In the Trial Justice Court.? On last Saturday the case against Sterling Dixon charged with breach of contract was heard. The testimony | being rather voluminous and the argu ; ment of counsel very full the trial consumed the entire day. As soon as an | opportunity presented itself the Trial ! Justice announced that the defendant I was guiltv.

All those j 3 i who are in need of a certificate are | advised to be on hand, as the board of j examiners have decided to grant no I more private examinations. Ax Interesting Puzzle.?The junior j editor of The News and IIeralp has invented one of the most unique puz i zles that we have ever seen, n Dcais j the celebrated "fifteen" all to pieces. | Several gentlemen have already worked ; at it until they were worn completely i out, but the efforts of none have j as yet been crowned with success.

Nowhere else would the memories of the past rise so vividly before them. No other place could be selected where they might more appropriately pay tribute to the imperishable gallantly of their fallen comrades. Will not the railroads' generously make it possible for to go? Personal.?Messrs. John M. Hope and W. M. Allison, of Yorkville, were in town last Saturday. Representative Rutland was in town on Monday. Miss Belle McClung, of Lexington, Virginia, is visiting friends in (own. The Rev. "V7. A. M. Plaxico, of Lancaster, was in town on last Satnadav and filled the pulpit of the Rev. Jno. T. Chalmers. The Rev. C. E. MfcDonakl, of Steele Creek, N. C., is spending a few day in town. The Farming Interests.?Reports from different sections of the county indicate a flattering prospect in the coming crops. Cotton has for the most part been chopped out, stands are excellent, the plant is growing rapidly and if the seasons from this time onward are favorable, an extraordinarily large yield may confidently be expected. Upland corn also, where j 1 i I me same xias ueeu piupci i v tuui<aicu, bids fair to disprove the hypothesis that this cereal cannot be success fully cultivated upon the hills of this latitude. Death of Mr. Jas. W. Farmer.? Mr. James W. Farmer, a well known citizen of thi$ county, died on last Friday night. He had been in most vigorous health, but was taken ill about ten days before his death, with some internal disorder which baffled medical skill. Mr. Farmer had always been a man of great physical vigor, and had almost uninterruptedly enjoyed most excellent health. He was a farmer by occupation, and had the high regard of his friends and neighbors. He was a member and an ' * ? -3 - ? A XT ~it assistant siewara 01 -asoury jamuudist Church, in this county, where the funeral services were held on Saturday last. Mr. Farmer left a widow two grown sons and one married daughter?Mrs. Dunn, now of Greenville. A Petition foe Executive Clem* exct.?A petition to the Governor asking for the unconditional pardon of Todie Boyd and the commutation of the sentence of Allen Boyd as if he had been onlv convicted of manslau<?h tcr is now receiving signatures. These parties, it will be remembered, were convicted ot murder at the last term of Court and sentenced by Judge Witherspoon to be executed on the 24th of July next. The petition has been signed by the entire bar, all of the Court House officials and a number of other gentlemen. It wili receive a favorable recommendation from the presiding Judge as well as the Solicitor. Counsel for the defendants will perhaps call on Governor Thompson at an early day and lay the matter before him. Deaths.?Mr. Keuben Boulware, a valuable citizen of this county, was I * I found dead in his bed on last "Wednes day morning. It is thought that he died of apoplexy, as he was stricken with paralysis two or three years ago and had only partially recovered. The deceased was about fifty years of age, served gallautly through the late war, and leaves many friends to mourn his j departure. Mr. Thomas McKinstry died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. W. P. Gibson, on Wednesday evening. He was stricken with paralysis while on a visit there several months ago, and has been lingering ever since. He was j about seventy-seven years of age, and ; throughout his long life has <riven his country the service of a good citizen. He was a prominent and consistent member of the Methodist church, and represented this county in the Legislay * tare daring the war. He leaves a large circle of friends and a ndmber of children to mourn his loss. Cool Biiaxch Suxdat School.? Some days ago we receiveda communication giving a very entertaining account of the exercises of the SundaySchool of Coui Branch Baptist Church, and some other matters of {local interest. Unfortueately, the manuscript was put away so carefully that it has not since been found. "We are sorry for this, as the article was from the pen of a ,rgentleman whose contributions to The News and JIerald are always read with pleasure, and because it is always gratifying to [hear of the success of men like James F. V. Legg. As superintendent of the Cool Branch Sunday School Capt. Legg has done much good work, and the fruit of his industry is plainly seen in the excellent candition of the institution under his charge. Tiie Firemens' Inspection.- -The Steam Fire Engine Company and the Stonewalls' were on parade Tuesday evening and attracted a good deal of attention. They were thoroughly in spccted by the Town Council and found to be all "O. K." The inspection being over the former company repaired tu the Court House where they enjoyed/refreshments and held an election for officers. The following gentleman were elected: President?T. II. Ketchin. 1st Director? II. B. McMaster. 2nd Direcior? L. Samuels. 3rd Director? \V. J. Elliott. 4th Director?J. P. Caldwell. Solicitor?J. E. McDonald. Secretary and Treasurer ? H. E. Ketchin.

The Law of Sklf Defense.?The old law of self defence required the as- i sailed to "retreat to the wall'' before striking down his assailant. The: deliverances, however, of modern tribunals of highest authority, seem to ! modify this stern doctrine formulating as they do, the principle, that owing to the improvement which .science has wrought in death-dealing instruments, the assailed is at the wall when attacked. When ones antagonist draws a pistol, a sword or a dynamite cartridge or any other deadly weapon, one is justified 111 resorting to extreme defensive measures. There is also another instance in which a class of meu do frequently take their lives iu their own hands?we refer to the pratice of the book agent in going to ones place of business, squaring himself in spite of discourgements, and delivering the usual "set speech." It is just as bad to talk a man to death as it is to beat him to death, the result is the same, and we wish it to be understood that we are acquainted with the law in this office and hereafter we expect to stand on our legal rights. Systematic Swindling. ? Click's Novelty Company didn't make very much money while here, nor did they on the other hand pay out very much. Their hotel bill.was entirely neglected. The majority of the company went off on Sunday leaving one Putnam behind with instructions to liquidate all indebtedness, but this gentleman turned out to be no sort of a financier and did not accomplish the laudable purpose which detained him by any means. He arose early on Monday morning and was observed by a fellow boarder to tilt his empty pocket book out of his window. He then walked over to Urt ,*I A?Af 4-r\ nelr rrrKon tho UiU uupui- tvy ooa u nou liiv nvi^iiK would be along and came back in a few minntes in great trouble about his pocket book, tbe gentleman who had picked it np advised him to shut up, as soon as possible, reminding him at the same time that better men than himself had been more tha?: once hung on slighter provocation. The Novelty man canght on,and moved for Chester at once. We learn that a shower of "bad eggs" fell on the company there on Monday night. A dispensation of the sort every evening wonld help them. "We hope they may receive it. Tf la CoM That the times are now dull everywhere ; That the moonlight stroll will soon be in order; That more credit has been given this year than last; That there will probably be a crowd in town to-day; That the girls who are off at school will soon be home; That there is much dancing in Boag's Hall these evenings; That non-debt-paying men are now greatly in the majority; That the Board of Health will not lack subject matter for their next report ; That it does not make man look any less like the Chimpanzee to shave all his hair off; That heavy washing rains fell in some sections of the county on last Tuesday night; That there are a good many tramps as well as mad dogs knocking around in this county at present. The Teachers' Association. The Teachers' Association met on Saturday the 13th inst., at Mt. Zion Institute. A number of teachers from various section of the county were present as well as a number of visitors whose interest in educational matters found a timely and appropriate expression in their attendance upon this occasion. The association was called to order about 11 o'clock a. ra., by the President, Dr. Willard Richardson, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, other business of minor importance was transancted and the first speaker of th? day, Mr. E. B. ltagsdale was introduced. After a few remarks of apology for failing to meet with the association on a former Sir occasion, tfie~speafcef proceededTto de^ liver an address on {1The study of law as a means of education." Pointing out the fact that the reign 01 law iu the physical universe, organic and anorganic is supreme. The speaker proceeded to argue that moral and social j phenomena are also under the denomi- j nation of fixed laws; that our knowledge of phenomena is limited to j the laws by which they are governed a ad , that a study of these laws served the dual purpose of developing the faculties of the intellect and of preparing the individual for after life. It was? j also argued that a knowledge of tire ! elementary principles of municipal I law was essential and should be taught I tVio iVt?o (nhnnU. AIJ After the close of the address there were discussions upon various educational topics, participated in by a number of the members present. Prof. Witherow, of Chester, who was present < was repeatedly called upon for an i address and taking- the floor for the purpose of excusing himself, that gentleman before taking his seat delivered a very instructive address upon the j subject of county institutes. The imj portance of such organizations to educational progress has been a subject I of thought to the Professor, and be J urged the matter upon the attention of j the association in a brief but forcible j argument. An amendment to the * ? -1 1 fXi? I scqchji law was u&gcu) pivTiuiug ?v? ! holding county institutes* in each j connty in the State, at the beginuing j of each school year, the session to con1 tinne two weck6, and the teachers i attending to be allowed full pay for j the time. The plan meets, it is said, the i approval of educators and only awaits legislative action. . j Dr. Willard Richardson next took ; the floor and delivered an address upon "the study of grammar." The ; speaker contended that the subject should receive the early attention of the pupil and thought that if the proper methods were pursued, the subjcct might be successfully taught to primary classes. Prof. B. R. Turnipseed was next 1 J _ 3* iL. called ana proceeded to cuscus* me tbree-cornered subject parent,pupil and tcacher? their proper relation, their mutual obligations, etc. With a precision of thought tliat Is for the most part habitual with teachers, the speaker compared his subject to an isosceles triangle and enforced the simile with a cogency of reasoning that was itself suggestive of mathematics. It is to be regretted that there were not more parents in the audience to avail themselves of an opportunity of learning something of the duties and responsibilities which devolve upon them in the great work of training the youth. At the close of Prof. Turnipseed's remarks several business matters of more or less importance were transacted and the association adjourned to meet again in September. DOTS FROM BLTTJSEWOOD. Messrs. Editors: Every week while reading your most excellent paper feel disappointed to see that our little town is never spoken of, and if it is agreeable to you I have decided to make the attempt to fill a small space in your paper so as to let you know that we are still in the land of the living. We have some grass, but if we have " * *- T a tew more aays 01 sunsmne a uuuk we will get rid of the most of it. Oar crops are grelty good, considering the late spring. We can brag on cotton squares, which I think is pretty good for this date. The grain crops are better than we expected them to be, and the rich golden stalks are beginning to dot oar fields. Nearly all that has been cat so tar is wheat. We can boast of a real nice and growing debating club. The last debate was held on Friday evening, and the subject discussed was, "Resolved, that the sword is more powerful than the pen," and was decided in favor of the negative. We have also had two occasions lor orange blossoms. One week ago at the residence of Mr. Anthony Brown Miss Christmass was married to Mr. James Gladden by Trial Justice Entzminger. Also, on Thursday evening, at the residence of the bride's mother, Miss Jennie Trapp to Mr. Aaron Smith, also by Mr. Entzmiuger. Our frnit is turning and a fine lot we hope to have soon. l. ITEMS FROM CEDAJt CREEK. Messrs. Editors: After so long a time I send you a few more items. Crops are, 8s a general thing, looking tolerably well, considering the terrible warfare that has been waging between the industrious farmers and General Green. I believe the latter * v l.a - r Win De suojugaieu 111 a jew u??b, although some of his adversaries thought for a while that they should have to surrender some of the posts. Fortunately assistance came and the General was defeated. Some of our farmers are harvesting. They say their wheat is very good. Oats not good, but better than they expected them to be. We had a heavy rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning that caused the creek to overflow and damage corn and oats to some extent. Mrs. Fannie Hendrix, who spent the winter and spring with relatives in Florida, returned a short time since. Since our last letter, we have been called upon to mourn the loss of Mrs. Elizabeth Hendrix. She left a husband and seven children. She was buried at Pine Grove church, the funeral services being preached by the Rev. J. K. McCain. Mrs. Janie Dunlap, who has been suffering with rheumatism in her right shoulder and arm for three years, has entirely lost the use of it. She is under medical treatment, but does not derive much benefit therefrom. x. ?Ayer's Sarsaparilla operates radically upon and through the blood, and is a* safe, reliable and absolute cure for the various diseases, complaints and disorders, due to debility, or to any constitutional taint or infection. * ( - " v * * ?* . ^^ * f WtmmamatamamasaBKSammmsaaeBmMm U~ mstes TJSOJr STROTWETt. Messrs. Editors: It has been my intention and wish to drop you a line for weeks, and even months, but in tbis busy world of ours waiting is always unavoidable. It affords me sincere gratification to state that the prospect of a corn and cotton crop is most promising. Soon after we had finished "chopping out" we were blessed with a glorious, lifegiving rain, which was sadly needed, aud have since had delightful rains, which were not only of incalculable benefit to crops and gardens, but cooled the atmosphere, making it delightful for all who had been complaining of the intense heat. Mr. E. R. Vann closed his (public) school with an examination and exhibition, and his pupils acquitted themselves most creditably. The patrons of the Rock Creek School give bim all nmiw fhr hie nnrtiMiior efforts | I' ? o I advance the children under his charge. I note what you say in you last edition regarding sickness in the county. "We have had our full share in this neighborhood. Rarely has there been so much complaint as early in the season. Summer cpme suddenly, and the heat was overpowering almost the entire month of May. Our colored friends have felt the effects of exposure during the winter, and there has been great fatality among them this spring. On several occasions there have been two funerals (colored) the same day at Rock Creek. Our jnnior editor and his fair bride must accept the heartfelt congratulations of friends and acquaintances in this portion of Fairfield. May their career be as prosperous and satisfactory as that of our Democratic President. Don't smile at the late day at YYJJIVsU UIOIIV/O Ui H/UUVyiV l'j 4V/A they are none the less sincere. No mention has beeu made in your ! paper of the disastrous wind and hail- j storm in the Monticello neighborhood. Great damage was done to crops, and several parties had to replant. The roaring was such that it was thought j there was a cyclone approaching, and those who had pits made a.rush for them, to remain secluded till the clouds passed by. Not having beeu an eyewitness to the panic I must qualify the above by the most expressive phrase: "On diV\ It will be well to establish a precedent for darkies who beat their children so unmercifully, bat we all hope the sentence of those poor creatures condemned to death will be commuted to imprisonment for life. No picnics, parties or anything to relieve the monotony of onr humdrum existence. Should anything of interest transpire in our community your correspondent will apprise you of it.

L. KENARD, where they will receive prompt attention. 31. Li. EDTABD. Colombia, STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF FAIRFIELD. By J. R BOYLES, Esq"., Probate Judge. WHEREAS, W. H. KERR, C. C. C.
