More agriculture and less politics characterized the meeting. This is the way to make the movement succeed. ?We heard one of our prominent farmers remark a few days ago that he W kad used sixty, tons of fertilizer this year, and only regrets that he had not used a hundred, lie is a firm believer in the use of commercial manures. ?The Citadel Academy and the South Carolina College both had a ^ gratifying number of students on nnpnintr (lav.

This horse was a valuaj ble racer and its joss will be seriously ! felt. ?It is seldom that our streets get as ; dusty as at present.

Our Thanks.?The Charlotte Fair Association will accept our thanks for : a complimentary ticket. The fair is : extensively advertised around town, and doubtless many of our citizens | will attend. | Removal.?Don't forget that Q. D. Williford & Co., have moved their large stock of Dry Goods, etc., to the j store-room formerly occupied by j t Center & Clarke, in the Ladd building-. I j Give them a call if you want bargain?. * 1 Work of the Gin.?Mr. James ; Turner, Sr., met with a painful ac~ cident on Wednesday.

Fixe Corn*.?Mr. T. W.. Ruff has a j ! sample of corn on his place which beats ' j all previous records. The ear of corn ; j which he showed had twenty-six rows \ i nn thn f!oh. Twentv-four rows Is con- j ! sidered a larsre average. Mr. Ruff ! has four acres from which he gathered ! 144 bushels. Truly there "is life in j the old land yet." ! Important Notice.?We call special | attention to the ordinanc of the Town i Council published in another column, in regard to offering fresh meat for sale outside of the market, and within the corporate limits. It can only be sold with a license from the Clerk of the Council, and then only between (he hours of eleven and four o'cJeck. A word lo the wise is sufficient. Petty Thefts.?The thieves were on the war-path on Saturday last, but unfortunately for them they were caught. Messrs. Gerig & Seigler had a knife stolen while showing some to parties, but the thief was caught be fore he left the store and the knite recovered. Another one concluded to take a lady's jersey from the store of Messrs. Center & Clarke, but she too was caught and the article recovered. We suspect there were other thefts of which we have not heard. Cotton Crop Report.?The report of the National Department of Agriculture for the month of September shows that the season is a little late, which makes the risk of early frost greater than usual. In most of the Southern States there has been a slight vpr?lift inn as comoared with the report of the previous month. The average for South Carolina is placed at 74, and the average condition of the entire crop as compared with last year is 79.3 for this seasou, 7S for same time last year, 80.1 as compared with the report of August. Campaign Opened. ?The campaign of 1886 opened at Spartauburg on the 9th inst. All of the candidates for State offices were present except Messrs. Bamberg and Stoney, who were unavoidably detained- Congressman Perry was also present and addressed the meeting on the leading topics of the day. There will only be a meeting at one point in each Congressional district, unless a special request is made by some other place. There being no opposition to the Democratic nominees but little interest will be taken in the campaign by the people generally. Tkade Issue.?In a future issue, in a week at least, we propose to issue a | paper setting forth the advantages of I Winnsboro from the standpoint of trade. Merchants will therefore be prepared to give our representative all needed | information in this line. We will call upon every merchant in town, and request them to be prepared to give us information concerning their business in the past, and prospect for the future, the time they have been in business, and other information that will make our report interesting and profitable to the trade of the town. The Chester Fair.?We call special j attention to the Association Counties j Fair, which will take place in Chester j October 26 and continue four days. : Every effort will be mode to make the ! fair of 1S86 a grand success. Among the attractions on Wednesday and Thursday will be addresses by Uapt. "R. "R. Tillrnnn and Col. A. Coward on | the needs of farmers; and on Friday j sports and races will be the chief at- j tractions. A fine band will furnish i music for the occasion.

Columbia's Street 11ailv,-ay.? i From a leading1 exchange we notice , that the first car was ran over the Columbia Street Railway on Saturday last. It attracted the attention of ! every one, and as it made the trial j trip was followed by a host of little boys who seemed to think it a "thing i of beauty and a joy forever". Every | tiling1 was loitnu 1!i m>i-C!a-s urner, j and a regular schedule will be put in | operation this week. It is estimated | that cars will pass over Hie line and its | branches every seven minute.?.

Success of Mount Ziox. ?Owing to the large number students now attendance Mount Zion Institute., he trtis lees iounu it in.*uesswi v iu ung igu another teacher. At a meeting en Friday teliy elected Mr. PaulM. Brice assistant tcackcr in the school. "We are glad to chronicle the sncccss of Mount Zion. If Winnsboro had no other recommendation, Mount Zion is sufficient to make her stands among the foremost in the State. Some time before the war a prominent citizen speaking of the intelligence, refinement and morality of Winnsboro, as compared with a neighboring town, said to a gentleman of this place, "It is all owing to Your school on the hill." The school on the j hill continues to .-hed its litrlit to the neighboring-districts, and will forever stand as a monument to the enterprise of its people. Mr. Brice needs 110 recommendation from us. As assistant teacher in the Columbia Graded School, and as principal of the New Hope Graded School, ho discharged his duties faithfully and with ability, and he will bring with him to his new position the profits of his experience. xzmacx i m [advertisement.] A CARD FROM COL. JSO. B. DAVIS. Messrs. Editors: Mr. Rutl&wl, in his card in your issue of the 2nd inst., adverts to the settlement by several gentlemen of the controversy between himself and Senator Woodward. All this was as public as he represents it. He then goes on, and with an adroit ness cunspiuuuu* iui iu> iu5^iaui&s? rather than its ingenuousness, ignores the fact that there is an issue of veracity between them, and communicates the neics that the settlement was and is satisfactory to both parties, and implies, must necessarily be to the public. I am much mistaken relative to the character and temper of the good people of Fairfield if they do not stamp this action of their representative men with the impress of their sternest condemnation. Jxo. B. Davis. TH.l T BIG YIELD OF CORX. "There's Life in the Oltl Land Yet". Jlessrs. Editors: Much controversy has been had and many bets made about the probable yield of my field of corn between my house and the llockton & Rock City Railroad, and many requests have been made to have an acre measured. For the benefit of all concerned, and to encourage the planting of more corn, I give the following startling result: An acre, that is, a strip parallel with the road half an acre deep and two acres long, gives the following: Three wagon loads of 27 baskets to the load. The basket holds *15 quarts. Hence we have three loads with 27 baskets, and 25. quarts to the basket, or 2,025 quarts, or G3 bushels and 9 quarts to the acre. This on upland which was in cultivation when Cornwallis passed here 105 years asro. The above will be substantiated by affidavits oeiore an omcer n requested. If you will kindly furnish a committee, with Winslow's Soothing Syrup, to sit up with my friend, that enterprising gentleman, Mr. Dotv, I will have nothing more to say at present, but await the development of his oats crop, when I propose to come to the front again.

Frankfonl has a woman who puts Dr. Mary Walker completely in the shade, writes a Philadelphia correspondent. Not satisfied with bloomers, she has adopted the male costume in its entirety, from the regulation trousers to the most of snnihrrvrns. Shn is thft I wife of T. R. J. Elliott. Mrs. Elliott leaned against the door-post yesterday afternoon and enviously contemplated the red brick sidewalk ativo? the way. She wore an old pair of gray trousers and a woollen check blouse, buttoned to the chin. Her sleevcr were rolled up to the elbow, displaying a rather nicelyturned, but sinewy, forearm. A white apron gave an impression of femininity straggling to overcome the effect of the masculine trousers. She looked between 35 and 40 years old, and her jet-black hair was cut short like a man's. Her ligure was tall and slight, but not thin, and from a pleasant,"intellectual face siione a pair ot luminous macK eyes, deeply set in the head, over high, prominent cheek bones. "No, I am not Mr. Elliott, but his wife," she said, with a smile that revealed a row of line white teeth, and then led the way into the house. "I lirst put on the trousers twelve rears ago.'' continued Mrs. Elliott "I I ad no desire to institute a dress reform i.mong women, nor nave I induced others to imitate me. I wear men's ciotnes oecause tney arc cue mosi comfortable. It was a long time before I ventured into the street in mule attire, but after becoming accustomed to it in the house I overcame my nervousness. O, yes, I was laughed at and hooted.but that did not discourage me. I have been arrested nine or ten times, but they always allowed me to go. I feel that I have a perfect right to dress this way. It is not a ridiculous costume like Dr. Mary Walker's, and nobody could tell that I was a woman if they did not scrutinize my face. *7U/iv/i ofi'r? ctvonf onr^ iicivu m CI;A> owivv/u <*u.v*, made bets on my sex. Was I ever asked to decide a wager? Often. Why, I have had men run after me in the street and after confessing to having made a bet the/ would request me to tell them whether I was a man or woman. No, my husband does not object to my dressing this way. Wc came from New York. My husband is a southerner, and I was born in Bangor, Me. We lived i-i Boston fifteen years, where during a Dart of that time wc published the Vol a no, a labor paper. My husband was editor and I ran the business department. We took the Volcano to New York, but, although it was bright and sensational, we had to suspend. The Volcano lived seven years, and might be in existence yet had my husband been endowed with some of my energy. "Then we went into the colcgno business in a small wav, and afterward came to Frankford. \Yc buy the essential oils and extracts and make our own cologne, while my husband sells it by the bottle. We misrht have <roi aion<? better had I been able to gi\'(T more attention to business; but then I have six little children, and they need a great deal of care."' A little boy in frocks toddled in, followed by a girl of live years. Both were nice, clean-looking children, and neatly dressed. "I")r> vaii infonil tn mnkf! this little one wear trousers?" Mrs. Elliott was asked. "Not unless she wants to," was the reply. "She lisps that she's going to 'wear dosses when I dot's big, and not pants, like mamma,' and she may have her own way, although the time may come when she will realize that trousers are more comfortable than dresses. Women are foolish for dressing the way they do." Hugh MeCulloeh, ex-secretary of the United States treasury, has deeded to the city of Fort Wayne, Ind., his title to the old Broadway cemetery of ten acres, from which most of the dead bodies liivn lw>rt rfinmrrwl find wliioli hns hf? come of great value. The condition of the deed, which the city council has by ordinance accepted, is that the property shall be kept improved and be known as McCulloch Park. Here, My Friend.
