On last Wednesday information was iceived here that a grand Radical ow-wow would occur at Sumter on Satrday, at which several Northern leaders onld be presont. The information Iso brought with it an invitation to le Democrats of Kershaw to come own on that day. In response to the ill, about one hundred and fifty Derno ats left Cnmden Friday afternoon, hey proceeded as far as Tirzah Ohurch lat night, wbety they, ounped. It irried us back to the war to see the wwfiiw <1?>?l ~?tl_ around in the oods, and t^ a their jests with each other. RAPty" aturday morning a start was made. 7hen on the outskirts of Sumter the jlurnn was formed, and with cheers the oys marched in. The town was Iready, full of red shirts, with a large apply of the black element also. Our jtiuiate that thore were two thousand mite men and about one thousand egroes presect when all 4hc crowd had ome into town, Conspicipus in the proes9ion of the red shirts was a banner orn by a colored Democrat on which ppeared the words; "REMEMBER CAINHOlf." Early in the morning a proposition ras made to the Radicals to have but ne meetiog, allowing two speakers on ach side. After waiting sometime the I eply teas returned that the speakers ixpectec} by the Radicals had not arrived, and that they would only call heir forces together to dismiss them. iVe may ataje here, that it was reported hat Sam Lee, the arch-Radical qf Suraer, got so frightened that he got hioi" lelf locked up in Jail One thing is jertain?he wag not seen or heard ol >n the streets during the whole day What afterwards occurred is well related as follows, in the Oolumbic Register*: "The Democrats'"then formed a procession and marched to the depot.

We understand that the cause of th ie absence of Sam Lee at the radici meeting in Sumter last Saturday wa owing to the fact that he was hiding t i-1 avoid arrest upon the verv seriou | charge of having instigated the poison ing of the entire family of Mr. 0. H Moise, of Sumter, on tho occassion c the Democratic meeting at that ]>lac on the 21st of September, c The circumstances of the poisoning - are in brief, that on the day indicate* Mr. Moise had invited Gen. M. C Butler and other gentlemen to dine vritl him, at his home, after the speaking V For some reason Gen. Butler was uu able to do so, and wa9 not present - though expected up to the last moment After the dinner every member of Mr Moise's family, the guests present, th< ' servants and all who bad partaken o ^ any portion of tho bountiful feast pro , vided w?re attacked with violent paint 3 and other iudubitable and distressing: > symptoms of active poisoning. Medica aid was quickly summoned, and in mort r than one instance fatal cons?quenc<?s I- ? - 1 ? k?? f k n non nj , were uareijr uveneu ujr mu um.ij m ! antidotes. , An examination of several different articles of tho food remaining untouched revealed the presence of arsenic in all, 1 and confirmed the suspicions of Mr. ' Moi?e that the poison had been administered by design. The matter was kept t as quiet as possible, however, and a diligent investigation instituted, which soon discovered circumstances pointing strongly to Sam Lee as the would-be assassin, who had thus endangered the lives of a dozen or more innocent peo? > pie in a desperate attempt to procure t the death of one of the Democratic leader?. That he failed to accomplish his purpose, and more than his purpose, is considered to be wholly due to the fact of th* unusually large amount of food that had been prepared for the entertninmpnt nnd the conseauent weakening nf the poison, which had been distributcd throughout the whole. It may be depended upon that the matter will not be suffered to rest here, as a judicial investigation has been determined upon. It was the knowledge of this fact and of his intended arrest, it is believed, that occasioned Lee's absence from the streets of Sumter on Saturday ?News and Courier. An Explanation. Mr. Editor : Lest the public should be misled by the article in the Kershaio Gazette of last week, "Should be cared for." I quote from the Deed of Conveyance, dated November 24th, 1875 : "Excepting and reserving unto themselves, however, from said bargain, sale and release the two marble slabs dedicated respectively to the memories of Samuel Ma this and Rev. Isaac Smith, deceased. iSiliififr.gaitr pieces are fixed in and uponj^he me1 ruriffe? ngl!t*o? peaceably and quietly entering in and upon said premises, and within the said church building, for the purpose of removing the . said marble slabs whenever the same may suit their convenience." Nothing is said in-the indenture concerning'the tablet to the memory of W. P. Caston, hut I am sure arrangements can be made for its removal al*j. Perhaps this statement will quiet all nervous excitement. Yours respectfully, B. L. Roberts, Pastor M. E. Church. Camden, S. C., October 15, 1878. From Bnssell Place. As the time is near at hand when the Board of Examiners for Kershaw county will meet, to examine teachers who propose teaching in the public schools of this county during the next twelve months, I will take the liberty, of making n ? A Frnmmintr 4 lew Hug^esiiuus <ai mo i Board. I am the more encouraged to do so from the fact that two eminently practical teachers are members of jaid board. The qualifications of teachers have been based on -their abiU ' itv to read well, spell correctly, i write legibly, give correct answers to p questions in geography, arithmotio and English grammar, etc., A person may | bo proficient in all these branches of learning, and yet be incompetent to 1 teach others. Besides the education acquired in schools, a teacher should be a good judge of human nature, else , he will fail in governing his school. ' He should also have the aft of impartr ing knowledge others, and of adapting his mode of imparting to the eapacitji of the one to be instructed. There ar< ' few who po?sess this art-^-one of the f greatest factors in the make up of a j teacher. Hence, if the Examining j Board are not confined to a prescribed formula in examining and fixing th< grade of teachers, I would suggest that r applicants be examined as to theii ' capacity to impart knowledge, and t( j govern a school, as well as .to theii scholarly attainments. J. R. M. 5 October 9th, 1878. B b Resist the Devil and he will Flee 'i Me. Editoe : In reply to Mr. James E j Shaw, the law of righteousness forbids mi 1 | to give the pens and pictures that he si I !...ii..

Thes< e only show his prejudice, selfishness ant ignorance, and area disgracevto thehumai ' | family; hcuce. if he had his mind cultiva ted, it would not have brought thederisioi ' and ridicule he has subjected himself to r, But so much for blind stupidity, alwayi - leading her subjects into difficultly qui s bringing them to shame and sorrow; bu hopiug, in the oaso of Mr. Shaw, his sor J row may turn to be of u Godly nature tba will lead him to repentance: for Godly sor > row worketh repentance to salvation no to be repented of, but the sorrow of th world worketh death. Mr. Shaw says 0 confute myself by saying our teachings ar te before the world. So much for his iguc ! ranee?not enough reason to know fh I yifferonce between earth and the woric I He is of the world, and the wortd loves it I- own, and his teachers are of the work , hence our teachings are before the world 8 and. are logically, spiritually and powei id fully taught, and stand uncondemned. H , says his ministers are men of knowledge Then they uauBt be men of truth, able to shoi ;B heresy and detect error. Why have the; not done it, but suffered themselves brand ed and shown by immutible facts that the; are the false teachers our Saviour warm us of that would deceive *the elect if it wen ie possible ? They have gone in the way o i Pm'n on.i liov? mn creedilv after the crroi J| ...... ....... B ? Q of Balaam for reward, and will perish ii l' their own gainsaying. These be they wh< 0 separate themselves. Sensual, not having w the spirit?for there is nothing so vile n: i- to remain under such chnrges und refuse i< |# relieve themselves of them, and show to the ^ world that the doctrine set forth is heresj ' and vile stuff, as Mr. Shaw asserts, and e have classified himself as the fool by undertaking something bo could not do, exposing his ignorance, manifesting his folly, | showing very little more than the swine 1 could. Hoping this may prove a warning !" to him for time to come, to be more 1 careful and not let an imaginary self-exalted opinion of himself lead him astray; . and that he may learn the value of true wisdom which is only to be had of Qod, who ' will give to all that will honestly seek after it, of whoi'u I recommend him to", for he will have mercy and abundant pardon; ' and if he will not be .will have to b? banf ished with those that are low and mean . and those that will not prove a fidelity to the law of righteousness, but turn away from it into the blackness of darkness, - there together dwell throughout an endless eternity. i Mr. Shaw further asserts that to his i knowledge is hone that were consistent p members of the so-called churches. This speaks badly for him, that be has not trav elcd far from home, and his acquaintance - is so circumscribed; knowing but very little of what is going on with the world. *If he would travel north, south, and west, he would find persons who not only occupied a more piominent position in the way of living, than he himself does, but also > had a reputation equal to Mr, Shaw or any one so like minded in the so-called churches before accepting the true faith, and now having their minds cultivated as to know the difference between good and evil, who will teach him wisdom without money or price, and Bhow him what the ohurcb is and what constitutes a member of the church. And now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, I find two positions that are low and which is characteristic to the human family. One is low in purse, the other is low in principle, and I find Mr. Mr. Shaw occupying a position in the class last mentioned?too self-righteous and not enough charity about him to get himself and his fellowmen out of the sinful and degraded condition to which they havo sunk. Now let him lift himself out of such a filthy condition and be filthy no longer. Let him redeem and retrieve himself out of his lost condition and enter the first-class, (teach wisdom) if not in the first get into tie second (keep silent on subjects he does not understand,* and not enter ihe tkirdnny more tqtioxpose his ignorance and selfishness. Re can, if he will, be a child of wisdom and prudence May the good Lord give him power and understanding is my humble petition. Respectfully, A. L. Barnes. Swift Croek, September 29, 1878.
