And, also, the following: Be it farther ordained, That no butcher shall be allowed to carry on his trade or vocation of butchering within the corporate limits of the town from the first day of May until the first day of October. _ W . r>. GILBERT, Chief ol" Police. Cnor iiErOKTS.?The Agricultural Department has received 239 special reports from different sections of the Slate, in regard to the crop prospect. It is estimated that only 7S per cent, of the spring planting is completed by 1st May, while this year it was up to 8o per cent., showing an advance of 7 per cent, over average years. From these reports it seems that there has been a decrease of 8 per cent, in the average of cotton planted, ond a decrease of 13 per cent in the amount of commercial fertilizers used, while 32 per cent, of the crop has been fertilized L by home raised manure. The corn prospect is better than for a number of years. A larger acreage has been planted, and more attention has been paid to fertilizing corn lands. Of the entire crop, 55 per cent has been fertilized, while only 3 per cent, of this has been done with commercial manures. The stand is reported s as 93, and the general condition S7. "What is reported as better than last year, still it- was injured greatly by the severe winter. The condition is of <7 osorroinct Sflftll fVlA Iiyw i w V*.* vuv j 1st May of last year. Fall sown oats were very much damaged by the severe winter, but the yield wi!? exceed that! o: last year, while spring oats have needed rain very much. The yield this year will exceed that of last year about 15 per cent. There has been an increase of 13 per cent, in the acreage planted in cane, and this crop is reported in excellent condition. Labor is reported as plentiful and efficient. Upon the whole, the report of the condition of the crop will compare favorably with any year for a number of years past, and superior to any in the last few years. The farmers de serve a good yield, and it is our earnest wish that their highest anticipations in this rcspect will be realized. fleeting o? Citizens. The public meeting at the Court House on Wednesdry night was largely attended. At S.30 o'clock the meeting was cailed to order, and on motion of Mr. E. B. Ragsdale, Mr. G. H. McMaster was unanimously elected chairman. On motion of J. F. McMaster, Mr. E. 35. Ragsdale was chosen secretary. The chairman in a few well chosen remarks slated the object of the meeting, and announced that the same was ready for business. Mr. E. B. Kagsdale moved that a committeeof ten be aonointed bv the chair, whose duty it should be to prepare a memorial, to be forwarded to the inter-State commerce commission, and to collect evidence of the unjust discrimination in freights, which the railroad companies have made against the town of "Winnsboro and the county of Fairfield. Mr. J. F. McMaster seconded the motion. Mr. C. A. Douglass moved to amend by making the committee consist of four instead of ten members. Motion seconded. After remarks upon the amendment by a number of members-, the amendment was put to a vote and lost. The original motion was then put and carried.

Editors: It affords your correspondent great pleasure to read the able articles contributed to your paper from different sections of our county, and especially from Morris Creek, but not having been favored with anything from him lately, nor from any one else from this section, I hope you will allow me a short space in your columns in which to give vent to a few crude ideas and observations. viz.: I firmly believe our county is in better shape, from a business standpoint, than it has been for several years. More farmers are terracing their lands, getting better stock and cattle, planting a greater variety of crops, thereby raising more of the necessaries of life, and in very way diversifying their business than they have since the war, I am sure I have never seen as much upland corn planted nor know so great a per cent, of the cotton crop planted at this date in this section, *90 per cent, of the cotton was planted by 1 May, which has not been the case during" the last ten years. There are very few fall sown oats sown in this section, and spring oats arc not doing well. Wheat is"doing well and promises a fair crop. "We will have plenty of fruit despite the severe spring. There are more melons planted than usual, and we hope to be able to invite you out to a feast on same this summer.

PICyiC AT CATAWBA FALLS. "What a Bachelor from TVinnsboro Saw? The Xaturn.1 Scenery The "Falls" in the River and on the Rocks?The Picnic a Grand Success. Messrs. Editors: The annual picnic at Catawba Falls, on the first Saturday in May, is a big thing; all of the very ! best looking people from the four counties of Fairfield, Chester, Lancaster and Kershaw are expected to attend. nnnsonnentlv vonr correspon 7 -X J J dent felt it his duty to be there. Leaving town on the evening before lor fear of disappointing the people, your correspondent, in company with a prominent member of the B. P. U., likewise distinguished for his splendid personal appearance, set out upon the not unpleasunt pilgrimage. Once on the way, we confidentially admitted to each other that we were troubled with the fear of being on the traditional "wild goose chase," but we put ' cur fears behind us and pressed forward with an inspiration that is supposed to belong exclusively to the genuine missionary. "We drove up at about sundown to the residence of Mr. Daniel Hall, Jr., and we were royally entertained "for the night. "We liked the place so well that we stopped again on our return. Mr. Hall's farm is worth as much to a ? Art rt?? Avrvaw wo?if a ] UJJUniUUU as UAA CApVULUUuiai statiou or an agricultural college. It is a good place to learn how to farm. His plantation is well kept up, and is one of the best that we recollect to have seen in the county. Mr. Hall raises his own corn, wheat, oats, e?c., furnishes supplies to his hands, 'and sells his cotton when he gets read}*, and this 1*3 about the way to make farming pay. Mr. Hall aud our readers will pardon this digression, being a practical farmer we natui'ally feel a large inierest in such matters. But to return to our journey, we arrived at the "Falls" promptly at about 11a. m., ready to participate in the ceremonies of the occasion. Already many person had preceded us, the road near the Falls was blocked with many vehicles, we found a place however for ours and walked dots n to the Catawba, a picturesque stream that bears the name of a famous tribe of Indians, all but a remnant of wnicn nas aisappearea irom toe eartn. The natural scenery of the place is worthy of notice, indeed. In the vernacular of young womanhood, we may say that it is "perfectly grand." There is something "primitive" and "primeval" about"this rugged spot, which is rather calculated to "impress one with the sagacity of Solomon's observation, "One generation goeth and another] corr.eth, but the earth abidelh forever." Nor are the natural surroundings of the place wanting in the elements that inspire poetic musings; on either side of the river great boulders rise upon boulders in almost perpendicular columns to apparently inaccessible heights. Beneath this gorge in resistless torrents the Catawba Jlivcr "falls." One stands upon the bank, surveys the surrouudings, listens to the roar of the cataract and feels like pariphrasing Bvron's apostrophe to the ocean: "Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean," etc. iTertr-and there in the hospitable nln/*As amrintr thp. rnr.ks. tall nines and great oaks have grown Tip .And sent out their stately branches over the stunted undegrowth, patiently working out below the problem of "the survival of the fittest in the struggle for existence." Altogether the place is just the one to go to have a picnic. Here we have a combination of the picturesque and the sublime; here we may see_ nature as it was before the day of the builders, and at a time when the foundation of the pyramids had surely not teen laid. The place has a history; it was thought once to locate here the National Military Academy, and prcpa rations were made to do so, but for some reason the project was abandoned and "West Point gained what Rocky Mount lost. The people in this section believe that they have a bonanza in the great water power of the Catawba, and they are probably right. The law of the pressure of population upon the means of subsistence is no respector of per-, sons, and in due time the problem of i uu izmg tnis great natural iorce win be solved. Tliere is power enough here to turn the wheels of all the factories in the Union, and the indications now are that it will not be allowed to slumber much longer. A part of it at least will be utilized. But to return to the picnic, it was as usual a grand success. There were "delegations" from the towns of Chester, Kichburg, Lancaster, Camden, Winnsboro, Blackstock and all the surrounding country. These spent the day climbing over the rocks and enjoying the "falls" in the river and on the rocks. Some "slipped up," some "got left," and others "got mashed," but it will all pan out right in the end. "We -would like to give you a few names in this connection, but as the inter-State commerce law, as interpreted by the railroads, is opposed to all discriminations, we will yield to our law abiding instructors and refrain. bachelor.
