One gentleman remarked that : as soon as the weather moderated he . intended to plant. He wanted to l have all his cotton in the ground by *the 25th inst. ?Notwithstanding (he fact that the lair weather flag was flying, and that t the weather despatch reported ris-1 ing temperature, it oegan 10 snow ; Friday at 4 p. in., and from the way it fell ali evening, it looked like we were goiu^ t? be snowed in. ?The authorities at the Oil Mill inform u* that the demand for cotton seed meal far exceeds the supply. The mill at this place linds a ready market for all the meal it can make. It is said that the great demand for meal is the case all over the state. ?Mrs. Sadie Iiussell. widow of i>. E. Russell, formerly of this county, died in Columbia on the 5tli of February and her remains were interred in the cemetery of that city. The . deceased was a neice-in-law of 3Ir. R. II. Jennings and leaves two little boys to mourn her loss. ?It is only a few days now till the .meeting: of the stockholders of the A [ cotton factory will be held. We hope ; eveiy one will think carefully before he votes, to discontinue the project. An abandonment of the enterprise altogether, in our judgment, will be a most serious mistake. ?While Mr. Saml. Cathcart, of Adger, vias leading a colt, which he had just driven from Winnsboro, through a gate at his home place, the animal became frightened and unruly. In the effort to restrain it, Mr. Cathcart had his shoulder dislocated. Dr. J. 0. Buchanan was summoned and administered to the relief of his patient who is reported as getting on rerv well. ?Said a lawyer to us a few days ago: "I keep my card in your paper because I think after one commences an advertisement, it is exceedingly bad policy to withdraw it." That is sound philosophy. "When a merchant I advertises a short time and stops, the public argues in a war something like this: Well, that fellow is either rra+rirxr oc mrif'h ft* WailtS Or he is indifferent as to -whether hi increases his business or not. Financial.?As shown by the quarterly report of the Wiunsboro National Bank there are $88,164,05 on deposit and the loans and discount* amount to $160,506,38.

He volunteered in Company C. 12th S. C. V. and served throughout the Confederate War. He leaves a wife and two children. He was sick only about twenty-six hours, suffering from an attack of spasmodic colic, which caused his death. His remains were interred on Tuesday at 4 30 o'clock at Horraah Church in the presence of a large gathering of friends and neighbors. Peace to his ashes. Paid for Guessing.?The Nacs and Courier, is getting' up a guessing bee and with its usual liberality is offering big prizes to the best guessers. The question guessed at is the number of bales of cotton of the crop of 1889-90. The first prize is o tons of fertilizer. Anybody and everybody is invited to guess. The only requirement is the guess shall be recorded on a guess ballot published in the weekly Xeics and Courier and accompanied by five cents in stamps or coin. You may guess each month and if you are the best guesser get a prize each month. Get a copy of the "Weekly, fill up a ballot, try your hand and?win a prize. ' >^ ? %' ; cce Quim Boxum."?The B. I*.

It is stated on reliable authority that there is actually twenty-five dollars iu the treasury, and that the purpose of the society is to further the interests of those who have an eye to the ma; rimoiiial question. The money on hand, at the time of the marriage of a member, is given to the lucky, or as a B. P. U. says "to the poor deluded," hus!bat,d.

Being the wife and daughter of a farmer, I naturally feel jealous of their honor, and regret that even a feic should embibe the sentiments of Mr. Shell. Surely the stirring days of'76 have not been forgotten, now, the services of those "true and tried" sons of Fairfield Maj. Woodward and Gen. Bratton. The idea of charging such lead ers as these, \vith being subject to ringrule is preposterous! Farmers, compare our condition during and since the dark days of Radicalism, and, for the sake of the mothers and daughters, beicare how jou desert the old standard bearers! I ihiuk Maj. Woodward ought to be our next Governor. I feel aure that a majority of the women of Fairfield would use tneir lnnnence witn iamer, brother or sweetheart to place the heltn of State in hi# hands, hunting Carolina has no son more pairiotic or worthy of confidence. Fakjiek's Wife. LETTER JFR03Z JTO. 3. Messrs. Editors: I have read your rrr.nvf nf fhA so-r.alloil mass meetinsr and must say thai the whole affair falls far short of what one would expect from a representative body of farmers in Fail field whose people hsve never been second to those of any County in the State to good breeding, intelligence, good brotherhood and patriotism. But I am sure that they still realize the iinportanoe of good government, as well as the fact that it r;an be maintained here only by preserving the touch of the elbow among all good men. But I am glad that only thirty or forty sell-appointed men constituted this mass meeting. It were greatly to be hoped that the actors in this movement should be thoroughly imbued with a desire to better the condition of the farmers, which without doubt is bad in South Carolina ami is much worse in many :>thcr Stales. Cut it is palpable to all Lhat this fuss is made entirely in the interest of cunning men who seek to jblam office. The question, then, is, trill our people be fooled into measures which if they do not disrupt will surely weaken the bonds of the- Dtm:ratic party. Already the Radicals and Independents are picking their ?ars and listening eagerly to the mutQivtwrs nf tl?? HJacrrnnfIpfl nnlifir.tanS The good people of South Carolina sertainly cannot afford to quarrel, and my steps taken to forestall the action jf the regular Democratic organiza:ion of the State should be frowned iown by ai! sober-minded people who ralue good government more than hev do the success of scheming officeseekers. no. 3. A VOICE FKOJI HE Alt CREEK. Messrs. Editors: Where did they jome from anyhow? There warn't my from these diggins, in fact we ladn't heard that Boss Lemon and selah Morrison bad took charge of the nachine. We were a waiting for Shanty Brice to call us np as he was ;he President of the Farmers' Association and wc knowed his head was evel and that he warn't likely to be operated on by visiting statesmen, so lot hearing from him we concluded he jig was np and didn't turn out. But the Boss was there, and Mr. Selah Morrison was there, and I am lot badly disappointed after all, specially since I read Mr. Morrison's snnftph I'm cftiTV T WJlVTl't fhfirfl :o hear him, for I heard a feller say hat he ju$t rolled up his breeches legs lollered Selah! and waded right in ind immediently there was a moving jf waters and a passage was opened -ight np to the Columbia Convention. [ am glad that convention took place, Cor this, Selah, Mr. Morrison and the Boss might have continued to have vent their liffhts under the Deck meas t~ o r m. ire, the one af" Shady Grove and the :>ther at Jackson's Creek, as it is, being ?e only two speakers for the nomination tbev are going to give a new deal ill around, Selah! and Mr. Morrison *re going to mafct the lawyer learn us bow to sue and be sued, issue writs ind slap damicusse?, applv .for habeas carcass and all sicb. Selah! He's roing to force the Doctors to sh?w us Eiow to mix jolup and calimy and howto work on sickly wimrain and puny children. Selah! He's going to circumnavigate the State House ring with a bigger ring, Selah! and he's ifoing to make 'em tell us poor farm 2rs as walk# a plow line lengtn Deninu mules, Selah! all" they knows about running government and alt sicli. Selah! He's gonig to do better than ill this, he's going to stop that infernal jourt house ring, including ths judsre, Selah! frotn sending out bench warrants against farmers, and I suppose the Boss is going to help him, altho' I beard he was powerful perticular and 3idn't seem inclined to say what he was ^oing to do. This is all exactly right andwish ?em good luck, but they had better hew to this line and 'low us Democrats to tend to the nominating of our own officers. There's going to be a shaking of dry bones before long, anil I has heard there was some Legislature timber and some Sheriff material and County Commissioner stock aboard, f-o look <>Hf. boys, and keep your heads level, visiting statesmen didn't save Billy Mahone altho' they was sent out by the President of the United Slates.

That city seems to be a place morn- fjririAr* nn<1 nthpve whf> *Y II^I u UlUlij 4.WI tuv* W V...V* w%..v. W ?M* for many years have failed to tnake a living can go and make a success. Though it is lamentable that it is hard for $ome to tnnke a living in Fairfield n:id in Wiim-boro it is gratifying that a condition f-hou'd arise in a neighboring city that meets the varying capacities of these pnople and enables them to make an honest living. This shows the great iniportas.ee of diver SUV 01 UCClipailUJl lKJ UUUUiC 4 WUil'i; to advance in wealth and population. Without looking into all the causes ol renewed life in Columbia that enables it to >uppot t a rapidly inerea.-ing population, it is enough to my that aflei the Hiuiuln? given by the educational advantage afforded there and only obtained after a hard stiuggle against the old fogies, the cjnal has given i great impetus to tfce building up of th< fl \ . v .. city. But the greatest of all factor8 are the railroads that have centred there and are now radiating in seven directions. But Chester, twenty-eight miles north, a town in a county certainly not as rir.h natnrallv as Fairfield, is I - ? J ?' ' now becoming a railroad centre, having outlets by rail in six directions. That County, being alive to the value of railroads, is about to subscribe another hundred thousand dollars to the Atlantic, Asheville and Knoxville Railroad, and then Chester will be more of a railroad centre thau any place in the State. The magnet will soon begin to act and the npper part of Fairfield will be drained to make population for Chester. Will Fairfield still allow its people to be absorbed by neighboring towns, or will something be done to keep our people at home and build up our ivaetc places? Better Columbia and Chester than Arkansas; but shall we permit our people to go anywhere? That is the question. Who among our people who are raising boys and girls eipect them to settle here? I don't know any. The rule is to spend your money and your life in raising children, and as soon as the boy6 grow np, and the girls marry, goodbye to old Fairfield. Off they are to some place where the people arc not all asleep. wide-awake. FEATURES OF THE LATE MASS MEETING. A Few Declare the Voice of Many?Very Few Localities Represented?Mr. Morrison's Ring. Messrs. Editors: Referring to some of fhe peculiar features ot the late r...? ? ~ T An. iaiiucio mass luc^ni^, ?v-uaiicu, * v*osire to note the following: From Longtown there was one representative; from Bear Creek none; from Biythewood none; from Cedar Creek two or three; from Mossy Dale two or three; from Horeb one; from Jenkinsviile none; from Monticello two; from Feasterville none; from Greenbrier three or four; from Oakland none; from Ridge way three or four. And it was clearly indicated that the sentiment from Gladden's Grove aud from Albion was opposed to March nominations. Whence came those thirty-nine representative farmers who by their unpledged and revolutionary ideas propose to shape the destinies of the I 1 " fA f a rtniit n i'tto t ' r*n WAtrtl'O | XkJ\/ \J ciaiu? ccuaig iv uoui vau rv tvivio of this County and inflict a stab upon Democracy, which it will take yeariof patient nursing to heal? Was this meeting packed? Was there a ring? I take the cue from Mr. Morrisou, their champion, accept his public statement that he intended a ring. Now it is not my purpose to reflect upon any citizen who attended the meeting; they came as good citizens, as they had a right to do, and I commend their pluck and promptness and would be glad if our people generally would imitate tneir example by attending. I like a man \rho has the courage of his convictions and will cotne out and fight for them. But it is also true that 110 suap judgment should be taken, no party verdict rendered when the issues are so grave. It cannot b? denied that there was a want of that fairnes?, equity, forbearauce and politeness which have heretofore characterized the proceedings of our farmers. In view, therefore, of all these things, would it not 11 ?a11 AmAittAM %vi A^f'n/v Ue well lU tan auuiuci uiccnug t'liui to the assembling, of the March Convention, which would be more represented as to localities, with a view of ascertaining the views of our people. I do not propose that the delegation shall be changed at all, but it does seem to me that it would strengthen the hands of onr delegates to know thSt they represented a majority, and at the same time should they prove to be in a minority as to nominations in March, I don't believe that there is one of them who would wish ?- 1 - 4 ~ V*?e lO ViUJiUC IUC BCliuujoui v* mo ^w^iv There is no reason why Mr. Meares' resolution about submitting to the arbitrament of the regular Democratic Convention in June should amount to anything more than the resolution unanimously adopted in the Farmers' Convention two years ago declaring that politics were utterly foreign to the whole schcme. Now the way to keep down dissension* and bolt# is by pursuing a wise, conservative and above all au open, frank course in all oar dealings. Once the whirlwind is sown who is to restrain it? The breach in our ranks is very small and don't amount to a row of pins, but insist upon this new departure, this violation of the 8tii Article of our Constitution without which we solemnly declared in iko trying days of '76 in'conveii ioa assembled when we. our hearts and souls, were purified by the trials ot adversity through which ?" M7orp ^Assinc*- that there was iioth "v " v'v r o ing in the Democratic creed without it; let this minority, as I houestly believe, go to Columbia and fasten upon us ihis outrage, and I predict a righteous bowl of indignation which can only be prevented from destroying the Democratic party bv the undemocratic prccedare of the majority going to the minority. I, therefore, solemnly warn the farmers of this County to pause and reflect; with the fear of God before me, and with a heart full of patriotism, if I know myself, I ask you to be sure that you arc not being led by demagogues and official aspi ? ? ?

"V "TllVE DEMOCRAT" i Takes Issue With Maj. Woodward. ! Messrs. Editors: In jour issue of March 6th I read with a deal of amusement the commuDicatiou "A few de-. clare the voice of many etc." by Maj. Woodward. The learned Senator seems to wax ; wrathy beneath the burden of his late j defeat, at least if his "tale of woe" carries with it any truth whatever, that one Mirely looms tip in brighter relief than any other. Maj. Woodward, as usual, without making any argument as to facts, belchss forth a most unmerciful tirade against all who dare oppose bira and his dictatory ideas. lie sees fit to brand those participating in the Mass Meeting, as revolutionists, assassins of Democracy, would-be-inaugurators of Independentisra, and various other vituperations either in substauce or in fact, which ' 1 ' i J l would De as useless ana lioiiJicusumi iur me to try to enumerate as it was for the Senator to have ever so unjustly showered upon us. Being a member of the meeting I indignantly repudiate any such notions as those attributed by Maj. Woodward, but on the contrary I dare say that the other farmers present "it t-hey knew themselves" felt as though their "hearts were as full of patriotism" a* that of their esteemed representative. However, we will not be so jyrcsumpticc as proclaim ourselves patriots and the like, we claim no honor for what has been done?'twas our duty. We were prompted by no greed for office, just whether or hoi the name motives inspired Senator Woodward, let the people of Fairfield Conntv surmiae, for 'tis not hit purpose or tnv intention to here throw out any insinuations whatsoever. Of course, I have iny opinions about the matter, so alss have a vast number of this county. " Was this meeting packed?" Yes, Senator, most positively, if by packed you mean opposition to your measures and tyranical ideas. 41 Was there a ring?" No, thanks to God, but not yourself, thei? was not. : We notice further iu this peculiarly ridiculous piece the following: "It is not my purpose lo reflect upon any citizen who attended the meeting, they came as good citizens, as they had a right to do, and I commend their pluck and promptness and would be - - ? - 11 u glad it our people generally wouiu immitate their example. I like a man wh:> has the courage of his convictions etc. etc." The above in itself is all very nice, but read further and you will find that these self-same men, who were but a few moments before the subjects of his admiration and praise, turn suddenly into revolutionists, demagogues, and perjurers, for 'twould be naught else but perjury were we to forget our pledge as set forth in Mr. Meares' resolutions, and our votes thereon. The Senator further charges a lack of equity, forbearance, and politeness in the meeting. We can recall none, save perhaps when he, himself, very impolitely arose to leave the court room. Now, fellow-citizens, Maj. Woodward harps at length upon the small attendance, surely he cannot regret this fact more than we. Everyone of the 1500 honest voters of this County should have been present if possible, and given their views.

Though he was in feeble health several mouths lie was a patient and uncomplaining | sufferer; he was gentle and kind in his dealings, but, alas! he is gone; we mourn the denth of our brother, but not like those! that have no hope, for while his body rests in the silent grave we have a reasonable'hope that hie spirit is in the beautiful home of the soul where sickness and sorrow, pain1 and death arc felt and feared no more; ard we trust he is now feasting on the beatitudes and glories of the heavenly world: therefore, be it resolved: 1 That vre. the members of BIythe wood Frriaers' and Laborers' Union, Mo. 141, do sincerely lament the departure of one of our number, and endeared to as by his uniform good deportment a id his kind and gentle v?av. 2"^That in his death the Alliance has lost "a worthy member and the community a good citizen. 3.
