How long did your multitudinous

his good resolutions arc too much -ike

This latest scheme of the Governor's
to appoint constables and pay them
from the profits ordinarily going to a
town or city in which there i> a dispensary
is nothing surprising. But
it will be surprising if this makes the
State's liquor business any more successful.
We may look for a repetition of the
agony of the silver debate if we are

quickly the Wilsou bill will be passed.
The Democratic party is badly represented
in Congress from some districts.
At present it looks like a child
in possession of a long coveted but
not much understood toy?the reins of
government.
It strikes one as peculiar?or does
it??that those who uphold this present
dispensary law are the worst supporters
of the dispensaries. Much
better customers are they of North
Carolina firms, and much more North
Carolina corn liquor do they consume
than dispensary "chemically pure."

your men "high in authority",

?-?The Democratic partv is no*r iu a
very critical condition, bit it is some
i consolation to know that it has it iu
its own power id make the party or
doom it. It has full control of all the
machinery of legislation and the
executive, and nothing but downright
political cowardice can keep it from
f carrying out its promises to the people.
It has been the advocate of tariff relonn,
the committee on ways and
means has presented for the consideration
of the House a bill in the line of
the party's platform. Bat one course
is left to Democrats in Congress.
They must vote for the bill without
fear. If they refuse to support the
Wilson bill, then the country will be
justified in refusing t? trust the party
any longer.

Citizens of Fairfield:
In addressing you these communications
my object is_not to censure the
Legislature 111 a captious spim?mis
kind of writing never does any good?
but I must speak plainly in order that
you, the people, may realize to what
length they have dared to go, relying
upon your blind support in the future
a3 in the past, and in this way I hope
to correct the great ills and dangers of
government with which we are now
threatened. If, for instance, I can
succeed in making you see, as I plainly
see. that Legislators are ruled by one
man as in the day of Scott and Moses
and are actuated by mean and sordid
motive? of revenge, and following in
the footsteps of the radicals from '6S
to '76, incapable of rising to the high
and dignified position of patriots aud
statesmen, then will I know that the
end is at hand, for I saw you once,
under similar circumstances, rise in
the majesty of your might and hurl
from position the robber band which
was plundering us of oiu* liberties and
property, and I know you will do it
again, for I think I know the material
of which you are composed. So bear
with a little plain talk as yoa did in '76
especially, as subsequent event proved
the correctness of my position then,
aud time may show "their correctness
I hare shown you the action of the
Legislature in the matter of election
of Judges, how the role enacted by
Senator Geo. Barbsr and his radical
conferes had been scrupulously reenacted
by Senators and members of
the present day. I pointed out in my
last article the deep and damning iniquity
which had been perpetrated
when our largest and most important
j seaport was by regularly enacted
I Statute "gerrymandered'' into a district
where 16,000 negro majority insaved
the election of a rice field negro
to take charge of her multitudinous
and intricate interests in Congress.
Regularly enacted, did I say? Xo, I
must correct this; it was irregularly
done. You will remember that in the
first attempt to pass this bill the House
appalled at the enormity of the outrage
which was being attempted kicked
out of traces and voted it down.
But the joyous news had barely been
flashed over the country when "the
i master down stairs", not to be robbed
! of his re venge, called back his scala
wa<j crew and issuea xresn oraers,
which like cringing curs they carefully
carried oul. Irregularly then, but by
I statute all the same, white men are
placed under negro rule, and a democratic
congressman supplanted by a
negro radical. If I mistake not", I
heard something during tbe list campaign
about certain parties who bad
vott d for Ensor, and great capital was
made of the fact, that private parties
in their individual capacity had voted
for this party, who whatever may be
paid of him, bears the reputation of an
honest man, and is known to be capable
of filling the position. Oh, you
canting hvpocrits, get down on the
knees of your sinful bodies and ask
the good Lord to make rou honest,
consistent, Christian men.
But I ?at out to speak of the printing
fraud, the bill which elected a
State printer and swindled us, the taxpayers,
out of an amount variously
estimated at' from $5,000 to $10,000
annually. To understand this trans
ai/Livii jrvu. iuuot AxxcvrtT niwv
been advertised for, to do the State
printing, and two parties had submitted
estimates for the work. All
parties being able to carry out their
contracts as was the case in this instance,
you will agree'with me, I
know, in saying that the cheaper bid
should havesecured the contract, but
unfortuuatelv this one was not a TillluuuiM
auu cue jod is given to the
Register, athe weak but willing organ."
We are most of us farmers, let me
give you an illustration.
Farmer A sends his serrawfand paid
agent to Winnsboro to make a contract
for his supplies for the year '94; he
ernes to merchant B who offers corn at
75 cents per bushel; merchant U says
I cannot furnish it for less than $1.25.
I am "in debt and hearily mortgaged,
and for this reason cannot bur my
goods on as good terms" as merchant
B (note speech of Mr. Lowrance in
the House, and statement of the Bryant
printing company where they offer
to printat 75 cents per page matter
which was awarded to the Register at
$1.25 per page.) Notwithstanding
these statements your agent A contracts
with merchant C, not only for
94, but for 795 also, and comes* back
to you saying, I did pay a little more
than B asked, but then he is a good
Tillmanite.
I will tell you in my next what I
think of such acts. " .

Woodwakd, 3. C., January 6.?A
difficulty ever what is considered a
most trivial matter occurred near here
yesterday between two negroes, Sol
McElhenny and Sam Pratt, is which
the latter was seriously if not fatally
shot. The weapon used was a 3S-calibre
pistol. The ball entered near the
centre of the abdomen and passed j
straight tnrotign to me Dacsoone, aim
is supposed to have ranged downward
and lodged in the region of the left
hip, as he suffers the greatest pain in
that part of his person aad has almost
entirely lost the use of his left leg.
From the account given by those who
were present wheu tha difficulty ocif

was entirely unprovoked, and that |
it was a bold and premeditated attempt
at murder to gratify a personal grudge.
As soon as the shot was fixed Sol left,
holding his pistol out and defying any
attempt to arrest him, and he has thus
far evaded arrest. Pratt is still living,
but from the nature of the wound, the
chances &re against his recovery. Sol
is the fellow who was once arraigned
before a Trial Justice's court on the
charge of having maliciously shot a
dog. In the course of the examination
of the defendant the justice asked him
if he did not shot the dog in selfdefence.
lie replied "Xo, sir, boss, I
shot him jest ?f?re he jumped defence."

REFLECTIONS OX THE OLE AND
NEW YEAR.
Mr. Editor: A new year's greeliug
to The News and Herald and its
corps of correspondents and numerous
readers
Mr Filter and fVieuds. as we have
been permitted to pass through
another star and are now entering
upon ihe beginning of a new year, it
might not be amiss for us to take a
retrospective view of the past in our
quiet moineni6 and see the many
errors we have committed aud try
and improve in the future. Let up,
in the beginning of this new year, try
and commence our farming opeiatious
with an eye to the strictest economy
in our expenditures, and diver*ifr our
crops so that we can make mor? for
home consumption aud stop some of
the drains from our pocket next till.
By so doing we will become more
independent as producers and recover
some of our lost mauhood, which I
aui sorry to bee so visibly depicted
upon the faces of everybody. There
iV-of hiim/ipnnj toolintr ftmnnor
IO liUV luul uumwivua .w..m0
people that should be experienced, on
accouut of the depressing conditions
that we have passed through and are
still experiencing. Poverty is a hard
lask master and cannot be relieved by
the sympathy of others, though it may
b? ever so sincere. There is one
thing very evident that we aro the
controllers of our own destiny in a
very large measure, aud while we are
tne'wards of a benign government we
cannot expect any great financial aid
from tbem directly. I do not attribute
our financial depression to government
management as some do. They can
only issue money under certain restrictions,
but cannot order that distribution
that will make it equal to all.
W* unfortunately hare not, the banking
facilities in our country by which
we can get an equal. share ei the
money. Our banks as a rule aie
operating upon a small paid ap capital
compared to the large banks of the
North. We need tnore money in j
circulation; 'tis time to meet our
wauts, and tbe only available chance I
is lor Congress to repeal tbe 10 per,
cent tax on State banki; and if they
do this I firmly believe that a brighter
day will dawn upon us. The more
banks the more money; the more
money there is the easier it will be to
obtain. It would have been well for
all of the State Legislature* to memorialize
Congress to pass the bill.
But it is not pas?iug strange that the
only organizations the farmers have?
the' Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union-are opposed to tbe measure
which alone can bring relief to them?
That would not be working in the
interest of political mushrooms, who
propose to lead them into a haven of
rest and sweet repose.
There will never come any relief
while the people in their blind folly
arc tolloraing any tuch. The reliet
will come to those who are elected by
their votes. me nine nas cume wucu
the people must arise iu the power of
their intelligence and look things
squarely in the face and direct their
votes a* independent citizens and not
be controlled by any party last.
We will nezt notice some of the
promised reforms of our State, the
most prominent of which are the redistricting
bill and dispensary bill.
Well, poor Charleston is to be punished
for her want of man worship and her
disloyalty to the administration.
White people and democrats think of
it. A city, the principal port iu our
State, with a population of over fifty
thousand, with all of her wealth and
intelligence that they are possessed of,
being thrown into the black district t*
be represented by a republican (and it
may be a negro at that,) j?st because
she had a large number of political
enemies in the Legislature, who should
have done all in their power to resent
such blind partizan legislation. Were
they carrying out their obligation j
taken before the bar in tbs.t body?
Is it for the best interest of the State?
If so I cannot see it in that light, j
Well, my prohibition frieudi, what

you who look upon liquer as being
very damaging and degrading to those
who drick it? a thing that has filled
its thousand, of druuksrds graves and
has brought on mUery to many once
happy homes, to have your curse
legalize* and moralized. So you cau
rest easier now when whiskey is considered
a moral thing by the State to
be consumed on account of its great
moralizing effeces upon those who
drink it. It seems that somebody has
been led into a trap and can't get out.
You must tamely submit, as you have
yielded the point and encouraged the
drinking of the pure and cheap stuff,
for ot 6uch, revenae is derired by the
State. That is not the worst feature
f the bill, for all liquor seized and
confiscated by the StAte is to be turned
over to the Slate Commissioner as
though purchased by him, except such |
as may prove" to be impure upon
analysis shall be shipped out of the
State bv tbe commissioner and be
ecld in some other state, to be drank
by the unsuspecting. Foisoned whisker
for other people to drink. Think
of "it! A State selling- poisoned or impure
whiskey. It would not have
looked so bad if they had ordered it to
be destroyed.
"Well, they passed the salary redac'ion
bill, but not to take effect
during their term of office. It may !
be, some do not expcct to get In again (
and do not care how others are pinched.
I am not iu favor of reducing salaries
go low that none but the rich (that old
Aristocracy that you have been told
60 much about) can afford to take
them. Everything seems to operate
agaiust the poor.
There are other things that might
* -it? i r r .L-* T
be mentioned dui i iear mat i am iutruding
upon your space and the
valuable time of your many readers.
These thoughts are intended not in
any partizau light, but in all candor,
hoping that upon reflection that good
may come from tbem, and we may yet
see lew taxes and prosperity and hare
all we wish to make us happy and
contented.

THE OLD GRIST MILL.
1ST MRS. C. LADD.
Mr. Editor: The Old Grist Mill is
no fiction. That, and the old dilapi
dated school-house stood about a mile
and a half from Richmond. They
both ?aw their best days abeut the
close of the year 1799. From that time
it began to lose its custom. It stood
too near the city where fine mills had
been erected, but a moie picturesque
or Iorelr spot you could hardly
imagine. In the mills old garden
many lilac and snowball bushes were
still standing-. The broken roof of;
the old cottage was covered in summer
with hop vines. He had planted the
running lay agaiest a few of the trees,
that had Ion? a?ro reached their tops.
Many of the other trees were fesUoned
by the wild grape. The beautiful ivy
bush and sweet briar rose were growing
there in their greatest luxuriance,
while tke smaller bushes were covered
i with a flower that well deserves i:s
I name?the Morning glory. More than
| 6eventv years have passed away, with
! its smiles and tears, joys and griefs,
sunshine and shadows, since I stood
with one of iny companions and said
good-bye to
THE OLD GRIST MILL.
I am standing again bv the Old Grist
Mill,
The dam is broken, the wheel is still,
The sun streams in, far o'er the floor,
Through the shattered windows and
broken door.
The miller's house, just over the way,
Has fallen in?all in decay;
'TV.o nmnrr 4c With t.l'&sh and
XUV ig VUUUVM *
leaves,
The mill-road blocked by fallen trees.
Two noble willows stood by the race,
Though much decayed, are still in
place;
The weeping branches, now touch the
ground,
SeemiDff to mourn for the loss
around.
No birds are 6een on bush or spray,
The mock-bird's song at break of
da7> . i
That echoed around from hill to hill,
Is heard no more at the Old Grist
Mill.
No longer loads stood at the doorr
No bags of corn lay ?n the floor,
Where busy life, so long had been,
No voices heard, no foot-prints seen.
Onr school-house stood not far away,
The mill-road was our scene of play,
No longer comes the glad wild shout
To the mill boys, "oar school is out."
If the grist was slack on Saturday,
The miller joined us in one play,
Or sat ind?ors, wild tales to.tell,
Tale?, wc ?chool-bovs loved so well.
Tsars have come, and years hare gone,
Since 1 stood here on a bright morn, I
With a sad heart, and smothered sigh
I've come to bid old friends good-bye.
Mr mother's kiss was oh my biw,
Her low, sweet voice?I hear it
now?
Why for love, my boy, why sever
Tbe ties of home?perhaps forever?
Mv stately home I still can see,
Or what is home or lands to me?
I came not back to claim the place,
I am the last of all my race.
My mother's voice still I hear,
Her blessing ever, ever dear,
Then, with the kiss left on my brow,
Are all the wealth I covet now.
The winds were hushed?n?t a single
sound?
Silence, but beauty reigned around; I
Ty as snmo cncliatitCa (iCIl,
Wrought by the faries' mystic spell.
One more look at the Old Grist Mill,
At th? broken dam, and wheel so
still;
One more look at the sunlit floor;
Before I turn to leare the door,
tear-drop fell upon the broken sill,
Memory's gift to the Old Grist Mill.

Mrs. C. Ladd is feeble, but bearing
her affliction with patience and fortitude.
That is a rebuke to those

Thursday night an entertainment
I was given' by the members ot the
Presbyterian Church here, which was
certainly a success?the church realizing
some forty odd dollars.
Quite an amusing and interesting
masquerade party was had on \V*dnesday
night at the school house by the
pupils?enjoyed greatly not only by
tbe pupils, but the eld people." We
were particularly struck with the
dignified demeanor of Maj. Tom
Thumb (Master Carl H.) and his
partner (Miss Cra M. C.) who attracted
the attention and admiration
of all present. After spending some
time, all repaired to their respective
homes, the young, we have no doubt,
to dream of the much enjoyment thsy
had had.
VJUr tow 11 uus 0ii0iuiin.u u.
recently, in the death of our much
esteemed and beloved lellew-citizeu
Dr. R. H. Edmunds. He had been a
sufferer for several months, and
although his loss to our town is great
yet his death was not unexpected.
Peace to his a^hes.
Saturday, in company with our
fiiend Rev. H. K. Ezell, the writer
attended the union meeting of the
Fairfield Association, held with the
Longtown Charch. The inclemency
of the weather prevented as large an
attendance as there would have been,
but the few that were there, made it
a point to discuss freely and fully the
questions laid down on the program.
Wli'e there, we enjoyed the hospitality
of our friends Mr. and Mrs.
D. G. Robertson, the latch of whose
door will always be foiind o? the outside
for their friends. x. r. z.
DOTS FROM JENKINS VILL.E.
Jenkin'SVILLK, C., Jan. 3.?"King
oill tlic uld ring in the new," but there
was no "ringing of bells across the
snow" with us this Christmas and
new year, 'a i:?ter was in her most
gracious mood, and granted us good
weather, if there were many other ,
good things lacking. Kriss Kringle !
in consequence did not come as usual
with his whispers laden with icicles,
bat made bis rounds nevertheless, and
brought joy and gladness to the hearts
of the faithful trusting children. How
beautiful is their faith in, at:d with
what confidence do they look forward
to, the coming of ihis mysterious dispenser
of gifts. ,
Perhaps the dispensary is doing (
good, as 1 road of very few drunken
rows during the season of merry
making just past. We did not hear
even a "Dutch gun" from across the
| river here?remarkably quiet.
I The pupils of Shilob Academy have ,
a circulating library, and as men*
treasury was empty they decided to
see if a "Mother Goose" party would
not cause a jingle therein. There was
an admission fee, and then an additional
charge was made to search
for th; dyed pindar (the finder to have
a prize,) then another dime must be (
paid for the liberty of drawing a plum j
from the pie said to contain so many '
valuable articles. Quite a nice sum '
was realized. <
The ladies of the Missionary Society
at Little Iiiver church gave a "dime
sociable" at the residence ot Mr. R. T.
Yarborough on the evening of the
29th December, but owing to rain the
attendance was small.
"Pity 'lis, 'tis true" that Fairfield
has no factory located within her
borders and now so many of her population
are seeking employment elsewhere
in Other counties more enterprising.
Some of our neighbors have 1
gone to Pacolet mills, Spartanburg 1
County, and there are others who <
purpose doing so. Our men of capi- \
tal should see to this, and ere Jong
let the hum of ^pindies be heard in
our midst, and our people find work
at home.
Rev. J. II. Yarborough and family,
now of Blackstock, S. (J., and Mrs.
D. E. McDoweli, of Winnsboro, spent
Christmas at the home of their mother
near this place.
Mr. D. L. Glenn a>.J family have ]
recently moved mar Columbia, S. C.,
in 0'<iet to have better ideational i
| j.dvatitages.
Dej-uite the strinircncy of the times, |
there :?rc signs of progress in Jenkins-1
rille, us a "new store and barn are ;
there being ercctid.
Wc sincerely hope that when our J
next new year's report is made, the i
cloud will have lifted from our busi-!
ness interests. v.
