GENUINE PATRIoTIsM.-We learn
from friend that the aged and vener-
able Mr.. Jas. Team, whose locks ars
now whitened by the frosts of nearly
eighty winters, and whose life has been
one of rectitude, declares that, while be
thinks it an outrage that the Cureton
Mill box has been abolished, new
ertheless he intends next November, if
his life shall be spared, to come to Jam
den and vote for Hampton, if he has to
be brought upon pallet in q wagon.
He has been confined by illness to his
house for several months. This rings
like the true metal. We wish him q
speedy restoration to health.

A gentleman, by the way, who is always

From TiIler's Ferry.

Mr.. EprroR Since the late county con-
vention politics have not been much ut
tended to, for people out here learned long
ago that .he that by the plough would
thrive must himself either hold or drive"
That which concerns us most, just now, is
the damage done to the cotton and wheat
crops: that to the former by cut-worms and
to the latter by rust.
Perhaps Il would not be amiss to mem
ton that the opposition to Primary Elec-
tions has gained strength since the meet
ing Of the convention; the why's or where
fores do not now propose to state.
I took trip on Monday last to Dar-
lineton C. H., and the first object that
claimed attention was Kelley's Bridge on
Lynches Greek, miserable trap on which
people often have to risk themselves and
their property in attending to their legiti-
mate business, and am told that Gardner's
and Stokes are no better. I was told that
the Darlington Board are ready to rebuild
Kelley's Bridge and are only waiting on
the Kershaw Board to join them in the
work. In fact, was requested to inform,
perhaps they said request, our chairman
10 attend TO the matter forthwith, as the
Bridge must be rebuilt. The Board will
therefore stake due notice and govern it.

DEATu.-Wilson Williams, we'll
known and most reliable colored citi>
zen of Camden, died on Sunday evening
after protracted illness. Of him it
can be said that be was an honest man.
Though born and reared slave, he did
not, when suffrage was given to his race
abuse his citizenship by allying himself
with the political adventurers who took
possession of the country Immediately
after reconstruction. On the contrary,
he thought and acted always with the
white people, whose respect and conf
dence he commanded to the time of his
death. We may we'll say good citi'
zen and an honest man is gone.

They were Joined BY friends out there.
and the usual pleasures Of such occasions
were enjoyed to the fullest extent-that
of fishing, riding on the water, gathering
flowers, telling tales, etc., and last, but
not least, a most elegant dinner. The
parties from Camden did not return
until late hour but they all agreed
that the day spent out there was long
to be remembered as one Of the most
pleasant of this season.

FRosr.-Farmers generally were badly
frightened on Thursday evening last,
the wind having shifted to almost due
north, the sky being as clear as crystal,
and the mercury dropping far down to"
wards freezing point. All were fearful
that corn, cotton, vegetables, fruit and
so forth would go up before morning.
But morning came, and with it only a
light frost ir some places, which did
but little damage. 1t is now thought
that we will not have another frost "un'
til the full moon in October"

shal John A. Boswell received lsttsr
from Collector Braytou stating that is
violation of the Internal Revenue law
for planters to keep tobacco on hand fol-

cost. We do not believe the Courts
would sustain such construction oi
the law, for q person keeping in bis
possession a box Of tobacco or less for
the purpose mentioned, and disposing Of
itwithout profit, cannot be regarded as
"dealer" in the article. Still it may
be we'll for those concerned TO keep
