Chritmas Tree?The teachers and scholars of the Presbyterian Sundayschool have a festival and Christmas tree to-night at their lecture-room. A merry Christmas and a happy time for all of them. Bad Road.?We are requested to call the attention of the County Commissioners to the miserable coftdition of the road and bridge near the Shannon old place. The bridge is almost impassable, and it is very dangerous to cross it in its present condition. Cold Swimming ?A gentleman of ll^J western Wateree wtio was compmeu m be in Camden on Monday to attend to some business here, attempted to cross by tho way of the ferry, and after leaving the boat he came to a place where the horse had to swim about two hun. dred yards, with him on his back, bofore they reached dry land. Fiue.?On last Wednesday night abont a quarter past eleven o'clock, fire was discovered in Mr. J. W. McCurry's store. The alarm was sounded and the firemen were soon upon the spot, when the fire was quickly extinguished. The damage done amounts to about $500? no ineurancc. More damage was done by the smoke and water than by the fire. It is supposed that the fire was accidental?ratsgetiing hold of matches. The Planter and Farmer, pob? ' so lished at Jtticnmono, ra., ??, <?* a j-?? for December, is received. It contains 65 pages of reading matter by some of the best farmers in the country. The articles of Hon. A Dudley Mann, of France; Judge Wm Fullerton, of New York ; Judge Christian ; Prof. Pendleton, of Georgia, and Col. S. W. Ficklin, are entitled to special mention as valuable articles for the farmers. Shot.?On Monday night, while looking around the wagon camp in D. W. Jorden & Co's lot> Tom Cook, colored, was shot in the hip by some unknown person. Two shots were heard; ?... nC irhir>h hit Tom. Mr. J. W. UUC V* wmw Gaskios was arrested and locked up a9 the party who did the shooting, but he stoutly denies it. He had upon his person a small seven-sbot Smith & Wesson pistul two chambers of which were empty. The wound inflicted upon Tom is not considered dangerous. Auction Sale ?There will be a large lot of 6ne new car/ages, buggies, spring wagons, etc., sold at auction io Camden on Monday, the 6th of January, and any person desiring anything in this line would do well to attend it The work is all new and first-class, and from the largest and most complete fac* tory in the world. You can get any kind?twoseatcd cariages, phaetons, spring wagons and top bugaies. Now is the time if you want a bargain. Re member, Monday the sixth. State's Evidence.?Some daring robberies and other acts of rascality have been committed in and around Camden lately, and no cine could b? obtained as to who the thieves wer< Mnt.il Den Love, who was arrested i short time since for killing Mr. Clementj cow, took it into his head to tell. H< has made a fall confession, and all bui one of the parties have been arrestee . and locked up. There were three o: them, Ben Love, Jako Patterson anc Harry Curetoo. They were the onei who entered and robbed Mr. Ellis'.ston last fall. We hope that the next Conr will send them where they will not hsv< I a chance to steal again for years t< ' come. Nats, of <m __ kinds, at Kirkfey <5 C>o?Uh s. P' .. .1 ..?? / How Many will Stick ? ?Tin ' number of people who intend to sweai off on the 1st of January from all theii ' bad habits, and turn over a new leaf can be counted by thjusands; yet we'l wa<rer that in six months from date the new leaf of nineteen out^of twenty will be as black as tho old one is now. Council Notice-?By resolution of Council, shooting of rockets, fire-crack? ? ?j c 1._ ?:n v. ers, uuu urv-wurns win ue priuuucu the streets of Camden on Christmas eve night, Christmas day and Christmas night and no longer. The Bring of guns and pistols is strictly forbidden. Any person or persons violating th^ same, will be arrested and confined in the guardhouse twenty-four hours, aDd no other peualty imposed. Acknowledgment.?The Journal begs to acknowledge the receipt of a jcomplimentary ticket to the play at Cramer's Hall, in the inolosure of the Lunntic Asylum, in Columbia. We accepted the same, and cannot bestow too much praise upou the managers of this institution for the admirablo way in which everything was conductod. The play was very fine, and the poor unfortunate inmates enjoyed it exceedingly. It is truly commendable, and we beg to tender our sincere thanks for the com pliment. The Fourth Freshet.?Watcree River has overflowed its banks again, for the fourth time since fall, and crossing 'at Camden has been stopped. Some people attribute the frequent over flows to the embankment built across the swamp by the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad. Whether such is the case or not, we cannot say ; but we do know that there has been at least twice the number of freshets in a season since the embankment was built that there was before. The Poll Tax.?We were surprised to learn that the article which appeared in our last issue in reference to the poll tax has beeb so construed by some of our citizens ts to reflect npon Trial Justice DePass. Mr. DePass was only executing the lawful duties of his office in imprisoning those men. The law was made by the Legislature, and be had it to execute. We intended no reflection upon him or any other of our county officers. The only reflection was upon the Legislators who allowed such an unconstitutional act to pass the House Trial Justices.?In order that our readers may know something of the workings of our inferior courts, we have obtained from Justice DePass the following information relative to proceedings before him during the fiscal year endinsr Nov. 1st. 1878 : No. of warrants applied for 260; No. issued. 185; amount of accounts against the County, $190/ urnouot of fines collected and turned over to County Treasurer $54. This is a very eood showing considering the fact that Justice DePuss transacts about one-half the entire criminal business of the County. .Southern Surgical Institute, Atlanta, Ga.?Dr. J. W Gurley, Professor of this justly celebrated institute will visit Camden January 6th. and remain three days, stopping at the DeKalb House. He will come fully prepared to treat all cases of Club Feet, Spinal Disease, Diseases of the Bye and Ear, Catarrh, Paralysis, Piles and Fis tulc.?, Chronic Diseases, Diseases of the Joints, Female Diseases, Hairlip, Cleft Palate, Indolent Ulcers and Tumors. Private diseases which are curable or can be benefited. For further particulars, address Dr. Gurley, Southern Surgical Institute, Atlanta, Ga. Badly Cut.?We learn that William Boykin, colored, while on his way hotne last Saturday night, and when just on the outskirts of Kirkwood, was set upon by masked tnen who cut him several times, some of the stabs beiDg very dangerous. No cause can be given for tKit it matr Kotto Kaon IIIC UCCU V AW JIV muv IV UJ %MJ UHTV l/v Vli on account of an old family feud. From remarks made at the time it is presumed that they want to lay it up* on the whites, because William was one of the witnesses against the so-called intimidators who were taken to Colum? bia recently; but all the circumstances point to the negroes who are aftex avenging an old wrong. A Novel Idea.?Last week we were shown a very simple and, to us, nove affair at Mr. Meroney's mill, for siftinf the meal as it comes from the mill, anc throwing the bran off to ooe end. It ii no inconvenience whatever to the miller as he can sift any quantity that may b< I brought?from a half peck to any nam p ber of bushels, and is not one-tenth thi trouble or cost of a boltrng'cloth. - ? : f \r. t u U ine lUYcuiiuii ui mi. u . u* says that he cao also muko prarl grits a ( cheap as mealand'as good as any in th< market. The attachment is nothing more than a long bos with a sifter bot torn, which is placed S'> as to catch th meal a? it c >m 'S fr mi the mill, and th it motion i? giv.-n to it by an eceentri wheel placed oa the spindle, thus sift f ing all the meal before it reaches I r box below, and throwing the bran < r into a bog at the end. The attachme . can be placed on any mill at a very sm; I cost. I Personal?The members of his coi gregation, and the people or t'amat generally, will be pleased to learn ths Rev. J. 0."
