The Drought.
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.

to place an impediment
to the free passage of a highway at

! ST. JOHN'S DAY AT SPRING
HILL.
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.

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

'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.

County Auditors p.ud Treasurers.
We learn that it is the almost uninntinkhous

should be made elective instead
of appointive. They were made appointive

The tiling lias changed now to

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

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

A Fearful Danger.
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.

The Phonograph.
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,

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

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

Hard on Chess Players.
"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

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 :

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. White, for ihe purpose
of educating at the Stite University,
at Oxford such orphan boys of DeSoto
county as Col. White during his life, and |
j after his death, the Chancel.or of tne lini|
versify, may select.
