in having the public roads worked, the
manner of callinf defaulters to account

law in a large degree inoperative, i

Tunv Out.??It is all important that i
the members of the Democratic clubs
should turn out and vote either for or <
against the system of primary elections 1
A full vote of tho pooplo on-this question,
which is now creating some cxcito

ever it is decided, to harmonize conflicting
elements than anything elseLet

of the people of Kershaw and
adjoining counties.
Hot.?Friday was the first really
hot day or the year. At four o'clock
in the afternoon, (he thermometer in
Dr. Young's store registered 93 degrees
Fahrenheit, while at other places in
town it ranged as high as 94 and 95.
Saturday dnd Sunday were alao very
warm, the thermometer from 93 "to 97

which nearly everything he had was
destroyed, has oocupled the- store one
door north of Messrfc. Kirktejr ? Smith,
has entered his mow store, built upon
the site of his former establishment, opposite
the store of George AldeD, Esq.
We congratulate him upon his return
home, antkwish. him abundant. success

Rattlesnake.?The prevailing oph)
ion that tho rattlesnake is exclusively
a highland reptilo has been controverted.
On Friday lbst, a party of
L'eVtlcinen, while fishing: on Black Lake
sonic thirty miles below Camden, came
upon one swimming across, with both
it* brad and tail out of the water.
They made short work of killing it.
and found that it had ten rattles and a
button.
Buffalo.?We have been requested
to announce that 4 meeting of Buffalo
Demomtic Olub will be hel#00 ^aturJay,
the 16th of June, at 2 o'clock p.
m. Business of importance will be
transacted, and a full attendance is earnestly
solictrd. Speakers from Camden ,
ind elsewhere will probably be present!
ind deliver addresses upon the leading
opics of the day.
Toll Rates.?The rates, tsiibliahed
the County Commissioners of the
Poll Bridee over Wateree River, are
ihout half those of the Camden Bridge
^ompauy, which had control of the
mdge at the nm? place until it was
jurned dy Sherman's army. But the
imount of travel is flinch greater now,
ind it is thought that the increased re:eipts
will justify the reduction of the
ariff.
Noi Confirmed.?The announce.
u f
nent in our last issue, that the appointpent
of Capt. J. C. Rollings as postnaster
at Carmden had been confirmed
>y the Senate, was based upon a state-:
nent to that effect in the telegraphic j
lews of our daily exchanges. A letter,

are again in order. ->
A Rat-Killinq.?Who is it that
ias not at some period of his life been
irescnt at and participated in a rat killng?
Such an occasion is always enoyable,
and four little boys?Jiinmie
Bnrdell, Johnnie Hammond, Jimmie
Ward and Boykin Ward?found it so
>ne day last week. They had a fine
ime in the barn of Mr. Wi H. Ward,
)f Western Wateree, killing in a short
;ime sixty-seven rats, which weighed in
-he aggregate ttrcnty four pounds.
"We Can't Afford to Fail."?
Thus spoke a modest -planter froit
Western Wateree the other day
?rence to the next election. No; we
;aftnut afford to fail this year. If we
do, we are pono forever ! The wel-1
faro of the present and of all coming
fenerations is wrapped up in the election
on the 5th of November. The
recollections of the pasjt and the hopes
)f the future prompt us to stand together
itird work manfully for our complete
deliverance. And the Democrats
)f Kershaw county will do this.

Camden allows it to be diverted tosome
oilier point.
Fire at RinorwAV,?Wo tako the
following from the Winnsboro N*tos and j
I/era Id:
On last Thursday night the res'i.,
dencc occupied by Mr. Alex. A. Walker,,
together with tbo kitchen and wellhouse,
was destroyed by fire. The fire
oecurrod at two o'clock in the morning.
The first alarm was given by Mrs.
Wulker, who awoke feeling the cinders,
fulling upon her lace. She at once
aroused Mr. Walker, and ho succeeded
in saving some articles of furniture.
His impression is that the fire was ofan
iucendiarv origin. Tbe property belonged
to tt>e estate of Jos. Lauhun.

A Railroad to Columbia.?How
would a railroad to "Columbia suit the
! people of Camden ? We think very
well. It would be a link in the Raleigh
& Augusta Air Line, which is now being
buiH, and would be of immense advantage
to this section in many other
respects. Columbia no doubt would
join hands with Camden in the
- - - r J
i enterprise, and *n a lew years wc wouia
1 be no longer dependent upon the South
Carolina Railroad for communication
with the ontsidc world.
"The Bridge Tax"?An error prevails
to a greater or less extent in some
sections in reference to the "Bridge
Tax," which the people of this county
havo been paying for several ycar3 past,
it being thought that the tax was intended
for the building and repairing of
all (he bridges over which the County
Commissioners have jurisdiction. But
this is not the case, the "Bridge Tax"
being authorized by the Legislature for
the building and repairing of Waterte
Free Bridge^ which has recently been
converted into a toll bridge.
Don't Slip.?A political slip up, or
down if you choose, in Kershaw County
this year would certainly provo very
disastrous to the Democratic party in
this county. The Radicals, who ouU
number us by several hundred voters,
would have their hopes revived, while
the Democrats would become correspondingly
demoralized at their inab'lity to
retain power once in their possession.
But there is no danger of a slip^ if every
man in our ranks will pnll off his coat
and roll up his sleeves and go to work
with the determination to win, come
what will.

Primary Elections.?The Democratic
rotors of Kerihaw County arc
called upoi\ to vo'e, on or before the
4th of July, on the naked question of
primary elections?shall we or shall wc
not have them in this county ? Should
the system be adopted, then it will bo"
n ?!
come the duty or tno oounvy Axecuava
Committee to arrange a plan for conducting
such elections; nod tl?is committee
may or may not adopt tho plan recommended
by tho State Executive
Committee. Thus far, no plan has been
adopted in Kershaw County, and no
" oath " will have to be taken in voting
upon primaries on or before the 4th of
July.
Fine Corn.?The most pleasing
sight thafmet our view during a journey
ou the Bishopville road last week,
was a field of corn belonging to our
good friend and patron, Mr. Thomas
Flolland. Tho corn is over waist high,
and the remarkable uniformity of its
size is the most attractive featureFrom
Mr. Holland wc learn that the
corn has been planted about six weeks,
and was fertilized only witlPboroc made
manure. lie also informed us that the
general yield from that field was between
thirty five and forty bushels to the acre.
Therefore the sight which was surprising
to us was no new thing to him
The Lynches Cheek Bridges.?
Our County Commissioners have been
giving theso bridges tho most earnest
consideration, and the probability is
that, at an early day, all complaint in
reference to their condition will cease.'
On the 14th instant rtiey met tho Darlington
County Commissioners at Kelley's
Bridge, which it was agreed shall
bo rebuilt forthwith. Our Commissioners
are ready to give the necessary
attention to the other bridges complained
of, and will do .so as soou as the
Darlington Commissioners will co-oper
ate with them. This intelligence will
be gladly received by people 'living upon
both sides of the big creek. VI

A Warning.?It in time that the
Register was protecting itself against
those who request the gratuitous use of
its news or advertising columna for charitablo
or other purposes, and then have
their job or other profitable printing executed
in other establishments. In future,
wo shall be forced to violate the
golden rule so far as to do unto others
as they do unto us.
So speaks the Columbia Register, and
wc doubt not every newspaper publisher
in the State has sufficient reason to endorse
it. Quito a number lately have
expressed thomsclres on this and kindred
grievances, and as tired of doing a
vast amount of work for nothing. It
is time the Press show that newspapers
are not public property, subject to be
preyed upon, and used as a convenience.
Our experience has been, that the more
that the publisher does of this kind of
work the less is his paper appreciated
when pay i9 demanded. We go in for
pay, with the privilego of bestowing
charity as the circumstances warrant.
The Washington Monument
A great many years ago, when Washington
was a much greater man than he
now appears to be considered, a colossal
monument in his honor began to be
built. Associations wcro formed' in
every State, and subscriptions from all
sides poured in. Etfrn foreign nations
contributed tablets and ornamental
stones to tho work. The design was a
pantheon, a hundred feet high, topped
by a shaft rising full six hundred feet
higher. It was to bo a big things two
hundred feet nearer Ilearen than any
structure ever previously erected, except
the fowor of Bibel. The engineers
in charge laid the foundation only eight
feet deep, on clay and sand. When the
monument wns a hundred and eighty
feet high the foundation sank, deflecting
the shaft an inch or so from the perpendicular.
Engineering stupidity and
a ee-s^fion'of public spirit manifested
in the way of subscriptions, brooght the
work to an impotent conclusion. There
it has rested for years, a disgrace to the
OQOfttry. Congress has just waked up
to the situation and "proposes to complete
the work, on a reduced scale, if it
Pc found that the foundation can be
strengthened. It is estimated that
three hundred thousand dollars will
erect the pile to the modest height*, of
four hundred and eighty-five feet. The
completion of a monument to the man
that never told a lie will be a pleasing
evidence of a great moral revival.?
