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:

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

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,

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.

Mr. Talcott, as Superintendent of th(
lines of the Richmond & Danville sys

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.

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,

of the patent, is a native of Georgia.

Bonhsni has received the following
letter from T. C. DeLeon,
Military. 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. Enclosed letter, prize
lists, circulars, ctc., show fully the
scope and nature of this encampment,
and you will see that it is for the
first time really international. A? a
South Carolinian, 1 still have pride in
the old State, which long absence has
| not killed, and I should be particularly
i glad to sec her well represented at
j this drill if it be possible and agrcca!

To this end I am authorized by the

i case of a South Carolina contingent we
j would bear part of their expense for
j railroad fares. 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

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.

NOW IS YOUR TIM]

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.
