News reached town on Friday of the death of Denny S. Murphy, which oc curred on 14th inst. from paralysis. Mr. Alarphy was about fifty-five years of age and lived itear Jenkiaisville. Mr. Murphy came to this country from Maryland and was a Confederate soldier. A widow and six children survives him. A New Telephone Line. A telephone line now connects "Winnsboro with "White Oak. This line runs to Mr. W. C. Beaty's store, and from there to the bank. This line will prove a very great convenience. Winnsboro is connectcd now by telephone, with the principal towns in Fairfield County, and the nnmber of telephones will increase when the people realize more fully how indis pensaDie mey are. Look After the Streets. Would it not be well if the town council would pass a Jaw prohibiting people from throwing paper and other rubbish into the streets? As it is, the main street of town, particularly, is made perfectly unsightly by the acmmnkfinn of rnhhish from one end of it to the other, and in fact the whole town is sadly in need of a cleaning. Aside from the nnsightliness, it is most unhealthy, and out cf consideration for :he health of the town, some steps should be taken towards giving the town a cleaning. Strangers coming to Wmnsboro must be struck with '.he untidy appearance of the streets, and as ihfi first, imnressiem is o-enerallv-a lasting one, it is most important that visitors should be pleasantly impressed. Something should be done at once. Fire Tramps Arrested Sunday. For several days a party of tramps h&s been encamped in iha woods near town, but until Sunday, they were, seemingly, entirely peaceable and quiet. On Sunday, however, one of tbe tramps went to Chief of Police Gilbert and complained that he had been beaten and robbed by bis companions. The man said that all of his money, which amounted to only 85 cents, and his hat, had been taken from him. Chief Gilbert went to the camp and arrested the four tramps, and also took the first tramp into custody un?il the case could be examinoH intn On \fr?nda.v mnrnincr the tramps were brought before Mayor Coan, but as there was no proof that the men were guilty, he reprimanded them and advised them to leave town as quickly a? possible and not to return, or they would be iut on the chain gang. Tbe m n took the mayor's advice and left speedily. The arrest created a ripple of excitement, for it was a very unusual event for Sunday afternoon, at least, verv unusual in Winnsboro. GEN.

I wish to. call tbo attention of the bicycle riders to the general disregard of the bicycle ordinance. There is a great deal of complaint by citizens of the bicyclists riding without lighted lamps at night and passing pedestrians on sidewalks while riding two or more abreast, and in other ways disregarding their rights. Now it is not the wish or disposition of the council to put the bicycles in the street, but the provisions of the ordinance must be obeyed. If the bicyclists appreciate the privilege of riding on sidewalks tbay will see that this cau9e of complaint does not continue, or the council will be compelled to pass another ordinance which will prohibit them from riding oh sidewalks altogether. Parents. whose*cbi!dren ride bicycles, should see to it that they understand and obey the ordinance. J. E. Coao, Intendant. Winnsboro, Oct 25, 1897. OASTORIA. UPPER LONGTOTTX LOCALS.

He managed to secure an ntrodnction to Commodore Yauder)iit, who was never noted for his gen:le manners. Westinghouce foand aim engrossed in his correspondence, ind he did not deign to stop reading lis letters while the inventor extojiea :he merits of his invention. When he nad spoken his little piece Vanderbilt fortbefiist time seemed to take any aotice of him, and, looking up sudlenlv, sa:d in his gruffest tones: "What's that you say?" So Westinghouse commenced all :>ver again and explained how by an lir pressure of thirty pounds to the square foot the brake was applied by the engineer, and when he finished he waited patiently for the verdict. Once more the old Commodore raised bis] bead long enough to jerk out: :tWhat's that you say about air?" Westinghouse told him. Looking him steadily in the face, the aid man replied in freezing tor.es: "That will do; I have no time to waste with a d?d fool." Discouraged but not disheartened, Westinghouse left, only later;to bring the great invention to the knowledge of the Pennsylvania railroad authorities. At that time Tom Scott was president of the corporation, and he at once saw the practicability of the invention and allowed some ol his cars to be equipped with it. Witb that opening it was easy enough to get' other roads to use the brake, and Westinghouse's fame and fortune were made. When that time had arrived he ore day received a letter from Commodore Vanderbnilt asking him to call at the Central's office. Mr. "Westinginghouse's reply was terse and to the point. He simply wrote: "I have no time to waste witb a d-d fool." Incontinence water dnriug sleey is stopped immediately by Dr. Detch* ou's Anti Diuretic. Cures children and adults alike. Price $1.
