Fortunately the team was stopped at once, and all parties rescued Nobody was hurt. Flowers.?The flower-pardana of Caadeti ate just now arrayed in their briphtest and loveliest dress.

We congratulate the town! upon the selection of such a man as Ma- i jor Sill for Treasurer. Council Appointments.?The following appointments have been made by the town council: E. E. Sill.

Vou will find Pliriner's Indian Vermifuge a reliable remady. If will not fail to destroy and expel worms. Try it. Organize.?Many good Democrats believe that our party will walk over the course in K<r?haw this year. It ?ay be so, and we incline to that opinion. Bat, if so, it will reeult from the thorough organization of the Democratic party, which must be effected before the campaign opens. The hope of the old Radical leaders is, that they may find sotue influential Democrat# (socalled) who will holt, the party and carry with them a sufficient number af voters to defeat the regular nominees. With perfect organization, there will bo r.oj danger of such an occurrence. I ~ Tiie Militia.?We will soon have a regiment of militia in Kershaw County. A few u-.orc companies only are required to complete the number, and as soon as they shall have reported to Col E. Ih Cantey of the finvrrnor's staff he will order an election for field officers. A thoroughly organized militia not only tends to preserve the peace and good order of a community, but it improves and makes better citiz-ns of our young men by bringing them together and creatine in them a spirit of liberality and generous emulation. We want to see a good rifle company in evory community. Vorno and old are often afflicted and dehitttnted until life becomes a burden. The thought never occurs that worms are the cause. 8hriner's Indian Vermiftig* will give the relief you so much need.

Oi'r Town Currency.?The Lancaster Lnljtr, of the 17th instant says; "Camden shin-plasters will not pass for currency in Lancaster. We advise our farmer* to refuse them." Why our contemporary should thus advise the farmers of Lancaster County, it does not state, nor do we know, unless it is because the said farmers find it more convenient and to their interest to sell their produce and buy their supplies ir. Camden than nt certain other points. For Il;e information of the Ltrtytr and rl?e public generally, we will says that the business men ofCamdon will receive at [or every dollar of sliinplas'crs that mny be presented to them, and will pive in exchange therefor dollar for dollar in preonbaekor silver.nr eooo'sat the lowest cash pricea. And, as it is with men, the beet way to determine the value of money is. to aacertain how It is is regarded by tho*e who are beat acquainted with it. The amount of town currency in circulation haa been discovered; Camden is able to pay every cent of.it with ease; not a dollar more will be issued; and the people, including the ''farmers" of Lancaster. know it is pood. 80 the fears of the Leih/tr are prnund|ps?, and its advice not supported by reason and the facta of the case. The Press AssociationApirt from the pleasures derived from the Association itself, in the discussion of business, in cementinp ocia' relations, and in hcarinp the address of Mr. Gradv nn journalism, there will be various public and private attractions in Charleston durinp Easter week, and it is doubtfnl that the members of the State Press could visit the City at a better time.

Kditor Journal:?Having seen the nao.es of other pentlcmpn mentioned in connection with the office of Congressman from the fourth District, allow me to suggest our distinguished fellow-citizen. Gen. John 1). Kennedy, as one in every way qualified and especially deserving of the honor of the nomination. It is unnecessary to refer to Gen. Kennedy's record as a soldier of the Confederate cause, as aW know that he was at the front from Fort Sumter to Johnston's surrender, and performed distinguished service throughout the struggle. Since the war, the State has ever found in him a bold and energetic champion of her rights against plunderers and oppressor*. an f in every campaign, sparing neither time nor cxpenso. he has devoted himself to the cause of our political regene ration. Especially val- i uable were his services in the niemora* ble campaign of 187G, during the can- i vass and the trying months between the i election and the removal of the Federal ] troops front the State-house. South i I Carolina should erer remember those i who stood by the ship of State during ; those hard days. < Gen'l Kennedy now holds the impor- < tant and responsible post of Chairman i of the Stato Executive Oommitteo of i the Democratic party, nnd is devotiug his time and talents to the work of or- j ganiiing the party for victory in No- j vember. It is fitting that he should i partake of the fruits of that victory, j The Fourth District will find in him an t able and devoted champion of the peo- t pie's rights and interests. Democrat. t i From Eastern Kershaw. j Mr. Editor:?Messrs. S. B. Hall, !i B. J. Humphries, and Jesse E. Pearce. c were delegates from Sandy Gmve ?

One'of the Sandy Grove si delegates. Mr. Humplirics, was taken 1 very ill while there, and regretted very r much that he had to leave before the t meeting closed. He returned home I and was confined to his bed for several T days, being so low that lie had to call c in the medical uid of Dr Moore, of r Camden.

The struggle for existenco has been a severe trial to our Southern pcop|p. who wcro before the war accustomed to every luxury that heart could wish, or fancy suggest. Time and experience have taught them in some degree to limit their wants to their circumstances, and tnore fully to realize their situation. Many devices were used to conceal (if possible even from themselves) their destitute condition, financial, and poli-* tical. but time proved all such devices worthless; their true situation had to be realized and accepted before it could bo improved. The first step in the right direction towards political freedom was, when the campaign of 187<i was begun. Alliance, compromisc'or bargaining with the Radical party was then ignored and denounced, butler and j (Jury sounded the key note of the cam -1 paign. which re-echoed in tho hearts j ( fall true sons of Carolina. When they announced that the people would no longer submit to the government "so called," whose offices were filled under the fortus of law by thieves and swindlers and by a party who ignored the tax payers whom they robbed, and by appealing to the prejudices of the ignorant, in effect disfranchised the intelligent and the tax paying citizens of the State they declared that this yoke of bondage, worse tlian that of the Egyptians, would bo thrown off and that it would not be done by appeals to ! tlio tyrant knaves, or fo ?ls who com I binqd to fasten it on us, but by an nppeal to the ballot, an appeal to the honest man regardless of party, and lastly by an appeal to the manhood of every true son of South Carolina. On j this Inst appeal, wc got a dccrci in our i favor and this from tho highest tribunal1 in the land. Wo entrusted an honctt \ man (Wade Hampton) to spcurc the > fruits of our victory, and faithfully and successfully has ljc performed tho task | assigned him. We arc again called to select men to I man tho ship of State. The evil spirits I hut were thrown'overboard in the last I campaign arc not all drowned. They still hanker after the flesh pots of Egypt. They birtBt of thb number Of thfeir blind I followers ; their dupes; their voting machines ; but mark ye. let I he clean have nothing to do with the unclean. If there be nny clean who have befouled themselves by connection with the Iiadicnl party, let thciu come out from among the dishonest crew, purify thehisclvc1. and help honest men to hold the fort." Let the people of Kershaw remember when they enter this campaign that a mixture of oil and water won't do. A square fight of honest and competent! men against dishouest men and their | dupes. No alliuncc of honesty and dis-1 honesty will do. Such a firm would be adjudged bankrupt before the election. I J. It. M. ! Russell Place, S. G , April 17,1878. [ron tiik jovrsal.] Manning.

"Connubial infelicity brings on a faiei *al scene, which almost ends in a traiyly." j The quiet of the western side of the Wa-1 teree was move<t on Monday ni^lit last front , its usual seruntty to a little scene of blood- 1 shed. The facts of the case are both amu-1 sing and interesting, nnd are briefly told, as follows: About five years ago, one Frank Atkinson married. He found that the paths of, such a life were strewn with something else besides roses, and soon the thorns began to crop out; and, as usual iu all such I cases, Francis soon, without law or proper authority, abandoned the partner of his bosom. After a few years of weary solitude, lie became tired of hi? sjuglc h|t..->scduesg, and sought happiness in (lis gonial smiles and ciiibraoes of a new mate?this, though, without the necessary forms that belong to this civil contract. He was just baskiugiu hie new happiness wlien. much to his surprise, the father and brother ofhie newly made victim appeared upon the scene. Pistils and guns were brought into play. The "ilaji^htt-r or tlrtith lb' b<?r Vetram-" was I ilie programme; Hud poor Frank, seeing his fit nation desprrulr. resolved upon tliat fine j and popular idea of He who fights and run9 away, Will live to fight another day." So quietly he speat his Sabbath and the j succeeding day in the beautiful wooda j around "Gum Swamp," no doubt enlivened ; < by the music of the birds and the sweet j perfumes of the violet and honeysuckle. a On Monday night from these quiet recesses he ventured out, and took refuge in one of the houses upon the plantation of Mr. T. W. Lang, occupied by one of his hands (n the meantime the news of what had occurred rapidly spread, and upon nil I sides his rapid flight, with all of its ludicrous surroundings, were known. A few . of the darkies had determined to keep up the fun, and as Frank was dodging at every rustic that reached his troubled ear, he was in a fine mood to be easily decoyed. So. while quietly drawing from hia pipe j all of the pleasure that this life now afford- | ed him, and sitting with his legs crossed in 1' front of the fire, one of his quondam " friends, a negro, rushed in and said, "Mr. c A., armed while men arc at the front gate ^ looking for you !" Frank, with alt of the ? velocity that a Paris pigeon ever had, ti darted through the back door; and as he * passed out two guns fired directly at him. ^ Neither gun, however, contained shot, aud t it was only meant as a scare by the offend- j jj mg parlies no close however was one of ^ the guns, (lint the wilding wis Mown into ti Frank's nock, And he wis also dreadfully | hi burned with powder. This would be fun | nhnost ended tat ally, and indeed are both . aggrieved and oppressors fortunate that it did not. Frank could not sec "no fun" p however in this and took out a warrant for _ both parties. The case was argued before Justice Del'ass Mr. Clark representing the j state, and Judge Leitner the defendants. The Justice gave his verdict as guilty and sentenced the prisoners to 30 days in jail or fifteen dollars fine?a light sentence indeed. "Elipuast Hili.."
