W. 4 SCHROCK, ootv THE LATT8 1>BLAY. 'V-Wk note in tfie,go^mWa.Rew$#j the 21st, the statement thai there were a number of cH'U eases on the 1 Richland eobrit^ dtmket which Jiad beea continued from court ' to eoSrt daring Vbenly-fltt or iIhrrttf terms This is a remarka ble condition of 'affairs* Twen ?ty-flve terms means more then ,qight years. and thirty, ten years. Place yourself in the position fit these litigants. Figure on the1 Inconvenience to which you have been placed 4uring the weary years of waiting. Estimate for yourself and .others the griping imngs of poverty that have been ^ftufferec by Jparty households be* cause of these many contin uances, and then lament with us, pt "The (Law's Delay." This is not t-he first time that we have called attention ,to this ^ymg jevil, nor-do >ve suppose it will be the last if x?re^ent conditions ^endure. What we wanted call par ticular attention to is, the con dition of our own civil docket. 4. I ? 4 ? ? i ?' ? ?

MOT S^MSIJTj. people here think that it ip jiO\f here and so it fia. When we ^lote the .tremendous death re tcoixlof four days aloue in tlie city of New York and the nuui fat prostrations from heat, we ^can almost imagine ourselves en joying moderate spring weather. New York ,^l.ty had 175 deaths find ?ore tjlian 4?0 prostrations (popp heat irom Monday till ?Thursday of last week, and the ^mortality and prostrations in several cities in tl^e northern ^states are almost .proportionate. Wp have heard of joone in the ? .south. It seems tq iva that some Could be devised by means /of wj^icli as many as possible of those whose work js in the sun, could be transported ipto the ^untry at night during the jheated term. T^e^xpense would not be great, and iho workmen twou.ld return to their work every .morning refreshed, and not stewed almost to death by a flight in a crowded tenement house. The various relief com ,miUeqs are said to be doing .great Work among the women jund children but the men whose hands are assisting to make New York greater and more .beautiful vlso deserve some con sideration.

Crops lmvo Improved considerably since the rams, especially cotton, which looks very promising now but may uot turn out a full crop with the best weather condition from now on. Some of our' farmers have a long staple variety planted which it is claimed brings a much higher pi ice than the short staple, but the gathering ond marketing cost more ii? propor tion. The fruit crop is rather slim with plenty of worms with few exceptions. Chickens, eggs and water melons are also scarce, and the high ^rice ftsked and paid for them is more proof that it would pay the right man to establish a poultry yard and truck farm somewhere near Camden. We regrot to report the severe illness of three of Mr. Jas.

Tlic Opera Kriitor Graphically Inscribes tlie "Movements** of a Prize Kiviit. Owing to a severe condition of shorthandcduess on the staff, re lates tlio Detroit Free Press, the music editor was sent to cover a prize fight, with the following result: "An entertainment of unusual novelty attracted a largo mascu line audience at the armory last night. The chief liumbcrou the programme consisted of a duet between two well-known urtists and the work was divided into ten short movements Hoth of the chief artists of the evening were becomingly at tired "in a novel and stnkiug costume consisting of something like abbreviated bathing suits, shoes and heavy stockings. The first movement started about audantino, but went sempre accelerando to a molto vivace at the end. There was some rapid staccato work on the part of each performer throughout the movement and when a large gong rang at the end of a short interval, both walked to a corner of t he roped in platform. At the beginning of the sceond movement, there was a strong tendency to pianis simo work and the soft pedal was used with much effect on both sides. Shortly before the end of this movement, one of the artists was carried away with excitement and struck the other, sforzando, con due pedale e molto piu vivace. The compliment was returned, con amore, aud both subsided again as the gong rang. At the openiut; of the third movement the original theme was resumed and was treated with great freedom throughout. The straight-arm motif was in troduced, molto piacevole, and the rendition became ?o fast and furious as to hinder accurate ob* servatiou. The composition sud jdenly assumed the characteris tics of the unfinished symphony, one performer being overcome by his emotion and failing to con tinue. The applause was furi ous for the other artist, who was made the recipient of the most frenzied demonstrations from the audience. The composer of the unfinished composition is re perted to have been the late marquis of Queensbury, little known as h musical writer." Dreadful Acclilont. AtTimrocl iti upper Korsluiw, last Thursday evening during a severe storm of thunder and light ning, Mj;. (Jillam Hortoti, a negro who was with him, and a mule were struck by lightning and instantly killed. We regret this occurrence ex ceedingly. Gillatn Ilorton was all of a man and our good friend.

R, or address Clias. U. Gattis, S. P.A., ' * ftaloigh, N. C. Court Pr^wcdlupu Court of General Sessions for Kershaw County was convened bere last Monday. Judge Er nest Gary, the resident Judge of this circuit is presiding. This is the- largest summer Court this county has had in a decade of years, usually the majority of the cases may be] summarized into inconsequential offenses, but this term shows sev eral murder casesv arson cases, rape bigamy, burglary, ? &c. Felony cases predominating. Two weeks are allowed at this term, and the business of the Courts will liKely be divided' so ns to devotefall of the first week to criminal cases and the second week to civil suits. Four cases for trial by jury have been dis posed of up to going to press. Calvin Kelley was convicted of carrying a pistol of unlawful SI ze. Abraham Sumter was indicted by Ammond Collins for taking a horse from the' stable and us ing same without Consent of the owner. The evidence showed that the horse was not carried from the stable of Collins with* out consent, but the animal was kept longer thau the time it was hired for, but this did not consti tute an otTcnse under the Stat ute so the Judge directed a ver dict, of not guilty. Augustus Izlar, a coal black negro was convicted of bigamy, the proof showing conclusively that Izlar on Sunday night the 9th of April, was married to Mattie McOluster, a girl several shades lighter than Izlar, and ou the following Monday night he went across the river and was married to Lillie Harris, another very bright mulatto girl about 20 years ot'.age. As a result, of his trial he will learn that a plu rality of wives will not be al lowed in this state. He was sentenced to pay a tine of ?100 and to serve on the chain gang for one year. Hannah ltrown, charged with arson was acquitted. Slio was unable to employ counsel to do fend her, so at the hist term of Court, Mr. L. T. Mills of the Camden bar was appointed by the court to conduct her defence. | lie presented the case so ably to the jury that in the face of odds agaiust him he secured her ac quittal. This was Mr. Mills' first effort since his admission to the bar and his future as a successful advocate is assured. The Gillis case has again been continued 011 motion of defen dant V counsel. This time con tinuance was secured on the ground of the absence of a ma terial witness. The Solicitor did not oppose the continuation, and as the State could not admit what was submitted as a state ment of what the absent witness would testify if present, the case goes over until the next term of Court. Our Melon Contest. Our melon contest on last Saturday was close mid exciting. It was a feast for the eyes when, at 12.80 sharp, the coverings were removed from the exhibits, and row after row of big, juicy melons were exposed to the eager gaze of the spectators. It was a hard job for th'e judges to make a selection when all were so fine. There was repre sented the rattlesnake, the New Brunswick, the Georgia Buck, Kalb Gem, Smoke's Choice, Ches ter White, and may-bo o*ie or two other varieties. After a long consultation, the judges attached the blue ribbon to a Kalb Gotn. This decision was not so much on account of its size as its good looks. It only weighed fifty pounds. A com parison of the number (!J7) with that held by Mr. A. B. Young of DeKalb, proved him to be the winner. Wo ha<J an idea that if he didn't win, he would push the winner. Adam is great on watermelons?and col lards. N. I).?On counting up the melons in the exhibit, we found the tremeudous number of tiro. For Sale.
