If the demand continue as it has begun this year the value of the annual -outturn at the Columbia and Fairfield quarries will exceed 8200,000. The demand for granite has been so heavy recently that the k(ireen quarry, near Columbia, has been reopened by" the company, and they have sent to Scotland for twenty "more skilled paving block makers. The contracts for the . streets of Charleston and Wilmington require eight carloads of blocks daily. By the first of February the company will probably have thirty skilled block cutters and "seventy other hands at work. Convenient for Taxpayers.?Under the new law taxpayers may pay taxes and return their property for assessment at the same time. That is to say, when the taxes are paid for the ! current year the return can be made at the same time for the succeeding year. This will save the trouble of makiug two trips as has been the practice heretofore. The Force of Example. ? The 7 wi?r men of Marion have organized a "Bachelors' Association" and a con siderable number of the Marion gentry have been initiated into the mysteries of the "order'. The "VVinnsboro boys may flatter themselves that this is but the result of their precept and example, and thinking so it would be well to wire to them the congratu4 - latioas of the Winnsboro Lodge. The Dental Sensation*.?Our recent account of the acts and doings of the now famous dentist in the eastern portion of the county has excited con* * a rim.~ r* siiieraoic commcm. uic uwuvun; Xeo.s say? of that gentleman: This fellow was evidently bent on taking bread from the mouths of the people. lie ?o?n>. to have followed! tiic sound commercial habit of drawing at sight, and evidently played a "gnm game," but no victim can charge that it was tooth in. Stock Raising.?Mr. Henry R. Adams, recently of Texas, has leased a large farm, for a number of years, in the western portion of the county, and expects to begin stock raising on the Texas plan. Mr. Adams has been for some years engaged in this pursuit in Texas and will doubtless make stock raisins: a paying business in Fairfield. "\Vc hope so, for it may j then induce other progressive, ener-j getic men to direct their labors in a j similar direction. Improved.?New railing has been placed along the track of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad through onr? ?f-c /Wnrlifirm Vl.lQ irinr.h improved in consequence. The authorities deserve much credit for the ability, energy and zeal displayed in this direction. It will be conceded now that this road is in better condition, under better management, and altogether more useful, active and prosperous than at any previous time in its history. "We are glad to note such evidences of its healthy financial condition. Burglary.?The store of Messrs. P. Landecker & Bro., in this place, was entered on Thursday night, and vnhhivl of o-oods to the value of about one hundred and fifty dollars. The articles stolen consisted of dry goods, clothing, shoes and fancy articles. Judging from the selection made, the thieves must have been quite familiar with' the establishment. The entry was made through the door on the south side of the store, near the rear end. We trust the thieves may be captured and brought to punishment. Attempted Arson*.?A futile attempt was made one night last week j to set fire to the residence of Mr. Thos. "W. Rabb, Si*., near Monttcello, in this county. Half burned matches and some kindling were found under Mr. Rabb's house on the morning after the attempt and the pillars and sills near by were somewhat smoked. The falling of the snow upon that night effectually effaced all tracks and no clue whatever has been found to the perpetrators of the crime. Mr. Rabb offers a reward of $300 for the detec+Ka /mmonrJ cnfl UVil VI I/IIV VlitUlUMAO Ulivi ^IVVA WM* ficicnt to convict. It is to be hoped that the perpetrators will be found. The Up-Country Teacher.?The initial number of an eight-page monthly magazine bearing this title has just been issued from the press of The News and Herald. The Teacher is under the editorial conduct of Messrs. B. R. Turnipseed, Patterson "Wardlaw and "VVillard Richardson, all of them progressive, experienced and successful instructors. Its pages arc well filled with appropriate and interesting matter, and the typographical work is first-class. It is published at the low price of fifty cents a year. Every teacher and school-officer in the State should be a subscriber. Another Burglary.?1The residence of Mr. Chas. K. Rabb, within four miles of "Winnsboro was, on Monday night, the 14th inst., broken into and nbout sixtv nounds of bacon stolen therefrom. The burglar or burglars' entered by raising one of Mr. llabb's windows, and the property stolen being conveniently by was easily carried off. The window fastens on the inside, and from this circumstance it is thought that persons well acquainted .with the character of the window fixtures must ha.ve, on the evenlngTefore tiie~ljm,-glary, arranged for the entrance, and in "this way ac complished the larceny. Mr. kudo will be energetic in his endeavors to bring the guilty party or parties to trial. "Who is She??The Newberry Hea\ aid says: .. TV'e know a lady in Fairfield county, who is so very careful with her household things that she has the same cups, saucers, plates, knives and forks that she has used for over thirty years. She has also a foot tub that is as good as new, although it is as old as the other articles. What is the most remarkable of all is that her bonnet claims the same distinguished age, and looks today as nice as one of the last fall bonnets, its shape and the character of its ribbons being changed once in a while. "We need only further say that this remarkable lady is one or the Dest housekeepers, and the most lovable woman next to one in our own household that wc have ever known. The. Edgefield Monitor, in reply to the above, says: "We know a man who has the same suspender buckles in use to-day that he has worn for fifty years. The suspenders have been replaced many times with new ones, always homeknit. The name of our man is Elijah "Watson, Sr., Esq., of Ridge Spring. Next! Blacksmith Snop.?We call especial attention to the advertisement of Mr. R. T. Matthews, who has opened a blacksmith, gunsmith and wheelwright shop in the building on College street, just east of the railroad. Mr. Matthews comes well recommended both as a mechanic and as a man, as will appear from the following statement, which we find in the Aiken Recorder: "\fi* r? t mrtffhpws. of "Williston. S. C., removed on Christmas day with his family to "Wiuusboro, S. C., where he will engage in the wheelwright and blacksmith business, of which he is a thorough master in all its details. Mr. Matthews is an upright and respected citizen and a first-class mechanic, and we sincereiv trust that he will receive a hearty welcome and liberal patronage from the good people of Fairfield county.

Jfe* Hard ox the Geese.?An interesting i and somewhat important appeal from j the courts of trial justices was heard by ; | Judge Kershaw at Orangeburg last' j week". The question was one 01 conj structiou of the general stock law of j I the State, and the direct issue was j [ whether or not a goose is a domestic j animal under the statute. The proof j was that the damage had been done to I a crop of peas by a flock of domestic I geese. Counsel for the defence claimed ! that a goose was not a domestic ani- j mal as contemplated by the Act. This ; position was controverted by Solicitor j Jervey. The Court held that the lan- j guage of the Act was sufficienly com-1 prehensive to include geese und consequently dismissed the appeal. Section 1,1S4 of the General Statutes is the i section under which the question arose and the language construed was, "to permit the said auimals or any of them or any other domestic animal to run at large beyond the limits of his own lands," etc. The decision is doubtless good law and certainly it is of general interest to the people all over the State. Our friends throughout the county will now remember that squal-? ; - -- J ling geese are domestic ammais mmci the law, and as such must be kept upon one's own premises.

Stott, of New York, by invitation, delivered an interesting and instructive lecture before the teachers and pupils of Mount Zion College on Wednesday morning. The Doctor selected for his theme "The wonders of the Gulf Stream and the important offices of rivers and mountains." Peculiarly fortunate in the choice of a subject and thoroughly familiar with it in all its bearings, his talk of nearly an Hour was brimful of nsach information to the scholars and suggestive to the teachers of the most effectual methods of teaching geography. Mr. Whiting, of Alexandria, .Va., was also called upon and in an address of twenty minutes spoke feelingly to the boys and girls upon the general duty of study now as a preparation for future happiness and ftiture usefulness. At the close of the addresses Professor "Wardlaw, in behalf of the college, thanked both of the gentlemen named for their interest and sympathy A f V f mUIillU&LCU 111 tuc vi mv institution. Professor Wardlaw contemplates having monthly lectures before the college whenever the services of. thoughtful and distinguished men can be procured. The adoption of the contemplated feature would add no little of interest and value to the present course of instruction, and we hope the progressive corps of teachers will decide favorably upon the proposed lecture system.

Fra zier, colored, written from Monrovia, Liberia, December 3. 1883, we extract the following items of interest to the general reader: * * * Up to November 5, at which time I took sick, a great deal of interest was manifested among the natives. Some of them came a day's travel to attend church, and came to look me up when they came down the first Sabbath and did not find me at church. I have also a small class of native boys, and hope that the interest in this " >* !J1 .U T direction will increase rapiuiy wuuu jl shall have acclimatcd properly. There has been some increase in the church since inv arrival in Sinoe. Sunday, November 4, was our communion Sabbath, prior to which we added on examination seven. I can say that I am managing to get matters straight. The membership' of the church at present is eighty-nine; Sunday School seventy. I have neglected it, else I would be able to tell you how many native communicants are in the church and how many native bovs and girls Ill lllU OUUUUJ' kJUUVo'WA* L wv v?v this when I write again. * * * There is a female preacher and temperance lecturer now going through the country and creating a great excitement, and has much to say about her "divine call". She professes to have very much faith in Providence, and spent mnch of her time in saving that God had sent her here to preach and that therefore He would not suffer her to have the fever, but she got left on that; she had the fever much more t so than some of us who did not make s quite such a to-do.

BLAISE'S POSITIOS. 3 1 3fessrs. Editors: I sec in your edi- I r torial columns you have referred, more 'j than of late, to the proposition of the t Hon. Jas. G. Blaine for disposing of (. the surplus revenue of the United o States. His proposition is to cl|ride ? the whole whiskey tax among* tue jfc States of the Union according to?op- v ulation, to be used by them for the C purpose of paying all their taxes. This ^ plan may appear to some, at first view e at least, very plausible, inasmuch as ifc would afford some advantage to every taxpayer in the Union. This plan is awakening interest and creating discussion. But it has been said that "1 "the moral consideration involved ^ ought to be fatal to it." Let ns look C at it. The whiskey tax in the United States is $86,000,000. The tax on n every proof gallon of whiskey is h seventy cents. Now, dividing this into $86,000,000 we have 122,857,142 1< gallons annually consumed in the ^ United States?an average of about fi two and a half gallons to every inhab- i ? nf Am- nnmifw ! A rA WP. st#Tld- I liailb V/JL VLU VVUiikij ?> VJ ? ? ing as we do among the first nations s of the earth, so rapidly becoming a j nation of drunkards? A Christian nation too! A nation professing to lead the nations of the earth in spreading the gospel throughout the world! I say this becansc I regard it as next J to impossible for those who are out- to side tlie pale of all our religious de- ? nominations, minus the temperance men, who make no profession of reli- T crirm and minns all our little children I ? to consume nearly 123,000,000 gallons of whiskey in a year without recciv- ^ ing much aid and comfort from the ' professed followers of the Lord Jesus si Christ.. Now, let us suppose this ii whiskey sold at two dollars per gal- E Ion, then we have $245,714,284 an- ^ nually spent in the United States not p to do good, but producing only evil; producing incalculable loss of time and loss of life, loss of character and ? loss of property?filling jails, peni- ? tentiaries and courts with culprits, who might have been honors to their s families"had not the law licensed men to sell them whiskey?desolating the J hallowed precincts of home?reducing thousands of noble women to degra- dation, wretchedness and want?reJ ?

U4iVMV??M?w to poverty and shame?bloating and often ruining many of our noblest E young men before they reach the prime h of life?corrupting our ballot-box by f< buying votes to put unworthy candidates into office. Mr. Blaine's plan tl would give opportunity for every tax- h payer to become an agent for the en- ^ couragement of intemperance. Its ? tendency would be to increase rather than diminish the quantity consued. tl Tl "NTpto- Vftrlr 7fo.n/n> titer in con- h eluding an article on this subject, says: tl "A statesman must have little faith in ^ God, or in the advancing civilization of ? his country, to suppose that this enor- ? raous amount of whiskey is to con! S( tinue to be used by the population of a one of the foremost nations of the earth. Mr. Blaine's plan might be 11 justly called a project for making every P State a special agent for the promotion a of whiskey drinking, for the reason that the more is drank, and otherwise used, the larger will be the whiskey tax dividends to the several States*. This is reversing all the laws of decency and good order. It ought to be the aim of every State ana every ngat- p minded citizen to diminish the amount r of whiskey consumed." u B. F.
