is an old colored man in town who
has been bothering: the housekeepers
ir for several days by begging. He has
P twice been placed in the poor house,
I but refuses the hospitality of that inB
etitution, preferring to gel his living
in the way above-mentioned. His
body is infested with vermin, and we
t caution the public against letting him
come about their premises. If he is
unable to work and give proper care
to Ms person, he should be made to

receive thac attention which he needs.

The Wixnsboro Wagon Manufactory.?"We
call especial attention to
advertisement of Mr. E. T. Matthews,
proprietor of the Winnsboro Wagon
Manufactory, found in another column.
In his establishment will be found
everything usually found in a firstclass
wagon, carriage and buggy manufactory
and repository. Besides he is
prepared to do all kinds of repairs
promptly, neatly and on the most
reasonable terms. 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

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.

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

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(

Suuviyors' Meeting.?According lo j
appointment the Fairfield Division of
the Survivors of the Sixth Regiment,
S. C. 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"?

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.

Death of the Rev. J. C. Clialmers.
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

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

could be made successful.

JiAILJtOADS.
Their Advantage and Disadvantage-The
Building of Factories, Etc.
Messrs. 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,

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.
