His "Perfect." road eart is pionounced the most comfortable vehicle of the sort ever offered on the market. Oar citizens ^will find it to their interest to confer with him when they need anything in that line. Good ox Chester.?"We have just learned a "good one" on a colored citizen of Chester, which occurred at the time of the recent meeting of the stockholders of the Chester & Lenoir Railroad. It seems that a certain colored gentleman had made all arrangements for attending the meeting, when he was questioned by his employers as to where he was going. His reply was that he was going to attend the stockholders meeting. When questioner! as thft amonnt of his stock, he replied that he owned a coic and yearling. Of course he found it impossible to have a voice in the meeting. Our quill drivers of that town should prevail on the aforesaid gentleman to subscribe. Supreme Court Decision. ? The Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the case of Williford vs. Gadsden. The judgment below is modified. This was an appeal upon the question of costs. The defendant Gadsden offered to allow jungment for a greater amount | than was finally recovered, which the I nlaintiff refused; ana the Clerk of the j Court, in fixing the costs, allowed the plaintiff costs in the first suit and the defendant costs in the last suit. The Circuit Court confirmed this, whereupon an appeal was taken. The Sui preme Court dccides that the appellant, Gadsden, is entitled to all costs, I after having offered to allow jndgI ment O. W. Buchanan, Esq., repre - * " >r *\r* sented tue appellant, ana jklcssis. lutDonalds & Douglass the respondent The "Cotton Plant."?The July number of the Cotton Plant lias just been received and is more than usually attractive. In addition to a large amount of seasonable matter by the editor, it contains a fine likeness of the late Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken with an admirable sketch of his life, and a mass of other matter covering a variety of subjects of interest to the farmers. The Grange, the farm, the household, the poultry yard, and other deparments are well filled, while in the farm and industrial notes are brought together various matters touching agricultural and industrial progress in South Carolina, with an occasional pertinent comment by the editor. The ; Cotton Plant is printed at Greenville at the low price of sixty cents a year. i tw-tt wvct fvvai/e college.?we VA> '1 I call the attention of our readers to the i advertisement of the Due West Female ! : College found in another column, j This well-known institution will enter 1 upcn the twenty-seventh year of its 1 existence in October next. The regular fall session will begin on the first Monday in, October. The faculty is composed of some of the best teachers North and South, and the course is fhnrrtncrh and standard hiffh. The ex penses are as low as any institution of the kind in the Southern States, while the surroundings are pleasant and home-like. At the recent commencement thirty-seven young ladies were graduated from the college. For full particulars and catalogue apply to the principals.

The Glorious Fourth.?One would Jiora tnr?\c-n hv fhe armearance UOIUIJ JUUT V auv i) m ~j ?4TiT of our streets on Monday morning last, that it was in anyway an unusual day, or was the anniversary of the day of days to all Americans. However, about noon the drum of the Hook and Ladder Fire Company was heard, ej-.rn.tiTT offpr-TPivrds thfiv naraded auu 0uvi (ij v*?w? j , through the principal streets of our town, the only Company which in anyway celebrated the day. Two games of base ball were played by colored clubs, one in the morning the other in the afternoon, in both of which the Winnsboro clubs were victorious. Later in the day some of our colored population began to show signs of having indulged too freely in "old I red eye," and in one instance a party's head came in contact with a chair, but of course there was no serious damage done except to the chair. At night we learn that a number ofiWife beaters under the influence of whiskey, got in some good work on their better halfs. Drowned.?Mr. Tillman Dickson, a " " ^ resident 01 tne noriueiisi/em stgnuu w this county, was drowned in GIadden?s mill pond, on Big Rocky Creek, on Monday, the 4th inst. In company with several of his neighbors he was seining the pond, when he was taken with cramp, and stopped on a sand 1 bed to get relief, while the other geni tlemen continued seining down the ; stream. When they had gone some distance from him, he attempted to ' reach them by swimming throngh the deepest part of the pond, when he was seen to turn on his back and immediately sank. There was no one near enough to him to render him any 1 assistance. Though the other fishermen hurried to the scene as quickly as * possible, it was too late to save him, * as he never rose from the time he was * seen to go down. The [party at ouc( began to dive for the body, and aftci several attempts succeeded in raising it, but life was extinct. The deceasec ^ was a gallant Confederate soldier, auc - served throughout the war.

V., mot in the town hall on Monday last, President Woodward in the chair. On motion of E. E. Ellison a resolution was adopted inviting the Chester Division of the Association to hold their next reunion of the Regiment in Winnsboro on the 4th of August. On motion of J. W. McUreight the corresponding secretary was instructed to communicath with Capt. S. B. Clowncy, and request him to furnish , the Association with the diaries kept I by himself and Lieutenant Milling, and also to invite him to be prosent at the iiexi reuuion ot the Regiment. Gen. Bratton suggested that an in vitation oe sent 10 iuajor oimpson, ui Santa Barbara, to attend the reunion. Gen. Brat ton was instructed to communicate with Mr. Simpson and extend the invitation. After some other routine business the Association adjourned to meet in the town hall on October 11, next. Cotton Factory.?The Charlotte Chronicle, in speaking of the cotton factory at Fort Mill, says: Several of the leading citizens of Fort Mill, S. C., conceived the idea about six months since, of establishing a cotton factory at that place for the manufacture of cotton plaids, and -?-~a1? < a rwifK iKof nnH quieuy went IV wuitt. nnu >uau i/uu view.* Success has crowned their efforts. The company organized about the first of May, with a capital stock of $G0,000, under the name of the "Fort Mill Manufacturing Company." The factory will be equipped with 100 looms and 2,000 spinples. The contracts for the factory building, which is to be brick 300x50 feet, one story, and the -operators' cottages, neat frame buildings three and four rooms each, twenty-one in number, have been let. The work is progress"? ' * fUof Hig anci 1C is conuueuuy mai, Lhe mills will be in fall operation by the first of November next." Andyetwiunsborojwitbapopnlation of abont three times that of Fort Mill, has not moved a peg in this direction. Besides, there is another factory jnst seven miles from Fort Mill?Rock Hill?which is paying a handsome dividend. Will our people never wake up trom their long sleep, and make a move in tliis direction ana thereby build up the business of the town? A factory here would pay in more than one respect, and it is time our citizens were becoming cognizant of this fact, and they should take the proper steps to perfect its establishment. Let a meeting of the citizens be called and the ball put in motion. Sabbath-School Convention. The committee appointed by Bethel Presbytery to plan for a Presbyterial Sunday-Scnool Convention this summer have adopted thelollowingreport: The Convention will meet at Llackstock, S. C. July 27-20.

On Thursday morning: at balf-past six o'clock, surrounded by his family, the subject of this notice passed peacefully away from time to eternity, in the 77th year of his age. He had been a constant sufferer tor many years past, but it was only within the past few months that it became evident that his clays were drawing rapiuiy 10 a. close. For a month past he had been confined entirely to his bed with a complication of diseases, which his physicians could only relieve temporarily, and he himself knew that it was only a short time until he would be called away. He bore his intense : sufferings with remarkable fortitude, i and expressed his willingness to go i when the Giver of all life called him. i The Rev. J. C. Chalmers was born in Newberry county, on the 2Gth of : April, 1811. After he had reached his - majority he entered the Georgia Uni versity at Athens, and was graduated ; with the class of 1836. Having pre, viously selected his life work, he en rrnniefrv and was licensed in 5 igiVU &UA4.4VMJ - i 1S38. In 1839 he was called to Gener rastee A. E. P. Church, in Anderson ; county, which church he faithfully 1 served as pastor until 1S5S, with the I exception of the years 1844 and 1854, s when iie laooreu as au evaugctua iu 5 Florida, and as agent for the endowr ment fond of Erskine College respectively. He was then sent by the A. Ii. P. Synod of the South, to suppl\ the church in Nashville, Tenn. . In December, 1858, he was called tc Steele Creek Church, in Mecklenburg ommtv "V C. whovp lahnrfifl nntil his health failed in 1881. Ilis son, the Ilev. J. T. Chalmers, was the year after called t<> Bethel Church, in our town, and he and his wife removed to*"\Yinnsboro in 1SS3.. where he has since resided. lie was j with one exception the oldest member! of the A. R. P. Synod. He 3id not j give up his labors entirely tfter his removal to "Winnsboro, but s upplied different churches in this and adjoining counties as often as he was able. He leaves a wife, son and an adopted son and their families, besides a host of friends throughout the country to mourn his ueatn. i The funeral services were held at the A. K. F. Church on Fricay eve- j ning, the Rev. Chas. E. McDonald j officiating, assisted by the Iter. J. A. "White, and hi<- remains interrei I in the, adjoining churchyard. His long and useful life was spent in the cause of his Master and no one loved his work more. He will not only be missed by his own fireside and friends in the community, but by the entire church. His works will live after him, for they have crccted a monument to his memory wh.ch the j limn skon TiAirni* diuriiid vx oxuit v/?ii iivi vi uwmvv i THE JOItXJLZ, IXSTITUTjI. The County Normal Institute opened with flattering prospects of success on Monday. There were in all twentyseven teachers present and oth ;rs arrived on the afternoon trains. Although the attendance was laigefor the opening day there would hav:j been more had it not been for the thr iateuing aspect of the weather in the tnornin?r?rain in the country deterring some from coming who had signified their intention to do so. The Institute will continue through Friday of this week. Dr. Boyd was quite unfortunate in not being able to obtain the presence of prominent educators from abroad. Several promised to come, but disappointed him at the last moment. Prof. It. Means Davis is, however, expected some time during the meeting, although this is by no means cerlai i. Monday was the opening da}' and nothing was done beyond organization and assignment of attendants tc their boarding places. The Rev. G. P. "Watson opened with npftvpi-. and Dr. Bovd made the open l # ? ing address of welcome, speaking of the great responsibility of teachers in their profession. lie formally turned over the JCustitiite to the Principal, Prof. Witherow, who made a i hort address, eiving the teachers six s hort' rules f?r guidance whereby the meeting could be made successful.

IjdUOi'S: mure seem.. iu be considerable discussion thro igh the columns of your paper concerr ing railroads, manufacturing industries, etc., I concluded I would express a few ideas, which no doubt wi!1 be regarded erroneous by the experienced and wide-awake business men of today. The most important questions arc: Does the building of new raiiroids prove an advantage to the agricultural interest of the Stale? Do they jnhance the value of our poor, wornout lands, as some argue? Do they cause a production of breadstuffs requisite for home consumption? Do they-inoMa the farmer t? oav his indebted ness and conduct his farm on a cash system? Why, no; the idea is ridiculous in the extreme. I will admit that railroads are an advantage in a few respects, but a serious disadvantage in many. Let us meditate for a moment and see if we cannot discover a few facts that stand out most vividly before us. All men with reasoning facult es will admit that the finance of the world is based on agriculture. Itf ilroads are directly and indirectly the prime cause of retrogression in agricultural industry, from the simple f:.ct that as a source ot convenience tae agriculturist fails to produce his acti al necessaries, it being so much mere easy to raise cotton and ship to marl et and" purchase his supplies than to raise them at home, consequently he pays - A f r\ rr/}+ irr-nnt Sevcuiy-uve ueuio uu. ku gw ?. t> five cents worth of convenience. There is no donbt that railroads open np new territories and bring about new industries, which is beneficial in a financial point of view, bat the qnestion is, who derives the prof ts accruing therefrom? Is it not tie parties who own and control said road and capitalists who possess th it excruciating desire to add more !o * "? a.-J -vr.-v i their extensive oaiiK accouuibi x\ ji the laboring class of people, by any means. Understand that I am writii g from an agricultural standpoint. I say that railroads arc onlo a conver ience to the farmer for which he pays very dear. "When we did not hare railroads the farmers hauled their cotton in wagons and purchased their luxuries (they did not have to bt y their necessaries for they raised the:i at home), which they used in a le >s degree than at the present day; hence you see that there was more prosperiiy then than now. ? ? tin "We will illustrate a case- vvuti the building of the Spartanburg Union Railroad was agitated, tie farmers living along Broad River toct a large amount of stock with the ex pectation of deriving a share of tl < profits thereof, but what was the rc suit? The road became bankrupt ani was sold at a mere song in comparisc: to the r.mount of cost of constructor and their bonds and script which the; received was considered totally worth less. Who owns the road to-day, an: who derives the profits thereof? Tfci answer is the old, old story?u3Tortl, , ern capitalists."

Fifty dollars' Still a few Ladies' nice Str.?w Hi Positively no good-5 will "be cliarg j the horuy-bandcd soil; of toil? Let I this question be promptly and satisfactorily answered. As to the building I of cotton factories I will say that it is j I the most important topic of the day.'; Th'e prosperity of a State depends | largely upon the manufacturing of its own- products. If we manufacture our cotton within our own borders we will derive all the profits connected thereto. The question is to keep our currency at home, and until this is \ done we will never be a prosperous 1 people. Let us be producers, not con- ; jsumers; sellers, not buyers; then i? prosperity vrillf dawn upon us. Here ;' is whex*c the great evil lies. I have just stated the only remedy. For in- j. stance, if South Carolina would manu- j, facture her cotton, raise what corn, j bacon and flour she consumes, she | would become a nation within herself, i ; I hope that at some not far distant day j i Fairfield will rank sccond to none for j. ! her wealth, pride and industry, and ' that historic old Wicnsboro will be j her manufacturing: city. x. v.
