Death of Mr. A. L. McDonald. t
Mr. Alexander L. McDonald died ?n
it his residence in Camden on last B
Tuesday night, in the seventv-seventh *

jccasioned by a fall which he re "
reived about three weeks ago, en- J

loath. Mr. McDonald followed the *
calling of a school teacher for many v
rears in this community, and there c
ire many of our citizens, who are t
row past the meridian of life, that 1
received the rudiments of their edu- , t
ration from him. In 1862 he was !1

foing 011. This lasted until about r
5 o'clock, when dinner was announc- 1
d. This was agreeable news for 1
nany of the party, as the long fast n
lad given them good appetites r
After dinner was over, the speak- (
ng was resumed and kept up until a
ibout 4 o'clock, when the crowd be- c
^an to disperse and wend their way s

ve foiuid the wagons waiting to con'ey
us back to Camden. After land I

jiteresting Entertainment at Town i>
Hall. r
The dull monotony of Camden
ras broken on Tuesday evening last j
>y a most pleasing and delightful a
ntertainment given af the Town
lall for the benefit of the Methodist
Church choir. The performers were h
11 amateurs, but they reflected the
ugliest credit upon the profession,
jong before the curtain was raised a r
arge and attractive audience had as- r:
embled for the purpose of spending
11 evening of delight, which for "
ome time they had had in anticipa- ''
ion. Sweet music was discoursed
>y a string band, and all presented n
. lively and interesting scene. The I:
lour of 8:HO soon arrived, and with
t the curtain went up, and the beau- ,
iful tableau of " The Bridal Party" -j
vas presented. It was lovely in the ^
xtreme, and the modest blushes of
lie UJ 1UU Ciuu biiv nviAvuk} avvu v/x
lie groom added greatly to the inerest
of the occasion. It looked so
rntural we could but ponder why
he real genuine idea didn't irresistidy
force itself upon all of those
oung and happy people. Next came
lie "Debating Society." The sub
ect v/as first rate, the discussion
musing, and the whole cjuite laugh- h
Lble. Space will not permit us to f
o into details, or we would pay our ?
espects to each and all of the per
brraers. However, we can say that a
he selections were line, the singing o
ioft and sweet, and recalled vividly p
o orn- minds ^the days that were."
That familiar old soner, "Hard .
rimes," with the excellent tableau
onnected with it, seemed to particuarly
bring down the house; and the
sweet, tender musical voices of the
gentle ladies y/ho appeared upon the "
,tago was a delight to all, and was h
oudly encored. And here wo can- o
lot fail to notice the charming part
hat the male portion of the actors a
lerformed. They did their duty p
veil, arid modesty only forbids our j
nentioning them personally. The t
vhole thing concluded with a song, j
Good Night," by the company, and
is the crowd dispersed there was an
expression of well done from all *
>ides. pr
To the most excellent and accom- 1
.ljshed lady who was at the head, :l

ANTIOCH RAPTIST CHURCH.
Its Establishment, Pastors, Member
ship, etc.
This Church is in Kershaw comity
sight miles east of Camden, on the
Bishopville road. It was constituted
on March 6th, 1824, by Hillman
Hill and Charles Ingram, with a
nembership of twenty-four?twelve
nales ard twelve females, and with
Rev. C. Ingram as its first pastor.
John Burnet, one of the members,
vas call 3d to ordination, and succeeded
Mr. Ingram, as pastor, in Norember
1825, and continued to fill
I--a loon
jiat position up to uwcuiuu j.quu,
vlien the Rev. Bryant Gause was
called to the pastorate and remained
ip to 1835. The church was then
vithout a pastor, and remained so up
;o 1838. when Rev. A. McDowall
vns called and served for one year,
L838. Rev. John Hicks of Darling.011
succeeded him in 1839, and con:inued
as pastor to 1843, when Rev.
V. McDowall was re-called to the
mstorate and served for two years,
in 184G. Rev. M. W. Mixon, of Darington

wo years. Rev. L. P. Rollins, of
Darlington, was next called to the

1848 and '49. The memberiliip

THE NO-FENCE LAW.
LETTERS PRO AND CON?SOME INTER- !
ESTINO REASONS ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE QUESTION.
Fences Cheaper than Stock Minders. J
Flat Rock, July 1, 1879
Messrs. Editors : I notice in the col t
urans of your paper that you advocate the
V-? nn fnnno low nnil civo seme
pucsugc ui uvivuuv . ?.?, ? e
reasons for your position. The develop- i
ment of science is unfolding many new I
ideas, some of which are highly beneficial
to man, while many are merely speculative
ones, which from their nature and design,
can profit but a favored few. After enre- ?
ful thought upon both sides of the subject,
(no fence) I have concluded that a change,
unless it be to put, or cause to be put, a (
good fence around every farm in the county,
might be ranked with the latter class
of "new ideas." I propose, first, to notice
your propositions.
Let us see whether it. will cost more to
keep up a fence around the majority of
farms, than to hire a stock minder. I no- I
lice, first, rbat a two-horse farm, consisting
of 80 acres, can be fenced witn 076
panels of fence, ten rails to the panel.
This v.-ill take 9,760 rails, which at 50 C
cents per hundred, will cost $48 50. to
which add the cost of hauling say $.10,
and tne putting up. $25. and we have for ,
il>,? onil.o ?r>at fifl This now fonoe
will stand for six years without repair.
The ratio of six to $103.50 is $17.25 per
year, and after the first six yenrs the average
will not exceed $10 on account of old n
rails. From the above figures you see that P
the entire cost ot repairing outside fences. 0
which" are all that is necessary to keep out ''
other people's stock, will not amount to ^
what it will cost to board a stock minder
during the six yenrs, to say. nothing of his 1
wages.
In regard to the destruction of the timber.
I answer that in turning out worn out e
lands, it would in most cases compel us to
clear others, which will necessarily result
in a destruction of timber; and again, the
timber usually disposed of for that purpose
is scarcely fit for any other, being too
small to be sawed into lumber,
With reference to the poor farmers being
orced to cultivate their worn out lands. I
would suggest that they remove their fence
and enclose their good lands Why not ?
Per nit me to say that while a change
mi<rht suit manv who would be favored
with pood pastures. from which flicy c-m! 1 .
sell bi-ef nt very higli figures, I am not lie
who believes that it will suit the majority
of the farmers composing the county nt ?
Kershaw I feel satisfied that I will he ?
hacked by the jutlgement. of the majority
of farmers in this section, in saying, that
it will not pay us. We have thousands of
acres of land available for pasturage, and
fit for nothing elite, which if we were
forced to fence our stock, would be dead
capital. While we have but few acres,
comparatively speaking, that pay to culti
vate, the fencing will cost us but little, as ,
I have clearly shown. We can sell beef ^
enough to pay for that.
Not being a debater. I leave the subject (j
for experienced reasouers.
W. J. Youso
No Fence, or No Stock. '
Russell Place, July 3, 1879.
One of th? following three things we
must relinquish?the tenant system, stock
raising or the fence law. The tenant sys- (i
tcm will not be abandoned while the lien
law is in force. Stock raising is a necessity
of the Southern farmer, and will he attempted
as long as the Southern States arc
populated The fence law and the tenant
system combined destroys 'no profits of
stock raising. The tenant depends on the
lien fltW to obtain supplies to enable him to
makeTi'is "crop. The merchnnt will not
furnish supplies on a lien on crops to furnish
the tenant more than three months m
the year, to wit, April. May and June. _
The tenant plants largely in cottou to pay 1
his lien: his grain crop will not feed him ^
longer thnn three months, say August,
September and October. Hence, he finds
six months unprovided for?Inly. Novcni
ber, December, January, February ami
March. In July lie subsists on blackberries,
fruits, roots and vegetables. The re
niaining five months lie works for small
farmers who cultivate their own land.
Consequently, be has no time to build n
lawfa!, fence around the fields he will plant r
next year. All of his time is consumed in f
making cotton to pay his lien, and after
his crop is exhausted, he works out"
until planting time agnin, to teed and
clothe himself and family. The result,
with bin, is no fence; the result with lit
neighli >rs Is no stock When his neighbor's ?
stock depredate upon his unproiect. d crop,
lie retaliates upon the slock; and if the
stock is fat, and his lien is very lean, he
adds the -stock advances to his lien advances.
aud thu? increases tho supplir
necessary to enable Lira to ma]<e. hit* crop
Tims we find neither crop or stock protect- ,
eil under the present fence law It is true J
the fence'aw requires this sauie tenon'
that killed and ate the ?.ow or hop to enclose
his crop with a pond and substantial
fence, hut a law requiring the blind to see
or beggars to ride in coaches, could be as
r-'adily enforced. It is likewise true that
ho win, unlawfully kiits the cow, incurs the
penaltj'of a misdemeanor. Hut how is the
osnT of the cow benefitted b}' such pun
islunent ? The lieu covers the crop, nn<l
foe tenant has nothing else wherewith to pay
damages.
This locality would be greatly benefitted
by a law requiring owners of stock to k?cp
them enclosed. I hope other sections may
venture their views t it rough the columns j
of your paper. J. R. M.
