?Cotton through the country is
opening very rapidly, and we may expect
to see a new bale in this market
in very short time.
?A residence is being fitted up for
Prof. With crow in town until the
dwelling near the College is com- J

?\\'o learned from a confidential
source a few days ago that the Bachelors'
Protective Union would lose one
of its most influential members at an
early date.
?The work of leveling the College
green and opening the new street has
commenced. When completed it will
be quite an improvement to that side
of the town.
?V>"e call especial attention to the
advertisement of Q. D. Williford &
Co. Their Quaker City Shirt is a

?The watermelon crop is said to
have been the smallest in this county
this season that we have had for ten or
twelve years. There have been very
few good ones on the market.
?Portions of the county were visited
with heavy rains on Saturday night.
On Sunday afternoon we had a hard
rain at this place. These rains will
brighten the crop prospects wonder

?Rev. J. S. Mofiatt formerly of
Ohio, lias beer, called to the pastorate i
r of the Associate Reformed church at i
Chester. Mr. Moffatt has been preach- ;
ing at Charlotte, X. C., for several ;
months.
? SYc learn that there are only two
candidates for the Legislature in Lancaster
county up to date. One of these
we are glad to notice is a brother 1
<:quil! driver." We wish him success i
in the race. j
r?'The next term of the Court of
General Sessions for this county promises
to be a pretty lengthy one. Our
jail is rapidly filling up, and the pros- f
pects are that the number will still be
increased.
?The first bale of cotton has been '
received in Columbia. It brought S
9-1G. This is a very bad beginning in
price, but in common with everybody '
ebe we hop? it will pick up before the
season closes.
?The colored base ball club of
k Chester played here on Friday. 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. R, Doty & Co., have
recently painted their store building
hfe which adds much to its appearance.
B Other merchants of our town might
profit by their example and do like0
wise. There is nothing like having a
place which seems inviting, even
w though it be from the outside.
F ?The catalogue of Mount Zion
' Institute is out. It contains about
loO names. "We find among them nine
Gladdens, nine Lnmpkins and eleven (
McMasters. It is not quite as solid
as the school in the upper portion of
the county which out of twenty-eight
scholars contained twenty-five Brices.
?"We learn from a gentleman from
the "dark corner" that the recent rains
mnrfi inmroved the croDS in that
section. Cotton, though small, is well
r fruited and shedding but very little.
"We hope the yield will tarn out much
larger ail over the couuty than was at
first expected. Another good rain at
this time would help things considerably.

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

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.

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.

THE COVSTY CAJIPAIGX.
The Greenbrier, Mossy Dale and
Iloreb clubs held their meeting at Dr.
Smith's spring on Tuesday. There
was an immense crowd present. 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?

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.

Henry Campbell Davis.
Col. Henry C. 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.

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*.
