A Law .Needed.?it is aoout time for every county paper iu the State to begin publishing a list of bills that should be passed for the dear people, at the p.visent session of the Legislai ture. The bill which we are about to | recommend was suggested by one of j the most prominent farmers of the j county, and it struck us so forcibly, after hearing his statement that we concluded to impress it upon our deletes. It is to prevent the buying of any produce, such as com, wheat and oats by merchants after sun down, and to compel them to keep a list of all parties selling such produce during the day. He claims, and we think jastlv too, tbat it will decrease larceny of grain from the field which is very important to farmers. At present corn is stolen from the field ana tafcen to the country merchant and sold. Of course the merchant does not know it is stolen, and is therefore not liable. If by the passage of such a law the crops can be better protected, we say pass it by all means, and make it a penalty where the merchant fails to keep the list of parties selling produce of any kind. The same reasons will apply to a law of this kind as in case of selling cotton and "we hope to see it passed. ? W THE UENTlA'Aitr.? rr u were ^cascu to see at our office on Monday, Mr. A. W.

Aa Enthusiastic Meeting in the Court House?The Organization Pcrficttd. In pursuance of a call recently published for a meeting of the citizens of Winns'ooro in the Court House, for the purpose of organizing a Free Trade Club on Tuesday night. A large and enthusiastic audience niei for this purpose. During the day, several men canvassed the town and secured the names of about ajjhundred gentlemen, who signified their willingness to become members of the Club, and to their influence in promoting the cause of Free Trade. Hon. H. A. Gaillard was called to the chair, and in a few words stated the object of the meeting, which was to organize *u ~ ?n,l rlr>lrnc t n t hf* I Lie iiuu vitbi U\.ivqui,VJ iv wv. Convention of Free Traders, which will be held in Columbia 011 the 9ih December. Mr. J. E. McDonald was chosen temporary secretary. Besides the names already procured, a number of others were added to the roll, among the number the life-long colored Democrat, Willis Goode. A permanent organization was effected by the ftf t fnllftwi nor nffir.firsI Pl'ftS V lOUHV 4 I Vi VLiV iVIAV ?? VMOV-. -w - ? idem, Hon. 11. A. Gaillard; Vice-Presdcnts, Messrs, James Q. Davis and F. Gerig; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. J. E. McDonald. The following gentlemen were nominated and elected members of the executive committee: Messrs. G. W. Rugsdale, J. M. Beatv, (Jhas. A. Douglas?, G. 11. McMa?terand J. M. Stewart. On motion, the Club proceeded to the election of delegates to represent the Club iu the Free Trade Convention in Columbia. The following gentlemen were elected: Messrs. James H. Rion. Chas. A. Douglass, S. KT Rutland, Josesph Iv. Alston, G. TV. Rag.-dale. G. II. McMaster James M. Stewart and Jno. S. Reynolds. On motion, the following committee was appointed to draft a constitution for the government of the Club: Messrs. Jno. S. Reynolds, S. R. Rutland, I. N. Withers, James Q. Davis and J. G. McCants. The following resolution was pre[ sented by Mr. Chas. A. Douglass for [ adoption by 'he Club:. Resolved, That it is the sense of this Ciub, that the delegates electee to represent this county in the State Convention of Free Traders, to meet in Columbia on December the 9th, should by their votes favor, and by their actions fnriher, an early, material and substantial rclorm oi' the tariff laws of the country. That they Snould seek a constant and gradual reduction of the tariff, and labor ultimate for a total . iholirion of the nrescnt system of in direct taxation. Mr. Douglass in support ot the resolution, in his usual happy style spoke of the iniquity of the present protective tariff, and t^e burden which the greatness of the people were compelled to bear resulting from it. That the ultimate e?d and object of the Free Trade movement should be the practical abolition of [the tariff laws now in existence. lie was followed by the President who said that he was heartily in favor of the movement, but did not faror a too radical change, and thought the reform should be gradual, and that it should be accomplisehd step by step. A number of other gentlemen participated in the debate, and all advocated the adoption of the resolutions, and were in hearty sympathy with the movement now being organized over the State. Mr. J. G-. McCants offered the following amendment to the resolution. Strike out all after the word "iabor," in the latter part of the resolution, and insert the following, "for a tariff for revenue only." After a pretty heated discussion the amendment was adopted Tr.p resolution was adoDted as amended. The following additional resolution was offered by Jos. Iv. Alston, and adopted without opposition: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the-delegates to the State Convention, shall he instructed to use their best efforts looking to a greater a.MiMnn of manufactured articles to the free list, and that these articles shall be taken from the necessaries of life. On motion, the executive committee was instructed to invite Hon. J. J. Dargau to address the Clnb in the near future, after which the Club adjourned to meet at the call of the President. The number of gentlemen present and the enthusiasm displayed in the meeting, showed that the people are alive and awake for the great issue, and that every effort will be used to promote the success of the reform. The people are being enlightened on this intricate question, and are beginning to realize the oppression which they have borne for three-quarters of a century. Fairfield will be found in line in the great movement, and her influence will be wielded to promote US SllCUUSS. A SUGGESTION'. Messrs. Editors: Would it not be a good tiling fcr the loyal citizen? of our community to make some effort to bring about a more general and proper observance of the day set apart by the President, and Governors of the several States as a day of public thanksgiving and pravei 1' Shonld not some i deference be shown on the part of the I good citizens to the proclamations of j our P.u-lers? Cannot the citizens of our town bymutual consent suspend secular business for at least one day in the year, ~ - - ? , : and make Thursday tne twenty-sixm I of November, not only a grand holiday ' but especially a day of religions gratij tude Bnd privilege, "and of social enjoy; ment and entertainment Nothing would be more pleasant, and nothing | would have a more delightful and beneficial influence upon our religions and I social ilie mail ior an uui uuwus iu j close their places of business and assemble first 4tin their usual places of j worship, and with prayer and songs j of praise devoutly testify their grati| tude to the Giver of every good aud | perfect gift," and then let {he members of each household assemble together j with cheerful minds and happy hearts arouud the firesides and amid the joys j of home, and "let the social intercourse ! of friends with pleasant reminiscence " ^ a* j | renew tne tiesoiauecuonauu si rungmen the bonds of kindly feeling." And let every one that hath an overflow of blessings remember the poor and lowly who may be deprived of them, thus making the day cheer the hear; and quicken the gratitude of every one. The day can and should be made oue of lovely joy, sacred gratitude, and delightful social enjoyment. To observe it properly will help us to cultivate a holier, happier u-J kindlior spirit. Nothing will be lost, much may be gaiued. citizen. ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK. Jfessrrs. Editors: As the opportunity presents itself I will give you an item 01* two.

Jfessvs. Editors: Some time has elapsed since the Fairfield Union held its meeting with Concord church, but thinking perhaps the proceedings of that meeting might be interesting to some of tbe readers of your valuable paper, we have concluded to give a short account of it.. At the previous meeting, a resolu| tion was passed making officers ineli gible for more than one meeting. The j body was called to order by the former ' Moderator. After devotional exercises ; the names of delegates were enrolled j and the body organized by electing the j Rev. J. M. Hood Moderator and E. W. | Parker Secretary. The introductory sermon was preached by the Moderator, after which a recess of one hour was given, when the body reconvened arid several subjects were discussed, to wit: The Lord's Supper, its object and objection?discussed by the Rev. T. W. Mellichamp. 2nd. In what wa\ s may Christian love be dis- J played??discussed by the Rev. T. W. ; Mellichamp, H. Edmunds and Dr. | Boyd. Sunday School addresses were dc-1 livered by Messrs.

The crop of cotton in this section is pretty weil gathered and the farmers are busily engaged putting in small .grain. From appearances we think there will be a larger acreage of smali grain the coming year than the past Some sneak of trying tobacco, thinking it will pay better than cotton. Of this the writer has no doubt, for there certainly is no money iu cotton at the present prices, and with the kind of labor we have. We hear another store has been opened by Kennedy & Strother, colored. Plenty of goods, but a scarcity of money. Four stores, two blacksmith shops, three or four public gins, a postoffice, two scnoois ana two churches (white aud colored), will do pretty well for the little burg of Simpson, which bids fair to be a place of note at no diatant day. x. y. z. ?"We don't have to recommend Parker's Hair Balsam bat once," writes Mr. C.
