The Band.?The Winnsboro Cornet Band came out on "Wednesday evening and played a number of pieces in honor o? the inauguration of President Cleveland. Peace Bonds.?Several parties have been bound over of late to keep the peace. There seems to be a disposition among certain individuals to conduct a military campaign on a small scale. New Doctors.?Among the graduates of the South Caroliua Medical College at the reccnt commencement v;as Mr. James E. Douglass, of Al bion, in this county. Dr. Douglass is a son of Dr. T. G. Douglass, and will k practice in this county. Vagrancy.?At the recent term of ^ the Court of General Sessions for Lau|p^caster county a young native white Sgg* man was convicted of vagi'ancy. It is said that he is descended from respectablo parentage. It is a rare circnmstance that a white man figures as a criminal in this county. Personal.?Misses Glenn and Allison, of Yorkville, who have been spending some time wnn reiauuns in town, left on Saturday for home. Their departure occasions much regret among their friends here, old and new, and it is hoped that they may find it convenient soon, to visit the "Boro" again. In* Court.?In the trial justice court on Thursday the case of the State vs. Jim raoer, cnargeu witn ootaimng goods under false preteuces, was The evidence adduced by the Jon was not sufficient to sus ??a???a??ta??i ' closed id- ease. the Conrfc avoided the calamity of arguments from counsel! , by allowing the accused "to go hence ' | without day." j To Litigaxts.?To parties who are J anxiously awaiting the decision of the j i Circuit Judge in cruises heard at the i ! recent term of Court in which they are i j interested, we may say that they will i j probably not hear the result for some j time to come. The law allows to the j Circuit Judge sixty days in which to ! lile his decisions and it is no more than ; j just to litigants as well as to himself j that he should take advantage of this i provision. Death.?We regret to learn of the j sudden death of Mr. Gasawav Fow-1 le.i. who resided near Alston, in this ! county. lie was stricken with paraly- j sis on Sunday, the 20th ult., and died ' on the following Monday. Mr. Fow-J ler served throughout the late war and ! was universally regarded by his com-! rades as an excellent soldier. lie | leaves a wife and a large family of; children to mourn his loss. Peace to I liic ...o ^ I A Coi.oued Man on Cleveland.? j An intelligent colored man, a citizen of this county, pays a tribute to the ! inaugural address of Mr. Cleveland.!

"If," says j hr> "fhp Dpmnrrfttif. mrtv share the i sentiments of the Chief Executive and ! are willing to carry out the policy j foreshadowed in his inaugural it may i expect with certainty a decided rein-! forcement from the intelligent colored voters throughout the South." Ax Expert.?A young man of town j said to us on Friday that along with j some that is standard a great deal of j bad beer is on sale here just now. He i further intimated that he was an ex- j pert in this line and would be glad at; any to go along- with the unwary and j inexperienced to see that they are not imposed on. We will give his address ; to any one in need of liis services, and j if he should happen to be otherwise | engaged, or should he for any reason decline to take the job, then the local editor of Tiie News and Herald might possibly consent to act himself. Tiie Game Law.?The game law ; which inuy be of interest to some par- j tics just now is as follows: General Statutes, Section 1094: "It: shall not be lawful for any person in 1 this State between the fifteenth day of j March and the first day of October, in j any year hereafter, to catch, kill or in-1 jure or to pursue with such intent, or j to sell or expose for sale any wild tur- i key, partridge, dove, woodchuck or ] pheasant; and any person found gailtv j thereof sha'l be fiued not ]ess than ten j (10) dollars, or be imprisoned not less ! than ten days, which fine, if imposed, i shall go one-half thereof to the in-1 former, the other half to the school; fund of the county wherein the oflfeuce ! was committed." Great Men of the South.?A correspondent of the Cleveland Ledger, writing of the birth-places of the illustrious men of the South, suggests that neither Kentucky nor Tennessee has ! ever produced a great man, and ac-; credits Presidents Jackson and John-1 son to North Carolina. The latter is j an error. Both Jackson and Johnson j were natives of South Carolina:! 7 I the former having been born in the} Waxhaws, in Lancaster county,and the ! fVirmnr. we believe, was born and I reared in Laurens. Both of the men j were great, if measured by their achievements in life; both arose from the humblest to the proudest places bysheer force of charactor; and both are shininor examples of the possibilities of o *. * American citizenship. South Carolina claims them as her sons and refuses to be robbed of the legacy of pride that springs from the lustre of their fame, j A Bachelor Down South.?We j clip the following from the Ocala Item: : Mr. J. R. Harden, late of Winnsboro, S. C., has accepted the position of corresponding clerk in the banking firm of E. W. Agnew & Co. Mr. Harden is a fine specimen of South Carolina's handsome yonng men, but his gentlemanly' bearing would pass him as an English-man instead of a Palmetto Knight. l~pon the question of personal appearance the remarks of the Item are in order. Mr. Harden was, when here, duly elected by the B. P. U. "town masher' more than a year ago. But what he should have done since leaving here to be taken for an Eng~ lisk-man is more than his friends can imagine. The Item might as well have flnng "Congressman" at him. It is now in order for Mr. Harden to invite the editor to "coffee and pistols," and if this is too strong for the digestion of the man of the Item, our friend should proceed to the "sanctum" like cl 11 UU I a?lliUVlV auvi oirwy , up the floor with the "knight of the j quill." A Lawyer Left.?It is told of Col. | George Johnstone, of the Newberry j bar, that coming over here to attend the recent term of the Court of Common Pleas he decided at Alston that he would, rather than ride across the country, go around via Columbia. Arriving at Ridgeway he stepped off the car under the impression that, he had reached this place. Not bGing of a peculiarly inquisitive turn of inind 1 he said nothing and the train rolled ' on. Then commenced a search for the j | court-house that was unnecessarily j j protracted. Some say that it lasted | two hoars and three-quarters, but that j is perhaps an exaggeration. At any j rate the Colonel concluded that some- j thing was wrong, and accosting a citi-! sen on I he suburbs of town he sub-! mittcd his case without argument. He j Wild <Jl wuuv; iUiVlUicia lliul ll. be necessary to go farther, and this he proceeded at once to do. The fellow who brought him up here across the country was advised to say nothing about the little circumstance, but he has seen proper to make mention of it notwiuisianuing. Free Trade.?There is talk among the young men iu town of agitating the free trade issue in politics somewhat after the manner iu which the issue was fought in England a quarter of a century ago, under the direction J of the "Cobden Clubs"?which means' that the politicians wiin?pcunprl!od to i take hold of the qiie.vi.Mj It may be1 affirmed with certainty that free trade j is now one of th." living issues in the pontics oi tins country. v\ in me Democratic party take hold of r? i This question ina\ be settled by answering the further inquiry?will the i Democratic party prove itself a party j of progress, a party with the good of j the coutrv at heart, a party led by en-. lightened statesmen, 01 will it show J itself a mere aggregation of hungry polititions, held together as Mr. Cal houu would say by the "cohesive i power of public plunder?'' Time alone can throw light upon this in quiry; but this much may be said?if j the Democratic party would remain in ' power it must move. Amendment Needed.?Section 2,022 ; of the General Statutes, which provides a scale by which recognizancas , entered into, before Trial Justices! shall be regulated, could be im- j proved bv amendment. Its practical I working, as may be seen every day j or two in the Trial Justices courts j here, is a hardship to the accused. [ Subdivision first of the section pro- j vides that-, "If the oficnse charged be ' punishable with fine, imprisonment, j or either, the recognizance ot" the ae-1 cnsed shall not be tor less than two i hundred doliar-y' winch i$ very weii, but then conies this qualification, "ifj the fine be specified or limited by j Statute, it shall not be for less than j the greatest extent of such fine," i which is not well at all. Just to illus-1 trate, a party is brought before a Trial j Justice, charged with selling a quart <>f! peas, or a peck of corn, on whi::h a ' lien exists, without giving notice of j such lien to the purchaser, he offers bail and is informed by the Trial Justice that the law requirs a bond of five thousand dollars. "Well he may now do one of three things, give the bail, go to jail, or apply for a writ of habeas corpus. In the last case of course he must pay out some money, and in the event that he has not got it to pay, (and it is important to remember this) the expense falls 0:1 the county. Clear Iv there is something wrong in this matter, and we commend the same to attention of our legislators. Thk Law as to Hiking out of Convicts.?The Newberry Observer criticises the Legislature with some surety for having- changed the law as to hiring out convicts; it attributes the change to the friends of the Columbia canal, who the Observer asserts wished to concentrate all the labor possible on this enterprise, and the Observer also | indulges in an effort at sarcasm towards ! ? fK/* &(s\tra?* 7ao1amc lmmonitflrlftnc fn : whose efforts it attributes the change. "We have not seen the Act of the Legislature referred to, and do not know exactly what the change is, we infer from the remarks of the Observe:' that the law now prohibits the hiring out of convicts, and hope that our inference may be correct. The penitentiary may be made self-sustaining, J a ?AAntTtA^ U r\ 1? Arvf nntl-vin if ?> dllU eYCi V wnvi^i uc tuuiiu ito walls, and if this is not already the case, it is simply because the "hiring out" system has prevailed to the exclu> sion of any effort at progress in this direction. Again the Observer is wrong. The "hiring out" system was opposed by men who took no stock "in the Columbia canal projcct; it was opposed and denounced by men who can hear all the odium that the spirit of controversy may wring into "over zealous humanitarians." It was opposed and denounced because it had become a monument of shame, which deserves to be mentioned along with the Tewksbury infamies of Massachusetts. Its horrors need not be recited in detail, it is sufficient to say that no wail that ever reached civilization from the Siberian mi hps was more nainful in its pathos, than the cry which daily went up to the nnanswering clouds from the shackled convicts on the railroads and Phosphate beds in South Carolina. "We hope that the "hiring out" system has gone to stay. A Happy Gathering:. Messrs. Editors: Some time has elapsed since your correspondent had the pleasure of attending a wedding, when on Wednesday, the 25th ult., together with many friends, we had the pleasure of witnessing the marriage of Miss Rebecca L. Harrison and Mr. R. B. Lewis, of Longtown, at the residence of the bride's mother. Ac three o'clock, the appointed hour, the groom and bride, with their attendants, Miss Pet Boyd and Mr. Geo. T. Wildes, Miss Marv Harrison and Mr. N. A. Peav, were ushered into the room, where a goodly number of friends were assembled to witness the marriage ceremony, to be performed by the Rev. C. G. Bradford, of Winnsboro. With his accnstomed dignity and ease this duty was soon performed and the customary congratulations were offered, after which we were highly entertained by some excelleut vocal ?vd instrumental music on the piano until the setting of Sol reminded ns that the dear ones at home were anxiously awaiting our return, bo bidding the happy conpie and friends good-bye we retraced our steps homeward, consoling ourself with the fact that just twenty-five years ago we passed through the same happy ordeal our young friends have just passed through, and regretting that we had spent so much of our life in single j wretchedness, and wondering why such an organization as the B. P. U. should exist. x. ITEMS FROH LTLES'S FORD. Messrs. Editors: Allow me to jot down a few items from Broad River. lour readers are weu aware 01 tne damages, I suppose by this time, the : oats and wheat crops have sustained by the continuous hard freezes of late. | Some farmers about here have sown I the second time, and one a third time, , their oats. Wheat also is. said to be j materially injnred in locations around | here. Oats sown by the 10th of next | month will grow high enough to reap, provided they get enough rain in May. Our orrnin pvnort trade is so limited now that the prior1, it is thought, will not be much enhanced soon of corn, flour and bacon. What our farmers mostly need is the improvement of their nearly exhausted soils. This can only be done by rest, and appropriating a larger area to small grain, fol* - "? * /*! ? T? J_? 1 iowea uy tue ueia pea. rracucai farmers have done so to some extent, and aver that their soil has been doubly enriched by it in the short space o* ten years. Why can't all farmers do likewise? I notice quite an exodus of the negro this winter from our State. I think if half would leave us wc would have enough left, unless their labor could be more profitably utilized. Per haps, if it were the case, more of our white young men wouhl become farmers and laborers?a much needed desideratum. Not but the negro is as yet the best laborer we can obtain, but they are too populous for many reasons. They work the railroads and phosphate mines, help build houses, etc., besides working on farms, but our State is too small and the soil too poor to sustain so many. I heard an intelligent merchantfanner not long since affirm that twothirds of the lands (and I-suppose personal property too) were under mortgage in our State. If that be true, which I doubt not, most of our landholders now will ere long become tenants, or laborers, or both. This comes of the long standing credit svs tcm so ruinous to our common prosperity. The wealth of our once prosperous State will soon concentrate in the possession of a few. Deplorable condition, indeed! I fear it is too late for remedy. w. e. Lyles's Ford, February 26, 1885. IMMIGRATION' SEEDED. Messrs. Editors: Please publish the following takeu from the Southern Cultivator. It may serve as a pointer. It is a part of the occupation of my life to set up such pointers, but if we mav iudsre from the results, the majori ty of the people must think that they are as unreliable as many of the fingerboards set up by the late board of county commissioners. 11. It is almost needless to tell the Cultivator that we farmers of the South have thousands of acres which were once fertile fields, now idle and growing up in weeds, briars and pines. If we would double the amount of our oats raised, sow five times as much wheat as we do, and put ten acres in pasture where we now have one, part of these waste lands would be reclaimed, yet only a small part. The fact is we have too much land for our population. We are land poor. Hence, we must Dnug in people irom some source, and we have decided to get them mostly from other States. In order to do this, I commcnced about three years ago to write up the soil, climate, etc., of West Alabama, and as a result we now have families from Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. The head of each family brings from one to six thousand dollars?a great help in the present impoverished condition of our country; but they bring something better than money, in improved imninmenfj?. advanced methods of farming, an energy and love for the soil which we do not possess to the extent we ought. The Northern people have not formed and all settled in one section, but are scattered over the county, and wherever they are the signs "of improvement can be seen, and lands have doubled in value. Some persons think that we ought ' ' * -L J? I* 1 ^ not to lei mese nne janas pass out 01 oar hands, but keep them for our children, as they are being sold for almost nothing. I fear we would have to keep them too long. Our young men, instead of marrying and having homes of their own, "and thus aiding us in building up the country, go to town to clerk, enter some profession and lead an aimless and often worthless life. We have good lands and we want to see them in a fine state of cultivation, and if we have not the people here to occupy them, what better can we do than "to send to other States and get settlers? Convince me that there is some better plan, and I will abandon this one on which I have spent much tZ WIAMATT r?ATI7 unit; uuu akk\x wuv^/u ?.?? one. I send with this two new subscribers, one of whom has just moved in nere from Nebraska. So yon see that the money these people bring here is divided among a great many interests that need fostering. C. C. L. Dill. Pickensville, Ala. TIDINGS FROM TEXAS. Huntsville, Texas, February 28.? This has been a severe winter in Texas; the heavy snow and sleet storms have been bad on cattle and the loss great. Yery little farm work going on yet, but the farmers seem very anxious for good weather, so they can get to planting. Crops were poor here last year ou account of the drought, and all business is suffering from the effect. Large crops of cotton will be planted, * P a ^TA ana it uju > wiu nr iii ut good. It is w ell for the Eastern farmers to note the progress that the Southwest is making in growing cotton, and to my mind its only a matter of time that they will monopolize this business. The natural advantages here are so great that the older States cannot compete with this section; this will bring bout changes that 111 tbe end will be to yonr advantage; as New England found that she could not compete with the rich lands of the "West she turned her attention to manufacturing, and look at her wealth to-day; so in time the same will be true of South Carolina that is so blessed with advantages for such work. The people of your State are so joined to their idols that nothing but necessity will ever change them; you may as well form joint stock companies and raise funds : I \\j uuiiu lav/iviico uy liiui igagiug > uui lands and gee at something that will pay as to mortgage them for supplies te grow cotton that don't pay; you have prayed long for others to come and build them for you, "the gods don't help those that don't try to help themselves," so the fable tells us, very applicable to our people who afe being reduced from a state of wealth to poverty, while the rest of the world is making great progress just visit the Exposition at New Orleans and uote the display that our nation has just grounds to be proud of, and take fresh courage to build up our old i Carolina.
