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,

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. %

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.

THE SUXTEB TRAGEDY.
Messrs. Editors: I wish to thank
yon for yonr timely article on the
* r*i , TTTT 2. ~
recent outrage in tne ataie. >y uat a
mistaken idea of honor it is, that leads
men to resort to the use of fire-arms
to redress wrong, and oh! the agony
their use invariably brings to the
innocent! The tragedy in Sumter
was peculiarly appalling! The victim,
one of the most honorable, true and
brave citizens in the State, who had
served her faithfully in war and peace.
We, who know his family, can realize
their grief at being so cruelly deprived
of father and brother, tnd join with
you in hoping this false code may be
"wiped away" ere other hearts are
called to mourn.

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

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

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

jountv? We meekly scan your col

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

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.

We wish our county paper every

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.

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

Worth Knowings
Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fla., was taken with a severe Cold,
attended with a distressing Cou^li and
running into ^oasuuupuuu m n-o uu?
stages. He tried many so-called popular
cough remedies and steadily grew worse.
"Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in
breathing and was unable to sleep. Fin- .
ally tried Dr. Kind's New Discovery for
Consumptiou and found immediate relief,
and after using about a half dozen bottles
found himself* well and has had no return
of the disease. No other remedy can show
so grand a record of cures, as Dr. King's
