Nobody -was able to find out a thing about them, and Mr. Bell exhausted his inquisitorial powers while they were taking a meal at his mother's, but all to no purpose. The men would not tell who they were. They did not stay at the hotel, but stopped about the town with private parties. During Thursday evening and Friday they rambled about over the fields and through the wood with a pick and shovel they borrowed from an old negro woman in town. They left on the train Friday night, and the digging tools were found leaning against the old darkey's fence. Since their diappearance, excavations have been observed in different parts of the neighborhood, on the J hill sides and 011 the banks of creeks, but these silent witnesses only provoked the curiosity of the good people of the town. The negroes are ingenious in guessing that they are after some hidden treasure of fifty years standing, and some of them believe there is devilment at work somewhere. These mysterious visitors may have seen traces of minerals and were out oh a prospecting- tour, ana we ma v expect to sec a boom in real estate near about these holes in the ground.

Mr. Editor: Being comparatively a new-comer in onr pleasant town, I, of course, feel some delicacy in making suggestions about improvements; and yet feeling a deep interest in whatever tends to promote the business and general weJtaie or town ;ma county, 1 venture to call the attention of the authorities and all interested to complaints that I hear from the country people, who bring in cotton and other produce for sale. They are complaining of the great lack of hitching and camping lots in the town. I verily believe that with a little 4 U m r* f f At?c lir UlUre UUUUllULI iu IUC9C luauciO) ?-j j merchants especially, the trade of the town would be materially increased.

O ~ - - - over Winasboro, as u cotton market especially in this rcspect, and expressed his conviction, that if AVinnsboro would move in this matter it would be largely to her advantage. I am satisfied that large quanities of cotton go from onr county to Columbia, that would come here if the proper convenience were provided. Our merchants pay good prices for cotton, give good weight and charge the farmers nothing for weighing, while Columbia knocks off two pounds, and charges 20 cents per bale for weighinsr. Other things being equal, of course the farmers wonld find it to their interests 10 sell here. R. H. Jennings.

The Court of General Sessions for Fairfield County convened on Monday at 10 a. m., Judge B. C. Pressley presiding. The list of the grand and petit jurors were called. Seventeen grand and thirty-three petit jnrors answered to their name3. After Solicitor McDonald had sworn the witnesses in several cases, the fol lowing bills were given oiu: jvour bills for adultery, one for grand la.rcenj, one for assault and battery with intent to kill, and two for murder. His Honor proceeded to charge the jury upon their duty in a clear, coiaprehensire and instructive charge, noticing especially the prevalency of lynch law, areon, and the necessity of enforcing the law against carrying concealed weapons. The following is a synopsis of the charge: Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the * a 1 urana jury: as yuu ijuyu uucauy served at two terms of the Court this year, I think that you know accurately what your duties are, and I need not now enlarge upon them. Your duty, gentlemen, to the Court will be to finish the work at this term left unfinished. "What you have been charged with heretofore and have not finished you will finish at this term of the Court. What you have recommended at previous terms you will look after and see if it has been done, and if it has not, call my attention to it in your presentment, and I will see that they receive attention. What you have already done you need not go over \X7 ^vominofiAno TTAM lUgCLilCX* IT licit ^Aauiiuauvua jvu have made to your satisfaction you need rot repeat, unless something comes to your knowledge that will make the repetition necessary. You will go over that work again if any information reaches you that yon have omitted something,'or soraethiDg has occurred since. If you have looked into the County bonds and reported them good to your satisfaction, you ' t i* L" will Hot go over mem. jli yuu uave not you will do that. It is very important to keep the bonds of the County officers solid?they are very good when they are given, but may become insufficient from death or other causes. Losses to the state and county often occur, because some surely die and the bond becomes weak.' Have you heretofore requested the Trial Justices to present their books, or have >ou given them notice to have their books before you. If you have done so and they have not been produced, call the attention of the Court to it while it is in session and we will see that they are brought before you. It is your duty to see that all fines imwAfA/1 V*otto Kaati nnllflofor) thflf uavu uvwu wi?\.vbvvi j wuww no frivolous litigation is going on at the expense of the County; and aboye all see that none of the frivolons cases that flood the Conrt of General Sessions so frequently. Matters of contest betweea. neighborhoods which are mere civil actions, which the Criminal Court has nothing to do with, are brought here at the expense of the County. Parties should litigate those matters" at their own expense on the civil side of the Court, employing nnrn otfni-nov ?r?/l r>?ivin<* thftil* VIIV.il V ?t U UVI ?* ? J ""O own witnesses. Frequently a suit is instituted for malicioos mischief, and the malicious mischief is not at all within the scope of the law. It is the game way with many of those trespassers which are brought in the Court of General Sessions. ^ Gentlemen, there are othv. natters to which I always call attention at the iirst terms of the year. I suppose they have boen called to your attention, but I see there is not much progress being made in some very important particulars, in the enforcement of sonie.very important laws aud in defifcrovin? practices which are pernicious to the community. I once hoped most fervently that this thing of lynching in the State of South Carolina was being put an end to. Lately I have been sorry to see the tone of the people on that matter has not improved. Ten years ago I told the people of this state, "If you do not set your faces against this unlawful practice the time will come wIiph \.-a vviJl have a most terrible reason u regret it." The people forget that we are living in the midst of a race tnat imitate everything we do, and if we violate the laws and set such an example in any section of the country they set to work to violate the law. They are so overpowering in the majority of the population that they are in a position to carry out their scheme. Now the first instance in the history of our State, where any person was convicted for lynching, the Governor pardoned them, and pardoned them rightly. Why? Because no white person had been convicted for lynching, and it had occurred often. """ ' J xne ill'si nuiu cuiuieu ptiauus uau been tried they were convicted; but the Governor said they should not be punished when they bad but followed our own bad example. The Jndgc then proceeded to charge on the evil practice of carrying concealed weapons.

Previous to the above event, I had been around and examined some of most notable crops, among the very best is a 30 acre field of corn belonging to Mr. Daniel Hall. It will average at least twenty-five or A* AAHA TKfli fifllHA liliriy UUSLieJb IV lUC Sbic. xuo oouie ]and is covered with a heavy growth of peavines. His cotton is also far above the average. Mr. Charlie Ford also has an excellent crop of cotton. The floods rained his finest corn. Bat speaking of cotton, Gen. Bratton has a field that dwarfs any thing in that "* ' * j _ -3 line l ever saw. it is piaoteu iu eigui> feet rows, quite thick in the drill. It now stands eight feet high and is touching in the middle. Imagine for an instant the immensity of the growth, each now covering eight feet of ground and standing the same number of feet high. The General has another field of six or seven acres, which is a cariosity for the vegetable growth on it, corn and cotton is planted in alternate rows; the corn is twelve or tonrteen leec mgn ana the cotton five or six. They are planted foar feet in the row. Among the noticeable crops there are several belonging to colored men which deserve notice, Wash McCrorey has as fine an average crop of both cotton and corn as the neighborhood boasts; so has Jim Heath and Oliver Jennings. I see Dr. Scott is complaining of year Gladden Grove correspondents pilfering Rocky Mount news. It may be so, bnt I think I speak for all of Gladden's Grove when I say that the Doctor's genial company is so much enjoyed that we are always glad to see him whether he is practicing on our side of the line or not.
