"Axes to Grind"?Under this heading that excellent paper, the Ab Seville Medium, has this to any ; "Keep your ey a open. Watch out for combinations. The wire-pullers and the ring roasters are at work day and night. They mean to put their fa voritea in office if they destroy thr country and the party by so doing. Teach them that the common people, the people who follow the plow, whose hands are hardened by toil, have rights which are in no instance ever to be surrendered without a struggle. Now is the time to strike a fatal blow at the heads of that class of men who think they possess all the wisdom of the oen-1 tury. and they alone arc to be consulted! in shaping the policy and regulating the affairs of a country generally. Cut them down S The victory in 1876, was not won by any auch champions."

II Kershaw County now has twenty-two a vide awake Democratic Clubs. n a: The Kershaw Guards are making rery arrangement for a good tims on ^ he Fourth. No slip this year. This is the uni- * -ersal sentiment of the Democrats of n Cershaw County. The worms and bugs that are on the fi abhage ! TIow can they be destroyed * nost effectually and speedily ? c Tlie price of bacon, corn, and calico, " md 'rerrthing else in the way of food n ind wearing apparel continues low. The recent hoary rains hare inter- ? ered somewhat with the supply of cat o ish. Parties hsre not been able to fl n ret. to their baskets and hooks. o . . I The country people say, just give hrm time to pet their crops laid by. nd they will then meet anybody more hnn half way on the subject of politici. Blackberries are abundant this year, md are s<dd in quantities both large ind small in this market at prices rang* ng from two to three cents per quart. The curiously inclined are anxious to tuow who it was that destroyed that maguificent intention the other day be:ause the hail ruined his watermelon irop. But we will not tell his name. "O Q v Replies to Infantry/ ft Mr. E'llhtr :?Tn the Journal of thoBj 11th inst . there is a communication lj Irom 'Infantry,' of Flat Rock, oomment-lh ing on an item of 'G* Q .' in tho Ker-n diaw Gnzifle. relative to an infantry courB? party that had to be hacked up agnins?Bf I fence, etc, Infantry's article indicate*^ some feeling in ihn matter, and wr have heard with sorrow that it had be is^m" a sure sohjeet to some of the members of the Flp.t Rock company To disabuse the minds of any who may have taken offence, G.

Hut 'In-H fantry' gives G. Q some gratifying and p gratuitous information . lie says that . '.he company he represents ha* not only ' -nado considerable proficiency in fits 'actios of Upton, but that when i necessary they can mount a horse (?or * tnu/e,) without backing him against a res or fence. g We heartily congratulate them on | heir proficiency in this respect, and | would urge a'l embryo cavalrymen to fl commence th'ir lessons Hod do likewise 9 It is rather an ungainly sight to see hB company of cuvalry hacking up agsinml. n fence preparatory to mounting. 9( "Infantry" goea further and states fori I'he information of G.

The procss of Iiqnidation appears to hove progressed far beyond its culmination. During the first qnarter of th>year, failures wero fully as frequent as at #ny tiaie since the panic, and that fact produced much discouragement, but once then there has been very marked ibatement of suspensions, notwithstan 1 ing the temptations nfford-'d by the re peal of the Bankrupt Act, and the opinion is paining ground that this ditninu*! :hn of failures will prove permanent. I 5. There hss been a marked recent! inprovenipnt in the finances of many of! >ur corpnrnfe properties. The earnings! >f the raI'ro td.s- show a steady increase.! ind soni<? of them are on the point of re-H mming dividends which have long sus-l tended payment* to their stork holders. )thfrs rhat have been worked under re-1 ;eivers are consummating a remn*truci?n under auspices more favorable than tave been expected. The coil and ironj 'ompuni< a also exhibit symptoms o!" re-j irerv. although in their case the itn-J irovement comes very slowly. This re-' every in our corporate interests is an unleniable evidence that the general trade f the country, to which they arc sub-, errient. is also improving. I fi. We have now the assurance of very] irgc crops. The area under grain is, inch larger than in any previous year; nd in spite of recent storms, thp crops] a the West are in fine condition and j romise an abundant yield. The cotton, crop is not only a largo one, so far as csprcts acreag, but it also unusually, ar'y and gives all the promise of a *i trge yield that can be afforded at this! tage of the growth of the plant. Withfi he present prospects of the maintenance J f peace in Kurope, we cannot reasona-J ly anticipate liieh prices for our ex-? orts of brcadstnffs; but what we mayj ?e in on the vastly larger home con-S umption. cheap bread being always V onducive to genera] prosperity andj opular content fcj The changes sketched by the Bulletin1 re such as most vitally affect confidence J nd National prosperity.
