The Effect of the Trust.-'?The reccnl combination of bagging dealers, resulting-in a '-'trust," is pushing up the price to such an extent that farmer.; arc wanting to get up some other way of covering cotton. Bagging in Winusbcro now sells for 13 to 14 cents, which is an increase of about o cents. The farmers ought to resist these extortionate prices, and we think in their organised capacity as an Alliance they should take some steps to relieve themselves. What acti on is necessarv wc do not know, but they being familiar with the subject ;an probably devise some scheme. y iKRiED.?The Columbia Daily Eecord of August 2S, says: There was a quiet wedding at the residence cf the'Kev.

Death.?The Rock Hill Herald says: Information has been received here of the death of Mrs. Janie P. Means, which occurred at the house of her son-in-law, Dr. T. M.. DuBose, at !

She was the ! widow of the late Beverly Means, of | Fairfield, of which county she was a i native. A most excellent christian lady, a good neighbor, zealous friend, i and most devoted mother has gone \ down to the grave. The above announcement will be ; sad news to the many frieuds and relaJ tives of Mrs. Means in this county. ; She lived in Winnsboro for years, j where she had endeared herself to a large number of friends. A Nsv; Fnor.?A new firm, coin-' posed of Messrs. J. W. Seigler and J. J. Gerig, will commence business in town about the 12th of September, under the firm-name of J. J. Gerig & Co. They will deal in .furniture, and will occupy the store now used by "YV. JK. Doty & Co. Mr. Seigler left for Nc.w York on Monday to purchase the stock, and they expect to make things hum in the furniture line. Mr. Ssigie:-, while a partner in the new linn, will still retain his interest in the hardware store of Gerig & Seigler. "We bespeak for the new una a liberal patronage which we know they will receive if low prices and good quality will secure it. Head what they say in their advertising space. A Warning. j The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu1 sively that more persons die from dis! eases' of the Throat and Lungs than i any other. It is probable that every I one, without exception, revives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the svstem, and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life arid develop, at iirst slowly, and is ; shown bv a'slignt tickling sensation in (| the throat, and if allowed to continue ' | their ravages they extend to the lungs, ' i producing* Consumption, and to the : head, causing Catarrh. Now all this ;; is dangerous, and if allowed to pro. | coed will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness: vj allowing a. cold to go without attention - j is dangerous and may lose your life. - ; As soon as you feel that something is , ! wrong with your Throat, Lungs, or Xostriis, obtain a bottle of Boschee:s ; German Syrup. It will give you im? ; mediate relief. " " * i yr'iikke to Come.~"Wc are just now | on the verge of another harvest season, ; and from what we can learn a good cotton crop will be marketed. Last fill there was some little complaint as to the condition of certain roads and bridges in the county, and while perhaps our officers charged with the superintendence of the same were criticised, and as a conscquence some of the cotton which should have been marketed here did not come, we hear of but few complaints at present, and these will doubtless soon be remedied, and Vvinnsboro should receive a larger number of bales than for many years. We have a number of cotton merchants who are alive to their business, and will pay the highest market price for the staple, while our merchants are preparing to present' to the public one of the largest stocks of goods ever brought to this market, and at as low prices as can be found anywhere. So bring in your cotton, get a good price,, and if you need goods call on our en-1 terprising merchants, and we guaran- j tee you will be satislied. .

II iSiiWivons' Meeting.?T^e Survivors Association expected to meet in the Court House on Saturday, at 12 o'clockj_lui owing to the length ot the session of the County Convention the meeting was not called to order by the President. Co!. Jno. B. Davis, until about 3 o'clock. There was a gootl attendance of survivors and friends when the President introduced the orator of the day, Gen. Edward McCrady, of Charleston. Gen. McCracly arose and began his address, which he read from manuscript entire JV. XJIS auuiw^ ittaicu i/vui ?%u iiuui, and was a most magnificent effort. Owing to the historical research displayed in the address and its richness in delineating the heroism of the soldiers of the Confederacy we feel that a synopsis of this excellent address would be inadequate. At some future time the address will be published in pamphlet form. Gen. McCrady made a most favorable impression in Winnsboro, and the general desire is to have hirn with us again. His old comrades ^in arms were of course especially delighted to meet him again. At the close of his A.'lrlvAPf. +V*/\ A a."viC/Oo tiav xicou^iauvu jjaoouu A LOV^U lions of thanks to Gcu.

Hogan and his son were walking on the public road, which passes in front of his house, and when within twenty steps of his gate, some one stepped from concedment and fired a gunshot at bis back, which wounded him severely. The wouldbe assassin then turned and ran. Capt. Hogan soon recovered from the shock and fired his pistol several times at the retreatirg mail, but without effect. The wound being quiie severere Capt. HoVi?f? V^rvnnoli/1 in T*ilr\ tVCUL lilO uvuov Miiu i<u a/?* Campbell and also telegraphed to Dr. Hauahan at Winnsboro, who went to bis relief. The bullet struck him in the back, glanced upward and lodged under the shoulder blade. "Wild rumors were afloat in "Winnsboro concerning the affair, the statement beiDg made tbat Capt. Hogan had been shot through and through and that his death was imminent. The wound, which is quite severe and dangerous, is not necessarily fatal, and at last accounts Capt. Hogan was doing as well as possible under the circumstances. This is certainly the most dastardly and cowardly outrage ever commuted in Fairfield county. Capt. Hogan, when shot, cried to some one that "Charlie Hoffman has shot me in the back," and on the strength of his belief warrants were issued for Mr. P. Hoffman and his sons, Jack, Butler, and Charlie, and they were arrested and arraigned before Trial Justice Hood. Messrs. P. and Butler Hoffman were released on bail in the sum of $300 and Charles and Jack were sent to "Wmnsboro on Saturday and lodged in jail. Great indignation has been justly expressed at the attempted assassination by whomsoever done, and a thorough investigation will be had. A reporter of Tiie .News and Herald visited the jaii on Monday and found Messrs. Jack aHd Charlie Hoffman in the best of spirits, although deeply rcgrettiDg that they had been placed in their present position.

Few. people in Winusboro realize the fact that we have in our midst two ; manufacturing enterprises, which, although of comparatively smail beginning, bid fair to assume greater proportions. These two are the Elliott Gin Manufacturing Company and the "Winnsboro "VYogon Company. Believing that some facts concerning these two manutactunng estaolisnments would be of interest to our readers, The News and Herald reporter visited both on Wednesday. The result of Iiis observations is herewith presented: ELLIOTT GIN COMPANY. This factory conducts its operations, as is well known, at the shop of J. M. Elliott, Sr., who has for a long time been engaged in the business of manufacturing gins. In this shop are found all the necessary implcmevitsand machinery for ti e successful prosecution of the work. The company has a stationery engine in the yard adjacent and a small jjprjght one in the building, the steam for which is supplied from the engine in the yard. This upright engine can be worked or shut olT at pleasure. Eleven hands are employed at present, and they are kept quite busy with the work on hand. The gins made at the factory are as good, ifnot superior to any other 01: the market. They arc made of heavier timbers than formerly used, and are thoroughly bolted together. One ot the superior features about them is a condenser,- the invention of Mr. Elliott himself, and only made by this companjr. As compared vri!h other condensers il i* the simplest yet devised. Having but little machinery about it, it is less liable to get out of order, and does not pack the cotton and give it that wadded appearance as is seen in other condensers. Added to this the general finish is equal lo that of any other gin manufactured. A detailed description of all the I * %/* /yi? k/i -p^lW yji ^111 U^UllUt W UxlU jucging from the established reputation of the Elliott gin, and the improvements made on it, farmers can rest assured that in purchasing this 'gin they not only get the best, but they . get them .it a price that cannot be duplicated by foreign manufacturers. "We learn from the manager that already orders have been received for a number of gins, and that agencies have been established over the cotton growing section of the State. There has ?

Tae number of new gins sold during the season has been most cnecuraging j to this new enterprise. On the whole I we think this manufactory is destined i to be not only a successful, but a very j large establishment. WINNSBORO "WAGON COMPANY. We are glad to slate that Hits infant j industry is growing and prospering, j Their store and shop are situated on j Congress street. In their factory, j which Is a two-story frame building, with additions on cither side ot the main building, car. be seen tools and machinery o? every description for! wood and iron work. Among the j machinery which attracts the attention j is an engine, handsaw, rip-saw, two plainers, engine-lathe, and others! too numerous to mention. Connected j with tfce factory is a blacksmith shop, i This factory at present employs eight hands in the shop, and its success is wonderful when its recent origin is considei-cd. On Saturday 8 wagons of its manufacture were sold, and nKnnf IS i>n<yrr:ne nf vo finite Irillflc ViavP been disposed of sincc the inauguration of the factory. The second story is used for painting and trimming. Mr. J. H. Sossman superintends this department. He is said to be one of the best painters and trimmers in the South, which his work abundantly proves. Besides the workshop the company owns a store in which is kept hardware and various supplies in the buggy and wagon line. From one of the proprietors we learned that they have five buggies about finished, for which a ready sale will be obtained. Besides manufacturing, all kiuds of repairing is done, ar.d this is no inconsiderable part of the business. Judging from appearances we believe ai 110 distant day the people of Fairfield will use only the wagons and buggies of the Wimisboro ?Wagon Company, for they are live and progressive, and sell the best goods at prices thai will insure patronage. "We think the people of Winnsboro should be rejoiced, for these two enterprises mark the be-1 ginning of a new development in our j industrial progress. items fr02z i'eastsiivizze. \ \ We have been having some very dry j I weather, which has a tendency to ' make cotton open very rapidly.

Mr. Editor: Please permit n<? to j - it. 11- it v 7 say lo me puouc inrougu me coiumus of your paper that we repel the accusation made against us in the Sunday issue of the News and Courier as an atrocious slander, withont the semblance of evidence to sustain it. The reporter of that paper, who is responsible for the article, approaches much nearer to the lottery of assassination than he can ever hope to bring cilher of us. For the sake of a coveted "sensational," he would ruin a man, damn his family, and despise every suggestion of proof. An unworthy news-gather, a liar for hire, a disgrace to his profession, we feel assured that the reputation of the Hoffman family in this county, is beyond Ms reach. We beg leave further, to say to all fair minded men that we hold ourcftlTOe ntfprlv inmnnhlp nf fYf,flr?n<r to any one aggrieved at our conduct, anything less than a free, fair and open fight", and we hope that we will not be, judged in this matter until we have* been heard. If Eogan had been shot at midnight when he could not see Ms hand before him, his first exclamation under the circumstences would doubtless have been lioifman!
