The following were in attendance: Misses Genie A nderson, Eunice Bacot, Ellen Bookhardt, May Chappell, Berta Durham, Grace Hinnant, Bessie McMaster, Bessie Milling, Emily Obear, Kittie Patrick, Nannie Phinney, Lottie Gray Rabb, Mattie Sitgreaves, Lenmie Tribble, Messrs. J. T. Gettys, J. E. Henry, and S. R. Sterling. The next meeting will be held the last Saturday in March. This signaturo is on every box or the genuine L458(ive Br0omo0-Quinio1 Tableta tb a &Mt -...es an o e a Not Dry Yet, The 21st of last May will long be remembered in this section as one of the wettest that ever came this way. The rainfall that day. was 6} inches. As significant as are these figures, they are not near so impressive as the state ment of a witnes3 on the stand in a case connected with that day, who when asked if a certain coat which was in evidence to illus trate how the clothes were dam aged was very wet said: "Yes, sir, they were very, very wet. All the damp isn't out of this C )at yet." Of course it is need less to add that the court room was soon filled with laughter. That Dispensary Robbery. Last week's issue of The News and Herald contuined a short note of the robbery of the Winns boro dispensary. Later in the week a conversation between Charlie Hagler and another negro was overheard, in which Charlie implicated himself. Charlie was then arrested and made a full and open confession, implicating several other negroes. The fol lowing additional arrests were made: Bill Crawford, John Young, Ollie Mcllwain, Willie Johnson, Reuben James, Bill and Frank Johnson. A preliminary was given them Monday and Tuesday, but at the time of going to press Magistrate Cathcart had not completed his examination of all the evidence. At least two and possibly more will be bound over to court. Court Proceedings. In the case against the South ern Railway Company for re fusing to accept certain excur sion tickets on a day later than they were regularly sold, the jury found a verdict for the defendant. Wednesday the case of Henry Sonneborn & Co. of Baltimore vs. the Southern Railway Co. came up, and occupied most (f the day. This was a suit f< r damages on the part of the plain tiff against the defendant for allowing one of the plaintiff's traveling salesman's trunks to be cposed in a heavy rain, and their contents to be greatly dam aged. The jury found for the plaintiff $550. In a similar case on the part of H:arzberg Co. of i, Baltimore the jury found a ver ict for $250.. A non-suit was entered in the ase of Yongue vs. W. B. Rabb & Co. In the case of Hipp vs. Doty the jury found for the defendant. This was the last jury case. Several other cases were argued before his Honor, Judge Watts, I Friday and Saturday. The court adjourned Saturday aftetrnoon. Time Extended. The town ha~s again followed the example of the State in the matter of taxes and exteided the time for payment of same to March 31st. As there can be no further extension in the time for the payment of the State and county taxes it is hardly probable that the municipal authorities will make any further extension. While these extensions are of ten times a favor to tax payers, they sometimnes go hard on the county and town. Just at this time as a result of this extension of the time, the county is having to borrow money to meet its claims, which are to'be paid out of the taxes when they are collected. As the school taxes are collected along with other taxes, some of the districts have no money to their credit and so the teachers are paid in certificates that have to be discounted. Premium List Adopted. The executive committee of the Fairfield Agricultural Society met Saturday in response to the president's call, and transacted much business of importance. The premium list of last year was adopted in full with a fewv addi tions and some slight variations, 1all of which can be seen in the next issue of The News and Herald which will contain the new list in full. The superiu tendents of the various depart ments were appointed as follows: Field crops, Hugh S. Wylie; household department, which is divided into four groups instead of one as heretofore, Mrs. H. A. Gaillrd, Mrs. W. A. B3eaty, Mrs. W. C. Beaty and Mrs. J. N. Center; fine arts department, which was also subdivided, Miss Mary Witherow, Mrs. G. A.
