In the gin* ! hoase were six bales of seed cotton belonging to Mr. Davis and one bale be* longing to a" negro, all of which were lost. Mr. Davis also lost bis gin, press and saw mill.

Mr. Jededlah Bobbins' Singin' Sknle is coming and will hare their speeches and singing in the Thespian Hall on the night of Friday the 19th inst. In every place that the Singin' Sknle has been given it has drawn large crowds who were amneed and delighted. Meiers. Bertram and Willard with the assistance of local talent will give the Singin' Sknle, and Miss Charlotte Allston is now bu3j getting the required number of singers to t&ke part. The entertainment is very fucny and is sure to prove a great success here. The following taken from the Columbia Regi?ter of July SOth will show what a success it was in Columbia: The "congregation" which attended Hyatt's Park last night witnessed a very clever, clean and laughable entertainment in Jedediab Bobbins' Singin' Skule?ye congregation numbered a great many hundred people; so many in fact that the trolley cars "were tested to their utmost capacity and then failed to accommodate .all who desired to witness it. The entertainment which was given for the benefit of Camp Hampton, C.V., was a complete success in every way. The antics of the "skollers" kept the audience in roars of laughter, while the mtuic was especially good. A return date has been a. ranged with Messrs. Bertram and Willard in September, which is the first open date they have. xo cure-xo pay . This is the way all druggists sell Gbove's Tasetless Chill Toxic for Chills and Malaria.

He desires that those in the State having lands for sale, will give him descriptions of their lands, and he will call the attention of thousands of people to it. There are many people in Fairfield who have valuable lands for sale and this might enable them Indispose of them, and in this way the land-owners could be benefited and at the same time the county would derive benefit by having Northerners and Westerners come here to settle.

A Convict Is Cruelly Flogged. , Oo Wednesday, a reporter for The Ne?vs and Herald waa requested to go to tbe jaiJ, and see Carter, the tramp, who was put on the chain gang a few weeks ago. Carter was found lying on a pallet, and a more pitiable eight the reporter had -*ot seen in a long time. Upon an examination, this poor unfortunate was found to have been the victim of brutal and barbarous treatment, and that too in a civilized country, in the very custody of the officers of the law. Oaly bis right side was seen, and it was thick with large, ugly sores. The reporter was told that hie Ipf^ oir?p wnB pvati wnrRfl. Onr in formation is that Carter was pat on the chain gang for some pett> offense, and that he had fever at the time. lie refused to work, and the wounds on him are the result of the whippings he got. Whatever may be said of the necessity of controlling prisoners and rendering them obedient to their custodians, there can be found no excuse for the condition of this miserable creature. He is now a very sick man. It is with reluctance that we ever criticise the officers of Fairfield County, who are always efficient, but in this instance the press cannot be silent. A convict is a human being, and such inhuman torture a3 was administered to Carter ought not to be allowed to pass without placing the responsibility, and some one should answer for tbo conse quences. Carter is now at the jail, and the grand jury can examine him. for themselvesv Chief of Police Gilbert has received a letter Irom Mrs. Carter, of Richmond, Va., the mother of the unfortunate youth now lying in such a pitiable condition in the jail. Mrs. Carter heard of the arrest of her son and wrote to Chief Gilbert begging him to be as lenient as Dossible to her wav ward son, but she of coarse has no idea of his real condition. Mr. Gilbert answered her letter, and told her that her son is here sick in jail, but told her that the best of care is being taken of him, and that he is receiving medical attention and a nurse has been provided him. The poor mother seems almost heart-brokeu over her son's disgrace. UPPER LOKGTOWN NEWSThe ladies of the Presbyterian Church served cake and lemonade at the upper Longtown school hoose last night.

The Road Law as Bad as it la Could be Made More Effective?The Dispensary Assailed and High License Advocated. Mr. Editor'. I notice that ia our county there are being organized what are termed road vigilant committees, or something of the kind. Let me suggest that their first doty is to call on onr conntv snDervisor and see if he has received the commutation lax, or the road duty doe the county. If not, find out the reason. In every section where the road law has been complied with, by patting in the fall four days' work, the roads ar? splendid. Some few overseers deserve s great deal of credit for the skill and push exhibited by their sections of the roads; but in uiauy places, iiic luaus aiv; aiuivot ^uipassable. Not a day, no, not an hoar of road duty has been pnt on these roads, and in a few places thi3 was the case last year. I Know that we have substituted a very poor road law for a most excellent one, yet this povr law, the food of politician?, has not been half enforced. The people are certainly not responsible for the neglect of our couuty supervisor; and his right and left hand bowers are each paid, and under contract with Fairfield County to have the road law properly enforced. The Ja-t Legislature took away the little pay allowed to overseers, and why should they not also have taken away pay from all, and treated them like the negro preacher was treated. When the preacher was asked how much his congregation paid him, he said sometimes two dollar? and sometimes not so innch. His questioner answered: "That is d?11 poor pay." To which the preacner replied: "Yes, bos?, it is d?n poor preach." Another thing. It looks like the floodgates of hell are open, and cur ! county is going io be delnged in whiskey?as the result of that miserable dispensary law. the snbstilute for a good, old time whiskey law. When you find that you are off the track, you h ui better go back. There is no use of trying to enforce a law repugnant to the Constitution ot the United States. You might as well abandon the idea at once. The better plan would be to grant high licenses to bonded sellers, half the revenue to go to the public roads. Care must be taken that the bonds are bona fide, bomb-proof, and then yoar boys will 6top buying from negroes at the woedpile at" night and on Sundays. The dispensary law, as it is enforced, is educating tha boys to drink, inducing tbe father when he wants a drink to 1~ ? Unlf t?nininnr /ho 1 ahor im. uuy n uaii'^iutj iuiu^ .M. poverishing the poor negroes, bringing to their doors crime, rain and want. We know that a negro wonld rob a setting hen to get a drink, and commit the blackest crimes while under ihe influence of whi6key. Our officers seem to like the dispensary tine. Some of them see whiskey sold and know that it is sold in various places, Sunday not excepted. Move ycur chain gang to the hills such places as are not likely to be worked by 8-hour chaps.
