The following circular issued from the Comptroller General's office Monday will be read with pleasure by great many.

No matter how much destruction is going on around u?, nor how rife the excitement, we always find something afterwards that is a source of laughter. Some of our friends tell us (those that were not near the engine) that it was funnv to notice how others got ! away when they thought she was I going- to "bust." Mr. E. B. RagsI dale tried hard to catch Mr. W. F ! Doty, and Mr. A. Willifurd said he | could uot gain a neck length on Kev. C. E. McDonald, while there was a general stampede for tho choice of the track. No one offered to make room for his neighbor to pass, but everybody left without ceremony or advice on the subject. This was all caascd by striking the heater against a conn:- r wh ch had been placed in tbe street and knocked loose the sieam pipe and letting out hot water aad steam. Fortunately no one was in line of the steam or there might have been a painful scalding for any one in the direction of escape. When they fonnd S. C.

The Fairfield Oil & Fertilizer Company have added a new heater and an extra press to their works. They have also tompleted several large cattle sheds, which are nearly filled with ' "harrydicks," steers and milkers. Every animal in the lot that had horns has been dehorned, consequently the stanchions, ov stocks as they m'ght be called, have been removed, giving liberty and ease to the cattle without j -3? ? ?A? ./vi.Cvt/f AfKav ThorA I U&IigCl' Ui. guini?? cavn vcuvi auv&v j are 325 bead of cattle on hand?some I rery large ones. We saw Mr. Doty weigh one steer and he tipped the beam at 1,485 pounds, and was not fat either. They propose to make him weigh 1,700 pounds before putting him on the market. The company lost about 200 tons of seed from heating, caused by not working fast enough, owing to delay in arrival of some machinery sent off for repair. They have worked up about 900 tons of seed so far, and have ginned about 1,100 bales of cotton. The ginning is falling off now, so they only gin every Saturday. The premises have been scraped and cleaned off and drains opened up to allow the free passage of all water in time of rains, and the yard presents a cleanly aud business-like appearance, to tnose who have never been down it is worth a walk to look around. Rheumatism Cured in a Day.? "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, radically cures in 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the system is remarkable and mysterious.

Gibson has moved into the store formerly used as a crockery department by T. II. Ketehin & Co., which is one dot>r west o! Dr. Hatiaban's office. He was insured with the Phoenix Company, but his lo.'s was much greater than tbe jnsuraucr, and Mr. Gibson is mere anxious to have his friends give him a call than ever. Y.

Elliott, Sr., T. II. Ketchin, Dr. B. J. Qnattlebatun and others with the various companies in which they are insured, and arc expecting a settlement promptly after the necessary details have been attended to. Entirely Recovered. Wc met Mr. Jno. J. Baker 011 Saturday and are glad to learn that he has entirely recovered from his wound caused by the bite of a mad-dog. As soon as Mr. Baker was bitten, he went to Dr. Austin Scott for treatment and Mr. Scott referred him to parties in Charlotte who had in their possession a mad stone. Mr. Baker took the train for Charlotte at once, and had the stone applied to th# wound, and it adhered, showing that there was some poison in the bite. The stone was applied until it would adhere no.longer, which was evidence that all the poison had been extracted. Some people have no faith in a mad stone, but if this stone will adhere to some wounds, caused by bites and trill not adhere to others, it is evident that there is some property in the stone that caused it to act as a suction. We remember as distinctly as if it were today, when the news reached town that two children of Dr. Scott?s had been bitten by a supposed rabid animal that Mr. W.J. Elliott telegraphed to the late J. T. I Butler, of Charlotte, N. C., (who then J owned the stoue) for the loan of the : stone and it arrived in about three hours by express with full instructions I -f r* . i _ _ . ji i - irom mi\ x>uuer concerning me application of the stone, and he wrote that "if there is poison in the wound, the slone will adhere; if it does not adhere you may rest assured that there is no poison in the bite, and the stone : will fall oil* when it is free of poison. Then you must boil it in sweet milk which draws the poison from the stone after which you apply to the wound again and until it will not anv longer adhere. When it fails to longer ad-1 here the poison is all out." These instructions were carried out by I)r. Scott as the stone was carried to his house that night by Mr. Elliott, ami the relief and joy of the parents can better be imagined than described | wnen me st?ne ieu naruiiussjv uu mc j bed beside the suffering little ones, j This particular stone was about the j size of a guinea egg was oval shaped and slightly flat and seemed to have a ' seam running :ihnost through it.

DEATH OF TIIE POET LAUREATE. In tha parlance of the Bachelors' Protective Union, we chronicle the der&ise of the Poet Laureate, Capt. W. T. Crawford. Our " j.an about town" received an announcement a day or so since of the marriage of Capt. Crawford to Miss Trala Jacobs, of Shreveport, La. The eventful date was January 3, 1894. In the sentiment of the B. P. U., marriage of one of its members means the death of the member married. So wipe your eyes and force back your tears if any of you have already commenced to weep, for Mr. Crawford did not die, but only got married. Tho m^rriaorp of Mr. Crawford leaves Auv only one original charter member of the Union?Mr. T. W. Lauderdale, the presideat. There are other members, but not one of them were members at the organization. In our rounds we had noticed a sadness in the tone of voice and a look of loneliness and despair in the countenance of the "Old Solitary", T. W. L.t and had almost been moved to compassion sufficiently to ask the old president what burden laid so heavily on his heart. But when the announcement of the marriage of his only Jiving brother reached us we knew at once why this old knight of celibacy would neither eat nor drink and refused lo be comforted. He stands in his loneliness like an oak of the original forest, and the winds of forty-four winters have whistled through his whiskers, while the second growth is springing up around him on ! all sides, and in a short while will be lost to view aordst the foliage?unless he dies as did his fellow members. Capt. Crawford was our schoolmate, clatsmate and companion in business for a number of years. He is the son of Mrs. T. B. Madden, a nephew of the late Jno. S. (Jathcart, and has a large family connection here and a host of friend#, all oi whom w;sh him a lt?? and happy married life. He was a member of the G. L. I. while here in W'innsboro, and after living in Shreveport joined the Caddo Ilifles, one of the prize companies ot that place, and was soon elected captain. He was in command at a hotly ; contested prize drill where his company came out victorious.

At a meeting of the oxe:utive committee of the Fairfield Agricultural Society on last Saturday, Chairman Samuel Cathcart, Jr., called the committee to order to hear the report of Hugh S.

This was ordered to be deposited in (be savings department of the Peoples Bank"by the committee. H. S. Wylie and VV. D.

Scott, and there participated in an old fashioned musical entertainment and sociable. Without was dark and bleak, within was merriment, music, (vocal and instrumental), flowers, and a bevy of lovely, smiling and blooming young ladies. Words there cannot express our admiration sufficiently, so we will go on to discuss other subjects. Refreshments were served by mine hostess, and in conclusion vocal" music, led by Miss Viola Harrison, instrumental by Mrs. Scott. In all it vras a most enjoyable occasion and the "wee sma" hours arrived too soon. Mr. Leslie Mustin and his sister Miss Kate, both of Augusta, Ga., after visiting relatives here, have left for their home. Miss Manuie Cunningham, of Liberty Hill, S. C., and Misses Florence and Annie Scabrook, of Columbia, arc spending a while with relatives here.
