Complaints still continue to reach us from the farmers below Camden and also all of West Waterce about, the disastrous ofleets of the drought. Upland corn in many instances will not yield more than one-fifth of an average crop, and very few have put in their crop on the river yet, the ground being too dry and hard to plow. The cotton has also been injured to some extent. They have had very little rain during the past six weeks. Love's Lament. This is the title of a new song, which Lndden A Bates.

The Village?Visitors?Address?Dinner? Amusements, Etc. j La-t Tuesday is a day that will bo long1 remembered by the people of Spring Hill and vicinity, as on that occasion it witnessed the largest celebration that ever was held there. ' The village is a very pretty little place, situated upon a high hill from j which a most beautiful landscape stretches out over the surrounding country for miles and miles, and reveals to the eye many little settle| ments dotted here and there amid tiie green lields and dark forests of lie of the prettiest portions of our State. THE VISITORS. It was announced some time ago "hat the Masons of Spring Hill intended to celebrate St. John's day by extending an invitation to all the sister Lodges of the sin-rounding ' ountry to assemble there and listen to an address from Gen. J. Kennedy, al ter which there was to be a pic-nic: so. at an early hour, in response to t his call, the people began to assemble. and on every road could bo seen numders of vehicles, all wending (heir way to the Hill. By 11 o'clock it was estimated tlmt there were between S00 ami 1.000 persons on tlm <:vouud. including a la^go number of ladies. At this hour INtr. Burroughs, the Marshall of the day. announced that all Masons present were requested to assemble at the Lodge. They were there called to order by Mr. L. M. Smith, W. M. of Spring Trill Lodge, and it was found that Kershaw and Bisliopville Lodges, together with a few members from other Lodges were present. After opening the Lodge, they were formed in lino and marched up to the church to hear the ADDRESS From Gen. Kennedy, who kept the vast assemblage spell bound with with his eloquence as he reviewed this ancient and honorable Order 'rem its foundation to the present day, citing its objects, duties, etc., and threw much light upon certain points that were heretofore veiled in darkness to many of those present. t j ..1 ? /ln/mnpf 11 WilS${UM>U?tCIJt;il LW 1UU1 U1?1.W1A,?? interest by those who were not Masons. and who expressed their opinions freely that it was the best addrees of the kind they had ever hoard. After the speaking was over, the line was reformed and marched hack to the Lodge room, when they dismissed for the day. Then each person acted as suited himself best. Many old friends and acquaintances bad the pleasure of meeting and conversing with each other for the first time in years, while others saparated off into little groups and discussed the general topics of the day. and the young ladies and young men wundt red around and had theirnleasn.t little /<<v-rt*(ch:s until they were > uised from their reveries by the an Ut'iuiv?:aiw;u \ u??v r> INNER Was ready. Ami a right royal din 'ad* it was. The table was loaded with everything that was good, and the greatest abundance for all, as the supplies seemed inexhaustible. After i nner it was proposed that the young l'i Iks should adjourn to Masonic Hall a :d engage in a little dancing. This was k? pi up until the sun was low on the horizon, which warned them the time had arrived for Ihe pleasures ut the day to cease and the vis i: >;\s to lake the homeward track. Too niiicii j-xiiiee cannot be be slewed upon Mr. Burroughs and Mi . smith and their corps of lady and gentlemen assistants in managing j die affairs of the day, as not a single accident or mishap oc urivd to mar die pleasures of the oread-m. County Auditors p.ud Treasurers. We learn that it is the almost uninntinkhous desire of the people in every part of our State that these others should be made elective instead of appointive.

The tiling lias changed now to the party who are supposed to do what is right and proper by their constituents, and we add our voice that the next Legislature relegate these positions to the votes of the people, instead of the individual choice of cue man. There is too ! much loom for favorites to come in. as the thing now stands, to the exclusion of the choice of a majority j of the the voters. Let us return to the good old plan, and elect them. J The Baptist Revival. The revival at the Baptist Church has continued with unabated interest up to this time. Large crowds till the church nightly, and the mourners and penitents have been numerous The ordinance of baptism has *? l j * .1 been administered several times already. ami the necessity for its further practice is renewed at every i meeting. The bible readings in the mornings form a veiy interesting feature of these meetings, for it is I there that the faithful lind comfort uml the inquiring sinner can have ihe path ol' his duty made plain before him. Dr. Teasdale's sermons seem to have a powerful influence, ur.d they appear to produce spontaneous conviction. While, in our humble judgement, he says and dees some things which do not tend to promote a universal feeling of Christian fellowship, j et we rejoice great ly id the results of his work, and liovto tV?ov will bo rtermanenti. Rev. 3Ir. Therroll has devoted all his great energies to the occasion, and we are glad to see that he is being so amply rewarded. We hope the J work wid continue until the toughjost kiwi Is split and the last simidr jin Ou-unlen ie ivciuitavKl The Woman's Missionary Society. The Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church South is organized J or ims purpura of sending out women for missionary work. It lias been found that woman can accomplish a great deal to \^ards the conversion of the heathen, and there are many r.oble women who are willing to offer their services to the work. The object of the society is to furnish the funds for the purpose. Its formation was first conceived in 1878, and the General Conference of the Methodist Church South in that year gave it form and authority. Since then the work has rapidly spread, and now there are auxiliary societies connected with nearly every church in the South. The Woman's Missionary Society of tlie GV.iriden Methodist Episcopal Church completed its organization last* Sunday, with the names of twenty-five members on the roll. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs A H Capers; VicePresidents, Mrs A D Leitner, Mrs F C Gerald, Mrs R Goodale, Miss E T Warren; Secretary, Mrs M L Burns; Corresponding Secretary. vr.... a 7.- Ti.ni.'iv . t -u i fi ;L JV AJir>iM;u. xn ia.jiuu. ?.x_.....

We hear more reports of hydropliohia among dogs in this and surrounding counties than was ever known before to the oldest inhabitant. Every week accounts come to us of mad dogs appearing in different localities. There are about four thousand dogs ill Kershaw county. Suppose the hydrophobia were to become epidemic among them, and the whole four thousand go mad at once ? The results would be more horrible than the plagues of Egypt, and the calamity more terrible than a visit to the South by Heury Ward Beecher. Even with our present great facilities for killing dogs, we could not destroy all before hundreds of neonle would be bitten, aiul thrown into the agonies of a malady that only" df*a?7i relieves. Such a state of things is possible, and it becomes us to make preparation against it. Every man, woman and child in the county should study up the symptoms of hydrophobia, and they should each be provided with a gun or pistol, and made familiar with its use, so that they could kill a dog the moment lie gave evidence of being mad, and before he could do any harm^The law against carrying concealed weapons should be suspended in this coiuitv until the danger is past; or, it might be just as well to suspend it alto gethcr, for the good it does. Per haps it would be a better plan, however, to kill all the dogh before they have a chance to get mad. _ - _ - If you want to keep cool during the hot weather, go to C. J.

The exhibition of this wonderful machine in (. unden by Prof. Duval gave many of our peoph opportunity of witnessing the astonishing results of its workiug. Ivlcctricity forms no part of its construction, as we had supposed before we saw it. but it is simply constructed and operated upon principles of vibration. 1 o give a sauelitctojy explanation of the combination of causes which disables it to reproduce the human I voice, is beyond our ability. We I listened with the utmost attention l | to a long scientific discourse by the I j Professor, in wliich he explained nil j about the vibrations of the drum of; the ear being similar to the vibrations of the drum oi' the cylinder, connected by the three links of bone in the diaphram communicating to a sympathetic lluid of the needle making grooves on a sheet of tin foil that strikes a piece of mica, which returns the sound on two eccentric screws worked by a reversible windlass into a tin funnel made of pasteboard, which gave out the words th*t been spoicen into the instrument through a mouth-piece. This is about, as lucid a description as we can give, and we hope it is clear to our readers. Those who were there will understand the pho nograph better t han we can explain it. and those who did not go deserve to know no better became, they did r\r\t I.iI.'a /\iiv ridvriAA 1IUI KlUC V/((| idllTlVU' Prof. Duval, first spoke selections from "Mother Goose's Melodies" into the machine, which were reproduced in a distinct tone, but not as loud as tho natural voice. It rather had the sound of a voice that was some distance away. Laughter could be reproduced with more distinctness than anything ilse. In singing the, key would often change to a higher note. The voice could also be changed from a baritone to a high falsetto by turning the wheel faster. This was exhibited in the conversation winch was made to occur between n young man and his sweetheart, and when the young huly in a high treble interrupted the bass OI 1110 young luan uyMiy-u-tci mind about the woodshed, George, go on with your jiretty talk," every one looked around at a our Senior, whoso face wrs at the t-imc redder than Capt.

"We find the following remarks in the Abbeville Ma Hum, which strikes very harji at the lovers of chess. " Chess is getting to be a popular game with a number of our men who have leisure. Is not this as immoral in its tendency as a social game of cards? Neither one is sinful per se but toth require a waste of valuable time which might profitably be employed in doing good. Roth encourage habits of idleness and laziness, and we can't sec the consistency in crying down billiards and nllowiner chess nlaying to go runrebuked. Chess plnyinp is harmless in itself, but lewis on to evil just as cards and billia-ds. We direct the attention of the pulpit to this game, and warn them of the consequences if a halt is not called to it. WilhLbis hint we shall consider that we have none our duty in the matter." The man who penned the above I lines may be a good man, and mean well, but they sound move like they emanated from a rash fanatic. AVe have never before seen chess condemned as an immoral game, and the pulpit called on to chock it. AVe are satisfied that the writer lias no more knowlege of the gamo than if he had never hoard of it before, and. therefore, is not competent to speak - p A - __*i ...,1 ' i U1 It. All evu 111111(1 Villi iiMivu i;>ii out of any tiling. Ho classes the game with cards anu! lliards. There is 110 more likeness between them than day is like night. Chess arc seldom seen elsewhere than in par lors or drawing rooms and other places where ladies and gentlemen are to ho found. The others are seldom seen elsewhere than in gambling saloons, bar it mis and other like places of vice and rowdyism. Yon can now compare them and stu dy the difference before you again attempt to condemn it. Death of Col. Felix "Labauve. Colonel Felix Labauve, of Hernando. Miss., died June 12, 1879. in the 70th year of his age. Colonel Labauve passed from boyhood to manhood as a resident of Camden, and is remembered by all of our old citizens. We are indebted to Colonel John Rosser, a friend of the de ceased from boyhood, for copies of Memphis papers containing tne announcement of his death. "We print below a sketch of his life, taken from the Memphis Appeal, which we have reason to believe is from the gifted pen of Col. Rosser. It may not be inappropriate to stato here that Colonel Labauve was a regular subscriber to the Camden- Journal from his departure from Camden to the time of his death: Felix Lftbauve, Bon of Captain Felix Labauve and Antoinnette. bit wife, was born ai Vnuiers, France, in the department ot Ardennes, on Novemb?r 16, 1806. The father was a gallant officer in the army of the great Napoleon, and the most cherished heir-looms inherited by the son was a certificate date 1773, signed N Bonaparte, Consul," reciting that the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor had been conferred upon Uaptain tetix haDauve for 'he heroic gallan'ry displayed by him in holding for many days, wilh a single com puny of infantry, a narrow pass in the Alps against an entire division of fhe enemy under the renowned Suwarow, and a commission to a civil office many years later, signed "Napoleon, Eiupereur." The young Felix, loft an orphan at the early age of seven years, was brought to America, and placed in charge of two maternal uncles, who had preceded him. and had nlreudv become successful merchants in famden, South Carolina 11-re he grew to manhood, and continued to reside until about 1834, when he was induced by the distinguished South Ci colitui lawyer. Chapman Levy, to remove with him and settle in Noxubee county. Miss. He remained in Noxubee but a short tim?f ftmj in 1830 emigrated to DeSoo county. where lie ever afterwards continuously resided until his dentil. In the long period of for j ty tin ee years which inter ened, the liistorv of Felix Lnbauve wa- the history of : Pt'Sofo county. When ho settled the ! Indians held alm.st unduurbrd possesion, and less than a doz-'ti wliile men. scattered at wide interva's among them, gave but little token of the advancing tide ot civilization, which was soon to sweep the red men away. Colon 1 Labauvc participated in the organizat'n nrf tne county, and the writer of this sketch has often heard hini narrate the scene when the commissioners, appointed lor the purpose by the Legislature, met in an old Indian field, w! ere now stands the town of Hernando, and. seated on a fallen tree, proceeded to bring the new county into being1 From the hour of its birth to the day of; m death lJeSoto county never had a truer or more devoted son. Without tamily or kindred, he gave to her the love which other men give to wife and children, and his passion ate devotion to all that touched her honor and prosperity was like the love of the ancient for the imperial city. 1'ublic affairs, or rather county affairs, in addition to the charm which they had for other men of ambition and public spirit, possessed for him an interest as strong as that which the miser enter.ains for his gold or a father for his son. His ouick temper, his turbulent disposition, his vehement and passionate | manners in early lite, gained for him many enemies and detracted greatly irom his usefulness, hut underneath them all the body of his fellow-citizens recognized his sterling integrity, his .scrupulous honesty, his unfaltering fidelity to every trust, and they repeatedly honored him with public tflicc He was often a member of the State Legislature in both its branches, and was a most active and intelligent representative More than fifty years after he was brought to America, he revisited for the first time his native land, only to find himself a forgotten stranger None who bore liis name or blood could l e found and it was with some difficulty that, he discovered the graves of bis parents, over which he caused a handsome monument to be erect, ed. He made several subsequent visits to Franc, and served as a commissioner to lie Paris Exposition in 1878. llut though he was proud of his nativity and his French lineage, the land of his adoption was the land of his love, and here his heart's best j affections contend. One one of his visits to France he found a distant relation of the ! half-blood, and to his dangler, now a young ! girl of seventeen, he bcqu"athed by his will the sum of twenty-five thousand francs. The remainder of his property, with the exception of small legacies to some old friends, is left in trust, r his life-long friend, Gel. Thomas \V.
