What has become of the Georgetown

As our esteemed contemporary
has asked this question so often
without apparently having received
a satisfactory reply, we suggest that
he offer a prize <hromo for the best

the result as it happens.
First Cotton Bloom.
Our friend, 3^. Thomas Moore,
of West Wateree. s.?^t to our office
yesterday the tirst cotiOB bloom we
have seen this season. It OA me from
his farm at Night's Hill, near Chesnut's
Ferry, on this side of the river.
Mr. Moore has a line crop of cotton
there.
St. John's Day at Spring Hill.
The Masons of Spring Hill have
made preparations to celebrate St.
John's Day in royal style next Tuesday.
In connection with the usual
ceremonies of the occasion, there
will be a grand dinner given. Ker

Incendiarism.
On the night of the 9th instant,
Mr. William Kirkland, living near
Flat Rock, had his dwelling house,
kitchen, stables and barns totally destroyed
by tire. He lost all his provisions,
furniture and even-thing
that was in the houses. It was the
act of an incendiary, who has not
been apprehended. It is earnestly
hoped that he will be, and un example
ujade by hanging hirn to the
nearest tree.

in harvesting the small grain in and
around town, is of the Buckeye patent
and performed the work well.

gather his own crop.
An Old Maids Club.
An "old maids club" has been
formed among some of the young ladies
of Camden, and we learn there is
a large membership. The name of
the club is not significant of the ages
of its members, but is indicative, we
suppose, of what it is the intention
of the members to be. As soon as a
member becomes engaged, sue is exp
^Ietl, which leads us to remark
that the club will soon cease to exist
for want of a quorum.
The Edgefield Advertiser.
If those papers which clip from
others are disposed to give credit
for the articles they copy, they ought
surely to give the proper one. The
JEdgefield Advertiser of the 12tli in
stunt reprints our article upon
Judge Wallace, and credits it to the
A"' - s/kiic Gazette. Similar mistakes
have occurred before with our Edgefield
contemporary, and we now call
its attention thereto, in the hope
that it will do better in the future.
Chess Club.
Agreeable to a call, a party of gentlemen
met at the Journal office on
last Thursday evening and organized
a chess club. The following officers

Let Us Hear from ItTlie
law requires that the annual
i report of the county commissioners
I shall be published bv the middle of
I February in each year. In every
j county in the State, excepting Keri
shaw, these reports have been publ
lished. but nothing has been heard
! of the report of the commissioners of
i Kershaw yet. though it is now nearly
live months after the time. What
has become of it, and why has it not
I been published ? Cannot the com-j
| missioners answer ?

, The Wonderful Phonograph.
Frofessor Duval will give another
| exhibition of the Edison Phonograph
| at Town Hall to-night, commencing
j at 8:30 o'clock. The astonishing
i properties of this wonderful little
j instrument should cause every one to
I desire to see it. The opportunity is
: now presented which may never ocI
cur ajrain to some, and we advise
everybody to take advantage of this
occasion. The exhibition is for the
benefit of the Presbyterian Sunday
School, and the price of admission
has been placed at 25 cents.
Oh. that nice soda water at C. J.
Dunlap's. It is the most cooling
and refreshing drink to be found in
Camden during the summer.
A Horrible Mistake.
In our report of the social picnic
at Mulberry, the insane person who
sets the type on this paper made us
appear to say that one young lady
drank three quarts of lemonade,
when it should have -read, three
young ladies drank one quart of
lemonade. Mistakes in our paper
are at all times annoying, but when
cue so horrible as this appears in an
article we had prepared with so
n vorrnrd for truth and correct
XXI UV il X
11 ess, it makes us exceedingly unhappy'.
"We have discharged the insane
person, and hope this explanation is
not too late to obtain forgiveness for
us.
The Drains.
Council have had nearly all the
drains through town cleaned out excepting
the main drain through upper
Camden. This drain is a very important
one, and upon it the health
of that section depends. If it is
kept open, the health of the locality
is good, but as only a part of it has
been cleaned out, there is now a
marsh covered with stagnant water
fonned on the west side,where miasma
will rise during the hot weather
and cause sickness throughout the
whole neighborhood In behalf of
the people living thorc, we appeal to
Council to have the matter attended
to at once.
The No-Fence Law.
The advocates of the no-fenfe law I
are rapidly increasing in this county,
and we hope the day is not far distant
when it will be adopted. Those
of our citizens who have seen how
it works in other counties, are |
charmed with it, and are doing all
they can to have it established in
this county. It saves an immense
outlay by the farmers ever}* year to
repair their fences, so as to keep a
few stray cattle from destroying
their crops. If there were no fences
to be kept up, there are hundreds of j
acres of good land that would be J
cultivated, which are now lying idle
because the owners are too poor to
fence them in. Give us the no-fenco
law.
Malicious Mischief.
It is not an unfrequent occurrence
for the owners of milch cows in
Camden to have their cattle come
home terribly mutilaied from the attacks
of men and dogs. It is supposed
these poor dumb brutes are
Jms abused because they have invaded
some person's crop. Many of
i fields around town have fences
po low and weak that anything could
pass over them, and the owners seem
to depend upon cruel treatment as a
protection to their crops. It is not
uncommon to see cows going around
here with horns knocked off and
otherwise cruelly treated. As long
as the law permits cattle to run at
large, it requires that fences shall be
made strong enough to keep them
out of the fields, snd persons who
maltreat catile for a fahlt that is entirely
their own, are liable to- prosecution
and punishment, and should |
receive it. ]
I
Progress.
We are much gratified to learn i
from our friends at Flat Rock that
Mr. Lewis "Watts, of Western Wateree,
has in process of construction
in the neighborhood of Flat Rock, a
mill for ginning, grinding, threshing,
etc., which in a few days will be completed.
We have seen the machinery
for this mill, and it is in every sense
of the word new, improved and of
the highest type. Mr. Watts deserves
crreat credit for his liberal ex
| penditure and trouble, and we sin
cerely wish him abimdant success.
We congratulate our Flat Rock
friends upon such evidences of prosperity,
and we feel and know that
* ' * -

Special Sermons.
Rev. Dr. Teasdalo preached a special
sermon to the young ladr.es at.
the Baptist Church last night. Tonight
he will preach to the young
men. All ai-e cordially invited to be
| present.
| Monopolies.
All the citizens of "Winnsboro
! are highly incensed at the extortion
j practised upon them by the manag|
ers of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, and a meeting of
! the business men of the town is called
j to discuss the feasibility of establish|
ing a wagon train to run in opposition
| to the railroad. We know their grievances
are many, but they can hardly
be anv worse than the people of
l Camden are subjected to by the new
! management of the South Carolina
road. We sincerely hope that the
Legislature will take the matter in
hand and compel these monopolies
to act by their charter. A glance at
their quarterly report will satisfy any j
one whether rates can be reduced with
out injury to the roads. Their net ]
earnings even during the summer i
months are enormous. 1
Old Bachelors.
"Who says that old bachelors arc i
always unhappy and miserable crca- 1
tures ? We thought at one time that <
they were, hut we have changed our <
opinion lately, and now believe that 1
there are a few exceptions to the <
general rule. We know one old fel s
low in town who is very industri 1
our and hardworking, and he ' wiles
the happy hours away " by singing 1
and whistling during time he is at i
work, being as happy as the day is 1
long. His favorite airs seem :o be (
Old Dog Tray," "Auld Lang Syne," <
"Home. Sweet Home," "The Girl I <
Left Behind Me," with an occasional <
variation of "Shoo Fly," etc., and 1
winds up with "I want to be an An- ]
gel." Could any one wish for a more i
happy and contented mind ? Would c
that all of us could be as happy, and <
may God grant that his last song f
will be answered when he is called i
away from earth. t

Sunday Services. t
According to announcement, Rev. *

last Sunday morning and evening. c
His sermons on both occasions were 1

At the Presbyterian Church the J

they met at the base ball ground. J

Death, under any and all circumstances,
is an awful visitor. "When,
however, it goes to the "three score '
years and ten," the time allotted to t
man. we shudder not so much at its 1
approach, but look upon it as a nat- J
ural sequence to life. On Thursday s
last our community was heavily and 1
sorely stricken with the sad but truth- 1
ful news that Miss Shaw had given <
up all that was mortal of her 'x)dy, i
and that her spirit was with its God. i
Deep and hea>y were the throbs of 1
many sorrowing hearts as this pain- i

womanliood, not yot having reached 1
her twentieth year, and, from all a])- '
pearances, a long and happy life
awaited her. The grim monster. 1
however, gave his order, and her
gentle, sweet and tender body soon
lay as still and lifeless as marble. As
this terrible and heartrending ailliction
comes upon us, we can only accept
it as u warning that we, too,
must soon pass on. It is a sad, it is
a painful commentary upor. the
b rittleness of human life, and
must so ucbuoirish all. As the
church bell tolled its last solemn
dirge, and as her body was commit

Capture of an Escaped Lunatic.
A crazy man. named Tom Crinin"fer,
who had escaped from the State
Lunatic Asylum, was recaptured
near Cool Spring early Sunday morning
by Mr. John Kinder, an employee
af the Asylum, who had been sent in
pursuit of liim. Crazy Tom, as he
is called, was sent to the Asylum
from Lancaster county, and it was
thought that lie wuold make for his
aid home when lie escaped. He was
easily traced to the place of his capture.
He had stopped at the house
if a colored man. where lie rcpre;ented
himself to be a mail carrier
between Camden and Lancaster.
When Mr. Kinder approached the
louse. Tom recognized him, and ran
from the house in his bare feet and
.vent into the the woods. He was
based for half a mile before they
;aught him, and it then,'required the
combined efforts of Mr. Kinder and
Jhief of Police Kettles to secure him.
ffe was brought back to Camden and
ilaced in the Latham House piazza
irliile preparations were made for his
lonvcyance back to the Asylum. His
;onduct there attracted quite a crowd,
md his How of language was unceasng.
Among other things, Tom said
hat Judge Mackey was a relative of
lis, but he did not seem proud of
he relationsliip, for he said: " Why,
10 would clhnb a tree for a hickory
iut, and he can turn his coat quicker
hurl von can turn a nocket handker
iliief on a wheel." He is represented
o be quite a dangerous case at times.
lev. Dr. Teasclale.
Tliis eminent divine, as previously
mnounced, commenced a series of
neetings in the Baptist Church last
sunday, and on that day, as well as
jvery night since, large congregaiionh
have attended his preaching,
though advanced in years, lie apparently
possesses a strong and vigor)U8
constitution, and he certainly
exhibits wonderful efficiency in the
jreat cause ho represents. His
preaching is not of the sensational
dnd, but is in some respects peculiny.
He lias a gi'eat faculty of simplify
ing the truth of the gospel, and
mfikincr it. annnar in its most, winnimr
O - X~ X o
form. He leaves the sinner no excuse
for neglecting salvation. In
points of doctrine ht*i:> a bold cxpounder
of the views adopted by
the church with which he is identified,
and does not hesitate to conlenm
evil in whatever shape it may
ippcar. No cue can fail to listen to
liim while he preaches, and his eloquent
words and positive way of expounding
the truth are bound to
leave an impressiou. No doubt
uucli good will result from Irs work
iiere.

of her pleasing manners, deep
interest in (he important truths taught, and
the dedication of herself to the service of
her Lord and Master by a public profession
of her faith. To the eye of sense, nil seems
dark in thus early removing one just entering
upon life's duties, liy faith, be it
our's to say God disposes. His purposes
none can change; none can resist. Whatever
befalls us is ordered in infinite love.
Be it ours to magnify God by a calm submission
to His will, seeing no hand but
one in our trials in giving or taking. The
Lord gave; the Lord taketh away.
" To walk by 'aitn and not by sight,
Take it on trust a little while,
.Soon shall we read the mystery right
In the full sunshine of his suiiie,"
Be it.
Hmoirfi/, as a Sabbath school, that we
tender to the bereaved family our deep sympathy
in this dark hour of their atllictioii,
and co- 'tin-nd them to the consolation of
that Savior to whom otlr departed sister
had given her youthful 'iff ctions: who
alone can give light in darkness, anil who
has .said : "Cast thy burden on the Lord.
He will sustain thee."
Rfaoh'cd, That a copy of these proceedings
be entered on our minutes, with
her age and time of dento, a copy be fur
nisiicd 'o the family, and that they also be
published in the Southern l'rcxhyterian, Camden
Journal and Kershaw Gazette.
