Extensive use of Ayer's JEIair Vigor has proven that it is the best cleansing agent for the hair?that it prevents dandruff and stimulates the hair to renewed growth. * The Youngest Electok.?The correspondent of the Register, writing from this place says: "In several papers has appeared the announcement that Col. Juo. T. Sloan, Jr., of Columbia, is the youngest elector-at-large ever nominated by the Democrats of South Carolina. While we would accord to Mr. Sloan every distinction to which he is entitled, we deny him this, as the Hon. Chas. A. Douglass who was elected by far the largest vote in the State Convention to represent the Democracy of Carolina, is ten years Col. Sloan's* junior. Fairfield county is proud of the fact that he headed the ticket by so handsome a; majority, as she regards him one of her favored sons, who has ever done his duty with ability and honor in every j position she has called him to occupy."

Besides these there are I merchants in Winnsboro who bay cotton in connection with theft: other business. Ail the buyers have abundant mone3r, and Winnsboro will be found as ?ood a market as auywhere else. Neither Columbia or Charlotte give better prices, and as far as purchasing what is wanted is concerned, we repeat that the merchants of Winnsboro have a larger stock to select from than Jias ever been brought to this county. The advantages for trade offered by Winnsboro cannot be surpassed. A2s*>tversakt Celebration.?The Hot Springs Daily News says: "Yesterday (Oct. 3) was the fifth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. J. Howard uarpenter, or me First Baptist church. Their friends were invited to call and spend a few hours with them. The occasion was one of much pleasure both to the popular youug pastor and his wife, and the large circle of friends who called upon thfcui and paid their respects. All those who called showed their esteem of the brilliant young minister and his good wife by presenting them with handsome presents, considerable cash being mixed with other nice presents." Here follows a long list of presents ranging from a $50 suit of clothes for Mr. Carpenter, besides many presents innumerable for his wife to a cord of wood and a wheelbarrow. Mr. Carpenter and wife entertained most royally the large circle of friends who assembled to celebrate the anniversary. ?"For years I suffered from loss of appetite ana indigestion, but failed to find relief until I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine entirely cured me. My appetite and digestion are now perfect"?Fred G. Bower, 496 Seventh St., South Boston, Mass. * The Freight Depot.? Nomerous complaints are being made about the great lack of space at the freight depot. Cotton has been coming in qnite briskly, and as a part of the platform cannot be used a considerable delay is caused in unloading bales, for they have to be dumped where opportunity ailords. We think the railroad company should immediately remedy this evil. Besides fixing the portions of the platform unsafe for use, they should give more space for the storage of cotton, tor the present space is inadequate for tho speedy and expeditious unloading of the staple. This condition of affairs is detrimental to j Winnsboro's trade in that, it causes I unnecessarv and expensive delays both to buyer and seller/ Mr. Creight informs as that the lumber is ready to repair the unsafe parts of the platform, which repairing should be done immediately. Besides this greater space is needed, and the railroad authorities ought to supply it quickly, so as not to delay farmers in the delivery of their cotton, or shippers in sending off their purchases. We call upon the an-! thorities to make the needed repairs. I Personal.?Prof. W. D. Douglass left on Saturday for his new post of duty in the South Carolina University. I lis genial manners and pleasant company will be missed by his many friends in "VVinnsboro, who will watch his career with interest and confidence. Messrs. "W. W.

Moffatt, of Chester, was in town for a short time on Monday on business. Mrs. W. L. McDonald left on M.ou ; day. She will visit her sister, Mrs. C. S. Brice, at "Woodward, before going to York. Dr. John Boyd, our retiring school commissioner has been elected principal of the Bethel School, No. 18, and of the RnfFSchool, No. 10, but having already accepted a position in the collegiate* department of Mount Zion will not accept either. Misses Pet and May Edmunds, who have been visiting in town, returned to Ridgeway Monday. The Rev. A. McA. Pittman and family have retnrned to "Winnsboro after a visit of two months in Union {county.

Try it For sale by McMaster, Brice & Ketchin. fl the 'all powerful jzjLILhoad Mr. .Editor: A few days ago, 11 came across a short sketch in the New j York Star, which, whether it be considered as instruction or prophecy, is so applicable to Winnsboro, that it will well bear reproduction in your columns: It is curious to note how little the people permanently resident in any certain locality recognize the real sources of their coming prosperity. For years after the failure of the whale fishery Sag Harbor, Long Island, was under a cloud. Its young men went to California, to the west, to the city and to worse places. It hankered after a business. It dwelt mournfully on the past prosperity of the whaling era. It started a cotton mill, which l^vea a sickly life and finally departed in smoke and flame. Xet to-day bag Harbor has more stores than ever before. It has more houses than ever. It is better ordered and prettier than ever. Streets once wastes of land are now lined by shade trees. Three steamboats, during the summer, daily arrive and depart, wnere one was more thau equal to the business thirty years ago. Wliat has been tho chief source of this increasing prosperity ? There is but one answer. It is the all powerful railroad. "VVinnsboro has aroused from the lethargy into ?rhich she was thrown by the "disastrous civil war. The children of then are the men of business activities now, in the prime of life, enjoying the full tide of energy, and nn, trammeled by the traditions of "befo' de wall," they are seeking to restore the prosperity and the influence of tho town of their- home. Like Sag Harbor, Winnsboro "hankers after a business." Let her bat heed the lesson taught by experience; let her but recognize that not in the "sickly cotton mill" but in the "all powerfal railroad" is the key to Sag Harbor's prosperity, and Winnsboro will take on a new lease of life. Therefore, it behooves the citizens of Winnsboro to encourage the projected railroads in every I way, and with heart, purse, and voice to do everything in their power to build these iron road3 to prosperity and success. Tax Payer. THE OATS CROP. In answer to the four questions recently propounded in this paper? the following answers have been received. The questions and answers are given below: 1. Was not the planting or oats, on account of frequent failures, almost abandoned before Col. "YVyatt Aiken introduced the red rust-proof variety, and from whence did he procure the seed? 2. For a few years after the introduction of the red rust-proof oats was the oats crop both abundant and certain? 3. Has not the deterioration of the seed caused the failures of the past few years, and would not the importation and use of a fresh supply of seed again insure good crops? 4. With the poor corn crop of this year would it not be advisable to make the experiment this fall with fresh seed? 1. In my opinion the crop was abandoned more on account of the price of cotton and renting of the laud for a certain quantity of cotton; that only land that was too poor for cotton was sown in oats. I do not know where Col. Aiken procured the teed. 2. Yes. For a few years they did well until the winter freezes killed them out, together with not beiu# properly gown, 01* sown too late in the season for the roots to get good hold. 3. I do not believe the deterioration of the seed is the real cause of the failure. As stated above, the freezes had a great deal to do with it, besides lack of attention in sowing, in selecting good land, manuring, and properly putting in. If the pure rust proof variety can be obtained I think it would be a good idea to get them, although there was a fine oats crop this season in this section, having been sown in September and January, following a pea crop. I believe cotton Vioflar nn r?afc than <<nv nth. 9CVV1 poj a V/VHV4 VM V?w VUV.K V...J V vu er crop" 4- Yes. By all means sow both early and late, putting cotton seed on freely. S. R. Johnston. Seed has undergone a material change since first introduced here about the year 1873, if I mistake not. From that year to 1882 we had no trouble in securing a paying crop, entirely free from rust on ordiuary lands. The cold winters did not effect tnem enough to require re-sowing, as they | do now. "When first brought here they were redder, had a long, stiff beard, and were much heavier than they are now.

I have always understood that Col. Wyatt Aiken first brought them from Mexico about the year 1870. Perhaps Col. Wash "Watts", of Laurens, couid give the most reliable information concerning their importation into this State. w. b. y. Mr. Editor: Replying to your postal card of the 21st ult., in reference to red oats, will say in answer to first query that I am unable to give a full answer in reference to the production of oats before the introduction of the red oats by Col. Aiken, as I had only commenced farming about that time; but am inclined to think from memory that very few oats were sown before that time. I am unable to say where Col. Aiken got the seed, but have heard it said that they must have been introduced from Scotland, as it is there that the fiuest oats are raised. In answer to the second question, will say that I attribute the failure in * * * - * - f A ttl6 0&L8 crop lur Lilt? iilOl 1C)> > ca; o iv several reasons: 1. To the "careless and negligent way of preparing the land at planting time. 2. Planting what is called the fall planting in early winter, and on the poorest land and without manure. 3. The very severe winters that we have had for several years, and the careless way of selecting the seed for the next year's crop, thus causing the deterioration in quality of seed in great part, and then not considering oat6 as a very important crop, bat only something to feed on until the corn that is expected to come bat hardly ever gets there, is ready to house, The writer has never yet failed in making an oats crop and has never lost any from bad weather at harvest time, but has made enough to feed on from one year's end to another, and have had parties to como from near CoJambia for seed oats in the fall of 1886, when the oats crop, as a general thing, was a failure. I think, in anBwer to the fourth query, that the introduction of fresh seed would be advantageous, but think that the only way for us to improve our seed, fresh or not, ! and keep them pure is- by the the selection of the finest and heaviest i stools' or bunches of red oats before the reaper, stripping with the hand I the best and heaviest heads from these, j By thus selecting and planting a special acre or two to save oar seed from each year I think we will be enabled to retain the pore red oat. By thus doing and using some of our good land with a little cotton seed in the fall or top dressing with guano in the spring, and after oats peas. I venture to say that we will not only succeed in making good and never failing oats crops, but our lands will improve under the rotation with peas, and we will make enough peas and vines to pay for the planting and gathering of both crops. In gathering the oat crop t r?rofpr nnf to tip t'iem in bundles, for if left spread out on the ground for several hours or a day they will be ready to house before the rain comes, bat lied and shocked, as a general thing, they will rot under tie and never cure thoroughly until the band is cnt. Let us plant more oats, and less corn (which is more difficult to raise) planting apart in the fall and a part in first of January or near first of March, and if those planted in the fall are killed let us not lose heart, but plant over in the spring and we are sure to succeed. Aud, lastly, Mr. Editor, I think our county paper deserves the thanks and patronage of the farming community for the interest shown in all matters appertaining to the advancement of the agricultural interests of the county.

OUR PRICES. WE do not bait customers with sonic articles at low figures, making it neccssarh for us to take advantage of them in the price3 of others. Our plan has been to stock with reliable goods, to buy from the most responsible dealers at the most reasonable weolesale price, and add a living per cent, on everything for profit. We try to take care of our customers as well as ourselves. Our motto is to "LIVE AND LET LLVE." Wc would impress this idea on all purchasers. If you wish a good article you must expect to pay a good price for it, and when you find a man advertising that he will send you something fine for a little money, you may rest assured that he is a fraud. It is painful to know how much our peo; pie have been humbugged by the catchpenny advertising firms. If their goods are so cheap how car. they anorc to advertise so extensively? And whj i do they have to go so * far for a customer? It is always best to know that your merchant is reliable before you give your money to him. If oui , people will stop sending away foi goods in our line, and patronize us, w< . promise that we will take no advan j tage of them, but will sell as low a.< any other house can, when quality an( L! quanity are both considered. And moreover, this coarse will enable us U increase our stock so that you wil 1 have a more interesting collection t< select from before your money leave I vour hand. f * CONNOR & CHANDLER. L ? _?

The trouble was constitutional not Ibcal; and, until Ayer's SarsapaI rilla did its effective work as an j Alterative and Blood Purifier, they were compelled to suffer. The wife of Samuel Page, 21 Austin St., Lowell, Mass., was, for along time, subject to severe headaches, the result of stomach and liver disorders. "A'perfeet cure has been effected'by Ayer's Sarsapaxilla. Frank Roberts, 727 Washington St., Boston, says that he formerly nad terrible headaches," and until he took Ayer's Saxsaparilla, never found any medicine that would give Permanent Relief. "Every Spring, for years," writes Lizzie W. DeVeau, 262 Fifteenth St., Brooklyn, N. Y., "I hare had intolerable headaches. I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla last March, and have not had a headache since that time." i; " I suffered from headache, indigesi tinn. and debilitv. and was hardly able 9 - to drag myself about the house," writes -??J* Mrs. M. M. Lewis, of A st., Lowell, Mass. "Ayer's Sarsaparilla has worked 'r- ' * a marvelous change in my case. I now " . ? * feel strong and well as ever." 1., v Jonas Garman, Esq., of LyMns, Pa,. writes: "For years I have suffered -I ?lreadfully, every Spring, from headache, caused by impurity of the blood and :~i.. bilousness. It seemed for days and ->' weeks that my head would split open- . Nothing relieved me till I took Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This raedicine has cured ; me completely." When Mrs. Genevra Belanger, of 34 Bridge St., Springfield, Mass., began to ;?se Ayer's Sarsaparilla, she had suffered ' ilor. some years from a serious affection. 'of the kidneys. Every Spring, also, she ~'3Twas afflicted with headache, loss of appetite, and indigestion. A friend per- . suaded her to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Vi. which benefited her wonderfully.
