Cotton Is doing very well, hut corn immmIs a soaker, and un less we get It this ww;k the crop will lie short Homo sections have had Hue ruins and in others only showers. It In the time of year when every thing 1m dull 1A the trade line, hut soon every thing will liven up us fall is near, and we will forget the dullness of the summer, Ah a whole the coun try 1h in a much better condition than It used to Ih\ Good men have no trou ble In Kitting all the money they want for their business for they pay their debt* Thin 1h the backbone in all buftinees ami the man who dead Inputs now will soon boat out of credit, friends, resi>ect and everything else ex cept a? a worthless character, Thin pai>er Ik educational In all lines. Such 1m the p\ir|>ort of Its proprietor, otherwise It could not lay claim to a flint class journal. More now, than ev er, ahoiild a Arm stand be taken against the evils that exlHt In state, society, and church. Religiously, people are not aH good as they used to be. The time honored family worship is a thing of the pant, and there 1h more formality than UHod to be. There 1m more money raised for benevolent purines; more hired help ; Ichh itersonu) work in church llneH by the in ember 8 hip at large, and leMM enthualaHin. In society the girls are following llneH in many ways that will make their future Uvea burdensome. A number of them don't have any ambition to be flue house keepers, hut only entertainers. The writer not long ago ate a meal pre pared by a young lady that wa? as near i>erfect as possible and she was not a Wlnthrop girl, either. In the parlor the same i>erfectlon existed. Now this Is what makes life pleasant all around. Imagine an Industrious man married to a know-nothing woman and you can readily see what sort of life will be led. In Htate, we have degenerated in our po litical meetings to a howling, mud slinging crowd and education only in things for the worse. This is no over drawn picture for the high standard of manhood as set and practiced by the fathers is a thing of the past in large 'measures. So Mr. Editor, the ban should fall with no uncertain sound, or in -a few years we will live to see the best country under God's heaven drift into channels like Mexico ? a disgrace to civilization. Mrs. T. B. Walker, of Columbia, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. S. h. Young. Misses Annie Keels of this place, and Lou Ferguson, of I ..aureus, will teach the Rembert school next term. Both are fine teachers and have taught here before. . 6 Rural Police Recommended. The County Board of Commissioners met Monday last and In view of peti tions presented to them by the free holders of three townshliw, will recom mend to the Governor that the follow ing men be appointed as rural police men In Kershaw county: W. T. Blackmon, DeKalb Township. E. H. Clements, Flat Rock Township. Jake Lee, West Wateree Township. The duties of rural police have al ready been outlined in these columns a few weeks ago ? that of patrollng the rural sections, giving the country peo ple the same protection in a smaller way as do the policemen in a city. It has not been definitely decided when these men will go to wo*k, should the Governor make the appointments. Bill rfaff's Darkey Story. Bill Pfaff, the sage of New Orleans, tells a darkey story. It Is about a Thanksgiving dinner at which the ne gro minister was the guest of honor. A goose was the piece de resistance and the parson could not restrain his enthusiasm over the quality of the bird. "Dat's as tine a goose as I evah see, Bruddah Williams." he said, to his host. "Whah did you git such a fine goose?" * "Well, now, Pahson," replied the carver of the goose, exhibiting great dignity and recticence, "when you preaches a speshul good sermon I nev er axes you wliar you got it. I hope you will show me the same considera tion." ? Printing Trade News, Having Big Time in Columbus. The Ohio State Journal, of Colum bus, O., in its sporting page of July 12, printed a large picture of "Benny* Smith, of Camden, who left here soon after school closing to visit his uncle, Sidney Smith, who Is catcher for the Columbus team. In a letter, he says he Is having a big tlmev, especially when the team is at home. Under his picture the State Journal says: "Camden, South Carolina, Is the home of young Smith, who is spending the summer in Columbus with his un cl6 Syd. His father Is a candidate for the governorship of his state and has splendid chances for success. Ben, so the Senators say, Is going to )>e a great catcher, like his distinguished uncle. He i can warm up any pltclior on the squad and has a dally task on his hands. There's no pessimism In the youngster's make-up and he's confident that the Columbus team is going to finish well up." Dr. Haile Not Guilty. Rock Hill, July 15? Dr. J. E. W. Ilalle, widely known as a physician in this city for a numl?er of years was cleared of the charge of mal-practlce In York court, at Yorkvllle, today. Af ter hearing the evidence and after due deliberation the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." The verdict is a source of great gratification to the friends of Dr. Halle. * AUTOS BY EXPRESS. Thr?? Now Model Hudson's in Special Car. Tluvo Iblfi modid Hudson <M0 au tomobile*, two phaetons and a road ster, arrived in the city this morning, coining by the Southern Kxprenn Co., from the factory ut Detroit for the state <llHtrit>utorH, the Black Frasler <!'o. A door at one end of tbe oar wan raised and the automobiles rolled on to the platform. ? The removal of the automoblleH from the si>eclal ear that they completely filled was it work of a few minutes, and the engines were throbbing a brief tluxe afterwards. The automobllen came assembled and after having their tanks tilled with gasoline proceeded under their own power to the salesrooms. Two earn have been Hhlp|>ed to Hartsvllle und four to Charleston di C<K)t from the factory lu the purchas ers; but the orders were placed with the local Agency. The members of the firm are Hated over the artistic lines of the new model, the substantial and graceful chassis and the brllllaut tin Ish. It was an early showing of the 1015 car and they attracted considera ble attention as they were whirled through the, streets on 5 their way to the salesrooms, banners on each side proclaiming the arrlvul of the Latest things from the Hudson plant. ? Mon day's Columbia Record. One of the cars was driven Imme diately to Camden and Is now at the Camdert Motor Co's place of business where It has been admired |>y many. MEETING YESTERDAY. Candidates For Congress Ad dressed Small Crowd. Candidates for Congress from the Fifth District addressed a small crowd of voters at the court house here yes terday. There was not more than fifty people present and they gave the shak ers close attention. lion. W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, was the first speaker who began by tell ing of his legislative experience cover ing a i>eriod of eleven years, that dur ing that time he had l?een on some of the most Important committees of that hotly, and that there were very few jaws on the statute hooks of recent years hut what he hail had something to do with. Mr. Stevenson promises If elected to give the Fifth District a "look In." He Is opposed to such enor mous expenditures 011 rivers and liar hoi's and thinks the money thus si>ent should go to maintaining the highways. He indulged in some mild attacks oil the present congressman. Hon. D. E. Finley, of York, also re lated his' legislative experience, told of the work he had done in furthering the rural delivery system ; of the impor tant committees upon which he had served and said that he was the oldest represesentatlve in point of service In the national house today. He replied to his opponent's statement that his speech appeared in the Congressional Record several days after It was sup I>osed to have been made and that it was never delivered. Mr. Finley said the time allowed each speaker was on ly about five minutes and that it was impossible for him, Ilka many others, to deliver it in that time. He told of how long It would take a new man to be of any service in Washington, and asked that the voters send him back, that his hands were clean, and that he had done his duty. Mr. Stevenson asked for a few min utes to reply and said that what his opponent stated about a new man, re minded him of a conversation he heard between a Finley supporter and a Stevenson man. The Finley man said that he would not vote for Stevenson because it would take him too long to learn "the ropes." The reply was that "if Stevenson Is eleeted he will carry the 'ropes' with him.". The Chesterfield man asked that he be given a chance for we are neighbors. "I am not only your neighbor, but kin to all of you," was Mr. Finley's reply and the meeting adjourned.

Collision on Seaboard and Sou ? them Interrupts Traffic. A Wavy Seaboard freight pulled by two eiiglues crashed into a Northbound Southern freight early Friday morning at ftpalding Junction just north of Camden. The Seaboard engines were badly damaged ami neither engineers or firemen were hurt, they jumping in time to save themselves. Two gon dolas loaded with ellnkers were smash ed on the Southern and Conductor C. A. Fonts of Camden seriously bruised. The Southern crew stopped their en gines ls?fore proceeding at the junction and the train consisting of live ears and engine were about iftldway of the junction when the huge Seaboard en glues crashed into It. Both of the large engines 821 and 827 were badly damaged. The front engine In charge of enKiueman Taut was the worst in jured of the two. Both engines were jerks*' around by ^.t he force of the col lision' and' headed in a northerly di rection. Orily one of the fifty cars 'loaded with lumber and watermelons left the track. j" Wrecking crews with derricks arriv ed from Hamlet and Columbia soon after and late that afternoon the wreck had been cleared and the track repair ed so that trafllc could be resumed. Transfers were made by both South ern and Seaboard local trains at the junction but the through trains over the Seaboard had to be detoured by way of Sumter and Hartsville. Engineers of the Seaboard stated that they used every effort to bring the strain to a atop, but being on a downgrade the breaks refused to work and seeing* a collision could not be avoided they jumped. All day Friday large crowds {rom Camden went out to view the big wreck and watch the wrecking crew place the engines on the track. Quite a number of kodaks were In evidence and many got views of the engines as they were toppled over. Conductor Fouts resides on Lyttleton Street with his family, and recently moved to this city from Charleston. He was carried to the Camden hospital and his wounds were found to be only severe bruises about the head. No one else was hurt In the collision. Mr. W. A. Ciyburn Dead. Bethune, July 15. ? William A Ciy burn, a prominent citizen of this town and a Confederate veteran, died at his home here this morning at S :40 o'clock, after a protracted illness. Mr. Ciy burn was 76 years of age and leaves a wife and six children, two daugh ters and four sons. The funeral ser vices were held at Bethune this after noon at 5 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. O. N? Itountree, his pastor. The Storm in York. Mr. J. L. Guy returned Friday after noon from a visit to his mother at Chester. He came by way of Yorkville through the hall stricken district and says no one can Imagine the havoc wrought unless they have seen the bare lands. Mr. Guy says that where be fore the storm stood as fine fields of cotton as could be found anywhere ? nothing but the stem of the stalks re main. At one place a farmer was caught in the half and In protecting his head his arms were painfully In jured by the huge hall stones. The Yorkvlle Enquirer of last Friday estimates the daiflage as follow*. "The storm area embraces close to 50,000 acres ? certainly not less than that. It Is fair to estimate that at least half of this area was in crops, and that, would mean 25,000 acres. At least half of the 25,000 acres must have been in cotton and that would mean 12, 500 acres. The cotton In that particu lar section never Averaged less than half a bale to the acre, and that would mean a shortage of at least 0,000 bales In the county's cotton crop this year. That alone would mean a shortage of close to $400,000 In the county's In come this year. And we are satisfied that all the way through our estimates are under rather than over the actual figures."

The only effect of their denun ciations will be to dissatisfy the voters to the extent that many may not sign the club rolls, and would thereby lose their votes. We advise everybody to pay no attention to the vaporings of Blease and Richards, but to qualify themselves to vote and that without delay. ? I^ancaster News. Hon. D. K. Finley For Re-Eleetion.
