attorney making this assertion before,

just one-half of the stolen hog from :

History of the Countt.?Mr. William
Ederinglon, of Feastervillc, is
now engaged in writing a history of
Fairfield county, which he hopes soon

' 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

The Jewish New Year.? 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

and appropriately dressed and were
well-trained dancers. The gentlemen,

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
On Tuesday morniDg last the case
of J. M. Eirkland vs. W. J. Hsrron
and Charles MacVeagh wis tried and
disposed of. 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

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

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.

The gentleman -who outlines his case

life, and is noted for his sterling integrity.

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."
