Wednesday, October 9f : r 1889 The News and Courier, in its excel* lent way, tells of Columbia's wonderful progress in the issue of October 2. The Catholic Priest, J. J. Boyle, who was charged with an outrageous crime in North Carolina, has been convicted, and will be hanged in Raleigh on the 29th of November. am "Colonel" Bcssell and "Judge" ^^^^Baacusker are st.il] loiteriug around the My departments in Washington, and like WF hungry hounds are picking up a few jjj|^r crumbs from gJohnnie Wanamaker's W table. It is said that Steenstrand does not conceal his surprise and disappoint meat at the collapse of the corner 011 cotton. He says that it was caused by J the large number of bulls that rode on his back. Duelling is contagious in Georgia. Uvea the negroes are taking it up, but L, ^ like tlie whites,no blood has been lost y/ br either parties. They seem to be f innocent game*, after all, with no serious consequences, aave a little m sensation is created by them. And if angry disputes can be so harmlessly adjusted as they have been done in [ that State recently, we can see no r serious objection. There 'TIs Agtln. Only a few days ago we mentioned the fact that Doty & Co., were about to make preparations for accommodating farmers, who wish to camp when they come to "Winnsboro. Now uud ixiv/4. uiu^ juLaufcutav tt Turner announce that they will build a large stable for the same purpose. "Verily, the good work continues and we hope that iiTf due time Winnsboro ^^^^^jsrill lack in iy^onveiiiences. We endorse' every movement of this kind, and firmly believe that it will not fail to benefit the farmers and business of the town alike. IHYi((end8 efCottovXllk. As Winnsboro is now abont to en gage in this brauch ot industry, it - may b& interesting to know the dividends paid by *ome of the mills in kfc other places. The Tradesman has eecared some figure*, which are claimed to be accurate, of the actual fit profits made by cotton mills in the Southern States. The names of the vmills are not given as the figures were HL J furnished in confidence, and only a r. few mill* replied. One mill reported from Alabama, thirteen from Georgia, one from Mississinpi, foar from 2?ortb Carolina, fire from South Carolina and one from Tennessee. While only a few were heard from, yet the nuin^ ber above given will snffice to give L tome approximate idea of the money By that c.tn be made from the business. It is found that where mills are well equipped witn good machinery the fi - profits exceed 10 per cent, per annum. fc The twenty-five mills which replied show *u actual annual dividend and profit of lli per cent, and one mill in Alabama pays as high as 28 per cent; the thirteen in Georgia average 9? \ percent, dividend; ike one mill that replied from Mississippi makes 15 per cent; the four North Carolina mills average 16 per cent; five from South Carolina 10 2-5 per cent; the one from Tennessee 9 perjeent. If more mills had r reported, It is probable that the average dividends would have been larger. .Considering that most cf the mills have just begun operation, the profits are exceedingly gratifying, and the chances are that improvements in the machinery and more skill in the management will follow each year, and Iwith tbem an increase in the annual dividend* will be the result. Whoop It Up. The time for holding the Farmers Institute is drawing nearer and nearer as each week begins, it is therefore high time that those who want to have a hand in its laudable workings were making ready for the occasion. Just . think of it. It is to come off on the 30th day of October. Tnat is near at iiawu, *uu >uu uiuQi iui ut 11 yo* would have a Farmer's Institute - worthy of the name, and worthy of H Fairfield Cotmty. These Institutes are conducted most successfully in many of the other counties, and, if V our people will only exert themselves, Fairfield can make just as good a showing as any of them. Not only is it neeessary for you to send an exhibit, and give your presence at the meeting, but iu inaugurating anything of this kind a great deal of talking should be done, or to u^e a common phrase it must be "boomed." a In lact, two things are absolutely W v _ neccessay to be done iu order to make >ar coming Institute even approximate suceew. First, there must be Wk active, not a mere passive interest, BL and secofiJ it is necessary for the ^BMuer 10 ue raisea up, ana an endeavor made to incite the interest of others. It is not enough for you to simply say, "Well, I think it is a pretty good thing, and I believe I shall send something." You most gl discuss it among your friends, and pre^ jfik sent the benefits to t>* derived, and make strenuous efforts to enlist the sympathy of others in the movement., Send something yourself. Whoop it up. Talk about it to others. Lot everybody do this, and we warrant a good attendance; in truth it will be a success. it Opens Up 3Tew Enterprises. It is wonuenni now uiauy suusutate6 have been devised for jute. Now it may be that as yet none of these may bo entirely satisfactory, yet the farmers, by their war on jute, have made the human mind exceedingly active, and as & result it ha3 opened np a great many industries never before dreamed of. They arc now in a crude Hate?not fully erystalized? but in time we fee 1 sure they will be luiiy developed, f or msiancu iuse cotton bagging. While the manufacture of cotton cluth i* no new thing, yet to be a?e<l for the purpose of covering cotton is something new, and it make* the market so much more extensive. Already a dozen mills for the purpose have been established in the extreme p' ~?ing districts where most of the r; ton is grown. Then there . pine straw bagging, which beome a great branch of manu. -e some clay. Now the Edgei Ydvertiser gives one substitute fo ate, that is the most wonderful nSf all, "when the material from which it is made is considered. Says that paper: "Speaking of substitute* for jute bagging, the best thing in this line we have seen, is the handiwork of Jno. B. Hill Esq. He has woven a sample piece of bagging?all with his own hands, of course lie had no machinery?from the native okra plant which he grew and manipulated himself." And it is claimed that the bagging from the okra plant is stronger, clearer and better in every respect than all of the other substitutes for jute. It may be that it can be utilized as shoe thread, and even for the inanux?. aC i:~ iauiurc ui uiicu* So it seems that the war on jute may result in the utilization ot materials iu tho South that have never been regarded as possessing any special value. It has certainly made the people think, and will open new industries. The Farmer te Settle Tare Himself An important secret meeting of the National Cotton Committee and the Tare Committee of the Farmer*' Alliance was held at the Kimball llou<e, Atlanta, on last Monday night. The preamble to lite resolution passed states the Association of American Exchange?, which met in New Orleans on the 11th of September, and in conjunction *ith various commi?tioncrs of agriculture and representaiives of the farmers' interest#, recommended that the formers *eil thfir cotton by net weight as a tolution of the tare question; but it having been learned that the action of this meeting had not met with the approval of a sufficient unmber of Cottou Exchanges for the New Orloau* Exchange, which did approve the action, to carry it oat on October 1, the time proposed by the resolution, which we published in Saturday's issue. The following are the resolutions adopted at the Atlanta meeting: Therefore, it is hereby resolved. That theactiun had by the Shreveport Cotton Exchauge be adopted in the present emergeucv, and every farmer is hereby instructed, when offering for sale cotton wrapped in cotton bagging, to demand payment for eight ponnds more of cotton than the actual gro*s weight of such bale. i??oZr??{*Tltit this action is intended to supersede and take the place of tne previous action ana instructions in regard to the tare questiou. In no case shall a bale of cotton be sold subject to a dock of sixteen pounds for cotton bagging or twenty-four pounds for jute basrging as agreed upon in Ivew Orleans, unles the cotton be sold at half a cent per pound in advance of the current price at that time and place. The National Cotton Committee will give further instructions through the President of the County Alliance on j iL. A ? ? A. ilie ^oiu 01 vuiuuer. xne iunuer piuceedings of the Alliance were secret, but the Atlanta Constitution of October 1, publishes the fallowing rumor, which, we presume, is published as a mere sensation: It is rumored that the joint committees are preparing some instructions which will be wido reaching in their effect. These are instructions to all the primaries, wheels and unions, advising and instructing them to hold meetings aud petition the Governors of each cotton State to call the Legislature! in extra session to suspend the processes of the courts for the collection f debts for six month*. The object of 1L*. aZ A ~ Lltl 1 iui? auuoii, mey iu uiwau jiiju prevent the robbery planned and determined against theio." The result of such action counot be estimated. The riunor also says that instructions are being prepared and will be sent out immediately. A Lansing' Mich., Minister Gets 85,000. On Saturday, July 20tb, the official cards from the Louisiana State Lottery company announced that ticket No. 58,607 drew the second capital prize of $100,000 in Tuesday's, July 16tb, drawing, the ticket being held in twentieths, oue-twentieth sold in Lansing, Mich. Conjectures as to who held the lucky number ran rife. Some were of the opinion that a young man by the name of Cospers, employed at the iron works, held it, others thought the entire thing a snide, delusion and snare. By pursuing investigations unremittingly, The Rq>ublican has ascertained toe owner of tbe ticket to the fortune of $5,000 to be none other thau Rev.

The weather is getting cool and bracing, Ihe schools are opening in different places, and the School Coinmif&ioner is looking forward with great anticipation to his fall campaign in the educa'ional field. He hopes to be able to note progress all along the \V? want schools anil more education than ever before, and we must have enthusiastic painstaking, capable teachers and zealous, willing, liberal trustees and patrons. Given these, all good things educational will follow. The School Commissioner may be a "wooden" man, may get on the schools with both feet and try his worst against them, but he can't do anything opposed to such facts as described above. But if he exercises all the wisdom, vigilance, zeal, activity and care possible, and teachers, patrons and trustees are careless, indifferent and parsimonious, he can likewise accomplish nothing. It is to be readily seen, then, that most depends on forces other than the School Commissioner to work up an educational revival in the County. While this is so, there is an appointed work for this official to do. lie is to go into the chools, advise and consult with teachers and people, stimulate and assist, encourage ana instruct?in oiner words, do everything possible to promote the character and condition ot the schools and the progress ot' the pupils. To do this work properly requires a man ot great ability andattaiameuts. The present incumbent deeply feels his lack of filling these high requirements, but whatever fitness he may have for the work, whether gained from special training, practical experience in the school room observation - ? - re* ;.t. -i1 !i?! or reauing, ne oners nimau wuimj;nes* and kindness, but with great humility to the can^e of education in Fairfield. It at any time he can be of service to any community or individual in the line of oducation, he pledges bis freest, fullest efforts to give all assistance in his power. This article may be rather personal, but under the circumstances it* author has felt impelled to write it. The law intends that the School Commissioner work along the line suggested and that the people should know the nature of the service required and demand it of j him accordingly. Below will be found a short "piece" i from Prof. Branson, whom many of j onr teachers and citizens will pleas-1 antly remember as the conductor of! our Institute July last. It is written j in a very "catch}" way and should be ! an inspiration to every aspiring" young ! teacher who reads it. It may be re-j marked in passing that Prof. Branson j is himself a capital illustration of what j determination and whole-heartedness will do for a voung man. _ .. L i Mil an fa j ana lsig ? orK, Not much lo encourage a poor devil in \his kind of thing, certainly. But we all Lave to make a beginning in any kind of business in just this way. But the fellow that grudgingly and growiingly does jast five dollars' worth of work for the five dollars a weekjust so much and not a lick more?is not the clerk that is taken into the firm alter awhile, and owns the whole business at the wind up. No, sir; your five-dollars-worth-of-work-for-fivedollars'-worth-of-pay-young-man is just 5ure 19 us a uva-uonar-euap irum first to last. Isn't it so? I noticed the other day tbat Maurice Flynn, the millionaire New Yorker recently dead, used to work for six dollars a week. But the account went on to say at once: *'But the energetic young fellow earned his money a dozen limes over any week." No wonder he dies woi th twenty millions. You couldn't keep a fellow' like that down if you piled mounfains on him high as tne moon. The modest young country school teacher, with double the number of scholars, and one-half the pay he onght to have, is in a bad fir, certainly. But if he is a shabby sort of a fellow, no heart and hope iu him, no pluck, no grit, just a common clay chap, he will stay in that bad fix just as long as you'il let him. The fact is the fix is good enough for him. He is no student, he takes no school journals, buys no books on teaching, does not believe in new methods, doesn't want to know anything about what the great world is doing iu his profession, is a fellow r>f email otiorcrt- em-ill i^aoc email hopes, small purposes, jast a small fellow all around, and he ought to be bedeviled by small pay and hard circumstances from his small cradlc to his small grave. I know a good many fellows of this kind. The woods are full. No donbt of that. But I also know another kind of yonng school teacher. I know the very man. Hi3 name is GoodwiD, of Raleigh, N. (J. Ile'll never know anything about this article (for he's in London now, sent there by his church as representative to the great world's Sundav School Conven tiou?a man of importance, he is,) and so will never be embarrassed by my telling of his straggles and good fortune. When I first knew him, he was a raw country lad, just come out of the woods, and working his way through the academy at lialeigb. And he worked like n Trojan, day and night, making money at odd times and studying as best he might meanwhile. Next I rouna mm in me ieaoouy normal College at' Nashville. It was inspiration to watch it.e singleness of purpose and the never-ending hard licks of that young man. Next I come across Goodwin a? a worker in the North Carolina Summer Normals, get:ing his $150 for a three weeks' engagement He now has a $1,000 place in the State Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Raleigh. He'll be at the head of the establishment some day, and mark my prediction. Or he'll be at the head "of something. He is built that way. Hurrah for Goodwin, and all of his kind! Got any of him in your teaching crowd in Fairfield County? The careers of Carlisle aii;T'~B?ggs and other Fairfield young men ought to be full of suggestion and inspiration to the young teachers of your County. E. C. Branson. ) ! / r , COUNTY XETVS.

KAST WATEIIKK. October 7. This morning dawned on us clear aud cold; the farmers will rapidly proceed, this week, to gather their corn, peas, potatoes, etc. The cotton crop has been picked up closer than usual, if the weather continues favorable through October, most all w ill be harvested. The pea crop is*very fine. Mr. li.G. Wvlie i< having hid house painted, which adds a tastey appearance to his place. Mrs. S. J. Weir is having her yard newly paled. Mr. F. J.

Service has been going on at Mt. Olevet Church for the past three days. The Rev. McLewane assisted Mr. James Douglass in conducting the service. Mr. McLewane preached a missionary sermon on Saturday morning, and lectured on foreign mission in the afternoon. Sunday morning, he preached a touching sermon from St. Luke the 18th chapter and 37th verse. lie held the undivided attention of the congregation for most an hour. Mr. McLewane will leave in a few days as a missionary to Chiua. We wish him encouraging success in his undertaking. OAKLAND. October 5.

Please give your numerous readers the benefit of it. w. c. t. u. ' "What is the Christian idea of right? It is important that we get the right thought, because then we will do right and lead a happy life. The idea is that we carefully guard our deportment. "We should" be temperate in all things that we do. The Bible says that nAt rln thic ic ft "NTrvro AAV ?*W1W J a man who calls you a fool is not minded much but -when God writes us down as fools it is a very serious thing. We should be temperate in everything. That means the use of tobacco and of opium. It includes profanity and anger and impurity of life. "We are so to ^talk that we shall build each other up." "Right here in our city are brokenhearted people, beaten against the rocks of adversity by this tide of liquor onrl /vf li^onco TVin mon TtrVia nri 11 nnf tviiu vjl iivvAigv* a.iiv juuii f? i*v vi 111 uvi/ sign a temperance pledge, though he does not need it himself, to help a -weaker brother, is not as mudh of a man as he thinks himself to be. Christ said: 'Deny yourselves. Take up your cross and follow me.' There is no need to be drunk to be under the influence of of wine. The man that takes only a little and will not give it up is as much controlled by it as if he was an habitual drunkard. He is under the influence uecause iiu wuii l give il up. "What's the reason you won't stand out for the amendment? Because you > like a glass of beer. You say: 'I want to be free to take an occasional drink if I feel like it.' What influence keeps you from voting1 for the amendment? ; Isn't it the influence of the glass of j beer? There are thousands of men in tliis city who do not get drunk. They | say: "We have a right to drink it if i we want to; to sell it, to buy it or | give it away." A man may not drink ! it at all, "but he may be under the in- ! fluence of the liquor spirit. He will say: "I am a temperance man, but I am in business and the liquor people deal with me, so I won't say any \ "1 ^ thing against it.' Now what influence is he under ? "It's the same with many a politician. He's afraid he won't get votes so he is silent on the liquor > question. "When a minister or a teacher refuses to speak out on this question he is ruled by the liquor interests. The drunkard who votes for prohibition is a freer man than the total abstainer, who carries watet on both shoulders and then votes for liquor, or to put it in the harness of high license. "Just as the saloon-keeper must answer for every glass he sells, so we must answer for voting for liquor. It is simply a question of whether or not ?"V " r?

It is our duty to make it as difficult to get liquor as it is to get poison.
