and with it some hail and a good deal
of wind. A piece of the tin roof of
the "Winnsboro Hotel was blown ofl",
and a number of limbs blown from the
Hun trees on the side-walks. Corn in some

A Lucky Attorney.?Osmund "W.
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.

Host Pens and Fever.
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'

that he was in a bad condition his
death was unexpected.
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.
Peace to his ashes.

it tabes H. II. P., or HILL'S "flKPATIC

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

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

ton to Columbia for example) and to
aid and encourage hundreds of enterprises
of less importance to the State's
welfare. 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-;

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;

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

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.

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. Light.

obituary"
Died, at her resilience, in Fairfield county,
on the 2~>th May, 1887, Mrs. Susan E.
Morris, relict of the late Isaac Morris.
Tiie deceased was a daughter of Mr. Burr
Harrison, and was born March 22, 1S20,
and was therefore in the sixty-eighth year
of her age. She was married to Isaac
Morris October 12, 18:>7, and had been at

Iiock Creek Baptist Church for about fortyyears.
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.
