heard the roar of the waves. The
water foamed and dashed and the
wave3 could he seen rolling in. The
last picture exhibited was an umbrella
dance, in which the umbrella and the
dresses of the two little dancers
. . changed wiih every movement of the
figures. This was one of the very
prettiest, the colors were so 7ivid and
beautiful.
-The s'ory of the lour young men
from Ridgeway, which appeared in

the fou/ young men having determined
to return home, in the same way that
they had left, slipped on a platform of
the car, and got as far as Rockton
without beinsr discovered. At Rock
ton the suspicions of the conductor
being aroused, he accosted one ol the
four. "What are you doing here,
sTr?" he caid. ''Nothing, sir," answered
the young man. "Well, you
must get off here." aI will when
the train stops," was the auswer; but
as the train did not stop, they staid on,

ANOTHER ATTEMPT
To Burglarize the Store of the Ketchin
Mercantile Company
On Monday night a second attempt
to burglarize the store of the Ketchin
Mercantile Company was made, but
the burglars were unsuccessful in tbeir
efforts to enter. They broke a laige
| plate glass in one of the front windows,
bnt most have been frightened
by something before they could enter
for as soon as the broken window was !
discovered bv Chier Gilbert he made j
an examination and found that the j
thieves had not entered the store. A
blood-hound was secured and wa^ put
on the trail of the thieves. The dog
followed tbe trail as far as Mr. James
Cathcart's, where the tracks of the
two meu separated and went in different
directious. This seemed to con
fuse thejdog and the search was give:) I
up.
A GOOD SUGGESTION*.
We have received a cole from a little
girl "what stays" at Rockton. She
says:
"Mr. Editor: You have given the
preachers some good books and the j
young ladies, the sweet sixieens, a nice
watch, and we, 5he little ones in and
around Rocktoc, think it about time to ;
offer something for ihe children. We '
? .. I
don't think it fair to treat us iD tnis
way, and hope yon wi I put up a prize
for us, a bicycle, or a doll, or something
eise nice, n:id wc anxiously
await tbe offer."
"We think that this is a good suggestion
and a very fair one It is about
time the little ones were having a
chance. In a few days we shall offer
them a prize. We would like to have
some further suggestions from them as
what the prize should be, and how it
is to be offered. Do they want cour>rv*n

AN INCENDIARY FIRE.
On Friday night at about ten
o:c!ock fire was di-covered in W. R.
Doty & Co-'s corn h>nse, which was
very near Mr. R. Y. Turner's stable,
and just back of of his store. When
the fire was first seen it had made
such progress that to save the buildings
already 'on fire was an impossibility
and the fire companies turned
their attention to saving tha adjicent
buildiDgs. For qnitc a while it seemed
as though a small blacksmith shop
which was io front of the burning
stable and Doty Co.'s large feed
and sale stable in ti e rear c >u!d not
be saved, but the fivmen worked with
all their might and energv, keepii g a
constant stream of water p'a\ing on
the buildings that were endangered,
and tearing down fencing ?o as to
prevent the fire from spreading.
Fortunately, there wa* no wind blowing
or the houses across the street

j the corn house a;ni stable were en:
tirely consumed. Doty ?fc i o. lost
about $300, and Mr. Turner $159.
Neither ot the bui'ding-s were insured.
The place wbero tlie stable ?lood seems
to be fated, this being th> third build j
that has been burnt on that spot. It
is supposed the fire w-..s the work of
an incendiary. Doty & Co. have
been peculiarly unfortunate, this being
the third fire that they have had
within a few years. The corn house
contained about 300 bushels of corn.

It ia desirable to get tip several mere
camps so as to form a regiment within
Fairfield County, ai.d as far as practicable
cultivate a spirit of brotherly
love and perpetuate the memory of our
comrades as they drop out of our sight
one by one. My comrades, our rauks
are fast thinning' out; won't you join
this fraternal movement? We could
very easily hare four or five camps,
whereas there are only two i;i oar

Camp Kaines meets in Winnsboro on
the first Monday in Jnne next to make
final arrangements for sending delegates
to the grand reunion in Nashville,
Tenn., next month. We earnestly
request the gentlemen named
below to look alter the formation of
camp; in their respective sections and
send delegates to meet with our camp
on the day mentioned above to take
steps toward the organization of a
regiment, and also respectfully invite

RIDGFWAY'S FINANCES.
"Where arc the Profits??Hard Times at
Ridgeway.
Mr. Editor: An ordinance, to lake
effect Jane 1st, was passed by the
council on Friday to raise money to
defray the expenses of the town ::or
the ensuing year. Before the d^ys of
4 K n frAm fliO &"I!A
ui&jjcusai iT5-? xutvijuv Aivm iiiv v j
of liqnos?, along with the taxes p-.id,
gave the town a sufficient amount of j
money 10 employ two policemen, h<-.ve
the town well liifh'ed aud the streets
kept in good condition. Now it is
quite a contrast. The 6600 paid by
the bar-rooms have been taken away
and nearly half the lamps are not u-i;d
and one man is expected to do police
duty for the entire place and is kept on
duty una! 12 o'clock at night. The
treasury is often erpty and money is
borrowed to pay expenses, blioaid I
tbis be? If 'he proprietors of the bars I
could pay $603 revenue to the town,
should not half the profits of the sale
of liquors at the dispensary be an
eqnal amount? On December 1, 1S9G,
$51.90 was paid to the town for its
share for the quarter and since that
date not one cent has been paid to the
town. The law, I believe, says that a
settlement mu^t be made every three

dawn of day, David R. Colcmai, of
FeasterviUe, died. I think lis had
etrered the 70:b year of bis age. He
catnc near losein^ his life while blasting
rock ou tlis first work none on the
S. ?fc \V. II. R. at a cut near and
uorth of Blair?. Happily he had a
scientific, kind and attentive friend in
his brother, the late Dr. Robert W.
Coleman; also his father and mother
were ihen living and other brothers
and two sisters were then living.
They have all passed to the beyond
but George W. Coleman, the youngest
of all his father's famii}T, who is living

David K. Coleman, in tha.t sad
blow np, came near loseing his sight. ;
II<2 was benefited somewhat by a ;
specialist. He never did recover his
sight perfectly. His funeral was
largel) attended. The service was
conducted by the Rev. James Wolling,
Methodist minister, who has beeu in .
the missionary service of that church 1
to Brazil, and is going again shortly
I hear. lie was attended by his own ]
son, Dr. G. Robert Coleman It was j
tender to sec the weeping and tears i
from his family, numerous kinsfolk I
and friends. All were conscious that
a good man had gone. We are confident

I f'Ttt r npvvs' n ivrT KETHEL CHURCH. 1
Mr. Editor: Pioase allow me space
in the columns of your paper to express
a few scattering thoughts that
may be brought out by me as the result
of attending the annual childrens'
day services at Bethel Church. You I
KnT-r. -tin n-pfon VlOOVll if Rfllfl t.hat !

' 'people eat to live," but I Uiink it
very probable, that had you been on
the grounds, or where I was, in the
centre < f that great big old square
table :hat the f^ood ladies of the surrounding
neighborhood bad so heavily
hdened with baker's bread and hash,
besides all the other eatables that were
scattered, ami thrown promiscuously
from the hands of several of the good
j
ladies and kind-hearted gentlemen
who composed the committee?that
you (with myself) would have reached
another conclusion, "that they live to
eat.'- Jbut ict mat oe as u may, i can
assure yon that the feeding part certainly
went on. I make mention of
this first, as I consider that it played a
very important part of the programme.
We reached tbe church about 11 30
o'clock a. m. and, not to our surprise,
found the church pretty well crowded;
but we were fortunate enough to <:et
very comfortable seats, where we
could hear and see. Tbe programme,
v-Jiich wa? cariiid out in full, was
vcr- entertaining as well ts instructive;
the recitations we.io all f-uitable
to the occasion, and the singing,
which was led by Mr. D. G. Ruff, the
superintendent of the Sunday School,
and Mrs. F. Iv. Mann, the organist,
who was followed by the school was
well worth listening to. Tbe pro
gramme was iiui very auu u
was soon gotten through with. All
were then formerly dismissed by the
preacher in chargc, the Rev. Mr.
Miller. The most of the crowd then
left the church and (oi course) moved
slowly towards the table. Everything
was still and quiet as if listening for
the welcome call: "Everybody- came
to dinner"! which soon greeted our
T- - ? IT Hf- TT
ears, ane can was given uy iui . u jj.
Cauthen about 1 o'clock, aDd everybody
responded by taking their place3
(or somebody else's) at the table,
which I told you was so boantifully
spread. Dinner was over, all were
filled and nobody hurt (hat I heard of.
Then everybody made a rush for the
wt-11, all got a drink, then scattered
about in buggies, wagons, and all
seemed to be enjojiug themselves.
All of the other churches on the circuit
were we!! represented, and we
expect to show our appreciation of 1
their prcsonce with us bv returning
the visit to their childrens' day service (
a't llonticello, Shiloh and Cedar Creek. ;
so look our, we are coming.
The crowd began to disperse aboat
4 o'clock, and by C, were all gone.
Everybody left with a pleasing countenance
as much as to say, "It is good <
to have been here;" and I believe had
they been asked the question, thatthey
would have given that answer without
the slightest prevarication.
I would like to say more about the
children's days, (for the old folk3 to
<<o to), but as there are more to follow
at the other churches I will leave
snmA nnso5d. frsr wf>. arft pertain that
some of us will have the pleasure and
opportunity of telling the readers of
Tiie News and Herald how the
children's clay picnic at Winnsboro
was enjoyed by us, from the fact that
they arc to have it at night. "Oh!
don't do tbat, Winusboro;" have it in
daytime and obout Rock .City or Flat
Rock. Get a move on yourself.

BICYCLISTS MEAN BUSINESS.
Now that bicycles arc laxed, and
bicyclists form such a considerable
factor in tbe population of cities, the
wheelmen are organizing to secure
their rights. They do not propose to
pa\ taxes on wheels and not have
streets 011 which they can ride them,
and where the character of the street
is not suitable for bicycles, and it is
not practicable to make the whole
street available, bicyclists are demanding
that the city government shall
prepare a bic>c'e path on one tide of
the street, near to the drain along
which wheelmen may go comfortably.
The whee.men in New Haven are
alive to their rights, a<.<i a^e setting
an example that will be watched ana
followed by wheelmen everywhere.
The New Haven Register say:
"The street committee of the New
Haven Bicycle Union met the other
night. There was represented every
ward in the city. It was vited to
have a representative in each ward
that he should have from fonr to
twelve deputies to assist Mm. It was
also decided to request complete reports
as to the condition of the streets
in each ward. The executive comtaittee
made a request on the street com- i
mittee that an effort be made to have
provided strips along unpaved streets
of (he city, on which wheelmen could
travel more easily. It was suggested
that these strips be laid alongside
gutters and that the surface be made
of cither brick or asphalt. It is the
Ari5n?A*? fVlA fhof f Ku ???
v;[/unv;u ux wg wviuuvio IMUW ^UW I?M
provement with proper effort could be
procnred and a sub-committee was appointed
to look into the matter and
report recommendations."
This is not an unreasonable demand.
The wheelmen are citizens who pay
taxes and who use wheels not simply
as a matter of pleasure, but in the
pursuit of their daily avocations in
going from plaee to place, in calling
upou customers, in collecting bills, or
drumming trade. They are entitled
to streets upon which the? can travel,
and the indications are that they mean
to have tbem. The bicycle has done
more to influence good roads and good
streets than any other siDgle factor.?
