Boldt, who done businessm this place for a .number of years, and left last Christmas for Charleston had died at Jacksonville, FJa., some weeks ago from small pox.

Crime in* Chester.?Under date of the 2nd inst., the following special from Chester appeared in the Sunday j Ifews: Thomas Woods, white, of this couuj ty, was arrested this morning, charged with an attempt to commit an outrage i \fov firm, a white firl about thir ! teen years of age.

It was a very difficult matter to get any of the colored people te assist in burying him, ! and it was not until they were prom! ised pay that three men undertook the | work. This does not speak well for the humanity of our colored people. | An Improvement.?The store-room j ! next north of the entrance to the I Winnsboro Hotel, and formerly occu! pied by Mr. D. R.

The principal business of the meeting1 was to inakc arrangements for Memorial Day, and lor a hot supper for the benefit of the monument fund. Committees were appointed to canvass the different wards for contributions to the supper, and we understand they met with much success in their undertaking. The object is a worthy one, and deserves the patronage of every true believer in the "Lost Cause." The Cornet Band.?What has become of the Winnsboro Cornet Band? This was ence an organization that any town might well proud of, but it seems lo have died a natural death.

This entails a greaily ir.creajc ox- ' penditure on the pari of the State . Weather Service, and us the funds at: my disposal are not sufficient to enable ,! me to continue the increased expense, j I am reluctantly compelled to discon- j tinue the daily telegraphic report to j your place. The'C. C. & A. llailroad Company, i however, uses the report for the bene-1 fit of its business and the same in tele- j graphed to all stations along the line, i The agent will post the bulletin and ' will give every facility for its dissein j ination. I would, therefore, suggest j you get the report from the railroad j bulletin, and continue to hoist the flags for the benefit of the general public as heretofore. Any special information as to storms, etc., will be given to the railroad in the same man- j ner, but a special telegram will also j be sent you, but hereafter the daily* morning report can only be obtained , in the manner above stated. I regret very much that this curtailment of the Service is necessary at this time. It is hoped, however, that when the regular Government appropriation again becomes available, that the Service in this State may be increased. Please let me hear from you as to practicability of your using the railroad report. A Fairfifld Invention*.?Mr. J. C. Huev for the past month has been at tempting to complete a cotton planter which he thought when completed would be far superior to any now in use. "We are glad to announce that his efforts have been crowned with success. A perfected sample of his genius is now on exhibition at the store of Mr. R. M. Huey, which was made by the iron works of Charlotte. In brief it is about as neat an invention as one would wish to see, which will be clearly shown by the following description: The first advantage over other inventions is the fact that it is not near so cumbersome, being only sixteen inches in length. The! front of it is *0 made that it opens the , bed, and in case it should strike a rock or any obstacle it gives way by means of a spring, but immediately opens the bed as soon as the obstacle is passed. Following this comes the planter proper, which distributes the seed remarkably even in the row. After this is done and just in rear comes the cover, which is so constructed that it passes any obstace, and when passed immediately performs its work. The only other, and last piece of the machinery, is tne roller, which is so constructed that it leaves the row an incline plane from the centre, in order that the water may flow off and not stand on the bed. The inventor has also constructed a corn and pea dropper, which may be attached to the same machine in such a woy that it can be regulated to drop either corn or peas, at any distauce from each hill that is desired. A patent has been applied for, and the verdict of all who have it is that it is one of the most perfect machines ever ~ % "* ?1-"** .

Editors: Unless something j can be done to stop the indiscriminate firing of the fields and woods, the little vegeiable matter remaining in the country from which our tired and wornout lands misrht be rejuvenated, | will soon be exhaused, and poverty and starvation dire and complete mnst remain, as it is already, the common heritage of the- people. It is only necessary to ascend any high point in your town, and casting your eyes in the country in any direction, from three to five fires are visible; whilst our papers are teeming with accounts of destructive conflagrations evervI where. In fact it is almost impossible to inhale a pure breath or air either ! bv dav or night, so dense is the smoke ; from these forest fires. It is a crime i to barn corn stalks and other vegetable matter from our fields, every particle of rubbish being needed to add humus to our soil. The man who gathers and destroys any vegetable mutter whatever, is a great sinner in the sight of God, and should be regarded as big a fool in the eyes of men as the man who takes the corn from the trough of his horse and burns if to make more rapid disposition of it. There are plenty of tk-o: spots, bald places and gullies which would be greatly benefitted by the addition of a coat of briars, weeds or brush, and all log piles might be arranged in rows across the fields and allowed to rot; in fact, every paiticle of vegetable matter possible should be turned under with the plow and incorporated with the soil. But whether you do this ?? nof lr.f- mo nstc vfin to cease vour criminal carelessness, whereby your neighbor's forests, fields, fences* and homes are in constant jeopardy. And in case you disregard this reasonable, (Jlnistian request, you may be indicted under an amendment to Section 2,497 of roe General Statutes, introduced by ihe Senator from this county, and passed at the last session which reads as follows: Whoever shall wilfully and maliciously set fire to or burn, any grass, brush, or other combustible matter, so as thereby any woods, fields, fences, or marshes, of any other person or persons, be set on fire, or cause the Mime to be done, or he thereunto aiding or assisting shall upon indictment and conviction thereof, be liable to tine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the Court, and shall moreover be liable to the action of any person or persons who may have sustained damage .thereby: Provided, That no person or persons shall be prevented from firing woods, fields, lauds or marshes, within his own, so that he suffer not the fire to get without the bounds of his lands, and injure the woods, fences, or grass of his neighbor or neighbors. oxe wh?> has suffered. TAX AT I OX FOR RAILROADS. Jlessrs. Editors: I think that the Legislature not only did wisely to provide a plan by which townships iikiv tax themselves to aid in buijding railroads passing through thein, but that it is right for the State ro use the public money to build railroads wherever there are good grounds to believe :i railroad will do good. I therefore not onlv endorse the views of Mr. W. S. Hall, but go farther. Many bright young men a're led astray hv the. nleasinir theories of certain writers, who Incnlcalc the doctrine that the only duty of govermcnt is to protect a citizen from wrong, perpetrated bv a fellow citizen, and that beyond this the destiny of a State for weal or woe, for riches or poverty, for refinement or degradation, must be determined by "individual effort" or "the principle of selfishness." By this theory ofgovernmentaState house may be built, where crime may be defined and its penalties fixed; a courthouse, v where innocence or guilt rnay be established; and a jail, for the pun ishment of crime, ror tnese purposes brick trails and dirt floors will be sufficient, and every dollar expended for architectural adornment wiJl be a ?obbe'ry of the "over-taxed and dear people." Everything else should be left to individual selfishness or patriotism. Well; this theory ousht to be true. It's a pity "it is not true. Facts supported by the experience of 4,000 years in the government of men proves its falsity." Evolutiou will have to pass through several more cycles before the race is sufficiently perfected to work under this theory. This theory has brought together 11 /\t*tc TiTtinrQnr-P ftTlfl ?>Li aiJ??t; x^iivtr o? .learning, public spirit and meanness, that cannot rise to a comprehension of public good, because its vision is obscured by a quarter of a dollar. This strange combination in our Legislature caused the repeal of the law enacted for the encouragament of manufactories, and caused the suspension of the work on the Columbia Canal. A beauttful theory of government may do for Aristotle, or Locke, or Rousseau, or Herbert Spencer, to build upon, but Bacon adopted the other method of reasoning, which is, tolearn what have been the recognized functions of government, and what is known to be necessary to the very existence of government at the present day. History will show that it is the duty of government to do whatever will conduce to the wealth, power, moral j and intellectual elevation of its people. 1 Let Prussia, which is a recent brilliant i exemplification of this truth, be in| duced to adopt the former theory, and 1 ?n a fihnrt. time she would be wiped out of existence. In our country where the people rule I contend that the majority has the right morally, as it has the power, to do whatever it thinks best for the whole, and the minority has no moral right to prevent it. I believe it is wise and jest for the State to open and work highways, to build schoolhouses and "colleges, railroads and canals, to drain swamps, embank rivers, to encourage mechanics, farmers and factories, by bounties from the public treasury, or to do anything else that will make the people richer, better or wiser. The State of New York spends S70,000 annually to keep I freo tA nil. the Erie Canal, VJ II j <VIiV*. li vv wv v...; which apparrently benefits only the counties through "which it runs, and recently the Legislature has appropriated $550,000 to enlarge the locks, and thereby multiply the benefits of that noble enterprise. We, in South Carolina, may sit still in poverty and ignorance, and sneer at a rich and powerful people and at the methods by which they acquire wealth and power, but the world wili not concede us the importance that we arroj gate to ourselves. If Diogenes had j possessed no other title to recognition i i 1Kr?;nor in :i tnh. DUi, (lie UCUUiiai iLv vi .11 ? , he would have deserved and received on]}'contempt and oblivion. Columbus would never have discovered America if Ferdinand and Isabella had nol given him the people's money to further his project.
