The meeting is called llr the purpose of taking steps pre|talory to the annual reunion of the Kiment in this place on the first H^saay in August and for the trans||||k of other important business. Ejpeeting is earnestly desired. - - . . :-v. ? : I Fixe Flour.?-Mr. uonn z>. ju> Derison sends to The News and Herald a sack of excellent flour ground from wheat just harvested by him. The grinding was done at the mill of Mr. E. W. Parker, at Kidgeway?which is acknowledged to be one of the finest in the county. Drowned.?Mr. John Smith and a colored man, whose name is unknown to us, were drowned in Broad River near "Wallaceville, in this county, on ~ ? tne tn uil. xney were uum uuui Lexington county and came into the river in a bateau for the purpose of fishing. The river was high and at that point rough and swift. Both parties were in .some way thrown out of their boat and drowned.

Death.?Information has been received of the death of Mr. William F. Watt at his home in Starkville, Miss., on the 29th uiL Mr. Watt had been suffering much for several months prior to his death from consumption, and that disease was the cause of his death. The deceased was about fiflyseven years ol age, and left a wife and one child. Mr. Watt was formerly a citizen of this county, and his many friends here will be sorry to learn of his death. Accepted.?Mr. J. R. Harvev,- the corresponding secretary of the Twelfth Regiment Survivors' Association, received several- days ago the following from Col. McCrady, of Charleston: Charleston*. May 26,1S84. Dear Sir?I have to acknowledge the receipt of your note informing me that at the meeting of the Twelfth Regiment in August last I was chosen to deliver the annual address on the third Thursday in August next, and to say that it will give me pleasure to comply with the request of the Regiment. I am, very respectfully, T?rvcc-1 un \f i T\v .Tt? A Candidate's Card.?The Columbia Register says: A candidate for clerk of the court in one of the counties in this State commences his card thus: . "If the loss of my right arm in the war entitles me to the support of mv fellow-citizens, I respectfully ask said support." If this constitutes the sole claim of the candidate, he makes a good showing for sympathy but a poor one for the office. The loss of a limb in the j A- 5-? J ??. uonieueraie service uues ;iul <ji itcgu give any man a claim on office. If all things else are equal such a man ought to have a preference, otherwise net. The Cotton Plant.?The June number has just been received. The Cottan Plant is the only x>apoix-iu tluv State published exclusively in the interest of the farmer, and should ''be supported by every farmer in the State and South. Among the valuable coiin iccrtP Vjpforft IIS 1 iJL* ?,i?v w.v. .. notice a letter from Col. Jas. H. Rion, showing how to plant lucerne, which alone is worth the subscription price of the paper for a year. The Cotton Plant is a beautifully printed .eightpage forty-column paper the very low price of sixty cents'a year. " The Health ok Wixxsboeo.? "McM.," in a communication in these columns several days ago, complains that we did Winnsboro an injustice in our allusion to the health of the town. We don't think the local notice would warrant the inference that Winnsboro is an unhealthy place. We meant to convey the idea that the cause of sickness here was-temporary in its character and wonld be likely to affect the healthiest of localities. Winnsboro has always been and is cow one of the healthiest towns in South Carolina and this fact will scarcely be denied by any one. Deaths.?Mrs. Nancy Lauhon, of RMiromv. on Fridav last, the ! "*"bv" - i r* ' 23rd Inst., Ui the eightieth year, of her age. Mrs. Lauhon left no surviving children, but her many friends and relatives will sorrow over heivdeath. Her many virtues and Christian character entitle to her the kind remembrance of all good people, and her death is a loss to the community. Mr. William E. Parker, of the firm of JParkec;& Bro., 'of Ridge way,. also died. a&1ii$. in that place on Tuesday, the 30th inst., of consumption. Mr. Parker vi&s about thirtyeight years of age, and leaves a wife a-'? V.-U "vr_ a auu IUU1" UJJUiUJ.cn. a. useful, active and energetic citizen, and Fairfield county, in his death, sustains a loss. - . The County Convention.?It is not long now before the County Convection wQl meet here and we hope a tariff resolution will be unanimously and enthusiastically adopted by that body. The agitation, if effectual, raust begin at home, and Democrats right here in Fairfield county are as vitally interested in the outcome of the discussion and the attitude of the party, as the National Convention- at Chicago will be. The Jtfetcs and Courier says nf fVio loi-ifT vocnlnf imi rp^pnt? v adonted by the County Convention at Chesterfield: Chesterfield county takes a bold and firm stand on the tariff question, and calls for standard-bearers who shall stand upon the Democratic platform of opposition to protective taxes and fight the battle of reform. Each county should declare its opinions in mmiror Tf- will hpln tn hrino- thft young men to the front, and there is iieed of young men in the party. Willoughby Reade.?The entertainment announced in these columns for Tuesday evening last was moderately good and fairly enjoyed by the audience. The programme consisted of recitations by Prof. Reade, and V some of the* selected pieces were tragi cal in character* while others were comical and humorous. The enteri tainment was in the Court House, and lasted for two hours. Comedy and tragedy were judiciously mixed} and Prof. Reade's recitations were well rendered and generally appreciated by his hearers. "The Lady or the Tiger" and "The Mad Man and his Lost Annette" were the best impersonated characters among those of a tragical type, while the comedies proved. laughable and enjoyable. The entertain mentfbeing a benefit performance, it is especially to be regretted that the audience was small. We are unable to give a statement of the net receipts, but they are certainly hot sufficient to defray the expenses of supplying water j for the teachers and pupils of Mount Zion College. A Homicide.?In a difficulty at Rock City, in this county, on last Thursday night, Sandy Robertson shot and mortally wounded Allen Dellen)-. The [ unfortunate affair grew out of a proset cution instituted against Sandy Robertson by a colored woman several days ago, Allen Delleny taking the woman's part. From the prisoner's statement and from the version given by other parties present, it appears that Sandv Robertson was on Thursday evening, about dark, walking home from Rock Ctty iu company with. Sarah "Williams"' and just before reaching the railroad crossing near the quarry they were met by Allen Delleny and Snmpter Gregg. The former accosted Robertson about the difficulty with the woman on the day previous, and used violent and abusive language. According to the prisoner's side of the case, Delleny presented his pistol' to Robertson's breast and said that he intended killing him. Robertson knocked up the weapon, drew his own pistol and fired at Dfclleny, wounding him in the forehead. Delleny died from the effects of the wound late Thursday night, and Robertson promptly surrendered him self to the sheriff on Friday morning. Both the prisoner and the deceased are negroes, and they had been on friendly terms up to within a short time of the killing. ; More of the Tourxajtcxt.?It will be interesting to the members of the Steam Fire Engine Company to know what preparations are being made in Colombia for the reception and what companies they will have to compete. The Columbia Register, of the 29th inst., says: The prospects of a grand success of mc uoiumoia nremen's tournament increase each day that the celebration draws nearer. At a meeting of the executive committee Messrs. N. W. Trump and S. W. Rowan were appointed terminal judges. Arrangements have been made with the hotels and boarding houses for the accommodation of 800 firemen. All the hotels and boarding houses arc in daily receipt of letters reserving accommodations for visitors, especially in engioie locations, xms snows me necessity of prompt notification to the secretary of the executive wimmittw,Mr. H. Frank Monltqn, of the number of men each companv will bring, so -that mr-tttittculty win be experienced in securing accommodations. Each visiting company will confer a great favor by'-giving prompt attention to this request. The Florence steamer and reel will come with fifty men. The "Winyah steamer and reel, of I \jrwrgctv>viJ? win uuujc witu iwcul>tfcree men, including a band of music. The secretary has received a letter from the chief of the fire department of Macon, Ga., stating that the Mechanics, No. 4, of that city, and probably one or two other companies will participate in the Columbia^tournament. Official information has been received that Clinch, No. 2, Vigilant, No. 3, and Alert, No. 9, of Augqsta, Ga., also the Clinch Base Ball Club, will enter the lists. Major Ed. Willis, of Charleston, has organized a team of ten of the swiftest runners of the old volunteer department of that city, who are practising for the Columbia tournament. The Hornet steamer and the Pioneer reel, of Charlotte, N. C., have decided to participate in the Columbia tournament, and are. practising for the occasion. The Hornets won the steamer prize and the Pioneer the first reel prize at the recent contest in Charlotte, and they expect to beat their winning time in this city. That is the way to talk it. ^ The Entertainment Tlrur&day Xfght. An excellent entertainment was given to an appreciative audience in the Thespian Hall last Thursday evening, and the Thespian Corps is to be con4-rkA r?An cnAAAOflfnl Will/"??.. l/UV AWUVfci. tion of the play and farce. It was known in the early afternoon that the crowd would be unusually large, and at eight o'clock men, women and children began hurrying towards the hall, and in a short time every reserved seat was filled, and even the "peanut gallery" groaned beneath a burden of living beings. "We said "the peanut gallery groaned," and it did, for we heard its echoes to the front amid the elite of Winnsboro. Seats gave way, gentlemen suddenly came in rnde contact-. with the, hard floor, and the ladies near by were embarrassed and shocked at the spectacle. Bat quiet was restored again and before nine o'clock the curtain rose and the performance began.. "Among* the Breakers" was the first and principal part of the programme, and with its performance the audience was lirst entertained, xne following is the caste of characters, to wit: David Murray, Keeper of Fairpoint Light, J. H. Harden; Larry Divine, his Assistant, G. B. McCants; Hon." Bruce Hunter, O. Y. Owings, Clarence Hunter, his "Ward, H. B. McMaster; Peter Paragraph, a Newspaper Reporter, T. W. Lauderdale; Scud, Hunter's Colored Servant, Saml. Johnston; Miss Minnie Daze, Hunter's Niece, Miss E. Lauderdale; Bess Starbright, "Cast up by the "Waves," Miss L. Gerig: Mother Carey, a Reputed Fortune Teller, Miss N. A. Phinney; Biddy Bean, an Irish Girl, Miss R. B. McMaster. "Among the Breakers" is a beautiful melo-clrama in but two acts, and was certainly well suited to the tastes of a "Winnsboro audience, and having this much to start with, the talented members of the corps had do difficulty .....?III! I HII " B III II in impressing themselves and their respective ' impersonations favorably npon the assembled crowd. Mr. Johnston's Scud and Mr. McCants's Larry Divine were exceptionally well render^ and Wiimsboro pronounces rtf fT^On ATffl lU^UU WlU&VUttUiJ VI iUVIV WUMU W. % ? nary ability. Messrs. Owings and Harden represented the more serious characters and the fine passages in their respective parts were well spoken. Mr. Lauderdale was the representative of the press, Mr. McMaster, the lover, of course, Miss Lauderdale, the "romantic" character of the play, Miss Gcrig, the brave, fair girl of the sea, Mis3 Phinnev, the witch and fortune reader, ana j*iiss mcinasxer, toe uuiiesi Irish girl, and all of the characters were well presented and heartily appreciated by the audience. Two beautiful songs, entitled, "Only a Dear Little Flower" and Cousin | Jedediah," sung by Messrs. "W. N. Chandler, G. L. Huey, J. G. McCants and D. K.. Flenniken, contributed the second part of the programme. There was unfortunately a little halt in the beginning of the first piece, but it amounted to nothing, and the singing was good enongh for the most fastidious. The evening's programme was concluded with a farce entitled, "The Boston Dip." The "following is the caste of characters, to wit: Mr. Moses Mnlligrnb, one Proprietor of a Fish Cart, now a Eich Speculator, C. M. PhffnrtW* Mhnsiftnr Adonis, a Dane ing Man, R. B. Hanahan; Mr. Richard Dasher, a Fast Man, H. E. Ketchin: Mr. Lavender Kids, an' Exquisite, T. W. Lauderdale; Mrs. Moses Mulligrub, Miss N. A. Phinney; Miss Ida Mulligrnbb, Miss S. Gladden; Miss Eva Nulligrnb, Miss N. Davis. The farce was short but well selected and really enjoyed. Mr. Lauderdale, as the "dude," was inimitable, 8nd everybody was .'favorably im - - ? A! pressed witn tne impersonations 01 me other characters also. The*ladies were charming and just "too utterly too too." The band furnished excellent music daring the evening. Elegant ice cream was served raider the auspices of the ladies, the proceeds of which will also ,l>e given to the band* This ended the published programme and the most substantial information that wc can give is that ninety dollars were realized by the entertainment. This fund, after the payment ot expenses, will be given to the Citizens' Cornet Band. . . After the performance the ladies and gentlemen remained in the hall and danced until two o'clock., The whole occasion passed off very pleasantly indeed, and the Thespian Corps should be happy. THE SALEM CLUB. The Salem Democratic Clno reorganized on Saturday,. the 31st of May, and unfurled their colors to the breeze. The honest and feithfnl discharge of ditty on the party of the officers of the last-campaign wasdaly appreciated by the club, which led to the re-electfoir - * T_ 01 tne same, xne seieuuuu ui ucicgates came next in order, which resulted In the unanimous election of the following-joined gentlemen: Capt.

Moxticello, May 29.?Yesterday afternoon there was a narrow escape from death by lightning in this neighborhood. A large tree within ten feet of the house of Mr. M. G. Neal was struck, severely shocking Mrs. Neal and her daughter Miss Minnie. To the latter especially, the shock was most severe, prostrating her upon the floor in an. lUSeU3lu:e WUU1UVIU, 1U nrnvu oug xVmained for some length of time. I learn, however, that both mother and daughter have entirely recovered, j Mr.-Neal, who was at a little distance from the house was also shocked slightly. Bark and splinters from the tree were thrown into the house. The escape of the inmates seems almost miraculous. There have been abundant rains in this part of the county of late?indeed, some of our planters say too much. The wheat crop is said to be excellent, oats not so good as they promised earlier in the spring. Corn is very promising thus far and the stand of cotton excellent. Our planters are well ad yanced with their work, many of them having "chopped out" to a stand. There has been, a good deal of sickness in the country, but I hear of no recent deaths. Yes, one is dead?one Politics dead as "ze nail on ze door"? died of hard work. Wouldn't it be good to the old State if resurrection should be indefinitely postponed? I have forgotten to mention that sevA 6 I eral planters in this vicinity have "in-' vested" in self-binding reapers. . A noteworthy step in agricultural progress, whereof we are proud and hopeful. s.

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 yiiyniainn ha*! mymnnrftii her case hopeless. I went iDHBediately over, anCTl" fiaf thai 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 tne disease. Tliis was about the time you began to advertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, 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 th& 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 i ctxtoII/vu/o r\f Rrewpr's 1 .nntr Restorer (which she is never without) "relieve her immediately. I consider her restoration to i 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 ? medicine would be required, that he does noispeak of it in most glowing terms. Not long since a Northern gentleman on his wav to Florida heard of this cure and was , induced bjr toy 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 pn my little son, who was troubled with lung or throat affection, pronounced by one physician, consumption, It acted wonderfully on hiei, and by the tiine 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 the Lung Restorer with me.
