Very few oases and none of! importance were tried at this term. : ?Some of our merchants are already i getting in spring goods.

And for a company of this sort, j it appears to us that in onr midst j some first rate talent that may be made ; available. ?As the young men of town will i pernaps suoruy eicct one 01 lueir | ^ number "boss masher," it would have | Hfe "been well to have had our late phre-; j?r^. nologist to search specially for the ' organ that underlies that terrible qualification. ?The Columbia Register says that the fruit trees in that locality are DiOOim ng. iti tnis iney arc, so iar as | we have been able to observe, consid \ crably ahead of onrs, but it is one of the few cases in which >ve have no reason to complain at being behind. ?In view of the many typographical errors that have recently appeared 111 our columns we desire to say to our readers that we have iust "turned the proof-reader off and hired him over again," and if he don't do better in the future, we expect to bring him out for the Legislature at the next election. V-?Wednesday was certainly a spring \ day, but judging from the behavior of the weather at this season for several years past, no one need suppose that spring has come to stay. There will be no considerable falling off in the demand for wood here for some time to-come. ? ne nave oeen requested 10 say to the sportsmen of town that gunning in ' the Presbyterian churchyard does not meet with the approval of interested parlies. The complaint is that the graves arc not properly observed by the gunners in walking to and fro in pursuit of game. jDAiaiiNu.?upiauu corn is cemg planted in places In the comity.

Lauderdale, of this place., returned from "Washington 0:1 Tuesday evening. He seems to have been pleased with the ceremonies of the inauguration, and especially ?so with the new President who be it remembered, is an honorary member 1 Z ~ ra-j, r- - ; ik lourt.?The trial justice courts were busy oil Saturday. -Airnmber of cases were tried?among them the I case of the State vs. Ben Martin and Moses Mitchell, charged with assault and battery. The evidence was vol uminous and conflicting, and after : argument of counsel the defendants j were permitted to depart in peace. ; Cotton.? The cotton market has | declined in the past few days, owing ! to European complications, This is j the difficulty aoout tne srreat staple 01 j the South; its value as a commodity i depends upon the peace of the world, j Should a general war break out. in i Europe, which seems now probable, ^ the next crop of cotton may be sold ; for five cents per pound. This is a | fact which intelligent farmers will not ! be apt to overlook. The Water Supply.?It lias been i suggested to us by a member of tbe i Town Council that it would be well to ! publish weekly a statement of the supi ply of water in our public cisterns, j The suggestion appears to us to be a | very good one as this piece of informa' tiou ou?rht to be constantly in the i possession of the firemen. We wil! i therefore pnblish hereafter once a week j the measurement's as taken by the | policemen. | A Runaway.?Messrs. D. A. Crawi ford and "W. M. Propst, were driving i a young and unbroken mule on Tues j day evening-, when the animal became ! -lightened, ran off and threw both gentlemen violently from their vehicle. Mr. Propst was rather seriously hurl, having one of his ribs broken, besides receiving several painful bruises. Mr. Crawford sustained no injuries. The mule continued his mad career until the road-cart was literally demolished. A Phrenologist Abroad.?Profes i sor Goist, a traveling phrenologist, was in town on Wednesday and Thursday. He examined a number of heads during his short stay, pronouncing some wise, some otherwise. He seems to have furnished a good deal of amusement for the attorneys of Law ncnr>fMallv nnrl TvlintPvfM* mnv A",UCV vwrw^..; , .. . J be said of his calling-, from a scientific : point of view, the fact remains that lie : was at least able to point out with a fair measure of precision the leading characteristics of many of his subjects here. Is Court.?In the trial justice court 011 Thursday the case of the State vs. Fcate Harrison, charged with uttering ? /N?\A/\AU ^ tTTrtft imeiucuui^ ?pcc<-iico, ?ao JKUIUI It appeared that the defendant, with language that is discouraged in Sunday schools, had informed the prose-cutmg witness that certain charges which she had preferred against him must be retracted. The defendant was convicted, and his counsel gave notice of appeal 011 the ground, among others, that to "utter threatening speeches" is "not an offence known to the law. Another Survivor Goxe. ? Mr. Andrew M. Young-, a highly esteemed citizen of this county, died very suddenly at his residence 011 last Monday night. He was, it was said afflicted with heart disease, and this was perhaps the cause of his death. Miv Yougue was about fifty years of age. He served throughout the late "war in Company G. Sixth Regiment S. C. V., received one or two wounds, and is --- I 1 1 ~ Ho,-.* 5UiU LU LiUW UUCII U> VCJV J^aiiaut owidier. He leaves a wife, three children and many friends to mourn his loss. Educational.?At the meeting of the Teachers' Association at Bethel on the 7th inst. Mr. "Willard Richardson was elected president and Messrs. B. II. Robertson, Thos. E. Bell and Patterson Ward law were elected vicepresidents. Mr. B. R. Tnrnipsced was chosen secretary-. An execntive com mittee was also chosen, consisting of Messrs. B. B. Eobertson,' Patterson Wardl&w, Thos. E. Bell and Miss Henrietta Thomas. Messrs. Jno. S. llev> nolds and E. B. Kagsdale were elected honorary members of the Association. I The Association will hold its next meeting at White Oak. ? , C, Cotton.?Mr. Thomas E.' Bell, of the Mossy Dale Academy, hands us the following philosophical summing ; up from the pen of a little girl ten I years of age, a pnpil of his school: Uotton is tnc King 01 crops aown j South. To successfully raise cotton, j we need the mellow soil and warm j climate, aud mule-and nigger- Don't j you forget the, Wando, for its the thing I to start;it off. And then it is such a lively time to keep Gen. Green down, and we work hard, and just before the : crop is safe?a "dry dronght" comes L along and doift'make ailalf crop. ; xneiT we tew tmr iBercJiaucs vviiat we | are going to-do next year, and we get ; more credit and try it again, but we | iind out at last tliat it is-asnare and a j delusion antf .we wish" we could stop, | but we can't and that's all I know j about cotton. , , i;?, f. l. r. Shot While Resisting Arrest.? Aleck Gains, while trying1 to resist ; arrest a few days ago, was shot by the I constable. It seems that Aleck, who ; was charged with larceny of grain I from the field, had been avoiding the : officers of the law for some time. The 1 latter at last went to bis house iu the j night time, broke down the door and ' succeeded in making the arrest. The . defendant it appears did not particui iarlv like his new situation, and disI engaging himself by physical force, he attempted to save himself by flight. He was. fired upon by the constable or ; some one* of the posse and received n i painful though not fatal wound. Re I * w X j is now in jail and is said to be doing i very well. lie is attended by Dr. I E. W. Aiken. _ Necessary Severity.?In the Court of Sessions for Chester county, Judge j Wallace on Monday evening com uuttea a number of witnesses to the custody of the Sheriff until the followj ing day, and in addition fined them an amount equal to their fees for one day's attendance on Court. The witnesses i had neg-lected to put in their appear | ance at Court as provided in thcii ) bonds. Doubtless these gentlemer | felt that they had been severely deal I ? .V with, Hie liberty of the towri is prefer ab'e to thnt of (he corridors of the iail. but on the other hard tlw i.? ju?t as little room for doubt i.,^ tiuit tin; administration of justice is a serious matter, and all parties who have not vet. found this onf. are fit subjects f >r just such a lesson as Judge Wallace* taught these gentlemen on last Monday night. Criminal Law.?We venture the assertion that South Carolina ha.- the I most comprehensive criminal e^dc of j any civilized nation in the world. Since 1SG5 the scope of the criminal law has been gradually enlarged. Every Legislature has made something a crime that was never such before until the General Statutes which embody the written law may be described as an orderly compilation of felonies ( and misdemeanors. To violate certain contracts is now a misdemeanor, and to utter menacing speeches is also held to be a crime. We give these as mere examples; there are hosts of others equally absurd. There is a natural scope for the operation of criminal law and the Legislature that ignores j this fact bctravs its ignorance of the ! principles of judicial science and the philosophy that underlies the social state. We need a "repeal year." Both Sides Found Guilty.?On Saturday the case of the State vs. Wade Martin, which involved "something concerning of a choking," was heard. It seems that the prosecuting witness, Jeflf Guignard, had interfered In a quarrel between Tom Rabb, a son-in-law of his, and one Ben Martin, a brother of the defendant, making warlike demonstrations towards Ben. At this juncture Wade claims "a finger in the pit*," and stretching Guignard out on the ground he is said to have choked him until his tongue hung out "like a flag of truce." The defendant pleaded in justification of the j cnarge mat nc liueriercu iu prevent I ''he commission of a felony, but he was j found guilty and sentenced to pay a I fine of ten dollars and costs. The case of the State vs. Guignard, the flag-bearer of the above-stated "unpleasantness/' for an assault on Ben, was then taken up in another court. The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of j two dollars and costs, and all parties j j went home vindicated. Ax ArrEAL.?The following rather remarkable document has been given to ns for publication. Whereas, it is j ft-aa'w Til' oit thnf nunii lln?l litWf ftUlUiH^U M*l^ VW?*V M^V.I V..V energetic effort of its young men, the ultimate salvation of any county must at last depend. And whereas, it has become apparent to many that great dissatisfaction hath from some cause or other, taken possession of several of our most interesting youths. And whereas, there is a consequent carelessness of great moment on the part of these in attending to the duties of j their daily business: Now therefore j know ve ail vounsr ladies bv these ! " a I presents that while there be nothing either improper or reprehensible in the fact amiable girls, and dutiful daughters, should with the conscnt of their parents absent themselves from home, and go at large for some time, among:friends and relations; yet when it becomes clear that snch absence renders human life at home a burden, threatens, the orderly progress of business, aL'd imperils the future prosperity " ? it v... I j 01 ine CUUJIL1V, meu uv cvc? v seuir i merit of humanity and patriotism, an immediate return becomes a preeminent duty. Many Citizens. wrxtkking Stock.?Few people in I this country, house their cattle in j winter, and while few disasters follow I from this habit of carelessness, owing ' A" AAmnmi(t4{na r\f Ani> i LU UIC Wlii[/aiatxy t iuhuu^OC v*. winters, still tbe better plan is to have warm and comfortable houses for stock of all kinds. This is advisable both from the standpoint of prudence and of economy. Food is fuel. Horses in open stables exposed to the blasts of winter eat up the troughs, the logs ot the stable, etc. This is easily explainTKo hlrtnrl nf flip nniinnl mnsf hp kept ap to its normal temperature and to this end the ^assimilation of food becomes more rapid. When the supply is exhausted the animal must suffer extreme hunger, a consequent loss of flesh and lowering of vitality, and doubtless in many instances premature deutb. "We do not mean to utter any ha.sh criticism but \re affirm that on four-fifths of the farms in this couuty, the houses prepared for wintering | horses, to say nothing of the attention that is given to cattle wnicn are usually left out to stand the storm, betray a culpable ignorauce of the loads of nature and economy above adverted to as welfas a stolid indifference to the dictates of humanity. Death of the Rev. E. C. Steele.? The Rev. Edwin C. Steele died at the I residence of Mr. Thomas Ashby, near ' Florence, on the 6th inst. His health j had been failing for some time, under j the effects of consumption, and his aeain was in>i uuexpeciea. ne was iu the thirty-fifth year of his age. Mr. Steele was a native of Charleston, but removed to "Winnsboro early in the war. He attended Mount Zion Institute for some vears, and afterwards ! entered the University of the Sonth, j at Sewanee, Tenn., where lie was ' graduated. He received a thorough I theological training and in 1878 took j deacon's orders in the Protestant Epis, j copal Church. He ministered first in ] Charleston, and then at Chester and at I "VAvlrtrilln T-T/y tro? of* 4 J tv A < ?

When called away from i his labors by failing health, he was -! rector of the Church of the Redeemer, : | at Orangeburg?having previously -, been ordained to the priesthood. Mr. s! Steele was a man of the highest con* j victions of duty, and was devoted to i j his sacred calling-. He had very pleasant >! manners, and he made friends wherever 5 j he went. "While in Winnsboro he j made a large number of friends, who " ] will deeply regret to learn of his uni! timely death. He leaves a widow aud 11 two children. frafcfc Leslie's Sthrt)alf Magazine. ?The April number is a particularly interesting one, and he who docs not find much in it to please him must be very hard to suit. It begins with the opening chapters of Farjeon's new | story, "Love's Harvest," which promises to be equal to the other stories of | this favorite writer. Three additional | chapters of Mrs. Farmers "What She Made of Her Life'' arc given, and also j three of the juvenile story, "Pen's Perplexities." Adelaide C. Waldron contributes a beautiful sonnet, "An Easter Lily," aud there are other fine poems. The Rev. Dr. A. A. E. Taylor has a characteristic article on "The Bad Boy as a Moral Reformer," and the Rev. Dr. T. D. Witherspoon a beautiful one on "The Alpine Horn." Mrs. Alexander's "Sisterhood of Spinters" is a pungent, though goodnatured, piece of satire. The veteran Thomas Powell contributes "A Personal Reminiscence of Spohr and Mendelssohn," and Cherubini and Me read,ante are the subjects of the "Sacred Musicians" series. The "Glauecs at Bible History" and ^'Christ Teaching by Parable" are continued, and both very interesting; aud the venerable countenance of the Rev.

Clowney, a well known citizen of this conntv, died at his home on list.Thursday morning atfer an illness of some length, from nlfMirn-nnnnmorria- He was natnrallv of vigorous constitution, and had generally enjoyed fine health. The funeral services took place on Friday. Captain Clownev was a Dative of Fairfield, and was about forty-five years of age. He entered the Confederate service as a private in' the Buckhead Guards, and afterwards rose to the position of captain of that company, forming a part of the S&th Kegiment. Tt-j. : t _cl? i.i? ivcuiniiiig jiuuic attei iiic suucuum, he engaged in farming, and was quite successful. His ' first appearance in public life was in 1878 when he was brought out for a place in the Legislature from this county. He received a handsome vote in the Democratic primary, and was duly elected. He was suggested for re-election in 1880, but declined. Captain Clowney wa?held in high regard by his neighbors and by all who came in contact with him. He was of pleasant bearing and generous disposition. His charities, rarelv known to any but himself and the beneficiaries, were frequent and liberal. In bis death Fairfield loses one who in war served his country bravely and unswervingly, and in peace was faithful to all the trusts of his citizen ship. He leaves six children, and a number of relatives, to mourn his departure. , Transfers of Real Estate.

Messrs. Editors: Please allow me to correct an error in your last issue. The list of oiembers of the executive committee of the County Teachers' Association should have read as follows: Rev. W. Richardson, Miss Henrietta Thomas, Messrs. B. R. Turnipseed, Tlios. E. Bell and Patterson Wardlaw. Patterson Wardlaw, Secretary. The Cleveland and Hendricks Ball. Messrs. Editors: Having seen nothing: from the "Corner" in your columns for some time, T thought a few dots from this locality might not be " uninteresting to our many friends, and to the numerous readers of your valuable paper. In the first place I wish to say something in regard to the headingof this script, the mere mention of whose names causes the hearts of the iv. M it ;i.u people in me "t^orner" to swuu wim enthusiasm, aud thankfulness to an all-wise God for His goodness and mere}*. The exuberant feeling which prevailed among the enthusiastic young Democracy had to find an outlet or vent in some shape or form. The programme was to have a Cleveland and Hendricks ball at the residence of Mr. Henrv Jeffers on Wednesday night, March 4, in honor of the inauguration of the "Corner's" choice for President and Vice-President of the United States. It is useless to dwell cpon the oiiin\Tim<vr^ nf f-Vifk nr?f??jc?nn * it WOnld: V,VV.' VVVV~. ? , ? , no doabt, tire the patience of. your readers to go into details, therefore I simply State that the ball was a grand success. ' Hurrah for Cleveland and Hendricks! Methinks I hear the echo of that exclamation throughout the entire length and breadth of our va>t commonwealth. A united people, truly. The farmers in thi3 vicinity are i ii I uciier feiuriis iuau wcic ui ! teu days ago, still they are grumbling; and they always will grumble. The | situation is truly alarming in many | respects. The oats crop in this locality is almost an entire failure, to judge from the present outlook. The wheat crop is but very little better. Some of the farmers who were so fortunate as to hare the oats have been resowing, OVSIllV/y UI9V' OV U OIUVV 111V weather set in; but the majority were so unfortunate as not to have the oats, or the money to bny with. It is :i j/ity to see the country in such a plight; but there is a remedy for this evil, if the farmers would only make up their minds to apply it, and that is to make grain sufficient and raise hogs for home consumption on the farm?making cotton altogether a surplus crop, a secondary consideration. a < . /Mirt 1 V\AnlfU f Ui?Ainrli/Mi h f -Luc gcuciai ucaiui luiuu^uuut "Corner" is very good, only a few cases of pneumonia np to date.
