The New Bridge.

1uC SS" oAANSN
The charter for the new bridge
over the Wateree near Camden has
been granted by the Legislature,
and it is probable that it's construc'
ton will be commenced as soon as
summer comes, as the water at that
time is lower and more favorable for
rapid work upon the piers. We
hope by next fall to see the structure
completed. It will be of great bene>
fit to our town, and a great con
venience to the citizens OF West
Wateree, as IL will enable them to
come to town at any time, and all OF
the bad and muddy roads they have
to travel over now will be avoided.

A Bad Bridge.
We have often before called the
the attention of cur County
Commissioners to the very unsafe
condition of the bridge over the
canal leading to Chesnut's mill, just
belcv Camden, and the only thanks
we ceived was in curses and abuse
for { neddling with matters that
did ! t concern u.s." Now, it hap
pens that only q few days since a
gentleman was driving over this
bridge (rery substantial stractureD
when it gave way and came near
throwing the horses, vehicle and all
into the deep water below. If the
vehicle had gone through, it is very
probable that some Of the occupants
would have been drowned, then our
county whould have been heavily
taxed for years to come to pay for
.she damage sustained Whereas, II
the Commissioners would do their
duty it would not cost us cent, be
cause the canal is a private affair,
and by an order from the Com
Missioners the owner can be neate to
put q good and substantial bridge
over it, thus rendering it safe for

THE PEACH HARVEST.

On the whole promises to be large
in the noted Peach districts. With.
in few years, many have planted
Peach orchards in localities not here.
tofore regarded as ''Peach regions" !"
and these will probably market their
first crop this year. Comparative
novices will have to compete with
experienced growers, and must con-
form to established customs. Crates
for sending Peaches long distance
are preferable TO baskets. The stan
dard crate consists of two ends and
middle-piece of 3-inch stuff.
These pieces are u by IA inches.
For each side of the crates, use four
pieces, 81 inches wide, and 23d
inches long; for the top and bottom
each, one piece 81 inches wide, and
2s4 inches long, the sides, top, and
bottom, Of a-inch stuff: The strips
should be we'll secured to the end
and center-pieces by nails. If the
crates are to 60 long distance, a
strip should be nailed across the top
and bottom at each end; this, when
they are stacked upon one another,
will allow of sufficient ventilation.
In packing peaches, more care is re-
quired than with any other fruit; a
single over-ripe Peach will spoil the
sale of a crate. Hence, Peaches, as
they are picked, should he turned
out upon table or bench, and care
fully examined; every one that may
become soft before the fruit will be
sold, should be rejected. In filling
the crates, they should be SO full as
to require some pressure to bring
the top to its place. Assert the
fruit, but let each crate be of the
same quality all through. 1t is Gus
tomary to make three grades, dis
tinguishing the "extra" by "twig-
ging,"-that is, by placing leafy
twig of the Peach-trse upon the fruit
before the cover is nailed down.
Mark the crates plainly, with the
name Of the consignee and that of
the shipper, and always inform the
commission merchant in advance of
the shipment by letter or by tele-
graph.

The collection and classification of
facts relating to the material progress
Of the people periodically intrusted
to the Census Office, furnish in gener-
al, valuable millestones in the path
way of the nations greatness. How
ever uninteresting to many, tho de-
tails are full of instruction to the
statist. AS the mountain rill, minute
and inappreciable in its source. is
constantly swelled by other streams,
and goes on widening and deepening
in it's course until it is swallowed up
and looses its identity in the ocean,
SO these streams of knowledge, pour
ing in towards common reservoir
from every factory, hamlet, town and
state, appear at length to be merged
in one vast and useless aggregate, de-
void of either individual, local or
general interest. But the great col
lection Of truths which they serve to
swell may bear up tbes lark of a ma
tons hopes and confidence. The re-
suit may form subject Of national
pride and graduation, and may, like
the ocean itself, become impressive to
all nations from its grandeur. The
statistics Of looms, spindles and fac
tories, and of a thousand other in

every form OF national aud individual
happiness, exertion and power.

of spindles was 1880, 1000; of males
employed, $3.50; of females, 3s,o57.
The amount of cotton used was 1884,
$40 bales. Fifty years pass away and
the number Of spindles has increased
to 1o,76e,147. The amount of cot

The number of persons employed is

Tho Horse Disease.

Doctor Detmers says that the horse
disease near Corpus Christi is an
epidemic, though not contagious;
that it is owing to combination of
circumstances which is not likely to
occur in many years.
1st. The horses passed through
the winter in better condition than
usual, and had a plethora of blood
when the sudden warm weather
came, and the system was not pre-
pared for the change.
End. The rains in the spring
caused on excess of pond water.
which, under the influence of the
summer heat, became unwholesome.
These two causes rendered the
stock more liable TO brain diseases
than they would ordinarily have,
been, and the heat produced brain
fever or. meningitis.
He recommends depletion as
preventative, and the removal of all
animals to running or pure water.
Bleed as q preventive only. After
the brain is affected, blister the poll
thoroughly and administer a good
dose of saItpetre. This is all thaf,
can be done in the way OF treat
ment. Te1as LiUe Stock Joegaa@
