TIIE 21 ID GETS VS. WIXJTSBOItO.
Our sluggers had been training
themselves to meet the Columbia
Midgets on the diamond, notwitnstanding
their defeat in the capital
city several weeks ago, and it was
with high hopes for a victory that
they presented themselves at the
College Park on Thursday afternoon.
The north-bound train brought the
Midgets, of Columbia, and a fine
looking set of young fellows they
were. Promptly at live o'clock the
game was opened witb the sluggers
at the bat. On the first inning- the
locals chalkccl up four runs, and were
never headed during the game.
It was a pretty game aud the playing
of Messrs. McGreggor, Clark and
Hanaliau, of the fidgets, and Ivetchin,
Ilanahan, E. W., and Withers, O., of
the locals, was much complimented.
Mr. David Dwight, of the locals, got
in a home run at an opportune time,
r j i ? *r>
bringing in tbree runs ior ine jduiu
boys.
It was expected that another game
would be played on Friday morning,

A CARD.
Messrs. Editors: You will please
allow me space in your valuable paper
for the purpose of thanking my kind
frieads and neighbors for their helping
hands to me in my distress and need.
Almighty God has seen fit in his
alwise providence to send affliction,
adversity and m'.sfcrtunc uuon us, but
they in their feeling and compassion,
as the good Samaritan of old, did send
their hands, horses and plows to help
me finish my crop. In two instances
the owners of the stock came themselves,
together with two of their hands
and horses apiec^ They did me
valuable service. Xftey were Messrs.
IT. H. Tongue and G. B. Morgan.
Messrs. G. B. Pearson and D. T.
James each let me have a mule one
day. Mr. Frank Andrews let me have
two plows one day. Mr. J. Long one
plow one day, and Mr. A. W. Lada
gave me the use of a horse until I
finished. Mr. T. J. lliohardson also
has kindly helped me. I feel under
many obligations to these gentlemen.
Crops are generally good, but I
think they have been injured by the
aains and* high water. I have never
seen finer corn grow than that of Mr.
D. T. James, on Broad River. Miss
T. B. Macon has the best cotton I have
seen; she is one of our most energetic

entirely by her directions.
Mr." W. J. Dawkins has been in
very bad health for some time. Mr.
T. Blair has a sick child. The health
of the community so far as I know at
this time, with these two exceptions,
is very good. I hope these men will
be blessed both spiritually and temporally.

Dawkins, S. C., August 22nd, 1887.
"MORIZIS CREJSJC' VS. "LIGHT."
Messrs. Editors: I proceed to notice
some other points in the article of
"Light." And while I am willing to
(a onnfpdp to liim all he can Drove, and
while I have 110 desire or intention to
show him the least injustice, yet I
must remind him of two recognized
principles in discussion, one is that a
conclusion not proven by the premises
from which it is supposed to be drawn
can have 110 force as an argument.
The other is that mere assertions,
without proof, cannot effect a discussion
in any way, for thcv may be made
on both sides, leaving the question still
in staluquo.
The first point I shall notice is one
in which "Light's" conclusion is certainly
not proven by the premises,
lie "quotes from "Morris Creek,"
""We have 110 railroads running through
our section, and don't want one unless
it be built by private capital." "Light"
says, "This means unequivocally that
he ("Morris Creek") does not wish a
railroad." It means unequivocally no
such thing. It means that "Morris
Creek" wishes a railroad under a certain
condition. If "Morris Creek"
did not wish a railroad why should he
mention a condition? And why not
simp]}- say we don't want one? But
perhaps one of the greatest curiosities
in "Light's" article is the second
meaning he gives to this sentence; he
says: "If "ilorris Creek" be patriotic
it also means," etc. Now what the
patriotism of "Morris Creek" has tc

YOU can save fifty cents on c

"Winnsboro, I mil pay you for the
do with the meaning of this sentencs
I am at a loss to conceive. According
to "Light" u "Morris Creek" is patri-!
otic, it means one thing, but if he is
not, it means another thing! A construction
of English hitherto unknown j
to philologists.
JThen again he quotes from "Morris I
Creek"I believe that taxing the j
people to build railroads is contrary to !
sound Democratic principle." "Light"!
also tells us what this sentence means. I
tt. irmi.!. tl.* ~ ~
lie says: "jlijis means niut, iijc uuuic j
men who administered the government I
of South Carolina, from Gov. liullcdge i
to Gov. Perry had no conceptiun of i
what constituted true Democracy."!
Here again the premises prove no such j
conclusion, because his conclusion j
would necessarily involve him in a:
glaring contradiction of facts, for if!
these men advocated taxation for j
building railroads, then it follows J
according to "Light" that this one act i
(or mistake) on their part, deprived j
them at once of all knowledge of;
everything which constituted true j
Democracy! "Light," with his good j
sense, would by no means admit such ;
a conclusion; and yet a blind man may
see that it is legitimately drawn from :
his own premises. If his conclusion j
be correct then there is not a man on
the continent, nor ever has been, who j
had any conception of what constituted j
true Democracy! But think of Gov. J
Eutledge taxing the people of South
Carolina to build railroads, when no j
raiiroad had been seen in the State
and probably not thought of for many:
long years after he had gone to his
grave! Democracy in a general sense
is government by the people, and I;
have no doubt, though it cannot be
proven, that if the question of taxa
tion to build railroads was put before j
the people to-day, they would vote it
down. But will "Light" deny that j
the history of the Democratic party!
sustains "the principle involved in
"Morris Creek's" declaration?
As to public schools, bridges, public
roads, etc., etc., they are necessary in
a sense which railroads are not, The
saw mills and grist mills of our country
(built by private capital) are of I
more practical utility to our people i
than all the railroads in it, for perhaps !
not half our population ever ride on !
railroads or receive benefit otherwise, I
but all eat bread and live in houses.
The leading idea in building railroads
is not so much to bless and benefit the
peopie, as it is to make money. It is
not so much a necessity as it is a convenience.
a comfort, a splendid luxury.
And so far as travel is concerned, j
mostly patronized by the yrealthy and
the idle. Farmers, who constitute the
bone and sinew of our State, receive
the least benefit.
If capitalists and others wish to
build railroads, let them do so, and if
our people wish to avail themselves of
any supposed^ or real advantages
afforded by them, they will pay full
fare or freight, w hich they have to do
even when taxed to build it. But
don't tax them for building railaoads

Sickness and Deaths in the Community?
, Crop Prospects?What Was Seen at the
Spartanburg Encamxjnxent.
Messrs. Editors: Think not that a
long delay is the result of forgetfulness,
for I can assure you such is not
the case. Many have been the times
that I have scanned your columns
looking for some new correspondent
from this locality, but, alas! in vain.
It is not from the fact that nothing
new has transpired, for there have
been many changes since I last appeared
in the columns of your valuable
paper.
A few months ago our neighborhoed
was nothing more nor less than a
l - >/? . V _ ^ ~r. 11 ,1 I
Hospital xor mat ien uxuusici ui^tinc,
dysentry, made its appearance in this
section and took up its quarters in
nearly every bouse. It was not the
ordinary spring or summer disease,
for it assumed a very violent form
from its incipiencv, and was very difficult
in its management. The death
rale was very great as a general thinr,
but was not so when cases had medical
attention from ;i.e commencement
of attack. 'I :.o larger number of
deaths occurred in the .families of
those who had come to the conclusion
that doctors were no good, for they
were losing their cases without knowing
that the most of cases lost were
those who were in the arms of death
wnen tney were nrst scun prumadiiuially.
Mauv of our hearts have been
made sad on account of death entering
into onr households, and our country
to-day is a country of mourning-. We
should not murmur, for we are assured
that our Heavenly Father knows best,
and "doeth all things well."
I shall now leave the solemnities
and give you some of the happenings
of a specific nature.
Among the deaths spoken of in our
white families, which have not been
reported in your paper, is the youngaUII/I

There has been one marriage?Miss
Carrie McKinstry and Mr. Eossa Gibson.
The marriage took place at the
residence of Mr. "VV. P. Gibson, owing
to the extreme illness of Mrs. McKinstry.
There was present a large
concourse of friends to render con;
gratulations unto the new couple and
participate in the enjoyment of a fine

Miss Lula Cauthen, of Chester, is
spending sometime with her brother,
Mr. J. L. Cauthen, and friends.
Miss Agnes Melton is visiting friends
in the up-couutry.
Mrs. Langhlin, a former resident of
Winnsboro, has been spending some
time with her daughter, Mrs. J. W.
Ashford.
There has just closed a union meeting
of the Iloreb Presbyterian Church
aifd the Bethel Methodist Church,
conducted by the Revs. Garris, [Melton,
Seville and Lupo, which resulted
in a number of accessions to fhc
churches and a general spirited upbuilding
of the membership. Would
we had more such.
Now for crops. Without bragging
we have one of the best prospects we
have had since 1882. The cotton, as a
general tiling, is very line, ootn in
stalk and fruitage. The only drawback
is on fresh lands where the weed
is too rank and has but a sma!! crop
of fruit for the season. The corn 011
uplands, as a genera! thing, is fair?i
not as good as last season, though the :
shrinkage will be overbalanced by
increased acre age. The corn 011 bottom
lands is good, and has sustained
but little damage on branches and
creeks. Those planting 011 the rivers
are pretty heavy losers, which is a
great misfortune', for their prospects
were line. Xiiere Das oeen too mucn ;
rain for the past few weeks for cotton, j
but we are blessed with sunshine and1
weather at this writing. We are in '
hopes we will mAe the best crop that j
*-*e have made in a number of years,!
and" will get big money for it, for we
need it, and bad, too.
Well, Messrs. Editors, while I am
writing I will try and give you some
things of what i saw while in attendance
on the Encampment at Spartanburg.
I reached there on Tuesday
night after some little delay in getting
rid of a laud and rock slide in a deep
cut on the S. & U. li. R., and while i
our train was at a stand still the rain
was pouring down in torrents, and it
seemed that there w-s a stream pour
ing down over the top of the cnt
bounding and rebounding against its
cragy walls. After such a rain I was
not surprised that Bror.d River had
took a notion to go out corn gathering,
which she did very successfully, judging
from the looks of things a few
days after.
On arriving in the city, we found
the hotels all crowded to overflowing,
and had to procure board in a private
house, which we found to be" a very
pleasant place, and on the principal
street leading to the Encampment.
After a night's rest we proceeded to
seek the tented field, which we did by
froiria nnf nn thp. train. The oronnds
were about two miles from town oil
the Air Line Railroad, near Asheville
Junction. The grounds were tastefully
laid oil" in streets, a:id contained
quite a number of buildings, among
which the most practicable and first
near the depot was the istate exhibit,
with the addition of a very good supply
of this year's crop in the grain
line, also some very fine specimens of
cotton and cork "stalks, and watermelons
which were grown at Williston.
This exhibit attracted great attention,
as it was something new to
to our up-country cousins. _ The [next
in the arraignment was a JNorth Carolina
exhibit, consisting of rugs, carpeting
of various hues, also mattresses,
which were made of the old field pine
needles. They also had some fine
samples of the oil; sc the short leaf
pine has a commercial value. The
straw was prepared iu such a way as
to make it feel as soft as wool. The
secretary's office came next; then a
fertilizer company with a fine display
of their goods; next a grocery store,
in full trim, and close by its side the
eating-houso, which was well furnished
with the requirements of the
inner man. This house did a good
business. In tbe centre of the square
was the tabernacle?which was a
building of two stories?size of house
100x80 lect. The lirst iioor was usea
for holding the meetings, whose seating
capacity was three thousand.
The stage was beautifully festooned
and decorated. The upper story was
used as an art gallery, which was
pretty well filled with paintings and
fancy work, which display reminded
one of the State Fair. Among the
exhibits in this gallery was one of the
inventive genius of one of Fairfield's
sons?a garden or field hoe. Glenn
Springs was dispensing her sparkling
beverage to the thirsty many who surrounded
her pavilion. There were
Kii/vA-lAf vao nOl'C T*> 1A TV 5
j iLl&VJ iivuucj ?s?w ?? w
of various styles and sizes, steam engines,
dry goods stores, photograph
gallery and'numerous oilier thing's of
interests. The stock was well represented
by several herds of thoroughbreds,
also some fine horses, sheep,
goats, chickens, etc.
Another feature of the Encampment
i was the field of Mars, with her hunj
drcd tents and lonely sentinels walkI
ing their beats, which reminded one
I nf (U timnc \Trtcf r>r?nsr??cnnns
VI C1IV* ViUVU UUIWI ^'AVWW
of all were the people and lire ones at
that, and so many pretty ladies. There
were quite a number of families
camping on the grounds who had
comjj lor miles; some camping in
farm cabins, others in their wagons
and such temporary structures as they
could devise. Those living in the
surrounding country came pouring in
in wagons, buggies, etc., in large
number. It reminded one of the
Confederate days when the transportation
trains were pouring in and
through a town; the difference being
the absence of old ragged Confed?
with their haggard expressions and
; starved appearances. This train bore
as freight the old man and woinau, the
beautiful maiden and son, who seemec
to have just come fresh from the
artist's brush, if we take rosy cheek;
; and healthy looks for. our guide. 1
do not mean to say that all of the
! artistic work was perfect, for occa
' sionally you would notice a poor job
I If there was nothing inore oil exhibi
tion than tbis collection of farmers
and their families it would have beei
a succcss, for much valuable informa
' tion can be derived from Drain fric
' tion and interchange of views 01
I varied topics.
