A Cutting Affray. ? A serious I cutting affray occurred at Woodward's j quarry on Friday night last between ! "William Paul and William Rogers, in j which the latter was severely cut a j number of time?. A short time before the difficulty occurred Paul borrowed I Iiogers's pistol, and when he hadj secured this, he, without any warning, j it seems, began to attach Kogers with j a knife.

Paul has left for parts ui> uuknowu, although diligent search ha? been made to find out his whereabouts. It is probable that he will soon be | captured. Qua Streets.?Our attention has 1 been culled several times recently to the condition of our streets, and of I \ course the parties desired that Ave call the attention of the proper authorities i io ihc fact, with a view of getting- them J to do something in the premises. The ! subject of criticism is the condition of J our streets in consequence of the j growing weeds and grass, which act i as regular traps to catch all the trash i and hold It until it decays and passes j away. This, to say the least, is not ; wholesome, and while it may not cause any sickness, still our streeis would present a nicer appearance in every respect if the Council would spend a fe*v dollars in clearing up the side-walks and ditches. Personal.?We received a pleasant call from Mr. S. G. Wilson, a former citizen of Winnsboro this week. He removed to Mississippi in 1870, where he has resided since. lie still has a love for the Palmetto State, arid would like to return if he could sell his property in that State to advantage. Mr. Dnbose Egleston, our efficient postmaster, is olT on a three weeks vacation in Tennessee. Mr. W. 1). Gaillard takes his place in the postoffice until he returns. Mr. E. M. Wilson has again returned to his post with. Messrs. J. M. Beaty & Bio. at the corner, after a few weeks rest with friends and relatives in Sumter county. Mr. W. A. Beaty and Mrs. Walker have gone to the Springs of North Carolina for a lew weeks rest and recreation. Mr. T.

Tiie lioad Law.?JSrow is the usual time for proper and thorough repair of the highways 01 tne county. xnc question has been often asUed, who arc liable to^road duty, etc.? For the information of all interested we state that the age of liability to road duty is between from sixteen to fifty years. All able-bodied males between the ages above given are liable to road duty, except tcachcrs and students of schools and colleges, and ministers of me gospci who are serving way L igations as pastors. (Acts, of 1SS5, page 22$). Prior to the passage of the last Act of Assembly upon the subject, Decomoer 24, 1-S35, members of State and County Board of Examiners and School Trustees, board of assessors, millers engaged in grist or merchant mills, guard keepers and employees and officers of lunatic asylum and the warncr for five days were also exempt. It will be observed that under the law as It now is, not even tne warncr is exempt from road duty. This note of the status of the road law is published at the request of Messrs. Murray, Watt and others, of the Iloreb section, and we hope it may make the matter clear. m * 9 Fruits of Pluck.?A friend has shown us a copy of the Texas Commercial Reporter, an admirable mercantile. journal published at Fort "Worth Texas. The editor of that wide-awake paper says of our former fnwnsman Mr. G. B.

Pursuant to appointment the Clackstock Base Ball Club came clown on Tuesday evening's train to cross bats j with the Boro boys. It was agreed to play two games, one on Tuesday evening', the other 011 Wednesday morning. Shortly after the two clubs had arrived on the grounds on Tuesday evening one of the heaviest showers of the season set in and lasted for an hour or more. It was then agreed that the game be played 011 the following morning. Promptly at the apliAin. fVin rrnmn [/UiUlCU 11V/U* lUV, W?4J<?*V4>VW^ I with the Boro boys at the bat. Up to the third inning our boys had the best of it, but they began from that time to weaken and played very little ball afterwards. The contrary was true of the visiting club.

Our citizens were aroused from their slumbers on Wednesday morning about haif-past one o'clock by the re- j tn?u TKp firo I pCilll'U lU|'d U1 LIIV- 111 W UUii. companies, both white and colcred, responded promptly to thecal), and it was soon learned that the residence of Mr. R. E. Eilisou, a large frame building, in'the northwestern scction of our town was in flames. The fire had made too much headway before it was discovered for the firemen to accom- j plish anything but confine the fire to this bulling. A light treeze was blowing from the southwest, and fortunately there were no other houses near enough for the flames to do damage. The dwelling of Mr. Floyd Propst, just across the street, was considerably scorched, but outside of this the fire did no other damage. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary orgin. Mr. Ellison and family were sleeping in one of the rear rooms, while a number of his children were sleeping in another room iust across the passage ard also in the rear of the house. Ills first knowledge of the fim was .1 kind of cracking noise, which he heard in the front of the house, lie immediately got up, and upon opening his room door found the hall-wav filled with smoke. He aroused his family and proceeded to get his children out of the burning building. When this was accomplished it was too late to save anything else, not even a change of clothing. Mr. Ellison himself did riot get entirely dressed before he had to leave the building. The fire originated in one of the * ? - - - front basement rooms wncre ho lire was ever kept, as it was used as a milk room and therefore must have been set by some one. An attempt was made in just the same place a little less than a year ago, but by the prompt response of the fireman the flames were extinguished before any damage was done. Ilis dwelling was insured in the Phoenix Company for $1,800, but he had no insurance upon his furniture, Ilis whole loss will foot up about S3,000, which makes him a clear loser of $1,400. Let no pains be spared to ferret out the crime and bring the guilty party to justice. There * can be no blacker crime man tue incendiary torch, and it has got to be a too common thing here of late for the good of the community. Mr. Ellison does business in Chester and is absent from home a gre.:t deal, and informs ns that he does not doubt but that some of his children would have been burned alive if he had not happened to be at home. He and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their loss. EDITORS, ItOAD5 AXD CROPS. J.lessrs. Editors: I saw an article recently in the "Weekly News from an exchange stating, "a kind ; word was never given an editor." I am scarcely willing to admit this, for we all know there is no occupation moi*e confining, irksome and difficult than that of an editor, and 110 occupation more valuable in the land for diffusion of intelli? ? mu- ~W7 'vrtUU* "VTr>^*rr V16C r\r\xcr gence. j.ne ?r cctiiv u<u *4vy?? for some time beeu allowing a religious controversy to go on in its columns, in which the writer has largely partaken, though of different persuasion from the editor, without exclusion from its columns, lie displayed admirable moral courage, is worthy of his post. Again, from the short time I have read the Fairfield News axd 1Ierali>, I must say that I have been struck with the fairness of this paper. Its editors have given all parties fair play, arc entitled to the higest enconiums of praise, and I am often surprised at their patience and forbearance. I am not flattering; I have no personal end to serve; I am a true friend to honorable editors, and 110 class of men deserve more esteem. Leaving this part of the subject and to be no more abrupt than possible, i a remark about the se^ons may not be uninteresting. For some time past the rains have fallen iieavy ana continuous ; our lands are very wet f.nd crops good. Mr. Benjamin James has an ususually fine corn crop, cotton also very fair. Mr. John F. Simons has perhaps an up-land field of corn surpassing anything: of the kind in all this section, perhaps in the county, his cotton averaging equal to any crop in this section. Capt. T. D. Feaster, our model farmer, has some fine bottom com, bat tells me it is sunering from too ranch rain. I am told some of his colored tenants have veryfine corn. Prospects brighter. * Now for our roads. The county has Commissioners for the purpose of looking after them. Is it done? I can only speak from what I have seen. Running by me, is one in dreadful condition. I have been here nearly two years, and it has been worked once." Mr. i5enjamm james appointed j.yli\ joiih Feaster overseer when I came here. He did not work it. Mr. James then appoi-nted Mr. John F. Simons and he worked it. The Commissioners removed him and the road has not been worked since, and although the weather has been in a very favorable condition for working it) it is still lying in a deplorable condition. Do t'be Commissioners intend to abandon it, or are all the roads left in the same condition? s. yi. s. Buckhead, S. C. AXyUAL ItJEUXIOX.

The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed. On motion of Mr. ]l. E. Ellison, S. P. Hamilton, of Chester, was invited to a scat 011 the floor of the Association. On motion of Mr. W. A. Sanders, Art. Y. of the Constitution was so amended as to provide for three vice-presidents instead of nine as now i required.

That the .Executive committee be charged with the power of appointing committees to raise neces* sary funds in the counties of Chester and Fairfield, for the purpose of paying any balance due for publication of addresses or other records of the Association, which they deem necessary to publish. Mr. Sanders extended to the Association an inviiation to hold, its next annual meeting in Chester, and on motion, the invitation was accepted. Gen.

Hion, deceased: Resolved, That in the death of Col. James H. Iliou, our Association has sustained irreparable loss. Resolved, That a page in our record book be inscribed to his memory. These resolutions were accompanied with the following remarks by Gen. TJ^offrtn or>r? "\fr "YV\ A. c^.v* ... Gen. Bratton said: It is but the simple truth to say that we have lost the most remarkable and the most distinguished member of our association. Ilis distinction is none the less, bnt rather greater, from the fact that it is due not to the glitter and tinsel of public office, but to public services rendered by a private citizen. He was my personal friend. I knew him well, too well to attempt a eulogy of him. That task requires a more eloquent tongue. Nor will I attempt even a full account of his career, but will use my last privilege on this occasion, to trace it sufficiently to show something of its character. I first met him in college. He came there only half prepared for the class for which he applied and would have been rejected under tbc rules, but consideration for him as a benificiary of one of the Societies gained his admitfnnoA on condition that he could and would catch up on the branches in which he was deficient. In less than one year he had gained the front rank among the students, not only of his class but of the college, and bore away from that institution the first honor in one of the largest and highest classes that ever passed through it. He came from college to Winnsboro and taught as an assistant here at Mount Zion, while he prepared himself for his chosen profession, the Law, and no corr?A fimA O I uiuu ever uiauc iu wv> cuujv v. greater impression as a teacher. The secession ot the State found him earnestly pursuing these quiet and peaceful duties. A call for troops was made and under it, among others, the Sixth Regiment was organized. Recall for a moment my comrades, the sentiments and circumstances of that period. A band of patriots wc were, who in the earnestness of our dev-tion, realize the need of a leader who was capable of making the most of the splendid material furnished, and were governed by this idea in our selection of him. On whom was this position nfnrf?r?. summoned as it were, bv the voice of patriotism? The recipient of this noble compliment was a quiet, rather taciturn teacher who had come to us a few years before seeking employment to earn his living and cast his lot among us, a lone stranger who pursued his duty as he found it and never turned from its path, to the right or left to count the favor of any mnn_ Rfvil tribute. t>ure and true to the naked strength and ^merit of the man. It is unhappily true that expectations, so far as our Eegiment was concerned, were never realized. "With our experience we can look back and readily see that the circumstances of our entrance into activc service rendered their consummation impracticable. But the opinion expressed bv that choice was fully vindicated by his career in another command to which he was assigned. His services how-1 ever were not confined tu the limits of his command, although he clung to it refusing promotion more than once offered. He was a prominent figure and an influence in the brigade, the division and the army in which he served, and came out of the war, per A1 AND ALL of my 7 c.

During the trying period of destruction and reconstruction, his skill and learning, his cool, steady nerve and sound discretion, were* ever at the service of his oppressed countrymen, and of inestimable value to hundreds of them. It was during this period, ! perhaps, that his prominence and lcadj insr position in this community was i firialy and permanently fixed; ' With his strong will, self-reliance and high courage, and withal full of learning, he was wel1 equipped for this field of| chaos and distinction, and jin the ab-' sence of any organization among us' whatever, Jie brought them to boar; with great effect and benefit to his! people.

Cut when1 we organized for our struggle to throw ; off the rule of the alien, for our grand ! struggle for home rule, he lost nothing j but gaiued in prominence. This self-; willed man who had been governed i entirely in rendering.public service, by his own discretion, while he enter-; tained views and urged them, literally j enlisted as a private soldier of the i cause, submitted to the discipline, and ! yielded obedience to the authority of j the organization, lie responded with | nwimntnpss of a SOldiei . to eVCl'V ! ^IViU^wuvvv - - ? , call for service made on hiin. Having [ 110 personal ends but only the success J of the cause in view lie sought 110 i special plan or line of service, but' went hither or thither with prompt-! ness and alacrity whenever called i on by the constituted authorities. Of* course he was a prominent figure in | that notable campaign.

I take special pleasure in calling your attention to this, as it seems not to be generally kuown, or at any rate, due credit has never been given to these gentlemen for this distinguished public service. ~ And lastly, my comrades, as a member of this association he was ever earnest and active in all that concerned its welfare, and tne promonon 01 its objects and purposes. Although I have merely touched points at intervals in his life, they are sufficient to indicate the character of his most remarkable and distinguished career to show that he carved it out for himself by the power of his towering intellect and strength of character. His life, short as it was, extended through the most eventful period of South Carolina's History. In every phase of it he was, not much a prominent figure but a potent influence. From his habit of suppression of his feelings and emotions, which I think i-,?e fooi> fhpv wnnhl resuucu iium xix^ iv/ui iut?u gain the mastery over him, his bearing and demeanor* rather repelled. He never appealed to the sympathies of men or for their sympathy. lie assailed their reason and appealed to their judgment. Many who admired his intellect, regarded him as cold and heartless, but the truth is that his extraordinary mental faculties were stayed and braced by a great heart, sound and true to the core. True to his friends, to his people individually and collectively, to his country?a heart that was never allowed fuli "play except in deeds of patriotism, generosity and charity. Ilis eccentricities which were many and striking, and to the thoughtless observer, perhaps, screened from view the real man, have been happily likened to the hieroglyphics on aiv Egyptian monolith mere scratches or the surface of the solid, majestic column. In the fulness of its strength that column has fallen, and our comrade, in the ripncss of his powers, has gone to the camp on the other side to take his place in the front rank of our noble band over there. Mr. Sanders, in seconding the resolutions, said: The difference in the age of Col. Jas. H. Rioii sviid myself as well as other circ.iiiiotanccs well known to this Association, did not permit my personal acquaintance until 1S73, when an intimate, personal and social relationship, as well as that of a professional nature, sprung up between us. There is a maxim deep rooted into the hearts and <x>nscienc& of meu, which has existed long before our Saviour uttered the divine charities on the mountains; yes, before the foun-] rif?rs nf the Academv tansrht the Athc-1 nians the precepts of noble living; before Confucious, far remote in the denser obscurities of antiquity, illustrated the civilization of his time by the doctrine of peace on earth and good will to all men; of the dead speak nothing but good.

All of my most intimate friends and relatives who wcr^ in the Old Sixth, spoke of him in the most highest terms as a scholar, gentleman, commander and a soldier. The Sixth Regiment was organized with five companies from Fairfield and five from Chester, and it is now a source of regret that any reorganization was necessary. Yet we all agree that the action of Col. liion reflected no discredit upon him as a patriot, a soldier and a commander or otherwise. He did not retire to .private life or seek . i-n/M-n stnirvfoWnKlo and aafpr nn?i- ! OVUiV, iiiVl W WUJ Wi VMV4V VM*V* J^WW tion, but with a honest devotion to the justice of his country's cause as he, with the pulse of patriotism throb-! bing in every vein, organized the] Seventh Battalion which he com-! manded, and which reflected credit! upon himself, his " command" and 'his ; country. When he found that the Confederacy j was no more he returned to the prac-! tice ot his profession, which he fol-j lowed honorably, faithfully - and j earnestly until at the time when hope: was highest. When least expected, j the monster Death with lightning rapidity descended . and struck his i friends and familv with awe?by re-. moving him in the meridian of his j usefulness. '"Tis t::e twiak of ail eye.

Ition took great interest in the welfare of our assoskytfon. It was his desire to perpetuate its noble object and to make as much history for the old command from Sumter 'to Appomattox as the memory of the Survivors would permit.

Eion, so far as I know, never j sought a public office in civil life, i He was devoted to his profession. In 1 private life he was an exemplary man. i He enjoyed life. While he lived a | laborious life, yet he was a man of fine j social powers and delighted iu making j his-friends comfortable. It was in the sacred precepts of the home circle that his social natnre shone with the pure luster. At his home there was a genial magnetism in his presence, a certain heartiness in his greeting, a frankness and openness of manner that would attract men, especially those accustomed to seeing him when in the discharge of his professional duties. It was then that he gave attention to the best thoughts of his best soul, and gave full play to the kindly emotions of the heart. In his home love and happiness were enthroned, he found both an incentive to his ambition and rest from his arduous professional duties. But the seal of death has been placed upon his life before it had attained the ripeness of age. The reed has been broken by an" untimely wind. A useful man, "an active and vigilant man, In the public affairs of his town, county and State, an ornament to society and the church was released from the sin and turmoil of life to the realms above.
