They left on the south-bound

?Dr. S. W. 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.

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"

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.

A BOLD ASSERTION.
Messrs. 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?

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.

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.
