Smith, a colored man, underwent a severe surgical operation on Sunday last?the amputation of both his legs, below the knee.

Bound for Florida.?Mr. J. W. Bolick, of Feasterville, in this connty, *- kir- rvvano^h* irifii la uuw sciiing vui ino nivu the intention of removing to Florida about the first of February. A considerable number of our useful, practical and successful farmers have left the county recently, and "still they go"! 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.

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.? jljlic liuiilLTCi. vi ^voiai nvivo tuau hhj 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 uvv . 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 date 3,838,443; to same date last year 4,125,060. Exports for the week 105,285; same week last year 155,856; total exports to this date 2,339,386; to same 1 date last year 2,663,916. Stock at all - United States ports 1,142,608; same time last year 880,339; stock at all interior towns 168,131; sa-nc time last ; year 174,619; stock at Liverpool 742, 000; same time last year S2l,uuu; stock of American afloat for Great Britain 32-2.090; same time last year 289,000. 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 we fear that not all of the belles pro ^ tem. consider leap-year parties the best 1 fields for the display of their attracr tivcness to the girls. Iu particular it * is whispered that a certain yonng law" yer, who has heretofore thought him3 self (when his extensive practice al1 lowed him to thint of- himself at all). rather a conquering hero, found out by j sad experience what a wall flower is. . But as he is very fervid in his declamafirmc. nf tho ornnrl fimft lift xvn mrisfc j """3'" ? . suppose this to be a mistake, and conf sider that he is fond of solitary medil tation." 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 L pal uuli* JLii^ x LIVAJ nao u^/ 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. Jurors for the February Court.? The following is the list of grand and peiit jnrors drawn to serve at the February term of court: Grand Jurors?Eber M. Mason, "rnhm-f j. Stewart. Ren Calvin (color ed), Robert H. Ford, Saml. L.

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 4-1-vAOCI'P "P T.on/lo/^L*oi? 1UIU LliC 9LV1C U1 lugooio. JL 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 men's shoes, one pair rubber overshoes, one gray vest, two scarfs, one black valise, one flesh-colored valise, ?

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. HYMENEAL. Married?On January 26th, at the residence of Mr. Fred. Hughes, in Fairfield county, South Carolina, by Trial Justice Thomas, Mr. "Walter Hughes to Miss Lizzie McCabe, both of Richland county, South Carolina. ?Brewer's Lung Restorer is entirelv vegetable, and we challenge the Tjffrld to produce anything equal to it for alwThroat and Lung Diseases. f * / X 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. [communicated. 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 rt r?Af?f?An /rnff/in nn \\\r A\1D /vP ATil* CL p&UlXUXi i(|y VJ J vnv W4 vui 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 fa?*ia aP Ann T T.Qr*?rrni*e is I. VUL JUMIT 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. * Offered 50 Cents Extra. XfV r W TToT-tro-17 T-rmfT S. C.. 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. * STOTICJE TO TEACHERS TEACHERS of Fairfield, you are requested to meet at the Court House Friday, February 1st, 1884.
