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.

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.

Baker has figured ont the May

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

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

same time last year 933,000;
stock of American afloat for Great
Britain 84,000; same time last year
183,000.
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

unusually eloquent. Mr. McEIreth'i
"Wing Lee, the Chinaman, was akou

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

J. Scott, Esq., of our city, is about to publish
his book, which he has appropriately
called "Random Recollections of a Long
Life." Mr. Scott did us the honor to
submit, at different times, bis 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 only interesting in style and narrative,
filled as it is with local history and
anecdotes, but will he really valuable in
preserving facts of a public nature which
should be preserved, and which will soon
rt+Viorartoo rw> oo awdv and be forsrotten.
When we recall the fact that this is the
work of a man over eighty years of age,
we think it a very remarkable production.

CAPT. R. W. 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.

Long and fair triaL I am well pleased with
it It never gives any trouble, and is as
good as when first bought ^
J. W. Bolick.
Winnsboro, S, 0., April, 1883.
.Ms. Boag : You wish to know what I have
to say in regard to tne uavis .caacmne Dougn*
of you three years ago. I feel I can't say too
much in its favor. I made about $80
within five months, at times running it so
fast that the needle would get perfectly hot
from friction. I feel confident I could not
have done the same -work with as much ease
a&d so well with any other machine. No t
time was lost in adjusting attachments. The
lightest running machine -I have ever
treadled. Brother James and VYiin&m's .
families are as much pleased with their
Davis Machines bought of you. I want no
better machine. As I said before, I don't
think too much can ba said fcr the D.ivLs j
Machine.
