Hendrix returned to his old stand in the bank building on Wednesday, where he will be found in the future, prepared and anxious to please all who desire anything usually found in a first-class mercantile establishment. He is at present in New York purchasing his fall and winter stock, which in a few days will be open for inspection. Give him a trial before making your j/Ui UilvfcO^C. Railroad Smash Ur.?On Thursday evening the north-bound freight train which reaches this point at about seven o'clock, p. m., met with a serious accident at the pump, just below town. The train consisted of twenty-six loaded cars. Some distance below the pump one of the coupling pins broke, and the engine and twelve cars ran up to the pump for water. In a short while the other fourteen cars came dashing around the curve, tciescopmg the twelve cars in front and cornpletely wrecking two cars and seriously damaging four others. It was twelve o'clock when the train, in good order, pulled out for Chariotte. From reports it was a clear case of accident, and blame can be attached to no one. McCakley & Co.?-Mr. 1?. J. 31cCarley returned this week from a trip to the mountains, in order to be present during the cotton season. Mr. MeCarlev and his partner, Mr. Macaulay, are .too well known to the people of Fairfield to need any endorsemnnt from ns. In conversation with a member of the firm on Fridav, we learn that they expect to handle the largest number of bales of any cotton merchant in the up-country flnrino- the present season, and will pay the highest price in hard, clean cash. Give them a bid before selling. Our merchants in surrounding towns would do well to correspond with them before closing contracts with Northern firms. They mean business, and we are sure deserve success. A Peculiar Petition.?We learn from the Columbia correspondent of the JSfetv$ and Courier, that a petition asking for the removal of Supt. G. II. Talcott, of ithe Richmond & Danville syndicate of railroads, was in circulation in Columbia on Wednesday-^nd that similar petitions for signatured? would be put out at all points on that I line in this State. We have made inquiry into this matter from our business men, and find that no such peti| tion is in circulation in our town. We do not hesitate to state that the action of -Mr. Talcott, as Superintendent, has called forth any number of criticisms from our people, but no such news as a united effort lo^effect his removal has been carried. Burned to Death.?A colorcd child, about eight months of age, was burned to death on the plantation of Mr. T. L. Gladden on Tuesday last. The mother, Mary Shannsn, betore going to work in the field, covered the fire up and locked the infant up in the house. A colored man on going to the house to sec the father found the door listened, and on pushing it ' open, discovered the child lying in the fire dead. It was burned to a crisp from its freet to its armpits. It is supposed that the child crawled to the fire, and while playing with it fell among the coals with the above result, j Such cases as this arc of frequent oc; currence in this State, and something I ought to be done to compel parents to be more careful with their offspring. : Fine Hay.?Mr. W. E. Doty, one of : the county's most progressive and successful farmers, on Monday began mowing his German millett. He had twenty-one acres planted, and the land bad been thoroughly prepared, rolled ! and made as smooth as a pavement. ; Three reapers were placed in operation : I Monday morning, and before sunset '! the entire field had been harvested, ;! which will turn out at the least calcu; lfifinn fiff.r tons of haw Some vrreks . ago the army worm made its appearance in his field, which compelled him | to harvest ten days sooner than he I otherwise would have done, causing | him a loss of about twenty-five tons. > s ! "Why will oar farmers continue to pay fancy prices for "VVestern and Northern hay, when an effort on their part will produce results similar to that of Mr. Doty? It is ust-less for our people to buy a single pound of foreign hay, when it. can be made so successfully within oar own border. Pktit Jurors.?The following is a list of the pct'u jurors drawn to serve at the approaching term of the Court, which will be in session for two weeks: Charles B. Lyles, Jtobt. Y. Clowney, P. II. Flanni?ran, Joseph L. Bagly (colored), C. E. Lcitner, Tiios J. Pabb, David F. Richardson, T. J. Robertson, P. C. Mellichatnp, D. II. Robertson, Oliver Sloan (colored), Samncl Duke, X.

Com well. Gala Day.?The 8th instant has 1 been appointed "Gala Day" in our sister town of Yorkville. It will be celebrated by a number of male races and the sport promises to be exceptionally fine. The proceeds will go towards defraying1 the expenses of securing a cemetery for the town. This reminds us of the fact that our town is without a cemetery. In our large cities and even in our county towns, one of the chief attractions is their cemeteries. Winnsboro can ill afford to be behind her sister towns:. Cannot something be done towards securing suitable premises and establishing a town cemetery? It would add much to the attractions of our town, and at the same time would be more convenient and acceptable to our .. Tiru* : > pUUpJLU t li'./ Will hi the enterprise? Cotton* Fire.?Mr. A. Williford h?.d tiie misfortune to lose about three bales of cotton on Thursday night, ilis wagon started from his Jackson Creek place on Thursday evening lato. According to the statement of one of the colored men, one of the bales had caught Are at the gin, but it was thought to be extinguished and was placed on the wogon with tho other four bales. It seems {hat in tins they were mistaken, as it was found on the road that the entire load was on lire. When it was discovered the team became frightened and ran for soinc distance before thev could be halted, which only added to the fury of the flames. Before it could be gotten under control the five bales had all been burned considerably, and his wagon body destroyed. The entire loss will foot up about one hundred and fifty dollars. Tiik Xew Armory.?The new armory of the Gordon Light Infantry in the DailK DUliCUng, wncn compiuieu, \vj.u be one of the handsomest and most convenient in the up-country. The hall is GOxCS feet, with convenient gun racks and otber repositories on J one side. The floor is double laid, with a layer of felt cloth between the floors, with open windows on three sides and two .doors on the other. It can be with a little trouble and expense turned into an entertainment hall, while the double laid floor will make it one of the finest dancing halls in the ennntv. The Gordons hone to be in their new quarters by the 1st October at the outside. We suggest a compli-_ raeutary hop as a lit celebration to their return in their once old, but now new and handsome quarters. What say you, boys? Weather for September.?Prof. C. Baker, Charlotte's local weather prophet, has handed in his predictions for the month of September, as follows: September 1, fair and cool wind; 2, cloudy and cool; 3, fair and cold; 4, cool and rain; 5, partly cloudy and mild; 6 and 7, good rains, thunder and wind; S, cloudy and warm; 9, fair and warm; 10, partly cloudy and mild; 11, rain; 12, cloudy and mild; 13, rainy, thunder and cool; 14, little rain and cooler; 15, cloudy and little rain; 1G, good rain and thunder; 17, rain and thunder; IS aiul 19, big- rain, thunder and windy; 20, partly cloudy and thunder; 21 and 22, fair and warm; 23, good rain and thunder; 2-i and 25, partly cloudy and thunder; 20, good rain and thunder: 27, rain in the morning; 28, rainy and thunder; 20, little rain; 30, very rainy and thunder. Cut the above out and compare the predictions with the weather. Personal.?Mrs. I. J. Bell, of North Carolina, is visiting friends in town. Mr. Thomas Lyles, Jr., formerly a citizen of our county, is on a visit to relatives in this county. .More than twenty years ago lie removed to Louisiana, where he has since resided, and wc understand this is his lirst visit to the old Palmetto State since his removal. Mr. W. B. Gilbert, chief of police, is on a visit to friends and relatives in Newberry county. auss jytargie -uoms, 01 xreniou, is visiting her grand-mother, Mrs. C. S. Brice of the county. Capt. Malloy, United States Deputy Collector, was in town on Monday on his usual tour of inspection. Mr. "William Ederington, our county historian, is in town for a few days. Mr. W. S. Sloan, of Columbia, is on a visit to friends in town. Miss Minnie Evans and Miss Marion Boyd, after an absence cf sevcra] weeks, Lave returned to their homes in our town. Two Petitions.?Two petitions have been in circulation in our town this MI* A ^ A VAmr?T?rtl A' >V UUlV. V-/11U Uai*i.U? JLl'JL LliV u Mr. Talcott, as Superintendent of th( lines of the Richmond & Danville sys tem in this States the other asking; foi signatures that our merchants had nc ' grievances against Mr. Talcott. Tin ' latter petition received the signa tares of most of onr bustness men I the majority expressing" the fact thnj ; they had no complaint to make againsl j Mr. Taicotf, as they realize the fact that he is only the agent of his superior officers in carrying out their instructions. From the statements of our contemporary, the Columbia Rcgi$ter, it would seem that the effort to sceure the removal of Mr. Talcott originated in "VVinnsboro, Chester and Ilock Tiill. It looks very much as if the Comrobia mo:i were pulling tne nuts from the lire with the hands of oulside towns, since (he petition made its appearance in the capital some days before it did in the surrounding towns. "While our business men have grievances againt the Richmond & Danville Company, they arc not willing to make a scapegoat of Mr. Talcott. ^av Pa^tav CZ.rv On Qn f r/1 ov w/l \_/AA tjwui.iMi*; morning Mr. J. M. Cox gave an exhibit*:" in front of the Court House of his cotton gin, trasher and fire extinguisher. A number of gentlemen attended to witness for themselves the workings of the gin. The patent is upon a brush which can be attached to any gin, making it impossible with its use to run any lire through tlie gin, and it also makes a better sample. His first experiment was with some very dirty cotton with the attachment oO; and then with it on. One of our best cotton merchants said that there wns a cent per pound difference in the two samples. A box of matches was then broken up and scattered through a little pile of cotton, and the cotton saturated with kerosene oil, and set on fire and fed to the cin in a burning condition. It was extinguished without the slightest trouble by the brush. The brush can be attached to any gin, fin< 1 nromises to be cmite an addition J ? L' - A lo that machine. Mr. Cox, the owner of the patent, is a native of Georgia. We learn that two of onr farmers are negotiating for the county right for Fairfield.

Secretary of the i ntcr-national drill which will take place in Chicago next month: Chicago, August 20.?My Dear General: Within the past two years I have had so much correspondence fruitlessly with you about our two drills at Washington and Mobile that I believe wc may have the proverbial 'luck in odd numbers' and appeal to you for the third time.

Living in camp, and i all other expenses here, will be rej duced to a minimum, and I have no j doubt that the Palmetto boys would make a genuine sensation in the far West. Hoping to hear from you soon, with your views upon this matter, I remain, very truly yours, T. C. DeLeox, """""J ?-... Attempted Rape.?On Saturday Charles Ycal was lodged in jail charged with attempting to rape the seven year old daughter of Mr. C. Jl. Joyr.cr. The local editor took it upon himself to visit on Monday Mr. Joyner and | family to learn from them a true statement of the facts in the case. By the I t-inflnpss rtf the familv ho was driven a private interview with the child who j ii.is charged he attempted to outrage. Snel&TcUthat the defendant was down in the bottol^v^king with hay when her little brother canie'down, and Veal asked where they got water. The reply was, sometimes up the branch and sometimes down the branch. Defendant replied, that with a hoe he could I clean out a spring 011 the snot which was much nearer, and sent the little boy to the house for a hoc. Before he had gotten half way back, the negro hollowed and told him to tell nis sister 10 bring the house shovel. She did so and started at once for the place. When she arrived the negro sent the boy Jesse off lor his coat some three hundred yards, and dur: igbis absence Charles Veal drew the girl down in the Jitch and asked her to kiss him, at the same time making other advances. Before hi? devilish scheme had been accomplished, Jesse arrived upon the scene and of course the villain deterred. These arc about the. facts gathered by the local editor from the girl herself. DEATH ! Is Soniethins: Xcne of l'.s Like to Think of. Yet we know not when disease and its ravages will attack us. We neglect the small things in life to grasp larger ones. V?"c nesrlect our health, which is the most important factor to our comfort and happiness, and when it is gone what pleasure is left us? We feel badly, languid, sleepy, but say its all right. '! will feel better in the morning." Morning comes, hut the germs of disease have heen planted; they readily take root and grow in the broken down" constitution. In place of feeling better we feel more depressed and more badly than we did the previous day. Procrastination is the. thief of time: it is also the thief of health, for by procrastination we allow onr systems to become thoroughItt TCitVi arwl thfir oughly charged with malaria, or the genus of fever it is no easy job to rid ourselves of them. It is an established fact and beyond dispute though that if we keep the liver healthy and in good order it is impossible for disease to take hold on our system. "If you prefer a pill, try Dr. Gilder's 1 Liver Pills: or if a liqaid preparation, Hill's Hepatic Panacea. They both remove the excessive bile from the system, tone up the stomach to healthy action, build up the broken down constitution, and if taken according to direction, it is impossible for disease to take hold on us. * McMASTEIl, BlilCE & KETCHIN.

I \ i f \ |_J HP ISSf&a Pj i \x JLX JL NOW IS YOUR TIM] -~= ^5 s?3a S'JZOniilS CREEK-" VS. 'TAGJIT." Messrs. Editors: I now proceed i") conciudc my reply to "Light's" ariiele, which I shall try to do in short order. "Light" again quotes from "Morris Creek:" "I believe that railroads benefits the lev.*, but tend to the injury o( the many." lie makes no attempt to disprove this; he only mentions wha! line of action he would favor "if this be so." There is nothing .therefore to reply to. Again "Li^ht" quotes from ".Morris Creek:" ltaiiroad facilities tend to hinder and check the amotrif of production,-" etc. ''Morris Creek'5 gives a reason or rather a proof for this, but "Light" makes no attempt to disprove jr. bnt only says t;if we ;tre induced to i:e<rleet our interests, and impoverish ourselves we arc bad boys,'-* etc. Being bad bovs cannot prove that our people would not produce supplies, (meat and bread at home,) had we no railroads. What is consumed (food) is not taxable property, it docs not increase the wealth of the State; and every dollar sent out of the State to buy food leaves the State that much poorer, and were it. not for rail? 'yintnr TX-rml/l >if:f. be; SGllt iyuu? uui UiViiv; ? out of the Slate ;to buy if, but wc would raise it at home. I know this argument i* made gratuitously, in support of my own declaration, but is uncalled for in the discussion, as "Light" has not disproved it, unless being bad boys and deserving punishment disproves it. When "Light" disproves it will be time enough for "Morris Creek'-* to prove. In regard to the facilities of transportation favoring cornering on the necessities of life, "Light" says: "When a corner is macie on we necessities of life, transportation to u great extent stop?, and those things arc piled v/) and held until the time comes to sell?' Exactly so. Here he admits the magnitude of the evil. While these things are piled up and held until the time comes to sell, are the conj sumers to perish for the necessaries of | lite? And when would the lime corne to sell if there T.vere no railroads? "Were every section of our country to raise its own supplies, it would in a great measure kill the railroads, and failing to do it the railroads arc killing, them. It is row the railroad vs. the peopie, or the people vs. railroad. ! Their interests arc antagonistic at the present time, and I mean by the peopie the agricultural portion. They need not be antagonistic, but they arc now. ! It is to the interest of railroads to bring all our raeat and bread to us. While it is to the people's interest to raise both at home. By neglecting to do this we arc sending off our money to support ike great railroad dignita! rics of the Xorth. One other point remains to be noticed which I regret "Light" lias referred ! to. lie says: "I venture to believe ; that the public school system has enemies even in the neighborhood of "Morris Creek."" "Morris Creek" knows no one in his neighboorhood opposed to public schools as such, but I lie knows of one man at least, who is opposed to wnai us; ufuuvw .n.oui,... age in en t in some of the operations and appliances of the system. 1st. !Ie believes it is unjust for public schools to run unequal lengths of time in the same township. 2nd. II? believes it i isunjust for one teacher to teach 35 or 4(T pupils for $25 per month, and another to- get the same salary for teaching five or {en, both having first grade certificates. 3rd. lie believes it is unjust for old established schools to be broken up that another may be established for the accommodation ot" one or two patrons, and with much less than ' ' JTo Hail tuc nninoer ul ?'u:jviai? -m.. ? ? believes that for our best ami highest first grade teachers to receive only ?25 per month, is a reproach to the county5th. lie believes that the patrons should have a vote in t!;e selection of a teacher for their children. If these opinions constitute a bona tide enemy, then 'Jlorris Creek" is one. 1 say this because "Light," has brought up the subject, and "Morris Creek" must be true to his convictions. But iii saying this "Morris Creek" I means no reflection or censure upon I our School Commissioner, who is no ) doubt doinsr the best he can; nor do I mean or iniend the least reflection upon any of our teachers, for many of these, for their laborious and faithful work, deserve double t' Hilary they receive. If "Light" ' facts intimated in the forcg' i..\u .-.taterriCnt and will apply privalclyi<j"'Morris Crock,*' he will furnish him with thcfacts and the names. but he cannot consent to be a party to drag the names of several of our best teachers into Tin: Herald. And if "Light'7 finds that facts intimated do not or have not existed, and will convince ".Morris Creek" of the same, then "Morris Creek" will make to "Light"7 a public acknowledgement in The IIeiialo that he was mistaken. morris ckeek.
