By all means let us have iit, and we call on Mr. George Mc Master to lead in the movement. ?"Well, after all last year is going to turn out pretty well" was the remark of one of our most prominent merchants on Tuesday. Is it not true that a great many became just a little too much alarmed to^ soon? ?Mr. J.S.

"We trust he 'will be ou the streets again in a few days. ?Business lias been quite active at McCarley & Go's, indeed they had no idea of dropping into a condition of innocuous desuetude.

He reports a very active market with high prices prevailing. At one stable he says $64,000 worth of stock were sold in one day. The demand is attributed to the fine coru crops made last year. ?We u.ink it unjournalistic us well as bad taste to "dun" subscriber through the columns of a newspaper; therefore, we have never adopted this medium of asking our subscribers to call in and settle up. Delinquents j may, however, record this fact, and S remember it when they have a little *!iArp change. | "I t=r ?The Kickapoos gave a very good intertainment on Saturday night. At the conclusion, Dr. "West announced thai a handsome prize would be given to the most handsome woman in the hall. The choice was decided by I ballot. Miss Dixie Youngue, of "White Oak,, who is visiting in town, received the highest number of votes. ?"Various hypotheses are advanced as to the cause of this phenomenally beautiful and mild weather. One gentleman on the streets said that he thought the most plausible theory was that during the recent earthquakes the Gulf of Mexico was moved nearer to us. We shall forego any speculation on the subject. ?It is with pleasure that we learn from a number of gentlemen from the country that farmers are burying the disappointments of last year una are beginning the work of the present with vim and a will to make the most of a good crop of corn and are incited to make harder licks on ? ccount of the bright prospects of the oat crop. ?Maj. Pagan, who i9 visiting in Chester, in writing to friends in town, says i hat he will return in a few days and correct the false prophesies of the weather bureau. The Major often predicts with more success than those who proceed upon scientific bases. We are pleased to know that he is enjoying his v'eit among his friends in Chester. ?Mr. Leighton Hawes, of Hawes & Bro., at Horeb, left the door to the room adjoining his store unbolted on Saturday night so that his brother, who was out that night, might enter. Some party or parties entered and stole $147 from a cigar box in which. ' He ?ept ins money, joe juodiiisuh, h negro, was arrested on suspicion and earned before Trial Justice Trapp. ? Mr. James McCarley for a long time a resident at Blackstock, but lately a citizen of York County, died ' ill that county a few days ago, and was buried at Concord Church, at Woodwards, on Tuesday. Mr. McCarley was about 80 years of age at the time of his death. He has a number of children living in this county at present. We extend our sympathies to theui. ?A recent act of the Legislature provides that each military company in the State shall have twelve drills during the year, and sixteen men shall be the minimum number allowed for a drill. If these rules are not complied with, the company shall forfeit its proportion of the annual appropriation. The Gordons, no doubt, will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. ?Our young people, want some place to spend their evenings. There has been a demand for this some tiuie. We reiterate our suggestion that a literary club be organized to meet regularly once a week> and different subjects be assigned for discussion. This would be of great practical bene fit and a source of doing much good to the community. We have some good scholars, but there is a wide difference between a scholar and an educated man. The educated man is the man wilo can adapt his learning to his environment and give his fellows the use of his information. If we had these informal meetings we should all be mutually profited by them. Some Cheap Shoes?D. A. Hendrix has 24 pairs of Ladies' Fine $3.00 Shoes, sizes, 2 to 4?. These shoes will be closed out at $2.00. Also 36 pairs of Ladies' Kid Buttoned Shoes at $1.50, worih $2.00. This is less than these shoes cost, but we need the rnntiev and the shoes must SO. * Your First Duty.?The first duty of every citizen is to sustain his home newspaper and if he can afford to take but one paper it should be the one which gives the "local news." But there are few persons in the United States who read at all who do not subscribe for more than one paper. ?National Democrat. Death.?The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith died on Sunday morning about 5 o'clock. Their little son was only three months old. He took sick very suddenly on Saturday, and died of congestion of the stomach at the time above stated. The funeral took place at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon at 4. 30 P. M. * * wnite Oak Alliance, No. 991.? This Alliance will hold its first meeting at White Oak on Saturday, the 25th ir.st, at 10 o'clock a. m. All the members must be present on that day a<51hp new word and new secret work will be explained and other important business be transacted. All merchants wishing lo supply as with guano or plantation euppHc? will hand in their sealed bids to our committee or to the secretary by that day. Jxo. fi. Neil, President. S. lx.

Who Was Your Great Grandfather?-The Detroit Journal .desires to receive, by postal caid, the address of all living male and female descendants of Revolutionary officers and soldiers of 1776, and, when possible, the name and state or the ancestor. Wonder if W. H. Brearley, proprietor of the Detroit Journal, is contemplating a ? :j ?t.? .: ? ?i 9 raiu upuu kin: imuunai majin i * Gratifying To All. The high position attained and the universal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy Syrup of figs, as the most excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qualities 011 which its success is based and are abundantly gratifying to the California Fig Syrup Company. * The Boys Disappointed.?Every boy in town hailed with delight that Silas Paulding had swapped off his ox, Hense by name, a terror to the boys. - - 1 Hense is a very dangerous animai to ride behind, that is to say, Silas says he is; consequently Silas was never annoyed, as he often apprehended he would be, by the small boys stealing a ride when Ilense was left in the streets without his very cautious owner. The boys had a big jubilee?in fact they held a conspiracy meeting, when they lizard that Hense had been exchanged?and they resolved in their heai*ts to have many a good ride out of the new beast of burden. Butlo, the first time the new "cretur" appeared in town he ran away with the trustworthy owner Silas. Nfw A dvertisements . ? M acau 1 ey & Turner are complacently reviewing their success during the last year ar.d "pleased with the life that lingers with the new." They thank the public for a liberal patronage and announce that they will mark some articles down to aDnortnai prices. Q. D. Williford & Co. say they tbink it bad policy to brag beyond what you can stand up to, so they reserve their "brag" and make their bargains better than their customers look for. They have sold their fine dress goods like hot cakes, so call soon if you want to reap the benefit of their bargains in thia "iue. Eighteen hundred and ninety has found D. A. Hendrix with too many 1 goods on hand, and as he needs money more than goods he will sell cheap. Personal.?Mr. and Mrs. Stark , Martin, of Rocky Mount, were visiting in town last week. Mr. Jos.

McNaull, a highly esteemed member of Union Alliance of Fairfield County; be It, therefore, lesolved? 1.-That this irysterious dispensation of God's providence has caused us much sorrow; that we have lost from the Alliance a brother of high-toned, gentlemanly deportment through life. We find comfort trusting that this providence has brought to time the reward of a Christian faith. 2. That to this and all of God's visitations we are in full accord with the "Thy will be done." 3. That we extand to the bereaved family our nearueii sympiuuv m men mu bereavement and commend" thrm to the God of love. 4.

Bovlston was called by the silent voice of God, and his soul cheerfully answered. His death was not unexpected; the disease was consumption. Languishing, as he did, for day after day and month after month on his wearisome bed of sickness, he heard thr? with iov. Panoplied with the """ " V ~ ? A strong armor of Christian faith, he asked to die. 'The heavenly choir, who heard his notes from high, Let down the scale of music frOEi the sky; and with the sound of these harmonious and sweet notes "singing him to his rest," lie was borne from this earth of toil, cares and sufferings to the Paradise of God, where there is 110 pain from diseases that fill the body, no burning fever, and where the Rose of Sharon blooms forever. Robert Bentliam Boylston, the second son of the late R. B. Boylston and Mrs. S. C> Boylston, was born in "Winnsboro on the 16th day of October 1851. He received his early schooling at Mount Zion Institute, and subsequently, in 1869, went to +im T'nivwsif-v nf Sonfcli Carolina. but had to leave very shortly after matriculation as the negroes got control of the institution. He pursued his studies further at the University of Virginia, which institution he entered in 1870. Born of cultured and refined parents, with these high educational advantages and his extensive travels in Europe and tliis country, he was a man of no meagre attainments, and a most pleasant companion. He spent fourteen years in business in Baltimore, but was forced by failing health to return home hi October 1886. Air Boylston was a very pure man, with a character impregnable to a mean thing and a very warm and sincere friend. In his death, the last male member of the distinguished family, bearing his name in Fairfield County, passes away, as well as the last child of his distinguished father. Ilis body was laid to rest in the Presbyterian church yard at 4.30 p. m. Saturday. Pall bearers: J. G. McCants, H. N. Obear, J. Q. Davis, T. lv. JULiiott, D. Y. "Walker, T. W. Lauderdale. JFIRE! FIRE! The Old Fraser Place Burned?Origin of the Fire Unknown?Inmates Barely Escaped. It is not ofteu that our town, so well protected against loss by fire, is thrilled with the fearful tones of the distressing cries of fire, and the inlrequencv of the alarm only added to the emotion of terror that seized our people when about five or ten miuutes to one o'clock ou Friday morning Policer?ov> cppincr 51 bright reflection v" ??< ?.? ? O - ---o 3n the sky in the western part of the town, bagan to ring the fire bell* The_scene of distress and pending rain was the old Fraser or Law place, a large two story frame structure,.containing ten rooms, with a stone basement. It is now the property of Miss Mattie Gaither. The fire was first discovered-by Mis9 Gaither, who was aroused by the roarins: and cracking of the burning house. She saw that the western side of the hoiue was all ablaze. The origin of the conflagration and exactly the hour it started are equally uncertain. ? ' /' m ?1- - 1 \-Z*.U KeV. -J. lx. Vjriass, WHO. uuuius wiiu~ Miss Gaither, retired about half pasttwelve, and he neither saw nor heardanything giving warning of the destruction which followed only within a half an hour after his going to bed.' The inmates of the house barely escaped with their lives. Mr. Glass after awakening had scarcely time to throw on a few clothes and ' pitch a desk and one or two articles out the window when he was warued by the firemen to get out. Turning-to the two doors which opened in the hall'' he discovered that egress was cut off in that direction and he was forced to leap from the window. Fortunately however, the distance from the win. -t j dOW 10 ine grounu was very suuu, for this reason Mr. Glass received no injury by his jump. * * Miss Gaitber had her dwelling injured for 2000 dollar?, but none on the furniluie and household effects. Some of the personal property was saved; The whole loss above insurance will in all probability amount to $1500. The whole town in (hat quarter was filled with flying sparks, and the Episcopal parsonage, Mr. Egleston's and Major Pagan's houses were thereby ignited, but by the prompt assistance of citizens and firemen no damage was done to any of them. Prof. Gordon, of the Kickapoos, and Mr. Mullinax, who are not residents of our town but temporarly located here, deserve special mention for their zeai and effective work. So does' TCpIIv and Wvatt McMaster. both I colored. Mr. Glass lost about $1,000 dollars worth of property, consisting principally of books, besides all the records of St. John's Parish since 1814. He was insured for $300, Sl'IilXGIXG BUDS. Messrs. Editors: I read in your paper of jesterday's issue, "Mr. R. L.

It has been curreutly reported on c the streets for quite a number of days j that the authorities of the C. C. & A. r Railroad would abandon the passenger s depot.aud make suitable arrangements ct-n. l>nrrrt -froiorhf ftnH n?SSf>nO,er de- ? IV/ U?VU iUV itVi^uv v.v. ^ pots at one point. We interviewed a c great many of the merchants, as many as conld be found in their stores, late c Saturday afternoon. We first ap- c proached t MR. G. B. M'HASTER, 0 of McMaster, Brice & Ketchin, who is t the owner of the property now used as \ the passenger depot. He said that he c would be willing to make almost any additional change, with very little in- t crease of rent, rather than have the de- ( pot removed. He had sent the au- t thorities a diagram of the building as \ he proposed to reconstruct it. The c diagram gives two waiting rooms, one c befog the present, postoffice, one room t for express and another for the telegraph offices. Mr. McMaster said he c rafide this concession, not on account f of pecuniary benefit to himself, but for public convenience. t - J. F. M'MASTER, ' 8 Of J. 'F. McMaster & Co., on being 1 aifceftio give his opinion, said I don't * want , the depot changed. The com- 1 plaint is on account of the cr?wd of 1 negroes collecting in the waiting room, ? and I think this could be avoided by * proper action of the town council with * the co-operation of the ticket agent.;?* K. 51. HUET 1 c said; lam opposed to the moving of the depot from an entirely selfish motite'as it will tend to bnild up the southern end of the town to the detri- ( ment of the northern end in which I ( Jive and do business. The trade now * has a tendency to move South, and I * want nothing further to assist it. J. P. CALDWELL, t of Caldwell & Ruff: I favor moviDg < the depot unless something is provided * in order to avoid the big crowds that 3 collect there to meet the trains, espfici- ] ollxr /mi Snnrliufi ?II T Vii k^uctuv*j v* ] U. G. DESP0RTE8 ^ thought for the convenience of the < public let it remain where it is, pro- < vided, however, that the town and ] railroad authorities enforce the poi ice : powers to the extent of debarring- all persons from access to trains except , those holding tickets. If it is utterly ' impossible for those two powers to cora- ; bine so as to control the premiers, then I favor a new depot on the land < of the company. : C. M. CHANDLER, ! of Connor ss Chandler, said he won Id * rather see the depot right where it :Is. ; K. I*. LU-UFlUa did not want it moved because the srt- J uation was fV centra], therefore . the most roincflient. . ( R. T. MATTHEWS, ' of the Winnsboro Wagon Co., is bit- ; J terly opposed to the change. "Iff they;, changed, said he, I would quit riding \ on tho train and choose a raft in pr(i- ] ference." The change would makt; it]1 very inconvenient. G. A. WIIITK said it was a matter of indiffereBce to him personally but for the good of the town and convenience of the paidic, he thought it. ought to reraaimat its present place. II. LANDECKKR thought the depot as it now stsjfcfe is the best 7>lace because people have b<Jen wont to go there for so long a time, i It is more accessible. s. WOLFE I said one place was as srood as another 5' for hira. j R. J. M'cakley. | ot'R. J. McCarley & Co., said the! moving of the depot would be a most j serious matter with the cotton buyers, j especially ou account of the delay that j would be occasioned in the delivery of j " - * /> xr t-??_ ; what an; Known as u. xn. u ?, ui icjv- j grams coining' in every five minutes j and which require immediate delivery, j This is a big item with the cotton:1 dealers. \ T. W. LAUDERDALE, of D. Lauderdale's, thought the pro- f posed movement was a good idea and I that the location of the freight depot | was much better. The principal rea son, however, for favoring the chaDge UN BUS MORE THAN WE CAN PERFOR FINE DRESS GO< and then you will be left.

R. W. PHILLirS loped there woukl be no change. It | iuited business men better to have it; emain. j j o. BOAG, avored the change. He believed It 1 yould be a great benefit fco the town j n a great many ways, for instance it .vould give employment to hackmen md give more business to the dravnen, and thus bring more money into lie tcwn, and besides Ihe change vould avoid the crowd at the trains. W. R. DOTT, if W. E. Doty & Co., so far a? he is ndividuallv concerned, preferred it to eroain as it is because it was .centrally ituated aud passengers had a very short listance to walk to get to the hotels, .nd all in all the present stand is most :onvcnient. Q. D. WILLIFORD, >f Q. D. "Williford & Co., said that the :hange would be a good thiug.for the own because it would give somebody l chance of making a livelihood off of he traveling public, and this alone vould overbalance the inconvenience >f the long distance. T?T> ' nr "O A TTTT?V JLflW TT iJ* AiUUil old ns (o put bim down as emphati:ally opposed to the change, and he loped that the railroad authorities vould never discommode the people >f the town by moving the passenger lepot to ihe snperbs; the more cenral the location, the better. J. M. EEATY, if J. M. Beaty & Bro., said his preerence was to have the depot remain, tnd he.thonght that the convenience of he p!ace alone was sufficient to refute ill the arguments in favor of transfering the depot. He further said that he central position made it easier for " ' -rc it. raveiers alter geiuug on me wm each the hotels or their homes. The j iitnalion being so near the business; >ortion of the town it gave the e:c>ress department more business and ikewise the telegraph offlce. He hought it the very best place that jouid be chosen.

JL of Fairfield County standing-in need of good, pare spring water, and wishing to avoid expense and sickness by the use of well water, which has been pronounced by the highest medical authority to be very unhealthy aud unclean, causing sickness and expensive doctor bills?if not death in numerous instances. Now, instead of this unwise and expensive notion of well water, I propose to furnish good, pure spring water by the use of the celebrated New Improved Double-acting Compound Hydraulic Ram, which Inlly I guaran- tee to bring water out of any spring to your door, and that * ~ ? . 9 _?*.? oi tne nnestclass mine worm. jxeiiner distance nor elevation make any difference, as either is very easily overcome by the use of this celebrated Compound Rem. These' Rams are a new thing and as far ahead of the old style as a locomitlve driver is to an or driver, as the valves are made out of the best gun metal and very heavy, and are of tremendous strength, and will last for years and years. Still so simple in all its parts that a way-faring man, though a fool, caunot err therein. Just think of it, and think of it well; think of the days of our forefathers, with all its primitive modes . and all its awkwardness, ana toe progressive age in which we live; and then think on the water of life, that instead of boring," digging and contending at enormous trouble and expense,' possibly through rocks and other obstacles that can't be overcome, after enormous labor and expense and the cheap and easy manner in which it can be had by the use of hydraulic power. Besides, if you should be successful, what have you got? Why, an old well with some bad, stagnant water at the bottom of it, that in a hot, dry time in summer becomes the fceadquarters, grand rendezvous and swimming bath of all mice, rats, chickens, and even snakes, who can always succeed in finding their way in, but never iu finding their way out' .
