Buchanan, Esq., of our town, bas been appointed by the Continental Insurance Company attorney for that corporation in the collection of all its notes in South Carolina. It -will be remem berecl that this company several years ago commenced the system of taking instalment notes in its business. These notes contained the provision that on default of payment of any instalment mentioned in the note, the policy for which the note was given should be considered as null and void until the arrearages should be paid up and the holder had gotten the signature of the company's agent at Atlanta to his revival, and then the policy should be considered as revived. The construction of these stipulations caused a good deal of litigation. * All doubts have, however, been settled by the decision of the Supreme Court in a case that went up from this county, the case of the Continental Insurance Companp vs. Hoffman. Mr. Buchanan | represented the company in that cause j and it is supposed his promotion is due to his success therein. Struck by X.iglitnin:j.

It has been the common opinion for j the last several years, or more, that I hogs and hog pens were one of the most productive causes of typhoid fever. The opinion to that effect has been expressed by many physicians who have Hygiene a study. Yet, with twelve or fifteen cases of fever in town, there are many pig pens which are a stench in the nostrils of persons living the immediate vicinity. In the lower part of town, within a raidus of two hundred yards, there ar a four pig pens and three children sick with fever. We understand that the Town Council has been applied to, but no relief can be afforded becausc the pigs happen to be in a pen of the prescribed dimension. "We also understand that the filthy odor emitted from these pens is so great that persons living in adjoining lots cannot sleep with any degree of comfort or repose. "We desire to call the attention of the Board of Health to this case, so that steps may be at once taken to remove the nuisance. It is far better that all the pigs and hogs in town were banished to II?aiifix. than that some innocent child's life should pay the penalty of a selfish desire to raise a lew hogs for private use or speculation. If there is 110 remedy to be obtained under the town ordinance nor from the local Board of Health, there is a remedy under the common law of the land. This law invests every citizen with the right to abate such nuisance; and if a practical application of the law was made in a few cases, it would not only contribute to the comfort, but greatly to the health and perhaps lives of the citizens of the town. If it is true that the keeping of hogs in town prejudicial to the public health, then common decency and a proper regard for the health and lives of our'neighbors require that the hogs should go. We sinccrely hope that the Board of Health will give the-matter their immediate attention, and take such steps as. will effectually na tne lower part of the town of the nuisance which we have mentioned. If not other means will have to be invoked, for the law of self-defense stands unrepealed by any of the laws enacted for the government of mankind. DEATHS IX TOWS. 3Irs. T. D. Oxner. One of the most sudden deaths which has ever occurred In our town, was that of Mrs. T. D. Oxner, 011 Saturday night Jast. She retired at the usual hour that evening feeling as well as usual. About eleven o'clock she was taken violently ill. A runner was dispatched for a physician but before he arrived she had passed away, only half an hour after her first illness. Her death was caused by paralysis of the heart. She was born iD Lexington county in 1819, and was consequently sixty-; eight years of age. She was the wife of the late Mr. T. D. Oxncr, for a number of years postmaster at this place, and who preceded her to the grave a number of years. Her funeral obsequies were held in the Baptist Church 011 Monday evening at 5 o'clock, the Eev. J. Howard Carpenter officiating, and her remains laid at rest in the Presbyterian church-yard. She leaves a number of relatives, besides a host or friends to mourn lier death. >Ir. Samuel Johnston. Death at all times is sad, but it seems sadder when it strikes a person just entering upon young manhood or womanhood. The aged look for it, they have passed through youth, manhood and old age, and the different changes have prepared them for the last change.- Not so with the young. Tiie subject 01 tms nouce naa just reached a strong manhood, and had entered upon the broad sea of life with high hopes and bright anticipations. Mr- Samuel Johnston was born in Fairhold county, near Kocky Mount, on the 9th day of August, 1859, and was therefore nearly twenty-eight years of age. About ten years ago he camc to our town, and has remained in business here ever since. On the 28th of April last he married Miss' Sallie Gladden, second daughter of "Vf? TyvU.% P- 4Vl?C?

On Saturday night his attendants noticed a change for the worse, but on Sunday morning he was better. About half an hour before his death he began to grow worse, and had spells of vomiting. His father, who was with him, went into his room about one o'clock to give him some medicine. lie raised up in bed and said, "I feel so sick," drank the mcdilav hack on his nillow and was dead in a few scconds without a straggle. His funeral services were held in the Methodist Church on Monday evening at Gi o'clock, the Eev. G. P. "Watson officiating. His remains were afterwards interred in the adjoining churchyard with military honors by the Gordon Light Infantry, of which Com pany lie was a most popular member, lie leaves a father, mother, several brothers and a devoted wife, besides innumerable friends to mourn his death, We join with numerous others in extending our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family in their affliction.

McilASTER, BRICE & KETCHIN, Druggists. SCHOOL PICXTC. 3Tessrs. Editors: The closing of Miss Alice Faucette's school last week, in the neighborhood of Mr. "W. J. Martin and Mr. James Squire Aiken, was followed by a picnic in the grove of my genial friend Mr. Robt L. Martin, in close proximity to one of the finest wells of water known around. In addition to the well water, lemons, ice | and sugar, under the management of lw vc T AT AiL-nn iuessrs. o> xu. u?"'a^i and J. B. Gladnev, soon was made to mingle with each other in a spacious vessel prepared for the occasion, from which in a very short time the best lemonade was being handed around to the maidens, matrons, children and men in abundance. The boys of the brass band of Feasterville also had their thirst qnenched with this cooling v?f*AnKnor" n timfi or UUYCiil^U fcWfci.?0 - - _ ? two. I say a time or two not with any disparagement to the performance on" their instruments, for a?, a newly organized band, they do well, and I grant them my hearty wishes in the accomplishment of their undertaking. The morning hours were passed away by the young in buggies, groups, etc., chatting like so many blaekbirds. I am proud to say that the young men were all attention to the ladies, and a more sober set it has never been my fortune to see at any picnic in mv life. Prohibition must be having its inomAnor fhfl heathens: but XLll MkAAV.'^ ? Messrs. Editors, I think the most sure and certain prohibitory measures can be passed by the fair maidens themselves. I am very glad to see that the young ladies of the cities and towns are mingling more with their genial country~ friends. Winusboro shone again amid the fair on this day, and in addition one of Columbia's fair ones was present, over whom some ofihe boys may quarrel. "Well, I don't blame them, beauty always did have its influence and always will. At 2 o'clock the committee, iu the absence of speech-making, began to spread the table cloths for dinner,,-and in about half an hour the table was ' onwnninor under the weiarht of the good things so plentifully furnished by the "dear people" ou the occasion. Now j I do not mean to "puff" at all, but it can be truthfully said that from that table the most fastideous could have been satisfied with anything they could have called for. In short, the picnic to beat the abundance of the nicely prepared dishes which decked that table has yet to be had.' All seemed to take their leisure in partaking of their dinner, instead of the grab game so generalty witnessed at picnics. The only solution is given in that word "abundance." After dinner we were regaled again by the sweet strains of music from the, band; they played a good many tunes, among them, "Dixie," which made a fellow think of war times, and memory would revert to some situations we were in when last heard on the field of battle, (rather just before or after one). About 4 o'clock the young people had withdrawn from the woods to Mr-IJ. L. Martin's residence, which was only about seventy-five yards distant, where they tipped the light fanfoodV for a while. It orovinsf too warm, the dance was abandoned until night, when it was resumed at the same place. I am told that under the supervision of those matronly ladies, -Mrs. It. L. Martin and Mrs. W. J. Martin, a sumptuous supper was given the party that night. I know it w<;s as I heard, for Fairfield can't beat those two ladies. Ask an elder of Salem if I am not right. I learn that Miss Faucette has given j perfect satisfaction m tne management of ber school, and some of the patrons expressed to me their desire to have her teach for them again. Well, patrons, just try her, that is all I can advise?if some fellow don't steal her this fall. In continuing your children under her supervision, they will be trained morally as well as intellectually. MOKE ANON. "LIGHT" 02V JiAIZnOAXhS. Messrs. Editors: The recent pleas antly written communication of "X. V." tempts me to sav something in reply. I think some of his views are eroneous, but he is more advanced in his ideas than some of his neighbors. He asks: "Does the building- of tew railroads prove an advantage to the agricultural interest of the State?" I answer yes, always, when wisely and fairly mauaged. What more can "X. V." say for his most cherished institutions? lie next asksr^'Do they enhance the value of our poor, worn-1 out lands as some argue?" I answer yes, and challenge him to name a single railroad built since the war in South Carolina or elsewhere, which has not increased the value of real estate -Rtto miloa nf the road at least W1UJ1U Xi. IV/ uiiivw fifty per cent, tipon former values. The influence of long- established railroads can only be approximated by imagining what would fce the condition of the country were these roads obliterated. Next I challenge "X V." to give the name of any new railroad which has existed ten years, being part of a through route, when the increase in real estate within five miles of the road does not exceed the entire 1 cost of building and equipping the road; that is, I challenge him to name any such road which has not built itself and put money in the pockets of the property holders of the townships il rrrKinli it vima Still fhft f.ir.f LLll UUg-U nuivu >? . w>..w. remains tbat such roads would not have been built without the aid of those townships. As to the Spartanburg & Union llailroad, largely built by the farmers along the rou.te, being owned now by Northern capitalists, this and similar cases are often dwelt upon and signify nothing. They only serve to excite prejudice in the minds of unthinking people. If a man builds a mill for the accommodation of the public and his own profit, and manages badly or has bad luck and it is - -' '1 oiid o cfronoror hnvs vfUlU JLUl Vl^Ut) M?UU il M VMJ V and operates the mill, what does "it matter to the people of the neighborhood so the mill continues to furnish good meal and only charges just toll? It was not my intention to reply to "Morris Creek's" article of the Gth, but being on the subject of railroads 1 cannot refrain from asking your readers to take that in connection with his article of 22nd June, and see how cunningly the issue is shifted. In the first article he says: "We have no railroads running through our section and don't want one unless it be built by nrivate capital." This means un equivocally that he does not wish a railroad, for it is palpable to a blind man that a railroad will not be built unless aided by the township through which it is to pass. And if "Morris Creek" is patriotic, it also means that a railroad brings no good, or so little good that the small tax necessary to ensure its construction turns the scale against it. Again he says: "I believe that, fsnrinor f.hfi nermle to build rail roads is contrary? to sound Democratic principle." This means that the noble men who administered the government; of South Carolina from Governor Rutledge to Governor Perryhad no conception of what constitutes true Democracy. For they believed themselves to be guided "byJDemocratic principles, and at the same time they taxed the people to build rail 1 7 i / FR( ?D.

Again "Morris Creek" says: "I believe that railroads benefit the few, but tend to the injury of the many." If this is so then "my voice is for war." Tear up all the railroads, say I, and sow salt on the tracks, and ! let a curse rest on auy man who dares \ to build another. Again he says: "I1 have no idea that railroads ever have ?/wiav/?7 r\Airol. or ever win leiiu mu ?w/?i w/ivi opinent of our country-" * There have been for many years benighted parts of Kentucky, "The dark and bloody i ground,'"' where murderous clans in open defiance of law, religion and the usages of civilized society, wage wars j of extermination against each other, i What moral effect, in the-opinion of! "Morris Creek/7 would bfi exercised I in those secluded regions by theintro- j duction of a few railroads? Some! natives of those delightful sections so hate railroads that the snort of the iron horse is a signal for them to strike tent and seek more obscure wilds, but even the West now ceases to furnish congenial hiding places; for railroads j and moral development are penetrat- j ing its most inaccessible points. Our own Edgefield has for a bun-: dred years had~ an unenviable notorietv. Does "Morris Creek" think that when all the railroads which are proposed to be built through that county shall have been completed, they will not render obselete the old adage, "Another murder in Edgefield." Already in the track of the railroad arc being established religious denominations which heretofore could never get a foothold in that county. In old European cities there ire quarters whose narrow, crooked and! lilthy streets are recking with deprav-; itv and crime. The authorities, over- j running private rights, which they 110 1 longer consider rights when they are j barriers against civilization and'nur-; series of ignorance and vice, tear down i xl n ?rl Anan of vn ?nr]-? < on/1 ! II1U SLLUUllUd aau vpuu cau^ui/ wide streets, and by means of boun- i ties to the owners of property, induce them to erect buildings where health ! and intelligence and virtue may i flourish. Again "Morris Creek" says: "Eail- j road facilities tend to hinder and j check the amount of production, for: if we could not get our meat and bread per railroads we would produce it at home and thus increase the wealth of the State. "We not only pay freight on our meat and bread, but are encouraged to neglect production." Not stopping to- show the fallacy in his idea of "production.-"' I will only say that* if we are induced thus to neglect our interests auu lmpuvejusu uiuseives we are bad boys, and should receive the punishment which in old times was meted out to bad boys. Again he says: "Were it not for the facilities of transportation, where would be the possibility of cornering on the necessaries of life and thus forcing the consumer to buy at prices fixed by monopolies and capitalists?" I think "Morris Creek" is again mis- j taken. If the blame rests elsewhere; n <Vio eViorn racnjlls who do the ! ili.au \Jli liiU . ?. cornering, the mail must have a share,! and the telegraph which permits almost i instantanous contracts to be made in j all parts of the -world. As I undei*stand it, when a corner is made on the necessities of life transportation to a great extent stops, and those things are piled up and held until the time comes to sell. Besides, nearly all the cornering is done by speculating in futures, which often involves the buying and selling of many times more wheat or bacon or cotton than there is in the country. But if facility of trausportion is so -1 T- tt?A fA ! | iinrixlilliy how l1ju?11jxiial uu^ui/ uu tv/ ij\, i for the rocks and gullies rnd mud of Fairfield's public roads. Such is a part of the direful array of evils which I "Morris Creek" marshals iu his article of 22nd June against railroads, and he utters not one word of commendation. Does he not, therefore, seem to be an enemy of railroads? And is it strange to "suppose that when this, almost the greatest of all progressive agencies of modern civilization, is attacked, mat omer mvcnuuus uuu agencies of less importance may also properly be attacked? All the great inventions have had their enemies, and many a factory has been gutted by those who thought the spinning jinny and '!.? ijom would takeaway their occupations. Printing presses have been destroyed, and I venture to believe that the public school system ' has enemies even in the neighborhood of Morris Creek. ~ - ?- > ??ut in paragrapn ?, iu ms auiuv ui July G, "Morris Creek" says: "Pointing out the evils incident to, or in any connected with any enterprise?does not?even imply opposition to such enterprises," letc. Therefore we must infer ihat he is not an enemy of railroads^ but "Light" was not to blame for thinking he was.

Sister if. was one of our noblest women, a mother in Israel. The character of her piety was of that calm, quiet, unwavering ar.d genuine stamp which won the esteem and admiration of all who had the privilsge of her acquaintance. She was devotedly attached to her church, and was a constant attendant until bodily infirmity, of late years, deprived her of this piivilege?a privilege she had so much enjoved in the past. On one occasion, the writer remembers, she spoke of this privation with weeping. Her Christian character had been moulded i;i the school of affliction, in which it had b>en purified, beautifiad and sanctified. .She had wept over the fall of a noble husband and several noble children. She has left three out of seven to share and to rejoice in the rich legacy bequeathed to them of her maternal counsel, her Godly example, and the recollection of her devoted affection for them. She lieved to see each of her bereaved children active members of her own beloved church. May the spirit and devotion of the mother fall upon tiie children ! May the mother's God be their God, and the mother's glorious home their final and eteral abode! c. Baptist Courier please copy. liucklea's Arnica Salve.
