The Commercial Convention which con-
yenes ] n our ETY. tomorrow has beer the
principal subject of conversation during
The past week and many and various have
been the questions asked in regard toit.
We regret to say thai We have some fossils
in our midst who can see any benefit 10
be derived from such a meeting, and sofar,
they have, by a lack of interest or down
right apathy, thrown cold water upon the
movement froT&Ihe first. We have reason
to be thankful that those who act in this
manner are few, and that we have among
us live business men-me who feel and
realize that gooSseeured to any part of our
country is a benefit to all, and that the
questions which will come up before the
Convention, though they may not be
worked out in a day, a month or a year,
will yet receive such animpetus that many
of those who now can see nothing good in
the affair may vet live to reap some of the
results.
Money matters during the week have
been quiet. City Scrip has taken a
sudden start upward, owing TO the dis
covery that there was none upon the
market, except what was held by specu-
lators. These parties, who are few in
number might as well have realized Soc six
months ago as to-day and now might as
well get SOC AZ Sc. DeGlers are anxious to
buy at anything under the latter figure.

County Warrants are dull with only a

lighter from taxpayers.

Money is easy. All No. Ishort paper is

m- THE SHIVERING SEASON.-1T
Is impossible to suppose that any human being
can consider an attack Of Fever and Aguc light
visitation. And yet thousands act as if such
calamity was OF no consequence, while thousands
who are actually suffering from the distressing
complaint neglect to adopt the certain means OF
cure. 1t ought to be known in every locality SUBJ
icct to this scourge, or which is infested with re-
mittent fever, or any other epidemic produced by
malaria that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
taken in advance or at the commencement OF the
unhealthy season, will fortify the system against
the atmospheric poison which generates these
dstempers. This admirable invigorant-harm-
less, agreeable, and possessing rarer medicinal
virtues than any other tonic at present KNOWN
will break up the paroxysms OF intermittent or
remittent fever in from forty-eight hours to ten
days. Such is the universal testimony from dis
tricts where periodical fevers have been combat
ted with this powerful vegetable Chologogue. In
a thievsh neighborhood wise men bar their doors
and windows, yet strange to say If the same
neghborhood happens to be pervaded by aerial
poison they seldom take the trouble to put their
bodies in state Of defence against the subtle
enemy. Shivering victi-fs endeavoring in vain to
warm your blue hands over the fire, or consum-
ing with the fever that follows the chill, relnem-
ber that HOsTETTER'S BITTERS is an aosc tute,
speedy andtrsraHtole specific for your distressing
malady. nov1 eD&o

THINGS IN KERSRAW.
Railroads and Reviva1s-The Central
Railroad-The Camden Branch.

CAMDEN, S. c., November 2.
This vicinity is at present agitated upon two
subjects widely different in their essential quail
ties. The two are railroads and religious revi-
val The latter, however, is confined to the FOL
lowers of John the Baptist, and may be said to
have eliminated in the immersion Of six newly
made members on Sunday last cold and
windy, or "raw and gusty day." which made
said immersion thing to be shuddered at.
In reference to the railroad, see that you have
published the resolutions adopted by the late con-
vention held in this town. From them you can
learn the spirit of the people OF Lancaster and
| Kershaw with regard to the enterprise.
That Lancaster is determined to have an outlet
by rail is a foregone conclusion, and that her peo
pie act in harmony with Kershaw is also evident
Thesoe question requiring solution is, with Hna'
corporation shall we associate ourselves"
The South Carolina Central Railroad offers Its
assistance, provided the people along its proposed
route subscribe one. fourth the requisite amount
in money or land at its assessed value. But tney
refuse to come by way Of Camden, unless the
branch Of the South Carolina Railroad Is IN some
manner disposed OF its advantage, either by be-
ing taken up from Kingvile to Claremont and turn
ed round to Sumter so disposed of as not to COM
pete with the Central Road. Knowing that there
would or might be some difficulty in negotiating
this the convention resolved to lay before the
Board Of Directors OF the South Carolina Railroad
a copy OF the resolutions adopted. in order that
they might see the advantage to be derived by
them by building the railroad from Camden by
Charlotte themselves, under the charter OF The
"wateree and North Carolina Railroad"
Should the South Carolina Railroad Company
build under this charter, the Central Road would
find its terminus at Sumter, for the reason that II
could not compete with both the Columbia and
Charlotte and the wateree and North Carolina
Railroads.
The very object Of the Central Road would be
thereby defeated.
Should, however, they see 1t not to make the
extension to Charlotte, the Central Road will be
built, and q nearly direct route be established
from Charlotte to the seabOard.
The South Carolina Railroad can secure to itself
the rich bait thus temptinely offered and within
its reach. KERsHAw.
