?Prof. DeHerradora began on Monday
a large, flourishing and promising
writing school at Mount Zion College.
, Reasonable hopes may now be entertained
that the chirograpliy of the
next generation in "Winusboro will be
an improvement upon the present.
?We hope that some of the ladies
of Fairfield will comply with the request
of the Neics and Courier and
write some sketches of "Our women
in the war." These sketches will be
liberally paid for by our enterprising
Charleston contemporary, and they
will form a valuable addition to the
history of oar conntry.

?Sixteen new students have entered
the South Carolina College so far
this month, making 191 enrolled since
October. number enrolled
during the preceding ^
The expectation that the attendance
this session would be larger than the
one before has therefore been already
realized.
?The early oats throughout the
county were killed to the ground by
the cold snap and snow about the first
of the month, but the moderately
warm weather of last week has satisfactorily
proven that the crop as yet
has not been materially injured. It is
earnestly hoped that such severe spells
will come but seldom in this latitude.
?"When in town visit Prof. DeHer
radora's Gallery and examine specimens
of his work as penman, photographer
and sign painier. *
?The Pearce granite works of Columbia
are now shipping about ten carloads
of paving blocks and dimension
stone every day, and have orders ahead
for the .same outturn for five months.
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.

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.
All such men are heartily welcome

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-?

the law, and as such must be kept
upon one's own premises.

?The February number is even more
than usually attractive with literary and
artistic geuas. The editor (T. De Witt
Talmage, D. D.), has an exceedingly I
interesting article, " vy onaers 01 uie
Century"; the Rev. E. Barras, M. A.,
contributes an admirable one, "Methodism
in Canada," with nineteen portraits
and other illustrations. "Capri
and its Bine Grotto," "Zwingle, the j
Swiss Reformer," "The Philipse
Manor Hall at Yonters," "George
Frederick Handel," "Samson Agonistes,"
"Liturgies and Lilurgic "Worship,"
etc., etc., are among the other
prominent articles. The two serials,
"How it All Came Round" and
"Wrong from the First," are continued,
and there are short stories,

Lectures at Moukt Zion.?Dr.
Chas. E. 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

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.

News from: Africa.?From a private
letter from the Rev. D. "VV. 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

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. There have been t
no deaths among .those who came out r

MR. 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

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

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
