THIS i, great balI-goin5 and party
unprecedented number of benefit par
tiss-all Of them, or nearly all, success
ful-surprisiDGly 50, indeed, consider
ing the dull times. Now We again beg
to remind our fellow townsmeu of the
objects sought by the Carson Guard in
giving their Washington's birthday
party. They want to raise the neelfu!
means to purchase their uniforms The
company IS made up of hard orhing
Young men III moderate circumstances
They cannot afford to equip themselves
out OF their own pockets. They have
given two parties, but the weather was
against them and other influences tend
ing toward success were lacking, and SO
they failed There is, as We believe,
little danger of failure this time. Blu:
their success should be assured. Our
citizens should take an interest in
the matter aud lend it helping
hand. Doubtless the masquerade -
which will be by all odds the finest thing
Of the kind ever seen here,-will attract
o great many Of our amusement loving
gentlemen and ladies; but some who
may be in doubt of having the time to
spare ito put in an appearance should
lend hand and help the thing along.
This party will teke place on next Tues
day night, at Theatre Hall.

The Shelby Banner learns that Miss Ida,

"A correspondent of the Augusta Chroa

says: "Never before was there such lack ot
business as there is in the city at the present

from boundary to boundary, and demoraliza
tion is fast taking possession of the poorer
classes. Ere the summer passes away the
suHerings of the poor will be more fully man.

resources is severely felt. All of this. is
attributable to the results of rotten Republi,
can government, which, like ungainly Gerber
us, belches forth its sinking breath, spread
ing dismay and desolation around"
In consequence of partial failure of the
crops in Colleton and Beaufort counties last
year, many of the people in these counties,
are represented to be in an almost starving
condition. At a public meeting held at
Varnville, in Beaufort county, last week, the
following resolution was adopted: "Res0tued,
That committee of five be appointed, who
shall be a committee on relief, whose duty
shall be to ask aid from all who have charity
for their fellow-men and are willing and able
to contribute something to the relief of the
destitute who are without bread, means or
credit; and that the said committee make
immediate application where they think best
and by the most practicable means to accom-
nlish this end.'
