PUBLISHED WEEKLY, -BY WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. J. FRANK FOOSHE, - -- - EDITOR TInMS, IN ADVANCE: One Year,......................... $1.50 s1x:louths.................... .75 WINNSBORO, S. C. nesday, February 1 , - 1902 e are pleased to see that ident Lyles of the Fairfield 'cultural Society has issued a for a meeting of the Fair Id Agricultural Society. We trust that at this meeting the necessary steps will be taken to hold the county fair this year. A bill is before the legislature providing for the consolidation of several of the smaller railroad systems in the State and giving the Southern the privilege to lease them. We can see no ob jection to such a coisolidation provided it is effected in such a way that rates can not be raised and that better accomrmodations can be had. This is President's Day at the Charleston exposition, but Presi dent Roosevelt can not be there as he is at the bedside of his son Theodore whose condition at the time of the latest reports was very critical. While the presi dent's failure to attend at this time will be greatly deplored, es pecially by a large number who had already gone on so as to be at the exposition while he was there, yet all greatly sympathize with him in the providential in terference that keeps him back. It is hoped that he will yet be able to attend the exposition. The secret 9f the unconstitu tionality of so many of South Carolina's laws is out at last. A coon has been found in the State house, and its tracks have even been seen in the engrossing de partment, where iti chief delight seems to be the scratching out the constitutional element in all bills of importance. It shows its wisdom in overlooking such in significant bills as have to do with lheu-scratching, for with these left out the senators would have nothing to scratch on~ af~heabout. BDtter kill t) coon, or set one that lk simpler diet 4x cocoanut of suc bills a our whole jury system. Might perish it out by having biennial sessions. According to a hair-splitting ruling of that absolute Monarch, Mr. Madden, of the postoflice de partment at Washington there is such a great difference between a paper marked "extra" and one marked "supplement" that the former enjoys all the privileges of second class mail while the latter goes as regular printed matter at a cent for every two ounces. In accordance with this9 arbitrary ruling the Newberry Herald and News' "extra" was admitted to the mail while the Observer's "supplement". was de barred from the second class privilege. This incident caused the latter paper to make a seve criticism of the p ostoffice autho ri ties, whose part was taken up by the former paper. This began a controversy that was~ ended by blows between editors Aull and Wallace last Saturday evening. tlossy Dale Items.

The guests begain to arrive before suudown an.l con tinued to come in until 9 o'clock. There was only standing room for the crowd. Miss Sallie Ruif and Miss Adalaid Brooks enter tained the crowd with delightful m-usic on the guitar and Mr. George Ruff and Mr. Pope Brooks made some fine music on their harps. There was a disappoint ment in the violinists not getting there. The supper was furnished in a novel way-in boxes arranged for two. The ladies' names were placed on the boxes, with (upli care numbers to correspond. The gentlemen paid a quarter for the box corresonietth supper. So there we6 many surprises when the boxes were disposed of. There being no table arrangements, everyone had to seek their own convenience and they were eating all over the house. There was also a guess ing contest and fortune telling. A young lady impersonated a queen, who was Miss Jennie Lee Gibson. There were nineteen proper guesses out of twenty-six. The prize was a very nice cake, very beautifully dressed, which was cut up and passed to the successful guessers. Miss Sallie Ruff impersonated Madam Jabelle in the department of fortunes. She was very highly compli mented on her peculiar fitness for the occasion. The proceeds amounted to fifteen dollars. Misses McMeekin and Ruff desire to extend their thanks for the presence of so many friends and for their very liberal patronage. They promise another entertain ment in the near future. I learn from a recint' letter from Corp. J. A. McKinscry, Co. C, 27th Regt. Iuf. U. S. R., that they will leave for the Philippine Ilands on the 20th of this ponth. They seem to rejoice at the change, for they are tired of duty in the States. The snow was three feet deep at Columbus on the 4th when he wrote.

The constant itehing and burning make life intolerable. No position is comfortable. The torture is unceasing. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles at once. For skin diseases, cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds of wounds it is unequalled. J. S. Gerall, St. Paul, Ark., says: "From 1865 f suffered with the protruding, bleeding piles and could find.!nothing to help me until I used DeWittys Witch Hazel Salve. A few boxe mpletly cured me."
