He is rep resenting The Clipper Manufact uring Co. Solicitor Thurmond is on band this week. Tills, wo sup pose will be lus lust visit to us ?sa Solicitor. What bis future plans are* we do not know, but we wish him success at all times. ^-It is with a feeling of abso lute thankfulluess that we can report Dr. I. H. Alexander as steadily improving. His injury, while serious and desperately disagreeable and paiuful, will we learn not result in permanent disability. ?Capt. S. C. Zemp of the Ker shaw Guards deserves all praise for the promptness with which he assembled the Guards on Sat urday night, and Governor Dun can C. Hey ward all blame for his tardiness in having them sent to the scene of action. ?That particularly lively and energetic commercial tourist, Mr. W. M. Bostwick of 1340, Pickens St. Columbia, S. C. wasl with us last week. Billy ascribes the most of his success as a salesman, and a well-known gen tleman to the fact that The Peo ple gives him so much free ad vertising. ?Master Lexie Geisenheimer I is now at the Charleston College taking a special course of study preparatory to the taking of a complete course in medicine. Lexie is one of a few boys we know who are especially love able and magnetic, and we wish him success. Mr. Sutton Johnson, who happens to be a tirst cousn to The People was with as last week. He is representing an old and well-known house, and we com mend him to our advertisers on the occasion of his next aud sub sequent visits. ?We were particularly pleas ed on Saturday by having the enjoyment of the company of| Bro. .1. J. Myers for several hours in our office. Mr. Myers is a Baptist minister of deserved repute, and we thoroughly en- j joyed his conversation, and our discussion on various subjects, theological and otherwise* Rellgreoii*. The leading featuue of the meetings now being conducted at the Triuity M. E. Church (Colored) in this city, was the great sermon preached by the Rev. W. D. Kins on Sunday night to an audience of more than 1.000. This sermon we learn closed the series of ser mons preached by Rev. King, and it is but fair to congratulate him on the benefit that he lias rendered the regular pastor, whose work will hereafter be much easier than before the ad vent of Rev. King. Our space is too limited to give a detailed account of the great sermon mentioned, but we take occasion fo say that his re marks along the lines, or under the heads of a beautiful home, an ugly home, a i>oor home, busy . people, half-raised clul dre, ministers keeping out of politics, and several others were deeply impressive and cannot fail to do good.

It wasn't uiuch of a hurry cull, however, although Gov. Hey ward put on a whole lot of fuss and feathers over it. See our editorial on the subject and draw your own conclusions. ?Mr. D. Wolfe does not put on many frills, but we note that he has a very pretty line in everything that goes to clothe the outer man. Read his ad. and when calling on him, men tion The People. ?A noisless spring bed has been found by many to be an un mixed blessing. Geiseuheimer has it. See his ad. "The Vic tor. " ?As will be seen by our edito rial, we do not condemn the ac tion of the citizens of Kershaw in doing to death the murderer of Willie Floyd. We think though that we have made our position sufficiently plain in the matter of "the law's deiay" and the undue dilitoriness of action on the part of our chief execu tive. ?In farm supplies, and gener al hardware, Mr. A. D. Kennedy holds the palm. Look him up when in the city. Everything there from a pin tip in hardware, and a hay-rake to a steam plow in farm supplies. ?Hirsch Bros and Co, are certainly making a record this season. In ladies hats, general millinery, and all their lines, from the strictly ornamental to the useful they can surely pleae you. ?Our city council is taking a rest in the building of culverts, bridges and so forth * We sup pose that they must not be blamed as even such tireless bod ies as a Camden city council can not be expected to work at all times witjiout any play. During their play seasons, however, we make the meek suggestion that a little later will be a better time to cutch up on that tired feeling. ?See Nathan Levy's Watch offer. It is taking like wildfire, as is also his Oil Painting offer on #10.00 sales.' ?A spring bed that does not sag is the bed you need. See Mr. Geisenheimer's description of The Victor advertised in this issue. ?Court WAS delayed consider ably on Monday by the non-ar rival of the .fudge. It is unfor tunate that these delays occur, as every time it happeus, it costs the County from fifty to one hundred dollars. It would pay to pay the expenses of a judge a week or so than to have to pay out the money wee oblig ared to pay because ot his failure to turn upon time. ?P. T. Villepigue's (The Gilt Edge) is certuinly doing business. We congratulate ourself that a part of his success is due to his ad. in The People. That fcf>.00 offer is great.

We have been imformed that lie runs the business end of the Gover nor's office at Columbia, and he must havo been most painfully out of place when a lynching, a pet abomination in the eyes of Gov.
