ATTEMPTED BR1BERY.-A few days
ago Mr.. Joel Hough, School Commits
sioner of Kershaw County, was ap-
preached by a sable Republican who
asked for certificate to allow him to
teach in the public schools, and Mr..
Housh referred him to the Board of
Examiners. He said he could not
stand the examination, but that MIR.
Hough could give him the certificate if
he wanted to, and he (the darkey) would
make it all right with him. The Com
missioner told him that that day bad
passed, aud any one who received a
certificate from hiG- would first have to
stand the examination and receive the
recommendation from the Board. The
nigger then looked blank enough, and
seemed to realize that the day for ras'
cality had indeed passed.

FERTILIzERs.-The war on fertili'
GERS continues to stir the farmers of our
State, and VIC hope they will continue
it until the price has been reduced to
it's proper level, proportionate with the
price of other articles. We want to see
the farmers of Kershaw meet in con-
vention aud endorse the resolutions of
their brother farmers in the other coun-
ties of the State, declaring that they
will not purchase any fertilizers at the
present exorbitant price, and also de-
naud that they be reduced at least 25
per cent, This can be done, aud then
leave large profit for the manufacturer.
The move must be made at once, or it
may be too late. The farmer can much
easier afford to do without the fertili.
zers than than the manufacturer can
afford to hold them.

TRAIN BEHIND TIME.-On last Sat-
urday night tho train did not arrive
until. about II p. m. The Camden
branch is the poorest equipped of any
road in the State, it receiving nothing
but the old caat off engines and cars Of
the main line.' There is but one train
d day, and it has to deliver freight at
all the stations on its way up, thus put.
ting it behind time nearly every day
Captain Gilbert ard his hands deserve
great praise for getting along as well as
they do with the old broken down stock
they have to work With. We believe
the Camden branch pays better than
any other piece of road of the same
length in the State, and we think it is
shame that the people here have to
submit to such treatment by the railroad
officials.

The Circuit Court.
FOURTH DAT.

The Court met promptly at 10 a. m,
aud resumed the case of the State vs..
j. F. Sutherland for bastardy. MIR.
Hay had concluded his argument and
was followed by Capt. W. L. DePass,
who, we caudidlv say, made an argu.
ment powerful, effective and unanswer-
able. Solicitor Abney, with his usual
cool, but forcible manner, approached
the jury and made what we thought a
regular stinger. he did all that could
be done, but the facts OF the case did
not sustain the charge, aud after care
full exposition of the law by his Honor,
the jury retired at z p. m., and re-
mained until 4 o'clock the next morn
ing. There was hitch somewhere, but
right finally, as it always will, prevailed,
and a verdict Of not guilty was rem
dered.
Tha next case called was that of the
State vs.. Moses Small, indicted for mur-
der. A number of witnesses were ex-
amired. and an interest deep and pro-
found was manifested by the entire
Court House. Messrs. Leitner & Dun
lap and j. D. Kennedy represented the
defense, and upon the part of the State
Messrs. DePass and Trantham ap-
peared, the Solicitor having made the
opening speech. We cannot dwell upon
upon the great eloquence and power
exhibited by all of the speakers. We
can only say that ability, earnestness zeal
and beauty of language, fortified by all
the law possible upon both sides was
given, and none Of the gentlemen upon
either side failed to fully discharge
their duty. The case was given to the
Jury at 4 p. M, and shortly after they
returned with a verdict of manslaugh
tier. The next and most Interesting
kcase was that of tho State vs.. Joseph

For Poor FoLKs.-The ether day a
seedy looking old negro was seen walk"
ing up Broad street with watch chain
dangling from his neck. Now, there was
ragged and mischievous looking negro
boy who knew he had no watch, but
thought to have little fun out of the old
mau by asking him, when he arrived in
the presence Of several other cclored
individuals what time of the day it
was, thinking that the old fellow would
be made to feel very cheap; but he was
mistaken, for the old man answered
thus: "Nigger, dar's de town clock;
dat's pot up dar fur po' folks. Don't
bodder a. gem'en wild your 'pert'nence
when he's in company" The boy left
without any further questions.

A Preachers Idea Of the Future of
This Earth.

Ono Sunday night recently, at the
Cambria street Philadelphia Methodist
Church, Rev. L. B. Hughes preached
on the future Of the earth. His theory
was, that at the last judgment, tie
world, which, as the scriptures say, is
to be destroyed by fire, is not to be ar
initiated, but, rather that, under the
action of fire, its present form will
merely undergo change. He argued
that the language Of prophecy and the
whole tenor of the scriptures pointed to
this idea, and that it was impossible to
believe that this earth, which Ged him.
self declared to be good, and upon
which the Saviour lived and died,
should be entirely given over to the
flames. The transformation Of the old
earth into a new earth would, so the
preacher argued, take place after the
day of judgment The new earth will
be as prim as the present one, and with
the same heavenly dome spread over it.
Beauty would delight the eye, music
attract the ear. and there would be
blissful intercourse between man and
man. There would be green hills, ma
ies.ic mountains, f"rtile fields. fruit
bearing trees, flowing streams, fragrant
aowers-nver a clear, bright sky, az
ever shining sun, with all the material
ism which sense sees in the present
but without the sensual tits that sir
creates and .impresses on our present
existence In short. it will be the pres
ent earth, so renewed and regeneratee
that it will appear in all the graces o
its first formation. This" said III,
preacher, will be Paradise Regained.

safe in saying that unlessa concession

will be used here this year. We, of this
ueigbborhood, are rather Indifferent

prove a profitable experiment to discard
