ga Voice from South CarOIina.' -

This is th. title of an excellent book
from The gifted pen of Col. John A..
Leland. 1t gives a very vivid and
graphic description of the days when
South Carolina was but the tramplnc
ground of oppressors and thieves. 1t
portrays in language burning and elo-
quent, what many. very many, of our
citizens had to endure while the iron
yoke, or the more familiar "handcuff. "
was in vogue. Emanating from thi'
pure and christian gentleman as it does.
one abnve suspicion or reproach, mikes
it doubly valuable, and as We read
mauv Of its thrilling lines and thought
of the by gone days when we sat at his
feet az an humble scholar, we could
but imagine that it vas indeed but a
dream, to suppose for a moment such a
man as Col. Leland ever could have
known what prison walls and punish
meut were. The kind, the noble, the
christian man, whose daily walk was
always upright and correct-to think Of
him as a fettered outlaw? Impossible
However. it is bright scene in the re-
construction drama, and most heartily
do we recommend this very capital book
to our people. 1t is a very valuable
heirloom to hand down to posterlty

Who TO Choose.

The self seeking demagogue and bla
tant boaster we wish to see put far away
from the councils of State. Men are
demanded By the times who are bold
enough to do right though the heavens
fall, who are aggressiv" enough t" make
a fair hon.st and coociliatory admins
tration of affairs, metlng out justice
with impartial hand to all classes and
colors and conGitions.-Caroli olina Spar
tan.
We endorse very fully the sentiments
expressed by our esteemed contempo-
rary. That man who does not to-day
fully appreciate the condition of South
Carolina has but little political FORE
sight. We need exactly what our
friend says, and in Gary We see all of
the requirements SO fully set forth in
the above. a truly brave man is al
ways generous, and while convictions
may be strong with him, yet the high
inward instinct of true mani ood always
rises above petty spite and feeling. and
assumes the role natural to lofty men.
This is our idea of Gary, and this is
one of the principal motives that imp"ls
US to endorse and support him.

General Kershaw has proved his de-

Progressive Signs.

IF traveller from some enlightened
or half civilized country, were at this
time to visit Camden, and desire to
make sn Inspection Of our county, We
wonder what his first impression would
be if he stopped at Latham's, hired a
hack and started out for Western Wa
telee, by far the finest planting section
of this counry. What would he think
when he reached the celebrated free
bridge, where tens of thousands have
been paid ont, and see it topping and

short and dangerous existence OF seven
years. Then turn his eye from this
beautiful spectacle and behold the 1--we

dresses in the mud, begging up ankle
deep, all too in their finest paraphana
liza, as they reach the fiat, which, t"
make things worse is broken directly
in the middle, and is extremely danger
Gus. As he crossrs heneath the grsat
bridge that towers in threatening at.
titude over his head, if he can take his
eve off Of it for moment, let him look
down the river little distance, and
see the steamboat lying high and dry
upon the sand bar, a few dusky labour-
Ing men digging shallow space, in or
der that the first freshet may take ii
into the river, while hundreds Of bales
of cotton and quantities of turpentinr
and rice are blocked for want of trans
portation, What would be his iu-
preston? ? Indeed might he turn his
back aud say, that all of this county
is "lost territory" and not Western
Wateree alone. 1t is too serious to
Jest about, and as public duty we call
upon the proper authorities to come to
the front and come at once. There is
no justification for this fearful condi-
ton of affairs, and We trust the remedy
is near at hand.

Death Valley.

Five miles of steady. climbing
brought US to the sum nit OF the
Panamint range, whence, thous..
ands of feet below us, stretched
Death valley, like the illimitable
sea-no bounds apparent to vision
to its vast expanse, save directly
eastward, the direction of our route,
the murlSy outlines of the distant
mountains forming the opposite
shore of this dead ocean of burning
sands. 1t needed none of its Death
valley legends to make this view,
my first, impressively, not to say
oppressively, grand. Descending
for several miles we arrive at what
was once known as "Johnson's
Ranch"-its former proprietor, by
the way, being the same johnson
so foully murdered by the Kern
county Yoakums. Resting an hour
or two, we continued to descend to
"depth," shown by Lieutenant
WheeIer's observations to be 240
feet below sea level, finally reach
ing point known as "Bennetts
Holes" SO named in memory of
one of the party of forty-niners who
crossed this way. There are several
of these "holes,n all affording good
water, and surrounded with excel.
lent bunch grass. This place is
about twenty-five miles from Pan.
amint. We had been encamped in
this silent spot but short time
when we were greatly surprised to
see a man making for our camp.
Stopping, in due course, little
way off, he soon had the packs off
his animals, by which time l
had addressed him In the usual
style of the desert, ending with:
"What on earth are you doing in
this placer" His reply, in brief,
was that he was one of the few
survivors of that ill-fated band of
emigrants who tried to find road
to California across this waste in
lS49, and in which so many men
and women and children and ami.
mails had persisted; that he had
spent good portion of almost
every year from 1919 down to 1879,
in wandering, mostly alone, over
these wastes, vainly but ever in
confident hope of finding that
legendary Gunsight or Breyfogle
silver mine. His name, he told me,
was Stockton, and very intelli-
gent gentleman he proved to be.
We spent the greater part of the
night listening to his deeply inter-
esting "reminiscences of his own
and others terrible experiences in
this famed region. He was conf
dent he would find the particular
object Of his long search, though he
was now on the way to Los Ange-
les to ascertain the assay value of
numerous fine ore specimens pick
ed up in his recent wanderings-

A Trip to CataIi ma.

EDITOR HERALD: Our party of
eight left Wilmington at IL O'Clock
on the morning of Tuesday, Au-
gust 5th, on the sloop Liberty,
Captain Seal. After a pleasant
sail of four hours we arrived at
Timms's Point, one of the most
beautiful places on the Island.
Here is the finest place for bathing
I ever saw-the water clear as crys-
tai and as smooth as glass, with
neither breakers nor swells. Around
the point of rocks and along the
Island, one can look into the water
for depth of so feet, where can
be seen beautiful groves of trees
waving to and fro with the action
of the tide, while beautiful colored
MOSES of every variety can be
seen clinging to the rocks, and kelp
of many kinds running over the
tops of the trees, forming a series
of cool and shady arbors. Add to
this the bright gold and silver
fishes skipping back and forth
through the marine colored plants,
and you have one of the handsom-
est pictures the eye ever looked
upon.
In the hills hundreds of wild
goats and quail innumerable are
to be found. The fresh water of the
Island is said to be tinctured with
mineral, which makes it very
healtbful to drink. Take it for all
in all, Catalina Island is one of the
most delightful places for enjoy
ment on the Pacific Coast, II.
