The JBecext Stosms.?We are under obligations to Gen. V. 3.

The freqaency - - and destructive power of these cyclones and tornadoes makes the study ' of them interesting. Death.?Miss Eliza McDowell died at her home in this place at one o'clock on last Sunday morning. The de^ ceased was seventy-six years of age r . and bad been in feeble bealth for some time. Her death was caused- from a ^feneral- givftig* awajr ot the system, attributable to old age> and hastened, perhaps, by exposure and a slight attack, of erysipelas. The funeral services were liield. at the Associate Eeformed church at four o'clock on "?? a a xl- t>-. rp . ottousy anerwtMJ, ute ACV. tiuuu x. Chalmers' officiating, and the remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining the churchyard. As Object of Charity.?Mis3 McDowell, 'whose death is mentioned elsewhere in these columns, left as her only near relative a Mrs. Sloan, a sister, who now lives in this place alone and almost destitute. Mrs. Sloan is a widow lady without chil dren or near kin, old and very feeble, and is altogether a worthy subject of a liberal and Christian charity. Particularly docs she merit the benevolence or assistance of the good people of Winnsboro, when it is remembered that she lost her six and only boys in the Confederate army during the late war. She has given so much for the country?will the country give nothing I in return? Cotton Statement.?The following is the comparative cotton statement for che week ending March 14, 1884: Net receipts at all United States ports dnrino- the week 47.628: to same time last year 109,621; total receipts to this date 4,435,579; to same date last year 5,094,981. Exports for the week 93,883; same week last year 106,241; total exports to this date 3,103,457; to same date last year 3,462,843. Stock at all United States ports 846,572; same time last year 894,545; stock at all interior towns 96,905; same time last year 135,933; stock at Liverpool 1,046,500; same time last year 920,000; stock of .American afloat for Great Britain .214,000; same time last year 270,000. The Southern Cultivator.?The March number of this most excellent periodical is just out. In addition to rercastomary monthly advice, its answers to inquiries and the srticles contributed by that veteran and triumphant farmer, Mr. David Dickson, it is replete with articles of interest and vaiMA AM iff V \JIt CYCl Y 3UI/JCI/I nuivu 10 atlAVU in any manner to the pursuit of agriculture. It is a charming number, and an eucouraging harbinger for the fatare. We are promised in the next issue, and in the succeeding nnmbers for this year, a Manual prepared by the State Agricultural Department of Georgia, on Cattle, Hogs, Sheep and Poultry, which we are told will be found exceedingly interesting to all classes. He who reads "Thoughts for the Month" is amply prepared, as an agriculturalist, to pass safely through that particular period to which it refers. As we turn page after page we are delighted with its contents. Killing Off the Postal Card.? Since the introduction of two-cent letter postage there has been an unexpected reduction in the number of postal cards issued. For five years the average annual increase in the issue has been fourteen per cent. Since Julv 1st last, there has been an increase of eighteen per cent, in the number of adhesive stamps, and twenty-five per cent, in the number of stamped envelopes issued. During those eight months the issue of postal cards only reached 256,552,750 as against 260,226,250 during the corresponding period in the preceding year. In consequence of the decreased demand for postal cards, the Postmaster General has sent a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, informing him that the estimates for the cost of manufac - it. J* 1 -AAM luring- tae carus lur u*c ucm usuu j may be reduced $35,000. The reason assigned at the department for the decreased issue of the cards is that many communications formerly made by that means are now made through letters* Dramatic Club.?We are glad to be informed that the 'Thespian Corps", a dramatic organization heretofore existing in Winnsboro, has been reorganized, and in a few weeks will begin preparations for an entertainment in the Thespian Hall. Mr. G. B. McCants has been elected president of the club, Mr. J. H. Harden vicepresident, and Mr. T. W. Lauderdale secretary and treasurer. ?he" membership at present is about twelve, but will probably be increased to niteen, and will doubtless be made a permanent organization. There are no lady iaembers of the club,- but. different ones will be requested from^ time to time to take such parts as the'character of the play and the exigencies of, the occasion may suggest. The revival of the old "Thespian Corps?' on the part of our young men is commendable and praiseworthy, and we trust that the good people of Winnsboro will lend to the organization and its individual members their appreciation, encouragement and support. Mortality of the Negro.?-The mortality of the negro race in Fairfield countv is tearfully on the increase. : Strong bodied and athletic men, vigorous women and. apparently healthy children take down sick and die with but a few weeks warning. Thoughtful and observing physicians, whose extensive practice entitles them to speak With authority, estimate that seventy-five per cent, of the deaths in this county ior the past few years has been the result of consumption. This seems strange and to some extent unexplainaWe, in the light of the fact that the negro race is stronger, more muscular and hardier than the whites. But aR-explanationof the phenomenon might possibly be found in the fad that the negroes neither properly care for themselves nor their offspring; and being ilt-fed and miserably olacl consumption and other pulmonary diseases would bnt follow upon the principles of natural causation. It would be interesting to hear irom gentlemer who are well informed upon the subject under consideration. Will nol some of our physicians give us th( results of their experience and observation in this particular? Relief fob the Cyclone Sufferers.?Col. A. P. Butler of the agricultural department is in daily receipt oi communications from almost ever} Quarter of the State, asking relief foi the sufferers from the late unprecedented tornado. Among the nambei received are letters from the Hon Giles J. Patterson, of Chester, anc John W.Lyles, Esq., of this couaty Mr. Lvles appeals specially for twe ladies, one of whom lost her hous< and its contents by fire during tiu storm, and the other who was in fee ble health was badly injured. He als< directed the commissioner's atteritioi to the destitute condition of severa colored families in his immediate s ) neighborhood. The destructiveness of the storm in various portions of the county is proof sufficient that there are numbers of whites and blacks in needy and destitute circumstances, and a little substantial assistance from the more fortunate of our fellow-citizens would be gracious charity well bestowed. Earnest efforts should be made throughout the county to raise as much of the needed funds at home as the condition of our people will permit. CONGRESSIONAL DOMINATION. ? A Fairfield subscriber to the Camden Journal in a pointed communication to that paper has placed in nomination Col. F. W. McMaster, of Columbia, as a candidate for Congress from this congressional district, to succeed Mr. Evins, the present incumbent. In its editorial comments the Journal says: Col. McMaster is so well known that to speak of his integrity, his love of truth, his devotion to 'principle, his undying affection for all that savors of right, would be too much for a short notice of this kind. If he was in our congressional district to-day we would place his name first, last and forever. It would be a pleasure to us to see a mail so pure, so nonoraoie, so iugn in all that pertains to the sacred duties of life, elevated to a position so distinguished. Unostentatious, gentle, yet firm, fixed and irrevocable, when duty calls him, we shall rejoice to see such a man in position onca more; and when we afain see the trading1 politician remanded to the shades of obscurity, and such men as McMaster placed in position, we will have hope in the life of the Republic, and cry with truth and sincerity, "JSsto Perpetua." Ukiform foe the Sxate Volunteers.?The commission appointed to select and prescribe a general uniform for the State Volunteer Troops has completed its work and adjourned. The specifications for the uniforms have not been fully committed to writing yet and are very long, but the following covers the ground: Privates will wear gray suits of the United States army regulation cut. ' Officers will wear gray coats and dark bin? trousers. Officers and men alike will wear helmets. The generals only will adhere to the chapeau. The uniforms will have facings according to the different arms of the service?infantry black, cavalry yellow and artillery red. The shoulder knots will be of the regulation United States pattern. In all respects the-cat and finish of the uuiforms will conform as closely as possible to the United States regulation style. The uniform adopted will be.simple and inexpensive, but at the same time soldier-like and sufficiently attractive. The coat for privates' uniform will vary from $8 to $14, according to the quality of the material used. Of course each command can select its own cloth for uniforms. The com-, mission has done its work quickly and well. "While our soldiery will not be as gaily clad as many now are, they will nave tne consolation 01 oeingsaved from great expense by the adoption of a really uniform uniform of simple pattern. The School Law.?"We are indebted to the State Superintendent of Education for a copy of the School Law of the State, nicely and neatly bound in pamphlet form. It is the edition of 1884 and contains the various provi- j sions of the statutes relative to this i subject as amended to date and the different resolutions of public importance adopted by the State Board of Examiners. There have been but few changes of general interest made in the law within the last few years, but. constructions given the diflerent sections by the different administrations do not exactly harmonize. By way of illustration and as a matter of practical concern to the school trustees throughout the county, it would be -veil to call public attention to the fact ihat under the administration of Governor Thompson as Slate superintendant the signature of the chairman or clerk of the board of trustees to the teachers' pay certificates was held and esteemed sufficient to justify and authorize endorsement of the school commissioner and payment by the county treasurer. But Col. Coward, the present superintendent, holds that these certificates to be valid and legal must bear the signatures of at least two members of tbe board. The present construction is of practical importance to the school trustees in the transaction of their official duties, and it would be well for all of them to bear this fact in mind. It is to be hoped that copies of the School Law ' * ^nmAnnp iiave utreu ciicuiaicu gcucioujr auiuug the school officials all over the State. l Death of a Student.?Mr. J. N. ; Waters, a student in the Crosby; ville Institute, died on the 7th inst., of pneumonia, in the 24th year of his age. ; Mr. Waters was held in general t esteem, and his death will be deeply regretted. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously : .adopted at a meeting of the teachers i and students of thelnstitnte: . Whereas, .the shadow of death has I fallen upon, and forever shrouded from our mortal vision, the manly form' of ' our late lamented friend and fellow pupil, Mr. J. N. Waters; and [ Whereas, thejloving companionship t of many months call for some expressionof our esteem for him, our sympathy for his bereaved relatives, and ; our inexpressible sorrow over his un s timely departure for the echoless shores of eternity; therefore now. by the pupils of the Crosby Institnte be it unanimously Resolved: 1. That in the lamented death of our late companion we recog. nize the loss of one whose manly form ? inspired confidence, whose proficiency as a pupil awakened bright hopes for r the future, whpse courteous bearing : and sterling integrity demanded our . admiration, and whose aflability won . our love. 2. That in view of his blameless life and the religious experience of his last I few days, we mourn not as those that have no hope, believing that "even as ' Jesus died and arose again, even ao also them that sleep in Jesus will God 5 bring with Him in the First Eesurreci tion." - _ . :: 8.

That our tenderest sympathies arc herebv respectfully tendered to his bereaved relatives, whom we prayerfully commend for consolation to the only True Comforter, as commanded by St. Paul in I. Thes. IT., 13-18. 5. That a copy esoh of these resolutions be transmitted to the parents of the deceased, to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for preservation with the other records of the Institute, tn Twr "Fi-rotttpttk "Wvws *vt?

Her stomach refused to retain any food and the physician thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a final consultation of two physicians her case was pronounced hopeless. I tried Brewer's Lung Restorer by advice of one of the physicians and she began to improve after the third dose. She continued the medicine and is now in excellent health, and is better than she has been in several years. I believe Brewer's Lung Restorer saved her life. Benj. F. Heabxdon, ' * Tatesville, Ga. M.

In the spring of 18821 was attacked with 3, very had cough, which continned to now worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about I fried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to pow worse. I was notified that I had cons omption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to fay Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to ward's Store and cot a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking. two or three loses, I began to improve, and by the time [ had osed up one bottle I was able to get an my feet again. -I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are [>f the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonierful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. F. fiearndon.

Ihey made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort I sent for a tattle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. [ continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed tor several years.
