Mrs. Todd had been very unwell for four weeks or more and her death was caused by a severe case of pneumonia. The deceased was the wife of Prof. J. M. Todd, of Erskine College and at the time of her death was about thirty years of age. She was only daughter of onr esteemed fellow citizen. Mr. John A. Brice, of Youngsville, a native of Fairfield county, and for a number of years lived in Winnsboro, and was known and loved by every one here and by all of her acquaintances and friends throughout the county. Mrs. Todd was an estimable lady and her death is a severe loss to her immediate family as well as to her other relations. She leaves a tender and loving husband and three little children to mourn her death. Tbe friends of the deceased every where will sympathize with the husband, father and infant children.

The Club Meetings.?The two Democratic clubs of Winnsboro met on Thursday evening for the purpose of transacting some necessary business before the primary election. The "Winnsboro Democratic Club met in the Thespian Hall shortly after eight o'clock, the necessary committees were appointed, a number of Democrats duly enrolled and still others elected members of the Club. The session of the Club was short, all the business was attended to and the meeting adjourned. The meeting of the Young Men's Club had been announced for the same evening, but it was not called to order until fully nine o'clock. This rrac rmmftsplv done to afford those in "ww r ?f . attendance upon the other meeting to be present and hear the candidates set forth their claims before the voters and the people. Mr. J. E. McDonald presided, and in opening the meeting of the evening took occasion to speak for a short time upon the issues in the national canvass and to remind Democrats of their duty iu the premises. Business of a character similar to that gone through with in the oteer Club was hastily but properly dispatched. In the course of the evening short speeches were made by Messrs. A. M. Wallace, C. A. Douglass, E. B. Ragsdale, W. W. Ketchin, J. H*. Harden, J. S. Gunnel!, Prof. DeHerradora and others. Sheriff McCarley and Messrs. Boyles, Kerr and Millett were loudly called for, but all of them declined with thanks. The meeting lasted till ten o'clock or later and the life and animation of the members continued unabated until adjournment. The meetings on Thursday evening was Winnsboro's first taste of the primary canvass, but it will not be the last. The Cedar Creek Club.?Pursuant to adjournment the Cedar Creek Democratic Clnb assembled at Dunlap's mill, their usual place of meeting, on * ? ? a ???L ^ A^1A/?L" n m. oaturuayf Aug-ddi - j ai ^2^ v/*vv? ?- Afther the business of the Clnb was transacted, there being quite a number of caneidates present, they were called on to address the Club. The first speaker who responded was Mr. S. R. Rutland, candidate for legislative honors, who very ably and earnestly advocated the repeal of the Lien Law, and expressed his views on several very important matters concerning the welfare of the country, among others the importance of legislation to induce capital to come to South Carolina and the changcs necessary in our fre<? school system. Mr. R. H. Jennings was next heard. He presented his claims for Clerk of Court in a very earnest and welltimed speech. Messrs. Hinnant, Richmond and Turkett, candidates for the office of County Commissioner, were next introduced, and in very earnest and patriotic speeches presented their several claims for election and re-election to' that important office. Especially were Miv J L. Richmond's war comrades impressed with his remarks. Last bnt not least Mr. "W. W. Smith, candidate for the office of coroner, was introduced, and in a very appropriate manner presented his claims for election, and in conclusion assured his friends that if elected to the offic: to which he aspires he would en- deavor to discharge the duties of said office satisfactorily. Jast here I will say that Cedar Ureet Club was never in better condition for work. The attendance was larger than usual, and the members as a whole were never more enthusiastic. The cause of Democracy will never retrograde in Cedar Creek Democratic Club. Jno. W. Sxiakt, Secretary. CLEVELAND AJS'D THE BACHELORS.
