Williford, while hitched near the feight depot, became frightened at a wagon moving near by, and,breaking loose, ran np Congress street at fall speed. On the animal's approaching the stable, some persons on "heading" him,, caused him to make a sudden tarn towards the building? which resulted in his breaking his left fore leg, just below the knee. The, fracture was complete?the lower part of the limb literally dangling to and ^ fro. The injury was so serious that W the horse had to be killed. He was a fine animal?valued at about two hun' dred and fifty dollars.

Death by Fire.?The little child of John "Wade, a colored man living on i the plantation of Mr, F. Elder,' near town, was burnt to death by tire last * Sunday night. The father and mother, 1 following the very- foolish custom so i general among negroes, left their children, two in number, locked up in the house and left about dark for church. "The house in some way took fife and A was entirely -destroyed and with it the little child mentioned above. The oldH est of the children managed to crawl ' out of the window in time to .save its own life, and made some efforts to [rescue the youngest one, but in vain.! Such culpable conduct on the part of parents-should be made criminal by law. * : -A; l'ekh;s Puzzle.?The following ; curious puzzle is said to beat the celc-1 brated "1-3-11-1.3," and is well worth j investigating: Take a strip of paper or cardboard thirteen inches long and j five wide, thus giving a surface of j sixiy-five inches. Xow, cut this strip j diagonally as true as yon can, giving ! two pieces in the shape of a triangle, j and measure exactly five inches from j the end of each strip and cut in two pieces; take these strips and put them into the shape of an exact square, and it will aopear to be just eight inches caeh way, or sixty-four square inches, ft Trtsc nf rme snnaro inch bv sunerficial ! measurement with 110 diminution of surface. The question is, what becomes of that inch? The Last of the Canvass.?The last appointment for the county canvassers was at Winnsboro and Friday night the time for that meeting. By eight o'clock the Court House was literally jammed with lively and enthusiastic voters, both from town and j country, ready, anxious and impatient! t6 hear (he candidates talk to and J plead with the "dear people." Messrs. j Jas. A; Brice and J. E. McJDonald,! the presidents of the town clubs, pre- j sided, and together introduced the ?pe$ker?'of the evening. All of the candidates had ';a say," and the audi- j ence- gave -to-all- enthusiasm enough ; audio-marked partiality was shown. J The meeting was altogether quite successful,., and at this writing the voters have shown their respective preferences in the form of their ballots. Death.?'Mi's. I?. A. Leviuing, of the Jackson's , Creek neighbochood, died atier residence on the 24th nit. and was buried in the graveyard of the - Jackson's Creek Presbyterian | "church on the following day. The j deceased was born in this county in i the year 1812,'abd was from early life ! a member of Lebanon church. She j was possessed of very fine traits of character, and her many warm friends will regret to learn of her death. The deceased left behind her one daiTghter n.wi n fr> mmirti her death. (Alili U. WW -Mrs. E. K. Anderson, the mother of Mr. Thomas Anderson, died at her son's residence, in; this county, on Thursday last; Mrs. Anderson had reached a ripe old ago, and in her long lifeslfc maintained the character of a true . Christian lady. Her death will be widely lamented. A Miraculous Escape.?Little Nannie, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. John Watt, living about ten miles fromWinnsboro, suffered a very narrow escape on Monday, the 25th ult. . In Mr. Watt's yard a well about fifty-two feet deep had been dag, and on the day of tliis accident it was being i walled-. The wall had been finished | for tweutv-five feet or more and the I hands engaged in the work had stopped | work for dinner. Mr. Watt's little | girl was playing near the opening, and ; walking backwards with a toy fell j down into the well. The father was near by and heard the fall and assistance was immediately procured and one of the hands was let down into the well. The water in the well was fully four feet deep, and the little girl was found holding herself out of the water by resting her ftet upon one side of the wall and clinging with her hands to the-otherside. She was but slightly injured, receiving only slight bruises upon the leg and side. "When it is remembered that she had a fall backwards of fifty-two feet and that she was forced to pass two planks stretched across the well at the top of the walling, and then into four feet of water, and being only four years of age, it was unquestionably a very miraculous escape. We are glad that no serious and permanent injury resulted from the fall. ' The Pkdiary Elkction. ?The Democratic primary election passed off very quietly on Monda}r.

Jas. II. Jlion: i "Winnsboro, S. C., August 21.?Col-1. onel James II. Eion, of this place, is } suffering with a peculiar hurt, which I alarms himself and his friends. When ' T i _ r r ... i x? i .Lima, tiurst gave ner nisi perionnancu i in Columbia, about two months ago, Col. Rion was requested to go upon ; the stage and test the girl's power.! ile did so, ai*l a lively tussle ensued, ; ; which greatly amused the assembly, j i Although a small man, Colonel Rion is ! very strong and wiry, and he made a 1 very good stand against the "Georgia j : wonder." After the struggle, Colonel < Rion discovered that in the struggle be ! i had ruptured a blood vessel in his arm, j i and a physician who examined the j" hurt, pronounccd it a serious affair, ! i and advised the Colonel to be very ! ] careful. The arm continued to give 15 him much pain, aiid he vaiuly sought ' ; relief in sundry remedies suggested by j ] his mnrlifiil advisers. T .atelvthe ininrv ' ; lias assumed an alarming' phase. ! \ Something in the natnre of blood pois- ; i oning has aet in and his health is break- j ingdown rapidly. His friend are serionslv troubled about his condition. The doctors declare that if the blood poisoning cannot be conquered, death will be the result. Colonel Ilion has, ! for many years, been esteemed as one ! of the most able and successful lawyers ] in South Carolina. He lives in elegant style in this town, surrounded by an ( interesting family. His library is said 1 to be the finest in the State. Colonel i Rion has the sympathy of the entire < community in his trouble, and the fer- 1 vent wish of all is that he.may recover his health. * ' " * It is simply bosh to talk about Col- 1 liioivs having been hurt in his "strug- < gle" with Lula Hurst. That young < lady exhibited in Columbia in the lat- < ter port of May. The rupture of the ( blood-vessel in Colonel Ilion's hand 1 showed itself in flie latter part of June. ? As to his present condition, we are 1 pleased to say. that it is altogether 1 favorable?a little time being necessary I for the restoration of his hand to its normal condition. Of course, as tlie * doctors are said to have sagely declared, t if there is blood poisoning, and if it < cannot be stopped, Colonel llion is in i great danger. But happily for him, i and unhappily for the sensational a story of the sago correspondent, there z is no blood poisoning at all. s THE TWELFTH REGIMES T. . The Sixth Annual Meeting at "Walhalla? 1 Address by Gen. Edvrard TffcCrady. ( [KSPOKTED FOB THE NEWS AND H?KAL1>.J j The survivors of the Twelth Regi- j ment, S. C. V., met at Walhalla, S.

The survivors were then marched to Biemann's Motel behind strains of martial music, ^here the entire number of survivors ind their gnests and friends partook of a most sumptuous dinner, all at the same table. After dinner most of tbe survivors i vailed themselves of a cheap excursion offered by Mr. Henry Biemann to :hc tunnel, shaft and falls in the mountains.

J. R. Boyles, Secretary. THE VOTJXTY CANVASS. The Meetinc: at Blytheivood. The meeting at Blythewood was ield by instructions issued by the Exicutive Committee and was well at;eiided. The interest evinced by the roung men, the middle aged and jrandsires of our illustrious old Fairield county is sufficient evidence that :he Democracy of South Carolina will lever want for support by her native :itizenship. The speeches of the canlidates for the several county and State )ffices accord well with the sentiments >f the yeomanry of the State, and we lave no doubt that on the first day of September Fairfield will give, to the >eople a representation that will not xa 4-s\ fhd* mnccflc nf flio /C Ul/J^VllV/liaiJUV IV IUV MAUUOV>J v* fc?iv )cople. After the speaking there was a sump,uons feast furnished by the citizens of he neighborhood. The ladies were nit in force, and whenever they grace ui occasion with their presence success s sure to be the result. The whole iffair was indeed creditable to the jood people of Blythewood and the iurrounding country. k. Xhe Meeting at Smitb's Spring. Messrs. Editors: According to the cgular appointment of the' County Executive Committee, the Horeb, ireenbrier ana Mossy Dale Clubs issembled on the 27th inst. in the grove m mediately adjoining the residence of Dr. Ira T. Smith, to hear the candilates for politic ' -honors express their riews upon the varions issues of the lay. The attendance was gratifvingly arge, showing thereby the great inerest. these hardy Democrats take in he welfare of their native rountv. llany ladies graced the occasion with heir presence, much to the joy of the ivejrage candidate who abundantly ippreciates the fact that by winning he smiles' and favor of the fair ones ie can more readily make an inroad to he votes of the sturdier sex. Mr. U. C. Trapp, of the Mossy Dale }lub, presided very acceptably, introlucing the candidates in a pleasant nanner, each one in his turn. They ill responded (with a single excepion, owing to sickness) in commendible efforts, each one promising to do ;he correct thing1, if honored with the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. As :here "is no issue between any two of :he candidates we deem it unuecessarv :o give a detailed account of their respective speeches. They are almost unanimous upon every issue, differing, perhaps, only in minor details. As no invidious comparisons can dc maae, ;vhen speaking of the shrievalty, we will state that after repeated calls the sheriff responded, and promised one aid all that should it ever fall to his lot to hang any oue of his constituents 30 would do so in the easiest improved modern methods. This happy effort ivokedloud applause. For at least two hours the audience svas given an intellectual treat, but as tve cannot tax one part of our nature it the expense of the other, when dinner was announced by the chairman there was a uuanimous desire depicted )n'every countenance to immediately satisfy "the wants of onr physical nature. Abundant opportunity was afforded every oue to do this and right riobly did "we all enter the contest. Upon occasions like this tables usually "groan with their load of delicious ciands," but the assembled hosts were too busy to hear any cries of distress from the belabored table. Doubtless they were made, as everything that the'most dainty could wish was abun clantly and freely dispensed, in addition to the- varions barbecued meats there were other delicacies in profusion too numerous to mention. One who was not heartily satisfied with that dinner demands too muchAfter indulging in social enjoyments and a hearty hand-shaking by all the candidates, the assembly slowly departed homeward with pleasant memories of an enjoyable occasion. p. B. The Meeting: at aionliceUo. . Thursday dawned bright and lovely and at an early hour a number of buggies left town to attend the meeting at Monticello. "When we arrived at our sister town we found it alive to the occasion, and quite a large crowd present to greet and welcome the* various candidates. It was not long after our arrival until we saw the candidates mingling with the "dear people," and not unfrequently did we fcfcar the questions, "Howdv "do; how is your family?" "At the appointed hour, the chairman, the Hon. John "W*. Lyles, called the meeting to order, and in a happy style introduced the candidates to the good people of Monticello ai?d the surrounding country. The audience gave good attention to .the speeches of the men who were present to solicit their suffrages, and clearly proved by their actions that they felt an interest in the politics of the day, and would act well their part in sustaining the supremacy of Deraocrary, both in the county and SUto. AU of the candidates acquitted themselves creditably, and I venture to say that it will be 110 small body who find' difficulty in rendering their decision on the 1st. After the speeches the chairman invited the crowd to repair to the table. There we found a bountiful supply of every thing tempting to the palate. A committee had been appointed (o attend to the cooking, aud I need not say they knew theii business, as a taste of the nicely barren-jd meat would convince all that they undestood the best of barbecuing. Quite a number r?f hpnntffnl v An nor TflHips orap.pri the occasion with iheir presence and added greatly to the pleasures and happiness of all present, The Crosby viile Cornet Baud discoursed sweet music at proper intervals, contributing well their part to the pleasure of the occasion. The band was in good practice and is an \ * > UL.UIUU, UiUU an honor to the western portion of the county. Towards the cool of the evening the ; crowd began to disperse, feeling that they were indebted to the people of j Monticello for one happy day. sr. A. Messrs. Editors: Allow me space in I your valuable paper to publicly ac| knowledge the obligations that myself I and family are brought under to our j friends and neighbors for their timely . I Aid in extinguishing the devouring j flames of the incendiary on ?the night J of the 20th inst., when my barn with j all its contents, oats, rough food, ' I wagon, buggy, gears, two mules, etc., were consumed. But for their promptness and untiring diligence amidst the dangers of the flames the store-house I would have been burned to the ground, | and it being so near the well, water j could not have been obtained to save the dwelling, and thus everything would have been swept away As it was, the store and dwelling were both saved, but the former was considerably damaged. Our kind neighbors, however, assembled the next day and repaired most of the damage to the building. Our colored friends, too, rendered valued service in extinguishing the fire. Our loss, as near as we cau estimate, is between I en and twelve hundred dollars. That it was not heavier was due through Divine goodness to the efforts of our friends. E. H. Jennings. August 21st, 1884. HOGS. Messrs. Editors: AVc think the comments of "Hygeia" upon the Board of Health does that bocly injustice, as shown by their report published in your columns. All the Board of Health can do is" to point out where .things exist that are deleterious to health. It is then incumbent 011 the citizens, voluntarily, to carry out their recommendations; or for the town government to enforce a compliance. We agree, however, with "Ilygeia" as to the baneful- etfects of keeping hogs in town either in pens or yards. The Aiken papers attribute the prevalence of typhoid fever in their town, usually famed for health, to the num ber of hogs raised within *he corporate limits. The city council of Greenville has lately passed an ordinance against hogs, enforceable by fiues. Let this terrible nuisance be abolished. ' ' JuSTJOE. HOGS, Messrs. Editors: As I am suffering from the proximity of a hog pen, and everybody is taking up this matter of hogs "to publish it in the streets of Askelon," I think I will have my say, which is all a poor lone woman can do! Although on one side of my house we sniff the air from Gehenna, I have long refrained from doing my duty, by complaining 10 the auhorities, because the neighbor is a good one in many respects, and his pigs and hogs seem to be his Lares and Penates. I do hope, Messrs.' Editors, my neighbor will sec this, and appreciating my forbearance as well as my distress, have the goodness to fold his pens, like the Arab his tents, and silently steal them away without making a fuss about my interference.
