Frozen up.?The down freight on
Monday was delayed at this place sevaral
hours on account of the freeze.
No water could be gotten between
here and Chester, and the train was left
here until the engine could go to the
tank at Blyt'newood for water. This
shows the state of the weather.

Two Bales of Cottox Stolen.?
Considerable excitement has been occasioned
in the northwestern section of
the county, by the larceny, on Christmas
night, of two bales of cotton belonging
to Mr. David Crosby. A
searching party found on Sunday one
bale of the missing cotton in a gully,
near the Buckhead place, nearlv six
milpR frnm thp sr;rp.to- of Mr. Croshv.
About Ave miles from the screw, a
place which looked as if cotton had
been unloaded was found by some of
the searchers, bat up to latest accounts
no trace of the other missing bale could
be found.
Death ok an old Negro.?On last
Sunday, Adam Blake, an old colon d
man living on Mr. H. L. Elliott's place,
breathed his last. Perhaps no citizen
..r 4 _:?u
iu uuriuwii wiw uciier awjuttiuiw wiuj j
the history of Winnsboro than o'.d
Adam. He came to this place in 1813
a mere lad, and had lived here continually
ever since. He had a remarkably
memory, remembering the merest
details o f happening in and around
the town for over half a century. To
illustrate hi* wonderful memory, we
have only to say that he hauled the
town clock from Charleston, and remembered
the we;ght of almost every
article connected with it. He was
respected by both race?, and all will
join with us in saying "peace to bis
ashes."
The Cold Snap.?It is a rare thing
that onr people are forced to experience
such weather as we have had for the
past few days. In fact the old saying
that the "oldest inhabitants" never
experienced any such weather, has
been remarked frequentln within the
past week. It seems to be a geneial
cola speil over the entire country. In
Minnesota the mercnry ran down to
40? below zero, and in other places it
went down as far as 52? below zero.
Conductor Sprinkle remarked on Saturday,
that he had been employed as a
conductor on the Charlotte, Columbia
ifc Augusta Kail road for eleven years,
audit was the first day he had worn'
an overcoat the entire day, and that it
was the most disagreeable dav he had
ever experienced. There has been a
general freezing up, and at present
there t? be no hope of a change.
Wood is in good demand as a consequence
of the snap.
Relating to Tramps.?At a recent
meeting of the Town Council, the question
of how to rid tke town of the
nuisance of tramps, came up for consideration,
and was finally disposed of
by the enactment of an ordinance,
which if properlv carried out will do
much to rid our town of these pests,
ft provides that should any vagrant
E>erson of the class commonly known
is "tramps" be seen entering the premises
of any citizen or be complained of
DV any citizen of begging he shall be
irrested ov the police and brought before
the Intendeut and giveu a hearing.
Shonld he be found guilty of the charge
ic shall be imprisoued in the guard
iou*e for twenty-four hours and then
:;iken to the corporate limits aud dis;harged,
And if after this has been
tone, he again be brought before the
[ntendent, he shall be imprisoned for
i term not less than fifty-eight hours,
[t is well known that this class of persons
have communication with each
>ther, and shonld one violate the or
li nance and be convicted, it will do
nuch to rid our town of this worthless
;la<s of men. The ordinance will appear
in fall in the next issue of this
japer.
Important to Applicants.?At a
neeti'jg of the Fairfield delegation on
Monday morning, the following action
cvas taken in regard to filling the trial
URtice offices of the county under the
aw recently passed by the Legislature
[t was decided to clect a board of examiners,
who will take charge of the
;A.ttiuiu?uuu auu i cyw iu^-oukimiiig
>f the different applicants. Messrs.
J. E. McDonald, J. R. Delaney, and
r. E. Bell were elected the committee.
[11 making this ^election, the delegation
;>aid due.regard to having the different
professions represented on the board,
rhe examination will be held in the
Jouri House on Saturday, the 17th
nst., at 10 o'clock, and all applicants .
;vill come prepared to enter into the
examination on that day. Postal cards
will be sent out notifying parties, but
in case no such notice be received,
-hose interested should consider this
rrntW Thp PTftminfttinn xferill
not be at all regid, only questions of
general knowledge will be asked. This
method is adopted for the satisfacti on
of all uartiea, in case they should fail
to secure the appointment, as under
this system all stand upon equal footing,
aed will receive the appointment
upoft'their own merit. After this
board has passed upon the examination
papers they will be submitted to the
delegation for their consideration. Of
course the examination will be wriUen.
No hrrextion to Lynch.?As we
went to press on Monday, we I.ad
been informed that there was an attempt
made to lynch the negroes confined
in ja ', charged with burnng a
barn near the residence of Mr. Daniel
Hall, aboat ten miles from Winnsboro,
and of thesobseqnent removal of
one of the negroes to Columbia for
safe keeping.' From a thorough investigation
of the action of the crowd, and
statements made by them, we hardly
think there was any intention to
lon/tk A 1 V? A VI A
IJ iivlif Z.U.UKJU?ll IUC OUCilU uau guuu
reason to believe that such was the
intention at the time. He had been
informed on the evening before that
there had been murmurs of an intention
to lynch the negro, Ben DuBose,
and he bad expected to take the prisoner
to Columbia on the morning
I
fteightj bttt thottgh it was hftrdly necessary,
as there would be a large
crowd in town on Salesday and that
an attempt would hardly be made in
da}lteht. The crowd went up into
the jail, we are informed, to see if
anything could be learned from the !
nt-groes which would tend towards j
showing their guilt of the crime charg-;
ed against them. Connecting what (
he had heard the evening before,
with the fact that the crowd \va< larger
than wa? necessary to make inquiries
of the negroes, the Sheriff ccitainlyl
had ample reason for funning the conclusion
which he did, and taking the
precaution to send the negro to Columbia.
From all that we could learn,
we think it hardly probable that any j:
harm to the negro was intended bv the j,
crowd.

A CARD.
To the News and Iltrald: We no?
tice in your i>sue of Tuesday, headed
"An Attempted Lynching," which we
suppose has reference to ourselves.
On Monday we met the jailor on the
street, and told him we would like to
accompany him into the jail, when he
went to give the inmates dinner, he '
told us to come in at 3 o'clock. We
went at the appointed hour and started
in the jail, our business being to speak j
to one of tne parties accused of burn- j
iug the crib on Mr. Hall's place last 1

rage and said he had this game played \
oil him once before, brit was sure it
would not be done again. We told
him at the time that he was entirely
mistaken, that we only wanted to j ,
speak to one of the inmates. If we j ?
have violated the law it was wholly ! j
unintentional. To prove further that | '
our intention was not to lynch the*e j J
parties, when we arrested them, we ,
promised them protection and a trial, i
they were earned to Mr. Hall's dwel- j
ling-, and one kept in the back piazza *
and the other in the kitchen until th^y
were taken to a place of trial. And if it 3
had not been that we begged the crowd
not take the law in their own hands, '
we feel assured that, they would have (
been killed before they reached the
jail. Their own color would have '
taken an active part in it. !

NOTES FROM WRITE OAK.
Messrs. Editors: Having waited to '
see if a more worthy pen than mine 1
would give through the columns of
your excellent and ever-welcome
paper some dots from this portion of i
the county, and seeing none, I will
proceed, with your permission. Xot- '
withstanding the stringency of the
money market, we have had the liveliest
and most enjoyable Christina?, by
old and young, that we have had for
many years.
The White Oak Literarv Society
gave an entertainment on the night of
the 17th December in the school-house
to a large aud attentive audience. The
first piece was au "Imitation of a

well, being encouraged by the applause
from the audience, when the curtain
cropped. They entered into the next
piece with renewed energy to hold, if
possible, the renown already won.
The second was "Marrying a Poetess

song by old Uncle Ned?"Lay Down

was interspersed *ith music on the
piano by Miss Nellie Lathan, assisted
by Miss Douglass, of New Hope.
Thus ended one,of the most enjoyable
entertainments that it has been my privilege
to attend in many a long day. At
times it was almost impossible to hear
what the actors was saying for the
applause by the audieiice. It was now
ten e'clock and the audleuce was loth
to leave, bat after -congratulations
the crowd dispersed for the night.
The Society met ou Monday night,
the 21st, and found, after paying all
expenses; they had a iiiee iitfteltattS =oti

apply the proceeds towards a Christ- ?

from the tree to go to the benefit of e
the orphans at the Thornwell Orphan- e

the room was placed a table groaning "5

Miss E. J. Patrick had charge of ti?e .j
