The Chinese Government has
refused to receive the new United
States Minister, HENRY W. BLAIR,
and has notified this Government
accordingly. Mr.. BLAIR has been
recalled. Poor old Granny! Only
recently he was repudiated by the
people of his own State. Then Che
Republican party, to finally dispose
Of him, decided to ship him to Chi
ma, where they knew his life would
not be worth a penny, but the Chi
nese Government very frankly In
formed the Republican party that
they will not be annoyed with him
He is rapidly assumed the proper
lions Of an elephant on the hands
Of the once grand old party Of high
moral CD ideas.

The President of the Missouri
Alliance, Mr.. U. S. HALL, who is
also labor commissioner for that
State, has emphatically declined
to issue a.call for a convention to
nominate delegates to the third
party convention to be held in Gin
cinnati May 10, upon the ground
that the Alliance, as a body, should
keep out Of politics, according to
the creed of the order, and warns
the leaders that the third party
movement means the failure Of the
Alliance cause.

AT a meeting last Monday Of the
Copiah County Alliance, which is
the banner county of South Mis-
sissippi, q resolution committing
the Alliance to support only sub
treasury candidates for the general
assembly pledged to vote for a
sub-treasury candidate for United
States Senator, was voted down by
an overwhelming majority State
lecturer MoALIsTER, who was
present, startled the members OF
the meeting by charging and offer
ing convincing proof that BURKETT
and MAoUNE made a deal at Ocala,
under which BURKETT was to Sc
cure the adoption of the whitewash
report in consideration Of MA
oUNE's using the national Alliance
organ to bolster up BURKEfg's
senatorial scheme in Mississippi.
The more the sub-treasury measure
is discussed the more apparent il
becomes that it's effect would be
disastrous to the entire country.

GAMBLING houses in Nashville
are being raided this week, much
to the discomfort of the sports,
who are there in large numbers, at

horse owners intimate that they
will withdraw from the races on
this account.

TO-DAY will no doubt be the
greatest labor demonstration ever
attempted before in the history of
the world. In many countries the
demand will be made that eight
hours shall constitute a days work,
and this agitation, now so univer-
sal, is certain to win in the end.

PUBLTC 4CTEON.

The growth and prosperity of a
town depends on its own people
Enterprise at home invites enter
prise and capital from abroad. 1t
is said that health and long life are
promoted by personal activity, and
that the man who rusts in idleness
wears out sooner than he who by
habit, if not by constitutional bias,
has trained himself to life Of CON
slant effort and energy.
The experience Of our American
towns, in every part Of the repub-
lie, affords abundant evidence of
the truth of the proposition that
an industrious and public spirited
people are a city building people.
We should not lose sight Of the fact
that the greatest Of our cities was
once a mere hamlet. Nor should
it be forgotten that the hamlet of
to-day may be the city of twenty
years hence.
These truths pointa moral to the
people Of Camden. They teach us
a lesson of honest ambition to make
our town a city, and suggest the
steps to its attainment. The raw
material is at our doors, and needs
only intelligent application, brave
ly and persistently put forth, to en-
able our hopes to materialize in fru-
ition. Effort, energy, and constant
striving in the direction Of devel-
oping our resources, can but bear
good fruit-if not all we expected,
yet more than we would ever have
gathered by policy of waiting for
something to turn up. Take for
illustration the already ascertained
fact that silver ore exists in this
county, which has been pronounced
by competent assayist to contain
50 per cent. Of pure silver. The
, hills of the Tennessee Ridge is 6
/, vast deposit of brown hematite, US
: ed extensively in the manufacture
of iron, and equal if not superior
:. to that which is being mined il
the vicinity of Sheffield and Birm
iugham, North Alabama. Kaolin
from which porcelain, the fines
species Of earthen ware, is made
; has been discovered in this county
in deposits from 5 feet to 80 fee
thick, and thequantity seems lmos
inexhaustible. Marble is founC
which differs little in its fMenesl
and beauty to the bestmarble quar-
1ied in the United States. Pure
lead, Of the best quality, is founC
= in quantities that would require
years to exhaust the supply. Sup
pose we organize a syndicate fo-
the purpose of developing and util
Z ling not discovering, for we hav,
,, scientific evidence and assurance
l OF their presence our mineral ant
natural resources ? The good re
suits which may flow from such al
enterprise no man can forecast
. But nothing can be surer than tina
| we never, can utilize this materia
if we neyAr try. There is magic il
doing something, in action, in try
ing. During the calm of the quie
summer let our people consider tn
proposition of organizing a syn
dictate to develop some of gu
e resources. Let a beginning be hac
$ Prosperity for Camden will assul
eddy come out of such enterprise

the county since, and, so far, have
alluded all efforts of the officers in
bringing them to account for their
crookedness. Information has been
received, however, that a crowd is
working the same game in West
Tennessee counties, around Paris,
and it is supposed that this is the
same gang that operated around
GAINESVILLE. The parties who did
the work in Montgomery County
were Fletcher, Smitton and Davis.
j. B. Fletcher was the ring-leader,
and is the man who is especially
wanted at GAINESVILLE. The Off
GERS of Montgomery County have
telegraphed all way stations along
the Memphis line of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad in West
Tennessee, and they will catch
them if they can. Two men were
in Camden during the last term of
circuit court selling rights to a
patent fence, but, if we remember
correctly, they claimed to be from
Henry County. However, we have
heard of no crookedness of a sim
liar character in this county.
---T--
NEARLY all the public highways
leading into Camden we're in an al
most impossible condition during
the entire winter. The roads are
in very little better condition than
they were twenty-five years ago.
yet look at the vast amount Of labor
and money which has been expend-
ed on our roads, apparently to nc
advantage, and just so long as we
practice the old click -and-a-prom-
Use" method of improving roads,
their condition will remain the
same perhaps even worse. Not
outstanding railroads are great
advantage to town, yet fifty miles
of gravel roadsbuilt out from Cam
den would be worth more to the
town and county that any three
railroads that could be projected
at this time. We hope the com
missioners Of Benton County will
take the matter in hand, and il
they only succeed in building 6
quarter of mile. of gravel roaC
each year, it will be good whel
completed, and it would only be
matter of q few years when there
would be a system Of frst-clas'
highways all over the county.

The rumor that the contract had
been let to build the Paducah, Ten
nessee, and Alabama Railroad from
Paris to Hollow Rock is doubtless
a fake. The Jackson Wing is au-
thority for the statement that the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, re-
Gently purchased by Chicago capt.
talists, will be built from Middle
ton, Miss, to the gulf. They will
also build branch from Middle
ton via Jackson to Paris and there
connect with the Paducah, Tennes-
see, and Alabama Railroad In
the event that this company also
controls the Paducah, Tennessee,
and Alabama Railroad, and the
above report is correct, then this
will be the route adopted by the
latter road, and Camden and Hol-
low Rock will not be sin it"

venerable colored man, died on Friday, OF heart
trouble and dropsy, al his home on Mile Square
Farm, where he was in the employ OF Mr..
George Ford. He was in the 65th wear of his

the lead with hay. His timothy is as thick as
hay ever grows, and stands as high as d cows
back. Ii will cut 215 tons per acre. His toma-

good farmer. His farm is neat and well-kept.
Indeed, it is model farm.
Capt. Marion Malcolm left Havre de Grace,

July 16.-Last Saturday, 18th, was a gala
day for the pupils of the Darlington Academy,

The Susquehanna, noted for its picturesque
beauty, Is nowhere more beautiful than here.
After resting here for a few moments we re-
turned to the boat and started for home.
Refreshments had been thuughtfully provid-

Singing did much to enliVeu the occasion.
Prof North and Miss Marian Andrew presided
at the organ, and Miss Lizzie Richey accompan-
led on the violin.
REGULATIONS were delivered by Miss Fannie
Hopkins and g. E. Day.
AS we neared Glen Cove three rousing cheers
were given Mr. Smith and thus ended one of the
most enjoyable pic mics which we ever had the
pleasure of attending.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.-
Science mas proven Catarrh to be constitution
al disease, and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Hairs Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
