Owing to our inherent all-over-topping stupidity, however, we have not been in the least edified. He advises us to adopt a system of "booming" and thus <ret rich and make the country rich, but with thanks we must decline to act | upon the suggestion. It affords us the greatest pleasure at all times to recognize merit wherever we find it, but we will not "boom" anything or anybody. "We would rather join the greenback party and get rich that way. A Timely "Warning.--Those who have kept up with matters reported in the local columns of-Tiik News .and Herald will remember that for the past six months wife beating has been epidemic among the colored population, the practice . has prevailed to that j extent, that a whipping-post, for wife- J beaters has been to some extent talked j of. and it would seem that some step should also be taken for the protection : of the children, for the records of the : last Court show tnat they too suffer j from the cruelty of their inhuman ] parents Lias Rawliuson pleaded i guilty of assault and battery of a high j and aggravated nature 011 his little grandchild, towards which he stood in the relation of parent and was sent to the penitentiary for six years. The child had not a square inch of sound hide on his body. And Allen Boyd and Tody Boyd were convicted of murdering their daughter. The evidence in this case showed it to be one of systematic cruelty resulting in the j tragedy by which these defendants incurred the ^extreme penalty of the law. Their fate should admonish j those of their race who occupy similar j relations in life that there is a limit to malignity beyond which even the parent of a colored child cannot go. The Plume Drill. The plume drill and ball, which was the event of the season, has come and gone. Every precaution was taken to render the occasion a success, and the committee of arrangements are certainly entitled to the commendation of a pleasure-seeking public. The contest commenced at about nine o'clock and continued for an hour j a 'nrr on/1 m/\vo vliiu.

It must be said for the Gordons as a whole that their soldierly bearing is more than excellent, and the facility with which they handled their pieces would have won the admiration of Upton himself. Two plumes were awarded?one to the best drilled non-commissioned officer, the other to the best drilled private. The former, after a spirited contest, was awarded to Sergeant H. B. McMaster, the latter to Private n T TT Ur. u. xiiiey. The prizes were delivered with ap-. propriatc remarks by Mr. H. N. Obear.

We have made no examination into ! the condition of the several public I offices or the public buildings, and j make no presentment thereon, tor tJie reason that any examination made at this time would necessarily be superficial, and there ton; unsatisfactory as well to ourselves as to the public.

The Rocky Mount road, near the residence of Daniel Hall, is reported as needing work. We bring these matters to the attention of"the County Commissioners, with the suggestion that they act in the premises as early as existing circumstances will allow. The other roads and bridges in the county are, as far as we have ascertained, in fair condition. There has been submitted to the grand jury a petition praying for the erection of a bridge over Dutchman's Creeks near the farm of Dr. S. S. Lin.. der. We recommend that said petition 'be referred to the County Commissioners. We recommend that blinds be placed on the windows 011 the west side of the Court House, similar to those recently placed 011 the north and south sides. We tender our thanks to the Presiding Judge and the Solicitor for their assistance given us in the discharge of our auues. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. I). Hogan, Foreman. This report was received and the grand jury was discharged from further attendance upon the Court at the present term. COURT OF GENERAL SESSION'S. The Court made very rapid progress T7i: ?-?nAftAn ft* A1?A fn*A/l UIl lUUUUilV rivu Ul^u and a verdict of guilty -was returned ill each case. On Tuesday morning the first case called was the State vs. Lias'Rawlinson, charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The | UUiUIIUUIl I CilCClCU tx VI ^um; In the ease of the State vs. Os. | Yongue, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, Messrs. Douglass & McDonald appeared for the-defense. The jury found the defendant "Not guilty". In the case of the State vs. Allen Jackson, charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon, Messrs. Doughiss & McDonald anoeared for the de fense. The jury found the defendant "Not guilty". In the case of the State vs. Alexander Gains, charged with larceny of grain from the field, Messrs. Ragsdale & Ragsdale and H. N. Obear, Esq., appeared for the defense. The jury returned a verdict of "Guilty", but on motion of the defendant's attorneys this verdict was set aside and a new trial ordered. This was the last case tried on Tuesday, a considerable number having been continued to the next term of Court. Tho onlv case remaining 011 docket j for trial was that against Allen Boyd and Tody Boyd, charged with murder, and counsel had agreed ou Monday morning to try this case on Thursday. It thus became apparent to the Court that there would be nothing for the jurors to do on Wednesday and they were accordingly discharged until today. Several appeals from trial justice courts were next taken up. The judg> ? * A#* fKoea AOffftO TTTftl'fl lliUii CO III VI lU^CV/ VUCVC HCiV reversed, in others the trial justices were sustained. On Wednesday morning the Court of General Sessions was adjourned and the Court of Common Pleas wasopened. Calendar Xo. 3 was called and several judgments by default were given. The Court of General Sessions was j convened again on mursuay morning-, j The only remaining case for trial on ' the docket, to wit, the State rs. jUlen Boyd and Todie Boyd, charged with murder, was then taken up. Messrs. Douglass & McDonald appeared for the defense. The indictment contained six counts, charging the defendants first as principals both and then alter natelyas priucipaland accessory before the fact. The following- iurv was empanelled without much trouble: W. Watt BricOj W.J. Elliott, RichardW.Featherston, Charles S. Ford, William H. Willingham, Strother Ford, Robert S. Simontou, W. R. Rabb, Cato Hill (colored), J. B. Patrick, Alfred Lee (colored), J. F. Coleman. Mr. W. Watt Brice was elected foreman, and the State proceeded to offer evidence. It appeared that the deceased was a girl twelve or thirteen years of age, a daughter of the defendant Allen Boyd and stepdaughter of his wife and"defendant Todie Boyd. She was buried about the first of May last. Some parties in the community suspected foul play and communicated with the coroner. Tins officer proceeded to the grave, had the body exhumed and held an inquest. Dr. Ira T. Smith was present and made a post mortem examination. lie testified that marks of vioience were found on various parts of the body; that there was especially a conspicuous wound over the left temple; that in his opion these taken all together might have caused the death of the deceased. Annthoi- wifnoaa n ->lnrf>d crirl. teS tified that she was, about the 26th of April, near the house of the defendants and heard Todie Boyd beating the deceased; heard the blows; was attracted also by the crying; saw the deceased after her death and noted many marks of violence on her person, especially the wound over lelt temple. Another colored woman, who saw flvA cfnfAmniilo me uuuj , tuuuuuiaifu luc ^u*^uivni? of this witness. A number of others testified that the deceased liad been several times brutally beaten and otherwise harshly treated by both defendants. The testimony of Dr. Smith as to the condition of the stomach went to show also that in life deceased knew something of starvation too. The State rested abont j 1 o'clock, p. m. .The defense opened bv examining Drs. Turner, Robertson and Aiken, to prove that death would not probably liuve resulted from the injuries which the prosecution had endeavored to show that the deceased received at the j hands of the defendants. The testimony of neither of these physicians, however, be it said, appeared to cover j entirely the exact facts of the case. The defense examined several other witnesses and disputed perhaps every essential fact proved by the State. The character of several' important witnesses for the prosecution was impeached, the defendants were put upon fl?n etnnrl mo^n n rni?v biiu UiUUW VUVll w T Jk J vvwcacsvuw statement and the defense closed. The State confined itself in reply chiefly to supporting the character of the witnesses who had been impeached and closed about 4 p. m. The opening argument for the defense was made by W. L. McDonald, Esq. He was followed by his colleague Chas. A. Douglass, Esq., and Solicitor McDonald was heard for the State. T.?o trai'tr o uugc )r liucisjjuvii uuucibu <* t\,i? clear and impartial charge, and. the jury retired. After remainifig out about three-quarters of an hour a verdict of "Guilty, with a rcconimcndation to mercy" was returned. The Court, here adjourned and the jurors were discharged. On Friday morning counsel for the defense made a motion for a new trial. The motion was refused and the prisoners were sentenced to be executed on Friday, the 24th of July next. An effort will be made by the prisoners' counsel to have the sentence com muted. The following sentences were then imposed upon prisoners who had-been convicted at the present term: Lias Bawlinson, who pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and battery in two cases was sentenced to three years imprisonment, at hard labor, in the penitentiary in each case. Andy Alexander and Mary Bailey, convicted of adultery, were sentenced each to pay a fine of $100 or be confined, at hard labor, in the penitentiary for six months. Samuel Bailey, who was convicted of carrying a concealed deadly weapon, was sentened to pay a fine of forty dollars or be imprisoned, at hard labor, in the penitentiary for the term of three months. George Smith, convicted of stealing grain from the field, was sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars or be imprisoned in the penitentiary, at hard labor, for the term of one year. William Sawyer and Alfred Grier, convicted of larceny of live stock, were sentenced to imprisonment, at hard labor, in the penitentiary for the term or one yer ana to pay a n:ie 01 five dollars. Sunday Services. Messrs. Editors: For some weeks past it has frequently happened that on the Sabbath day there was service, either in all our churches, or in neither; n)cr\ coi'cinoc ?n <lio mrn-ninor anrl nnrtp. UiJVj CW1 T AVV/?J 1*1 k*IV ftAiVI MMM fvvivv at night, in either church. With your permission, I wish to make some suggestions through your paper on the- subject, and they are as follows: For the summer months (or longer, if found agreeable,) will our ministers of the different congregations agree to unite and consent to appoint, alternately, one of their number to officiate Sunday nights at one of the most central points, viz., Jtsaptist or Methodist churchcs? This would insure service every Sunday evening, and give a full congregation for the minister officiating; and at the same time it would partake somewhat the character of a union of brethren. Honing for a reply from one of our clergymen in your next issue, I am yours, Amik. Winnsboro, June 8, 1885. ITEMS FROM SIMP SOX. Messrs. Editors: As you have re-> quested dots from different sections 01 the county, we have concluded to send you a few from this section. On Saturday the Fairfield Union held its meeting with fiormah church, located near this point. Several churches were represented through their delegates. At the appointed hour, the body convened, was called to order by the former Moderator. The names of the delegates were enrolled and the body was organized by the election of Dr. Boyd Moderator, and Mr. Edmunds, Secretary. The introductory sermon was preached by yBflj?flDKJfc?235ti3S?BBkX33E&B3SHBS"8SSSflfl5SaSS8fl3Hi the Rev. B. F. Corley. After recess of one hour, and dinner, which the iadies of the community had prepared for the delegates and visitors, the body re-convened and proceeded to business. Queries were freely and fully discussed by Dr. Boyd, Mr. Edmunds, and the Rev. Messrs. Bradford, Mellichamp and Corley. after which the body adjourned to inpfif ftorflin nil Snml.iv tnnrninw. Sab bath School addresses were delivered by the JLlev. T. W. Mellichamp and Mr. H. Edmunds. The missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. 0. G. Bradford, which was listened to with the strictest attention, after which a collection was taken up for the purpose of defraying the expenses of State missions. The Union then adjourned to meet with Concord church on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in August. The iate rains have improved vegetation wonderfully in this section. Crops that have been worked are looking well, but farmers must be up and doing, or "Gen. Green" with his forccs (which he is marshalling) will get the advantage. Small grain crops are doing well; stands of corn not as good in places as we would like to see, but where worked is looking fine. Stands of cotton good, and laborers doing better than usual. "We have every prospect for a fine-crop of fruit. Gardens are doing pretty well. To sum up, this section has no reason to complain. All that is necessarrv is a plenty of work and al tlie right time* by which, we mean, all the time, until the crop is laid by. Delegate. June 2, 1SS5. ITEMS FROM HO HE P.. Messrs. Editors: I do not feel spe-' ciallv charged with the duty of keep-; ing the public posted in llcreb mat-; ters, but as you kindly published mv j last communication, and as I see notli- J ing* in your last issue from any one else in this quarter. J thought a few ; dots might be acceptable. By the way, i allow me to ask if your typographer is I not responsible for the word "Sunday" i in my last? Things are moving along here much after the old style, and j judging from appearances, some of | our fanners must have moved clear! away from their cotton fields, for "GenJ! Green" has come in and taken possession, and -it is going to take rapid moving, wise manceuvering and per sistent strategy to aisiocige 111s noraes, and don't yon forget it. Another week like the last would make matters serious, but ten days of sunshine, such as we are having to-day, and a proper distribution of hoe and plow forces, will leave his army scattered and dying on the field. Spring chickens are ripening and a^ ff>w hnvo nlrpnrlv hf>en nulled. 'BeailS and Irish potatoes are here, hard head cabbages are seen in the near future and the blackberry crop, which in frecdmen's parlance is called the public lien, bids fair to be abundant, and the | wheat, what is of it, will soon be ready for the reaper, aucl then we expect to have pies and things. So you see the prospect brightens at the approach of summer, if winter did lag and fairly freeze out her fair sister spring. The oats crop has been greatly improved hv tVio rACAnt wet snell. but in mv judgment cannot exceed half ofjjkj average crop. Your correspondent* mentioned Mr. Ashford's field of'JJ. J land corn as being fine. Our young i farmer friend John McCain also lias aj flourishing field of the same, which | has been neatly worked, and with lavorable seasons will make a. fine yield. Our people seem to be slowly but surely waking up to the fact that we cannot cat cotton seed. There is still some sickncss among us, and the grim monster Death rides triumphantly through our fair land, carrying out the divine- fiat, "Dust " " A- J- -i- ~K-.fi. I tnou an anu umo uu^i sua.iL muu | return". The pastor of Fairfield Circuit, Rev. J. K. McCain, has been kept | quite. busy for the last week or two visiting the sick and burying the dead. Very few deaths, however, have occurred in our immediate neighborhood ?two aged colored women and one colored child since I wrote you last. In this connection let me say I have seen no mention in your columns of the death of Mrs. Craig, of Rockton, Mrs. John Hendrix nor Mrs. Jane Robinson. The latter-named died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. j George Seigier, near BIythewood, on the 16th ult., in the eighty-eighth year of her age. She was in some respects a very remarkable woman. Iler memory reached back to within a few years of the American revolution. She lived to see the grandchildren of her grandc'nildreen several years before her death, and her immediate posterity number about one hundred aud forty. Her life was an illustration of the truth of God's word, and "she was strong in faith, giving glorv to God". She J !t - C A | was a consistent nieiLium ui wjo aaoy ciatc Reformed Presbyterian church for, I suppose, three scprc and ten years. J. Juue 1, ISSo.

Fntornrieoc kUigbtfi nwiwi uiibijjuuuw of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in the early days of emigration to California, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- j age, of an obstinate disease by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Leland has recommended | Ayer's Saesaparilla in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its failure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Sir. Leiajsd's farm laborers bruised ins leg. owing to tne Daa j state of liis blood, an ngly scrofulous swelling ' or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor- j rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting rains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enormously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. 2Zo treatment was of any avail until tie man, by Mr. Le land's direction, was supplied with Ayer's Sars a parill a, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. Lelaxd has personally used Ayer's Sars?parilla for Rheumatism, with entire success; and, after careful observation, declares that, ia Lis belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all tho various forms of blood diseases. "We have Mr. Le land's permission to invite all who may desire farther evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of Ayee's Saesapaeilla to see him personally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 2Sth Streets, New York. Mr. Lelaxd's extensive knowledge of the j good done by this unequalled cradicator of j blood poisons enables him to give inquirers i much valuable information.
