Barnwell, which occuted in that city on Saturday. She was the daughter of the Lrtc lion. Robert W. Barnwell, once president of the South Carolina College, but latterly librarian. On tin death of her father Miss Barnwell succeeded him as librarian, and for the past few years has faithfully discharged the duties of the position. In the Bank.?In conversation with our bank officials on Wednesday, we learned that at the close of business on the 1st January, 1SS7, the deposits on hand subject to check amounted to $85,000. On the same date in 1SS6 there were -557,000. At the close of business on the 25th inst., the amount on hand was $72,000, an increase of $7,000 over the deposits at the same time in 1886. The above shows a considerable increase lor the present as compared with last year. A Serious Accident.?A little colored girl on Mr. B. G. Tenuant's place, near White Oak, met with a horrible death last week. It seems that her mother had left her in the house where was a pretty good fire, to go herself and get some water. In some way during her absence, the child's clothing took fire, and being quite small she was unable to extin4 -ft.? %vr i-vr? U/M? K/"Vrl TTtO O fOT qill&iJ iliv; liaiucc. iiti vwi; ?? v%,* riblv burned, and after suffering j severely lor about twelve liours she was relieved of her sufferings by death. The Reason Why.?Our esteemed contemporary, the Columbia Record, asks us to explain why it is that our merchants can undersell the Columbia merchants. Well the fact is that the matter may be susceptible ol several explanations; it may be due to the superior enterprise of our merchants, to their better skill in purchasing goods, and to a number of other causes, such as these, that rents are cheaper, wood is cheaper and the cost of living generally is chapcr than in Columbia. It may be that our friends at the Capital don't like this but we can't help it. American Agricultural Associa tiox.?i\i u xecuiii iiiet/uug ui tuc State Board of Agricultural in Columbia, the Board acting upon the request of Governor Richardson, recommended the following gentlemen as delegates to the American Agricultural and Dairy Association, which meets in New York city 011 the Sth inst.: M. P. Mills,Greenville; II. Brewer, Charleston; YV. A."Clark, Columbia; E. R. Mclver, Darlington; Johnson Hagood, Barnwell; B. F. Crayton, Anderson; Gen. .John Bratton, Fairfield. These are all representative men of our S?fi!r?. mirl no better selections could have been made. Mount Zion Institute.?At the recent meeting of the Mount Zion Society Messrs. J. M. BeatyyT. K. Elliott and J. E. McDonald were elected members of the board of trustees. These gentle men are young men, thorough-going and energetic. They will do much to farther the educational interests of the town. Mount Zion College is already in a very flourishing condition. With its new building, its new and deservedly popular corps of instructors and its increased attendance of students, it promises to take again the high place which it formerly heict among ine educational institutions of the State. New Arrivals.?"We call special attention to the new advertisement of Mr. S. S. Wolfe found in another column. Mr. Wolfe is one of the oldest merchants now in business in our town, and with the exception of a few years, has been in the mercantile business continually since he came to Winnsboro. Profiting by his long experience he [can justly claim that he knows exactly what goods to buy and how to sell them, He has just received a fresh .supply of heavy ^and fancy groceries wrhich he is offering to the citizens of Fairfield at a very small profit. Thanking his customers for past favors he will be glad :o serve rhr?m in fntnro whPilPVftl' thftV need anything in his line. Educational.?We understand that a motion is now 011 foot to induce the next State Teachers' Institute to meet at -Winnsboro. The idea is a good one. We have all the facilities for accommodating the teachers. Board can be had cheap, the health of the place is unsurpassed, and the new Mount Institute building will furnish ample accommodations for the daily exercises of the Institute. It can but have a beneficial effect on our people in arousinr interest in educational matters, to have so large and intelligent a body as the teacher of ihe State to spend a month or two of the summer in our town. Their influence would be felt after thev had gone. "We hope that our people encourage the project ar.d that it may succeed. The Winnsboro Hotel.?We call ; the attention of the citizens of Fairfield I ar.d the traveling public to the adver| tisement of the above well knowi: I Hotel found in another column. Peo| pie often judge oi'a town by its hotels. We are glad that this is true. At the Winnsboro Hotel everything' will be found first-class. Neat, comfort able rooms for guests, large sample ro oms for the accommodation ol commercial travelers, and a table lit for a k;j)g. arc some 01 tue many uuiatmnis which it offers to the people ot" F airfield and the public generally. Terms very reasonable. We guarantee that if you are in town and want a firstclass meal, or a quiet nights rest Lliat you will be furnished with your desires at the Wii;n-boro Hotel. A Bai:ixg I)::ed.?One night last week in Rock Hi!!, some unkowu person attempted to assassinate a Mir?. Ityles, who at the lime was qc ictly rocking in a chair at her fathers Lome in that place, it seems that there has been some domestic trouble letw een Mr. and Mrs. livies, who up tc? a short time ago resided in Charlotte, but the latter had recently come back to her father's residence at Ilock Kill. The father of Mrs. Rylcs lias noticed him that he will becallcd upon to account for his whereabouts on the night of thn clmntlrii/ Hnl ill WM-V "\t f livll'S sa\s that he can do without any trouble. The affair has created no little interest in and around liock IliU It will be remembered .that up to a short time ago Mr. liyles was a conductor on Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta "Railroad. From Or. Talmage.?In a recent discourse Dr. Talmage said: "Gather up she money that the working classes have spent for rum during the iast thirty years, and wil! build lor overworking man a house and lay out for I him a warden, and clothe his sons in broadcloth and his daughters in silt, and stand at his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays and secure him a policy of life insurance so that the present home may be well maintained after he is dead.

Samuels Arrested oa Saturday, Gives Bond and is Released Until Monday Morn hip: at 11 O'clock?Other Particulars of the Proceedings. On Saturday evening just after dark Sheriff MeCarlev served a warrant cn Mr. L. Sr.? uels for his arrest; in the j proceedings begun by two Baltimore firms by their attorneys at this place. Mr. Samuels gave bond for his appearance on Mondav morning by a deposit of $i,000. It. will be remembered that on the 30th December, 1886, Mr. Samuels executed a deed of assignment to Mr. 0. W. Buchanan for the benefit of his creditors. The proceedings under discussion arose from a proceeding begun by two Baltimore firms against Mr. Samuels for fraud. A number of affidavits were submitted in support of the two cases under consideration, which were promptly replied to by counsel for the si r\i wln 11 f tf f aa1.? ^ama fwna f a ViL I Vj 11 llil IJ1 LL lUUXV lliKs lliuu LU ilUU tiic proceedings in the two cases, after which Mr. T. K. Elliott was called to the stand to testify in regard to some transaction with the Winnsboro National Bank. Mr. Q. D. Willi ford | was next called to the stand in regard to certain statements made by a clerk of Mr. Samueis and by Mr. Samuels himself. The proceedings above referred to were supported by affidavits from both firms in Baltimore and by affidavits of Messrs. F. A. Sitgreaves, J. \V. McUreighf, J. C. Caldwell, I. N. Withers, A. \V. Brown, Q. D. Williford and others, all going to show that the defendant was guilty of fraud. These statements were rebutted by affidavits from Messrs. L. Samuels, O. W. Buchanan, W. M Propst and others. Mr. G-. ~\Y. Ragsdaie opened the case for the defense, and in a well directed argument supported the case for Mr. Samuels. A number of cases were cited in support of the position that no sufficient securities had been presented by the plaintiffs to secure the defendant in case of an action for damage. Mr. W. C. Jlion, for the plaintfls, replied to the argument of Mr. Ragsdale, and cited several authorities in r.eplv to the position taken by the defendant that there were no sureties in the undertaking as provided by lave. Mr. A. Sanders, of Chester, who had been employed by the defendant, went into the particulars of the case and made a strong representation of his side of the case, arguing that no fraud had been committed by Mr. Samuels in the disposition of his goods, and that it was legitimate to sell goods at a great sacrifice in preference to carrying them over until the next season; that it was an action in the nature of a criminal proceeding, and that the burden of proof rested . u ? 1 upon liiu piauiuii>, miu luul uju uvfondant was entitled to the benefit of all doubt as to his guilt. 2\Ir. Chas. A. Douglass was next heard for the plaintiffs, and in a brief statement recapitulated the argument of Mr. Rion, in order that it might be impressed upon the presiding officer, and as an introduction to his own argument, Mr. Douglass thoroughly sifted the matter of the transfer of the supply store to Messrs. Groeschel Sc Co. by Mr. L Samuels, and in a short while thereafter reconveyed to Mr. Herman Landceker. He openly handled the defendant ungloved and pro ceeded to surround him with facts, which to say the least was anything but plea-ant to a reasonable man. The affidavits of the plaintiffs in the action were rigidly discussed, and the aiiuia.'iis in support oj me aisa ui i the [defendant were also thoroughly handled. 4 Mr. E. 15. Kagsdale next supported the case of the defendant, and by way of introduction asked what Mr. Samuels was held for. lie proceeded to ; read a number of sections from the , General Siatutes as approved in 1S82, | after which he took exception to the proceedings, upon the ground that the plaintiffs had not stated this case in the proceedings either by affidavit as prescribed by the laws of South Carolina or in any other way. Mr. Ragsdale's argument was mostly directed to the law governing the case, and was a strong presentation of his side. In his argument he made some happy hits on the gentlemen who preceded him. Mr. J. E. McDonald was then heard for the plaintiffs, and confined himself mostly to the law touching the case under consideration. He thoroughly discussed the case from a law point, a .a in his authorities submitted i number of cases from New York to support his position. The authorties from New York, which as a general rule are followed by the courts of South Carolina, were very damaging to the case of the defendant as far as the law of the courts of South Caro lina is concerned. Mr. II. A. Gaillard next represented the defendant, but stated that he did not desire to make any argument, but to correct some matters of law as stated by the preceding attorney. Mr. O. W. Buchanan closed the case fm- thn defense, and as a matter of fact closed the case. He stated that the matter was a relic of barbarism, and proceeded to anue the case as supported by the facts. Mr. Buchanan also confined himself mostly to the law governing the caso, but also took occasion to recapitulate the facts in the case as presented by his colleagues in their argument, adding many other conclusions which could be drawn from the statements as presented, and making in the whole a strong argument for the case of his client. ~ AVe hope that our readers will not think that the foregoing is even a condensed statement as it should be. but it was taken down in the hurry of the case, and in the main we vouch for the correctness of the proceedings as we conceived them.

' Every one has done his best. There f has been no extravagance, no idleness ; among onr farmers. Providence by I withholding good seasons is :i!o:ie t he i cause of our misfortunes. The Lcyis-1 lature might have helped us, but it i didn't. Our lands are red aiid ditched and the niggers are going to leave us." This o'er sad talc is about the bur-: den of "S* M. S.V song. If he is right we arc surely in a bad plight. A. gentleman who has been to Cali- ! fornia, China and Europe, tells me he prefers South Carolina to any land he ever visited, and few spots on this globe will surpass Fairfield in soil and i climate. So if lie is right this must be | a bad world to live in. Let me tell "S. M. S." my opinion. There is not one white man in Fairfield county outof twenty, be he farmer or no;, who does half the work he is capable of. The white man is hard to find wno owns j two mules that does not employ : negroes to do his work, or who owns a tew hundred acres of land and docs not rent it out to be "ditched" and 1 mined by negroes. In either case the negro generally does the work there j is, and the white man generally loafs. There are exceptions, but the above is ; the rule. Can any people prosper who act in this \\ ay? A Northern man said a few years ago, "i'airlieid ccrtainiy is one of the best placcs or. the earth, for I have never been in any country where people work so little and live as well." That our neople both white and black spend much foolishly and unnecessarily ' is well known. There is a man who has been on the lien, in debt and falling behind for years. Last year he said, "I will rise from this degredation. I will live within my means and i pay what I owe ii I have to live on eorn bread and water." T7 worked ,] with this determination and the result,; was he paid his years account, paid j some 011 old debts and has something j to go on this year. Manly resolution, self-denial and industry for a few years will make any man in Fairfield independent and self-respecting, so as to cause him to spurn tho idea of giving a lien to anybody. j Now as to the Legislature. What could it do to help the farmer'* As soon expect a man to hold himsclt offj the ground by his own breeches. The i Legislature can benefit thsfarmers only i by making laws to foster schools and 1 ( colleges, to diversify the industries of ' the State by encouraging the build- ; ing of factories and workshops j ^ and railroads, the digging o: canals and working of mines and quar- 1 ries. It is silly to expect ncip ior uic farmer in any other war. These things will increase the value of hi? land and give profitable markets for his pro ducts. I read once of a wagoner whose : wagon got stuck in I he mud, ami who ' fell 011 his knees aud prayed to Ilercules to help him. Ilercnles came and seeing the wagoner on his kneels, said,; "Get up, you lazy fellow, and put j your own shoulder to the wheel before ' j you ask me to help." I The wagoner took hold of the wheel j j with a vim, clacked to his horses and j < out they went. 1 commend the moral j of this fable to "S. M. S." and to all other croakers. "The fault is not in j our stars, Brutus, but in ourselves, j LT--X in, ? lll'dl \VU aitz uiiucnxu^c* As to the darkey, I ask "S.
