The prospects for i the coming session arc very flattering, and it is expected that considerably more than two hundred pupils will be 111 attendance. .1 .

These reports arc based upon j middling cotton: 1 Charleston, 0 1-1G; Gavcston,9 1-1G; i Savannah, 3 I.0-1G; Columbia, 81. Middling cotton brought SI on our market Saturday, and some sold on Friday at nine cents per pound. Davis-AVatson. ?

All of these gentlemen will accept our thanks, as we are sure the melons were exceptionally line. What say you now, brother Buchanan, can you beat it? I ! ?_?_ Competition the Like of Trade.? On Thursday Messrs. J. T. and X. S. Turner, representing the firm of Car-! roll & Stacy, of Gaffney City, estab- j lished themselves in the store of j ! Messrs. Turner & Co., for the purpose , | of buying cotton, The market opened j quiet, and numberless wagons began to fill our streets loaded with the staple. Competition was clean cut, and the market rapidly jumped from S.521 to 8.70, with the chanccs of the different firms about even. Friday was a repetition of the same game, and the competition ran the market up to : 9 (cnts per pound. Onr buyers are j determined that the market shall be, | and is now, one of the best cotton | markets in the State, the staple selling1 j at present within au eighth of a cent j per pound of the price paid by Charles- j ! ton. There is no use for our farmers j to haul their cotton to other markets a? long as such prices arc paid in clean hard c&s-li right at your doors. The competition promises to keep up, and who but our farmers will profit by it? Foiled bt the Sheriff.?Our wideawake Sheriff on Monday morning did not admire the outlook for Charley Veal, the negro lodged in jail recently for an attempted rape on the little daughter of Mr. C. R. Joyner, and at once began to gather facts which j would warrant him in sending his prisoner off for safe keeping. His sus picions were confirmed later in the day, and he at oncc began to prepare for the removal of the prisoner to Columbia for safe* keeping. Providing himself with plenty of burnt cork be had his jailer to completely disguise the prisoner, who was a light colored man, a?d to change his appearance in other ways. The jailer and prisoner then came out on Main street, the former with a hoe on his shouldei\ the latter with a jug in one hand and an old pair or Doots in the other, andproceeded down Main street to the store of the Sheriff. Passing through they began work in the garden in rear of the store, and continued it until the south-bound train arrived, when he was put on board and safely carried to Columbia. The disguise was perfect,* and it is doubtful whether the prisoner could have been recognized if he had been hunted for. Of course we can give no information escept hearsay, but from what we j could gather from different quartersj the plan of the lynching party was to carry out their purpose on Tuesday night, and but for the timely move of the Sheriff there is littb doubt but that Charley Veal wouid have met with a severe sentence from Judge Lynch. Two Rascals.?The Columbia correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution in a reccnt arliclc to that journal, gave an account of depredations committed in tnc western section ox una wumv by an organized band of desperadoes. From accounts and comments by other journals, we arc led to believe that the .condition of affairs was very much exaggerated, and for our own information and for the information of the public, we took occasion to investigate "the matter through gentlemen from w o that section, and find about the followfl-irt r"isr>- Twft TlPflTprtP!.?. u iiig 1UVLO XI I tliU VMW A II V V O-J , Fred Hopkins and Ilcnry Ilodge, have been committing- a series of depredations on the chicken houses, corn fields, and watermelon patches of that sec_ lion, much to the aggravation of the . people. Fred Hopkins was arrested last week and taken before Trial Justicli Glenn. After a preliminary hearj i:ig- the iuslicc bound him over for f trial. Tie refused to be handcuffed, and when the attempt was made to force them on his wrist he resisted, d and in (he scuffle succeeded in making - his cscape. It is now staled on good 1 authority that he defies the law and s says he will not be taken alive, and t has threatened the lives of a good f many citizens of that .section. lie has c already served a sentence in the penie tentiary. The other negroc seems to be of (hi same stripe and is about as bad a fellow as Hopkins. Certainly there is enough men in that section to hunt them down' and bring them to justicc? Wiiat's the Matter??Winnsboro ranks among (he oldest towns in the State, and the county surrounding it is one of the finest in the up-county as an agricultural county, yet we find our sister towns Chester, union, Lancaster, ltichland, York ami other counties moving rapidly on the road to prosperity, while our town stands in the point of prosperity where it stood a quarter of a century ago. Laurens, ten years ago, had a population of eight hundred, now it closes its files at over two thousand. Yorkvillc, five years ago was looked upon as a dead town and county, now the poorest land in the county sells at eight and ten dollars per acre, while the average for Fairfield from all sales is not five. Our sister towns are building factories, , encouraging new railrords by liberal subscriptions, establishing other enterprises, ami in many other ways are , attracting outsiders, while our town , still remains idle. It is true that some , say we haven*!, the capital to establish ] other enterprises, bat in reply we say j there are millions of dollars at the ( North which will be sent South to i those towns who help themselves. Is | "Winnsboro helping herself? "We regret ( to say she is not. Our capitalists cither ( have not brains to see good invest- , ments, or they are too stingy and care- j fnl to risk anything. Jlcr advantages { are inferior to none in the State, yet , to all appearances it will be a dead j town unless some of oar enterprising ^ men take things in hand. Our popu- i lation has not increased five hundred ( souls in the last quarter of a century, j and the prospects for increase in the ( future are very discouraging unless , something is done. Is it not tTme that , our people were realizing this fact, 1 and making a united and* determined ( effort to again take a start on the road < to prosperity? 1 TIGJITFOGIS VICTORIOUS. Messrs.

The visitors, however, did not bring their "twister" with thera, and I this is some excuse for their being so ] deeply snowed under. The first inning j chaikcd up a score of 2 for the visi- j tors and 13 for the locals. After the first inning the visitors did not make a c" single run, and the two made in the c first inning were partly, if not alto- j gel her, attributable to errors on the ] part of the locals.

Dear Sir.?Your letter received ! and contents noted. I have had very little experience in keeping sorgnum ; after cutting it, bnt am satisfied it will i keep several months if properly : handled. I have kept it over a month without injury. The plan I adopted was to house it and keep it out of the weather. If allowed to remain exposed to the weather it will dry out and may sour after three or four weeks. I have planted the different varieties and am satisfied all will keep several months if protected from the sun and rain. I would state that the fodder should be stripped off the cane, also tops cut off and cane nicely piled. A LIVIXG EXAMPLE. Messrs. Editors: Oat of a volume styled ''Living Female Writers of the South," whicU recently fell into my hands, the following extracts arc taken from the sketch of the life of our esteemed friend, Mrs. Ladd. "MRS. CATHERINE LADD." i "The name that heads this article will call a thrill of pleasure to manyhearts, for this lady is one of the most noted and successful of the teachers of the State of South Carolina, and hundreds of her old pupils, many of them now teaching-, scattered throughout the land, remember her kindness and entire unselfishness. She is the most generous of women; her lime, her talents, her worldly goods are at the command of all her lriends," says one oi ner ua-[juuho. "Ill 1S51 she with ardor took up the subject of education, home manufactories and encouragement of white labor, believing that the ultimate prosperity of South Carolina would depend on it. She reasoned from a conviction that South Carolina could not long compete with the more Southern and Southwestern States in raising Anf?-An nrif] an extensive svstem of slave labor would realize no profit." "After the commencement of the war Mrs. Ladd gave up everything to devote herself to tke cause of the South. She lived for the soldiers! Was elected President of the Soldiers' Aid Association, which office she retained until the close of the war, and by her untiring exertions kept the Society well supplied with clothing. Iler pen*was unused during the war, the i needle and her personal supervision being constantly in demand. In Winnsboro no church is built, no charity solicited, no amusement for young people, no concert, tableaux or fair?nothing goes on without her cheerful and ever ready aid." !

JJiit jven here she shows our people how :o smooth the asperities of farm life )y illustrating the charms of the country. Her grape?, pears, plums, peachis and other fruits claim much of her mention and give happiness to her family and friends.
