Time is running short. ?We would repeat our request to have the address of the'gentlemen who * kindly sent us advance reports of the j recent primary election. ?We want the Democratic meeting at "Winnsboro on the 4th day of October to be'the biggest thing of the campaign of 1884. ?Mess.

"We are glad to note such wholesome proof of the return of the modesty of Ms Detter ana earner nie. sus iacum should thank the young lady for the "set-back" given him. ?A negro in Greenville county voted at the recent primary election and pledged himself to support the Democratic nominees. For this action he was expelled from a society* of which he was a member because it v/as contrary to their constitution for a Democrat to be on the roll. This is another evidence of the non-partisan principles of some of their so-calleii benevolent societies. ?We heard a spectator tellingjwhat he heard of a lawyer's speech in a hog" case in the General Sessions last week. The earnest attorney said in the glow i Ui CiU\j[uuuv^ u^uugui^u vi tuw ; jury, my client ate no more of that hog than I did."' We read of an 5 attorney making this assertion before, and rumor said that he had gotten just one-half of the stolen hog from : his client, and consequently spoke ; strictly the truth. "We advise our ; friend not to repeat for fear he may be : similarly charged. Off for Washington.?Mr. W. L. I McDonald left on Monday for Wash- ; ington, D.

A "Wdsksboro Inventor.?The Scientifiic American mentions that a journal bearing has been patented by Mr. J. M. Elliott,, of this place. The cap of the journal box has an adjustable bearing block, and is provided with adinsHno- screws for cpf-fino- if. ?-J 0 down on the journal; also with an adjusting screw and bearing faces for f:;- controlling the block laterally, the cap being permanently bolted down on the box.

History of the Countt.?Mr. William Ederinglon, of Feastervillc, is now engaged in writing a history of Fairfield county, which he hopes soon to have ready for publication. Mr Ederington is a very spicy and interesting writer, and we have no doubt that his work will do credit to himself, honor to the county and furnish much useful and entertaining informato all those who may read it. "We | hope he will receive the needed assist| ance from every section of the county. ' Match Games.?On the 9th inst. a match game of base ball was played between the Boro boys and the Union nitre on the ground of the Unions. The Unions were victorious in a score of 31 to 24. A second trial between the same clubs was had on the College Green on last Thursday afternoon. Our boys of the Boro were beaten again, and the Unions left for home, carrying with them a score of 17 to 7. We congrat.ulateG&e victors on their successive triumphs and we tender our pro-fouud sympathies to our friends and neighbors in Winnsboro. Deaths.?Little Emma, the daughter of ! Mr. and Mrs. A..F. Ruff, of Ridges ray, died last Wednesday afternoon of diphtheria. The deceased was about seven years of age and a bright and promising girl. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Huff will be sorry to learn of this sad afilction. Joseph, the third child of Mr. J. Clar ence Brice, *of Woodward's also died of diphtheria on last Wednesday. The little boy's death was a sac{ one and the grief-stricken parents will have the heartfelt sympathies of their many friends and relatives in that as well as other sections of the county. A Compliment Appreciated.?A well-informed lady, writing us from I Xev,- Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y., says: "In looking over some old papers belonging to a friend of mine, not long ago, I came across one called The Fairfield News and Herald, and allow me to say, before going any farther, that it is one ot the most interesting papers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. .1 was surprised when I heard the size of the town it is published in. I could mention a number of our Northern towns twice as large as "Winnsboro where local papers do not compare in size or contents to The. Fairfield News and Herald." Another Marriage.?A correspondent of the Chester Reporter says of the marriage oi rroiessor j>usi>\: Prof. D. B. Busby, of the Crosby Institute, and Miss M*. E. Faucett wer'e married by the Rev. J. D. Mahon, in Beaver Creek church, in the presence j of a very large audience, on the 7th of this month. This is a new link in thfib.ciiain that binds Professor Busby to 'rthe destinies of onr community. The bride has been identified, as assistant, with the Institute since its organization. She stands high in the esteem of the patrons and lives in the hearts of ber pupils. Of course we desire a continuance of the present bliss of the happy couple. Every effort should be made by the citizens of this community to make the institution more prosperous than ever. Happy Nuptials. ? On Thursday last, at tne nour one o ciock, u. iu., Mr. D. J. Macauley was duly united in marriage to Miss Sallie McMaster of this place. The interesting and touching ceremony was performed by the Eev. Mr. Lester at the residence of Mrs. E. B. McMaster, the mother of the accomplished bride, and a namber of the friends aud relatives of the i happy pair was present to wituess the I marriage scene and to tender gratula- j iions to the newly made husband and I wife. This important part of the hour's entertainment over, the party, ou invitation, feasted of the many nice delicacies prepared for the festive occasion. Many elegant and valuable presents were given the wedded pair. The couple left on the north-bound! passenger train for a bridal tour to the I North. They expect to go as far north j as New York and will be absent about a week or ten days. We wish for then a united life of joy ancl sunshine", j Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. : ?The October number is even more interesting than usual, the 128 quarto pages being filled with articles, stories, sketches, adventures,'poems, etc., by soihe of our most popular writers. The illustrations number over 100, together with a colored p]ate frexotispiece, "The intoxication of Draught." "The House of Lords," by SToeJ Ruthven; "A day at Chiselhurst," by Sarah K. Bolton; i'An American Imporessario's Experience in British Burmah," by J. Charles Davis, are among the elaborately illustrated articles. The serial "A Dark Deed" is concluded, and there are stones ana sketches by M. Norcott, Annie Thomas, Imogene H. Sykes, Agnes James, etc., . and some excellent poetry by F. H. Parker, C. Grindrod, Susan K. Phillips, etc. The great merit of this mag-" azine seems to be fully appreciated by the public, and it is really the cheapest and the most popular monthly published.

Friday began the Jewish year 5945. Its opening is one of the most solemn festivals of the year in the Jewish church. The synagogues are open, and the services upon the occasion are always of an impressive character. The day is called {?Rosh Iloshannah," and is on the first and sccond days of the month Tishri. It is also called Yom Ilazikoron, a day of memorial and feasts of trumpets as a sacrifice instead of Isaac. It is a holy convocation on which 110 servile work is to be done. From the first to the tenth are called Penitential days. In the service of the festival I o liflfnrPL firs of fcrcd?of homage, remembrance and of sounding the trumpet. These embody invocations that mankind mayarrive at a true knowledge of the Creator, His beneficence, His omniscience and his providence. Every true Israelite comprehends the observance of the day with proper feelings inherited from childhood: "And the Lord said unto Moses, saying-, 'Speak unto the children of Israel. Say in the seventh month, and on the first day of ! the month, shall yc have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets and holy convocation, and ye shall do no 'servile work.'" Also in Numbers: "And in the seventh month, and on" the first day of the month, shall ye have a rest, a day of memorial, of sounding the cornet, a holy convocation; no servile work shall ye do; a day of blowing the cornet shall it be unto you, holy unto the Eternal." The Judicial Convention Again.? j All the papers iu the cjrcrtit arc dis-; cussing the novel questions growing out of the sine die adjournment of the Judicial Convention. The Rock Hill Herald, replying to a recent article in The News .and Herald on this subject, took the occasion to agree with us in the position that the Convention had no right to adjourn sine die before a nomination- ^ns made, but claims that the Executiyc Committee of the circuit has no right to call the Convention together a^ain, as -it has now passed beyond the jurisdiction of that committee: but that it is the duty of the president of that Convention to call it togetner again, nxiHg ine time and place. This, is probably the correct view of the matter, but we think it would be better for this to be done upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee, both as to time and place,' This, we think, would be the safer course to pursue. The Chester Reporter says: How, when and where to unravel the taDgled skein of the late Judicial Convention at this place is a matter which attracts attention and discussion just now. As usual, the doctors differ | in opinion as to the course of treatment to be used. Major "Woodward, chairman of the Executive Committee of Faii-field, is of opinion that the | recent Convention was bound to make a nomination before adjourning sine die; that such adjournment, before completing the work for which it was called, was, therefore, void, and that the Convention "should be ordered to reassemble and complete the work for which it was commissioned." Ira B.' Jones, Esq., county chairman of Lancaster, thinks tbat the Convention "acted unwisely in adjourning sine die without nominating a solicitor, but it had the power to so adjourn, and havj ing exercised that power, the Convention is now dissolved." Mr. Jones | thinks that "the only way to remedy the evil is by a a new judicial convention of delegates elected by new county conventions." The German.?The German on last "Wednesday evening was certainly all that that the most sanguine anticipated. The crowd of spectators was sufficient ly Jarge, ana tne iaay ana genueman participants were all nicely, elegantly and appropriately dressed and were well-trained dancers. The gentlemen, at least a number of them, were out in "spikes", and the following is a list of costumes of the ladies who participated: Miss Kate McMaster, of Columbia, black silk, Spanish lace and crimson roses. Miss Agnes McMaster, of Columbia, cream mull, with oriental lace. Miss Fioride Koble, of Abbeville, white mull, with crimson flowers, pearl ornaments.

Messrs. Gaillard & Bey nolds appeared for the plaintilt ana Messrs. McDonald & Douglass represented the defendants. The action was in the nature of conflicting claims between the parlies to the suit over a fund of ninety-five dollars in the hands of the sheriff. The money litigated over was the proceeds of a horse sold nnder a mortgage held by Herron aud given by MacVeagh. The plaintiff claimed title to the horse. The jury found $12.30 for the W. J. Herron, the surae of $17.55 for John D. McCarley, Sheriff, as expenses of foreclosure of mortgage, etc., and the sum of $65.15 for tiie piantin., The case of Elizabeth Nelson and Others vs. The Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad Company was the last jury case disposed of during the present term of the Circuit Court. Messrs. Lyles & Buchanan represented the plaiutiffs and Col. Jas. H. Rion the defendants. This was a suit brought by the plaintiffs against the defendants, charging trespass?taking and bauling away the soil and sand from the lands of the plaintiffs after notice and warning. The plaintiffs claimed 1,000 damages. The jury found for the plaintiffs the sum of $300. The jurors on Tuesday afternoon WCl'C UldUJLl&l r o o** returned to tl^k^iomes again. The CtJtHr^ -since'Tuesday lias been occupied in the hearing of equity cases. But little business was done in Court on Friday. A few equity cases were argued, but nothing of public interest. The Court adjourned sine die on Saturday morning, and Judge Cothran left on the north-bound traiu for Lancaster wharc he opened Court on Monday. THE COTTON EXPOSTTIOX. Ia obedience to a resolution adopted at a meeting on the 9ih inst. of some of those who desire that Fairfield shall have "a place in the picture" at the New Orleans Exposition, I call npon all interested in the object to meet in Winnsboro on the first Monday in October, at 10 a. in., to devise ways and means whereby Fairfield may be enabled to wheel into line with her sister counties. G. H. McMasteb, Chairman. A XJ.BJSZAGE FEAST. Messrs. Editors; On the afternoon of the 11th inst. a company of friends assembled at the residenee of Dr. John Boyd to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Ella Boyd, to Mr. M. H. Traylor, of Alabama. The ceremony was performed by the writer, and it was a real pleasure to act. a part in uniting the destiny of such a happy and worthy pair. After the usual congratulations, etc., the crowd were chatting pleasantly,. when the Doctor announced, with his characteristic ease and dignity, that a feast was awaiting us in the adjoining room. Skilled hands had evidantly been at work, for the table was burdened with everything tempting to the appetite. A glance uow and then at the participants was convincing enough that inviting refreshments were befo;:e them. It was the general verdict that the occasion was greatly enjoyed,, and the regret now that it a thing of the past is somewhat relieved by the hope of the scene being acted over several times in the same delightful home. Mr. Travlor and his bride left on the 15th inst. for their home near Benton, Alabama. They carry with them sincere wishes for future happiness from many warm friends. C. G. Bradford. Winnsboro, September 18,1884. NOT A CANDIDATE. Messrs. Editors: Will you permit me to say to my friend, the "Winnsboro correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, that I am not now, never have been, nor never expect to be, a candidate for any office whatever. I am the nominee of the "Independents" for Congress from the Fourth District, and this nomination was made after my most earnest protestations against the same, and in face of mv utter re fa=al to accept if nominated. But iswas charged with some truth that I did not have the courage of my convictions, and that it was mv duty, as one of the pioneers of the movement, to stand fire. I at last consented to leave it to my friends from Fairfield to accept or decline tor me as they thought * ' * r* .1 Desc. Alter consuiutuuu, uuey ueomeu it was my plain duty to accept, hence my name appears as a nominee for the Fourth District. My friend, the News and Courier correspondent, is again at fault, when he says that I ran for tbe Legislature in 1882, and was overwhelmingly defeated. The defeat or what is the same I admit, but that I ran for the office I most emphatically deny, - . . r V- - " I never ran for an office in my life: neither do I ever intend to. I was then as I am now, simply obeying orders. The chairman of the County Executive Committee said, "Your name must be used," aDd I consented, with thr> fnll knowledge that I would not be elected. I am well satisfied with the result of that election, as it proved that there were one hundred of my old friends and neighbors that still had confidence in me (that is the number the managers at Feasterville gave me), only thirteen less than Captain McMeefcin, who got one huudred and thirteen. Will you permit me to thank said correspondent for his frank, kind and" truthful words? Speaking of me, he says that "he is a mau of considerable intelligence, good personal character, but of limited education. In a normal condition of politics he could never be nominated for Congress." I quote the above from him. Now I ask him in all candor, can he truthfully say tne same 01 au the nominees of the Democracy of Faii-field. I thank God that my edncation is limited, and I also pray that I may ever, as now, have the utmost respe'ct for the rights of others, and tbat I shall ever award to them what I claim for myself?the right to think and speak tlieir honest convictions. He is also perfectly correct when he says that I was an active Democrat in 1876, president of one of the best clubs, etc., etc. He might have gone further back and said that I had been one of the few bitter opponents of Radicalism in this State, and I am so to-day?one that fonght with as many as two distinct party organizations before the name of Democrat was assumed. We had'first the Tax Unions, then the Conservatives, .then Green andDelany. And who then was our leader? Why, noble, true, honest John Yinson, who was.oar chairman; and to his credit be it said, as soon as the movement began to be popular, he got out of the way for one of the unlimited educated, * L ? ~ T 4-A /^A TTKam Tnrlnrkftn_ just Ub X CApct/li IV uv nuw xnuv/^/vu dentism becomes popular. We were charged by Chamberlain's friends then, just as the Independents are now, as representing nobody bat ourselves; bat we hung on with that bulldog tenacity that culminated in the glorious victory of 1876. I need say nothing of John Vinson's candidacy for school commissioner in 1878, only as.a reminder to my friend that Democracy as well as Republics are ungrateful. Before I would see our dear old State under carpet-bag rule again as it was prior to 1876, 1 would suffer my right arm cut off, if I Knew that was the only way to prevent it. I say this in all sincerity, and without one single mental reservation, and I wish it be distinctly understood that I do not do it for the purpose of currying favor with anyone, neither by way of apology, for I have not done one single act since ray severance from the Democra cy that I am ashamed of or tnat l wisn to apologize for, except, perhaps, some few personalities indulged irr in the heat of newspaper controversy, all of which I have acknowled and din heartily ashamed, and hereby make this my humble apology for the same. While a Democrat, I have, figuratively speaking, got down on my knees and begged the negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. Since I have been a Greenbacker, I have never said vote to the negro; neither do I intend to now. Of coarse I shall not object to their voting with us if they wish; neither will I object to Democrats voting with us, but shall tell them that I think it will be to their interest to do so. I am writing this in plain view and only an hour's ride from where I first saw the light. I expect to live and die an/3 Ka tcifh mv fathers. CkllU W\J kfUA AVU iv * I wish to do all the good I can and as little harm as possible, and I do not believe that there is one single honest man in the county or the State who knows me that believes that I would knowingly do anything that would injure one of its citizens, or that would bring reproach upon the good name of my native State. I do not come to you praying your mercy. I come, not as a suppliant, but come to you as the editor of my county pap6r (to which I have been a subscriber since I lived to myself twenty-eight years), and ask you to publish this article. It can do you no harm; it may possibly do you some good. I expect to be called Radical in disguise, traitor and many other uncanning names, but I expect I can stand it. I will say to those that ?re disposed to indulge in abjtsive epithets that a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar. Thine for the welfare aud prosperity of this our own, our native land, D. R. Feastee. From Hacon. In August, 1881, it was discovered that my son's wife was in the last stages of consumption. She was coucrhincr incessantly . and at times would discharge^uantities of pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the fell destroyer. Alter all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's Lung Restorer and began it m very small do?es, as she | was very weak. She soon began to improve; continued the remedy and was re- : stored to life and health, and is to-day bet- 1 ter than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, , for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. R. W. Bo>*xek, Macon, Ga.

The following is ME. JOHN PEARSON'S STATEMENT. In the spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak ; that I could not get about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to ] grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it riglit away. After taking two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle 1 was able to get on my feet again. I am now' in -excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Re.TV*ir ot?r? mrr nAlflrfalvirC OTP 0<l V tu XU.J inc. OUU JI*ij ??v of the same opinion. It is the Dest Lnng Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. F. Hearnond.; Early in November, 1881, while sewing j! on the machine, my wife was taken with a j severe pain in her side, which was soon i followed by hemorrhages, from her lungs and. a severe cough. Fever commenced, j' she could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few j weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton, h T < Attending physician told me that he ! thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. | She could not retain the most delicate I nourishment on her stomach. I then j agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physi-: cian, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation, j, They made a final examination of the : J patient and pronounced the case hopeless.1 Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's j Lung Restorer as a last resort. I sent for a j bottle and gave her a dose. I found that1 she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe that Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown."
