A field of cotton in the low-1 lands was a few mornings since killed j effectually by the frost. Right in the j centre of the field a spot of green cot- j ton was left wholly uninjured and un- j affected by the frost. The spot is j about three feet in diameter and the i sudden change from "the dead to the living stalks is noticeable on the most I casual glance. The cotton, he says, is ot tiie same Kina, quality anujsizc ana the character of the soil apparently the same all over the entire Held. Who can explain this partiality of Nature? ?All persons owing- us for guanos are earnestly requested to settle by the loth of October, and are notified that the cotton option expires 01: that day. * Stewart & Center . A Second Crop.?Mr. "W. D. Romedy brought to this office several days ago, some fine specimens of second crop, June apples.

The Teachers' Association.?We ask especial attention to the advertise- J meat of the meeting of the Fairfield j Teachers' Association, published in J another column. It is especially 'requested that every teacher who can, shall attend punctually at the hour named for the meeting. ?Winburn, the celebrated traveling photographer of the South, will be in j Winnsboro on the 6th of October, j This will be the finest opportunity ever offered to the people of Fairfield to fret first class oictnres. * - - 0 - J, Take Notice.?All parties owing- us for guanos must settle on or before the loth of October as the cotton option expires on that day. Alter the loth they will have to pay the money value of their notes. * R. J. McCaklev & Co. Personal.?The Misses Bell, of Hazlewood, Chester county, are now in town visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Bricc, of the New Hope section of the county, are visiting in the family of the Rev. John T. Chalmers. Miss Mary Green, of Magnolia, Sumter count}*, is visiting at -Mr. W. B. Creight's. * Law Books Burned.?The Edgefield Advertiser, speaking of the recent fire in that place, says: "Almost the whole of Col. "VV. H. Addison's valusbie law library, in the office of his brother," John L. Addison, Esq., was destroyed by the fire?uninsured. Thn r*r Tinrfc of Senator Butler's w 0. r - law books were also consumed. His office was iu Mr. Jno. L. Addison's building." The Chester Fair.?We are indebted to Mr. J. K. Henry for a complimentary ticket to the Sixth Annual Fair of Chester, York, Fairfield and Lancaster counties. The Fair opened on the 28th inst. and closes on the 31st. This Fair promises to be very enjoyableand unusually successful. Already a large number of exhibits have been sent in and all the four counties " C1JL i^ivoguiw* J. IfcXA &AWV4 VA" pects to be tvell represented at Chester on the days set apart for the Fair. The Managers.?There was an important joint meeting of the State and Federal commissioners of election for this county on Wednesday morning. At this meeting the managers of election, both State and Federal, for the various ^voting precincts over the county were appointed. The names of the appointed managers will appear elsewhere in these columns. The appointments by both boards were wiselv and indicionslv made, and we hoDe that none of these gentlemen will decline to serve. Mount Ziox.?Now thai Mount Zion College is fairly on the highway of prosperity, with an excellent corps of ' teachers and a full roll ofj)romising pupils, would it not be well for the patrons of this institution and the good citizens of "Wiuusboro to take some steps looking towards the erection of a new building, or at least making the necessary repairs upon the old building. The matter is now being ; agitated among gentlemen in town, : ana it is to dg earnestly nopeu mat it will take shape in some definite action. We have of late received inquiries from a distance about the terms in this institution, and there is every indication that if the Mount Zion buildings arc made to be as good as the College is in every other particular that it will draw large support from other counties.

J ate, the Republicans have placed in , field for the .Representatives Abram "Washington, Man roe Henderson and Jackson "Woods. The nominees, both / --IV. f . _ i _ 1 IT ^11 ?At, | ior tne cemuc aim uou.-:u, arc an gentlemen of color, :;nd would no doubt j ^in their own mind-) make fearless j representatives of the "dear people." j Investigation into the matter of these I nominations leads to the belief thatj the Republican convention, in session I here last Saturday, had nothing" to do ! with this ticket, and that it was either j a street affair^or that the men nominated themselves for the olfices named, i TTowovnv flip of the nomina tion of these insignificant negroes to offices, is a subject of trifling moment to the white people. The gentlemen | nominated by the Democratic party, in the primary election in September, will ! be elected, and the liadicals might as i well "accept the situation" gracefully I and without a murmur. Electoral Bulletins.?Gentlemen j . ! in charge of the Western Union and J Southern Telegraph offices, in this place, arc now engaged in getting subscriptions for the purpose of having bulletins on the day of the election, November ith, and the night following the election. A certain amount must be raised, before either of these compa' i nies will bulletin the returns and the demand for the trouble, and expenses incident to it is not unreasonable or improper. We earnestly hope that the citizens of Winnsboro will give libernllr to this end. and secure tor the place and its people the latest news on the day and night of the election. It would le well, we think, lor contributions to be given to both of thoe companies, and in this way, procure two bulletins. Better, and more accurate accounts, will certainly be obtained, from these two sources combined, than from either one of them singly. We trust that sufficient sums, will be realized, in the manner alluded to, and that Winnsbaro will have her two election bulletins, on the day and night of the 4th of November next. Who Shall Vote??The election rlflv is npfli* nl hand now and this ones tion is one of moment and importance. Every male citizen of the full age of twenty-one years, who has not been convicted of one of the infamous crimes enumerated in the Statute relating to this matter, and who has a certificate of registration, shall be entitled to vote at the election, both State and Federal. Wc trust that every Democrat will have his certificate on election day just where he can lay his hand on it, and march up to the polls, show his certificate and deposit his ballots. The managers cannot be censured if voters are denied the privilege of voting, because lbrsooth they have through carelessness lost their certificates and fail to gel new ones. The Fairfield Democracy must poll its full vote on November 4, and no stone should be left unturned to bring every voter to the polls and have him vote the straight Democratic ticket from the Presidential nominee down to the party candidate for coro ner. Thk Riciit to Vote.?1The Lexington Dispatch s ays: Young men whose birthday occurs 011 November 5 and whose twenty-first birthday occurs this year can vote in the election on the 4th of November. Bouvier lays down this rule and cites Blackstoneand several judicial authorities in support of it: "The full age of twenty-one years is held to be completed on the day preceding the twenty-first anniversary of birth." According to this, a person born November 5, twenty-one years ago, will be of voting age on November 4, this year. This appears to be strange law indeed, but it is recognized law. In Kent's Commentaries, vol. 2, page 243, we find the following: "The age of twenty-one is the period of majority for both sexes, according to the English common law, and that age is completed on the beginning of the day preceding the anniversary of the person's birth." Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. ?There are three articles in the November number which render it one of the most interesting yet issued. "Money Panics," by Richard B. Kimball, LL.

There are, also, the usual variety of choice reading matter in the 126 quarto pages, and the embellishments number over 100. This is unquestionably the cheapest magazine iu existence?the price is only twenty-five cents a number, or $2.50 a year, post-paid. Address Mrs. Frank Leslie, Publisher, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. A Word for the Doctors.?Would it not be the proper and right thing for the the General Assembly at its next session to make some provision for securing the claims of doctors for professional services? Why not give to them a lien on the crop for a certain amount not to exceed a maximum figure to be fixed by law, and at least give to this fraternity the same chancei of living now guaranteed to the merchants, the farmers and the laborers. The following is the text of the Louisiana law upon this subject, and its provisions, if incorporated in our law, would secure the just claims of our doctors, and in their operations would do neither harm nor injustice to any VI VI yJKXl l/wpic. JLXIU Louisiana statute reads: An Act entitled an Act to give physicians legally authorized to practice their profession a lien' and privilege for medical services rendered to any person on the crop of said person, making said lien and privilege concurrent in rank with the lien and privilege now given by law in favor of the purchaser of supplies necessary to enable; said person to cultivate and make his crop and to limit the amount of sfdd physician's lien and privilege. Section 1. Be it enacted by the fe \ t \ ~ General Assembly of Louisiana, that j physicians legally authorized to practice their professions shall have alien and privilege for medical services rendered to anv person on the crop of said person. And said lien and privilege shall be concurrent in rank with the lien and privilege now given by | law in favor of the purchaser of supI plies necessary to enable said person ! to cultivate and make his crop; if the j debtor is a laborer his physician or his i transferee and subrogee "shall have a privilege to be enforced upon his ; wages or his interest in the crop which i he may be entitled to receivc in lieu j thereof. ! Skc. 2. Be it further enacted, etc., j that the amount of said physician's i lien and privilege shall not exceed the j sum of fifteen dollars for anyone year. I Sec. 3. Be it further, etc., that all I laws or parts of laws in conflict with ; this Act be and the same are repealed. Death of Colonel John H. Evins. The sad intelligence has been receiv| ed here of the sndden death of Colonel ! John II. Evins, at his home, in SparI tan burg, on the morning of the 20th inst. A Spartanburg correspondent writes: For a long time he has been suffering from Bright's disease, complicated with heart affections. He did not hope to recover, but the end came more sudJ 1 An'V\A/>f W hi Ia IILT11J V UJilU niii it unv u????. ing with friends he fell asleep and passed away without a struggle. Thus died one of the noblest men South Carolina ever produced. Colonel Evins had many warm friends in Winnsboro and Fairfield, and all of them will bear testimony to his abilityfhis solid worth and exalted character, and here in Fairfield, his death will be sincerely regretted, and his eminent public services to the Slate, as well as to the District, properly and fully appreciated. John II. Evins was born in Spartanburg District, (now county,) South Carolina, July IS, 1830; entered South Carolina College in December, 1850, and graduated in 1S53; studied law, and was admitted to practice in 1859; was an officer in the Confederate service, serving first as a First Lieutenant in the Fifth South Carolina Regiment, and afterward as a Captain in the Palmetto Sharpshooters; was wounded, aud being disabled from active service in the field was appointed Lieutenant Colonel, and assigned to duty in his own State; was a member of "the Legislature of South Carolina for two terms; was a member of the National Convention at St. Louis in 1879; was clected to the Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Congresses and was re-elected to the Forty-eight Congress as a "Democrat, receiving 11,672 votes against 4,488 votes for R. R. Elkins, the Greenback candidate. NOTES FROM MOXTICELLO. Moxtjcello, S. C., October 23.? Well, Messrs. Editors, another miserable crop year is rapidly drawing to a close, and farmers are busily engaged in putting cotton in the hands of merchants for supplies advanced. Year after year the same sad tale is told? wc owe so much that there'll be nothing for us at the end of the year. "We read a great deal of gush and gas about the increased prosperity of the country, published in the periodicals of the day. On calculations based on these * ' ' " - ~ t ' T unsuustantiai iounaauons our juegisiature gradually increases the taxes which have to be paid, thns adding another feather to the ever-increasing load. It is true that 103 mills is a very insignificant amount, aud it is less than the tax paid under the Radical regime, but it is only a cent and a quarter less than the old tax, and if little is added year by year, it will soon put the taxes up to former rates. That our taxes are not as heavy now op T?oflir?al rnlo thnt tVir?v will ttO UliUVi. JLiUlUXUMA A U.?VJ vuw.1, kMvj If*.. compare favorably with those of other States, is not the question. Are we able to bear the present rate and a possible increase? is the question which should be asked when a tax is to be imposed. Rich and poor are assessed alike, but it falls heavier in the end upon the poor men. "We do not propose to raise a howl of over-taxation, 011 this side of the county, but would have our Solons remember that there's truth in the old rhyme? "Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean and the wondrous land." " ^ xt is ciaimeti tutu sjucuusc >vu iuisc more cotton now than formerly we mnst be prosperous, and as the lien system enables us to raise more cotto? aud to do a larger business, the lien system must necessarily be a good one. But as we increase the quantity of cotton raised we increase our expenses, and when settling up day comes we find that we have simply swapped our cottcn crop for our year's supplies?perhaps with a good balance against us. This increase in the size of the business transaction is not very strong evidence of growing wealth on the part of the farmer since he has no 'it XI 1 more capital inau ne siarteu wirn in the beginning. Politics since the primary have died out, and there is little interest evinced in the approaching election, though we will doubtless poll the full vote on the 4th of November. This lack of interest is no doubt due to the necessary reaction which was bound to follow the excitement of the primary canvass. In my humble opinion the wisdom of stirring up enthusiasm in behalf of opposing candidates, as is done in a primary canvass, is at least questionable. The energies of the voters are exhausted in behalf of their favorites within the partv, and they have no energy icic 10 witusiana mc enemy? much less to carry on, as we should, an aggressive campaign. The negroes seem to be very quiet, and if any work is going on among them it is being doiie by men who are not much on the stump "but are, like one of Fairfield's most favored sons, good ground workers. It is reported that our Fairfield renegade has again visited his old haunts and that in the dim religious light of the Dark Corner he has been holding puilliuui d'GU/tucd auu hot and old lies upon the poor dupes who follow the Greenback flag. Some sacrilegious wretch entered the Methodist church at this place during the past week aud removed the lamps from the chandeliers. Not content with stealing in and from the church, he used the "Bible as a stepping-stone to accomplish his unholy purpose. Being small of stature, evidently he could not reach the lamps, so he stood upon the Bible, which is always left in the pulpit, to make up for his deficiency in height. We have had slight frosts and a little rain?not sufficient rain to enable farmers to sow grain. a, t. NEW GOODS, arriving daily. J. M. BEATY. \ \ i v ;; ' v Sunday in "Yirsinny." A writer in Macmillan's Magazine says: Many of the characteristics of the Virginian, and of those neighboring states of whom he is typical, savor of the Duritan rather than of the rol licking cavalier. Its episcopal church is evangelical, even to contempt, as regards forms. I have seen the bishop ?' Virginia hold a confirmation in a country church attired in a frock coat, stand-up collar, and a black tie fastened in a sailor's knot. The feeling of the majority of the diocese is quite in sympathy. "The behavior of the younger portion of the congregations in country churches is so extraordinary as to argue rather a complete failure to appreciate their position than willful irreverence. The blessing is hardly liiix^jLicu. ?ucii tno xauico, juuu^ uuu old, fall into one another's arms; the men relapse into corn and tobacco, and the inside of the church assumes the appearance of an animated social gathering. That a few of these buildings, even those erected in country neighborhoods that at the time were wealthy, have anything in their external appearance to mark their ecclesiastical character is not unnatural in a country where architects and mechanics proper had no existence, and where nothing approaching to art was known. Imagine ono of tho old-fashioned, oblong, red brick methodist chapels of a small English countrytown dropped down in a grove of trees oy tne roadside, ana you nave a iair idea of the average country meeting house of the southern episcopalian. If service is going on you will see forty or fifty saddle horses hitched up in the shade of the oak trees, a dozen or so of conveyances of every description? buggies, spring wagons, and cumbrous old-rashioned family coaches, spattered with mud and venerable in appearance with black-coated negroes snoozing upon the box.

The Talc of a San Francisco Cat, In the store of' Castle Brothers, on Front street; was a cat This cat is death on rats and such small deer, and is, therefore, treated with distinguished consideration by the proprietors and their employes. When the cat came into the office one morning with a very melancholy look on her face, and mourniuuy cnea as 11 in aecp aistress, the human brotherhood were much disturbed. The bookkeeper determined to follow her and see what was the matter, and she led him to where some boxes were overturned. Upon lifting them up he discovered three small kittens crushed beneath them and dying. The cat saw them die, and after mourning their untimely fate, she went about her usual avocation of eliminating the rodent. In a few weeks she appeared in the office looking more lachrymose than ever, and her plaintive cries again awoke the echoes of the store. This time less time was wasted on blandishments, and the bookkeeper followed her again. She took him np stairs and to the furthest corner of the store and mounting some extra boxes, drew his attention by scratching and mewing to the fact that one empty box, at the oottom of which was a lot of old matting, was full of loose boards standing on edge, which interfered with her comfort. He removed the boards and she thanked him by rubbing herself against him and purring. The next day there were some soft, fat little kittens in her box.

How to Get a Start. "It requires quite a long timo for a man to get a start in the world," said an old fellow, "but some of the most colossal fortunes have been built on loans advanced by friends. When I married I had to borrow money with which to pay for my license. That was shortly before I came to this town." "I suppose you are well situated now." remarked a bvstander. ' "Hardly as well as I might be; still, if business should be prosperous this year, I think that by close economy I can refund the money which I borrowed to pay for my license."?Arkansaw Traveler. Joaquin Miller is anxious to have all kinds of tools put on the list of studies in the nublic schools. This is what converted him: "I attended court the other day," he says, "in a civil case, and the young lawyer provoked the contempt of all present by his ignorance of the simplest priciples of mechanical industry. Think of a young lawyer leaning back and asking the witness to exn::uu to the jury, 'what is a ]ack-plar It cost him his case. Of course Lhe fellow was a fool, and would nrobablv have lost it anvwav. _ i" ?r ^ or But you can clearly see how much better it would be for a lawyer, every professional man indeed, to know about all mechanics, if that knowledge could be carried on as a sort of healthful exercise during his school days." The following, from the Philadelphia Bulletin, is something for the young man to consider dnring the heated term: "There are plenty of people who declare *^at the best thing a young man can do is to marry and settle down in earnest to domestic life, and there are others who declare with the same emphasis that the opposite course is the correct one to pursue. Giving both sides of the argument proper weight, the choice is left with the young man. One who can give his wife a home, no matter how modest it may be, no doubt is justified in taking a partner for life, but it does seem to be the utmost folly for a young man to take a girl away from home of her parents and subject her to discomforts which she must bear uncomplainingly for love's sake. This thing is a more uuuumuu uucuitcjlluv; inaii tut? inudu peop*e imagine, and it accounts for about one-half the misery of the world. Elegance and wealth are not indispenable to the happiness of sensible people, but a certain amount of provision must be made."
