There was a mistake in the list o premiums awarded to Fairfield ex hibitors at the Fair. Major Wood ward was mentioned as having having taken a prize for a mare and colt, When it was in fact Mr. Joseph Reynolds who obtained it. The mare and colt were entered by Major Woodward for Mr. Reynolds, and the clerk of the Suciety made the mistake. THE LEISLATURE.-The Legisla turo convened at 12, in., on Tuosday. No business of importance was transacted. In the Senato, Swails, of WilliamF burg, presented his resignation, and it was accepted. Tho usivd messages were sent to the House and the governor. The newly elected senators were sworn in, and took their soati. Josephus Woodruff presented his resignation as clerk of the Senato, to take effect as soon as his successor should be chosen. In the House, the newly elected members wore swoni in, and took their seats. The custernary mos~ sages were sent to the Senate and the governor- Mr. Dibble, of Orangoburg, introdacod a concur, rent resolution to extend the time for the sale of delinquent lands until the 1st day of January, 1878, which was adopted. The governor's message was presented yesterday. DELAY IN THIE IIAILs.-The Regis. ter says of T HE NEws5AND HERALD:i "It is exceedingly rare for us to get the paper in loss than twenty-four hours." Why this is, we (do not know. The inflexiblo rule of the p)ostnmaster here is to close the mail at 8 o'clock ini the evening. We al. ways try to get our packages in the office at that time, but sometimes miss it, and then, of course, our papers lie over for twenty-four hours. Of late we have frequently been put to serious trouble owing to the early hour at which the mail closes, but have preferred to make no com plaint. In truth, however, we do think eight o'clock an unreason ably early hour for the mail to close '-it being flye hours before the arrival of the southern-bound trrain, and seven hours before the arrival of the northernsbound. Ten o'clock would be none too late ; and we are sure that hour would suit business men and all much bettor. We do not find fault with our worthy post master, nor do we question his right to fix his own hours. But it is hard for us to be put behind twenty-four hours, in consequence of a tardiness of a fewv minutes. Of course we get our papers in as a faivor, but we believe in system, and when a man has his rules we dislike to ask a departure from them. The remedy for the difficulty lies in fixing the hour for the mail.olosing a little later-say nine or half--past nine in winter, and ten or half-.past ten in summer. What the Register says about the recent four days' delay is strictly correct. But this is due solely to the mismanagement and want of aoomimodation of the cor nation at -whose meoroy we hav boon for somo years past-sinco Mr. Nowcomer and his friends took chargo of things. Therc is no rea son why the trains shoul( not havo run reglarly, sinco Satur'lay at leatst, betweun August% and( Che.qtor. But Imaybo it wouldn't pay Mcsrs. Newcomer and Company, so wo have had to do without letters, papers and all mail matter. Notes From Ridgoway. RIDGEWAY, November 24.-The "Moisoe Light Artilloxy" is the name adopted by the firat artillery com. pany raised in Fairfield since the dark and loworing clouds which followed Reconstruction have been swept from our political horizon. This company (or rather two sec tions of a company) was organized recently at Ridgeway. The organi. zation is on the high road to suc cess, having elected good and energetic mon to office, and as far as we know perfect unity prevails, which is so necessary to success in any body. The captain, Chas. E. Thomas, deserves a great deal of credit for the perseverance he ex. hibited in raising this company, and his untiring labor for its success. The other officers are Lieutenants P. DI. Spence and P. E. Cloud, Sergeant R. H. E dmund s, Jr., and Corporal l. L. Cooper. The Hampton Rifle Guard are also progressing and at present are negotiating for unifor;ms which we hope to have by the March inspec tion, when, with our infantry and artillery, we will give the Boro a close raco for the championship of Fairfield. Cotton is opening very slowly,and consequently farmors are growing proportionttely "blue" at the pros pect of a short crop, little money and hard ti mes. We wore quite chamned at the "fair" exhibits from Winnsboro, at the capital last week, having had the pleasure of joining them at this point. "And when next thoy"--go to the fair "May we bo there to pev." C. TiE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUcATIO.-Maj. H. S. Thompson the Sttu Superintendent, has kind ly accepted an invitation to be in Winnsboro on Saturday, in behalf of the schools of Fairfiold, He is thoroughly in earnest in his work of reforming old abuses, and getting the schools well to wvork ; and he is satisfied that ho will suc ceed provided he secure the hearty co-operation of the people, One of the principal ends to be accom plished is the securing of competent teachers. The State Superintend emnt will give his views on that subject. It is of importance that every one desirous of teaching next year should meet him and hear what he has to say. It is the desire of the County Board of Examiners, if possible, to organize a training school, or institute, in Winnsboro, during the month of December, in whichi parties may have an opportunity of acquiring 01' renewing information. If a sufflcient number of persons will signify an intention of entering this institute, it will be opened at no expense to the ,State or County. Students will be at no cost for in struction. Their only outlay will be in maintaining themselves while in attendance. A month's review of the elementary branches, with hints on the best methods of conducting a school and imparting instruction, will be of vast benefit, far more than compensating them for any expense incurred in attendance. In this way, the "examination" will be shorn of many of its terrors. It is sincerely hoped that teachers and applicants will avail themselves of the opportunity offered. The feasi bility of establishing this institute will be thorougly discussod on Saturday ; and for this reason, all teachers are requested to be present. Superintendent Thompson is an ofleer of ability, a genial gentleman and an instructive speaker. He should meet wvith a warm welcome. The inelemenmcy of the weather last week is the reason he was Dot in Winnsboro on Saturday, the C3oun-. ty Board of Ecaminers deeming it best to postpone his visit a we4k. The Supenn' tendant will be here on Saturday morning, and the meet; ina wil be held4abant nina dataQak NPE(JAL NOTICES. Nxt MAUrTA, GA. March 21, 1870. Aessrs. im.
