Ice.?This well known sign r-as recently been piaced in position by the j | proprietor of the Winnsboro Ice House, i informing the public where to keep cool during the summer. He has a good supply, gathered from our own county during the winter, and will be giad to furnish it in any quantities to our citizens at reasonable prices.

Death.?We were sorry tc learn of the death of Ralph Madden, infant of Mr. and Mrs. John Vinson, which occurred on Monday last, lie had not been well for several months, and when pneumonia set in a little more than tw9 weeks ago, it was found that he would "not be able to stand the disease. The remains were interred at White Oak 011 Tuesday. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of a host of friends in their loss. Agriculture.?The monthly report of the Agricultural Department $f South Carolina has just been received ! at this office. It contains the analysis ! of commercial fertilizers, besides a! number ot articles on agricultural j subjects. Among the number we may i mention the translation, by Mr. Chazal J State chemist, of the report of the ! French Minister on agriculture on the ! mildew on grapes and its remedy. The whole sheet is nicely gotten up. Our Colored Firemen. ?On Friday last the Hook and Ladder Company gave their annual picnic. The "Regulors" Engine Company No. 2, were _ _ J ~x- a. i lie llivueu guesis Ul ine xjlwr <mvt Ladder Company. After a parade through the principal streets of the town the crowd assembled in the grove in rear of Col. Rion's, where a bounteous repast had been prepared and to which full justice was done. Our colored firemen are always promptly i on hand in case of fires, and merit the j best wishes of the citizens of our town.} The Jb'r.oral t aii:.?rue annum i floral fair is always a good time to | visit the "City by the Sea." It will i commence this vear on the 2Sth inst., I ' i and continue for three days and nights instead of four as has been previously announced. The railroad companies have reduced the fare to the small sum of four cents per mile for the round trip, and will place tickets on sale on the 26th, 27th and 28th, good to return until May 3d. This is a good opportunity to visit Charleston, with little, cost and see the city in the spring time. Xk\v Advertisements.?We call at teution to the announcement of Messrs. J. M. Beaty & Bro., found in another column. They propose to make an improvement on their building, and to do this it becomes necessary to reduce their stock. Until the 1st May they will ofier rare bargains 111 tneir line of goods, and the people of Fairfield worild do well to take advantage of the opportunity of getting good bargains. Read the new advertisement of Messrs. McCarley & Co., and see what they are offering id the grocery line. Parties will do well to call and examine their stock. Meeting of the Medical Association. The State Medical Association met at Camden on the 21st inst. A number of important- and interesting essays were read by the members on different medical subjects. The mem* - ** x O i _ a _ T? _ J _ ? oers ot me present oiace i>oaru ui Health were renominated for appointment by the Governor. Drs. J. J. Chisolm and F. L. Miles, of Baltimore, and Dr. Samuel Logan, of New Orleans, were elected honorary members. Eighteen counties were represented at the Association, and we are sorry to see that Fairfield had no representa tive present, at least we could find 110 notice of representation. An* Important Case .?Judge Fraser, in the Court of Common Pleas at Columbia, bas been engaged for several days in bearing some important railroad suits. The cases were the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroads against "W. H. Gibbes, treasurer of Richland county. These roads contest the right of the Railroad Commission to be paid by assessments on the different roads of the State. It is hoped in these cases to get a general decision covering all the roads of the State, as the case of the Greenville & Columbia Railroad decided some time ago seemed only to discuss the particular rights under the charter of that road. The railroads were represented by Colonel James H. Rion and the treasurer by Attorney-General Miles. His Honor reserved his decision in both cases. Memorial Day.?It has been cnsf/imorr f<-> nKeon-n tViio /^or tfio 1Aih W\SLXIC*IJ iv vucvi ?LUio 5 wnv* xvlu of May, iu Winnsboro by suitable exercises, and in decorating the graves of our fallen heroes who sleep in our cemeteries, with the fresh flowers of spring. We have heard of no action on the part of the ladies, who, by the way, are generally the leaders on such occasions. The time will soon be here and it is a duty which we owe to the Confederate dead to sec that at least once a year their deeds of valor are remembered by the living. While other cities and towns are building monuments to the Confederate dead would it not be well for the people of Winnsboro and the county to take some decided step looking to the erection in our town of a monument to those who fought so nobly but rerished in the struggle. Tt i<? true they have raised for themselves* by noble acts, a monument of glory which tJmo fan ntiwr rtasfrnv. Rat tile livill?T owe it to them as well as to themselves ! to see that with each returning spring ! their graves are decorated with flow-j ers from the land which they loved so J well. Poor Mui.k's Fkikxix ?The commit-! tee of twelve appointed by the Farmers' Convention to witness and report I upon the performance and general good qualities of the Poor Mule's Friend Sweep, report that they have done so. The trial, although limited, was satis factory, and we have 110 hesitation in saying that we condsider it a first-class j inplement and even worthy of trial. T. \V. Woodward, Chairman, j R.

Survivors' Meeting.?The Survivors' of Companies C and F Twelfth South Carolina Volunteers, met in the Court House, in Winnsboro, S. C., on Saturday, April 24, JSSlj. In tho absence of the President, Capt. J. A. Hiunant was unanimously elected president yro Lcm., and J. R. Boyles secretary ^ro tem. The object of the meeting being for the purpose of locating the next place for holding the anniversary reunion of the Regiment, after some discussion Fredericksburg, Va., was designated as the point, provided cheap rates can | be obtained from the railroad officials. I Tf ?rtAAnir?Ktlin/l i f troc? I II tills UilllliUl UU UUi^UUJ W1JOIJV1.1, u II UJ I agreed that the command go to Bay j Point, the scene of the bombardment , upon us by the Yankee fleet in Novem-1 ber, 18G2. A committee was appointed to see the railroad authorities, ascertain lowest rates, and report at the next meeting. It was further resolved that the sec retary correspond with the other companies in York, Lancaster, Kiel land, Pickens and Oconee counties, and ask their co-operation with us in this movement. Adjourned to meet on or before 1st July next. The Farmers' Meeting.?The meeting of farmers, called by Mr. W. S. j Hall, the Pre-ident of the County J Club, look place on Saturday last, j The attendance was about the same as j at the former meeting. The President | stated the purpose of the meeting in i about the same terms as those em- j ployed in his recent letter to The ! News and Herald. Mr. S. R Rutland was requested to j act as secretary. Mr. Rutland stated that under the j action of the former meeting the lines j had been so sharply drawn, that some I good farmers had boen excluded. He j moved to reconsider that action; which j motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. S. R. Johnston offered a resolu- j tion to the effect that the county or-1 ganization should consist of those only j whose main support is derived from j agriculture. This motion called forth ! = ! quife a debate, during which several | suggestions were made, without being ! acted upon. Finally, on motion ofi Major Woodward, the following sub-j stitute was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That all who are farmers j be considered members of this con- j vein ion. The delegates elected at the meeting ; on Salesday, to .represent the county at the State Convention, were unani- j mously chosen anew. The meeting then adjourned. Richlajcd Farmers.?At the meeting of the farmers of Richland county,, held in Columbia on Saturday last, the following resolutions were adoDted: Whereas, a convention of farmers is called, to meet in Columbia on the 29th instant, for the purpose of devising some means, if possible, to relieve the present depressed condition of agriculture in the State; and, whereas, this club cordially and heartily approves of any movement honestly and sincerely ma le in the interest and for the promotion of our beloved profession: Resolved, By the Richland County Farmers' Club, that the delegates elected to represent it in this conven lion be instructed to use their best > efforts to promote the best interest of farrares while studiously and zealously respecting the rights of al! other classes. Iiesolved, That oar delegation be pledged to oppose unalterably the introduction of any political matter whatever in any shape or way into said convention, as such action would, in the opinion of this club, be a direct and IVital blow at the unity and integrity of the Democratic party, which must at all hazards and at any sacrifice of personal feelings be maintained intact, and should said convention determine to discuss political questions they shall withdraw should they deem it advisable. The above resolutions seem to us to be the most sensible view to be taken of the present farmers' movement. We judge from them that it is the intention of the farmers of Richland to enter the convention, not for political purposes, bnt as an organization similar to the Medical or Bar Association of our State, for the purposes of elevating and encouraging agriculture as a profession. This seems to us should be the aim and object of the convention which is to assemble in Columbia on Thursday, and if it is the whole people of the State will join with us in wishiug the delegation God speed in their efforts. THE RAILROAB MOVEMENT. Messrs. Editors: Much has been said in reference to tJie future development of our county. How can it be accomplished is the great question. There is a difference of opinionsome contending for one thing and somef or another. But all are looking to agriculture as the | great lever to lift her from her J J " [ present state to a higher plain. We I need a diversity of pursuits; we are j not a progressive farming people, and are slow to take hold of anything that looks new. We need to be aroused j from this deep sleep, and branch out j into the new fields now opening and ! inviting. I think "Farmer" lias struck tbe keynote wheu he speaks of a railroad from Alston to the falls. There is nothing so practicable, nothing so promising, and nothing that will develope this county so completely as this road. There is millions in it, and he is blind indeed who cannot see it. ; A road that will extend from Maine to ! the Gulf through the mcst fertile sec- j tions of our couutv. ana yec me leasi ; tilled, skirted all along the entire ! length with the finest granite known. I "VVe cannot afford to sit with folded hands and see this golden moment slip by unimproved. The granite alone 1 will more than compensate for any outlay of money. Besides, we have at the east end of the county a water power unsurpassed by any other. To {; develop this should be the aim of all. , Was there ever a more favorable ; period than the present presented to < any people? I think not; and we should see that Fairfield's claims are , pressed in this matter. She can offer ! better inducements and she is in a condition to lend substantial aid to the i enterprise. She is free of debt, and < by embracing this golden opportunity can put her on a high plane of future prosperity. Citizen. ' m a r>*r\ T?x>r\-\r n Messrs. Editors: The letter of ray J friend, Maj. T. "W. Woodward, which, ; through your kindness, recently ap- J peared in the columns of your interest- \ ing paper, was not intended by me to < be published; but since it has been, will ; you kindly grant me a small space to 1 bespeak for it, if any should deem it 1 worth notice, a just and fair criticism? I am aware that, in the present status of the Farmers' Movement, it is very natural for others to closely watch { every step, and perhaps be too prone ' to interpret what is not so intended, \ as antagonistic to them. A just inter- < pretation of tny letter sustains the re- ' mark that it is not an attack on the lawyers, but a plain setting forth of a state of affairs of which the lawyers . are the chief instruments?I cheerfully add, the able and honorable instruments?upon whom the aforesaid letter " in no wise seeks to cast censure. I ] would do violence to any own convic- \ tions of ri^rht and justice, in making an ( attack on them, that would convey, by / the faintest implication, the impres- \ sion that I favored a movement that would exclude them "root and branch" 1 from office, or would have as a result { the inhibition to the courts even to construe the laws. Personally I en- J tertain only kind feelings for the lawyers. I flatter myself I have some good and true friends among i them. As a class they are gentlemen < of ability, culture ana refinement, worthy to participate in the offices and the management of public aftairs, and " I have no doubt, will always do so. 2 But it is manifest, and to none, I suspect, more clearly than to the lawyers : themselves, that our government is an 1 oligarchy. Hence as true patriots, j and I know they are as true'as any ( other class of our citizens, it is confidently hoped, not only that they will not oppose, but will freeiv give their powerful aid to cure this evil. Friend "Tenant" thinks it unfortunate that I used the expression, "a " government of the people, for the peo- pie, by the people", etc., as the law- f vers will try, as he alleges, to make out that it is inconsistent with the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the . United States. I am not sure I correctly ] apprehend "T.'s" meaning. I am re- I luctant to accept the rational deduction from this language. If I am correct, ] however, I will attempt to reassure [ "T." by the suggestion that if the "! government of the State by the Democratic party is consistent with the aforesaid amendments, then the lan guage of my letter, as quoted above, is 1 consistent with them also. TKo fin*!rlprlnf.Mnn that', mav nos- - sibly be drawn from "T.'s" language, r viz.*. that the lawyers will encourage ? dissensions?, and hold over U3 the i menace of negro rule, if there is an j attempt to disturb the present oligarchy; or, in other words, t! at they will ruin, if they cannot ruie, I reject as unworthy of consideration. If this is * "T.'s" meaning, let me assure him that he does this most worthy class of our citizens profound injustice. None will . lllUJC VlgVJLUU&JV vppvac ouv/u an tuvi t than they. * ( Hayne McMeeki>:.
