Now is the best time to plant a young orchard, and in a few years it will begin to fay a revenue. There is always a market here for good fruit, and we believe that any one who would devote a little attention to it would make money. Will not some of our citizens ' take hold of it and see what can be done ? i Maek it Down.?The town authorities are having Laurens street, west of 1 Monument Square, worked on. It is the first time the town has had me street repaired rn about twenty years, though it has often needed work to make it passable, but the parties living there had to have it <?one themselves. We shall ever pr?.'se the present In* ten dent and Council for this lane intprovetneoc, among many others different sections of the town thal\ rhey have instituted during tbeir tercK of office. \ For Poor Folks.?The ether day at seedy looking old negro was seen walking up Broad street with a watch chain dangling from his neck. Now, there was a ragged and mischievous looking negro boy who knew he had no watch, but thought to have a little fun ?ut of the old mail bv asking him, when he arrived in ? ? ? ~y the presence of several other colored individuals what time of the day it was, thinking that the old fellow would be made to feel very cheap; but he was mistakon, for the old man answered thus: "Nigser, dar's de town clock; dat's pet up d?r fur po' folks. Don't bodder a. getn'en wid your 'pert'nence when he's in company." The boy left without any furthpr questions.

In man, Station D, Bible House, I , I Fertilizers.?The war on fertilU zers continues to stir the farmers of our State, and wo hope thej will continue | it until the price has been reduced to its proper level, proportionate with the price of other articles. We want to see the farmers of Kershaw meet in con vention aud endorse the resolutions of their brother farmers in the other counties of the State, declaring that they will n?t purchase any fertilizers at the present exorbitant price, aid also demand that they be reduced at least 25 per cent, This can be done, and then leave a large profit for the manufacturer, j The mo7e must be made at once, or it may be too late. Tbe farmer can much ' easier afford to do without the fertilU zers than than tbe manufacturer can afford to bold them. N ( Train Behind Time.?On last Saturday night tho train did not arrive t until about 11 p. m The Camden c branch is the poorest equipped of any ( road in the State, it receiving nothing a but the old ca?t off engines and cars of :be main line. There is but one train s x day, and it has to deliver freight at T ill the stations on its way up, thns put- v ing it behind time nearly every day.? v Captain Gilbert and his hands deserve jreat praise for getting along as well as ^ hey do with the old broken down stock j w hey have to work with. We believe ^ he Camden branch pays better than ^ my other piece of road of the same ength in the State, and we think it is * Li. 1 P i sname mat tut* pcupic ucto u??? ?v ^ iabuiit to such treatment by the railroad ifficials. t Attempted Bribery.?A few days igo Mr. Joel Hoagh, School Gommis* ^ sioner of Kershaw CouDty, was ap* j proached by a sable Republican who t isked for a certificate to allow him to t each in the public schools, and Mr. Hough referred him to the Board of Examiners. He said he could not ? .1-?j .i-~ #Knf Mr ? JiailU lilt? uauuj iuuuuu , uuv umv ^ Hough could give him the certificate if ie wanted to, and he (the darkey) would * nake it all right with him. The Com- ? nissioner told him that that day bad jassed, acd any one who received a c :erti6cate from him would first have to r stand the examiuation and receive the 1 ecommendation from the Hoard, The ^ ligger then looked blank enough, and v teemed to realize that the day for ras* rality had indeed passed. a | The following is a list of the letters re- 0 naining in the post office here, and un- j ailed for: Waymond Adamson, R.

The Court met promptly at 10 a. ui., g md resumed the case of the Slate vs. d T. F. Sutherland for bastardy. Mr. 1 lay had concluded his argument and ^ tas followed byCapt. W. L. DePass, vho, we candidly say, made an argu- J| nent powerful, effective and unanswer- d ible. Solicitor Abney, with his usual 13 :ool, but forcible maDner, approached he jury and made what we thought a egular stinger. He did all that could ^ so done, but the facts of the case did ii lot sustain the charge, and after a care- t iul exposition of the law by his Honor, 1 lie im-v retired at 7 d. m.. and re- ^ "*W J - 4 nained until 4 o'clock the next morning. There was a hitch somewhere, but j right finally, as it always will, prevailed, and a verdict of not guilty was rendered. ( FIFTH DAY. ( Tha next case called was that of the c State vs. Moses Small, indicted for mur- * der. A number of witnesses were ex- J amiued. and an interest deep and pro- , found was manifested by the entire i Court Houfie. Messrs. Leitner & Duo- ' lap and J. P. Kennedy represented the 1 defense, and upon the part of the Stale . Messrs. DePass and Trantham np- | pearrd, the Solicitor having made the s opening speech. We cannot dwell upon ' upon the great eloquence and power * exhibited by all of the speakers. We can only say that ability, earnestness zeal j and beauty of language, fortified by all < the law possible upon both 8id<s was ' given, and none of the gentlemen upon ! either side failed to fully discharge f their duty. The ease was given to the I jury at 4 p. m., and shortly afrer they 1 returned with a verdict of manslaugh- J fhf. npTt, and most interesting _ w . was that of the S'ato vs. Joseph ( (JxeW the man who made Capl.

B was smart and Messrs Abney and C larki who conducted the case, enjoyed h performance in the play hugely althoug ;bey knew that his guilt deprived thei )f huviBg, even in any shape, a foettia vorthy of their steel. "Guilty," froi he jury, was quickly rendered, and th coundrel received it with as much com jlacency as a girl would a beautiful bo |oet in the balmy month of May. Next, and. last, was that of'Jake Pat erson. J. W. DePass, with solicito kbney were the prosecutors, and a ver lict against the prisoner Boon ehowat hat he, too, was to go to the peniten iary. This cleared the criminal docket; am is Honor proceeded to sentence thi risoners that evening, as follows ; Owen Mills, highway robbery?t<t ears in the penitentiary, at bard labor Joe.

W. W. J. f7,U 1 QTQ i cuiuaijf iiu, iui v/ L Preacher's Idea of the Future o This Earth. Ono Sunday night recently, at th latnbria street Philadelphia Methodi? Jhurch, Rev. L. B. Hughes preachei m the future of the earth. His throi; ras, that at the last judgment, tti rorld, which, as the scriptures say, i o be destroyed by fire, is not to be an nhilated, but, rather that, under tb? iction of fire, its present form wil nerely undergo a change. He arguei hat the language of prophecy and thi vhole tenor of the scriptures pointed ti * !_ 1 _ i. his idea, and that it was tmpossioie ci relieve that this earth, which Ged hitc lelf declared to be good, and upoi which the Saviour lived and died should be entirely given over to thi lames. The transformation of the oI< arth into a new earth would, so thi ireaoher argued, take placo after thi lay of judgment' The new earth wil do as prim as the present one, and witl he same heavenly dome Rpread over it Beanty would delight the eye, mu*i mract the ear. and there would b blissful intercourse between man am man. There would be green hills, ma jesMc mountains, f rtile fields, fruit bearing trees, flowing streams, fragran flowers?nver a clear, bright sky, a ever shining sun, with all the material ism which sense sees in the presen but without the sensual ti<:s that *i creates and .impresses on our preset existence In short, it will be the pr? ent earth, so renewed and regenerate that it will ap pear in all the graees < its first formation. ''This," said tl preacher, "will be Paradise Regained, !__? q, , Our Tenure of Life " j Depends In great measure upon our regard for or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate re them we cannot expect to "maKe old bones." But that the span of existence allotted to a nnt urauy delicate constitution, or one ?mcu u?e< been-9haken by disease may be materially length" j8 ened, la a fact of which we have dally proof.? The vivifying and restorative influence of H09h tetter's Stomach Bitters apon a failing physlqae n affords a striking illustration of the power of jndlclous medication to strengthen the hold of 0 life. Restored digestion, complete assimilation, n renewed appetite, sound repose, these are among the benefits conferred the debilitated by that sue preme renovant. With a circulation enriched, a frame invigorated and a nervons system tranqullized, the Invalid feelB that his lile-tenure Is no longer the precarious thing that It was?tnat he may yet enjoy a "green old age." r The Gotton MarketCamden, February 12. 1 Cotton is still pretty firm and tho - supply good.
