New, since the exciting election times are over, let ns renew the railroad question and not let it rest until we get another road. The business interests of our town demand it, and the prosperity of every interest in the county is dependent upon some other means of outlet than the South Carolina Railway. Any of the proposed routes?either to Ridgeway, Charlotte, direct to Columbia, or from Columbia to Camden and then on to Wadesboro, N. C. We are surrounded now by railroads, and we must get some connection with them or our town will go down to nothing It is a duty every pood citizen owes to his town to do everything he possibiy can to advance its interests, there* fore, let us work and talk up railroad until we get it. Third Supply. We have just reeeived our third supply this Fall of the celebrated "Milburn" Wagons. The just mer its of these wagons are making us large sales in them. We can show by practical illustration, that they last longer and hold together better than any wagon on the market They are Dot always at the shops. ! W. L. Arthnr & Bro. A Correction. Mr. James Jones, the courteous and efficient agent of the South Calina Railway Company at this place has called to our attention a little article which appeared in the Jouk- ; nal of the 2nd, in which we in substance said that the freights on the above railway had been nearly dou- i bled, and that the merchants were complaining greatly of the same. 3 The rates, as we are informed by ( Mr. Jones, from Camden to Charles j ton on first class goods is increased ( about five cents per hundred, and ( the other classes of freight in proportion, according to their grade . There was no disposition upon our 1 part to do the company an injustice and we most cheerfully make the 1 correction. He Wanted a Drink Badly. During the election it was hard for the ao^al^erardiiDE" "arid they ~ ngSHJrteu'to many thicks to fopl the barkeepers who were afraid of being caught by Council and severely dealt with. The following was pick ed up on the street the other day, and shows one of the tricks resorted to.

[L. S.] Order : D. Blacking is hereby authorized to execute the above. The spirits came upon the requisition being presented. Homicide. On Saturday last Allen G. Ward, white, had some personal difficulty i with Coleman Crawford, colored, when he fired upon Crawford, in- 1 flicting a severe wound in his side near the back, from the effect of which he died that evening. It aprienrfi flint, Ward who was the watch man at Mr. Workman's turpentine ; still, bad been on bad terms with Crawford for some time, (Crawford was also employed at the still as a cooper) and Crawford bad threatened to beat Ward wherever be met him. They met in the street on last Saturday, with the above result. The wound was inflicted with the same gun that James Clyburn used when he killed Alex. Sheorn. Coroner Goodale held an inquest over the body on Sunday morning, and the Jury returned a verdict that Crawford came to his death from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by a gun in the hands of Allen G. Ward. i It was a surprise to everybody | when they learned that Allen Ward had killed a man, for ever since lie has been around Camden he has been known and looked upon as one of t>ie most peaceable and inoffensive men in the world, never interfering with any one. lie was a very weak man, physically, having been almost av death's door ever since the war where he received a fearful wound in the breast, and from which wound he is still suffering. It is greatly regretted by every good citizen that this fearful tragedy has taken place, but we are not acquainted with all of the circumstances, and we forbear comment. Mr Ward is now in Jail awaiting trial at the January term of court New Crop Molasses. -L1CW VXICaUD J.' auuj auxu lucuium grade for sale by W. L, Arthur & Bro. Fire Alarm. The alarm of fire on Monday evening was caused by a child throwing a lighted match into a pile of straw which was in the rear of a store on Broad street. No damage was done, as the fire was soon extinguished. An Explanation. The delicacy, flowery and lasting fragrance of Floreston Cologne explain why' it is such a favorite with the ladies. White Frost. 1 On yesterday morning we had a heavy white frost in this vicinity. It nipped everything in the way of tender vegetation, and makes us feel like winter has really come at last.

The following table shows the number of votes polled in Kershaw county in the recent election for State and county officers. The great discrepancy between this and the Congressional vote was caused by the large number of votes that were not counted on account of their having been placed in the wrong boxes.

The mast in the woods this year is enormous, and hunters predict an unusual influx of migratory game? pigeons,.ducks, geese, etc. The election is over, it is true, but we don't -want our delinquent sub scribers to forget us. We want them to come up with the cash now. The marriage insurance associations have collapsed and swindled Everybody who was 'green' enough to risk any money in them. Bacon has at last taken a downward turn, having fallen two cents in ton days. It is about time corn was falling in price, but it has not come down yei The hanis sold by T. J.

There is rejoicing all over onr State, at the result of last week's election. -Cbrroption and rascality can take a back seat again, and we hope they there forever* Sam Lee proposes to contest Maokey's seat in the next Congress. It is to be hoped that Mackey will be ousted. He is too great a scouni drel to be tolerated anywhere. The penitentiary now pays a handsome revenue to ;he State. In Radical days it cost the State $87,000 per annum to keep it up. Quite a difference between Democratic and i Republican rule.

Sparks from the engine set fire to a large pile of cotton seed at Mr. "SV. D. Boykin's gin house last week. The hands succeeded in putting out the fire before any serious damage was done. Fox hunting is the favorite sport now of the young men below Cam den, and they are enjoying it to the fullest extent Foxes are plentiful, but fox hounds are scarce. It is probable that J. Hendrix McLane will now return to his proper calling in life and leave politics alone. He was no more suited to the position of Governor than a monkey would be to preside over a military academy. A cat knocked a loaded pistol from a shelf in Louisville, Ky0 on Tuesday. The pistol was discharged when it struck the floor, and the ball pierced the heart of a little child playing with his toys. Liver diseases, headache and constipation, caused by bad digestion, quickly cured by Brown's Iron Bitters. Thanksgiving turkeys will soon be in demand. If we had to depend on some of our delinquent subscribers for money with which to buy one, it is probable that we would have to tackle 'crow' instead of turkey. It Is estimated that courtships cost on an average twelve cords of wood each; it is claimed, however, that parents are willing to go that much in getting a husband for their girl as ten years of old maidenhood costs more than one courtship. "We wonder if any one in this county will have the ''cheek" to say he was intimidated during the recent election ? It is reported that the affidavit mill is already running in some of the counties. The best place for these perjured scoundrels is in the penitentiary, and every one who fails to prove his assertions should be immediately indicted and sefit there. * Tint's Jfius .a sugar num.

We thought we had a good machine in our household until one day the agent of the New Home presented himself at our door and proceeded to deliver an oration upon its characteristic merits. But," we answered, "our machine serves us nicely and suits us well, and we do not care for another/' The agent, however, begged the privilege of leaving one of his .maohines with us, "for the ladies to try." rru? ??( nnmiMotli an arm XJJU iC^UCOb nao uvv UUi wnuuuuwivi WW ??w ! granted it?bat more to oblige tho agent I than any thing else; for we really.did not | want the maohine, and had. not the remoI test idea of baying it. | The maohine once in the hou?e, it was | natural that the ladies should Joak it over.

The npshot of the whole matter wns that the old maohine was disposed of,- and the ' Light Running New Home" installed in our household.
