TERMS, IN ADvANCE: One Year,.............................5 Six Months....................... .. .75 WINNSBORC. S. C. Tacsday. February 19 - - 1901 The pension fund is to be $150, 000. The legislature a d j o u r n e d Saturday. The most aggressive nation of the world is Mrs. Nation of Kansas. Tie appropriation of $100,000 to the public schools was snowed under in the Senate. The mcmbers of the General Assimbly have voted themselves the privilege of free passes. Mrs. Nation in her work of de dtroing the saloons has over looked the fourth commandment. A good argument for the re moval of the jail is the fact that in cases of change of venue more than one prisoner has expressed a desire to be removed to the Fairfield jail where the people could be seen. Even the most earnest advo cates of prison reform would never.advocate such leniency as h4rseback riding towards the ones hel for -exen - the slightest ffence. When it comes to prison reform Fairfield's sheriff is away in the lead. Hon. Jno. G. Wolling regiests us to state that had hc beei present at the time dhe child labor bill was voted on, he wouli have voted asainst it. He barel; missed the vote on the same, anc this was due to the vote bein called sooner than expected. For the next two weeks at leas the town council might have th sidewalks kept free from dr should not be temp~ted to brin ~the ?eity-'fithers up for contemi of court. - A Mr. Dunni.ng brings heai charges against South Carolina junior senator. He not on] claims to have written some < Mr. McLaurin's greatest speechel but he brings a claim againm him for not having paid for tb same. McLaxirin will not delive the speeches of anybody in th United States Senate after Marc the 4th, 1903. For fifty cents a day-or pe: hapsa doll ar-a peddler of chea shoddy-wares (that is the usus * kind) can get the privilege froz the town council of selling h: wares on~the streets. The tow caigessily afford to do withot thesall pittance raised in thi way. If street venders are to b lilensed, let the license be heav~ enough for them to feel it and t protect the merchants of the towz Make it prohibitory. As already suggestedl the meet ing called for March the 4t should be well attended. In ad dition to the discussion as to county exhibit, the questionc good roads might come in.for coi sidgrale discussion. Certaini is that the solution of all rura problems is* going to be in th~ 3matter~ of roads. With goo, roads the lening of the count; will eease; with the roads as a present and..getting worse all th while from neglect the rural dis tricts are bound to show a d 6 crease in copulation. * The next two weeks the at V tention of the citizens of Winus boro is likely to be much occu pied with court, and before th court is well adjourned our mu nicipal election will be upon us Yet the people have not decide< whether the- election shall be b; a primary or club. There is ni mistake about the fact that th club peculiarly belongs to th past. The sentiment of the tow: is in favor cof discontinuing ii But if" nbody acts things wi. move on~in the same old way an the election will be held contrar to the wishes of the majority. Several counties in the Stat have set Fairfield a fine examp] in having acts passed providin - for the sale of their old jails s that new ones migM be iit i nore suitable quarters and in a nore suitable way. Fairflild zertainly needs to take this step. A quarter of a century ago an act was pagsed providing for the sale )f the jail. The same act would aot be of any service to-day as the minimum amount specified is ireater than the real value of the property. Another act therefore will have to b3 passed looking to this desired end. The grand jury should take the initiatory step'by condemning the present property and recommending the purchase of a suitable site for the erection of a new jail. The meeting of the farmers called for the first Monday i March should be well attended. The object of the meeting is such a one that every citizen of the countg should feel a deep interest. County pride should prompt every one to come out and con tribute what lie can towardc making the exhibit - of the county at the State fair and the Charles ton exhibition a most creditab4 one. Chester has chellenged th State as to a county exhibit, anc as we are the nearest to her; it'i our duty to accept her dare. I is no boast at. all to say tha whe'n it comes to natural re sources we can easily outstri] her. Certainly with united actioi Fairfield can easily outdistanc the county of Chester. That is a terrible condition c things that has been unearthed i Anderson county where a syster of slavery practically exists, an it is to the credit of the Hon. Jn< G. Wolling of *Xairfield that th matter has been brought to publi notice. Upon the floor of ti house in discussing the presei contract system he declared -thf such .a condition of things di exist in some counties, citi Anderson as as illustration. TI county papers took it up and ti exposure has been made so con plete that Judge Benet hi ordered a special term of cou: for March 7th to make a fnll ii vestigation as to the same. TI system alluded to is well illu trated in the case of the State v Newell charged with murder, : which it was developed that Ht t had been killed while in Newel a stockade, that he wa yas a convict, bu .o e casebhefor.e th'f grand ju2 Sthe presiding jadegtemarked: g It seems that~ i was charg >t by Newell with violation of labor contract; that Newell swc out a warrant for his arrest befc y Magistrate Jamea J. Gilmer; t1 ' the magistrate issued the warra: y placed it in the hands of New >as a deputy,.and that Newell tb 3, deputized and accompanied b2 st sheriff's constable, Dl'ha e went to the home of WillHul a r arrested him. It appears il e they did ndt take him to jail, a h so, far as the testimony sho that was the end of the process the law. Instead of being tab -to jail, as he ought to have bet P under the warrant of arrest, lsome strange procedure he w n taken to Newell's stockade, wh .s it seems that Newell had some nconvicts at work on his farm.E t gentlemen, here was a poor neg s taken from his wife and childr e under a pretext of arrest. TI Y machinery of the law was used 0 seize him, take him from his ho) - and put him in a convict's stoc ade and work him like a conv without process of law. He ws under no sentence of the court, had not been tried. The tes amony showed that he was guard a ieconvict made to labor li a covictandtreated in all Sspects like a convict. And inde the manner of his death wou 1seem to inidicate that -itiias in eeffort to leave this convict cat athat he was shot as a felon mig Sbe shot in endeavoring to esca the sentence of the law. Genit] e men, this is a serious matter, a: I charge you that it is your du to make a thorough investigati< of this case. You will bring b fore you the magistrate thati -sued the warrant and the co -stables that executed it. Y< have the power to send f -persons and papers and you w only be doing your duty in ma ing a thorough investigation ai reporting upon this treatment Will Hull. eA contract practically as bindi1 e as slavery was next read. - T: a case will probably bring to lig .a great sensation, for which IV jWolling will deserve the cret of the first public notice of it. 7 Pepsin prepara ions ('ue,, fail to i lieve indigenluon arcause they on u gest only albuminoua jee,da.

If the weatber continueq fair until Monday, the land will then, in ill' probability-, be suffi ciently dry to commence plowing. We think the amount f feitilizers used tbisiyear willi.far exceed that of any pry.ious year; at least there -has been more hauled from market'ap -to date, than usual. We hope, h.jwever, this does not mean an exceisive cotton crop. We hope and trust that our farmers will endeavor hereafter to raise their supplies at home; then they will be independent and happy. Small gria is net looking well. More grain was town here last fall than'usual. It will soon- be time to commence gar dening. There was a valentine party at Mir. D. W.
