The case was J. ^li. Arledge cs. I the AYinnsboro Granite Company to j recover for the use of some land be-1 longiag to the plaintiff nkich had been \ used by the Granite Company as a! loading- place on the railroad, A verdiet for the plaintiff for fifteen dollars i was rendered. Mr. J. AV. Hanahan j represented the plaintiff and Mr. J. E. i McDonald the defendant. ?Since ihe railroad election was j carried people at a distance hare! found out that there is Siich a place in j the State as Fairfield County, and that | - the zouiuj seat is Wiunsboro. SeY- ; erai letters hare been receired iiere, | . inquiring abont our resources from ' capiTaliits at the North, which have j ;receired proper attention. We are I getting out of the old rut rapidly, and it rests with our people theniselres to see that we stay out. We cau?t expect J ?o hft nulled out and keDt out entirely i i by others. If w? all do our share, in a | ^verv few years we will see such a : change in our condition that will j surprise the oldest inhabitant, ?TUe trustees of the Columbia canal, with the approval of city coun- j cil, have sold the canal to a Northern i syndicate, composed principally of j ;Massachusetts men, who are desirouR j of iureitins: their money in cotton i mills in the South where profits are j greater. The purchasers will finish j Xhe canal, furnish 500 horse power of j water power to the citr, 500 to the j I Higkest of all ia Leavening Power ABSOUll penitentiary, 500 to the assignees of Snllivan Fenner, provide at proper places under the canal sufficient sewers for the use of the city, put $1,000,000 in a mill plant on the canal within three verre, and pay $200,000 cash. We congratulate our neighbors, and advi?e 5hp people of I airfield to get ready as the boom will soon strike us. We have in the Catawba Falls the finest water power in the South, i.nd soon there will be a manufacturing town there that will enhance the value of real estate for ten miles around it full one hundred per cent Be ready for at a time ye think not the boom will strike. ?Now that reform seems to be the order of the day, we suggest as a starter that our County Commissioners make the necessary arrangements to conduct the business of the county on a cash basis. We understand they have the authority of the Legislature t? borrow mtuey for that purpose, J and we think the county could save j money by doing so, and the creditors ! of the ccnntv be oreallr benefited. Our salaried officers, such as Sheriff and Probate Judge, are supposed to be paid quarterly, when in fact all tbey get is a certificate which they either have to hold until the Treasurer is in fuuds, which is generally at the end uf the year, or discount them at a biir rate of discount. None of our i-ffice holders are rich and are not able to do without, their money and we think it is unfair to compel them to discount their salaries in order to live, when the law evidently intends they shall be paid in ctsh. All parlies livm the man who contracts to blast a rock out of the public highway to the man wh-? contract* to build a bridge, will T?ork cheaper when he knows lie will be paid cash when his work is doue, and ml in paper that he has to discount ten prr cent, without regard to the lime it has lo ran. *rChildren Cr.y for Pitcher's Castoria.

Fkrrill, Keif's Bluff, Ark , January 2S, 1S91. ?The world-wide reputation ?f Aycr's Sarsaparilila is the natural result of its surpassing value as a blood medicine. Nothing, in the whole pharmacopoeia, effects more astonishing results, in scrofula, rheumatism, general debility, and all forms of blood disease, than this remedy. * SUJLXEFUL coy DUCT. Messrs. Editors: We are sorry to learn or uie uuci eonuuci 01 sonic 01 the thoughtless on Sunday night. Several ladies and gentlemen who attended service at the Methodist Church on this occasion report that they were much disturbed by certain boys or young men. who, with an utter disregard for the comfort of those near by, and for the minister, to say noth- j ing of the disrespect manifested for j TTaiisp of kent nn a buzz of i whispering and indecent spitting. This thoughtless and disgusting cou- > duct has V en ivported t', the authorities of the church, and we assure the public, whom we cordially invite to these services, that they shall be an-; noyed no more. This church is opened at night speci-; ally for the accommodation of those j who uo not or cannot unciiu truism^ . in day time; and it is a sad reflection! upon the behavior of our growing up young men for such disturbance to | occur.

The order of the day. in this section, is wet weather ami marriages; and ^vhile these two items are not exactly in the same category, yet they are sometimes saillv missed together. Our farmers are late beginning work. Scarcely anything- has been done except hauling guano over roads | so bad that a ton is about as much as four mules can cam*. And risrht here I hare a good mind to pay my | private individual respects to guano j and bad roads botii. Well, I shall as to foreign fertilizers. I believe from long and pretty close observation (but not from experience), that when everything is duly weighed and considered it is the greatest humbug by which the farmers of South Carolina have erer been deluded, ret I believe in improving land, and I also know that in this ueiiei i am m a >uni:i minuiiij. As to bad roads. "We have good road laws if they ^vere carried out, but they are not. Overseers of roads run over two or three miles of road in about half a day or a day at most, about twice a year, sometimes once, and sometimes not at all. The pressure is so great against working that it is considered a virtue to hurry over it; the hand don't want to come back the next day.

It causes stock to be overstrained and often cruelly treated, especially in the winter; wagons and all other vehicles are more or less injured, and sometimes broken: the traveler greatly impeded in his journey and, his righteous soul vexed at the perils of the way. And yet the law gives us twe^^ lavs in the year to work the ro^JBpbi COVET TJtOCEBDiy'GS. The Court of General Sessions convened oil Monday at 10 o'clock a. m., Judge J. B. Kershaw presiding'. Only thirteen grand jurors answered to their nam:s. Mr. Thos. Hlair was appoint ed foreman by ihe Court. The Jud^e fully explained to the grand jury the nature of their general j duties Among other things he called attention to the law against carrying concealed deadly weapons. Courts have been condemned tor not carrying out the law and Judges blamed for their want of action. With regard to the reproach of the judiciary, hit Honor said that the law left it discretionary with the Judge whether he should sentence to imprisonment either in jiil or penitentiary, or the payment of a fine. Now Judges are human and are endowed like other men with" o.,/J Twlmii q tmincr j mciuiiui lnciin^^i huh. ? j vUUe man is convicted of carrring concealed deadly weapons and the matter of sentence being left by law to the discretion of the Judge, the Judge will sentence to the jail always; yet Judges were blamed for not doing otherwise, when the fault lay with the law, and if the people of the State want that law * - - - - < L ? enforced let me peopie iate away mc discretion from the Judge and make the penalty a fixed one. Yet after all theie is only one xray to secure the benefits that are intended to be derived from the enforement of that law, that is, the careful, religious and moral training of the family.

The wedding of Miss Nannie Lee McCrorey, daughter of Mr. W. T. McCrorey. of Glad(lcn?s Grove, and Mr. W. P. McCollough, of Clieiter County, occurred February 11, 1891, at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The attendants with a few iirited guests met and dined at the residence of the bride's father at 10 o'clock p. m. leaving for the church at 2 p. m. Promptly at half past 3 o'clock the wedding party entered the church to the music of the "wedding inarch" beautifully performed by Miss Susie Mackorell, of "Rl.iekstoek. First came Misses Sue McCrorey anil Lila Thorn, Misses Lu McCrorer and Mattie Thorn, Mr. Andrew J. Mobley, ? Woodward, aud Miss Adalize Thorn, of Blackstock: Mr. D. G. Anderson, of Richburg and Miss Lore Motley; Mr. Gamewell Ferguson and Mils Emma Mobley. of "Woodward: Miss Mattie ' McCrorey. maid of honor, entering alone. The bride then entered on the arm of her brother-in-law Mr. M. II. Moblev, and vras met at the alter by the groom and his best man Mr. William atoll. "Lo the nuptial bower He led her radiant as the morn; all Heaven And happy constellations on that hour iShed their selected influence; the earth Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill; Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gentle airs Whispered it to the woods, and from th?ir I wings Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub, Disporting till the warblins bird of nisht ; Sung spousal, and bid haste the evening j star j On his hill top, to light the bridal lamp." The ceremony was impressively performed by the Rev. Mr. Hav, ef the 11. E. Church. A very novel arrangement of leaving the church was here introduced. The attendants preceded the bride and groom up the aisla forming- themI eanh glide of the aisle, and j between them the bride and gr?om ; passed. The bride'i dress wa? pure white with : court train, and she carried a botiqnet of white hyacinths. The bridesmaid'* 1 dresses were white clinging material | the quaint sh?rt waists were tied with j broad orange sashee, fall orange i sleeres and medici collar. Termed j in society parlance, white and gold i wedding. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of mistletoe tied wiih white ribbon, The bride and grooin also stood beneath a canopy ol win let**. The weeding party accompanied the j bride and groom to the laiter'? home i where they were hospitably enlec| tained durin* the evening:. An attractive feature of the occasion was the blight and pretty youthfbl ! faces of the flower girls, Misses Far.j wie Ford and Nannie Lee M?bley, ; who preceeded the bride strewing I flowers in her pathway as she entered fr^non the threshold of another home. |8jftggEfa^he memory of ta^the signiti5hm? hc^fte Md Kof VISIT TO MT. ZIOX. Messrs. Editors: Your correspondent in company with Mr. DuBos* Egleston went up to Mt. Zion on the 12th inst. ] 1 rsti,. i? c jluuiju uri "ucauuiui xui oiiuation,'*' ami if not as the city of David in days of yore, "the joy of the whole earth,'' yet we do think she ought to be the joy and pride of this ancient town and indeed of the county, if not of the State at large. She is certainly well manned and womaned, and so far as we cosld judge complete in her appointments. "We found Principal Witherow and Prof. David Dwight; and the ladies. Miss Phinney, Miss Obear and Miss Catbcart all in their class-rooms, snrroudcd by groups of youngsters, ranging in age from six or seren years up to and perhaps beyond the teens, and the impression -r.iade upon our minds was, that these publib-^vants earnestly und honest Ir trvinir to "teacH^he young ideas how to shoot/' and to^TnCln^ Pwight was in. the midst of a recitation in" Algebra, and although your scribe was never an expert in this department of mathematics, he came away fully convinced, that if young gentlemen and ladies do not become proficient, it will not be the teacher's fault. In Mr. Witherow's r??m we listened to a Latin recitation, in which the pupils gave only the English translation of the text, and while we were not taught that way in our little smattering of this language, we were impressed that it is perhaps th? best. Away back in antebellum days, we were required to read the Latin, translate it into English and then parse it, all in the reciation room. By the way tbis reminds me that now days we don't hear much about parsing in English grammar, it is all Hi?rrv*iiiin<ir r\\v almnt. T.fltlll. 7 and French, do they diagram those too? I have no complaint to make of the old time teachers, they did the best they could Tritli the lights before them, and some pupils made wonderful progress, but as I looked and listened at Prof. W. as he in his peculiarly happy painstaking style brought out the thought in the mind of the author, and laid it so clearly before the minds of his class, 1 thought, possibly with such opportunities as our boys and girls now have, some of us older ones might have become nearer scholars thun we are. We found Miss Nannie Phinnev with a class of little ifolks gathered about her teaching them to read and spell; while some of her more advanced ones were engaged in writing with slate and pencil, 1 took the liberty of looking on two or three slates, and found they were describing the difference between a house and a clnircn. One little fellow's description began about thus: A church has a steeple, but a house has not. Another said the difference was that we sleep and eat in a house, but we go to hear preaching in a church, these are only specimens, and show that the little fellows are being taught to think. It is really surprising how nicely some of the wee ones can write. Miss Emily was engaged in hearing a class in History, and right well did her pupils seem to be posted, there j was also recitation in grammar. I in-1 ferred from the questions and answers I which brought out the different parts of speech. Miss Belle was drilling a class in spelling out words upon the blackboard, and we were pleased and surprised too at the correctness with which the children spelled the words and formed the litters. Tliis is cer tainly an improvement upon the old style. In concluiio* allow me to say, I think that the faculty of 1ft. Zion are wide awake on the subject of education. We were much pleased with what we saw and heard and would gladly haye lingured longer. It seems strange that the patron* of the school visit it so seldom, the teachers and I the pupils would appreciate your preseuce among them oftener, friends. Go and see for yourselves, visitor. Don't F?el W?ll, And vet you are not sick enough to Consult. a uocier, wr juu raram so doing for fear you will alarm yourself and friends?we will tell y?u just what you need. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which will lift you out of that uncertain, uncomfortable, dangerous condition, into a state of good health, confidence and cheerfulness. You've no idea how potent this peculiar medicine is in cases like yours. * LETTER I ROM COLUMBIA. Messrs. Editors: It appears as if the clouds which hare for many years overhung the city ?n the Congaree are about to be lifted and soon the bright sun af prosperity will ihed its blessed light on our community.

The City Council aud Board of Trade gsasped the idea eagerly and began to make preparations for the celebration, then all classes of citizens became enthused with the idea and each individual has determined to len-1 hid best dibi ts towards mak'nu .he centennial a glorious SUCCJuS.

The cccasion i* to be one of general j rejoicing by the people of Columbia, j and they expect their friends from all i parts of the State to c*>tne down and I participate in the general rejoicing and jubilation. There will be no politics in the celebration, for Columbia realizes that "politicians may come and 1 politician? may go, but?the prosperity j and growth of Columbia will go on [ forever." we vr 111 expect me i co pie 9t the State to Jay asule ail politi-1 eul feeling and forget lor a moment | everything but the one fact, that they j and all of us are tjotith Carolinian# I and that Columbia is their capital city and tiiat therelore they and each of; them have aright to feel proud of Columbia. Ever\tiling in connection with the! celebration wa> pro^ies-ing smoothly j whpn it w:is aunoiiiictd that a nionosi* ! tion had Le-.M) made and accepted by the tru?tees of the canal to sell it to a syndicate oi Northern capitalists who offered two hundred and sixty thousand dollars for the caual aud obligated themselves to put at once one million dolla.o in factories on the canal.

TV, E, AIKEN Wiunsboro, S. C. firmed the sale, and within thirty days the titles will be delivered and the purchase money paid. The sale is pronounced on all feides as a good thing for Columbia. It relieves us from taxes for the completion of the canal, and in the course of three years the canal purchasers will themselves have added a million and a half dollars to the tax able property of the city. Aim mere is no telling what it will add to the population of the city by bringing h factory operatives. Xnd besides six railroads already running: into the city, Columbia will soon have another ?rreat trunk line, the South Bound lload, from Savannah to the North. All ?f the*e new enterprises have put new hope in the hearts of the people and the centennial celebration will be on even a greater scale than was at first contemplated.

The projectors are experienced newspaper men, with good business qualifications and they promise to make the State the equal if not the superior of any newspaper published. The politics of the paper will fce Democratic of course. Columbia realizes that F airfield has always been her true friend and faithful ally, and Columbia will expect Fairfield to send her whole population down for our''May day party."

Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells i her experience below: T/% B v van v a. " In one store whcro I went to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood's; ho told me their's would last longer; that I might take it on ten days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change. I told him I knew what Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was gatisfled with it, and did not want any other. ^ Hood's | HUM? "When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable, suffering a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly stand. I looked, and tad for somo time, like a person in consumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, f and my friends frequently speak of it." JIks. Ella A.
