And still it rains is the cry all over the county. Our town was visite od by a regular "trash mover' Tues. day night, which did more damage than good. Mr. V. M. Mason killed forty.. three snakes a few days ago whilo cleaning up a small piece of low ground. It must have been a good day for snakes. Reports from Columbia state that Niles G. Parker left that place on the Augusta train the night after he was bailed. Ie will probably be seen no more. His bail bond, it is said, is not worth the paper on which it is written. Quite a lively fight occurred on the street Saturday night between Sip Wolfe, Aus Ross and Center Gibson. Politics was the caus of the difficult, and the only damage was the enlargement of Centers nose and upper lip. Representative Joseph Thompson will accept our thanks for a mess of fine sweet potatoes, the finest we have seen this season. Alfred Lee also, has our thanks for a first-class water-melon. An interesting little skirmish took place opposite our office Thursday, botween two of our young townsmen, Fortunately they were separated be fore any blood was spilt. Alderman Gerig charged them only one dollar a piece for their little sport. Letter-heads, bill-beads, conmmr cial .nggs, dodlgers, progra mmes, post. era, &o., neatly printed at tbis office. We have thle best press made, besides new material and first-class worls men ; consequently we are prepared to do number one work at a low pric for cash. Give us a trial. The bowling alley is closed for the season. Base ball is now growing into favor. The Dauntless club are ? doing floe playing and have ordered a complete uniform from New York. They are anxious to test their prowess in a game with any club in the neighboring counties. Three now stores are being erected iln our town. One by Mr. J. O. Boag, one by Dr. D. Lauderdale and one by 'ir. Sami. Catheart. Tihe build ing up of these vacant lots is an evidence of our prosperity. And We earnestly hope it will continue until not a vestige of the work of Bher man's bummers can be seen. Cour TnaE.--Tallabaee boasts of a cork tree twenty feet high. Winnsboro sees that tree and goes three feet better. Col. ion has four trees in his yard, one of which is twenty-three feet high, all from acorns planted in 1860. He brings to our office a pice of the bark one inch thick, which is veritable cork. Wyatt MeMaster and John Rochel'e were again before aldlerman Goerg for raising a disturbance on the street Tuesday. Wyatt was fined two dollars or twelve hours in the guard ho~uso. John was flnod five dlollarsi or twenty-four hours in the guard house. John paid his fine, but Wyatt pre ferred to serve out his tim, in the cale boose. The Pendleton depot, on the An derson branch of the Greenville Railroad, was entered by thieves on * Monday night last. A trunk belong.. ing to Col. James II. Rion, of our town, was broken open and robbed of its contents, valued at about two hundred dollars. hlorses and buggies were in great domand Friday, and mules wore prt-ssed into service, owinj to the fact that J large tournament Oamo off at Mlajor Woodwards will. Mlr. Wm. MoCants won the first prise, Mr. Frank. Noil, the second, and Mr. R. L. loke, the third. Full particulars will be given in our neat. We understand that quito an in toresting operation in the removal of a cancerous tongue was performed in town yesterday by Dr. Darby of Now York, assisted by Dre. Robert son, Aiken, Madden and Ladd of our town, upon a lady living in the county. We are not authorized or informed sufficiently to give full particulars, but understand the operation was very suceesefully per. formed, and that the patient is do ing well. Ex-Sheriff Duvall has returned from the mountains of Georgia, whore he has been ruralizing for some time, The ox-Sheriff's health seems to have been henefited by his sojourn in that good old democratio State. He returned to Winnsboro on the day of the precinct meeting, and was a very lively corpse at his own wake. Three suspicious looking negroes passed down the railroad Sunday afternoon, and some one who wanted to get up a little excitement, got out a report that they were the fellow who broke into Mr. Desportes' store last Saturday morning. lors's mules, Winebestor rifles and six shooters were quickly brought into requisitio- . The negroes were followed t-nd over taken, but proved to be some rail. road hands quietly returning to their I omes. Last Saturday morning a "oreltun" (exoursion) train of col. ored people passed through this place for Charlotte to attend a camp meet ng. The colored brass band of our own, besides a host of men women and children embarked on the same train to help the Charlotte negroes 3n their way to that "bourne from whence no traveller returns," but it is the first time we have ever heard of a brass band being introduced into a camp meeting. A suspicious obaraoter was run out of Mr. Terrill's livery stable Saturday night. We hope our police will keep i striot watoh on these loafing stran. gers. If caught prowling around it unusual hours of the night they sh'ould be taken charge of and be made to give an account of them.. selves before the Mayor next morning. T hero are entirely too many strangers loafing through the country without any visible means of support and it is the duty of every good 3itizen to see that they are run off. The nominating convention met on Monday, but the confusion was so great that it adjourned until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. At the ap pointed hour the convention met in the Court House, but had not trabs.. ucted any business before the room was filled with outsiders. The .Ruff delegates then with :rew from the Dourt House in a body and proceed ad to Barber's Hall where they sominated Mr. Ruff and then ad eanrned. The adherents of Masers. Gooding ind MoCarley remained in possession of the Court House, and elected Alfred Moore Chairman. A fter eon siderable discussion and talking, Mr. Sooding withdrew from ithoecanvass. MJr. J. D. McCarloy was then nomi 2ated. Both parties claim the regular aemination and charge their oppo nents with fraud. A CARD. Cmn nLE~SToN, S- C., A ug. 13th 1875. To thec Merchants of Winnsb~oro: O ENTrLEMEN : To my old friends, and customers it is scarcely neces mary to speak through the public prints, except to call attention to my announcoeent for the Fall trade whuich appears in another column of this paper. But to thoso to whenm I am unknown I would morely remark that my house was established in 1837 and I have personally carried on thme business successful ly for twenty- three years. I am fully acquainted with the market of supply, as well as with the wants of m~y eustomers, and I am therefore prec~ared to fil11 bills at prices which will prove remunerative to my patrons, Yours respectfully, WVM M. wEBmn *' The store of blr. U. U. Desporto was entored Saturday morning about three o'clock by burglars; and one o his money drawers, eooides a siIvJ watch and pistol taken therdfrom TV scound: es not being satisflec with their first haul again entered th store and attemptid to force open ai alarm till which awakened Mr. Doe portes, who was sleeping in the store He immediately seized a pistol am fired upon the burglare,,.who roturne the fire, and managed to escape with oqt being wounded, so far as known It scows that there were three o thom connected with the burglary all negroes. They escaped .up the rail road in the direction of Chester. Mr Desportes and Chief of police Murphj followed them to Chester, where : regular street Ifight ocorec at night between the burglar, and chief Murphey of this place assisted by the Cheste1 police, the burglars making thou eoapo. This is one of the most dar ing burglaries that line ever ocoured in this town. Mr. Desportes, loss ii very small but he will give $200 dol lars reward for the apprehension of the thieves. The great muscular power of in sects is well known. A fiea can jump several hundred times it own length and other insects hourly perform feats that put the most active athletes to shame. An experiment was tried the other night to test the power of a beetle. A gentleman caught one of the ordinary black beetles whose buzzing flight in a room at night bas often brought.down the impreca tious of the irreverent, and, placing the loop of a pair of soissors on the hump of its back, reting the point Du the ground, piled up books on this extemporized sled and un the back of the beetle. The beetle manfully atrupled to extricate itsolf from the burden, and actually moved the whole load a distaneo of several inches before he freed himself. The books wore then weighed, and tipped the ballance agsix pounds. The beetle weighed about an oance. Ho therefore lifted and moved nine ty a-ix times his own wdight, which- is equivalent to the lifting of fourteen thousand four hundred pounds by a man weighing a hundred and fifty. Another beetle somewhat smaller moved four and a half pounds. It beetles would only grow as large as oxon, where would Keeley's motor be 1 TOURNAMINT OF THE SABRE CfUB. -The F'airfield Sabre Club, Capt. T. R. Robertson in command, hold a tournamenton Friday last at Mlajor Woodward's mill. At ten o'clock the sabre club, 84 strong, formed in Ciont of the Court House, and preced ed by the Citizens Cornet Bandl in a wagon marched out to the field. There was a general turnout of oiti.. iens both from town and the sur rounding country. The livery sta, bles were cleared of stock and the procession of outsiders reminded one of "Mr. Wheeler's critter company" at the close of the war, when mules usurped the place of horses. Be sides the usual complement of earl riages and buggies, a wagon furnished by H. T.:Terrill Eaq.,earried out a full load of ladies and gentlemen. After preliminary evolations the bilting bdegan at twelve o'clock. The abjects were, in order, head, ring, head, ring, head, t be heads requiring i different kind of out each. As each iabreu~r rode gallantly through lhe had hie sympathy of his reqpctive coterie. r'ho riding was creditable for the irst attempt, and showed that there is plenty of stuff in the olub with practice to make~efficient swordsmen. At the cnd of the third round the sabreurs formed and marched to the judges' stand, when the follow ing prizes were awarded. Wmn. McCants, first prize, 26 points, a silver cup. F., A. Neal, sconi prize, 23 points, bridle. R. L. Ioke, third prize, 22 points, spurs, P'rivate Camnak, for the smallest number of points, received a coffeet pot, which ho aecepted very gr'ac fully, a.fter thme tournament was ended th6 party proceeded to theo grove near the mnill house, where a bountiful re past was 5pread. Diner hiavinag been finished, the persons present amused thiemselves with dancing, music and conversation. Trhe waning sun at last dispersed thie party after a very pleasant day.
