Bookhart, of Blythewood, has been elected Superintendent of the City Graded School, of Spartanburg, -which will open on the 27th September. Dr. Bookhart is an excellent inau for this place. lie has been engaged in the profession for some time at Blythewood, having at one time a superior female institute at that place. The schools of Spartanburg will surely succeed under his management. ?In view of the extremely low price at which cotton is selling this season, it \x-rmM hp ico'l fnr farmers tr> fakft ~ ^ every precaution for increasing the value of the staple. Several cotton factories at the North have instructed their agents to receive no cotton unless it is dry when weighed. So much being Knocked off in weights for dampness, it behooves every farmer to keep his cotton out of the weather. ?The successful contestants for the cadetship at the Citadel Academy were Messrs. Woodward Dixon, of "Woodward, and David Dwight, of Winnsboro. These young men made an average of 93 75-100 and 96 respectively. Both of these young men are worthy of this honor and will doubtless reflect much honor upon Fairfield^s record in that institution. Several candidates came within in a few points of the above average. The examination was very close but the successful yocmg men were most decidedly ahead. ?The majority of the public schools have opened in the county with an excellent attendance. Most of the ; school districts in this county do not ! depend wholly upon the public school l ft-.n/l A1J nf fhpm snnnlempnf tho regular school fund, so as to run the schools for nine months throughout the year. Fairfield always takes the lead in everything, especially in educational matters, and the general intelligence which pervades the county is the best evidence of the wisdom, generosity and public spirit of her citizens. Tiie Charleston* Sufferers.?A subscription list has been opened at the Winnsboro National Bank and at the store of Messrs. McMaster, Brice & Ivetchin for the Charleston sufferers. Death.?We regret to learn of the death of Air. J110. a. Simpson, wnicu occurred at his home in Ridgeway on Thursday last, after a painful illness of several weeks. He was about fortyone years of age at the time of bis death, and was well known throughout the county. His remains were interred in the Methodist church-yard in llidgeway on Friday evening with Masonic honors. lie leaves a wife and fonr children besides a host of friends to mourn his death. The New Platform.?The people in town were surprised to see a force of hands tearing up the platform of the passenger depot 011 Friday. Their object was soon understood. The company have decided to do away with the plank platform and instead have placed there a ground platform, so to speak. They made a foundation of rock, then placed sand upon tnis and finally gravel upon it. This makes an excellent place to board the train?better thau the platform. But wc have been wedded to the platform and it will take us seme time to get acquainted with the new order of things. The Mount Ziox Institute.? Our school, Mount Zion, is held in high esteem not only on account of its ancient worth, but on account of its present advantages over the average schools in the State. We now have + /->< tnrnnti'.fiVftllltW moil at I >V X^Lk\.y VI L ?Y UUIJ *A * W J V ?* '?? ? tending school here who are not accredited to Winnsboro. This shows the esteem in which it is held in the State.' A student of the South Carolina College remarked to us recently, that some of the studies in this school were equal to those used in the Junior class of the University. We do not aspire to attain to the high standard of the State College, but we do strive to make our Institute one of the best high schools in the State, a mark which we have already attained. A Cow Thief Captured.?Early on Tuesday morning Mr. T. D. Owings, accompanied by several colored men, came into town in search of a cow that had been missing from the premises of Amos Feaster, in the northwestern section of the county since Thursday night last. After making inquiries it was learned that a cow had been sold to Mr. Williford on Friday, and had been killed by Mr. Garrison for beef. * ? - rvv/vt-or? if cAauiiuuuuu ui wuu to be the one of the missing cow, and a warrant was at once taken out for one Charles Coleman, a negro man. He was arrested on Tuesday evening, and lodged in jail on Wednesday morning. Of course he protested his innocence, but the colored boy who assisted him in putting it in the pasture, recognized him as the mau who sold the cow. It was afterwards learned that the same negro passed the residence of Mr. Joseph Kennedy about daylight on Friday morning. All of the circumstances point lo his guilt, and the probabilities are that he will find employment in the peniten tiarv for some time to come. The Crop Outlook.?The farmers of oar county and State were quite gloomy some lime back over the prospects for a crop, and justly so, but the rains of the past month have done much to improve the cotton prospects. From what can be gathered from all sections of the county, the cotton crop will be as good if not better than it has been for two years. The only discouraging feature is the low price which the producer is compelled to accept for his crop. "With the price of our principle staple at eight cents per pound, our farmers cannot expect to clear much money. A diversfied industry seems to be our only hope, and the sooner our people realize it the better for them. More home-raised bread and meat is the pricipal thing needed. "When this is done, even though the price of cotton be low, it will be that much money clear, instead of at present, owing for these supplies before the crop is made, and nothing to pay the debt except a short cotton crop. Perhaps the organization of farmers' clubs in the county will do something " towards directing the minds of our farmers from the mighty "Iiing Uotton." The Opening Day.?Monday morning was the day appointed for opening the Xew Mount Zion, and as usual on such days the College grounds presented a lively appearanoe. The pupils had enjoyed a long vacation, and were apparently eager to again enter upon their studies with good resolutions and high hopes. There were one hundred and thirty-four pupils present at the first roll call, which is considered unusually large for the first day. Others will continue to come in for several weeks. In this connection we take occasion to say that our town is now prepared to offer unusual advantages to all persons desiring an education. It is not alone a school tor the town papiis, dui ior Jtrairnem coumy aim other portions of the State as well. Good board can be obtained in private families at very reasonable rates, and the school and our people generally will be only too glad to welcome any who desire to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the New Mount Zion. Students will be thor onghly prepared for any of the colleges of our State or other States, and those who do not contemplate attending any other institution will find that they can get a thorough training in all studies usually taught in a first-rate high school. Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine """ A/vr?/\ni'n Ki?n(re Viffirtro jhfi read JCVU v_/v^i V/I>E,XV i/i iJi^g v cr several interesting articles, which will l>e found worthy of careful pernsal. Mr. Powell's gos>ipy "Leaves from My Life" deals with Robert Browning and his wife in this number illustrated with two portraits of Mr. rad one of Mrs. Browning. The Rev. Edward A. Rand contributes an appreciative sketch of "Boston's Oldest Church"; and there is an elaborate article amply illustrated, on "The Late King of Bavaria." The paper on "English Ballads" is very interesting; "Great Salt Lake and Phenomena" nvo sketched bv nen and pencil; a biographical and critical sketch of Alexander Campbell Mackensie accompanies his portrait; Miss Fannie A. Matthews contributes a delightful essay on "Uncut Leaves"; and "Some Russian Authors," with its accompanying potraits, strikes a timely topic in the literary field. The young ara well looked after in "The Tapestry Room" by Mrs. Molesworth; "Molly and the Mandarirt," a Chinese Fairy Story; and other short pieces. ''Paulina" nears its conclusion, and the touching Irish story, "The Gems he "Wore," continues with increasing interest. There is an abundance of miscellany in the snape 01 snort articles and poems; and among the pictures and portraits, some beautiful reproductions of foreign paintings. Altogether this is a fine number of this favorite family magazine. A Trip to Texas. Some throe" weeks ago Mr. U. (J. Desportes, one of Winnsboro's most successful merchants, left for a !ri;> to j the Lone Star State, with a view (o locating in that Slate at some future day. lie returned a few days ago after a very pleasant trip. Knowing that our people would be glad lo hear something of the outlook in thai State, a reporter* of The News and IIekald called on Mr. Dc?portc? to learn what impression had been made upon him by his recent trip. Texas, lie said, has a bright future before^ her, notwithstanding the fact that in portions of northern and western Texas the people are considerably depressed in ' spirits on account of the long drouth, which has continued since the 14th of! April, and in some places there has 1 been no rain for fourteen months. 1 Where there had been no rain .since . the li'.h April, 'the fanners would | make a half a bale of cotton to the , acre, which shows the wonderful pro- ! ductiveness of the soil in and around I Dallas. The agriculturalists are complaining considerably of the hard times, but all ?ti ? other proiessious seem wen siuouvu and are making money. The bankers and capitalists find ready borrowers for their money at from twelve to fifteen per cent, and still there is plenty to loan. As a result of the recent drought, numbers of persons are leaving the stricken section, and arc selling off their cattle at a great sacrifice. Rivers and smaller streams arc all dried up and cattle in those sections are dying up. Land \thich twelve months ago sold for twenty-five ard thirty dollars per acre, can now be bought for three to five dollars per acre in the dry districts. Men who j have lived there all their lives say that there has never been such a drought in forty vears, and that in less than twelve months the land which is now being offered at such reduced rates will bring its usual price, and that the depression is simply temporary and caused by the dry weather. A ranche about sixteen miles from Cisco containing about two thousand acres is offered for one dollar per acre. The land on this place, under favorable seasons, would produce a bale of cotton to the acre. Merchants and business men generally seem to be making money readily. The only draw back which seems to present itself to Mr. Desportes, is that servants are very scarce and can hardly be employed for love or money, which throws the entire domestic duties upon the ladies. The country is fast being settled up and towns and railroads are being built as fast as possible. Mr. Desportes seems favorably impressed with the the country under the present unfavorable circumstances, and it is safe to say that he would be more so if he should see it in a prosperous year. He contemplates making another trip next spring, when he will be able to see the country just as a new crop is being put in tne ground and he thinks he will be even more favorably impressed. Ay AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. It has been rumored for some time that an effort would be made by the authorities to change the King's Mountain Military School into an Agricultural College. The rumor is confirmed by the folio wing paper sent by Col. Coward, the superintendent of the King's Mountain Military School. VTr> V>rmr?c fn lm hf>VP Oil Sfll^S-flav ill October, when he will discuss the propriety of such a step with the citizens of Fairfield: "We, the undersigned citizens of York, Chester, Lancaster and Fairfield counties, do hereby agree to become members of an Association having in view the establishment of an Agricultural College to be located at Yorkville, S. C., upou the grounds of the King's Mountain Military School, upon the following terms and conditions: 1. A capital stock of twenty thousand dollars is to be subscribed, and no subscriber shall be bound by his subscription unless said sum be made up on or before the first Monday in December, 1886. 2.

Editors: To a man who remarked that the poverty of the farmers of Fairfield was the result of the high ' * n * -1 1 I rales OI iniures., tuc caiuiuvuuv. charges of merchants and high taxes, a bystander replied that he did not think that these matters materially affected the situation. lie said it was his belief that if the farmers had been furnished with provisions at cost, with money without interest and with protection to life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without taxation., ever since the war, their conditio!; would be no better than at present. U there any truth in this startling assertion? Is there a farmer in the county who will believe it? Adam Smith. r*T>A*r TTf\T> 7?T? We are pained to-chronicle the death of Winnie Ashford, wife of Osborne Ashford, one of onr most respected colored citizens. She was, prior to emancipation, the property of Mrs. Sarah Milling, and never lost her rcspcct for the white people. She leaves a large family of mannerly, well-behaved children, who show to all who come in contact with them that their parents endeavored to discharge their duty in raising them, which is now so rare among the colored people that we are constrained to show our recogni lion ol it. reace 10 ner asnes. The crops in this immediate commu- i nity are suffering for rain, not having h;ul a half season in six weeks. There were two base ball games near the residence of Mr. James Lerninon on the 10th inst., between the Jackson's Creek and Union Clubs, which resulted in a victory for each. The third game will be played on the Union grounds, near Crawford's mill, on Friday afternoon, the 17th inst., at three o'clock. Very little is being done at present at the Palmetto Quarries. Mr. Crawford is doing a fine business with his fine flour mill. The many little stores in the community are doing a ?.ood business. The Iloreb Farmers' Club are quite alive to their duty, and considerable interest is being manifested in diversity of crops and other measures to improve their present embarrassed condition. We would be glad to have all who are interested in the good work to visit our meetings, which are held in DuBose's old store on the afternoon of the second Saturday in each month. Our next meeting promises to be of unusual interest, as essays are expected from two of our best farmers. Mr. ?. W. Mason is the peanut grower of this neighborhood, and a visit to his place will convince any one that there is as much profit derived from this crop as from any other, grown in this latitude. His most paying variety is the Tied Mexican. It grows on less laud and consequently more hills can be grown per acre. ?ney are as pronnc as any vau?y aim adhere with incredible tenacity to the vine, thereby making them easier to gather, and ripeu at a season of the year when there is very little to be done on the farm. The farmer who fails to see the necessity of getting out of the "old ruts" is certainly blind to his interest. "VVe must rotate our crops and have a greater variety of pursuits or the Sheriff of Fairfield will be the Jay Gould of the South. UPPER HOREB. ROCK CREEK CnURClI. Jfessrs. Editors: It was my purpose to write a short account of a recent visit to the Rock Creek church, but have been hindered. This has been a summer of the most unremitting ton j of my ministerial life. I have been i preaching almost incessantly since the ? first of August Rock Creek was my first nostorate. There has been a great change since I left. Dr. Jeff. Lyles was then a member; the Hon. "\Vm. H. Lyles, now of the Columbia bar, was an exceedingly active member. Sincc I left the late Col Provence has passed into eternity and his family have left. In the church membership other great changes have been made. Those that have gone, together with those that remain, made the Rock Creek congregation one of the most cultivated, interesting congregations in the county, not excepting the town. Oat of the male members that were then active in the church, I can now recall but six who were present during our recent meeting, viz.: Capt. Tlios. M. Lyles, Messrs. David James, Bunyan Counts, John Morris and my old friend "W. Edcrington and Dr. Owens. Although | Capt. Lylcs is considerably beyond his three score and ten, he still looks well and comparatively active. Out of all the old Iricnds I met, I rejoiced to see none more than his well-preserved, kind-hearted companion. The pastor, the Rev. R. R. Vaim, was the first minister I ever met iu Fairfield county. As a young man just from Furman University I spent a night at each, the late Arthur Glenn and his brother Dr. J. M. Glenn, near twenty-eight years ago. I here mci Mr. Vann, who was theu pastor of Little River and Rock Creek churches. I rejoiced to meet and labor with him again. I take greatpleasure in hearing of his success, both as teacher and minister. I shall long remember the kindness of tbe people in our recent meeting. Mr. Long-, whose initials I cannot now recall, as 1 write from home and without memoranda, was my host most of the time. Mr. Long and family are Presbyterians, but had I not been told I never won Id have found it out, as they were as good as the best of Baptists. Long will I remember their kindness. I was more impressed than ever with the fact that the chief use the Christian world has for the Baptists is to defend immersion as tbe only Scriptural mode of baptism, and if you will allow the remark, the only way to defend it is to hold close com-1 munion, as its practice alone would certainly fail. Mr. Tarlton Clarke and Miss Maggie Robinson were married at the residence of the bride?s mother by this scribe on the night of ihe Sth of this month. A few frionds were present and it was an exceedingly enjoyable , occasion. Rumor has it that I will get a good run of this work this fall and winter. If they all treat me like Mr. Clerk it will help out greatly hnvrl times. I would make my letter longer, bat my time is out, as I now go out to the pool to immerse some young persons at Santuc, in Union county, from which place 1 very hastily write. J. D. Mahon. HY3IKNEAX.

Mr. B. Frank Burpee is a married man, having a wife and one clitld.
