There is a aan in town who does things in his own pecnliar way; he has his shirts made to open on the shoulder, turns his undershirt wrong ?ide out and changes the buttons to suit, wears his socks wrong side out, has his drawers made with the seams outside, has a pocket in the leg: of hi# pants, eats salt on a watermelon, and sugar on a cantalope, and it is reported but we don't assert it, that he was married sitting down in a split bottom chair. And guess who he is? Ax Accident.?Early Sunday morning, as the freight train was pulling out of the yard limits, a negro named John "Williams was knocked off the ladder of a box car by striking against another box car standing on the side track. He was near the top and was thrown to the ground, and when those present reached him he was lying sensible, as the Irishman would say, between the two tracks. He "came too" after a while and was left in town t? be cared for. He was well enough on Sunday evening t? take the passenger train for Columbia. It was i thought he Tas fatally hurt at first, but he "was hit on the head in all probability and survived. ADMITTED TO CT.EMSOX. I R. L. Steele, Clark Langford, R. T. B?lick, G. L. Bray, J. M.

Several days ago, Policemaa Gilbert attempted to arrest Jim Gladden, colored, lor some misconduct on the streets and got close enough to get the lappel of his coat in his hand, but it was an eld garment, and all the policeman *ot that time was a hanpjul of eld cloth. He was more successful on Friday, however. He came on Gladden at Gibwn's shop, and the negro at once put out, Mr. Gilbert following When gone some distance, he got a horse and overtook the fellow in rear of Sheriff Ellison's. Geo. Richmond, colored, appeared before thelutendant and plead guilty for Jim and begged sr.?Latest U. S. Gov't Report Eiy pirns the mercy ?f 'he coert. He argued the stringency of the times as a plea for a reduction along with other reasons. George asked trie Intendant where he thought a darkey could get any money when he and Mr. Elliott had il all locked up in the bank. His efforts were successful and Jim owes Geo. $2.00 tor his legal services, for he got the fine reduced that much. Jim had better take warning. FECK'S BAD BOY AND THE GOAT. We saw "Peck's bad boy" grab a Wiiliam goat by the horns on Monday and expected to hear him call out to know "who started this fight," but he seemed to be up to bis business, for shortly Billy came around the corner blating and running as if making for a friend. H - had the regulation lin can tied to his remote appendage, and being *o u-<tomed lo taking refuge under mules and horses at his Blaster's stable he made straight for a country mule hitched at a post and took a position directly under 'hexiule. The mule did not seem to be willing for this unnatural sociability, and commenced to kick at Billy furiously, whereupon Billy forgot his trouble and straightened up for a fight. But the mule had two modes of warfare, and missing the goat with a kick he grabbed him in the back witn his teeth, which caused him to realiz? at once that this was not the kind of a mule he had boen used lo, and he put out tor another port of safety followed by the dogs and all the 6mall boys in tight. When la*t seen he was makiug for home, wagging the can behind hira. T. F.

The operator thinks something like a nail or bolt head must have caused the cotton to ignite, a> the teeth ofthelintere showed evidence to the effect that somethiug of the kind had been in contact with the saws. The whole place was ablaze, and but for the perfect arrangement for protection against fire, the mill would very likely have been consumed. But the water from the big tank on top of the tower extinguished the flames at once. Besides this water arrangement, they have a Cox & Taylor's steam fire extinguisher, which has saved this property on two former occasions. Uuless set afire, it is not apt that the mill will e?er be in danger of total destruction, owing to the perfect system of water works and steam extinguisher. DR. JOHN W. CAMPBXLL. Dr. Jno. W. Campbell died at his home near Ridgeway, on Saturday, and his remaius were interred at Aimwell Church, near Ridgeway. on Sunday. Dr. Campbell was a native of i Fairfield County where Jie spent his * - 1!'- TT? TU;co Sot-oh I wnoie jut;, xxc uidii i icu xuicc uui Williamson, who with seven children survive his death. For thirty years the deceased was an elder of Aimwell Presbyterian Church of which he was a consistent j member. Dr. Campbell was Worshipful Master of the Masonic Lodge at Ridgeway for three lerms, and was held in high esteem by the members of the craft. He was buried with Masonic honors and the following pass masters acted as pall bearers: P. M. Spence, Jno. W. Seigler, Jas. Q. Davis, S. F. Cooper, Robert Lewis, Dr. Jno. Boyd. Dr. Campbell was stricken with paralysis about one year ago and only partially recovered and it is thought this was the final cause of his death. He was a man of strong character, unswerving in matters of veracity, gentle in nature but firm in his convictions. Such a man is a great loss to the community, and to his family lo whom lie left a rich legacy in the memory of the life he lived. WAS SOME ONE IS TROUBLE. Ou Sunday night, Policeman McMaster heard some one calling him as he thought, in the direction of the court house and proceeded there at once. He could still hear the calling and knew ahcoit that it was Mr. J. W. llanahan, so he knocktd on his office door, but getting n? response, proceeded to look around the yard, but failing again to find the party, and the call being kept up, " Come here quick Mr. McMaster," he very naturally vras somevrhat excited ruid imagined all sorts of things, somebody's leg broke, some one sick. Then all of a udden he hit on the very thing, somebody fallen in the cistern, and the call was? kept up, ;,Do came here." In great excitement, sympathy, and anxiety he flfew to the cistern, pulled up the lid, but the call sounded Jrom another quarter, "please come here," in tones of di?tres?, and the 9earch continued, he asked for Hanaban, no one had seen him lately, but he knew it was his voice and he was in distress. But a circumstance at the Winnsboro Hotel on Monday liight happened which explained the whole thing. Mr. A. F. Ruff, of the firm cf Caldwell & Ruff, was reading a latter in the office when he heard a call distinctly, "come down here quick Mr. Ruff,'7 he read on a few minutes and then another call came, "Mr. Ruff come here I want to buy some goods." At the last remark he sprang like a clay pigeon out *f the trap, the shiny sheckles were before his eyes, he darted down the steps like a madman, wanting to know where the man was who wanted to see him. He was keen for a trade and searched eagerly for ' hiB man. But presently one of the , boys asked him if he had erer heaad of a ventriloquist, then those oaa ooys all laughed. The ventriloquist is an agent for au improved plow and is topping at the hotel. Rheumatism Cured is a Day? 1 "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, radically cures in 1 to 3 days.

' THE DEVIL : And Jo? Vaugkn, to the Contrary Not- j withstanding. } The recent articles copied from the ] Greenville Noes, together with the 1 rr> W 1 j communication 01 iuaj. x. n . itw?- : ward in today's issue, bring to mind this famous expression. Wc have often heard it, as almost every man in Fairfield has, and w?rc told how it originated. We have looked the record of the Clerk's office, and with the cheerful assistant of Clerk Jennings, found the matter from begin ning to end. It appears that L. Joe Vaughn had a grievance against Marshall McGraw. It is not stated what the matter was; but on the 22nd of March, 1845, the indictment charges, "that L. Joe Vaughn did disturb an ! assembly of Christians in the exercise J of worship by loud talking and taking hold of one, Marshall McGraw, the teacher and preacher of said assembly f Christians, at Arrarat Church in Fairfield District." * By this disturbance a law suit was commenced. Joe Vaughn was first charged with assaalt and battery, and the verdict was?"Guilty, but we recommend the defendant to the mercy v,-?~ ? \V \f T*rtnv. U1 T UUi UUUWI . ' > . ? . ? , Foreman. This verdict wa3 published but the sentence of the Court was suspended. 1 He was next tried for assault and j found "notguilty." Jas.Lemmox, Foreman. But at the spring term in 1846, he was tried and convicted of disturbing a religious meeting and sentenced by Judge D.L. Wardlaw to an imprison- 1 ment in jail of 30 days and a finest 1 $110. So it was during the time of this diiturbance that this determined ^ old divine, after the fuss in the church, 1 gave out the following announcement: "The Lord being willing, the weather j favorable, and creeks not up too high, < I will 'dispense the gift' at this house, 1 this day three weeks, the Devil and ' Joe Vaughn to the contrary notwithstand- i ing." This is exactly in keeping with j the spirit manifested by the McGraw ] family. Rev. Marshall McGraw thought nothing of walking fifty or seventy-five miles to accomplish his purpose. High water sometimes kept him back, bnt the devil nor any-1: thing else never did. Our "local1' never : had the privilege of meeting this re- < inarkable man but once. In 1876, ; when the boys from Fairfield were going to Camden in that never-to-be forgotten campaign, he saw, jusl about the break of day, a raa" of large frame, brawny face with determined outline of features, standing near the road side, waving his broad hat and wishfVio Knvo rim? enppd. As the line passed the ranks were frequently broken by some one dropping out to shake hands with this venerable figure, and when it became generally known that this was "Old U*cle Marshall McGrav"" a shout went up that fairly startled the neighborhood. He was over ninety years of age before he was called to rest, and his labors continued as long as his strength lasted. A COBBECTIOX. Messrs. Editors: I wish to coit ?ct a statement made in last week's issue of your paper relative to an "attempted" burial of six inanimate and unregenerate "spirits." I will say that no such occurrence ever took place here, and your informant must have been eating pretzels after hia eyes becam* crossed. The good citizens of this place do not feel that there was any reflection cast upon the good morals ot our iowu, fro? the reason that the "spirits" failed to "specify", consequently, the reflection could not be seen.

Mr. Editor: In your paper of this sveek you give an account of the trial ?f Mr. Jas. A. Gladden befure Trial Justice Jones for selling intoxicating ;ider. The account is mainly correct, md were it not for the injustice done :he prosecutor, Mr. i~Will Barber and lome of the witnesses the matter might have been allowed to pass. It is more than the good of this neighborhood ;an stand, to allow the guilty to pose is the innocent, and try to heap odium ipon the innocent. The prosecutor, Will Barber, whom a great many of your townsmen know, and of whom [ heard one of your prominent citizens remark, "he is the best and nicest joy in town," is not a secret spy. He, ike the gentleman and Christian that ae is, went to Mr. Jas. Gladden and plead with him and remonstrated to nduce him to cease selling the cider, is it was injuring him and the sale ivas creating a nuisance. Mr. Gladden s a kinsman of most of the neighbors, ind they did not wish to see him punshed, but wanted the nuisance abattd md allowed the matter to pass through he farce of a trial, and it was a farce iccording to the statement of some present, hoping that would be sufficient; but it seems that he could not see it in that light, and not content at rejoicing over his acquittal must hasten ;o the papers to cast odium upon the nnocent whe was trying to uphold he law aud maintain the good name )f our community. Mr. Jas. Gladden ivill not deny that he told some one :hat the cider would make drunk, he vill not deny that there was a good leal of rowdyism areuna jus tsune md that the neighbors were annoyed )y it. He will not say that his kinsTien and neighbors did not plead with lim to stop selling the cider, as the ivhole neighborhood was talking igaiust it and was tired of the rowJyism incident to the sale of it. Mr. Will Barber is now backed by the best men of the community. A word to ;he wise is sufficient. W. S. Hall. J. J. Gladden, J. 0. Jacksox.

Most of the farmers are now busily engaged in breaking up their ;orn ground. Now is the time for svery farmer to resolve first to decrease his cotton acreage, sencondly, to put the above mentioned acreage in corn, potatoes, etc. Thirdly, to put his best land in corn and not reserve the poorest land for it lias heretofore, I am sorry to say, been the caso. For we will never be any better o? until we cease buying our supplies and raise them at home. The motto should be, more hog and hominy, enough for home consumy:i^n and some to sell. Then, and m?i until then, will we be any better oft". A large amount of commercial fertilizers will be used in this section this year. The farmers very wisely are taking advantage of the good condition of the roads, keeping them crowded every day hauling it home ere bad weather sets in. A sociable was given at Mr. \V. T.

The report of the fire craeker and the hideous sound of the small boy's tin horn have died away. The Xew Year's turkey has been made to re emble a frame house struck by lightning, and the hungry scavanger has devoured the bones, the scene of wagon loaded with the bedsteads, chairs, pots, last season collards, the piccaninnies piled up on top, with the dog tired under, and the cow tied behind the wagon, has vanished from view. The brush heaps have been sending: their smoke high up to be lost amidst the clouds.
