J A Fatal Accident.?"We were in- i i I formed on Thursday of the particulars of, | a serious accidcnt which occurred to a j j negro girl living on Mr. Vinson's j ! rdace. near White Oak.

A little negro girl sitting in one corner of the room, received the whole contents in her shoulder and head. She lived about an hour after the fatal accident. She was about fifteen ' j years 01 age. ? The Liex Law.?From what we could learn while in Columbia we feel i safe in saying that.lhere is a general de- j mand all over the State for a repeal of j the lien law. If those who were delegates to the Farmers' Convention j--?? '? ? nj ikoir VPCuP.r.tivG i committees the people desire it. They j j in a great measure attribute their! i financial strait to the operations of this j law, and they wish to have a change ! j either for the better or worse. It came i j verv near being repealed at the last i - . . ,, i i ! session of the Oi-enerai Assemoiv, ana ; I we think those who desire it will have i | their wishes gratified by the next j i Assemblv. i m The Memorial Association.?'The ; Ladies' Memorial Association met as j I advertised on Monday afternoon and ! | elected officers for the ensuing year, j I Mrs. Henry Gaillard was re-elcted ; President, Mrs. George MeMaster 1st | Vice-President, and Mrs. Gerig has i been appointed *2i:d Vice-President in ; | the piace of Mrs. Egleston who is | ; unable to serve.

Commit-; j tees were appointed for decorating the i I soldiers graves, and a programme of: j the celebration will be published in a j | future issue of the paper. The ladies ; j of the county are requested to unite j with us in celebrating a day which j ; will ever remain dear to us all. A Fatal Wife-beating.?The fol-1 lowing appears as a special from Blythewood, to the Columbia llegistcr on Thursday: Eliza McDaniel. coloredj living near this place, died this morning under rather peculiar circumstances.

Married "Women.?The following decision has been rendered under the recent decision of ihe Supreme Court, in Columbia os to the Act regulating the power of married women to contract: In the Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday an important and interesting decision was rendered by Judge Fraser, touching the rights ot marneu women to contract debts. The case which was before the Court was that of Kinaad vs. Kraft, Mr. Lyles for Kinard and Mr. Bauskett l'ur Kraft. The facts developed in the case were that Mrs. A. C. Kraft purchased goods from Mr. M. L. Kinard for her children, giving her note in payment. After a lapse of time Mr. Kinard sued on th^ nnic. The Court held that it did not appear that Mrs. Kraft held any separate estate for the benefit of which the goods were purchased, nor to which the purchase related or concerned, Mrs. Kraft, being a married woman, could not contract such a liability. The Columbia Church War.?The war which has been in progress for some time between some colored brethren in Columbia, resulted pretty seriously on Saturday night. The trouble had been in the courts, and on Saturday evening Judge Frasier filed his decree in the case. The members OI UiS CllUI't'll Willi mc uuat", tYtiu early ou the same evening and took possession of the church. When the other party went to take possession under the ciecrec on Saturday night, they found the doors barred and parties in the church. After demanding an entrance ami being refused, the "outs" proceeded to hammer the door down, but were saluted by a number j of shots from guns and pistols from the j interior, one of the bullets striking an j outsider in the abdomen, causing a serious wound, and another of the j outsiders received a portion of shot in j his leg. Tlie Sheriff then entered the <j building, and called ~upon tnein 10; surrender. The "ins" gave up and i were committed to jail. . New Railuoad Lease.?A very im- j portant railroad contract was effected j in Columbia on Saturday, and one j which must effect very materially our j people. The Richmond & Danville j Railroad effected a lease of the Green _r,i_ fkoi-wto ! ViliU cV L'UlUUIUI.l UI1U lilt ' Columbia & Ausrusta Ilailroads. foi*! ? ' I ninety-nine years. The Company re-1 cently leased the Virginia Midland, j and by this last contract they get pos- j session of Lwo of the most important roads in the State. The terms of the i lease are that the Company will pay j the interest, fixed charges and operat- > ing expenses of the road, and pay over j to the stock-holders all the net earn ings. While we may safely say that; the roads will be put in fine condition, j we can say with almost equal certainly | that our people will have to pay for it. I We may be mistaken, but think we! have been correctly informed, that; nearly all the stock of the road is! owned by the Richmond & Danville ! Company, and as a consequence the j net earnings will go into their own 1 pockets. This new deal makes it ; mnrp. imnerative for us to build the; new road and have some outlet. This should stir our people up and set them j to thinking. J OUR SJBW RAILROAD. r A. Large and Enthusiastic Meeting in the f Court House. Under the call of Mr. G. H. MeMaster, a large and enthusiastic rail road meeting was held in the Court \ House on Monday, to discuss the | question of building a railroad from (jamak, Ga., to Monroe, or some other ' point in North Carolina to connect with Norfolk, Virginia, and from' thence by boat to all Northern points. J Mr. Nathan Robertson was called to the chair, and Mr. R. M. Ilucy was requested to act as secretary. Majer T. W. Woodward then explained the object of the meeting, and discussed at i crimo tho nelfn11 tsurpe* vchir.h would come to the people of Fairfield, if the road was built. The granite j deposit in the county needed on)y to . be developed to become a source j of great wealth to the county, j As they are now situated, they c oald ' not be properly developed, but if we could get a new outlet to compete | with the road we now have, a force of. over three thousand hands could be . employed at wages ranging from fifty j to one hundred dollars per month. ! The people only needed to build this short gap to give them a through connection to all points North, South and Southwest. Mr. Chas. A. Douglass on the part of the committee who attended a rail road meeting sometime ago in Co- j lumbia, reported that the incorpora- j tors of the Abbeville, Greenwood & j Chester road had appointed a commit- j tee to inquire into the feeling of the j people of the counties along the line,! and to see what ccould be done. After ; briefly stating what was done at the ( meeting, he offered a resolution which rr.rt(N r? OTV. VV cfco auvpivuj iUAii^ xvi <a.^~ ; pointment of a committee of five to j investigate and report to a subsequent j meeting, the advantages of the present j route and to confer with other coun-! ties along the proposed line, and see what they would do. The ooject was to awaken a general euthnsiasm in favor of the road, and show the public the advantages which were promised in case the road was built. Mr. G. H. McMaster offered a reso-' lution which was finally adopted, providing that the chair at Ids leisure appoint one man from each township ! in the county to confer with the citi- j zens of the township from which he j was appointed, and to call township ! meetings in the interest of the road. Mr. T. K. Elliot opposed any measure which would impose a tax upoa the people of the county, and gave x statement of figures for considerate by the citizens. Mr. J. E. McDonald offered a rcs<v j lution in behalf of the people along % \ proposed line of road from Sheltonrs j to Camden via Winnsboro and Ridge- ' wav. nrovidin<? that the same com miltee of one from each township investigate the advantages which might be offered by building a road from these points. Major "Woodward offered, a resoluA tion which was unanimously adopted, ] authorizing the committee of one, J appointed from cach township to solicit private subscriptions to defray the expense of a survey of the proposed route. The meeting then adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. The following committee was appointed to lay the matter of railroad construction before the people in their respective townships and report progress at the next meeting: J. F. V. Legg, T. P. Mitchell, Jno. Gr. Mobley, T. L. Johnston, Samuel McConnick, F. M. L. Duke, Preston Rion, J. Turner Stewart, S. R. Ratland, W. X. Mason, J. K. Cook, J. B. Turner, Jno. W. Lyles, Jas. A. Brice, Hayne McMeekin. The routes proposed are as follows: One from Shelton's Ferry to Ridgeway and Camden, via Winnsboro; the other Rocky Mount to Alston, via Winnsboro. And that this committee be authorized to solicit subscriptions for the purpose of making- necessarysurveys, etc. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and every one seemed to shovV a determination to do something to remedy the present depressed condition of the county. All present seemed to realize the importance of the road, and we predict that in the near future it will be built. Mr. llobertson, of the Roanoke system, promises to give * J ? il A fn,. seven nuuurtju inuusu.uu uuu^io every one hundred thousand paid by the counties along the line. When we consider this fnct, together with the fact that he has promised by a letter, which was read in the meeting, to give our route a fair consideration, we feel sure that the road will be built.
