Lamentation in the Hanks.?One
of the members of the B. P. U. is sick
"nigh unto death." Every symptom
points to a speedy disolution. Death
is usually represented as mounted on
a pale horse, but the figure has been
varied in this instance, where it is a
little black and tan terrier, whose
name is "K. O.", but the "d> ing brother
says, it might be "0. K." At all
events the black ribbon as mourning
on the little dog's neck foretells a time,
near at hand, of "wailing and gnashing
of teeth." Watch your cork bachelors.

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

care, is open to children of any State

A HOT SUPPER.
On last Wednesday night, the 5th of
November, one of ihu most, eijovable
events happened, and is now to be
classed among the things of the past.
Tho occasion was one which was given
for a high and noble purpose?for the
benefit of the Crooked llun Church.
It was a hot nipper given at the residence
of Mrs. Cynthia Trapp. A most
beautiful night it was. a most benevolent
cause was the object of the supper,
and to these two facts is to be attributed
the large gathering of people,
young and old, from the surrounding
country.
Among those whose efforts contributed
no little to the <;reat success of
tho affair are Misaos Daisy Brahman,

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.

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. The staves and
heads will be shipped here, andjtte

Mr. J. M. Stewart is the authorized

purchasing at this place, will visit

The office is now completed, and
will be occupied by Mr. II. J. McMaster,
the Secretary and Treasurer. It
is very probable that the mill will be
ready for work in ten days. This
looks like progress.

THE TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Mr. Howren Makes an Address?A targe
Audience.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings
the Rev. Henry D. 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

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

long, before the speaker arrived, and
some who were not so rortunaie as iu
be earlv had to avail '.heuiselves
of the porch. The ladies are entirely
in earnest, for they were
decidedly well represented in the
audience. At the appointed hour the

Q. D. WILLI
Look at our $2.50 HAND SEWED
by the beautiful hymn, "Over The
River." After the rendition of this
nymn, the liev. Rev. A. McA. Pittmou
led in pr.iyer, then followed the
-p.? ?U:^1, T>/vrr
Coronation nvmn, aacr wmtu
W. M. 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.
The sneaker in describing the
blighting effects of alchohol on animal
life, placed in imagination before his
he%revs a drop of water under a powerfiil^filicroscope,
with all innumerable
hosPsf living beings, in itself
being a mimhj^e ocean moveu with
life?then thesndeVa^-SS^thdrawn and
one with a drop of alcohol sntjs14t8i^4
in its place?dead, said the speaker,
this is a veritable dead sea. inanimated
by any form of lite. 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. Stewart, our popular
County Commissioner, and having had
such a "huge" time cannot refrain !
from informing you of the same.
"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.
Brice, Tom Cathcart, Wade Brice,
Wade Stewart, Laurie Brice, Sam
Brice, Willie Cureton, Lawrence
Boyd, John Craft, Willie Dunbar, M.

Stewart.

then dancing was indulged in. The
latter, by the way, could not have
offended (lie most conscientious
Christian.
It consisted of the time honored
game of "Steal partners," in its most
primative form, together with a series
of hops and skips, which would hs.ve
to be seen to be appreciated.
All present seemed to enjoy themselves
very much, and they parted only
after having mc.de tho resolution ofhaving
"another one" of the same in
the near future.
