Tast Ginning. .
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

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

Dapt. McCurry is too good a merchant
to be behind the times, and is

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

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

the largest and choicest stock of cigars

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

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

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

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.

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

A Graded School.
"We have already referred to tin

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

their advancement, and would be
much less than parents now pay whc

that the people should first show s

they could take advantage of his inu

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

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.

jo Seed Cotton Traffic.
a~ Messbs. Editors: Your article on
the traffic in seed cotton looks in the
.n right direction. 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:

' in parcels less than five hundred
