We are glad to notice this improvement on oar business houses, and hope many more may follow the good example set by Mr. Beaty. ?Mr. Jno. S. Douelass. one of our largest and most successful farmers, can trace the title to his land back to the original grant of George HL He % has in his possession all of the transfers and the original grant. If all other men were as particular abotit their titles there would be much less litigation. New ADYEBTiSEJiEJiT.?Don'i fail to reaa tne new advertisement of L. Samuels, which appears in this issue. Ia his store will be found a first class stock of dry goods, and he will be pleased to see his many friends of the county. * Death.?"Weare pained to annouoce the death of Mr. Daniel D. Fenly, ^grhich occurred at b5s home in the -^southwestern section of the county on the 13th inst He was in his eightyninth year .ad had been in declining health fop wvmf* firop The fom?lTT I have our sympathy in their bereave ment. r Personal.?We were sorry to learn of the illness of Mr. F. H. HcMaster on Friday. He had not been well for some time, and came home to spend a few days on leave of absence. He got pretty well and returned to Co^ lambia a little more than week ago, bat & telegram to his father on Friday conveyed the intelligence that he was quite sick again. His physicians did not thiak it advisable to move him home, so he will remain in Columbia. , We learn that there are a number cf otaer students of the collie on the y, si;k list. The Columbia Election.?For some [ time a vigorous canvass has been in j | progress in Columbia over the municii pal election, which took place ou j j Thursday. Two candidates have beeD j in the field soliciting the votes of the j citizens for the mayoralty?Col. John i j T. Rhett and Col. J. Quit Marshall, j j The primary election came off onj } Thursday and was hotly contested by ! i the friends of both parties. JSotwith- j I standing the fact that Col. Marshall j I was the candidate of the young men | | who are apt to take more interest in ! such campaigns than men of maturer years, he was defeated by his opponent over one hundred votes. The re-election of Col. Rhett will give entire j satisfaction, we are informed, to the j citizens of the city. Petition for Pardon.?A petition for the pardon of Andy Robertson, who was convicted in this couuty in j . 1878 for burning the gin-house of Mr. j T. W. Rabb, near Monticeilo, has been forwarded to the Governor of the State, and by him forwarded to Solicitor McDonald for remarks. The Judge and Solicitor before whom the case was tried are both dead, and as Andy has been confined for a period of about nine years, a number of citizens in his immediate neighborhood ask for his pardon. Among the signatures we find the name of the prosecuting witness, and from this fact we judge | that the ends of justice have been met and that the prisoner will be pardoned. Sixth Regiment Survivors' Meeting.?The animal meeting of the survivors of (he Fairfield Division, Sixth Regiment. S. C. V., will take place in the Town Hall on Saturday the 10th April (the 11th being on Sunday). Every surviver should be present at that meeting as business of importance will be transacted; amongst other things the election of officers for the ensuing year, and arrangements will commence to be made for the next reunion of the Regiment. Our President expects all of the survivors to be present. o General Bratton is expected to meet with us and will give us some interesting talk about the war. So don't forget the day, ana lay aside all business and come and unite with us at our next social meeting. W. E. Kerr, Secretary. Sudden Death.?The town was shocked by the announcement of the very sudden death of Mr. John K. McCarley on Friday. He was taken with pneumonia on last Sunday morning-, and aside from his physicians very few perhaps were aware of the dangerous character of his complaint. EJo/^ tKo effort- fnnnr? Vi?o ^rtncfifntinn jl&au ivuuv* vvu^mvmwvu unimpaired he would probably have withstood it, certainly the fatal termination would not have been so sudden and unexpected, but he had been suffering for a number of years with a complication of asthma and heart disease, and consequently unable to stand severe illness. All who knew him will accord to the deceased the qualities of a very estimable gentleman, and his death will cause the deeDest regret to a large circle of friends. He leaves a wife and a number of children to mourn his loss. He was ruling elder in the Associate Reformed Presbyterfan Church of this place, and his remains will be interred in the churchyard adjoining at 10 o'clock to-day. A Fairfield Attorney Abroad.? "We are always pleased to learn of the success of our citizens who have left our county and sought homes in other Slates. The following from the Daily Citizen, published at Topcka, Kansas, will be of interest: A brief mention was made in last night's issue of the case of the Commonwealth company againt the State Journal company, et al., which was concluded yesterday after a trial lasting somcte'udays. The commonwealth company was represented by Peck & Johnson and Overmyer, and*the State Jonrnal company by S. N. Wood and A. M. Mackey. The case was an interesting one," involving a great many poiuts of law, and has been hard fought on both sides. Messrs. Wood and Mackey were complimented by 4-V.a A/vnwf Wo oKin or>/3 frrVi IUC WUll XVI ftwiv UliU (.UVIVU5U manuer it. which the case had been handled and presented to the court. They were not expecting to win the case in the district court, but were making a record for the supreme court. It us understood that should this decision be sustained by the supreme court, the amount involved, one way AIKAM fA PAmmAnmAoKK rtAm_ AUUUUIV1 vV IU& V/wUI UlvU TV \/MlUU WU1~ panv, is in the neighborhood of $10,000." Mr. Macfcey has only been in Topeka for a little more than a year, and the fact that he has been engaged in so important a case in so short a time is ample proof of the estimation in which he is held by the business men of that city. A DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. A Woman Decapitated and her Body Mntilatcd by a Railroad Train. The north-bound train on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, passing Winnsboro at 3.02 on Tuesday last, brought the news of a most dreadful accideut which took place a short distance below Simpson's Turnout It seems that a number of colored < people were returning from a funeral, and were walking on or along the railroad track. The train had slacked up, but was still running at considerable speed. On rounding a curve near the spot where the accident occurred, the engineer sounded his whistle, ard all of the negroes save one got off the track?crossing it before the approach nf the ?n<yin? On<s nf fho nnmW a woman named McMoore, wife of the Rev. McMoore, a Baptist preacher, was walking on the side of the track, and attempted to rush across before the engine could reach her-though, it seems, it was but a short J* t r _ i_A..-. L. ' instance irom izer. vue account is that she started across the track and then turned back, when she was struck by the engine. Another statement is that she was struck in trying to make her way across. However this may be, she was knocked down on the track, and the entire train passed over her before its headway could be stopped. Her head was dreadfully mashed?so mnch so that it is now said that it has not been found?the wheel, it seems, passingabout midway of the head, in front. Another statement is that the unfortunate woman was literally decapitated?her head rolling down off the track upon the ground beiow. The body was other wise mangled in a snocKing manner. Death was of course instantaneous. The dead body lay near the track till Wednesday morning, when it was taken in charge by the relatives of the ill-fated woman, placed in a coffin furnished by the Railroad Company, and decently buried. The coroner was notified, and we presume of course that an inquest was duly held before the interment. The coroner's report had not been filed when we went to press. From all the information we have been able to gather, the Railroad Company is entirely blameless in the mat ter. The engineer not only sounded his whistle, to give warning of his approach as he turned the curve, but promptly reversed his engine when he saw the dangerous position in which the unfortunate woman had placed herself. No precaution on his part, it would seem, could have averted the fatal accident. The unfortunate woman must either have failed to hear the sound of the whistle, owing to the high winds, or, what is more probable, lost her presence of mind and thus been reudered incapable of saving herself. The deceased was about fiftyone years of age. ITEMS FROX BLYTHEWOOV. For the past few days the farmers in this section have been taking advantage of the nice weather, and have been busily engaged in planting corn, fertilizing laud, preparing for cotton. The Rev. Mr. Vann occupied the pulpit at Sandy Level last Sabbath. He also organized a Sunday School, with Dr. S. W. Bookhart as superintendent. On Sunday, as Mr. Robt. Brown was returning from cnurch, his mule became frightened aud threw him, but fortunately ho was not seriouslr hurt. Doko is improving. The merchants i are having their stores painted. Captain Hogan had added much to the appearance of his. Our town has dad a chiropodist fcr sever*! day? and, judging from experience, your humble corresponds docs not pronounce him ru expert. A little child of Captain Wardlaw, that has been very sick for sometime, is recovering. Peach-trees are full of blossoms, and if late frosts do not visit us, peaches will be plentiful. Mr. W. J. Johnson is dealing more extensively in fertilizers this vear than usual. There was prerching at the schoolhouse near Dr. Campbell's 011 Sunday, by the Rev. Mr. Hartin. On Monday last, the school at Saafield, presided over by Mr. J. W. Jones, was honored by the presence of our worthy aad efficient School Com missioner, who, alter tearing a tew recitations, made some very practical and appropriate remarks. Mrs. Dunn, of Spartanburg, is visiting relatiues in this vicinity. Married,- at the residence of the bride's mother, March 24th, Mr. J. B. Cloud to Miss Olivia Higgins?the Eev. W. H. Hartin officiating. There has been, and there is at present, a great deal of sickness in the community. Mrs. br. JL. jbangiora and Mrs. John Riner have been very sick for several days. Mrs. Sallie Rosborongh died last Thursday night after several years' affliction. x. March 27, 1886. ITEMS FROM BLAIR'S. Having seen nothing in your columns from this section of the countv lately I will send a few items. Our public roads are in a very good condition. Prof. E. J. Dargan's school closed on the 19th inst. Some of our farmers have commenced to plant corn. Guanos are more extensively used this vear than last. "Waive Your Rent, Farmers", is the title of a new song- by the leading merchants. The Rey. J. C. McMullen, of Chester, delivered an eloquent and interesting sermon at the schooi-honse on the 21st iust. It has hitherto been supposed that the word Iowa signifies "Here I Rest"; but a writer in the Iowa Historical Record asserts that it means "The Sleeninw Peonle". r0 1 ? Owing to the snap of cold weather, the grain which was planted in November and December of last year has died out. The second planting is looking very promising. Our mutual friend Mr. "VVm. EderJngton, woo has been busily engaged in writing reminiscences of this county, has been confined to his room for several weeks, and is improving very Slowly. - iVlEDAW. ITEMS FBDX HALSELL TILLS. An Interesting Budget of Local Happenings?Th.e Farmers aad the Crops and Other Matters. I do not often see any communication from oar section to your paper. As the farmers are all very busy just now arranging for another crop, there is not mnch nasainff abont and conse quently bat little news, as it takes tramping to carry it. There seems to be a good deal of sickness of one kind or another in oar section. So far as I know all of the physicians are busy; but Dr. C. C. Estes has been riding both night and day for some time. Onr oommnnitv insfc to-dav hnried Mr. John Stevenson, an aged, valuable and highly esteemed citizen. Mr. Stevenson was about seventy-four years of aze. leaves his third wife, and had been a member of Uool Branch Baptist Chnrch more than thirty years. His days had been fall of honest toil, integrity of character and nsefalness. Our farmers are beginning to prepare in earnest for another crop?of cotton. They all talk very nicely about the importance of raising grain, saying that they are going to plant more corn and less cotton, bat if they are preparing for more corn, it must be out of sight of the public road. I suppose each man knows his business best and has a right to attend to it in his own way; but if I were autocrat of this country, I would be meddlesome enough to regulate by law the amount of cotton each farmer should plant to the plough. Cotton is a delusive, misguiding crop. It will work any man to death, feeding him on corn bread and middling meat, and it forces him to call on the State to go his security even for that. I believe that many an honest-hearted fellow has gone under and passed as a semi-thief, when he had been cheated out of all by the delusive sophistries of Cotton. The outside world esteems the Southern cotton planter as a very stupid fellow, and everybody here thinks that his past miserable failures and wretched experience are not worth a brass button in teaching him to do better. If any one will take the pains to carefully estimate the difference in the quantity of land a laborer can work in corn or cotton, and the differ ? - :?-3 i ence 111 toe umt: lequueu uv uiaiuic and gather each crop, he will find that corn at five bushels per acre pays better at present prices. It might be really useful to some yonng farmer hesitating as to what he ought to plant to calculate. I have not the shadow of a doubt but that the corn will be ahead, and when he considers that he is compelled to have the corn, fodder and peas, he will surely conclude that it is supreme folly to work with cot ton at all until atter ne nas raisea supplies enough to do him. All our people should be deeply interested in the management and saccess of our educational interests. I am not as well posted as to the condition and progress of the schools in our township as a public officer should be. The public funds cau be easily frittered away and do no one much good but the teachers. The people seem to look upon the public school as a sort of gratuity?a something they have picked up in the road and therefore made clear?forgetting, if nothing else suggests itself, that the time of the children is exceedingly precious. Hence X have thought that it might be well to make it to tne interest 01 trustees to see after the public schools. I think, however, that I can safely say that the school at the Crosby Institute, under Miss ITannie Keller, is well managed and altogether worthy of the support it is now getting. Messrs. J. F. Coleman & Bro. have sold out their entire stock of goods to C-pt. D. P. Crosby, of Herbert. It is not iny information that they expect to 511 up again. Mr. J. B. Crosby also sold out his stock to the same party. Mr. Crosby is now reading law, as I near, a"a i'eciung co some gcuuciuau of the profession at Union. Mr. Crosby is very fond of iJCOks, ^ with good academic training, and blessed with an intelligent, logical order of miud. He has many friends who wish for him the highest success. Herbert seems looming up as one of the predestined places of our land. Not Jong since, to ray knowledge, about two hundred bales of cotton were sold in two days at prices fully up to those paid at points where they had greater adv&ntagee as to freight. Capt Crosby, who owns both Shelton and Herhert. is without doubt one of the most thorough-going citizens in our count}-. He has been using a bell for some time at Herbert, and has also ! erected one over his barn on the home place. This may be made of use to some of his neighbors. Mr. J. K. Nevitt has sold his farm to Capt. D. P. Crosby, including stock, etc. There was some talk of his leaving for Arkansas, but I sincerely hope, aud so do many others, that "Uncle Joe" will conclude to remain and end his mortal pilgrimage here among his lifelong friends. It is extremely hazardous for an old man to go to a new country. A large number of blacks left this section for Arkansas during the winter. Personally I hare failed to hear anything directly as to how they are satisfied, but I heard an intelligent colored man say that he had recently read a letter from a woman, advising her friends "for God sake not to come to Arkansas." This scribe has never been in favor of throwing any obstacle in the way of the colored people leaving if they desire to go. There is no possible danger of enough going to hurt this country seriously. I trust that the other good citizens of the county will not regard us in this far off section as devoid of enterprise and energy. We also love variety and occasionally throw it into our trades with one another. Mr. James Dickerson recently traded one of his horses for a wagon-whip, and received a sow and pigs, a note, and I do not know what else, to boot. I aon'i Know wnetner tne compnmeni belongs to the whip, animal, or to Mr. Dickenson's ingenuity. j. d. m. Halsellyille, March 20.
