What the law is, we do not undertake to say, but surely the railroads ought to have the right to discriminate between passengers who buy tickets and those who do notr?the latter, of course, putting conductors to far more trouble than the former. ?The municipal administration of another year has just begun. There is nothing like beginning'well, even in sp^II matters, and we would suggest that more attention be given in future to the street lamps.

Mar 20* ?The municipal election in ; Blackstock seems to have been a most exciting affair. The correspondent of the Chester Reporter says: "The town election created a 'great excitement,' so much so that up to three o'clock p. m., the managers had polled the larffe number of three votes. Therfe I tis 110 regular ticket nominated, so everybody voted for whom they pleased. The result was, only a part of the ticket elected. W. B. Thompson was elected intendant, J. E. Craig and D. A. Deitz elected wardens. G. L. Kennedy, J. R. Faulkner and R. J. Mackorell each received the same number .of votes. The council will, therefore, "have to order another election for two wardens."

Death.?Mrs. Elizabeth Hayes, who lived about fifteen miles southeast of Winnsboro, died at her residence on the 28th of last March. Mrs. Hayes was at the time of her death in her eighty-seventh year, and throughout : her long life was blessed with rernarkI ably fine health and a mind of more than ordinary vigor. Her long life was usefally spent, but uneventful. It is sajd that she was never as far as ten miles from home daring her entire life. Her friends will regret to learn j of her death.

The President and VicePresidents being absent, Mr. Jas. A. Brice was called to the chair. The Treasurer made his annua] report, after which a motion of H. A.

A Female Detective.?A colored woman, Maria Banks by name, living near "Winnsboro, had her pocket-book stolen from her on last Saturday night. She was in one of the stores in town and while trading placed her moneysack on the counter and in a moment it was gone. A half grown negro boy, standing near by, was suspected, and womanlike she instantly informed him of her suspicions, and demanded its surrender. The voung innocent; denied the charge, but the irrepressi-1 ble lady of color followed him and saw the pocket-book, empty, quietly hid away in one of the back lots in the immediate vicinity. With the j sack in her possession, she demanded j the coutents, and "suiting the action to the word" the indignant woman collared the thief and by an excusable duress obtained her money. She is large, fleshy, muscular and altogether! a creature to be shunned by cowards ! and small boys. A prosecution, conviction and incarceration would be a fitting culmination to the episode of last. Sn.tnr<1?v nicrhf.. Easteb Services.?The exercises in the Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon were arranged with especial reference to Easter Day. The service was opened with the processional hymn?the children of the Sunday School marching up the aisle to the choir, the leader bearing a banner on which was inscribed in letters of gold?"The Lord is Risen". The service was choral, all the chants, psalms and responses being sung by the children. The rector, the Rev. Frank Hallam, delivered a short address to the children, explaining the origin and significance of the Easter festival, and the lessons it inculcates. The service closed with the recessional livmn?tlip. children retiring as thev sang it. The exercises throughout were pleasing and impressive. The singing of the cliildren gave signs of careful training, while their responses to the rector's questions preceding bis address showed that in other things they had not been neglected. From the children's offerings during the past year, a handsome cross of polished brass, beautifally finished, and inscribed "I. H. S"., was placed in the church on Good Friday. The cross stands upon the altar, and adds much to the effect of the chancel and its accessories. The chnrch was, of course, tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens, in accordance with the time-honored Easter enstnm. ? The Episcopal Chubch,?The annual meeting of the congregations of i St. John's church, Winnsboro, and St. Stephen's, Ridgeway, was held in St.1 John's church on Monday morning. -TLc- follow lug.ofScars-scoco- olecfod for. the ensuing ecclesiastical year: . Wardens?Dr. R. B. Hanahan, H. A. Gaillard. Vestrymen?DuBose Egleston, Wm. Dwight, of St. John's; C. E. Thomas, J. R. Thomas and R. A. Meares, of St. Stephen's. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the congregations of St. John's afid St. Stephen's, in ac* ceding to the request of Judge ?m. R. Robertson to be relieved from further serving as a "Warden of this parish, do so with a full sense of the loss the parish sustains by his retirement. Resolved, That we hereby express our appreciation of the valuable service rendered to the parish by Judge Robertson in his long official connection . with the "Vestry?a service extending over a period fraught with difficulties, and devolving duties of great importance tc the welfare of the parish. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the parish records, and that tne secretary of the Vestry transmit a copy to Judge Robertson. After the adjournment of the congregational meeting, the- newly-elected ; Vestry met, and organized by the election "of H. A. Gaillard, Esq., as ; chairman, and Mr. "W. N. Chandler as secretary and treasurer. Messrs. C. . S. D wight, R. A. Meares, J. R. Thomas and Dr. R. B. Hacahan were : chosen delegates to the Diocesan Convention. THE It A "DICAh CORPSE. A Small Meeting: of the Faithful in TVinnsboro. A small assemblage of negroes? about twenty-five in number?met in the Court Hourse on Saturday, styling itself the Republican County Convention of Fairfield. Israel Byrd, the mulatto county chairman, presided, , with the assistance of Isaac Miller, and i the Rev. J. C. Coleman acted as secre. tary. There being no contesting dele. gations, the organization was perfected , without any trouble. The two dozen "present were chiefly the old hacks oi former times, with a few new feces. Nominations for delegates to the > State Convention being called for, i Israel Byrd, Isaac Miller and S. P. Martin were nominated. A delegate ; then moved that the "nominations do now close", which motion was unanimously carried. Preparations for a vote were about completed, when Coleman, the secretary, rose to a point of order. He said that he would like to make a nomination. His point o1 order was that the chairman, before ! putting the vote on the question to 1 close nominations, had not asked, " Are " you ready for the question?" Aftei some parley, the chairman ruled that : further nominations would be received. ' Coleman then nominated Willis Johnson. Johnson rose, and said that he coulc! . not accept a nomination from the con. .vention. It was irregular. No notice had been given of the meeting. A few men had got together and fixed up the meeting. These men were actJ ing under orders from Taft, who had v_ a???b????? I boasted thafc he carries Fairfield conn ty in his pocket. S. P. Martin replied to Johnson, making rather a scattering- speech, in which he alluded to Johns<?n as "the man from Newberry, who had been stuffed by a revenue man?Mr. Brayton". Johnson replied: "Brayton never s passed by me, in the State Convention, and dropped a fifty-dollar bill in my hand, as Mr. Mackey did with one of the Fairfield delegation in the last State Convention. "When the gentleman speaks of Brayton, he clear forthat fifty-dollar bilV The man who got that fifty-dollar bill did not come here to-dav. He didn't want to see me, to tell* him of his political chicanery. The delegates jast nominated had better make the same arrangement with Taft that the former delegation did with Bray ton. This Convention is irregular?it has no rales". Ike Miller: "We've got no rules, or you would have been down long before this". Johnson: ' 'That's just what I have been preaching?you have got no rules or regulations". A member moved to adjourn for fifteen minutes; but the chairman said the motion was out of order, as Johnson had the floor. Johnson continued his talk at great length, making frequent allusion to "that fifty-dollar transaction". He was frequently interrupted, but he held the floor. At last a member rose and said he couldn't stand . this thing any longer?he was far away from home and walking. He wanted to get off. Ike Miller: "We have no rules. The chair can't help you. I can only tell you?say no more and depart in peace". But the member departed not. A good deal of confusion now arose, | amid many suggestions and points of order. At last a member moved that ; the convention adjourn for fifteen minutes. The motion was put and carried?notwithstanding that Johnson "held the floor". Upon reassembling, the convention adopted a rule limiting all speeches to five minutes each. Upon this, Johnsan said he would not' be gagged in [ that way and would have nothing more ' to do with the meeting. The ihrec nominees?Byrd, Miller and Martin?were then unanimously | elected delegates to the State conven| tion. Six delegates were elected to the Congressional convention, but we failed to get their names. The real fight in the meeting arose [ out of the contest between Brayton and Taft for the control of the State I convention?each wishing to have the chairmanship of the State executive committee. THE FIRST PRESBYTERY. Farther Proceedings of the Spring Session '?Interesting Facts and Figures Showing the Progress pf the Church. [REPORTED FOR THE NEWS AND HERALD. ] At 8 o'clock 011 Monday evening the Moderator called the Presbytery to order. Mr. Grier, a student of divinity, proceeded to deliver a trial discourse from Matt. v. 17. This discourse was, after criticisms by the members in private session, sustained as a specimen of progress. Mr. Grier has been a student of theology bat three or four months, and presents quite a youthful appearance in the pulpit. Reports of committees wei.3 called foe. Tho T?air-_w Jlr?Otrr?r /-n mmnnn _ of the'conference committee, presented as a subject for discussion at the next meeting "Christian Giving," and that the Rev. Jno. T.

"W\ Richardson, of the Gr. A. F. Church, North, being present, were invited to seats as visiting Presbyters. Presbytery proceeded to the selecJ* -i? _ ? 1 J? XI-_ lien 01 a place luir LUC ucal mccuiig^ The vote being taken, the Moderator announced that Ebenezer church, Mecklenburg county, If. C., was the place elected. * -. A very animated discussion followed the presentation of a resolution to change the time of meeting from Monday to Wednesday, allowing the ministers .an opportunity of reaching home and filling their own pulpits on the Sabbath. Some good reasons were presented on both sidgs of the question, but when the vote was taken, it was found that a majority of the members were in favor of adhering to the old time of meeting. The time of the | next meeting, however," was changed from Monday after the first Sabbath in September to Monday after the fifth Sabbath in August. A very pleasant episode during the evening session was the presentation of an elegant silver service to the Eev. Jno. E. Pressly, D. D., as a memorial of the Presbytery's appreciation of his long and faithful service as clerk. The memorial was placed in Dr. Pressly's hands by the Eev. D; G. Caldwell on behalf of the committee, . accompanied by some very happy and . graceful remarks. The memorial was received by Dr. Pressly with emotion, . who also responded very pleasantly to . Mr. Caldwell's address. T : The evening session was attended by a large number of the congregation and citizens of the town. The attention was good, and the order perfect. rresDytery men receaea irom dusi: ness until 10.30 a. m. Tuesday, i The Rev. R. G. Miller presented the . report of the committee on finance, t From this report we glean the followl ing items of interest: Amount as: ses|ed the Presbytery for. the synodical ; year just closed?for Domestic Misf sions, $1,470; for Foreign Missions, ; $703. Of these assessments $1,400 had been paid to Home Missions and s something over $600 to Foreign Mis sions. Eighteen churches had paid ; their assessments in full, nine in part . only, and five had paid nothing. An hour was spent in conference upon a subject previously agreed upon, [ "The sanctification of the Sabbath, embracing the duty and mode." Dr. ' .uoss presiaea during me discussion. [ Interesting and profitable remarks were offered by the chairman, and I Revs. I. Gr. McLaughlin, E. E. Boyce, T. i - John Hunter, Dr. Iiathan, M. W. Pressly anfl others. "At the conclusion of the conference resolutions were submitted and adopted, embodying the sentiments of the t> i l : i t_ jrrcsuyiery upon uus imponant suo^'ect, exhorting professing Christians to a more faithful and' scriptural observance of the day, and providing that pastors be required to preach a sermon on the duty and manner of sanctifying the Sabbath. A very touching tribute to the memory of the Rev. William Borren Pressly was offered by Dr. J. E. Pressly and adopted. Preceding the adoption of this minute, Presbytery spent some time in a memorial service in respect to the deceased. Addresses were made by many of the ministers" touching the life and character of Mr. Pressly. The committees on evangelistic work and minutes of Synod presented carefullv prepared papers, which were adopted. Elder Wm. A. Grier presented a report 011 pastors' salaries. Thirty-two congregations had reported. The total amount promised daring the last year was S9,857.25. Of this amount $9,775.27 had been paid. Revs-R. Lathan, D. D., J. T. Chalmers and C. E. McDonald were apappointed an examining committee to attend the closing sessions of Erskine College. An old order of the Presbytery respecting the examination of students of divinity upon appiication to join Presbytery &nd for licensnre and ordination, wa3 reaffirmed, and a permanent committee appointed to conduct these examinations. The Rev. R. A.. Ross, D. D., was selected to conduct the examination in the department of Apologetic, Dogmatic . and Polemic Theology, the Rev. R. Lathan, D. D., in Church History, the Rev. J. T. Chal 1- T* J TT~1 - mers in u-reeK .exegesis ana xieurcw Literature, and the Eev. I. G. McLaughlin in Homiletic and Pastoral Theology. A hearty vote of thanks was {tendered by the Presbytery to the members of Bethel A. E. P. Church, and to the citizens of the town, for their generous and princely hospitality. Presbytery then adjourned. Most of the members left on the north-bound train on Tuesday evening. The deliberations of the Presbytery were entertaining and instructive, and its sessions were generally attended by the church-going people of Winnsboro. TEACHERS OF FAIRFIELD.

The following is ME. JOHN PEABSON'S STATEMENT. In the spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent healtn. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the oest Lung Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. BeDj. F. Hearndon. Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her "side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. T1* Attending physician told me that he tni, ught one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stomach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the Eatient and pronounced the case hopeless. >r. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort I sent for a bottle 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. I 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 for several years. I believe that Lung Restorer saVed her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Mr. Herndon's postoffice is Yatesvilie, Upson county, Ga. He is a thoroughly reliable man in every particular. SHERIFF'S SALE.
