Henry Bacot, the negro who stole

The Rey. Senator Dublin Walker,
the School Certificate forger, passed
up on the train Thursday from the
penitentiary. His sentence has
been commuted by the governor
from the penitentiary to the Chester
jail.
Judge Mackey, A. S. Wallace,
Senator White, oleven, of the jurors
who convicted him, besides soveral
hundred citizens signed Dub. Walk

something and holds the ace.- If
such he the case we hope Dub will

Remember that the Fair is held

It is estimated that 'the cotton

be about 325,000 bales, against
400,00OMast year', and yet that the
entire crop will be 3,800,000 last
against $3,750,000 last year. This
will be bad news to the Carolina
farmers. We givo the estimate for
its worth.
If these festivities contitme, verily
we shall become a regular Jebkiits.

Fraz..-Mr. John A. Weldon's gin
house and sixteen bales of cotton
were destroyed by fire Wednesday
night.: Mit Weldon had left the gin
house only about one hour previous
to tho'discovery of the fire. He says
he examined it thoroughly, as he
generally does, and found everything
right. In connection with the gin
was a mill, both run by water, and
had been built only a short time.
Mr. Weldon's loss will reach $2,000.
Whether the fire was the work of an
incendiary or was accidental, we are
unable to say.
"Agricultural Chemistry" as a
seionce exists only in the imagina
tion of those who are not acquainted
with the subject. Chemistry is a
science, Agriculture an art ; and
that which is commonly termed
"agricultural chemistry" can only
mean a selection of those few results
of chemistry of which the agricul
turist may advantageously avail him.
self. We might with equal justice
speak of "Chemical Tannery" or
"Coloring Chemistry," because some
isolated result of the science might
be of service to the Tanner or
Dyer. 1
THE F.MILY ISITO.--The onter.
prising proprietor of that sterling
paper the Yorkville Enquirer, pro
poss to publish a now family story
paper entitled The Family Visitor,
from whose columns everything of a
local character will be excluded.
The first issue will be made January
1st. It will be published pi weekly
at the low price of $1.50 par annum.
Mr. Grist has the tasto and ability
to make this new paper very ac
coptablo. We commend both the
Enquirer, and Thec Family Visitor
to the reader.
We attended the recelption given
by Mr. & Mrs. J. Obear on Tues
day in honor of the marriage of:
their son. It was most pleasant.
Mr. & Mrs. J. M. Birawley, Missi
Hemnphill, Miss Adams and Miss
Pickette Myers came down on the
train. We have not time to give
the details of this pleasant merry
making, and we are also sugering
somewvhat from brain fag after our
immense repmortorial on'ort on
Tuesday. Tuesday-night the band
serenaded the happy couple, and
wer-e invited in to partake of ro
freshments.
On Wednesflay night there was
a complimentary "hop" at the TheE-~
pian Hall, of which more hereafter.
A Geological Survey discov
bred year-s ago a dyke of great in
terest on the estate of the late E.
IG. Pahlmer. Imbedded ini this dyke
are angular fragments of hornblende
anid slate of various sizes. The roe'k:
resemblles a coarse broccia which
wvould prove a beatifitl ornafudantal
building material. On the sameo
plantation there is a highly fissile
mica slate having the plades of
stratification so even at to leave the
surface quite smooth and 'vould be
valuable as flagging stones for
cities. These facts are particularly
interesting to ou~r e'tterprlsihg

The same platttation abounds
with an abundance of the fineht

In a recent issue we stated upon
information that we doomed reliable:
that Mr. Samuel Murphy, had re
ported at Chester, that a terrible
riot occurred in Winusboro, on the
day that Howe's Circus exhibited
here, and that he saw the bodies of
seven negroes who were shot down
in the riot. Mr. Murphy has ad
dressed us a communication deny
ing that he is the author of the false
report reforred to, but admitting
that he did state that he witnessed a
riotous disturbance of the peace
while the circus was here. Being
satisfied that Mr. Murphy did not
intend to misrepresent the facts in
this matter, as we are assured by
prominent citizens of Chester that
he is a highly worthy and truthful
Bian, we cheerfully make the amenile
honorable.
What Joe has to say about our
recent local:
Williams, of the Winnsborg Npwm,
is following tlhe footsteps of Buchan
an, of the Chester .Reporter, who is
struggling for the laurels won by
rhymes. He had a "rassel" with the
Muses day before yesterday, and the
following inspired lines testify that
he flung her. Enumerating the at
tractions of the Centennial Uity, lie
says she has
"Railroads and busses and backs,
Corn whiskey that don't pay the tax,
And Joseph Caldwell,
Who's a bully young swell,
11 ith a keen eye,you bet, forpinbacka."
When Williams is told. that we
have recently been kicked, and that
we have "jined mit der temperance,"
lie will see how mal apropos it is to
connect our name with "busses" and
'pin backs,' and with corn whiskey.
Such references as these cause us to
recall our happier days and to
realize the more fully our present
miserable condition. Let's talk
about something else.
THE LsoTUn.-Quite a good audi
once assembled at the Thespian Hall
on Thursday night to hear the lee
tare delivered by Major S. P. Ham
ilton, in aid of the Monumental As.
sociation. The speaker commenced
by stating the object of the lecture,
and eulogized the women, and al
luded to the present status of the
enterprise as a pride to the ladies
and a shame to the men. He then
dwelt upon the late war and narrated
soveral anecdotes, amusing and
pathetic- We will not give a further
synopsis of the lecture which was
attentively listened to and frequent
ly applauded. The proceeds of the
lecture were betwveen forty and fifty
dollars. Major Hamilton went to
Ridgeway Friday to deliver his lec
ture before the Rlidgeway Libraiy
Association at their invitation. He
proposes making a tour of the State;
and we bespeak both for himself and
the noble cause he advocates, the
attention of the public.
Major S. P. Hamilton delivered
his lecture in behalf of the Monu
mental Association before the Ridge
wvay Library Association on Friday
night. Although a notice of only a
fewv hors was givefi, our wide
awake sister city collected a good
atdience. The lecturer was intro
duced by Col. H. C. Davis, president
of the association. The lecturer
was frequeiitly applaiidad; and was
also the recipielit of several bou
quets. After thu ldcture wvas con
cluded, Captz W. R. Marshall zhoved
the thanks of the association for the
lecture in a very haindsomo address;
which was eloquently respohded to
by Major Hamilton. About twenty
dollars was realized; but the amoumt
would have been greater had due
notice been extended. Major Ham
ilton was the guest of R. S Des.
portes, Esq. He wvas qiuite pleased
with his visit to Ridgeway. .Ridge'i
way is a push ahead place, full of
vim and pluck.
EcidTIzERN CULTiVATo.-This old
and reliable friend of the farmer
pursues the even tenor of its way,
striving earnestly and honestly to
assist him during these hard and
trying times. It advocates progress
only when it pays. There is noth
ing of the fancy or sensational about
it. Solid, practical, suggestive, it is
just what real working farmers need.
The very large number of inquiries
presented by thein' each month, to
be answered by the editor or lr
correspondents, shows plainly their
