rheumatism. "I had a severe attack
lately," he says, and procured a bottle
of Chamberlain's Fain Balm. It did
) sa mnch cood that I would like to
know what you would charge me for
one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson
wanted it both for his own use and to
supply it to his friend? and neighbors,

S3CALLPOX IN THE COUNTY
Dr. Langford has reported to Supervisor
Tennant that there was a case of
smallpox in his community near
Blytbewood. It is said that the naan
with the disease escaped from the pest
house in Columbia ami came to Bljtliewood.
The escape* from Columbia
are reported freqtieotly. Wc do not
know whether the numerous escapes
I reported are true or not, but it has

been lack of rigidity and strictness iu
the effort to control the disease in Columbia.
If the disease is not stamped
out soon, it will spread over the whole
State. Every day some one comes to
Winnsboro from Columbia. It might
be economy to ' quarantine against
Columbia, and do it thoroughly. The
wonder is that smallpox has not already
made its appearauee here.
Only a tew dayt ago a gentleman
I reported a case at B!air3 on the Spar!

AN t;nt stAt. Investigation
On Monday evening according to a
utalcmcnt made by Mr. Morris Meyers
ho wis itimtnoiud by Policeman Gilbert
to anne&r before tho town cuancil.
ami Mr. Meyers says that lie was informed
that the object of the meeting
was to inquire into the cause or origin
of the fire last Saturday night. After
he entered the town li^ll the doors
were locked. Mr. D. A. Crawford
acting as intendaut administered an
oath to Mr. Meyers, and Mr. Meyers
then stated what he knew about the
fire about as follows: That he left h's
store about fifteen minutes after ten,
and went to hi$ room at the hotel.
His first knowledge of the fire was
the sound of the fire bell.
Several other parties were examined.
It is learned that council was unable
to tlx tuc respoasiDUity ior me nre.
As it is generally knoarn over the
streeti, it might as well be published
that there is some suspicion that
Meyers had something to do with the
fire on Saturday night.
WHENCE THE AUTHORITY?
7 '
It i* not Stated?Acting Intendant Crawford
Says th:U Investigation into Arson
Case* has Been Made by Council on
Farmer Occasions.
Mr. Editor: I notice an article in
your isiue of this date in which you
condemn he action of the council in
holding hii investigation to ascertain
the cause ? ?r the recent fire. Sub- j
investigation? hive been held before
this by the council. The cause of the
fire was not known to the council and
it was deemed wise and proper to
make an effort to find it out. Mr.
Meyers was not before the council for
trial or preliminary examination auaer
a criminal charge. Several persons
(among them Mr. Meyeri, in whose
store the fire originated,) were examined
in order to obtaiu all of the
facts obtainable. Where, Mr. Editor,
is the impropriety of such an investigation?
I cannot see it, and think that
the council was only performing its
duty to the citizens of the town.
I am happy to have this_opportunity
to ?tate that at our investigation nothing
was developed to show either
neglect or criminality on the part of
Mr. Meyers.

TO THE PROHIBITIONISTS OF THE
STATE.
The Executive Committee having
authorized its chairman to call for a
popular subscription to enable the
committee to carry on its work, would
urge upon every friend of the movement
the duty and necessity of responding
promptly and liberally to the
call. Money is necessary for the
legitimate purposes of this cause, and
if the amount needed is promptly
placed at the command of (he committee,
I feel assured that our success
will be made eertain.
As the benefits to result from this
success will be realized by all, each
should cheerfully contribute.
I have this day addressed a letter to
the member of the Executive Committea
of each couJty in the State, authorizing
the collection of this fund,
and requesting notice tberaof in thc'r
respettire counties.
Contributions in this county may be
made to R. H. Jennings, Winn6boro,

DEATH OF HK. L. T. JAMES
Mr. Editor: I write this to inform
you of the death of L. T. James, an
0ldcitiz2n of your county, win passed
away at bis home,- Gunnison, Miss.,
April 30th.
Judging trom the universal esieeni
and affection with which he was regarded
by all in thi3 community, I
should think there would be many in
his old home who are interested in hi?
career, and will read of bis death with
sad hearts; especially his comrades
who served with him in the list war.
He felt a deep interost in his old
home, and always read The News and
Herald carefully. "Wife give me
my letter from homV was usually
the way he asked for his paper.
As a boy, he was a member of the
Fairfield Rifles. At the first call for
troop3 be enlisted with the 1st 5. (J.
Volunteers, served with them six
months, and then joined the 12th,
Maxcy Gregg, Colonel. He saw the

in steady servicc (though severely
wounded, from which he suffered
up to his death,) and was made
prisoner at Apparaaltor and sent to
Harts Island.
After the war he came to Mississippi,
located in Bolivar, where he lived,
beloved by all who knew him.

and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unles the inflammation

AN OLD MASS SENTIMENTS.
;Twa8 011 a cold December night
In eighteen fifty-nine,
With ruby lips and eyes so bright,
Vnn nrnmicpfl fn be mine.
Oh. bow my heart did leap for joy?For
yon were then eighteen?
And I, a g03ling-beardless boy,
Just twenty years had seen.
I hope you'll think it not amiss
If I just here should say,
We sealed onr bargaiu witb a kis5;
For that's the old time way.
The night was clear, the moon thone :
bright,
I had fife miies to go;
But what of tbat? my step was light,
I felt so gocd, my oh!
'Tis eight and thirty years ago
Just now, this very day,
Since we were married, as ou kr.ow,
The seventeenth of May.
Since then we've wa'ked life's rugged
way
Together hand in hand,
Oar cup's been mixed from day to day
By God's divine command.
Through shine and shadow you Lave
been
A help-meet good and trno;
All this the Master's eyes hath seen,
A crown He'll keep for you.
W c're now deecandiug life's decline,
The valley's ju3t in sight,
Bat God will on our pathway shit.e,
"At evening 'twill be light."
And when we've crosscd beyond the
stream,
And gained the shining shore,
How short this life's dav then will
seem
In which the cross we bore.

following resolutions:
Whereas, we do not deem it wiso or '
politic to suggest a ticket for the i
General Assembly from this county,
to be voted for in the primary e'ection,
as it might have the etfe?t of ,
debarring some Democrat, who be
? * ? ln/y'olofiAn
lieveti 1U (JlVIMVlMSi jr itgioiauuiii uvuj i
running in the primaries; and, whereas,
it is essential that the Legislature
be in sympathy with prohibition, in
order that a phohibitory law may be
enacted. Therefore be it resoived:
1. That th8 county chairman of the ]
Prohibitionists be and he i? hereby in- j
structed to interrogate each candidate j
for the House of Representatives from J
Fairfleld County, as to his position and J
sentiments on the subject of the enactment
of a prohibitory law by the next
| General Assembly.
2. That one month before the next
primary election, said chairman publish
the names of all candidates who
have expressed themselves in favor of
such prohibitory legislation.
3. That all Prohibitionists of the i
county be urged to vote only for such 1
candidates a<3 shall pledge themselves
to rote for the enactment of a pro- i
hibitory law by tlio Rext General Assembly.
After remarks by Mr. McDonald,
Rev. II. K. Kzell, R. H. Jennings and
others, the above resolutions were

Committee of tho Prohibitionists
of Fairfield County
2. That the Executive Committee
shall have full charge of the campaign
in Fairfield County, and that they be
directed to use such measures as they
sha;l deem whe and prudent cor the
nomination of the State ticket suggested
by the prohibition convention
held recently in Columbia, and also
for the nomination of members of the
Legislature from this county as shall
favor the enactment of a prohibitory
law by the next Legislature.
3. That this committee select its own

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really mare than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If
the liver be inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach be disordered,
yon have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys be affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and vou
will surely have good looks. "Electric
Bitters" is a. good Alterative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach,
liver and kidneys, purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at McMaster
