S. C.

Next door to National Bank. * The Legislature.?It is only a little more than ten days nntil the Legislature will meet, and we think it is almost time that our correspondents were suggesting laws which would benefit their section. The press or the State has been qniet, and very few laws have been recommended. Let us hear from yon. German Carp.-?We were shown on Wednesday a fine specimen of German carp from the pond of Mr. G. B. McCants. A number of them were pnt in his pond about two years ago, and in letting it offou Wednesday he found i a fine lot of fish. The one ?hown us ! measured twent>-two inches in length.

We wish them a long, happy and useful life. Shoes! Shoes!?Don't buy your Shoes and Boots until yon come ana look through our stock. Our prices will convince you that we are actually selling cheaper than the cheapest. D. A. Hexdrix, * Next door to National Bank. Advertising.?1The following lines j show uuwise economy: "Oh no," said Slow, "I don't believe in advertising; My trade, vou know, Won't bear it?that there's no disgnising." Down grade his trade Kept going steadily and daily, And caused to fade The prospects that, had bloomed so gaily. ! Tramps.?Oar town has bad a flood j of tramps all fall, and it is a mystery how few depredations have been committed. We notice that an attempt was made one day last week to forcibly enter the residence of Dr. A. H. i Davega, in Chester, aud that it was only through main force from the inmates that the attempt was not sue cessful. We need some protection from the insults and depredations of this class of men, and the man who will suggest a suitable and effectual remedv, will be entitled to a chromo from his fellow-citizens. A Sad Deatk.?We are paiued to announce the death of little Aiken 1 , -.? >*_ __ J Ar..? I j&giesiou, son oi m.r. uuu jus. i/uwcc Egleston, which took place on Monday night last. The little fellow was sick for about six weeks, and was a great sufferer. He was about four years old, and was an unnsually bright and interesting boy. His death is a sore affliction to his parents and family, aud these have the deep sympathy of their numerous friends. The funeral ser-1 vices were held in the Episcopal church | on Tuesday afternoon, and the interment was in the family plot in the cemetery. "WlNNSBORO AT THE FAIR.?Our town generally sends down to Columbia a large representation during fair week, but this year it has been exceptionally large, and our streets on Thursday oimnsf T7t> to Friday iV/VA\iu auuvdi wvm* ? ^ morning three hundred and eightyseven tickets had been sold, which makes a good representation from j Winnsboro. The crowd in Columbia ! was an exceptionally quiet one, but j pickpockets were out in full force and j several of the Boro boys suffered from j their presence on the grounds. It J seems almost impossible to ;:ecp ims class of men from the crowd 011 such occasions, and for boldness so.ne of their robberies could not be equaled. A Shootikg Scrape.? A shooting affray took place near Cornwall's Turnout about, a week ago between Wash Dorr and Henry Ruff, in which the latter was painfully injured. The former was arrested and placed in the guard-house at Blackstock. After being in some time, he concluded that he could burn his way out; so he set fire to the building in hopes that he could make his escape in the confusion which would follow the discovery of i the fire. He found his plan a rather dangerous experiment, as he narrowly escaped being seriously burnt. He was transfen-ed to the Chester jail on Sofnt.f?oir Incf thnrnnchlv convinced UOtUiUVJ 41-VWJ ? that it would be better to stand his trial than to attempt to burn his way out again. The Fire.?About eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning the fire bell tapped, and soon the whole fbfce was out and ready for the fire. It was soon discovered that it was in the house of Phelia Stynes, a colored woman living on Dr. Monaster's place, but was soon extinguished before any of the companies got to the cistern. It was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, as a piece of fire and some kindling was 'found 011 the sill under the corner of the boose. We were struck at the time at the promptness which, all. of our companies displayed when the bell was sounded, and with what good humor they took it when they found that it was a small affair, and did not necessitate the callin'g- out of the fire department. Prof. Willard and Miss Da yen* PORT.?xne enieriainmem, given cu Boag's Opera House on Tuesday night, by Miss Davenport, assisted by Prof. Willard, attracted a good audience. Shortly after eight o'clock the per formance began and for two hoars th< r^rnwd was hio-hlv entertained. Th< tricks of Prof. "Willard were carrie< out as successfully as we have eve seen by any one. The trick of allow lug two persons from the audience t< examine a box, lock and key, an< then getting inside and telling them t< gggggggggggHBBgggHBgjg i tie it securely with ropes and that he would succeed in getting out was successfully performed. The box was examined after he had gotten out, and found to be iu the same condition which it was in when tied by thegentle men from the audience. The performance of Miss Davenport was as mysterious as those of Prof. Willard, aud we have found noone whocouldexplain satisfactorily how the bell was rung, and how she succeeded in throwing a number of articles out of the enclosure while her hands, neck and feet were securely tied. The performance was quite as good as the average performance of this kind, and would be highly entertaining to those who have never witnessed such an exhibition. Fairfield Exhibitors at the Fair. ?As nsnai our county was well represented iu the different departments at the recent State Fair, and the exhibitors have every reason to be proad of the showing which was made, and the number of premiums carried away.

The cotton crop is shorter than half, and the farmers are alive in sowing, all along the road from Jennings's store to Winiisboro. Dr. J. C.

The funeral services were preached by the Rev. J. K. McCain. The tobacco which Mr. J. P. Feuly planted is pronounced by an agent of the Durham Company to be of the finest quality. He would give twenty-five cents per pound for the sample shown, has ^no-acred Mr. Fenlv to nlant next year all he can well work. Mr. Fenlv planted this year only fifty hills as an experiment. The crops are nearly gathered. Most of us will have empty pockets by Christmas. There are several of the neighbors who have their own larder? not to be filled from abroad. The hogs look fine. Some of them net 250 pounds each. Junior. ?Better stop your cough while you can. Bye and bye nothing will do.it.

Editors: The short cotton crop made iu our section of the coun}y has beeu nearly all picked oat, aud our people are beginning to see far enough through the year's work to ascertain i whether they will come out behind or otherwise. Sometimes it so happens that the crop and the man are both failures. But coming out behind does not necessarily imply that the man is a failure; for be may have done his duty so far as industry is concerned. But what a wonderful thiDg cotton has become since the war! The master of some and the servant of others. Some make it as a sort of auxiliary, as our j fathers did before the war. Others depend upon it to pay for everything they consume; with the latter it is not only King, bat often a crnel tyrant. Bnt still it will buy, prospectively, mules, meat, bread and almost every- j thing else; and that, too, without knowing how much we shall make, or what we shall get for it. But when some international congress fixes a uniform price we shall be able to make it with far less uncertainty. Another remarkable peculiarity about the cotton crop is that the yield so seldom goes over our first estimate. While in nine cases out of ten it falls below. Hence we often hear of one-half, onethird and one-fourth of a crop. Now I think I conld have a pretty clear conception of these simple fractions if I could just know what a fall crop is, bnt unfortunately for me I have never bwn able to find oat. Wo aid it not be well to allow for contingencies, or to base estimates upon past experience? The only certainty about it is the expense of trying to make it, and the harder we try the more we increase thp whether we increase the quantity produced or not. Some days ago Mr. Robert Crawford bad his band severely and very painfully injured by being caugbt in the machinery ot his mill. Mr. Laban Chappell has taken charge of the Morris Creek school. Many of our schools opened on the 2nd inst. As usual at this season of the year much is said in regard to our public schools, and I have heard very different opinions expressed in regard to some things connected with them. Bnt of this I shall speak next week. Mosris Ckeek.
