I\. Elliott's residence a few days ago. f ' They each measured about sir feet in length, and were veiv near together when killed. ?The passenger trains on the Richmond r Danville Railroad, South Carolina Division, have been crowded for the past week, as all travel which would naturally go by way of the r Greenville & Columbia and Spartanburg & Union Railroads, has to go around by way of Charlotte. i>ow is the time to get a good Cincinnati Open or Top Buggy, ThreeSpring Wagon, Turnout Seat Buggy, Platform Spring or Farmer's Wagon, with snafts or pole, Single or Double Harness, cheap for cash or bankable apper, f>*om J. O. Boag. * ?A special train carrying a large force of hands passed up the railroad on Tuesday, to be ready on Wcdnesl day morning to commence the work of r changing the gauge on the Atlantic, *? Tennessee & Ohio Division of the ^ Richmond & Danville system. The Hk work on this road was completed in one day. ?We learn that the school will be HHF closed on the 1st of June, as it is Hp thought unadvisable to continue it to the end of the session, on account of f the work of putting up the new college ? building. This will be weicornc news Jt to the pupil?, who have already been counting- the days until the school would close. ?The ar ihorities of the South Carolina College will accept our thanks for an invitation to attend the commencef ment celebration of the Literary societies on June 21st and ^22nd. We are glad to notice the name of Mr. "W. D. Douglass, of our town, on the invitation. He will represent the Euphradian society as Junior Orator. ?Mrs. Boag has now opened her stock of Spring and Summer Millnery, .J to which she respectfully invites the inspection of her friends and patrons generally. Call early and be suited. A full stock of Dry Goods, Fancy Goods, Notions, Groceries, and everything usually found in the general 1 J?-? A 11 ^ fA KA fnnn/1 of mercnanuisc uue. xxn- w x^u.^ the store of J. 0. Boag, as low as the lowest. * ^ A Request.?The building cora^ mittee in chaise of the Mount Zion College, request us to ask the little boys who visit the new building in the evening, not to disturb the men who are at work. They have annoyed the workmen very much for the past few ? days, and it would be well for the ?&.. parents to forbid them going there at ^ all, unless they can conduct themselves ' aright while there. Death.?On Thursday litte Annie Louisa Roche, who had been suffering for some time with measles, was relieves of her paiu and called to a higher and happier world. For sevf' eral days she lingered between life and death, and friends had given up hope of her recovery. She was about seven teen months old. Her remains were laid away in the grave-yard adjoining the Methodist church. The family has the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement. Captured in Abbeville.?Trial Justice Cathcart on Thursday received a telegram from the Sheriff of Abbeville, informing him that Sandy Robertson, the negro who is charged with an outrageous assault upon a colored girl in this county a few weeks ago, had * - a - .a t. . a Deen captured in mat county ana nau t been lodged in jail. As soon as the m railroads are put in traveling condi^ tion, an officer will go to Abbeville and - bring the prisoner to this place for trial. "Work Begins.?On Monday Mr. Asburv, the contractor from Charlotte, who is to put up ^the new College building', arrived with a crowd of nands and on Tuesday the wort ot laying the foundation was commenced. The work will go on as rapidly as possible, but he tears that he will be delayed some on account of the work of changing the gauge of the railroads, and for this reason cannot -get his material here as rapidly as he would W like. He has already been delayed on ' account of the heavy floods of the past week. ?Food for the brain and nerves that will invigorate the body without intoxicating, is - what we need in these days of rush and worry. . Parker's Tonic restores the vital energies, soothes the nerves, and brings W good"health quicker than any thing you ^ ^ can use. " "f y I 1 ! The Caliioux Monument.?Trie\ r News and Courier savs that the granite I; . ' for the second course of the foundation r . i of the Calhoun monument arrived t ; ? ! from Winnsboro on Thursday and has r [ been hauled to Marion Square, where i c in will be placed in position a> soon as a . i the work on the first course shall have t been finished. The stone is dressed c ; and consists of blocks about five feet t > in length, one foot six inches deep and , j: > one foot seven inches wide. The i c [ second course will form a hollow- a | squre of thirty-three feet, the interior j r '; of which is to be filled up with Stoncy | c ; Landing brick. j i: A Joint Picnic.?At a recent rueet-j ; ing of representatives from the differ-1 c j ent Sunday-schools in town, it was ; ( ; thought unadvisable to have the joint ; j_ | picnic either at Columbia or at Hock j f | City, as proper railroad facilities I v j could not be obtained and there were ! ]_ other difficulties in the way. It was J a ! decided by them to have the joint ] ( I picnic at Gum Spring woods on the 9th i c , j June. It is a very pleasant place to spend ! v a day, and the scholars arc looking j g | forward to the event with great pleas-1 v i ure. The committee on transportation i r i will make all arrangements for taking i j, , I the children out to the grounds in the j j. | morning and bringing them back in the : I afternoon. A pleasant time is antici- j ^ pated. i 2 k ' c Personal.?Mr. J. II. Yarborough, | | Q 1 of Dawkins, returned from Columbia i , i l\ i on Wednesday, where he had been to j ? J stand an examination for admission to J l' ' I the bar. lie informed us that there ! 1 I f" ! were sixteen applicants, but out of the j } : j sixteen only seven admitted. "We ! 1 ' | congratulate him upon being among . : the successful seven. The Court seems i i c '; to be getting more rigid in the exami- | j ; nation every term. ! Mr. O. W. Buchanan, who was I I elected Grand Master of the Iiv.lcp?n- | 1 i dent Order of Odd Fellows at a meet- ' ' i G ! ing of the Grand Lodge in Chester a j j few days ago, is the youngest Grand j I \ro5fm- m-pr elected in this State. We i congratulate him upon his success. ! c . ; i j A Severe Storm.?We learn that on last Friday afternoon a very severe i a storm of wind, rain and hail visited j the Jenkinsville section of this countv j t] I * i ?the effects being- most disastrous in j j j the neighborhood of Shiloh church, j I The gin-house, the barn and the crib j ^ ' of Mr. Joseph Iv. , Cook were de* j rj stroved, and one of the chimneys of I i his dwelling-house was badly injured, j ^ | An outhouso on the plantation of Mr.! ! Joel McMeekin was blown down, and f ? j some other damage, mostly slight, was ; j done 011 the place. The cotton of Mr. j o | Wm. F. Stanton was well-nigh totally I , j destroyed by the hail. Hillsides and i I gulleys were badly wassed. We have j I been able to gather no farther details ! ! of what appears to have been a most j ^ i disastrous storm, but we hope to have ' ; them later. p "I am Wil> You".?On account of j the many issues which will enter the e j approaching campaign, our shrewd a ; politicians are balancing themselves ^ j upm the "fence". It reminds us very a ! much of what a eolored man once said n ! at a ballot box in our State, when tne ~ tl question df "fence law,or "no fence law", was voted 011. This colored 0 j man came up to vote, when he was j surrounded on all sides by advocates P | of both sides of the question who were *c j inquiring whether he was for "fence law" or "no fence law". Xot knowing ^ {just what was meant by the inquiries, ~ j and seeing that some men on 'both i sides looked as if they might strike, he j just sang out, "Gentlemen I am wid | you in this thing." This is about the ^ way that our politicians put in. the ^ present issues. q Petit Jurors.?The following is a ^ lis of petit jurors drawn by the jury commissioners on Wednesday, to serve at the June term of tbe court for this county: James K. Stephenson, Charles Hays, C( John Lawhorn (colored). Edward L. C( | Mobley, John S. Ligon, Wm. J. Clow ney, John "Wootan, Win. Jb". U iNeai, ^ John Kennedy (colored), Thomas Blair, D. P. Crosby, T.

Kelley, Ben Calvin tj (colored), Charles B. Blair, Thos. It. ^ Sterling-, Edward D. Mobley, N. A. s: Peay. ^ A Missing Cup.?Two summers ago a Mr. R. J. McCarley was awarded, a ^ cup for fine shooting at Warm Springs, s j which, at the lime, was supposed to c j be silver, but upon examination it ^ I was found not to be. Last September I " ! it was taken back and a silver one: 15 rr j awarded in its stead. Mr. McCarley 1 J never received it. It seems that about s j the 1st of last September, Mr. T. II. 0 - - - In ; Gibbes, of Columbia, handed the box ~ ! containing the cup to some one of our townsmen who happened to be in ^ Columbia, to bring it up and deliver it 11 to the owner. In a recent letter Mr. a Gibbes informed Mr. McCarley, in ^ reply to a letter of inquiry, that he had 5 delivered it to some one who was * coming to Winnsboro on the same dav, -' <. but had forgotten who the gentleman k was. It is supposed that whoever it | j was, has just laid it away and for- j s | gotten to deliver it. "We are requested j a | to insert this in the hope that the I 1 [ circumstances will be recalled and the ! * ! cup delivered to its owner. ) s - - -- ! a Columbia's Street Railway.?On c j Tuesday last a city railway company j j was organized in Columbia, under a j i I charter obtained from the Legislature | I two years ago. The corporators are | j | Col. T. D. Gillespie and Capt. W. D. j t j Starling, of Columbia, and Col. John j : R. Abney and Mr. II. M. Pearson, of J t Xew York. A meeting will be held J v ! in a few days for tie election of ofBcers j t and a board of directors. It has s always been a matter of surprise to the cl public that they have not had a street ail way in the city before this, as it | las improved very much in other i espects, and the situation is favorable ! o such an enterprise. The proposed J oad will traverse the principal streets j >f the city, and the streets leading to: ill the railroads and those leading to he asyluui. If the enterprise is sue-' essfully carried on;, it will add much ! o the convenience of the traveling: >ublie, and to the improvement of the ity. Columbia seems to be wide ,\vke upon the subject of improve-; nents, and the in.'.-n who are at the head ; if the railway enterprise are staunch . Qen and are as-ured ot its success. A Lively Rack.?On Tuesday our i hief ot police received a comuiunica- i ion from the chief of police of Columtia, telling him to be on the lookout or one Ben Drown, a colored man, vho was wanted in that city for house- \ ^ ! ireaking and grand larceny. juscj .ftcr walking out of the postoflice, Mr. ! Gilbert spied his man, who had gotten j >f the train at Simpson's Turnout and ; talked to town. lie arrested him and farted on his way to the guard-house ' vlien his prisoner to llight. After j novin^ through lots and over fences i iOtiy pursued by a good crowd of men j te was captured by Mr. Groeschcl, list south of Mr. A. N. Timing's resi- ; lence, and afterwards lodged in I he ' .* ., ? :uard-house to await the arrival of an ; ifficer from'Columbia. The prisoner! i mce lived in this place, but left a i'ew i ears ago and went to Charlotte, but 1 lad to leave that city on account of! he commission of some crime, and j rom there went to Columbia. "When ! ie was arrested on Tuesday, lie had a ! leat alligator satchel with the name j ' I Vcbb L. Fant in it. lie had probablv | tolen it from some one, for when j ie was questioned about it he said ! ie had bought it new, but when asked o explain the name in it was consid- j rably embarrassed and could give no j xplanatitfii.

There is much sicf ness in this por ion of the county at the present time. Ir. J. Allen Turkett has been very ick for two weeks.

How the Farmers May Do Themselves Good, and Also Help Posterity. Messrs. Editors: Some may think that a revolution in agricultural pursuits in thts and the adjoining counties is a theme already steeped in musty logic, but old soldiers tell us that to throw a wall or take a fort, it required not the thundering crash of one great gun but the ceaseless booming of many. So must it be now to revolutionize the present system of farming in Fairfield?a system that has brought sad experience to every farmer, and, in most cases, conviction. According to all accounts, for the last twenty years the farmers have gone on, all oblivious of the curse of cotton and the Lien Law, and at the same time if any realized the true state ol things they made no effort a* all, or if any, an insane effort, to free theni selves?willing' 10 go on, mo uuuuu slaves of poverty. A quietly folded his hands, threw his once fine plantation into the hands of idle, ignorant negroes, who cut to pieces, robbed, drained and ruined it, while nothing accrued to the negroes or the landowner, while .be lattcr's topmost sentiment was "Going I? quit farming." I> would involve himself m * wild and tangled credit business, then with ?!i_ uncommon amount of dust and scattering would fall through?all the woi'so off. This is the rule; of course ' \Ta there are some exceptions, nuw * new pl&.n is coming to the front?must come. Deliverance from the old is what we want. Whence shall it come - from railroads, corporations, conventions or legislation? Certainly not. Ju>t imagine a community of farmers, listening to the thundering of the railwav train lor a living. The farmer would soon become so he could not transport his thin body over its line for a half-cent per mile. Of what avail are the windy speeches and empty resolutions of the convention? As for legislation, no State has a better Legislature, nor one in which there are more farmers. None of these things arc strictly needed, from which to evolve a new order of things. Though contrary to the theory of some, deliverance must come by the way of the plough?an energetic and scientific manipulation of the plough, coupled with an utter disregard for the credit system?throwing down the ready dollar upon the mer- j chant's counter for value received. I The questiou here arises how to get that dollar, or more of them. Well, it is not by "farmers' covention" etc. Brother farmer, it begins with you | individually. You have had the wolf | long enough- turn loose. If there is no way to get over the fence to turn loose, let go any way?let go?let go, at all hazards?and it is likely the wolf will depart and leave you your liberty. mi i " Irtf rtnftnn qIaud Alien utgia uvtv lu raise what is absolutely necessary for home consumption?diversify cropsraise some cotton?then smilingly pocket the money. Save your land? improve it?carry science in the Held along with common sense and economy?and a little time will develop the'fact that by the plough is the way of escape. Let the railroads then come, for then they will; for they are the offspring of agriculture, not * the parent. Our people cannot look to companies and the like for immediate salvation, but to themselves?their individual selves. Yes, begin at home in earnest, and there will be no need of the despairing, re signed logic of the hills blossoming in the far-off future; but they will blossom now, right now in our own time, and by the time the actors in the next generation come upon the stage they will find the full ripe fruit. w. k. A TRIP TO ALAJBAJZA. A Fairfield Man Attends the Baptist Convention?Notes Gathered on the TripOther Matters. Messrs. Editors: Having been appointed a delegate to represent the State in the Southern Baptist Convention, whiah held its meeting at Montgomery, Ah. I took advantage of the i^cr? T? A onH L-illprl two 1CUUOCU liiico ^J-v. ->? /; ....... ... birds with one stone, viz.: Attended the Convention, and paid a flying visit to my two married daughters who reside about forty miles beyond Mont-, goinery. At the appointed hour, the president, P. II. Mell, was in the Mmir. After the Convention was call ed to order and after devotional exercises, the different States were called and delegates enrolled. Each State is entitled to one delegate for every hundred dollars contributed to the missionaries. According to population South Carolina stands first in contributing. There were about GOO delegates present, and I have never seen a greater display of talent?a rv :c respectable and intelligent looking body of men?than was assembled in the First Baptist Church at Montgomery. A more harmonious meeting I have never witnessed. The Convention sermon was preached by the Rev. J. B. JHawthorn, pastor of the First Church in Atlanta. I had often heard of the oratorical powers of Mr. H., but had no idea I would be so agreeably disappointed as I was. He held about 1,800 persons spell-bound for at least one unci a quarter hours, and I was truly sorry when he closed. Could have listened to him another hour. Montgomery has made rapid strides since the war. There are many beautiful residences, and a more hospitable people it has never been my fortuae to meet. Every one is in a hurry, and a considerable amount of business car. ried on. The city is noted not only lor the hospitality of its people, but | for the beauty of its females. Your correspondent is not a very close observer generally, but could not help being struck, with the beauty of the females and the chivalry of the males. While there I had the pleasure of seeing the noted military companies, the Clues and Greys, who had just returned from a drill at Savannah, where they had each taken a prize. The Greys a prize of $2,000, I understood, and the Blues a prize of $l,o0u. They left for Vicksbunr to attend another prize drill the same day I left Montgomery. A lively set of young men I assure you. rPU>v ^ r\t IfAntrcAmnrv cm VP President Davis a grand reception, an account of which you have of course seen. Just about a month before going out the people of Alabama passed through the same trying ordeal that the citizens of our State have lately passed through, viz , the highest water wc have had since 1854. The Alabama Iliver was said to be higher than it was ever known to be. Houses and stock were seen floating down its turbid waters until it ceased to be noticed. Of course all the lowlands were flooded, railroad bridges and trestles carried away, but the people went to work with a vim, ana wnen l ich me kuiuj ers had planted over and some had worked out their crops; bridges and trestles restored and every kind oi business going on as if nothing had happened. The little town of Benton received its portion, the whole place, notwithstanding the high bluff, being under water, and skiffs might be seen floating through the streets. One house, we learred, was six leet under water. The citizens of Benton arc congratulating themselves that the town, in consequence of the thorough I ;+ lioc liorl n;ill bn healthv AC wuu UWUj the present summer. We trust they may not be disappointed, but are fear ful they will. The farmers have perfect control over labor. Hands are at work just as the sun is seen rising in the East, and they continue to work long enough to reach the house and feed their stock by good dark. The frecdmen say they feed them well, pay them well and work them well, and the consequence is, at the end of the year they have something they can call their own, anil of course are well satisfied. '-The crops on the railroad were noi looking well?like here, thevare backward. I was glad to see that the farmers had changed their programme and had planted more, grain and less cotton I was informed when in Se'.ma thai there was any amount of the "where with" in the Selma Bank, but the) could not get the people to borrow it How different from our State. The banks here .claim not to have am funds, and the people exceedingly anx ious to get a few dollars with which to work their crops. More anon. x. y. z. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
