wan's Missionary Society will take
place next Sunday evening in the Meth
odist* Church. In connection with the
other exercises of the occasion, there

Can This be True??The Barn well
People, of last week, says: "A Bam
berg subscriber informs us that Or?nge
burg fishermen have so completely ob
structed the Edisto with riets kept in
the river all the week round that ho
'shad-can get up as high as the railroad
bridge. Theres a good chance for a
Trial Justice to make himself useful by
breaking up the blockade which is so
selfish and unlawful." This is a seri- j
ous charere, and we hope it is a mistake.
What say our friends on Edisto below
the railroad bridge to the accusation.
Guilty or not guilty ?
OUR CnoiCE.?The young man who
knows how to lay off corn and cotton
rows and to regulate the distance of the
same so as to get the largest crops is
worth a cowpen full of nice, kid-gloved
fancy-overcoated fellows, who may
know how to lead the German or caper
around at a fashionable waltz. Siding
cotton, setting a plow just right and
adjusting gears so that shoulders and
back of horse will never hurt, are
?worth a thousand fold more to the
?country than knowing how to pase in
jH^arior, or to adjust the shade of the
?cravat to the complexion of the wearer.
Burmed to Death.?Maria Forrest,
?colored, who lived with her father,
Chas. Forrest, on the Old Charleston
Road about two miles below Orange
burg, was so severely burntlast Thurs
day that she died from its effects in
"twenty-four hours after it happened.
_She_was standing near a fire in the
Jleld when her clothes caught. Instead
?of trying to extinguish the tire, she ran
And screamed until every stitch of
?clothing was burned from her person.
Dr. W. C. Wannamaker was called in,
and done all he could to relieve the
suffering woman, but it availed noth
ing. _i
-A Candid Man.?A Fair field County
man has made the confession that he is
in some measure anxious to get inar
jied, and the Winnsboro News und
ITerald believes him to be the first An
glo-Saxon who has mado this admission
since m?ification times, and says that
if the young ladies have any desire to
encourage the habit of this honest and
8tKiightlorward statement of fact in
the opposite sex they will see to it that
this man is provided for. This requires
that some one be sacrificed it is true
but the victim will have the proud con
sciousness of knowing that she is a
martyr in a glorious cause.
The Edisto Hikles Picnic?The
annual picnic of the Edisto Rides "will
come off on May 1, at the usual place.
An excellent committee of arrange
?tats have got the matter in charge,

nis return be was much gratified to
find his patient better and" able to sit
up, but he complained of a terrible sore
.throat. On examination he found that
the patient had taken the linement and
jubbed with the veratrum.
A Xew Law.?The last Legislature
passed an Act giving trial justice courts
jurisdiction in agricultural lieu mat- \
ters where the amount claimed does
not exceed one hundred dollars. The
trial justice proceeds just us the clerk
did under the law as it was, that is he
issues a warrant upon an affidavit,
seizes and sellls the crop and applies
the proceeds thereof to the payment of
the debt secured by the lien, unless the
lienor shall claim that the amount
claimed is not justly due, in which case
an issue shall be made up and a trial
had between the parties. The jurisdic
tion of the trial justice is not exclusive,
but concurrent, and the clerk can still
issue his warrant for an amount.
Gkand Military Ball.?A grand
military ball will lie given at Fort
Motte on next Monday night for the
benefit of the Fort Motte Guards. The
money realized will be devoted to the
completion of the new armory of the
company, and it is to be hoped'that the
affair will net a handsome sum. as this
gallant corps is making a laudable ef
ort to complete their much needed
quarters. The following committees
have the matter in charge, and we feel
safe in saying that the ball will be one
of the most enjoyable affairs of lb" sea

Stop My Paper.--There are people
who will take a newspaper and read it
for years without paying anything for
it, and finally move away without even
notifying the publisher; or if dunned
he will refuse to take the paper out of
the postolliee. We have been served in
this way often. It a person is indebted
to us for subscription and desires to dis
continue the paper, remit the amount
due. If you propose to rob us of the
amount due, then write to usas follows :
"You have been fool enough to believe
that the writer was honest, and that
you could trust him for a dollar or two
without a waive note or mortgage. I
have taken your paper, read it, received
the benefit of your labor on account of
the error you have made in thinking
my name and character was worth that
amount. I believe I can swindle vou
and propose to try it. Discontinue "my
paper. You are at liberty to publish
this note for the benefit of my neigh
bors." Sign your full name and ad
dress, iind we will see what can be done,
d the result will be satisfactory.

An editor was attacked by a tramp
I the other day, and in crying out for
help was delighted to see a man run
i ning to the spot. The tramp, however,
j continued to maltreat the editor, while
: the stranger hovered near but failed to
, close in. 'Why don't you help me?' ex
; claimed the discomfited editor. 'Be
| cause 1 can't tell which of you is the
J tramp ami which ain't,' was the candid
j reply.
A rich old farmer, passing along the
! street the other day, advised his wife as
follows: 'Old lady, when you go to
: trade, steer clear of those stores that
; don't advertise in the papers. "When
you see a store tiiat does its advertising
on a board leaning upon the sidewalk
1 pass that store by. and go to one thai
j lias a respectable advertisement in v
I paper.' The'old lady' promised to obey
j Excellent advice.
; Yon may be able to get a large city
weekly, filled with murders, scanda
; eases, cock lights, etc., for the samt
? money that you pay for your loca
paper or less, but these city weeklies
never advertise your County and makt
! your property valuable. They do nol
help along your schools and churches
I they do n:>t publish your County news
' they say nothing of you and your towi
and have no interest in you. A loca
paper is a great advantage to any towi
or community. Stand by your homi
I paper, for it is ever on the lockout fo
I your interest.
Scarcity of Fisn.?From nearly ev
ery section of the State -we hear the
complaint of the scarcity of shad this
: season. It is thought that obstructions
in the shape of wire nets are placed
J in the lower parts of the different riv
ers to prevent the fish from coming up.
j If this is true, it is wrong and the par
ties doing it should be punished. The
, la^'s of the State are very explicit on
this point. Section 1669 provides that
"at no time of the year shall there be
' any permanent obstruction of any kind
1 or nature whatever, in any of the in
land creeks, streams or waters of the
? State." They also provide that from
, sunset. Thursday to sunrise Tuesday all
seines, nets, or other devices for stop
? ping or collecting fish shall be entirely
i removed from said streams. The pen
alty for violating this law is a fine of
, $200, half of which is to go to the in-'
) former and the remainder to the Coun
I ty, or imprisonment for a time not less
than three months nor more than six.
We all can see the importance of obey
ing: this law. The larger the number
of shad hatched out in the upper waters
of the Edisto River this Spring, the lar
ger the number that will run up next
year. For it is a well known fact that
migratory fish, by an unerring instinct
always return, unless prevented by
some obstacle, to the place at which
they were hatched. The man who is
selfish enough to place obstructions so
that no fish can pass them, not only
prevents his neighbor from enjoying
property to which he has an equal
right, but also destroys the source of
his own supply. We hope tose
whose duty it is to enforce this law
will see that it is not violated in the
Edisto.
Almost a Serious Fire.?Last
Tuesday morning a fire originated in
the picker room of Cornelson's factory,
and for a time it looked sis if the whole
factory was in danger of destruction,
but fortunately the admirable arrange
ments of Mr. Cornelson for meeting
just such an emergency, and the prompt-,
ness of Superintendent Rounds in put
ting them into operation, averted the
danger by checking the fire until the
fire department cauld get to work and
subdue it altogether. The fire origin
ated in one of the pickers and is sup
posed to have been caused by a match j
in the cotton. As we said, at one time
the outlook for a large fire was good,
and had it not been for the adthirable
management of Superintendent Rounds
we fear that this morning we would
have to chronicle the destruction of the
entire factory, which would have been
a great calamnity to this community,
as well as to the energetic and perse
vering proprietor. Mr. Cornelson's loss
is about 81,500, in addition to which
must be reckoned the loss of time occa
sioned by the stoppage of the mill.
A Thief Escapes.?The Summer
ville Herald say: "Peter Way, colored,
whom the authorities at Orangeburg
offered a reward for his capture for
stealing a horse from Mr. James Bell,
was arrested on Saturday last by two
colored men and brought to this town
tied to a horse. The novel scene attrac
ted considerable attention until the
prisoner was untied. Mr. Bell was
telegraphed to at Orangeburg and he
arrived on the 11.43 a. m. train. In his
haste to catch the train, Mr. Bell ne
glected to procure the necessary papers
to take Way on to Orangeburg, and in
consequence had to return for that pur
pose, leaving Way in charge of James
Gantt, one of Justice Perry's constables.
The prisoner complained of being tor
tured by the handcuffs and begged the
constanble to ease them for him so that
he could sleep. In the morning when
the 'constable awoke the prisoner was
gone. Mr. Bell returned on Sunday
armed with the law, but his man had
given all the slip. A guardhouse could
have prevented this carelessness."
A Model Girl.?The Greenville
I News speaks thus of a young lady from
that section: "Robert Yargin. a one
armed ex-Confederate soldier of Dial's
township, Laurens, lias a daughter of
whom he can be very proud. She has
for several wintere acted as engineer,
running her father's engine to gin cot
ton; using her books, even while at the
engine, for self improvement. By her
self application, energy and industry,
she has made money enough to educate
herself, first teaching and then attend
ing schopl. She is now in the, graduat
ing class of the Columbia female col
lege, has been elected to write her class's
valedictory address and holds the posi
tion of first honor in her class. Miss
Yergin is now but 17 years of age,
handsome and intellectual. She bids
fair to run a bright and useful career in
a lady's proper sphere. Miss Mary
Yergih's younger sister, Miss Lilah, 14
years of age, now runs her father's
engine and promises to follow in her
elder sister's footsteps."
The E lectog it a pi i PoRTRAiT.-IIave
you ever seen an Electograph Portrait?
We presume you never even heard of
them, for very few people outside of
New York city have ever heard of them
comparatively speaking, and less have
seen them. It is a copy of a small pic
ture with the Electric lights beauti
fully and artistically enlarged to life
size and painted in oil colors, and war
ranted to last a life time. Call at our
ollice and see us under the Electric
Light. Mr. T. C. Andrews, is the agent
for this County for taking these pic
tures, and soon will commence can
vassing our city. We would advise all
those who desire a small picture enlarg
ed of their husband, the wife, the chil
dren, the cousins, the uncles und the
aunts, and not least, the sweethearts, to
give Mr. Andrews an order
Robbing the Grave.?The Berkeley
Gazette says : "Pooshee plantation, in
St. John's Berkerley, contains in the old
family burying ground the graves of
many of the De St. Juliens and of their
kinsmen, the Ravenels, the present
owners of the place. All that remains
to mark the grave of Stephen Mazyck,
who w.'ls buried there almost a century
ago, is a rough footstone, marked S. M.
Two gentlemen of the family had their
suspicions aroused, and on visiting the
spot found that Stephen Mazyck's
grave ha;l been recently interfed with;
fresh earth, green leaves and grass be
ing found several feet beneath the sur
face. It is said that the negroes in the
neighborhood believe the intials S. M.
to mean silver money, and this probab
ly caused the desecration of the grave."
Orangeburg Mutual Aid Associa"
tion.?Capt. j Ham. Felder, who has
recently been appointed the General
Agent of this Association, is now en
gaged in canvassing the County with a
view of extending its membership, and
we commend it to the favorable con
sideration of our people. The scope of
the Association has been considerably
enlarged recently, and now any white
person in the ?nited States br else
where is eligible to membership, pro
vided he can pass the medical examina
tion as to health, and his moral charac
ter is good. For full particulars con
cerning this Association address Capt.
J. Ham. Felder, Felderville, S. C.
Roller Skating.?The war contin
ues against roller skating. It is a con
solation to know that this amusement
has not carried our Southern people
away. It is mostly confined to North
ern and Western towns. The objection
is that the sport is dangerous and that
unexperienced skatersoften break limbs
and heads. The great evil however is
the smashing of young unformed char
acters. Promiscuous crowds assemble
in the rinks, for the payment of the
door fee would admit the Devil himself.
All the belter conditions of society are
protesting against the evil, and we
hope it will be abated.
The Chops. ? "Guess," writing to us
from Jamison, says: "Farmers are dil
igently engaged in preparing their land
for planting, ami notwithstanding the
disagreeableness of the weather, they
have made rapid progress in this direc
tion; most of them are through plant
ing corn, and will soon be ready for
cotton. The oat crop is not looking
very well, they have been thinned out
considerably by the cold, in consequence
of which, there is not a very good
stand. But the farmers say if "it con
tinues warm they will make a pretty
fair oat crop yet."

ST. MATTHEWS DOTS.
Items of Interest Picked up In our Sister
Town by our Keslilnnt Reporter.
Messrs. John A. Byrd and Dan. J
Carroll left last week for New Orleans.
Mr. Dvsinger's school is in a nourish
ing condition. It now numbers nearly
sixty scholars.
The Board of Health has ordered a
general cleaning up about town. A
move :n the right direction.
Owing to the recent heavy frosts
nearly all garden operations have ceas
ed. The young plants are killed.
Mrs. Williams, wife of Rev. H. A.
Williams, has been quite sick at the
residence of Mr. V. Bates, six miles dis
tant from this place, but is much bet
ter now.
The season for liars is at hand. The
champion liar of St. Matthews claims,
only a stock of forty hundred thous
and, but says he will replentjsh as the
season advances.
Dogs?speaking of dogs, we venture
to say that Mr. Hydrick Winges has
the linest lot of imported fox-hounds in
the County. He recently caught three
foxes in two hours. Next.
Messrs. B. Jacobson & Son have re
cently completed a building on their
lot to be used for a restaurant, and Mr.
Dan. W. Herlong is now having mate
rial hauled to build a store on his lot on
Bridge Street. Thus in spite of hard
times our town continues to grow.
We believe the officers and agents of
the South Carolina Railway Company
are all clever and accommodating;
but we commend Mr. Edd. Winiberly,
agent at this place, as being unsurpassed
for the rapid dispatch of business and
urbanity of demeanor toward those
who have business with him connected
with his office. Mr. Wimberly states
that 7,982 bales of cotton have been
shipped from this place so far this sea
son, besides large quantities of naval
stores. This depot is, also, the distrib
uting point for immense quantities of
commercial fertilizers to a large section
of the best cotton lands, in the State.
.Trial Justice Hennon of this place is
a model one. One day last week a col
ored damsel of unenviable fame was
brought before him for some minor of
fence of the law; whereupon a verdant
knight of the razor begged leave to in
form the Court that the prisoner
was a lady and his wife, also; when
asked for a marriage certificate he
blandly replied that he had never been
lawfully married. The Judge forth
with took him in custody on a much
graver charge than the, one her lady
ship was held for. After an exhibition
of much penitence on the part of the
unhappy pair, the Court agreed to re
lease them if they would then and there
have the marital knot t ied which oiler
was promptly-accepted. No cards.
Alpha.
Fertilizers Continued.
Editor Times and Democrat:
I promised iu my last to write of the
commercial fertilizer of the times. Do
the phosphate guano pay on old sandy
soilV I answer no. I must say that
my experience with them is that the
first application to this quality of lands,
pays handsomely, but never afterwards.
They are deceptive. If a farmer de
pends upon increasing the productive
ness of his lands by the application of
them alone, he depends upon a broken
stick. 1 used three of the best brands
in market rive years in succession, two
hundred pounds per acre, my yield of
cotton the first year were 800 pounds of
seed cetton. The fifth and last year,
300 pounds seed cotton. In our Agri
cultural Society, the experience of Mr.
Fowles with the acid phosphate as a
top drissing for oats proved worthless.
With Mr. Bennett a success, increasing
the yield one-third. Now, Mr. Editor,
I invite the progressive fanners to
give us in your valuable paper the ra
tionale. "Critic's" humble opinion is
that the sulphuric acid in these phos
phates acts also on the plant food held
in the soil and makes it poor indeed. I
object to sulphuric acid because I think
it makes the plant food too soluble.
AVhy. sir, the small smigin of amonia
they put in these phosphates, the lirst
saturating shower the cotton or corn
drink it all up. 1 would advise any far
mer using them, not to let crab "grass
put its mouth on it. for it will steal it
all from the crop. These guanos would
pay us well if the manufacturers would
put about three times as much amonia
as they do. 1 am glad to see some im
provements in this line the present
season, there is good room for it. I

A Kentucky Sensation.
GrATSOX, Ky., March 27.?J. William
Neal, the last of the Ashland murder
ers, was brought here last night from
Mount Sterling for execution. Large
crowds greeted him at each station. He
was firm ?and composed, and maintain
ed his innocence to all of the many who
visited him. He ordered eggs, bacon
and coffee for supper, breakfast and
dinner, and refused the attendance ol
ministers until this morning. At 1
o'clock he was taken to the gallows,
where a large crowd was waiting to
witness the execution. He was escorted
by one hundred guards armed with
double-barrelled shotguns and pistols.
Neal ascended the scaffold with great
composure. He said :
"I say to one and all, you know this
is no place to tell a lie.* I stand here
to-day to suffer for a heinous crime I
did not commit, and one day my inno
cence will be established beyond" doubt.
I bid you one and all good-bye. Oh!
Lord thou knowest I am innocent.
Into thy hands 1 commit my soul. 1
am innocent."
The last words were said just as the
drop fell. .He was pronouced dead in I
ten minutes. None of his relatives
were present.
Strange Coincident.
On last Monday while a negro was
plowing with Mr. A. D. Kennedy's
horse in what is known as the old Si
Perry field near the depot, the horse in
passing an old well in the field stepped
too near the edge of the well and the
loose dirt caved in, throwing the animal
into it. The horse's neck was broken,
by the fall, causing death in a few
minutes. In the afternoon while a
colored man was plowing up a field near
Gen. Kennedy's house with Gen. Ken
nedy's horse drawing the plow, the
horse suddenly began to flounder as if
falling into a hole. II? soon disappear
ed from sight, and on investigation it
turned out that he had fallen into an
old well that had been covered over
with some polls and brush. It w;us
about twenty feet deep. The horse was
killed by the fall. It is rather a queer
coincidence that t wo horses belonging
to brothers should meet with similar
and such unusual accidents on the same
day, in different places. The negroes
who plowed the horses were also broth
ers.?Camden Journal.
That "Terrible Warning."
Last week one of the French dailies
in Montreal published a sensational
story about a man in Acton Yale.
Bagot, County, "while engaged in
thrashing grain indulged in a great
deal of profanity, and that on be
ing reproached for his language by
some bystanders he replied: 'li there's
a God let him punish me.' The man
was at once stricken with paralysis and
fixed in the position in which he stood.
Not only this, but he became, as it were,
rooted to the ground and could not be
removed, and the neighbors bad to cov
er him with rugs to protect him from
being frozen. Although offered food
he could not take it. It is reported
that Mgr. Fahre is to visit the place,
presumably to try and restore the man."
The article has been copied far and
wide and was also telegraphed to the
leading American daily papers. In
quiry from reliable quarters proves the
case "to be a fictitious one throughout,
and that Bishop Fahre never heard of
the affair and therefore never contem
plated visiting the alleged blasphemer,

An Afflicted Family.
Stephen Phillips, aged f?8 years, died
at his home in Chick Springs' township
on Wednesday evening. His wife, Mrs.
Martha Phillips, died on Saturday and
was buried on Sunday, as already noted
in the New*. Mr. Phillips was well on
the day of his wife's death and sent a
friend to Dantider & Mackey, of this
city, to purchase a coffin for her. When
it was taken to his house he examined
it carefully, expressed his approval of
it, and said he would be dead in a week
and wanted to be buried in a coffin
exactly like his wife's. The same friend
came in yesterday and executed the sad
commission. Four other members of
the Phillips family are now down with
pneumonia.?Greenville News.

Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often but the begiuuiug of a fatal
sickness. Ayet.'s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight
villi throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken lu all cases without delay.
A Torrible Courrh Cared.
"InlP37I took a severe cold, which nlftcted

toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, nnd afforded me the rost necessary
for tue recovery of my strength. By Ike
continued use of the Pectoral a perma

Cherry Pectoral saved me.
