Orangeburg was se-! lecled as th<5 next place of meeting for the Conference. Personal.?Mr. Joseph K. Alston, J v the only applicant for admission to the 'j > . tar from this county, was. elected ' president of the class of 1885. Mr. L. C. Caldwell, who lias been ( successfully farming in this countv for ' O . j the past five years, will move to Statesville, X. 0., next week, where ( he expects to open a law office. Hewas admitted to the bar of that State j several years ago. We wish him sue- j " ' cess in his new field of labor. . j { New Advertisement.?Every one I i should read the advertisement of the i mammoth establishment of 11. L. , Kinard at Columbia, to be found in \ this issue. If vou are need in need of < t anything kept iu a first-class gents' j famishing store, call on him when you j are in Columbia, and see for yourself i that you can buy anything from a j trunk strap to the finest suit of cloth- ( ing. Every Jiue is complete, ana po-'| lite and attentive clerks, such as found j j in his store, make trading an easy; matter. : * Improvements Completed. ? The railroad office at this place, has been thoroughly repaired and painted. The ' office now has two separate and dis tinct offices. The geutlemen's wait- s ' ing-room and the Jadies's waiting- 1 room. A head door to each room j for the sale of tickets has beeu neatly ' cnt, saving the trouble of all going one J room. Both offices have been neatlvj painted, which adds much to their j ' appearance. The railrosd authorities j ( will have the thanks orthe public tor the recent addition to their convenience. That Negro Exodus?The negro i exodus still continues. The following account from theChester correspondent . of the -Z\Te?cs and Courier shows the feeling of the colored people in this county: ; < About one hundred colored people, mostly men, left the Feasterville neish- ! borhood for Little Ilock, Ark., a few j days ago. About the same number ' IKa tomo nlono fnr COITIA 11 ill i^aic unv cauiv *v* ?mv | destination next Monday. Tuesdays train took up two extra i ' coaches tor a number of negroes to leave from Woodward. We are in- j1 formed that they did not leave on that, train, but about one hundred and j' twenty-five will leave that place in a 1 few days. They are slill imbibed with ' fenr the idea presented them by emigration agents that the West as a land flowing ' -with milk and hocev. J. I : A Little History.?The fact that a i circus traveling through Georgia car- j ried off a church bell from one of the towns, will cause a number of the citizens of Winnsboro to remember afresh the fact that one of the finest bells in the uo-countrv was stolen from the Episcopal church at this place tv Sherman's army. The bell was used in the old church near the Episcopal cemetery, aud was formerly used in ; the Episcopal church at Dorchester. Ks tone and was greatly adurch was burned by Sher- : diligent search was made : ; of the bell, but nothing i 6Vnrft>iin'dr "Jf *?*s tlioi^ arid is j stiii, bciieved, jb&t'the bell wa? stolen j by the army. Our people, by the way, were not as successful as our Georgia ! mentis, m tnat tne Den was never re- [ covered. Whipped, but ko Confession*.?We ! have just learned that a negro living' neat* White Oak went into several i places of business at thai, place a few; days ago and succeeded in getting1 some money, about sixty dollars, to-1 j gelher with several small articles of i | merchandise from some of the stores, i . i ! He was accused of taking the things j by several men, and acknowledged the i larceny, but would no! at first tell j j where they were, but afterwards said | that if they would. go to a certain \ house near by he would. He was j ' - i* -Mil aJIau t in/r , UlKCil IU IUC UUUM;, UUl ai .CI pCluug I J there refused to disclose the where- j abouts of the stolen goods. To com- I pel him to confess, it was decided to \ give him a sound thrashing-, which the j { crowd at once proceeded to administer, I but the remedy adopted failed to briDg j . the confession. It is a matter of regret j that any unlawful steps were taken to ' bring about the desired results. Our j courts of justice furnish ample punish- > ; ment for such criminals, and in them ! " md them only should justice and pun- j . ishment be administered. , i < A Probable Homicide.?A serious j i lifficulty occurred in our county on ! t ruesday last near Dawkins, between | i Mr. Eli Free and a colored man named j c Jim Johnston, which will probably j t result in the death of the latter, who ! s sve are informed is pronounced beyond t recovery by the attending physician, j [t seems that they got into a quarrel ( t ibout a horso that Mr. Free had told !;1 Jim to catch, which Johnston did, but \ t tvhen he came up commenced cursing i 5 Mr. Free. Mr. Free then ordered him j c from the place, but the negro refused i :o go, and told him be would "git j t aira"' now, if he didn't he would "git j 1 lira" before he got to Dawkins, and c wade other serious threats, and ad- j s iranced on Mr. Free, who thereupon ! c >hot him twice with a double-barrelled \ shot gun, both shots taking effect in ! t lis side and back. The brother of j s Johnston then advanced 0:1 Mr. Free 1 1 with an axe, ana woni i proDaoiv nave i cil'ed him if he had not retreated and i I gotten out of the way. It.was rumored ; \ >n the st'reets'on Friday that the negro j i lad died, but nothing- definite as to the , a ruth of the statement could be' ob- j a ained. We are informed that the j ^ legro bears a bad reputation, and had 1 o leave the county on account of some , litficultv about a year ago. Mr. Free i same in on Thursday and gave himself j t * ^ r* n/1 J? r\ /\ rrr i-nl l\f 1<J LUC ^ilCUU^ UUll lO UV?T ill jaw? | N ? I t Tiie Lien* Law.?The Act repealing j c he lien law, passed by the House ofj Representatives a few days ago, came j ? lp for consideration by the Senate on | f rnesdav. At the time it looked very j c michlike the bill wonld pass, but on a Lnotion to pass the bill to a third read- ! ^ ng and order it printed the vote re- t suited ayes 15, nays 18. A subsequent- ( notion to reconsider the vote and lay j :he motion on the table was defeated, L. >o the bill remaius upon the Calendar i s pending a motion to reconsider. The | g farmers are perhaps interested in no i j sill more than the one on the Calen-1 t Jar at present. They clamor for a ; rj ;hange, and attributed their poverty j :o the workings of the law. Thev} _ ^ | > iave gone so .far under the working j )t this law that no remedy seems to j. present itself except by repealing the a aw in toto. What the result of sach iction would be, is a question which t should present itself to every thinking larmer. Its repeal would not effect in triv way some of our farmers can comnnnil credit outside of the law. but to _ . ? . ' in he small farmer it must be effecting t >ne way or the other. It is then left or the farmers to say through their ^ epreseDtatives whether the law shall )e repealed or nut. It is not probable r hat the bill will be lurther discussed r luring the present section and the final t action upon it, judging from the votes j is a matter of mere speculation. a . t ITEXS FRO HZ JSLACKSTOCK.

Many readers of; L'he News and Herald, who were j fienUS OI liJIS IIUUIC nviuaii) nviv | nade sad by her death, hencc some loticc of her in our county paper will ; >e read with interest. She was bom j lear Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1S59, was j iaptized at Springfield in the same ! State at the age of twelve, and was j narried at ilontieello, S. C., in 1883. j Several years previous to her mar- j iage she taught school in several fara- j lies iu this county, and wherever she I ias chanced to live she won many | vartn friends, who regret to hear of j ler death. Her amiable disposition, j ine culture, affable manner and j christian character caused all who! aiew her to love her. She lived a j ioIv, cheerful life; made religion her j Mivinpcc hpr r?hoi.-<? parlv. and she was I * all th~? different scenes and periods of it. She was useful, beloved, humble, charitable, . It becomes us to remern bersuch "ah; example for encourage-I ! ment and imitatiqt*. Several years ago Mrs. Jones re? ceived a severe shock to her nervous svstem by the explosion of a-lamp, and although the injuries otherwise were not great, yet ever afterwards nervous debility made her an easy prey to sickness.She often went | beyond her physical strength in the j discharge of her religions, social and ; private duties, aiid 'hence she is sadly missed in ner cnurcn, coinmuuiiyi j and newly-built home. Her good [ i works, however, follow her, and ; i though dead she yet speaketh. She | leaves behind her two oabes?one ! twenty months and the other six weeks : old. Her faithful husband and her ; fond parents (Mr. and Mrs, iJ. R. ' Scott) are heart-broken by. this be. reavernent, but at the same "time they j bear it with Christian fortitude and ; are greatly comforted by the many ; j letters from sympathizing friends at i a distance and the tender words of attentive neighbors around them.
