A little effort to start the work is all that is required at present and when once started there will be no trouble to keep the interest going, thereby mak ing the success of the fair a certainty. A DIFFICULTY ONTH STP'CETS. The usual quiet of the town wai broken on Monday rat!-er suddenly by a difficulty between Mr. T. H. Ketchin rud Maj. T. W. Woodward. We learn from those who were thei e at the commencement that Maj. Wood ward was in couversa,ion with Mr. H. J. Gibson ai Mr. Ketchin drove up to the National Bank. Maj. Wood ward remarked to the effect that be would have been elected to the Consti tutional Convention but for fraud in the last election, and repeated the re mark. Mr. Ket chin was getting out f his baggy and said that any man who charged fraud at the (Winnsboro) box was a liar. Maj. Woodward asked what did you say, and Mr. Ketchin epeated his remark. Maj. Woodward bad a walking stick in his right'hand and a wooden mower pitman in his left.. He advanced and hit Mr. Ketchin with the walking stir k. Mr. Ketchin re eiving the blow on his left fore-arm. He grabbed the walking stick and jerked the pitman from Maj. Wodd ward. Then drawing back the pitman he said to Maj. Wodward, "You con temptable coward, I c'>uld kill you if [ would." While he drew the pit man some one got in between them. Mr. Ketchin was drawn i'.to the banik nd Maj. Wooitward went in there nd proclaimed that be meant to charge Mr. Ketchin with no fraud. Mr. Ketchin and Maj. Woodward absed each ot'ier then, and at this uncture Mr. Elliott Ketchin arrived and made at Maj. Woodward, denouu :ng him as a coward for striking his brother with a stick. Mr. Woouwarei raised the pitman to strike him and Sheriff Ellison arrived and interfered. Maj. Woodward got in a buggy, the Messrs. Ketchin's being kept in the ank until Maj. Woodward was away. TIE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. Union No. 2 of the Fairfield 4aptist As=ociaon held its regular fifth Sate nday and Sunday meeting with the ocky (r, ek Church, beginning last S urday morning at 11 e'clock. After a short prayer meetin~g the u.on was or ganized by the election of D)r. B. J. Quattilebaum moderat >r and '. B. Rabb clerk. Verbal r. ports from the churches aid Sundaj schools composing the nion were then receive d, and though none of them indicated very special progre.s there was a tone of good heer pervading them all, and it was evident that some advancement was being made. The three top'cs on the program were discussed in their order. Several of the regularly appointed speakers were absent, but others were ready to take their places and the entire time allotted was used. Considerable in terest was manisested in the discus sons and good was no doubt accom Three sermons were preached, the frst being on Saturday night by Rev, Jabez Ferris from Matt.*, 28:16-20. On Sunday morning Rev. 11. K. Ezell preachd the missionary sermon from the words, "Tny kingdom come,' Matt., 6 ;10. R:v. Jabez Ferris preached in the afternoon from Ac' s,2:41-47. The session w as not as largely at tr:ded as some have been, but it was eet usiascally sustained and wasa pofi'able gathering. J. M. Raffles~, of Longtown, made the acdress to the F unday school or Sndy morning. The Sunday morning collection was devoted to State missions. Te ladies of the church an:1 corn needs of the inner man. They know whet to prepare and how to prepare it. The next meeting will be held with the Winnsboro church December 28 and 29. A CARD FROM MR. BROOM. ir. Xdilor: In last week's issue there 9ppeired a communicition in which there was some reflections on Rev. Mr. Smith's sermon, and as I have been the correspondent from this place, it is generally believed I wrote the article. I did not know anything about the communication until I saw it in print, and as I don't attend social parties, and as I was not at church the day Rev. Mr. Smith preached on social parties, I cau't see why I was accused of being the author of the article. I will sta;e foriher that I ha7e more respect for a minister of the gospel that to assail him in such a marner. Hoping this will give satisfaction, I am very resp2c folly, J. P. Broom.

The session this viorning was marked by an interesting and important debate on the legis!tive department of the Constitution. Tne first discussion came up on the time of meeting. General Gray moved to make it the second Tuesday in Jan nary. Mr. E!erbe. of Marion, maae N one of the strongest speeches of the - session in favor of the change. The amendment was adopted. Mr. B. R. Tillman moved to limit the session of the legislature to 40 days, and argued L-trongly in favor of t that limitation. General Hiemphill opposed the mo-t ion, as did Mr. Frank B. Gary and a thers. Mr. Sligh spoke in favor of the mo in, and Mr. George Johnstone in pposition. Mr. George D. Tillman moved to amend, so th it the limitation should ot apply to the first four sessions of he lagislature elected under the new. Constitution. After some debate the motion as t hus amended was then adopted. When the section as to the pay of ~ 'the members was reach'id, General C Gray, of Greenville, moved to amend so as to make the per diem of members I nder the new Constitution $4 instead I f $3. This motion brought out much1 :iscussion-. Mr. Lee, of Sumter, offered an amendment leaving the pay of mnem- c ers to be fixed by the legislature itse]f. This was rejected. Mr. Derham, of [Horry, moved to pay each member an annual salary of 3 $150, without referez'ce to the length C f the session. After some debate, C this was lost. There was further debate upon the a amendment offered by Gen. Gray. A i: motion to lay the e-mendment on the table was lost, whereupon the further :onsideraion of the matter was post poned till Monday. t The ordinance as to the executive department came up for its third read-t ing. There were some changes relat-- 2 ing chiefly to phraseology. On motion of Mr. Gage, of Chester, th succer-sion in case of the death, removal or d'wbility of the governor was fixed s, t it should go first to the lieutenant governor and next to the tresident pro temn. of the senate. In the iatt er contingency, the legisla tre as to be called in order to elect a t new president pro temn. Mr. McMahan sought to strike out the provision requiring belief in the existence of the Supreme Being. His motion was overwhelmly defeated. When the dispensary feature of the aricle on police regulations (contin ued from Friday) came up. Mr. B. R. Tillman offered the following: "The general assembly shall never authorize the sale of spiltuous liquors-t in quantities less than one-balf pint, and tha only between the hours of 7 in ft. .aorning and 5 in the evening, and not to be drunk on the premises, and not to be sol'. in any pla.:e where any other business is conducted." In view of the absenee of Mr. Clay ton, of F.orence, the consideration of this matZer was postponed till Monday.I It was resolved that the daily ses sions of the convention should here, after be from 10 a. m. to 2 p. mn., and from 8 p. m. at the pleasure of the bOly.
