Beaty & Bro.'s store, "We now occupy three commodious, well-lighted rooms. The first is the composing, the second the press, and the third is the sanctum. Owing to necessity we were unable to ' - x ? ?? vvnf ! gei out a paper omuiuajr, um uvi\<- , after we will always get there. % We j hope everybody having business with ihe paper will notice the fact of our removal. Unclaimed Letters.?The following is a list of letters remaining in the Postoffice at Winnsboro, S. C., January 16, 1887: "W. R. Cannon, Rachel Chatman, W. P. Dixon, Osbon H. Ford, Rev. T. M. Freeman, R. T. Gladden, Frank Ramsier, "Willie Robinson, Chas. "W. Rosebough, Miss Lizzie Young. Persons calling for any of the above letters will please say they were advertised. DuBose Egleston.

Mrs. Phcebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay county, Iowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched, for by the residents of the town: "I am 73 years old, have been troubled with kidney . complaint and lamenees for many years; : could not dress myself without help. Now I am free from all pain and soreness, and am able to do all my own housework. I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters for having renewed my youth, and removed , completely all disease and-pain." Try a ' bottle, only 50 cents at McMaster, Brice & K etchin's Drug Store. * ?s Death.?Mrs. Mary A. Aiken died at her home in Chester county on Saturday morning, 7th inst., ot pneumoDia. Mrs. Aiken vres the wife of Mr. James "W Aiken, and a sister of Mrs. John H. Neil, of White Oak. She was born and raised in Fairfield i county. She was married and moved ; to Chester county about fifteen years | ago. She leaves a husband, one child j and a host of relatives and friends ; both in Chester and Fairfield counties ! to mourn her untimely loss. Her j remains were interred in the Hopewell burying grounds on Sunday morning. ? j Weather.?The man who mauuj factures the daily weather supply has j been considerably off here of late, j Heretofore, as the vulgar would say, he has been getting- there with botto feet, but for some time he has been a delusion and a snare. For instance, he has headed down this way recently two or three able-bodied cold wave3, but just about time they were to get in their work, a warm Southern breeze would come along and knock the spots out of them. Again he would start a batch of clear weather on the way, but just about time the doors were opened ! one of these dreary, drizzly, slushy winter rains would rush in and secure the reserve seat ahead of them and vice versa.. On the whole, however, he has succeeded pretty well in making life miserable with what he did send lately, but we hope his supply of this sort is about exhausted. .Trade Statistics.?Here are some statistics as to the business in Wiunsboro as shown by the books of the railroad agent: Number of bales of cotton received during season of 1S86, 8^527 Number in 1S87 11,142, Increase 3,615 There has been received siuce January 1: 12 carloads of mules or 240 mules. 1 carload Texas ponies. 100 barrels kerosene oil from Standard Oil ComDanv. 400 sacks meal. 1500 bushels oat?, 1000 bushels corn. 1 carload of flour. Besides cotton there has been shipped from this place: 2 carloads of monumental stone. 3 carloads rough stone. Not as much cotton seed has been shipped this season as in 1886?about ' 10 carloads or 10,000 bushels. Desportes & Edmonds. We clip from the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier the ' following: ' Some months ago, when Capt. R. S. Desportes became thoroughly interest ed in the speedy deveiopmeni 01 ine i Columbia Canal and the projected Columbia mills, he. decided that he would give his whole attention to this work and give up his connection with the large dry goods establishment a I which he was the head, known as J, Desportes & Edmunds. The dissolution of partnership has just been completed, and the business will hereafter 1 be conducted by Mr. Ii. H. Edmunds, j Jr. Capt. Desportes is a gentleman of ample means, and is one of the most progressive busines men in J Columbia. Capt. Desportes is well known in ] Fairfield, where he has spent most of days. ' * He retnrned home after the surrender and with a small capital opened a 1 busiuess at Ridgeway. By -industry, pluck, economy and a strict attention tn hnsinARs he orraduallv accumulated property until it became necessary for ] him .to seek a wider field of operations. < He chose -Columbia, and has been i engaged in the dry goods business in ] that city ever since. ] Eminently successful in all his business enterprises, he retires from the i mercantile business with ample means < to select an occupation more suitable i to nis tastes in the presidency of the { Columbia mills. We wish him success in his new undertaking. ? Mr. Edmunds, who succeeds Des- ( portes & Edmunds, is also from Fair- , field, and we predict for him a pros- ^ perous continuance of a business he * has contributed so much towards . establishing. % ? j A7t IXTERESTIXC- LETTER. ( The following letter has been re- < ceived by the postmaster here: Salt Lake City, Jan. 4,188S. < Dear Sir?Pardon a stranger for j asking of you a favor. In the sum- , mer of 1865 I (then with my Regi- 1 ment, the 102d U. S. C. T., stationed } at your town) was detailed as Provost ( Judge for Fairfield county. While acting in that capacity I made many ^ pleasant acquaintances of yonr towns- ( men of that date, among whom none f attracted me more than Col. James i Kion. We had many interesting- ana | ( pleasant conversations together, and | ^ daring the years that have passed ] since those evei'tfal days, I have often , hoped to revisit ihe scenes and friends of that far off time, bat have failed to ! find opportunity. . ^ Aboat a year ago, while editing a . daily paper in Utah, I saw in a Nevada paper a notice of the death of Col. , Riou. I was strangely moved, and I have thought often" and long of the Colonel and of his many virtues. I thought of writing to his (then) wife with whom I had no acquaintance, but remember her as she stood by his side at his fine mansion, while he i waved me farewell as our Regiment ^ left "Winnsboro for New York. But as the ladies of the South felt no ,J special -kindness for ns of the "blue" ' at that time, I feared that any comrnu- ' nicatiou from me might be unwelcome, I have delayed writing until the . present. Can you kindly inform mc | of auv particulars or give me any i1 printed matter relating to one Whom when living I felt I had a right to call; "my friend," and for whom I mourn : as for a true soldier and gentleman. I I also have pleasant memories of my j associate judges, Messrs. Thompson and (I think) McClanahan. .(Perhaps . I am- mistaken in spelling the last name.) Any information you -may obligingly give me with regard to them will be grea*lv appreciated. I trust you will pardon the .liberty I am taking with your time and atten-1 tion,. but I know of 110 other way to obtain the information I greatly"desire.

N'lilPORTE. IT EJUS FROM JEXKIXS VILLE. As I hardly ever see anything in print from this, the southwestern section of the county, and wishing mucb. success to the new editors of The News and Herald, I thought that I would send you a few dots to let you know what our people are uoing. I am informed that the railroad business done at Alston will soon be transferred to Peak Station, which will very much inconvenience the people on this side of the river. Mr. T. P. Yonnginer has nearly completed his new dwelling. The people regret very much that Mr. J. S. Swyggert's mercantile business has been suspended. Miss Mary Wood, of Charleston, is visiting Mrs. W. H. ltuff. There was a sociable at Miss Mary Chappells on Monday night, given in honor of the Misses Luthers, of Prosperity. Rogues are becoming quite bold in this section, especially among the chickens. We wish you much success. B. LIXKS FROM IjTLES'S FORD. Another new year has dawned upon us, and with increasiug gladness we humbly return thanks for the many blessings received in' the past, and with the hope of another golden harvest we have put on our shield and buckler to make a good fight in the race just set before us. The flush times of Christmas has past and business has put on a dull aspect-! Mr. E. B. Roberts, of this place, and brother, Mr. Nathan Roberts, of the [ Horeb, left on Monday last for an extended tour through, the Western States. Not for the purpose of emigrating but simply for health and pleasure. Mr. A. L. Ederington contemplates a business trip to Texas soon. Mr. Thos. W. Traylorhas purchased Henderson'-s Isand for the purpose of carrying on an extensive stock farm. [ hope our moneyed men will turn their attention in the future to this rery important industry. Why can't we raise stock as successfully here as rr? V* o fO V ?1I J >Y UVi V/ Mrs. S. L. Poellintz and daughter, Alabama, are visiting at Capt. T. M. Lyles's. May they have a pleasant sojourn. Rumor says there will be a few weddings in and around here shortly. "We wish The Heiuld a prosperous md pleasant new year. x. v. STB A WS FB OMSTJIO TREB.' What- has become of your correspondent from this section of the jountv? We meekly scan your col amns hoping for #'items" from "Old Fogy," but he is silent. The new year J as openuu uuuui lavuiaui^ auo^iwo. | We were blessed with good crops and [ nany of oar farmers paid the debts >f."last year, and hundreds of dollars ffhich they "fell back" the most disastrous year of 'So. Scott Boyce, one of Mr. G. B. Fear;on's croppers, made eighteen bales of ;otton and" over a hundred bushels of :orn. He planted entirely on the low grounds, and the high waters and bnd ivorms prevented his making an averige corn crop. As far as your correspondent can udge, Christmas was poorly celebrated n our section. The time of the com rifimnration of the wonderful mvsterv )f "The Word Made Flesh," should :>e celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. A gloom has Deen cast over our neighborhood by that lamentable shooting affair in Sumter. Mr. Elaynesworth was well known and universally beloved. How sad that 3is brave* spirit should have been ashered into eternity by men blinded, Dr reckless from their angry passions. His war record was so honorable, and ihen to die an innocent victim I Then Dur hearts are full for his sorrowing sisters, brother, and those dear little ooys- who have been deprived of so 3evoted a father. Your editorial on the lawlessness which has been extdbited in offices of trial jastices expresses the exact truth. g,We are having most unseasonable sveather, warm enough for April, and Lhose who have recently killed hogs ire in fear and trembling. We wish our county paper every success under the new regime. V. A? . WORDS FROM WOODWARD. We are on a boom here, a new store and a new depot are finishing up, and rumor says we are to have a large livery and feed stable soon. Wiunsboro will'have to be up and doing or we will have the first cotton factory. We see some of our neighboring towns boasting of the number of bales of cotton bought this season. One store at this place has bourht over 3,000 bales since September 1, 188/. So it is plainly to be seen that we have the cotton for a factory, if we only had the factorj'. We invite capitalists to | investigate the" facility at our place ! for a factory before investing. Oar i town is jast about the size of New i York, but we have a few more vacant; lots. * Well, the old year is gone and anew i one fairly started, and the average j "colored gentleman" is nosing around to see where lie can get nis "lean." Hold up. brother farmers, don't buy this year with the expectation of making as mach as you did last, for you might not do so. Always buy as though you were-going to make a short crop, and then if you make a good one you will have the more ready cash. The chief products of our little town at present are red mud and "drummers," principally "drummers," but .* - a we always iiKe to see tnem arounu, they are so nice, just like a candidate for the office of coroner. We are very sorry that onr efficient county auditor was not elected te the office of Comptroller General. Ke would have made a faithful officer. "We.have no marriages to report at this writing, but judging from the muddy shoes and sleepy looks of some of our young men, we will have the pleasure of reporting some soon. Messrs. L. C. Caldwell and W. B. Douglass, of Statesville, N. C., paid our town allying visit a few days ago. We were pleased to see them looking so well, and cannot but hope that the bracing mountain air and "dew" will have the same good effect upon our friend Mr. W. L. Timmons, who has so lately* made his home there. Messrs. Editors, wishing you much success in your new enterprise, and long life and prosperity, we close. c. & D Fall Drought on the Yield of Cotton. ARTICLE ONE. Messrs. Editors: A.s experience and observation are our best iustrnciors in all things, I will givj \ jrief statement from my observation of two dry falls on the yield of coitou. My notice wa-s first brought to it as far back as the year 1839, when we experienced au3 unprecedented drought of nine weeks. It did not rain from the latter part of August to. the first week in November. I will premise by stating I was actively engaged in the practice of medicine, and as I was employed generally by the farmers living in what is now called Jenkinsville township and for some time residing beyond its boundary, I had the opportunity of seeing the cotton planted near the public roads, and also to hear the farmers express their opinions as to llie \ML?Cl IDS piuiiautcu uivu^ui. would have on the growing cotton crop. They were unanimous in their decisions that the crop would be greatly lessened in yield, yet it was the largest crop that had ever been made in this county and I think throughout the State up to that year. I also remember that one of the largest and best farmers living in my immediate vicinity said often that "the yield of cotton would be greatly reduced, made fifteen bales more than he ever had on about the same number of acres annually planted. The above statement with my notice of another protracted dry fall with subsequent ones not so long, has proved to me conclusively that after the 20th or 25th of August, if the earth is in a seasonable condition, we need no more rain for cotton. I will resume the subject in my next ' * * ^ article, ana reiaie me enect a si-x. week's droasfht had on the cotton crop in the fall of 1849. j. ir. g. "Wallaceville, S, C., Jau., 12, 1S88.
