The announcement in this paper4 on Saturday morning that the Repub lican party in this county was too dead to show the least signs of returning life, was a little previous. On that day the grand Old party made another effort to como back t' life. A sprink-. - - uig of the old war horses of the former dlays of good stealing were seen on tihe streots, and their presencp was soon, explained when it was announced that a convention would be held in the Court House. The convention was, appointed to meet at 12 o'clock, but at i that hour there was no one present. About 12.15 Israel Byrdl opened the Court House, and delegates began to conmc in. Considerable time was con SLumed in getting an official list of. the delegates, and those present be came impatient and began to leave. . As the first squad left, Jos. Miller, of Ridgeway, called out, "You gtin't gwine fur, is you, boys?" On re ceiving assurance that they were not, Miller's countenance assumed a more pleasant aspect. ' W'~hile waiting wearily for the ball to begin, THE NEws AND HERALD man was questioning delegates as to who 1 was the their choice for President' but for some time he received no satisfac tion. Happening to light a cigarette, the delegates thronged around him In droves, asking, "if you have got an ether one of them things, mlgter, and 'as the reporter accommodated each one with a cigarette and match, they separately unbosomed themselves, and stated that Fairfield wanted John Slher-1 man first, last and all the time for President, but so far as the Congres alonal election was coneerned, Fair field.didn't have any choice. About forty delegates had assembled when brael Byrd cafled the meeting to order, and the call for the conven tion was read by the temporary secre tary, S. P. Martin. Most of the dole gates answered to their names. When the secretary called '"Sam Johnston, of ioreb precinct,". Johnston arose and said ho wished to make a correc tion of the "credentials." ills name was "Samuel," not Sam. This dorrec tion being made, business proceeded, rho first thing in order was the olec lion of a temporary chairman. Israel Byrd was nominated. The chair,. im mediately asked, "Are you ready for the question ?" and "question I" "ques tion I" . was echoed throughout the body. "All in favor say aye," said the chair. There was a heavy vote. "4 ll opposed say nay," said the chair. "Nay," answered a solitary delegate. Byrd then declared himself unanimous ly elected. S. P. Martin was thou olected secretary. Delegates to the State Convention were then nominated and elected, as follows: Israel Byrd, [saac Miller and S. P. Martin. -Delegates to the Congressional con vention were then elected. "This con vention meets in Columbia the first of May, at 12, m.," announced the chair man,. Twelve men were nominated, and by pallamentary rules peculiar tc this convention alone, the following were elected: I. S. Byrd, S. P. Mar. tin, Isaac Miller, J. II. Miller, Jordau McCullough, N. I. Ford. Geo. Kennedy then began to kick about some delegates not receiving a majority of the votes of the conven tion, but the chair informed him that it was not the chair's fault, so George took his seat. Isaac Miller then arose, and after ;peaking of his old and lcwg service to "de pahty," begged to nominate Mr. Israel Byrd for County Chairman, ;tatiug that lyrd, also, was old in the ;ervice of "do pahty." Geo. Kennedy >ounced to his feet and made a fiery ;peech, saying that lie was tired of all his talk about old men in the party. [Jo said, "When you go to repair an ld broken down house you don't put .n rotten timber," and he looked very ;ignificantly at the chair. His i'e narks received grunts of approval all wier the house. The chair innocently csked Kennedy what point he was flaking. Kennedy significantly re ?lied that he made no point in particu ar, ho only wanted "to arouse the uriosty" of the convention. The secretary made a speech in re ly to Kennedy, saying that old men were good enough. The Democrats <ept Hampton and Butler in the Son cte because they had been true to their party. The Republicans ought to do ho same. He told them that it made ittle difference what they did. All hey would have to do was to gc :o the convention and come honme md rest.for the next four years and ry to get their part of the crop from he white men. This was the only 'lpolitics" for the negro. Byrd was hen elected chairman for four years, mud on motion the convention "re ouirned." It is unnecessary to say that the con rention wvas composed only of negroes. ick IIeadacho I mInutes. FQr Constipa Ion it~ has no equal. -MOMASITER. BRtICE & KETUHIN. NOW AND T HEN. liessrs. .Editors: I find noted that ni the fall and winter of 1869 I sold in lifferent lots to Mr. Richard O'Neil & :lon, cotton merchants, at Columbia, ilghty bales of cotton, average weight L15 pounds. This cotton was shipped ~rom Alston, Columbia & Greenville lailroad, 25 miles for 40 cents a bale, et the weigl?t be 400 or 500 pounds, mnd when all sold brought on an aver igo $10.66 per hundred pounds, and vas weighed by sworn weighers at ;& cents per bale, or $6.00 for the whole ot-total freight and weighing $37.00. L'hib amount of cotton one year ago, f it had been shipped from Wallace 'illo (6 miles nearer) would have cost 988.00, as they charged 26 cents pcr iundred pounds freight, and the buyer towo 20 cents a bale-to weigh it, $16.00. Iotal, $99.00, making $62.00, in 1886, no than on the freight and weighing >f 80 bales of cottou, average weight L14 pounds, 6 miles nearer. They iave reduced the freight from Wal aceville to 20 cents, which makes a 100 pound bale 80 cents-twice as nuch notw as then, and the weighing ontinutes the same, three times as unch now as then, a considerable dif 'orence. I don't recollect railroad 'reighlt on a ton,of guano from Charles on to Aiston when first coming into lse, bitt now it thosts $4.40 a ton by arload to Wallacoville, and to Colm )ia (132 miles) $2.00, and from there o-Wallaceville (20 miles) $2.40. Why his difference when it comes to Wal aceville in the same car it Is delivered it Columbia. Again, I find noted that in 1860 I >wned 42.slaves and 1100 acres of land nd other property In proportion, and old 84 bales of cotton at an average rice of 11.6.1 cents per pond, and In 861, 91 bales at about 11 cents, wheni he making of ftill crops was stopped >y the war. Then I d not pay half he tax I do now, with land to work, vithout buying one-half the amount >f fertilizers and negroes to cultivate t for their "victuals and clothes".

J. M. G. P. 8.-As Mr. Younginei has been sick, I had to give my attention to the farm, and could not get my article in reference to cotton culture ready for publication, and send the above at the request of some of my friends. To the Public of Winnsboro and Fairfield County. The Domestic agent at Winnsboro, S. C., having accepted tihe challenge of the Davis Sowing Machine Co. in the columns of THmE NEws AND HERl ALD of the 9Oh inst., Mr. J. 0. Boag and myselt called on said gentleman on thle morning of the 21st in the in terest of said Company duly author ized and ready for business with a chmeck for $1,000,. to be* placed in the WVinnsboro National Bank. until con test was over and decided, urged and insisted that he be ready for business at any htour of time day that suited hlimself on the Court House square. After making lots of frivolous excuses, ho loft soon after for the country, where he said he had very important business to see after, returninug about dusk , after which I immediately sent a note say ing as he was absent during the day we would still be on hand Monday and ready and willing still to meet him at any time he might namne. Note returned immediately, having been opdned, with the reply that he had done all he was going to do, and said what he had to say in the morning's paper. Not yet being satisfied, and. determined to have him face the music if possible, 1 get a committee of three of' the best citizens of Winn 1;ioro to accompany Mr. Boag and my self on Monday morning to his resi dence and still give him a chance to show his colors and get the $1,000 he claimed he so badly needed, and still he refuses and fails to meet us with the machine he was ready withm at any moment. So ucow I leave the . townm with time undierstan'ding that the Davis Sewing Machine has won the day, and.nothing that said agent may say in the future wvill be taken any 1notice of by agent here or thle Davis Sewing Machine Co.
