Good Cotton.?Mr. Jas. B. Turner,'
in a short talk on Wednesday, said j
that he had planted a variety ot" cotton j
knowu as the Duncan mammoth, from j
which, out of one hundred pounds of j
seed colton he had ginned thirty-eight I
pounds of lint. Mr. Turner thinks'
this by far the best cotton yet, and in- j
cidentally mentioned that the bolls!
sometimes measure six inches in di-'
ameter. Mr. Turner believes that he i
cau improve this cotton by crossing it
with other varieties, and he proposes
to try the experiment.

Accident.?"While Mr. "Wviie Yarborough,
with his daughter and son, |
were on their way to Winnsboro on San- :
day morning, when just beyond Glenn's j
Bridge, coming down a lull, the Hues
broke and the two horses hitched to
thfi buggy became frightened and ran
away. They dashed down the hill and
ran into an embankment overturning
the buggy and precipitating the occupants
to the ground. None were injured
except Mr. Yarborough himself,
his knee being considerably wrenched
and skinned. His injuries were not serious,
however, beyond the pain incident
to the accident, but he was unable
to continue his journey.
in Brief, audio tic Foist.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookerv, mental worn-, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to bo,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this
sad business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and bo happy.

beans arc excellent for both table use
' and feeding to stock. A great advan|

with which it is gathered. The stalks
arc pulled up and carried into a room
where the pods burst open, the grains
drop out. and arc easily scraped in a

Hibi.k Association.?The South
Carolina Bible Association will hold
its annual meeting in Columbia on
November 7 and 3. The meetings of
the Association will be held in the Y.
M. C. A. building where there will be
addresses of welcome, devotional exercises
and enrollment of delegates.
Besides the reports from the various
societies in the State any other business
calling for consideration will be
attended to. There will be a union
mass meeting in one of the churches of
the city where.addresses wiiL-be de:
delivered by specialiwrfimnct speakers
; of the Slats. There are one or two
! societies hi this county, which will
i doubtless send delegates. The Society
I formerly in active operation at this

this State will-meet in Vvinnsboro on
November 28. A committee consisting
of the iiev. G. P. Watson, chairman,
J. F. McMaster, J. X. Center,
and S. C. ilcDowell has been ap-j
pointed to make a canvass of the town ;
in the matter of entertaining the mem- j
bers. This body consists of 250 mem-!
ber.s and is the largest religious meeting
that has ever assembled in this
place, and is the first meeting of the
a.mual conference in Winnsboro. The
well-known hospitality of our citizens
will be equal to the occasion, and
everybody will receivo a warm welcome.
It is undecided where the meetings
will be held, but it is probable
that the Opera House will be engaged
for ihe occasion, as no church in town
will scat the delegates and the audience
which will be present.
Tee Hudson Monument. ? This
monnmcuL which stands in front of
Mount Zion College, certainly needs
some attention from the Board of
Trustees. In passing it the other day*
it was noticed that the monument is
terribly abused. It always has been
abused by thoughtless boys, and such
is the case at the present. It is blackened
with lead pencil marks, and parts
of it have been recently chipped off.
It is impossible for the teachers to prevent
this vandalism, as our own experience
attests, having been a teacher
in the same institution. The only
remedy that suggests itself is the
erection of an iron fence around the.
monument of sufficient height to prevent
thoughtless boys and others from
defacing it. We hope the proper authorities
will take the ncecssary steps
preserve this monument from further
defacement.

A Xegro and His Work.?Andy
llavo, a colored man jiving 011 Jim
Fair? place, a fc^ miles out of town, J
swore out a warrant before Trial Jus- j
tice Cathcart on Thursday for the arrest
of one Harris, alias Buzzard.
It seems that Buzzard, who is also
a negro, is going through the ccuuty
pretending to be a great doctor and by
working upon the credulity of simple
minded negroes he readily practices
his fraud upon them.
About September 15 the services of
the 'doctor" were engaged by Mayo,
whose wife was sick. After going
through certain forms or several days !
rVrrvinrWi ^ ?ul r^fwved from Mavo !
five dollars in cash and two dollars
worth of chickcus as "compensation for
his services. lie then said he would
leave for a day or two and return and
complete the cure. lie not only left,
but enticed Mavo's thirteen-year-old
daughter to leave with him, and they
have not been heard,from since. Mayo,
therefore, wants to find him and give
him a taste of the lav/.

The Campaign Meeting at Colum- j
bia.?On Friday a small number of,
gentlemen left Wiansboro to be pros- j
eiitj.it the campaign meeting in Colum- {
bia. The prSfrainme as published,
besides the addresses in the Opera
House, included tire firing of cannon
and a torch light proccsSion* but for
some cause this part of the exeroisCS ,
was not adhered to.
At the appointed hour for the speaking
the Opera House was packed from
pit to dome by those who desired to
hear the distinguished speakers.
Congressman Mansur, of Chillicothe,
Mo., was the first speaker, and for
over one hour he entertained his audience
with an address upon the tariff
in all its phases. His speech was frequently
interrupted with cheers and
applause. After Congressman Mansur
had finished, the audience was addressed
by Senator Butler on the same
subject. It was with regret that the
Fairfield delegation had to leave to
take the train for home almost at the
begiuning of the Senators speech.
Tae meeting, in so far as the speaking
was concerned, was a great success,
and one could not help being impressed
with the fact that if possible
such meetings should be held in every
county, where the people could learn
in a short while from men versed in
national politics, the monstrous evils
of the iniquitous tariff, and the best
way of remedying them.

THE CHESTER BALL.
A party consisting of Mrs. J. Q.
Davis, Misses Fioride Dwight, Addie

and Messis. W. O. Brice, T. W. Lauderdale
Dr. R, B. Hanahan, Jr., Thos.
F. Davis, Sumter Crawford, R. E.
Briccj and Jas. Q. Davis, left town on
Thursday for Chester to attend the
ball iriven by the C. F. Y. & L. Club.
This Club, like the Fairs held in Chester,
is composed of gentlemen from
the four counties of Chester, Fairfield,
York, and Lancaster, and it is proposed
to give an entertainment during
each Fair. Mr. J. II. McLure is
president and N. C. Walker secretary,
and haviug been only recently organized
this is the first entertainment.
The ball was given in the Odd Fellows
Hall and the Italian band from Char
lotte discoursed sweet music. T&irty-1
five couples were on the floor and the i
seats in the hall vrerc occupied by
dignified chaperons and gentlemen
who told of "how we used to dance."
Besides the four counties Charlotte
and Columbia were both represented,
the forrfier contributing her belle, the i
pretty Miss Hatty. A description of i
the costumes will not be attempted.
They were all both handsome aud becoming,
and it has seldom been our
good fortune to see so many pretty
girls together. The Winnsboro representatives
were frequently complimented
011 the gracefulness of their
dancing, blisses Ilachel and Mallie
McMaster, who are attending the Fair, j
joined the "Winnsboro party at the ball. '

at once: it produces natural, quiet sleep
by relieving the child from pain, a:id the i

TAXATION.
Some figures that of_Iulorcst to i
Taxpayers?From
the books of the Treasure^ we;
glean the following statistics regard-Sing
county taxation which will doubt- j
less be read with interest by all tr.x- J
payers:
The total tax assessed in the county i
is 843,000 as shown by the Treasurer's j
duplicates, and is divided as follows: j
State tax 16,786.45!
Ordinary county tax 11,750.53 j
Special county tax 2,517.97 i
entinnl (i 71.1 .">0
Special school t' r 1,67S.?7
Poll tax 3,709.00
Special school tax ya;c! by tue
C. C. A. Railroad...... 84.00
Total $43,240.91 j
Of this amount of the railroads in
the county pay $6,025.18, which is
about one-seventh of the total tax.
It may be interesting to compare
the present taxation with that assessed
in Radical times. The last tax duplicate
of Radical times in the Treasurer's
office shows a total assessment of
$78,000 for this county. About $15,000
of this amount remained in the
county, which, under various condi- j
tiens, was distributed among the peo- j
pie, the balance, $63,000, went to I
Columbia where it was grabbed by j
the corrupt men then in office. Under I
the oresent State of affairs about!
$16,786.45 goes to Columbia which is j
disbursed under honest and proper
methods, leaving a balance of$26,45-1.46,
which, in the ordinary- course
of business would be distributed i
among the people of the county. IIow j
wonderful then, is it 'hat our people '
should have stood such unjust
taxation!
"While cn the subject of taxation, it
will be matter of interest to know
what taxes corporations pay. The
Winnsboro National Bank, for in
tav.ce, pays $72.88, whicti is the tax on j
real estate owned by it. The tax j
paid by the stockholders of the insti- j
tntion, however, makes the Bank j
taxation much larger than the above
sum. Under the now law relating to
the assessment of bank stock the tax
that is due on ti-o stock is' assessed
opon the individual stockholders and
not upon the bank, as heretofore.
Under the old law the bank paid
the tax on the capital stock.
Other interesting figures will be
found below:
The largest tax paying school dis
tricl is No. 14, which pays $0,500 of
the total tax, followed by Bricc township,
or school district Xc. 2, which
pays $3,000, on through the list to
school district Xo. 17, which pays
$110.
From the above figures it will be
seen that No. 14 pays nearly one-fifth
of the total taxes.
The county is divided into twentyone
townships. The largest number
of persons paying poil tax is i:i. Brice
township, 44S in number, ranging
from that figure to 41 in No. 1G. Many
other interesting figures could be
given, but these will suffice for the
present.

TITILL assemble in Winnshoro on the i
y ^ 27tli of November. This is a large
body of ministers, coch one having been
admitted by a careful scrutinizing vote.
While sonic have been taken in under ,
promises and expectations which have not J
been fully realized, the most of them are
elegant men, good and true. They have <3
a long time heard of Winnsboro as a"grand
old town; they remember that Sherman r
said he found a silver mine here, and are
now all' agog with anticipations of their
visitation. The noble women of Winns- 1
boro propose to take these men to their
homes, as guests for six or seven days, 1
and wish " to sustain their reputation.
"While Sherman took away most of their j j
silverware, he did not cyt it all. What re-!
mains is a little tarnisiieu, out can ue j ;
"laile as good as new by an application of | K
5SSSi5JCE5fT3 jI
i which is used, recommended and sold to! i
us by one of the largest silverware facto-! fc
l ries in the Union. Each bottle has full! r
j directions for its application. j ]
OUii POLISHING SOAP j [
is a cheaper article for the same purpose, j
which we can freely commend, not only j
for its ease of application, but for its effi-;
ciency in cleaning gold, silver brass and j
glass. To replenish your stock of
