The Cemetery Association.

The annual meeting of the Gene
terry Association was held at the Lee
ture Room of the Presbyterian
Church last Monday evening. The
attendance was very good, and q
great deal of business was transacted.
The report of the treasurer showed
an increase in the receipts over last
year. The report of the executive
committee exhibited a gratifying
amount of work done towards the
improvement of the Cemetery during
the year. The erection of a keepers
lodge and the employment of q
keeper for the Cemetery was dis
cussed. and Capt. j: W. McCury
was appointed to investigate and
consider the matter. The Town
Council Gaye donated to the Associa-
ton the unused fire engine house on
lower Broad street to be used for
the purpose of erecting a keepers
lodge.
The following officers were elected
by the Association to serve for the
ensuing year: Miss E. A. Davis,
President; Mrs. F. P. DePass and

Robbery.
A daring robbery vas committed
last week in the Lynches Greek sec
ton by negro calling himself Willis
Jones, alias Willis Steele, alias Charly
Brown. He had been employed by
Mr.. Beard for about o month in
driving a wagon. On this occasion
Willis appeared at Mr.. Boards house
with a gun, and finding no one there
l,at q lady-AIr. Beard being at the
creek, some ssyep miles away-he
frightened her almost TO death by
telling her to 60 into the kitchen and
stay there, or he would blow her II
id head off. She concluded II
was best to obey him, as she did not
want her head taken off. Willis
then proceeded to 60 through the
house and take everything that suit
ed him, after which he gave the lady
another fright by cursing her shame
fully. He then left the premises with
his booty. The arlarm was soon
given, and Mr.. Nelson Newman, @
neighbor, started on the track of the
thief, whom he captured in Western
Wateree last Tuesday, and recovered
all the property:

The Dairy Farm.

We are truly pleased to see that
Mr.. Barbot is meeting with so much
success in his venture in the dairy
business here. We had the pleasure
a short time since of looking over
his farm and going through the
dairy, and we must say that it re-
minds us more of the Virginia farms
than anything we have ever seen in
this section before everything neat
and in order; place for everything,
and everything in its place. His
stock are principally of the Jersey
breed, and are very fine animals.
He has one COW which he calls his
two-pounder, because he gets an av-
erage of two pounds of butter from
each days milk. We hope ere long
to see all our old scrub cattle re
placed by the Jersey, Devon and
other fine breeds, and as soon as MIR.
Barbot's venture has proved sue
cess, we know that the progress to-
ward that end will be rapid. We
need just such men as he is among us
to help build up our waste places
and develop our resources and cause
prosperity once more to smile upon
our impoverished ossnty. We wish
for him that success iii all his under
takings that he so richly deserves.
It is hoped that our stock ralsers
and farming community may learn
from him many lessons that will be
of value to them in the development
of the resources they have already
at their command, but which, until
now have lain dormant.

readers:

of Carolina, large, tall, manly and brave,
having demanded satisfaction of Mr.. Tom
Evans, also of Camden, wounded the latter
in the shoulder. The parties met this
time very near the ferry, and Evans fired
Immediately at the word. Blair took aim
as sstwo," "three," "four," s.fve" were
sounded, fired accurately, hitting Evans,
who had missed him. in the arm. While
the latter was down and bleeding, General
Blair approached him and said he was glad
that the wound was no worse, and EYans, af-
ter thanking the General. stated that he was
glad to have been able to give him satisfac-
ton. Evans ultimately recovered, and
used to say that while standing with his
own empty pistol in his hand, waiting to
receive his assailant's ball, the count
seemed to last FIVE years instead of i've Sec
onds.
1t was not long now before Henry c.
Nixon and Hopkins, of Camden. South
Carolina, met in hostile mein on account
OF some newspaper publication. The COM
batants were provided with two pistols
apiece-one IN each hand-and the plan
was to nanauvre until one or the other
was shot down. These cruel tactics, how
ever, were not peeded, for Nixon fell at
the first fire, sho. through the heart.

The BAPTIST Protracted Meeting.

Iue odptlSt 1EoeldSeSo DnSSA6'
The Baptist Church has been well
filed every night thus far with the
congregations that attend upon the
eloquent preaching of Rev. A. W.
Lamar, and considerable interest has
been manifested by some in a desire
for their life's amendment. MIR. La
mars sermon on Monday night was
one brimfull of wholesome truths
for those professors of religion who
in the walks and business OF life
make their conduct reproach to
the principles of true Christianity.
The text was selected from that
event in the life of Christ where the
moral young man came to our Saw
our and asked. "what good thing
shall I do to inherit eternal life?
On Tuesday night MIR. Lamar pre-
sented the srlficiency of Gods pro-
misses for the salvation Of man,
through our Saviour, and directed
the greater part of his discourse to
a very convincing explanation of
the beauties and conclusiveness OF
the promises. Yesterday afternoon
a lecture was delivered on the ''un-
pardonable sin"

The Election of Town Officers.

Nessrs. Editors: As We have heard
the views of. different parties on this
question, we wish to express ours, and
in doing so We wish it distinctly under,
stood that we consider the parties Clrc-
ted by Council to gil the Offices of
Treasurer and Recorder and Chief of
Police as gentlemen in every way conf
pctent to discharge the dntirs Of the
same. But we are now diecnssing the
principles of law that we think applica-
BILE to the same.
At common law, the State is invested
with certain Fights within The bounda.
rics Of the same. Each county is in
vested with certain rights by the State
that is to say, the election of county
officers The State has granted certain
chartered rights to the town of Cam
den, and among the right. granted to
the corporation is the right of electipg
town officers. Can the State elect from
other States members of the LegiSla,
ture2 Certainly not; this is conceded.
Can tho county elect county officers
from the adjoining countless Certain.
ly not. Can the town, which holds it
charter from the State, and by whose
acts certain offices have been created,
All these Offices from parties residing
outside the corporate limits Of the
same? We think not. We are rep
resentative body, from the President of
the United States to the most inferior
officers of towns and citisa. Repubi-
Can form Of government uuderlles tho
whole.
It will mol do to say this has been
done before. As we'll might We plead
ror a continuance of Radical rule in our
midst. It will not meet the question to
say that these officers are the mere crea-
lures Of Oonncil. Far from it. They
are bonded officers, and are not respon.
sible TO the Council alone for their acts,
hut they are responsible to the State
as we'll. Their duties are defined by
statute, and we contend that, und'r
. the principles Of common and statute
law, the town of Camden, as corpo-
rate body, has no legal right to elect its
officers from those who do not belong
to its corporation and pay no tax to its
government. 1t is certainly depart
ure from those republican principles
that underlie the very foundation Of
our government, both State and eorpo,
rate. Again, what are the Tualifca-
