Let us talk Railroad Now.
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. !

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 ~

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. We give fictitious names in
place of the real ones but the original
will recognize it at once: ,

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

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.

Our Voting Strength.
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.
A. large number of registration certificates
were also found in the boxes.

It Is estimated that courtships

The Usual Result.
It is not to be denied that a goocf sewing
machine is one of the most important appurtenances
of the modern household.
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."

! granted it?bat more to oblige tho agent

I they did so, and,a? a consequence, fell in

The npshot of the whole matter wns that
the old maohine was disposed of,- and the

our household. It is pronounced a genuine
beauty and a real comfort, and 'our folks'
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
