THE RADIcALs.-The Democracy oi
Kershaw county should not allow them
selves to fall into the delusve impress
sion that the Radicals do not intend 10
try and elect a ticket Of their own
nomination. We know whereof we
speak when we say that they are work
ias secretly and with energy in almost
every part Of the county, and it is very
probable that they will have have a full
ticket in the field about the first of next
1t is our duty to be vigilant,
and let not our labor cease or enthusiasm
get cold until after the day Of the elec>
ton has passed.

Nor DAMAGED We were shown
ears Of corn last Tuesday from the plan
tation of Baum Bros. that had been
completely covered by the fresnet, but
had no appearance Of being injured. 1t
had been pulled from the stalk as soon
as it could be got at, and the shuck
taken off. If this plan is adopted by
our river planters generally, perhaps
the loss from the fre$het will not be so
great, after all.

JECTIoNABLE CoTT0N BAGGING.
The Charleston Exchange has issued q
circular, warning planters against using
the new style of .t7a.r JnggiMg .fHed
wM Mires. They give several good
reasons for doing so particularly amorg
which is that cotton is badly stained
wher. this bngging, when wet, touches
it, thereby lessening the price of the
cotton. The circular closes as follows {:
"On and after the lst October next,
buyers and consumers will claim the
right to reject all cotton covered with
such bagging, and the expense Of pick
ing the bales and recovering them with
sound merchantab!e bagging, will fall
heavily on the planter, who will be the
only sufferer.
ut is, therefore, suggested that the
planters discontinue the use OF flax
bagging Of the above description, which
cannot be too strongly condemned"

Camden, S. g., Sept. IL, 1878.
Ths-market for the Iast week has
been quite active, with both money and
BUYERS suficiant to keep the price with
but a little margin between here and
Charleston. The staple has come in
quite freely, though the freshets in the
river and Lynches Creek have kept a
good deal away. Owing to the suspen-

report on Tuesday, up to which time
there had been sales for the week OF

THE EFFECT. became necessary,
not long since, for an acquaintance OF
ours, whom we will call Ezekiel Smith,
to have some teeth extracted In order
to prevent the pain attending such op
erations. he fortified himself with several
drinks of old rye before going to the
dentist. On having the first tooth
drawn, however, he found that the
whisky did not produce the desired
eGect-that of preventing the pain-so
he went off and looked up his physi-
clan, whom he persuaded to 60 to the
dentist with him and see what chloro-
form would do in allaying pain. As a
result, so soon as it began to be felt, he
commenced singing, "Am soldier Of
the Cross ?" etc. A little further Oh
as the effect increased, he changed of
on "Safe in the arms of Jesus" etc.
About that time the forceps shut down
on his teeth, it was, ooh! oh
e-eh ugh stop. stop!" etc., ETC.; (the
teeth we're out by this time and an
other change comes in the shape of"O,
little brown jug, you and me-" etc.
Zeke now declares that chloroform is
the greatest thing ever discovered, and
says that he will never have another
tooth drawn without taking it.

DISASTROUS FRESHEST. The heavy
rains of Wednesday and Thursday last
had caused planters on tho river to be
apprehensive Of freshet, and they were
not to remain long in suspense, for on
Saturday morning the river commenced
TO roll out of its banks, and by Sunday
morning there had developed as large a
freshet as ever occurs here. What the
damage is, cannot be estimated; and it
is sufficient TO say that all the fine crops
growing on the river, and from which
so much was expected, have been totally
destroyed. ..s.E.sS. ...-.-

DAMAGING AINs.-The equinoctial
season this year has been a severe one,
and has caused considerable damage in
this vicinity. On Wednesday night, the
11th instant, heavy storm accompa-
MED by volumes of rain, broke over this
county, and continued nearly through
the whole night. The next morning
there were plenty of evidences of the
fury Of the storm around Camden. and
news of the damage done in the country
came in by degrees during the. week.
Outside of the great damage done to
open cotton and green fodder in the
fields, We have heard of the following
mill dams that we're washed away : Both

SUNDAY TTEMs.--Rcv. Mr.. Th"rre'i
having returned home, the usual SER
vices were held in the Baptist Church
last Sunday.
The pleasant day brought out good
congregations at both the Presbyterian

Mr.. A. D. Kennedy conducted the
services of Grace Church Mission last
Sunday night. After worshipa meet
ing of the congregation was called for
the purpose of forming choir.
Thirteen persons were admitted to the
colored Baptist Church by immersion
in Morrell's pond last Sunday.
A great many people took advantage
of the pleasan5 afternoon last Sunday,
and went down to look at the big
freshet.
Rev. Mr.. Wilson, Of the Methodist
Church, was prevented by the freshet
on Saturday from attending the Rich
land Fork Campmeeting. AS few of
his congregation knew this, however.
he decided to let the announcement
stand, that there would De no services
in his church on Sunday. He was pre-
sent at the Sunday school in the after
noon.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Sunday
morning last difficulty occurred be-
tween George Watts, white, and John
Sumter, colored, in which tho latter was
shot and dangerously wounded by the
former. The weapon used was pistol,
and the ball entered the right side of
the wounded man, lodging near the
backbone. where it was cut out by Dr.
Burnet. Both parties live on the Shan.
non plantation, about four miles east of
Camden, where. the shooting took place.
As the whole affair will probably un-
dergo judicial investigation, We refrain
from giving any report'of the particu-
lars until after that time.

Thanksgiving day passed very
quietly in this locality, nothing
worth Of note transpired during the
day except the excitement caused by
the bringing i'll of a large drove of
cattle consisting of one hundred and
fifteen head, to be shipped to the
Chicago market. In the evening
the young folks assembled at Mas
ters Hall for few hours recreation
and returned quietly to their homes
at seasonablc hour.
Times are not as lively here as
they were a year ago. Some of the
merchants have let their goods run
down and are giving their attention
to collecting their debts, but intend
filing up their stores again before
the holidays. They report that the
farmers in general show their will
lingness to pay all arrears, by turn
| ing out their stock for that purpose.
OF course there are exceptions to the
general rule, for there are always
some who exert more effort in trying
to dodge payment then they do in
trying to straigten up. l would
state for the benefit Of those intend
ing to settle here, that this is tenn
pcrarce town, and we intend it shall
remain so; and our prospects are
growing bri ghter, as many here
who were once addicted to liquor
| bringing have quit and joined the
temperance ranks. Last April the
Independent Order of Good Tenn
piers organized Il society With four
teen members and to-day they num-
Der about fifty, with a good prospect
of many more joining this winter.
The committee that was organized
a short time ago for the purpose of
securing ground for Cemetery,
have succeeded in doing so. The
land was purchased from Mr.. Min
holland at a very reasonable price
and lies about one mile west of the
village. 1t will be laid out in lots

to move their dead from the old
