The Old Sixth.?The executive committee of the Sixth Regiment Survivors' Association have chosen Major Edwd. C. McLure, of Chester, to de liver the customary address at the reunion of the survivors in August next. The selection is a good one. Major McLure will discharge the duty with pleasure to the survivors ant*, honor to himself. Escaped.?SherifF McCarley received a letter on Monday from Mr. Lips* ?JI ? x xL. como, ine superintendent ui ixju ouiuc penitentiary, informing -him of the escape of James Gillespie irom the penitentiary in company with an Orangeburg convict. It will be remembered that Gillespie was convicted at the last term of our Conrt of General Sessions for grand larcencv. Energetic efforts will be made to recapture him. Death.?Tho sad news reached Winnsboro of the death of Mrs. John J. Hemphill, of Chester, on Wedues aay morning-, at /.10 0 ciock. imouung bas yet been learned of the cause of her death. Mrs. Hemphill was a cultured and accomplished lady, and by her charming manner and sterling worth made warm friends of all with whom she came in contact. To the bereaved husband the sympathies of hundreds will be extended. m 4 A Union Institute.?Dr. John Boyd, the School Commissioner, is now corresponding with the Commissioner of Chester county and a committee of the Teachers' Association of that county looking to a union of Chester and Fairfield in their respective County Normal Institutes daring the approaching summer months. Dr. Boyd will probably make an effort to secure the Institute for the white teachers for Winnsboro this year, and will ask that Chester take charge of the colored. Next year it is proposed to have the meeting changed. T ^ Professor Baker for May.?Professor Baker has figured ont the May weather and gives it as-follows for the benefit of onr readers: 2nd, fair and warm; 3d, partly cloudy, cool wind, etc.; 4th, cloudy, cool wind; 5th, heavy rain, thunder and wind; 6th, 7th, rain and thunder; Sth, 9th, nearly tair, cooi; iutn, hid, iair ana mna; 12th, 13th, partly cloud}'; 14th, thnnder and a little rain; 15th-20th, rainy weather, thunder and some wind; 21st-2Sd, nearly fair and mild; 24th, fair; 25th, thunder, warm; 26th, good rain; 27th, 28th, thunder, hot; 29th, rain and thunder; 30th, rain, warn: 31st, thunder. A Canine Burglar.?Another attempted raid was made upon the Swelling and valuables of Mr. James Q. Davis on Garden street one night last week. This time, however, the trespasser was neither a white nor a colored man, but a roguish dog. Late in the night Mr. Davis was awakened by a noise at one of the windows of his iining-room, and on investigation discovered a large dog, deliberately tearing away pieces of the blind and making determined efforts to effect an enlroTina T.it-o nrftfuicinnale hf> U& UUVV* JyliiXV VWUV4 J^&VAWWW<U.?.W ?v caade good his escape, and the offender lias not as yet been apprehended. Fire.?The fire-bell rang about two 5'clock on Tnesday afternoon, the 29th inst., and a little investigation disclosed the fact that fire bad broken out in the residence of Mr. S. K. McDonald on Zion street. The fire companies were on the ground in an incredz...... , ,, * My snort time, ana tne energetic enorcs Df the men resulted in putting out the fire and saving the house. The fire broke out first in the ceiling of one of the rooms, and it is supposed to have been fired from matches carried into the walls by rats. No other theory at all plausible has been advanced to account for its origin. Mr. McDonald estimates the damage at about thirty ave uouars. Cotton Statement.?The following is the comparative cotton statement for che week ending May 2, 1884: N"et receipts at all United States ports during the week 20,013; to same time last year 48,172; total receipts to tins ^ A70 l/v nnmA A irnoi* uuu; 7)1 v/v^vc ~ j kaj oaaxv uaits vu*i 5,625,212.

Improved Machdteky.?The increasing use of improved machinery in Fairfield county is certainly a marked and notable ftct and is one of the very substantial evidences of progre. general agriculture. In the use of reapers uuu uiuucia IUUIIC, tnu has been wonderful. Three or four MM????i?? different agencies have been established in "Wiunsboro, and all of them have been selling well daring the present Tt ^ li "? f A season, it wouiu pruuuuiv uc saic w say that twice as many reapers and binders -have been sold in Fairfield during this year to date as were disposed of during the whole of last year. The more that is seen of the practical benefits to be derived from the use of these labor-saving machines the greater will be their popularity and consequent sales. Millo Maize.?A writer in the Monthly Report of the Department of Agriculture says of Millo Maize and its-probable maximu's yield: "You will remember the Rev. Mr. Pratt, of Winusboro, introduced to the public, through your paper, I think the Millo Maize or Cord. I must confess I thought the act rather extravagant. Like most "new things," praised beyond its merits, I procured a few seed, planted according to directions, and made a total failure; * *? -3 i. x nave not maae a gram, ana auout me time I had concludcd?"humbugged again"?saw a small lot planted by Mr. J. M. Crawford, who never fails. Mr. Pratt did not say a word too much in its praise. It beats any grain I have ever seen, and I should not be surprised if from 250 to 300 busels can be made per acre. In yield it is ahead of Guinea corn, which is worth cultivating. The Mecklenburg Celebration.? The annual celebration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence will be held in Charlotte, N. C., on the 20th inst. The gathering on that day promises to be unusually large, and the programme warrants the statement that the entire day will be enjoyable and interesting. The Hon. John G. Carlisle, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and ex-Senator Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, have consented to deliver addresses on that day. The appropriate committee has kindly invited the Gordon Light Infantry and the Steam Fire Engine Company of this place to attend the celebration and nnrf in tlio nfirftfln. Thf? Gordons have about decided to accept the invitation, and the energetic drilling of the past two weeks will doubtless be kept up till the twentieth. TYe hope the company will enter the contest for the prize. The prize will be awarded to the best drilled company. The fire company will, under the circumstances, be forced to decline the invitation. The English Sparrow.?The Lancaster Ledger says: "Permission has been granted to kill out the Englisfi sparrows in this placo." Similar action on the part of the authorities of "Winnsboro would be sensible and timely. The English spaiTOws are increasing in numbers here at an incredible rate, and in a few years they will succeed in driving almost every other bird from the yards and fields. They are besides destructive in their habits and altogether useless. Experience elsewhere has demonstrated the truth of our statement and the sooner they are killed out the better. "We could not counsel receiving their, dead bodies in payment of taxes as has been done in Australia, but it would not be out of place to suggest permission and encouragement on the part of the Council to anv and everv one to de clare war against the noisy little enemy. Cruelty to Animals.?The propriety of organizing a society in "Winnsboro for the prevention of cruelty to animals has been suggested by several gentlemen in town recently, and we hope the timely talk will ripen into action. If the Act of the General Assembly upon the subject in question is lonnaea in wisaom, it is me auty 01 all good citizens to look to its enforcement and to prevent all unnecessary cruelty to animals. The most fragrant violations of this provision of "our statutes will not be prosecuted, unless some persons be specially authorized to take the matter in charge, and this end can only be accomplished by the organization of a society for this purpose. Perhaps it would be interesting in tbis connection to quote the Section of the General Statutes upon this point. Section 1703 reads as follows: ""Whoever overload?, overdrives, overworks, tortures, torments, needlessly mutilates, cruelly kills, illtreats. or whoever deorives of neces sarv sustenance or shelter, or whoever inflicts unnecessary pain or suffering upon any animal, or whoever causes the same to be done, whether such person be the owner thereof or have the charge or custody of the same, shall, for every such offence, be guilty of a misdemeanor and be punished by imprisonment in jail nofc exceeding thirty days, or by a fine not exceeding i one hundred dollars. Entertainments at the Hall.? The Standard Dramatic Company entertained the theatre-going public ol Winnsboro upon both Monday and Tuesday nights of this Trcek. "My Partner," a tragedy in four acts, was rendered on Monday evening and the following was the caste of characters, to wit: Mary Brandon, Miss Alice Irving; Posey Pcntland, Miss Ne.Tlie Claire; Grace Brandon, Miss Nina Richie; Joe Saunders, Mr. A. M. Hani; ilton; Ned Singleton, Mr. J. H. Brown; Brandon, Mr. TV". W. McLaughlin: Josiah Scraggs, Mr. G. E. Caulfield; if.: tt?? m? T>~aj. nr.. /^i, iuaj. xicuiy i>au, jxx. i/nauca Tremaine; Wing Lee, Mr. S. B. McElreth; Sheriff, Mr. "W. E. Short; Miners, by Company. The play was a sad, touching and tragical one, and it afforded splendid opportunities for a display of emotional acting. No biffher compliment could be paid the company than the simple statement of the truth, that all the important roles were admirably impersonated, and the general verdict of the audience was, that the performance on Monday evening was the most successful of a very success fill season. Miss IrriDg was at hei best as Mary Brandon, and her execution of her part was a pronounced success. Mr. Hamilton's Joe Saunders was a splendid impersonation o: a grand and noble character, azid ir CTAA?An ?? *!*/ ? r\1 nrr V*r? OCVUdi ill UiU JL/iaT UV VII unusually eloquent. Mr. McEIreth'i "Wing Lee, the Chinaman, was akou Tic thf> -narfc eonld have been f < ovvv* r ? rendered, but the character itself is i poor, and it offered but scanty opportunities for an exhibition of the dramatic talent which he unquestionably ; possesses. Miss Claire was just cross : and crabbed enough for her character, : while Mr. Caulfield, as the scoundrel, ; *vt"r Tr^mniTiA .15 fho rMilitician. i rendered their parts without much difficulty. Josh Whitcomb, a comedy, was given on Tuesday night to a small audience, but it was none the less enjoyed and appreciated. Mr. McElreth was Josh Whitcomb, and he was fortunate ia the selection of his part. - At times brimful of wit, at others serious, earnest and sad, Mr. McElreth displayed a versatility of genius rather ! - mi. ?1_. ? rcmarjiaoie. xne uumeuv was, u^un the whole, moderately good and fairly rendered. The play was considerably cut and the acting hardly as good as on Saturday and Monday, attributable < doubtless to the smalness of the audience. We hope the Standard Dramatic Company will visit Wiiinsboro during the next season. A MEMORABLE DAY. The Anniversary Holiday of the Gordon Light Infentry-The Company Display, the Shooting-Match, the Feasting ana tmze Delivery. Friday, the 2nd inst., wa3 the day fixed and set apart for the animal feasting of our military, and the plans and schemes of the day were admirably executed, and nothing happened to mar the joy and delight of the occasion. At nine o'clock the soldier-citizens began to straggle and loaf upon the streets, and promptly at 9.30 the public rendezvous of the company throng ed with blue coats and glittered with army guns and bristling bayonets. "With military promptness and precision the boys -filed into ranks and the march to the grove commenced. JReaching the woods in due time the company disbanded and the epaalettea sports waited and watched the gradual gathering of the guests of the day. The distance to the grove and its inaccessibility rendered impossible an early assembling and it was fnlly eleven o'clock before all the plea3nreseckeio and the sportsmen were upon tho ornrinds. At eleven o'clock, sharp, the rifle contests of the ladies and the Gordons, respective!}-, began with due form and ceremony. As heretofore stated in these colnmns, the ladies and gentle-men shot separately, and- they vied with each other in the inte:reet and ex citement tneir respecrive cumeeu> engendered. The shooting of both ladies and gentlemen was, npon the whole, good, and it' would be prudent to denominate this part of the programme the feature of the day. Of course! there were many wild shots among so many, recruits as well as veterans, and none are to be laughed at for an accidental miss of the bull's eye or the target. The following is the score made by the members of the Gordon Light Infantry : Captain W. G. Jordan. 5 Lieut. T. K. Elliott 2 Lieut. J. H. Cummings 3 Lieut. T. M. Jordau 2" Sergt. J. H.

BONNER, A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF MACON. In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., came over to see me with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hopeless. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could be done. She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter?could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the disease. This was about the time you began to advertise Brewer's Lung Ifestorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity until the prescribed dose was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Eestorer (which she is never without) relieve her immediately. I consider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which sne is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medicine would be required, that he does noi speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long since a Northern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic. Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado, says: Seeing certificates of the wonderful cures made by Brewer's Lung Restorer, I was induced to try it on my little son, who was troubled with lung or throat affection, pronounced by one physician, consumption. It acted "waaderfuLlv on him, and by the time he had taken one bottle of it the cough disappeared. I am now on a visit to my parents in Georgia, but will return in a few days to my home and will certainly take some of tne Lung Restorer with me. T.AVATf TfAVTrrW TjAXfAR.
