the local editor of The News and
Hekald." We beg leave to assure
our friend that we are greatly obliged
for his kindness. 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

exciting as individual members were
dropped from the list of contestants.
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

The prizes were delivered with ap-.
propriatc remarks by Mr. H. N. Obear.
The speaker dwelt at length upon the
importance of military organization,
the part which they had played in the
history of the world, etc. They had
made and unmade empires; they had
preserved in national crisis the public

The ceremonies of the occasion were
appropriately concluded with a grand
ball, iu which the clash of arms, if not
bloody, was at least energetic, and in
which civilians vied with soldiers in
generous rivalry.
A number of young men from Rock
Hill, Chester and Columbia were present

.. ..J
The graiul jury for the county of
Fairfield respectfully make the following
presentment of their actings and
doings during the June Term, 1885, of
the Court of General Sessions for said
county:
We have duly considered all the
bills of indictment submitted to us by
the Solicitor, and made presentment
accordingly.
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.
We have examined the b <oks of

reported to be- not in good'condition.
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.

This report was received and the

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Warren Leland,
whom everybody knoTTO as the successful
manager of the
I arrrcof Unfo! 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.
