A GRAND SUCCESS.
After several postponements the
bicycle carnival came off on Friday
afrr.r.ir?rkn ftt S.X O'clOck.
An aggregation of bicycles in motion
is a beautiful tight in itself, but when
they are beautifully and e!aboiafely
decorated, with banting, ribbons and
fiower.--, and mounted by graceful
riders, and moving with military precision
arid exactness, it then makes a
striking panorama if beauiy. The
wheels were decorated in all shades of
color, and much artistic taste was dis
played in the decorations. The manoeuvers
were executed uDder the
command of Capf. Jordan, and were
executed remarkably well, especially
consideriig that there have been only
one or two preliminary drills. The
grounds were encircled with ropes and
within the enclosed space was a lar re
audience, and every one enjoyed the
evening. Ice cream and shtrbert
were served and a good sum was
realized. At the close of the drill a
! vote was taken by the audience for
the most graceful gentleman rider,
hdy rider and the be;>t decorated
wheel. The voting was spirited and
exciting and each rider had bis or her
friends actively campaigning. It was
a hard matter to decide.
| A, JUVSO^ nuv iiauv/?oi.u wuv v<v; v>v
carnivals in Charleston, Orangeburg
; and Columbia say that the carnival on
Friday was decidedly more beautiful
than any. The wheels were all deco|
rated with exquisite taste, and the
j parade was lovely. Mr. J. L. Beaty'a
wheel was one of the very prettiest,
| and those who decorated it displayed
[great ingenuity. Miss Ella Dofy and
[Miss Jessie Jennings rode wheels
which were beautifully decoralcd, and
Mr. Cbas. Stevenson's and Miss Mamie
Jordau's were masses of lovely pink
roses. Among txthers deserving spccial
mention were Misses Allston and MaryStevenson.
A nice sum was realized from the
carnival, and ili3 young ladies who
had the affair in charge are to be congratulated
upon the antire success of
the eatertainment. We cannot de?

The strength which comes to us from
eating nourishing food is better than
stimulation, because it is new strength.
The health which belongs to a strong
body, well nourished by proper food
(properly digested), is the ouly health
that is lasting.
The difference between Shaker Digestive
Cordial and other medicines i9
simply that it helps nature to make
strength. It does not proless to cure
sicknes*, except as that sickness is a
result of weakness caused by food not
properly digested.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will relieve
the pangs of indigestion, and make
thin, sick, weak people as well as if
their stomach3 had never been out of
order.
It is a geutle aid to th^ digestiou of
nature's strength-maker, food.

INSTITUTE.
As has been strted the Farmers
Tnsfilntft would convene on Saturday,
Jane 19. The meeting was called to
order at eleven o'clock. On motion
of Mr. Bulow Maj. Woodward was
chosen chairman of the institute, and
W. R. Elliott secretary.
Mr. W. JE. A. Wyman, Professor cf
Yelenary Science at Clemson College,
was then introduced as the first
speaker. Handling his subject ably?
he sp .-kc interestirgly on the proper
and improper mcll.ol of shoeing the
horse, and the diseases originating
from improper shoeing. Dr. Wyman
exhibited two shoes suitable lor use
in this country and explained to the
audience the benciit of each. Stating
that the trog of the foot does not need
acy shoeing, nor the heelJ? and not to
allow the smith to rasp the hoof; for
in so doing an injury is done by the
covering of the foot being removed,
causing a contrac'el foot. In
paring, (he foot shonl i always be
trimmed to the white line, between the
barf, or outer surface, but never be
J low the line. Feet being parea Delow
this line causes thrash, rag-frog:,
or contraction. Ia shoeing, the nam
ber of nails should -'.e three on the
outside and four 011 the inside; the
inside of the hoof being weaker.
Faulty gaits can be cured by proper
shoeing? the bitting of the fet locks,
clicking or hitting of the shoes. To
prevent hitting of tho fct locks pare
the loot on outside lower than on outside,
and put a shoe two ounces heavier

ing, thus causing the horse to throw
the front feet farther out of reach.
Colts should never be sboi before
they are two years of age. Horses
with soft brittle feet should be dressed
with the following mixture; 3 parts
tallow, 1 of tar, and 1 of resin. Omit
the resin if hard and brittle.
The doctor then spoke oi the two
diseases in cattb that, we hive to contend
with more frequently than others,
Red water and Texas fever. Seating
that Texas fever can be noticed by a
droopy appearance of the cow, a pale
look, high temperature and a tendency
to stay away from the herd. This
disease is incurable except in very
slight attacks.
The disease is caused by a small
tick that can be distinguished by three
small stripes across the back. They
should be picked and killed, and the
I cattle should be changed from one
I pasture to another. He advises all
farmers to watch closely and destroy
" - * - - r
these pests so tnat me caiuc ui iuc
South will not have to be quarantined.
Speaking of dehorning cattle Prof.
Wyman says: "It is very brutal and
can be avoiaed by raising cattle without
horns." A batter method is to
take the calf when young, cut the hair
closely over the tip of horn, when
just beginniDg to pasn tnrongn iue
skin warm a stick of costic potash and
apply until a little blood can be seen.
Usually one application i? succeesful.
After speaking on several othsr treatments
of diseased cattle Mr. Cohen
moved that the audience express their
thanks for his instructive end iuteresting
discourse.
After a recess of an hour and a half
Prof. Hart of the dairyiug department
was introduced by the chairman and
I spoke interestingly and instructively
on the management of the dairy, the
feeding and care of cattle and selection
of the best, cows for dairying purposes.

The South being far behind iu

are made of all cows, and a standard
of 300 pounds of butter to the cow a

had concluded Prof. Morrison, whom
we all know and win needed no introduction,
interested us on the subjec of
Industrial education. He spoke of
tt!6 1ECK 01 CQUCUU^U lu luc cuuiutui
states, and explaining the difference
in manual labor and manual traiuing.
Manual labor is given for profit while
manual training teaches one bow to
think, to hear and to act; and that any
man who woold fight against any
institution of learning Irom a pine
pole cabin to a state university i3 no
better than a man who would slick a
torch to acorn .;uring a time of
famine. P.-ul\ Morrison spoke very
highly of Washington school in Ala
bama where boys arc iniued to make
buggies, harness, furniture, shoes, aud
many other articles too numerous to
mention. lie also spoke of Sheffield
in Alabama having to send to Scotland
for laborers. "Where are the boys of
the South?'' These words he said
often came to his mind. He then
stated the good work that Clemson is
doing and spoke very highly of that
institution. Inviting all to visit it
and to send anything we want analyzed
to the chemical department at
no cost to the sender.
Prof. Morrison's address was very
instructive ami intellectual. We are
sorry we cannot do justice to him and
the other professors, but not being a
stenographer the reporter failed to
c itch, by ear, anything like a synopsis
of the highly enjiyed speech.

RESOLUTIONS IX HONOR OF REV. W.
RICHARDSON*.
At the recent meeting of the colored
; eople of our community in commemoration
of the memory of the late Rev.
Willard Richardson, the following1
resolution* were passed:
Whereas it has pleased the Supreme
Being of the Universe to remove by
death our beioved and venerable
teacher and friend, Re7. Willard Richardson;
whereas, Rev. Willard Richardson
was the founder and for eighteen
years the able and successful
teacher of the Fairfield Normal Insti
tute, Winnsboro, S. C., whose numerous
and distinguished students are
abroad in the land; whereas, 1.0 educator
of modern times has done more
faithful, conscientious, educational
work for the negro thau Rev. Willard
Richardson; a man who never lost an
opportunity to do good unto a'l men;
who often selected promising, brainy
young men and women, advanced
them through such studies which would
best develop and train iheir powers of
body and mind; who during the lasc
years of his eventful and useful life
enjoyed the privilege of seeing many
of those whom he trained filling important
stations of life with conspicuous
success and up to date ability;
whereas, during a long period of Rev.
W. Richardson's labors in and about
Fairfield County, S. C., he often experienced
great hardships and severe
criticisms, which he * bravely and
*? j
promptly met ana overcame, ami cuuj
pleted an era of education in this section
of the country unequaled by any
before or since his day in its fruitfulcess
and large and far-reaching results;
a man whose private and public virtues
were always and even where illustrative
of all that is best and purest in
our Christian civilization. Therefore,
Resolved, That we. the former students
and friends of Rev. W. Richardson,
in memorial meeting assembled,
would declare that the death of this
great and good man i? a loss, the effects
of which will be keenly felt by us for
t oorc fr> f*nmp_
Resolved, That in the death ol Key.
W. Richardson the cause of Chr'stian
education has sustained a great loss,
the home a genial husband and father,
the State an earnest; progressive educator,
and the country at large a public-spirited,
patriotic citizen.
Resolced, That in this their hour of
great affliction we do convey to the
sad and stricken widow and family of
the departed our pincre and tender
sympathy, and do farther testify
the profound regret which we feel
relative to the calamity which has
overtaken them. we snaa ever pray
that the kind Heavenly Father "with
whom there n no variableness or
shadow of turning," will sustain and
guide them to that Haven ot Iiest into
whose }oy and gladness Ihcir beloved
dead has entered.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the bereaved
family, Houstsn, Del,, to the AfricoAmerican
Presbyterian, and the
Winnsboro News axd Herald.

AS TO SCHOOLS.
Mr. Editor: In last week's issue of
The News and IIekald there is a
somewhat remarkable document from
ihs learned County Superintendent of
Education to the patrons and trustees
of the public schools. To the
- t A ,C moni-pfltfn
casual rcautri Ul UU3 uui^ug mnu 11WI.V)
"to which he has given much thought j
and labor," there would seem to be
nothing objectionable; but if you read
it between the lines, so to speak, it
will be readily seen that soaie of the i
principles there enunciated are contrary
to the genius of our form of
government, and "cannot be accepted
or endorsed by any who have imbibed
the principles of Jef&rsonian
Democracy, and especially not. by
those who advocate the doctrines of
the Reform pan v, of which I su-jpcse
he is consideieJ a leading exponent in
this county.
The first point in his mani:e.?to that
we no.ice is his ordering an election
of trustees on a certain day, which
is contrary to the law; and as he truly
says without precedent. That power
Caopointment of trustees) is conferred
by the law on the county board of examiners,
and as he is only one of
tbe three members of tlw board, he
h 19 just ODe vote in the matter.
Then if he had the authority to order
such an election lie stulti^es bimseif
by ordering the election and in the
next breach saying]that those el-cted
will not be commi-^ioned unless possessing
certai i qualifications or submitting
to certain restrictions laid
down by him, without law or prece
dent.
Wbo, of the patrons and trustees,
would care to take iheir chances in an
election, hedged about in such a manner?
One of these restrictions is that
must be a married man; when it is a
well known fact that unmarried me
often make the best irnstees, for the
simple reason, that ha/ins: no children
of their own they are unbiased and
are free to act in such a manner as
Will proiLl'JlC ujc u?h iiuurcets wi an
concerned.
They are not likely to put 'he school
?- J* l"_* 1 - ? T M
nouse m meir iruut yaru, or ju waning
distance of their homes, nor to
pay two pr'ces for the building of
school houses.
A great deal of stress is laid on
] harmony, and it is usually a good
thing, but when it is carried to such
a n extent that there is only one sound,
and that coarse, and without melody,
it becomes monotonous and tiresome.
However, I wonld comfort the
TTTAAI- nnfftWKfnl Kt? eldfin/y
? CC JV~ rv 11 tu auu uiuaituiui kj j
that Ibis mighty sound that doubtless
has often struck terror to their hearts
is only the rushing of wind after all.
A man with very weak eyes can see
the kind of harmony that is wanted in
this instance. Do you sae the point?
In conclusion, would state that
under the law the trustees have almost
absolute authority in locating
and building school h >U53S. choosing,
paying teachers, &c., and that the
[ supervision giv*.n the county board of
I examiners?not the county suptrin;
tendent of education?is very indefinite.
The duties of the count? superintendent
of education as contemplah d
by the law are on > different line altogether
but time and space forbid
any fur; her jommcnt?.
Respectfully,
