the public for its generous patronage.
P c-Xic at Xelley'a 2ridge.
The people of Darlington and
Kershaw, living in the neighborhood
o? Keller's bridge, joined in a grand
pic nic on the Darlington side last
-S ito-dav. Notwithstanding the ex
jcessively lipt weather, we learn that
every one had a good time, and that
even dancing was indulged in. Our
industrious "T. F.'' will tell our readers
all about it in his next.
The Official F:?per.
After a long and fruitless attempt
to get the county papers to do their
printing for less than the law allows,
and upon the assurance that the
said county papers would decline to
consider any further propositions for
"bids," the county commissioners, at
their last meeting, proceeded to se
lect an official paper by lottery. Our
neighbor, the Ker share Gazette, drew
the prize number, and we take occasion
to say that the arrangement
ti-oq rorr foir and satisfactory to us.

Pic-Nicofthe Oakland Guards.
Tlio staunch old Oakland Guards
will give a grand pic-nic at Pato's
Mill on the 26th inst. It is not necessary
for us to say that the affair
will be a glorious one, for they always
do up things in the right kind
of style out in Oakland. Gen. Kennedy
will deliver the address, and
^ other distinguished speakers will
have something to say. All the good
things that occur there will be related
in these columns, at the proper
time.

Eopes We are Satisfied.
After bis visit here, Superintendent
Peek remarked that he "hoped
the Journal was satisfied with the
schedule now." "We assure Mr.
Peck that whenever the interests of

what we consider our duty to the
public, whose sen-ant we are. and
we cannot be bribed into silence by
n free pass. We thank the management
for everything good they have
done, and stand always ready to applaud
every future act which shows
a disposition to do this end of the
road justice. We learn that both
Mr. Fisher, the receiver, and Mr.
Peck, the superintendent of the
road, will visit Camden together before
long, and we look upon their
coming as an indication that they
desire to do what is right towards
Camden. There is a plenty yet tc

' We regret to learn that Mr. R P. !

Fire at the Poor House.
On last Saturday a blind and deranged
inmate of the Poor House, I
named Nunnery, set tire to some of '
the outbuildings, and before assist- |
ance could be had they were con- j
sumed. Nunnery was brought to i *
Camden and placed in jail, and will i
probably be sent to the Asylum. He !"
lost liis eyesight and his mind from j i
being caught in a fire in the woods ; {
several years ago. He is in a pitia- 11
j ble condition. i

\A Great Inconvenience. [
A gentleman a few days ago in 11
! passing from Longtown to Camden j
| upon a very imjiortnnt errand reached J(
j Peay's Ferry at 6:30 a. m? and wait J(
ed one hour and twenty minutes be ?
fore the ferryman arrived. The de- 11
lay was a cause of great annoyance, (
and there was 110 excuse for it. Car- i
olina (the ferryman) is a first rate t
fellow, but this won't do. Rise ear
lier, and be more punctual, or the j
next shot we fire at you will carry a
much heavier load. j
?
The Storm Last Sunday. ^
The heavy storm which came with t
the rain last Sunday was expected I
by most every one, as it was indi p
cated by the . oppressive weather for a
several days previous. Before the f
rain fell, the wind blew the dust in e
such clouds as to darken everything, ?
and strong trees bowed to the gale s
like so many reeds. But very little 1
damage is reported, however. A few a
fences were blown down, and some 1
trees here and there snapped oft", the f
ground being too hard and dry for 1
them to be uprooted. - 1
The recent rain "will be of immense x
benefit to our planting interests, even *
at this late dav. though it is doubt- f
fill if it can save the old corn. That 1
is too far gone, and some farmers *
have plowed it up, intending to re- c
plant, and will depend upon a late c
fall to help them. The fields where
wheat and oats were planted are also j
being prepared for com and peas, |
and we hop.e that a beneficient Provi jn
dence will give us favorable seasons j ?
from this out. If the cotton does i *
not shed, it will do verv well.
1_ t
He Shook it Hp. c
c
We went into a certain store m j.
town the other day, where a baroroe- l
ter was kept, to see if it showed any | ^
j indication of rain, but not the least j j
j sign was apparent, the fluid in it be- .
I ing as clear as crystal. We visited ' s
it again in the afternoon, and then 1
noticed that a great change had , r
taken place: the fluid being clouded |"
considerably, as if rain was close at j (
hand. We called the attention of ! j
the proprietor to it, and lie said: I (
"No, the blamed old thing ain't any ; ^
account; it just stood the same way j ^
Jill the time, and I got tired seeing ; f
it that way. so I took it and shook j
it up to make it look cloudy, whether j f
the rain came or not." I

assembled multitude upon the evil of

prayer, and Buco close the meeting ;
with a benediction. Instead of tak- j
ing up a coilpotioni our Senior might j
sit on a log and receive new subscrib- i

already subscribed by our merchants, (
there ia now $165 raised of the $200
j asked for from this town We preI
sume the balance of $35 will be easily
raised among those merchants
who have not yet been approached |
upon the subject, and who have a
'heavy trade from Darlington. We
j will publish the full list of subscrib 1
J ers to this fund as soon as it is com
I pleted. No aid can be expected in i
l this direction from the South Caro J
j lina Railroad, from the fact that Mr.
I Fisher cannot use any money of tlio j
; road for an outside purpose without j
j permission of the Court under whose |
I supervision he is acting.

; We would call the attention of our
patrons to this new enterprise of
Mr. Burt which is now ready for
business, and we recommend all who
1 may need anything in his line to give
f him a call. A good lumber yard is
something that has long been needed
1 in Camden, and novy ilr. Buit has
supplied this want. He has con
stantly on hand a large supply of
! lumber of all kinds, and at lower
prices than was ever known here be1
it re. First class square lumber at
' only 212 oer tliousund feet, with
1 other grades proportiouatply less.
The grist miil is ninnhig every day,
1 and he keeps on hand a large supply
of fresh meal and grits which he sells

i- truthful account of the pitiable

On last Saturday Ur. Jniuus Hub- '
;ey fatally shot a negro man in the j,
iffioo of Trial Justice Hickling, of (
Lancaster coimty, hear the Cureton 1
)lace It appears that Dr. Massey
vas giving his evidence in a case ]
pending before the trial justice be;ween
two negroes, when one of j
diem told him that he was "swering
:o a d?n lie, whereupon he made i
'or the negro, but was stopped by ;
the trial justice and forced into an- '
3ther room. Shortly after the ne- ,
**o passed by the window of the .
room in which Dr. Massey was con- :
[iced, when he took the trial justice's 1
spin that was standing in the corner

in the neck and the other in the side.
The negro was living on Monday,
but the doctors pronounce his injuries
beyond recovery.
Concealed Weapons.
Not a day passes but what we see
and hear accounts of some one being
shot or stabbed?mainly the result
of earning concealed weapons. Our
officials pay no more attention to
the statute against such a practice
than if no such law existed. "Why
is this ? If a man is arrested Uy
them and a pistol is found upon his j
person, no notice whatever is taken j
of it; it being considered all right. |
Why is he not prosecuted at once ? !
We ask municipal as well as countv
,,ft;,Tf
be paid to the statute than there; is
at present, it ought to be stricken 1
oft' at the next session of the Legis- i
latuie so as to give Jaw abiding citizens
a lawful moans of defending
themselves against the attacks of i
ruttiaus who disregard all law. It is :
a blessing to the thief as it now j
stands. When he goes to commit a j
robbery he takes along his pistol, do- !
termined to make his escape from I
any one who may detect them, even
ii' he has to shoot them, knowing j
that if he is caught he will only bo
tried for the robbery, not for having
a deadly weapon on ins person. Uur
trial justices tell us that if we prefer
charges against a man for carrying
concealed weapons, that they will
prosecute him. Sow, whose business
is it to prefer charges when
the trial justice sees it and knows as
well as we do that the fellow has a

The Ieated Term.
A Lcavy storm last Sunday put an
end to the Ion# drouth and the lint
test wsather that has ever been felt
in this section within the recollection
of the oldest inhabitant. From
Mondaj of lust week, up to Sunday,
the condition of the temperature as
indicated by^the thermometer, would
have done credit to Africa. The following
are the highest points reached
by the thermometer in Dr. Zeuip's
drug store, one of the coolest places
in town, during the six days : Monday
04. Tuesday 00. Wednesday 00.
Thursday Id, Friday 103. Saturday
105. In Kiikwocd and a few other
nnints in tosvn a higher degree was
readied, but we think the figures we
have given tre a fair average for
all. An experiment was tried on
Friday to see bow high the thermo
meter wgiij.iic'i^e if placed in the
suu. Li a few hours it marked 140
degrees. Now, that it is past, we
can hardly realize how people existed
under such oppressive heats and
were able io pursue the routine of
regular' business. "What air that
stirred during the time was warmer
than the blood, and felt like a blast
from a hot furnace. Strange to say.
we have heardtf no instances in this
