What is the Matter ?

Time and again we have given
notice from the officers of the diff
ferent military companies in Ker-
shaw county calling upon the mem
bers of their respective companies
to meet and make some prepara-
ton for participating in the un
yelling of the monument on June
Goth, but thus far not single com =
pany in the county has answered
the call. We think it is rather q
severe reflection upon the young
men of the county that for such an
occasion as the one mentioned we
cannot get up any home military
companies to participate in the ex-
ercises but have to send to other
towns for soldiers to do honor to
the occasion Our young men ap.
pear to be dead to everything that
savors of the marshal spirit and seem
to have no more pride or enthusi>
asm in such matters than if they
never heard of the valarous deeds
of our fallen heroes. We think it
would be almost as easy to arouse
the dead themselves Us to awake
any spirit of enthusiasm in our
boys of the present day. Of course,
we do not condemn all of them, but
we mean the majority.

The Visiting Military.

Col. H. K. Dubose, Chairman of

received notice from q number of
the military companies who have
been invited to participate in the
ceremony Of unveiling of the Con-
federate Monument in Camden on
June Goth, notifying him that they
intend to he here on that day. They
are as fellows: The Darlington
Guards, of Darlington; Sumter Light
Infantry of Sumter Edisto Rifles,
of Orangeburg; Governors Guards,
Richland Volunteers, Columbia Fly
lug Artillery and the Richland Light
Dragons, all of Columbia; Gordon
Light Infantry, of Winnsboro; Ca
rolina Battalion, OF Charleston; and
the Claremont Troop, of Cinremont,
It is probable that several other
companies not yet heard from will
accept the invitation. Excursion
trains will he run over the S. G. r.

Homicide.

Homlcioe.
On Sunday last, about 1 o'clock
in the day, Adam Dow and VIM.
Hampton, both colored, met on the
plantation of Mr.. Thos. L Boykin,
about tivs miles below Camden, and
Hampton attempted to carry out a
threat he had made to thrash Dow
wherever he met him. It appears
that Dow was prepared for the fray,
though he retreated when Hampton
struck him. Dow continued to rev
treat for some distance, Hampton
following him up and striking him,
when Dow drew a pistol and tired
three times. The last shot passed
through Hampton's heart. killing
him almost instantly. Dow came on
to Camden and surrendered himself
to the Sheriff, and is now III jail

and they are not surprised at his

Hard on our Young Men.

During,a conversation last week
about the re, organization of the
kershaw Guards, gentleman re-
marked that las whole, the young
men of Camden were too lazy to even
get up q base ball club. much less a
military company" This is pre',y
hard on our boys. but, if we are to
Judge of them by their acts, the re-
mark was not very much out of place
We think it is rather a reflection
upon our young men that a sufficient
number cannot be found in the
whole town and it's vicinity to form
a decent military company. They
do not exhibit much of the spirit of
their ancestors, and appear to have
arrived at that stage when nations
begin t6 F5t70gade amigo to decay.
We do not mean to say that they
are so worthless, but th:t is the way
it appears to be drifting

tho house of j. Calvin Jemison, a mon.

About $50 o'clock o long row OF carr
riages, wagons, buggies, etc, con.

and their invited guests started out
from Hampton Square on their way
to the grounds. A wagon containing
the Kershaw Cornet Band took the
lead and discoursed sweet music
while on the road. Arriving on the
grounds. the crowd scattered in all
directions, each one seeking that
pleasure which best suited them.
Some fshed in the pond, some hunt,
ed for water lilies and other wild
flowers, while others were content to
rove through the woods or rest un'
der the shade Of the trees and pass
the time in pleasant conversation.
Swinging, rope jumping, etc, were
also enjoyed by the little folks.
About two o'clock the announce
ment was made that dinner was
ready, and the picking of old nick
seemed to be enjoyed by every one.

Revolutionary Relics.

ReVolutlOn6ry heliCS.
We have seen many articles re.
Gently in our exchanges about relics
of the Revolution of 1776. 1t is
we'll known to all of our people that
Camden was point of much impor-
tance in those days and was alter.
nately held by the opposing armies,
several battles having occurred in
it's immediate vicinity. AS relics of
that grim and savage war for in
dependence we now have in Camden
a number of the cannon used in the
siego of Camden by the British in
1881. Several of these old guns,
after having been spiked and dis
mantled, have been buried in the
ground. muzzle upwards, as land'
marks for the town, while others are
doing duty as corner posts. ETC.,
around the streets, while one has
been mounted on an old pair Of
wheels. new touch hole drilled in
it. and is used for firing salutes on
public occasions. Besides these,
there are many old cannon balls and
bomb shells about here that were
used at tina. tirno.
There arc also two old earthTork
forts in the lower portion Of the
town that we're built by the British
during the siege. A portion Of one
of them is still in pretty good state
of preservation But of all the relics
of those grim days of war the old
Cornwallis house $50 called because
Lord Cornwallis made his headquar'
tars there during his occupation OF
the town. WAS most prixed by OUT
people. Many legends of dark and
bloody deeds were said to be con
nected with it's history during those
trying days. This old relic was de
stroycd by Sherman's army in 1868
and is now remembered only by tic
older citizens.
We think a very interesting collec
ton of Revolutionary and Indian
relics might be gathered together
around our town and kept for the
amusement of future generations, to
show them what our forefathers had
to contend against in their efforts to
defend their homes from the Indian
and the British.

of damage was done to cotton, pota-
