Military Innpjrtion. As Gen. Frost could not be| here, Col. Henry Thompson in spected our military company on last Thursday, and pronounced it one of, if not the, best drilled companies in South Carolina. This makes us feel good, but was | no more than was to be ex pected with Sid Zemp as the| Captain of the company. To Brother 13d (tor*. A large majority of newspa- , p&s with which we exchungej are edited by gentlemen, und we want to astc them as a speciul favor, when criticising or com-] mending any of our editorial comments, to publish the article | criticised, or commended, in full. Those exchanges that are not | edited by gentlemen are not in cluded in this request Not Plilcgiuntlc. The editor of ."The People" is not noted for his phlegmatic temperament, so if our readers note anything peculiarly caustic in this issue, we hope tliat they will excuse it. We flattter our selves somewhat on our polite ness, but strong provocation culls for a strong retort, and we | do not lay down our pen or any thing else when we believe that| we have received the insult di rect, as the State gave it to us | last week. Clarke's Mi tint rein. We attended the performance by the Clarke Female Minstrels on the night of April 7th, and may ray that wc saw very little that any one of refined taste co'ikl object to. Naturally, be ing an entertainment for men only, the words of the sougs ren dered were rather broud, and! the attire of the hulie * somewhat scan', but as the generality of | the audience could not distin guish the words of the one ow ing to the sharp cadence of the | singers, and those who liked could close their eyes to the other feature, wo reached the conclusion that, taken ull in all, the company gave us a very creditable minstrel show. An Apology. We will have to ask the pardon of our country subscribers for) the delay in sending out "The People" last week. In the first place our paoer was delayed in transit. In the second, our pressman failed to show upl on time, and in the third, one of! our contemporaries (not The | Messenger) declined to ullow us the use of his press, ul though we offered to furnish competent service, and to pay for the use of it. We sincerely hope that this mishap will not occur again, but if it <)oes, our subscribers must uttribute it to a butt- headed ne gro pressman, or to the disin clination of a contemporary to help a brother out of trouble. TWo Homicide*. We regret to have to chronicle | the death of Mr. McRue Whitu leer at Boykins on Saturday night. He was killed by Mr. J. E. Gillis in a dispute about a for est tire. We have no comments to make on the affair at present as the actual circumstances have not been ascertained by us. Both tho parties and their families are warm friends of ours, so we do not care to do injustice to the living nor to the memory of the dead by comments that might not be appropriate. We, how ever, extend heartfelt sympathy to the entire family connection of the deceased. Isaac Thorn, a well known c ?lored mnn of this vicinity, was s.not ai d killed by Mr. J. M. Cameron, a section master on the 8. A. L#. at Sheppards, on Sunday. We have not endeav . ored to learn tho circumstances, for as previously stated we will have in our paper as short re cord of crime as is consistunt with news giving. We may remark, however, that Messrs. Gillis and Cameron are 1 1 jail, both having voluntarily surrendered to the sheriff. ?j''. Tmi It4*w*l?

Fill up the l>itcli. Why is that old ditch jast in front of Dr. DeSaussure's pro perty allowed to remain open? It will not take much of that $3,000 that the ol^ Council will leave in the hands of the new to put in a proper sized terra cotta pipe, and fill it up. We mean the ditch, of course, and not the pipe. This matter has been too long neglected. Make the city beautiful. It cannot be done unless the new or succeed ing Council take up just such matters as this and adjust them. Attention, City Council. before the weather gets too hot, Council should have the big ditch through the upper part of town thoroughly cleaned and made deeper at the lower end. Also, that frog pond at the west end of Laurens street, next to the S. A L. R. R., should be thouroughly Grained, so as to prevent any water from accumu lating there in future. As it is bow it is a perfect pest hole ? a breeding place for mosquitoes and disease, and a menace to the health and comfort of all the residents of that neighborhood. Remedy the evil before the hot weather comes on. Camp lti('hai*<i ivlrklnml Met at Oj>era House at. 12 o' clock m., April U, 11KM, Vice Commander E. E. Sill in the chair.

Mr. and Mrs. Walbridge and Miss Walbridge, of Brooklyn, re turn home on Saturday. We had a call on Saturday i from the representavive of Ring- i ham Bros.

We have certainly had enough wind recently to make even an old sailor happy. "The good old summer time" I is here ? at least, it feels like it now, and we hope it has come to stay, too. When that new 300 room l?otel is erected, won't we be there? We understand that it is a cer tainty now. The tocsin ? Beware of corpor ate ownership of enterprises directly effecting the interests of the city. The White Knight forever. Cull for I no other cigar. For Hale at the Cam- | den I>mg Company . Note Mr. Bartlett's article in this issue. He knows a good thing when he sees it and don't mind saying so. The Historical Association met on Muesday niirlit at the High School building, Mr. Trantham giving a fine lecture. Municipal ownership of water, light, telephone, and the trolley line is the next thing in order. Why not? We can stand it. Where is our Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Dumb Animals? There are cases here that certainly need their atten tion. The White Knight Cigar i* ftfrietly a Drst-cla** amoke. For unle at the Cam den l>rng Conipnn v. Call for them. The sidewalks recently put, up by the street hands across Mon ument Square are a great im provement to that portion ot the town. Mr. O. L.

Some fellows have apparently been in training for it all winter, so that even now they can astonish the uatives. We think the law allows the annulltnent of any franchise granted b,y the city to any cor poration that does not comply strictly with the terms of its franchise. Send in your reports of births, deaths, marriages, skin-cutting, house burning, new arrivals, im provements to property, or any thing else of interest. We want the news. White Knight rignr, a splendid ?moke, call for them at the Camden Drug Company, nnd take no other. An advertisement in "The People" pays. Ask any of our people, you merchants who haven't tried it and then climb into the band wagon. This is not' a boast but a fact. Now, since our northern tour ists have nearly all left us, pos sibly the average citizen may again know what it is to have fried chicken and eggs on his table occasionally. What is the matter with "The People?" If its editor is a cor ruptionist, it seems strange that his editorials and other matter should be so widely copied and quoted by his exchanges. We want each and every one , of our subscribers and readers to note carofully our remarks of last week on the lien law. It is now more than ever a menace* to our progress, and should bo re pealed. The boys around Camden who have been in Mie habit of robbing birds nests would do well to hold up on such business in the fu ture, as the penalty is too severe now, and the law officers are in tending to keep a sharp lookout for tho law breaker?, Doa't for** to mil on D.

Wo are pleased to note the de crease in the number of small boys on the streets at unseason able hours at night. We have never seen, a good aud useful cit ison raised out of a boy that was allowed to roam at will at night. Ask for the Whit* Knight, the br*t ?moke on the market. For sale by the Camden Drug Company. If any one could find fault with the beauty of Camden and its Rurrounriings during the past few weeks, we do not believe he could be pleased anywhere, and ft quiet little grave in the ceme tery would be the most suitable resting place tor "such an indi vidual. The marriage burean appears to have been doing a good busi ness in this vicinity recently, ftnu, if are to judge fromappear ftnces, the prospect U bright for a continuance. The girls of our town and county are too charm ing tor resistance, and the boys soon surrender. We are pleased to learn by wire that our friend, Mr. Vernon Crump arrived safely at his home in Portsmouth, Va. Unless he outran the train, we think he met i a copy of "The People" at his door as we sent one of them immediately behind him some what us a tracer. Our new correspondant at Kalb has our thanks. His letter should have gone in last week but with other good matter, was crowded out.

For sale at the Cam Hen Drug Company. Try them, am) lie convinced. Still our people are not happy. They now want a sixteen page paper. Well, friends, you shall have it if you get us up a large enough subscription list. Don't be afraid to ask your neighbor to subscribe, for if you show them this or last, week's "Peo ple" it is all right. Get our prices on advertising and job printing before .placing your order elsewhere. "Tjie Peo ple'* is now the most widely read paper puMished in the county, anc that is usually what the ad vertiser wants, while our job de partment is most complete and conducted by an expert. Rev. A. B. Earle's sermon to the soldiers was heard by a large and interested audience and was well worth the hearing. Now let him give the Masons one of the same description. We will warrant that it will he even more interesting as Mr. Earle is an enthusiastic ana a bright Mason. The new council took charge on Monday last.

As an advance notice, we want to say that John Singleton is the prettiest one in the bunch, but we do not want fhe ladies to pay any attention to that as John is not at present a marrving man.
