Enterprise Rewarded.?The Milford
(Del.) yews and Advertiser of a |
recent date has the following:
As indicating how large tracts of I
poor land can be improved and rendered
remunerative, we cite the example
of Houston. In 1865 Rev. Willard
Richardson and Mr. David Scott, of
Susquehanna county, Pa., purchased
about two square miles of poor, sandy
land, lying1 on either side of the J. and
B. Railroad, half way between Milford
and Harrington. The price paid was
$27,000, as land was then very high.
The tract was divided, some new build- j
ings erectcd, and soon the railroad
company conceded a Station. Peaches
and berries were the principal products
at first. At present the original tract
is laid out into about a dozen small
farms which are quite productive, especially
of fruits and sweet potatoes.
The establishmeut of a cannery bv D.
Scott & Co. gave an impetus to buildiug,
and several residences were erected
last year, one for the sale of general
merchandise. Rev. Richardson is
also building what will prove a commodious
and pleasant home. The village
now has a cannery, depot, store,
n? j T
posromve iuiu CAyress i?mw. limi >cai j
about a million cans of tomatoes and
other vegetables were put up, and 5,000
barrels of sweet potatoes shipped
to city marketsIt
is but due to Mr. 'Bichardson to
say that he has been engaged in even a
better work in Winnsboro. A life
long teacher, connected with a school
and college in Pennsylvania, lie taught
hundreds, among them such men as
Senator Buckalew, Galusha A. Grow,
ex-Gov. Walker, of Virginia, and many
others who have made their mark in
the North and West. At the close of
the war he accepted a mission to the
colored people, and has taught in
Winnsboro a number of years. He
has done a great deal for education in
this county for both races, and we
should be very sorry to lose him, were
he to determine to return to Delaware.
MELLOW WEDBISG BELLS.
The Happy Fnion of Two Heart*- An Im
prvftalve Ceremony, and a Very Pleasant
Social Gathering.
Quite a large and brilliant assemblage
gathered together on Thurs
clay evening to witnesstne marriage at
the residence of the bride's father, of
Mr. J. F. McMaster to Miss Kittie
Rion, third daughter of Col. James H.
Rion. At precisely eight o'clock the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
II. B. Pratt, and then followed a
general handshaking and the customary
congratulations. Besides a large
number of friends from the town and
country there were present the Misses
McMaster and Littletield, of Columbia.
Fleming, of Marion, Daisy Aiken,
of Tennessee, and Barron and
Wriston, of North Carolina, and Col.
Win. Johnston, Judge Cothran, Attorney
General You mans, J udire A. C.
Haskell, Co!. J. C. Haskell, Col. F. V,*. j
McMaster, Capt. W. B. Stanley, Dr. !
Fleming, Gen. Bratton, Mr. "YVni. H.J
Lylcs, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Barron, j
Messrs. S. B. DuBose, M C. Robert- j
son and McMaster. A large number j
of handsome and valuable presents j
attracted general attention and ad- j
miration.
After several hours devoted to de-j
ligbtful intercourse a princely enter- I
tainment was served in two rooms, I
the tables groaning with most tempt- j
ing delicacies of all kinds. It would j
be impossible in a brief spa^e to!
chronicle all the incidents that oc-1
curred, how the young ladies and their j
married sisters vied in charms and j
loveliness, and how the married men j
were determined that the bachelors
present should not surpass them j
in devotion, and how the bache- j
lore themselves, "last leaves j
upon the tree" as they are, j
seemed determined to remove from i
themselves the stigma and the misery j
of single blessedness. Our fashion j
editor is off duty, and wc cannot pretend
to portray the beauties and mysteries
of the feminine toilette, as they
unfolded themselves 011 this occasion.
A beautiful face in a handsome dre?s
is like apples of gold in pictures of
| silver, and there were hosts of "gold
apples" and "silver pictures," and
comparisons would be odious. Black
eyes and blue eyes and brown eyes
and gray eyes alike flashed and
sparkled and saw and conquered. If j
there were any green eyes we failed to
detcct them. One pair of black eyes I
made the same promise to four or five
pleaders and didn't mean to keep it i
t with any; but this is woman's way.'
! The groom was handsome aud happy,
: and appeared fully to appreciate his
; great good fortune in securing one of
| Winnsboro's fairest daughters, and
the bride in sweet and womanly
dignity bore her blushing honors with
rare grace and loveliness, and the
?
same kindliness of manner that have
ever distinguished her. May their
I journey through life, so auspiciously
! begau. be always bright and sunny,
| and lead only to ever increasing pros
| perity and happiness.
THE COVJiT or COJIHOy PLEAS.
I Trial of Several Cases Before tho Petit
Juries-The Verdicts.
| The Court of Common Picas was
j opened on Monday morning, the
| 20th inst. The following is a synopsis
! of the cases disposed of: i
| Lcroy It. Fee vs. David P. Crosby? ;
j Mr. Mackey for plaintiff, Col. Rion for
j defendant. The plaintiff sought to
j recover the value of seven bales of cot- j
; ton sold by the defendant, amounting j
j to $1)10.20. A lot of cotton, including
I thc.sc seven bales, wts placed by the j
j plaintiff 011 the platform near defend- j
| ant's store. The defendant claimed
that the cotton was delivered to him. I
I the proceeds to be applied to a bond
and mortgage held by the defendant
against plaintiff. The amount appcarj
ed credited on bond. The plaintiff
j denied the delivery, and denied that he
' authorized the defendant to apply any j
| part of the money arising from the cot- j
j ton to the satisfaction of the bond. The J
| jury found in full for the plaintiff.
A. Williford vs. John K. Ragsdalc. 1
action 011 note given for the purchase- j
j money of a horse?Col. Rion for j
plaintiff, Messrs. Guilford & Reynolds j
for defendant. Verdict, by consent,!
for the plaintiff in the sum of >'107.
James Walling and Elizabeth McLean
vs. Henry \V. Desporfes, action
i to recover possession of a tract of laud j
?Mr. Mackey for plaintiff, Col. Riou
for defendant. "When the evidence for
the plaintiff was concluded, the defendant's
counsel moved for a nonsuit,
on the ground that the plaintiff had
not made out a prima facie case.
After argument the Judge granted the
motion and ordered the complaint to
be dismissed with ccsts.
Eliza Bonlware vs. John Gladden,
action to recover possession of a mule
?Mr. Mackej" for plaintiff, Col. ltion
for defendant. The mule in dispute
had been seized and sold by the defendant
under a chattel mortgage given to
: him by the plaintiff.? husband, now
deceased. The plaintiff claimed that
the mule had been bought by funds of
her own earning-, and was her separate
property. The jury fouud for the
plaintiff, without damages.
Sallie G. Martin vs. Jno. D. McCari
ley, as Sheriff, and C. J. Pride, action
to recover possession of a horse, with
damages for the detention?Messrs.
Gailiard & Reynolds for the plaintiff,
Messrs. Douglass & McCants for the
defendants. The defendants consented,!
without trial, that the plaintiff recover
possession of the horse without damages,
and the proposition was accepted.
Thomas F. Broom vs. "VY. R. Dot} &
Co., action to recovcr possession of a
male, with damages?Messrs. Gaillard
& Reynold for the pluiniifl*. Messrs.
Douglass & McCants for the defendants.
The defendants had seized thy
mule under a chattel mortgage given
to them by Andrew Thomas, a colored
rnau. The plaintiff claimed that the
mule had always been his property.
He also alleged that when Thomas and
another colored man mortgaged the
mule to the defendants, that mortgage
was executed with his consent in the
presence of oiie^of the defendants in.
the present- action. The case was
given to the jury late Tuesday evening,
with instructions to bring in a sealed
verdict Thursday morning.
Wednesday being Washington's
Birthday, the jurors were all discharged
till Thursday. On Wednesday
the Judge heard some matters by consent?noue
of which are of public interest.
In the case of Thomas F. Brco n vs.
W. R. Doty & Co., tried on Tuesday
evening, the jury, on Tlmrsdav morning,
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff
for the mule in dispute, without damages.
John II. Catlicart vs. Doreth Sngenheimer?Messrs.
Monteirh and Youmans
for the plaintiff, Col. Rion and
Mr. A. S. Douglass for the defendant.
This case arose out of tlie following
facts: In 1874, the plaintiff having
previously been adjudged a lunatic, an
action was brought by Samuel Cathcart,
his committee, to marshal the assets
of the estate of John II. Cat heart,
cal! in his creditors, and settle the
debts. The title of this cause was
"Samuel Cathcart, Committee of the Estate
of John II. Cathcart, Lunatic, vs.
Hopkins, Dwight & Trowbridge, and
Samuel B. Clowney as Clerk of the
Court of Common Pleas for the County
of Fairfield". The Court ordered the
real estate to be sold. On sales-day in
January, roio, mc iana now in sua
(being the lot on which now stand the
store occupied by Messrs. Beaty &
Bro. and the adjacent buildings) was
sold by the Sheriff and bought bv the
defendant for $4,025. in July. 1S7G,
the judgment of the Court of Probate
which hud declared the plaintiff* to be
not) cow/jos mentis was vacated and
the committee discharged. In November
last he brought this action to recover
the land above-mentioned, with
five thousand dollars* ^damages. The_
chief ground taken by the plaintiff was
that in the proceedings to marshnl assets,
etc., he had not been made a party
either as plaintiff or defendant. For
the defendant it was uiged that the
committee was the proper and com- j
petent party to bring the action. The
arguments in the case were addressed j
mainly to the judge?the only question j
for the jury beiug the measure of dam- j
?<res. The argument \v;:.s opened by !
Mr. Monteith for the plaintiff, who. was
followed by Mr. Douglass and Colonel j
Ilion for the defendant. AttorneyGeneral
Youmans closed for the plain- j
nn. ounge i^ornran, wirnoui giving j
the grounds of his decision, directed i
the jury to render a verdict for the de- j
fondant. It is understood that an ap- j
peai will be taken to the Supreme j
Court. The case consumed the entire ;
day, and the arguments were listened i
to by the spectators with uuusually j
close attention.
Wm. J. Johnson vs. T. \7. "Uoyle k \
\ Bro., action on account for $50.45 for j
j goods sold and rrossties cut?Messrs. |
I J. E. McDonald and Gaillard & Key- j
! nolds for the plaintiff, Mr. Neil for the i
| defendants. The defendants denied i
| certain items of the account, and, in i
j addition, set up a counterclaim for I
1 damages arisiug out of the plaintiff's j
| breach oi'his contract to let the defend- j
I ants cut crossties on his land. The de- j
| fendants claimed that the plaintiff had j
i forbade their catting before the exmra
tion of tiie contract, whereby they were j
{ prevented from delivering ties under j
1 l
: Z? Mwmiffii
iii?i? iggpnamcMB?OE
I their contract with the railroad company,
and thus damaged to the amount
of ninety dollars. The jury in the trial
justice's court fou !id a verdict for the
defendants for $11.04. The jury in
the Circuit Court rendered a verdict
I
! for the entire amount claimed by the
j plaint ill".
i George W. Crawford vs. Joseph S.
j Gunnell, action on a note given for the
! purchase-money of a mule?Col. Jiion
j for the plaintiff, Messrs. Gail lard &
i Reynolds for the defendant- The case
I had been heard by Trial Justice Xeil,
! who gave judgment for the plaintiff for
; ?89.36, the full amount claimed. The
[ defendant appealed to the Circuit
j Court. It appeared that the dei'end|
ant had signed a note as surety for
| one Spencer Huffman, a colored man
to whom the plaintiff had sold a mule,
j A mortgage of the mule was given by
Huffman to secure the note. The day
after this note and mortgage were
executed, Huffman brought the mule
back to the plaintiff and got another.
With his full consent the plaintiff altered
the mortgage to cover the second
mule. Under these circumstances the
1 ^ -3 A. 4. "? -.1 tU/.
ueienuaiu coiueuucu mat ?wc u>uuwt
was altered in a material part, and that
)ie was thus released. This much was
conceded on behalf of the plaintiff, hut
it was urged that the defendant subsequently
ratified the agreement in its
altered form. This single question?
whether the defendant's conduct
amounted to a ratification?was submitted
to the jury. They found for
the defendant.
The juries were discharged on Friday
afternoon, after which the judge
was engaged in hearing matters by
consent.
TUB POLITICAL l'ROSECVTIOXS.
Investigation of the Wlnnsboro Cases by a
Special Counsel.
On Friday last, Mr. Dallas Sanders,
an attorney of Philadelphia, visited
Winnsboro for the purpose of making
ii.nnim'ot Qjtn t1>l> T> ir.J'i f c of thp r?nl5ti
eal prosecutions begun here at the instance
of Henry Johnson la^t year.
Mr. Sanders has been appointed special
counsel by United Slates AttorneyGeneral
Brewster for the purpose of
visiting South Carolina, looking into
the political cases and assisting District
Attorney Melton in such as they
may decide to bring to trial. Mr. Sanders
spent a portion of Friday afternoon
and Saturday morning in inspecting
the poll lists of the last elect ion in
Wiunsboro, and in examining the files
of The News and Herald for the returns
of the boxc3 for a number of elections
back. The number of votes cast
here in 1380 was 1103, and at other
elections varied from a thousand to a
lime over twelve iHinureu. uver iour
hundred votes were east at this box
i'or Garfield, and over seven hundred
colored votes were polled in ;di, notwithstanding
the testimony of Ilenry
Johu-on and the other witnesses th:it
no colored men were allowed to vote.
Mr. Sanders then interviewed a
number of citizens, white and colored,
among them by special invitation being
Major Woodward, County Chairman,
and Joe Thompson, Republican
ex-County Chairman, Simon Davis,
Republican precinct chairman, and exSenator
Israel Byrd. He sent for Phil
Lakin, the present Republican County
Chairman. He also on Saturday intimated
that he would be glad to bear
statesmen; 8 iromauy of tbe accused
parties. Accordingly he held a levee
for several hours, q uestioning qaite a
number of Chera as to the occurrences of
the day. The circumstances are too
well known to necessitate any repetition
of tliem here, but we believe that
the evidence on both sides conclusively
fhows the frivolity of the charges.
Mr. Saiulcrs leit on Monday, saying
that he would soon communicate the
result of his vist. lie is a pleasant gentleman,
f?nd appears ;o be desirous of
simply getting at the truth. The government,
he says, docs not desire to inaugurate
useless and vexatious pro
ceedings nor to incur unnecessary expense.
There are about twenty-five cases
in Fairfield, and each has already cost
the government about thirty dollars in
costs and fees to commissioners and
understrappers.

the sentencing of Guitcau and the adjournment:
of the Legislature it was a
problem to vour readers to know how
yon would make your paper interesting
after those events. Guitcau has
gone to ins prison name to await execution,
and tho members of the Legislaiure

Now we hope you can put to work all
that ponderous machinery contained in
the several rooms which make the journey

is in keeping with the Columbia

"With all her glorious prospective,

last week. To many dusky Fairlielders

this is a sore subject ; so many
