THE ELLIOTr COTTON GIN.--We are pleased, though not at all surprised, to learni that the first pro lum was awarded to the Elliott Cott n Gin at the rceont fair in Chester. Mr. Elliott, its manufacturer, to long experieie adds enterprise and progressiveness; so that his gin, as now constructed, combines all the latest improvements. His success at Chester is all the more sm evidence of merit when it is remem bered that his gin was there placed in competition with the Winiship Gin-a machine that.has acquired a very high reputation in this and other Southern States. DowN iN A WELL.-Onslow Mosby, a colored well digger, was seriously injured on ThIur'sday while cleaning out Mr. John A. Desportes' well at Bidgewvay. As he was coming out, the rope caught on one of the guide ping of the windlass and then slipped off-with a sudden jar. Mosby's hold was broken and he fell down a'- dis tance of twenty fOot. is shoulder was dislocated, the flesh was torn from the calf of the 'leg to the bone, *- aid the periosteum scraped off the shin for a distance of three or four inches. Medical assistance was promptly rendered, and the old man ig getting along as well as could be expected. AI'NE HUNT.-The hunting season * ~ Is 'againi firly inaugurated. Last Wednesday a parl,y of hunters, com posed of three amateurs from Winns boro, and the balance from Ridgeway and Longtown, under, the leadership of Messrs. David W. Tidwell and George Martin, succeeded in brInging - down a flue buok and a monster taxr key gobbler, on the old Harrison *Place hear Wateree'River. That por tion of the county is said to abound In game, and from all accounts affords genuine sport to the people. of that section and their visiting friends. The buck killed on the occasion referred to was pronounced one of the fineet and .tion, and front the talk of the 'Boro detachment was a delletous. treat In the 'eating line. Mr. Pope, of Long town, brought down the buck, and Mr. J. W. AMken, of Winnsboro, turn cheerfully assisted in "turning down" portions of both. 'Atari'to A'T THE FAn-The cor respondent of the Noeo and flourter, writing of the Chester Fair, says: "The Elliott Cotton Gin, .the ~wn to of Mru'.J. 31.

Such tempting and plethoric jars of jellies, preserves, plekles, Jams and sweet meats, of all kinds, were never before sen collected together under one root; such mellow wine, such pure -butter, such rich cheese and such gold en syrup, can be produced nowhere, I think, but in this county. My atten tion was called to a very handsome tea set, consistilg of a tea urn and six cups and saucers, which I understood were made of wax. Upon looking at the lab0l it was foundthat the set were fashioned out of 'pure-countfy . butter. The picture gallery too, displays some voey creditable P1ctures in. oil, water colors and crayons, while some of the lace work exhibited would rival the famed Valenciennes." Mr. D. V. Walker obtained a pre mium for his draft horse, and was said to be the best driver on the grounds. Mr. Elliott received a premium on his gin. A number of other persons re ceived premiums. The list will be published as soon as received. HEZ MORtTIOBLLO Sioooz. An Enthusiastle Meeting--Step to Organ lso a Graded School. [RUPORTED FOR TIE NEWS AND HERALD.) MONTICELLO, Nov. 3.-There was an earnest, harmonious meeting at Monti cello on Saturday evening, of the citi zens of Township No. 13. The people are enlisted in the subject of education and recognize .the inadequacy of the present school tax to support an ef fective system of schools. The follow ing resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice: Resolved, That our Representatives in the Legislature be requested to make effort to secure the passago of an Act by that body, authorizing the citizens of this township, at annual meetings in Juno, to assess a local tax for school purposes, and requiring the county treasurer to collect the tax so assessed at the time of collecting the genlrnf law. The meeting then proceeded to a consideration of the ways and means ofestablishing a Graded School at this place,-and on this snbject the follow ing resolutions were adopted, no one dissenting: Resolved, That we, the citizens of Monticello, and of the area included within a radius of two miles from this point as centre, (others living beyond this limit desiring to co-operate may do so) hereby agree to an assessment of one-fifth of our general tax, for a school at this place, and bind our selves to pay the same to the chsirman of the Board of special Trustees of Monticello School, on or before 20th November instant. Resolved, That there be a board of five members, constituting of a Spe cial Board of Trustees for the Monti cello School, who shall have charge of the financial arrangements of the school, and whose chairman shall be treasurer. Under the above resolution, the trustee" elected were J. M. Kirkland, J. K. Davis, Hayne Y. MeMeekin, Jas. McGill, Sr., T. W. Rlabb.. The following wvas then adopted: Resolved, That we meet this day two weeks to pay the'assessment. The feeling manifested warrants the belief that there will be a gdod school built up here, and that future assess ments will be cheerfully agreed to, if found necessary to effect this object. M.. HABEAS CORPUS. An Interesting Case-A Number of Prison ers Under sentence for Failure to Work en the Pubne Rlo.a Apply to be Release froin Custody--The Appnieation Befused. A case of some interest came up be fore Trial Justices Neil and Robertson last Thursday afternoon. A petition had been submitted to these Justices by T. H. Clarke and A. M. Mackey, Esqe., as attorneys for Jeff. J. Posey and others, setting forth that the pe titioners were confIned in Jail under commitments of Trial Justice B. E. Elkin, and, praying that they be brought before the Justices, with aview to being discharged on bail. (The pris oners had beeni tried by a jury In the Court of Trial Justice Elkin, on the charge of refimsing to work the public roads, found guilty, and sen tenced to pay a fine of two dollars and costs, or go to -jail for twenty-flve days.) Upon this petition, the Jus tices Issued the usual writ of luabeas corpus, making It returnable at four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. At the appointed 'hour the Justices repaired to tile Court House, where also the sheriff'had the prisoners, sev enteen in number. Before proceeding to hear the case on its r..orite, the Jus tices inquired of the prisoners' coun sel whether the Solicitor had been no tified-at the same time calling atten tion to that provision of the Revised Statutes which reguires that in all eases of the kind now under considera. tion the Circuit Solicitor or' the Attor ney General shall have notice of pro ceedings, before any order of discharge can be passed. After some argument by the attorneya for the prisoners, the Justices decided that* the Solicitor should be notified. .In order to give time for the communication with So licitor Gaston, the ihrther hearing of the case was postponed till eight o'clock in the evening. At that time, however, no reply had been received, and the case was then set fom' Friday. On the opening of the case on Fri day afternoon, Jno. 8. Re'ynolds, Esq., in reply to an inquiry from the Jun.. tices, stated that he had been request ed by Solicitor Gaston to represent the State. The case then proceeded. Mr. Clarke read the petition of the prison as follows: To Jno.J J.Ze Res., and T'. . Robertson, ~ la Juelkoe in and for *ai te and Oounfty The petition of Jeff. J. Posey fand others, nauning. the:nJ rcepoefaiy shows: Trhat your ptitioner rtope one of the trial justices in and for sald State and county. That said commitment charges that vour petitioners were convicted for ailing to work on a public road, and sentenced therefor. That your petitioners appealed from said sentence. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Honors to grant them a writ of habeas copus' to bring your petitioners before your Honors, that the cause of the commitment being known and seen, such further pro ceeding may be bad thercoi as are agreeable to law and justice. And your petitioners will ever pray, etc. -T. 1-. CLARIKE, A.M. MACKEY, Attys. for Pets. Mr. Reynolds then read the return of the sheriff T the writ, as follows: To Jno. J. Neil and T'. It. Robertson, Esquires, in and for the County and State qforcsaid:. 1, Jno. B. Davis, Sheriff of the Coun ty aforesaid, do hereby return to you, the said Trial Justices, that before the cominig to me of the answered writ, the said Jeff. J. Posey [and others, naming them)] were committed to my custody, and are now detained, by virtue of commitments to mne delivered by B. E. Elkin, Esquire, a Trial Jus. tice in and for the County and State aforesaid, which several commitments are herewith submitted and produced, Nevertheless, I have the bodies of the said Jeff. J. Posey [and others, nam ing them) before you at the day an( place within mentioned, as I am with in commanded. This thirtieth day of October, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and seventy-nine. Jxj. B. DAvis, S. F. C. The argument was openetd by Mr. Mackey, for the prisoners; Mr. Roy. nolda presented the case of the State; and Mr. Mackey was heard in reply. We have not space to present even a synopsis of the arguments of the coun sel. The prisoners' counsel claimed their discharge on bail, as a matter of right. The State resisted the discharge upon a numbel- of grounds, the chief of them being that the Justices were with out authority, under the statutes, to grant bail in the case. The chief question in the case seems to be whether the defendants gave proper notice of appeal from the son tence of Trial Justice Elkin. On this point there seems to be some misunder standing between Justice Elkin and Mr. Clarke, the prisoners' counsel, and as we are not in possession of all the circumstances of the case, we prefer to make no statement. After the argument, the Justices en engaged in consultation, and then stat ed that their conclusion in the case would be announced on Saturday morning. On Saturday, - the decision of the Justices was announced, and the ap plication refused. The prisoners were accordingly remanded to the custody of the sheriff. We have been at some..pains to as-. certain the facts of this case. It seems that the parties convicted had of their own motion, worked a road that is int used, was not a highway, and when: afterwards summOned by.. the road overseer refused to go to. work. Fot this refuisal they were duly tried, con victed and sentenced. What muotive prompted these colored men to refue obedience to the law, we are not in formed. If they acted under an honest misapprehension we have no doubi that upon that being made to appear, it would have had due weight with the Justice before wvhom their case wsEi tried. But if, as wvehave been inform. ed, they refused to work because of th< appointment of a.aw overseer (a gen tleman, by the way, specially qualified for the position) they showed a dfefi. ance of law at once criminal amnd dan gerous. They, with all others oj whatever class or comndition, mustleari that the law must be oboyed, and that there is ample power in the courts tc enforce such obedience. There was perhaps, a time in South Carolina ani In Fairfield when the law seemed pow. eriess to command obedience. Bul that day Is past-past forever. Th< sooner this fact Is recognized by every body, the better will it be for all .th people. JUST lRECEIVED. SEED harley, lRed May and Gal Whea, N. 1 ed ustp roof. Oats raised by myself, D. R.
