churches on Sunday, the Method!^
and the Presbyterian. The pastors of
the other churches were all absent

in Columbia on Monday nlgh>

" " - t V 1-3
diamonds, Tvaicnes, oom g-??u iiuu
plated jftvvelry, bronzes, clocks, cut
glass, chioa, optical goods, etc. His
store is very large, he carries a large
stock arid his facilities are the best,
and is confident that be can please
everybody. Read his ad.
?Mothers would do well to look at
Q. D. Willi ford's stock of suits for
school boys. These suits are made
especially for hard wear. He has a
large and very complete stock of boys'
and children's suits of all kinds. Also
a complete line of shoes. See his advertisement
elsewhere.
?The preliminary hearing in the
case of R. W. Hotlis, supervisor of
registration of this county, charged
with opening a letter addressed to
^ W. W. Collins, a Mormon elder, was
r held before Commissioner Jennings in
* Columbia last week. Hollis was pat
undor a $200 bond for trial in the
federal conrt.
?Yorkville is to have a b.^ycle
track, and the work will be commenced
at once. Yorkville is about
the size of Winnsboro, but her bi
cyclists are evidently more enterprising.
There are so many wheels here
now that we really ought to be able to
build a track. Iu this respect we are
behind most of the other towns in the
State.
?Mr. Thomas Lyles. of Midway,
La., pays his subscription up to 1899,
and says: "I have been a subscriber
to your e? teemed paper since 1860, and
' expect to remain one as long !as the
or TT1V liffl lasts."'
AO ^/UVUVUVVJ v? m?j ?
These words from an old subscriber
are Jhighly appreciated, and in paying
f his subscription so promptly sets some
of onr other subscribers a good example.
?On Monday the merry-go-round
was packed up and shipped to some
other point. The - managers must
bare met with success here for they
made a loi-g f-tay. "For weeks past,
both night and day have been made
hideous to those who were unfortunate
enough to live near the pkce where
the tent was pitched. Tbe wooden
steeds posa^s a strange fascination for
B children and they never seem to tire
Mar of it.

the crowd. Ibis is a very good sugx
gestion acd would no doubt prove a
very great convenience, and the wearing
oc these badges wouldir. all probability
bring about many very pleasant
f meetings.
?Just a fortnight off, is the State
Fair. A number of entries Lave already
been made, and a number of attractions
have been secured. The most
unique feature of the week will be a
marriage in a balloon. The marriage
will take place in mid-air and the
bridai party will return from their tour
by means of parachutes. Five hotels
will hftimpn to visitors and numberless

pablic, so that the crowd will be easily
accommodated.

men and wiil make a succoss of their
new enterprise.
^ ?An appeal has been made by the
United Confederate Veterans to the
Sontberu people to buy tbe "Life of
Jefferson Davis," which was published
by Mrs. Davis. Tbe sale of the book
r has not been sear as large as it should
V- have been, and as Mrs. and Miss Davis
are in need of money, tbe veterans arc
exerting themselves to increase tne
sale of the book. The "Life of Jeflferfe^on

?Some very serious charges have
been made against Mr. Elkin, the dispenser
at jRidgeway. Mr. Elkin is
accused of selling whiskey to drunkards,
and of keeping the dispensary

bis sales and at the same time increas

published in a recent issue of the

charges, and saying that the accusation

trying to injure the dispensary. No
8tep3 have been taken to find oat the
real truth of the matter as yet.

DEATH OF DENJfY 3. MURPHY.
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.

his reasons for not having kept

attention, bicyclists!
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.

"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."
