only meeting this year at which applications

It is referred to the "Surgeon General"
to determine the nature of "
the man's complaint and accoant for
the missing fraction of time.
?The Young Men's Debating Society

kind will be given at an early day.
Ocr Thanks.?"We are indebted to
the kindness of Mi*. Josiah Gibson, of
* this county, for a nice lot of elegant
Florida oranges, sent us several days
ago. They have just been received by '
Mm-direct from his brother's grove in

Florida. Their conseqnent freshness, ,
'together with the fine quality of the
oranges themselves, makes them very ;
deliQtous. We never fail to appreciate '
such evidence of kindly remembrance
on the part of our friends. j

University Publishing Company and ,
* has begun his tour over the county in 1
the interest of Maury's series of }
Geographies, published by that com- :
pany. . Mr. McMaster is energetic and
stirring and his selection for the posi- <

: Sergeant Bates.?The somewhat
^celebrated Sergeant Bates visited
Winnsboro on Monday morning. He
will be remembered as the person who,
"in 1867, undertook to walk through :
the South, waving a United States
flag?this, to show that a Union man '
with a Union flag floating in the breeze \
was very safe in the "lately insurrec- tionary"
States. It is needless to say
that the Sergeant was unharmed. His
recent journeying seems to have 110
.great end in view. At each place he
delivers a sort of lecture upon general
.politics, and upon the duty of the people
to take greater iDterest in public
affairs. His address here was deliver
eredin front of the court-house, just
-: before the opening of the Sessions. It
was respectfully listened to by a crowd
vof about seventy-five persons. The
Sergeant has given np marching. He

-' A Serious Accident.?Capt. J. P.
'Maefie, who resides abont eight miles
from town, met with a very painful
? -and serious accident on last Tuesday,
the 5th inst. Attendipg to the cutting
of some trees near his house on the
. : ' Jfe ' ' - - -
morning named, the Captain was in
reach of one of the trees when falling,
and attempting to get out of the way,
one of the limbs from the falling tree
broke off and struck him a fearful
blow across the head and face. The
limb was of considerable size, and
falling some distance, the injury inflicted
was consequently of a serious
character. His head is considerably
bruised, but the sknll is probably not
fractured in any way. His face is
badly hurt in addition, and he is now
confined to his bed and suffers intensely.
The physician in attendance pronounces
the injuries not dangerous.
We hope he may soon recover from the
effects of the unfortunate accident.
The Musical Enteetainhexts
The Gruber family gave two successive
entertainments in the Thespian
Hall this week?011 Wednesday and
Thursday nights. The programme
was altogether made up of musical
selections upon both nights, and the
nrer?oi?t>! r\f thp nndi<?rn>A ?c fhflf
each part of the programme was exceptionally
well rendered. The performance
of the little girl of eight summers
upon the organ, the rare handling
of the violin by Mr. Gruber himself,
ahci Iast~but not least the sweet
and simple singing of little Annie,
contributed principally to the enjoyment
of a very appreciative andience.
The assemblage upon "Wednesday night
was large, but on the second night,
owing partly to the sameness of the
programme and the fact of several
appointed meetings in town for the
same evening, the andience was small.
Mr. Gruber, in his enthusiasm, talks
and lectures too much, but with this
exception the entertainments were
successful and highly enjoyable.

Monument to Dr. Scrs.?Doctor i
R. B. " Hanahan, of this place, has re
ceived the following letter, which we
deem worthy of publication:
Dear Doctor?The undersigned having
been requested to act as member
from South Carolina, on the committee
appointed by the friends of the ,
late Dr. J. Marion Sims in New York,"'
to secure funds for the erection of a 1
monument which will substantially
recognize the valuable services Dr.
Sims has rendered to the profession
and to the world at large, solicits your
earnest aid in the furtherance of the
object proposed. Your individual 1
subscription will be gladly received, !
and your influence iu securing contributions
from other sources will be .
of much value. The people of our ;
State, as well as the profession, should recognize
the fact that Dr. Sims was 1
one of us- and that the honors he !
justly merited and secured have been
reflected upon his native soil. The
women of the State more especially *
should remember the value of Dr. <
Sims's professional work in relieving :
the suffering and in healing the infirmities
of their sex; and it may reasonably
be expected and believed" that they
will give that co-operation whicn ?
comes so surely from woman's grati- <
tude. i
Contributions of any amount will be j
received and duly acknowledged. (
Yery truly, yours,

personal.?It is with general regret :
that our readers will learn that the 1
i
Rev. W. "W. Mills has resigned the ,
pastoral charge of Salem and Concord j
churches in this county. Mr. Mills 1
has lived among us for upwards of
ifaon? a11 kn '
ULi MUU ILL CLMI HjLLO L A.Lli VS His <
has but grown in general esteem. He <
is moved to accept the call from the i
Presbyterian church at Camden by the
fact that his health will no longer !
stand the strain incident to a county,
pastorate. While we shall be sorry to
Lose him, it is gratifying to know that :
a, most cordial welcome awaits him in |
his new -field. The Camden Journal
of last week says:
It is with no little degree of pleasure
when we announce the fact that Mr. Mills ;
has accpted the call to the Presbyterian
church of this place. He will probably j
assume the duties about the 1st of April.
His acquisition to our community will be
great, and to the church invaluable. We
have known the distinguished divine for
many years, both in peace and war, in the .
hilarity of youth and the soberness of man- ,
hood, and in that intimate knowledge we '
knew him only as the pure and sincere
Christian, a man without reproach and :
above suspicion. Clear, logical and point- :
ed, and with it all sincere and devout, how
fortunate is the Presbyterian church in
having such a pastor. We stretch out the .
warm hand of welcome to him, and we
trust that his harvest may be abundant,
and his stay with us long and pleasant.
The Teachers' Meeting.?Another 1
small meeting of the teachers was held
in the court-honse on Friday morning
the 2nd inst. In the absence of Presi- .
dent Corley, Dr. Boyd, the school
commissioner was called to the chair
and presided during the deliberations
of the day: A letter was read from
Senator Butler stating that he would
in pursuance of the resolutions some
time since passed by the teachers of
Fairfield, have the matter of increasing
the appropriation for the National
Bureau of Education and making it a
permanent institution, referred to the
committee appropriate for the purpose,
and wonld exercise his influhnce to
secure the passage of a measure incorporating
these views. Discussions
were had upon the subjects of the
"standard time'-', the Up-Country
Teacher and upon the propriety of a
Teachers' Library for the teachers ol
Fairfield county. Upon motiou, it
was unanimously resolved to recommend
the Up-Country Teacher to the
favorable consideration and patronage
of the teachers of the country.
Messrs. R. B. Turnipseed, D. B.
Busby, T. E. Bell, Mrs. E. P. Scott,
and Miss Emily Obear, were appointed
a committee to investigate the practicability
of establishing a Teachers
Library. The Rev. Willard Richardson
of this place was elected to address
the teachers at the next regular meeting-.
March, the 7th has been selected
as the time for the next regular assemblage.
The meeting will be held in
the court-house at the usual time.
There is now some hope, that a little
life and enthusiasm may yet be infused
into our teachers and none will more
heartily than we note the evidence
of coming life. We have material of
the best quality and nothing is needed
but contact.
License for Crime.?On last Monday,
the 4th inst., the authorities of
Winnsboro licensed certain men and
one woman to ply the tricks of their
respective trades on the streets and
withiD the incorporate limits of the
town. Since that time the gentlemen
in authority have appreciated the evils
of Monday's work and by ordinance
have increased such licenses to fifty
dollars a day. The action of the
council is commendable and praiseworthy,
but have they gone far enough
iu this matter? Have they the right
to license such swindling establishments
at all? Are not the practises
of these men clear violations of the
noiifll lawc r?f flip Xfatp? Tf sr? r>]Anr
ly no license or permit for any amount
of money whatsoever, should be granted
by the authorities of any town for
the commission of an act esteemed and
pronounced a crime against the public.
Section 2,508 of the General Statutes
of the State reads: "Whoever shall
inveigle or entice, by any arts or devices,
any person to play at cards, dice
or other games, etc., * * * or
shall overreach, cheat or defraud by
any other canning, swindling arts and
devices, so that the ignorant and uuwarv,
who are delnded thereby, lose
their money or other property, every
such person exercising such infamous
practices shall, on conviction thereof,
in any court of competent jurisdiction,
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,"
etc., etc. Persons who saw or were
in any way enticed to tiy their luck
with the tricksters of last Monday
will readily agree with us in saying
that their acts and doings are covered by
the section of the Statutes above quoted.
We hope in future that the town council
of Winnsboro will see proper to
refuse license at any price to the par
ties referred or to any or mat stripe.
THE COURT OF SESSIONS.
rbe Business of the February Term
Promptly Commenced?-The Grand and
Petit Juries?Cases Tried.
The February term of the Court of
General Sessions for Fairfield couutv
opened on Monday morning, his Honor
A.. P. Aldricb, judge of the second
judicial circuit, presiding.
The following grand jurors answered
to their names: Saml. "W. Broom, G.
C. Bacot, Robt. P. Brown, Butler
Burley, Gray Boulware, Ben Colvin
(colored), Henry Copeland (colored),
Matthew Herron, Butler P. Hoffman,
Eber H.Mason, Wade Pickett (colored),
Robert J. Stewart, Thos. E.
Smith, Wra. I. Turkett, Jesse T. Terrace,
Wm. M. Yougue. Mr. Saml. W.
Broom was chosen foreman. Mr.
Jesse T. Terrace was excused from
further attendance.
His Honor then proceeded to* charge
me grand jury a* 10 ineir uuucs. ne
congratulated tbem upon the evidences
material progress in the county, observable
since his last visit. He hoped
that the efforts to build factories and to
diversify the industries of the State
would prove generally successful As
to the duties of the grand jury his
Honor reminded them that they are the
grand inquest of the county?all of the
affairs of the county being subject to
their supervision. Especial attention
should be given to the county commissioners
ana the trial justices. The former
have entire control of the finance of *
the couuty, and their duties are there
tore very imporcaiir. xne mat justices
seem to be a very troublesome set of
people. Cases of the most trivial
character are heard at great loss of
Lime, and at great expense to the county.
The trial justices should exercise
greater discretion in issuing their warrants.
It appears that there are a large
number of criminal cases?about fifty
to be tried at this term. This will
consume much time, and involve great
expense. It is to be regretted that the
Legislature did not pass the bill to
provide a stenographer for this circuit.
Having such an officer not only insures
much greater accuracy in the
takiug of the testimony, but would
save much time and thus greatly decrease
the current expenses of court.
It is to be hoped that the Legislature
will soon take steps to provide
stenographers for all the circuits.
After some general instructions as
fr? thn rlntipc nf thp cri?<in^ inrv ill r?OSS
ing upon bills, bis Honor directed
them to retire for the consideration of
such cases as the Solicitor had ready
for them.
The Solicitor then handed out some
bills of indictment, and the grand jury
retired.

his consistent course during the last
five years, and more especially the
past twelve months, the President has
well earned the Big Button, you will
hereby announce his name as a candidate
for the same, and oblige
Many Bachelors. .
The urgent solicitations of many
thoughtful and warm-hearted bach?
elors have induced the Prosecuting
Attorney to announce himself a candidate
for the Big Button. That be
has worthily worn the small one is
plea enough for his early promotion.
Messrs. Editors: flease annonuce
the Aknood of Swat as a candidate for
the Big Button at the annual meeting
of the Bachelors' Union, and oblige

ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK.
?Mrs. James Kee, of Richburg,
paid a short visit to Mr. J. A. Tnrkett's
on the 29th ult. and returned on
the 2nd. She was formerly a well
known and sociable resident of Cedar
Creek.
?Mr. David Moore, living at Cane

our vicinage on the 27th ult. Apparently
the "swamp" agrees with him,

sant by-gone days when our esteemed
neighbor, we wish him abundant success
in buying cattle for that market.
?The Rev. J. "W". Entzminger has
accepted the call at Buffalo Baptist
church. He being a faithful servaiit in
the discharge of his pastoral relations
we sincerely wish him an improved
health?from which indescribable blessing
he has been deprived in a.great
measure for several years.
?The valuable horse occasfcrai&Jy
driven to Mr. C. A. Abell's lumber
wagon and owned by that gentleman
took fright at the approaching cars .on
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta
Railroad, 011 the 29th nit., and was
thrown in a runaway by an entanglement
of gears and considerably injured.
The lameness appears in a
front shoulder and we hope time and
attention will speedily remove it.
? Under the skilful supervision of
Mr. "VY. H. Padgett a large and capacious
school house has just been, completed
near Abell's saw-mill. It. is

well fitted up with corresponding

aud wide-awake patrons dreading a
fire-place have ordered, through Mr.
J. H. Cummings, a suitable store.
Miss Lula Trapp, a daughter of Mr.
C. 0. Trapp, of Crooked Run, will
occupy it as principal. We suggest
for a name "Weldon Academy".
?Mr. Simpson Sherrill, of our commnnitv.
has netted during the past
season upwards of one hundred and
eighty partridges. We hear that another
gamester of that family, Mr.
Ed. Lever, has been more successful.
As bird traps are rarely ever seen
nowadays since the reduced rates of
breech-loaders, would it not be a capital
idea to suggest a thorough dispensation
of such modes of procuring a
pie or pet and purchase each one for
another season some skeins of flax for
a net. If unanimously agreed upon

in abundance, but the old cow now
lowing at the barn-yard gate, will be

Holly Dale school to a close, and as
Wilkes "Wyles heard the whisperings
of a school basket picnic, you may
rest assured he assembled as promptly
as most interested patrons. Seating
biraseif in silence he listened and
gazed with fixed attention a3 the welltutored
youthful scholars rehearsed in
a manner not alone becoming and
praiseworthy to themselves, but to
their proficient teacher, a resident of

News from the MontScello and Dawkins
Section?Arrests for Violation of the Kevenne
Laws-Mr. Swygert's Loss?Schools
Needed, Etc.
Jfes.<?rs. Editors: The best government
the sun ever shown upon continues
to wage war upon its inoffensive
citizens and two arrests have been
made in this particular section. The
charges noon which the arrests were
c-- ?x
made consisted in an alleged violation
of the United States internal revenue
laws by certain parties who, it is
claimed, have been engaged in retailing
whiskey without license. George
Cunningham and Adger Thompson,
two -.colored men from this section,
were arrested by a United States marshal
upon the above charges. Both
have since been admitted to bail and
are now at home again. It is a significant
fact that both men went to
Columbia during the political trials as
witnesses for the defence. It is well
known that whiskey has been sold inthis
county in violation of the law,
and it is 'right that guilty parties
should be arrested and Dunished. but
the emissaries of the Department of
Justice (so-called) are not seeking for
those who have violated the laws of the
United States, bat they are only anxious
to punish those who have deserted
from their ranks to join the side of
decent people.
Mr. J. S. Swygert, one of Fairfield's
most enterprising and prosperous citizens,
met with quite a heavy loss last
Friday. The boiler of a sixteen-horse
power engine exploded, totally wrecking
the machinery and seriously damaging
the mill-house. The house had
just been completed ana nttea up ior
ginning and grinding with expensive
machinery. Loss between three and
four thousand dollars. The engineer
was blown all to pieces, and a woman
who was standing near the engine was
seriously, if not fatally, injured. Both
of the victims were negroes. The explosion
was caused by allowing the water
to get too low in the boiler, and then
turning a new supply of cold water
into the red hot boiler. I don't think
it pays to entrust complicated and expensive
machinery to the tender mercies
of ignorant negroes. The negro
sometimes gets killed and the machinery
is snre to be damaged in the long
rnn. This loss will be felt by the
whole community as it will take sometime
to replace the machinery if it is
ever done.
Mr. Charles Free, an old and respected
member of this community,
died and was buried on last Monday.
It was a surprise to me to hear that
something, I know not what, in my
last letter <jave offense to some of the
good people in this section, as I am
ignorant of the cause of offense. I

"What was written is true, and for
troth no apology is necessaiy.
The people of the Broad River and
Dawkins neighborhood are very auxious
to'have a school established near
them, as it conld be *done without
detriment to other established schools,
and it would be of great benefit to the
people of that portion who are at
present almost deprived of any school
advantages. Cannot the county school
commissioner aid them in some way?
The matter is worthy of investigation,
and timely attention might save fature
trouble aiid be ol present benefit to all

Dear lady, there is probably no use telling
you that fashionable life in a great
city is a rough one on your beauty. Late
hours, loss of sleep ana mental excitement
will leave you by and by shorn of those
beautiful tresses .which drew lovers around
you in other years. Artificial substitutes
can never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Parker's Hair Balsam will stop
your hair from falling out, restore its natural
color and softness, and prove cleansing

WHAT STBUCE an OLD SOLDIBB,
"It will soon be twenty years since the 1
war closed."
Under the hot sun of August, 1882, the
village of Dover, 3ST. J., lay still as the
sphinx in Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of
that place, slowly and softly si>oke of the
past "Yes," he said, "I was in the army
and saw m&nv of the sights of those fear- .
ful years. I "was finally discharged from <
disability, resulting sunstroke. I came .
home, miserable in nealth and spirits; so
enfeebled that I took cold on the slightest
exposure. Life seemed worthless to me,
I lived only in memory."
' That was sad enough," I said, dividing j
my last two cigars. i
"That's so," responded Mr. Sharp; "but i
I got over it. Outgrew it? Not exactly.
When in that condition I began taking <
.farker's tonic, ana my ueauu commenced
to improve right away. I was
astonished at it, and so was my wife. I ]
piled on the flesh and could eat anything, j
My ambition blazed up. I could attend to <
business, and now?excepting that I have i
t6r-take care about exposing myself to the ]
hot sun?I am as well as I was the day I \
enlisted. What differences there are in
things?guns and bayonets kill; Parker's
Toxic saves."
This preparation, which has been known (
as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter
be called simply Parker's Tonic. As un principled
dealers are constantly deceiving .
their customers by substituting inferior articles
under the name of ginger, and as <
ginger is really an unimportant ingredient, ^
we drop the misleading word. i
There is no clianne, however, in the preparation
itself, and all bottles remaining in
the hands of dealers, wrapped under the
nam p. of Parkes's G-inger Tonic, contain
the genuine medicine if the facsimile sig- J
nature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of
the outside wrapper. (adv.)
