Fire.—Theatavin of fire Wits sohnd- ad about half-past IWelve o’clock on Friday, and soon brought oot the three fire companies, together with the usual number ’0$ citizen aftM'daiits. The flames proceeded Trom the roof of the wooden dwelling occupied by Mr. R. M. Bh'al’a'vy^ and at one time Some apprehension Was *f<dt that the fire might gain headway and then spread among thh row of wooden buildings adjacent. Fortunately^ however, the active exertions , of the firemen-and others soon extinguished the flames, with inconsiderable damage to the property. Neither of the engines was called into service. Vft retail ftqflot dealers or barkeepers can collect bar debts, has created some surprise. Some of the papets* ttt ape* Hug of it, treat it as a matter-of- conrse decision, not seeming to re member that until recently the collec tion of Such tads was barred by Act of the Legislature; and Other papers speak of the decision as though they regard the Tupoer law stlil of force* Section 9 of the Act of 184$ to alteF and amend the license laws Of this State is as follows: That if any tavern keeper snail give credit to any person or penoOS for spiritn- 6ns liquors, he, she or the^ s& trusting oHr giving credit to any pereoto or persons, as aforesaid, shall lose Xhe debt and oe for ever disabled from suing for or recovering the same or any part thereof. And any note, bill, bond or other security which may be given fot- Wny ^pfritTuous bo void; and if any tavern keeper shall sue for any such debt, the person or per sons sned shall and may plead this Act in bar thereof. The RfevWfcd Statutes compiled by the Corbin Commission re-enacted the above portion of the liccbse kw, Mt the compilation of the Simonton Com mission, which took effect from May, 1882, repealed it. Hence any bar debt contracted since May, 1882, can be col lected by law the same as other debts. *»»Lin in; mr . rnim teer troops it i? safe to, say that the Gordon Light Infantry are witlioat superiors as drilled soldiers.

K. Elliott’s horse, attached to his buggy', was. driven by two negroes down Congress street to the corner of College, where the engine was at work. Taking sudden flight, the ani mal sprang forward and. in aq instant had bolted around College rtVeM, on the pavement, uiul was running bis very best. The affrighted animal went completely around the square, emerg ing at tVi o^tuer ’ of Congress. and Fairfield streets, and kept his *yay till he got in front, of ifir. ‘Elliott’s reei- dhnee. Here sbhife peVsons endeavored to dtop him, hut ho suddenly took bis way op the railroad cut, 'Oa'rr.ytng the buggy with kim’, till he got into the field near by, when he broke loose. After some little wandering about he was caught and stabled. The buggy is a complete wreck. Neither of the men was injured—jumping out at the first corner turned and the other a Rtttfc farther on. Mail Matter Held kor Postage.— The Postmaster General has issued an order, to take effect on the first of July next, with respect to what is known as “held for postage” matter. The order provides that “whenever any letter prepaid at less than one full rate of postage, or any parcel of third or fourth class matter not fully prepaid, and being otherwise maifable, tt de* posited at a postofllce of the first, sec ond or third class, and consigned to any other postofllce within tbe United States, it shall be the duty of the post master to send to the addressee an otBeiA 1 ! postal card containing a notice of the detention, and a request to re mit the proper amount of postage to enable the letter or parcel to be for warded to its'destination.” This pro viso applies only to matter #hich does not bear the card or address of the sender. Such card matter should be returned Immediately to the party mailing it, as prescribed by existing regulations. The law Requires that letters prepaid with less than one fiill rate, and third and fourth class matter not fully prepaid, shall be sent to the dead letter otiice, but under this order where the feewder t* not known the addressee is to have an opportunity of paying the deficient postage, and ot receiving the matter direct from the mailing office. This plan has been tried for nearly a year past at the let ter-carrier offices with most satisfacto ry results; the statistics allowing that more than eighty per cent, of the ad dressees notified Wre responded with the postage. The success of‘the ex periment has induced the Postmaster General to extend tlie syalem to all the presidential offices. . • ' ^ klktt PLUME DBaIL. $199 SEWARD.

A very interesting and Important missionary meeting was held by the colored people at Fairfield Institute on last Sunday, the 20th Inst. The meet ing was on the eve of the departure of the Rev. D. W. FraXier, colored, fof Africa, as a missionary—a former pupil cf Fairfield .Institute. He de livered an address on the “Hope of Africa,” and those who were present speak in the most favorable terms both of bis matter and manner, and he gives promise of mach usefulness in his untried field of IfiboTv It will be re membered by onr readers that he was graduated at Howard University in Washington, and that his record while there was dbmmented Upon In flatter ing terms by the journals of that city* At the meeting the opening prayer was offered by th j Rev. J, 8. Connor, and addresses were made by the Rev. W, Richardson and the Pev. J. T. Chalmers, and the benediction by the Rev. G. T. Dillard, colored.

Uy with Retail Liquor DkbtW,—The recent deqisloau^ Judge Witherspoon that A Vrfaodly Contest Among the Soldiers the Gordon Light Infantry—A Highly Creditable Difeplay, The Thespian Hall on Thursday night was well flllwd with people gath ered to witness the annual plume drill of the Gordon light Infantry. The ladies were UUt in force—thus showing their interest in the finest militoty or ganization Winnsboro has ever had. At the appointed hour the Company marched into the hall, and weVe divid ed into two squads, preparatory to the contest. The officer in charge of the drill was Lieut. T. K. Elliott, while the other commissioned officers—Cap tain Jordan and Lieutenants Cfimraings and Jordan—acted as judges. Tlie first sqnad appeared promptly on the stage, and went through the mannal in fine style. Then followed the other sqnad—and it was difficult to say which had done the better. The judges then “excused” a considerable nuhu her, to that when the curtain rose again only abont half the whole num ber of contestants were in ranks. The display made by these was very fine, but the “thinning” process was Grain applied, and on the third round only seven soldiers presented themselves Of course the smaller the number the greater the efforts of the men, but, also, the greater the opportunity of the judges to detect the smallest mistakes. This squad remained ea tlie boards •ome little time; and when the curtain Yose again, three soldiers only came in view—Messrs. J. H. Harden, H. B. McMaster and T. W. Lauderdale. These three did admirably, and the unskilled judgfi would have been very willing to call tba contest a “draw” and to give each of the contestants a pinme. Bat somebody must go under, and, after some minntos, Mi\ Harden, i by a slight mistake, was the nnfortn- 1 lunate. The contest between Messrs. McMaster and Lauderdale was very exciting. If it was hard to decide among the three, U was harder still to eettle on the victor between these two. After the first round, the judges were still undecided, and another test was node. After this, opinions among the uninitiated were about equally divided. After some deliberation the pinme was nuenimonsly awarded lo Corporal T. W. Lauderdale. The prize was presented by Mr. C. A. Douglass, who took occasion to congratulate the Gordons on the pro ficiency they had just displayed. Cer tain it is that the exhibition waa moat creditable to officers and men alike. In many parts of the drill there was shown a degree of skill which would do credit to the best drilled corps in the United States.
