Nevill in the Feasterville section was totally destroyed by fire. The fire started in the kitchen and was most probably the work of an incendiary. Mr. Nevill succeeded in saving some of his furniture and. personal effects y . the house was entirely destroyed. There wus no insurance on the property and the loss is estimated at about fire hundred dollars. Circumstances poiut strongly to Hughes Boulware, a negro, as the incendiary. Boulware was arrested aud given a preliminary hearing by Magistrate H. A. Stevenson.

Beaw the You Have Always Bought BATESBURG CAN'T PJLAY. Ever since the present baseball season opened the manager of the Winns boro team L&s been making every effort to arrange a game of ball with the Batesburg team, but he has been systematically unsuccessful and there is no possible chance of a meetiDg between these teams before next summer. The local players aud their friends the "cranks" .have been dreaming fondly of the hour when they should u*eet ftM ritrcle "R<?t.#>fihnrorers. J tU^il VtU i&l VMV , again and give them some points in bali tossing. Bat all these dreams have vanished, all their cherished hopes gone glimmering, because the Batesburg team has gone out of commission. To say that our boys arebitterly, grievo*sly disappointed is but a mild expression of the condition of their feelings. For three long months they have I been pining for a game with Bateshnrtr. tioot that there is nracticaDv i no prospect of their hopes being rea' lizsd they arc crashed. [ The members of the- Winusboro team realise that their friends have some very good reasons for not coming bat they say that the Batesburg men ought to make a special effort to meet them at least once this season or haul down their colors. The agony sbould not be prolonged. MAJOR E. M. BLYTHE. Editor Xms and Herald: I The youhgest aspirant for political I honors in the present campaign is, perhaps, Major Edseworth M. Blythe, who is a candidate for the office of Adjutant and Inspector General, bnt his lack of years (if that be argued as an objection to him) is more than counter-balanced by his extensive experience in military matters. 2Major Blyihe is a native of Greenville.

The last meeting of the couDtv cam paign took place here yesterday. From a wsgon the various candidates put forth their claims for office and one oiSce-boMer was honest enough to say he "wished that nasty, btinking word rotation was blotted out of the English language for he didn't believe in it." After the spoakiug hash, soup and bread were served to a hungry crowd of 300 to 400. The meeting was a very * harmonious *ne, and "ach speaker got an attentive hearing.

For the last few weeks we have beeu able to take a wider observation of the crops of this immediate section and can truthfully say in regard to the cotton crop that it is for interior to the crop of last year. While there are some farms that are equally a? good as any crop prior to this, there are some that will not average . fourth ox a crop. Therefore we may estimate the cotton croo of this section at ode half. The hot winds of two or three weeks ago were very destructive s.o Hie cotton, causing it to throw off a great deal of forms. The com crop, I think, is some better than that of last year, especially on fresh lands. Othei crops doing well. pairs a t? and JoiiH MontS have jast closed a series of meetings at Zion il. E.

I want the oince Because i neeu iue money that the office will yield, and because under the circumstances I conscientiously belie?e I can perform, with credit to the county, (he duties of the office, and yet my ministerial work will not suffer, bat will rather be helped, as then my temporal support would be assured in a large measure and I could continue to preach for weak churches for wha* they are able to pay. Tf T r.an nerform the duties of this office I do not thiak I will be any more "stepping down from my high calling as a preacher' than to engage in farming, teaching school, editing a newspaper or taking a professorship in some college, as many are doing in connection with their work as preachers. I am also honest in another conviction, and that is, that I can carry forward the public schools of the county to greater efficiency thaa that to which they have hitherto attained. I am fniiv nfirsnadftd that in some sections, at least, there is much room for improvement. The public school fuDd has been greatly increased in the last two or three years. "With this improved condition of ihe treasury should come steady advance along all lines of public school interests, and if I am elected I shall do my best to make such advancement. I am assured that it will take work, bard work, but I have never known inything else but hard work, and do not expect anything for the future but to work.

Mr. Editor: Piease allow me space j in your columns to reply to some i statements and insinuations made' against my official~record by Candi- i date ID, L. Stevenson, at the cam-j *Tr? L ! paign meeting id wicnsuuru. u unc t dislike to appear in print I think it dne^ myself, a;? well as my former constituents, to answer those charges and show that my official record is clean and above reproach. No one I cau trntbfnlly say that I was guiltyj of any misdemeanor or lraudalent { act, and the intelligent and fair- i minded people of Fairfield would lose J their respect for me if T tamely sub-1 milieu V) lUOi; awuaauuus. jjh-ij i man who loves ii-uth auii honor can I appreciate my position, and the language of the immortal Shakespsre, when be says that '-He who steal's my purse, steals trash, 'twas mine, 'tis iis, and has been slave to thousands;; but he who filches frcm me my good name takes that which naught enricbeth him, bat leaves me poor iude d." He stated that I gave Miss Isadora j Mills, a colored teacher, $30 per month. In reply. I say that this statement was misleading, because under the~ school laws of this State, I couldn't give her one dollar. Mr. S. C. Duke (now deceased) and Mr. W. Bris. Hogan, both honorable gentlemen and school trustees of JNo. C employed her and specified the salary, as they had a right t6 do, and I Lad no grounds to refuse to approve the claims, as she held a first grade certificate, and that was the u*ual salary for teachers holding that grade. If the trustees and patrons preferred a first class teacher, instead of a third rate one, it was all right, though the term would be shorter. They no doubt acted on the principle, "that the best is the cheapest.' To substantiate what I have written, I quote from page 21, Sec. 44 of "The School Law." Sec. 44. The Board of Trnstees shall also have authority, and it shall be their buty: 1st, To provide suitable school houses in their districts, and to make the sa ne comfortable, paviDg due regard to aoy school house alroa/itr HnJif". fir she nrocured, as well as to ail other circumstances proper to be considered, so as be*t to promote the educational interests gof their district. 2d. lo employ teachers from those having certificetes from their County Board of Examiners, or from the State Board of Education, and fix their salaries, and to discharge the same when good and sufficient reasons | for so doing present themselves, sub- J ject to the supervision of the Ccunty Board ef Education. As to the appointment of a colored man as trustee, I 'ian't see anything criminal 111 mat, especially v,** ^ win | anggestcd bj- Mr. Ilogan bccansej there was a large colored population j in that' district, and several large colored schools. Besides, a precedent j was furnished in the administration) of my predecessor, the lameutedDuke. j According to a letter received from I the State Superintendent cf iiduca- !

Woodward, as well as all those 1 members who were opposed to the \ investigating of the corruption that 1 was charged against the dispensary. , It is st range that the sample basi- ' ness of t?:e dispensary dees not startle the consciences o? onr people. Jt is ; lamentably true tba: some still live J who like Carpet "Bag John Patterson 1 would welcome the days of good steal- '' ing and the question is, does the num- J ber of such people diminish or, from influences at work are they on the 1 ir!/%wir,c-i Wit of wnnM n. merchant say ol' a clerk who without permission ! j "voulc" systematically us? or sell the ;1 samples "of groceries or dry goods ' which were sent to hi3 store. He would say the clerk was a .hief. ! Now itis different in respect e> ^raples j of whiskey? These samples, which j go in iarsrc quantities, either belong to the Suite; in which case, they ' should be disposed of jast as other State liquors are; or belong to the ftnawS of Control, in which case it is i clearly bribery. Giving of gifts is , bribery, whether oaiog in the shape of money, diamond studs, free railroad passes, express franks, or whis- i key. Is the conscience of the people 1 of this State dead as to this truth? * That these mean^; have been used from : the first establishment of the dispen- : sary is doubted by very few. The ? very first purchase, made through a Charleston firm, is said to be a glaring ( instance. The same whiskey that had i been retailed by that firm at $1.90 per gallon being sold to the State by the . 100 barrels at $2.25 per gallon. If this ; is so, what became ot tne no cts. per gallon margin? During the senatorial race of Earle i and Evan3 large quantities of whiskey were used in electioneering for Evans by the dispensaries throughout the State. Then, it was thought this liquor would be charged to breakage. It is possible that much of it may have been sample whiskey which" is said 10 be often used in the home5 ?f ] State officials. It i* said al^o '<> have ; been use-i at dinners at hotel* and eisewnere, on lesiice occasions at ! which sacriligious toasts were baudi'2<J i around. I believe that the dispensary, if honest!? conducted, is far better than the siloon bur il is questionable if Innes: management is possible in , :he preseut condition of morals. Hiffh license with 'he restrictions now imposed on tbc dispensary is the only soluii*.?ii of the liquor question. Prohibition is a weak delusion and would debase the morals of a community more than the dispeusary at its worst. A minister of the gospel who had lived in many States said, that more liquor was consumed in I Portland. Maine, than in anv city in which he had ever lived, except on^, j and that was a mininp town. It is well known that the money, which in other States is paid as license to tte government, is paid as bribes in Maine to the officers of the iaw. There is no doubt that the moral tone of the peop'e of this Sutc has been greatly lowered within the last decade and many thinjrs have been donebv the legislature, and by officials in high stations in utter disregard of high and Dure sentiment. i>oinc years sgo me icgisiaiuic, wmw > is expected to be composed of honora-1 ble me-, enacted a law requiring all liquors, imported tor personal use, to be inspected, under pretense of ensuring its purity; \7l12n its acknowledged object was to annoy the owners ot such liquor and if possible rob them of if, which was actually done in all cases where parties were ignorant of their rights or too timid to assert them.
