Mr. McMurray Acquitted.?It was j learned in VTinnsboro some time before the down traiu arrived on Thursday evening, through the bulletin board of the Southern Telegraph Company, that the case of the State vs. . R. H. McMurray, charged with arson, had been concluded, and that the jory had rendered a verdict of "Not Guilty". Our readers are familiar with the crime of which he was accused?burning the Thespian Hall at this place?aud the <->Ko ntro r,f nf trial from Fairfield to Chester county. The case came up on Wednesday before Judge Hudson at Chester. Messrs. Jas. H. Rion and O. W. Buchanan, of Wiunsboro, and Mr. Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, represented the prisoner. The evidence against the defendant was purely circumstantial, and this together with many conflicting statements made by himself, when accused of the crime at me utile it was nuiuuuueu, wusuvua-u the case of the State. Nearly all of Wednesday was consumed iu the examination of witnesees, and the case was not given to the jury until about one o'clock on Thursday. After remaining in the room for about twenty minutes they returned with a verdict of "Not Guilty".

"Meals and Mealtime" 5s a subject certain to attract, while "The Frenchwoman in the East" tells of two recent French travelers of the fair sex. A very carious article by a naturalist on what are popularly called Inca's Eyes solves all the mystery about these curious objects, concerning which so many absurd storiee have been running the rounds. The stories are all good. Besides the "Daughters of Cain," by Etta W. Pierce, there are short stories by Walter Edgar AleCan n, C. L. Hildreth, George Kirby, Elinor Brooke and Clarence M. Boutelle. THE BACHELORS IX SESSION. No e?ent in the life of the genuine Bachelor is anticipated with more pleasure than the anninversary which marks his initiation into that noble order, where he can revel in ali the glories of absolute freedom, the Bach??J *TT?*A? TKA AT/vtijK C1U15 XIV^UUVO uiuuu* xu?/ anniversary of this order was celebrated in handsome style on Friday evening last. At a recent meeting several new members were drawn in from the clutches of the common enemy, and the first business of the evening was to shew them the dangers they had so narrowly escaped, and point them to the way which leads to genuine happiness. To do this, it was necessary to initiate them into the mysteries of the order, according to the forms of the constitution. Messrs. D. A. and S. B. Crawford, the candidates for admission after "ascending the hill of difficulties," and traveling over the rugged path to happiness, and having answered all the interrogatories profounded by the President to the satisfaction of the Union, were dreesed in the regalia of the order, and received into fall membership of the-brotherhood. They then rccived the congratulations of their friends and were appointed to official positions. Mr. S. B. Crawford was made Grand Mogul of the order, and Mr. D. A. Crawford Perpetual Reporter. The next busicees of the Union was the election of officers for the coming year. Mr. T. W. Lauderdale was again re-elected President and Mr. George B. McCante" Vice-President. By a unanimous vote Mr S. B. Crawford was elected "Boss Masher*' for the next year, and pre sented with the big button. The big badge for the most consistentfBachelor b'fHie TJirion -was -"a^tfSbd - to tBe j President. In accepting itj he took occasion to pay that he hoped he wonld t ** -* *-A- Nlllafi > wear n more conisjsteuiy wuu iuc i uuo . than his predecessor, the Grand Proseeating Attorhev; This completed the [ basiness of the evening, and with their j guests, Messrs. R. M. rtevis, Jno. S. j Reynolds and W. L. McDonald, they ; repaired to the Winnsboro Hotel I where an elegant repast had been prepared. Everything tempting to: the inner man was served in abundance j and it took 110 extraordinary observer to see that it was enjoyed by all present. Next came the toasts of the evening with their responses. "The Bar?its members corn maud the confidence of the enttrercommunity of all trades and profession^, with the exception of the horny-handed sons of toil." Mr. ^Jno. S.Reynolds respond-. ed to this sentiment, sho wing that they were absolutely necessary on certain ocasions, and merit the good-will of all classes. "The day we celebrate?the day all good Bachelors look forward to with greatest pleasure, and guilty dries with fear and trembling. May we all be spared to see many happy returns.'? Responded to by Mr. (jr. W. Ragsdale, who classed himself among the good ones and made some telling hits against the guilty ones. "The Married Man?unhappy croa- J tnro?thonffh not deserving our respect, i he shoald receive onr heartfelt sympa-1 thy." Owing to the absence of Dr. T. T. Robert so2 on sccoant of of sickness, the toast was drank in silence. J "Single Blessedness?oar happy! state. Let us always remember that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Responded to by Mr. E. B. Ragsdale, who seemed quite familiar with the J blessings of being single, as he had experienced them for many years. "The Press?the greatest power of - the preseni century - iuuy ewu uc always represented at oql* meetings by as fearless an advocate/as he who will speak in her behalf this evening."! Responded to by Mr. W. L. McDonald. "Winnsboro? If we are called to foreign lands, With strangers bound to roam, We'll never forget Winnsboro? Childhood's dear old home." Responded to in -verse bv President Lauderdale. '7*^ ,, ,. tU/v "llie ooutu Carolina uuiicgo?tu^ consecrated home of genras, from whose academic ' shades Jjave gone forth statesmen, poets,. pbilosephers and Bachelors." The Union was fortunate ie securing Prof. R. M. Davis to respond to this sentiment. In his usual entertainiug. style he reviewed briefly the rise of the South Carolina College in ante-bellum days, i'then its ! fall, and again its re-orgauiiotion a few j years ago and its bright prospect for j the future. From its walls had gone j forth the albesfc men of the State, some I of wbom were born ori Fairfield soil j and others still living within her bor- i ders. _ ?-? " "AMoan^Oratory?what it lacks in refinement it will make--up in eloquence." Responded to b,y Mr. S. M. Johnston to the~ merriment' of the entire crowd. The speaking over, the violins were brought in, and for sometime the Bacho!v\ne ami thpirornpsta werehismlventer ViV4w v-v*. e)-vvv f -?O?w tained. . It.,was Satarday morning before an adjournment was taken. All will join with us in.wondering how much pleasure could be concentrated iuto* so short a time. Thas passed off the eighth anniversary of the Bachelor's Protective Union. May its members live long to enjoy many more such occasions. ITEMS FJtOX BLYTHE WOOD. Everything is quiet in this section of the county. Some sickness among the children, caused from colds. The ex..1 citement in and around Doko, caused j by the measles, has passed off?no new j cases for several days. People have become weary of waiting tor the appearance of spring, and have commenced gardening. * Fires have been numerous in this j section lately. Mr. Blizzard had the mis j fortune to lose his house by lire one night last week. . , On Friday "night some person or persons attempted to burn the house of an honest, hard-working old colored man, by tfie nameof Harry Jacobs, two miles north of' this place, fortunately the fire was discovered in time to be extinguished. Both fires are supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Our School Commissioner has been visiting some of the schools in this section, and we hope the Doctor will honor ns all with his presence, for we are sure that the teachers as well as the pnpils will be benefitted thereby. There is a large Sunday school at Dr. Campbell's school-house with Mr. M. L. Braswell'as superintendent. The Kev. Mr. Vann. will preach at Sandy Level next Sundays There will be a meeting at Asbnrv Church the same day, conducted by Mr. Nelson Price. Owingto the inclemency of the weather the debating society was not reorganized last Friday. Miss Lelia Brown, of Ridgeway, has been visiting Mr. N. K. Melton and lamny.

Patrick's, his guardian. Dr. White was highly complimented by his Baltimore Professors for his dental skill and he is now engaged in extracting and repairing teeth successfully and satisfactorily. Our colored youths, under the leadership of Prof. Green Stevenson, have organized a Glee Club. They went out to seranade a dusky damsel the other night and while sweetest symphonies of rarest harmony were issuing from their stentorian vocal organs, the old man came to the door braudishing a dangerous-looting club, propounded the following angry interrogation to them: "What you niggers come here 'tradm* on me and my family ter?,J The band never waited to auswer his question, but beat a hasty retreat. Prof. Stevenson says that hereafter his i serenades will be given "lo de folks who*has some sense 'bontsuch things." A negro values his dog as highly as the poor Arab does his horse. A lean, half-starved, worthless female canine quadruped belonging to a colored citizen in this neighborhood, wandered from her master's premises a few j nights ago.

The gentleman pretended to be greatly interested in the dog and said he would like to own it. He offered the negro first a side of bacon, then a five dollar gold piece, then two acres of land, and finally forty acres of land and a mule thrown in in exchange for his dog. The j I negro considered the offers bona fide, i but after some hesitation rejected them all. Had he been poetic, ne wouiu doubtless have gone home singing. "They tempted me, my beautiful , For hanger's power is strong; They tempted me, my beautiful , But I have loved thee loo long." The-White Oak Farmers' Club held their regular monthly meeting last Thnrc^nv PvAninov Inasmuch as this Is the only agricultural organization in the county, the members felt that it was eminently right and proper for them to take the initial step towards calling a county convention of farmers j to elect delegates to the convention to be held in Columbia on the 29th of Anril. But after discussing the matter rtmT~'aifd icarefuTTy^ ffee5^ decidecTCo" wait nntil they could learn what the farmers in the other portions of the county were going to do in regard to this matter. The members were inclined to look with snspicion upon the movements of the "Agticultural Moses", at whose suggestion and under whose direction the State Convention has been called. They say that the farmer has wrongs, bitter wrongs that should be speedily redressed, but thsy consider Tillman's policy of arraying one class of citizens against another radically defective. They wish to see the political offices of the State and county occupied by the men best qualfied to fill them, irrespective of their vocation. However, feeling it to be their imperative duty to protect and promote the interest of their profession, if the farmers of Fairfield decide ' -1, " * TTOn _ io tase pari. iu uic vuiumum wvu? tion, White Oak will send down a delegation?one that will not be led by demagognes, but will perform its duty con Sole u tio a: T. ,fearl" s} Iv a n d j a diri on iv. ' philo. > * OUR PROSPEROUS NEIGHBOR. Messrs. Editors: A recent visit to Chester convinces me that it is on the road to prosperity. The puff of the steam engine can be heard in many directions. There is a manufactory of agricultural machinery aud a cotton seed oil mill which runs day and night, making.bii and meal and fertilizers. There ere also many other workshops. It is the first step which counts and Chester has taken the first step, and she is "safe. I was told that the section of coantrv between the court-house and Broad River, where formerly were large plantations and where negroes arc now numerous, indicates the same idleness, want of thrift and bankrnptcv which exist in all sections where negroes predominate in nam bers, iiut iu tnat portion 01 uie county, between the court-house and Catawba River, the farmers are prosperous, and nice dwellings, fine churches and good school-houses abound. In this section a village has sprung up around the Fishing Creek Factory, and land within a radius of three miles which five years ago sold for $5 per acre now cannot be bought for $15. Tn the face of this fact and of the fur ther fact that the utilization of the water power of Chester county would in a few years put into the pockets of the people of Chester county millions of dollars, her representatives in the General Assembly were so narrow in C3/-V of }lOQrf lUl'il YiCUO auu uau ov iii/uu uv the development of varied industries in our State, which without doubt is the only practical means of lifting our people out of the slough of despond, that they followed the lead of the agrarian element in Spartanburg county in its recent attack upon the factories.

Editors: In your papeu of the 17th inst. you very justly anil phrtinentlv say in the lenth editorial it^>m on the second p^ge, "Souie check uiist : be put upon this lynching, or them ? i no telling to what extent it may rdL. j The mob will soon attempt to do awa-^ j with the courts of justice altogether.*' I j This is true, and is certainly one ot tbje j j most dangerous and alarming symu. j 1 toms of the condition of our country). ! I This mob law embodies the elements ! l ! of confusion, disorder, anarchy. Au? while L have no word of justification j for it, yet I have no doubt that somr> j of the best men in our State are some-l j times engaged in it. Why? Becausfe ! our people have learned, and sadl^ learned, the great uncertainty of jus-, tice being meted out to culprits wher^ brought before oar courts, ou uim: coarts of justice sometimes become? | courts of injustice to the culprit. Foi* i our people know that so long as the L stubbornness or bribery of one man ; may legaliy set aside the judgment of i eleven men, what warrant have our tj people to suppose ihat justice will be | meted oat to trie cuipnt upon wuuse punishment the peace and order of society mast rest? Suppose 110 bill passed oar State Legislature or Con- j gress except when the vote was unani- | inous, is not the principle the same?* Is it not more importaut to society | that evil-doers be punished than the "passage of bills? Suppose our jury ' jaws "were so amended that a twothirds vote would convict a criminal, would it not be acting on a principle j recognized and endorsed by oar guv- j ernment? I shall say nothing about i the artifices and technicalities sometimes resorted to as means by which j culprits escape punishment. But these 11 added to the other lead many of the best people of our State, whether ever concerned in lynching or not, to distrust our courts. Restore to our people unwavering confidence in .our I courts and I believe lynching will cease. Now, Messrs. Editors, I am not one of those who in ignorance and recklessness denounce law and lawyers. Vol. fr-nrm if T,aw is fl beautiful SVS- ! tem and the basis of all order?no i order without if, neither in the natu-L ral, social, nor spiritual world. Ai^^ Jawyers have a high and noble and'J responsible mission to fulfill. But the beauty, benefit and strength of law are ; in its enforcement, not its evasion.

G., January 18,188i>, In the I thirty-fifth year of her ago. Her life was cut off in its prime, and judging from a human standpoint, she was taken at a period of usefulness when it seemed impossible to spare her. During a married life of seventeen years she became the mother of nine children, six of whom survive her and most of them of tender years. Mrs. McCarley was raised by godly parents, one. of whom lives to mourn her death, Mrs. Oxnor, her mother, who is _ j j flio "Ront.wfc rtlinrrth a uevui/eu lucmvci w ? here. At a very early age the deceased became a Christian and was baptized by that venerable man of God, the Jttev. William Elkin, at the liormah Baptist Church. Several daj-s be'ore her death she spoke tenderly and beautifully to her loved ones of their duties in life." As the end drew nearer she called her family around her bedside ?.nd sang in Christian triumph the appropriate song, "Jesus, lover of my soul." Bleeding hearts rejoiced in the hope that she was guided safe into heaven, and her soul was received at last. Faithful in life, calm and peaceful in death, she leaves sorrowing relatives and^fc&ardtHtfre* comforting assurance that with her, "it is well." c. G. B. ?HU rg "D ATJUT? mayboformdoaffleat Geo.
