THE LYNcHEs CREEK BR1DdEs.-
Our, Coasty Commissioners have been
giving these bridges the most earnest
consideration, and the probability is
that, at an early day, all complaint in
reference to their condition will cease.
On the 18th instant they met the Oar.
lingtou County Commissioners at Kel-
ley's Bridge, which it was agreed shall
be rebuilt. forthwith. Our Commis.
sioners are ready to give the necessary
attention to the other bridges COM
planned Of, and will do SO as soon as the
Darlington Commissioners will cooper
ate with them. This intelligence will
be gladly received by people living uR22,
both sides of the big creek.

A WARNING.-It is time that the
Register was protecting itself against
those who request the gatuitous use Of
its news or advertising columns for char
table or other purposes, and then have
their job or other profitable printing ex-
ecuted in other establishments. In fu-
ture, VIC shall be forced to violate the
golden rule so far as to do unto others
as they do unto US.
So speaks the Columbia Register, and
VIC doubt not every newspaper publisher
in the State has sufficient reason to en-.
dorse it. Quite number lately have
expressed themselves on this and kim
dred grievances, and as tired of doing a
vast amount of work for nothing. 1t
is time the Press show that newspapers
are not public property, subject to be
preyed upon, and used as a convenience.
Our experience has been, that the more
that the publisher does of this kind of
work the less is his paper appreciated
when pay is demanded. We go in for
pay, with the privilege Of bestowing
charity as the circumstances warrant.

FIRE AT RIDGEwAY.-We take the
following from the Winnsboro NeWs and
Herald:
On last Thursday night the resi-
dencc occupied by Mr.. Alex. A. Walker,
together with the kitchen and WELL
house, was destroyed by fire. The fire
occurred at two o'clock in the morning.
The first alarm was given by Mrs.
Walker, who awoke feeling the cinders
falling upon her face. She at once
aroused Mr.. Walker, and ho succeeded
in saving some articles Of furniture.
His impression is that the fire was Tan
iucendiary origin. The property be-
.longed to the estate Of Jos. Lauhon'
Thsts was no insurancs.

"THE BRIDGE TAx"-An error pre-
walls to a greater or less extent in some
sections in reference to the "Bridge
Tax" which the people of this county
have been paying for several years past,
it being thought that the tax was in
tended for the building and repairing of
all the bridges over which the County
Commissioners have jurisdiction. But
this is not the case, the "Bridge Tax"
being authorized by the Legislature for
the building and repairing of Wateree
Free Bridge, which has recently been
converted into toll bridge.

"On Sunday evening last, seated upon

tative countcnances. FROM their grave
appearance and confidential manner,
one would have naturally concluded
that there we're vital issues under dis

A RAILROAD TO GoLUMBIA.--How
would a railroad to Columbia suit the
people of Camden? We think very
well. 1t would be link in the Raleigh.
& Augusta Air Line, which is now be-
ing built, and would be of immense ads
vantage to this section in many other
respects. Columbia no doubt would
ioin hands with Camden in the
enterprise, and 10 a few years We would
be no longer dependent upon the South
Carolina Railroad for communication
with the ontsidc world.

A RAT-KILLING.-Who is it that
has not at some period of his life been
present at and participated in rat kill

joyable, and four little boys-Jimmie

The Washington Monument

A great many years ago, when Wash
ington was much greater man than he
now appears to be considered, colossal
monument in his honor began to be
built. Associations were formed in
every State, and subscriptions from all
sides poured'in. Even foreign nations
contributed tablets and ornamental
stones to the work. The design was a
pantheon, hundred feet high, topped
by shaft rising full six hundred feet
higher. 1t was to be a big thinA two
hundred feet nearer Heaven than any
structure ever previously erected, ex-
cept the tower of Babel. The engineers
in charge laid the foundation only eight
feet deep, on clay and sand. When the
monument was hundred and eighty
feet high the foundation sank. DETECTING
the shaft an inch or so from the per-
pendicular. Engineering stupidity and
acessstion. of public spirit manifested
jnthe vayof subscriptions, brought the
work to an impotent conclusion: There
it has rosted for years. disgrace to the
country. Congress has just wsked up
to the situation and proposes to- COM
blete the work, on a reduced scale, IL it
te found that the foundation can be
strengthened. It is estimated that
thrse hundred thousand dollars will
erect the pile to the modest height of
four hundred and eighty-fvefeet. The
completion of munument to the man
chat never told q lie will be a pleasing
evidence of a great moral revival

DoN'T SL1p.-A political slip up, or
down if you choose, in Kershaw County
this year would certainly provo very
disastrous to the Democratic party in
this county. The Radicals, who out>
number us by several hundred voters,
would have their hopes revived, while
the Democrats would become correspond
ingly demoralized at their inability to
retain power once in their possession.
But there is no danger ofa slip, if every
man in our ranks will pull off his coat
and roll up his sleeves and go to work
with the determination to win, come
what will. .-

From Buffalo.

DEAR JOURNAL: The weather is fine and
the crops are tolerable promising. Far
mers generally have their fields clean Of
grass. The stand Of cotton is a good aver
age. 1t would have been unusually good,
had it not been for the worms. Owing to
the rust, the wheat is not good The May
variety will turn out we'll. Oats are COM
mon. Farmers are pushing right ahead,
and will do all they can to improve their
condition.
So far rs politics are concerned, the
questions, of the day are discussed at idle
times. Buffalo is almost to man opposed
to primary elections. Yet she is willing to
abide by the action of the party. She says
she would oppose the nomination of the
devil' with all her might but, should he be
nominated, she would give him solid
Democratic vote. Yours &C.,
BUFFALO.

FINE CoRN.-The most pleasing
sight that met our view during jour
ney on the Bishopville road last week,
was a field of corn belonging to our
good friend and patron, Mr.. Thomas
Holland. The corn is over waist high,
and the remarkable uniformity Of its
size is the most attractive feature.
From Mr.. Holland we learn that the
corn has been planted about six weeks,
and was fertilized only withhomc made
manure. He also Informed us that the
general yield from that field was between
thirty FIVE and forty bnshels Is to the acre.

ing to us was no new thing to him
