A good deal of property waw advertised for wait? hut several of the tract# levied upon wore pahl up with costs at tached, The property disposed of waw uh follow?: OAe acre in ( 1 1 < > city of Camden, located in Kirkwood, the property of Itichard Coleman ' was Mold to H, I/, Bchloshurg for $ 7 <> . Two acrcH north of Camden, the proporty of Richard Certain, waw purchased hy K. S. Vllleplgue. Price paid $20.

Three acres north of Camden, the property of Lizzie Kennedy, waH pur chased hy W. H. de Loach for tho sum of $84. state. Several witnesses appeared for the defense, the principal of whom were L. s. Jackson and the de einlniit himself. 1,. s. Jackson tes tified that the defendant with his partner had been in his place of business sometime prior to the kill ing and while there that the de fendant had given to the deceased 25c with fivo cents of which the latter bought a coca cola and put the remaining twenty cents in his pocket. Tbi? testimony was appar ently brought out by the defense in an effort to refute any argument to the effect that Geo. Simon, thft deceased was in possession of any money which might have prompted his companion, the accused, tof mur der him for purposes of robbery. Very naturally the sensation of the trial was the testifying of Ben jamin John himself. Several times the court had to be called to order when the broken accent and pecu liar gesticulation of Benjamin elic ited repeated laughter from the un | usually large crowd which had gathered in the. court house to hear him. But Benjamin John prffv | ed a shrewd witness and even the characteristically clever crows exami-J nation of Solicitor Cobb failed to shake him from his point. The tes timony of the defendant was to the effect that he had met George Si mons in Meridian, Miss., for the firtfc time and had premised him there that he would pay his expenses to New York if Simon would assist him in his work of collecting money for various religious organizations in Turkey which he professed to represent. He laid special empha ! sis on the fact that it was in this, capacity of a practically hired man that the deceased travelled around with him, and that the latter not | only had nothing to do with -the , money collected, but that it was his duty to turn over all such money to | himself (John.) The defendant did not deny the killing of his compan ion, but entered a plea of self-de | fense. His story of the actual , kill ing was to the effect that while near Lugoff,- whither he was walking by the special request of the deceased, since he had been informed by the ticket agent that the next train did j not stop a Lugoff and he himself [did not wish to walk, that be had [given him five or six dollars, he did i not remember exactly how much, and that Simon was to go on to the next town which he was to work and later join John- in Cheraw. The defendant testified further that his companion made demands for more money and upon his refusal the de ceased struck him in the face while they were walking on the railroad track, that several licks passed be tweenJJieni, that they went over the side of the railroad embankment a little lurther 011, that he knocked hi companion down and that the latter gaining his feet drew a pistol from his pocket with his left hand. He claims that hte succeeded in taking the pistol from Simon and that in the scuffle the deceased received a wound in hiB left arm. After he had gotten the pistol John said that Simon drew a large knife ? whereupon he backed back as far as he could and when Simon refus ed to stop coming 011 him he fired ? the wound taking effect in the neck. Ho said further that fear prompted him to nide the body of the dead unan in the nearby culvert as he thought in case he were caught he would have been killed himself. /? 11 amusing part of the trial waBm in connection with testimony broughl out by the itfa'te to the effect that John had, previous to the killing of his companion attempted to buy poison from Mr. Herman Baruch, a ? salesman at the store of Barueh-Net tles Co., and who testified to that fact. Mr. Baruch testified that the accused had come into his place of business and bad asked in broken English for some poison such that if put in water and swallowed would cause death. In refutation of this the defense brought out through the defendant himself and Sheriff Huck abee that the head and body of the defendant wero infested with vermin and attempted to prove by this that the poison was desired for this pur pose and not for the purpose of tak ing human life.

Mr. Marlon Saundwi* and a rep resentative from the factory were hero WednoHday with u glailt fire truck from the Beagrave Manufac turing Co., of Columbus, (). The truck Ih a sixty-five horse power machine of the latest type. Mem hern of city council and several cit izens were curried for a demons! ra tion run Wedneaday morning. Some of the hardest pulls in the city were selected for the test and the inacliine readily wont over all with the exception of the brow of the hill just in front of the Hotel Klrkwood,, This, however, wiih a so vere teat, as the road la not clay ed at this |K>in t and the machine be ing overloaded would not go over tho deep Hand. On fairly good roads the demonstration was perfect, and the members of council were well pleased, It Is not known If the city will buy or not, but the matter will be discusBod ftt the nexti meeting of council. The cost of the truck will be iu the neighborhood of $5,2 00 and it is supposed to pay for itself in time by doing away with the upkeep of one of the horse wagon trucka. Mr. Saunders Is an old Kershaw county boy well known In Camden, who Is now located in Greenville as representative of the Seagrave Co. He was returning from the recent tournament held at Abbeville and has been giving demonstrations in the different towns in South Caro lina. A party of young ladies were car ried for a ride Tuesday' night on the truck and enjoyed the trip Im mensely. ROUGH HOUSE ON SEABOARD. Arthur Illnson, of Camden, and another white man, an employee of the Seaboard Air Line, who was off ? a vacation ? ami ? celebrating tTTe" Fourth, were arrested by the con ductor of the afternoon Seaboard as they were retunlng from a drunk en celeratlon last Friday afternoon. The men were turned over toMayor Brastngton upon reaching Camden, and promptly locked up. Later they were removed to the county jail where a charge of disorderly con duct was chalked against them. Tho men were* cursing and raising a rough houso In the. presence of la dies. Later Hlnson was released upon furnishing a bond of $.200 for his appearance at the next term of the court of general sessions for this county. Took Knlght? Templar Degree. Messrs. W. M. Young, G. L.

Monday morning KiiiHlor Sinclair, a white moil, appeared to answer to the charge of selling whiskey in viola tion of the dispensary law. The cast* wan m&do against tho man by a city official. Sinclair plead not guilty. employed counsel to defend him and demanded a trial by Jury. We understand that the Jury stood four for convictlyn and one for ac quittal in making a mistrial The case will co mo up again before the recorder. Another case to conic nj> next Monday morning 1h that of a Mrs. Hurst for selling whiskey. Tho ar rest _ wiih made by Chief of Police Whitaker. In vjew of the fact that the grand Jury hag recommended that county authorities lie more diligent In the prosecution of thin clean of law breakers and tho recent activity of tho city official It is more tharl likely that If there is any blind ti ger liquor aold here in the future they will have to be extremely care ful. Wo are glad to note that tho officers are not only prouecuting the negro law breakers but tho whites as well. It has been known for some time that white men of con siderable means have been handling whiskey in and near Camden ahd tniH activity on the part of the po lice will cut down their salon if not 'otally put them out of bUHiness. lU'iiilHH'tM Ncavh Notes. Remberts, S. C., July 8. ? Thin Bee tion has been greatly flooded .with rains during tho last two weekH, al so the Pisgah section. Cropa have been severely damaged. Washed away on the hills, and drowned on the low lands. Cloudbursts have occurred frequently in several In stances. So the crops are not what ty-v whQMb1 hp N" fmtawi4ilo aea ? ["sous from now on can imike a full crop. Peaches are no good and water melons the same. Wlith the most encouraging view of the matter the agricultural outlook is poor. The health of this section is very good, also trade. This place is con stantly increasing its business and will cut1 largely into the nearby towns. Daniel Webster said there was always room at the top, so no one need despair but hustle to beat the other fellow. I We notice you have some trouble iter find out whether you wilj have an election for the dispensaiy or jnot. Here is our plan and it work ed to the satisfaction of all. Kv- , ery name was struck from the reg istration books that had died or moved away. The petitions were scrutinized to see that none but reg istered voters were on them, then the treasurer's books were examined to see if they had paid their taxes I in due time. This plan was contin ued until the Supervisor found that J largely over a third of legyl voters had petitioned for it. Then the j election was ordedred. Whether It will win at the polls in August re mains to be seen. Pisgah church has granted its pastor a vacation and he will spend I it * in holding meetings. He will soon go to Orangeburg to hold a meeting and then to others places. Country churches have gotten in the habit of holding their meetings in tho summer. It used to be in. ?the fall, but then times change and people with them. A ride over several sections heqr I here show that "Poo Richards" ad t vice is strictly followed by a large number of people and wherfever it is a degree of thrift is apparent. I We hear of a few marriages to take place this fall and the parties seem to be greatly elated over the coming event. The writer wishes to say how sor ry he is to see so many bright and pretty girls follow every ridiculous fashion that some fools spring on the market. The old adage that "Beauty unadorned, adorns the most," has passed away. Not long since one of the crown heads of Eu rope indicated how a hat should be shaped on top and now that hat is all the rage .over there and here too. A young lady not long since could not reach the step of a bug gy with her foot on account of the narrowness of her skirt, so the man she with had to lift her in Another was seen to drag her feet when she walked at church with a stoop over. Upon inquiry it was said to be the coming fashioj^^^ little girls twelve years onWti ing out and receiving attention as if they were grown, and little boys of like age getting drunk, cursing, smoking and the like. Where is the citizenship to come from such peo ple. Do you think you could get a J. B. Kershaw from such boys, or a Rebecca Motte from such girls? We think not. We are comanded in Holy Writ to train children right. Is it done? Is the education of today what it used to be ? deep, broad and thor ough. Can yon produce men like Judson. Carlisle," Mullins, Broadus, Palmer, Boyce, Hampton, Webster. Clay or Calhoun? If so, where a*e 'tiie>? Where are the mothers and ?fathers of the old times in rearing ! children? The press in the great bulwark of the liberties of the peo ple. When it is silent nothing is to be feared. May It measure to its fullest height ? -condemn the wrong innd uphold the right in all that per i tains to the welfare of our people.
