done good; some of them arc turning

to the death of two of his fellowsalesmen

Both of these gentlemen are progressive

This work was done by Dr. Burner,
the State Chemist, ami the result has
more than equalled tbe highest anticipations
of the promoters of the enterprise
The chemical elements found
in cl&y which are injurious to or practically

iron ana lime. The finest clays of
Europe show by analysis from nine- tenths
of one per cent to five percent

comparison with this Dr. Barney fiuds 1
that the clays submitted for examina- 1

these injurious element?, while the (
proportions of aluminum is far in excess
of the proportion found in tie 1
average European clays.

last Saturday night. It scetns that the
negro, Iliiam Moore by name, had
sold his crop which wa-: under a lien
to a tiriu hi Chester, and also a mule
which he had rented. The firm,
Messrs. Gregg & Means, 1'cuud out
that their man was in thi< place and
tent Mr. Murphy down to arrest hun.
Mr. Murphy cumo down Saturday
attcrnoon and secreted himself until
dark and then with Messts. Gilbert,
Brown and limnnnn surrounded an
outhouse in Mr. T. T. Lumpkin's yar l
in which house the negro was known
to be. After much difficulty in gain
JUg U.11 ermaucc, Hie tirgru amti\ed
and locked up in the guard house,
but still this didn't pat an end to (he
110ubics of tlie officers of the law. In
the course of an hour (hereafter, abuut
11 o'clock, a cry of murder was heard
in the guard bouse. Mr. Gilbert on
enquiring of the prkoner what was
ihe matter, was told by the negro that
some one in there was trying to kill
him. but, when the door was opened,
out bolted the negro. A rou^h tumble

A Miss as Good as a Mile.?As the
freight train, which usually arrives
here about 9 o'clock a. *n., was passing
the house of Mr. Creighf, the axle of
one of the cars broke, ami one of the
wheels rolled some distance from i
the track grazing a sruni! ut-<:ro boy.
As incredulous as it mav >tem, it is
reliably told us that the wheel tore the
bov'a pants off him without hurtiig
him. A brakeinan was sitting on t< ?>
of the car to which the accident occurred
and he immediately applied the
brakes which, with the assistance of
the air-brake?, soon stopped the train.
So the brakeinan and the boy who was
standing in the wagon road both had a
very narrow escape; in fact but fur the
timely application of the air-brakes it
might have been a very serious occurrence.
Personal.? Mrs. Sturlevant and
son, of New York, are visiting at

Mrs. Benj. Harrison, of Indiana,

on her way to the land of flowers.
Miss Davis, the accomplished milliner

2lad to know that they will asjain be
able to rec ive her services in the

DEATH OF MRS. HALL AM.

orth to-day announcing the death, at

Andrew's Church in this city. Mrs.
laiiam was born in Uichmond, Virginia,
was about thirty-six years of
ige, and grew to womanhood in that
:ity, where she was greatly beloved,
kittle more than a year ago she came
vith her husband to this city, and
luriug* ncr unci luo.ncuiyu ucio
rreaily endeared herself not only with
he congregation ot St. Andrew's
jhurch, nut to all others who knew
ier,by her rare womanliuessand bright,
mnsbinv presence. She was a woman
>f rare physical perfection. The very
ipirit of health seemed to shine from
ier eyes and the radiant bloom of her
;heeks, and no thought of death could
;ver come in connection with her.
ret on Friday the message came, even
or her, and the pure spirit left its
>eautiful earthly casket and passed
nto the Saviour's tender keeping.
Sometimes at the bier ot loveu ones
ivho have beeu taken home, all can see
.he merciful hand ot a loving Father;
DUt thinking of that lonely home tolay,
of the husband with his great
?rief, ot the five little helpless children
aeart-broken and motherless, who can

COLUMBIA MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Columbia, iiarch 17.?To day tbe
capital of South Carolina is the scene
of one of the most exciting municipal
Ii,?m trMiiii ifc limits.
| CICUUOH* C?Ci lltiu niiiiiu ,
and the frieuds of tiie leading candidates
have left their business and are
at the polls bringing ail their energies
to bear upon :he voters. The chief
interest centres in the contest for the
mayoralty, and it is expected that it
will result in a close race.
Among the most prominent cadidates
for that honor is Co). F. W. McMaster,
one of the leading members of
ll,A r>/v?* An?*
lue uujuiijum uuij aim uuc wi vm ??.???
popular citizens, flis chances are considered
as good, if not better, than
those 4>t his opponents. Col. McMaster
has been a resident of Columbia
since he was eighteen years old, coming
here from Winnsboro, where his
three brothers and the remainder of
his relatives reside. lie is at present
the Senator from this County, and has
been foremost in all things for the
promotion of this city's interests.
He has a strong backing who will
endeavor to place him in the mayoralty
chair over his opponent?, Col. John T.
Rtietf, the present mayor, and Capt.
C.J. Iredell.
An aldermanic board, consisting of
twelve, is also lo be elected. Some
changes are probable.
Columbia, March 17 -808 P. M.?
[Special.]?Election quiet. Full vote.
Polls close ?t nine. Counting probably
at midnight. Many secret votes
prevent any just estimate. It is claimed
that McMasters strength is in first and
fourth ward?; Iredell's in second and
third, white Ithett gets si general vote
and probably leads bv a moderate
plurality. Second primary necessary.

THE FACTORY MEETING.
The meeting of the stockholders of
the Winnsboro Cotton Mil's was largely
attended on iast Friday night. Mr.
J. M. Stewart, president, was called
to the chair, and stated that the Board
ol Directors, having thought it inexnoninn!
I'i hatrtti immodioff-lr ill thi?
building of a factory with the present
paid np capital, called the present
meeting to asce? tain whether the stockholders
desired an abandonment of the
enterprise and, if not, what disposition
should be made of the money now on
deposit. It is sufficient to say that the
board soon learned from the stockholders
that the enterprise was not to
be abandoned, and the stockholders
showed by their enthusiasm that they
had the pluck to hold on and were determined
to have a cotton factory.
That Winnsboro will have a first class
cotton factory is now a settled fact, if
the decided sentiment of that full meeting
last Friday night is to connt for
a i! v tiling. - ,
There was not a great deal of discussion
becausc the motions made me>
with no oonositiou. it being the nnani
iuous wish of the stockholders only to
exercise a little patience and pull together
for the building of the factory. ,
It was decided, however, that the
article of the constitution which relates
to the payment of fines in caser of the
failure to pay the monthly instalments
be suspended nutil the first Tuesday
in October, and in the meantime the
board of directors be authorized to
make such investments, investigations
and call such meetings as may be to
the eir,crests 01 ail parties concerned.
It is possible thai (he b >anl will
look into the advisabilty of building a
warehouse this summer and so cons
ruct it thai it can be changed into a
factory building.
COMMENTS OX THE MASS MEETING.
Messrs. Editors: With your permission
I will give a few facts in regard
to the "so-called"' mass meeting. Why
was the meeting "so-called"? was it
from your pen? It seems so, or "No.
3" makes llmt claim. Now, was it
expedient for Mr. T. S. Brics to issue
this call? I say not; for if that had
been the case, the howl would have
been greater than ever. It is a known
fact that Mr. T. S. Brice is not president
of the Farmers' Association, it
being aeiuncc. so, we iinnK, mere
can be no objection to the call as it
was made; and the farmers, or a majority
of them, demanded a call of
some nature. Now, on the day of
meetiug, were there any objectians to
the call or meeting? None, but some
difference as to how delegates ahould
attend the convention, whether instructed
or nnh.structed. The minority
offered no argument, only saying
it was undemocratic lor the farmers to
meet in convention to discuss the ad- ;
visability of making nominations or
nominating a ticket in March; and I
should judge Iruin their taik at any
time. I never knew befo:e (hat democracy
hid its face one month in the year.
No, farmers, it is only a political dodge
fo hold yon back until the August
Convention, and then they will call
you fools for not. taKing steps in
Match. Why, we havo only to look
back to the last Demciatic Convention,
1SS8. They made the same argument,
then?undemocratic; yon have no object
in view. Now, we think we
know what democracy is and we
claim to t?>il under thf; shadow of irs
banner ami to h?- true to its cause, let
come what may. As to the smdl
number of votes cast, no one will deny
that was present at the meeting, that a:
one lime ilie Court House was somewhat
croicded; but fanners had other
business to atten-1 to, and the minority
knowing this tried, it .^eem-i, to rule
the meeting by delay. We can say
here that most ol those who were
forced to leave were in sympathy with
the majority, and >o expressed themselves.
The press is supposed to be
the light of ilu; community in which it
flourishes, and as you had two representatives
present on that day, we had

Tri- Weekly News and Herald, March IS.
Speaking of the Convention, I wish
to say that that pole cat and coon story
which I saw in the Tri-weekly News
and Herald reads putty good, and I
think fits the case line. Whoopee I but
aint that feller got a bad mouth; no
wonder Mr. Coon wanted him out of
his den, but the diel of it is his manners
smell worse than his breath.
When I was a 2)UPP}Ji Mr. Editor, I
was taught to be maunerly to everybody,
specially old folks. Nowadays
the cubs thinks it bully to chaw terbacker,
spout politicks, cuss grown
folks, and cavort round generally.
I was a reading True Dimmicrat
piece to <i nabor of mine and was a
wondering who he was ai^d wby*he
didn't sine his name and run for the
Sinate, for I seed by his writing th3t
he was sassy as a fire, and had took
the consate pun top 01 his self that he
was sum punkins. In fact, like that
onmentionable thing what was a floatir>a
nioncr with the aDnles. he was sure
"*? " O A.
he was doing it all his self, and was so
mortal smart that he couldn't help it.
Yon see he says lie couldn't; well, we
was a wondering and a reading and
a reading and a wondering, when all
to once we heard something which
sounded like Selah, ah, ah, ah, and
thereupon says I to my nabor, says I,
I'll be hanged if that aint a Jack.
Y<u are wrong, bud, says him to me,
says him, that's bob, he can't fool me.
Well, says I to him, sa\s I, you know
they are tweens, regular perlitical
Siaines tweens, which makes em
mighty close kin anyhow?bo I didn't
miss it fur.
And so it is with these kind of
animules; you may wrap him in silks
and laces, and put sheep skins ana
lion skins neo deep on bis back and set
him to prancing and cavorting and its
all right7 and he may scare some and
lool just about 39 in 1500, but let him
open his mouth outside and he is bound
to put his foot into it every time.
But continuing about the Convention,
from which my fondness for
nateral history had drawn me, I would
like to know how many times 39 will
go into 19 dimmicratic clubs in this
County? And also how many times
1500 voters will go into the 8 delegates
chosen by them 39 to represent us at
ths Convention.

To the Directors of the Cotton Mill:
Gentlemen. -Please excuse my presumption,.
but my interest in die
enterprise intrusted t? your care,
prompts me to say now, what I wanted
to say in the last meeting of stockholders.
You then suggested that we
put our money in a warehouse for the
present, which could be changed into
a miil building when we need it. I
am not surprised that such a scheme
should suggest itscir to your minus,
and if the success of the enterprise
depended upon the efforts of one, two
or three persons only it would be
advisable, perhaps. But in a large
company of stockholders, there are
serious objections to it. Many doubt
the success of a warehouse on the site
selected for the mill and these are
opposed'to their money being used in
that way. If the building were put
in the form of a warehouse and it
L XT
became prontaoie as sucn, uieu uicxe
would arise a division among the stockholders
; those who want a factoiy for
its life giving influeuce against "those
who want an immediate profit on their
investment. Were you to build in the
form of a warehouse, those who are
opposed to it would sell their stock
at a sacrafice, which would destroy
confidence in the enterprise, ancl per"

B. R. Tillman Mentioned for Governor. !
Messrs. Editors: The fanners have .
taken advantage of the favorable J-:
weather and have their land in splendid
fir. Every thing looks business '
like with new fences etc. Early sown
grain is not doing well on account of
insects. Upon examination, I find
that the recent snow and cold nights
have pretty well destroyed them.
Late sown oats are growing nicely.
There has been quite a quantity of
commercial fertilizers used this season,. !
in this neighborhood. Cotton seed
meal, acid and Kainet being more
generally used, as it is practically a
complete manure and costs less than
any other. The negroes, are -working
well, but arc considerably wrought up
about going to Arkansas. It seems
that those of them that are getting
along best are the most anxious to
leave. "We should encourage them to
go, and solicit immigration from ;Ire- ;

can't afford any thing of the kind.
I remember in 1888, when Mr. McLane
bolted the Democratic party,
and came to "Winnsboro to speak on
that line, some of those mass meeting
men and legally elected delegates of
the 3nd inst. refused to allow any
tiling of the kind; although the
County Chairman said in a very decided
manner that he (McLane) had a
right to speak and that right should
be respected, or something to that
amount. So much for their judgment
and patriotism. But they are
willing to follow their bold and fearless
leader Capt. B. R. Tillman. He
is evidently the father of the Farmer's
Association, in the Palmetto State at
so early a date. We all know he
i spoke and wrote on the Rev. Sam
I .lonps stvle. so as to reach the farmers
in their deep sleep, but I trill go two I
to one that he will put on the style
and dignity of a Conkling, when "he
gets to the House. He has prepared
the tillers of the soil for a great -work.
Now let us all give liim a great big
office brim full of honor and emolument
in appreciation of his worth to
the State. Respectfully,

L. T. TT. DISCV883SS OF TBE HJ.Y.
Messrs. Editors: Ruminating this
snoTry day, -while mother earth is clad
in a carpet of white and nothing of
importance on the farm can be done,
on the various issues being brought
before our people claiming' to be in
the interest of the farmer, I have
decided to send yon a copy of the
National Economist, the official organ
of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial
Union, with several marked pieces
therein which I would be glad for you
to publish if you see fit and have the
space, but more especially those two
pieces relating to the care taken of the
ir>f?7?ocf ? f fhia <vmntrv bv
H a_uw*V*-?v v* w ^
Dur National Government in comparison
to its agricultural interest, and a
bill introduced before Congress by
Hon. Jno. A. Pickier, of South
Dakota, embodying the demand of the
farmers of this country. The Democratic
party was prominently portrayed
3y ex-President Cleveland; there were
mportant reforms, namely, tariff,
jallot and civil service reform, but I
ilaim with the Economist that financial
eform is of far more importance to
;he poor man of our entire country
ban any of these -whether he be
Democrat or Republican.
Our own honored representative* in
he United State Senate, more especially
3ren. Butler, and our leading state
papers seem to be very much disturbed
>n the race question, but I am very
n-f fho camp nrnrrion as Missi
;sippi's 20,000 acre cotton planter:
'There is no race question where
legroes have plenty to do, to eat and
o wear."
Mr. Richardson also says "the races

me. The whites are not adapted to
he soil and we do not care for them.
Che blacks, when by themselves, make

md think the negro is the best labour

brother cannot sell his corn but must
leeds bave it to keep off winter's chilling
blast. There the hog and hominy
fteory is practiced to no avail, and
iere'it is preached to no avail.
But, Messrs. Editors, this is leaving
;he question on which I started out. - ?
Touching the . interest of the fanner
in our own state, if he would lend ac _
jar to some * of those who claim to ^
champion the fanners cause you would
suppose that he had a plenty of every
thing else but a collegiate education
which must be given him in Ms own
special college at an.expense of tens
of thousands of dollars per annum.
And now, Messrs. Editors, how many
of the poor farmers of . Fairfield,
would be able to dress and keep "their
sons at this college even after all -'this
expense? I claim that the college
will do the poor man no. good,:bnt
place our public schools,on a sound
footing ana give them the hundred
thousand dollars per annum and
enable them to run nine months in
the year. This would benefit the poor
farmer ten times as much as an agricultural
college. How many of the
farmers in our county can spare their '
children from a continual struggle' __
for the necessaries of life in their
present condition to spare the time to
send to our common schools more
than three or four jnonths during the "
* x ? ^ ",l-" moo
winter: jme vicmavu
benefit those in its immediate Ticinity.
Bnt any farmer that is "able to' send
his son to college, has the State University;
the Citadel* and a nnmher of
denominational -colleges ready and
glad to have his patronage, and most
of the farmers wcnld patronize these , -?
schools in preference to the other any
way.
We may need a reduction of salaries
and expenses in the management of
our state government. We may need
reduction in the expenses of courts,
and county government. But so long as
the farmers who comprize four fifth*
of the voting population of these '
United States pay no attention to how
their interests are looked after in the
national government financially so
long will they be used as the cat's paw
and the longer they are used the worse
fchey will be scorched. Let the fanners
of this country make a big ring around
Washington and be very particular
who gels therein.
If you do not exchange with the Econ- f
mist, I would be glad to send occasional
extracts for publication for the
information of some that do not take
it in our county. l. t. w.
