WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, D?7?.
Lorcni of fine candies can find a good
assortment at the Store of Mr. Roberta,
pure and Cheap.
James Jenkinsh is erected a*meat Stall |
alongside the store ot Mr. F. W. Schcper
for the accomodation of those *>f our |
citizens who are too lazy to walk up to j
the market. We hope its gr.nU ad van- ,
tmres will Ik? dulv aDOteciated.
A collision between two bum-boats in '
the river l*^t Sunday p it one of theut o it j
of commission. The occupants of the
weaker Teasel were fls' eJ out of the river j
leaving for the drum fl-Ii a choice assort -!
mcnt of Port Royal pies and things.
Mr. E. A. Scheptr returned from New
York last week, where he had gone to lay
in Ms Summer stock of goods, and reports
trade there very dull and goods ;
extremely low. As usual he astonishes {
the natives by his very extensive pur- I
chases, but somehow he manages to get!
rid of his stock before the season closes, j
l)rum fish might as well emigrate to J
some other part of the country as they j
are a nuisance here. Fish weighing fifty I
to sixty pounds were sold last week for 1
fifteen cents and the unsold ones j
contributed their shure to other scents
before the owners could Bfe made to
throw tlmrn ntrow
I
In the United State* Court tn Charleston
on Monday, Mr. Lockwnod, agent tor
the Freedmans Bank, obtained a judgment
against D. McPhersou for $3,357.
The auit was based on an acceptance by
Mr. McPherton of Aldcn & Waters drafts,
to be paid out of the proceeds of certain
cotton held by the defendant.
It takrs a Boston woman to get the
l?est of our Governor. A committee of,
Indies from that city caned Mr. Clinm
Ijcrtain last week, and he seemed to
enjoy it very much. The stick is from
a famed tree in Lexington and hand
somdy mounted.
The citizens of Georgia, in Augusta
and beyond, arc making arrangement for 1
a grand excursion to Port Royal. The !
train will It-are Augusta on May 4, !
nrnring at Port Royal at 5. a. if. on the \
morning of the 5th. A steamer will j
meet the excursionists at Port Royal
and give them an opportunity to sea the!
- vessels in the harbor. As the fare from
Augusta and return including fare on the
* steamer is only $2,50 the projectors of
the enterprise anticipate a large crowd.
The position of such papers as Robert
Small1* Standard, and the Williamsburg
Republican, SwaiPs paper, is delicate in
the extreme. The former paper has not
a word of commonton the recent convention,
and in the latter it is not mentioned
after recently announcing its advocacy
~ of the reelection ot Mr. Chamberlain, j
The trouble with these parasitical sheets i
is that they are bound to be on the win '
1 ning side, and it is as yet uncertain on
which of the fence it is saftest to jump
and so they are like the General Conftr..
. - once of the Methodist Church in 1800,
when urged to pass an anti-slavery resolution.
they got on the fence and resolved
to "Wait and see the glory of th
Lord."
The citizens of Savannah are stiil
working to secure the establishment of a
naval station in Georgia waters. On
Thursday last, in- the United 9tate?
ocnaie, senator Norwood submitted a resolution,
which was agreed to, directing
the secretary of the navy to furnish the
Senate with an estimate of the cost of
establishing a depot for naval supplies
sod a naval station on the government
la:.d on Tyb?e island anil Cock spur
Is and, G nrgia.
Such ni rprise i i':.'i --exuibit
iu irun-; t> s cire ti n?vy u> rii
HU'-c ss, and we are >rry. r lien th?
their work is vain, but Port Royal is thonly
place that can give th - a'tcona u >dations
necessary lb* the fleet. It is
doubtlul now if even the monitors go
to Savannah, as was intended, owing ,
to the unhealthfulneas of *he river during
the summer months.
We flud the following letter from a
resident ot Lawtonville, in our county, in
the Charleston News. "The consequences
of the short crop, which resulted from
the excessivo drought of last year, are
now seriously felt in our midst. Hard
times are emphatically upon us, and
number* of our citizens, accustomed to
every luxury wmcn amuence could supply,
now find it difficult to procure even
the noccssariep of life. This has already
produced one important result, as the
moat of our planters see the error of
devoting their entire brain energy and
capital in the production of cotton,
while, with an occasional and isolated
exception, the provision crop* were j
ignored. An activity truly surprising 1
baa been developed by the t-tringency of
the times which, with the abundant
labor now easily commanded, has resulted
in the thorough preparation of planting
lands. The corn crop is up, and with
fair seasons gives promise of an abundei;t
yield. Cotton f? now being planted,
epd formers seviu determined to make
' , ?2 4
. >&*< tlsMTlUTi
up the differences in the number ol acres |
by a most caicful preparation. '
In evidence of the extreme wan' to '
which the colored population especially 4
are subjected, the trial justices arc busy a
hearing cases of petit larceny. Cows, 8
hogs and sheep arc appropriated without '
ceremony, and it now seems that a rcsi- 1
dence of thirty days in the county jail >is
a God-send to some, as it promises
fond for tlint space of time with nothing
to do. On the night of the loth instant,
H. II Peeples's store was entered by n
party of burglars by breaking through, n
window, and goods abstracted to *h?? I
necessary, be braced up, and are thus out
of the way. Ijjivc of these crate cars can
be p'aced on one platform car, and can
thus l?e carried entirely through to New
York or other points without change, I
the necessity of a'tering trucks being
avoided. Thus a shipper can fill one p
or more of tlieaj eats, lock it or them,
and have the consciousness of knowing
tnat it will remain so until it roaches its (
destination. They are neat, compact j
and the very thing that is required, rh
every shipper who has seen them admits.
The introduction of these cars on the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad
should have the effect of increasing their
businc-s in- this line largely, and we
doubt not that such will be the case.
Whilst at the dopot we also examined
a fine passenger coach recently construe .
ted at the shops in Charleston for this
road, which is very handsomely finished,
and constructed in a style that will T
compare favorably with similar coaches tc
of Northern build. The sleeping coach- tl
eson this road-ono to Charleston and
the other to Augusla-may indeed l>e
termed modern palaces, their interiors
being gems ofexquisito finish.
'1 he equipment of the road now is
much belter than it has l??en for some 01
years since the war, ancl the business of
the iinc shows a very gratifying in j
crease." J d

Amount of from three to five hundred i
dollars, most of which has bee.i since

On the 7th instant a few of our inftu |
ential citizens assembled at this place , w
and proceeded to organize the first Dem- !
ocrntic club we huva heard of in the!,
county. Many having enrolled them- r
Ives. Dr. J. H. Ruddell was elected
president. An executive committee, con
sisting of five of our best citixcns, was
appointed, with Mr. John Morriaon as | h
chairman. Appropriate speeches were J c
made by Col. Colcock, Rcr. Mr. Bostick j *
and others. This seems to be a more in a
i
the proper direction, and we trust that j t!
every effort to relieve us from the op- | cl
pressions of the rule under which we labor
may meet with merited success." ai
Shippers of fruit by rail can now be ,v
accommodated with fruit, cars such as p
arc used in the North. The Savannah c<
News says of them:
"These cars, for the transportation of
strawberries, peaches, &c., were foi- h
warded to the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad from Wilmington, Delaware.
They are conducted on the plan of regular
stock cars, being entirely open, und
about 170 cubic feet square, witli the
capacity for holding 100 bushel packages.
They are mounted on low wheels, and are
provided with tongues whioh
