Two games were played one of which Winnsboro won. xne otner was characterized by too much whiskey and rowdyism which finally broke up the game. ?Messrs. \V.

T ?Those who went down from this place to Columbia in the hope ofseeing some good ball playing last week, returned on Tuesday considerably disappointed and chagrined. It seems that the clubs which were expected did not put in an appearance, and consequent^ * ly there were no games. The fever must be cooling off in the State since the big row in the Southern League. IIeueisa Chaxce, Boys.?We notice that there is a dearth of young men at Saratoga. The cry among the girls is anvtliing so it is a man and he can I C fc? > dance. Here is a chance for some of our dancing young inen to go up and harness in an heiress. No qualification? necessary except dancing. Chop Report.?We have received a crop report from Price, Reed & Co., of Norfolk, Va? in which the probable average for this year in South Carolina, as compared with last year, is put at 74.50. This estimate is for August, but as different portions of the State, the estimates may be placed somewhat higher. A New Cisterx.?The bricks are being placed on the ground for building a new cistern fertile use of the fire department just in front of the old Aiken Hotel. Our people may look out for another raise in the per cent, for insurance. It seems that the better our town is protected from fire the more insurance we have to pay. PiiOTOGRArn Gallery.?Mr. J. II. Winburn, the photographer now at this place, is highly recommended by the best photographers of Atlanta, Ga., and by his customers generally. The specimens at his gallery are certainly very fine. This is a rare chance for real first class work at Wiunsboro, and all who would like to have pictures taken should avail themselves of the opportunity. Tiik Ice Cream Festivar.?The festival at the residence of Mr. J. J. Xeil 011 Thursday night was a decided success. There was a large number of people present, both old and voting, and everybody enjoyed the entertainment immensely. The ladies having the festival in charge failed in their calculations and the cream gave out early. The sum realized was about $40. Postal Delivery.?On October 2, 18S6, the postal delivery system will be extended to all postofflces in the country. There will be free delivery to all places within one mile of the postoffice. This is according. to a recent Act of Congress. Formerly only cities of a certain number of inhabitants had the privilege of this Act. There were only two places in South Carolina to which the law appliedCharleston and Columbia. Good Streets.?Hre venture to say that no town in South Carolina ofequal population can show as much enterprise as Winnsboro. Our streets have had a thorough working under the superv ision of Mr. E. N. McMaster, and now present a most excellent appearance. The work on them required much time and money, but it has been well spent. Xot only have the principal streets been looked at, but the humble back street bobs up serenely as a first class avenue. The present Council deserve much praise for their enterprise in this matter. T WTTTV ? T* T.Ocf V r-Xii\.UC?-> X.Vlv IT mob ? xu~ ter we received several packages of seed from the National Agricultural Department for distribution. "We gave Mr. Samuel L. McWatters a package of wheat labeled "Winter Glaze". Mr. McWatters put himself to much trouble in fertilizing, harrowing, etc., with the expectation of getting a fine variety of wheat. When this wheat matured he found five varieties, among them the common variety plantod in this country. The Department should be more careful in their distribution and not cause farmers to go to so much expense without any adequate return. Earthquake.?Early on Saturday moraing a distant shock of earthquake was experienced by some residents of this place. The shock was ?ot suffi cient to arouse tne wnoie town ana cause them to rush around in terror, but to those who felt the shock it was unmistakable. Mr. Jno. J. Neil felt it and at first was inclined to believe some burglar was prowling around his house, but as none could be found he arrived at the correct conclusion. As it was, very few people experienced it, still the fact remains we had a regulation shock. Charleston felt the shock about the same time. Notice to Farmers.?In pursuance of an invitation extended and accepted by Capt. B. R. Tillman, of Edgefield, he will address the people of Fairfield at "Winnsboro, on next Monday, the 6th September. Our people should be glad of the opportunity to hear from one who has given the agricultural condition of our State considerable study and thought. "While the meeting is directly for the benefit of the agriculturalists of our county, the public are cordially invited to attend. Thomas 5. Brice, Chairman. Personal.?The Rev. Dr. Jordan, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, returned on Thursday from his summer vacation. Mr. U. G. Desportes left on Thursday tor a short business trip to Texas. Mr. Q. D.

Those people have the reputation of doing things up in first-class style, therefore they expected a crowd. They had speeches innumerable by the candidates, and if there was one thing that they had just a little more than another it was something to eat. Without a doubt it far exceeded anything of the kind we have ever attended at any campaign meeting. The candidates were at Monticello on Thursday. Everything passed off" quietly. There was a very good number present, but there was no regntai? Thf> _Tnr>kiiv?villprliih mpf with thein. Several gentlemen from Winnsboro went out. The campaign closed hereon Friday. Ali the candidates were present and made speeches. A barcecne was given to the candidates and visitors which seemed to be enjoyed by all. There has been little excitement in the whole business and everybody is glad it is over. The candidates will not rest easy, however, until the returns come in Monday night. The Primary Election.

Davis died of heart j disease on the 27th inst., at Itidgeway, almost immediately after leaving the train on his return from an excursion to Asheville, Xorth Carolina, and the vicinity. He had long been troubled with his heart, but for the past three years naa ocen m unasuany roDust health. About three weeks ago, while visiting his son in Columbia, he had a slight premonitory attack, but paid little attention to it. While in Waynesville he had an attack of angina pectoris, it is supposed, and on the Tuesday following he had two more attacks ?oue on the train and one at his son's in Columbia. He seemed to have recovered, and on Friday returned home. He conversed pleasantly with friends on the train,-up to within a few hundred yards of reaching Ridgewav. When the train stopped his eyes were closed, and it was discovered that he had passed away almost in an instant without a struggle, ivs ne naaior some years been obeying the injunction precribed to sufferers from affection of the heart to "lead a quiet and temperate life, avoiding all extremes of physical exertion or mental emotion", his sudden death is one of those inscrutable dispensations of Providence to which we must all bow with unquestioning submission. Col. Davis was closely identified with the history of our county and State. He was the youngest child of Dr. James Davis, and was boru in Columbia on the 6th August, 1823. He graduated in the South Carolina College in 1844, and for three years thereafter was College librarian. Admitted to the bar, he never practiced regularly; but, in 1868, marrying Miss Belle Means, daughter of the Rev. Robt. Means, he removed to Ridgeway in this county and engaged in farming. He took much interest in the development of this pursuit, was for several years president of the Fairfield Agricultural Society, and shared, we believe, with Governor Hammond the honor of making in 1857 the first sorghum syrup in the State?receiving two first prizes for sorghum products at the State fair in 1858. It will be remembered that this syrup was a mainstay of the Southern Confederacy. "While in Columbia he was a lieutenant in the Richland Volunteer Rifles, and, later on, commanded the Cedar Creek Rifles in this District, which company he raised to great efficiency. In 1S5S, public opinion in the State was divided on the question of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and it was made on tccno ir? -nnlifics riflnfain T)av?S opposed the road, and ran for the Legislature. lie headed the ticket by a handsome plurality, even against such strong competitors as Boylston, McCants and llutland. Declining to run for another term, he was elected to the State Convention after an exciting but friendly political contest, the delegation being ex-Governor Means, tbe Hon. Wm. S. Lyles, Capt. H. C. Davis and Gen. John Buchanan. TKa Pav?nf AAnfainArl morktr o jLiig v_/vii > viitivu wii Abiugu juuuiiv auitmen, including Chancellors and Doctors of Divinity. Later on Captain Davis entered the 12th South Carolina Volunteers, in command of Company C. He participated in active service and was wound ed at Sharpsburg. He became Major, and then Lieutenant-Colonel. During one of Stonewall Jackson's forced marches, which Col. Davis took on foot, he was seized with an attack of heart disease, similar to that which ha? just ended his life, and carnc near to death. lie was compelled to leave active scrvicc, and served awhile as enrolling officer. In 1SC4 he was again elected to the Legislature, with Messrs. Boylston i ~ -ir.. r> 1 ana jicuams?.ur. uu wmuh uno uuic heading- the ticket. Col. Davis was made chairman of the military committee; and cne of his proudest thoughts was that, as chairman, he had succeeded, with the aid of others, in securing an appropriation of one million dollars for the Confederate widows j and orphans. On that occasion Dr. James II. Carlisle made a speech which brought tears to the eyes of almost every member of the House. When Sherman was approaching Columbia sod the militia were called out, Col. Davis took command of the Fairfield contingent. The militia were disbanded at Lancaster, and returned to see ruined homesteads and starving families. Since the war Col. Davis had held no public position except, recently, j that of postmaster at Ridgeway; but he took a lively interest in public affairs, and was ever on the side of conservatism and good government. For several years he farmed, but more recently was engaged in teaching. He dearly loved children, and it was his delight to hear them prattle around him, and he quickly won the confidence and affection of his scholars. He was a kind and indulgent father, whose every thought was for his children. The last public appearance of Col. Davis was as orator on Memorial Day. Ilere in the Court Housa yard he delivered a touching address to mourning wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. Little was it thought that he would De one 01 me nrst co juni ms comrades "over the river". Col. Davis was affable and graceful in manner, frank and genial in character, a pleasing conversationalist, a ready speaker, with a soul full of honor and a head and hand open to all. His day and his generation have passed, and he, another landmark, has been taken away. But his friends and acquaintances will miss him, and his family vrill mourn for the loving touch of a vanished hand and the gentle accents of a voice that forever is still. lie was buried on Saturday in the churchyard of St. Stephen's at Ridgeway, by the side of his wife and his son Edward Palmer. Peace to his ashes. COLORED TENAXT8. Messrs. Editors: I beg space for the loliowmg, in reierence 10 an wuuui jl may concern. It has been said by one of the prominent doctors of this county that the negro race is running out, j as they would die despite all the best medical attention which may be given them. I do not pretend to say that the doctor can entirely save their lives, but I will say that death among this race would not be so frequent if they had better houses to live in. It is only by chance that a person can find a tolanoKlo rr/inr? ImilCO hv a col ored family. As to mine, in order to make it comfortable, I was obliged to defray one-half of the expenses, while my employer was only willing to deTray the other half; and to make it more comfortable I intend to do more than I have done. I consider that rev employer has done well compared to the average Fairfield landlord. I think the employer should be more foeling than to suffer his tenants to live in such b id houses. Robert T. Toatly. ITEMS FJIOM FEASTEEVILLE. Messrs. Editors: As this is my debut in print,I hope you will give space in your columns for my letter. Crops are looking better than most people thought, the cotton crops that were worked out soon after the heavy rains in June, promises to be as good as we have had for several years. The corn crop is almost a complete failure, it will not average more than twentyfive per cent, of a full crop compared with that of last year. The good people of Feasterville had a nice picnic on Friday the 20th inst., which was attended by a great many from some distance. "We return thanks to the members of Crosbyville Cornet Band for the exquisite music,. which served to render the occasion more pleasant. I do not believe there was a single candidate present, although pol- j itics was the topic of conversation to some extent, and I believe they have named the professional men "Dennis", especially the lawyers. I am sorry that one class of citizens seem to be arrayed against the other, for it is utterly impossible to exclude any one class of men representation in the Legislature, or in whatever capacity they may offer to serve; to do so would be unconstitutional, especially when they constitute the most intelligent class of people we have. I believe in supporting a lawyer when we ^ ?^ Vior- > y-t f A-nnof A f IIIILi U1JU Liiat xiao vju<^ ui uiw county and State at heart; for we never know what a man is unless he is supported by the people, and give him a chance to show what he can do. I will say lor instance, if the people of Edgefield county had never supported Mr. Butler just simply because he was a lawyer, we would not have had the able statesman that we so proudly boast of, and who is so well qualified to serve in that position. I will close as I fear that I have written more about politics than will interest my readers from a young voter. ' r. k. j. And End to Bone Scraping. Edward Sliephard, of Ilanisburg, 111., says: "Having received so much benefit frmn F.lpr-frip. Ritters. I feel it mv dutv* to let suffering humanity know it. llave had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to" have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used instead,' three bottles of Electic Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and mj leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at twenty-five cents per box by McMaster, Brice & Ketchin. * ITEMS I ROM Ll'LES'S FORD. Messrs. Editors: Having just returned from a trip to Newberry on a visit to my afflicted nephew, allow me to note a few items as to crop prospects. I left Major T. W. Woodward's on the 28th ult. for Mr. Stephen Gibson's, and saw no average corn after leaving the Major's corn-field, which was good, but in want of rain. I saw but little cotton that would average over fifty per cent, until I reached friend Gibson's. His I thought a full average; but not an acre of corn but was drowned brthe high summer freshets. I saw an onlv neld or corn approximating an average on the west side of Little River, en route to Dr. J. M. Glenn's, where I saw fine cotton, as also at Mr. David Glenn's and Dr. Jno. Wallace's. I saw no more average cotton or even a half crop until I passed, afterward, Newberry, where in the vicinity of Jalapa and Bush River Church I noticed some full crops of cotton and corn on red land. I need not say I was surprised at the late report of the State Department of Agriculture, giving the condition of the cotton crop of South Caaolina-average G7. But to put the corn crop of Middle Carolina at 74, and average the same, I was surprised. I have conversed with many gentlemen from various parts of the State on the subject, and not one has placed the corn crop above 25, and many at 10; and cotton at 50. If the present crop of cotton exceeds 5,000,000 bales in the Unstcd States I will never guess at the cotton crop again. Rain is wanted in this vicinity, and the erops are poor. I am awaiting further material for the completion of my "Reminiscences of Fairfield", and expect to visit Winnsboro during September Courl, where I hope to meet many friends of my work; besides, I may be able to canvass r portion of our county afterwards in its interest and complete it as soon as possible. w. e. P. S. I saw several wagon loads of cotton on the streets of Newberry on Friday last. This does not denote hard times, especially tor tnosc who have it for sale. I was told in Newberry that my article in your Jnne issue was copied in the newspapers of Newberry, and several others, on the origin of cheat or chess in wheat and oats, and regarded as orthodox or correct by the old practical farmers. There was a large attendance on the 19th to hear the address of Farmer Tillman and county candidates. I noticed but little crab grass on stubble lands, the rag and ho^ weed have taken its place. It is said the former cut when tender makes good forage. Sow plenty of turnipseed for winter use, for stock and the table, w. e. Good Results in Every Case. D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on his lungs: had tried many remedies without benefit. Being induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, did so and was entirely cured by use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used it in his family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This is the experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by this Wonderful Discovers*.
