A Si'ciGKSTiox.?As our male population
seems to have lost all of their
patriotism and are devoting their time,
energies and money towards accumulating
more of the almighty dollars,
won't our ladies who never '-'weary in
well doing," and who are always successful
in what tlwj undertake, take
the matter of erecting a Fairfield arch
at the coming Columbia Centennial in
hand. We know if they do the arch
will go up, and will reflect credit on
the county. If they don't we are
afraid there will be no arch.
The New Firemen's IIall.?The
new building being erected on Yanderho?t
street for the use of the colored
fire companies, i? nearly finished and
presents quite a handsome appearance.
It is quite commodious, having plenty
of room on the ground floor for the
hand engine, and hook and ladder
trucK, and a tuive room up-siaws ivr u ;
meeting i?otn for the different companies.
We are glau to ?ee this building
ere';!ad us it fills a long-felt want,
as these c nnpanie-', by their work in
the pa-t, have shown that they deserve !
attention from the council.

appointed by the Synod of the Asso!
ciate Reformed Presbyterian Church
I to consider the matier of either rebuilding
or remodeling Erskine College
! at Dne West, of which the Rev. Jsio.
T. Chalmers is chairman, held a meeting
la?t week in Due West, where they
had a consultation with Architect
Denson, cf Washington, D. C , and j
decided to enlarge the recitation
rooni^, add a two-story lecture roam
to the old three-story college hail, and
upon it erect a handsome observatory,
atnl make some other changes not yet
decided upon.
Srsi'ectkd Mlkdek.?On Saturday
Mr. W. Richardson, constable for
Trial Justice Jno. I). Blair, brought
to town and turned over to the custody
of the Sheriff Emeline Green,
who is charged wiih having' caused the
death of her husband, Jim Green, by
poisoning him, by giving' him a close
of "Hough on Hats". It appears that
Jim died and was buried on February
2Gth last and nothing said at that time
about any foul play, but on the 10ih
inst., owing to some rumors and
charges of foid play, the Trial Justice
ordered the body exhumed and a post
mortem held. The Coroner's jury had
j to base their verdict on the eridcnc.as
lo the symptoms describing' his
death (as there was no chemical ani
alysis of the stomach) and the cxami!
nation, which shows very many syrupj
toini of a ca-e of poivMiing. The
I stomach was brought to Winu.-boro to
be sent to the j?t-?te (-heniist for ani

reaching the scene it was found to be

taken possession of the building
when the firemen arrived, and the

THE IXDUSTItlAL SCHOOL.
liausons Why the School Should he I.ocated
in Wiansboro.
Messrs. Editors: During the past decade
there has boon, probably, no
subject or question involving :he interest
and advancement of the town
more than that of the location of the
J Industrial School for Females"', as
| proposed by a recent Act ?f the Legislature,
to be built and located on ccri
'
| tain terms and ronditn>iis, approved by
' a committee of three persons?two
: being female?.
It is unnecessary to fay anything in
regard to the curriculum to be adopted,
' * Anni.ftMAn in Cllcli
| or |in (.'(jtirtiiuii
j That, no doubt, will bo widely prcj
pared. The main question for consid|
eration by tho community i* to make
| the effort to secure the building site
I or location tor such a:i institution.
:
Two point?., seems to me, worthy of
j consideration only?first, the r^nfral
: location of such school, making it
I easily cud spew.liUj accessible. Ootside
| of Columbia, I know of no town more
I favorably situated in tliis respect than
; Winnsboro, as every one can sec for
I himself. Secondly, the healthfuiness
j or taniurv conditions of the place.
I iii this respect, i uo not ueueve
; there is a spot in the State more healthy;
: there are no local causes for disease:
j the town is upon an elevated ridge, in
| thr best latitude for pure water; the
; temperature is such as not uucomfortj
able either summer or winter. It is
unnecessary to state further any other
! advantages to recommend the town. !
! The practical subject of most impor- i
j tanc^ for consideration is this:
j What are the inducements to offer to j
I satisfy the committee and secure I heir i
! acceptance of our proposal?
J, therefore, briefly suggest thai- the
Council call a meeting of the voters j
and get an expression of opinion in j
regard to the propriety of donating the i
park, and al?o a two or three-acre lot j
adjoining for a proximal building,
and then raising an additional ai&ount j
| ol hy an issuance 01 ooimm u> ;
i run twenty five or thirty years.
| This appears possible ami probable
that the committee, after a visit here,
i may accept the propsition made them,
j If so, the future will justify the proj
posal. It' not, then nothing lost, j
nothing gained. a.

In looking over your valuable
columns I don't sec or hear anything
from Greenbrier. This won't do
Greenbrier. You clectcd Tillman;
you must wake up and be prepared to
do the same thing- two years hence. 1
I noticed some time ago an article '
I supposed to have been written by
Mr. Curlce. now it is some one else's '
turn, so to speak, for lie really hasn't 1
time to aid your paper and its readers !
with his valuable information, as he I
is fanning very extensively this year. '
Having employed one of our young
men to attend to his mercantile business
he is predetermined to sec whether j
! 01* not fanning pars. Ilis time is j
j pretty well occupied in keeping- his \
j hired hands :*t work from daylight
j until dark, which you will very readily
j soe renders a <juietu> to all unnecessary ;
! communications.
The farmers are about ready tocom'
mence planting cotton, while s^me
have commenced?just those who fear j
"General Greenv will take possession I
later on. There is a great deal more
corn planted this year than there was
last. May the time soon come when
the poor farmer will see the error lie
has made by buying everything he j
i eats or wears and plant more corn, oats, j
| wheat and raise his own bacon and J
live ut home. Ironically speaking,
{lie men who guide the plow obtain an
honest support.
: There is a great ileal of sickness in
j this section. So much bad and change|
able weather is probably the cause. |
Miss Leila Ji. Browne's School
| comes to a close in about three weeks. |
I There is some talk of its continuance j
| through the months of May and June,
I still no definite conclusion has been
reached in that direction. She has
given general satisfaction, officially
and socially.
As there is no news of importance I
will close with the promise of doing
j better next time.

Some of our most enthusiastic eh:-1 ^
zens, especially those who manifest so \
much interest in the < -pe Fear and i
Cincinnati road, seem to he growingJ ,
somewhat dispondent for tear the! r
road will not be built. A great many 1
have been conjecturing as to what ,
route it will take if built. Let the <
company survey the different routes [
and then the hand writing will be on
the wall, to use a scriptural phrase in '
a practical way.
A great many want the road to run
right by their doors: some want it to
run just in sight of their house; and J
some do not want it to run through ; p
their plantations but don't care where !
it runs just so they will build a station !
within three or four miles of where ! ~
they live. If tliere v?*us 10 oc un eiec .
lion held to decide and locate the line j r
of road. J fear it would he a complete i
failure, for we could not get enough | ]j
to agree on one line to make a qourum i t
if they were working in an organized !
capacity. I think your many renders j
in this section of the county would be
very glad to hear something .favorable "
concerning the road. They hare complied
with the companies* proposition. "
and thereby showed a willingness to .
do anything within their power to | i
develope the agricultural, mechani- ; :
cal. and financial interest* of the I
county. The railroad question is ab- t
sorbing a large share of public atten- <
tion, and justly so, for we are badly in >
need of railroad facilities.
It would be a marvel to see a well j
equipped train of cars run over a line \
of railroad through this section. Some ]
would just stop their plow and hold
their horse by the bridle for fear of a ?
runaway: others would, perhaps. oe n
overcome with delight ami let luo.se j
plow stock, line and all. But not with- *
standing ail this, our people realize the i
