WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, : : : 1SSS: ? Valedictory. With this issue of the paper my connection with The News and Hekald terminates. When I assumed the duties of an editor twelve months ago I determined that the work which I would contribute to the paper should be performed at night; that my duties as . an editor should not interfere with my work in the practice of my profession, to which I allotted the daytime. I have learned in the course of the year that it is not possible to serve two masters; that in the conflicting exactions of the two, the just den on/1 in nifind^ ox dotu m ^ ^ ****v* the future * I will devote my entire time to the practice of my profession ?the Law. The News and Herald will continue under able and faithful management. I bespeak for the present proprietors, the support which I know they will deserve, and which will redound to the well-being of the whole people of the county whose* best interests the paper has striven at all times to subserve. E. B. Ragsdale. Valedictory. Th3 connection of the undersigned with The News and Heiiald dates from the 1st of January, ISSo, but with this issue it terminates, and the editorial mantle he has worn for that period will fall on worthier shoulders. Daring that time he has striven to the best of his ability to conduct the department to which be was'assigned for the best interest of the county and the public generally. But with a desire to return to his first love?the law?he lays down the editorial pen with the hope that the mistakes which he has made in the conduct of the business will be attributed to the head and not the heart, and with best wishes for the future of the Fairfield News and Herald. W. L. McDonald. Salutatory. Having purchased the interest and good will of the present proprietors in The News and Herald, with this issue, we assume its full management and control. t,i *ho fnfnro management cf the paper, Jas. Q. Davis ftill conduct the business department of the paper more especially, frequently contributing, however, to its columns as his othei business will permit. The editorial and other literary work of the papei wili be conducted by Paul M. Brice for the most part. The new proprietors, in entering upon journalistic work, fully appreciate the magnitude of the nndertak j^^jT ing. Believing, as it is, that the press is a mighty power in the moulding direction and ^expression of pnbli( opinion, they know full well that ras! responsibility rests upon them iu as> suming control of this paper. Never theless they take upon their shoulder; the mantle that has fallen upon them trusting that, by assiduous attentior to duty and by careful consideration o: the best interests of the State ant county, they shall discharge, this responsibility worthily. The policy of the paper will be conservative in all things. It is superilnour perhaps to state that it will continue in the future, as in the past, tc hold sturdily to the principles of th< Democratic party. We shall, at al times, nevertheless, hold ourselves free to fearlessly contend against an} measure or measures in the adminis tration of the party or governmem which would be to the detriment o: the State and with equal courage up hold that which is best. We shall always follow the trutl wherever it may lead, believing ai Seneca once said to Xero: "I hai rather offend thee by truth than pleas( thee by flattery." Our constant effort will be to make this a countv paper in deed and ir truth." With this as our purpose w< shall always endeavor to attain it giving all men. and measures a fail and impartial consideration. We iiav< no axe to grind ourselves, neither dc we propose to turn the stone for am man or men in grinding theirs. Taking up the work where the la't< proprietors left it, we shall keep it at iti already high standard aiming at al times to push it onward and up ware in the journalistic scale. In concluding we most earnest!] invite all good and true citizens of th< county to aid us with their co-opera tion and support in building up thi paper. Without it we can do noth ing. The year 1SSS opens with brighte T>rosr?ects than for many years. Natun X # r - _ has bounteously responded to th< work of the farmer and all other pro fessions have prospered thereby Cheered on by these happy prospects and believing that we shall receivi a hearty support, we shall energeti cally endeavor to make this paper, i journal worthy of the confidence o the people and an honor to the county Paul M. Brice. J as. Q. Davis, Retrospect and Prospect. Quite accidentally there has fallei into our hands an address which wa delivered by Col. John P. Thomas i] 1875 on "South Carolina in Arms Arts and Industries; a View of th< Past, Present and Future of the Com monwealth." The address is published in pam phlet form: it is an erudite and po! ished effort, dealing in part with th \ literature of the State, i:. which it i itself entitled to a permanent place It is impossible to do just-ise to thi \ address in the limited, sphere of ai 4 -editorial article, and it is not our pur ,1 f pose to write anything like a full J review of it; it serves here only to invite us to a brief retrospect?a glance back at the records of the commonwealth which are heroic in the ensemble, as Col. Thomas has abundantly shown. A soldier himself, Col. Thomas speaks of the soldiers of South Carolina with a fervid and fairly classic eloquence. "Honor, therefore, to the ? ho snvs. "officers and men ! Jumivi; j ~?j alike, who in the last war of the State i did their duty. Though no monumental pile, no costly column may rise to attest their loyalty and mark the gratitude of their countrymen, yet will the pen of history do full justice to their matchless gallantry." "Upon fame's eternal camping-ground Their snow-white tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead." i Col. Thomas shows, too, that the popular notion, which is to some extent prevalent, that the State has contributed nothing to the literature of the century is not altogether well founded. lie argaes that while our literature is necessarily in a transition state, that "it may, nevertheless, be claimed that our literary acaievemems. have been neither limited iu number ncr wanting in a considerable degree of excellence." Aud the orator quotes a long list of names already known to fame. Col. Thomas turns aside, as it wore, to pay a just and well-merited tribute to South Carolina's public men. "And it maybe justly observed that few States have been served by so pure and so able a body of statesmen. Entledge, of Roman spirit and heroic mould, and intrepid Gadsden rise before us in native honor clad; and Lowndes, Pinckney, Hayne, Hamilton, McDuffie, Calhoun, Elmore, Butler and Preston are all worthy names. * * * * But to their honor it may be affirmed of them that in public duty they were Hall men, suncrotcned, who lived above the fog,' men who would neither lie nor steal? whom the lust of office could not seduce nor the spoils of office buy." The address, though delivered at a time when public sentiment had almost despaired of the future, is yet Toftaprl if? Ian on acre is Dl'O pbetic. -'Our redemption," says the speaker, "is in our own hands. If we remain true to ourselves, amid corruption, remain incorruptible; keep the whiteness of our souls; prove worthy to be the recipients of the blessings 1 that are to come from the victories of ' the future; if we sagaciously use the ' hands and the brains with which God ' has endowed us, we hold that it is possible for us to establish in South ! Carolina a new civilization stronger, ! purer and better than that which went ! down with the banner of the South' ern Confederacy?one more muscular " and broader based. The elements ot ' this civilization are around and about us. "We have only to seize them rnd > mould them to our high purpose." These were brave words courageons> ly spoken, and the prophecy which thoy embodied has been literally ful; filled. 5 rnu ? nK;oi>rQ(inn thfl f XV0. JL IIC UUliV^IUUlu^ vwov/i VM?. .. ? have around us, the elements of a ' civilization yet higher tbau any that ^ we have ever attained, is a manifest truth; and the fabric of that civilization is even now being reared. 5 Taking into consideration the time that this address was delivered it is 1 all in all a remarkable production? able, polished and patriotic. A Plea for a Prince. True, the Prince of Wales was a little wild in his youth, but even then J he didn't employ many equerries, but - j got in his fine work himself. 'Twas , ; in those days long a^o that he acquired a somewhat false idea of the frivolity 5 and frailty of the American character I upon which these stories are founded, 5 and possibly sowed a few wild outs in , American pastures; but since his s acquaintance with James Gillespie Blaine and Allen Thorndike Rice he t has observed that in the make-up of f the American character virtue is not nficpssariiv divorced irom wit, nor follv joined to inexperience, and Ihe Pnnce has become a very Latter Day 1 paint in his demeanor and attentions ; to American womanhood.--JYew York I Star. ? The observation of the Star is called forth by the alleged refusal of an ? American girl to waltz with bis t lloyal Highness, which the Star says j is a mere hoax, "invented to create enthusiasm in Chicago and to awe r Boston." 3 The Star says a good many nice ) things about the Prince, and then . knocks all his teeth out with the back | handed blow that uhe has become a ?' very Latter Day saint in his demeanor 5 and attentions to American woman1 hood." \ The Latter Day saint is not an orthodox pattern in this hemisphere 7 or George F. Edmunds and a few 3 other people are mistaken. Smiled to Death. There is no force more formidable than ridicule; the smile of contemp! r makes even sacred things look mean, a About two years ago Mr. Tillman e started his "movement" to power; . slowly, at first, the procession traveled, gathering strength as it went. Several conventions were held iu q Columbia, one of which, in the arro. gance of its new-found power, ina suited the Chief Executive of the f State. Everything yielded to the movement, the solid arguments of the opposition?the calm protests of pubi:~ ?wprp swrmt awav like no [ji uwvuww <( w ? -. -c - t chaff before the storm. At last a convention was called, i which was "to inaugurate the princis pies of the new school. With ineri plicable wisd?m it endorsed "the powers that bev and adjom-ucd, and e Mr. Tillman left Columbia in silent . but precipitate haste. Then it wa= that the State smiled from the (,moun. tains to the seaboard." The apostle . of the last pilgrimage had been iinmoQ toted upon the altar of his country's s good, before he had enjoyed that coveted privilege of "meeting the olis garchy at Phillippi." a The smiles of the opposition hac - j destroyed him. < ' n ?p?? What Shall We JD>o ? The problems unsolved in negro suffragehave been placed in the hands of: the Southern States for solution. Our : part now should be and must be to try to solve them wisely and fairly, and with due regard for every personal and public interest concerned in their solution. This, we believe, to be the desire and the determination of the Southern people.?Wetcs and Courier. And what are we going to do about it? The desire to settle these problems i is a'dormant one, and the determina-1 f ?t_ - 1 ~ raf Knf a I tlOl) 01 me peupie nus ?. potential existence; in the meantime the politics of the couutry is rocking along, a sort of a public compromise between what is and what ought to be. It is folly to suppose that things can remain always as they are, a stable equilibrium is an impossibility in nature. The remedy suggests itself to thoughtful minds: is there any salvation for us in a qualified suffrage? Would the material progress of the country or any of the substantial rights of men suffer by such a law? What we want in this country is peace, and the opportunities which it brings to work out our substantial happiness; peace from political struggles and the fear of alien domination. It seems to us that these objects can be achieved only by placing a limitation cn the right of suffrage. Wipe it Away! Within the short space of a year i there have been in South Carolina three crimes committed, which aside from others are the blackest stains upon the fair name of State. First, the killing of Col. J. B. Jones at Newberry; second, the killing of a negro by J. D. Eatterree at Chester; and third, the late affray at Sumter. All of these, be it remembered, occurred in Courts of Justice, the one place of all that should be free from such profanation. In each case some life went out. One case has been finally ~ " " . rc J settled by the acquittal 01 tne onenuer. The others remain to be settled. Looking at them from any standpoint they were all monstrous outrages against civilization and socicty, especially the one in Sumter, where an innocent witness was the victim of the ready pistol. We have no desire to call for the blood of any man, but we do say that the reproach cast upon South Carolina should be speedily wiped away by the infliction of the penalty against such offenders. There is no excuse in the matter. If the Courts of Justice in South Carolina are to be made the battle ground of angry disputants better do away with them at once, and let anarchy reign supreme. Don't! Don't Yoa! Don't You Do It! A week ago I ran up to Chester, It was my first visit in nine vears. The town s'ceins to be at a standstill. Her sidewalks arc in wretched condition. Looking at them, filled with puddles of water and rnud, I could not help being proud of Abbeville. In this respect our town beats them all. In "t- a / __ i T?Avf Deauuiui iiuwci y aiuo jL uit a iv?v..v itself lays Chester entirely in the shade. Chester is ahead in one thing'. She has a barber shop run by a colored woman which is patronized by the best citizens of the place. Fairfield county looked very desolate from, the train. Sbe needs low taxes if any county iu the State docs. She is ahead in one thing, however. She has a Methodist preacher who rides a bicycle.?J?. i?. II. in Abbeville Medium. This is not funny. Tt was quite the part of supererogation, too, for the rural scribe to have told his readers that he doesn't go from home often. It certainly was. Go back to the flower gardens oi Fort Pickens, Bobbie; come out once a year, for it seems that you are a Pharisee as well as a Scribe, and "thank God that you are not as the heathens are," but don't come out to perpetrate any more witticisms. Yon are a faiiare at that. It will make you sadyoasee. , The Architect of Ills Own Fortune. The lale Daniel .Manning, Secretary of the Treasury, was a typical American. His career affords another instance in which genius has carved out its own destiny. He began life as an ! errand boy in a { rihting office, and rose through all the minor gradation to the position of editor-in-chief, lie became also a banker, and it was as one of the most successful financiers in the country that he was invited by President Cleveland to accept the portfolio of the Treasury. He struggled many years with poverty, but his industry, his frugality and his talents triumphed at last, and ' the errand boy of the Albany Argus became an honored member of a Cabinet of "the greatest governmenl that the world has ever seen, fie illustrated the immense possi bilities of American citizenship, ni: death, which occurred but recently, brought messages of condolence f?om | Kings and Queens in every part oJ the eastern hemisphere. Bail .Refused.

Andrew Jackson's Birth-Place. (Aiken Jov. rnal and Hecieic.) A few weeks .igo the Journal and Review published a letter written by Andrew Jackson to Governor Hammond, wherein he referred to South Carolina as his native State. We noted at the time that Parton's "Life of Jackson ' gives North Carolina the credit of being Jackson's birth-place, notwithstanding that Jackson in public speeches and If! tors referred alwavs to South Carolina as liis native State. Goodwin's "Life of Jackson'** says Andrew Jackson was born at Waxaw, in the State oC; South Carolina, on the loth of March,: 17G7. Mr. Parton, in his more eiobo-. rate history claims Union connty, North Caroliua, a3 the place, and he gives a uunaber olaffidavit^to back up _ his statement J?vi The foJowiug letter from Mr. Parton in reference to the subject was received recently by a gentleman -in Aiken: "Dear Sir: Andrew Jackson was born at a place which, at the time, was supposed to be in fh'e State of South Carolina. Some years after, when the boundary line was rectified and fixed by the legislative commission, it was found that the house of the , Jackson's was on the North Carolina side of the line, about 200 yards from South Carolina. This is the explanation of the discrepancy. "Respectfully yours, ''Ja mes Pa rton. " ? The Old Dominion Never Tires.

I live in the midst of the malarial dis- j tricts of Maryland. near the city of ; Washington, and am exposed to all the j dangerous p.cv> of the impure air j and water of riuu region. - 1 Being naturr.!'/ of a strong consti- j tution, I had frco'iciniy boasted that i no chills and iVver or oilier malarious : complaint would ever trouble me. This was n? .,>_ ; i ence ami the condition in i i"o:;..d myself six I ' months ago. I :r.-?t noticed that I did , not feel so spritJ. :y a:w. vigorous as j was my wont to do. 1 Lit tired and j enen*ated. Soon l noticed a distinct \ and distressing jack ache would make i its appearance in the afternoon, in- j creasing in severity if the exercise was j more than usually violent. Then a stretchy feeling with profuse gaping made its appearance. Then my head, always clear as a be?!, would feel heavy and I began to have headaches. The coid stage was marked with chattering of the teeth, severe rigors passed over me, and no amount of clothing could keep me warm. The chill was succeeded in turn by the fever, in which I seemed to be burning up, the congestion in nvv head produced a violent . pain in the frontal portion and a heatted sensation of eyelids, with an indescribable aching of the lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting occurred with severe retchings, and when the paroxysms passed off i was thoroughly prostrated by a weaknesj that was felt in every part of me. r I drugged myself with quinine, and obtained some relief. But my respite jvas of brief duration. 1 was now so much reduced, .hat ! couid hardly walk or stand uprujht. My disease soon culminated in a continued malarial fever which kept in uo.,e! v confined for about a week I h.c.uue exceedingly depressed an ! ' ..u;h >iy. so much so that I lost interest in my work, and, indeed, scarcely cared what happened to me. During all this time, it must be understood that I did not neglect medical treatment. AH the most powerful remedies were tried, such as liquid arsenate of potash, valerianic of iron, mercury, bromide of potassium, chloride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchonidia, quinine and several others. All this I did under the advice of eminent physicians. . It was while T was in this deplorable condition that the claims made for Kaskine, the new quinine, as a specific for malaria, were first brought to mv attention. I knew nothing of its value to justify my having any confidence in it, but as everything else had failed I .'Seemed it my duty to try it. so I began ib.u^e, and its prompt and radical effects were of the nature of a revelation to me.- Many people may think the ;S&teir.ent scarcely- credible, but it is a "Kaskine ail the- leading symptoms in" my case were decictedly abated or 11. .y i _ "'"J"-*. ceasea anogerner; ana in a lew weess -from tile time I took the first- dose I was cured.
