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. Though
painful, it is not nece?sarily a serious
accident.
Entertainment.?Special attention
is called to the notice in another column
of the musical entertainment to be

the Presbyterian Church. A hot supper
will he served at 9 o'clock. To on? aod
all, we say go and see it.
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other pieces were withdrawn from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...

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. I

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

Safely I am moored on shore.
With deepest grief I give thee up,

But a drop of gladness is in the cup,
For I see thy laurels won.

For South Catolina's rights:

For honor, truth, foresight.

The Circuit Court.
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.
Clarke the defendant- Mush interest
was manifested in this cose, and the
exhaustive examination of witness by
the senior counsel for the defense showed
that he was a regular whceloborse in
bringing out truth. .Nor was Solicitor
i Abney behind, in thi conduot of the
> case for the State, as was Icdioated by
the skill t&jjlajpd by him iji its xm?

Concerning Thieves.
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. It has slept, but it now olaims
its own vindication. Wo believe we

Oar Tenare of Life
Depends In great measure npon our regard for
or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate
them we cannot expect to "make old bones."
But that the span of existence allotted to a naturally
delicate constitution, or one which hag
been shaken by disease may be materially lengthened,
Is a fact of which we have dally proof.?
The vivifying and restorative influence of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters upon a falling physlqae
affords a striking Illustration of the power of
judicious medication to strengthen the hold of
life. Restored digestion, complete assimilation,
renewed appetite, sound repose, these are among
the benefits conferred the debilitated by that supreme
renovant. With a circulation enriched,
a frame Invigorated and a nervous system tranqulllzed,
the Invalid feels that his life-tenure Is

he may yet enjoy a "green old age."
