The Board of County Commission rs nas oee:i in session for several days winding up the years' business. ?The town council has added much j to the condition and appearance of> Evans streets by the recent work. ?Mr. Paul Hemphill, a prominent! voung member of the Chester bar, j o 1 spent a few days iu town this week. I ?"diggers in Arkansas git two dol- j lars a day for washing," was the state- ! U inent heard by a reporter, on the streets j Ijgte. last Saturday. Wg ?Messrs. E. B. Ragsdale and Daniel Hall, Jr., left on Wednesday for W Ocala, Jb'la., where tncy go on Dusmess. ' Thej- will spend several weeks in the land of flowers. ?The town clock has been neatly repaired, and is now running as usual. We didn't know how much we would miss it until it was stopped while undergoing those repairs. ?Mr. "W. C. Rion, who has been suffering from rheumatism for several : months, and confined to his house most i of the time, is again up and about his professional duties as usual. ?Judge A. C. Haskell, president of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, was among the prominent visitors who attended the marriage ceremony of Miss Rion to ^Ir. Edwards. ?Now is a good time for the merchants of town to let the people of the couulv know where to buy their * ' ' mi u .I? Kr? vorisimas gocus. iuruu^u im; wi^ nmns of The News axd Herald is the way to let them know. ?Mr. R. C.

It is the well-known Peterkin variety. ? A frmvr? nf np<n-nps ?hnnt fiftv >n ~ " ~ " ~~n ? i number, left Blackstock on Saturday, I for Arkansas. There seems to be a i general dissatisfaction among ihem, j bat whether their condition will be i bettered by the change, remains a! question which they will have to solve j for themselves. ?A good audience assembled at |the Presbyterian Charch on Tuesday evening to hear the lecture of the .Rev. John W. Davis, a returned Missionary from China. The crowd \vas highly entertained by the speaker's happy stvle ?f relating the habits and customs of the Chinamen in his native laud. ?The attention of the members of Scion Presbyterian Church is respectfully called to the announcement that the pastor of (he church, will be absent by presbyteiial appointment on next Sabbath. This appointment is made by the Executive Committee, ont with the authority of presbytery. The object of it is tu aid?if possible?the Aimwel! and Longtown churches in oDiaining mc services 01 a pastor. A Gentle Hint.?While the energetic proprietor of the Opera House deserves much credit for the handsome style iu which he has fitted up his hall, we were very forcibly impressed, on ! Friday evening, that a little heat was j needed to make it comfortable. New Cars.?We are informed that j passenger cars will be put on the ! Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rrailroad at an early date. They are made after the styje of the Pennsylvania railroad cars. There will be no difference between the first and second ciass cars, and will be much more "comfortable than the ones in present use. The State Militia.?The Gordons will be glad to know that the eSort made to repeal the law which appropriates four dollars per capita, for the militia of the State, was defeated in ?* the Legislature on Friday, by the handsome vote of eighty to twentyseven. It-shows that our people appreciate the vonnteer companies of the j state, ana are willing to materially j assist them in their organization. t A Revolutionary Relic.?On Mon- j doy Mr. J. H. Neil, bronght to onr office a pocket book which we have no hesitation in saying is the oldest thing of the kind in America. It is an ordinary pocket-book, hand made and stamped as made in 1752. It was carried by Mr. Neil's great grand father, who was killed on the old Neil place, about six miles from Winnsboro in 1779. This book has been in the family for ever 130 years, and is remarkably well preserved. It was made of Scotch leather, and is valuable outside of its history. DCs Taws fiostts.^The bin stithsfizing the Town Council of Winnsboi'o, to issue bonds to assist in repairing or rebuilding Mount Zion Col lege,, passed its final reading in the Senate 'ast week. Since our Dans nas expresseu a willinguess to take up all the bonds it begins to looks like we will have buother school building in the near future. We think the pupils of the school will heartily concur with us in saying that it comes none too soon. Again Victorious.?Five competeut judges award the highest prize to the New High Arm Davis Fertical Feed at the late Charlotte Fair for the best Family tewing Machine. For sale by J. O. Boag. , * * Off for New Homes.?We are informed that Mr. C. S. Brice, a successful farmer of the New Hope section has purchased a plantatipn in Abbe ville county, and contemplates moving there abont the first of the year. "We also learn that Mr. J. Feaster Lyles, another successful and wellknown farmer of the northwestern portion of the county, will move to Lexington county about the close of the year. Our county can ill afford to loose two such citizens. We wi?h ihem success in their new homes. P?)AUTDrT!riV TV- PpfFSTJ.-'R. lAfl pffoi'i is being made by the anti-prohibitionists of Chester, to have the law prohibiting the sale of whiskey in that town repealed. The prohibitionists, however, will made a determined fight, and a-petition containing about seven hundred names has been sent down. A committee from the dry men went to Columbia to appear before the judiciary committee on Tuesday night. The Legislature seems rather inclined to let the whiskey question alone, and it is hardly probable that any action will be takeu. Ax Accident.?As Mr. Daniel Hall, Jr., was coming into town on Wednesj i ? Uav LE1UIIJlllg JUOt ailCl ucaij he attempted to cross the little branch northeast of town, which was considerably swollen. The stream proved swifter than he expected, and his hungry was turned over throwing him out and washing him down stream some little ways. He lost his overcoat, and valise containing besides his clothing $50 in money. Up to latest reports he had not recovered them, and was thankful that he had saved himself. Went Fishing and Caught a Calf. ?Last week Press Dixon, Joe Sawyer and Nick Lawson, arranged for a grand fishing excursion on Moore creek, but as the fi?h were not in a biting humor, they concluded to try some other game in which it turns out they were more succcssful. The next morning after their excursion a calf belonging to Charlie Russell was missing, and suspicion resting upon the fishing party as the guilty ones. A search revealed the fact that they had killed and prepared it for market. They were given a "preliminary hearing on Friday, and all were bound niror anewpr r?.h&r<rf> of larftfillV VT ? J3 . of live stock, at the next term of the court. The Columbia Dailies.?The Columbia Register has lately increased its telegraph service, so as to get the full Press Dispatches?thus placing the _t L ~r A-U-. \ paper aureufci ui irn; icaumj; uauica of the country. In thus improving the news department, the management! has not suffered the other features to be neglected, all of them being kept well up to a high standard. The Register now reaches Wiunsboro by ten o'clock on the morning of publication. This helps to make the paper more popular than ever. The Daily Record, the best evening paper we know of in this section, has so far proven a success that its proprietor has had to enlarge it from a six.col am n to a seven column folio. This is n. substantial proof of a degree of prosperity that the many friends of the paper hope will last always. Stenographer's Bill Defeated.? The bill providing for a stenographer for the sixth circuit, was again defeated in the Senate on Friday. At the last session of the Legislature a similar bill passed the House with hardly a dissenting voice, and was sent to the Senate where it shared a similar fate to the one on Friday. We are at a loss to know what valid objection can be urged against the bill. Other circuits of the State are supplied, and as far as we have been able to learn, they are of incalcuable benefit in the transaction of judicial business. If other circuits of the State are benefitted by the office of stenographer, why would it not be beneficial to the sixth? Perhaps the salary attached to the office C r? f Urt n? i?r\ n r\ r* Z ? . I- Un ?\ ma id tuc giisai ugauido ALO UOO% sage. If so, we believe that it can be mathematically demonstrated that the counties of the sixth circuit would actually save money with the services of such an officer in facilitating business, and in time consumed by officers of the courts in attendance upon its sessions. But in this instance the money is not all thrown together in the shape of a salary, bat it is a constant gradual loss oi time, :or wnicn me people 01 the county pay other officers of the court, and which in the three sessions of the court each year would amount to considerably more than any counties proportionate share of a stenographers salary. "When the Senate spends an entire day in discussing and passing a bill, prohibiting the catching of terrapins fjom April to July, we can hardly | see how the stenographers bill was | defeated. ' Marriages.?For some time it has been rumored that one of the merchants of Winnsboro would find in Columbia a genial partner for life, and on "Wednesday Mr. G. A. White, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Mamie White, Miss Sallie Gladden, and Mr. James M. Smith, left on the down train for the capital of the State, where he was to be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony on Thursday. At twelve o'clock, at the residence of the 1 J _ A T7* 3 1L. onae, miss jauuu, me Rev. A. Coke Smith performed the ceremony and pronounced them man and wife. After receiving the con j gr&ttiUti3h? 2nd pod wishes of tl h38t of friends the ncftlv married cotiple boarded the north bound train fur their home in thi3 place. They will accept j our congratulations and be?t wishes forasafeJind happy voyage over the sea of life. The Columbia lletjhter <:?m:;iius the following no!ioti ??i the marriage of one of Fail field's Representative-: On the 10th December, at the residence of Mr. Win.

The newly married pair have our best wishes lor a long and happy life.

We, the officers and members of the St. Paul Baptist Church, are about to j start to build a house for-the worship of God, to be located in the town of Winnsboro. Our present house is too small to hold our congregation, and we earnestly appeal to onr white f:ieuds to aid us by their contributions in erecting our church. "We will send around printed circulars signed by the church officers, and beg the friends of |F onr cause to assist by subscribing i when they are presented. Please do not refuse us. Rev. D. Goldixg, Pastor. i ir? 1 o /1 t\^ ? 10 q? W liiiisuoro, o. \y y jl^cv;. ioou. ? ? A WORD ABOUT THE REGULATORS. Messrs. Editors: A question of the last importance presents itself jnst now to me aod to vou. Allow me to say through your columns what I think of it, and if it meet your views of editorial propriety yon may do likewise. The delegation is "practically unanimous" And for what! Not being an adepi ?.t definition 1 will not here attempt to define lawlessness. Besides, I wish no quarrel over verbal distinctions, and there is certainly no occasion for any. No doubt I may safely assaine that there is 110 dispute as to the facts. Certain provisions of Magna Charta are now obsolete in Fairfield, and the rigrht of trial byjury depends very much upon circumstances. Senators and Representatives | bewail the impotency of the law. Nay, they tell us that the New Tribunal is indispensable; that certain misde| meanors cannot be reached in a court of justice. This Jast is a startling j legal proposition. But we all know that circumstantial evidence will convict a man of murder: that it has time and agaiu been the sole warrant for snapping the column of the criminal's life; that it has alone and unassisted overthrown the Plotemaic Astronomy; that it is the handmaid of Geology and the familiar acquaintance of every man. Surely there must be an undue assumption somewhere. Either this or something like supernatural stupidity. "The trouble is with the jury." Well, right here and recently juries have convicted parties charged with these very offenses, and that too (as has been observed) upon evidence by no means conclusive to the mind of the defendant's attorney. Who says that a different rule will be adopted to suit the complexion of the culprit? Either say it or admit tnat tne uourt of General Sessions is an adequate forum. Can it be possible then that these brave men who wear masks at midnight are either afraid or ashamed to prefer charges openly against those who are so much in need of regulation? Despite the mild evasion our Representatives and the characteristic vehemence of our Senator, we are here in Fairfield face to face with a serious issue. There is no escaping the conclusion that the Regulators are a stauding menace to all social institutions. As progress is from the simple to the complex so it is at the same time from confusion to order. It is not Judges alone who follow precedents. This has of late been abundantly exemplified. It will not do, therefore, to say that we are "assured that the Regulators do not contemplate anything further than this moral reform." Rather let us inti mate in 110 unmistakable way that regulation must proceed regularly, and let us say, this notwithstanding the fact that at least a majority of our delegation in the Legislature do not see the iniquity of the departure.
