H!STORY OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY WRITTEN BY FORMER CITIZEN (Continued from second page) Means, .1. B. -McCall, P. E. Pearson, Jacob Feaster, Samuel M. Stafford. Per' aps every one of these have been stricken from the "roll of living men!" The venerable Col. William Mc Creight is remehnbered by many. as his long and exemplary life was pro longed to within a few years of the late war. When the feebleness of age prevented him from the activities of outward life, he lived his younger days over again and employed his quiet lh-urs in writing down the his tory of Mount Zion Institute and of the Presbyterian church which sprung from it. There are settlements in different parts of our country, the history of which would be ineresting to the pres ent generation if carefully written, s-ch as Ridgeway, Feasterville, Long town, Monticello. Rocky Mount. Con r.ected with the last is a striking page of history almost unknown to the present generation. The beamiful scerry of that rpg'on and its fine wator-power very early attracte(d at tention and the Unite-i States gov ernment started an establishment there on a large scale. General Dearborn, secretary of war under Washington, visited the place and laid the cornerstone of the building. An engineer from Europe was sent to di rect the works and the visitor who walks over.the deserted grounds sees nothing to remind him that under a group of trees on the hillside rests the remains of this accomplished man. When the government determined to have military schools this place was mentioned as one of those from which a selection must be made. Among the curious yet baffling "ifs" of history remains the unanswered question if congress had founded a West Point in upper South Carolina what would have been the effect on her history financially, socially. po litically? The location of this Unit ed States establishment on the water is strictly within the limits of Ches ter county, but we have ventured to mRention it here. Th, province of South Caroina as divided into seven preincts in 1769. '7'he precinct of Camden included this and several neighboring counties. In 1785 the Drecinet was divided into seven districts. one of which with the same booundaries has remained to this day as Fairfield. This name first appears in the act of 1785, which di vided Camden precinct. Judge O'Neale inclines to the opinion that Newberry took its name from an ex pression of some delighted settler who described its beautiful hills as being beautiful as "new berry." If this is plausible, then Richland may have a similar origin. Our county may have been suggested by the co'inty of that name in Connecticut. Lying in the finest belt of cotton land this district soon became preeminent ly the cotton planting region. Per-. hans in no district in the South has this great staple been cultivated with mor, energy and success. Gov. Sea.. * brook, in his memoir on cotton, says - the first .cotton gin to run by water who settled on Mill creek, in th, sou thern part of the county. The cotton gins made in Winnsboro have long * had a fhne reputation through the * State. The old plantation system - was worked with energy and zeal by - the fathers whose children now must show these traits in a different con dition of affairs. But w0 may safely predict that if the same industry and economy are disulayed now they will not fail to secure a full measure of * success. It is to be regrettedl that the geolog'cal sarvey of Fairfield was never made. The lameontod Uebh passnd hurriedly through it when sur veying neighboring districts, but had not reached it when his work was ended. (To be continued) Rub-My-Tism is a powerful anti septic.

When my husband goes away from home he always takes a bottle of them ilong with him.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY. By Caroline Gray. Few Drink Enough Water. How much water do you drink? Enough, you will say. I know a prominent woman who has always been billious. I preached the gospel of drinking water-lots of it-to her until I was ready to give up, but her skin only grew more sallow. Final ly she broke down and was taken to the springs for treatment. When she returned, in two months, I had the surprise of my life at her clear skin and healthy eyes. When I asked what had worked the miracle, she answered with one word, "Water There was no mysterious expen sive treatment, just the drinking of many gallons of hot spring water, with a salty sulphur flavor. But it was worth m,-n times the cost of trip for this woman to learn, for the first time in her life, how to drink water. For that was years ago and she has kept up her heaith better than ever by drinking plain well wa ter, not spring water. but drinking it as if she were staying at the springs at an expense of five dollars a day plus railway fare. This means the drinking of one or two quarrs of water as hot as can be swallowed slowly, with comfort, on arising in the morning. For those who have acquired the taste for salty spring water, a pinch of sait in the glass will help make the hot water go down. Others, troubled with weak liver or constipation, add a few drops of lemon juice. Do not make lemo. nade, or sweeten, just squeeze in a few drops for the sour flavor. For myself. I eat an orange with my two tall glasses of water and have an appetite like a harvest hand, from breakfast to supper. This works like a broom , to sweep the alimentary canal of the accumu lations from the day previous. It prevents auto intoxication, which is the absorption by the system of waste matter from the bowels where it has lodged instead of passing off. it acts as a tonic and an appetizer, giving the digestive system some thing to do on arising. And as im portant as anything else, it starts the flow of saliva and digestive juices, without which normal diges tion and appetite are absolutely im possible. Consistent followers of this idea are but little troubled by colds, as colds always shun a clean system. To be sure, colds come from drafts and exposure and many other causes, but many times the draft would not start a cold unless there was an aggravated condition inter nally, such as is prevented by keep ing the system clean with water. In fact, the idea is called the internal bath. During the, balance of the day drink cool or cold water, but never ice-cold. You should dispose of an other ~.art or more, and drink it at frequent intervals, not so much at a time, as it is not so easy to drink cool water in quantity as it is hot wa-er. This may seem strange, as I hav~e known many to' try hot water a few times and give it up because "it didn't taste good." But thous ands cf men and women learned the benefits resulting from the practice even before prohibition became gen eral, and the idea is steadily gain ing ground.-Household Guest. 666 cures Malaria, Chills and Fev er, Bilious Fever, Colds and La Grippe, or money refunded.
