of Chora w
spent u couple of days with us
this week. "Buster" looked us
natural as ever and reports busi

The convention generally was
disappointed in not having with
it this tune, General J, Walker
Floyd. We were especially dis
appointed for we wanted the
general to help us out in our re
marks ou tho Court houso.
Tho familiar countenance of
our friend, Mr. N. A. Beth line
was not seen in convention hall
on Monday. Business before
pleasure is a good motto, and we
guess the living up to it was the
cause of Mr. Bothune's absence.
Col. D. J. Griffith, State Su
perintendent of the Penitentiary,
was in the city yesterday. lie
was accompanied by Dr. J. E.
Heise, State physician to the
same institution. They were on

One of our old stand-bys, Bro.
K. W. Hammond of Bethune was
conspicuous by his absence on
convention day. This will not
do, Wesley. The country may
bo able to get along after a fash
ion without us, but will sure go
to the ? bow wows without you.
We were glad to see so many
business men in the convention
on Monday, noticeably Mr. II. (i.
Garrison. This is as it should
be. Too many of our business
men think that they have no
time to devote to politics, when
as a matter of fact, they are
more largely interested than any
other class of our citizuu*.
?We had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. J/D. Morris, of Bethune,
on Monday. Mr. Morris is a
hustler and a tine fellow.' His
special hobby just now is the

at that place.
