Coroner's Inquest.?On Friday, the 8th inst., Coroner Hinnant disinterred the body of Brown Lee. There was strong suspicion that the deceased had come to his death by foul play. The wife of the dead man was suspected of having poisoned him. The body had been buried two days when the inquest was held. Dr. S. G. Miller conducted the port mortem. The jury could arrive at 110 conclusion as to whether or not the deceased had been poisoned, and their verdict was in accordance with the facts proved before them. It will remain a mystery forever whether a diabolical crime has been committed. There ought to be some authority requiring the Coroner in such cases as this to have the stomach of a person who is supposed to have been foulr dealt with submitted to a chemical analysis, if there appears any grounds for suspicion.

Keminisences.?Gii- -Friday morn ing the reporter lor the News and Herald while etorinirg the town lor news, and wearing out the patience of the ?ood people wi.h his importunities, stumbled across one of the older citizens, who gave him a graphic description of how things were done in "ye olden times'-*; in those goldan daye when the sun, moon and stars shown brighter than they do now, and every one was happy and without, care. We were much iuter iainea wuij suiuc ui ujc lcuiiuimuucn of those Halcyon days. Says onr companion: "I have seen North Carolina wagons drive up lo? where the flag staff now stands and deal out the "bug juice" by the quart for the trifling sura of tweuty-five cents. These wagons would come here oil muster day, for it must be remembered in the glorious past the yeomanry of the County used to assemble here to go through the services the law of that day required;'' <;and," says he, "it was marvelous to see the antics that they would cut with the field movements and manual of arms after a few visits to those apple wagon?." But the most surprising piece of information with which he regaled us was the manner of conducting the election in those days. On one occasion when the racc was exceedingly hot for the sheriff's office, he says he i ? ?I saw a oarrei or wmsxcy ruucu uumi the public street in front of the town [ hall,, and the head knocked in, and every fellow armed with a half pint tin cup proceeded to drink to the health of the liberal candidate. It may well be imagined that it did not take long; for this to degenerate into a sort of Irish election minus the Shillelah. It was a free fight all Ihe same, in which all were at liberty to participate or not as he felt disposed. We are not surprised that things were so much * * ? 11 4 1 * .? ?

VISITOR. J. LETTER FROM 1)R. 1'OltCIIEK. ! To the Editor of the Xacs and Herald. I ,vas indebted to some one connected with your paper for an exceedingly interesting eulogy on my late friend Dr. Robertson. I cannot know 1 who sent it; but would not like to be silent. I wish to express the great regard I had for him. Having been for many years at school at the Mt. Zion Academy I have known him since boyhood, besides being related to his wife and her family. I have always had the liighest opinion of the talents, the attainments and the character of Dr. Robertson. lie had a superior and a most enquiring mind; and I suppose few or no physicians in the State could compare with him as respects the varied character of his knowledge. I believe that his opinions and views 011 professional subjects were held in the highest estimation by his brethren. There are many of us who lived so long and have so many friends in Winnsboro, that we can never lose our interest in the place and the people. F. Peyre Porcher, Charleston, S. C. October 30 1889. 1) HAT II OF MR' MAC OS Benjamin Ward Macon died in his 84th year 011 Thursday night at the residence of his niece, Miss Mattie Gailher. Mr Macon was a most remarkable and interesting man, and possessed of a most retentive memory. He was perhaps one of the few that were left of those who had come in personal contact with the great light of Nullification days. His personal recollection of the great meu were vivid and interesting in the extreme. Mr. Macon belonged to a race of men who are fast passing away, the link that connects the present with the past, that ere lorg wiil be no more. He was possessed of an unexaustabie fctore of knowledge acquired by a long and well spent life, and it is indeed a great pity that he had not iu the evening of his life devoted himself to litrature so that his knowledge of local history might Lave been perpetuated to future generations. Mr. Macon was a soldier of the Florida (hn r\f .<sf*r?f?asinn nnfi anu aicv jii vtiv h v*. s/www.. year, where his health compelled him to quit the service. The deceased was boru iu Fairfield County during the year 1S05. He was i very prominent in politics in his early . days and was thorough' learned in the history of the political parties. Mr. Macon preserved all of his faculties unimpaired up to the day of his death ; taking as usual his daily stroll the evening before his death. The sympathies of our whole community go out toward the family iu their bereavement. PXOGRBSS or t/te oil milt. Not only are the buildings com pleted, but every other detail for the speedy operation of the mill has been acted upon by the board of directors. They hare been acting silently and cantionsly, and with that conservatism, for which our business men are noted, but we may now gay that the mill within a few days will be in full blast. The directors have already ordered for immediate delivery two hundred tons of acidulated rock and fifty tons of kainit. They propose to manufacture a fertilizer, superior in many respects to those constantly used, and which U under careiui investigation wouiu be found to fail the test of the analyses of the State Chemist. The directors call attention to this fact, and ask the farmers to give them an opportunity to supply the local demand. The committee will formally receive tl.e buildings on next Wednesday or Tlmr*day, the fixing of machinery bi ing almost complete. Negotiations are now in progress for cotton sacks and oil barrels.

Howren. of Charleston, delivered lectures on temperance in the Baptist Church. The lectures were given under the auspices of the Womens' Christian Temperance Union, of our town. The pulpit of the church rcas tastefully decorated with beautiful flowers, and before all, in fall view of the audience, hung the banner of the Union, the armoral bearing was thcfleiir de Ust adopted no doubt because ?*\f fhfl tney are suggesuve eiuujcuio v?purity of their cause.

The Baptist Church, where the addresses were delivered, being the mofct capacious iu town, was selected for the occasion, but even its seating capacity was inadequate to supply the demands. All the available seats in the body of the building were occupied long, before the speaker arrived, and some who were not so rortunaie as iu be earlv had to avail '.heuiselves of the porch.

Duncan, pastor of the Methodist Church, introduced Mr. ilowrcn, who, alter a beautiful and eloquent preface, took up the subject of his address, with which he dealt In a forcible and original way, going straight to the heart of every one present; but that which pricked the heart of the newspaper men mo3t was the following: The speaker said, "I do not mean to reflect upon my brothers of the press of Wiunsboro, for J hare been told that they have about quit drinking, that is. they don't take but one drink at a time." We thought this at first a little hard, but upon reflection we bethought ourselves that Mr. Howrcn was famaliar with printing offices, and therefore knows that it is the habitat of a devil, and as all temperance people say the devil is at the bottom of the drinking in the world, we took it for granted he meant the devil, we were willing at all events for the devil to get his dues.

Then, still wjtt fancy's glass, he mixed thg^rffnrits with the pure water, and "depicted the I utter overthrow and destruction which followed the mixing of this "deadly poison which is so antagonistic to life." Says he, "just as it kills the animalcnlre, it will destroy man, he is a larger animal and it will take longer and more of if. but *'it gets there just the same." Mr. Ilowren held the attention of his audience for,two hours. He is thorin in his work, and uugu.j ?. will, no doubt, aid the cause he so jealously and ably espouses. PLEASANT OCCASION. To the Editor of 1\e Xeicx and Herald: Your Dumper's Creek correspondent had the pleasure of attending a social party on the night of November S near Woydward, at the residence of Mr. John A.

"The night was filled with music, And the clouds that infested the day, Folded their tents like Arabs, And as silentlv stole away." All the "beauty and chivalry" of the neighborhood were present. The ''beauty" consisted of Misses Emmie Kosborougb, Hattie Wise, Mamie Moblev, Carrie Blain, Msggie Stuart, Janie Stewart, Maggie Brice, Bettie Dunbar, Evic Brice, Rnth Brice, Susie and Bessie Stewart. And the "chivalry" was represeutad by Messrs. N. A. Peav, Tom Mobley, Tom Brice, Dick Brice, Andrew Mobley, Mc.
