The Lynches Creek Bridges.?

terially the trade of Camden;

Antioch.?At a meeting of Anti- j
och Democratic clab on Saturday even- (
ing, Capt. T. H. Clarke, who was pre#- ,
ent by special invitation, delivered a
capital campaign address. The atten- !
dance was large, many ladies gracing j
the ooccasion with their presence, and ^
much good feeling prevailed. We re- |
gret that the want of space prevents US j
from giving a report of Capt. Clarke's |
speech. ? *'*- - - - j
Tndionant.?Those men were indig- 1
nant the other day when they read the j
letter of a prominent State official tell- e
! iL.i ll It i I) ,
log men) inai tnej "uauuui<. no uudcrstand
the official is a candidate for
renomination. If such be the case, we
wpnld advise him to make haste and
inform those boys that they "can."
Otherwise, ho will not get the vote of
Kershaw, if tbeir influence can prevent
it.
U. S. Court.?A number of persons
from Korehaw have been tried in the
U. S. District Court, now sitting in
Charleston, with the following result:
Simon Mcllwain, colored, convicted of
perjury; Joseph Daren, George Dnren,
Robert Dye, and Henry Stover, all oolored,
indicted for perjury, were placed
upon trial, but the jury tailed to agree
upon a verdict, and a mistrial was orlered
in their case; Dial R. Flayer,
pleaded guilty of having retailed whiskey
aud tobacco without lioense.
Frost .-Farmers generally were badly
frightened on Thursday evening last,
the wind having shifted to almost due
north, the sky being as clear as crystal,1'
sod the mercury dropping far down to?
- . ill J* ?_l T
wards freezing point, aii were leariui r
that corn, cotton, vegetables, fruit snd i
10 forth would go up before morning.
But morning came, and with it only a 0
light frost ic some places, which did t
but little damage. It is now thought f
that we will not have another frost "un- t
til the full moon in October."
Let it Alone.?Deputy U. S. Mar- J
shal John A. Boswell received a letter *
from Collector Bray too stating that is
a violation of the Internal Revenue law
for planters to keep tobacco on hand for
their employees and let them have it at J
cost. We do not believe the Courts
c
would sustain suoh a construction of
the law, for a person keeping in bis
possession a box of tobacco or less for ^
the purpose mentioned, and disposing of 1
it withont profit, cannot be regarded as
a "dealer" in the article, Still it may i
be well for those ooncerned to keep .
their eyes open.
Pic Ntc.?The pic nic given at Du?
Bose's Mill on thursday last was a de- 1
cided sucoess in every particular. At
an early hour a small party leil Camden e
and reached the mill about 10:30 o'clook. t
They were joined by friends out there, t
and the usual pleasures of suoh occasions i
were enjoyed to the fullest extent?that
of fishing, riding on the water, gathering c
flowers, telling tales, etc., and last, but ]
not least, a most elegant dinner. Tbe
parties from Camden did not return
until a late hoar ; bat tbey all agreed
that the day spent out there was long
to be remembered as one of the most
pleasant of this season.
Annual Parade.?The annual parade
of tba firo department, under the
direction of Chief Goodale, took place
on the evening of tho 13th instant, the
procession forming at the intersection of
Broad and York Streets, and, preceded
by the Helicon Band, marching np tbo
former to DeKalb, thence countermarching
to in front of the market,
where the several companies were reviewed
by the honorable intendant
and wardens of the town. The review
- A .4 Al_ _ i
was in every respect sausiaciory, too
companies being full, and the engines
in perfeet order.
Diath.?Wilson Williams, a well
known and most reliable colored oitireo
of Camden, died on Sunday evening
after a protracted illness. Of bim it
can be said that be was an honest man.
Though born and reared a slave, he did
not, when suffrage was given to bis race,
abuse his citizenship by allying himself
with the political adventurers who took
possession of the oountry immediately
after reconstruction. On the contrary,
bo thought and acted always with the
bite people, whose respect and confio
dence he commanded to the time of his
death. Wo may well say a good citizen
and on boncfet man if gone.

- Genuine Patriotism.?We learn
from a friend that the aged and venerable
Mr. Jas. Team, whose locks are
now whitened by the frosts of nearly
eighty winters, and whose life has been
one of reotitnde, declares that, while he
thinks it an outrage that the Goreton
Mill box has }>een abolished, nevertheless
he intends next November, if
his life shall be spared, to come to Gamden
and vote for Hampton, if he has to
be brought upon a pallet in a wagon.
He has been confined by illness to his
house for several months. This ringB
like the true metal. We wish him a
speedy restoration to health.

arge number of the patrons and <
Yienda of the two schools. After the

The Sons of Temperance.
Mr. Editor: I cannot let the oppor.
lunity pass without calling to the notico of 1
he good people of (hie community that
.hey hare in their midst an Order which
ins done and is doing more for the ameliora- 1
tinn nf the condition of the abandoned t
lrunkard titan any other organisation of
he kind in the land. I refer, of ccarse, to '
he'Order of the Sons of Temperance. The (
meetings of Wateree Division No 9 are as
regularly held as the night of each Monday
in the week comes around. Men. noble
md true, with women fair and devoted to the }
principles of the good cnuse, regularly as. 1
tenable at their hall, and by their united ]
presence seek to woo the young from their
:ups and the middle aged from his un- 1
teeraly dissipation. The presence of the ,
levoted ladies alone at each meeting lends
[o the oocasion an interest unmistakable |
besides which, their contributions in the
ihape of reading matter of proso and poe- 1
try of a character suitable to enforce some <
useful lesson, or containing some thrilling
incident of woe and misery produced 1
by add much to the entertainment of |
the evening. Nor Is this all. Ever
ind anon they vary the interest taken 1
in the meetings of the Division by gits i
' '* - ; .... i
Lag sociable entertainments, to. .which all
I of the families of members are invited.
Such an one was held at the Hall of Mr.
James JoneVon Wednesday evening last.
A gentleman, by the way, who Is always
publio spirited, and every ready to contribute
the use of anything he has for the
publio good. When the writer arrived at
the hall be was surprised to find it crowded
with about two hundred ladies and gentleman.
But l'ttle time elapsed, however,
when a full band of music, under the
leadership of Ben Timbers, struck up a
lively air and announced with thrilling effect
the welcome words : "gentlemen choose
your partners for a quadrille." Then, Mr.
Editor, commenced a scene of enjoyment
and pleasure which will need a more gifted
pen than I have to depiot. Suffice it to say
they kept it up until the gray streaks of
dawn' announced that another day was
about to demand her own before they
retired from pleasures weary march to seek
their tardy couches.
But another feature of this merry-making
deserves a passing notice, and that
was the supper. Now, Mr, Editor, I am not
disposed fo exaggerate; but turkeys, ducks,
geese, chickens, hams, sardines, oysters,
salads, cakes, etc., and snoh a quantity
that it beggars description, all or which
was washed down with good iced lemonade
end?the best of all?good icecream. Take
this occasion through, it was one of the
most pleasant evenings the writer has enoybd
for a long time.
And for all of this pleasant entertainsent
is the Division indebted to its lady
? r j u.. n ....
nemoera. mrs oihn ??. uu ian.u. ?ci<
!Terywher? waiting upon the tabic, and
Mrs. S. and Mrs. G. were likewise earnest
n their offsets to make the occasions a suo>ess;
and a success ft was, decidedly and

Many farmers are planting their coton

A man with the blaokest' whiskers

The doctors are kept right busy in

The idea of a fire or ten thousand

A few thousands floating around as

It is said that General Kennedy, in

Primaries or no primaries is the go

as final the settlement of the ques*
ion, and to work unceasingly for the
luccess of the party.
We surrender much of our space this
reek to the admirable address delivered
ay General Chesnut on Memorial Day.
[t is a fine production and will be read
with intense interest by old Confederites
and their nta dcscenda everywhere.
The people of the county are diseus?

same object in view?the success of the
party in the next election, and to that
cud nil will harmonize, however the
rubje'ert may b'e decided.

Jambs R. Maoiil, Seoty.
From Tiller's Ferry.
Mb. Editor : Since the late county convention
polities have not been much attended
to, for people out here learned long
ago that 'he that by the plough would
thrive must mmseir euner noiu or ann.
That which concerns us most, just now, is t
the damage done to the cotton and wheat {
crops: that to the former by cut-worms and
to the latter by rust. 1
Perhaps it would not be amiss to men- f
tion that the opposition to Primary Elections
has gained strength since the meet- (
ing of the convention; the why's or where- }
fores I do not now propose to state. t
I took a trip on Monday .last to Darlington
C. H., and the first object that 4
claimed attention was Kelley's Bridge on
Lynches Greek, a miserable trap on whioh
people often have to risk themselves and
their property in attending to their legitimate
business, and I am told that Gardner's
and Stoke's are no better. I was told that
the Darlington Board are ready to rebuild
Kelley's Bridge and are only waiting on
the Kershaw Board to join them in the
work. In fkct, I was requested to inform,
perhaps they said request, our chairman
to attend to the matter forthwith, as the
Bridge must be rebuilt. The Board will
therefore <*take due notice and govern itself
accordingly." Kelley's Bridge is op- '
posits a fine farming country in Darlington,
and its importance to Oamdcn certainly is 1
not generally known ; there is bnf a moiety J
of the produce raised over there that ever
finds its way to Oamden. It is either sold
at other points or shipped to Charleston by
the Oheraw & Darlington R. R.f and North
Eastern R. R. I was told by a prominent
gentleman in the neighborhood of Hartsville
that, owing to the exorbitant freights
charged by the roads over there, he believed
all the cotton raised in that neigh- j
borhoqd would be hauled to Camden ir
there was a sni table bridge on the creek, and
that the people would save money by so
doing?this Bridge should be rebuilt at all
hamrds, before the present crop will be
ready for market; and why can it not be
done ? Has all the Bridge Tax collected
daring the last ten years, been expended
on that imposition of a concern formerly
called the Wateree Free Bridge T t
Well, I must close as to the Bridge. I 1
did expect to have ''something to say '
about the ravages of the cat worms in Dar- l
lington also something about the broad 1
fields of cotton and small patohes of corn,
also what they think of the politioal outlook,
and also what they think of primary
elections; but time and space will not allow
me to dilate just now on these subjects.
