The Winnsboro News and Herald
says "Correspondents of newspaper
arc still discussing who saved the
State. Every one in the State from
Governor Hampton down to the
humblest citizen who rode on horse
hack or kept his place in the lino or
obeyed his club president's orders to
host of his ability deserves equal cred
it. It look' just a fraction over nine
ty-two thousand men to save the
State. And they did it, and no one
class of men can claim all the hon
ors." Thais our opinion exactly.

Congressman John Kcnna, Demo
erat, of West Virginia, saw an ex
hausted negro struggling in the river
a few days ago, and, swimming out to
the man, saved him. This way South
ern Democrats have of bulldozing the

pass, when a negro can't even enjoy
the luxury of getting drowned with
out some bull-dozing Democrat inter
fering with him.
Mn. IS. W. M. Mackey, the defeat

the last election, was in our town on
Monday and Tuesday last busily tak

for the purpose of inducing the next

donation of 810,000, because, for
sooth, he was a victim of Democratic

An exchange in a neighboring town
contains an account of a sad affair.
It says that a certain man in that
town who has never advertised was
found dead under his counter where
he had been lying fur two days* lie
was accidentally discovered by a
small boy who went lo get a nickel
changed. As he had never advertis
ed, people had forgotten where his
stoic was, and hence nobody happen

TllE Grand Lodge of the Masonic

Mr. Sharp, an octogenarian survivor
of the war of LSI 2, tried it at Chicago
the other day, and when he ? got
through expatiating upon the deplor
able condition of affairs in the solid

"Oh, we'll get along all right down
there when a new generation springs
up, and when we begin to have a Hi

Oun police force is small, scarcely
sulllcienl to preserve the peace of the

our citizens should be prompt in
lending them all Ihe necessary aid
required on occasions of emergency.
Five watchmen cannot keep an eye
on every portion of the town both
day and night, and to make their la
bor efficient will need the exercise of
greater care and more ready assist

at unusually high rates?indeed low

of such sales, the transactions of Mon

The Anniversary of the Elliott
Hook and Ladder Company occurring
this year on Sunday was celebrated j
in the Baptist church by an eloquent
sermon from Kev. T. W. Mcllichamp
to a large and appreciative audience.
The services were eminently appro
priate and the discourse was one of |
the best ellbrts hoard on such occa
sions. The only circumstance lo
mar tho enjoyment of the occasion
was the absence, o*n account of the
death of his mother, of Rev. O. A.
Darby, who was appointed to assist
Mr. Mcllichamp in conducting the
exercises. The KHiolls completed the
colcbiation of their Anniversary at
their hall last night by a magnificent
supper and the usual toasts and
speech making. During the enjoy
ment of such hospitality and liberal
cheer, one can but wish that annivov
sartcs last always. Wc hope the Fl- j
liotts and their friends may enjoy
many similar occasions and live to
be a fixed and controlling institution
of our growing town.
While it is sad to register the
death of the young just budding forth
in the morning of life, it is sadder j
still to record that of a mother who has
traveled the entire day to its evening
hours performing well every duty and |
meeting bravely every responsibility j
of life. About such a one associa- j
lions cluster that aie haul to give up j
and will linger in grief about the of-j
fcclions of Hu bereaved or.es long |
after the bell has been tolled and the j
funeral services have been read.
This may truly be said of Mrs. .Mary j
A. Summers, who died at the resi-l
dence of her son, Dr. J. \V. Summers,
in St. Matthews, on Sunday evening !
last. The circumstances of her death
arc as strange as they arc sad?a lit- j
tic blister on the foot, caused by a
shoe, and to which blueslone had been j
applied, brought on Ihe disease which j
proved so fatal lo life. Mrs. Sum
mers, in many respects was a model
woman, whose prominent traits ol i
character stamped themselves upon
hoi" children, and may he seen in
them by those stilling qualities which
make up the useful citizen. Her
death is a loss not only to her iintnc- j
diatc family and family connection, I
but lo the entire community in which 1
she lived and lo the church, Metho
dist, of which she was a consistent
member,and whose principles of piety
she reduced to practical living.
A Mammoth Weekly.?Messrs.

TheNtwsand Courier of Charleston,
aro nothing if not enterprising. Not
satisfied with the great success which
The Weekly Neios has had this year,
they are determined to increase its
circulation the coining year by ma
king it still more worthy of patron
age.
One of the great attractions of The
Weclchj Nnos in 1880, will be a sequel
to ,Mrs. Clara Dargan McLean's

ico! "Honor and Arms," and will
doubtless be received with tbe gener
al approval and commendation that
greeted '?The Bloom o' the Pencil.
The Weekly Nervs has heretofore
consisted of fourpnges of nine columns
each, each column being twenty;live
and three-quarter inches in length,
so that all along it lias been of impos
ing size ; but two pages are to be ad
ded on New Year's Day, making The
Weekly News thereafter a paper of |
six pages of nine columns each?each
column twenty-live and three-quarter
inches in length. This is truly a
mammoth paper, and it is as excel
lent in quality as it is immense in
size, so that any of our readers who
desire and can afford a paper publish

could not do belter than to* take The
Weekly News, the price of which has
not been increased, but is still $2 a
