Dogs.

Dogs.
Cannot Council do something to
thin out the great number of worth
less ours that infest our streets? :?
Mad dogs are heard of in several
sections of the county near Camden,
and if one should get among those
around here, the results might be
very serious before their career could
be ended. Take the matter in hand
in time and save us from any cases
of that most terrible of all diseases,
hydrophobia. We could easily spare
400 dogs from the town and not feel
the loss much. A mad dog might
go through our streets only one night
and in that short time set hundred
others on the war path. Go for
them and clear them out.

Chronic Growlers.

We have among us a class of peo-
pie whom we do not think are ever
satisfied with anything or anybody.
We can hear them on every occasion
growing and abusing the town as
the last place in the world: Why is
this? It is very evident that they
have never travelled much, or they
would soon see their error. It is
The persons themselves, and not the
place that is in fault. If they are
hot satisfied, why don't they leave
and go elsewhere mot stay here
and worry other people by ther con-
tinual growing and faulttinding.
The train leaves here every morning,
and the steamboat occasionally, SO
that they have every opportunity Of
leaving. and there is no law to pre-
vent them from going. We be would
glad if they would so. The commm-
| ty would be better off without them.
they are generally a lazy, discomfort
I'd set Of screheads whom we do not
believe would be satisfied if they
we're placed in paradise and sur
rounded by angels for companions,
Any energetic. well-disposed person

The Towns Books and Money.

We do not suppose there has been
time in the history of Camden
when the books of the Recorders
office have been kept better than I'M
der the skillfll custody of Major
Sill. Everything is in an orderly
and systematic ndition, and any
one having business there is accom-
nodatcd with dispatch. We do not
suppose the tow ever has much
money on had at time for the Ma
ior to Try his arithmetic on, but we
venture to say his cash always bal
ances to mill.

Why the Great Diference.9

True to it's long established rule,
the management of the South Car
olina Railroad has again made a
great discrepancy between Camden
and other points on the road The
excursion rate last Tuesday from
Charleston to Columbia was only
81 for 256 miles of travel. against
Sl.24 from Camden, for 122 miles
of travel. It does seem as if they
had particular spite against Cam.
den, and were doing all they could
to break down the town. Let us
have the Ridgeway road, and break
down the monopoly.

Attacked by a Wild Turkey.

While our friend, Mr. Thomas j.
Josey, of Beulah, was in the swamp
the other day, wild turkey hen
rushed from a patch Of canes and
made q furious attack upon him.
The cause Of this unusual conduct
was soon discovered in large drove
of young turkeys, which the old one
was trying to protect. Mr.. Josey
did not modest them, but he marked
the spot ior next fall. He says that

The Kershaw Guards

Were represented at the parade in
Columbia last Tuesday by squad
of about twenty men under com
mand of Lieutenant Mackey, and
they acquitted themselves very cred
itably. They were met at the depot
by the Richland Volunteer Rifles
and escorted to Carolina Hall, where
they were entertained by them in
fine style. The many courtesies re-
ceived at their hands will long be re-
membered by the Guards.

Rev. n. F. Chreitzberg.

This gentleman remained over in
Camden two days after Sunday, and
preached in the Methodist Church
on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
1t must have been source Of great
qualification to him that he preached
so soon in q church, in the erection
of which he assisted so greatly. It
was during his ministry here, and
through his exertions, that the first
money was raised towards erecting
the new church editice.

Very Clean and White.

Chief of Police Nettles, who is also
clerk of the market, has caused
quite revolution in the inside ap-
pearance of the market. The floor
has been scoure1 the stalls and
blocks polished, anSb the walls and
lattice work whitewashed. When a
man goes there now for his beef
steak or mutton-chop, he feels like
he is getting them for reasonable
price, because he buys in such u
clean looking place. May Mr.. Net
ties record rs chief OF police be al
ways as clean as the market looks.

A Business Council.

AS far as the management Of the
affairs of the town is concerned, our
present Town Council is q model of
thoroughness. Economy seems to
be the grand principle they have es-
tablished; and yet all needed work
and improvements are carried out.
Composed of business men, they
conduct things on business princi-
pies, and at the end of the year our
town will realize the benefits of a
wise administration. Our adni-
ration for our Council would be COM
plete if they had elected citizens and
taxpayers to be their officers.

To Destroy Cut Worms.

It is said to be sure prevention
against cut worms if Alder leaves are
cut up and sprinkled around the
roots of the young Cabbages. We
have been told by several gentlemen
who tried it that not a Cabbage was
cut down by the worms after the Al
der leaves were put around them.
It is a very simple remedy and is
worth trying.

Look to Your Poultry.

During the past ten days the
chicken thieves have been unusually
active. We have heard of no less
than half a a'dozen persons who have
lost their stock of poultry in a sir
gle night. We hear Of two gentle
man in Kirkwood who have lost val
liable game fowls. This stealing
business ought to be stopped imme
diately, and no better remedy can be
applied than the shot gun argument.

The New Steam Mill.

From the piles of lumber and
brick, and the sound of the hammer,

Burt meant business when he said
he was going to erecta steam mill in

ments going on. It makes us feel
like Camden Will be a town of some
Importance yet.

The Evening Services.

Another large congregation assem-
bled at night, to take part III the
closing worship of the day. The
services were conducted by Rev. G.
w. Whitman, who selected for his
text II. Corinthians, iv., 3: But if
our gospel be hid. it is hid to them
that are lost" His topic was the
success of Christianity, and the pos
tive conclusion Of the proposition
was forcibly and logically demonstra-
ed by the preacher. After tie Ser-
mon the choir sang the anthem, 20,
How Beautiful are Thy Towers, O.,
Zion" Then the Long Metre Dox-
ology. in all its grand old glory was
sung by the congregation, and with
bowed heads and thankful hearts
they received the benediction.

THE DEMOCRAT.
Goo. Crawford, Robt. M. Crawford,
EDITORS AND PRoPRIEToRs.

Madison Democrat: That blood
thirsty warrior, Charley Williams,
and that other implacable comba-
tant, Mr.. Humphry, refused to vote
for the sixth section Of the demo-
cratic army bill. All except twenty
of the republicans backed down
and surrendered, and Wisconsin
furnished q brace of the stalwarts
In q little blow-hard speech Will
liams maintained that the president
ought to have power to use the
army at the polls. This is Charley's
position, and Humphrey, whose
sole ambition is to ape the member
from the first, takes the same
ground. These gentlemen are
striving to make tho military rcpu-
tation which they omitted making
when there was chance to show
their pluck by actions as well as by
words. They both favor the pres
ence of an army at the polls; but
what ever else may bcfall the south
ern states they will never be obliged
to face bristling bayonet in the
hands Of these valorous Wisconsin
stalwarts.

The Lower Pipe Clay Opening.

II seems quite desirable, ut this
critical period with our miners, that
moro DO known about the prob
able fertility of the hitherto neg
lectcd opening known MS the
Lower Pipe Clay, Prof Whitney,
in his Report, has only this con-
corning it, "rhc lower pipe clay is
in the Buff Limestone near the bot
tom; in its characters it is said TO
resemble the upper opening of the
same name. In only ono or two
instances has ore been found in us
low Il position as this; and ! have
never had an opportunity of in
speeding tho opening" Pcrciyal's
observations upon the matter are
rs follows: "Openings have been
found III the lower part of the lower
bed, Tint is to say, near the base Of
the Buff Limestone; generally, wide
and Hat, and strongly resembling
good mineral openings in other
bods, but they have not yet been
fairly proved. They are sometimes
travcrsed by layers of clay, and in
eases resemble much the upper pipe
clay openings; hence their name.
In other instances they are found to
contain large quantities of calcar-
ious spar in masses similar To those
in some of the glass-rock openings,
with moro or less mineral, and some
zinc ore connected. Large openings
of this kind have been reached at
the South Forked Deer Diggings,
and in the vicinity Of Mineral Point
AZ Haswcll's mine.
Mr.. John lIoare of this place
was once acquainted with fourth
opening mining III these parts, rs
also were other Of our early res
idents. The outcome of Il short
interview with enc Of these, Mr..
J. Suthers, the other day, was that
according 70 his experience where
the glass rock opening and the one
below seemed to merge, the inter-
yening layers Of rock seeming to be
much broken down and altered,
that tho lowcrmost opening was
found TO be fertile.
We should be glad to hear fur
thcr from those having practical
knowledge on this subject There
