?From what we can gather from
the State press, the small grain crops,
especially the oats, seem to have been
seriously injured in nearly every section
of the State by the recent cold
weather.
?The examinations in the South
Carolina College in February are

The record must show no laggards

?The newspapers throughout the

of such affairs.
?Applications for a requisition from
the Governor for the arrest of the
parties charged with entering the store

will be about used up.
?A masquerade ball is now being
talked of among the young ladies and
gentlemen of town, and action will
doubtless be taken at an early day to
arrange for the event. The masquerade
last vear was a marked success,
and we doabt not that the anticipated
one this year will come fully up to the
standard of the last.
?A neatly printed show card of the
Industrial Exhibition at Charleston,
which begins to-day and continues

of patronage- Excursion tickets have
been placed on sale by roads leading

?Claib. Smith, a colored man, underwent
a severe surgical operation on
Sunday last?the amputation of both
his legs, below the knee. He had been
suffering from rheumatism for some
time, and it is supposed that he was
frost-bitten during the late severe
weather, leaving the limbs in such a
condition as to necessitate amputation.

A Home in the "W est.?Private advices
from "Washington warrant the
statement that A. M. Mackey, Esq.,
formerly a member of the "Winnsboro
bar, will take np his residence in New
Mexico in the early spring. Mr.
Mackey expects to continne the practice
of his profession.

about the first of February. A considerable
number of our useful, practical
and successful farmers have left
the county recently, and "still they

Woodward's Cotton Report.?Information
from an authoritative source
shows the cotton receipts at "Woodward's,
in this county, during last
year to be 2,263 bales, and against
2,251 of last year, showing a difference
between the two years given to
be but twelve bales and in favor of
1S83. The receipts for both years are
very heavy lor a place of the size of
! Woodward's.
j The "Wizard Oil Fellows.?The
Edgefield Advertiser says: "The
"Wizard Oil Troupe, with their splendid
car and five magnificent iron gray
horses, arrived in our town 011 Tuesday
afternoon, and have taken quarters
at the Jones Hotel. There are
six men in the band, and they sing
exquisitely. For a day or two now
we shall have fine vocal music upon
our streets."
A New Order.?The Aiken Journal
and Reviews ays: "A leap year
society for the protection of young
men is about to be organized in Aiken.
Many a young man, wnose motnei1
would not think of boarding himself
and wife, will this year be lassoed by
some ardent young woman, and
dragged down to matrimony. The
society cannot get to work a minute
too soon."
Personal.?Miss Nannie Agurs, oi
Chester, is now in town on a visit to
Mrs. G. C. Bacot. Miss Agurs is quite
a favorite in her native town, and we

Significant Figures.?The records
iii the office of the Clerk of the Court
for this county show for the month ot
January to date that 175 liens have

straits of onr people, or must they be
taken as proof that the lien law is
growing more popular with the
masses? Neither horn of the dilemma
is a pleasant one.
Erskixe Theological Seminary.?
The Chester Reporter, of the 24tb
inst., says of the Rev. Mr. Chalmers
and his work in that county:
The Kev. John T. Chalmers, ol
Winnsboro, who has been traveling in
/\^ fltA TTTTV1
bUC lUtd cot VI IUC CJLiUVUmCUt AUUU VJ
the Theological Seminary of Erskine
College, makes a report, in the last
issue of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian,
of the amounts collected from
the churches he has visited for this
purpose. We observe that the church
at Chester has contributed SI,175;
Hopewell $686.25. No report is made
from Union church.
More Postal Notes Required.?

be required during the first year, judging
from reports received from ten oJ
the principal postoffices in the United
States, will exceed the estimates by
over one million notes. Some important
modifications will be made; the
color of the paper?yellow?will be
changed, and the space where the
amonnts are filled will be plainer,
The number of money orders has 11 ol
fallen off, as anticipated. There is
only a decrease of twelve or fonrteer
per cent.
In Ereor.?The following erroneous
notice of a "VYinnsboro ordinance ha*
beeu going the rounds of the press:
An ordinance has been passed by the
town council of "VVinnsboro to prevem
the storing or delivering of guano oi
other commercial fertilizers within th<
cox*porate limits of the town.
The ordinance really passed in effeci
prevents the storage of guano withir
the corporate limits of the town aftei
May 1st, just about the time when al
the guano will be in the ground fer
tilizing the crops of the county. Th<
ordinance reported would have beei
better than the one really enacted.
A Sign of Kaix.?The Andersor
Intelligencer is responsible for the fol
lowing: "While we were standing or
a street corner the other day wonder
ing where we could pick up a bit 01
news, we overheard two old genflemei
discussing the weather. After making
various predictions as to what sort 01
weather we would have during- the
balance of the year, one of them re
marked: "I have always noticed thai
when a cow scratches her right eai
with her hind foot, we are sure to hav<
a rain." Take notice hereafter auc
you can tell whenever it is going t(
rain "
Can't Maury??The Chester papers
make bold the assertion that "all the
young attorneys in that place are mar
riedj who can get any one to hav(
them.-*' This is rather hard on the
fraternity, when it is remembered thai
Chester still shelters four or five un
married young gentlemen of the lega
persuasion. "We remember to have
beard a young man in Wumsboro 1101
long since lament that he "was 1101
properly appreciated." A little inter
change of sympathy between them
might be a wholesome thing, and upon
request we will forward to the Chester
attorneys the address of the "Boro

Cotton Statement.?The following
is the comparative cotton statement for
? <he week ending January 25, 1S84:
Net receipts at all United States ports
during the week 103,035; to same time
last year 135,161; total receipts to this

Death.?Mr. Jonathan Rabb, of
Monticello, in this county, died at his
residence on Thursday last. Mr. Rabb
was afflictcd with Brisrht's disease of
the kidneys aud had been for some
weeks previous to his death confined
to his bed, during which time he suffered
much pain. The deceased was
about sixty years of age and left a
widow and a large family ol children
and grandchildren. Mr. Rabb was an
energetic, honest and skilful planter,
and in his death the State loses a useful
and active citizen, and his family
and relatives, an affectionate and trusted
friend. With widow and children,
with friends and kindred, all who
knew him will nnite to lament his
death and do honor to his memory. A
sweet aud happy repose to the ashes of
the dead!
The New Rates.?The Charlotte,
Columbia, and Augusta Railroad, with
its branches, has gone back to first
principles and resumed the sale of
thousand mile tickets on the same conditions
and at the same prices as heretofore.
The passengers rates under
the new laws are 3$ cents a mile for
1 first class and 3 cents a mile for second
1 class tickets. The same road has also
submitted to the Commission the new
> rates on cotton and fertilizers, and they
have been approved and went into
, effect on Monday. In examination
_ *?i.i ??iun
, ana approving tuu new iai.cs, tuc ou.u- |
? mission have been careful in guarding
* against everything that might look
' towards discrimination in any way.
No other classes of rates have been
, disturbed by the management under
i the new law, and there is very little
change in the cotton rates agreed upon.
[ ?
Fire in Columbia.?Columbia was
considerably alarmed on the night of
the 21st at the prospects of a large and
; destructive fire in the heart of the city.
Ahnnf miilniorlif thp> firp-liplls ran** aild
LAWVWW ~ o
volumes of smoke pointed to the fire
on the most central and closely packed
block on Main street. The block contains
the Columbia Hotel and others i
of the finest buildings in the city. The
! fire originated in the rear of the
second-story building occupied by
Richbourg's jewelry establishment and
Mr. Hennies's photographic studio.
The fire was shortly extinguished,
after doing considerable damage to the
building, but little or no injury resulted
either to Mr. Richbourg's or Mr.
Hennies's ?tock. It was fortunate indeed
that the fire was gotten nnder
control just when it was, and Columbia
is to be congratulated on the escape.
Death.?Mrs. Malinda Keith, of
this place, died at the residence of her
; daughter, Mrs. Priscilla Eetchin, on 1
' last Monday evening1, the 21st inst.
Mrs. Keith was in the seventy-eighth
year of her age, and general feeble1
uess together with a probable paralysis
I of the heart was the cause of her
death. She was, on Monday morning,
op and about as usual, and at one
o'clock was taken suddenly ill, and
died in the afternoon of the same day.
^ Mrs. Keith had lived for many years
iu Winnsboro, and many friends and
relatives are left behind to mourn her
departure and keep fresh the memories
' of her exemplary life. The remains
! were interred in the graveyard of
: Scion Presbyterian church on Tuesday,
'' and the funeral services performed by
the Rev. D. E. Jordan, assisted by the
^ Rev. John T. Chalmers.

i Chester Wall Flowers -The Chester
Bulletin of last week, contains a
spicy account of the recent leap-year
bail in that place. A fnll description
of the general features of the occasion
given, particular incidents are gone
[ into with a temerity simply astounding.
? The following sDecimen will suffice to
i illustrate: "We say enjoyed, though

t
[ Pardoned.?Alfred Smith, colored,
? who was convicted, at the September
term of the Conrt of General Sessions,
t of arson and sentenced to life imprisonment
in the State penitentiary, was
? on Tuesday, the 22nd inst., pardoned
[ by Governor Thompson. He returned
) home on the up train on Tuesday. The
facts and circumstances of his trial are
fresh in the memories of all, and it
5 will be/emembered that the evidence
i upon which he was found guilty was
entirely circumstantial; and although
i none have questioned the integrity of
5 the jury, yet doubts of guilt were entert
tained by many theughtful and cou
scientious men who were present
1 throughout the entire trial. The exi
istence of this doubt probably gave
t birth to some sentiment in favor of the
^ HPKa rr-o? nrv

by Col. KiOD, who was the counsel for
r
Smith at his trial. It was headed with
the signature of Judge Fraser, who
then presided,ana was signed oy neiy-jy
all the members of the bar and by the
county officials. Some difference of
opinion exists as to the propriety of
the Governor's action.

to the advertisement of Mr.
Frederick Boldfc, published in another
eolumn. He has now made arrangements
to supply everything usually
kept at a first-class restaurant, and he
will use his best endeavors to give
entire satisfartion. He will also keep
a stock of canned goods and shelf
groceries, all of which he will sell
venr low.
Mr. R. M. Huey has just received a
large invoice of new goods?Timothy
hay, prime white corn, choice family
flour, farming implements, German
kaiuit, etc.?besides his usual stock of
miscellaneous groceries. In all departments
he has taken care to select
goods best suited to the local trade,
and he will be sure to please all who
may buy from him. "When you want
anything in his line, be certain to give
him a call.
Messrs. A. Williford & Co. announce
that they have recently purchased, at
extremely low figures, the entire stock
of dry goods, clothing, notions, etc.,
which was formerly in the establishment
of Mr. J. Groeschel, in the Gerig
building. Those goods are in large
part recent purchases, and they are not
"old stock" to be thrown off at any
price. The lot was bought low down,
and will be sold accordingly. The
business is in charge of Messrs. A. "W.
Brown and R. H. Simpson, who will
always be pleased to serve their friends.
We bespeak for the new house a very
large trade.
TILL CAPTURED BURGLARS.
The Parties Who Entered Messrs. P. Iandecker
& Bro.'s ptore Probably Arrested
in Charlotte, N. C., and the Goods Identified.
The burglars who recently broke

and Bro. and carried away a portion
of their stock have been tracked to
Charlotte, N. C., and the parties are
now doubtless in the custody of the
police authorities of that city. The
persons arrested are Jim Gillespie,
Henry Lane, Taylor Martin and one
Broom field, and they are, in the opin-!
I ion of the Charlotte Obsei%ver1 "undoubtedly
experienced burglars and
| have been concerned in many rob
beries about that section." The supposed
burglars are all' colored and are
strangers in this section of the country.
The Observer of Thursday says of the
arrest and of the goods found :
The police "were busy all day yesterday
in hunting up goods that had been
stolen by these thieves, and succeeded
in finding quite a quantity. All of the
goods recovered arc in the hands of
Chief of Police McNinch, waiting
identity by the owners. Among the
Jot are several suits of ready-made
ciothing, ladies' and men's shoes,
cloaks, underwear, jewelry, three
watches, two bottles .of morphine and
various other articles. Mr. Baxter
Caldwell identified one of the watches
as the same that was stolen from his
hmisp some time a^o.
The following is a complete list of
the articles recovered from the burglars:
Two accordeons, one pair gray
pants, three pairs of black pants; one
black overcoats, two ladies' cloaks
(black), three linen shirts, one nudershirt,
one red worsted dress, child's
lace collar, satin bound, eighteen yards
red and brown worsted dress goods,
four pairs ladies' shoes, four pairs

bracelets.
Upon a telegraphic call from the
Chief of Police of Charlotte, Mr.
Phillip Landecke:* took the earliest
train tor that city on mursaay, ior
the purpose of identifying if possible
Ills stolen goods. Private advices
from him arc authority for the statement
that a large part of the goods
taken has been found and identified by
him. The parties' will probably be
brought here for trial if anything is
left of them when the outraged tarheels
are avenged.

TBE CRIME OF Alt SOX.
Messrs. Editors'. The crime of arson
is punishable capitally, unless the
criminal be recommended to the mercy
of the presiding judge, in which case
life imprisonment is the penalty. This
is statute law. The following is a
recent amendment: If the convict is
recommended to the mercy of the
Governor, four months' imprisonment
is sufficient to wipe away his sin,
though he has burned the humble
dwelling of a poor negro widow. I
would respectfully beg leave to offer
another amendment, viz: If the prisoner
be recommended to the mercy of
the President, he be set free and granted
a pension for life. Lex.

AN OUTRAGE ON OUR CITIZENS.
Messrs. Editors: The prodigal son
has returned, and the fatted calf has
been killed, and he. no doirt>t, has been
welcomed by the leading citizens of
"Winnsboro. I see in our midst again
the notorious and vile wretch Alfred
Smitb, a negro who, during the Radical
regime, always made himself conspicuous
as a leader of the "party",
and did all he could to crush out the
white man, and who, at the last term
of conrt at "Winnsboro, was tried by
twelve of our best citizens and found
guilty of the burning of the dwellinghousj
of a poor negro widow, aud was
sentenced to serve a life term in the
-penitentiary, and now, after a few
months, he* is turned out on the community,
and how and by whom? By

Leading Lawyers, backed up by a few
of the fraternity and some of oar
would-be prominent citizens. Now,
gentlemen, if yon call this just and
via-Tit. do not. and no onft elsp. who
has any idea of justice. But Alfred is
out and pardoned by whom? Has
Moses escaped from his*home on Blackwell's
Island and come back to South
Carolina to release his brother convicts?
No. Alf Smith has been pardoned
by Governor Thompson, a man
whom we all worked to elect, and for
what? For reform. Does Governor
Thompson call this reform? We
would say not, and we are afraid our
good Governor has allowed himself to
be too easily influenced, and we do
think in this instance the pardoning
power of the Governor has been
abused.
We see that Mr. Thos. W. Rabb has
offered a reward of $300 for proof
sufficient to convict a would-be incendiary.
"We would advise Mr. Rabb to
save his money, for if he does succeed
in convicting "the offender, we have no
doubt he will be turned out through

I am opposed to Lynch Law as a
general thing, but if such is to be the
state of things iu this county, we
would advise all good citizens to buy
a shot-gun and take the law in their
own hands, and not come to "Winnsboro
for justice. Such is the opinion
of Impartial Justice.
Cold Weather.
This is the season when exposure will
produce cold on the stomach causing griping
pains, dysentery, cramp colic, &c.
Norman's Neutralizing Cordial counteracts
all these troubles. It allays inflammation
arising from cold and restores the bowels
to their normal condition. *

says: "I have been selling Norman's Neutralizing
Cordial the last three years. It
gives universal satisfaction ana its sales
are increasing. A gentleman from Georgia
offered me 50 cents over the regular retail
price for a dozen bottles if I would get
them for him immediately. *
