which most any kind of the
fianv tribe may be bought any day.

delicious spring raJishcs, raised on his
place iu Camden. ,

Mr. W. W. Dick, formerly o! Sumter
i
but uow the indefatigable representative
of the popular wholesale Grocery and
Liijuor house of Messrs. Wulborn &
l'ieper, 1G7 and 1G9 East Bay, Charleston,
S. C., was in Camden Saturday.
Journalistic. ? The Lancaster
Lcdycr has entered upon its twenty
seventh year. \Yc congratulate our
neighbor and with it increased prosper- I
ity. I
Stock.?A large drove of fine horses
and mules arrived in Camden on
Wednesday and found quartirs at Mr.
Latham's stables. Low for cash is the
way they arc going we believe.
The liedgers ?This popular troupe
was greeted with a full house on
the evening of the 29th ultimo. A9
usual with them, the entertainment was
highly interesting and enjoyable.
Wash i noton's U i utii day.?We
hope that the various military companies
in the eouuty will unite in taking
the necessary steps toward celebrating the
22ni of this month in an appropriate
manner, in honor of the birthday of
the Father of his Country.
Likely.?It is more than likely that
the town currency will be the issue of
the next municipal campaign. Though
it passes for its fare value, and it cannot
be farther increased, people generally
want to see it retire J and greenbacks
take its place.
TwEXTY-riVE Cents expended for one
botlle of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will
save your child from the horrible agony of
Icing eaten by worms.
No COURT.?The Senate having
failed to agree to the House resolutions
providing for the election of Circuit
Judtrcs on Friday, the 1st instant, there
will be no Court here this week. Many
ifw yen", prison' rs confined in jail, and i
parties to civil actions are disappoin
ted?some agreeably, but by fur the
larger number otherwise. There being
no Judge, the Clerk yesterday adjourned
Court until Monday next.
The K. f?. 15ani>.?Through the
courtesy of Prof. McCreight, leader,
we learu that the Kershaw Guards Hand
has been organized with twelve inernbers.
They expect to receive their instruments
in a short time, and wc here
express the hope that it will not he
long before enlivening strains of martial
music will fill the air.
J'Ask your Druggist what he knows atiout
the merits ol Shriner's Indian Vermifuge,
the popular remedy.
Pound Party.?The "Pound Party"
at the residence of Dr. Hissell on Friday
evening was greatly enjoyed by all
the participants, and it was near the hour
when the rosey dawn paints the cast
with the varied colors of its magic brush
before the enjoyment ended. We have
no doubt that there will be many more
such happy occasions.
In the Wrong Direction.?No
man should bo a Circuit Judge who is
no?, besides possessing the highest moral
character, a first-class lawyer. The services
of a first-class lawyer cannot be
obtained for $2,000 per annum. Therefore,
the pay of Circuit Judges should
not be reduced. It would bo economy
in the wrong direction to do so.
Undershirts ! Undershirts ! Gen*uine
Bargains at H. liaruch's.? Avt
Rrokk l>o\\n.?The down lrain on
(he Camden Rrauch was delayed several
hours yesterday morning hy the engine
having givoen out at Clark.son's Turn
Out. This I ranch appears to be n cognized
by the South Carolina Railroad
as an asylum lor its worn out rolling
stock.
Rkowxed.?Yesterday morning the
body of Toe-tor Sand- rs, an idiotic colored
uian of this community, was found
iu Pino Tree Creek near the bridge at
the lower end of 15road street. It is
supposed tliat the unfortunate u.sn was
drowned on l'riduy. in attempting
to cross tho stream, which was in a
swollen condition.
Town Attorney?The Town Couu-;
cil at at a recent meeting elected our
friend and former associate, Mr. J. T.
Hay, Town Attorney. It is enough to !
say that no Letter selection could have
been made. Learned in the law and
thoroughly conscientious, Mr. Hay will j
make a most efficient and acceptable of-'
licer.
Steamer for Sale.?By reference!
to the advertisement, it will be seen tha1
the Steamer Lillington will be sold on
the 11th instant. It is hoped that she
will be bought by some enterprising
man, who will take the necessary steps
to place her on her regular trips again.
Sale, positive, and without reserve.
Mothers suvc Your children freni tor-!
lure and death by using Shriner's Indian'
Vermifuge. It will destroy and ex]>el
worms of every kind if used nccoiding to !
directions.
Suggestion 11ri?e.\ted.<?Wc cannot;
urge too strongly tho absolute necessity
of the most perfect organization of the
Democracy of Kershaw County, if wc
would win the next election. And to
that end. we would again suggest that
every club hold a meeting before tbc
working time comes, and havo the same
to advertised as to secure the largest at-;
tendance. We will insert such notices
free of charge,
A New Wav.?The latest way to
keep a fellow from stealing a wife has
been discovered by a colored grand
latler in this county. It is to contrive
to have the would-be groom indicted
and put into the penitentiary. Rut
the fellow has married tho drl never-,
thelcss, and says that any impartial jury
will find him not guilty of the charge
that is brought against him. So the
plan, though original, will not answer
in every case.
New 1'ost Route.?Through die
instrumentality of Hon. John II Krins,
member of Congress from this Di-trict,
a new post route has been cstaLl'slied
between Cauiden ami Taxaliuw. in Lancaster
county, over which a weekly mail
will be carrie 1. We trust that the contract
will soon be taken by responsible
parties, and that we may be placed in
closer communication with our fellow
citizens along the new route.
Tun Seventh Kkesiiet.?On last
Wednesday, the Watcrcc river again
flooded the county in these parts, making
the seventh time in a few weeks.
Such an occurrence is unprecedented in
the modem history of that stream. If
the theory be true that those frequent
overflows are caused by the embanklucutofthe
Wilmington, Columbia &
Augusta Railroad below here, the courts
should immediately be applied to for its
removal.
Reti R.ninii.?A number of (lie Liberal)
Kxodites from above here have
repassed through Cauiden, on their return
to tin ir old homes. They state
that an o!J yellow u.uu came among
theui, and eolleeted the money to pay
their pns-agc on the "l'hantoui Ship,"
hut could not he found or hoard from
hy them afterwards. Ilencc they used
the little means that remained to them
from the grand fraud to return home,
sadder, if not wiser, and ready to "go
cn the contract" again.
Foiiki<;n Dkummeus.?The wholesale
merchants of Charleston have memorialized
the Legislature to impose a
liccn?c tax on trading salesmen from
other States. The merchants of several
of our sister towns have petitioned the
Legislature not to pass such a measure.
We have not heard that the business
men of Camden have taken any action
in the matter, but we express the opinion
that the benefit of this license woald
he entirely with the merchants of
Charleston.
A i.must Imimssaulk.?The road
from Cauiden to the Waterec Free
Itndgc h barely passable, anu n is suggested
by many persons that a new road,
either above or below the present site,
be opened upon higher ground, and furnished
with culverts, drains &e., so that
it wiil never become impassable. A
gentleman from Western Wnterce, who
is a friend of Camden, has told us that
hundreds of bales of cotton have gone
far out of the way to llidgeway and Columbia
within a few weeks, and all on
account of one mile of had road between
Camden and the river. It would be to
the interest of the town to give some attention
to this matter.
I
A Puzzle.?A patron gives us the
following puzzle, with the request tli >t
we submit it to the school l>o\s for solution
: "I>ivide S12 dollars between
J two men so that one will have one
I third the most money." Will any <?f
of our young Newton's tackle it ?
The New Methodist Cnuacn.?
It w ill require about ?1,GOO to complete
the new Methodist Church edifice?a
portion of wl ich amount is now in the
hands of the treasurer, and it is to be
hoped that the necessary balance will
be raised very soon, so that a handsome
building and an ornament to Cumden
i r i
may ue unisiieu.
Religious.?The Methodists worshipped
in Town Ilall on Sunday, the
council having granted litem that privilege
until their new church on Lytlleton
street shall be completed. The attendance
was unusually large, and the
pastor, Rev. John O. Wilson, pretched
i most eloquent and effective sermon
from Matthew, 13 chapter, 18 verse;
"Hear ye, therefore, the parable of lhe j
sower."
New Grange, By reference to
the communication of "Delegate" it will
ho seen that a new Grange of Patrons;
of Husbandry has been organized at
Sandy Grove Church, sixteen utiles cast i
of Cuittden. There is no telling lite j
amount of good that may be aecom-;
plished through the instrumentality of
the grange, and our Sandy (Irovc trtends ;
arc looking strictly to their iuterests in
i?? .u?:. *
Having uuu in men uuuoi*
With a \iew to rendcriug tlie organ-1
? i
ization of the Democracy of Kershaw
County as perfect as possible, we should
be glad to puLlish the roll of nicu?bcrs
of every elub in the county. It will i
thus be known who are loyal to the
faith. Kvcry Democrat, white or colored,
should sec that his name is properly
enrolled, so that it will appear upon
which side he stands. Presidents and
Secretaries of clubs will oblige us by j
forwarding lists of members as early as |
possible.
CiiANciK <?k Schedule.?The new
schedule of the W. C. & A. If. It.

Actoo, but not at Wedgeficld.
In the " Ladies Department " you
will find an assortment of trimmed
and untrimincd Hats, Ladies Underwear
at II. Baruch's.?Avt
A Graded School.?The Trustees
of the free schools have rented Mount
Zion College, and a graded school will
be put into operation under Mr. Davis,
as principal, and Misses Obear and
I'laine as assistants. The carpenters are
actively engaged in fitting some outbuildings
in the college lot for additional
class rooms, and the school will soon be
i opened. This is a venture; but with
the co-operation of all persons interested
in education, it is hoped that it will
prove a success. The high school department
of Ml. Zion will be coutinuud
! scperaetc from the free schools and students
in higher mnthcuiatscs, the languages
and sciences, will be admitted
for a small tuition fee.? Wiimsboro

Mb. Kimtor: I was much pleased with ,
rour suggestion in the Jovhnai. of last J .
vcck in reforeuee to the Odd Follows. It !
vould be very gratifying to the members
if Kershaw Lodge No. if the ladies of
Camden would leud their aid towards rclabilitating
their Lodge room. The memicrs
have been scattered for nearly a year
?for the hall where they tabernacled was
mrnt, and all their cherished snrroundngs
were laid waste. As one of the num.
>er, I cordially re iterate your assertion
hat " the ladies could not contribute their i
morgies in abetter cause than to as-ist in j
placing this nohlr Order in a working con* |
lition again.'' Kershaw Lodge, before the !
ivar, was in a very prosperous conditionnumbering
nbout loO members, with funds I
mificient to dispense its benefits to all who
required assistance. Since its resuscitation j
in 187d, it numbered about fifty brethren.
Within a couple of years they had procured
new regalia and all the appliances lor a successfully
working Lodge. Now the Order!
in Camden is in a more crippled condition
tnan it ? ?? wncn n icw 01 ino niennurrn renewed
active work?for now there is lack- j
ing the rineics that are required for building
up its waste places.
That you do not over estimate the worth
of the Order, when you style it "this no-j
hie Order," a statement of the number of
its membership, and of the benefits bestowed
throughout the jurisdiction of the,
United States?embracing the four qttar-*!
Irrs of the globe--tuny not lie uninteresting
to your readers who are outside of the Order.
Being under that impression, I will,
if it meets your views, furnish such a staleun

order, not only in South Carolina, once

The Assessment of Property ami i
Free Schools.
lit sstLt. I'i.ai t , S. C., Jan. '51, 1S7S.
Mil. Kimtob: In the forthcoming Tax Itil!
provision should be ntade for the re-assess?
men! of land. The present valuation is in
excess of the market value, which is not appreciating.
but depreciating. No speci"s of
property can pay u tax excluding its income
without encroaching upon the r>n/>ii* of
the estate. The income from land is small,
and in many instances nothing?consequently
the present excessive valuation
in i?;ui*rupin' mini* luxjMijtrr.
llxpensos of government should bo reduced.
nnd ollicial salaries equitably ndjliste<l,
an 1 the number of oflicials reduced,
in the actual rcipiirements of nn efficient
execution ami a>lminisirittIon of the laws. J
The Free School fund has been largely,
and permanently increased by the hitei
(' institutional Amendment. This fund
should be wisely expended. The supervision
of the schools as well as the disbursement
of the money should be entrusted to
efficient, faithful, and competent agents.'
These agents should receive reasonable
compensation for the time and service
they necessarily devote to the proper discharge
of their duties. Much depends on
tlie faithful discharge of the duties of trustees
in establishing schools, and employing t
teachers. 1 am informed that the Trustees
gel no pay for their services. This
should not be the case;] we cannot expect |
efficient service rendered in so important
an office without remuneration. Much
injury has been done by the appoint mint
of incompetent trustees. J. 11. M.

OBITUARY.
1?iei??In Bryan County, Oft., January 4,
1878. Mrs. CAROLINE ELIZABETH KELLER,
in her 20tli year.
Beloved in life and lamented in death,
tier memory is fondly cherished by all who 1
knew her.
'Twas sad to sec her cheeks so fnir
Fast fading in their bloom,
While slowly spreading o'er hei face
The features of the tomb.
Twas sad to hear h:r plaintive voice,
While struggling with her pain;
And as she faintly called for help,
To hoar her call in vain.
'Twas sad to 6ec her sunken cheeks, ]
And hear her gurgling breath ; ?
While 'round her heart the tyrant drew (
His icy chain of death. ]
'Tis sad to see around her rocm i
The garments once she wore,
When well within nty heart 1 know I
She wants them now no more. I
Oil! see the blossoms in the vase'
Still on the table stand,
Set there, a day or two ago,
And water'd by her hand !
Where'er I walk, where'er I look,
There's something sad to see;
For oh ! at ev'ry step I lake, t
There is a memory. ! I
No lofty monument I'll raise j'
To mark her little mound ; I
Nor will with sculj tur'd letters praise '
The sleeper underground. I
In death's cold arms her body lies,
There tjuiet let it lay : i
l'p to bee lied Iter spirit Hies,
To bear what Ho will say.
noni om iiie gunien i win uring,
To mark her lowly lot.
What slip ho dearly loved to spp?
The sweet "Forget.tup-not." I
She'll see it from her happy home, <
An 1 Iote it still on high;
L'pon her tonili 'twill sweetly bloom
Ami blossom till 1 die. <
Ah. tiieti tw.ll droop its little head,
And never raise its eye,
I'ntil we come ami take it up
To live with lis on high.
No more 'twill droop its little head,
A blossom on the tomb.
Hut live, (lie perfume of a thought.
Forever in its ldooni.
Iler spirit 'tis a living light,
And marks its upward way:
How beautiful and bright its path
Into eternal day.
