Jordan, a sample of Allan's Long Lint Cotton, grown by him on a small lot on his premises. We made a comparison of it -with the ordinary staple, and found the lint at least twice as long, mnch liner, and having a kind of silky ap pcarance. This cotton sold last year for about twelve and a half cents per pound, when the ordinary staple was selling at about nine cents. The Captain has an acre and a half planted, which he is confident will yield him two good bales. Death.?On , Saturday morning George Thompson, son of the late 0. JR. Thompson, died at the residence of Mr. G. H. ilcMaster after a painful illness of a few days. He was taken sick on Tuesday afternoon and became unconscious the next day, after which he never rallied. The immediate causc of his death was conjestion. Ris funeral obsequies were held $t Scion Presbyterian Church on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. D. E. Jordan, D. D., officiating, after which the remains were interred in the adjoining church .3 tt~ r varu. jllu was 111 ui? wuhbcuiu year of his age and was a bright, promising lad. Peace to his ashes. Convicted of Perjury. ? arch Jones, colored, was last week convicted of perjury in the United States Court at Greenville. It will be remembered that he was one of the prosecutors in the case of Kick Peay, another colored man from near Monticello, who was charged with selling whiskey without a license. Nick was acquitted, and immediately charged his prosecutors with perjury, and last week succeeded in proving oy indisputable lestimony the guilt of Arch Jones. The prisoner will doubtless have an opportunity of spending some time in jail, or possibly in Albany penitentiary. The Poor Man's Boon.?Brother liuciianan, 01 tne unester iteponer, is inclined to be a little "frothy" in his praises of the poor man's boon, as a preventative of restless nights, occasioned by mosquitoes. He says: i "We don't mean Henry George's | :'Anli-Poverty Society;" we simply i mean kerosene oil. While the rich man sleeps luxuriantly under the , pink-hued canopy of his gauzy mos- j quito netting, the poor man anoints bis face and ears with a spoonful of kerosene and then lies down to serene I >lumber, regardless alike of the stir- < :ing song and the sharpened stiletto yf the villianons, bloodthirsty Cnler 5 Zancudoes. Brethren of the rural 1 Dress, let us sound the praises of kero- ] ;ene. It is to us the veritable "oil of by." Earthquake Shocks.?Two dis- ' ;inct earthquake shocks were felt in x>wn on Friday night last, one just ^ ibout twelve o'clock, the other at a :ew minutes before five o'clock. The isual rumbling noise preceded them. rhe shocks were sufficient to rattle windows and doors and to awaken ; several parties who were asleep. An>ther slight shock was felt on Sunday , light about eleven o'elock, but not as j jeavy as either of the ones on Friday. ? Several of our citizens have predicted i general shaking up on the anniver- j >ary of the shock of last August, but , i -t liue laua is piaoeu m iuu jjicuji^tiuu. 4 Lt is about time that we were having a , :est on shakes. A False Alartc.?On "Wednesday 1 light about one o'clock, parties in the < ricinity of the store of Mr. U. G. Des- ( portes were alarmed by the cry of 1 'polices. burglars," etc. The cry s >mncrht a nnmher of o-entlemen to the * ;pot, one of whom opened fire in the lireclion from which the noise came. 1 ifter a silence of a few minutes, in i ivhich everv one expected to see gen- < line burglar come from the store of s ilr. Desportes, the crowd heard a nourning sound accompanied by a i violent lick against one of the stables '< iear by. A colored gentleman in the :rowd, who it seems was accused of < aising the racket, at once exclaimed < 'Dar?s your burglar." An investiga- I :ion revealed a mule in a very sick i jondition, who in his wrath had made ? i gigantic effort to relieve himself of ] >ne side of his stall. ] i "Etowah.*"'?We have received ad- j ranee sheets of "Etowah," a romance J ] )f the Confederacy, a new novel, which will soon be placed on sale. The dedi- ; nation explains that it is designed to 3 iid in building a "Veterans' Home for Confederate soldiers made helpless by reason of the loss of a limb in action faring the war between the States. It i is the purpose of the writer to portray life as it was then, and the heroic sacrifices and struggles of the Southern 1 people. One-half of the proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards sstablishing a Home in Atlanta, Ga. From the advance sheets we do not hesitate to say that it will be a very '< interesting volume, and the cause for which it is written should commend it to our people. It will be sold only by subscription, and an agent will be appointed at an early date to solicit sub scriptions in t his county. On to Philadelphia.?For some time past the Gordon Light Infantry have had under consideration the trip to Philadelphia during the Centennial Celebration. "We learn authoritatively that the fare will be $12.40 for the round trip. Never in a life time will our boys have an opportunity to make such a iournev at such a small co-=t. and be able to see so much within so short a time. Parents and employers should give parties under their control the opportunity to take such a trip, and at such a reduced rate. It will not only be a pleasant trip to cur boys, but at the same time will be very instructive. If the party should be made up, the men will receive 50 cents per day and quarters, so by the exercise of a little economy the trip will A i Anr A A T>a?1V?,V> not ezceea $zo.v\j.

Hoyt, the commissioner from this State, will go on a few ahead, and see that suitable quarters are reserved, and everything made comfortable for the Company. Let the Gordons go by all means. Take a Glass in the Morning. ?A New York exchange says with a good deal of reasoning that according to Dr. Leuf, when water is taken into the full or partly full stomach, it does mingle with the food, as we are generally taught, but passes along quickly between the food and the lesser curvature, towards the pylorus, through which it passes into the intestine. The secretion of mucus bo the lining membrane is constant, and during the night a considerable amount accumulates in the stomach, some cf its liquid portion is absorbed, and that which remains is thick and tenacious. If food is taken into the stomach -when in this condition, it becomes coated with this mucus, and the secretion of the gastric juice and its actiens are delayed. These facts show the value of a goblet of water before breakfast. This washes oat the tenacious mucus, and stimulates the gastric srlands to secre tion. In old or feeble persons water should net be taken cold, bnt it may be with great advantage then taken warm or hot. This removal of the accumulated mucus from the stomach is probably one of the reasons why taking; soup at the beginning of a meal has always been found so beneficial. Sluggers vs. Association. ? The Association base ball club has been defeated so much of late that a game between the sluggers and the associa?? 1 uon nine was arraug^u nu i ucsua) evening last. While it was hardly expected that the sluggers could gain a victory, it was thought that a very pretty game could be had, and so there was. The game was called paomptly at six o'clock, with the association club at the bat. In this inning ?V>rttr in malrintr thrpn rnns. IUV> OUWWUVV* AAA * VW . | The sluggers foiled to score on the first inning, but succeeded in holding their opponents down to the same pudding in the secoud. In the third inning the association club made one run, but in the fourth were shut out by the sluggers, while they got in one ??nv? T fVirt flft-h innintr Anp mnpp rnn JL Uli* A I.UV U4i.il \/?<w \/ ? k?? was made by the association, while the sluggers were again shnt out. The game was then terminated on account of darkness, with the score of o to 1 in favor of the association club. There was some nice playing done on both sides, and shows we have some good hnll mnferinl when f.hev trv themselves. rhe sluggers were assisted by Messrs. Scruggs, of Columbia, and Hanahan, )f Charleston. Mr. J. W. Hanaban icted as umpire. The sluggers should iry again, as they were perhaps a little excited on their first effort. Personal.?Miss Hattie Woodward, )f Waco, Texas, is visiting Dr. W. E. A.iken and family. Mr. Eugene Williams, of Columbia, formerly of our town, is spending some time with relatives here. Mr. W. T. Crawford, formerly a "esident of our town, but for several pears past a resident of Louisiana, is jn a visit here. Capt. W. G. Jordar, the efficient Celler of the Winnsboro National Bank, is off duty this week 011 his lsual annual vacation. Mr. J. M. Beaty, of the firm of J. M. Beatv & Bro., left on Monday for the STorthern markets to purchase his fall uid winter stock. He will be absent ibout ten days or more. Mr. O. Y. Owings left on Monday "or Philadelphia, where he goes to ac;ept a position in one of the leading 3rug stores of that. city. He will also ;ake a course in pharmacy during his jtay in the "City of Brotherly Love." 3ur best Wishes attend him. Mrs. J. M. Jfarter ana aaugnter, svho have been visiting friends in ;own for some weeks past, returned >n Thursday to their home in Mississippi. The Rev. J. T. Chalmers and family returned home on Thursday, after an ibsence of several weeks. Messrs. J. N. Center, D. A. HenIrix and T. H. Ketchin left on Tuesday for the Northern markets, where ;hey will purchase their fall and winder stock of goods. They will be lbsent for ten days or more, and will purchase their stocks with a view to pleasing their raauv customers throughout the county. Watch our advertis [ng columns, and you will doubtless bear from these gentlemen. Miss Holly, who has been visiting Miss Nina Rabb, returned to her home in Chester county on Tuesday. WI2TXSBOBO VS. ZIGUTFOOTS. As stated in our last issue the Boro ? j ooys encountered me reuouuiauie Lightfoots on the diamond on Friday. The visitors were quite a muscular set of fellows, and their personal appearance suggested the idea of home runs UV LUC/ OW1 \/il luv t j however, as will be seen by the score below, their batting proclivities are somewhat undeveloped. Hanahan's twisters were too much for them. It was evident, however, that the visitors were In want of practice.

FROM CHER AW TO WIXXSBORO. j A Railroad Uniting: These Two Points Urged by a Kershaw Gentleman. We gladly give place in our columns to the following letter, and hope it will receive due consideration at the hands of our citizens: Flat Rock, S. C., Aug. 21,1SS7. Jlessss. Editors: Pardon me for intruding this letter upon you, but I feel almost compelled to do so. As you are aware, the Cincinnati, Chicago & Charleston Railway is now in process of construction from Camden to Lancaster, and my object in writing this letter is to call the attention of the people of Winnsboro to the advisability of building" a railroad from Winnsboro to (jheraw, connecting with the C. C. & C. R. It. at the point where we hope to build up a small town upon the completion of said road. A glance at the map will show you that (Jheraw and Winnsboro are nearly opposite, with Fiat llock about midway of the points. Winnsboro needs more railroad facilities, and I think this will be an excellent opportunity to secure them. The advantages of a railroad to (Jheraw are too apparent for me to state them in defoil VttJll* Please call the attention of the citizens of Winnsboro and of Fairfield county to this matter through the columns of your excellent paper. The Palmetto Railroad, just completed to Cheraw, speaks of extending its line to Camden, but I am of the opinion that it would be far better to build to Winnsboro, crossing the Three C.'s Road at this point. This would give us a road penetrating the best portions of three counties, to wit, Chesterfield, Fairfield and Kershaw. Please agitate the matter in your columns. The distanae from Cheraw to Winnsboro : does not exceod seventy miles, and the road can be easily and cheaply constructed, and the ad van t- jes which irrilf incnm M Wirmshnrn from t.hf> same will certainly Be great, as yon know the Three C/s Road is the direct rout to the great grain and provision sections of the Union. D. G. Lanier. LETTER JFJtOX LYZES'S FORD. Messrs. Editors: In my last I made mention of some of the public roads in this vicinity as being in bad condition. Since then they have been worked. Some of the overseers plead they could not work them earlier, but they deserve commendation that they are in better traveling condition now than since 1S60. Two of our County Commis"VT on/l Cfnrtroi'f siuuers, lucssis. uuu uiv/n^M, have lately visited this vicinity reviewing our roads and the wrcck of Beaver Creok bridge, and evince a proper interest in the duty assigned them.

I mean no disparagement to former public servants. Now as to present crop prospects in our vicinity. In addition to the serious loss in corn by the late freshets on Broad River and its tributaries, we have had continuous rains almost sines the 20th ixlt., which have caused much of the cotton fruit to be cast off, and nAnUr Krvlle vnf- hfivloa snms vnsf. gai i v uv/i<o vv *wj vwaviw w?? ? which must inevitably curtail the yield materially.

The health of our vicinity is as good as usual so far at this season of the vear. I hone. Messrs. Editors, to be able to visit your prosperous and patriotic town, erelong, in the interest of rny "Reminiscences of Fairfield/' when I shall receive a hearty support to the long looked-for work." w. e.

LETTER FRO.5x YORK. Messrs. Editors: Sjdcc my last communication, the farmers on the river have sustained a heavy Io?s-. Broad River here, :;t Iloweil's Ferry, v.*as J higher than it has been for thirty years, ah me cum vu uiu uviwui* is entirely ruined. Several, those who are fortuurtc enough to own any hogs have put theiUj with whatsoever stock they possess, on the river bottoms, hoping to derive some benefit from their labor. Mr. Srairh, it is stated, had il not been for the freshet or some subsequent misfortune, would have made eight or ten thousand bushels of corn, whereas there will be very little made by any of his tenants. I know of several who will nor save an ear of corn or a blade of fodder. This is two years in succession that [ the crops on the river have been al most a compicie lauure. uu (he crock? are jrood, have not suffered but very little from high water. Until reccntlv this section lias been favored. There has been only a few I cases of fever. The worst lever that has struck this scction is the "base! ball fever." A few days since Mr. Joseph "White- j sides sustained a heavy loss. While i the creek was very much swollen, a' Wrri man atiemnted to cross, and 1 after getting1 into the stream, became i frightened, jumped from his wagon 1 and made his escape. One mule was : drowned and the other received inju-! ries from which it died. On Saturday last there was a picnic i at 3Ir. Jno. L. Barney's. It was I largely attended. Among the speakers j we noticed Maj. Hart, of Yorkville, i and Mr. W. A. Sanders, uf Chester. A few open bolls of cotton can be seen, although picking has not yet | commenced. There has been, and "* *- iU* I continues to oe, too muca riuu xur mu i cotton. Work on the Three C.'s is progress-! ing rapidly. Idle colorccl persons arc I scarcc in this community, as they get j very good wages on the railroad.

In place of feeling j better we feel more depressed and more j badly than we did the previous day.
