May you all be happv aod e:?joy pcace and prosperity. The past year has not been wiihont matiy troubles. In many homes in our county, its inmates have been called upon to mourn, but we trust that out of every sorrow * -3 -*T- - 4. -X there may oe seen joy, auu mat ?ifection may in the end work good. The past year has been a bard one, it is trae. Cotton, onr main support, the price of which measures our prosperity, has sold very low, but after all we are befter off than those in Klondike surrounded by millions and millions of gold. None of n* may have a grea: deal of money, but we should be thankful tbat there is no real suffering among us. What a fine record it is tbat no one in Fairfield ever starves! If there has ever been a nf cturration in the COQlltv be cause food could not be had, we have never heard of it. This state of affairs kas prevailed so long, and we are so accustomed to if, that sometimes we fear that our pe<pie do not really appreciate the blessings of Ibis country. V\ e have been free from famine and plague, cyclones and pesti.'er.ces. With an honest effort, there is no one who can not make a reasonable support in Fairfield County. This is not true in many, many places. Our county i? a great old county, and if we shall cnly treat her right the will repay us tenfold. We hope that the' new year is full of blessiDgs for the people oi old Fairfield. A tew days ago we reproduced an j article from the Mail, of Lowell, Mas3., j which lor consummate cheek it would j be hard to surpass. It proposed that j the nationa; government come to the rescue of New England manufacturers, . because they were so far removed from the cotton fields, by putting them \ 011 tqual lootiDg wilh Southern miiis. This is to be done by having uniform hours of labor throughout the country. New England now has a contempt for "the cheap negro" iaJ&t'OL the South, according EEs Mai], ?^alviiuagi! 1? mrtuTSn the truth lbat negroes are not employed in Southern raiils. Bat it wants to be on equal footing with the South. New England is "anxious and willing" to raise the South to her own high standard, if we are to believe the MaiL A few days ago, we also published statistics to show that this same New England received from *be national government more than it contributed, and that the South was annually paying much more than it received. If New England is then so "anxious and willing" to have every section placed on equal footing, why then does the Mail not advocate that-the South shall receivs its jasf proportion of what it contributes to the government? At the conference of Ind;ana Bepub licacsheid in Indianapolis a few days ago, Senator Fai-bauks expressed the belief "that the Dingley bill will prove a blessing and bring prosperity equalled only by the McKinley law itself." We have heard a great deal sbont the Dinglev law and prosperity. Several times since the bill became a law, the Kepublicai; organs hare tried to convince the country that prosperity had really come, but it was all a myth. Now we are promised prosperity after a while. Bat what kind of prosperity ? Prosperity "equalled only by the McKinley law itself'." Most oi us waut to be delivered from snob prosperity. It was under this iaw that the panic of 1893 swept the country, and under this law that the treasury was almost depleted. We are glad thai Senator Fairbanks has told the country the kind of prosperity which President McKinley promised. la truth, the Dingley law may prove a blessing. It may teach the people r.ot to rely on the Republican party and its high tariffs for protection as a meaus of bringing prosperity. Twenty ? ago we bad hardly a graded school iu the State?now we have 60 in the State.? Columbia State. Winnsboro followed very closc to Charleston by establishing the second graded school in the State. Now wouldn't it be fun to have Grc^gre r; iiirnan and Beu Tillrcan in tl c for O-ovvrnor?

Makes a Just Complaint that Nothing Has Eecu La.io. Mr. Editor: Another yew hi; ended and what has been done towards improving onr public highways. Absolutely nothiDg, so far as I have seen but coll meetings, elect presidents, vice presidents, secretaries and treasurers, pass preambles and resolutions If these things constituted building roads fairfield would have the finest | roads in the world, but they never did j nor never will. They only serve as | time wasters and relief valves. I fear as a people we are fast becoming theorists. We all have cnr pet theories, and it keeps us all busy nursing: them so that there is no time for doing anything else. Now I know that the past year has been a very disastrous one to one and all, to the fanner especially and that was enough to kill all the energy that they bad, but we are not any wor&e off than other counties, aud yet they have gone ahead and done much towards having good roads besides other improvea vts. I refer to adjoining counties o; Richland and Chester, the former has built I don't know how many miles of macadam road, and is still at work building more, while Chester on the other ade has done the same besides boring an Artesian well and putting in a complete system of water works. 1 don't ray we ought to have done all this, bat only use it to prove what decision and energy will accomplish, they were convinced that these things were necessary to their prosperity and progress, aud went to work and built them, now if they had done like we do. anDointa committee to make sti J t - ? mates as to cost, &c., who never made any estimate bo far as any one out6ideof the committee knows,'and I think it has been at least three or font* years, why they never would have had water works, and the same as to Richland's macadamized roads, they saw that it was necessary to the welfare of the county at>d decided to have thein and went 10 work to accomp!i?Ii it, now 6appose thoy hod simply called meetings ail over the county and elected presidents and vice-presidents, &c., why they t>o would to-day be krae^'ecp in n-.ad. fit V ~ ~ Willi everyuouy uuiuco auu uv w do the work, jast like Fairfic-'d i?. j What we need is men to decide what | is for the best and go to wcrk r.n.l no it. I hare discussed rhi* matter with men of experience sud intelligence and tbey teil me tha* it i> :;ot practicable to macadamize a'i our rcs-ir.; but that we can do tih.c woi\-t portion, which virtually decides (he load that a team can pull. Then why not go to work and do that? We have a splendid nnclues in the chaingang, all thiit is lacking in a competent civil engineer, and suitable machinery fo.* road building. Surely we can afford to ?Hof mnnVt fi\* crt imnrvrtonf onH opcuu mat IUUVU iv/i CV MUV?. necessary as well as bencficial work. I ihink so if the proper men will take hold of the matter, with energy and determination and quit this foolish dilly-dalying and not Jet the year of onr Lord 1898 pass by without some decided action in an ectcrprise^HKff^ portant, is the earnest _ * Omega. ? ?--^ICEWS FROM BUCEXICK. Christmas has beenspeut very quiet1 ly in our seetion. Old made his appearance at two Christmas trees, but nothing else happened out of the usual order of things here. Wc have jo3t learned that Mr. Stewart, of Longtown. met with quite a serious accident during the holidays WK?1a /?rtf cnnirrnl I nntintr Ko cfinf J T uiits VUl A V( uv kMW one side of his iace off. Misses Ha^tie Boulware, Marion and Kate Mellichamp spent a par: of their holidays with relatives in Winu^boro. They were very mnch missed during their absence. j Mr. Elliott Mellichamp, from the Farman University, paid his uncle's family a short visit while at his home in Longtown on a little vacation. Mr. DeVolt, a young v/idow<r of onr eection, is being very l: tea?ed by his friend3 about a \ :;rig lady with whom be seems to be regarding with very 3erious intentions. We wish Mr. DeVolt hapjpy success. Mrs. T. E. Smith is still very nr. well. Her many friends note with sadness that she improves very slowly. The popular Mr. Robert Hal ford is rery much missed since his return home. We would be too glad to hare him in our midst again. He was'h* backbone of onr Sunduy school, which will have to die unless some o:jo eluo takes his plaoe. Messrs. John Baker aud John Gilson are busy bnilding.

The teachei and pupils are in perfect harmony, and the patrons co-operate very nicely with the teacher. So, much success can be expected from such united efforts for the advancement of the school. The school "Is expecting a visit from the commissioner in the near futurr.

I Aco-. rdi:.g to announcement, a large number <. the most substantial fare- j ers of TowiiiLip Xo. 9 met at the j G. iibrier academy for the purpose | of organizing a cotton growers asso- j ciatlon. J. R. Curlee, township or-j ganizer, took the chair, and in a few I words stated the object of the meeting. A temporary organization was perfected with the following officers: J. R. Curlee, president; W. A. Neil, 1st vice-president; Tbos. Blair, 2nd vice-president: T. C. Leitner, secretary. Dr. T. D. McKin?try moved that the temporary oiganization be made per-; manent. Carried. The president arose and urged the necessity of a thorough organization among ibe farmers, and requested each one piesent to give their views on the subject. Dr. McKinslry was called upon, ai:d responded in a very eloquent and instructive &ddreS3. He strongly advocated the rai'-iog of home supplies, and thereby preventing us from rushing the eottou, crop on ths market as heretotore. Thos. Blair stated that the time had come when it was necessary for the farmers to organize aud strive to make the farm self-sustaining. T. \V. RufF was called on. He advoco:;ed athorongb organization among the farmers, but did not believe that they could control the cotton crop, from the fact that they had nothing to do with a large per cent of the crop. He urged all present to follow his ex' *? on/1 mflVo aillplC, raise |;icui> vi wuj uuu the farm self-sustaining. \V. M. Cnrlee was called oo and responded in a practicable talk. Ue ?aid that a thorough organizition was necessary for our own pro tection. W. A. Neil addre=sed the meeting and pointed out very clearly (he evils resulting from the lien law. J. F. levies' did not agree with Mr. Neil. He thoaght the law a go?d one, but acknowledged thit it had been abused. Several ohers present expressed themselves as being in sympathy with the organization.

Last Mc clay Digit the I3a.iti-t San day Scnool of Ridgeway gave a Christmas ir a in the church, whioiwas qui e a success. A very enj >yabie feature or ihe evening waj. the music and recitations, which had been arranged by Miss Sa'lie ilartin. The exercises were conducted by the saperintendant, Mr. C. P. Wray, and as it was so iate in the Christmas that Santa Glaus bad returned to bis home, Mr. J. M. Wilson consented to take his place. The occasion was__4_werr enjoyable one, not Qft^TioTho children, but to allpi^eeiit. Friday ni-iht quite a serious cutting affray occurred near the outskirts of the town. As Mr. John Morgan, a joang white man from LoDgtown, was leaving here for his home he wa3 hailed by three negroes and was dared to dismount. Upon doing so, one of the negroe?, who seemed to be a little more under the * spell of his one X than the other two, rushed up to him and qaite a fierce scoffle followed. The risnlt was that one of the negroes, Alf Brook=, was badly cut on the wrist, and in the neck and side, while Mr. Morgan had his check bone broken with a rock. Dr. Team got the negro together again after taking forty stitches, and both he and the white man seem to be doiDg very well. Ibe whole aflair was caused by too lively a celebration of Chfistma?. Mr. Jno. L. Parker has made quite a success of raising fall chickens this year. He had, a few days sgo, nearly a hundred frying siz', but ho is selling them off now. Lsst Sanday Rev. A. 11.
