The people of Winnsboro, who
had a carnival last week, are very
sore over the matter. They say
they've had their share; that one's
enough.

about $7,000 by the burning of
their gin and gin house, with con
tents, on Sunday morning.

on a coal car he slipped in some way
and was run over and frightfully
mangled.
The property of Larkin M1. Rice,
colored, of Union county, was ad

for $2,500. Rice claimed his hoine

race track at the fair grounds and
$40,ooo in money. There is an
other bequest of $9,000 to be used
by the city for the p)revention of

By a strange coincidence Mr.
