II will thus become a mass of green foliage, and should be refreshed with water daily so as to be kept moist. ?An exchange says it is remarkable with what facility New York editors cokihh Whv nnf upon the facility in which rich girls secure New York editors? There is nothing surprising in the fact that ar editor should capture a rich wife, but it is rather unusual that a wealthy woman should have the good sense tc marry an editor. It has always occurred to us that if we were a rich girl we would demand an editor 01 death,'but the large majority of affluent females nowadays seem to have a decided preference as between the two for the latter. Fire.?The stable and barn of Mr j John Isenhower, living about eighl miles above Winnsboro, were destroyed by fire on last Friday night. The animals in the stable were rescued with some difficulty. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. The loss is about one hundred dollars, "witt r.o insurance. Baccalaureate.?The .Rev. John T.

Never a benefit certifit cate ha> failed of prompt payment, and : many are the widows and orphans , who have blessed the name of Knights I of Honor. Proceedings of Council.?The new ? Town Council had their first business r on Tuesday morning. Capt. I. N. ; Withers was re-elected Clerk, and . Col. Jas. II. Rion Attorney. The salary of the chief policeman was fixed at thirty dollars a month. Mr. , W. B. Gilbert was elected chief, and ; the election of assistant, was postponed till the nest regular meeting of Conn; ?cil. It was determined that for the present none of the street lamps except t those on Congress street, from the resi; dence of A. S. Douglass, Esq., to that of Mr. B. R. Turnipseed, be lighted , by the town. In other localities pri. vate parties arc at liberty to use the lamps near their residences, and a like privilege is allowed in reference to the . lamps in front of the respective , churches. To the Pastors.--Will the pastors of the different churches in town be i more careful about the church notices published in our columns on Satur [ days? Mistakes of a provoking char: actcr have occurred too frequently of I late, and we are made to say that there ; will be or will not be preaching in this > or that church when it is incorrect, i We publish no notices of this kind except upon the authority of the pastor himself or some officer of the 1 church, and in view of this fact we 1 sincerely trust that more care will be ! takeu iu future to see that they arc reliable and not misleading. These : notices arc published for the church* ! going people of Winnsboro, and in ! order that they may accomplish the | purposes of their insertion we ask greater care and caution. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. ?The contents of the May nunibpr are, ' as usual, extremely varied; and in a ' literary ana artistic point vi view, m ! its comprehensiveness and cheapness, 1 this magazine is far ahead of its contemporaries. Among the notable arti5 cles are: "Russia's Latest Annexation?Merv"; "The Origin of New " York Churches"; "The Adventures of ^ Bold Alonzo de Ojeda"; "Morocco and the Moors," etc. Lady Blanche Murphy, Etta W. Pierce, Garry Moss, - Fanny Driscoll, Annie Thomas and ( others, contribute delightful serials, short stories, adventures, etc.; and I the poems are by Charles Mackay, . Wade Robinson, R. H.

Twenty-five I cents a copy, or $2.50 a year, postpaid. r Address, Mrs. Frank Leslie, Publisher, t 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. No Lights??It is currently report. ed in town that the Council will at its t next meeting take under advisement , the propriety of dispensing with the j street lamps altogether. We hope the - rumor is a false one, or at least that i* if the matter is bronght ta the atten1 tion of the authorities it will be dist posed of as it deserves to be?voted - down as a needless step backwards. If . a change is to be made at all, certainly 1 it would be better for Winnsboro and f her people to inorease the number of 1 lamps rather than remove them altol* gether. It is true the present scarcity 1 of lights leaves the streets poorly lighted, and in places dark, but they are better than no lights at all. The lights are not only beneficial to that ~ class of people contemptuously dubbed "night walkers", but to the business ,a men of Winnsboro, and we believe that we voice the convictions of a ' mainrifv of the nronerfcv-holders in j j XT " - i W ' town when we say that it would be ' better even to increase the town taxes " in preference to a resort to the expe^ dient proposed. "We hope the Town !* Council will view the matter in the same light. Black Diamonds.?The performance rr in the Thespian Hall on last Saturday r night by the Standard Dramatic Com: pany was excellent and enjoyable. s The audience was rather small, but e was appreciative and enthusiastic 5 throughout. The "Black Diamonds," r a melo-drama in three acts, was the A ATTA-ninnr'e r?Ai?_ L1 formance, and the following is the e caste of characters, to wit: "Diana [1 Duychink, Miss Alice Irving; Pauline, c Miss Nellie Claire; Mollic Maguire, [1 Miss Nina Bitchier; Mark O'Dare, ;j- A. M. Hamilton; Banty Bob, S. B. McElreth; Bernard McTurk, Charles ) . Tremaine; Terrencc Maguire, W. "W\ t McLausrhlin: Nathan Lvfford, Geo. E. r Canlfieltl; Mr. Davchink, J. II. Brown. Mr. McEiictlr? i^uiiy Dub was simply inimitable, and his conception and _ ,.r> v * "nK.i. *rv:? uacuuuuu ui tus pari, 111 uiu> mouds on Saturday night proved him 11 a comedian of no mean ability. His e every appearance upon the stage d was received with an enthusiasm !S which bespoke appreciation of his P dramatic accomplishments. Mr. Ilame ilton, in the role of Mark O'Dare, and Miss Irving, as Diana Dnychiuk, did much credit to themselves and their is company, and their respective pern formanccs have been the subject ol much favorable comment. Mr. Tre* maine suited the character he irnpern sonated, and Miss Claire's Pauline was ; amusing and sometimes instructive | both to boys and girls. The music as | well as the performance was good and | the evening was much enjoyed by the j audience. "My Partner" was rendered last I night to a audience considerably larger j than Saturday night. An account of the entertainment on Monday night will appear in Thursday's issue. Tiie Supreme Court ox Road Duty. ?The case of the State vs. Ilathcock of nl hoc Tioon lipmvl find decided bv i the Supreme Court of the State. It will be remembered that this was a case originally tried by one of the trial justices in this place, and was heard on appeal at the September term (1883) of the Court of General Sessions for this county, and from the decision of the Circuit Court an appeal was taken directly to the Supreme Court. The defendants were brought before the trial justice upon the charge of refusing to work on the public highways after due notice. They were at the time employed upon the road-bed of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta j Railroad Company, and the position was taken by counsel for the defendants that railroads are public highways under the law, and that work upon any one of them would be a sufficient excuse for a refusal to work upon others in the same highway district. The defendants, notwithstanding their plea, were found guilty by the justice before whom they were tried, the Circuit Court sustained the finding and the Supreme Court says upon the issues raised: There is no law, statutory or other| wise, declaring what facts will constitute a "justifiable excuse" in cases like these, and consequently there is no rule by which to test the facts relied on by the appellants and to determine whether or not, as matters of law, they make out a "justiliable excuse." In the absence of such rule the Supreme Court cannot say that the Court below A-T lottr in rlitrofYo I UU <13 lliailtjl Ui lc4 >T 1U V4J..JA -^qC41 \Jk~ in of it. The Legislature in failing to define either generally or specifically what facts in law would amount to a "justifiable excuse" seems to have left this matter to the judgment and discretion oi the tribunal before which the parties might be brought. Judgment below affirmed. Opinion by Simpson, C. J. Col. Riou represented the defendants and Mr. Solicitor Gaston appeared for the State. Transfers of Real Estate.

Only bii'ds shot on the wing are mentioned: Number of shots, 703; number of birds killed, 4SS. Shooting done in the worst hunting portion of the country. _ There is scarcely an open field of A A-- Tt .T i- -L.~~.ZJ. rwenty-nvu acres uut jmsiuspiuc uuiuis.ci in close proximity. I rarely would get more than two shots beforo the birds would reach the thicket. I make it a rule to shoot whenever a bird rises, if in forty yards, and at all visible, no matter how dense the thicket. I shoot at each charge drachms of powder and U* ounces ol shot. My gnn is an old English muzzle-loader. I believe it is considered by sportsmen good shooting to. kill or an average three out of five partridges. I doubt very much if there is a man in our county who can do this in the neighborhood of Rocky Mount. 1 mean on an average from October tc March. The best day's shooting was twenty-seven birds killed at thirty-one shots; the worst day's hunt was thirtythree shots and ten birds bagged. If you care to publish the result o] my season's sport you arc at liberty tc do so. Perhaps it would be of some interest to my brother sportsmen. J. Austin Scott. I>on't Spill the Milk.

Ap 2G s I SWEPT INTO THE STREAM. 1 One Thousand Acres of L>and and ' Rijjht Smart of Bears." On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by a sweep of his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he said to a passenger from the North: "When I was twelve years old I killed my first bear on a new plantation my father was then cutting nut nf o fAroct tliot1 rrrew rViro^flv nvpr the waters of this bend. That was a mighty good plantation, and there was right smart of bears there, too. But that one thousand acres of land went into the Mississippi years ago." it is puuing no strain upon me ngure 10 say that great forests of youthful hope, womanly beauty and manly strength are swept in the same way every year into the 1 great, turbid torrent of disease and death. Yet it should not be so. That it is so is a disgrace as well as a loss. People are largely too careless or too stupid to defend their own interests?the most precious of which is health. That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple, but to recklessness or ignorance the simplest things might as well be complex-as a proposition in Conic Sections As the huge western rivers, which so often flood the cities along their shores, arise in a few mountain springs, so all our ailments can be traced to impure blood and a small group of disordered organs.

[From the Colur.ibia Register.J Columbia, S. C., April 10,1884. We have seen, with pleasure, that Edwin J. Scott, Esq., of our city, is about to publish hi* book, which he lias appropriately ' .called "Random Recollections of a Long Life." Mr. Scott did us the honor to submit, at different times, his manuscript to our perusal, and while some of us did not read all the manuscript, it affords us great pleasure to say that we have read enough of the "Recollections" to say that it is not onlv interesting in stvle and narra tive, filled as it is with local history and anecdotes, but will be really valuable in preserving facts of a public nature which should be preserved, and which will soon . otherwise pass, away and be forgotten. When we recall the fact that this is the work of a man over eighty, years of age, we think it a verv remarkable production. Augii S. Thompson, W. d. Suit son, LeRoy F. Youmans, Francis W.
