verins, the condemned murderer of
Fannie Lillian Madison was executed
r
in this city to-day at one o'clock. The
trial, condemnation and execution of
the murderer has been one of the
most interesting in the history of
Virginia, as there was a great diversity
of opinion in the case. He died on
the gallows stoutly protesting his innocence.

The Palmetto Regiment.?Lieu- j
tenant Colonel A. J1 White of the .
Palmetto Regiment, and formerly Cap- j
tain of the Catawba Rifles, has ten-1
dered his resignation, to take effect :
as soon as his successor shall be elected
and qualified. Capt. W. G. Jordan,
of the Gordon Light Infantry, has been j
mentioned by a leading daily o*T the
State as a suitable and competent person '
for the succession. Captain Jordan

Civil Service Examination.?The
postmaster at Columbia has been notified
by the civil service commission, i
that an examination will be held in
that city on the 27th inst., for the ben- j
efit of those desiring departmental work j
in Washington. Our county, w* ' - j
lieve, has not a single repress tutu.- |
in the departments in w&&a:r>g'to?,
aiiil examination wll1 afford some of
our young- men an opportunity to try
a competitive examine: n for a posi- ;

is likely that some appointrccr- will (
be made soon afte :*ie examination. i
Columbia's Union Depot.?Mr.
Thomas, the general manager of the
Richmond & Danville System of railroads,
has effected arrangements with
the general manager of the South Caro- \
lkia Railway, whereby the depot of!
that company will hereafter be used j
by the Charlotte, < v.lnmbia& Augusta j
Railroad, as well as the Columbia & j
Greenville Railroad. This gives the
city a union depot, which will be a
great convenience to the traveling;
public- Trains on the Charlotte, Co- j
lumbia & Augusta Railroad will run j
to the union de^ot as soon as a connecting
track can be laid.
Wedding Bells.?Another of Winnsboro's
promising young men has :
wearied of single blessedness, and
fallen a victim tc the charms of a fair i

deuce of the bride's mother, Mrs. R. Y. j
Owens, by the Ryv. J. T. Chalmers, I
Mr. George R. Lauderdale and Miss I
i
Sallie E. Coleman were united in mar- j
riage. The ceremony was performed j
in the presence of relatives and a few i
friends, after which a bountiful repast I
was served in hon-: r of the occasion, j
We join with a host of other friends :n j
wishing the newly wedded pair all tho ;
joy and happiness that is possible.
Chkstes and Camden Short Line.? i
A meeting of the incorporator of the
Chester and Camden Short Line Railroad
was held at Longtown on Tuesday
last. A permanent organization
was affected by the election of Major
Julias Mills, of Chester, President, and
the election of the following directors:
Messrs. J. K. Henry and C. C. Culp,
of Chester; and Messrs. Chas. A.
Douglass and Louis Wilds, ot Fairfield.
The directors from Kershaw ;
I county will be elected at a subsequent j
meeting. J. E. McDonald, Esq., was ;
elected Attorney of the Company.
Committees were appointed to solicit
subscriptions from the different townships
along the proposed line. There
is little doubt but that if the proposed

the eastern section of our county. We !
have the Greenville & Columbia and }
Spartanburg & Union Railroads upon I
the western side, and the South Caro j
lina Division of the Richmond & Dan- j
ville through the central portion of our 1
county, and the people on the eastern j
section have always felt the need of a j
j railroad thronght their midst. They |
! now have an opportunity to get one it"
| they desire it, and one which is bound
i to benefit our county generally. Onr
i best wishes attend their efforts.
After Forty-five: Years.?A rathi
pv Tw*Mil?ar sink in the earth on the
; street just west of the residence of
j Mr. K. C. Gooding, has created a little
[ sensation in that portion of our town,
; and with it there is a little history of
| which perhaps most of our readers are
iguorant. About the year 1842 Julius
Hudson, a servant of Mr. J. W. Hudson,
whose monument stauds in front
of the college building, committed suicide,
and at the request of his master
his remains were interred where now
the street leading to the residence of
Mr. H. L. Elliott passes. Mr. Elliott
was at the time coroner and remembers
distinctly the death and interment.

the crust from the grave was taken off
in oacler to level the ground, perhaps
none of the workmen knowing that
beneath their work rested the remains
of Julius Hudson. Since that time the
grave has been sinking, and at present
has gone down about eighteen inches.
The tact of the sinking "called to the
memory of a number ot our oldest citizens
the fact that it was the grave of
Jnlius Hudson, who committed suicide
and was buried forty-five years

are informed that the Rev. T. W. Melwho
has served his churches
iu Fairfield s > lo:jg and well, lias resigned
his charges in t!:i? comity.
This is the first time he has taken a
breathing snell sine he started his
ministry i;: the Bapf church some
forty years ag.;. Tbi* determination
on his part is heartily regretted by his

some btii is.-ii in the lower p?.: t of the
State and continue his life's work.
Several calls await hi? election. Mr.
Mellicliamp come to Fairfield dircctSv
after the war in 1S66, and took charge
o? the pastorates at Wiunsboro and
Blythewood, and his quiet earnestness
in his work, his many virtues and
Christian conci uct at once endeared
him to his flocks. Although now in
his sixty-seventh year tie seems as
hearty in physique and as energetic
in intellect as ever, and bids fair to
work in his Master's cause for many
years to come. It may not be out of
place to state that the subject of this
sketch was the grand-son of Errnest j
Alellicharep, the hero in one of Siwms
most popular novels, being a son of
St. Louis Mellichaiup, formerly a
large and wealthy planter in St. Pauls

A Cotton Fire.?A few minutes 1
afier eleven o'clock on Sunday while
most of our citizens were at the different
churches attending service, they j
were aroused by the taps of the fire
bell. It was soon learned that the j
cotton on the platform at the freight
depot was on fire. The discovery was
made by Mr. A. E. Beckham, the section
master, who lives the depot, and
an alarm was at once raised. Engines
Companies No. 1 and 2, and Hook
and Ladder Company No. 1, the two
latter colored companies, at once pro
ceeded to the scene of the tire, am !
present at once proceeded to remove
the cotton from the platform in order I
to ?fet to the burning bales, which I
were near the centre. The hand en- j
ginc soon bad two streams playing j
upon the fire, and in a short time the j
. earner added two more streamb and j
i;i less than ten minutos the fire was j
under control. Twenty-three bales- j
were consumed or more or less in- j
jnred. There were one hundred and !
Say-live bales on the platform, and j
the prompt rev.-onse of the fire core pa- j
n!es averted what must h :\ c been a j
very serious fire. It is supposed that j
the fire was the result of some one i
siiiokii!"- near the cotton, as we learn J
it is the custom of a number of small j
Ivy* to play around and on top of the
t: t'.u-t- Sundays. Too much praise ;
cannot uc ^Iven the two colored companies,
as i; was perhaps due to their j
ability to throw a stream so promptly i
that the fire was soon under control,
while the Hook and Ladder Company
did gallant service with their hooks, in
removing the cotton from the flames.
Tills is perhaps another warning
to those who iudulge in smoking
near cotton, and should be
one which wii! make them more carefa!
in the future. The total loss will
not fall tar short of six hundred dollars,
nearly covered by insurance.

i In addition to this the propriety of
of reducing loos was discussed and we

bie discussion the fees heretofore
j char^rd by the legal profession have
! been rednced considerably. There is
j little doubt such an organization
will be of much b- i:-iU both to the
i members of the bar and the public
: generally. The stringency of the times '
j was the great argument advanced for j
' a reduction of the fees heretofore j
charged, and we feel assured that
legal advice has been put within reach :
of the poorest citizen of the county. |
Another meeting will be held at an ;
early day, when a perfect organization j

| CHESTER & CAJ1DEJS RAILROAD, j
| Some Reasons Why the Chester & Camden :
Railroad Should be Built.
j Jfessrs. Editors: In addition to the i
; advantages of having a railroad and !
i the facilities fur transportation, all of
: which those who live near a railroad |
will admit without argument, there ;
are reasons in particular why the
above road should be built: 1st. It
will pass through a splendid country, !
healthy and rich in natural advan- !
tages. 2nd. It will connect Chester,!
E> 1 ,
a future great railroad centre, and j
through Chester connect upper Caro- j
ina with the coast regions. It will;
also connect York and Chester and '
! part of Fairfield with Charleston by a j
| route between thirty or forty miles !
I shorter than the route by Columbia. ;
j 3rd. It will pass near the greatest;
! rrrnfflu rv/MTjni- in thn Jirifl if it
I ?aitl J/V/?T^A *** ?
will aid in the development of that
j immense power, and there no is reason
to doubt that it will, the road will do
more for the future prosperity of the
j State than any other road of fity miles, j
4th. It will reach ihe head ot steam- j
boat navigation on the "YVateree, and j
i give at Camden the choice of railroad j
or steamboat transportation.
There are other reasons that may
apply to other sections equally j
as well as to this, but I hope not, and j
that is, we need the employment that!
the building the railroad will give to a !
great many of our poverty-stricken :
people, to enable them to make an j
honest living*. Each one of these rea-:
sons coultl be amplified, but if any one
will take the time to think, he will see
the force of each point or reason given. '

for the ceremony. Promptly at the

ITEMS FROM MORRIS CREEK.
I Messrs. Editors: It has been a Jong
while since your correspondent has
appeared in columns. The anxiety of
watching, waiting of hoping and fearing
and finally bereavement and desolation
has crosscd his path. So far as
; my observation extends the past year
I has been one of unusual mortality, and
j apart from pulmonary and some ether
diseases which slowly but surely bring
I its victims to the grave, many, have
i been euddfn and unexpected. But
; the past year, with all its joys and
j sorrows, is now a among the things
j that have been and can never be rej
called. All its records against us or
i in our favor are sealed up'never to be

! far has been unusually c6ld, and the

for the past week in the prosecution of
their work, on account of the cold.
So with our steam 'mills and gins.
There will be, after the icy blockade
is removed, more changes and moving
about, especially among the colored
people, than I have known since war,
and the last mentioned class as well as
many white families are in a worse
condition.
Our Morris Creek school is under
the supervision of Miss Jemima Smith,
one among our best and most laborious
teachers. She has as yet taaght
but little over two weeks, and notwithstanding
the severe weather has
had seventeen pupils. &ne possesses
the happy but* rare combination of
winning the love of the children, and
yet of maintaining' strict discipline.
In tact a strict discipline is the only
way to secure their esteem, for chiJj
dre'n have sense enough to secretly
: despise a teacher who permits them to
| do as they please.
Our genial neighbor Mr. Robert

The Usual Result.
It is not to be denied that a good
sewing machine is one of the most
important appurtenances ofthe modern
household.
We thought we had a good machine
until one day the ageni of the New
Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an omtiou
upon its characteristic merits.
4,Bnt," we answered, 4*uur machine
suits us well and we do not care for another."
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his machines
with us, k-for the ladies to try."
The request was not unreasonable,

the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies should look
it over; they did so, and as a consequence
fell in love with it. They saythat
without the slightest wish to
decry or disparage any other machine,
this, all things considered, is, in their
opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
