Fight in Jail.?Last week two of
the prisoners in jail, named Owen Miller
and Rapbe Johnson, both colored,
got into a fight, in which one of Johnsob's
fingers was bitten so severely as to
necessitate its amputation on Sunday
last.
A Complaint.?We are requested by
Ln ni?i*onanf ihe "Benlah neighborhood
to call the attention of the proper nu"
thorities to the dangerous condition of
the bridge over the canal at Chrsnut's
mill, just below Camden. It is unsafe
for hofseS or vehicles to cross it in its
present condition.
Beautiful New Song, "Somebody's
Coming When the Dewdrops Fall." It
is a song and chorus of much sweetness
and frrshness?indeed one of the mcst
pleasing melodies ever published. The
chorus is simply "immense." By all
means, send for this song Price 40
cents, with elegant illustrated title. Published
by S. Braioard's Sons, Cleveland,
Ohio.
Mortuary Report.?For the three
months ending December 31, 1878,
there were9 deaths in Camden. White,
1 child; colored, 8?3 adults and 6 children.
For the whole year there were 32
deaths. White, 13?9 adults and 4
children; colored, 19?9 adults and 10
children. We do sot think there is a
town in country that can show as small
a per centage of deaths in proportion to
the population?2.500.
Because We Want to Impress
Tt,?The Sooth Carolina Legislature, at
its last session, passed a law providing
that any person coovioted of using firearms
on the public streets or highways,
shall be punishaed by a fine of not less
than 8200, nor more than $1,000, and
imprisonment not less than six months,
nor more than one year. We publish
this paragraph again because we want
to impress u uoin upuu uur pcnuo unice
re and the persons who are in the
habit of carrying such weapons or arms.
New Book.?"We have on our table
Jaraea Wood Davidson's School History
of Sooth Carolina, prepared expressly
for young,beginners. It embraces everything
of importance that has occurred
w in our State from its earliest settlement,
and the style ia which it is gotten op is
calculated to interest aDy child in whose

i Depreciated.?What was" one
1 known as the Haileplantation, ten mile
below Camden, was part of the propert;
sold by the sheriff on the let inst. I
was knocked down for 83,900. Whei
Maj. DeSanssure boupht it some year
apo, be paid 830,000, and we were toh
thnf !l nnf?o Krnnoht ShO OftO This i
only one instance of how ocr lands hav'
depreciated in value since the war.
Another Freshet.?The heav;
rains of Saturday night caused an
other rise in old Wateree, and
Monday evening all crossing at th<
bridge was suspended. Travel by th<
Sumter road was also closed by the bacV
water from the river. No damage car
result from the overflow at this season
as there is nothing planted in the lowlands
now, and is only an inconvenience
to persons living on the western side
who wish to communicate witb the
town.
Tables Turned.?One day last
week the widow of the late Solomon
George "Washington Bill appeared upon
our streets carrying with her a petition
for help, and although the very
ame ot Dill was obnoxious to our people,
yet a spirit of liberality and generos
ty was shown her, that speak well
for tbe charity of this community.
The misdeeds of her "worse half" were
forgotten, and her humble prayers and
deportment relieved much of her suffer

Fire.?Again has the incendiary
been at work. This time Mr. Wm. C.
Gerald was the person whose property
they tried to destroy. About ten minutes
to one o'olock last Wednesday
night, while policemen Drakeford and
Carter were going their rounds, they
discovered a fire under the comer of the
counting room, fronting on Broad street.
They gave the alarm, and immediately
took measures to extinguish the fire?
? 1_ A.1 . . * J '

it had not gained much headway. The
lightwood splinters that the fiend had
kindled the fire with were not all burned
up, showing that he had not left the
place long before it was discovered It
is evident that some villain wants to see
cur town destroyed, and the sooner he
is caught and hung the better it will be
for the community.
He Returned the Goods.?One
day last week a merchant in our town
missed a piece of goods from his counter,
near which a colored individual ras
staoding a few minutes before, but who
had left the store and gone up town.
The merchant immediately w< Dt in
search brthe fellow and charged him with
stealing the goods. He denied it flatly,
saying ho was too much of u gentleman
to steal, and would not be guilty of such
a thing. The merchant told him that
he knew he was the thief, and unless i h>
goods were brought back very soon he
would prosecute him. In a short time
the nigger appeared at the door with
the stolen property, and begged most
pitcously for the merchant not to hare
bim arrested. After an admoaition not
to do so again, he was let go.
Pnon npotr* ftn&v*n Da last Sun.
daj night tbe post office in Camden was
broken into by thieves and robbed of
abont forty letters. It is supposed that
the thief gained an entrance by breaking
open tbe general delivery window, and
once inside, be proceeded to look for
whatever was worth taking. His object
seems to have been money, though he
missed it, as none could be found. Ai
attempt was made to got into tbe drawer
where stamps arc kept, but it was unsuccessful.
The thief must have been
frightened off by some one about that
time. Quite a number of letters and
postal cards were found in a lot back of
Mr. Lollis* si ore, and it is presumed that
tbe thief went off in that direction. The
matter is being investigated, and we
hope soon to see the villains safely
caged and a free trip given them to the
Albany penitentiary.
Vocal Music.?On last Tuesday
evening Prof. Evans gave the citizens
of our town quite a treat in the shape
of a concert, by the class he has been
instructing in vocal music (all sacred.]
The singing, as a whole, was excellent,
but our space this week preveuts us
from commenting uni'n each niece Hep

it. The q??art> t?e, "l'lt Pi?y for Thee ai
Nitfht-fall," by the Misses Zemp
i McCre'ght and Mrs. E. 0 McCrerght
was very fine. The quartette of "Th?
* Little Brown Church." by Mepsrs. Ar
thur, McOrcight, Mackay and Prof
Evans, was charming. "Beautiful Hi?
i tr," a solo nung by Mrs. Therrcll, wai
- indeed beautiful, and elicited praisi
from cvt) one present. The quartette
"When I Can Read My Title Clear,'
by Messrs. Arthur and Maokay, ant
i Miss Kennedy and Mr.'. Brooke, wa
highly appreciated, ae woa also the oo<
e "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," by the
s Misses Thompson, Jones and Miss
y Schrock. The solo by Prof. Evans,
t "Flee as a Bird." was given witb great
u expression and called 'Vth the greatest
s applause from all present.
i The Church was crowded to overs
flowing, and every one was delighted
e with the performance.
Too much praise caonot be given to
Pmf. Evans for his ability as a teacher,
f and the improvement in the class clearly
' speaks for itself. He has them under
f the most perfect control, and if any one
i makes a false note it is noticed immediJ
ately and corrected. The concert was
J the closing lespon of the 6rst session.
On Tuesday begins the next session, and
i we understand that the class for it is al?
most double wbat the tint one was.

The Whipping Poet.
The propriety of establishing this
means of punishment for stopping, in a
measure, tu? gi cnu uumuvi u> vnui>a
committed, is being discussed in many
State* at present, and strongly nrged by
its advocates, tbey citing the good effect
produced by it in Delaware and Vireinia
in preventing crime. We all know
how it worked in this State before the
war, and sinco its abolishment all have
noticed the difference. There are at
least twenty times the n amber of crimes
committed now as were perpetrated
then. We want some other means than
the present laws of our State call for to
stop this increase, and we believe the
whipping post to be the easiest and best
thing to attain the desired reform.
Some people have seen fit to term it
barbarons and cruel to whip a man. Of
those persons we would ask, whioh is
worse, to give those meditating unprincipled
villains a sound thrashing, or
allow them to put fire to our homos and
. i .t ?r?:i:?
ouro to aeuui our >auiiiir?, urruoj uui
property, and allow the vagabonds and
loafers to steal away all oar.goods and
earnings, thereby entailing suffering
and banger upon as and our loved
ones ? If they are caught (as the law
now stands) their punishment is only
nominal?if they receive any punishment
at all?and they know it; whereas
if they knew the lash awaited them
when thoy were canght,-tbey would not
havo committed the crime. We will
wager that there is not an honest man
in the country who will take two minutes
to decide the question, as to which
is best, and it will be that the thief
ought to have tho lash laid on. We
believe it is a Christian act, and a duty
we owe to ourselves and OHr country, as
it will reform the thief and make a good
man out of him, and at the same time
give ease and comfort to the honest man
to know that he is safe, and need not
fear thieves and robbers.

The supply of cotton is falling of considerably,
and the price is improving

War in Afglmgist&n.
The latest news from the war
Afghanistan reports that the troops of the
Peshawar and Karam columns are how
settled in quarters, which, unless unforeseen
events occur, thoy are intended
to occupy for the next two months.
Gens. Browne and Maude's divisions are
echelonned in mutually supporting detachments
extending from Jelalahad to
NViuehera. This extension and distribution
of forces, beside? affording the
requisite protection to the entire Hop
ot mad, has the advantage of diminishing
as far as possible the strain upon
the commissariat department. Major
Oavagnari has friendly letters from
most of the Cabul and Ghilia chiefs.
An imposing Durbar was held at Jelalahad
on the 1st of January by Gen. Sir
Samuel Brown. Most of the local
triinno influential men of the neigh
borhood attended. Maj. Cavagnari, addressing
them, explained the Viceroy
of India's proclamation. He commented
on the facts and tho events as manifesting
the strength of the British Government
and the failure of the Ameer's
resistance, and repeated the assurance
that we have no quarrel with the people
of Afghanistan. The prinoipal
Khan replied in language which may
be taken for what it is worth, expressing
contentment with the ohange of
authority and freely offering his service
Troubles of Labor and Capital.
The labor troubles in Europe still
continue, and are spreading. The hard
times ha re reached France, and trouble
is arrisiRg there between labor and
1 capital. The destitution among the
lower classes is increasing daily. A
Paris dispatch says that the velvet
( manufactures of St. ?Jtien?e nave re)
solved to reduce the wages of operatives
twenty per cent, as the only means oi
r facing foreign competition. The Timw,
r judging from the uncertainty and diri*
i ded councils sbowD s.t l'b?' various meetiogs
of the Jlidi&adjtoilway- employe^
editorially declares that it is rot too
much to say that they are ready to return
to duty if the olive branch i* held
oat. The moulders, fitters and blacksmiths
of the railway rollingstock works,
a:; Barrow, have struck against an extension
of the hours of labor from fiftyfour
to fifty nine hours a week. A
strike of cotton operatives at Preston is
I fe ared on the 23d instant, when a 10
p<;r cent, reduction will be enforced.
In consequence of the resumpti-n of
work by tbo railway oondnctors of Leeds,
all the striking employees at Brudford
have asked and have been granted reinstatement
on the terms offered by the
railway directors. The foundry hands,
shipbuilders and housebnilders of Bank
and vicinity have struck. Six hundred
weavers at Carlisle have struck. This
strike will effect other departments of
the mills. A strike lias commenced in
the wire trade at Wavrington, and one
thousand men are idle in consequence.
The strike of the Midland Railroad is
virtually ended.
Workingmen in the Village of
Gnnston, Va., have circumvented the
hard times in a novel and successful way.
A co-operative association furnishes its
members with constant employment at
fair wo or on and th?c hoard in one lnrpe
??? ; ? ? ?- ?ofamily
house, nod thereby reduce the
cost of living about one-half. They
have a largo farm and garden, and are
employed raising food, making clothing
erecting buildings, making roads and
fencea, catting fuel, and housekeeping
for themselves, producing with their own
labor nearly all that is required to supply
their wants and make them comfortable,
with a considerable surplus,
which they Bell. Each member is required
to save a considerable part of
hifi wages. None of them have been
idle a day daring the past Dine months.
"A Romouce of Rascality."
The New York Times, on the day
after Christmas, devoted seven and a
half columns of leaded type to a biographical
sketch of Franklin J. M< ses,
thu late Governor of South Oarc'ina,
under the taking title of "A Romance
of Rascality." It traces the hero's career
from before the war down to onr
a! !- P ? -1. - ? 4. tL...
own Lime, ju luur unupucra,- turcv ui
which are entitled respectively, "Speaker
(of tbe Assembly) and Thief," "Governor
and Wholesale Robber," "Downfall?Beggar
and Criminal." There are
some inaccuracies in the narrative which
we shall not take the tronble to point
oat. What is remarkable in it, and in
a certain sense very entertaining, is
that the biographer talks through tbe
firut three chapters as if his hero had
aince the war lived and acted in vacuo,
and had committed all his villainies
without assistance; ?s if. in short he
had become "Speaker and Thiof," Governor
and Wholesale Robber" withnita
Legislature and the "Republican pa'ty"
at his hack. The first intimation we
g.'f of anybody's being responsible fo>*

that "the thoughtful men among
them (the negroes) began to doubt
Mases, and some of the most respected
white Republicans?men like Daniel H.
Chamberlain?operfljp declare that he
w*.s a disgrace to the party which supported
him," To appreciate this?which
is, we think, the richest thing in the
literature of carpet baggery?we must
remember that Moses was at thin time
iff^be fourth year of his crimes, and
Wac he had been elected Governor
while "Speaker and Thief." It would
seem, indeed, as if the South Carolina
Republicans did not suspect a man until
he publicly confessed bis enormities and
clamored for admission to the peoitentiaxy.?Nation.

intimate sympathy between the brain and the

the restoration of appetite and repose, and

DR. M. W. CASE'S
Liver Remedy
BLOOD PURIFIER
Tonic and Cordial.
This If not a patent medicine, bnt ia prepared
tinder the direction of Dr. M. w. Case, from hli
favorite prescription, which In an extensive
practice of over twenty-seven yean he has found
most effective In all cases of disordered liver or
impure blood. It is
ANTI-BILIOUS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring It
when diseased to Its normal condition; ana In
regulating the activity of this great gland every
other organ of the system Is benefited. In Blood
Diseases It has no equal as a purifier. It improves
digestion, and assists nature to eliminate
all impurities from the system; and while it is
the cheapest medicine in the market it is also
superior to all known remedies. While it Is
more effectual than Blue Mass, It is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in the
i illirhtest decree In!tire the svstcm. It does not
sicken or give pain; neither docs It weaken the
patient, nor leave tho system constipated, aa do
most other medicines.
It Cures JSafSigSft&r,
Headache, Sick Headache, Water-Brash,
Heartburn, Sick Stomach, Jaundice.
Colic, Vertigo. Neuralgia, Palpitation or
the Heart, Female Irrtii ularltlee and
Weakness, all Skin and Blood Diseases,
Worms, Fever and Asroe, and Constipation
of the Bowels.
In small doses It Is also a sure cure for
Chronic Diarrhoea.
Taken two or three times a day, It preVents
Tellow Fever, Diphtheria, Scarlet
Fever, Cholera, and SmaH-Poz.
