Freshet Damages.?A good many
planters on the river lost seriously in
their corn crops by the late freshet. We
understand that Mr. J. B. Hammond
estimates his loss nt 1,000 bushels, and
Mr. J. L. Gettys at 2,000 bushels. These
two gentlemen are perhaps the heaviest
losers in this neighborhood.

exchanged, but no blood shed. The

School of DeKalb street colored Methodist
Ohurch, and we simply make a
1 plain statement wben we say that the

singing especially delighted us. This

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

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

It appearing to the Court that the
recommendations in the presentment of
the grand jury that C. McRae and

A RADICAL MEETINO CAPTURED.

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.
The Stepping Stone to Health.
The acquisition of vital energy Is the stepping
Btone to health. When the system lacks v ltallty,
the various organs flag In their duty, become
chronically Irregular, abd disease Is eventually
Instituted. 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. Appetite returns,
the system la refreshed by healthful slumber, tbe
nerves grow strong ami calm, the despondency
begotten of chronic Indigestion and an uncertain
state of health disappears, and that sallow
appearance of the skin peculiar to habitual In

A Ulan of a Thousand.
A Consumptive accidentally cured. When
death was houily expected, all remedies
having failed, and Dr. H. James was experimenting
with the many herbs of Calcutta,
he accidentally made a preparation of Cannabis
Indica, which oured his only child
of consumption. His child is now in this
country and enjoying the best of health.
Desirous of benefiting the afflicted, the
Doctor now gives this Recipe free, on receipt
of two stamps to pay expenses. There
is not a single sympton of Consumption
that it does not at once take hold of and
dissipate. Night sweats, peevishness, irritation
of the nerves, failure of memory,
difficult expectoration, sharp pains in the
lungs, sore throat, chilly sensations, nausea
at the stomach, inaction of the bowels,
and wasting away of the muscles. Address

CONSUMPTION CURED.
An old physician, retired from practice, having

missionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure for
consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and

radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous
complaints, after having tested Its wonderful
curative powers In thousands of cases, has felt
It his dnty to make It known to his suffering fellows.
Actuated by this motive, and a desire to
relieve human suffering. I will send, free of
