Mr. Ford was an honored and respected citizen of the comrnuuity and county, and was the father of Mr. Strother Ford, a well-knowu citizen of Ihe county. Mr. Ferd had lived to a ripe old age, being about eighty-five years old at his death. He was universally respected by all who knew him and his death will be felt by a numer- j ous host of friends. i IIymenhal.?On Wednesday afternoon last, at three o'clock, were married, Dr. J.

Farming to Profit.?The Columbia Register mentions that Mr. W. R. Doty, of Winnsboro, lias furnished the Department of Agriculture with the statement respecting the large yield of corn produced on his farm in the neighborhood of Winnsboro. The laud planted was 120 acres 01 iue urmuary upland common to this neighborhood. It had been sowed in oats, which was winter killed. Twenty bushels of cotton seed per acre was applied and the corn planted, and the result was 4,100 bushels, or an average of 34 1-6 bushels per acre. On a single acre, where 800 pounds of fertilizer had been added to the twenty bushels of cotton seed, 60 bushels of corn was fivunvvw. Fiiist-Class Photographs.?An excellent opportunity is now afforded to the people of Winnsboro to get firstclass photographs. TVc allude to the facilities offered by Mr. J. H. Winburn. Ati examination of his specimens shows them to be equal to the very best in finish, and in artistic re- i production of the features of the subject. Mr. Winbnrn is especially painstaking and accommdating, and we doubt not that all who patronize his gallery will be fully satisfied with his work.x In taking the pictures 01 children he is especially successful? perhaps the highest praise that can be awarded to a photographer. Mr. Winburn will remain in Winnsboro a few weeks longer, and all who want fine photographs should call at his gallery on the corner of Congress and Liberty streets. Railroad Notes.?The Charlotte Observer of Tuesday says: "It is said that the recent heavy purchases of Georgia Central Railroad stock tor New York account was in the interest of John H. Inman and associates, in behalf of the Richmond & Danville system. Within the year the Central has tapped the finest part of the cotton territory of the Richmond & Danville system in South Carolina at five different points. Still further encroachments threatening them, Mr. Iuman has determined upon an attempt to secure control of the Central at the meeting of the stockholders in January. It is believed here that the recent purchase on New York account aggregates nearly 18,000 shares. Gen. E. P. Al/iTOn/lAi. TTT f\ io f/% Ko Tin CVIPH for j .(T UU 10 w\/ w ^/uvuv\? *v> the presidency, is expected to be able by personal friendship to contest the remaining shares necessary to insure his election. This would give the Richmond & Danville control of the finest railroad property in the South, comprising 2,300. miles of track and steamship lines to New York and Philadelphia. The line contains twothirds of the cotton belt of Georgia and Alabama, arid is rapidly extending its tracks to the mining and manu-1 factnring fields now being developed ; in Alabama, Savannah is the natura outlet for this tralfic, but if Mr. Iuman seeures control he will undoubtedly turn it to Norfolk. "When these facts become public the Georgia interest in the Central will undoubtedly rally for a determined fight, and which ever side wins will do so by a small margin. Mrs. Hetty Green, of New York, holds 6,000 shares, which may prove the balance of nower." Great Excitement In Texas. Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris.

Some Account of a Few Leading Business Houses of Wlnnsboro, The oldest dry goods establishment of onr town is the well-known house of D. Lauderdale. The organization of which dates back to the 1st January, 1845, or forty-one years ago. The firm continued to do business without interruption until the year 1865, when the firm was burnt out by Sherman in his passage through /Mii> f/->iT7n Th;* /MvnrrpVJ in February. 1865. In May of the same year business was resumed under the old firm name at the old si and. By energetic efforts a good trade was built up, and constantly increased from year to year. In 1879 Mr. D. Lauderdale, the proprietor of the business, died. Without interruption the business has been I continued bv his two sons, Messrs. T. W. aud G. R. Lauderdale, under the old firm name of D. Lauderdale. They carry 111 stock a general line of dry goods, including notions, and have a millinery department under the personal supervision of Mrs. Lauderdale, widow of the late D. Lauderdale. Besides this, they carry a first-class ^ <ri?/\AAiMAO SlUUtv VI IJCttVY uuu. iau\sj givv.i,iiw. They do a general cash and credit business. Mr. T. W. Lauderdale spent several weeks in New York this season purchasing his fail and winter stock, and it will be foutid complete in every department. He informed us that the trade for the past year had been as good as could be expected, considering (ypn^ral striv?orencv of the v"v' 9' C times all over the country. The outlook for the future while not flattering, was encouraging, and that their trade was beginning to brighten since the cotton crop was beiug placed upon the market. The present short crop, will, of course, a fleet the trade of next year, but the firm believe in the future of Wji nsboro, and are cietermiued to sell their gocds at such prices as are within keeping with the hard times. The only other dry goods dealer of our town is J. O. Boa?. Mr. Boag commenced business in 18C8, and has bnilt up his trade until it is now one of the best in our town. He has continued to do business without interruption since that time, and with merited success. He carries in stock a first-class assortment of dry goods and notions, together with a fine line of millinery, under the personal snpervision of Mrs. Boag. In connection with this he keeps a firstclass stock of heavy and fancy groce ries. He does a general cash and credit business. His fall and winter stock has been selected with care, and is complete in every department His trade has been good during the past jear, and an improvement lias been noticeable daring the fall months. Mr. Boag is also the proprietor of Boag's Opera House, which is a neat and comfortable hall just in rear of his store house. It has only been open one season, but iu that time several good companies have given entertainments, which have been enjoyed by our people. The fact that he has invested money in this building is sufficient proof as to his opinion of the future of our town. A SCHOOL FOB COLORED PEOPLE. Messrs. Editors: We, the colored people of Winnsboro, desire to take some steps in regard to building a public school-house and organize a school society for the benefit or our children in town and in the suburbs.. "We, as a race of people, are willing, and ready to lend a helping haud to , such a grand work as this, but we, as a race living in the community, cannot agree to adopt the transactions which were done on "Wednesday night the 27th ult. We say this?we want all the denominations to feel interest and take an active part in this work. First let the three denominations elect from three to five of the best men and 1-1. *1 i il } ? lei cause nunc auu ivuu o. society and. elect officers. In and through those men the society ehall be organized and formed. And in view of this deliver us from all ignorant transactions and deliver us- into intelligent transactions. a friend. Winnsboro, November 1. ITEMS FROM DARK CORNER. vMessrs. Editors: Cotton has been opening very slowly; on sandy land, there is some complaint abont the late cotton not being .natured. There will not be more than two-thirds of a cotton crop made this year, compared with that of last year and the year before. The corn crop of this section will not average thirty per cent, of a tall crop. Some say it was so very light that it was necessary to tie a wagon-sheet over the wagon-body to keep it from l.N/s'?s/y WTV?C1 /I fiv\m fVlO f/\ I WUXl^ XiVlU IUV 4-IWV4. vv the house. I think they were exaggerating to some extent. There has been very little small grain sown in this section, for it is so very dry that it is almost impossible to plow. There was preaching at Cool Brauch church on the fourth Sunday, ami our worthy minister, the Rev. J. D. Mahon, had the pleasure of immersing nineteen persons. There has been quite a revival in the churches of this section. Let the good work continue hereafter, and let nothing happen to impede their progress in that profession. There were shocks of earthquake felt here on the 22nd nit., one at five o'clock, a. m., and one at three o'clock, p. m. The last was second in violence to those that occurred on the 31st August. It seems that the shocks are not so severe at unarieston as iney were some time since. Would to God that they would not get any nearer, but just stay at Charleston just so they do not damage the houses any, for ] do not think the damage is as great as it has been estimated to be.

A Conservative View of a Subject tfca Has Been Considerably Discusacd. Jfessrs. Editors: Much has beei said concerning the undue degree o influence enjoyed by lawyers in pnbli< affairs in South Carolina. The fac that the primaries are over, and tha the election is near at hand, has no served to stop the discussion?at least has not stopped statements on one sidi of the question. Hence a few uordi may not now be out of place. It may be surmised, if lawyers di govern the State and enjoy most of th< offices of honor, profit and trust, being in the minority too, that such a stat< of aflairs must result from some undut advantage taken by them as a class Xothinj? can be farther from the trutl than this supposition. This conditio! of affairs is apparently anomalous and presents to the superficial oh server a political paradox, very easy, however, of explanation. In republics of political power ori<f inatesfrom the people, but from stress of circumstances this power is alienat: ed or transferred for stated periods oi time to representativeschos en by tht people from their own number. At the expiration of the stated periods the power invariably reverts to the peopla. Xow, agricnlturi?ts, forming as they do, a large majority of the population, it would seem to au impartial observer, that they alone should be held responsible for any abnormai condition or maladministration of the government, especially, when it is remembered that they artin ipso factc the motive power, and, so to speak, the great driving-wheel that carries on the whole governmental machinery. But it may be asked, how does the legal profession, forming so small a frar.fmn of the whole DODlllatiou, ac quire such a preponderance of power in the government? This may result from different causes, all of which combined are abundantly competent to produce the alleged effect. First, as a class they may be better educated th. 11 the other; secondly, from the study of their profession they must necessarily become better acquainted with the laws of the country; thirdly, they are better posted as regards parliamentary forms and usages; and last but not least, they derive an incidental advantage from their profession by ti continued practice of forensic oratory, which enables them to speak with ease aud confidence in public and thus control the masses. I submit that this ! advantage differs from the arts of the ! demagogue, and that any other proj fession under the same circumstances would avail themselves of a similar "? ' ~~? JJ advantage. Tne advantage reiorreu to is not peculiar lo the legaJ profession alone but attaches as well to the clerical. But as the latter operate upon a higher moral plane, and have in view higher objects than mere worldly fame and distinction, they are seldom brought in competition with the other class. Sometimes, however, we see an eminent divine, distinguished for his learning and eloquence, succumb to the tempations of worldly fame and emolument, fall from his high estate, and, as honest John Bunvan expresses it, carry the world in j one hand and his religion in the other. Io estimating the advantages which 1 ~ * -U - I tfce legal protession uas over iue uuici classes, it is important to remember that the government is divided into three grand departments?the executive, the legislative and the judicial? which last must, from the nature of the case, be entrusted to lawyers of experience and ability. It must be difficult to define exactly the proper legal functions of the judiciary, or to locate the point where interpretation ends and actual legislation begins; but yet we may presume that if legislative acts were expressed in more definite and unequivocal language, tne evu mentioned by your correspondent would be obviated, and there wouid be less need of supplementary legislation on the part of the judges. It may be inferred from the teachings of history that this class of men (the legal profession), through their distinguished representatives, have ever exerted an important and controlling influence in the governments ! of civilized nations, and especially in ! republics, whenever such nations were j at peace, and the civil power predomij nated over the military. In justice to i them, moreover, it mav be added that their great power has been exerted in many cases to the advantage of all clashes. In proof of this I will adduce two examples, one from ancient and the other from modern history. During the consular government of llome the commonwealth was threatened with destruction by a conspiracy of vast proportions, headed by Cataliue, a senator, but a man of most depraved and desperate character. He had many accomplices within the city; some of th?m of high families; Cicero and Antonius had been elected to the consulship, the highest office within ti n nonnlo and thp fhrmPT LUC gin Ui l,Ub uii? immediately undertook to foil the designs of the conspirators. Through his emissaries and some intercepted letters he became fully acquainted with all their plans, and in view of the great aud imminent danger he convened the Senate at daylight. He laid before this body the programme of the conspirators, which was to set fire to the city in a hundred different points at the same moment on a particular 1 night and to rob and murder the in; hablitants. The Senate invested the consols with dictatorial powers, and in a subsequent meeting of that body Cicero told Cataline that they were acqaainted with his designs and commanded him to leave the city, which he did with a company of three hundred well armed men. An army ol twenty thousand men under Manlius, friendly to the conspirators, awaited his approach not far from the city. 1 ? * J DC conspiraturs wiujiu iuo nausj including the ringleaders, were captared and imprisoned, and, by order of the Senate, execnted, Cicero sen! his colleague to contend with Manlius, who was defeated and Cataline slain, and thus order and quiet were agair restored to the city. When the people learned the magniiude of the dange] they had escaped, they hailed Cicero: the orator aed lawyer, as the second founder of their city, the saviour anc father of his country. The next example is from the his tory of our own State, and it is stil remembered by some ol our oldes citizens. South Carolina, being goaded to desperation by the inquisitor legislation of the Federal Congress ii 1832 in regard to a protective tariff called a convention of her people, am in this convention the ordinance o > nullification was passed. By this ac the State solemnly declared that thi collection of a protective tariff withii her territory shonld cease at a certaii date. This would bring the State int< immediate collision with the federa authorities, and she accordingly com , menced setting her house in order "not to die but to live." Jackson' ships of war were hovering near ou ' "city by the sea," and the danger of i i civil war with its attendant horror ; cast its baleful shadows over our land ' In this crisis Henry Clay, a distiu 1 gaished Senator and lawyer (if I mis ' lake not), came to the rescue. He ic trod need and engineered through th X Federal Congress a bill, which provided for a gradual reduction of the tariff to a revenue standard. This was accepted by our delegation, and we a again enjoyed the inestimable blessing f of peace. c Permit me to say in conclusion that t if it be true that we are governed bv an "oligarchy of lawyers," then it must be accepted with all the allowt ances and modifications detailed in , this communication. a 1 will also disavow in advance the imDutation of beinsr a self-constituted 0 apologist or advocate for a class of men fully competent to speak for > themselves.

But. there is compensation in all things, and the friends and patrons of the old company can feel entire confidence in its new proprietors, as the well established reputation of the Ashley Phosphate Company for honesty and liberality in the management of its aflairs will give full assurance of satisfaction to all who may deal with n I IU The expenditure necessary in the purchase of the Charleston works by the Ashley Phosphate Cempany has necessitated the enlargement of their capiul stock; and now, with new additional works, increased capital and extended facilities for manufacturing, they are in better position than ever before to supply the wants of the trade.

J One of the oldest residents of Kane, a small village in this county, is-Jonathan Kendall. iHc is an eccentric person, and spends the greater part of his time in the woods with his gun. He was 68 years old last fall. At the age of 12 he was a crack shot, and there were few in this county who could beat him. This place was at that time little better than an unbroken wilderness, through which roamed thousands of bears, deer, panthers, and other wild animals. Mr. Kendall says he has shot and killed over 8,600 'deer, 375 bears, besides a many panthers, wildcats, and catamounts. The greater part of the hunting season is spent by Mr. Kendall in a small hut which he built for himself in the midst of the forest, he going there as soon as the law permits deer-liunting in thf> fall. He had a remarkable scrim- \ mage with a monster bear the other day in which he vanquished the beast, but received serious injuries himself. While he was crossing a piece of swamp ground a mile from his cabin he discovered in the snow the footprints of a bear. Following up the trail ho soon found Bruin's homo in : cave in a'rocky ledge a few hundred feet away, and on a bed of leaves were lying two little cubs no bigger than kittens. He had captured his prizes and was retreating when he encoutered an immense she bear, the mother of the cubs who had scented the i stranger. ' Before Mr. Kendall could place his i rifle to his -shoulder the. animal was upon him, and, jrrasping him in its no too cr-Avd him s:i;:h a terrible saueeze that he fa*V:.;l. The bear, thinking him dead, released its grip. He fortunately regained his consciousness quickly, t and while the bear was playing with her . cubs the plucky hunter drew his rifl<? i and shot it in the side. The bullet did not strike the animaFs heart, and. as it " dashed at him again Kendall drew his t hunting-knife and with one bold stroke [ nearly severed the bear's head from her body. Congratulating himself upon his e&. cape, the hunter picked up tne cubs and started homeward. He had gone but a t short distance, however, when he met fV>/> m?<tA of tho one he ( <I?U VlUCi. uiiv u*??v t had just killed. His rifle was unleaded, i but he unsheathed his clasp-knife as the 5 beast approached him, and plunged it into the Dear's throat. The Dear had, r however, caught him for the fata] hug, I and it was & struggle for life. During I the struggle the pair reached the edge <3 a cliff fully one hundred feet hteh, and . sloping at an angle of forty-five degrees 1 down to a small creek. They soon slid t over the edge of the slope and l>egan . rolling down, every foot of the distance 3 traveled adding to their velocity. When i they reached the foot of the slope they f struck against a tree, killing the bear, j and breaking two of Kendall's ribs and f dislocating his left arm.

T - T i. 1 -DU' ouue more x wouiu say wnat nas beer, said again and again, that without thorough training no women will ever succeed in doing her work to her own or to employer's satisfaction, and if this fact is once well understood by parents and teachers of girls the chief difficulty in the way of the advancemant of women will be removed. " All other difficulties may in time be overcome, and as the employments for women have during the last 30 years been, and still are increasing, the training and work need be no drudgery, there being a sufficient number of different employments open to every class of women that each may choose a department for which she is best fitted by natural gifts and idiosyncrasies. " There are still a great many men and wuiuea wnu Having never Dy experience known what it is to see life stretched out before them with but the one clear fact standing out of the dark future that that they must earn their living or perish, speak of some spheres of wonans' work as 'unwomanly.' "The only possible explanation of this assertion is that those who make it have no idea of the meaning of true womanliness. " A woman may break stones at the wayside all the days of her life; she may preach, lecture,or plead in court; may, indeed, engage in any work done by man, and yet be as true a woman as ever lived on earth. " And why, in the name of justice, is it more unwomanly to be a female cabdriver (to take what lias recently been much cited as an instance of extreme unwomanliness), who drives her cab to keep body and soul together, than to do as the woman of the world, who drives her fancy vehicle through crowded streets and parks, with only a tiny page at her back to represent the 'man?' " There will be unwomanly women in high life and in low as long as the world stands, but no work will ever increase or diminish their numbers. "What the extension of work must needs bring about is the solution of one of the greatest social problems of our time?namely, that of the equalization of the sexes; and after the barrier of inequality fall3, which now is put up at almost every step against women whose qualifications and capacities are second to none, the way is clear enough." 4?? Something New of Ex-President Arthur* " President Arthur," said Senator vest, " is ttie most espert and graceful angler I ever saw handle a rod, and I have seen some of the best. " While we were doing Yellowstone Park, one Sunday, the President and several others besides myself rode ahead of the main party and reached our ciraping place quite early in the day. It was a beautiful spot, well shaded, with a splendid spring at hand, and near the bank of a river. " After we had dismounted I strolled to the edge of the stream, and on the opposite side in a hole just below a little rill I saw a splendid trout playing. He was a magnificent fellow, and siemed to be disporting himself in the clear water?it was as clear as crystal?for his own amusement. " I called the others to come and have a look at him, and expressed my regret that I had left all my rods and tackle with the pack mxiles. Al. i 4.1+~ 4.

" The President, with arms folded across his breast, was quietly watching the trout. " As soon as I had the fly properly secured I extended the rod to the Presi dent, saying: " I want you to catch that fellow.' " No, no,' he responded earnestly, half turning away from me, 41 never touch a rod on the Sabbath.' " I was determined that the President should have that trout; so I stepped to the edge of the brook, which was high and almost perpendicular, and pretended to make a cast or two. I'm no slouch with the fly, and could have made the cast had I wanted to. ' After several ineffectual efforts I again turned to the President, who by this time was eagerly alive to the whole proceeding, and said: ? - ?- ? J - - ^ i. 1-~ " * air. rresiueut, yuu inusnuaiie mo I cast. It is too fax for mo.' "The keen instinct of the sportsman was fully aroused in him, and his eyes were fairly snapping. " He replied: " 4 Well, Vest, I'll consent to hook him, but I will not land him on the Sabbath.' " I passed the rod over to him. He stepped forward to the spot on which I I had stood and made a cast It fell a little short; but the next time he put the fly within two inches of the trout*s nose, and with a swift dart the fish seized the lure. " The President hooked Mm and turning toward me he extended the butt of the rod in my direction, and said hurriedly: " Take it, Vest; take it quick; quick. I won't land him on Sunday.' " I grabbed the rod, and after playing the fish for a while landed him. " He weighed three pounds and a quarter, and the President ate part of him for supper."?[Washington Post. He Could Swim. People on board a steamer at Chatham, N. B., heard a splash and saw a chair floating in the water. Next rose above the waves the head of a man, who remarked : " Don't mind me; I can swim."

Persons generally are Becoming qnite anxious about secnring homes for themselves, and many are availing themselves of the present low price of lots, as well as the facilities afforded by building associations for securing homes by monthly payments. This is as it should be; all persons, even though in moderate circumstances, ought to secure a home, a spot they can call their own, and when this is done life will be rendered much happier. But after all, this is not the sum total of a woman's happiness, for 110 matter how handsome her home might be, how it might abound with luxurious surroundings and richlv carved furniture, yet if it be destitute of a Xew Home Sewing Machine life will be miserable indeed.
