Saturday, Aug, 20. ? - ' A Correction . In our issue of the 4th inst, i. "we stated that Col. P. M. Mixson of Columbia represented Silver Brook corn whiskey. This was an error a^ "The Old Colonel" really represented Deep Spring Rye and Silver Spring corn. The difference is slight though, as it is said any of it will make come if you drink enough \ of it. &, Married. On tho night of August 11th, -'Wttlie residence of Mr. John El liott, near Cassatt, by Rev. W. H Joyuer, Mr. C. U, Myers was ^uppily united in the bonds of matrimony to Mi?s Mattio Huck *bee, a sister-in-law of Mr. Eh liott. This is a union of hearts and hands in which we feel pe culiar and genuine interest, the parties and their entire families being warm and particular friends, so we wish them most * cordially a long and happy life, with the fewest of theffew stormy passages that are said to be set the matrimonial bark in its voyage to the goal. Hnil to tint Chief. We have been informed that our fellow townsman, Mr. L. L. lilock. while on his recent visit to the west and elsewhere, re newed bis acquaintanceship with the world-famous Boer. general, Cronje, and secured his promise to pay Camden a visit in the] near future, as his (Mr. Block's) guest. This is all very well, but we throw out the suggestion that Gen. Crouje be made the city's guest, a reception commit tee appointed, and a banouet tendered to this, one of the most distinguished figures of modern times, at which tho freedom 6f the city, together with its keys, be extended to hnn in orthodox fashion. It is not often that we have the opportunity tir> pay due homage to true merit and great ness, and when the same does present itself, it is our duty to not only embrace, V ut to actual ly hug it. Mr. Block will, we hope, keep us fully informed on this important matter. First Open lloll. Captain C. P. Lorick on Can tey enjoys the distinction this year of having the first co*.ton blossom, and now he climbs one rouud higher up the ladder of fame by sending in to The Peo ple the first oi>en boll. If our friend contiuues to do this kind of thing, perhaps the next we hear of him will be, th:it he has sold the first bule. The fully ottened boll sent to us was pluckea from one of Captain Lorick's fields on August 14th. We are always glad to record incidents like the above, and hope to vary the tenor of them ?0011 by being the first to an nounce the intention of the gal lant Captain to run his farm next year in double harness. Wo are great on tying and writ ing contracts of that nature, with W. ft. Piuckuey, a good second. Sudden Death. On last Saturday morning, the entire cofflmiinity was shock ed and grieved la learn of the , death by appoplexy of Mr. S. B. i Latham at hi* stables on Main street. We learn that he was sittiug in bis Chair In the alley way of the stables, reading the morn tag* paper, wlieu without a note of warning, the grim de stroyer claimed him as his own, and the great mystery was to Samued B. Latnam a mystery no longer. Mr. Latham was a native of Norih Carolina, but came to Cam den about the year 1873. Al most from the first, his sterling qualities of head and heart were recognised, and he speedily as sumed a high place in the esti mation of all with whom he came in contact., a olace that was nev er vacated up to the date of the fatal Saturday that filled a con munity with gloom, and carried sorrow unutterable to the hearts of a devoted wife and eight sur viving children. The funeral services were conducted at the Camden Methodist Church by the Kev. J. J. Workman on Bun day evening, and the remains followed to the grave by at least one thousand sorrowing friends and relatives of ttie decased and family. -? Mr. Latham was an earnest Mason; with all that that implies, and lie was tenderly lowered in to his long resting place by brothers of the craft to ?he ac companiment of the* beautiful burial ceremony of that ancient and honorable order. Truly hath Camden lost a faithful friend, the widow' and children a fond and devoted hus band and father, and the world, a man. Death. Mrs. Charity Barnes, who lived about four miles from <Be thune, died last night after a long and painful illness, Mrs. Barnes was 72 years old in May, and was a good Christian woman. No one ever went to hdrfor help and left empty-handed. She was the mother of Miss, D. W. and D. M. Barnes.' Our sympa thy is exten<ie4 to the bereaved family. Those Blank Applications. We regret to say that a very few of our friends have made use of the blank applications for subscription which we sent out last week. There, is nothing more unpleasant to us than to have toy^ill renewed attention to this little matter, but necessi ty knows no law, and if any newspaper has ever been suc cessfully run without money, it cprtuinly unist be a more onery one than The People. Save Tlie People. ? We think it a good idea to ad vise our readers to preserve ev ery copy of this paper. Within a year, you will have a mine of useful information on almost ev ery subject that cannot but at one time or another fail to be of vaiue to you. Our agricultural and horticultural columns are alone worth many times the price of subscription, while there is not a single column that does not contain some matter of an interesting nature. . Attend The Meeting. All who can, suouiu attend the meeting of the Democracy at Hampton Park on Saturday. It will mark the close of the campaign, and nearly all the speakers are worth listening to. We have heen a bit of a j>olitician ourself ihl.h$( and say with triith that we nave this year the finest aggregation of speakers that we have ever seen grouped on one stump. It is especially desired that the ladies atteAu this meeting. Nothing wjll be said to grate on the most refined ! taste while there will be much to interest and instruct. lu Explanation. A certain friend anil subscriber nt Catarrh writ* s im somewhat indignant ly to ascertain what we meant when we, in n personal mention of him in our Issue of August 4tli, Mated that "from rppearances, we should not noon' tie called upon to pay his insurance policy." Wo n.eaiit exactly what we ?aid, as this partieular subscriber seemed to be enjoying the most ro bust. health, and our standing offer to subscribers generally in to "subscribe to 'Vtie People and we will inaure your life for one year/' or ax long as you keep up your doe* to the paper. In other word*, if you die within the year, and call on us for your money back, you get it. This is a simple proposition, easily understood, and we hope our friend at Catarrh will bo entirely satisfied. We further hope that our Hiriuise a* con tained in the original personal will be vended.

Alexander was ri ding his wheel down upper Main street near the LaFayette Hall pro]?erty on Tuesday morning, the wheel came in contact with an electric light wire that had just been dragged near the ground, by the felling of a tree. The Doctor was thrown violent' ly to the ground, the point of hia hip striking a projecting stone on the pavement, causing a se rious und painful accident. It is feared that the hip bone is either broken or crushed in. At last accounts ho was sutfering ex treme pain. The earnest wishes of the entire community go out te him and his family that he may secure speody relief from pain and a quick restoration to health from his injuries. W. R. PIIMCKNEY, NOTARY PUBLIC.

We always enjoy a trip to Wastville?>ait was ifac there that w? speat %he earner years of oar life, awl* we IIMP and like everybody there, so It was natu ral tha* w* bad a good time on laet Sola relay. I We went up to attend the Democratic primary meeting, and have no rejrwto ^stealing a few hours from w4A on the paper to listen to Some, very tiue speaking. The public, genenil ly.' is familiar with theaamcs b|j all the candidates, so-ij^is souive ly necessary for us to ,|dv? the( names of all the speakers. Yfe may mention the moil9 notable! however, briefly., ? As very considerable interest is being evinced in the race for Sheriff, we may say that Cupt. Jas. L. Haile, and Mr. W. W. Huckabee contented themselves 1 with a simple announcement of their candidacy. Messrs. Wil liams and Trafitliam' went more into detail, Mr.^Wilrtatos'strong ly resenting the charge of bolt ing in 1900, claiming that lie was the rightful nominee of the Democratic |>arty then, the ex ecutive committee to the contra ry, notwithstanding, and as such acted strictly witlnu his rights) in making the race in the gen eral election. Mr. TVanthaui fol lowed in a good speech, into which ho injected some now mat ter, but nothing of a nature to cause strained feeling in the au dience. The race for Auditor is a very pretty one betw*3en the three can didates for the position, and the j outcome is looked forward to| with interest ? Messrs. McCaskiU-and D. K. Hough have nothing to feel ashamed of us orators. Mr. W. I F. Malone, the third candidate { for Treasurer, waa not able to | attapd the mooting,' Bach to the regret of his many friends who would have:liked to have heard him measure his tougueful sword against those of Mc/and Dan. Messrs. Dixon, ,$owell and Pearce. candidates for County Supervisor, held ths undivided atteution of the audience, who, if they did not learn anything new lrom the remarks of these gentlemen, have no one but themselves to blame. We could not avoid thinking when Messrs. Turner and Watts were shak ing, that while either qf the two will make a good Superintendent of Education, the ^ Democratic National Committee Should have both engaged as spell-binders in doubtful States in,'$o Parker Roosevelt campaign -.now open ing. "? ' ? ? We will not give, extended mention to. the . Speeches of Messrs. Joel. Hough and G* W. Moseley, candidates for Oletk of Court. Mr. Mosele^' was very emphatic in his assertion that a term of twelve years in one office should satisfy the average Dem ocrat, who ought to be willing, after having been hortored that leugtU of time, to sii-^.down and make room for others perhaps equally capable and competent. Mr. Hou%'h,(in rejoinder,, assert ed that the office was one that was strictly and entirety in the] hands of the people, to. do with as they pleased, and that if they pleased to re>eleet him- to serve a fourth term,' It was entirely within their. provinee'{;to do so. That this rotation business was a back number, and lie, for his part did not care to rake- over old straw any more. There were other .speakers, notably Messrs. Williams and Pinley, for Congress; Mr, Mur eliison, for Coroner*, and Hon. John G. Richards for the Legis lature, all of whom made line addresses, but really time and spaco does not admit of other mention. We left the stand at 1 o'clock, catching the down pas senger, returning to the city a wiser and happier man for the short recreation from labor.
