The Legislature.?It is only a little
more than ten days nntil the Legislature
will meet, and we think it is
almost time that our correspondents
were suggesting laws which would
benefit their section. The press or the
State has been qniet, and very few
laws have been recommended. Let us
hear from yon.
German Carp.-?We were shown on
Wednesday a fine specimen of German
carp from the pond of Mr. G. B. McCants.
A number of them were pnt
in his pond about two years ago, and
in letting it offou Wednesday he found
i a fine lot of fish. The one ?hown us
! measured twent>-two inches in length.
Mr. McCants has devoted considerable
attention to fish culture, and has been
quite successful.

menced their new life with the best

Shoes! Shoes!?Don't buy your
Shoes and Boots until yon come ana
look through our stock. Our prices

selling cheaper than the cheapest.

Advertising.?1The following lines j
show uuwise economy:
"Oh no," said Slow,
"I don't believe in advertising;
My trade, vou know,
Won't bear it?that there's no disgnising."
Down grade his trade
Kept going steadily and daily,
And caused to fade
The prospects that, had bloomed so
gaily. !
Tramps.?Oar town has bad a flood j
of tramps all fall, and it is a mystery
how few depredations have been committed.
We notice that an attempt
was made one day last week to forcibly
enter the residence of Dr. A. H. i
Davega, in Chester, aud that it was
only through main force from the inmates
that the attempt was not sue
cessful. We need some protection
from the insults and depredations of
this class of men, and the man who
will suggest a suitable and effectual
remedv, will be entitled to a chromo
from his fellow-citizens.
A Sad Deatk.?We are paiued to
announce the death of little Aiken 1
, -.? >*_ __ J Ar..? I
j&giesiou, son oi m.r. uuu jus. i/uwcc
Egleston, which took place on Monday
night last. The little fellow was sick
for about six weeks, and was a great
sufferer. He was about four years old,
and was an unnsually bright and interesting
boy. His death is a sore affliction
to his parents and family, aud
these have the deep sympathy of their
numerous friends. The funeral ser-1
vices were held in the Episcopal church |
on Tuesday afternoon, and the interment
was in the family plot in the
cemetery.
"WlNNSBORO AT THE FAIR.?Our town
generally sends down to Columbia a
large representation during fair week,
but this year it has been exceptionally
large, and our streets on Thursday
oimnsf T7t> to Friday
iV/VA\iu auuvdi wvm* ? ^
morning three hundred and eightyseven
tickets had been sold, which
makes a good representation from
j Winnsboro. The crowd in Columbia
! was an exceptionally quiet one, but
j pickpockets were out in full force and
j several of the Boro boys suffered from
j their presence on the grounds. It
J seems almost impossible to ;:ecp ims
class of men from the crowd 011 such
occasions, and for boldness so.ne of
their robberies could not be equaled.
A Shootikg Scrape.? A shooting
affray took place near Cornwall's
Turnout about, a week ago between
Wash Dorr and Henry Ruff, in which
the latter was painfully injured. The
former was arrested and placed in the
guard-house at Blackstock. After
being in some time, he concluded that
he could burn his way out; so he set
fire to the building in hopes that he
could make his escape in the confusion
which would follow the discovery of
i the fire. He found his plan a rather
dangerous experiment, as he narrowly
escaped being seriously burnt. He
was transfen-ed to the Chester jail on
Sofnt.f?oir Incf thnrnnchlv convinced
UOtUiUVJ 41-VWJ ?
that it would be better to stand his
trial than to attempt to burn his way
out again.
The Fire.?About eleven o'clock on
Tuesday morning the fire bell tapped,
and soon the whole fbfce was out and
ready for the fire. It was soon discovered
that it was in the house of
Phelia Stynes, a colored woman living
on Dr. Monaster's place, but was soon
extinguished before any of the companies
got to the cistern. It was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary,
as a piece of fire and some kindling
was 'found 011 the sill under the corner
of the boose. We were struck at the
time at the promptness which, all. of
our companies displayed when the
bell was sounded, and with what good
humor they took it when they found
that it was a small affair, and did not
necessitate the callin'g- out of the fire
department.
Prof. Willard and Miss Da yen*
PORT.?xne enieriainmem, given cu
Boag's Opera House on Tuesday night,
by Miss Davenport, assisted by Prof.
Willard, attracted a good audience.
Shortly after eight o'clock the per
formance began and for two hoars th<
r^rnwd was hio-hlv entertained. Th<
tricks of Prof. "Willard were carrie<
out as successfully as we have eve
seen by any one. The trick of allow
lug two persons from the audience t<
examine a box, lock and key, an<
then getting inside and telling them t<
gggggggggggHBBgggHBgjg
i
tie it securely with ropes and that he
would succeed in getting out was successfully
performed. The box was
examined after he had gotten out, and
found to be iu the same condition
which it was in when tied by thegentle
men from the audience. The performance
of Miss Davenport was as mysterious
as those of Prof. Willard, aud
we have found noone whocouldexplain
satisfactorily how the bell was rung,
and how she succeeded in throwing a
number of articles out of the enclosure
while her hands, neck and feet were
securely tied. The performance was
quite as good as the average performance
of this kind, and would be
highly entertaining to those who have
never witnessed such an exhibition.

ITEMS FROM MORRIS CREEK.
Messrs. Editors: The short cotton
crop made iu our section of the coun}y
has beeu nearly all picked oat, aud our
people are beginning to see far enough
through the year's work to ascertain
i whether they will come out behind or
otherwise. Sometimes it so happens
that the crop and the man are both
failures. But coming out behind does
not necessarily imply that the man is a
failure; for be may have done his duty
so far as industry is concerned. But
what a wonderful thiDg cotton has
become since the war! The master of
some and the servant of others. Some
make it as a sort of auxiliary, as our j
fathers did before the war. Others
depend upon it to pay for everything
they consume; with the latter it is not
only King, bat often a crnel tyrant.
Bnt still it will buy, prospectively,
mules, meat, bread and almost every- j
thing else; and that, too, without
knowing how much we shall make, or
what we shall get for it. But when
some international congress fixes a
uniform price we shall be able to make
it with far less uncertainty. Another
remarkable peculiarity about the cotton
crop is that the yield so seldom
goes over our first estimate. While in
nine cases out of ten it falls below.
Hence we often hear of one-half, onethird
and one-fourth of a crop. Now
I think I conld have a pretty clear
conception of these simple fractions if
I could just know what a fall crop is,
bnt unfortunately for me I have never
bwn able to find oat. Wo aid it not
be well to allow for contingencies, or
to base estimates upon past experience?
The only certainty about it is the expense
of trying to make it, and the
harder we try the more we increase
thp whether we increase the
quantity produced or not.
Some days ago Mr. Robert Crawford
bad his band severely and very painfully
injured by being caugbt in the
machinery ot his mill.
Mr. Laban Chappell has taken
charge of the Morris Creek school.
Many of our schools opened on the
2nd inst. As usual at this season of
the year much is said in regard to our
public schools, and I have heard very
different opinions expressed in regard
to some things connected with them.
Bnt of this I shall speak next week.
