The usual number of fall and
winter weddings may be expected in
Fairfield.
The county tronaurer was at
Ridgoway on Friday and Saturday
for the collection of taxos.
Bethel Presbytery met last week
at Concord church, near Yonguos
villo, in this county. The moeting
was full of interest.
A cominitttee of ladies inl Winns
have collected $27.00 in money, and
$27.00 in groceries an d liquors, for
the Port Royal sufferers.
Judge Korshaw and Solicitor
Gaston arrived in Winnsboro on
Saturday night, preparatory to the
work of court this week. Both arc
looking well.
The presont term of I.ho court of
Common Pleas promisea to be a
long one, as a large amount of busi
ness is to be transacted. The term
may last two weeks. Jurors, possess
your souls in pationco.
Cotton is lato opening, and an
early frost would play havoc. Still
some cotton is coming in. On Sat
urday a largo number of people were
in town, mostly negroos, who seemed
to be having a jolly time, regardless
of politics and Liberia.
The entertainment for the benefit of
Mount Zion Institute will tak; placo
on Thursday night, at Thespian Hall.
It will consist of music, charades
and tableaux. Dinner will be served
from half-past one to throo. The
Histrionic Club will be thankful for
any donations sent to the ball on
Thursday. We hope the public will
patronize liberally.
The Tax- Payeir is the name of a
new paper started in Orangeburg by
* James S. Hoyward, Esq., a gent.le.
man of brains and experience It
will be Democratic to the core.
Orangeburg has had no Democratic
paper for some time. Such ani in
telligent and wealthy county should
e fford ample patronage for a sterling
journal, such as the Tax-Paycr
promises to be.
T he Citizens' Cornet Band serenad
* ed the Rev. Dr. Brackett on Saturday
evening. The pieces were choice
selections, and their rendering was
of the highest order. The band is
cnstantly improving, and we do not
believe, it has a superior in the
State. By the way, wvhy do not the
mnanagers of the Fair have a musical
contest, for bands in the State, with
a premium of a hundred dollars for
the best ? This would add greatly to
the success of that entertainment
The Rev. Dr. G. R. Brackett
officiated in Scion Presbyterian
church on Sunday morning and
evening, preaching two most effec
tivo sormons.-in the morning from
John xix., 41., and in the evening,
from Luke xvi., 10. The church
was filled on both occas.ions. ])r.
'Brackett has hosts of friends in this,
his former charge. He has received
a call from the church in Greenville,
but his congregation in Charleston
will refuse to give him up. Dr.
Brackett is one of the ablest divines
in the Southern Presbyterian church,
On Saturday evening about seven
o'clock the fire bell sounded, and
here was a general scampering from
all over the town to the engine
houses. The engine and truck were
promptly taken out, but before any
further progress was made,
the fire, which was in Dr.
J. B. McMaster's residence, was ex
tinguished. No serious loss was
incurred. Both 6nmnn.ne cl,sm.v
great credit for their alacrity. But
the ringing of !he hell, for momo
cause or other, is a failure. It can,
not be heard at the fr-cight depot.
Som fault lies in the arrangeiment
for ringing, or in the rin:er. Th
town council should look inlto tho
matter, and effl. an improvement.
CANVASSIN AGENT.We arep
od to stato that (l. Jno. D. Davis
has consented to canvass this county
in the interest of Tuj. NEWS AND
HERALD. Col. Davis is so well known
throughout Fairfield that ho ne,ds
no introduction to our peoplo. Ho
is authorizOd to collect past (ue
subscriptions and also to revnivo the
names of nOw sublcribe's. WO trust
that all those upon wlhoI he may
call, will respond favorably. It, has
bon the plrlposo of the plliblishcs
of tl,; paper to issue a journal that
should be worthy of tho confidenceo
and support of the p)ople, and wu
110po till to merit both. But con
fidenco and moral support alone will
not sustain an enterprise in which
money is constantly indispensable.
The moans of every newspaper must
come in a largo mcasuro from its
subscription list, and Tiu Ni:ws AN
HEnALDn claims to be no exception to
the rule. In the matter of advertis-.
ing we have no cause for complaint.
The merchants of Winsboro adver.,
tiso lilerally, and reap tho biefits
necessarily derived froml such .1
course. What we wn especi'lly i.,
to extend our subscription-list, and
it is with this viow that we have en
gaged the services of Colonl Davis.
Every man'mi of inftelligeic should
subscribe to lis home paper. Let
this be dono in Fairfield, and we
pledge ourselves to redouble the
offetrs we have alre:idy used to make
Tnsa NMS AND H1En.mi second in
merit to no paper in the Stato. The'
sum charged for a year's subscrip
tion is very small, for each individu
al, while the aggregato is a very
considerablo sin. We hope ,
through the efforts of Colonel Davis,
to increase the subscription-list of
TIhE NEws AN) HM.-RLn far beyond its
present limits.
The Circuit, Court.
The court convened on Monday
morning, his Honor J. 13. Kershaw
presiding. The commission of W.
H. Korr, as Clork of the Court of
Common Pleas and General Sessions
was read, and ordered to be spread
upon the minutes.
Hlis Honor then proceeded1 to
charge tihe grand jury as to their
duties. lie called their attention to
the different duties resting on them,
specially urging tihe importance of
secrecy. His Honor next instr uct
ed them to look closely into the
different public offices, ascertaininv
andi reporting to the Court the
manner in which tihe dliffron t
officials peCrformn their duty. He
congratuliated tile grand inury upon01
thle pr'oforni and universal peace
no0w pre~vailing, and especiailly upJon1
th(le entire absence of those conflicts
between labor and capital which
have but recently disturbed the
peace of somie of the Nor'therni
States. This state of t hings in the
South muist havo its effect in at
tracting Northern capital to this
section--the result of which nmust
be to make mfonley miore ab)undantm
wvithi us. The graLt trouble with
us nowv is the scarcity of money.
T1hore is the greate.t uncessity for
constant andl increased industry
upon tile part of our people. Time
man who wastos one hourL of tile
day loses one-tenth of his income;
One class of off'ences has become
very common with us-the lareny
of provisions. It is alleged, ini ex
tenuation of those crimes, that tile
oflenders in uuch cases steal for
want .of something to eat. But
this is no excuse. Tho seeominu
benefit gainoed b)y the thief is moure
than counterb)alanied b)y the injury
done to the party whloso prop0Jerty
is stolen. The p)residing jnd ge hasu
boImon requiested to chaurgo the( grand
jury on1 tIlo subjet of theo pJhlic
schools;. This is a mnatter' of gr'e:lt
importance to all the people. H ore,
toforo the schools hlave bmeen badly
maniaged, and teachlers4, in nmor,
Ouls cases, have been totally ill-.
competent. ThlCo soomsfl to I>o~ anl
improssion thlat anU ilividual who
is fit for nothing' else williimake at
teachoer. The eixa11minatiomns of
teachers shIouldi be more rigidl. In
this way the schools will be gronHy
imIlproveVd. The Legislature has1
p)rovidedl liberally for the suppori)01t
of schools, and b)ttor results may
be expected in tile future. Theoro
should be no distinlctions in dis,
tributing the benefits of public
edncation, All the people should
enjoy them n.like.
Soveral bills wero handod out by
Solicil.w. Gaston, and the grand jury
re'r *ed for their considerat.ioni.
