The State Democratic Executive Committee have arranged a series of public meetings to be addressed by speakers selected for the purpose. The first meeting n will take place at Pickeas Courthouse j on Tuesday, the 23rd inst. The meet- j T? ! ing at Winnsboro will take place on ; Saturday, October 4. The speakers i appointed are Senator Hampton and j Messrs. John C. Sheppard, John Peter | Richardson, "Win. II. Perry, Asbury j Coward, Wm. Munro, John D. Kennedy, T. C. Gaston and John E. Bacon. We shall expect a big turnout and a fine meeting generally. The State.canvass will close with the meeting at | Columbia on Friday, October 31. o The Health of Wixxsboro.?A special dispatch to the Neics and Courier says. The health of TVinnsboro is as good as usual. There are. however, a few cases of fever, including two of typhoid, the latter now fully convalescent. The health of the county in general is, from the information I can gather, about as good as usual. There are some cases of malarial and of typhoid fevers, but there is nothing Htf* fin nnidemic. L The statement above is doubtless correct and based upon the most reliainformation. There are, perhaps, a few* more cases of fever in the county than we would suppose, from the article above, but we have no grounds for fearing anything like an epidemic. Fairfield can justly claim to be one of the healthiest counties in the State. The Court of Sessions.?The fall term of the Court of Geueral Sessions for this county opened on Monday morning, his Honor James S. Cothran, Judge of the eighth judicial circuit, presiding. Ilis Honor charged the graiict jury as to their duties in gen crai, and more especially as to tne cases in which bills were banded out by the Solicitor. Several cases were submitted, and true bills were found. The Court then proceedod to the trial of cases, as follows: State rs. Clifton Dillard, charged with larceny of grain from the field? stealing a bundle of oats from afield it? the plantation of Gen. John Bratton. Mr. 0. W. Buchanan appeared for the defence. Verdict?Not guilty. Fixe Cattle.?Mr. D. R. Flenuiken, of our town, has a herd of imported Guernseys which we think can scarcely be equalled, much .less excelled, on tlie Island of Guernsey. They arc from strains that are noted for quantity as.well as quality of milk and butter. He has a heifer (La Zinea, Xo. 1,757,) eighteen months old, with an- udder that measures?previous to calving?fifty-five inches in circumference, sixteen inches from point to point: of front teats, and thirty-four inches in length. We think this extraordinary for a cow thai has not reached maturity. Mr.Flenniken has three other heifers that are equally, promising, but are not so far advanced. Farmers aud cattle men who have not seen this herd will be well paid to call and examine for themselves. We understand that Mr. Fienniken proposes exhibiting his cattle at the State Fair, and we may confidently expect that he will carry off the blue ribbon. Candidate for Congress.?A writer j from this place to the JVetcs and Con- j Her says of Mr. D. R. Feaster and his j nomination for Congress: The nomination of D. R. Feaster for Congress makes no impression here, except to excite some merriment. He is. a man of considerable intelligence and good personal character, but of limited education. In a normal condition of politics he could never be nornnatea .for Congress. He was in 1876 and for some time afterwards an active j Democrat, beins: the president of one of the finest clubs in the admirable organization then and since existing in this county. In 1878 he became dissatisfied and quit the club. In 1S80 he, McLane and V. P. Clayton formed a Greenback club here, the first in the State^ In 18S2 he ran for the Legislature on the Greenback ticket, but was overwhelmingly defeated. He received an extremely small white vote, not moi*e than forty or fifty, if so many. He will have no better following in his race for Congress, and will, of coarse, be beaten, "it is presumed that he will run the race -through, as he ' ' ? a? was present at me convention wmcn nominated him. The Jadicial Convention. The Convention called to meet in Chester last week for the purpose of nominating a Solicitor for the Sixth Judicial District, has met and adjourned sine die without making a nomination. There were four candidates in the fielft?one from each county in the circuit. Mr. J. E. McDonald, throughout the entire session of the Convention received the""eighl solid votes of Fairfield (with the exception tion of the unmeaning and complimentary votes exchanged), Mr. T. C. fioifnri fViA Aiwhf- frr?m C!hf>sf-pr_ AT J*. W. B. ilcCaw the teu from. York, and Mr. M. J. Hough Lancaster's six. One hundred and sixteen ballots were taken, and the delegates, in disgust, voted an adjournment, and even- man returned, respectively, to his own home. It is due to Chester to say that her delegation voted solidly against adjournment, and it is also due the gentlemen who represented the other three counties of the circuit to state that adjournment was only "Voted for after it was evident that 110 nomination^could 'possibly be made. Some of the -candidates doubtless should have been withdrawn, but the question as to what one or two of them should be sacrificed could not be answered. and the conscience of the / Convention, right or wrong, decided that an adjournment was preferable to a "lottery nomination,'* The sessions of the Convention "were pleasant indeed, and the writer was glad of the privilege of being present and participating in the deliberations of that body. Messrs. A. E. Davis, Chas. A Douglass, E. D. Moblcy, John D. Harrison, Thomas S. Brice, Joseph K. Alston, J. M. Higgins and J. "W, Houahan composed the Fairfield delegation. The executive committee of the circuit will doubtless call another convention, to meet some time cfcring the present or next month. The Primary Election. ?The Democratic County Executive Committee met here on Tuesdav. the 2nd insL. to aggregate the returns from the differ. 4 , V- '* '* . v .... - r-'i . ent clubs.

For Sheriff?Jno. D. McCarley. For School Commissioner ? John Boyd. For Judge of Probate?J. R. Boyles. For Gounty Commissioners?J. G. Heron, D. H. Robertson, J. L. Richmond. In accordance with the rules, the County Executive Committee has ordered a second primary to be held on Saturday next, to choose a candidate for Clerk of Court and for coroner. It will be observed, from their cards published elsewhere, that Messrs. R. H. Jennings and R. F. Martin have withdrawn from the contest. ' This insnres the nomination of Mr. W. H. Kerr for Clerk, and Mr. G. S. Hinnant for coroner. f : Transfers of Real Estate. Since our last report the folio-wing transfers have been entered in the office of the county auditor: April 19, 18S4.

Ridge way, September 3,?After ormcrrafrilafions; fn fhfi Junior for the S high compliment paid him by a maj jority of his fellow Democrats, at the I primary, in placing his name in nomir nation for legislative honors, I send you a few items from this place. In and around our town we are suffering from the effects of a drought of nearly four weeks' continuance. Cotton stalks nearly disiccated, corn blades parched, turnip plants burnt up, sweet potato vines wilted, gardens exhausted and gnats abounding. " 1 Tk /-, 1_ uur inena Jtsear uius-., suppose that the Ridgeway Clnb desired to usurp the place of holding the combined club meeting at this place. Bat statements were made at the meeting which urged this Club, reluctantly on its part, to ask for a transfer of the point of meeting from Bear Creek to Ridgeway. Aimwell congregation (Presbyterian) are having a neat and comfoi'table chapel erected on the east side of Means street, on the lot owned by Mr. A. F. Ruff. Sain Thomas, colored, a good and useful citizen, respected by all for his industry, honesty and integrity, carpenter by trade, but generally useful, while working on the belfry yesterday made a misstep and fell the distance of twenty-seven feet, disloca' ting two of the vertebrse and died in about fifteen minutes. Sam . Thomas will be well remembered by the sur| vivors of the 12th Regiment, S. C. V. He went with Captain Thomas and was with the Regiment at the surrender. He was quite a favorite and respected by all the soldiers who were thrown in contact with him. Drs. Palmer and W. Taylor Edmunds-were called and were immediately present, but could do nothing for him. Dr. Edmunds, Sr., Miss F, L. Ruff, Mr. W. H. Ruff and Captain John Thomas have taken a trip to Waynesville and the mountains. Subscriber. BOGS. Messrs. Editors: Through, the columns of your paper I will urge my protest against tho recent action of Council, in passing the ordinance pro-hibiting the keeping or raising of hogs within the corporate limits of the town. - -v I think, in our present economical status, with short crops, stringent .money market, undiminished and an diminishing; taxes, etc., that the action of our Council was unwise, aud'adverse to the majority. Argument would be useless, to convince those Avho approve the action of Council, that a hog or two in an open lot, or about a stable (especially a livery stable), would be beneficial rather than otherwise. Hogs are good scavengers, and contribute frequently to the destruction of decaying animal and vegetable matter, itself favorable for the development of disease. Few would doubt the proprietyI believe, of even permitting three or four hogs running at large in the streetsjof the town during the months of July und August, were it .practicable to have the.m; but it is liot. For the same reasons I wish one or two to destroy the refuse qf. my own lot and garden. I would not be understood as advocating the existence, of one single (3x6 feet) pig pen./ By 110 means. On the contrary, when- such annoyances do exist, they should be (and they can.be) easily abated as any other nuisance by application to Council. Little objection, I think,. can be raised against keeping a hog daring the winter months. In a practical point, of view I think this ordinance will bear especially and more particularly upon those citizensliving on the saburbsof the town.1 If they should feel that it does, I hope they will, urge their, objections to the ordinance. It cannot be doubted that it is a. matter of some importance when we think that 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of first-rate bacon can be raised within the corporate limits of the town in a nort'? on/1 fhnf manv fMtiw.ll.Q cau, with little expense, produce sufficient meat to remunerate them, in part at least, in return for taxes. Such, Messrs. Editors, are a few of the reasons why my objoetion is'made to the ordinance, and I hope it will be repealed or expunged from the record. " a.
