Last year up to the 17th Sep- ; tember he had collected for rent only $71.61; on the 17th September of the present year he had collected in rent $2,750.82. "What a difference in the two years. New Advertisement. ? See the mammoth space reserved in this issue by Messrs. McMaster, Brice Ss Ivetchin. Having purchased one' of the largest and handsomest stocks ever brought to this State, they are determined to let the. citizens of Fairfield and vicinity know where to go when they want a variety to select from. To do this they found it necessary to double their advertising space. Watch it. as they arc too busy opening goods to fill it as they desire in this issue. More Room Needed.?Messrs. Mc blaster, unce ivetcnm, naviugiouau it impossible to display their fall aud winter stock of goods in their already capacious quarters, have decided to remove their drug department to the old stand of Mr. D. It. Flenniben. Their present drug-room will be in a few days filled with fine dress goods and a general millinery stock. This I shows enterprise, and we are glad to t see that our merchants are hunting for ! more room to display their goods. A Cordial Invitation.?The Gor| don Light Infantry received this week from the It. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, of Richmond, a cordial invitation to atteud the unveiling ceremonies of the monument erected in Richmond to the memory ofGeu. R.E. Lee. The Gordons will ever remember their cordial welcome given them by the organization of that city in August, 18-S5, and remember the trip \ * as one of the most pleasant trips of the Company. They regret their inability to accept the present invitation. New Store.?"We are authorized to announce that the new milinery and dress-making emporium under the management of Mrs. J. D. McCarley, will be opened in full blast by the first of October or sooner. She has secured the services of a first-class milliner and dress-maker, and our ladies will have no difficulty in furnishing their wardrobes in these departments with the latest and neatest styles. Look out for the advertisement in our next issue. Attempted Rape.?Charles Young, colored, was lodged in jail on Wednesday, charged with an attempt to out rage a little colored girl about twelve years of age, in the northwestern se> tion of the county. lie was given a preliminary hearing on Thursday. About thj only testimony against him was the statements of the girl herself. The two families have been on unfriendly terms for some time and have had several law suits recently, and some are inclined to the position that the charge is a trumped up one. There was sufficient evidence, however, to send him up for trial, and in default of bail was committed to jail. Those Dogs.?Since the ordinance went into efleet requiring all owners of dogs to collar them, the loose dogs around town have decreased in number considerably, bul we hear a good deal of complaint from citizens in the vicinity of the freight depot, caused by the number of do<rs running on the street - - . J without collars. Thcv say, and justly too, that if we are going to have clogs collared, force all parties to provide collars or kill out the dogs. If our policemen, says one, would step down near his house any evening about dusk, he would have no tr ble in bagging at least a half dozen animals running on the streets without collars. The experiment is worth a trial he thinks any way. The Outlook.?Judging from the crop reports of different sections. throughout the South, we are safe in saying that the crops in general for the present year will be far above the average for many years past. Our agriculturalists are upon a better .foundation this year than they have been for some time, and for the following reasons: The amount of commercial fertilizers used in 1SS7 have decreased .1 i 1JU1U51 UUC-UJ11U, uui iaiuiv^io ..n i ^ been more economical the present year than for a number of years; more corn has been planted than for several years past; more hogs are being raised than formerly; a larger acreage of small grain was harvested; more attention has been paid to stock raising; less supplies and fewer dry goods have been bought; and in general ourfarm3rs have been living more at home the present year than for a number of years past. We think the statements above made will be borne out by the facts, and we are glad to see it. It is true that our agriculturalts owe debts contracted in the past, but they are making a determined effort to rid themselves of the burden, and at the beginning of the year 188S there is no reason why they cannot get along even svith less than for the year previous, thus adding to the net gain. There is life in the old land yet, and by proper management and the exercise of a strict economy, there is no reason why ^ur citizens should not place themselves upon a firm foundation. \V e iiope, and confidently expect to see Inrini* Hir* lipvf. VP.11*. less SllDDliCS purchased and less debt placed upon tanners foi\other goods than for the past decade. If this be true our farmers will profit by it in the long run. What is the Future??In our last issue we had something to say in regard to the apathy of our citizens as to the condition of our town. Since that time we have conversed with a number of our citizens on the subject, and we are convinced that our people Dnlv need a little stirring up to create an energy which will result in much sjood to our town. Other towns are marching rapidly on the road to prosperity. with inferior advantages, while our town stands where it did a quarter of a century ago. The increase in population is due ojily to the natural increase, whiie other towns arc attracting outsiders. For an example we take Columbia. For ten years her citizens waited for the completion of the canal before establishing a cotton factory. When her citizens saw that it would be a long time in the future before she could utilize her water power, she, without it, at once organized a cottou factory with a capital of $300,000, and within three weeks from the time the plan was originated the entire capital was subscribed, with old Fairfield men at the helm, who subscribed 810,000 to start on. Winnsbcro stands to-day where she stood a quarter of a century ago. The majority of the stock of her National Bank is held by parlies outside of her limits. It has and will in future declare a dividend of ten per cent, per annum. Bat the majority of the per cent, as above shown will go to parties foreign to the county. Is this business or enterprise? No. Our young men are anxious to find employment, but thev can't find it here, and will seek their fortunes in other places. The future of our town and county 'depends 011 them, but what attractions does our town offer? Talk about capital. Two men have offered to subscribe $15,000 towards the erection of a cotton factory. Our citizens could certainly raise $20,000 moro, and with this capital we can get $50,000 foreign capital for the enterprise. Our population as a natural result would increase .at least ten per cent., thereby insuring more business to the town. TYc ca-.i never be able to come out of the old ruts until we take a new departure, and new life is thrown into our citizens. We need men of business (and we have them) to start our town and county. Who will set the ball in motion? BHaBSBBaHBanBBBBaBBMMBKZflBHaaB * ! D ay gee From tiie Dairy.- -We clip the following from the Columbia Register of Friday : Several members of the family of Colonel F. W. McMaster drank buttermilk at dinner Thursday. A few hours later Mr. James Woodrow, Mrs. Woodrow, and the Colonel's young son, McKinnon, were taken quite" violently ill, the two former suffering most ! severely. The symptoms of the attack ! were violent pains, nausea and great ! prostration. Dr. Tally was summoned and pronounced the sickness poisoning by the buttermilk taken by those affected, or, technically speaking, from tyrotoxicon, a poisonous compound developed in milk under certain conditions. The attack ofthose mentioned, while at first alarming and causing those affected much suffering, proved not to be of a serious nature, and at last accour.'s all the patients were more comfortable and doing well; Colonel McMaster himself also partook of the buttermilk, but escaped any ill effects beyond a severe headlint a mn of stronsr coffee. taken immediately after, mav have acted as an antidote. This new danger, at least new in discovery, in the products of the diary, ! has become of late a subject of interest I and study by physicians and other scientific men. Prof. Vanghan, of the University of Michigan, claims to have discovered the poison, and has given it the polysyllabic name ofTyrotoxicon, which, freely interpreted, means cheese poison. It is,"as has been said, a poisonous compound which dcvelopes in milk the growth of a germ which multiplies rapidly when air is excluded or present in limited amount, and when the temperature is comparatively warm?a temperature of 9S Fahr. beiDg most favorable to its growth. The compound is decomposed when heated nearly to boiling with water. Milk fresh from the cow placed in close cans and not cooled is most liable to be affected. By experiments a very small dose of the poison clear has been found to be fatal, causing death 111 a few hours. Smaller amouuts causc rapid emaciation, and death from exhaustion, and death from exhaustion after a longer interval of time. Tyrotoxieoit Las also been discovered i:i cheese and I~e cream, and "it is highly probable." says a recent writer on the subject that the formation and presence of this poison has been the occasion of some of the mysterious epidemics caused in this State by eating ice cream. COTJIIT OF GEXEItAL SESSIOXS. The Court of General Sessions convened 011 Monday morning at ten o'clock, his Honor Judge Wallace presiding. A call showed fifteen grand jurors present, while thirty-three petit jurors answered to their names. A number of cases from former terms were continued. Tiio rvisn of the State v. Alfred Oson, charged with perjury, was then taken up?Messrs. Clias. A. Douglass and Ragsdale & Ragsdale for the defense. Yerdict?"Guilty." A motion was made by the attorneys for the tie- j fense for a new trial, but was refused by his Honor. The next case taken up was that of the Slate v. Robert Means, charged with obtaining goods under false pretences?Messrs. Chas. A. Douglass and Ragsdale & Ragsdale for the defense. Verdict?"Not Guilty." Immediately after the adjournment for dinner and upon the reconvention of Court, the Solicitor gave out a number of bills for consideration by the grand jury. At ihe request of counsel sentence was passed upon Alfred Cason, convicted in the forenoon of perjury. lie was sentenced to six months at hard labor in the penitentiary or pay a fine of $40. The next case taken up was that of the State vs. Mary Liston, clmged with receiving stolen goods?Messrs. Chas. A, Douglass, and Ragsdale & Hairs dale for the defense. Verdict? "Guilty." SjlSE tujs facts. . 3f.essrs. Editors: Notwithstanding the unusually bright prospect of renewed prosperity in every department of industry this year, some men will be -despondent. Occasionally J -these "growlers" will meet together and bemoan the general depression, as they think, and the complete deadness of everything and everybody about them. Winnsboro has her share of this class of men, and it is for just such that this is written. Let us see what sort of dead town we have anyway. Here are some figures carefully collected which we commend to their consideration. The yearly sale of provisions in Winnsboro amount to. . .$350,000 Dry goods 150,000 Hardware 50,000 1 Miscellaneous 100 000 ' Total 050,000 These figures arc for ordinary years, and we believe that the amount will be increased as we hope to show further on. Careful estimates place our cotton receipts at 15,000 bales this year. The market price here is as high as anywhere outside of Charleston in this State. The trade that naturally' belongs to Winnsboro will therefore come to her in preference to more distant points. Sonle tried Columbia last year, but did not improve their trade. As our prices are the same exactly, we believe that none who naturally trade with Winnsboro will leave her to trade elsewhere, because nothing will be gained thereby. The Winnsboro Bank paid out recently for cotton $8,000 in one day, and is doing sometmng ox samu sun every day. The bank has also expended $5,000 this summer for repairs on their building. That does very well for a dead town. This same dead town spent between $10,000 and $12,000 during the past year for a new school building, which adds to the general progress and population of the place. .Right in the dead town iand sold this year for $200 an acre, and new residences have gone up during the summer. The Winnsboro Granite Quarries, while not within the corporate limits, still may be called a Winnsboro enterprise. The capital of this company is I to be increased to $100,000, according to the 3Ianvfcicturer$' Record. Some of our merchants contemplate enlarging their place of business, and all of them have bought large stocks of goods and are selling and intend to 1 sell them as cneap as auywueiu. o^/aoe forbids the enumeration of all the evidences of prosperity to be seen in AVinnsboro, but we have shown enough to answer the purpose. Anyway "if the town is dead, will "growling" build it up? The best way is to smile 1 sweetly and join in the procession, j There is no cause for despondency in j any one, but every reason for cheer| lulness and hope. rniMus.

DKATi! Is Something ?*ono of f.'s l,ikc 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. We neglect our health, which is tlic most important factor to our comfort and happiness, and when it is gone what pleasure is left us? We feci badly, languid, sleepy, but say Its all right. *'I will.feel better m the morning." ".Morning comes, but the 1 1..V ~ 4-^.1 . 4-Urx*.

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 thiol, of health, for by procrastination we allow onr systems to become thoroughly poisoned with <iisea.se, and once thoroughly charged with malaria or the germs of fever it is no easy job to rid ourselves of them. It is an established fact and bt-yond 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 pii!, try Dr. Gilder's j Liver Pills: or if a lipoid preparation, j 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. * McMASTER, BKICE & KETCH IN'.
