both in the city, and cordially

A great game but wearing on

Annual Report of County Tithh
nrer.
While we have not the pleas
ure of giving you in detail tho
annual rejx>rt of tfie County
Treasurer, we will give the grand
recapitulation of amounts dis
bursed for the fiscal year endiug
Apl. 15th as follows;
Totaj County
Disbursements 930,405.43
Hchool Disbursements
Including Incidentals 21,984.81
Interest on It. U. Bonds 0,5K).00
Grand Total 950,050.74
This report according to The
Messenger covers a period of
101 years. Pretty good for Ker
shaw County, but we think there
is a mistake somewhere.
Mr. C. E. Kelley, a brother of
Hev. J. P. Kelley, died at the
home of the latter on the 11th
ippt., of gastritis. Mr. Kelley
leaves h wife and six children.
No pro|>erty.imd no insurance.
8*4! Sad! To all who read thin
notice we say, do not delay to
tftkeout insurance. We can never
tell when the grim reaper may
out us down; so, while in health,
prepare for sickness anil death.
We regret to record the death
of Mips Grace Nicholson which
occurred in Chester on Monday.
Mtsa Nicholson wus well known
' tore.
Caii4tid?te>** Cartl?.
We still have room for cards
of announcement of one or more
Clerks of Court, three or more
Solicitors, tad for those of nu
merous candidate# for other of
fices. Come forward, gentle
tiftei*. We can look you as straight
is the eye,- and takd as little of
your money for your card as can
any editor in the county. In
addition to this equal advantage,'
our paper circulates in us many
homes as do those of our com*
petitors, with the added advan
tage to you that every word in our
paper is rettd.
National Convention.
We see our name announced
as a prominent candidate as a
delegate to the National conven
tion at St. Louis. As it happens,
we do not cxpect to get the ele
ction being a Hearst supporter,
and all the fools not being dead
yet. What we expect is a solid
Parker delegation, ' and we are
no Parker man by a long shot.
Any candidate who cannot come
out boldly and express his views
on vital questions is no candidate
of ours, although as a loyal Dem
ocrat we will sup]K>rt any ticket
nomiuated. . Nominate Parker
however, and the ticket is al
ready defeated .
Take Notice.
In our remarks in this issue
concerning the two dispensaries,
we want to say that we liavo no
intention of reflecting upon the
gentlemen conducting them.
Both obey orders. If Capt. Bt?ll
was ordered to inform Ina pa
trons that the only place they
could drink %their beer was on
the platform ot the Opera House
steeple he would have to tell
them so. It is true, he would not
sell any beer, but that silly /ten
order is going to largely curtail
the sale of it anyhow. ?
If. Mr. Latig was notified to
discontinue the useof the request
book, he can obey, or not. If he
olxy*, the sales at. the dispensa
ry will be increased. If he does
not. he will simply be obeyiug
the law, aud should be com
mended, as 1he law should be
higher than an order from auy
petty official.
Unwarranted Aspersion.
? It has been suggested to us
that no matter which way the
vote for i5r against the Court
House proposition is cast, the
majority vote will be declared in
favor of the Court House. This
we consider to be an unwar
ranted aspersion on the charac
ters of the managers selected to
conduct the election. Naturally,
the largest part of the vote that
will be cast in favor of the pro
position will be at the Camden
box, and we sincerely hope, and
believe, that 110 one in his pro
per senses will for a moment
suspect such men as J. B. Ar
rants, W. J. Jones and E. .1. Bis
sell, the managers of election,
to be guilty of such a nefarious
act as is implied in the sugges
tion mentioned.- Ng^we are go
ing to have a fair election, the
votes fairly counted, and the
Court House scheme knocked
into smithereens.
Indication of Eheiirzcr Church.
The dedication of Ebenezer
Church came off on Sunday, aud
was largely attended, at least xi
hundred persous not. being able
to obtain seats. The new church
is a handsome editice and does
credit to the builders. Rev. J.
S. Beasley, P. E. assisted by the
pastor of the church, Rev. Dukes
couducted the dedication exer
cises which were solemn itnd im
pressive.
Among the visitors present
were.
Messrs. J. S. Trantliam,
D. P. Dixon,
D. M. McCaskill,. . .
R li. Williams,
.7. M. Malts,
W. F. Russell and one other
whose name we failed to ;r<*t,
Candidates for Ollice,
G. S. Higgins,
Willie DePass,
Duncan Lang, and
Andrew W'lii taker,
Candidates for Matrimony,
Aud E. J. Lewis, just one of the
folks, and others.
Advert iMcmrntH.
It is customary in small cities
for the various newspaper pub
lishers to divide on county and
city advertising, but we note
that the Messenger lias publish
ed the annual report of the Coun
ty Treasurer, with not a word
said to us about i*. We luive
ascertained further that The
Chronicle is to got one half of
the sixty dollars allowed by law
for the publication of the report
We are told that we are <i little ton
Irtlr in pelting into the deal al
though our paper appears a day
sooner than does the Chronicle.
This will notify all advertisers
that we will insert any ad. that
bears a profit twenty per cent
under any competitor. We do
not like to cut rates but in a
Kanie of freeze out we expect to
be in at the finish.
Our paper is read and enjoyed
in as many homes in the County
and city as that of either of our
contemporaries ami trrrij vonl in
if in r*a<). The ads. should fol
low the readers, ?so remember,
tire a hi i?rr rait under any competi
tor ii' the ad bears a profit.

PERSONAL
Mrs. D. M. Alexander and
child have returned to Camden
after a pleasure trip to Norfolk,
Ya..
Mr. EL E. Rembert was in the
xnty a few hours last wtsck. He
appeared to be in his usual state
of roseate health, and. brags on
The People.
Mr. J. W. Hightower, of Cin
cinnati, O., was here a day or so
last week. Mr. Hightower is one<
of the crack clay and live pigeon
shots of the country.
Judge EL D. Blakeney, of Ker
shaw, spent Saturday in t\ie city
on legal business. Mr. Blakeney
is a hard worker and always
faithful to the interests of his
clients.
Mr. Mehtui of the Carolina
Citizen (Cheraw) was with the
base-ball team on Mouday and
paid us a pleasaut call. The
Citizen is one of our most valued
exchanges.
Rev. F. E. Boozer and family
are spending a few days in the
city with relatives and friends,
after an absence of several years
Brother Boozer is now stationed
at Gaffney, S. C.
The genial laugh of our old
friend, ?!apt. J. I. Villepigue, is
again heurd on the streets, he
having returned from a pleasant
visit to his daughter, Mrs. C. M.
Fur uiii n, at Clemson College.
. An old chum of ours, Mr J. F.
Jeffrey, representing the lirm of
Beck & Gregg, of Atlanta, was
with us on Thursday. Jeff, is a
capita* fellow. We only charge
him a good j>ocket knife for say
ing so. Looked for by next
mail.
While on the hunt for news on
Saturday we struck that popular
broker, Mr. Wiley Sheorn, and
after a clos?? cross examination,
found that he did not know a
blessed thing. Blissful ignor
ance! Ditto as to Dave Hayes,
of West Wateree.
9
Messrs. S. W. Heath and Jno.
T. Stevens, of Kershaw, were
with us on Saturday. We regret
that we did not meet them, but
no doubt they were on business
and not pleasure bent, so had no
time ?o give us in the way of
warming the cockles of their
hearts. ]
Mr. W. F. Gantt. (Larry) a
popular tobacco salesman, of
Reidsville, N. C. was in tl^e city
on Monday. He left us impress
ed with the profound necessity of
talcing out a' life insurance policy
iu the shape of a years subscrip
tion to The People, but did not
do it. Fortune knocks bat once at
every door. &c, &c, so if you
hear of Gantt being eaten up by
a blind tiger Within the next
twelve months, do not blame us.
In explanation, we will say that
Mr. G. is a White Ribboner.
Sam mid Jake.
Saturday was a rushing (lay
at the beer dispensary, aud it
was there thut Jake, wiping his
mouth on a last year's bandana,
met Sam.
After the usual cordial greet
ing, ho said to Sam:' "I say,
Sam, dey is sumting curus
'bout de way dey am runnin' dat

back iu a little wire place to

me, Sam. I 'so a niggah", I know,
but I'se got rights an' I aint

"Dut's alrite, Jake, of de white

"Dat's zactly wha' I guine do. |

??Wha' I tell yu, Sam? Cap'n
Schrock say dat I is 'zackly rite
'bout dat beer business. He say
dat de niggah doant have ter

"1 k no wed dat Cap'n Hehrock

"I reckin yon's rite, Sam, 'cos
whateber Cap'n SchrocK say, I

Beauty unadorned is adorned
the most. Camden with her
trees, flower-gardens, vegetable
gardens and fruit orchards is
adorned indeed. .
Read "D's." letter in this i*sue,
you folks who are miffed because
of our stand on certain subjects,
and got over your huffiuc**. it
is a very poor specimen of man
hood who cannot agree to dis

??The City Beautiful!" What
is beingdoue to make it more so?
A ? culvert is badly needed in
place of that old bridge in front
of the Camden Hotel. About one
hundred dollars of that surplus
ought to do the work, aud it will
be money well spent.
Mary a word said in season is
heard in reason, so we sinceiVly
hope that the few we have been
permitted to make may be as
seed sown on fertile soil that will
germiuate aud bring forth an
abundant harvest. This remark
does not particularly refer to the
court house but to other matters
as well.
Wo want somebody with more
gray matter than he needs to
lend it to us in order that we can
stand the strain of next next
week's issue. Do not all speak
at once as we are a little partic
ular as to the quality of matter
wanted. We think a certaiu
minister in the city cau provide
the needful.
Tin* White Knight forever. Call for
no other cigar. For salt* at the Cam

A court house on the Main
street and in the heart of the
business portion or quarter of
the city would prove an unmiti
gated nuisance. Risk no weak
points but vote against the pro
position until sugii time as the
legislature has had the opportu
nity to amendthe present act,
and provides for a dofini*? site.
The Wliif? Knight; . no *nioke to

We have heard it stated that
some doctor says eleven office
holders have lost their lives be
cause of Having been compelled
to have their office in the base
ment of the old court house.
This is sheor nonsense and will
not be taken except as a ghastly
joke by anyone. We again refer
you to an editorial iu The Peo
ple of last week.
Have you ever been 111 the p.m?

Wo arc limiting the building
of a uew coirrt house. Yes, wo
are ? not. What wo arc lighting
is the uncertainty a* to tlio .se
lection of the site on which the
new court house will be erected.
Head and re-read our editorial
on the subject in The People of
last week, and then do not say
again that we i're opposed to a
new court house.
The new bank building under
the vigilant supervision of Mr.
CJ randy is rapidly approaching
completion. When finished it
will be a source of pride to all
of our citizens if the plans are
carried out as exhibititod.
We are somewhat strenuous
this week, but we think the oc
casion requires it. Let us hope
that nevt week we will be more
mild and iu every issue thereaf
ter. We need the services of
that preacher. Let him come
forward. We will give bun a
free hand while we go tishing.
We have met with almost un
animity of opinion among the
voters as to the projier site for a
new court house, but several
have said that they intend to
vote for it anyhow on general
principles. NVe cannot see it
that way. If the time of the
court is wasted in the transpor
tation of prisoners from the jail
to the present court house then
give us positive assurance that
the new one will bo built on its
proper site.
We want to bo purtecily frank
with all our readers, and when
ever oar views come in contact
with yours, the columns of The
People are always open to yon
for reply. An editor Is only a
man like yourselves, and if he is
not roan enough to allow both
sides of a question of public in
terest to show in his . paper, he
is not the right sort of a man to
edit' a newspaper.

Street Prcnctilujr.
Camden is beiug treated to a
series of street meetings by a
trio of Holiness or Adventist
preachers, but if there is any
truth in the gospel they preach,
we cannot see it They pretend
to preach Jesus Christ and take
all their texts from the OJ<l Tes
tament, a practicality sealed book
to modern Christiuns. They al
so inveigh against all churches,
ecclesiastical, fraternal und po
litical organizations, denominat
ing them as the mark of the
beast. Baptism too, is tabooed
by them, they saying that the
true intent ot the word is the
baptism of the Spirit. From ap
pearances a little water proper
ly applied and rubbed in, might
convert them from the evil of
their ways. We would not have
wasted this space on these fel
lows, but lacked just about that
mvtch to fill in.
