We have no objection to the introduction of reputable patent medicine advertisements in our columns, and after due investi gation, cordially recommend those now running. Box Supper. There will be a box supper at Sandy Grove church Saturday night Oct. 29 about early candle light for church purposes. The public is cordialy invited to at tend. Chronicle and Messenger please copy. Birth. We record with pleasure the delayed announcement of the birth of a fine son to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eichel on October 9th. We hope the little Eichel will grow up into as good a fel low, and as fine a dry goods man as his father. Advertising. If an advertisement in The People is benefitting the adver tiser we are always glad to hear of it. If it (the ad.) is not pay ing, we will be equally glad to hear of it. We do not want a dollar of any man's money for which we no not give value re ceived with interest added. Every reader of the paper who does any trading with any of our advertisers, will confer a spdbtal favor on us' by mentidn ing that he, she or they saw the ad. of the merchant in The Peo ple. At the Opera House. The Lovett aggregation of "Boston Stars" which showed in our opera house on last Wed nesday night was a magnificent performance. No opera com pany that has previously per formed before a Camden audi ence can approach this collection of Staus in excellence in the rendering of the various num bers on their program. The au dience, while not large, was ap preciative, and by nutaerous en cores testified to the fact that a love for good music, well render ed still exists to an at least lim ited extent in the breasts of our citizens. More Cotton Pickert*. The Anderson Mail gives an account of a record-breaking cotton picker in that county. It says: "On Thursday Miss Lizzie Pearman, daughter of Mr. John Pear man of the Honea Path section, a young lady still in her teens, picked 600 pounds of cot ton. This made Miss Pearman's record for the week, up to Thursday night, over 2,200 pounds, or an average of more than 550 pounds per day. On Thursday a young brother of Miss Pearman picked over 500 pounds. This beats all the re cords in Anderson county, so far as anybody knows." In last week's Enterprise ap peared the names of two young men in the Dwight section of Lancaster county, W. A. and Jud Linglo, who in one day to gether picked 1088 pounds, an average of 519 pounds apiece.? Lancaster Enterprise. Farmers Meeting. The meeting of Farmers on last Saturday, called for ,tbe purpose of entering a protest against the edict of our local oot ton buyers that only 0 yards of bagging and 6 ties should be us ed, instead of the customary 0 yards of bagging, was well at tended.
