The Guards.?The Kershaw Guards
were out drilling again on Friday evening,

progress they are making in becoming
familiar with the manual and various j
manoeuvres which, being according to
Vpton's tactic, arc new to old soldiers,
who learned Hardee's to perfection.

A Revolutionary Relic.?We
were shown the other day by Capt.
James I. Villepiguo a three pout.d cannon
bill, which was found upon bis
premises just south of the site of the!
old Cornwallis House. It is evidently
a relic of the revolution, and as such
C'apt Villepigue will preserve it for future
generations.

New Flour.?Mr. Ifcuj. M. Pcarcc
has the credit of having gathered and !
prepared for the mill the first load of!
wheat, which was converted into the
finest quality of flour on the 20th ultimo

who has tried it Fays it is economy to
produce our flour at home.
An Expert Swimmer.?A few days
i
ago a young man of Cauiden lost a gold
ring in the factory pond while lie was j

The young men of the Hanging Hock

Lieutenants; J. V. Welsh, 1st; J>. N.

rank and iile, and it is expected that
many others will join soon.
Ccrsi.vu on the Street.?Abram
Knglish, colored, h^ing rlightly under
the influence of fj?iritns frummti Saturday
evening, made himself very disorderly
by cursing on Broad Street in
front of the store of Capt. J. W. Mc"
Curry. Policeman Pock Carter, also
colored, happened aloug about that
time, and taking charge of Abram I' d
him with great difficulty to the guardhouse,
where ho remained long enough
to learn that it is not well to violate the
town ordinance in reference to the use
of j/rofauc laogutige ou tbc atiects.
[ DtSAI H.JNTKI).?The exeuisiun to
Charleston on the -2l?th ultimo was aj
failure so far as Camden wmrcottcornrd, I
though several of our people wished to
avail themselves of the nppojtuitity to
visit Charleston. An excursion train
was advertised to leave Camden on that |
day, but somehow or other it didn't j
come, and many wore disappointed.
Frauds.? Wc are indebted to S*nn-'
tor John T?. Co?hrnn, of Anderson'
County, for a copy of the report of the
Joint Investigating Committe. of which
he was Chairman, in the matter of the
election of Honest John Patterson to
thfl Foiled States Senate. The report
is rich reading, and shows up in their
proper color? the harpies who feasted
so long upon the vitals of South Caro* 1
Una. I
Another Democratic Club.?The!1
Democratic voters living between Flat!1
Rock and Buffalo, finding it inconvcn- ,
ient to attend the meetings of the club at j1
either of those places, met on the 25th 1
of May at Magarie School House and '
organized with the following officers : 1
W. R. Bruce, President, Ann>8 '

Jones. 2nd Vice President; Jauics V j(
Welsh, Corresponding Secretary; and j1
J. E. Truesdcl, Recoading Secretary1'

At Large and Armed?Kmprson
Benjamin, colored, who was convicted
at a rceeut term of the U. S. District
Court, and who escaped from the dep- '
u?5 marshal at Kingsville, is said to be '
lurking in the neighborhood of his '
home on White Oak. and is represented
a? being armed to the troth and deter
mined not to be arrested. He would
do well to Darn a lesson from the fate
of David Huison who ventured to resist '
ariest a few weeks ago. One cannot
Gght the law with impunity.
I
Lend us Your Ear.?We do not
believe in making a dunning machine '
of a newspaper, u<r have we been be?- '
tin? delinquents once a week, once a
month, or even once a quirter to pay1
un. But the priuters must live, our
creditors must be paid, and we arc
obliged to have money. So persons j
who are indebted to this office will
p'.pase bear in uiind that we have not
forgotton them, and that in the present
emergency we will be most glad to reeeivs
even a small amount of what they
owe us. ,
Jacob's Wf.i.l.?Can not our city j,
fathers have the well on Monument
Square cleaned out, and put in a condition
so that the water can be used ? i
Many of the people of the neighborhood
have to go a great distance for
water now, whereas, if thai well was in
fix, they could get it near at hand. It
is their earnest request that the council
will help them. They want a bucket
and windlass to it?not a pump?so ,
that the water can be kept puro and
good alwavs.
Seniors AVVI'.AY.? A serious diffi
cully occurre d at Lynche's ('rock, between
a couple of young tnen. Meesr.3.
George Newman and George Sowell, on
the 1 Stli of May, the former Leinpr seriously,
but not dangerously cut in the
hack by the latter. Trial Justice D.
M. Hethune was called in, and issued a
warrant for the arrest of Sowell, who
was. after some difficulty, taken in custody
by the constable, but effected bis
escape before they reached the office of I
the Trial Justice. Newman was doing
well at last accounts.
After Them.?Our worthy board
of County Commissioners are determined
to discharge their duty in all
things, but, if we may permitt"d to
judge from something that wc beard
the other dnv, they arc now and will he
as long as they remain in office right
straight after road defaulters. The
welfare of every community demands
imperatively that its public roads
should be kept in thorough repair,J and
(good citizens everywhere will endorse
i" J
the efforts of the Commissioners ,f>
i bring defaulters to punishment as the
Statue requires.
\ J).\.\?KROt:s Affair?On Saturday
morning as Cornelius Certain, was
jcoming with his wife to Camden, be'
was set upon just on the other side of |
the Depot Creek by Williatn and Thomas
lioykin, his brothers in-law, with a stick
and pistol. One blow from the stick
broke bis ttosc and others bruised bis
' body about tho oruis and shoulders'.
Thinking that they were intent upon
taking bis life, ho jumped from bis
wagon and dashed into the swamp,
, whereupon several pistol shots were
fired ut him. It happened that none of
tho shots took effect upon bis person,
and he made bis escape, arriving in
.'own a short while after the occurrence,
and making complaint to Trial Justice
DePass. by whom William and Thomas
Boykiu, n? principals, and Isaac l?oykin ,
and John Rhodes, accessories, were arrested
and placed under b >nd to app< ari
before the Court of Sessions this week
and answer to to the charge of assault,
and battery wi'h intent to.kill. The
j partus arc all colored.

*
General.?As fir as we have bc-tn
able to ascertain the determination Lv
tlie party under any aud all circutnstnn- j
cos, jiriinaries or no primarie?, is gen- |
era! ann>n<r the Democratic voters of
Kershaw County. And this is as it
should be. The difference of opinion,
which now exist in reference to primary
elections, are merely differences. All
are actuated by the same motive, and
have no other motive in view but the
success of the party at the polls on the
5th of November. It is but necessnry
for us to s'and together, and pull earnestly
together, and Radicalism will be (
killed in Kershaw fbr once and forever.
The Georgetown Railroad.?The
Georgetown Tours ami Comet of the 1
23d ultimo says that 254 shires have
been subscribed in the town of flenrfre- (
town to the capita' stock of the fJrorcc- j
town rnd North Carolina Narrow Guajre j,
Railroad. What lias Camden to say on ,
the subject ? and what does she propose
to do in the premises * A railroad .
From the coast to the mountains by wav
of Camden would be of inca'culablbenefit
to our town and to the people in
ill of the up country. The nad wil j
rnmc this way if we put forth a little |
effort to get. it. If we do not, it will go ,
by Uishopvillc to Monroe, N. 0. In |
that event, Camden would he most offactually
left out in the cold. (
,;ITe Didn't Mean It."?Some
lime since a squib uoder this head ap- T
peared in the Journal. It had refer- (
ence to a good Democrat and friend of ,
ours who, in a fit of passion with a littie
despondency, declared that he would c
not vote for Hampton because flic t
limes arc so bard. Strange to say no <
less than four persons, including the ,
gentleman alluded to, have conic for- ,
ward and pleaded guilty to the soft im- ,
pcachment, each thinking that we were
going for him. It is enough to sav .
lhat all acknowledged their error, took :
back what they had said, and are now :
imong the most enthusiastic Hampton (
men to he found in the County. A
man docs not always mean what he says.
We Mtst.?That we must, come t
mmII l,o victorious in the next
election is universally admitted by the ,
Democrats of our county. We arc now
standing, as it were, on a prec'piee ^
where it is very difficult to retain a
foothold; nor will wc be out of danger f
untii the top of this precipice is reached,
So is it with us in regard to the next
election. Should the Radicals once '
more get the reins of the government in
their hands, we are gone forever. Rut,
r?n the o.hcr hand, one more triumph
will p'acc us entirely out of dancer So 1
let every citizen, who calls himself a
Democrat, do his very best and stick to <
his party, primaries or r.o primaries,
and ours will be the triumphant party i
on the 5th of November.
i
Tun Isst'K.? Two y-ars ago the
Democrats of South Carolina showed j
'.heir ability, by organization and harmony
and unify of purpose to cop? sue
cessfully with the Radical party. This
time, however, the case is different Instead
of meeting aud putting to flight a
common enemy, the Democrats of South
Carolina, and of Kershaw county. mu?t
prove their ability to govern themselves,
to hold on to what they have already
gained, and to plant their colors further
within she camp of tlic enemy. If we
make a step backwards?if we fail to
carry the next election?it will be for
the want of harmony anion;; ourselves.
It will prove conclusively, that while
nble to whip out Radicals, we can not
povern ourselves, and are therefor* incompetent
to povern others. This seems
to us to be the real issue.

Go and See it.?The entertainment
to be given at Town Hall on noxt Tuesday
evening, the 11th in>f., ptouiises to
be the finest exhibition of dramatic and
tuusicul skill ever displayed by the Cam- '
den Juvenile Club. Those of our readers
who have witnessed their former cf- 1

to induce them to go ; but to others we
would say, '-'go, and you will come away <

Just Tiiink of it.?We understand ,
:hat our friend, who sonic time ago |
opened two books, one for the enroll- ,
nent of the names of office seekers and
mother for those not seeking office, has ,
received but seven names for that of f
he office seekers and about three hun- Ired
for the othrr. Cannot a fnc of the j
iffioc seekers be induced to withdraw .
heir names? There is no time now j
'or such dissension in our ranks. We t

Much Grain.?We hare before 1
nontioned the fact that more small grain {
hati usual was planted la?l fall. But '
vc had no idea that moro had been
ilantcd than Could bo gathered. But 1
:nch seems to be the case in some see- <
ions. Though nearly every store in i
Jamdcn had on hand early in the spring )
i supply of cradles and scythe blades, i
so saw a man the other day hunting t
ill over town for a blade, and could f
find one, and he greatly /eared
:hal he would lose all of his
'mall grain. The demand for harvestng
implements has certainly been great ;

' Pic nics rrrcnow of frequent occurren- j
ccs in tlio vicinity of Camden. One
whs postponed last Friday on account of
another, that of the Haptist Sunday (

How to tret over the summer, is a

Circuit Court.
At 10 o'clock yesterday Judce
\ldrich. accompanied by the Solicitor
ind Sheriff, entered the Ooart Room,
ind court was called to order.
The rolls of the Grand and Petit
Juries wra then called and excises
heard. Dr. W. R. Nelson was
appointed Foroman of the Grand Jury, j
jpho were then sworn.
His Honor then handed his com-:
mission to the Clerk, to be read to j
the court, after which Clerk Cly*
burn read his own commission.
His Honor delivered his charge to j
'lie Grand Jury. His first allusion was i
to the pleasure it pave him. tn be apain !
before them, after an absence of eleven
vcars from the bench, and under cireurn-!
stances so gratifying, in contrast to the I
past years of oppression, fraud and injustice.
The days of prosperity and
peace were apain dawninp upon us and
it was the duty of each citizen to work
fur their maintenance. No people could
feel secure without an upright bench, j
supported by an honorable bar. IIe|
w is sorry to see that a feeling of unrea-'
sonabb prejudice existed against the bar.:
The lawyers as a class were honorable \
and upright, and history showed the ser-;
vice they had rendered their country, i
In all the wars of our country, from the
Revolution, the barhnd furnished its full:
quota of true men. IIo felt mortified
to sec this prejudice existing.
His Honor especially called the attcntinn
of thr Grand Jury to their duty
in reference to the county officers. It.
was incumbent upon them to investigate
carefully and thoroughly each county
office and when any irregularities were
discovered to present them. The Trial
Justices, particularly, needed their attention.
They contributed much to the
inconvenience and annoyance of our
citizens. Many of them were ignorant
of their jurisdiction, and have pone so
- ------ ~r
Inr as to attempt in try CJsoa ui mu.^u , I
divorce and titles to land. Tlicy often do
more harm thau pood, in many instances
taking men miles away front their
work, and putrini? them to great trouble
and expense for a trivial mat'er. It
was the duty of the Grand Jury to
present these officers whenever wrong
was discovered.
The public roads and buildings were
under their survedanee, and it, was their
duty to seo that they were properly |
cared for.
His Honor said that there was one
thing needed to restore us to a ercatcr :
decree of prosperity, and that was work.
He was sorry to sec a disposition on the j
part of our young men to shun the1
farm, and seek to make a living as:
clerks or by other light occupations..
We should strive to make labor hon-:
orahlc, and our young men should he
made to feel that it was as respectable I
to earn their bread at (lie plow as
it was to measure cloth 01 weigh shot.
We have plenty of land and a line cli- i
mate, and by proper application of our
energies we could not only make a living,
hut add a profit to our substance each
year, lie hoped our young men would
take bold, and show what tlicv could
do.
llis Honor then referred to our poli
tical status. If.' ur;:p.I Ih?? people to
remember our present critical condition.
One fitmculo was not a victory, but
evervthinj: could be accotnp'ishcd by
united efforts. There should be no di
vtftiou. Ho hoped all would take uj
lesson from the past,and use every effort
to prevent a return of such disasters.
During his travels on his circuit he
had noticed that the crops were goner-,
ally good, but in nearly every instance ]
where a man had ten acre? of corn, he
had twenty acres of cotton. No peo-;
pie could expect to prosper by such I
planting. Common sense should teach j
us to remove our corn crib and smoke J
house from tho Wo?'., and keep them at
home.
His Honor concluded by hoping
Providence would be kind to us, and
that he would be able to carry out the
ends of justice in the cases to be tried
before him.
The Solicitor then announced that
he had several cases for tho grand jury,
which were handed to the foreman.
The grand jury then retired and soon
returned true bills in the following
cases :
State vs. James Carter?grand lar- ;
cny.
State vs. J. S. Gladney?assault and
- - - ...
battery with intent to kill.
State vs. A J. Pullman?forgery.
State vs. Daniel Brisbane?burglary.,
The case acainst .Toe Burgess, njias
Ceorgc Gardner for ar?on was vol. pro*~ '
fed, as were also those acainst Ben Mc.
fairy, B, S. Wallacp, Pulaski Perry and !
William Adams.
The first case called was that of the
Sfnto vs. James Cirter. grand larceny. !
Oarfrr stole'a cow and calf from Mr.
TT. H. Hall. The Solicitor represented
the State. Mr. Clarke the defendant, i
As the prisoner confessed the theft, |
two witnesses only were examined to j i
prove the value of the cow and calf, r
Mr. Hall and Mr. W. Lollis both tcsti-1'
fiicd that the'r value was twenty-five!
dollars. j |
The jury returned a verdict of guilty i ]
in about two minutes. Court then ?d- t'
journel to 10 o'clock to-day, when j J
Mr. Gladncy's ens-t will be called.
