Kettle*, a one-legged Confedeaate, had
the misfortune to fall from the steps of
the DeKalb House and break bia arm
near the shoulder Saturday evening.'
The fracture was set by Pr. A. A.'
Moore, and at last accounts Mr. Nettles
was doing well.
i
Fishino.?Nearly everybody is "gone
a-fishiog" nowadays. Some are said to ;
be remarkably successful in catching'
trout, jack, bream, cats, eels, perch, j
minnows and hickory shad. We havo
not yet wet a line this year. When we
do, our neighbors will hear from us?if
we oatch a whale.
Qu^ck Work.?David Hinson resisted
the officers of the law and was
killed at ten o'clock in the morning*
By four io the evening, the coroner
had summond a jury, held an inqnest
and rendered a verdict, exculpating the
officdls of the law from all blame. This
was quick work, and should be a warning
to all desperate characters.
Oiva your children a good start in the
world. Shrine;*'* IaJlnn Vermifuge will
destroy an l expel the iiorrtu worms m?<
gus at their vitals and deprive them' of
health and beauty.
A Mistake.?By some hocus-pocus,
which is unaccountable to everybody
save printers, the type made us ray last
week that H. Baruch was celling la*
dice kid gloves a' 40c per pair. This
was a mistake. He is offering an extra
quality of Lid gloves at 50c per
pair, and the ladies arc rapidly relieving
him of his stocl: at that prion.
Col. Thomas Y. Simons, a prominent
twmbcr of the CharVston bar.
died at his horn* in that city on the 30th
ultimo. Though always in tho front
rank of his profession. Col. Simons
bore an active part ia the politics of the
State, and was also distinguished in
journalism, having for several years
filled with marked ability the position
of editor in chief of the old Charleston
Courier. Both of the Charleston dai'es
pay fitting tributes to his memory
Prooreshino.?The Granny's Quarter
cavalry company, the f ?rm?tion of
which wc mentioned some weeks ago is
making comma nd*blo progress towards
a permanent existence. The list of members
is constantly increasing, Capt. L.
L. Clyburn has erected a hall over his
store in which to bold their meetings, and
they expect at an early day to receive
froui the StaU? cithor sabres or ahort
carbines. Altogether the prospfcet of a
first class "tritmr company'' in the up
t ry 1? very favorable.

A gentleman who lias traveled all
over Europe and America, and who
j visited our town a few weeks ago, asserted
without fear of contradiction that
the passenger coach on the Camden
branch is the most inferior "first-class"
j car on any road in the civilized world.
And still the people of Camden submit
to the imposition.
Worms.?The ravages of worms on
the crops in som ) portions of the county
! aro fearful. Oj many farms the stand
I of cotton has been completely destroyed,
j and com plrntcd in its stead. Mr. Wi
ley Brannon tells ns that nine hands
capturedd and killed from seven acres
on his place in two days one and a half
bushels of worms by actual measurement.
But he is undaunted, and say*
he will yet make a crop.
The PkomfKadf. Concf.rt.?The
entertainment at tho residence of Mr.
George Aldcn on the 30th ultimo was a j
brilliant- nflair. Tbc house was beautifully
illuminated, the audience large
and appreciative, aod the music perfectly
grand. The performers acquitted
themselves in the most creditable
manner, all seeming to excel themselves.
Everybody was delighted, and would be
glad to spend another evening so pleasantly.
Crowded?A gentleman in Camden,
who contemplates visiting Europe
this year, recently received a letter
from a friend in New York, telling him
that it is impossible to secure first cabin
passage upon any steamer earlier than
the 15tb of June, so great is the demand
for transportation across the waters for
persons who are coing to the Paris
Exposition. However, tho gentleman
referred to has not given up the idea of
visiting tho Yaterlaml this year.
Unsafe ?The bridge over Wateree
river, opposite Camden, is in such a
rickety condition that the County Commissioners
have posted the following notice
at each end of the bridge :
Camden, S. C., May 2, 1878

All parties passing over from this
date will do *o at their own risk.

Rkcklfss Shooting.?Some prr?on
who would do well (o leave his pistol at
home hereafter, stood in or near the
DeKalb House on Saturday night and
fired several times in the direction of
Jones' Store, two balls entering the
apartment above the store occupied by
Mr. Angus McDonald, and lacking but |
a foot or two of bitting him as he lay
ic his bed. The recklessness of such
conduct, to say the least of it. cannot be
too stroncly condemned. The wonder is
that the perpetraton escaped detection.
Where was the police ?
An Original Ii?ea.?A gentleman
residing in Camden, who generally has
an opinion of his own, and who is noted
for his originality, has struck upon an
idea that is really novel, and for the
i benefit of the papty we will publish it
Ho suggests, inasmuch as success this
year should be the paramount object of
every Democrat, and the great number
' of aspirants for the offices tends to defeat
the party, that every man, who is
brought Toward for a nomination and
fails to get it, be shot; and that those
i who receive the nominations and fail to
i get elected be flayed alive lie thinks
that in this way the number of candi:

Homicide.?On last Thursday morning
David UiosoD. a colored laborer on
the farm of Mr. John Whitsker in this
county upon the western side of Waterce
rivor, wis shot and instantly killed
by deputy sheriff Geo. W. Glenn. It:
appears that ITinson bad violated his
contract with Mr. Whitakcr. who made
complaint of the fact to Trial Justice
J. D. Dunlap. Hinson was summoned
to appear, but disregarded the summonsA
warrant was then issued and placed
in the hand? of a constable, who went afterhimon
thccvcningofthe29th ultimo.
He resisted arrest and threatened the
life of tho constable, who, not feeling
on * Vi/*,r pAcnrt to pxtreme measures.
returned to town ood reported what had
occurred to the Trial Justice Thus
encouraged Ilinson armed himself with
a pistol and double barrelled shot enn,
and went about Mr. Whit&ker's place,
threatening vengeance upon him and
all others who bad incurred 1 is displeos
ure. His conduct was reported to Justice
Punlav vho directed Sheriff Pnby
to arrest the deceased. Accompanied
by hisdiputies, Messrs. G. W. Glenn
and L. F. Hexley, tbc sheriff left town
early Thursday morning. Soon after
reaching Mr. TVhitakcr's plantation,!
Flinson, with pistol in hand, was observed
goinsr in the direction of the
river. Pursuit was at onco begun, Cnpr.
Doby and Mr. Wbitaker endeavoring
to head hi:n off at ore point, while
Messrs. Glenn and Huxley made for another.
The la^t named geutlen.cn first
overtook the deceased, who turned nod
advanced ujm>o Hax'ey, with his pist d
drawn. Hax'ey, presenting hi* pistol,
told him if ho offeredjto irhoot, he would
kill him. The sheriff and Mr. Whitakrr
were then fast approaching, and it
was t'lnnghl that the presence of four
armed men would induce the fellow to
stjirender. Hut not bo. IP' declared,'

Coroner John It, Goodnle was then sent
for. a jury was summoned consisting of
3 white and 9 colored men, a thorough
investigation was made, and a verdict
of justifiable homicide rendered. The
following persons composed the jury of

When Anything Good it to he Done.
The 4th day of May will not soon be forgotten
by the tender and appreciative scholars
of Mi?s. Young, and long will it be remembered
by those of ninturer years whosepleasurc
i? was to join them in their festivities.
The morning seemed inclined to frown upon
our contemplated pleasure, and the sweet
beauties of May wore dimmed with lowering
clouds. In fu<t, had we observed the
rude freaks of an overshadowing nature,
our joys would have been rudely snuffed.
But nothing was tudnuut the joyous spirits
that were to mingle so soon together. Leaving
our homes with happy hearts, in a wagon
loaded with precious freight, we soon
reached the scene of joy. lJy the side of a
lovely branch were to be seen Utile children
sporiing, and mothers eagerly looking on,
and men cheerfully chatting. Their wng
ous. buggies and baskets all attested the
grand occasion, and the gentle ripple of
satisfaction which pervaded all showed that
this was to be a glorious day. No sooner
had w<> commenced the pleasures of the day,
than the heavens Rcemed determined trf
put a stop to our brilliant anticipations, and
the rain commenced to pour. This was
not. however, to stop us: "move up" was
I the prompt order: and to the school house,
near by, we soon gathered, when the merry
dance and other pleasuies were continued.
Let me. before passing this portion of tlie
festivities, speak of the beautiful dressing
of the School house. It waa tastefully festooned
with pretty wreathes of Inurcl ami
pne showing that delicate bauds hud done
the work?and artistically done it too.
Once in doors, we laughed ut the clouds
for a while, when, as if by magic they dis.
pcrsed, and for n time the blue sky was
over us. To the music the young folks
dencwi, while the awe eedato m grwjx
sat hround. end talked wilh fin air of ease i
and comfort that well betokened happiness
for one day at least. I? was not loug before
we raw the matrons as they wended
their way to the adjoining woods: and hood
the beautiful contrast of the green and
white were risible to ever^ eye, as the
snow white cloths were spread upon the
green gra?s. And now, what a display of
everything nice ! I am sure that I am not
extravagant when 1 say, that even one
hard to please would not have ordered such
a variety from Pelmonico himself?and so
nicely prepared too It will blister your
mouth. Mr. Editor. I know, when I even
partially call over the list of nice things,
mutton, spring chickens, hams, salads,
&c., with all ofth? vegetables of the season,
followed with the choicest cukes, pies,
puddings, candies and delicious, strawberries,
nnd last, but by no means, tie bad !
old nine?home made?from the pure
grape, mellow and soul refreshing. Surely
f have mentioned enough. Coupled with
all of these delicacies I have never seen a
crowd enjoy themselves more; nnd too
much praise cannot be given to miss lotuigi
for her grand success in the whole management
of her school?culminating in this
most enjoyable affair. I know that she has
made another impression, deep ar.d lasting.
| upon the hearts of the young ideas. May
her school long prosper.
After an elegant dinner the dance was
resumed, and was kept up until late in the
evening, when wc all left, having felt that
it was a day long to be cherished as one of
our happiest.
What should wc say of our warm hearted,
genial host, Capt. Burdell. His attention
was to all?even the youngest ohild upon
the ground received his welcome. In fart,
he is the main pivot upon which turns everything
that is progressive and good upon
the West side of Waterte. Excuse this
humbly written and imperfect account of
the delightful day. Occasional.

Planting has been delayed in the clay

an early preparation of the soil.
Sandy lands have been planted earlier
than usual
Commercial Fertiliztrs have not betn
so extensively used in this locality as
heretofore. About the same acreage has
been planted in corn and cotton as last
year. A largely increased acreage has
been sown in wheat and oats, also an
* ??1 fl'U.
increased acreage 01 eorjjii um. xim
planting of cotton commenced the last
of March and will be finished early in
May. We usually plant this crop from
the middle until the last of April Corn
planted early in April is growing fas'.
Stands generally godtl. Cotton is not
doing so well, the nights are too cool,
stands of cotton are a good average
compared with former veers. Wheat
and oats are looking well and indicate a
full nvernee crop. There is some rust
in places but not general or extensive.
Land has been better prepared and more
domestic fertilizers have been used thnn
last year. Labor is more abundant to
hire by the month or year, hut has not
improved in quality or efficiency. If
i the office seekers would be considerate
j aDd kind enough to postpone their canI
until our crops were made they
would render a valuable eervioe to the
farmer. The discussion of political
questions between the farmer and his
einp'oyecs will not add anything to the
yield of his crop*, or to the efficiency of

The Confederate Memorial.
Fx-President Jeff rson Davie Speaks
In Fitting Terms of Our Goni
federate Dead.
i The following letter, addressed to a
I committee of citizens, was read at the
' memnrinl celebration in Macon, Ga., on
the 26th instant.
Mississippi City, April 21,1373.
Gf.ntlemfn : I pioecrely regret my
inability to be present at the laying of
the corner stone of''a monument to be
' ? A--1 \l.iiz... nn in linnnr nC nilf
ficrit'u at imutwu, u?.; ?? iivh?? v? v?.
dead Confederate soldiers." The event
possesses every Httrnction to me ; it is
inffrircd by the Ladies' Memorial Association
; the monument is to be located
in the key-stone State or the Conf?-d?Tnt''
arch; and to commemorate the
sacrifices of those who died in the defense
of out inherited and "inuli'-nable"
rights.
What though we were overborne by
numbers, and accessories not less efficient,
truth is not to he measured by
success in maintaining it against force ;
nor is the glory less of him who upholds
it in the face of unequal odds, but is if
not rather more to his credit ilia* be
counted all else as dust in the balnnce
when weighed with honor and duty ?
| On mnny a stricken field our soldiers
stood few and faint, but fearless still,
! for they wore the panoply of unquestioning
confidence in the rectitude of
their cause, and knew how to die hut
not to surrender. Let not any of their
survivors impugn their faith bv offering
the penitential plea that "they believed
i they were right." Ho it ours to transmit
to posterity our unequivocal testi1
mony to the justice of their convictions,
, to their virtues, and the sanctify of tb?i
i motives by which they were actuated,
i U ia moot that tfcii soeuipoot should
have originated with the ladies of the
land, whose self denial was conspicuous
through all the trials and sufferings of
war, whose gentle ministrations in the
hospitals, and at way-side refreetorios, so j
largely contributed to relievo the sick
and the wounded, and whose unfaltering
devotion to their country's causa in
the darkest hours of our struggle illustrated
the fidelity of the sez which was
last at the cross aud first at the sepulchre.
I am profoundly thankful to them for
inviting nie to represent thorn, as their
orator, on the approaching occasion.
Had it hern practicable to accept their)
request would have been, to nie. a comr i
mand, obeyed with no other nductnnce
than the consciousness of inability to do
justice to the theme. Thanks to tho j
raprits of our Confederate dead, they '
need neither outer ^or bard to commend j
their deed* to the present generation of
? *? c n r?_ c I
mcir counirvmen. many fn mi muui
home and kindred, and sleep in uumarked
zrnvcs, but all are {fathered in the love
of those for whom they died, nod their
memories are hnllowed ia the hearts of
all trne Confederate*.
By the pious efforts of oar people,
many humble cnicterice, such a?, in
their impoverishment, were possible,
have been prepared, and the Confederate
de?d have been collected in them from
neighboring battle fields. Thers annually,
with reverential affection, the
graves, alike of the known and the unknown,
are decked with vernal flowers,
expressive of gratitude renewable forever.
and tvnical of the hone of a rcsur
rcctlon nnd reunion where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary are
at rear.
To be remembered, honored, beloved
by their people is tho reward b.'stowed
on our Confederate dead. It U tho
highest which a good and purely pariotic '
man could desire. Shouhl it be asked,
why then baild this monument ? the answer
is, they do not need it, but poster-!
ity may. I*, is not their reward, but;
our debt. If tho greatest gift a hero!
gives his raco is to hare been a hero, in i
order that this gift may he utilized to
coming generations, its appreciation by i
contemporaries shoul l be rendered as
visible and enduring as possible Let
the monument, rising front earth toward
heaven, lift the minds of thoro who come
after us to a higher standard than the
common test of success. Let it teach
that man is born for duty, not lor expe-}
diency: that wlico an attack is made on i
the community to which he belongs, by |
which be is protected, and to winch his
allegiance is due, his first obligation is
to defend that community; and that,{
under such conditions it is better to have
"fought nnd lost than never to have ;
fought at all." Let posterity learn by
this monument that yon commemorate
mm who died in a defensive war; that
they did not, as has been idly stated,;
submit to the arbitrament of arms the
question at issue?questions which involved
the inalienable rights inherited
from their ancestors and held in trust
for their posterity?but that they strove ]
to maintain tho State sovereignty which
their fathers left them, and which it
was their duty if possible to transmit
to their children.
Away, then, with such feeble excuse
for the abandonment of principles |
which may be cru>bi-d for awhile, but i
which, possessing tho "ternal vitality j
of truth, must in its own good time pre- I
vail over perishable error. |
Let (hie monument teach tbat hero-:
ism derives its lusfro from the jastice of i
the cause in which it is displayed, nnd 1
let it mark the difference be wen ?J
war waged for the robber-like purpose
of conquest and one to repel invasion? !
to defend a people's hearths and altars j
and to maintain their laws and liberties.,
Such was the war in which our heroes i
fell, and there is the crown which spark- j
lea with the penis of patriotism and!
righteousness, with a plory uudimmed
by nny motive of aggrandisement or intent
to inflict ruin on others. We present
them to posterity a? examples to be
f.'flowed, and wait securely f?r the verdict
of mankind, when knowledge shall
have dispelled misrepresentation and
delusioo. Is it unreasonable to hope
.l-. <i a -
iriui uiiiiur** ri'iiuciitju auu a tivnci diu ji
of tho political history of the Union may
yet restore the rights prostrated by the
passions developed in our long aud
bloody war .y If. however, it should be
otherwise, then frora our heroes' graves'
shail come in mournful tours the
"Answer fit:
And if our children must obey,
They must, but thinking on our day,
T'will less debase them to submit.'
l'ours, faithfully,
Jefferson Davis.
