pleasantly enough, but on Saturday
night the workmen, friends of the
bride and groom, met together to celebrate
the happy occasion iti royal
style, and attempted to raise the flag
of Soot land. To this Mr. Wm. Rutland
objected lor some reason and
pulled it down; whereupon there was
qnre a commotion. At this point
things became decidedly mixed ami

to stale what did occur, until Mr.
Rutland drew his pistol and tired at
young Nickoisou, the brother of the

that he had one rib broken and

DEATHS.
It is not often thai two funeral processions,
slowly and sadly convening
somebody's; loved onus to rest,are seen,
on the same day, pa.=eiog through our
streets, and much less frequent has it
happened that two lamilie*, s-o close
neighbors, on the same street, in our
town, are called upon to watch anxiously
by th'i bedside in their respective
homes on the same night, but thi>
s&d coincident occurred last Monday
night when God called, and the souls
of Mrs. Marv Itebecca Williams and
Miss Mary Elizabeth Caldwell answered.
-Urs. wniiams.
Mrs. Williams hail been in very
feeble health for a number of years,
but since Jast October ?he had been
helpless. The deceased was married
in the year 1867 to the late \V. II.
Williams, who was at one time one of
the proprietors of this paper. To
them were born three children, two
daughters and one son, all three of
whom now survive their parents. The
mndioi- *T7?th he?i- lifMo ohll/1 I*PV1 _ in
1881, were callcd to mourn the loss
of a faithful husband and a loving
father. His death left her to bear a
heavy burden, but it only brought out
in clearer rays the beauty of the character
of a wife; for she illustrated
rare Chri?i: ui fortitude in bearing her
burdeu. iler maiden name was Miss
I Nelson. She spent most of her life in
Winnsboro, being forty-three years ot
age at the time of her death, and lor a
long time was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church, in which
churchyard her remains were laid to
rest on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

MisS Mary Elizabeth Caldwell,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cald-1
well, was cut oil, in the bloom of
young womanhood, about two hours
after Mrs. Williams. She was twentyfour
vears of age list February. She, j
too, had been in feeble health for a
long time, but, prudent as she was
friends thought the shock of her death i
would have been stayed off longer.
She was a young latfr of most estimable
traits, aud won the frieud3hip and

She had been a teacher in the Presbyterian
Sunday School, of which church
she was a member, and her tenderness
and atniableness soon gained the aflection
of her class of little children, who
will now bitterly miss her weekly
visits. Her funeral services were
conducted at the Presbyterian Church
on Tuesday afternoon at i> o'clock.

A Friend at the Burial of Mr. X. C. Robertson.
Messrs. Editors: It "rras my mournful
pleasure to attend the funeral services
at Bethel Church on Sabbath
afternoon, 20th inst., of my lifelongfriend
Mr. N. C. Robertson, who
quietly fell asleep in death at his home
on Saturday night, about nine oclock,
after a protracted illness of more than
seven months, during which time lie
bore his afflictions with true Christian
patience and fortitude expressing his
resignation to his Masters will.
The high esteem in which he was
held by his neighbors and acquaintances
was clearly demonstrated by the large
concourse of people in attendance at
: the interment. Quite a number of our
I town people were there. The pastor,
Rev. J. C. Stoll, performed the burial
service, and preached from Paul's
second letter to Timothy, -1th chapter
C and 8 verses, inclusive. We thought
the sermon a good exegesis of the text
and quite appropriate to the occasion.
If indeed funeral sermons are ever
aiiprupi lau;.
Oar friend and brother was an intelligent
farmer, a first-class citizen,
a faithful and earnest official member i
of the Methodist church, a good neighbor
and a kind and considerate husband.
Such a man will necessarily be
missed in his home, in the community,

Q. D. W
THE TILIMAX CONVEXTIOX.
Tri-Weekly 1Yews and Herald, April JO.
Messrs. Editors: The Tillmanites
have met in convention, have formulated
their alleged grievances, have
adopted a platform and have placed on
that platform the "only man," as he
himself save, "who has brains enough
and nerve enough" to lead a fight
against the Democracy of South Caro
lina. It is folly to say that this is not
"a split" in the party?that it is a
family quarrel?that it will be fought
out within the lines of the Democratic
party. The Tillmanites may call themselves
Democratic reformers and may
protest and proclaim their Democracy
to the skies, they may disclaim any
affiliation with Republicanism, but
they are not Democrats. Democracy
is the party which teaches doctrines of
a sroTernment of the people, for the
people and by the people. The convention
here was a convention of a

an-J has nominated a candidate to
represent, not the people, but a particular
class cf the people. Thtf crucial
test to deny the right to a seat in
Tillman's convention was not alle
giance to the Democratic party, Dut
the fact of belonging to a particular
class and following a particular occupation.
Now this is undemocratic and
dangerous, not only to the Democratic
party but to the white race in our
State. Tillman, in his speeches, has
made light of the dangers of a return
to negro rale in South Carolina; but
is it a subject to be lightly treated?
Let those who have had a taste of it
think and answer.
It will not do f>r these men (o plead

them to make to assert their bravery
on the field of battle and their allegiance
to the Confederate cause; it
must nor and ought not to avail them
now when they protest their Dcinocrary.
Men are to be judged |by their
present actions and not by their words
or previous good conduct when we
come lo determine the results of their
intended actions. And the Future is

claimed in season ana out 01 season ;

Republican of the blackest stamp.
When William Mahone started the
readjuster movement in Virginia he
claimed that it was a Democratic
measure; he declared that the fi?rht
would be kept within the lines of the
Democratic party; he claimed to gbe
the only true blue leader of true blue
Democrats in Virginia aud denounced
all who differed wiih him as "rinsrsiers,

FAIRFIELD.
A nr.PLY TO "FAIRFIELD."
Tri- Wcckly Xeics and IleraW, April 22.
1 r TT-TJ AAmmnn;.
7~o. JCjUUVTS. JL iiv; V/Uwiiuuiucation
of "Fairfield" in The News
and Hekald of the 19th inst, is in full
keeping with (he average misrepresentation
of our next Governor. It is
hardly necessary to advert to his
charge (hat Capt. Tillman said he was
the "only man who has brains enough
and nerve enough" to lead this fight.
No one can be made to believe this.
"Fairfield" charges a projected split
in the party, the Republicans iu ;7G I
charged Hampton with having fed his
negroes on cotton seed, both are on a
par. "Fairfield" may be charged
with as much truth of being lair.
Such charges are easily made. The
tirade against Tillman is based on
charges and accusations; ic requires
less grave matter than argument.
"The Tillmanites," he save, "are not
Democrats" because ' The Convention
here was a Convention of a particular
class for the benefit of a particular
class, and excluded from its
councils all other classes of citizens,
and has nominated a candidate to represent
not the people but a particular
class of the people. The crucial tost
to deny I he right to a seat in Tillman's
Convention was not allegiance to the
Democratic party, but the fact of belonging
tc a particular class, and following
a particular occupation."
Listeu at him. He must have bten
reading the rccent call issued by Mr.
Iredell Jones, Maj. Woodward and
Mr. Siinms for a conference? On ihe
23rd inst. Well our Senatcr has joined
in a call for a convention of such
' 'class," or rather part of such class,
tuiu mi; niuiuiv^ iiiiviv..w ?..w
proposition is, that lit is not a Democrat.
Well Tiilraau and the Major are
in the fcame boat. This is news to us.
Surely what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
Those who have fought for AngloSaxon
civilization, decency and good
government are not Democrats? Can
Fairfieid be intimately acquainted with
Democracy and make such charges?
From what source then does he
draw such inspiration? Can he be
long to a paity and ue ignorant 01 us
principles? What party? The answer
to this queston may be made
after reading the next paragraph. If
"Fairfield" is not sufficiently acquainted
with Democracy to know it, he
must excuse us for refusing to believe
gentlemen "not Democrats," because
he says so. And when he calls tkem
Independents we respectfully decline
to endorse such libels. "Men are to
be judged by their present actions."
This is the usual plea of the reformed
convict. Doubtless he is afraid "the
light of the past" might flash into view
some by-gone and shady transaction.
One, of such political antecedents, is
not a fit tutor to define Democracy to
?t.:~ rtftnntr And l(?f n<a
Uill> 11 CClUliJ wuuu. ?<.> ?
liere suggest to the gentleman, that it
is indeed poor policy if not absolute
folly to publicly stamp the fanners, as
a class, as being Independents. He
seems ta have a surprising familiarity
with actions of such men as Judas Iscariol,
Benedict Arnold, Chalmers, of
Mississippi, Mahone, of Virginia, J.
Heutlrix McLane, ct id omne genus; in
facc his most excellent acquaintance
with the records of such worrnies far

tance with Democracy. We have
always been of the opinion that the
world was too rough on that poor
Jew. lit sold his Master for 30 pieces
of silver, bat then it should be remembered
that he had the decency to go off
and die. We hare known some "who
would have sold their Master for considerable
less, and then brazenly set
up a prophecy shop to peddle out tarfetched
tind craven forebodings.
While Tillman was organizing on
the banks of the Savannah at Hamburg,
while this s-tme brave leader
was commanding the gallant and historic
Edgefield Iiussars on the field of
Ellenton, where, yes, wnere was tins i
doty statesman who now pollutes the
spotless name of our county with his
odious nom deplume?
Mr. Tillman, mar well be said, to be
in the position of poor old Leor, whan
he exclaimed: "The little dogs and
all, Trey, Blanche and sweetheart, see,
they all bark at me."

Messrs. Editors: "What has become
of the Wadesboro, Winnsboro and
T?Ailvnnfl? A rharfAr hja h^pn
granted, why not go to business?
These questions arose to me not long
since while 011 a trip to Chester
County. Everything seemed to be
prospering, and you could hear railroad
talk 011 every side. Chester
County has recently subscribed a bond
of one hundred thousand dollars by
taxation to build a railroad from Ches*
ter to the Falls on the Catawba.
About ten or twelve years ago she
subscribed to build one from Chester
village, via lticnDurg, to .Lancaster,
and wonderfully improved and built
up that portion of the county. Now,
as above stated, through liberality and
progressiveness they have determined
to develop that part of the county leading
from the village to the Falls, and
thereby put in motion a plan to utilize
the grand wafer power at West Point
the sacond.
Now, Messrs. Editors, I'm opposed
to the principle of building railroads
by taxation, but can we secure them

on]\' plan practicable. We can't get
capital to come to us unless we swell
its might/ bulk. Aud as we help ourselves
by making the rich richer, in
this particular instance, I say by all
means press forward. The building
of the W. W. & C. road, in my judgment,
would be of more benefit to
Fiurfifi'd fhan either of the roads sno
ken of in Chester County has been or
will be to that county. The water
power, as I understand it, is all along
the river from Mr. James Johnston's
to Mount Dearborn; so you see all the
wealth of the development would not
be centered iu Chester alone. Bosides,
the prospective road from
Winusboro to the Falls would develop
waste land that is far superior in its
natural state to that lying along the

yon have often been told of the beautiful
country lying idle all along the
river in Fairfield. Now it strikes me
that this is a parallel case with those
referred to in Chester, with natural
odds in our favor. More than that, I
think it would be Wise for Fairfield to
follow in the foot prints of Chester.
Chester, by her enterprise, has grown
to be a railroad centre, while Winusboro
has the C. C. & A. The anticipated
road from Alston to "Winnsboro,
thcnce to the Falls, would pass almost
through the ccntre of the county.
Now would not this railroad be of
such advantage to the county as to
warrant it in subscribing a tax? Of
course those right along the line that
would be directly benefitted would
subscribe liberally and independently.
I understand the Thiee C.'s contemplate
building a road from its most
p:acticable point from Lancaster to
the Falls, at an early date. c. s. f.
