Let us have a show of Fair- j field's fine stock. ?The gasoline lamps which have ] been on trial by the Council have been ( removed. They gave an excelicnt 1 ligfct and in every way met the ap- ? ? . 1 proval of the Council, but the price was rather large and they felt it would ; be spending most too much when the ; old lamps could be used.

C. Bacot, of the firm of Messrs. R. J. McCarley & Co., has just returned from a business (rip to the North, where he has made most satisfactory arrangements for large shipments of cotton. These gentlemen have extended their business, and Mr. Bacot will leave for Darlington in a few days, to take charge of their office at that place.

Dunn as principals, and a full corps of efficient teachers. There is propect of a large attendance and with these talented instructors there is no reason why this should not be made one of the first schools in the State. "We hope that the Mount Zion Society will do their best to aid in this work. ?The proprietors of the the popular restaurant Old Fort McAllister, true to their word, put the first oysters of the season on the market on Tuesday. It was thought by some that this was on effort to force the season, as the weather was rather warm, nevertheless, there were a goodly number on hand who were willing to take the chances, and they have no reason to regret. The dining room of the establishment has been newlv furnished with neat furniture, raid the polite proprietors attend to the wants of their guests with unswerving fidelity. The thanks of this office are due to them for a special invitation to partake of the succulent bivalve on this occasion. Besides oysters, all the delicacies of the season will be kept on hard, and served in the best style to the guests. Personal.?Airs. J. E. Gilbert, of J (jaltney City, is on a visit to leiauvcs j and friends in town. Mr. Mil'ett has returned to town after an absence of several months in Xew York city. Dltv ok Tkiai. Justices.?The trial i justices of the county will do well to I remember that under the law they arc j required to send up their papers ten days before Court. It is but little mo than that time until the meeting I of Court and we arc informed that j very few papers have been sent in. They will do well to keep this in mind j and send them in at an early day. Anothki: Boardkr.? Sheriff MeCarley received another boarder on Monday night in the person ot Belton j Tobias, ilc is charged witn unrgiary and larceny. lie has intimated that some other paities were with him when he broke in Mr. Blair's store situated 011 the line of theSpartanburge j & Union Railroad, and the constable I who brought him down expects to j have the ot^ier parties down in :i few ! days. As (he time for Court up-! preaches criminals increase. A Fok.mek Citizen of Faiufield j IIoxoiied.?The many friends of Mr. j W. II. Lylcs, will be pleased to learn of his nomination to fill the seat in the Legislature made vacant by the resignation of Gen. Youmans. Mr. Lylcs j was formerly a citizen of Fairfield, j where he has a host of faiends who j arc always glad to hear of his success, i lie now ranks as one of the leading I members of the capital bar and will i doubtless fill the position to which lie aspires with honor to himself and liis county. a D\?t\ifnr.y Deed.?As the down freight train which arrives at this place about half-past three a. in., was passing a point about a mile above Blackstock, four negro men were standing near the road one of whom fired into the conductor's cab. One of the train hands, sitting in the side door,narrow-1 ly cscaped the bullet, as^it lodged in ! the side of the door. No efforts should j be spared to bring these guilty parties to justice. The fact of being out at that time of night shows that they were up to no good. It is to be hoped that they will be captured, and that justice meted out to them which this da=tardlv deed so well deserves. . | Deaths.?It is with feelings of the j deepest regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Mary E. Roddy, of this county, which occurred on Tuesday last. She had been in failing health ; for some time with that dread disease : iwisnmntiou. but her friends did not j think the end so near. She was a; daughter of the late John Simonton, ' and from her early childhood had been j a member of New Hope church. She I i was kind and gentle and her whole life ! exemplified the true woman in its; broadest sense. She leaves a son and j two daughters, besides a host of friends, I to mourn her loss. To these be-j reavedfriends we cxlcnd our heartfelt j sympathy in this their hour of afflic- j tiou. Mr. William Tongue, of thiscountv, j ilied on last "Wednesday. He was a I soldier in the late war and was a mem- j ber of Company G, Sixth Regiment. ?* ? Cj t'T> JTIk-* I lU?b'l'lAOr ur A'AliJXC.no WJUiyi.. JIi.u regular monthly meeting of this club was called to order by the President at 12 M., oh Monday. Xo quorum being- present, the club adjourned to meet 011 the 1st Monday in October. This failure of a quorum to be present, at an important meeting: of their club, is on evidence of that deplorable lack Df interest and enterprise among- the farmers of Fairfield. Every one admits the fact that concentration of thought and action is needed among the farmers, yet when a movement, such as this, which must inevitably result in good to all is set on foot, the farmers, the men most interested, allow the movement to come to naught, [t is time that the farmers awaken from their sleep and profiting by the examples set by more enterprising brethren make some effort to better their condition.

Colored Regulators. ?.On last Fridry night about the hour of midnight, the house of Satn Bricc, in the Jackson Creek neighborhood, was visited by an armed mob to wreak vengeance upon him for one cause or another. It is said that they called Sam to the door, but instead of opening to thorn, he went to a crack to parley with the mob. No satisfaction being given, the mob proceeded to break down the door and fired upon the inmates. Sam was shot in both legs. One story says that some guano was stolen, which excited the righteous indignation of the colored brethren, who it seems have determined to take the morals of that communitv in their own charge. The other story alleges that Sam's two daughters were not examples in any way to the community, the colored mob preceeded to impound moral ideas into them through the agency of lead. Sam says he recognized four of them undisguised. A hearing has been given and three men have been committed. A further hearing will be had today when further developments arc expected. Wedding Bells.?Rev. J. R. Mc.. Alpine, of York county, and Miss Lula Elliott, daughter of Mr. H. L. fr* 1114.t waha ~\\TArlorr nnifor? in C.1UUU, WC1C ViJ M tuntouu; umtvu >U the holy bonds of matrimony. Promptly at the appointed hour, 11A o'clock, the bride and groom appeared and were married by the Rev. Jno. T. Chalmers in a beautiful and well chosen ceremony. A large number of the friends of the bride and groom were present who congratulated them with the heartiest good-will and wishes for future happiness. The presents were many and varied, all being beautiful anu valuable indeed. Refreshments came and a* quickly disappeared, when nil mingled in animated conversation and all went merry to the end. Every one enjoyed the occasion to the utmost. But every joy lias its sorrow, and Winnsboro will sorely miss this beautiful and lovable bride. What is onr loss is Mr. Me Alpine's gain, who is to be congratulated in gaining his worthy bride. Thev left on the north-bound train for their future home in York, followed by the best wishes of a host of friends. May happiness attend them through the voyage of life, and may Providence shower upon them its richest blessings. Dull Timks.?The r?oro is in need of something new to stir it up. Merchants, lawyers and mechanics are gradually sinking inlo a hopeless state of inertia. If is better to wear out than to rust out, but it seems that we have determinded to adopt the former means of exist from this mundane sphore. A newspaper is a chronicle of the events which occur in a community, but here the newspaper man is forced to draw upon his imagination for his facts and his memory for his wit, and we alas have but a scant store from winch to draw. We arc willfntr to make oath that not even a 0 clog fight lias occurred within the corporate limits during the hist three weeks, to disturb the overwhelming tranquility which has now settled upon our town. We heard a minister not long since refer to the hum of busy life which could be heard upon our streets, and we wondered if this was not intended as a little pcace of ministerial irony, for \vc listened for the hum but failed to hear it. Other towns build opera houses, school houses, factories, etc., their merchants get rich and break, and then begin over again break and get richer, butoursjust hold to the even tenor of their wav and never fail or do anything else that other II WUIl l'u^uiuiuu iuui uuuuia uv. v.viiTw qncntly our lawyers liavo no big law suits to light, or big estates to settle up, the newspaper has 110 startling failures to announce. In view of these facts we conclude that Winnsboro is a peculiar town and .so remarkably quiet that a newspaper man's lot is not a happy one by any means. A REPORTED OUTRAGE. A White Man and Ilis Wife Alleged to Hav? Been Whipped by "Regulators". The Columbia Daily Record of Wednesday last contains the foliowi ng: The Record learns from Mr. T. A. Strickland, a resident of the neighborhood where the outrages have been committed, that Monday night of last week a party of seven disguised men visited the house of Mr. Henry Cook, in the lower part of Fairfield countv, ni..it j *.u^ 11 ^ near x>iymewuuu, uulwcuh mc jli p. m. and 2 a. rn., when thcv burst open the door with an axe, dragged Mr. Cook irom his bed, beat him severely with n whip of some kind, struck Mrs. Cook over the head with a club, and then inarched off, leaving their unfortunate victims writhing in pain. It is stated that these outlaws call themselves regulators, and have undertaken to manage things in that section to suit themselves. No cause has been assigned for the brutal outrage on Mr. Cuok and his wife. Mr. Cook, who is a survivor of the Twelfth Regiment, S. C. V., is said to be a peaceable, law-abiding citizen ?in fact the most inoffensive resident of the neighborhood. Mr. Strickland further informed the Record that the people in the neighborhood are very much alarmed, in consequence of this outrage and the threats which have been sent to others. Last Thursday he picked up a card bearing the following threat: "Thos. Stricklin. ">vatcn uut. "Saturday Night. "Whip You." On the reverse side of the card, which has scalloped corners, was the picture of a rose twig, with blooms in red and the stein and leaves in black pencil. This may prove to be a cine to the perpetrators of the crime. Mrs. Cook, it is believed, can identify several of the'assailants of herself and her husband, but she has been so terrified by these so-called regulators that she is afraid to disclose her knowledge or suspicions. These outrages should be inquired into by the State and county authorities, and if found to be true, the perpetrators should be hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law. How far the information given to the Record may be correct?how far Mr. Strickland himself may have been misinformed?we cannot undertake to say. Certain it is that he makes very grave charges, and, if they be correct, no good citizen will withhold his hearty condemnation of the conduct of the so-called "Regulators". ITEMS FROM ELACKSTOCK.

Editors: As 110 one gives ( | you the news of late from this section ! of our county, perhaps a few items j from an octogenarian may not be amiss ] j for your readers. i First, I am pleased to say that in our (J : immediate vicinity we have not suf- ] ! fercd fur want of rain to the extent of * j other section in our county. Yet the ( I ell'ccts of the late drought has been 1 j almost universal. We were visited by \ ] light rain 011 yesterday which, no ] j doubt, will facilitate the growth of late | ! planted corn, potatoes, peas and gar- ' j lien vegetables, and give us-an oppor- * | tunity of sewing turnip seed, but too . j late for the cotton crop. i I notice tho agricultural reports, so ! far, arc high as to the cotton crop mis ! year. P is, no doubt, exaggerated. i The late drought has curtailed the i | yield immensely in nearly all the cotj ton States. I read a letter yesterday | from Texas, stating that three-fourths i of the <rolcon was open, and not more I than half a vield -would be realized in I i Brazos couuty and vicinity this year, i I take a Texas paper, which coroli)- ' 1 crates nearly the same account in genj eral in that State. From all that*we I now see and hear, the present cotton crop will not exceed that of 18S2 but I little, if any. . The prospect for a corn crop, so far, j is propitious. Our State should no J longer buy corn or flour; neither should we be indebted to the West for j much bacon or hay. We can produce : all these here. No State has more facilities for self-reliance or sustenance than ours. I have traveled over many of our Statos and have never found one in which so many natural advantages, comforts and facilities exist as in our old Palmetto State. Stay here, improve your soil and be content to bury your bones with your worthy ancestors, who sought a home in the happy South from religious and political persecutions m olden time. With industry and economy we can yet be a happy and prosperous people. We have not as yet had much sickness. w. e. Lyles's Ford, S.

( Aug29flx5t THE STYLES i YOUNG MEN WANT Are those handsome Four-Button Cutaways in white cord, in all colors; Sack A Suits, Suits of Cheviot, Cassimcres, Worsted, Seersucker in fancy and plain patterns. The custom-like appearance and elegant style of KIN ARB'S TAILOR-MADE CLOTHING is so well and widely known that for me to state it is far superior? , especially in quality and fit?to any offered L for sale elsewhere m the city, is quite admissable, for it is a confirmed trutn. The class of merchandise >vhich I have for sale is not kept by small dealers in small cities ei and towns; therefore, in soliciting mail orders I do not conflict with the numerous G country merchants. My establishment being the most complete emporinm for the sale of Men's and Boys' Fine Clothing, there is 110 clothing house in the State that | is better prepared to meet the wants of the I public than this Fashionable Clothing Emporium; and persons residing at a distance 01 who may wish to purchase Clothing 01 Furnishing Goods, and Gents' Fine Shoes in Gaiters, Low-quarters, Slippers and Dancing Pumps, and Gents' Neckwear, Hats, C( Satchels and Fine Trunks at honest prices, slu. jld send their orders direct to M.
