In passing through the store of D. Lauderdale, we were almost ready to exchange courtesies with our friend E. B.

You can almost hear Ragsdale clear his throat. Upon inquiring vre found that if you trade $10 with D. Lauderdale you get a picture free, having to pay for the frame at from $3.50 to $6 or $7. So you really get a very fine picture by paying the above price for frame. We took one of these cards at once, as we were very favorably impressed witn toe line -wort. Sir. Mailer Again. Mr. Chas.

Carpenter, while pass- , ing a mule in his stable, at Chester, received a kick on the cheek and forehead from the effect of which he died on Thursday evening. The cheek bone was broken and it was thought at one time that the skull was fractured jast above the eye, as the calk of the shoe seemed t? 6trike there, but it was afterwards found out to be a mistake. Mr. Carpenter lay iu an unconscious condition and lingered until Thursday. Mr. Carpenter was of the firm of Carpenter & Brice. lie was a first j cousin to Mr. It. C. Gooding and Mrs. W. G. Jordan, of our town. His parents lire in Kentucky and bis remains were sent there for interment. Mr. Carpenter was an unmarried man about thirty-seven years old. He was in full visor of manhood, and his sudden taking off is one of the saddest deaths we hare heard of lately. We truly feel for his parents and friends in their sore bereavement.

Th? case of John Nick et. al was the first to be tried on Tuesday. John Nick plead guilty and testified that no one but himself had any criminal connection with the matt?r. Jiin Anderson and Steve Stevenson were represented by J. E. McDonald. They were indictcd for breaking- into Mr. .T M. Mills' smokft-house. The Solici tor consented to a verdict of not guilty as to Steve Stevenson, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty as to Jim Anderson The Judge sentenced John Nick to three years in the penitentiary. lie said he would hare made it lire years, but for his confession.

The jury remained out about two hours and returned a verdict of not guilty The third case tried was against Eph. Williams and Frank Boulware for housebreaking and larceny. Eph. Willliams plead guilty but implicated Boulware in every detail, and testified that he went out after robbing the tore and left Boulware inside, and looking back saw a fire in the store. Boulware soen came out and remarked to him that he had set it on fire. So they are chargeable with arsen also, bat it was left out of the indictment. They will likely be tried for arson at the next time. This is the case where the fire was discovered by the report of fire crackers exploding in the store ot R. T. Yarboro. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty as to Frank Boulware. Weclnesd&Y. The next case tried on Wedneiday was the State against Steve Terry for loivon* n-f efrxVlr.

The second case wa* that of Tilman Ojflessbr, for the murder of'T" Harrison. This occurred near R?ck Creek Church tt a frolick. The Jury was out about ten minutes and returned a verdict of net guilty. Ilagrfdale & liagsdals defended Oglesbv. Friday. Th?J case of Sol McEihanny for murder was tried, and the defendant was acquited. Messrs. J. W. Hanahan and W. D. Douglais repiesented him. Saturday. On Saturday the Court proceeded with the case of Alf (Jason for utealing acow. The testimony wae voluminous. The witnesses came from every place around Winnsboro, all along the road from here to Columbia, and in Columbia. The case ha? been in Court *-*nrc Trial Justice Cath cart, who owne? the cow, fought the case with unrelenting purpose, and Aif defended as vigorously as he wai prosecuted. But postponements and mistrials hare been the only progress up to this term. The testimony was that a certain spot right at Cason's house showed tbat a cow had been tied there for several hours on the night this cow was missed. It bad raioed in the first part of the night, and all old tracks were wiped out. A fresh cow track starling Cason's bouse wa< seen, and raule and horse tracks were seen coming from hie b&rn-yard. The tracks of the three animals were tracked past Simpson's Turnout. The track of a horse was al#o seen returning to Cason'a barn-yard. Witnesses recognized (Jason's "old black mare" as the horse. The cow was solil to a butcher in Celctrabia; the hide was identified. Cason repsrted that bit stock were all in the pasture, but when the matter was pressed he found ou' (?) j tbat his blue mule was gone, aud Ton Alexander was goue, but he swore he j had just seen them both, as he claimed, a few minutes befor?. When it w*? suggested to him to wire to Columbia he refused, but took after the track# and went on to Columbia. He testified that he found his mule loose in the big road, the cow killed, aud the boy gone. The boy testified that Alf made him take the cow toColambia againet his will, and that Alf met him, took the money, and bsgged him to run away until he could pay tor (he cow. He denied any criminal connection with the matter at all. The boy, Tom Alexander, testified tbat John Ca?ou, Alt's son, went beyond Simpsou's Turnout to show him the road; the track of a horse was seen return in^in the direction of Alf's home by even o'clock in the morning; the "old black mare" showed signs of having been ridden recently, the saddle marks an.I mud were there. The boy testified tbat he knew nothing was wrong about the cow transaction, but it was proven, reliably, that he said it belonged to his uncle Bear Blackstock. After a great deal of testimony pro ! and con the case went to the jury, j They remained out about two hours and returned a verdict ot guilty. The main points against Cason were the j tra:ks starting from hie house and j froc no other poiut. the fact he stated i positively thai he had just turned all of lis stock out a few minutes before, and and thai Tom Alexander had just gone dou-n the hill a lew minutes ago. Tfce boy evidently knew there was tonething wrong, and (Jason's idea was to reach the boy first, make him ran away aud lav the whol? charge to the bay. The jury recommended him to merer iu #rder to prevent a mistrial, and he was sentenced to three years iu the penitentiary. The case against Ben Johnson for firing the wood? of Mr. J. K. Cook was sent back to the trial justice to be heard again. This wound up the criminal business for this term. THE CHESTER MILL CASE. Plaintiff's Ask for Permanent Receiver? I Opposed by Mill Owner*. The motion to appoint a perman2iit receiver for the Chester Mapnfactur- : ing Company was heard before Judge i Watt's on Monday. The plaintiffs in < the case ask for a permanent receiver n the ground that the company is < insolvent, and allege fraud. They < claim that representation was made by : S. M. Jones, the president, of a large I sale of goods in New York amounting I to twestv carloads, and states that 110 j such shipment of goods was made, and ; that said Jones misrepresented the j 1 financial condition of the company, 1 and claim further that the Chester ] Manufacturing Company is working 1, in the interest of Woodward, Bald- 1 win & Co., of New York, a secured 1 creditor, and airainst the interest of ] aud to the detriment of other creditors. < Woodward, Baldwin & Co. hold a i $50,000 mortgage on (he plant, besides j having other indebtedness, amounting j to about $70,000. j The Chester Manufacturing Com- 1 panv and "Woodward, Baldwin & Co. i are reristing the motion. They deny ] that the company is insolvent and j deny any fraud. The real contention g in the ease, is orer a lot of goods f worth $100,000 between Woedward, ? Baldwin k Co. and other creditors t who are unsecured. t The unsecured creditors ask for a permanent receiver along with the . Noles' Locm Works, and the Chester Manufacturing Company, with Woodward, Baldwin k Co., are resisting ' the motien. The two latter are rep- c reiented by G. W. Gag#, Paul Hemphill, A. G. Brice and J.

Mr. Editor: After packing mv valise tonight for auother county, I have concluded to fulfill my promise, that J is, to give the News and Herald a \ line or two before I leave. My two J days visit in old "VTinnsboro have been happily speut, first one place then . another, awhile in the Court House, awhile in the dispensary, jrrid-awlilie I with dear old friends on the streets. It made me feel happy to meet my old war friend Gen. Jno. Bratton. I am glad to see him looking so cheerful. I hope The Xews and Herald will continue to prosper. I often think of my boyhood days, when my father use to send me to the office, the first paper he would open would be Tmc News ' and IIf.iuld I have been a sub- J scriber to it for twenty years, and , often wonder how people do without taking their county paper. I often wonder at our people when I sec how i little the printer, phvsician and preach- J er is appreciate in our land and ' country. Tic siiree commence with j a big P, but surrv to say when it comes settling day, it ends with little p?ay. j I cannot see how men can raise their j boys and girls to know much about their own county without taking their county paper. I can't see how a man cau afford to raiie his boy to be a physician when physicians are allowed to go begging- for their pay, last though not least, I cannot see how a man can afford to raise hie boy to be a preacher, when 10 many men never go to hear one preach, and so many more, never 5 pay for what they do hear preached. c_ Thousands of words could be said, e thousands of lines could be written in j hohalfnf those three bis1 P's. but I t simply throw out a line or two, and | hint for good ef the younger, the ris- . ing g?neration, and hope that some ' older and wiser heads than mine may J take this matter up for the good of all. t Times are hard and getting harder, 3 but I pity the man that can't pay his printer, his physician, and his preacher.
