Stokes' Bridge.
The county commissioners of Dar
lington have advertised for proposals
to rebuild Stokes' Bridge, open
to the 16th instant. The conditions
are that the bridge shall be completed
by October 1. This will be in
time to give Camden the benefit of
the fall trade.

patronage will be large.
A Young Horace Greeley.
The Judge has gone into agriculture
again, and in his paper last
week gave a flattering notice of Mr.
Boewell's "field of corn" by the Court
House. All along the people have
been under the impression that thai
"field of corn" was a field of peas.
But then the Judge ought to know.

The question is, "What can be done
to stop their ravages." Can any ol

The great revival at Ebenezei

country around Ebenezer should noi
be made to blossom as the rose.

Revenue Sale.
Opt J. L. Little, Deputy Revenn
Collector, from Columbia, came t<
Camden on Monday to conduct tk
sale of the whisky, team and fixture
seized some time since from J. fc'
Lyon for violation of the revenu
laws. The sale took place in frou
of George Alden's old stand. Capt
O. "Witter, auctioneer, and the arti
cles brought pretty fair prices. Twi
of our friends from above invested n
a package of whisky apiece, and Mi
J. D. McDowaJl bought the mul

there is to be a pood old fashioned

mill, six miles north of Camdeh. It
r is expected that all who attend will
have a jolly time. The whole Joure

Vaughan for an invitation to be pre

Judge Mackay as a Lecturer. i
e The term of court for this comity I
e is but a few weeks off, and Judge '
Mackay will preside. We suggest !
? to the committee that they endeavor
to secure his services for the lecture
to be delivered in the series during
- court week. The Judge has made
for himself quite a reputation in the
; lecture line, and we have 110 doubt
that a large audience would turn out
r to hear him.
A Five Cents Counter.
t Mr. W. L. Arthur keeps abreast
I of the times, and has added a new
' and useful feature to his business.
On next Satimlay his five cents
counter will be opened for inspection
and patronage. The variety of arti1
cles ottered is bewildering, and too
numerous to mention. The best way
to do is for every one to go and in
spect for themselves. They will be
sure to find something that they
need.
A Query from Beulah.
A gentleman in the Beulah section
wishes us to ask the county treasurer
if he can tell a person exactly
the whole amount of bridge tax he
will have to pay before the tax will
cease, as he wants to pay his share
of it now and be done with it. He
does not want to leave his property
encumbered by this debt Jor generations
to come. He believes that the
i bridge tax will continue to be collected
long after the old bridge has
rotted away and been forgotten.
; Methodist Ice Cream.
It is scarcely necessary for lis to
say that this evening is the regular
time for the serving of ice cream on
Hampton Square by the ladies of the
Methodist Church. This pleasant
t arrangement has become so popular
. that people need not be reminded of
' its reciurence. It is an event of each
? week that they look forward to, and
t lay up their small change accordingly.
No doubt the usual success will
attend the affair this afternoon, and
the usual pleasure derived therefrom.
A Pleasant Time.
A party of ladies and gentleman
had made preparations for a trip up
the river on the Lillington last Satnrdav.
and went to the river for that
pui-pose. But when there they found
that the boat had not returned from
the down trip. After waiting in a
, drizzly rain for some time, without
tho boat arriving, they concluded to
adjourn to the Methodist parsonage,
and have a pleasant social time any
way. This was done to an eminent
degree, as every one who had the
good fortune to be of the party will
testify. -? . .
The Lecture fit* Town Hall. 1
Agreeable to notice, quite a' large '
audience was in attendance at Town
Hall last Tuesday night, to listen to '
the lecture of Col. Shannon upon
' "What I Know About Boys." We 1
learn that the lecture was both in- ]
teresting and amusing.
Next Tuesday night the second 1
lecture of the series will be delivered 1
by Dr. Boykin. the subject being

A Rare Treat. j
Our friend and neighbor, Capt.
John Burdell, made us quite glad !
the other day at the receipt of a basket
of grapes, and though beautiful
to look upon, they were even sweeter
; to taste. The "Pelaware' (as he in,
forms us) is a new variety, and for
; delicious flavor and superabundance
of iuice we have never seen them
surpassed. "We wish that our people
would imitate the example of
Capt. Burdell and cultivate all such
p fruit in more abundance. It does
s not cost much, and pays a great deal.
We beg to tender to the donor our
( sincere thanks.

A Smart Little Boy.
r There are some parents who make
1 promises to their children that they
f never intend to fulfill. But there is
! at least one lady in Camden, to her
2 credit be it said, who never disap
_ points her children in this respect,
r and they have great faith in her.
She promised one of her little boys a
whipping the other day, and he had
perfect confidence that he was going
n tn trot it. So he nreriared himself

A meeting of the Executive Committee

Improvements.
"Workmen are now engaged in

will also be raised several feet, and
other important changes made.
The cottage of Miss UeJN Don, on
Lyttleton street, has recently under

is now a very pretty residence.
Mr. Burt is tmilding himself a

occupation of his family.
The new residence of Mr. J. T.

Due to Ourselves.
"We have been told that Mr. Herman
Banm states that he offered this |
paper a statement of the account of
the treasurer of the bridge commission,
for publication, and we declined
tn nvhit it To avoid anv
wrong impression that may arise
from this assertion, an explanation
from us appears to be necessary. On
Monday of last week Mr. Baum came
to the proprietor of this paper, and
submitted a transcript of the accounts
that the treasurer of the
bridge commission filed with the
clerk of the court, and asked him if
he wanted to print it. The reply of
the proprietor of this paper was
that he did see the use of doing so,
as he did not think the statement, in
that shape, would throw much light
on the matter; but that if Mr. Baum
desired to give the public a con
densed account of the monetary
transactions of the commission, it
would be printed as information.
The itemized statement, he thought,
1 1-1 1 i.L - ,1
properly oeiongeu iu me gruuu j my,
and its correctness ascertained by
them before being given to the public.
It may also be stated here that Mr.
Baum first carried the statement to
the Gazette, through which paper the
treasurer of the bridge commission
had sought to cast reflections on the
Journal, and of which Messrs. Baum
are large patrons, but the Gazette declined
to print it without pay. Under
these circumstances, we do not
feel that it is incumbent upon us to
do the work gratuitously, if for no
other reason.
UNPROVOKED MURDER.
Neill Blair at Last Commits a Deed
Where He Cannot Escape the Law.
The devil seems to have turned
himself loose in Camden last Saturday
night. After a long spell of
comparative quiet in our community,
drunkenness got rampant again, and
the lecritimate results were one mur
der and very near another. Neill
Ulair on last Saturday nigm kuicci
William Adamson, colored, and came
very near killing Ben Doby, also colored.
The circumstances show that
it was a most heartless and unprovoked
murder, and is as follows :
About 9 o'clock on Saturday night
Neill Blair, somewhat under the mj
tiuence of drink, was standing near
the front door of Ellis' bar room
talking with Mr. W. H. Ellis. lie
had just asked Mr. Ellis for a drink,
which had been refused him, when
"William Adamson, the murdered
man, came up and told Mr. Ellis to
give Neill a drink for which lie would
pay. Mr. Ellis again refused to let
him have it. Adamson then said to
Blair, "Come on, Neill, let us go,"
ahd taught hold of him- As he did
I
I
so. Blair said, . "D?1 you. let me
go," drew a dirk, and with a backward
stroke, plunged the blade into
Adamson's breast Be then turned
to Ben Doby, who vas standing
near, and cut him across the breast,
inflicting a horrible sound. After

wards the back of the store, where
Mr. Wm. Kirkland nras standing,
and raised his knife tc make another
assault when Mr. Ellis interferred.
Blair then walked out of the back
door, went to the front of Shirley's
bar, where Adamson had been earned
hy his friends, and inquired very
innocently who had cut Adamson.
Being told that he did it, he walked
away. Adamson was then earned.
I towards his home, and died while on
the way.
By this time great excitement ex
isted, and information of the murder
was conveyed to Intcndant Kirkley.
He immediately ordered the
cliief of police to summons all the
force and arrest Blair if they had to
kill him to do it. He told them to
search all his known places of resort.
The Intcndant then sought Ransom
Pringle, the Captain of Fire Company
No. 3, and told him to summon
his company to assist in. the search.
After these orders ho went down
towards the scene of the murder.
While at Warden Barfield's store,
chief of police Nettles came to him
and told liim that he thought Blair
" 'nif.i ?A. mi
was locked up in nans store, jl uey
went across there together, and met
a young man coming out. Mr. Kirkley
asked this young man if Blair was
inside,and the reply was that he was
not. Not being satisfied that such
was the fact, Mr. Kirkley concluded
to investigate further.. Sir. Robt L.
Oliver, Mr. Ellis' clerk, next came
out of the' store. He was asked if
Neill was inside. He Replied: "I
cannot tell you, but Mr: Ellis can."
He was then asked to go back and
tell Mr. Ellis that Mr. Kirkley wanted
to see him, but he said it was no
use, Mr. Ellis would not come. Mr.
Kirkley then said, "Do you know
that Mr. Ellis knows* where Blair
is ?" Mr. Oliver replied, "Yes; Mr.
Ellis can put his hand on him now."
This satisfied Mi*. Kirkley that Neill
was inside, and he placed a guard at
both the front and rear doors of the
store. They had not long to wait
before Mr. Ellis caused both doors
to be opened at the same time, and
as Blair walked out of the back door
he was arrested by Capt. 0. Witter
and policeman Carter. He had his
knife in his hand at the time, but
made no resistance,. a id gave .the
knife to his captors- While being
carried to the guard house, Neill
asked what, they were going to do
with him. He was told that he had
killed one man and probably fatally
injured another. Ho said : "Why,
11 * ? 1 "* ' ? ? ? Bflnn
mat s noming; xiuve yuu iicvci dcw
a d?d nigger lulled before ?" He
was confined in the guard house until
Sheriff Doby arrived, when he was
takon to jail.
An inquest was held over the body
of Adamson, and an examination
showed that the point of the knife
had entered the puln**?ry artery
witliin a quarter of an inch of the
heart, causing death. The verdict
was according to the facts.
The condition of Ben Doby is very
precarious. The wound extended to
his lungs, and his physician says that
his life will depend upon favorable
symptoms for the next eight days.
