Contract Awarded.?Mr. F. J. Hay has been awarded the contract for covering the Town Hall. He has commenced work, and will soon have on the new roof. Politics and Business.?It is the fashioD now for Northern drummers seeking business in South Carolina to speak of Gov. HamptOD as the coming: man of 1880. , Arm Broken.?We are sorry to learn that Squire J. R. Shaw had his arm broken by a fall on Suoday last, while trying to catch a mule.

Woods on Fire.?On last Si.urday afternoon fire got out in the woods and fields west of Camden, and in a short time the high wind, then blowing, caused it to sweep along at a rapid rate, destroying the undergrowth in the woods and burning the fences around the fields Delinquent Subscribers.?Thoso of our subscriber* whom we have sent bills to would do well to come up and set tie at once, tnus saving iwu ui blllCC | times the amount of tbe subscription The newspaper law, as published in a recent issue, is positive., and does not admit of any excuse, but makes it a punishable crime if a person fails to pay after they get the paper. Plants and 8eeds.?We have just received from Messrs. Edward J. Evins & Co., York. Pa., their descriptive catalogue, and price list of flowering plants, fruits, bulbs, seeds, etc., which tbey forward by mail to aDy post office. Their collection is largo, embracing hundreds of the choicest varieties, and every lover of fruits and flowers, and *v*rv owner of a sarden, should enclose w tamp for a copy. Sales day.-Not many buyers were present at the sales on Monday last, and the pieces of property sold were almost given away. One tract of 700 acres, (a good portion of it rich bottom land,) only brought twenty-five cents per acre, Another tract of 115 acres, brought ten cents an acre, and so they went. Several other pieces were withdrawn from the market when the owners saw how it would be sacrificed if it was put up. Publication.?We have received tlie first numb'T of the Valley Farmer, publishe d at Staunton, Va.. by Mr. A. Y. Lee. After perusing its pages we can safely say that it is nue of the best family magazines that come- to us. Mr. Lee is a native of nur fcnwn, being knnwu to nearly -very person in it, and wo think it is only n< c?ssnry to mention the fact to gain quite a number of subscribes to the Farmer from our midst. Home-Made Ffrtilizers ? We have examined *h.? circular of Messrs. Lorick & Lowrance in regard to chemicals for homo made fertilizer", and it strikes u? as eminently worthy the careful consideration of planters These gentlemen are responsible, and they - -j - .?1.? ?? warrant tbcir preparation iu ludac <k good manure as the high-priced fertilizers, and at less than half their cost. We do not set* aoy reason for planters to complain when such opportunities are within thpir reach. Our enterprising friends, Messrs. Lorick &L?wraoce ar>- fortunate in making ''happy hits," and in vi<-w of the high prices of "commercial f.-rtiliz r-t/' together with the scarcity of money, when even the wealtiiy are fore- d to conomise, prepared chemicals doscm to us deoidedly oppbrttutfef f Col Abney.?We were quite phased to rn- ct our friend looking as he is, so well. Tito Colonel has changr-d his residence from Ede- ficld to Columbia, where ho is always ready to discharge his onerous' dutips. Col. Abney is a powerful worker, and criminals look upon him with as touch dread and fear as if he were an executioner. The Fifth Circuit in fortunate in having an officer so able, zph'ous and learned in the law as he is. He moves things right ahead and never leaves a stone unturned when it come in his way. A Law Needed.?We do not think it would be a bad idea if the next Legislature could be petitioned to pass an act allowing the county commissioners in each county to rent or purchase a farm and compel every loafing vagrant in the county to work on it and raise I iv- -? ?A C... | provisions iur inn ouupui u auu iui >uv support of the poor in the county, and prisoners who are sentenced to a term in the county jail should be made to wort, too. It would relieve every county of a heavy expense, besides relieving them of the great number of thieves ] and villains who are the terror of all , honest and hardworking people.

Admirers of "Gallant Gordon," (and that comprises the Solid ( South,) will be delighted with the life- 1 like lithograph that adorns the superb military title page, and the March itself has the true musical inspiration. Prof. Schoeller couldn't write poor music if be tried, and this brilliant March is worthy of its name and author Brass Bands are already playing it, and it will soon be heard from thousands of pianos through the South. Sold by music dealers, or send 40 cents to the publishers, Lu Iden & Bates, Savannah, Ga. Toe Tournament.?As announced in our last issue, the tnurnamunt near c Pisgah Church came off last Friday " and it was a success. Twelve Knights entered the list. Dr. Rcmbert acting as Herald of the day. Three runs eaoh were u.ade, when the rain put a stop to the proceeding. In summing up, it was found that Mr. Thomas Jenkins had taken seven out of the nine rings and was declared the champion of the day and entitled to crown the Queen of Love and Beauty. Miss Maggie Rembert was selected by him for this honor, ' with Miss Kate Riehburg as first maid of honor and Miss M. E. Spann as second maid of honor. After this the party retired to a house near by and spent the remainder of the day in the merry dance. ??????____ Right.?From all sides w? hear the farmers objecting to the high prices asked for fertilizers, saying they cannot pay it while cotton is so low. Tbey are right in objecting, and we honestly believe that they would be far better off at the eod of the year if they bought none at all. The farmer is getting poorer every year, and a good deal of it is due to the exorbitant price he has to pay for fertilizers. "We believe they could be Bold for one-third less than the price i demanded, and still let the manufacturer make a large percentage. There are many men who never pay anything for the fertilizers furnished them, and tbe manfacturer, in order to save himself, makes the man who dots settle up pay for the other man's share as well as his own. We hear from several sections that the farmers have united against the fertilizer men, and we think they would do well to "follow suit" around here. They can much better afford to do without the fertilizers than the manufacturer can afford to hold them, and thus they can force the manufacturer to come down in his prices. There is no harm in trying it, and every dollar saved to our people is that much for the common good. From all parts of the country come reports of the immense sales and increasing demand for thut deservedly popular Bewiag machine, the old and reliable Standard, tlie price of which the proprietors wisely reduced to $20 including all attachments, and at once secured for them a populari'y among the people far beyond that ever yet attained by any other machine at aoy price, the consequence of which is, ngents are leaving the old high priced machines and seeking territory for the Standard. Knowing from experience that with the best goods for the least money they can outsell all other maohines where the superior quality and low price is made known This splendid machine combines all theimprovements. Is far ahead of all others in beauty and durability of its work, ease of management, light running and certainty of operation, is sensibly made on sound principles, with positive working parts all steel l and can be safely put down as the very perfection of a serviceable shuttle doublethread sewing machine in every particular, , that will outlast any other machine, and ( at a price far down below any other. It is thoroughly warranted for five years. Kept 1 in order free of charge and sent to any part of the country for examination by the I customer before payment ot tlie Dili. ?e 1 J can predic; equally as large a demand for ' them in this section as in others. Families deeiring the best machine manufactured should write djreot to the factory; and eni terprising persons wishing to seue the opportunity should write for so desirable an agency.

Promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, the conrt of General Sessions, Judge Thomas Tromson presiding, was was opened. Solicitor Abney, as usual, was punctual in attendance, and well up with the business of the court so far as ?be preparation of the same devolved upon him. The jurors, too, as if appreciating the changed condition of things, were also promptly on hand* The solicitor announced that he had ready quite a Dumber of bills, and his Honor delivered a lucid and exhaustive charge to the Grand Jury; congratulating them upon tho improved condition of the country, and instructing them - -- ? ,1 f tally as to tdeir duties, ootn geuerui and special, as the grand inquest of the county. The Grand Jury then retired, and the case of the State vs. Henry Moore, who was convioted at the last term of the court of perjury, and who had been granted a new trial, was called. Mr. J. W. DePsss appearing for the prisoner and the Solicitor for the State. Qnite a number of colored witnesses . were examined for the State, all of them swore positively as to the gnilt of the accused, who denied the charge in a manner equally emphatic. He was1 supported by Messrs S. 0. Clyburn and J. S Meronoy, who testified to his excellent character for the past twenty-five or thirty years- The attorneys spoke and the Judge charged the jury, who retired, and in a few mioutes returned a verdict of "not guilty," greatly to the nrrafififtftiinn ef the nrisoner. who now 6'""" "" ' r ' doubtless feels that a good character is indeed worth something when all else fails. The next case called was that of Ben Love, (or larceny of live stock; Capt. T. H. Clarke appearing for the defense and the Solicitor for the State. After a thorough examination of witnesses and able argument by both the Solicitor and Capt. Clarke, bis Honor expounded the law, and the jury soon found a verdict of "guilty." The case or Owen Mills, for robbery on the highway was then called; Air. Tranthaio for the defense, and the Solicitor, assisted bv Capt. T. H. Clarke for the prosecution. ThiB case excited much interest amoDg the spectators, and was earnestly contested on 'both sides, but despite the efforts of his counsel, the jury found no difficulty in convicting the prisoner. Then cany? the most exciting case that has yet been called at this term of the court?that of the State vp. James F. Sutherland for bastardy. . The Solicitor represented the State, and Messrs w t. tvpflm, .T. t Hav and T. H.

A portion of the State press objected to the proposed pardon of Oardoza, bat it is no longer of any conseqaence. He has been convicted by a jury of 101 own color, in part, at least. That conviction has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the State. He has been relieved of much of his ill gotten gains, and he is a negro. As to him, we are indifferent; but of all the crew who are afloat, Kimpton and Patterson are the real criminals who are especially in ' -"P AlAtkao An/) Hnl T ina?. oeeu Ul BHIJJCU UlUtUOD au>? uvif comb's supervipion. They plundered the Greenville and Columbia and THue Ridge Railroads through the State and them the State through the railrmds Masters in the art, they even targht "Frank Moses" how to steal. They made judges and ccotrolled legislation. They stifled justice and corrupted all law in its very creation They created the storm and ruled the crew. To th-tn, then then there ought never to bo any let i up, whilst rebson and honor rule the commonwealth. No true citizen will ever say so, and no official dare d > it. To day one is shielded by the sham-less treachery of a Governor who has linked his name with inlbmy, and the < r.her under the tegis of Senatorial privileges by a corrupt and besotted Judge. These things cannot always be. Let every Governor of Massachusetts be pot upon record until one be found who regtrds hie oath and will discharge his duty. The end ot fatterson s term is near ai hand, and then his Senatorial robes, nor the soiled ermine of a Washington Judge, can no longer protect him. Let the wires of the "centeonial telegwph" flash the news that they are in their own place. The people of Sooth Carolina are too magnanimous to punish the horde of ignorant negroes for the crimes these men instigated, and let them go "unwhipt of justice." But justice is not dead.
