Six long trains loaded with .soldiers
of the 3rd regular cavalry, and their
equipments passed through Winnsboro
Thursday afternoon and night.
This is one of the regiments that saw
hard ser?ice before Santiago and
everybody was anxious for a glimpse
of the battle scarred veterans as they
nassed through. Nearlv all of the
JT ?
trains passed this point late in the
afternoon or at night, and a great
many people were disappointed.
Some young ladies who were at tbe
tank when one of the trains stopped
for water came home with a liberal
supply of trophies in the shape of
buttons, bullets, palm leaves, hard
tack, etc.
Several trooo trains passed through
Friday, haviDg on board tho 2.id Cavalry.

TWO STORIES.
One a Snake and the Other Lightning.
A few days ago 3Jr. J. A. Balentine,
Sr., had bis dog with him in a field
near his house, aact the aog ran unaer
some bushes, but soon retreated hollering
as he ran. The next day Mr.
.Ballentine noticed that the dog's head
was very much swollen. lie went up
"to the field, aud finally found that his
dog had been bitten by a snake. H?
succeeded in killing the snake which
proved to be,a rattle.
A JigDimng siory uuiu?s% iu us
through Dr. B. J. Quattlebaum. At a
, picnic just across the Richland line,
below Blytbewood, a storm came up
I with a great deal of lightning and
thunder. A. horse was hitched to a
| baggy near a tree and a small dog
I .lyins under the horse. The lightning
! struck the tree, jumped to the buggy
I stiaft, shocked the dog considerably,
I and did not affect the horse at all.

Amount of Cotton Destroyed.
The fire alarm was sounded Tuesday
morniDg sbout 12 o'clock. It was
found npon investigation that the '
kitchen adjoining Prof. W. II. Withe- (
row's residence was on fire. The
flames were quickly extinguished w itb ]
vei-y little damage to the building.
ANOTHER FIKE.
Another alarm was sounded on t
Wednefdav morning at about 12.30 I'
o'clock. This time ic was found that |
the large brick warehouse just nortn
of the freight depot, in which was <
stored about 500 bales of cotton, was
on fire. Bota engines responded to
the call, but could not do much at first
toward checking the flame3. Three
streams oi water were kept on the
building for four or five hours before
the flames were gotten trader control.
The fire department did good work
and is to be cemphmented. Th3 losses
were pretty heavy, but were covered
hy insurance.
Mr. CT. G. DesPortes lost 1G2 bales
of cotton, wholly or partly burned.
Insured for $4,000.

Mr. H- L. Elliott was the next heav- J
iest loser?1'3 bales; insurance $2,000.
Mr. W. B Jreight sustained a loss *
of four baloc and a damage of about *
$100 to ;:Lc v irehouse. No insurance 1
on either. '
Fairfield Cotton Mills lost 24 bales, (
but the loss is fully covered by insur- '
ance. ]

For a long, slow and stubborn fire
nothing surpasses a cotton fire. At 1
onetime on "Wednesday, it was found w
that the eastern side of the warehouse
had caught, but fortunately plenty of
help was on hand and no damage was i
do*e to the house or cotton in that
part of Ihe warehsuse. A solid wall
divides the warehouse, and this prevented
the fire on Wednesday morn- ^
ing from spreading.
The fire is supposed to have origi- i

held ia the court house Friday, and '
everything passed off quietly. The 1
attendance was good, out at no time ]
luring the meeting was it found s
accessary to hang out the "standing ]
room only" sign. The candidates seem
to be conducting the campaign on a i
btigh plane. Their speeches were ]
characterized by a refreshing freedom i
from personalities, abuse, and reckless \
mud slinging. 1
Shortly after 11 o'clock Chairman 1
r. II. Ketchin called the meetibg to
arder and requested the audience to
accord cach of the candidates a quiet
and respectful hearing. He then introduced
as the first speaker*
HON. W. J. JOHNSON*,
a. candidate for the Legislature. Mr.
JohDson said that greater economy in
the administration of the State government
and the liqaor question are
vital issues of (I13 campaign. He
favors the payiDg of liberal salaries,
but thinks there is a tendency toward
o-rfravaoin thft State offices. !
Clerk? ard employed to do work that ?
oonld and ought be done by the officers i
themselves. Liberal appropriations
should be made for the State institutions
of learning now in existence, but i
Clemson College he thinks is being run i
on too extravagant a scale. This col- !
lege gets 8115,000 from all sources or
one-eighth of the entire appropriation i
for educational purposes. He had 1
always voted prohibition, but didn't :
think it a practical solution of the
liquor question. The dispensary law s
properly' enforced is unquestionably
the best law that can be enacted for :
the regulation of the sale of liquor.
MR. C. S. FORD,
a candidate for legislative honors, was
the next speaker. lie said he was
glad to meet the Winnsboro people as
a candidate. "I am a Democrat," he
said, "but not the David B. Hill kind." <
He believes in the democracy that
recognizes the will of the people. He
believes in reform and retrenchment,
the reduction of salaries, and the abolishing
of useless offices. Salaries
should be proportionate to the purchasing
power of money. The Legis
lature should nveet every tyro years
instead of annually as at present*
Some of the Stale colleges are too extravagant.
Only well educated ooys
and girls can secure scholarships. Th?*
college ought not to be palled down
but common schools should be built
up. Mr. Ford is an out-and-out prohibitionist.
He advanced strong arguments
in support of his position, and
qaoted freely from the Bible. The
tendency of the dispsnsary is to perpetuate
the sale of whiskey.
ME. JOHN G. MOBLEY
was next introduced. 3Jr. Mobley
said that he believed the farmers knesr
exactly whom they wanted to represent
them in the Legislature, and they
were not going to allow themselves to
be fooled or befuddled by anybody.

abolished at present. It should be
allowed to exist until the county is in a
better condition. The people are in
such a condition of financial exhaustion
that they cannot allord to have
this svstem of credit swept away just
at present. The day, be hepes, will
come when when people will not be
dependent upon liens.

State banks of issue are necessary to
the solution of the money question.
The people are made slaves by the
cold, money loving Yankee gsniblers.
He believes in placing education within
reach of aimers' sons.
He is a j.i &ci.ical prohibitionist, but
could not agree with those who believe
it fehould be attempted in this
State. The dispensarv system if
properly conducted is the correct oi:e.
HON. JOHNG. WOLL2XG,
a candidate for re-e'eciiontothe house,
spoke next. He promised during the
campaign two years ago to serve his
constituents faithfully and his record
is onen to inspection. The taxes, he
said, had been lowered simply to
make it appear that the government
was being administered more economically,
while as a matter of fact
there was a large anuual deficit. He
realized, as a business man, that the
county must get out of debt, and all of
his efforts were employed in that di
rection. The whole debt of a?out
SSO.OOO will [be liquidated by end of
fiscal year cf 1893. He favored education
of the masses and tbe maintenance
of the institutions of higher education.
Clemson, he thinks, is setting
too much money. All of it, however,
comes from indirect ?tax. Prohibition
is not practi :ab!e. lie thinks $100,0001
of dispensary promts should be added!

Fhosc in charge of the school ac- j
knowledge that they can run it on
[ess. Daring closing hours of la-t
session he advocated giving half of
privelege tax to Clemson and half to j
Winthrop. He doesn't believe in the !
use of intoxicants but doesn't think!
prohibition can be enforced satisfac-1
torily. Since decision of LI. S. Court j
the dispensary law can be put on the
best possiole basis and practical prohibition
will soon follow.
MR. JOHX B. MORRISON",
who is making the rac^ for the house J
was the next sneaker. He won Id i
make no rash promises and would [
guarantee no reforms. All be would I
promise is to Jo his best for the people !
who eiectcd him. All of his oppo-1
nents had spoken of (I13 dispensary!
law but none of them had been very
plain on the subject. They talked of
what the dispensary could be if proper- j
ly enforced bat they didn't refer to |
the corrupt mancer in which it is ran. j
People generally and particularly the
candidates know that the men eiected
to office are the ones backed by dispensary
influence.- If elected he
would vote for a general cleaning oat j
of the dispensary from top to bottom i
[n this county, and in the S:ate. Mr. j
Marrieon said in ^answer to a question |
ihat he did not believe in the nse ofj
intoxicants, bat could not favor a pro-'
hibitory law. There is no such thing j
as absolute prohibition.
E. P.. KAGSDALE, ESQ.,
a, candidate for the house, followed |
Mr. Morrison. The hour was grow- i
ing late and the audience restless; so!
he would not make a long speech. !
- ? . !
Heretofore ueitucr men nor measures i
were considered, but simply the way !
a man voted in 1390. Now this was |
not the case. Factional lines are ob-;
llteratcd. He desired to stand simply ;
on bis merits. Ou the subject of the 1
dispensary law he wished to >p?ak j
plainly. There has been less drunken-'
ness since . the law went into effect, i
and if properly managed it would be !
a good thing. The open corruption j
mast be stopped. The members of j
the State board of control are fighting:
for the chairmanship, in other words;
