Fight.?Some three or four boys engaged in n little 'scrimage" in upper Broad street on Monday evening last They bad not been at it long before two big dogs come together right among the combatants, and this proceeding on the part of the dogs broke up the other fight immediately, for overy one seemed to take more interest in the dog fight than that of the boys. Poultry Thieves. ?We understand that some of our citizens are losing nearly all of their chickens and turkeys. Mr. Bronson lost five turkeys in one night last week. The idling loafers 1 around town must have something to live, on and they think turkey will do when nothing better is at hand, Set your spring gun, and it will step the thief that goes fooling around there. To Come Out on Bail-?On Thursday last Moses Small was brough t before Judge Kershaw on a writ of habeas corpus, Judgo Leitner appearing for the prisoner and Mr. Win. D- Tranthom for the State. After hearing the case. Judge Kershaw granted the writ, and placed the bail at $1,000, with three ^ ~ ~ ^ k/\ finnrnfflf] hv goon securities; uuuu iv ut ~j the Clerk of Court,. Moses Small (colored), is the boy who shot and killed Robert Young (whito), son of Issac Young of this place. The shooting occurred in August last. BuBOLARY.?On Thursday night last the store of Mr. J. M. Williams was broken into by thieves and robbed of over $500 worth of goods, consisting of boots, 6hoes, blankets, overcoats, shirts, watches, one pistol, etc. The thieves were very deliberate in their work, as they bad a lighted candle, and sorted out the most valuable goods in the house. We learn that no clue has vet been obtained as to who the thieves J -- - are. They effected an entrance by prizing open a window in the rear of the store, and. after they were inside, opened the lack dcor to take out their booty. Accident.?As Cnpt. Clarke wa driving home on Tuesday evening last, and when at the foot of the red hill, il,o TCi-idrrr> lii? hnrse took ??? n-5 fright nnil ran away. Capt. Clarke fell forward, where he caught on the shafts and was dragged along distance, bruising him pretty badly. His little son BoyKin, fell between the shafts and the axle-tree, getting one arm caught, and also dragged about about two hundred yards, bruising him up very severely; however, they are not seriously injured. Mr. Aleck Boykin saw the runaway . team coming towards him, and he manf aged to stop it. What they Wanted to do.? We understand that it was the intention of the Radicals to capturo the polls on last Tuesday and hold them all day thus preventing the Democrats from voting ; but they soon found that such a plan could not bo carried out aod then they were advised by their leaders not to vote at all, so tbat there would be an excuse for them to contest the election under the plea that tlioy were intimidated, From 12 o'clock till G P. M., there wcro hardly more than fifty votes polled at both boxes in Camden, and the way was open lor any who chose to do so; but no persuasion could induce the Rads to go up and vote. Some wsre even carried up, and thou the^y refused to do so. r I Last Celebration Before Kleg ' tion Pay.?Last Saturday was ap pointed by the Democratic Kxecutiv* ' Committee of Kershaw County for ; grand rally of all the Democracy a Camden, and in response thereto i larce number of red shirts appeared 01 , the streets early in the morning, and bj ten o'clock Broad street was crowded About 11:30 o'clock the procession wai formed and marched up DeKalb streel to Hampton Square, where they were entertained by most excellent addresset from Messrs. Clarke, Del'ass, Kenuedy. and ShannoD.. The Radicals hel^ their mass-uieeting at the same time, and sent a committee to tho Democrats requesting a division of time, which was fraukly granted, aod a committee of Democrats sent to inform them of the fact, but the Rads did not put in an appearauce, neither did they give any reason for not coming. Runaway.?A novel case of running away occurred on DeKalb street last Friday. An ox team was coming down the street at the rate of about one mile ? L? . .v. i j | an nour / me oi uuiiaiug tunu mo head as if he was tired of life, and wishing that liy; days for work were orer, when suddenly h'e raised his head up and looked around as if a bright idea had flashed into his mind?he wanted his liberty, aud he would have it. He started off at a lively trot, defying all efforts of {he driver to control him. When opposite the hotel, he saw a tree that ho thought would relieve him of the wagon, so turning sharp around he run the wagon agniDst it. This scheme was successful, as the wagon was upset and he divested of all the harness. He appeared to be perfectly satisfied with the result, and turned round and Jgaaed quietly upon the wreck, looking as innocent as a Chinee cigar vender when cuught stealing peanuts from an old ap pie woman. A Man of Hjs Word.?We were indeed gratified Tuesday to see our good friend Mr. Jas. Team in town. He is literally a man of his word. Last spring when t.he willows first began to bud, and the trout to run, this noble old three score and ten year son of South Carolina, said, "I mean to be at the polls in November, even' if I go upon a bed." He has been here, and his conduct in the matter is praiseworthy and makes us feel proud of that portion of Western Wateree, which has always been to us a place of pride. It is in striking contrast with some of younger years, and while we give 1.1. A,. praise to our venerume incuu iv>i uvm^ his duty while the hand of diease held him strong in its ruthless rivet, we will cot forget to pay our respects in our next issue to those who. to-day while our mother stato is being strangled,have failed even to raise a finger in her defense. God is truly merciful to spare such peoplo. BREVITIES. The Indian summer is nearly over. Good news from nearly tho whole State. During the past week the weather has been very pleasant. _ Quantities of oats are being sown around Camden this season. Now our forests are painted with all the hues of the rainbow. Nearly all the cotton crop for this season has been gathered in. Only a few small quarrels and several dog fights on election day. Kershaw county is now thoroughly purged of Radicalism. Democratic medicine, pure and simple, did the work. Many farcical and amusing scenes were enacted during the day Tuesday. To be appreciated they must have been witnessed, The firing of the cannon on Broad street last Saturday broke a great many window glasses in the houses near where the firing took place. "A stitch in time" &c. So thought those study Democrats who went to the polls "just ahead of the Radical cohorts two hours beforo the boxes were opend, and flayed tlieve! The Radical ruffiians, after they found out that they could not take possession of the polls and hold them throughout the day as they have always done heretofore became utterly demoralized. We have the authority of our County Chairman for saying that the Democratic clubs of Kershaw county may now go into winter quarters, but must preserve their organization intact for the next campaign. The Impression got out among the Radicals at an early hour that the Democrats wanted them to vote the Radical ticket. "Fearing the Greeks even with gifts in their hands," the] wouldn't do it. Poor, deluded * vilHans. After order was effected at the polls at half past seven o'clock in the morn' ing, and arrangements made for th< voters to come up without beiDj "scrouged," the Radicals would no ! vote, thereby showing that their ohjec I in tho beginning was to make them selves masters of tho situation. For the first time iu twelve years _ Kershaw sends her white people to repe resent her in the Legislature. i because the ftauieais couiu not cout trol the polls in Camden like tliey used i to do, many of them refused to vote at ) all. r ''I couldn't vote dis rnornin when I wanted to, and T don't want to now." ? So spoke Frank Chesnut, a hurley, " sullen, insolent black Radical, who wore ! a beaver hat at the Market, when told 1 by a Democrat at nine o'clock that all i of the colored people could vote without being "mashed"?the officers having cleared the way. Personal.?Mr. D. J. Carter of the Lancaster Ledger, was in Camden last week. Dr. I. II. Alexander returned to Camden on the 5th iust. He can be found at his office on Broad street, one door south of the Treasurer's office. ( Mr. J. F. Gardner, formerly of Gam- i den, is now connected with the popular ! house of Cuthberton & Long, Charlotte, 1 N.C. Gen. Kennedy returned home on Friday last. Mr. W. F. Turner of Charleston, was in Camden, this week on business. . Mr. W. W. Legg was in Camden for t a few days this week. ' THE GREAT "VICTORY, J Last Tuesday will'never be forgotton 1 as long as the history of South Carolina can be read. It was the most glorious day the old State has ever seen?the one upon which she won the greatest victory ever achieved at the polls in this State. "It appears as if the Radicals had a cut and dried jobot it, not to vote at all, but to make it out that they wero bull-dozed and prevented from ' doing so. We understand as we go to presB that they have already, in this ' cottnty, made many affidavits to that 1 effect, and many warrants for arrest . have been issued, though none have i yet been served. I A more quiet and orderly election , was never held in this county, and the i entire Democratic ticket is elected, by a ( mnjority of over 1.900 (1.911) The news from the other [counties is 1 equally cheering. We give below a partial list of those heard from. Charleston is believed to be safe, as nearly all the precincts heard from give ( Democratic majorities. . Aiken claims 3,000 majority for the 1 Democratic ticket. James Major, < Radical supervisee because he was not < allowed to carry his fourteen year-old ( son into the polling place as a clerk, re- ' | fused to go in himself, and destroyed all the Radical tickets. I Abbeville gives 5,000 majority. Everything passed off very quietly. Many negroes voted the Democratic ticket. *' % Anderson gives 4,500 majority. All quiet. Barnwell gives 2,500 majority. Suialls was burned ia effillety. Cotton claims 3,000 majority. Tooiner a Radical cnudidate, telegraphed to Gov. Hampton for protection, claiming that he was intimidated. Gov. Hampton , told him to apply to the constituted i authorities. ( Chester claims 2,00 majority. 1 Edgefield, the banner county of '76 ' comes up with 3,000 majority. Old Fairfield, our next door neigh- . bor, puts up 2,500 majority. Union claims 2,000 majority for the j Democratic ticket. MarioD, one of the Radical strong- l holds, shows 1,500 majority for for the Democrats. 1 The whole Democratic ticket is 1 elected in Orangeburg by a good majority. Oconee shows 2,000 majority for the Democrats. Richland, for the first time in twelve years elects a white ticket by 1,500 maioritv. ^ J ' Id Sumter the returns are not yet complete, but it is certain that there is a largo majority for the Democratic ticket. The Elections in Other States. Georgia elects nine Democratic Congressmen, two of them are elected as independents. New Hampshire, as usual, goes Re publican. Massachusetts elects Talbot (Rep.) over Beast Butler by a large majority. Pennsylvania elects a mixed ticket. Speaker Randall (Dem.) has been re elected by a reduced maiority. Alabama elects part Democrats and part Independents. ! Connecticut has probably gone Re, publican. , In New York the Cooper combinai j tion has carried everything. j Old Virginia comes out Demo, oratic. Maryland elects the whole Democratic ticket. Nevada claims to have elected the 4 Democratic ticket. r Teuocssee elects part Democrats and ^ part Republicans. t Tn North Carolina the returns are slow coming in, but indicate that the; Domocratu are elected. _ ? From Stoke's Bridge. The Colt Show held at the Gull; Camp Ground on the 2nd of the prea ent month, was well represented by th< citizens of this section, some of whon brought oft premiums for fine colta.

Kennedy alluded to the people of the Lynches Creek section, saying they were chiefly of Scotch and Irish origin, the best people the sun ever shone upon. The weather is fine, and potato digging and corn gathoring is now the order of the day. Both of these crops are very good. Cotton picking still continues, but hands are scarce. Tbo cotton stalks have taken on at least half a crop of young bowls, which are now ibout half grown. If a killing frost is Jelnyed fourteen days an average crop will be gathered.

"Into Thy Holy Keeping." The following most eloquent, impressive and touching prayer was jffered up by Rev. C. C. Williams it the unveiling of the Confederate monument at Augusta, Ga., on the 31st ult: Almighty God, Father of all Merges, we, Thy unworthy servants, do jive Thee most humble and hearty hanks for all Thy goodness and loving kindness to us and to all men. More especially do we bless and hank Thee this day for the good jxampleB of all those, our countrymen, who at the call of duty were ;ontenf to go forth and die. Grant, pee pray Thee, their name and ? - t. _ :? tv. their tame may oe ever iresu m mo aeart9 of a grateful people, and that their childien's children may riaeup to bless and honor them* Blessed be Thy name, 0 Lord Sod, that it hath pleased The# to put into the hearts of Thy servants to mild here an everlasting memorial )f our Confederate dead, to place ;his living crown of beauty upon the eold brows of those who,Were 'faith* :ul unto death.' Guard it, We beseech Thee, from ill evil powers of the air, that no jlast of tho lightning may come ligli to hurt it, and no fury of the itorm to cast it down. If tho noise >f war and tumult or sedition be leard again in our laml, and the wild passions of men shall surge and iwell through these now peaceful .1 /i jtreots, grant tbat, as <tne naming jword of cherubims turned every way to guard the Tree of Life, so Thy "watchful care and Providence nay be round about this marble plinth, that no unholy hand may ;ver be lifted up against this fair memorial of our 'honored dead. Grant that it may stand here a sign md a witness to all generations forever. As its marble shaft towers up pure and white from the very midst of the crowded streets, looking down upon the seething, busy life of trade that roars all day about its base, may it speak to us from the lofty height of its calm repose, and tell us by sunlight and by starlight how noble a thing it is to do one's duty. May the martial memories of Wellington and Nelson mingle with those of our own heroes, and echo through the light and through the darkness that sublime lesson of duty done in the very teeth of death. When all through the busy hours men are hurrying past it in their feverish race for gain, when the hard driven bargain and the false weight and the deceitful balances are nhanfrin? men's hearts and conscieni o o ces into the world's hard coin, even here, within the shadow of its purity, may they stop one moment to read the story that is carved on yonder stones, and feel their selfishness rebuked. May the thought oi those who gave up life and all foi their country teach them the golden lesson of humanity, that men love their fellow-men. If, sometime, in the darkness oi the night, the outcast or the pro* fligate shall pass along this way; if the life that has been wrecked of its purity and its hope shall stand, perhaps, in the shaded corners of yonder street?seeing nc future but despair, and seeking only to steep itself more deeply still ir ? t 1 Ml vice?then may tnis marine pinai gleam out whitcly in the darkness: may it rise up there before them like the fair phantom of their lost inno* cence; may they be beckoned tc draw near that they, too, may reac the story that is carved upon these sculptured panels May that storj of lives laid dcwn that other mei: might live give them fresh faith unci courage to redeem their own. Ant as thoy see this towering -columr pointing ever to the sky, may theii hearts be lifted thitherward, anc their stained and sinful lives be let to Him, who gave II13 own most precious life for them and us, Tbine [ only Son, our Lord, j If a time shall ever come when j Thy people shall fall away from that faith in which these brave men , died; if, when they have beaten . their swords into ploughshares and ' their spears into pruning hooks, r their love of country and of duty 1 shall grow cold; or if distress and " trouble corae upon Thy people sfnd men's hearts fail them, as they look I abroad and see the storm cloud . gathering about them, then let their faces be turned toward this monu* ment which we have dedicated to , ; our dead. Let this stately column be to them a pillar of fiie to cheer and to lead them in the day of their despondency and gloom. Let those noble forms, which stand like sleepless sentinels guarding the honor of their comrades' fame, speak to the four corners of the earth, and let their words be borne, like the archangel's trumpet, upon the four winds of heaven, and tell throughout the world how grand and how noble a thing it is to die even for a cause ! which men call lost. And so through all the ages, in the brave times of prosperity and in the fainthearted times of adversity, let this stately pile stand like the ''smitten rock in the desert, round which the people gathered in their thirst." And now, 0 Lord, we commend it andlts sacred memories into Thy holy keeping. If angry, or bitter, } or revengeful thought be in our hearts tosday as we stand here to ^ commemorate our dead, let it not stain or sully the purity of the of-> t fering which we have made arid [ m? reared to their name, but hear Thou j in heaven, Thy dwelling place, and t where thou hearest, forgive ! Grant J that the burning words of eloquence [ which we have heard this day may ( be so grafted in our hearts that they ? bring forth in us tbe truit ot the un- * selfish life. Pour out Thy blessiDg, 0 Lord, upon this our land,[and especially upon this commonwealth of ours. Bless us in the city and in the field, in our going out and coming in, that "peace and happiness, truth and justioc, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations." All of which wo ask in His name who gave His life for a world's transgressions, Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ' Amen. The Cotton Market. Camden S. C., Nov. 6, 1878. Tho market is still very weak, and on a standstill at 7b @ 8c for middliog. The receips for the week show a falling off from those of the previous week.

I Re-Opeuiug a Thorough Tare. 1 Id order to guard against results utterly sab- ( verslvc of health, It Is absolutely essential that . the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the system, J the bowels, should be re-opened as speedily as possible, when they become obstructed. If they are not, the bile la misdirected Into the blood ; 1 the liver becomes torpid^; viscid bllllous matter < gets Into the stomach,* and produces Indigestion; I headaches ensue, and other symptoms are pro- i dnced, which a prolongation of the exciting ' cause only tends to aggravate. The aperient i properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a most useful agent In overcoming constrlc- i tlon of the bowels, and promoting a regular habit : of body. It Is lnflnltely superior to the drastic cathartics frequently used for the purpose, slr.ee It does not, like them, act violently, but produces a natural, painless effect, which does not Impair the tone of the evacuatory organs, which It Invigorates Instead of weakeiflng. The "stomach and liver, nlso, Indeed the entire system, Is strengthened and regulated by It, CONSUMPTION CURED. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in hla hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, far the speedy and permanent cure for consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous , complaints, after having tested Its wonderful curative powers In thousands of cases, has felt .

Its purpose and method will be the same as in the past; _ To present all the news in a readable shape, and to tell the truth though the heavens .. fall. The Scn has been, is, and will continue ' to be independent of everybody and everything save the Trulh and its own convictions of duty. That is the only policy which an honest newspaper need have. That is tne policy which has won tor this newspaper the confidence and friendship of a wider constituency than was ever en' ? ?l t JOyea ny any umer .iiuci iwitu i/uuj uui. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country, and the uncertainty of future, lend an extraordinary significance to the events of the coming year. The dis- ** cussions of the press, the debates and acts of Congress, and the movements of the leaders in every section of the Republic will have a direct bearing on the Presidential election of 1880?an event which must be regardod with the most anxious interest by every patriotic American, whatever his political ideas or allegiance. To these elements of interest may be added the proba- ' bility that the Democrats will control both houses of Congress, the increasing feeble- . ncssof the fraudulent Administration, and % i the spread and strengthening everywhere - V of a health abhorence of fraud in any form. To present with accuracy aud clearness the exact situation in each oi'its varying phases, and to expound, according to its wellknown methods, the principles that should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an. important part of The Son's work for 1879.
