it standing in his yard only a few feet
from bis door step. On Friday morning
Fred discovered his wagon wa3
gone. Upon inquiry ii was fonnd
that Mr. Aioer: J. Brown had lost a
bale of c -tlon. The supposition is,
that the thieves quietly slipped Tearson's
wagon, went by Mr. Brown's
gin house and loaded a bale of cotton.
At last accounts a search was being
, made towards Columbia. Ii was a
one-horse wagon, bui where the mule
or horse was obtained to pull it is not
known. Messages have been sent out
and it is expected that the thieves will
soon be overtaken.

Chau^auquau Magazine. Will you be
eo kind as to publish it?
The name of the Klondike River is
still spelled in three ways. To represent
more exactly the pronunciation
of the Indian name it should be
spelled "Thoru-Dinck," but th9
? miner's version has been accepted,
and the name should be spelled according
o the simple and commonsense
rules of our board on geographic
names. T->e authoritative spelling is
"Kloudi';*as it is now appearing in
all our government publications.

A INTERESTING MASONIC REEIC.
Mr. A. M. Terry, ot Greenville,
Tennessee, sent to Mr. W. D. Douglass
an uld paper which is of soi e
interest to the Masons. It is a certificate
that Charles Lewis "was by ns
in our Royal Arch Excellent Assembly
duly invested with the honors of said
Sublime Arch, and by us instructed
in the mystery of the same, and during
his continuance as a member behaved
himself with honor, sobriety, and fidelity
as becomet'i a Royal Arch Excellent
Mason, and now at his departure
has paid eff all his arrears."
This certificate "refers to the Sublime
and Excellent Royal Arch Assembly
as being held under the sanction of
Lodge No. 6, in the town of Winnsboro,
and is signed by James Craig,
High Priest. Jt seems that Charles
Lewis desired to leave home, and
wanted a certificate ot good standing.
The paper bears date March, 1796.
Althongh it is over a hundred and
I 0
one years old the writing is plain and
| distinct. James Craig was a prominent
citizen of Fairfield having been
'County Judge and a member of the
South Carolina Convention.
Mr. Terry says that he has a number
of old papers relating to this section
and tbey will be sent here.

THAT "800,000 TON'S OF GRANITE."
A Subscriber Doubts Its Correctness, and
Gives Some Strong Reasons Why He
Thinks that there is a Mistake Some,
where?Can't Major Woodward
Prove these Figures Correct?
Mr. Editor: The writer was one who
regarded the printad statement of
"$00,COO tons of stone being raised at
a single blast" a typographical error,
and although yoti have affirmed in the
columns ot xhe inews and uekald ins
correctness of tfao original statement,
I am still inclined to tlrink there is a
serious mistake somewhere. Let us
examine into the matter a little.
Twelve cubic feet of sound granite
will weigh a ton or a little more.
800,000 tons?9,600,000 cubic feet'or
more than a cubic "acre." SOO.OOO
tons equal to a column of granite 100
square feet at base and 960 feet in
height. The Washington monument
would be * "pygmy" beside it. 800,000
tons equal to 40,000 carload;? of 20
tons each, or a continuous train about
288 miles in length. If 100,000 lbs. of
dynamite had been used in this blast
each pound would have raised 8 tons.
If 800,000 tons of rock had to be supplied
for jetty or other construction it
would take over four years to *hip it
of 30 cars of 20 tons each were furnished
each working day during that
time. I venture the assertion that if
OAA AAA f An n /VVM'AAf M 11 m -
<JVVjVVU IUUO lO lliV
ber of tons moved by this blast,
Fairfield Couuty must surely hold the
world's x-ecora in the blasting line,
although the ,writen ha3 110 encyclopedia
at hand to consult in the matter.
If the figured (800,000 tons) be correct
much more might be and ought 10
be said in order to give some idea of
what such figures mean. If they be
incorrect I know you wiil be only too
glad to make the proper correction. I
hope you will investigate the matter
further and give the public a little
more light on the subject.

While Christmas draws near and
the happy New Year, lor a short season
our brains and energies are taxed
to the utmost in :he selection of suitable
and appropriate gifts as expressions
of good will to our loved one3
atm ineuus. men, too, tn;s is a season
ffhcu we indulge ourselves in
those things which wc baye wished
for or needed, but have-delayed purchasing
from time to time for different
reasons. Here in our southland, this
is the time when wc can best afford
luxuries as we.l as necessities, and the
time also, with bast wishes in our
hearts for our friends, wc go from
shop to shop iu the indeavcr t) find
gifts for them both useful and ornamental.
In searching for a complete
stock, those wishing for goods '-'cheap
for cash" cm find a variety at the
store of
u. vr. doty & co.'s,
where buggies, harness, wire,&c., can
be found by the men; the ladie3 can
salcct ooe of those sewing
machines which always prove
satisfactory f:> the successful seamstress.
Just across the street in a
most convenient location one fiads
oneself at the entrance of the
KETCHIN MERCANTIIE CO.
Nowadays good clothes, if they fit
well, will do more for a man than the
best armor. The manager of this
company, realizing this, has made
gents clothing a specialty, and there
the dude, the divine, the merchant,
the lawyer, the professor, and all men,
can find styles to suit the man; and
not only in a neat fitting suit, but
anything in the way of haberdashery,
pleasing to any vanity of tastes. This
firm also has a selection of shoe3,
men's, ladies' and children's dress
sroods. shirtings, etc.. which will re
pay careful examination. There i3
another place in this vicinity which
always attracts (he shoppers, but at
this time of year is simply irri>istible.
We speak of ths
MCMASTER CO ,
where we can get just what is wanted
in stationary, drugs, ?fcc., where the
druggist welds the pnatnlar and
mixes with his nauseous concoctions
a wish for the speedy recovery of a

can find silts for your most fastidious
friends; for the one who smoke9, and
for the frieod who refrains fro.n the

though). Gifts for the wife, sister
and our best girl. Also books of all
styles china, cut-glass, novelties io
leather goods in useful combinations,
and with these courteous and untiring
attention.
On the same block, and occupying
the large store on the corner, is the
firm of
CALDWELL & RUFF.
While they do not deal in Xmas novelties,
one can find all that the patrons
of first clasa dry geods store can desire,
many articles which are indispensable
to onv homes, and necessary
to our lives?embracing in each, (hose
values which customers have a right
to expcct. THs is where the ladies
can buy a becoming winter snit, with
all the latest novelties in trimming?, a
stylish hat and coat in harmony, and
late cats in the style of foot wear.
Also a stock of gents goods, blankets,
linens, curtains and everything that
can be found in an up-to-date store,
except those things which delight and
refresh the inner man.
Just across the way is the combination,
fancy grocery, and bicycle shop
of
Mil J. L. BEATrS.
Tl;is is the place where the ingredients
for your Xmas cake can be found to
perfection, a large line of crisp crackers,
cheese wafers, pickle?, olives, and
so on, for the succcss ot your Xmas
dinner. fle;e too is the Mecca of the
cyclist. Tbe conquering and stiil to
conquer puncture cm be overcome,
for a time at least, one's balls can be
regulated and all the ills that bicycles
are heir to can receive that mechanical
attention that keeps them as light
as air.
When one leaves the Bank
with a heavy pocket, it is only a step
to
WILLI cORD'S
emporium where an immense
Jstock ot dry good wiil tempt
one in search of beautiful bargain? to
linger and relieve his pocket of its

There are some thinis which ought
to be bought often, and thess are ihe

While flamingo tongues and peafowl

of

There we find the latcs: couceits in
Gainsboroughs and picture hats,

Here we find Mr. U. G. De&Portes

From a bicycle bell, a pound of bacon,

store in town and should be '
one of the first for you to visit.
Then, too, we cannot pass by the
ALLIANCE STOCK,
chocked full of fancy groceries. Mr.
A. Y. Milling is proprietor, and has
just received a fresh stock. There is
nothing stale about this attractive store,
and Lis prices are as inviting as his
stock. From
there you may cross the street
again, and bay yourself a stylish driv

good mule with which to make your

PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
The Xcvr Hope Burying Ground, the Place ^
Where the Whigs Assembled the Night xr
Before the Attack at Mobley's Meeting J,'
House?Fairfield Whigs and Chester it
and York Whigs Exchanged Fire pi
Through a Mistake?A' Ball Found ^
on the Spot While a Grave
was Being Dug. g
Editor Xews and Herald:
I have recently received some additional
information, relating to the
battle at Mobley's Meeting Housa,
which, I think, will be interesting io
many of year readers. It is the tridition
of the neighborhood of New
Hope A. It. P. Church, that the place ^
appoimcJ for the meeting of the ,
Whio-a nf Ynrk Chester and Fair
" ??
field before the contemj^ated attack
oil the Tories and British at Mobley's
Meetiug House, was the ,slope of the t]
hill near the present site of the New c
Hope grave-yard, and near the old a
road, formerly known in that vicinity q
as the old Cornwallis Road. I am informed
by Mr. R. Wade Brice, of
Woodwards, who formerly lived very
near this church, that, when be was
a boy, he was at this grave-yard,
where Mr. Divid Pink?, of that
neighborhood, was.superintending the
digging of a grave; he found therein
ounce ball, and was told by Mr. Pints
that he .-upposed that it was one of
the balls which was shot by the
Whigs at that place, on the night bafore
the attack on the Tories at
\faKIau^j UTaatitirr Mnno \fr Pjnl'a ^
UiV Kf l\yj <9 jlivucw* MAi.t i. J
then informed him that he was toid d
by David Wilson, an old Involution- ?
ary soldier, who formerly lived near "
there, that tbo Fairfield Whigs weir, a
on that night, lying on the slope of
that hill awaiting the arrival of the 21
Whigs of-York and Chester, for whom "
they had sent a "runner," and that ?
each party of Whigs, mistaking eaeh ~
other for Tories, fired at each other, fe
but the mistake was fortunately d;.:- "
covered before any one 'was bar4. "
It is also a tradition in that neighbor- a'
hood, that Captain Robert Carnaghan
was the leader of the Whigs of that
section. I find from old deeds re- ~
corded in the Clerk's office, that two ?
hundred acres of land, embracing t'je 11
site of New Hope church was grant :d ^
to Robert Carnaghan in 1786. ProL iably
he lived on this land in 1780, as
very fraquently lands were occupied
.j.1 t?t
uy seiners^ uciuic ilc uiaut uv
land was issued by the State. Benjamin
.Uarnaghan, by deed dated tiie
18th day oc November 180G, as "sn
and heir-at law of Robert Caroaghan,
deceased" conveyed this land to John ?
Calhcart, which is described in tie ?
deed &s follows: "All that plantation F
or tract ot land containing two hnn- 11
dred acres, except one acre given by e!
his father for the use of the Presbyterian
Society, on which a meetiag *3
house now stands, originally granted '
to Robert Caruauhan, father of tie 81
said Benjamin, on the 6th day of Feb- P
ruary, 178G, and halh a memorial ?
thereof entered in the secretarj's
office in Grant Book F. F. F. F., pa^e c<
21?said land situate in Camden Dis- ?
trict on the waters of Little Rirer, and ~
hath snch shape, marks and boundaries b
a3 appear on a plat thereof annexed to ?:
the original grant." The same laud ?
was subsequently conveyed bv John f
Catlicart to Samuel Caihcart, Jin 1811, lX
and by Samuel Cathcart to James a
Brice, Sr., in 1831, and by James
Brice, Sr., to his son Dr. Walter Brice, ?
the faiber of R. Wade Brice, in 1835, 11
and in all these deeds, the same refe- 0
rence is made to the original grant to *
Robert Cavnaghan, deceased, and one ?
acre is reserved and described as "one b
acre giren by Robert Carnaghan for the
use of ihe Presbyterian Society, on
which a meeting house now stands."
The "meeting-house" referred to in p
these deeds, is the old building wbicb
was long used as a school-house, and
stood on ihe opposite f-ide of the
road, and south of the lane which lfd
to .he re.*idence of Dtv Waiter Bricc, n
now the home of his widow Mrs. 1!
Emma Brice. Near ibis old buildins e:
mere were .'everai graves. iu uue wi ?
ihem, I have been informed, Robert e
(Jarnagban was buried; but no head- r<
stone was ever placed there to desig- n
nate the place of his burial. a
Ilis son, Benjamin Carnaghan, I n
have been informed, removed many e:
years ago, to Alabama. a
The church building which wa* nsen ii
by the New Hope congregation, prior a
to the late war, and uatil the present p
church was built, is situated two or fi
three hundred yards above where the o
old builcing mentioned in the deeds b
above referred to, was located. S
