Nothing except routine busi- ' ncss work was transacted. The affairs of the county are in good condition. ?The Lexington Dispatch says: "The ladies of Lexington are certainly over modest. They are refusing to enter into the state of connubial bliss this year lest it be said that they took advantage of their leap year privileges and made the proposals themselves." ?We have just received fifty tons of Monarch Guano.

Feb. 21* ?The real estate and personal property sold on last salesday (Monday) brought Mr and reasonable prices ior ibis season of the year and "considering the hard times". A considerable crowd was in attendance upon the sales. ?It is said by entirely trustworthy persons that daring the late storm in the Salem neighborhood, a shingle was blown against a tree, with sueb force as to penetrate the wood, and pass almost through it. The shingle now stands sticking' in the tree. ?Dr. B. J. Quattlebaum reqnests the announcement that he will be ab - seat from town until next Wednesday, the 13th inst, on professional business. ' Parties desiring work done by him need not call until the latter part of fcert week.

Dr. Bart, suavity itself, looks as though he al' lowed 'no wave of trouble to roll across his peaceful breast/ 'and all it costs is a dollar a bottle.'" ?It will be well for our farmers to observe that by a late Act. of. the Legislature tbey are required, daring the month of March, to remove from the . r * running streams upon their lands all trash and obstructions, under penalty of fine and imprisonment. Upon complaint being made to the county com* ^ missioners tbey are required to indict the offender. ?Congressman John J. Hemphill is a member of the Springer Committee in Consress. charsed with investisa ting the conduct of the .United States marshals and internal revenue officials. The committee so far has accomplished much good aud the officials in question are trembling in their boots. Mr. Hemphill is chairman of a sub-committee assigned io duty in the Northwestern States. ?The rival houses of D. Appleton & Co. and the University Publishing Company of New York have, by agreement, withdrawn all of their respective agents from the field in this State, and henceforth the purchasers of school books will be permitted un -ir&mmeled and unmolested to exercise 1 their own choice and judgment. This nrtll vaenlf Kaf ffii* oil no>*_ rv ill uvuL/ixvoo i^ouib AVI au ^aities concerned and we are happy to be able to make public the announcement. ?In November next every office from coroner to President is to be filled by an election. It is about the time now for the aspirants to announce their names for the favor and consideration of the "dear people". The News and Herald realizes the importance of having a big batch of candi dates from which to select the party standard-bearers, and consequently will take pleasure in publishing any nnmberof cards for the various county, State and Federal offices. In this country and in this age the men must seek the offices not the offices the men. Town Election.?It will be seen by reference to a notice published in todav's issue that an election for intend ant and wardens will take place on the first Monday in April next. Candidates for the honors should announce themselves. Important Meeting.?"We are requested to state that there will be a meeting of the survivors of the Twelfth Regiment on Saturday, the 2*2nd inst., at the court-house at twelve o'clock, sharp. A full attendance is earnestly desired and requested as business of importance is to be trans acted. The Times and Democrat.?Mr. S. R. Mellichamp has withdrawn from the editorial conduct of the Orangeburg Times and Democrat, leaving the management of that . * -ellent paper iu the hands of Mr. J. L. Sims. We have no doubt that the paper will continue to occupy its present position ?that of one of the very best county journals ever published in South Carolina. Fob the General Sessions.?The preliminary examination in the case of the State against Isom Coleman, charged with an assault and battery with intent to kill upon the personal Primus Williams, was held before Justice Cathcart on Tuesday, the 4th inst. Messrs. Gaillard & Reynolds appeared for the prosecution and Messrs. McDonald & Douglass for the defence. The defendant gave bond for his appearance for trial at the June term of the Court of General Sessions. A Merited Compliment.?The members of the two literary societies of the South Carolina College have recently elected Prof. R. Means Davis the alumnus editor of the South Carolina Collegian. Mr. J. A. McCollough is now the editor-in-chief. The students of the College certainly were wise in the selection of the alumnus editor. A ripe and accomplished scholar, a ready and vigorous writer, Professor Davis will give to the Collegian a literary tone aud standing equal to any journal of a like character iu the South. Something New.?The Family Circle, a sixteen page illustrated weekly journal for the home, will shortly be issued in Detroit. Every reader of this paper who sends his or her name to the publishers, of the Family Circle, at Detroit, will receive the paper free for six weeks, six numbers in all. If you have frieuds who like good read?? .1 it.:.. ni^, seuu iLien uauica vrnu wiu u??u. $20 a week given for interesting bits of reading matter, either original or selected, and $250 a month to club raisers. Address your post card, The Family Circle, Detroit, Mich. The Festival.?Considering the inclemency of the weather on last Tuesday evening the festival for the benefit of the Methodist parsonage was weli attended. The net earnings of the different tables aggregated about ninety dollars. This is only approximately correct. The funds raised on Tuesday night will, of course, be insufficient to complete the work in contemplation, but it will be a substantial aid in that direction, and for it, the ladies of the Methodist church deserve the hearty well-done of all good, Christian people. Personal.?The Rer. H. B. Pratt, of Lancaster, spent the early part of this week among his old friends and acquaintances in "Winnsboro. Mr. Pratt preached very acceptably for a number of years in the Presbyterian church, in this place, and is now the duly installed pastor of the congregation at Lancaster. He is looking stronger and healthier tbau usual, and his many friends here are glad to welcome him back to his old home. Mr. "William Caldwell and wife, of Hazlewood, Chester county, have been spending several days with the family of Mr. D. R. Flenniken, of this place. New Advertisements.?Mr. J. L. Mimnauzh will give public announce meat iu & few days of the arrival of his unusually large stock of spring goods and of the low figures at which his goods will be retailed. Give Mr. Mimnaugh a call when you come to town. Messrs. A. Williford & Co. offer special inducements to all parties needing articles in the dry goods department in to-day'8 issue of The News and Herald. These gentlemen have 011 hand a splendid stock of dry goods, notions, etc.* and we have no doubt good and reasonably low bargains can be had by giving them a call and inspecting their stock. Go and see for yourselves. Fire Alarm.?About five o'clock or the morning of the 4th inst. the fire bell rang and the alarm of fire was taken np and echoed from one end of town to the other. A little investigation, however, disclosed the fact that it was nothing more than an alarm. A small tenant house about two hundred yards above the residence of Mr. T. K. Elliott, along the line of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Bailroad, had caught on fire, and this was the cause of the excitement and commotion in town. The house being without the corporate limits, unoccup:.^ and at a considerable distance from any residence, little or no efforts were made to save it and the flames in a few hours \ ??I?? rased it to the ground. The origin o: the fire is not definitely known, but i is supposed by some to have been firec by sparks from the engine of the foui o'clock freight train. When first dis covered the roof was in a blaze. COTTON' STATEMENT.?The K>1I0W11)? is the comparative cotton statement foi chc week ending March 7, 1884 Net receipts at all United States port* during the week 68,^67; to same time last year 122,628; total receipts to this date 4,372,128; to same date last yeai 4,984,837. Exports for the week 105, 672; same week last year 128,474; tota' exports to this date 3,009,594; to same date last j-ear 3,351,972.

A Novel Institution.?Among the gifts presented to Mr. B. N. Craig, o] Rock Hill, on the evening of his max*riage was a jug nicely arranged in a cologne case and filled to the brim. II bore the following: "cider wine. "Put up August 22, 1882, and to be presented to the lucky one of the following four who marries first: "W. M, Steele, W. M. Frew, C. Frew, B. N Craig. "The jug when emptied to be retured to the three left." It will then be refilled and put away, And again the old jug will await the second fortunate on the list. "We shall i. x. t -* iL. expect 10 near oi some ui me vuuu^ men in "Winnsboro borrowing the ides at an early day. Results of Competition.?1There has been a considerable redaction in the rates on commercial telegrams by the "Western Union Telegraph Company. To New York the rates have been cnt down from seventy-five cents to sixty cents, and the same reduction has been made upon messages to Penn sylvania and New Jersey. To California and the other Pacific States there is a come down from $1.50 tc $1.00. So it would be safe to say thai the reduction in question throughout the country would average between ntceen and twenty per cent, lhe rates, therefore, of the Western Union and of the Southern Telegraph Company are now about the same for all the different places North, South, East and West. This is but one among the many evidences of healthy competition and we are glad to chronicle the fact. Both companies are now on a sure and solid financial basis, and the existence of two rival offices in Winnsboro cannot but result in good to the mercantile interest of the place. Commendable Liberality.?We arc iudebted to the thoughtfulness and liberality of ihe Travelers' Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., for a copy of a special "press edition" of the official engraving of the Barthoidi statue and pedestal, now in the process of erection in New York harbor. The engraving is one of the finest in execution and clearest and most distinct in outline we huve ever seen, and doubtless gives an accurate conception oi wnat win ue tnc appcarance 01 me statue when complete. Subscriptions are being raised all over the country for its early completion and moneys are to be raised by the sale of this engraving. The Travelers' Insurance Company, for the purposes of distribution, purchased copies for every newspaper in the country at an expense of $1,700, $1,000 of which amount will be its actual contribution to the needed funds. The statue when finished will rank among the wonders of the world. Personal.?Mr. Jas. E.Douglass, oi Albion, in this county, returned home on Monday, the 3d inst., from Charleston, where he has been in attendance upon the session of the South Carolina Medical College. Mr. Douglass will complete his course of study at the next regular session of that institution, Mrs. Rev. Neil E. Pressly and hei three children, of Tampico, Mexico, arrived iu "Winnsboro on the northbound train on Friday. Mrs. Press] j for several years past has been assisting lier husband in the missionarj work of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church at Tampico, and she comes home for rest and to pay a visil to friends and relatives. We bespeak for her a pleasant stay in Winnsboro Miss Rebecca Buchanan left a few days ago for Columbia, where she expects to attend the session of the Female Seminary. We hope for her s pleasant and profitable scholastic year J. T. Hay, Esq., of the Camden bar. was in town on Friday, on professional business. Deaths.?Intelligence has been re in t/vum nf frhp rlpath of Mrs Martha E. Stames, formerly of Fair field county, at Rutherfordton, N. C. which occurred on the night of the lsl inst. Nothing has yet been learned o: the cause of her death. She leaves five orphan children and a number o: friends and relatives to monrn hci departure. Captain S. M. Smart, a Mexicar war veteran and an honored meinbes of the historic old Palmetto Regiment died in Colombia on the 27th ultr His old friends and comrades will regret tc learn that the brave and true-heartec Smart is dead. May he rest in peace Jerry Baylor, an honest, energetic and useful colored mau, died in the Salem neighborhood, in this county, on the 27th ult. He leaves a wife anc no children. Jerry was one of the few colored men who was frnsral anc industrious. He succeeded in acquir iDg considerable property and was nc doubt a good citizen. O. B. Moore, one of the most jsuc cessful of the colored teachers in th( county, died a few days ago. Bethel Presbytery.-A called meet ing of the Bethel Presbytery of the Presbyterian church v^sls held at Scior church, in this place, on Monday evening, the 4th inst. The meeting f was called for the purpose of a formal t severance of the relations of pastor and 1 people heretofore existing1 between the Rev. W. W. Mills and the congrega tions of Jackson's Creek and Salem chnrches in this countv. The usual forms and ceremonies were duly ob' served and the purposes of the meet_ ing having- been accomplished the | Presbytery promptly adjourned. There was but a small attendance of the min' isters of the Presbytery, but a sufficient number from the neighboring churches were in attendance to insure a proper discharge of the duties of the meeting. The Rev. W. "W Mills, as ' stated in these columns some weets ago, will take charge of the Presbyte' rian church in Camden. Mr. Mills expects to remove to his new field of labor some time during the present " month. His departure from Fairfield [ will be a source of general and sincere ' regret.

Address Mrs. Frank Leslie, i Publisher, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. The Corn Crop.?The New York | jEvening Post gives an accurate and interesting statement of the position of the corn crop in the business world. It would be well for our farmers to 1 read and ponder over the figures given | below and accord to the grain question the favorable and impartial consideration its importance demands. It j says: 1 The attentiou of mauy persons is ! now fixed upon the corn crop as one of the most important factors in re! spect to improvement, not only in the price of stocks, but in business generally. The fact t hat the corn crop is ! of almost as great money value as all the other grain crops put together, ; may be understood bv comparing the crop of, say, 18,000,000,000 bushels of corn at twenty-five cents per bushel in , farmers' hands (amounting to $4,500, , 000,000) with, say, 5uu,wu,wu oasneis of wheat, at an average price of sixty ! cents (to the farmers), amounting to t ?300,000,000. Al! the other grain . crops would be worth only about the difference between the value of corn " and wheat. The great bulk of the 1 corn crop for this year is now secure, ! and there is now scarcely anything . that could occur to make the corn crop below an average. In the West many persons are already basing their busi' ness operations on the expectation of a very large crop, and this has probably also induced the buying of some stocks. The "Work at Hock. City.?The -Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier writes again of the growth of Rock City, in this county, aud of the probable future of the TIa quai l v. iic sayo. The railroad now runs up to the five1 acre field of granite, upon which a i large force of hands is employed under t the management of the Pearce Granite, . "Works of Columbia. A branch track ' -will soon be run to the "eleven-acre field," which will supply fine rock for , ages to come. The Pearcc Granite : works now employ thirty-three pavs ing-block cutters, all Scotch experts, . who earn their $4 to $6 daily. A ? dozen of these Scotchmen very receutly came over from the old country k bringing with them their families, and t there is now a permanent Seotch colony at Rock City. More will be sent for as the work increases in volume. They maintain a fine boarding-house and" some are building houses for -themselves near the quarry. The proprietors of the property are putting up, or are about to put up, seventeen houses for the accommodation of the laborers, white and colored. It looks queer to see framed one-story cottages ornamented with chimneys made of beautiful light gray granite blocks. But, then, granite is very much cheaper than brick at Rock City. In all, there are over one hundred hands at work at the Pearcc quarry, and they turn out daily for shipment ten car loads of paving blocks (1,000 to the car load) and two car loads of dimension stone. There are two steam drills at worK ana i a steam hoister. These enable rapid dispatch to be made. The contracts for supplying the streets of Charleston and Wilmington with paving blocks I are large, and require the best labor and the best machinery. Large as this granite interest already is it is still only in its infencv. . [ Tramps.?The number of tramps in this part of the country is alarmingly [ on the increase, and the question what ? should be done with them is becomj ing a more serious one every day. P They literally crowd the track of the . Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad during the day, torment the good t people of the community with their . entreaties for food and shelter, and at nightfall they drop down by the way! side and in slumber, await the coming | of another day, only to repeat the ^ vagrancy of the day before. The penal laws of the State provide speedy [ and effectual remedies iu such cases [ and every good citizen should co-operate with the officers of the law and see j that these tramps are made to halt in their depredations. Section 1604 of | the General Statutes of the State provides that "all persons wandering from place to place, or residing in any *?ifv rrmnfv nr tnwn. who have no V"V J J ? -- ? 7 risible or known means of gaining a fair, honest and reputable livelihood, * * and all sturdy beggars are and shall be deemed vagrants and liable to , . the penalties of this chapter." It is ; further provided, upon an affidavit t made, that any trial justice may issue r his warrant for apprehension and r arrest, may examine into the conduct MMWMEaMMBMWBMMBMW??B??>X?PMi and occupation of the party on trial, and if a satisfactory account is not fnven nf his rrmrlnof and ftf his honest O- -- ? means of support, the trial justice may require a bond with sufficient sureties for his, her or their good behavior for twelve months from the dar of | trial. Upon failure to give the requi site bond the prisoner shall De committed to jail to await trial at the ensning term of the Court of General Sessions, and if there fouud guilty of vagrancy, may be sentenced to one year at hard labor in the State prison. This is the law, plain and simple, and if our people are suffering from evils Af fhie tliAv noil -forthwith resort to the protection of the penal code of the State. If they do not no one can be blamed bnt themselves. CABD or THANKS. Messrs.

I was languid, ate little and that without enjoying it, and had no strength or ambition to perform even my light 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 he acute congestion of the stomach. The last of these was a desper-1 ate struggle and I was given up to die.
