since '76
One day last week negro broke into
two or three houses on gentleman's S
place here in broad daylight. In one
of theThouses he was caught by the
negro who lived there, whom he gave
a good beating, took what meal and
meat he wanted and walked over to
another house, near by, ran the man
of the house out, walked in, helped
himself to a gun, shot and powder,
then went of to a nearby swamp and
threatened sudden death to any one
who came within range of the cid
musket. Now, the gentleman's best
and most prolific cotton field lies all
along the swamp, in easy range Of the
deyilisb Old Musket, which is about
three yards long and can sling hand
full of slugs about mile. His hands
won't work now anywhere but in the
middle of the field, and they do not
seem to think that they are safe there.

Claremont, June lS.-A man on Mr..

day. He got away from the man he
was working for and went to his moth

near by, walked in and proclaimed
himself sent by the Lord to burn up
all who lived there. In few seconds
he had full, possession of the place

CAMDEN FIREHEN CONFIDENT.
They are Coming to Sumter With the
Determination to Win.

The last edition of the Camden
Messenger contains the following,
which will he read with interest by
the fremen:
Some time ago it was definitely
decided that the Camden Hose Squad
No. would enter the fremen's IS tourna-
ment to be held in Sumter on the 25th
and 26th of this month. With good
water pressure, a splendid track and
an enthusiastic interest on the part OF
fremen throughout the State, it is
safe to predict that our enterprising
friends in Sumter will make this ap-
preaching contest very interesting
and successful event.
Our team has been practicing some
time for the event. While the absence
of water from the mains may place
them under a slight disadvantage, yet
their practice record is Of such nature
as to insure a decided victory. The
boys realize that their brilliant
achievement at Newberry last year
must remain with them, and in the
event that the record breaking time of
35 seconds is lowered, they are deter
mined that no other team shall carry
off the honors. Feeling this way and
moved by this motive, we believe that
our active and efficient chief, Mr.. b.
L. Watkins, will once moro put out
winning team.
The team TO be taken TO Sumter is
the one that made the famous record
at Newbesry, and is composed Of the
following young men; B. ". Rhame,
huffman and foreman; R. G. Nc
Creight, hydrantman; Jno. F. Jen-
kins, nozzleman; T. B. Wilson and
". NJ. Young, slack pullers; G. A.
Rhame, coupling breaker.
Mr.. B. W.4Rhame, not only skill
ed and expert buttman, but cool and
efficient foreman, is training his men
with great care: The other men can
not be excelled IN their respective
positions, which fact has been SO fully
demonstrated as to make individual
mention entirely, useless.
We sincerely hope that large and
enthusiastic crowd will attend this
contest. At this time of the year
business is not pressing; the distance
is short and the expense of the trip
extremely small. The sport is inno-
cent, useful and highly exciting.
There is nothing that viii help the
team as much as our interest and en-
couragement, and especially that inter
est and encouragement manifested in
the presence of considerable number
of our people to witness the contest.

If you are not a candidate this year
you will be little lonesome, but you
may be happy. You will not be asked
for contribution to carpet churches,
furnish school houses, replace dead
mules and dozen other worthy OBJ
iects. You will not be begged by q
thousand people to lend money from
ten cents up to fifty cents. You will
miss all that by not being candidate.

CONDITION OF The CROPS.
The Weekly Bulletin Of the Uni
ted States Weather Bureau.

Columbia, June 1s.-The following
is the weekly crop bulletin of the
South Carolina section of the climate
and crop service, United States wealth
er bureau, issued by Section Director
j. ". Bauer: -
The average temperature for the
week ending Monday, June Is, was u
degrees, which is slightly below nor
NAL. A maximum of lo2 degrees oc-
Cured at Hodges on the 18th and a
minimum of 50 degrees at Santuc on
the 10th. There was considerable
cloudiness, although the middle of the
week was nearly clear, and the close
was cloudy and rainy. High winds
accompanied the thunder storms of
the 9Th, doing much damage in places.
Beneficial showers occurred on the
9Th, over large portion of the State,
that partially relieved the drought in
the southwestern counties. On the
18th there were showers in. the north
west counties, but they were partial.
Other sections also had showers, but
there were many points that had no
rain until.saturday and Sunday Oath
and 15th), when general rain set in
that covered the entire State, and was
generally heavy. This rainfall is not
reflected in the reports for the current
week, as it occurred after the.maiority
Of the cards were mailed. Hail on
the 9Th damaged crops extensively in
the central and eastern counties, espe-
cially tobacco.
Farm work made rapid progress, and
fields are remarkably clean and well
cultivased. Worms continue to injure
corn, while chinch bugs nearly ruined
some fields Of wheat and corn in the
central counties.
Early corn is being laid by in ine
condition, and is well cared. In some
sections it was suffering for moisture,
and looked yellow, but the recent
copious rainfall will make this portion
of the crop. Bottom and stubbie
lands can now be planted to corn.
Cotton continues to, look we'll, with
only few reports Of damage by lice,
and that the plants are smaller than
usual. Lice are fast disappearing.
The crop is clean and well cultivated.
Blooms are not yet general but the
plants are full of squares. Some re-
port yellow cast, but generally the
plants are dark and healthy. In most
places cotton has fully recovered from
the recent cool weather. Sea island
cotton has improved.
Tobacco is being laid by and topped.
In places it needed rain, which has
now been copiously supplied. Some
was cured during the week, but cut
ting will not be general until next
week. The condition of rice is up to
full average, and June planting has
been nearly finished.
Wheat and oats harvest is about
finished and threshing has been
begun. The yields of both grains are
very poor over the western half Of the
State and from fair to excellent over
the eastern counties.
Melons are very promising and are
beginning to ripen. Canteloupes are
being marketed. Sweet potatoes have
been poor and slips scarce, but trans
planting can now be actively prose
cuted. Peaches and apples continue
to drop extensively, and some of the
former rot as they ripen. Pastures
have been scant. Gardens were nearly
ruined, but have revievd somewhat
recently. Minor crops generally prom
ising.

from attending the church parade Of

came as a result of the Kings pro-
