Sn this number there are eight lawyers, nineteen farmers and ten engaged in other occupations.'/ An Ice Su?piA\?Mr. F. w. Habenicht received from ^Wilmington,]!!?. U., on "Wednesday morning a carload of ice, amounting in all to aboufc 20,000 ponnds. Mr. Habenicht has a conveniently arranged and commodious ice house adjoining his billiard saloon, and Winnsborp will be well supplied with this essential during the summer months.. The Chester Faie.?The Reported; says of the preparations for the Chester Fair: "A meeting of the directors of the Fair Association was held here on Tuesday of last week. It was de-' cided to materially increase the premie urns in the live stock department. An increased sum of money will be paid in premiums.. It was determined to ,J1 V _*> 4Va atiemprso raise 5>jlvv ia vauu vw. iuo i Association counties to prepare * "a proper exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition. j. Court.?On the first Monday in June begins the next regular term of the Court of General Sessions for Fairfield county, and "by the roster, Judge Pressly is to preside. Judge Pressly has been and is now in very bad health, and it is very likely that there will for this reason be no session here in J une. However, nothing definite or positive can be given cut at this early day. When an authoritative statement from the presiding judge is received, it will . be given to the public. Sickness.?The physicians in Winnsboro and throughout the county report a great deal of sickncss both among the white and colored popula(T lion- For ihe existence of so manyforms of disease it is difficult to find expectation. The general prevalence of diseases, perhaps, might be attributa blc to the sultry hotness of the spring days and to local causes. Fairfield county is ordinarily one of the healthiest regions in the State, and before the war Winnsboro was a health resort for hundreds of invalids from the low* country. I "Plantation Lays".?It is our [ pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of1 ' a nicely bound volume of poems entitled, "Plantation Lays", and written by a talented young member of the Florence bar, Mr.- Belton O'Neal Townsend. An examination of Mr. Townsend's poetical composition fonnd in this work warrants us in saying that it does credit to the head and heart of the author. The poems arc generally simple and at times touching and beautiful. TYc hope the "Plantation Lays'! will find a ready sale in South Carolina. Protection to Women.?TVife-beat lug is increasing 111 popularity among the negroes in Fairfield county and every few days we see a colored woman with Lead and face bandaged and hunting a trial justice. The punishment for a crime so cowardly and heinous is not severe enough in South Carolina or else the law is not vigorously enforced. The whipping-post would be an appropriate penalty for this species of cruelty to animals, the constitution should be amended, and the General Assembly would then do wise to take some such step looking to a change of the law. The Lawyer axl> the Merchant.? The Columbia 1teyister of the 15th iust. tells of how an attorney in that city "got left" rec&ntlv. It says.: A merchant in this city marked on his bulletin board, among other articles for sale,; "Pease." A lawyer saw the word anc! suggested to the merchant that be should erase the final letter (e), as if was incorrect orthography. The merchant took the suggestion pleasantly, but would not consent to the erasure, as he claimed the word as written to be correct. The lawyer was as confident that it' was wrong, and pro posea mat ne ana me incrcnanc eonsultan unabridged authority, and he who-"tots wrong should "set 'em up" for the four persons present/ The merchant agreed, and the lawyer paid fifc^cTrtrtfrronc icsson in spelling. >- -r : Deaths.-r-On ^Friday. evening last, Il&a&argstoifi of Mr. and Mrs. "W. Gr. Eoche, of this place, died of brain fever, and was interred in the.cemetery of the.Methodist Church ou Saturday 'afternoon. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved parents. The youugest daughter of . Mr. and Mrs.T.,T; Lumpkin . died early- on Sunday morning after a short but painfnl illness. "The remains were interred in the Methodist cemetery on Sunday afternoon.. The many friends of the afflicted father' and mother will be sorry to learn of this early death. Cotton Statement.?The following is the comparative cotton statement for che week ending May 16, 1884: JSiet receipts at all United States ports daring- the week S,6S8: to same time last year 43,722; total receipts to this date 473,337; to same date last year 5,720,800. Exports for the week 57,208; same week last year 12,072; total exports to this date 49,483; to same date last year 3,501,190. btock at all United states ports ^y,ooo; same time last year 525,631; stock at all interior towns 41,454; same time last year 41,454; stock at Liverpool 997,000; same time last year 960,000; stock -afloat for Great Britain 30,000; same time last year 135,000. Reduced Rates.?The public have already been informed of the reduction in the rates charged for telegrams. The latest reduction ranges from thirty to forty per cent. The Western Union had already reduced its rates, to be followed, of course, by a similar reduction of the rates of its new and strong rival the Southern Telegraph Company. The latest fall in rates is also due to this new competition. It is that bnt for the incursions made by the Southern on the business of the "Western Union, the latter corporation would never have dreamed of any redaction, It is plainly to the public interest to sustain the competing Company. The "Western Union must stand the competition or go under. Meeting of the teacsers.-Another small meeting of the teachers was held in the Court House 011 last Saturday. Ataomj otheb things, ^letter was read from the Teachers'- Association of Chester county, suggesting the election of j&ftfestes to a jproposed- Teachers' eoaveoiioa ?S\S^tk:Caroiiik.>.

"What is the Association's duty in this matter, h There bein? no farther business, the JI "Association adjourned to meet on Saturday, the 14th day of June. The 'Movement Inaugurated.? Pursuant to a notice published in these columns, the County Board of Examiners met in the Court House cn last Saturday morning. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the Dronrietv of an atmroDriation from the school fund for the purpose of having a County Normal Institute during the incoming summer. At the meeting a number of teachers were present and upon invitation conferred with the Board upou the subject under consideration. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that energetic efforts should be made at once in this direction. After general consultation the following resolution was unanimously _ .1 . i . 1 aaopiea: Resolved, That a committee of five teachers, consisting of Messrs. P. TVarcUaw, "W. J. Keller and B. It. Turnipseed, and Misses Dannie Phinney and Liiia Beatv, be appointed and directed to confer with the teachers all over the county upon the subject of the proposed Normal Institute, and obtain ihe desired information and report to me County Board of Examiners on Saturday, "the 7th day of June next, the result of its work. A Memorial Associatiox.?It is gratifying to us to be able to announce the organization of a Memorial Asso ciauon in winnsDoro. its original purpose was to keep alive the memories of the Confederate dead and to -i . :/ ? - - ' \ ' ' t yearly strew flowers upon their graves; but we feel authorized in saying that the Memorial Association will also undertake the crection of a monument to the dead of the county, as suggested in Thursday's issue of The News and Herald.1 Mrs. Wra. It. Robertson has been elected president of the Association, Mrs. S. "Wolfe first -vice-president. Mrs. Francis G-erior second vir.n president, Mrs. "Preston Brooks third vice-president, and Mrs. D. R. Fleniriken Secretary and treasurer. The simple determination on the part of these ladies to erect a shaft here to onr dead soldiers is in itself a guaranty that it .will be done, and at no distant day. All public-spirited gentlemen will.cooperate with the Memorial Association in the furtherance of this laudable purpose. McLane and His Politics.?The Spartanburg Herald says that J. Uendrix McLane was in that city recently. He kept very quiet while there, for he doubtless remembers vividly his visit there in 18S2. The Herald says the following characteristic coloqny is said to have occurred between the wouldbe military Governor and ex-Solicitor "W. MaGill Fleming: -. McLane?1"Fleming, you ought to ioin nr?r ranks.?von are a Renubli can." : r Fleming?"I am not a Republican? I am a Radical. You will please .state to me your object in this attempted organization." .V McLane?"My object is the restoration of honest "government. I know that the Democracy is in power through fraud, form 1876 I helpM:to steal the votes tirfit elebted Hampton'."' Fleming?"Tf von helped to steal votes to elect Hampton, what *in: the h?1 wouldn't you do to elect yourself, and if vou get in power, God only knows whenTour stealing would end." ! c | >? a* Petit Jgkors.?The following is the list of petit jurors empannelled ibrithe June term of the Court of "General Sessions, to wit: J. O. Ni'choTsiE. K. McQuatferS, Helton E. Lyles, John G. Taylor.,. William J. Johnson, David F? Richardson. Daniel. Y. Morgan, G. B. Counts, Hnnley McConnell (colored).

Steyei>?on, -Munroe Henderson (colored), :George G. Wildes, B. G. Tehnant, Joseph W. Caldwell, J. Clarence Brice, jJ&enj. Jennings (colored), Edward F.-.Neil, J. M. Galloway. Water Needed.?Just and wellfounded complaints have been recently made abont the difficulties of procuring water for the teachers' and pupils of Mount Zion College.. There is neither well nor cistern anywhere upon the college premises and water ; can only be procured by going two oi three hundred yards to one of the pubj lie wells on Congress street. This , state of affairs is not creditable to the patrons of Mount Zion, and efforts oi I some kind should be made to have : good water within reach of the coli lege. If the Mount Zion Society is j unable and indisposed to dig a -well 01 I cistern for the convenience of that ; institution, its trustees should make ! application to the public school trustees of this school district for an ap' propriation from the school fund foi : this purpose. It would certainly be a i legitimate expenditure, and we have J no doubt-but that the trustees woulc ! give the matter their thoughtful atten; tion. If- this should prove futile, the I necessary money might be raised bj I subscription in 'own or by an entertainment given-for this purpose. We hope that th'e gentlemen.interested ir the comfort of their children and ir the prosperity of the institution wil resort, to some of the expedients suggested or to ^'apy others that mighl prove more' effectual and. secure foi ,3Iount -Zioii College the luxury. o: r good drinking water. . .. The p-icxic at Rock City.?Th( special train chartered for the Sandaj School "picknickers" rolled up bach itiard's'to the passenger depot prompt ly at nine o'clock on Friday morning To the engine of the Hock City Rail way were attached three comfortabl( coaches, but they were insufficient t< accommodate the crowd. In an in credibly short, time the seats and aisles of every coach were crowded, jammec and packed with merry children coquettish girls, "spooney" boys anc quiet mothers. After a little resting and blowing, the whistle signalled anc the fiery horse trotted down the rail road leisurely and with ease. Th< ride to the Quarry City was pleasan' but uneventful, and by ten o'clock th< whole crowd was on foot again, anc wandering away amid rocks, hillside! and groves. To all, the day wai pleasantly, and to many delightfully spent, and the picnic dinner contribut ed much to the comfort and happiness of all who were well enough to eat Some few of the boys and girls fed 01 the "airy nothingness of love" anc rather contemned "substaritials." Th< Citizens Cornet Band furnished excel lent music during the day, and it wai the general verdict tfiat the band coulc not have been dispensed with. Th< novel rock scenes in and arouiv. th< J quarry proved interesting and instruc ! tive to the visitors, and when the hou: o_* departure arrived late in the after noon they were loath to turn thei: faces homeward. But the issue wa; walk or ride, and with the eagernes. of the early morn, the train was board ; ed again, and face foremost this time I it sped away towards the Boro. Withii I less time than an hour the Sundaj | School crowd was home again, and lh< j picnic at Rock City was over. |... A Monument to OtnDead.?Th( I successful observance of Memoria Day in Winnsboro on Friday, the 9tl inst., has suggested to us and otheiv | the propriety of taking immediate I ef^rvc? rATron/ls fAi<AAf*An o mnrin, Uil/UkLVU VX 4* ^uvuu meat in oue of the public sqnares o: our town to the memory of the Cob federate dead of tlie county. If th< suggestion meet the approval ojf the ladies we will vouch for "the organizaof an association" in "Winnsboro for this pm-pose -at art-early day.- A-monumental shaft '-constructed of Fairfield granite, would not only adorn the town, but. \vould fitly commemorate the heroism, of our soldier dead. A" shaft of the material..suggested could be erected for several hundred dollars, and the granite itself is susceptible of a beautiful polish. Once the movement is organized it will be but little difficulty , to raise the desired, money by subscriptions "and by entertainments. It is gratifying to us to be able to state in this connection that a I rr/aviflnrriArt jJci.1 by Ui ^UUii^ luui^o auvi gvubivmuu in town has kindly consented to give an entertainment at .an early day.for the purpose of raising- funds fOT the erection, of the proposed mouunlenf.

C., April 10,1884. We nave seen, with pleasure, that Edwin ;J. Scott, Esq., of our city, is about to publish his book, which he has appropriately called "Random Recollections of a Long Life." Mb. 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 only interesting in style and narrative, filled as it is with local history and anecdotes, but will be really valnaole 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 iact that this is the work of a, man over eighty years uf age, we think it a very remarkable production. Hugh S. Thompson, , W. D. Simpson, LeRoy F. Youmans, Fbancis W.

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 1 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, m the last stages of the : disease. This was about the time you began to advertise Brewer's Lung Kestorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, twoor'tliree 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 prest-uibed dose was reached. She Iucgolt l/u iju&jsw v ax ia. x x\s ?? uwvw -?% continued to do so dally, until she was finally Testored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swalloircs of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieve her immediately. I consider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she 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 'j meaicine 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, !%-? annoiityirl JJITUJIUUUUCU. uy Ulic jjiiysyiijiaiij vvuouiii^ tion.
