The Ceosby Institute.?Aw adver- j tisement of this very excellent, institntion appears In to-day's issne of The News and Herald, and we hope that" our readers will give it a carefnl perusal. The term3 are liberal enough for a sehool of its grade, and it merits the patronage of all lovers of thorough and progressive education in that as well as other sections of the county and State. Prof. B. Busby is still in charge of this institution, and he has a record as an educator of an enviable character. Professor Busby recently _* gradu^ed with distinction at the Commercial College of the Kentucky Uni versity at Lexington, Ky., and in his management of the Crosby Institute he will keep thoroughly abreast of the times. t Work of the Gin.?Mr. William Guess, a young white man, suffered a very painfal accident on Wednesday aggjgcggf'.w'.c.t" ~--~ -r-. < /'. * S \ ^ * / I last by getting his hand very severely f cut in a gin on Mr. D.

Walker's "Weston Place" near towru The unfortunate man was at the time of the accident feeding the gin, and having a rag tied upon a sore finger, it was caught by the saws of the gin and the hand drawn in and badly mutilated. Dr. E. W. Aiken, the physician called to attend him, found it necessary to amputate one ox his fingers at the first joint. The other wounds upon the hand were carefully sewed and dressed but it will be of no use to him in the iuluic. .^luuluulild VI u1 125 umiauici arc becoming more frequent every season, and all of ns will hail with delight the gin without the cruel saws. Bishop's Visitation.?As already stated, the Right Rev. W. B. W. Howe, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in South .Carolina, made his annual visitation to St. John's Church, at this place, on Sunday last. Ser vices were held both in the morning and at night, the Bishop on each occa- t sion preaching a very fine sermon. After the morning service the sacrement of the Holy Communion was administered. The congregations, at both the morning and the evening services," were large and attentive. The music was rendered by a choir of volunteers, organized for the occasion, and was throughout most excellent.

The opeuing is a careful study, by the Kev. Geo. T. Rider, of the Universtiy system of education as illustrated in the English Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

J < A Badical Ticket.-On Saturday afternoon a colored man not known to the editor then in charge came to the office of The News and Herald and inquired what would be the charge for 'inserting a nomination. He was told that it would cost just five dollars, cash down. He said he'd send the money in a few days. Thereupon a little talk ensued, in which it was developed that the colored visitor was the Reverend J. C. Coleman, toe nominee of the Radical party for Senator from this county. He said tb^re had been nominations for the House also, but the names of the candidates could not be pumped out of him. These nominations; it seems, were made here on Saturday. Coleman seems to be a negro of about ordinary intelligence, A n%n^mAnnAWAi? fjallAW r-uu lO a VCl^ UillUwUiikiIU^A iViiw TT He says he is a Baptist preacher, and professes lots of love for the white folks. Sach being the case it is very remarkable that he should be so prominent in a movement that can do nothing bnt disturb pleasant, relations now existing- between the races in this county. He ts unfit to go to the Senate, and- he knows it. If he doesn't know it, he is all the more fool for that. Ho does not seem to be a bad fellow, and we hope he will soon see the folly of his present conrse, repent of it, and have nothing to- do with the Radical carcass in Fairfield. Then he will be in a fit frame of mind to do as all good citizens mean to do?vote for Major "Woodward to go to the Senate! ?All persons owing us for guanos are earnestly requested to settle by the loth of October, and are notified that the cotton option expires on that day. * Stewart & Center. Deaths .?Mrs. Anna R. Scroggs, wife of Mr. Thomas W. Scrnggs, of this county, died at her home, about eight miles from Winnsboro, on Tuesday morning last, of typhoid fever. Mrs. Scruggs had been confined to her bed witn this leanal disease for nearly three weeks, and though her death was not wholly unexpected, yet it was none the less a very sad one and a severe shock to the surviving members of her family. The deceased left behind her two little children and an -affectionate husband to mourn her death and do honor to ?er memory. nn tv> nr?r? avaa! Innf a* liau inaiijr ui, traits of character and had many warm friends among her acqnaintanees, all of whom will regret to learn of her death. "We are in possession of information of a private character that Mr. S. Lunsford Harrison, of Texas, died at his resirinnnp in Sfatf* on fhfi 3rd day of September lasi, of congestion of the brain. Mr. Harrison's health had been good for a number of months prior to his disease a::d his death was consequently a shock to his family and friends. Mr. Harrison was at the time of his death successfully engaged in farmingin his adopted State, and was a useful citizen, kind father, devoted husband and a consistent member of the Baptist church. The deceased was a native of Fairfield county, having removed from this State abont ten vears aco. He had manv warm friends both in this and in Chester county, and all of them will sincerely regret to learn of his untimely death. Mr. Harrison was about thirty-two years of age, and left a wife and five children. Nominations ok Not??It is now currently reported that the Republican County Convention, in session in this place on Saturday, the 11th inst., made nominations for all the county offices. It is said that Israel Byrd was namjnflfa/l f-vf cfoffl qnnn io ott/? XlViliillUk^U XV* 4.UV UUIrkV tw'UWUiv MHV4 that other nominations were made, but the names of the nominees have noi been given to the public. We cannot vouch for the truth of this rumor, but there is considerable evidence sup-" porting it, and it is very likely that such secret action was taken by that body. If it bo trne that nominations were made and that the whole matter is enveloped in this veil of secrecy, then it means that a still hupt will be made in this county and that the Republicans intend to light every inch of ground. Matters of sacli political significance should not be passed by nn- j heeded or unnoticed by the County Executive Committee. The acts and doings and the genera! conduct of onr political enemies should be watched, and zealously too, ami this can only be done under the management and auspices of the official heads of the party.. Wc would suggest, therefore, that the county chairman forthwith call together the Executive Committee to discuss the situation and to take such action iu the premises as the Executive Committee may in its wisdom and judgment dictate. The election is near at hand now, scarcely three weeks off", and no stone should be left unturned to poll a full Demccratic vote and to keep down the open and secret enemies of the government and the people. Very little time would be consumed in carrying iuto effect the suggestion made, and much may be saved by it. High or Low Taxes.?It is a no ticeable fact that taxpayers in this county arc grumbling more than usual about high taxes this year, and almost every man you meet says "my taxes are higher this year thau last and I cannot account for it." We beard one gentleman say, "I am now paying more taxes to the government than I did under the Radical administration." These complaints are of a .serious character, and should be attended to at once. It is true that the taxes paid daring ine iau raontos vi mm year are higher than the taxes of last yearhigher by one mill; but the increase can be-satisfactorily explained and the complainauts, we hope, will pay due regard to the explanation. Threefonrths of the one mill increase was imposed by special act of the Legislature and at the suggestion and petition of the Board of County Commissioners. ? 9? A J.J Ine tempor ;ry increase was luienueu.i to enable the county to "catch up", so to speak, and to transact its business on a cash basis. So it will be seen that this increase is to last but a year, and then the county will be financially upon souud bottom. . This action, we contend, will prove to be real economy in the end. All business men will agree with us in saying that the affairs of the county, under the cash system, will be attended to with much less expense to the county, than under the credit system. This proposition needs 110 proof at our hands, and this should be explanation tmoagb for fair minded men as to the three-quarters of a jnilL increase. Tlje remaining one-qnarter was imposed by authority of the Legislature and it is sufficient to say that it was necessary to meet the exigencies of the State government. The sum. total of taxes now being collected for State and county purposes foots up 105 mills, while under the Radical administration it ranged from 12 to 17 mills. If gentlemen claim that their taxes are higher now than under Radical rule they must be either mistaken or must now return more property. The facts and figures will show that taxes are as low in South Carolina as any State in the Union! A jtsac Law. The Chester correspondent of the News and Courier gives an interesting account of a decision of Judge Cothran in that town a few days ago, on the sale of liquor in Chested. The correspondent w rites: The indictmcnt against Ben David, Charles Whitters and William Yorn, for selling liquor in the corporate limits of the town of Chester without license, was called trial in the Court of General Sessions on the 15th inst. major o. sr. namuton, conusei fur the defendants, moved to quash the indictments on the ground that by Section 1,749 of the General Statutes, the town of Chester was excepted from the general provisions of Section 1,731. ^Solicitor Gtsion made a close aDd able argument to show that the Act of 1880 was not repealed by chapter 55 of the General Statutes. Judge Cothran sustained the motion of Major Hamilton and quashed the indictment in all the cases. This allows the sale of liquor in the town of Chester without restriction, and without yielding any revenue to. the town. Such is the result of party legislation on the part of our lawmakers and of zeal without knowledge on the part of our temperance people. It is a matter of some difficulty to explain, from the above upon what grounds Judge Cothran held the law to be ineffectual. Section 1,731 reads: "No license for the sale of spirituous or intoxicating liquors shall be granted i: South Carolina outside of the incorporated cities, towns and villages of this State; and it shall be unlawful ' 7"-v' j for any person or persons to sell snch liquors without a license so td do." | Snction 1,749 reads: ''This chapter | shall not apply to any city, town or village in which the sale of ardent ! spirits is now or shall hereafter be : prohibited by legislative enactment." j 'Hie important section of the Act ! relating to the sale of liquors in Ches! ter reads: "That irom and after the j passage or this Act, no license for the sale of spiritnons or intoxicating liquors shall be granted by the municipal authorities of the town of Chester in Chester." Section 2 says: "That ! nnv nerson violating any of the provi j ----V ?r " j sions of this Act shall, upon conviction, be fined," etc., etc. Now it might have been argued (and doubtless it was upon this ground the decision of the Court turned) that Chester under the force and operation of Section 1,749 was, by the A.ct of 1880 above quoted, excepted from the operations of Section 1,731. And that after the passage of the Act for Ches/"IQCCA ;* Trroe nft lnnoror nnlawflll ICI J ib Utw uv ivugVk . to sell liquors "without a license so to do." It will have been observed upon a careful reading of the special act for Chester that the prohibition is merely .npon the municipal authori<^fe of the town, and that the penalty for its violation in Section 2 of that Act can refer only to the municipal authorities. The Act is defective in that the sale of spirituous liquors is not declared unlawful by the provisions of the Act, i onrl 'Total Aafarti- i>1e?rlr annpars <11 ill t2ig VIVAVVV v?j- j,? from a careful reading of the entire Act. We hope to hear something more definite and anthoritative about this interesting case. SCHOOL COMMISSIONER'S JIEPORT. A Recital of His Official Acts for the Past Year-The Condition of the Schools. TV John "Rnv^ the School Com mis sioner, has forwarded to Col. A. Coward, the State Superintendent of^ Education, his official report for the scholastic year just ended. His report i is well and neatly gotten np and contains much that is interesting to the people of the county. The following i extracts culled from, it will interest pareuts and taxpayers. He says: 1. Daring the past year we have held teachers' associations regularly, I which we thiuk have a tendency to make teachers more interested in. their work, and at the same lime instructive and edifying. It is, however, a difficult mater to get the male teachers to attend and take much interest in these meetings, from the fact that too manymake teaching only a stepping stone to some other profession. 2. We held a Couuty Normal Institute during the summer for the whites. In consequence of the continned spell of wet weather previous to the meeting of the Institute, dnring which nothing conld be done on tfie farms, and the spell of beautiiai weatner at the time the meeting was held requiring all the stock the farmers could command, the number in attendance was not as large as we -would like to have seen, or as the occasion demanded, yet we had qaite a respectable number of teachers, and a goodly number of citizens. Those present appeared to take a great interest and the Institute was pronounced by all a success. 3. The County Board expected to have held one for the colored teachers, but at the time it was difficult to secure the services of instructors, so we concluded to hold one for their benefit the a xi | coming' year, ana give tneiu a iougcr i time, so as to make up for the failure ' the present year. With this explanation and promise they appeared -well satisfied. 4. The school year runs from the 1st I November to Noyomber, excepting the school districts which have graded schools. They run fsom September to September. 5. We wouM again respectfully suggest that the Chairman of the Board of School Trustees be remunerated for services rendered?at least for the days actually employed. It is a difficult matter to find one these days sufficiently patriotic to neglect his private bnsi ues's to attend to public duties when he knows he is to receive nothing for. said services. 6. If the salaries of the Commissioners were sufficient to justify them in attending to the duties assigned to the trustees, we think this work would be better attended to. In this county we cannot complain of the trustees, for they certainly attend to their duties much bettgy than we have reason to expect under the-ciisajnstai^cs. 7. We have now WeRtS?.n_school! district? in our county. Thre8-v?f these have a local tax, two others will] levy a local tax the coming year, and in several localities the salaries of teachers will be supplemented. We! hope, therefore, to run the schools longer another year. The attendance has been increased considerably the present year, and the people becoming more interested in the cause of education. Considerable opposition in certain sections still exists against the use of the local taxes being given to the educating of the colored people. 8. It will take at least twelve or thirteen thousand dollars to run the schools in Fairfield the coming yearsay thirteenJJhpusand. THE BAJPTIST ASSOCIATION* Messrs. Editors: Taking it for granted that the readers of your valuable paper would not objcct to reading an account of the meeting of the Fairfield Baptist Association, we have conclod ed to give you a brief account of the same. At the appointed hour, on Thursday morning, the 9th inst., the Association met with Htfrmah church, located near Simpson's Turnout. Early in the day delegates and visitors might be seen wending their way to the church. The body was called to order by the Modorftfnv AftorthA sinorino- nf a hrmn. and prayer, the roll of the churches composing the Association (churches from Kershaw, Richland and Fairfield) was called, and the names of delegates were enrolled. The rules of order were read by the secretary and the body organized by the re-election of H. A. Glenn as Moderator, Dr. John Boyd secretary, apd Dr. J. R. Arledge treasurer. The Moderator extended an invitation to visiting brethren and messengers from corresponding bodies to take seats with and participate in the deliberations of the body. The invitation was accepted by Dr. Manly, president of Fo| lan University, the Rev. R. H. GrSitb, corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Convention, Col. James A. fioyt, senior editor of the JBaptist Courier, > and C. A. Abell, Esq., of the Chester Association. At the appointed hour the introdcctory sermon was preached by the Rev. B. F. Corley, after which a recess of an hour was taken, when the crowd assembled around a table made for the nwci'nn nhinh n-mfliiwl nnilftr the VVVMOlVLIj |T 1UVU VMMVX ? ?TXV. weight of the many nicc things prepared by the good housewives of this section. To look at the table one would not suppose rations were scarce in this part of the country. The inner man well satisfied, the body reconvened and proceeded to business. The letters from the different churches were read by two brethren appointed by-fche Moderator, after which diflerent questions were discussed until the hour for adjournment, when, on motion and after prayer, the body adjourned to meet again on Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Pursuant to adjournment the body met on Friday morning and was called to order by the Moderator. After the singing of a hymn, and prayer, business was resumed. The roll was called and the committee on education, the Kev. "W. C. Lindsay, chaitfman, offered their report, after the adoption of which Dr. Manly addressed the Association in behalf of Furman University. A recess of an hour was now given, and as on the previous day all were invited to partake of the nice things which the fair ones, ever thoughtful of the wants of man, had prepared and nicely arranged on, the table. HaviDg attended to the inner man, the body reconvened and proceeded to business. The various commilfoDo tcot?o ontirtnnfPil mattfirS tu&vvvvg n viv in which the churches were interested attended to, when on motion and after prayer the body adjourned to meet again on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The Association met at the appointed time, and was opened with singing and prayer. The roll ;was called, and the various committees through their chairmen presented their reports. The committee on. State missions reported, which brought forth quite an earnest, interesting and instructive address from the Rev. Mr. Griffith on the importance of State missions, and the [ dufcv of the Baptists throughout the ! State to see to it that funds are raised j to carry out this very important work. I Col. Hoyt now presented the claims of the Baptist Courier.r\ Several ques| tions were discussed until the honr for adjournment arrived, when on motion I and after prayer, the body adjourned to meet again after service on Sunday ; morning. At 10 o'clock on Sunday the Sunday School was addressed by Franklin SmitK TTo/i nf Pi/>hlori>1 anil fhA T?w. | VUUiUj y VA AViVUAUUUj ?*MV4 VMV A?VT * Mr. Yann. The Sunday School at this church is not large, bnt we venture the assertion that a more punctual, attend tive and interesting one cannot -fee found at any country church in the county. At the appointed hour the ; missionary sermon was 'preached by the Rev. C. G. Bradford to cne of the largest and, we think, most attentive congregations we have ever seen at one of our country churches. "We were pleased to see s.o many of our friends from the Boro. "Wc are not a very close observer, but from what we saw we wonld not be surprised, if the B. P. U. should lose one of its members some of these days. What say you, friepd ? Rest assured you havfc onr best wishes for your success, and if we were entitled to a vote you would certainly be elected.". Too much "praise cannot be awarded to the members of the Ladies' Sewing Society, for to them are we indebted for the new pulpit, nicely cushioned, upon which mav be seen a nice Bible and hymn-book, with two fine lamps, supported by six side lamps with rejectors, and two suspended in the centre of tbe church. Last, though I not least, there is a handsome commu! nion set, all tbe handiwork of the fair I ones who constitute the Ladiesi Sewing Society of this community. God bless the ladies! x. y. z.
