~CAMDEN S. C.~, MARCH
TJheTown Election.
An election fur town officers will be held
on the first clay of April next. It is essential
that we elect capable and honest men.?
The question is, are all parties ready to discard
politics, and unite on a ticket which
will be acceptable ? The Democrats or Conservatives
are prepared to do so; arc the Republicans
equally prepared? "When the
meeting is held on Monday next, let there
be a full representation of all parties, prepared
to make mutual concessions, and discuss
matters freely, fully and candidly.
During the past year, the town has had
but one serious disturbance of the peace, and
that is now long since past. The debt of
the town has not been increased by a single
dollar, and the council, though divided in
political sentiments, has been singularly harmonious
in its action, and has been unanimous
in nearly every measure which has
been adopted.
Should wo be as fortunate in the future,
wc have nought to fear. Kirkwood has boon
added to Camden by a recent Act of the
legislature, and the duties of the town officer"
will be considerably enlarged. It is therefore
of the greatest importance that the town
council should have capacity and honesty,
and it is the duty of all citizens to use their
utmost endeavors to secure this cud, and wc
urge upon them to attend to this duty, by
discarding politics aud party, and uniting
for this purpose.
liridgc Meeting.
Pursuant to a call by the Chairman of the
Special Commissioners, a meeting was held
at the Town Hall on Saturday, the Oth inst.,
Mr. James M. Davis was called to the chair,
and II. Baum appointed secretary. Col. W.
M. Shanuon explained the object of the
meeting as follows:
JMr. Chairman:?It devolves upon me, as
chairman of the special commission on the
Waterce Bridge, to explain to the citizens
here assembled, the purposes and objects of
this meeting. This I shall briefly do; leaving
to my colleagues of the commission the
pleasant duty of reporting to you, the gratifying
success they have met in their mission
to Charleston, and to the South Carolina
T>-:l PnnmlTlv i 11 hph.llf flf tllis Pfl
XVtUl liuau VVUIJIUUJ , .?* ?V.~. ?
terprizc ? a success none the less gratifying,
that the South Carolina Railroad Company,
in their free, prompt, and efficient aid to us,
are intelligently pursuing the line of their
interest.
The object for the call for this meeting,
then, was:?First: To disarm the prejudice
which exists in the two upper townships
of the county, against the scheme of taxation
laid down 111 the act of ths Legislature,
for the construction of this free bridge?of
course, Sir, 1 use the word prejudice,according
to its true etymology, and not with the
purpose of intimating any narrow, perverted
or selfish view?I mean, Sir, that a prejudgment
has been formed which will not
bear the test of examination. I have conversed
with several friends from these townships,
aud find they are mis informed; they
have not read the act. They supposed that
these two townships furthest removed from
the site of the bridge, were to be equally
taxed with the adjacent townships. This is
not so. Those townships may be taxed one
mill on every dollar of the assessed value of
their property, while the lower townships
arc taxed two mills upon the dollar. The
lower townships :irc more immediately and
directly interested in the bridge, and their
tax is to be double that of the remote townships.
Again, DeKalb and Watercc townships
own more thau two-thirds of the property of
the county, and their taxes constitute more
than two-thirds of the entire taxes of the
county. Therefore, the rate of taxation being
one-half, the upper townships will be |
called upon to contribute only one-sixth of
the cost of construction of the bridge.
Js not this reasonable, just and equitable?
It so happens, that nearly all the large bridges
on the highways in this county, kept up
at public expense, are in those upper townships.
80 tar as I can at this moment recall
them, there are, 1 believe, one across Heaver
creek, two across Granny's Quarter, two
acro.s "Sanders creek, four across Big Lynche's
crcck and five across Littic Lynches
creek; all kept up and long have been kept up,
by taxes of which DeKalb and Watcree townships
pay now two-thirds, and before the
emancipation of slavery, paid a still larger
proportion. Of course, this is to us no subject
of complaint. Government requires
public duties of its citizens, and gives them
public rights. They must come to the county-town
to pay taxes, to serve as jurors and
witnesses, &c.; they have the right to come
to the election precincts to cast their ballots,
in nnnrnnrll the llalis of Justice tO claim tllC
protection of the law and a.?*ort their rights.
They cannot perform these dut^s and enjoy
these rights, unless the streams across
the public highways are bridged where necessary.
And the reciprocal interests of the
rural population and the County Town, require
access to market. The construction
of all those bridges, then, was so patently a
public charge, that we have never heard
any objection to taxation for theEC purposes.
Now DpKalb and Waterec townships, which
pay more than two-thirds of the taxes, being
in a more level country, have not so many
creeks, and they are for the same reason generally
fordable. Now DcKalb ana Watcrce
townships, and the town of Camden, want
the bridge across the Wateree at Camden 1
reconstructed. The people of those town- i
ships want it to facilitate the performance
of their public duties?the enjoyment of their i
public rights?they wish it further to give 1
them ready access to their market town? ]
while the market town appreciates the im- i
portance of giving to its customers that access.
I
What claim have they that this bridge be ]
built at the public charge ? The answer is )
patent. The same that builds the bridges i
across every stream across the highways in
the uprer townships, where tho passage is
difficult, or might he dangerous.
For one hundred years, this highway
a^r< ss tho Waterec river at Camden has been
kept up without cost to the people, of the
upper townships; by the euergy and at the
cost of individuals resident within the territory
now embraced within DeKalb and Waterec
townships.
The ferry existed before that period, but
in 1785 Chartered rights were vested in tho
proprietors, as "tenants in common," not as
"joint tenants." Joseph Kershaw who owned
at that time the West bank of the river,
where tradition tells us the village of"Westcrham'
was located, and "William "Wiley,
who owned the Fast bank. From thai day
to this "The Camden Ferry Company,"
or "The Camden Bridge Company," have
kept up the crossing. In 1828 the "Camden |
Bridge" was built by private enterprise, and |
has been kept up by the same parties ever
since. .Not by parties, as is supposed, interested
in the adjacent plantations, but by
those persons, aided by merchants and other
citizens of the town of Camden, these latter
persons furnishing perhaps half the stock
and guided by no motives of direct profit,
but by patriotism and a desire to build up
the market town. When a freshet would
destroy one bridge, they would build another;
but at length Sherman burned the
bridge, and the war and its results have
bankrupted all these people, and they are
unable to rebuild the bridge, while the publie
require it more than ever, for a larger
population use the ferry than ever before.?
The public must build the bridge or do without
it; private means cannot do it. Now, after
the consideration of all these points, is it
unreasonable toask the upper townships who
own one-third of the property of the county,
and pay near one-third of the taxes, to aid j
us a little in the matter, and after all these
years of aid from DcKalband Watcrce without
return, pay one-sixth of the amount re-1
quired and we will pay the other five-sixths. |
The bridges in the upper townships now j
need repair (some rebuilding,) from the ef-1
fects of recent freshets, and two-thirds of the j
expense falls on DcKalb and Wateree town'

heard. The subject of taxation, pi}' friends,
is much talked of bow, but the great motive
of complain*, really, is not the am unit of
taxation, but the entire misapplication of the
taxes. Taxes are heavy, but if dry were (
used in support of good government and in i
reducing an honest debt, we would have no j
right to complain. In this scheme all this
is protected. The money can be used but
for the public good, and will be collected and
disbursed without expense.
Second: The next object of this call was
to ascertain to what c.xtcntourcitiz#s would
subscribe for the bonds provided in the act.
Now. it is not for mc to dictate to any one
their duty in this matter. Our ability, interests
and patriotism must furnish the guide, j
I, with each of you, am interested only as a j
citizen. I own no property on the West of
the Wateree. I find myself a member of
this commission mostrcluctantl}*. I never was
consulted about the details of the act, never
saw it or knew anything of its contents, until
after the commission was organized. I
greatly desired to decline the position, for I (
have neither the time nor the inclination for j
the work, but I felt that I might be of service
there, as I am known to have no inter- I
-- . t!
est otner man is common 10 every cuizen. ?
am committed to no scheme, am a partizan
of no view of the question; am a trustee faithfully
to carry out the work of building the i
bridge if possible, and equally a trustee to
guard the interests of the tax-payers, and to
build it at as light a burden to them as possible.
My duty and interest, alike prompt
this course, for I. too, feel the burdens of tax- j
ation; but I wish all my taxes were consum- j
cd in as proper expenditures. 1 feel bound i
to say, too. that in this prudent, careful and I
economical course, I will be heartily sustain- >
ed by the whole commission. I have had 1
frequent occasions in the past, to condemn
the course of the county commissioners. I
have always done this promptly and earnestly
when 1 deemed it proper. As earnestly as
promptly, and much more gladly, do I now
commend their ready action in all that would
secure justice to all the citizens, in this mat-!
ter, and faithfully, economically, promptly I
and zealously to discharge every duty in this j
connection. The first resolution passed by !
the commission was that no scheme of tax j
should be acted upon, no money appropriated,
no contract let out &c. &c., except at a J
public meeting of the commission, of which j
due notice should be given in the public !
journal of the town.
IIow much each one will subscribe to the
purchase of the bonds, must be left to his ^
own juugfuiieni-. uui ?i puiui> ui iwu uiuy ue :
suggested by w;iy of information.
It will be so arranged that each holder !
of a bond may pay his bridge tax when due j
by a credit on the bonds, so that the bends,:
being in sums of one hundred dollars, the |
purchasers of bonds will really have dene j
nothing more than advanced the tax and j
will get interest on it.
The apprehension that the bonds will be I
of less than par value has already been dissipated.
This was a subject of very decided
concern, but happily the generous and clearsighted
action of the So. Ca. Rail Road Company
has releived us of all anxiety on this !
subject. If the whole twenty thousand dol-1
lars (820,000) of bonds provided for by the
act, had been thrown upon the market, though j
they arc thoroughly secured by the tax \
scheme, ilicy would not only not have reach-!
G<1 par, but possibly would not. have sold at'
prices that would have justified the commission
iti their issue. Rut the course of the
So. Ca. Rail Road, in advancing to us in cf- j
feet eight thousand dollars, with the taxes
which will be due next summer, &c., will
make it necessary to issue but a small amount
of bonds, and we earnestly hope they will
entirely be taken at par, by parties interested
in the bridge. Even if we had to sell a
? 1*1 A 1~ A- * 1
few bonds WHICH we emuuonjr uupo u? nvoiu,
the amount would be so small, and tho advances
so liberal by the Rail Road company,
and the friends of the enterprize, that the
par value ot those bonds i9 already secured.
The tax-payer, too, has a very decided interest
in subscribing to the bonds, for if the
bonds be subscribed to to the extent necessary,
the tax will be smaller, of course, for it
will not require the amount authorized tp
pay the interest on the bonds and provide
for their ultimate payment. .
The objection to the issue of bonds ana
the scheme of taxation, that the few who i
possess property will purchase these bonds j
nid pay these taxes, while the many, who :
use the bridge will pay nothing, will no^{
f
bear investigation. This argument is suggested
by persons whose knowledge of political
economy and the science of government
surely ought to have taught them that labor
may twist and squirm as it please yet in the
end it will have to bear the burden of taxation..
You may have accumulated labor (capital)
to some extent stolen or pilfered from you
by oppressive governments, but it will always
compensate itself out of the laborer. You
may tax land and it will laugh at you. You
may tax the plow but it will pay you nothing.
You may tax the horse and he will kick up
his heels at you. The man must come with
his labor, and then the product of his labor
will pay the taxes, as it pays tho rent of the
land, and the wear and tear of the plow and
the hire and food of the horse.
Hut while I may net suggest to any of my
friends what amount they should subscribe,
may I not urge upon you all, an earnest effort
to aid, so far 1.8 you may in this enterT.
_ 11 A 1...A
prise. 10 is a small DHB, it is true, uut it '
the first public enterprise we have earnestly
engaged in since the war, with assurance of
success. It is of some importance of itself,
but far more as an oxample and precedent.
It will give us hope and assurance of life.
It is the first step. The next will be a railroad
from Camden, to Charlott, via. Lancast
t. Then great steps will come in rapid
succession. ,
We arc blessed with great material resources,
the development of these must reconstruct
us. Politics will do nothing for us,
and philosophy at best will only enable us to
endure our burdens. Those of us familiar
w th the internal history of this District,
know, our not remote ancestors were as poor
as we are, while we hold the vantage ground
in all things except habits of thrift and industry
and good government. They, with
scarce a good start at the commencement of
this century, built up in half a century a
community of great wealth, a society both
attractive and pure. Wc can do as well, or
better, but it requires earnest, watchful effort,
industry, economy, energy and public
spirit. We have a climate, soil and staples
unsurpassed, and a history to preserve and
illustrate, Shall wo prove ourselves worthy
of our history, or will we some day justify
the remark of us. lately made by a traveler
in Greece ? "A country, rich in historical
reminiccnccs, but poor as Sabarali in everything
else."
My friends, if we may flatter ourselves
that in our past there is a history cmu'a'ing
that of ancient Grce e. may we not painfully
detect something here of the degeneracy of
modern Greece ? Is there nothingof idleness,
listlcssncss, faithlessness, sycophuncy, trickery
1
What is suggested to you when you read
that "a scraggy nest of foreign ofHce-holdcrs
set in the places of Thcmistocles, Pericles
and the illustrious scholars and Generals of
the Golden Age of Greece." Who could sit
for the companion picture to this ? And are
we sure that war. conquest and corruption
are not having their demoralizing and degenerating
influences upon our people? From a
grieved heart I tell you that these things are
so, and nothing so accelerates this downward
course as despair. Let us unite in every effort
to give our young men hope, energy, resolution.
Onward, ouxcard, ONWAlfH? is alike
duty and necessity. We can redeem this
country for our children, but if we do not
shake off apathy, our future will contrast as
unfavorably with our past as do modern
Greece and Italy with their great past.

visit recently made to Charleston in connection
with Manncs Baum, as Bridge Commissioners.
Their propositions were kindly
received by the So. Ca. Railroad Company,
and Mr. C. 0. Witte, President of the Peoples
National Bank of Charleston,
and their expectations were fully realized,
Mr. Mannes Baum read a communication
from the Finance Committee of the So. Ca.

in which the R. R Co., offers to
endorse the notes for ?8000, of the Bridge
Commissioners. If practicable, they would
take the contract for building the bridge.
Mr. M Baum also stated, that the People's J
National Bank would advance the money on
the notes endorsed by the S. C. R. R., with
interest at 12 per cent per annum, and the
Bridge Bonds as collateral.
On motion, a committeo was appointed to

Wn.vt Dyspepsia may end In*.?Indigestion
is not dangerous, say the faculty.?
Perhaps not in itself, while it remains mere
indigestion; but look at the consequences to
which it "may lead, and often docs lead when
it becomes a chronic disease. A spark of
fire is a small thing. A pressure of the foot
will put it out; a breath will extinguish it.
Yet it may fire a powder mill, or kindle a
flame that will consume a city. In like manner
indigestion may produce gastritis, cancer
of the stomach, congestion of the bowels,
apoplexy, liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is it not wise, then, to
check it in the germ ? Nothing is more clearly
and indisputably established than that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will eradicate
rlvsnpnfiia in all its stages. The true policy,
however, is to extinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infallible
tonic and alterative It is easier to quench
a spark than a flame, and it is easier to cure
dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made headway by neglect, and become
complicated with other ailments. There
is not the shadow of a doubt that the bitters
arc as directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as
water ie to Are. There are thousands of
cases on record proving this fact. The remedy
is safe and agreeable. All the liquors of
commerce prescribed as stimulants leave a
sting behind. But the sting is taken out of j
the spiritous basis of this great remedy by j
vegetable medication, and, moreover, the ;
stimulant thus medicated is of exceptional
purity, ' Of all tonics taken as safeguards
or remedies for fcver and ague, bilious remittals,
and other epidemics, it is the only
one thafcan uniformly be depdhded on.
