duties Mr. Zealy has shown sound
judgment and a proper appreciation of
the responsibilities of his positionqualities
fitly recognized in his reappointment.
Still Bubnt.?Information has been
L - -received of the burning of the turpen0
tine distillery of Mr. W. B. Hogan, in
4he Blythewood neighborhood, ou
Wednesday night. We have not learned
the origin of the fire. The loss was
considerable, and there was no insurance.
Personal.?Mr. Thomas C. Scott,
the traveling agent of the Thornwell
Orphanage at Clinton, S. C., paid us a
pleasant call on Wednesday. Mr.
Scott is now traveling m toe nutrest
of the Orphanage and of the monthlyedited
and published there. We are
- glad to learn that he is meeting with
deserved success in Fairfield.
Two Children Burxt.?The house
of a negro named Heury Oglesby, near
Shelton, in this county, was destroyed
by fire on Saturday at half-past one
o'clock. His two children were locked
in the house wheu the fire occurred,
one of whom was burned to death and
the other very badly. The parents
were at work in the fields.
The Colored Firemex.?The colored
fire engine company?the "Regulars^?paraded
on Thursday afternoon.
The engine was in fine trim, and the
uniforms looked as fresh and handsome
as could be desired. The turnout
of men was rather small, bnt this
we presume was due to unavoidable
'circumstances. Iu case of fire it will
4>e decidedly larger.
XiDncrKANTS.?Ten or twelve immigrants,
fresh from the Highlands of
Scotland, arrived in "Winnsboro several
days ago, and were taken directly to
iRock City Quarry, where they have
' 5

is fortunate is being able to in*
dncc such immigrants to come and develope'her
resources. They are honest,
Sturdy, hard-working men, and will
doubtless.make good citizens. "
Skating Rink.?Mr. J. O. Boag is
. now, making preparations for the erection
of a building upon the lot adjoining
his residence for the purpose of
opening a skating rink. It will be
forty by one hundred feet, fully large
enongh for a hall of this kind. This
has been one of the needs of our town
. for years, and the young people are to
l be congratulated upon the prospects of
a flue place of amusement and sport in
the early future.
Incidents op the Cyclone.?It is
told upou authority that the cyclone was
so terrific and unsparing in some portions
of the county that even the feathers
from the backs of the chickens
were blown off and. many of them left
"without any covering at all. Qthers
again narrate it as a fact that the grow*
' ?' "* "k * ?1 ii x_i
*ng oats m places were werauy uu>.cn
off-the soil and blown and scattered
everywhere. These statements are
hard to believe, bnt all the same they
are authoritative and doubtless true.

! Personal.?Among the graduates
from the State Medical College, at

j Wm. D. Bratton, of this county. It
is gratifying to note that Dr. Bratton
' took a very creditable stand in his
class?ranking first among the five
stadents honorably mentioned for
proficiency in the studies of the Col-,

The Game Law.?Several newspapers
having stated that the restrictions
upon the taking or killing- of game
. J i AL . i riL - U n.l.
went into enecc ou tue xoiu 01 xeuruary,
and thereby much inquiry having
been instituted as to the exact prohibitory
date, the following, which is Section
1691 of the General Statutes, is
published for the information of our
readers:
any psreeftin
this State, between the fifteenth day
of March and the first day of October,
in any year hereafter, to" catch, kill or
injure, or to pursue with such intent,
or 10 sen or expuse iyr saie, au? uuu
turkey, partridge, dove, wood-cock or
pheasant; and any person found guilty
thereof shall be fined not less than ten
($10) dollars, or be imprisoned not
less than ten days, which fine, if imposed,
shall go one-half thereof to the
informer and the other half to the
school fund of the county wherein the
offense was committed.
A Common Uniform.?Adjutant and
Inspector-General Manigault has issued
"General Order No. 2," which is of
n- ich public interest. The order
quotes the following section from the
Act passed at the recent session of the
Legislature amending the military law
of the State: "There shall be a general
uniform worn by the volnnteer troops
of the State, and for that pnrpose the
adjutant and inspector-general shall
appoint a commission, consisting of
himself and four members of the State
volunteer troops, who shall prescribe
a regulation uniform to be worn by
officers, non-commissioned officers and
privates of the State volnnteer troops."
\f on' rro rt 1 f on_

points the following-named officers to
serve on the board: Col. J. Q. Marshall,
of the Second (Palmetto) Regiment
of Iufentry; Capt. Millege L.
Bonham, Jr., of the Abbeville Rifles,
Third Regiment of Infantry; Capt.
Chas. F. Haiof Sumter Guards,
Charleston, Second Battalion of Infantry,
and Capt. C. St. G. Sinkler, of the
Eutaw, Light Dragoons, First Bat
tallion of Cavalry. This is unquesiionably
a sfcep in the right direction,
and although it will do away with
many elegant and costly uniforms now
in use, yet upon the whole it will be
better for the volunteer troops of the
State to have a common uniform. We
think, however, that the State government
should defray the expenses incident
to the change demanded. It
would be rather hard upon the different
companies to bear the burdens,
and it would be meet and proper for
the government under the circumstance?
tn save them harmless. "We
would like to hear from members of
the Gordon Light Infantry upon the
subject. Who will speak?

THE BACHELORS.
The Anniversary Meeting?"A Feast of
Tease 'em, and a Flow of the Bowl,"
The Brotherhood of Bachelors held
their annual symposium at their sanctum
on the night of Friday, the 29th
ult. By seven o'clock the jovial, breth
reii began to assemble, for -it was
rumored among them that rare fan
was in store for that night. Mysterious
conclaves of the committees were
known to have been held; strange and
uncouth noises had been heard in the
sanclumn at late hours of the night,
and expectation was all agog. By
about eight o'clock the ranks were
nearly full; the invited gue*ts of the
Press and Bar were present, and the
ghost of a recently departed comrade
had come from the great world beyond
in response lo an urgent request*.
this hour the gavel sounded, the memhorc
nnrt t/nests took off their hats.
I ? ?'
and the anniversary meeting was
opened.
The first business of importance was
the introduction into the order of three
benighted ones from the world of sin
and darkness. One by- one they were
duly introduced, and the Degree of
Confirmed Bachelor' was conferred
upon them with all the-pompous, gorgeous
and dignified ceremonial of the
revised ritual, which was on that occasion
for the first time tried. Over its
beauties the veil of secresy must fell.
Suffice it to say that the candidate in a
journey, first by balloon, then by rail,
then 011 horseback, and at last on foot,
was tanght by striking symbols the
lessons which it is the principal object
of this Union to inculcate. And when
after an interview with the dead, the .
candidate beheld himself as others saw
yhim, we venture the prediction tfoat
the sight was one whose, recollection
shall never be erased from the tablets
of lus memory. The only matter for
regret in the whole ceremony was the
unfortunate fainting of the last candidate
introduced. Overcome by his
feelings as questions of searching import
were being put to him, he fell;
but the accomplished Surgeon General
was at hand, and after having felt his
pnlse, he prescribed that stimulants
should be promptly administered to
all present except the candidate. This
to-qc Hnnp nnrt wp aro Had t,o sav that
?-w 0- j
the sufferer immediately rallied, and
was able to take part in the ensuing
ceremonies in a manner that was as
creditable to himself as it was gratifying
to the spectators. ...
The initiations being concluded, the
Order proceed to an election of officers.
The zealous and worthy present Encumbents
of the offices of President,
Vice-President and Secretary were
re-elected with a unanimity which was
highly complimentary to the efficiency
of their past services. A proposition
was introduced to install these officers
with some nfew ceremonies not hitherto
used or practised, bat the President
frowned down such innovations with
a most righteous scorn and indignation.
* The
new badge of the Order was
\; voted to Vice-President G. B. McCauts
?as the most consistent bachelor, although
charges of a most grave character
were laid against him, and a
complicated series of resolutions were
adopted defining and limiting the use
of this badge. The big button of the
A~A ?
wrutJL" was awiuucu tvnuuui <? uioacming
vote to Akoond of Swat J. H.
Harden as the greatest "masher" in
the Union. The little button was left
in the hands of the present holder.
At the .conclusion of the business,
the Union and its guests adjourned to
Mrs. Brown's Hotel, in the diningroom
of which an ample table was
spread loaded down with a tastefully
arranged and delicious banquet, to
which ample justice was done by all.
The toasts 01 tne evening came next
in order. The first toast was "Leap
Year?the one year in four that members
ot our Order have. to carry on a
strictly defensive campaign; but'being
'forewarned we will be fouud forearmed.
Let us live in the hope that
those who would conquer us will meet
with signal defeat." Responded to by
President T. W. Lauderdale in his
usual happy vein.
The next toast was "The Bar?the
shield of the innocent, the fear of the
guilty, the depot for the thirsty, the
resort of the duellist; may we lead
such lives that we will never fear trial
by her members or refreshments from
her couuters." Responded to by Mr.
H. N. Obear, who has unfortunately
mislaid the manuscript containing the
ex-temr and impromptu remark; he
then made.
The third toast was "Woman?a
time-honored institution that is now
rapidly passing away before the light
of progressive"civilization." Responded
to by Grand Prosecuting Attorney
C. A. Douglass.
The fourth toast was "The Day We
Celebrate?the day that is bailed by us
with feelings of deepest joy, and its
departure Witnessed with - pangs of :
regret." Responded to by Grand
High Chancellor O. TV. Buchanan. ;
llie next toast given was "Educa- :
tion?the bulwark of universal free- :
doni; where a people are blessed with j
her brightening rays will be lound
independence of thought resulting in :
" T'lia confimpnf Wfl<5 1
iiig ivji iu* x uv uVuv??mv?*v ,,? ?
sponded to by Judge Advocate J. "W. ]
Jianahan. j
The next toast was "The Press powerful
in forming the character of j
a people. May our State be always i
blessed with as* excellent a paper as is 1
the one which is now the acknowledged
leader of journalism in South Carolina."
The toast was responded to by
, Mr. N. G. Gonzales, of the staff of the
News and Courier. The speaker 4
spoke in complimentary terms of the 2
organization and of the grand success
of the occa&ion, but cautioned the boys
to remain bachelors iust long enough
and be wise enough to make a change 1
at the right time. ]
The next toast was "The Bachelor? ,
the class that can have purest enjoyment,
unadulterated by cares ana anx- (
ietie3 that surround men in other walks <
of life." Responded to by Surgeo? \
General E. W. Aiken. '
The next toast was "The Married
Man?a creature that is willing to 1
sacrifice his own feelings and to under- '
rrn the hardships of life to DemetuatC f
his race deserves our respect and sympathy."
Dr. Chas. E. Stott, of New {
York, was engaged fro answer to this *
toast, but sickness prevented his being ^
present, and, as last year, the senti- f
ment went by. the board. The
next toast was "Winnsboro? }
a name around which so many pleasant
associations cluster; the place that c
in : after years will be noted as the $
cradle of an organization that is now c
rapidly spreading throughout the land." T
Responded to by Abbi Effendi E. B. 1
Ragsdale. " i'
Thf> upvf toast was "Our Dead? a
hark from the tomb a doleful souud a
comes ringing in onr cars." Responded
to by the ghost of the late Mahara- f
jah of Madagascar A. W. Brown. i
The speeches were all good, some a
humorous, some eloquent, and they c
all were listened to with attention and
received with enthusiasm andapplause. *
It is a source ot regret onr limited t
space, the number of speeches and the a
non-existence of manuscripts prevent t
the publication ot specimen extracts f
from the different addresses.
In the course of the evening the bills o
of indectment by the Prosecuting At- y
torney and several pointed petitions j
for mercy signed, some by old rivals, T
others by the women, were read amid 1
peals or laugnter. Ana mus ine nuurs ^
sped away; ten o'clock came, then t
eleven, and then the hour of midnight s
was ushered Jo, and the Bachelors' ^
festivities continued unabated until '
two. The boys and their guests, one e
by one retired to uieir roosts, and the a
noise and uproar of the banquet were ^
.hashed at last and the happy quiet and ,
repose^)^
THE LIQUOR LA7?7 c
Correspondence Touching: the Powers of
the Town Council. ' - J
Winnsboro, S. C., Feb. 19,1884. ]
Col. Jas. H. liiOTiy Winnsboro, J3. C.: 1
Dear Sm?"We have read, within- J1
terest, your reply to the inquiry of the
Town Council asking for a definition j3
of its duties, under existing laws, in
reference to the sale of spirituous B
T1
liquors wit&out license. "We
interpret your answer as a direct v,
response to the inquiry, and as in no ^
way tending to deny that the Town ]
Council has the power to pass ah ordinance
to prohibit and punish the sale
of spirituous liquors without license.
The "no license" party claims that ^
'tis the duty of the Council not only to
enforc existing laws, but where such ?
laws as the case requires do not exist,
or are inadequate, to use its full pow- ^
ers to enact laics of such a nature as ^
to make effective the will of the peo- j
pie, as expressed in the recent elec- .
tion. If a petition of a sufficient (
number ol citizens obligate tne council
to pass an ordinance forbidding the .
storing of guano (say), shall it hesitate,
as to its obligation, in view of j
the overwhelming majority for "110
license" in the recent election? Or 1
does it wish a petition? u
We request you, therefore, as the c
legal counsel of the "110 license" party t
in the election referred to, to advise its t
executive committee as to the nature r
and scope of the powers vested in the a
Council to pass the requisite ordinance*- 1

Henry L. Elliott, Esq., Chaiman: *
Dear Sir?I am in receipt of your |
communication of the 19th inst.. c
In reply I would state that the Town ?
Council under its charter has the
power to pass an ordinance forbidding c
the sale of intoxicating liquors within t
the corporate limits; or the keeping j
thereof in any noom used for the sale r
of merchandise or adiacent thereto: or *
the keeping thereof in any building
used as a restaurant; or the giving of
the same to any person at the time of
making any sale or while bargaining:
each and every offense to be punisha- ;
ble by a fine of fifty dollars.
The charter requires that all the
town marshals or police shall be sworn
by the intendant to enforce and carry
into execution all the town ordinances.
Such an ordinance, the police doing
their sworn duty, would prevent the
direct and indirect violation of the
license law, and, when violations might j
be detected, add to the resources of the a
town. ?
The ordinance would be legal and
constitutional, and conviction and punishment
thereunder be no bar to indictment
and punishment under the State
license laws. This has been so decided
by our oid Appeal Court.
In justification of the present Town
Council I would remark that there has
beeu no request on the part of the citi
zeus to pass any ordinance on the subject
of the sale of intoxicating liquors.
I do not know the wishes of the Council,
but I think a petition for the pas- <
sage of an ordinance, such a I have
indicated, would be promptly responded
to by the Council.
Your obedient servant, g
Jas. H. Rion, Attorney. j

The Duty of the County Commissioners.
Rion's Law Office,
Winnsboro, S. C., 29th Feb., 1884.
Messrs. County Commissioners:
Gentlemen?I aui in receipt of yonr
inquiry of the 21st iust., as to your
duty under Section 1734, General Statutes,
relating to violations of the
liquor laws, wherein it is provided:.
"The County Commissioners are spe
cially charged witn the duty ol obtaining
information as to the Violation of I
any of the provisions of this chaptcr, i
and with the duty of instituting prose- *
cutions therefor." c
Your question is a difficult one to ?
answer, as the chapter no where states t
how you are to "obtain information", i
and provides 110 machinery or sub- *
officers to enable you to discharge the 1
duty imposed. *
I suppose, however, that the mean- 1
lug is, that when tort hear that the
law is violated iu any locality, oi* by
any particular person, you must make
inquiries and endeavor to obtain the
necessary information upon which to
hasp, an indictment. Furthermore;
jrou should, whenever you obtain the
necessary information, either have a
trial justice issue his warrant, or report
your information to the grand
fury for its action.
The same section provides that the
person or the officer detecting and
reporting offenders shall receive onebalf
of the fine ($200) imposed.
Yours respectfully,
Jas. H. Kiox, Attorney.

;oing into town from the south, 011 a
irominent hill, and its bell tower gives
he appearance and air of a city to the
ilace.t It has only been recently.comileted,
rendering it neat and comortable
inside. It faces the north,
laving a large portico in front. The
urniture and equipages are of the
atest and most improved style and
inish. On this occasion at its southern
xtremity had been arranged a stage
astefully and elegantly adorned with
freen trellised vines, giving it an air
>f springtime and welcome. On the
>ack of it was charmingly arranged a
ady's boudoir, with its usual concomtants
of mirrors and et-ceteras, too
lumerons for a bachelor to mention.
Mr. Urnwfi MeMaster announced

alld "Marplot". Two pretty young
adies had fixed their youthful affecions
upon their own favored gall an ta,
mknown and contrary to the wishes
>f their natural guardian, who wished
o direct their inclinations in the mater,
but as usual Cupid's wiles were too
ouch for their respected maternal
mcest-ors, and verified the old adage,
'Love laughs at obstacles". . The old,

ang merrily out and iu accord with

it echoed and re-echoed as if feiu

Miss HickJiii? and Miss Matlie
Jackorell sustained their parts with
idmirable tact and taste, showing
heir genins and talent of a high
rder; and only experience and opporanity
are wanting to place thern fully
ibreast of those who make the stage
heir profession. The first, a brniette,
was attired entirely in white,
howing to its utmost the beauty of
ler style, while her dark tresses were
Mowed to flow freely in the breeze,
rhe second, a complete blonde, with
lef fair complexion and golden locks,
howing, in striking contrast with the

2ow happy was their contrast; how
frateful to be placed together to show

is it were, and enhance the relish of

spectacles. It showed the manager

Messrs. Editors, I would fain call
the attention of the Prosecuting Attorney
to a certain bachelor pedagogue
who earned on a system of quiet
coqnetry and smiles with a certain
school mistress while the exercises
were being carried or. He claims it
was a conversation abont teaching a
new text-book, but certain it is not
laid down in Maury's Geography or
any books we have ever perused.
This, Messrs. Editors, is against their
constitution and in direct defiance of
the bachelor's state, its teachings and
against the laws in that case made and
provided, and against the peace and
dignity of the same state aforesaid.

greatly to the enjoyment of
the evening. At last it came to an
end, as all things must, Messrs. Editors,
when Mr. John McCrorey com-1
manded us to spena tne mgnt witn
him, and we obeyed the order, spending
a pleasant time in the house of his
hospitable parents. We were waiting
and watching for the approach of the
south-bound freight train when we
were waited upon by Mr. Banks
Thompson, who politely insisted upon
oar taking dinner with him. Oar demurrers
were of no avail, and we
went and can now understand why
Blackstock lays so. much iu store by
that "genial scholar. He teaches the
scholars to be' gentlemen as well as
learned. Long may he Jive the honor
and pride of "the Blackstock High

We boarded the train and then
wished Blackstock a reluctant goodbye,
conscious of a pleasant time well
enjoyed among the hospitable citizens.

"Surely we cannot, and for myself I

the advance in life is not attended

my share of that. Not long since my health
utterly broke down. My system was full
of malaria. My digestion became thoroughly
disordered and my nerves were in a
wretched state. I was languid, ate little
and that without enjoying it, and had no
strength or ambition to perform even my
Jight household duties. Medical treatment
failed to reach the seat of the trouble. The
disease?which seemed to be weakness of
all the vital organs?progressed until I had
several attacks which my physicians pronounced
to be acute congestion of the
stomach. The last of these was a desperate
struggle and I was given up to die. As
the crisisnad partially passed, my husband
