Bethel Presbytery met last week at Concord church, near Yonguos villo, in this county. The moeting was full of interest. A cominitttee of ladies inl Winns have collected $27.00 in money, and $27.00 in groceries an d liquors, for the Port Royal sufferers. Judge Korshaw and Solicitor Gaston arrived in Winnsboro on Saturday night, preparatory to the work of court this week. Both arc looking well. The presont term of I.ho court of Common Pleas promisea to be a long one, as a large amount of busi ness is to be transacted. The term may last two weeks. Jurors, possess your souls in pationco. Cotton is lato opening, and an early frost would play havoc. Still some cotton is coming in. On Sat urday a largo number of people were in town, mostly negroos, who seemed to be having a jolly time, regardless of politics and Liberia. The entertainment for the benefit of Mount Zion Institute will tak; placo on Thursday night, at Thespian Hall. It will consist of music, charades and tableaux. Dinner will be served from half-past one to throo. The Histrionic Club will be thankful for any donations sent to the ball on Thursday. We hope the public will patronize liberally. The Tax- Payeir is the name of a new paper started in Orangeburg by * James S. Hoyward, Esq., a gent.le. man of brains and experience It will be Democratic to the core. Orangeburg has had no Democratic paper for some time. Such ani in telligent and wealthy county should e fford ample patronage for a sterling journal, such as the Tax-Paycr promises to be. T he Citizens' Cornet Band serenad * ed the Rev. Dr. Brackett on Saturday evening. The pieces were choice selections, and their rendering was of the highest order. The band is cnstantly improving, and we do not believe, it has a superior in the State. By the way, wvhy do not the mnanagers of the Fair have a musical contest, for bands in the State, with a premium of a hundred dollars for the best ? This would add greatly to the success of that entertainment The Rev. Dr. G. R. Brackett officiated in Scion Presbyterian church on Sunday morning and evening, preaching two most effec tivo sormons.-in the morning from John xix., 41., and in the evening, from Luke xvi., 10. The church was filled on both occas.ions. ])r. 'Brackett has hosts of friends in this, his former charge. He has received a call from the church in Greenville, but his congregation in Charleston will refuse to give him up. Dr. Brackett is one of the ablest divines in the Southern Presbyterian church, On Saturday evening about seven o'clock the fire bell sounded, and here was a general scampering from all over the town to the engine houses. The engine and truck were promptly taken out, but before any further progress was made, the fire, which was in Dr. J. B. McMaster's residence, was ex tinguished. No serious loss was incurred. Both 6nmnn.ne cl,sm.v great credit for their alacrity. But the ringing of !he hell, for momo cause or other, is a failure. It can, not be heard at the fr-cight depot. Som fault lies in the arrangeiment for ringing, or in the rin:er. Th town council should look inlto tho matter, and effl. an improvement. CANVASSIN AGENT.We arep od to stato that (l. Jno. D. Davis has consented to canvass this county in the interest of Tuj. NEWS AND HERALD. Col. Davis is so well known throughout Fairfield that ho ne,ds no introduction to our peoplo. Ho is authorizOd to collect past (ue subscriptions and also to revnivo the names of nOw sublcribe's. WO trust that all those upon wlhoI he may call, will respond favorably. It, has bon the plrlposo of the plliblishcs of tl,; paper to issue a journal that should be worthy of tho confidenceo and support of the p)ople, and wu 110po till to merit both. But con fidenco and moral support alone will not sustain an enterprise in which money is constantly indispensable. The moans of every newspaper must come in a largo mcasuro from its subscription list, and Tiu Ni:ws AN HEnALDn claims to be no exception to the rule. In the matter of advertis-. ing we have no cause for complaint. The merchants of Winsboro adver., tiso lilerally, and reap tho biefits necessarily derived froml such .1 course. What we wn especi'lly i., to extend our subscription-list, and it is with this viow that we have en gaged the services of Colonl Davis. Every man'mi of inftelligeic should subscribe to lis home paper. Let this be dono in Fairfield, and we pledge ourselves to redouble the offetrs we have alre:idy used to make Tnsa NMS AND H1En.mi second in merit to no paper in the Stato. The' sum charged for a year's subscrip tion is very small, for each individu al, while the aggregato is a very considerablo sin. We hope , through the efforts of Colonel Davis, to increase the subscription-list of TIhE NEws AN) HM.-RLn far beyond its present limits. The Circuit, Court. The court convened on Monday morning, his Honor J. 13. Kershaw presiding. The commission of W. H. Korr, as Clork of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions was read, and ordered to be spread upon the minutes. Hlis Honor then proceeded1 to charge tihe grand jury as to their duties. lie called their attention to the different duties resting on them, specially urging tihe importance of secrecy. His Honor next instr uct ed them to look closely into the different public offices, ascertaininv andi reporting to the Court the manner in which tihe dliffron t officials peCrformn their duty. He congratuliated tile grand inury upon01 thle pr'oforni and universal peace no0w pre~vailing, and especiailly upJon1 th(le entire absence of those conflicts between labor and capital which have but recently disturbed the peace of somie of the Nor'therni States. This state of t hings in the South muist havo its effect in at tracting Northern capital to this section--the result of which nmust be to make mfonley miore ab)undantm wvithi us. The graLt trouble with us nowv is the scarcity of money. T1hore is the greate.t uncessity for constant andl increased industry upon tile part of our people. Time man who wastos one hourL of tile day loses one-tenth of his income; One class of off'ences has become very common with us-the lareny of provisions. It is alleged, ini ex tenuation of those crimes, that tile oflenders in uuch cases steal for want .of something to eat. But this is no excuse. Tho seeominu benefit gainoed b)y the thief is moure than counterb)alanied b)y the injury done to the party whloso prop0Jerty is stolen. The p)residing jnd ge hasu boImon requiested to chaurgo the( grand jury on1 tIlo subjet of theo pJhlic schools;. This is a mnatter' of gr'e:lt importance to all the people. H ore, toforo the schools hlave bmeen badly maniaged, and teachlers4, in nmor, Ouls cases, have been totally ill-. competent. ThlCo soomsfl to I>o~ anl improssion thlat anU ilividual who is fit for nothing' else williimake at teachoer. The eixa11minatiomns of teachers shIouldi be more rigidl. In this way the schools will be gronHy imIlproveVd. The Legislature has1 p)rovidedl liberally for the suppori)01t of schools, and b)ttor results may be expected in tile future. Theoro should be no distinlctions in dis, tributing the benefits of public edncation, All the people should enjoy them n.like. Soveral bills wero handod out by Solicil.w. Gaston, and the grand jury re'r *ed for their considerat.ioni. Tho pe-ti:,ion of John Caldvoll Pobertson, for r1-timisfionl to pretico. Was, mh.n,m'i1i1ed b>y COL. Itionl.
