harmony" lie asks if | pfoporc that
the Democratic party (<f.eallcdl ''shal'
compare numbers with the PEOPLES
Rights party" I answer yes, with the
.rhHc members of the Peoples Rights
party. l expressed tbi' clearly before,
but L scarcely expected ]. r. NJ, to
give an cquivocatiug response; for my
proposition was intended to expose the
hollowness cf his rrcfensc that the
Peoples Rights party were requiring
the majority of 'he white people of the
country to yield to the minority, on
pain of dividing and giving the ascend
ancy to the negroes if they would not.
I wish to show that the fact is just the
reverse Of this; that the Peoples Rights
party embraces a decisive majority of the
white people Of the county; and to sug.
eest simple mode of demonstrating if
such is not the fact. J. R. NJ, as an
ticipated, equiYocates and evades, He
says, in effect, "if Mr.. Blair proposes
that the Democratic party shall compare

a Highhanded Outrage.

Capt. J. NIcClair, resident Of
West Watereeis one Of the mostpeace
able and we'll to-do citizens of that
section, and he is strongly in favor
of the stock law. Some of his neigh
bors are opposed to it, and threaten
vengeance upon any one who obeys
it's mandates. The. Captain is not
a man TO be bulldozed by any threats
and had accordingly prepared to
plaintiffs fields without fencing them.
Upon learning this, some Infamous
scamp last week set fire to his tur-
pentine still, which however, was
discovered in time to prevent the en-
tire destruction of the property
only SIS or Sl00 damage being dcne.
On the next morning he found a let
ter addressed to him IN which his
life was threatened if hepersisted in
planting unfenced fields. He has
determined to plant his fields, and
is also making great efforts to dis
cover the perpetrators of the out
races referred to above. 1t is hoped
that he will be successful.

Come Down this Way.

Rock Hill claims to have fifty
four young bachelors who are en-
paoed in business and able to make
q q good living. In Camden we have
bnt few unmarried men, but we have
ouite o number of as handsome and
accomplished young ladies as can
be found anywhere, therefore if those
younr fellows should desire apartner
forlife they will win prizen they can
capture one of these young ladies.
However, we don't want to see the
o1;rIs leave Camden. We want tho
fellows to settle here, and become
citizens of our town.

Another Enterprise.

We understand that on Tuesday
last the old factory, sitenear Camden,
owned by Mr.. " F. Morrell, was
purchased by northern gentleman
who intends to erect cotton factory
there. We are pleased to see this
start /; and now, since the ''ice is
broken" we hope that our resources
will be rapidly developed, for in the
vicinity Of Camden there is located
several of the best waterpowersin in the
State, and it requires very little capi-
tai, comparatively to bring them
under perfect control.

The Population of Camden.

LIE OpuidCAOh "a
In the Ncws and Courier Of the
18th inst, we notice list of the cities
and towns in this State and the
number of inhabitants accredited to
each. Camden stands fourteenth on
that list. whereas it ought to, by
right, stand fifth. Kirkwood is as
much q part of Camden (and was a
part of the town until 1879 as any
other part of the town, as no one
would know, unless the line were
pointed out, where the boundary
was. The streets and squares are
the same as in town. Including
Kirkwood, Camden would have a
population of at least 5000 instead
CT l75O,- the number now given to it.
The report places us in rather a
bad light, and makes it appear that
Camden is Z very insignificant place.
The corporate limits of the town are
inst the same now that they were
125 years ago, when the population
was not more than 800 or 400. The
suburbs are now as thickly settled
as the town itself, enjoying the same
rights and benefits that the citizens
of the town do and should be In
cluded in it's limits.
