One day last week Mr. James H. 1 Vaughan ginned out ten heavy bales : rrf r-n+fnrt in abnnt ten hours, on a six Jy-saw gin made by McCreight & ' Sen. of Camden. The staple was of ! superior quality, and brought lOAc. j iu this market. Can any one make ; a better showing than this ? Annt.Vier T>rniicht. The drought that has been pre j vailing in this section for the past ' two or three weeks, is doing great ! damage to the upland rice crop and late corn. The rice is now heading out and in flower, and the lack of rain just at tliis time causes serious i damage to it. Trom the Ashe*. We are glad to learn that Mr. L. j H. Peebles has nearly completed the j erection of a substantial new resi deuce on the site of the one lately destroyed by fire. Although having everything consumed and the labor of years swept an a night, Mr. Pee J blcs did not sit down and mope over j his misfortune, but his neighbors | came and offered their services, and the very next day after the fire he j went to work to get out timber for a new building. It is now ready for the mason and palasterer, and we congratulate hir.1. upon soon having 9 bvue Bguu>. Good Cigars. Messrs. Kirkley & Smith have added several new brands of choice cigars to their stock, and having tried them, we speak understandingly as to their good qualities. "Black Hoop." "Paul Boynton." "Town Talk" and "La Grandiza" are 5 cents cigars that cannot be beat, while the stock of fine brands are up to the standard. Champion Chess Player. Mr. Ira D. Jones, of Lancaster, | was in town last week and tackled : some of the crack players of the j Camden Chess Club. He beat them so badly that they thought he must be Paul Morphy in disguise. The Evins gambit and "King's Knight to Bishop's third" were met most grace fully.- and the attack thoroughly demoralized. Frank and Paul are now going to burn the midnight lamp in studying some new openings. Election of Officers. At the regular annual election for officers of Phoenix Hook and Ladder Company, held last Thursday night, the following gentlemen were elected to serve for the ensuing year: G. 3r. Alexander, Foreman; J. E. Gil>ert. Assistant Foreman; AYm. S. vnith. Secretary; AY. R. McCreight, treasurer. The company is now in ine condition, and has a good roll >f active members. Japt. J. W. McCurry. This gentleman comes before our eaders this week in a new advertisenent, announcing the opening of his mmense stock for the fall trade. He las one of tlie best stands in town, ind the large and commodious store hat he now occupies is being tilled lp with new and desirable goods. Dapt. McCurry is too good a merchant to be behind the times, and is >ne of the leaders in the new system jf cjuick sales and small profits. Inspect his stock and learn his prices. Euge Pair of Rattlesnakes. The largest pair of rattlesnakes tve have heard of this year, were dlled on Mr. S. N. Newman's place, mar Lynches Creek, about two weeks igo. They were found under a log leap by some negroes, who killed :hem. The largest one was a little jver six feet long, and had nineteen lattles. The other was a little less :han six feet, and had eighteen rat:les. A short time before that Mr. 1 Jacob Ellis killed a very large one m iiis piace. )ur Shoe, Hat and Clothing Man. Our paper this week contains the lew advertisement gf W. L. Arthur, >ur shoe, hftt and clothing man, and iur readers are invited to carefully ead what he says. Bis plerks are iow busy opening and arranging one if the largest stocks of goods in his iue ever seen in this market. We nfer from this that he has great 'aith ip an era of returning prosperity to our people, and intends to irmly .establish ins claim 01 ; the leader of low prices.'' New Store. The new store of Kennedy & McDowell is one of the handsomest laces in Camden, and their stock of groceries and other goods is unsurpassed. Everything in their estabishmeut is first-class, and all are ffered at the lowest prices to be Found anywhere. Tliev have on hand the largest and choicest stock of cigars and tobacco that has ever been brought to Camden. An Innovation. An unusual marriage, we are inFormed, occurred in an adjoining ?ounty a few weeks ago. The groom had not walked a step since the 29th M May, 1875, and was a widower with two small children.^ The bride is a charming young lady of about twenty summers, and universally beloved andj-espected by all who know her. The unusual feature of the case is that the union was consummated without one word of courtship by either party. Jt is not stated whether the groom has recovered the power of locomotion since the marriage. rhe Last Lecture. The last lecture of the series inaugurated by our citizens will be deivered by Dr. S. Baruch next Tues lay night. The subject selected is A Witness against Atheism," and the lecture will be surrounded by peculiar interest because Dr. Baruch lias the subject in charge. . It seems to be the gist of science nowadays to try to prove the fallacy of our reverence for and belief in a supreme existence that has civilized the whole n-nvlrl onrl in liovo tlio +?i?fimr>nv nf 80 well-informed a gentleman as Dr. Darnell in favor of the ideas we love is a great pleasure, Mr. WillBon'g Lectere. We liave never listened to a finer tribute to our women than was con tained in the lecture of Rev. J. 0. AVillson at the Town Hall on Tuesday night last. It was beamiful in its opening, eloquent throughout and sublime at its close. It was listened to with wrapt attention bv his audience, and no doubt many of his fair hearers left the hall with new impulses and purest feelings under the influence of words so fitly spoken and so beautifully delivered, while the young men were brought to a greater rev erence for tfyose beings who form the 8imshine of otir lives and give to us all the noblo sentiments wo posr i eess. While Mi-. Willson devoted ! himself principally to the more serious side of woman's life, yet he touched upon her foibles with a humor that was delicate but irre sistible. A short notice of this elegant production can do it no justice, and it would have to be heard to be appreciated. We are thankful that y>v that M, I, |- M1 linn? The Killing of Dr. Horton. "We learn that on Monday evening last Dr. J. J. Horton, living above Camden, near the Lancaster line, got into a dispute with a tenant on his place named James Bennet, about some fodder. Some abusive language u-tis nsfvl dnrinor the distmtc which made the doctor very angry, and he struck Mr. Bennet, whereupon Bennet stepped back, drew a pistol and ; fired upon the doctor, the shot entering his body near the groin and severing a large artery. Death resulted from the wound in a few minutes. We have not been able to learn whether the murderer lias been ( captured or not. Dr. Horton was a highly esteemed citizen, and his loss will be greatly felt by the whole of that communnity. Seed Cotton Traffic. We direct attention to the communication in another column on this subject, as one which takes hold of the matter in the right .way. The suggestions it contains, we feel satisfied, will meet the endorsement of all our farmers, and they should go to work in each township and form the associations outlined in the communication. Our corresnondent ex ^ ? x tends tin invitation to the fanners of DeKulb Township to meet opposite the Mulberry House on the Charleston road next Saturday, to devise some means for their protection in this matter. The tiling is of sufficient interest to them to cause a full turn out. "We hope to hear of prompt action by the meeting. Neill Blair. Since his sentence, Neill Blair appears to be very much cast down, and occupies most of his time in reading the Bible and endeavoring to prepare himself for his final end. He is not manacled in any way, but has the freedom of his cell. He seems to be anxious to talk, and speaks with resignation of his end, though it is apparent that he clings to a faint hope that his sentence will be commuted to imprisonment for life. It is said that Judge Mackey has expressed himself as willing to give his infiuence to that end* though it is doubtful if the jury which convicted him would sign such a peti tion. We have heard of no movement on foot in that direction yet. Col. Rion's Law Library. It will be seen by tbe subjoined extract that Col. James H. Rion, of Winnsboro, lias now* nearly four thousand volumes in his law library. Our esteemed contemporary, the Acics and Herald, speaks of it as perhaps the best private library in the State. We have no doubt of this, and we go even further and say that it has no superior in the length and breadth of 'this laud. A gentleman of learning informed us a day or two since that he had seen the vast volumes of Charles O'Conner. Win. M. Evarts and other distinguished men, uud that, in his judgement. Colonel Ixionfs spypassed them nil. His careful selection, the complete uud perfect arrangement, his great English, ScoicL and Irish Chancery reports, all in all make it a library without an equal. Col. Rion, like his libraiy, nl il, a i a*. f ihn 1 n /I Ait nil /I MiUJUW ?lL tut; IUJ> \Jl iavmti. uuu ranks liigb among the learned legal men of this country and time. We a.ie delighted to see and know this, and it gives us the i/rr itext pleasure to observe his success and appreciation. Col. Rion his recently added to hie al ready fine collection of law books a large number of rare and valuable works, which were a part of the law library of the late Chief Justice Moses, These books arc a great acquisition, adding much to the value of Col. Riou's collection. He has now nearly four thousand volumes? probably the best private law library in tbe Slate" Court Items, The jurors were dismissed on Mon day evening after eight days service. They all express delight with Judge Mackey. There was no delay in our court this term. Judge Mackey announced at its commencement that he meant "business," and he did business. The calendar presents a different appearance from what it did a month ago. It x'ftS a gratifying fact to observe that our jurymen had little to do with John Barleycorn. An exception now and then of course: but taken as a whole, the tickets they received were not pawned for whisky. On Saturday night last the clock struck twelve while an excited argument was going on in Court, His Honor admonisned tno counsel that he did not like to be reminded of the Sabbath by the ringing of the Church bells. Exit all. There was a general good feeling among our people as they met Court week. No suing unless it could be helped, and no ill feeling, except now and then a spat between the at tornevs. v Sheriff Bobv and Clerk Clyburn i came up to the full measure o? their duty during Court, and we are fortunate in having such efficient officers. We are informed that Judge w r 1 3 _ * tU i."K iuacaey was pieubeu \\ilu uiem. The Outlook. The outlook of business the com ing season is certainly better than it has been for years, and everybody j seems encouraged to believe that an era of prosperity is dawning again upon our people and country. This tiling is brought about by no great increase in the amount of money in circulation, but because the true value of a dollar has been established, goods are cheap and the people are less in debt for the year's supplies. The price of cotton will no doubt sutler no heavy decline, and while tho crop is short, most of 1 our people see where they can pay lout?Bwdiwrvioer&titeitffh Afcwsyutf ideas with which our people have ? long been hampered, are being abai doned, and a spirit of innovation an economy is being made evident i all departments of industry, whic are producing legitimate results. "W predict that the close of the year wi find our people better situated thn mi A in Kin reK 4- Knnn fn IUI ycaio jjunuciui* the future. The next tiling is to ge all the cobwebs swept from our sc cial and political fabric. A pur Democracy is what we now want t< build up our country, and when it i established we can look for the righ kind of immigration. Not before. A Graded School. "We have already referred to tin benefits that would accrue to tin people of Camden by the establish ment of a good graded school here Its importance is so evident and its advantages so great that we hac hoped ere now to see some of oui public-spirited citizens and schoo. officers take hold of the matter. Witt the limited amount of money col lected in taxes for that purpose, a strictly free school system cannot be operated to any advantage. A greal many schools are opened and continued for three or four months witt a hand full of scholars. The appro priation then gives out and the schools are closed. For three-fourths of ths '1Jmmm nntr 4*-* yenr uie uunmun \>itauuu ihxxj xxi stmction at all, or their parents have to send them to a pay school. If the amount of money apportioned to the white schools of Camden was mel by a liberal outlay on the part ol those who have children to edu catc, a sufficient sum could thus be raised to establish a first-class graded school, with the employment of a thoroughly competent ma.n as prin cipal and a good corps of assistants. The school could be kept open foi ten months in the year, and scholars would learn more wider this system in one year than they now do ir three. The amount paid for eacli scholar would be in proportion tc their advancement, and would be much less than parents now pay whc send their children to a pay school, It should also be borne in mind thai whenever there is a school of this kind established, with the requisite Rflinlars a*,/! k^nt rmpn s HUXLlLftri UA LIU X'w "I certain number of months, if comet within the benefit 0f the Peabodj fund. Here is another reason whj our people should be active in thif matter. While other coiuitles anc towns in the State are receiving lib eral assistance from this fund, w( have not jet seen a dollar of it. II was h wise provision of Mr. Peabod} that the people should first show s disposition to help themselves befon they could take advantage of his inu nificence. Now is the time to take this matter in hand, and we hope tc see people most interested taking the lead for its consummation. Dr not wait till next summer and thei] go around with a paper getting promises to do something away oil in the future. Past experience should teach our people what these tilings amount to. Let the trustees of this school district take tlTo matter in hzivl, sr.'! !et every parent in tCTTu who has children to educate take an interest in it. Ascertain how man\ scholars will be pledged to the school, and then go to work and establish it. Brevities.

This dishonest traffic .1 must be suppressed at once. It was a ? great mistake in the Legislature while limiting the hours within which seed 11 cotton might be sold, not blso to limit * the quantity to five hundred pounds or :t upwHrds. and impose on the sale of smaller parcels certain conditions necese sary to srcurp hon-sty. It is the sale 0 of small parcels, wh-ther by night, or ? day, that is ruinous to the planter. It enables the thief to enter his fields ut night, pick fifty or a hundred pounds of his cotton, and dispose of it next day before tl a tVeft bus be-m diseovir3 ed. t> lit removing nearlv all chance of 3 ' is diH< ction. This might have been " rem died by requiring 'he vendor of -mall parcels to inform the two n-nre?t 5 landbo: ii rs ol his intention to sell such I parcel, aod obtain ?h?-ir certificate as : to the probable honesty with wnich he I eauio by it, which certificate must be 1 prc'-nt d to 'he purchaser befoie he is authorised to buy, either ty night or 1 day. 1 hope soiii'* such amendment to the law will be made by tne Legist a? 1 for-* at its next s ssion. 1 But in the mean time fh" buyers of 1 seed cotton will, through thc't, have " gotten foss-eeion of a large share of 1 the cotton crop?a share so large that ! it. will t ike away more than the plant er's profit. This must not be. The . 1 thief and his accomplice, the buyer of 1 small quantities of seed cotton, whether ! by night or day. must be stoppad at \ once in their nefuriona procedure For this purpose the citizens of the va* rious townships should hold meetings ' at the earliest practicable day, organize ^ themselves into associations for the supk prcssioa of this species of theft, and adopt such measures as are necessary' for the immediate accomplishment of that result. To this end I would sug1 gest the adoption of a preamble and L resolutions something like the follow1 ine: 1 Whe eas the purchase of se^d cotton 1 ' in parcels less than five hundred ! pounds, by the encourag mcot and fa' ciliti'-s it affords to theft, has become an intolerable nuisance to our community; '' therefore be it 1 Retvlvi'.d. That we. the undersigned. 1 5 citiz- r>s of Township, pledge 1 1 our faith to each other thar we will } ' ach, to the utmo-t of his ability, aid. r support and sustain the other in whatr -ver measures may b< determined upon ] ' hy this association ns necessary to pre- j 1 vent th??
