?The annual meeting of the Agri- j

Society, of Chester, York, Lancaster I
! and Fairfield counties has been post- j
poncd from the 4th to loth of August. I
! This change was made on account of;
the Agricultural meeting at I?enncts- i

citizens attendin g the reunion of the j
6th and 12th Regiments on the battle- j
field-? of Virginia.
?Owing to the death of Prof. Dart, i
of Columbia, whose services had been j

There will probably be no institute

school commissioner nas written 10 scv-1
eral other edcators, offeering them the |
position of principle of the institute, j
but up to this time none have signified i
their intention of accepting.
Ax Early Crop.?One of the older I
farmers of this county informs its that I
on the 28th of July, thirty-five years j
ago, one of his laborers picked from i
his cotton field one hundred pounds of
cotton. He adds, however, that he j
has 110 intention of doing1 the like this |

Female College has always ranked |
among the best in the 5tate, and the j

The . Columbia "Recoild"'. ? The
Dailv llecord is the name of a new !
evening paper just started in Columbia, j
The numbers that have reached us in- ]
dicate that it will be a newsy, sprightly I
and vigorous paper, worthy of the confidence
and support of tha people of
Columbia. These we trust it will have
to such an extent as to make the paper
one of the institutions of the city. Mr.
Emhyi, wiio is the managoi-, is one of |
the most deserving men in ths State.
. !\Vho Wiks??ITiere are, according
to reports, an umber of peddler sin the
county just' now-who are. selling on
credit rather indiscriminately and
without security. Some people are
laughing at innocence abroad, but it
strikes us that it may be all right after
all. We remember to have heard a
gentleman of that profession say, that
it was sometimes necessary to sell a
darkey a five dollar suit for ten dollars
and. wait on Mm- for five. = . . ;
Sharp Agents.?The county is at
j present full of agents, and they are
said 10 be doing- a lively business. We
are informed;that it is a favorite expedient
among; them," in order \ to sell
their wares,>o make at the time of sale
as many verbal statements as may be
needful, varying indefinitely the terms'
of-writterr agreements, that are entered
into at the'same. "We take this occasion
therefore to remind the unwary
that they must stand 01* fall by the
' writing. In case of action, no evidence
would be received to vary or contradict
it.
A Timely Donation.?By the mere
dint of perseverance the "Court House
King" had succeeded in wearing oul all
of ..their benches. No straDger can
adequately appreciate the inconvenience
that resulted. The transaction
of business had come almost to a stand
gtill. This was the condition of af-j
fairs a few nights ago, when some]
unknown party brought a couple of
new benches and put them down in
* '-i. tt mi. ?

anonymous gentleman as a testimonial:
of the high regard which he entertains*1
for the aforesaid "Ring."

Toby Brown and Jim Hill, all colored \
men of the western section .of the!
county, got into a triangular tignt one
dav last week and the whole trio are
/
said to have been worsted. It seems
that hostilities had commenced each
come to think that he was under
special obligation to wh o the other j
two, and thus the fight became hope- i
lessly mixed. All of them arc sup- j
posed to have been satisfied at the!
close of the engagement. They were j
brought before Trial Justice Douglass j
on last Friday, charged with assault :
and battery, iionrv wicker ana 1 uuy j
Brown were found guilty and sentenced
to twenty-live clays' imprison- j
raent in the county jail. Tliey are now j
inmates of that institution.
Go Bv All Means..?It is to be
hoped that the Gordon Light Infantry,
of this place will acccpt the invitation j
of the Survivors to accompany them !
on ihe excursion to Richmond. They |
would doubtless enjoy the trip and it j
is certain that the Survivors and their '
friends would greatly appreciate their
company. Besides, it is understood j
that the other military companies that |
were invited have declined to <jo. and j
this furnishes an additional reason why !
the Grordons should <jo. The militia of j
the State must be represented. None j
could suggest a more fit representative i

promise.
evertboprs Target.? The best !
abused man in ai*y community is the ,
newspaper man. He is the common j
target for the shafts of public ridicule. |
He is expected to please, and the con-j
sequence is he never pleases aynbody, j
and onr experience is that he proves!
himself a fac simile of that character;
which Solomon seemed to nave sncn a
spite at, if he tries. No matter what
this gentleman of the press does,
somebody finds fault. If Mrs. A has a
fine baby boy. which the editor mentions
in connection with the Presidency
and forgets to say that Mrs. B.
has one of equally promising prospects
the last mentioned lady's nose is completely
dislocated on account of this
unpardonable editorial negligence.
He has critics and critics and critics,
and the only thing that the much
abused editor can do is to walk up and
down the 'street, write up what don't
happen, and leave his enemies a wide
berth and a monopoly of naughty expletives.

Scitool Trustees and the Jury
Law.?"VYe have received from several
[ sources rp^oine^ . to. .wlietner tne
i nnblicschool trustees are exempt from
cattle and other live stock. Now we
j do not intend to attempt to reach
fiirmere and stock raisers how to succecd
in their several callings, but we
believe that it is the duty of a newspaper
to furnish information of every
kind to its readers that will assist them
iu.their efforts and thus promote the
general welfare of ^our county and
State. We believe that our readers
; will all agree that a thoroughbred
j animal is more valuable than a scrub,
I therefore they should endeavor to improve
their stock whenever an opportunity
presents itself. As an. item of
news to those interested in this subject
we say that a fine opportunity now
I presents itself as the thoroughbred
i horse "Hermit" is now in town. This
! horse is descended from a long line of
famons racers, and he has made for
himself a fine record as a racer on
"1
Northern and Southern race tracks,
lie is dark bay with beautiful shaped
body, clean and well-mnscled limbs,
good evidence of speed and endurance.

G. B. Dunn.
The V. M. T. "Bomb"'.?"We have
before us a copy of the V. M. I.
Bomb, an annual issued by the corps
of cadets of the Virginia Military In- j
" ' * ' ^ - mi. T.,r.*T I
stitute at jLexington, va. mis msu-1
tute has long been one of the most
important factors in Southern education.
From the fact that from the j
J
ranks of its eleve officers for nearly
one-tenth of the Confederate armies
were drawn gives it a just right to be
styled the "West Point of the South".
When the war ended this institution
was one of the first to offer opportunities
to Southern boys for the attainment
of abroad, liberal and practical
education. How the Southern people
have appreciated these advantages can
be decided by referring to the catalogues
in which appear the names of
cadets from nearly every Southern
Slate. This Bomb is published annually
by the corps for the friends of the
corps of cadets, and necessarily contains
much that is uninteresting .to the
casual reader, but to those who have*
not forgotten when they were boys it
contains much that is interesting. It
is handsomely illustrated with a uuin- ;
ber of finely executed engravings and ;
with pictures of the lithe and active i

them upon their success* and ;
we hope thai it may be a thousand j

Executive Clemency.
A telegram on Tuesday from Gov-1
Oi-nnr Thnmnson. announced that he i
had commuted the sentence of Allen j'
Boyd from death to imprisonment for i
life in the penitentiary, and that lie!
had granted an absolute and nncon- <
ditional pardon to hi&' wife, Todie
Boyd. It will he remembered that at
tiie last term of the Court of General
Session?, they were charged with i
cruelly beating their child Fannie,
from i he effects of which she died a few
weeks after. The jury found them
guilty of murder, and recommended
them to the mercy of the Court, bcliev- ;
ing, as we are informed, that such :
recommendation would enable the pre- (
siding Judge to pass the sentenee of <
imprisanment for life; but he had no :
discretion in the matter. Counsel for '
defendants, Messrs. Douglass & Mc- ,
Donald, applied for exacutive clem- 1
ency to the Governor for the commutation
of the sentence of Allen Boyd to ,
imprisonment for life in the peniten- ;
tiarv, and an absolute pardon for his <
wife, Todie Boyd. In support of the
above application, a petition signed by
al! the members of the bar, county J
officials, and other pr<?minet citizens
of the county was submitted and accompanying'
said petition a statement
of facts and reasons underlying' Ttre~-J
application was also submitted; a state- 1
ment by the Circuit Judge and Solicitor
in which the recommendation was
made that the sentence of Allen Boyd
be commuted to imprisonment in the ]
penitentiary for life, and that Todie J
Boyd be imprisoned for a term not .
exceeding five years: Judge Wither- i
spoon subsequently submitted, through
nnnncol a ctotomenf for
lilt; UCJ-OliUCill CO WUUOV1 tv 0bW(,vM>vu W *v.
the Governor in which he acknowledged
that at the trial he entertained very ;
grave doubts of the guilt of Todie
Boyd, but in this letter he refrained
from making any recommendation
whatever. In addition to the above,
counsel forwarded to the Governor a
number of affidavits, all of which tended
to sfiow that Todie Boyd neither
had any connection with or sympathy
for the cruel treatment of which Allen
Boyd was alleged to have been guilty
of. Some of the affiants deposed that
on several occasions Todie Boyd had
left her husband, Allen Boyd, on account
"of hts treatment of the girl.
One of the affidavits states the fact that
one occasion Todie Boyd actually pre
vented her husband from beating the
deceased with a chair. Other of the
affidavits supported in strong terms
the good character of the defendant,
Todie Boyd- These facts were not
known at the time of the trial, and
consequently were not brought to
light. Upon this showing, as has
heretofore been stated, the Governor
has issued his officialsrder in which he
granted to Todie Boyd, an immediate
pardon, and a commutation of the seni
tence of Allen Boyd to imprisonment
in the penitentiary for life.
They received the news of executive
j interference with evident emotions of
joy. The day sctapartfor their execution
Friday 24th inst., was drawing near,
and notwithstanding the assnrances^of
their counsel and from other of their
friends they were, nevertheless, growing
more nervous and more skeptical
with each succeeding day.
We have no hesitation in saying that
the action of the Governor will meet
with the hearty approval of the best
citizens of the county.

The fuels of this dreadful (?) occurrence
are stated as follows by a correspondent
of the Netcs and Courier:
Alston, July 22.?Yesterday Miss
Dora Fowler, about fourteen years old,
went to the spring to <:et a bucket of
water. A young colored man named
Shell was at the spring and had his hat
in the spring. The young lady asked
him to take Iris hat out of the spring.
?T J : J it- I
lie cursea ner unci iuiu nui iu wn\c n
out herself if she wanted it out. Very
naturally the girl was frightened She
made haste to fill her bucket. As she
came out from the spring Shell jumped
at her and frightened her. Her mother,
hearing her screams, asked her
what was the matter. Miss Fowler
replied that a negro was after her.
Mrs. Fowler called her son Pink Fowler,
and sent him to the spring. Shell
was still at the spring and his hat was
still in the water. He cursed young
Eowler, who struck him a very severe
blow on the head. Dr. J. M. Gienn
dressed tho wound. In the afternoon
James bhell, the father of the boy and
another of his sons, went to Mrs. Fowler's
and inquired into the case. They
left making threats of what they intended
to do. The father said that lie
knew all abont the law. I hear that
be went with t-'ic Doy wno was sirncs
this morning to Winnsboro to get out
a, warrant for Pink Fowler. Pink
Fowler also went to Winnsboro to find
out whether young and innocent girls
have no rights that can be protected.
He acted on the impulse of tht moment
and should be commended for his conduct.

place in toe statistics throughout most I
of the States, indicating a certain new- J
ncss in the development of Southern |
resources, but there is a significant
multiplication of flour mills, especially*
noticeable in Texas. Machine shopsl
and works for the manufacture of
agricultural implements are gradually
multiplying. Stoue quarries^ marble
works, brickyards and the- factories
appear among the new establishments
of several States. Among the mining
industries, aside from coal and iron,
there is gold mining -in Arkansas,
Georgia and South Carolina, silver in
Kentucky, copper in North Carolina
and tin Virginia. There is no statement
of any increase in cotton manufacture,
whieh seems to have shared
in the depression from which the
Northern mills have been suffering.
