" We learn that a party from South Carolina settled an "affair of honor" near i" the dividing line between North and South Carolina, in Anson County, one day last week. Two shots apiece were ie exchanged, but no blood shed. The ul parties were a Mr. Williams, of Camden, S. C., and a son of General Cash, of y Chesterfield. After the second shot, the <?\i affair was amicably settled, and all left the grounds as friends.? Monroe (Ar. C.)

All the pieces rendered by the . children, some of them very long, gave ' > evidence of careful training, and the ' singing especially delighted us. This ' Sunday school number* about two hun* 1 dred scholars, and is under the superin* r tendentcy of Rev. B. L. Roberts, the 1 I pastor of the church, with Miss C. A. ( - . t . m. I ! George as assistant superintendent. 10 them and the teachers much praise is ( due for the evident proficiency of the children. I In Uncle Sam's Clutches this ( Time.?Thursday night, Neill Blair j got on another dangerous drunk, and ^ immediately proceeded to look around 1 for the worse thing be could do. Beiog in front of the post office at the time the j spell struck him, he lifted up his foot k and commenced kicking the glass front. ( Before he oould be arrested, lie had sue- < ' ceoded in demolishing one of the large f glass panes that cover the general de- i livery boxes. He was carried before ? ? ? n j i United States L'ommissioner oucoerjaou k the next day under an indictment for 1 injuring a government buildiog, and, . in default of bail, was committed to jail ^ to await his trial at the next term of the j Uoited States Court at Charleston. I Went Overboard.?Ever since t Stokes' bridge, on Lynches' Creek, bus t been in so dangerous a condition, the t farmers of Darlington who como to Cam- 1 den to trade, have made it a practice to < unhitch their teams before crossing the <3 bridge, and pulling their wagons over 1 by hand. On last Tuesday night Messrs. I Dove Gilbert and J. Lewis Bennett, re* turning from Oamden with a load of purchases, arrived at the bridge when i it was quite dark. They went through , the usual routine of unhitching, and [ bad pulled their loaded wagon nearly B [ over the bridgo, when a plank tipped , up aod tumbled the wagon and oontents ? iuto the creek.

A collection of $5.20 was taken up it the Methodist Church Sunday morn* ng in aid of yellow fever sufferers. The sollection would have been much larger tad it been known that such a thing vas intended. We suppose that it was i spontaneous idea of Mf. Willson. The usual services were held at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Judge Pressley addressed the chilIren of the Baptist Sunday school Sunday morning. Owing to the absence of Rev. Mr. EVillson at the Richland Fork Campneotiog, there will be no preaching at be Methodist Church next Sunday. fuoiwol of fKn Tiantiflf x... W.V.^ r? Church still continues. Twenty-seven inverts were immersed last Sunday at Morrill's pond. We have heard several complaints of he conduct of bad men and boys during be services of Grace Church Mission it the Court House.

There were two cases and one death r? l:ii irun uuugesuvc wuuu au viuiucu *u nuc month of August. Mr. A. E. Nilea had his right band badly lacerated Monday, by being caught in a cotton gin. Messrs. Kirkley & Smith have opened this week a very attractive stock of cigars and smokers supplies. Our readers should be careful to res member that the trade and Mexican silver dollar is only worth 90 cents. The 15th of October, and not the 15th of September, is the date fixed when it is lawful to shoot game in this State. Two planters on the Wateree will send 20,000 bushels of rice to market this fall?one 8,000 and the other 12,w 000. Our Sumter neighbors hare their grand rally on the 21st. Kershaw will send her beloved sons to help her sister rally imposingly. Oue luruicr from Darlington invested the proceeds of five bales of cotton in fiour last week. He purchased from Brasington & Nettles. Mr. W. O. Gerald is opening quite a large and attractive stock this season. Mr Gerald says he always has the money to pay for cotton. A rattlesnake five feet four inches long, and having twenty rattles, wai killed last Friday by a colored mac. on the farm of Messrs, J. B, and F. B Phelps. J. W. McUurry, white, and Joht Wright Sr. and Marcellus Smith, colored, have been drawn from this countj to serve as petit jnrors at the Octobii term of the United 9tatei Court, Ther's is some talk of organizing a shooting club in this community. We know of several gentlemen around here whom we would bet on against Carver or Bogardos on an open Partridge hunt. To that man whom we heard abusing I Camden the other day, we will say in the lauguage of the late Mr. Orano: ; "The train leaves Camden every week (day, and thestearn boatquitejfrequently. wnn opo nnt nwnre of the fact." A CI Ua|/9 JVW U.v ? W It baa bceo noticed by a close observer in Camden that the sun rises and sets farther north'this season than within his recclleetion before, and be accounts for thi unusual warm weather in this way. Humor hath it that at least one wedding is not in the distant futuie in Camden. The contracting parties are trying to keep it very secret, bat if they had told us about it perhaps it woald not have appeared in the papers. We learn that Isaac English and one or two other leaders of the Radical party were out in the vicinity of Oakland last week trying to get up a meeting. They failed because they oould not persuade the colored people out there to come out to hear them speak, j A small party id baggies and on horsebaok, from about Bculah, drove into town early Sunday morning, and stopped at the Methodist parson age. What was afterwards done will be seen by ref -ence to our marriage corner. Ws Larn that a Radical meeting was announced to have been held last Saturday at Good Hope Church, twelve miles below here, was indefinitely post, poned because the leaders got wind that there would be a party of Democrats there to "call for a diviaioif;" A young lady had the misfortune to 'ose an express package, a few days since, containing $30. She supposes it. was dropped on Broad stroet, some* where between the residences of Mr. George Aldeo and Col. D. W. Jordan. The address on the package will direct the finder where to return it. CIRCUIT COURT. Upon the convening of Court Thnrsday morning last, a motion for a new trial was heard and granted in the ease of Henry Moore, convicted of perjury. Ben Johnson, convioted of riot, was sentenced to three months in jail. The following is the order taken in reference to that part of the present- i monf nf the Grand Jurv. which refers to the Free Bridge Commission: It appearing to the Court that the recommendations in the presentment of the grand jury that C. McRae and Conway Bell, with counsel, be appoint* ed by the Court to examine the ao counts of the Treasurer of Wateree Free Bridge cannot be granted, because, firs:, this Court cannot legally order a duty which by law devolves upon the grand jury for performance, to be performed by a special committee; and second, this Court could not, in this way, Compel the county to defray the expenses of such examination. It is ordered that the Olerk of this Court serve the special commission of Wateree Free Bridge with certified copies of so much of the presentment of the grand jury at last June term and this term of this Court as relates to said bridge, and said special commission, or their successors, arc hereby required, on the first day of its next term, to make a report of their actings and doings, aud tc file with the Clerk of this Court such additional account of their receipts and disbursements as will perfect their accounts already filed, and as will show the status of said L-!J? ?'" ?

On Saturday morning, Sept. 7th. onr r\ ?? Mil W H Trnnt l/OUUI>y tuill UJBII | ui, <1. ^ bam, having been informed that there would be a Radical meeting in Western Wateree, started at an early boor with" a small party from Camden to attend the same, and have a bearing. The party crossed the River at Che9nut's Ferry, and after a long and dusty ride arrived at Holland Harris' School House, the place of the meeting. There wt found a small party assembled, but the speakers had not yet put in sa appearance, they being concealed in a house near by as we discovered. Pres? ently one Devine, whose given name I did not l^arn, came forward, and in a few words stated that the meeting would be postponed, as they hud received no ?l?n(tor? in Dnrndnn. rt'jpuib UUU4 Iuwil ?VHWW?? ? w ?? The object of this negro was too apparent, however; they wanted to get rid of us, so that they could bold their meeting unmolested. About this time Dr. Nelson arrived, at the head of a body of horsemen, and the negroes see. ing that we were not going to leave, the meeting was called to order by a mulatto fellow, name unknown, who was, I supi pose, President of the Precinct Club, i Wesley Salmond,a negro about the color : of a ginger cake, was then introdaced. Both bia dress and bearing indicated ' some rank, but what it was I did not learn. He did not, however, like the i appearance of things, and had little to say, and there was very little in what he did say. Mr. Trantham being called r for, was then introduced, but preferred r waiting till the speakers of the other party were through) so that ha could ref i j ply. The Chairman then explained th< feeling in that section. He said theii intention at present was to put out ? mixed ticket, accepting certain nominees of the Democratic Convention and filling tho places of others with men from their party. Next came a white mulatto from fin glish's Mill?James Thompson?well known in Western Wateree. He had come lor the purpose of inflaming the minds of the colored people against the whites His speech was simply a string of assertions without fact or foundation, and explained the fcelinu in his section to be to run a straight Radical ticket, headed by A. S. Wallace for Congress, and J. F. Sutherland for State Senator. Mr. VV. J). Trantham followed in a well timed and impressive speech, completely demoralizing Thompson, and covering all of the ground necessary for a good campaign speech. In conclusion, Mr. Trantham told them they might come with us or not. as thev liked: hut in November we would roll up a majority that would place old Kershaw in the front rank of the Democracy, and show the Radicals how fruitless would be any opposition in the future. This speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and the rebel yell that followed carried us bade vividly to the campaign of 1876. Mr. Abe Rabon followed in an earnest and enthusiastic speech. The meeting then adjourned. The meeting was a perfect success, and we only icgret that there were not a larger number of colored people present. Mr. Tranham, in refering to this occasion, may well use tho words of the mighty Caesar, " Venil Villi I Vici!" Western Wateree seems wide awake, and roady for any emergency. SlGNIA. The Cotton Market. Camden, S. C., Sept. 11, 1878. Since Monday last we are able to re* porta little better condition for the market here, though without any change in price. The stringency which we reported last week was principally caused by the failure of the Bank of Charles* ton to forward funds to its agent here to meet Jthe drafts of operators. This difficulty has been overcome by buyers, having money sent to them by express, and sellers can now get full price for their cotton in greenbacks. Camden is the best market in the up-country, and the farmers often get within a half cent of the Charleston nriee for their ent.ton We quote the market as closing yester* day at 10 cents for middling with sales for the week of 144 bales.

To prevent this unnappy state things, the debilitated system should be built up by the use of that inimitable tonic, Hostester's Stomach Bitters which invigorates the digestive organs, and Insures the thorough conversion of food Into blood of a nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole system experiences the .beneficial effect.
