As the result of Fairfield being changed from the fourth to the fifth congressional district, thi boys of this county will have again an opportunity to stand'for a West Point scholar ship, as the present appointee will graduate within the next year. While from a political standpoint it wouldn't be a good policy for this county just coming the district to put forth a andidate, yet from the stand -point of merit there is no re strictioni to a Fairfield boy enter ing the contest and even winning -and here goes hoping that the honor will be won by a Fairfield boy. Full information will, be given in time. in the meantime let the boys who have such mili tary aspirations get a move on them. Mt. Zion s New Pastor. Rev. A. McA.

'I'ff Winnsboro Demoeratic Mnici Club held its annual meetin riday night. In the absenc f the president, Mr. G. H. cMaster, Capt. W. G. Jordan, one of . the vice-presi dents presided. The election of officers was then gone into and resulted as follows: Vice-presi dents, W. C. Beaty and W. G. Jordan; secretary, J. E. Coan; executive committee, J. E. Me Donald, J. Frank Fooshe, B. J. Quattlebaum, J. A. Brice and L. E. Owens. There was no election of president as the club at its meeting a year ago honored Mr. G. H. McMaster by electing him president for life. The election of new members was next taken up, and a number of new names added. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Who is Archie McCoy? Friday a strange white boy made his appearanca in town. Acording to the vision of Police man Gilbert his appearance bore a striking iesemblance to the photograph of a boy in one of those little pamphlets sent out to hiefs of police with its history f crime and runaways and with its offers of rewards, which htter feature policemen take in to such n extent that every stranger whose business is not readily made known is sized up as fitting some one of the photographs. So Winnsboro's chief proceeded to take into custody this wan derer, who gave every evidence that his lungs were good and strong. Fortunately for the boy two members of the bar were passing by at the time and stopped long enough to throw rO*the hint that it was beyond th policeman's province to hold one ~on such an assumption. The Swas turned loose and soon d a friend in Mrs. H. B. Rlefo, wagreed to care for him till he'was provided for in some other way, and so instead of being shut up in a guard-house Archie D. McCoy, for that is the name by which he calls himself. is board ing at a hotel. Archie says he is about 12 years old, and his appearance indicates that this is quite a true statement. He gives Rtockingham, N. C., as his home, and he says.4at he left home on account of the cruel treatment of a stepfather. While the little fellow is apparently of a bright mind, it is pretty evidlent that a good portion of his mental study has been the tricks and sayings of the boys of the street. An elort is being made to find out more about him so that he may be returned to where be belongs, though he seems perfectly at home here in Winnsboro. Great isWinnsboro.4 In the write-up of the Charles ton exposition biy The S.tate's special correspondent, the- fol lowing interesting paragraph is found: "In the minerals and forestry building is an exhibit by the Winsboro Granite company. This exhibit deserves the careful attention of every visitor, es pecially for South Carolina. It is no many yers since that it 3ARGAJNS )R N DAYS T--. OAG'S. Furniture at greatly re prices. SEED.

Call and get & Bryson. was thought impossible for a good piece of granite to be found in South Carolina that could be utilized for any purpose except building the State house in Co lumbia. An inspection of the exhibit above referred to will show what a little industry and push has done, and would clearly indicate the possibilies for a fur ther development for granite re sources within the State. The Winnsboro Granite com pany have- secured the contract for furnishing the granite for the great office building of the Title and Trust company, now being erected corner Board and Sanson streets, Philadelphia. This will be a twenty-three story building, with over seven hundred rooms in it. It certNinly speaks up well for the Winnsboro Granite company, of which Capt. James F. Redding, of Charleston, is the president, -lm-huv e- W1: a contract in an eastern city."' --When Mr. D. B. Lumpkin; of Rocky Mount, S. C., returned from his neighbor's house with some fruit trees and rode up in his front yard, he threw his trees down. His horse became fright ened and threw him. His foot hung in the stirrup and he was dragged some distance over rocks and ro,ots. His left foot was hung in the stirrup and he held to the stirrup with his right hand. All that saved his life was his shoe pullinig in two. It was a strong heavy brogan' shoe. He says he expects to keep it as long as he lives to warn him of danger. He is at home nursing skins and bruises. If he had been a heavy built man he would have been killed before he was dragged ten steps.-Ohester Lan tern. SCHOOL BOOKS.
