ADVICE TO MOTHJERS.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer
-at once; it produces natural, guiet sleep
by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as "blight as a button."
It is very pleasanl to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for
diarrhoea, whether arising from teething 01
other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.

The Pension Law?Messrs. Bennett
& McGowan, attorneys, of
Laurens county, have applied
to the Supreme Court for a mandamus
to compel the Board of Pensioners to
issue a pension to a lady of that county.
It seems that the husband of the lady
was killed during the war, that she
afterwards married, aud now her
. second husband is dead. The question
now io be decided is whether she,
being a widow of i. second husband,
is entitled to a pension as the
widow of the first.
Two "Ways.?We learn that the
cotton of Messrs. Doty & Walker,
which was considerably damaged by
the hail, did not improve as they had
expected, and they now regret that
they did not plant over. They should
have made the gigantic "straddle"
which our esteemed fellow-townsman,
Mr. II.. L. Elliott, made by leaving the
damaged cotton, and also planting
again in the middle of the rows. He
found the. sccond planting- the best,
and, therefore, ploughed out the other.
A good idea.
Hard on the Manager.?"They"

Insurance ''Rates.?The Southern
Tariff. Asociation of Insurance has
jc- concluded a session at Fortress
Monroe. At its meeting, a reduction
of ten per cent, in the rate charged on,
mercantile risks was given to Columbia
on account of the new fire alarm
system of the city. Right here we
might mention that the rates in "Winnsboro
we learn are considerably higher
than those charged in other towns of
the State with much inferior fire departments.
It might be well for our
business men to follow the example
of our Columbia friends and send in a
petition for reduction.
Building Improvements.?Mr. Jas.
Turner will soon commence to build
three granite ttore-houses on the lots
at the corner of Congress and Liberty
streets These lots were formerly occupied
by-buildings which were burned
at the late disastrous fire. The buildings,
when completed, will be of the
most approved modern style, and will
add much to the general business appearance
of Winnsboro. One of these
stores will be ready for occupancy by
September 15, and the others will
shortly be available. The moral to be
drawn from this transaction is, that
the people of Fairfield county have
abundant evidence that Winnsboro is
the town par excellence for investment.
This is shown by Mr. Turner's
rebuilding, even in better style, the
buildings lately burned.

there being something over a hundred
spectators gathered on the improvised
seats which the locai association had

During the sixth inning Meetze was

Secrets Exposed. -Ye homble news
gatherer in his rounds on Wednesday
drew Ihe capital prizo in the newspaper
lottery, and will now present to
the public the prize which he drew in
the shape of the form of "nesiation" of
a new secret club which was given
birth in our midst not long since. It
was a lucky draw, and here goes ver
batim et literatim that portion 01 tne
constitution relating 1:0 the admission
of new members:
The committee on nesiation meets
the would be member at the door Asks
Jiim if' he is ready to receive his nesiation
If so he receives his entranse
fee then blind folds hiim & escorts him
to a plase for examination.
After "
then take off his outei' clothing & proceed
to black him which must be dnnn
by the committee of nesiation. He is
then but in a position so each member
can with a paddle giva him 'the right
hand of fellowship. Next thing fix
the patient so'you can pretend to cut
him open & draw a piece of ice over
his belly. Next tie a rope around the
victims neck & ask bim to say his
prayers before he leaves this world,
when this is done Ask him all the fool
questions any of the club wishes. Next
take off the rope & thti president will
pronounce the victim a mem of the
B. S. C. continue this until all is nesiated.
Each member must keep quiet
while these solemn duiys is performed.
And most keep e^ery thing to himjedf
the member must not tel any
thing about his nesiation.
Gitizens of a prognosticating nature interpret
the name of this secret organization
to be the "Blamed Shoel Crowd."
We are in ignorance and will leave the
solution of this important question to
an impartial public.

reviewed in well-chosen * words the
glorious history of the Palmetto State,
and alluded to her famons sons and
their noble achievements. Continuing,
he outlined the future prospects of the
State, its undeveloped manufacturing
possibilities and mining riches. He
urged upon the graduates from the
South Carolina College that it was
their special duty and privilege to advertise
the knowledge of the State's
advantages, and to aid to intelligently
develop them. He alluded to the incubus
of the black population, and
could see no remedy but lh colonization,
or in their education to the poinl
where realizing their inferiority they
would cease to dream of social equality
or anything approaching it. He
dwelt with emphasis on what Soutt
Carolinians owed to the fair daughters
of their State, and paid them a- higl
tribute, while mentioning in passing
that he was no advocate of woman']

The crop reports to the Agricultural .
Department have made too high an es- "
timate, as usual, for the present crop, .
I think. I notice that sozse of our
farmers have of late seen the necessity
and have turned their attention to the
improvement-of their almost exhaust- '
ed lands. For this purpose the field
pea is the cheapest, and best fertilizer
fortheSonth. It is not too late to .
sow down their stubble fields in that
fertilizer, or to plant in rows. As a
preventive to washing away our hilly
and undulating lands, some few have
succeeded, and all should,adopt the 1
same system: V
