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?

! 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

"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.

Yet we know not when disease and its

We neglect our health, which is tlic most

and when it is gone what pleasure is

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 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.
