Hold Your Cotton Seed.?We
would advise our farmers not to sell
their cotton seed. Last year, as well
as the year before, many were forced
' - i i
to sell their cotton seed on account of;
short crop's. This year, however, the j
crops have been better, and instead of j
disposing of the seed to the oil mills ;
they should be returned to the soil as j
a fertilizer. All good farmers will j
tell you, if you do not know it, that:

Quite a concourse of the friends of the

| Escaped.?Henry Warren, the white
i man convicted of adultery at the last
term of the Court for this county, and
; sentenced to one \ear in the peniten|
tiary, has escaped from that institu:
lion, lie was employed about the
| stables, and was classed among those
j known to the officials as -"trustys."
! One night last week he failed to tun:
' up as usual to be locked in for the
| night. Pursuit was given and he was
! caught up with about eleven miles
I north of Columbia, and .when seen
j made a dash for continued liberty and
was fired on by the guard, but withotit
[ effect. lie will doubtless be "bagged,'*'
! and sent back to serve out the remainder
of his sentence.
Fatal* Accident.?On Monday
rao rnimr a fatal accident occurred on
the plantation of Mr. llilliard Wylie,
| near town. From what we can gether
! the following are the facts In regard
to the accident: Two colored boys
aged twelve and three years respectively,
were left at home by themselves,
and during the absence of the parents
the older of the two got a pistol in the
house, (which, by the way, it is claimed
was not known by the parents,)
I and going out of the bouse was followed
bv the vounger. When in the
=>
yard the boy attempted to fire ihe
pistol, biU the hammer would not
stand. After several attempts to fire
it, the hammer slipped from the finger i
of the boy, and the ballet was buried
in the brain of the younger brother.
The coroner, with a physician, went
to the scene of the accident on Monday,
and held an inquest. A verdict was
rendered in accordance with the above
facts. This is another lesson in regard
to the loose handling of fire arms.

Mrs. Jno. II. Cathcart and family

the part of the colored population at
eight, leaving several months rent in

Personal.?Mr. Vv". L. Tiramcns
and family left on Saturday for Statesville,
N. C., where* they will make
their future home. Mr. Timmons is a
sterling young man, well and favorably
known in Winnsboro and the
county. He has been engaged in
merchandising in this county for
several years. All his friends and
acquaintances will regret the departure
of him and his wife and family
from Fairfield. Not wishing him any
harm, we hope he won't stay long.
He will engage'in merchandise with

in the county.
The Verdict Unanimous.
V>" I). Suit. Dry agist, Bippus, Ind., testifies:
'-I can recommend Electric Bitters
as the very uc> remedy. Even,- bottle
sold has given relief in every case. One
man took six bottles, and was cured of
Rheumatism of ten years' standing."
Abraham Ilare, Druggist, Bellville, Ohio,
aflirms: "The best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my twenty years' experience,
is Electric Bitters." * Thousands of
oihers have added their testimony, so that
the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit-1
ters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys
or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle |

i . |
A Xf.eded Ciian'ge.?We were forcibly
impressed with the fact on the
occasion of the fire on Wednesday
I morning, that the engine should be
; drawn by horses- It takes some lime
| for the bell to alarm the people, and it j
j takes farther time for them to assem- j
ble. In the meantime the fire is i
raging. After the engine is taken out, I
i there are usually not more than twenty j
iiiuu piesem, iinu uaujiug a ueuvy
j engine like the one we have is a most
| laborious job, especially when it is
| dragged through mud over ankle
j deep. The progress is necessarily
| slow, and when wooden buildings are
! in danger the fire is correspondingly J
I fast. It is therefore apparent that if
j faster locomotion can be obtained, it !
j becoinos the duty of the people to
i have it. The Town Council now owns
; two strong mules, which are used for
I draying and other purposes. Why
i cannot these be brought into service to
haul the engine? The cost would
| amount to very little more, and even if
j it did the saving that would accrue
J would amply compensate for it. If
! these animaio were stabled in the j
| building now occupied by the engine, i
| during the night, they could imme-!
! diatelv be brought into service in
j * w
i hauling the engine to fires. In davj
light enough men can be found to pull
i the engine immediately, and there i
; would be 110 need of the mules if they j
! were otherwise engaged. It is dif- j
j l'erent at night, and we suggest that!
j the Council give this matter iheir i
! earliest codsideration.

Christinas Festivities. ^
The Christmas festevities were (
opened on Friday night at Boag's
Opera House, where the children ^
enjoyed themselves at a Christmas ?
tree. For some cause, probably the s
weather, there was a very slim attend- *
ance, but those present enjoyed them- j
selves. Many presents were on hand for t
distribution, but owing to the lack of s
recipients not half were distributed. ]
The entertainment opened with a song
beautifully, rendered by a dozen or {
more small girls, after which there s
was instrumental music. Then came [
the great part of the evening when j
Santa Claus appeared and delivered ]
the presents. 1
Saturday was a most disagreeable J
day, but notwithstanding this there
was a large crowd in town, and all \
merchants did a most gratifying busi- t
ness. Had the day been pleasant, s
trade would undoubtedly have been j
the largest in ten years. As it was, (
however, everybody was satisfied. I
The crowd was comparatively orderly, *
although the police force made several
arrests, mostly for intoxication.
On Sunday services were held in
mnst all of thft churches. the services
baring special reference to the day. |
Monday, by common consent, was 7
set aside as Christmas day, and most <;
of tbe business bouses were closed.
The streets were thronged all day
by happy crowds, and the small boys t
kept up an incessant din with fire 1
works. There was nothing of special J
note in the amusement line ?until the
afternoon. A large crowd in bnggies, J
on horseback, on foot and every other '
sort of conveyance repaired to the t
race track, a mile below town, where 'J
several races among county raised
horses took place. This was a most
enjoyable entertainment, and the crowd
was in its best humor.

town settled down to their normal

A "Woman's Discovery.
"Another wonderful discovery has been !
made and that too by a lady in this county. !
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tssts, but" her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed incessantly and
could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle .
of Dr Kings's New Discovery for Con- 1
sumption and was so much relieved on 1
taking first dose that she slept all night,
and with one bottle has been miracui.Iouslv

f he was viewing the surrounding' ,

iny little canary bird sitting upon a ;
similar shaft at the other extremity of;

wo birds may have been the romantic
