We hope they will come again. ?The eager expectation with which the dispatches were watched on Tuesday night sufficiently attests the prtriotism of our people. But the result of our home vote was of little interest as was evidenced by the fact that when it was bulletined that Chester had gone Democratic by a large majority, there was a chorus of "pshaws," and general expression of disgust, not at the vote, but at the telegraph company in sending news that was not news. ?The two Democratic clubs held a joint meeting on Monday night in the Court House, which was freely attended.

[ War Reminiscence?.?Capt. J. D. ! Uogan, of Blythewood, has ready for publication a book entitled: "War Reminiscences of 'Dick' IIogans Hampton's Scout." It is a story of the scouts, dealing fully with the checkered phases of their lives, and the perils hardships and romances which attend the performance of their duty. Capt. Hogan was the leader of that gallant body of scouts which grew out of Hampton's cavalry, known as "Dick Hogan's Band." It is the work of this band of fearless spirits which constitutes the major part of Mr. Hogau's book, while the minor is taken up with the general cavalry movements of both armies. The narrative covers the whole four years of the war, beginning at Columbia with the moving of Hampton's forces from that point, May 1SG1, and closing at Chester village, 1865.

Dr. Jordan and Revs. G. P. Watson, and T. H. Law were upon the rostrum, Mr. Chalmers being detained by sickness, and Mr. Pittman by absence from town. After singing and reading of the scriptures, Mr. Law addressed the audience. He gave an interesting account of the operations of the American Bible Society, showing how it was the greatest foreign and domestic missionary agency of the times. After explaining in detail the methods of the Bible Society, Rev. Mr. Law then announced that he proposed to organize, or rather revive the Bible Society formerly existing at this place. Three srentlemen were then requested to go through the congregation and secure names and subscriptions. Asa result of their efforts sixty names were enrolled. The following officers were elected: J. E. McDonald, president; J. N. Center, vice-president; I. N. Withers, secretary; T. II. Ketchin, treasurer; McMaster, Brice & Kelchin, Depositary; Executive Committee, J. C. Caldwell, W. Gr.

Good work properly applied never fails to tell. A good deal has been said lately in your paper about oats. Do not give it up, but try, try, again.

The most of us have finished gathering onr corn crop, but owing to the disastrers by freshets on the river and cieeks. it was a short horse and easily carried. "We will have to depend, in a measure, upon the oats crop for our next year's stock feed, and it behooves every farmer to plant a good supply. The alarming disasters of mutilated limbs by cotton gins are becoming quite frequent. We have had two accidents of this kind recently. The first was a little colored girl who had her arm so badly lacerated at the ginhouse of Mr. J. D. Harrison, that it caused her death before proper assistance could be had.

Having fully satisfied myself with the election news 011 "Wednesday, I sought the county treasurer for the purpose of ascertaining when we would start agaiu on our peregrinations, and was informed that he would be at Horeb on Thursday and Jcnkinsville on Friday, and would leave the Boro on Thursday morning. i The result of the political contcst was a great disappointment, although its shadows had been cast before. Cleve land is a brave patriot, and had made the issue on {he only live question of the day?a reduction of war taxes. Of course there are those who will say like the old woman did when the cow ate the grindstone, "I told you so." Some people's minds arc slow to a< t, and they always become very wise after the contest is over, I think it is very well that the fight was made, although it has been a costly one. It was a progressive fight, and vibrations ?i-s-L. ?;n [ have been set 111 mouou wiucu wm j make even the successful party realize war taxes will not be tolerated in time of peace. Since a protective tariff will continue, for some time at least, let the South build factories, and reap some of the benefit. The raw material is right at hand and we can get it cheaper than the North. I do | not see any use in anticipating all the I ills of the "reconstruction period. We have our State government, and if we are true to ourselves it will remain in our hands. The road from Winnsboro to Horeb is probably the best in the county, leading along the top of a ridge. It is level most of the way, and affords a most pleasant drive. It passes right by the Winnsboro Granite Quarries, the biggest enterprise in the county. These quarries are owned by a com pany witn neaaquaricrs m ^uancawu. According to the teachings of geology these immense beds of granite have been lying exposed for a long of lime. When nearly the whole of that part of the earth's surface known as the Uni- ' ted States was submerged, dry land or dry rocks could be found here. In deed it is said that the aliuvial fields of the Southwest are composed of the washings of this older land. Strange that the moss-covered backs of these high holders should have been allowed to remain free from the attacks of the hammer and drill for so long a time. Major Woodward is the father of the enterprise, and his effort it was that resulted in the opening of the quarries and the building of the County Progress Iiailroad connecting the quarries w??h thft d C. & A. at Rockton. Col. J. B. Davis, assisted by his son Thomas, is superintending tlift work of getting out rock. We were shown the debris of a boulder out of which $4,000 worth of rocks have been sold. The Horeb post office is conducted by Mr. D. Gr. Ruff 111 his store, and is supplied by two star routes, being the terminal point of one. Besides Mr. Ruft's store there is Mr. Joel Ashford's blacksmith shop, and Mr. Jas. McConnel!, up to his death, had a wood shop, and Mr. Tinkler is running a mill here. There are lour residences in the place. At Horeb we met Mr. X. C. Robertson, who is raising on his farm pure bred Berkshire hogs. We remember seeing a splendid specimen of his pigs at the farmer's Institute lust August. Mr. Robertson has disposed of over $200 worth of pigs this yearequal to about five bales of cotton. rnu., a nodmnw rmr?tipr? nil fifh JL UC JJClilUi lautuuuij vjyv?*wv? v.. v... inst., with twenty-four pupils, Miss Black, of Ridgeway, teacher. Very few tax receipts were issued at lloreb, the people generally preferring to pay in Winnsboro. After acknowledging the kindness and hospitality of Mr. D. G. Ruff we moved forward to Mr. Wm. Gibson's where we spent the night. We found Mr. G. busily engaged in getting his wagon and cotton ready for an early start to Columbia on Friday. Why does this t Fairfield cotton go to Columbia when there is a shorter and better road to Winnsboro with equally as good a market ? Mr. Gibson i3 developing into quite a bird hunter, and we enjoyed the fruit of his hunt the day before. On our way to Jenkinsville we paid a pop call to Dr. J. M. Glenn. Dr. G. needs no introduction to your hotrino- OfmtTthntcd t.0 VOUl' 1 VCtUV/lOf UUT vw.... ^ columns his very interesting experience in cotton culture. He is now engaged in experimenting in an effort to produce a hybrid from the Peterkin and Allen varieties, making the Allen more prolific and improving the staple of the Peterkin. The Doctor kindly promised to publish the result of his experiments. The heavy roads made us a little behind time at Jenkinsville. A crowd had collected, and the Treasurer issued about one hundred receipts by 12 o'clock. There is only one store at Jenkinsville, owned by Wagener & Co., of Charleston, and managed by C. D- Chappell, who is also postmaster. The richest negro in the county, old man Ben Martin, paid his taxes here. I By honest work he has gained not only a considerable amount of property, but also the good opinion of his white neighbors. Mr. J. S. Swyger^, wno iormeny owned the store, is living at Jenkinsville, and is buying cotton, having gotten through with his farming operations for the year. The rapacious tax-gatherer having completed his labors for the day we set out for home where we arrived in time for tea and to have a romp with the little folks before they went to bed.

At last I learned of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which I used ( moderately and in small doses) at the first recurrence of a cold or any chest difficulty, and from which I invariably found relief. This was over 25 years ago. "With all sorts of exposure, in all sorts of climates, I havo never, to this day, had any cold nor any affection of "the throat or lungs which did not yield to Ateu's Cherry Pectoral within 2i hours. Of course I have never allowed myself to bo without this remedy in all my voyages and travels. Under my own. observation, it has given relief to vast numbers of persons; while in acute cases -flommo /^Y-I en/?T? OCJ <J1 jJaiiiIUIia.IV i tivu * ouvu croup and diphtheria in children, life has been preserved through- its effects. I recommend its use in light but frequent doses. Properly administered, in. accordance with your directions, it is A Priceless Blessing in any house. I speak earnestly because I feel earnestly. I have known many eases of apparently confirmed bronchitis and cough, with loss of voice, particularly among clergymen and other public speakers, perfectly cured by this medicine.
