He keeps on hand everything in the way of machinery which our farmers need, and will be pleased to have a call from them when they need anything" in his line. Mount Zion Institute.?The Mount Zion Institute will open on Monday, the 12th iust. There is a full corps of teachers, and the advantages offered are inferior to none in the State. The piUOpCV/LO AVI L1JV WUH.U~ ait very encouraging, and it is expected that considerably more than two hundred pupils will attend. Ax Old Lady.?Mrs. Rachel Chisholm, perhaps the oldest living white lady in the State, who resides near the Chester and Fairfield line, at Cornwalls, will celebrate her one hundredth birthday on the 17th inst. She is remarkably active for one of her age, and ?r>nar<?nfl\- has a frood while vet to live. May she live to enjoy other such celebrations. Brace Up; You arc feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you are bothered with Headache, you are fidgetty. nervous, and generally out of sorts, and want to brace up. Brace up, but not with stimulants, spring medicines, or bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whiskey, and which stimulate you for an hour, and then leave you in worse condition tlian before. What you want is an alterative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality, and giye renewed health and strength." Such a medicine you will find in Electric Bitter:, and only 50 cents a bdttle at Mcilaster, Brice ?& Ketchin's Drug Store. * Wait fok the Wagon.?By refer- j ence to another column in this issue, onr readers will find something of interest in the announcement of Mr. U. G. Desportes. The White Ilickory wagon has been used by too many citizens of our county to need any recommendation. lie also has in stock a fine line of breech and muzzle loading shot guns, revolvers, knives, saddle?, bridles and many other goods too numerous to mention. Inspect his stock and save money in your purchases. Read.?Mrs. D.

Q. D. Wiluford & Co.?Messrs. Q. D. Williford & Co. were kept busv on Tuesday moving into their new quarters in the bank building. Besides they are receiving daily their fall and winter stock, which they are opening and placing on their counters for inspection. Although comparatively a new firm, they are too well known to our readers to require any commendation from us. Go see for yourself. New Furniture.?TJead the new advertisement of Mr. Ir. "YV. Phillips, headquarters for furniture, household decorations, sewing machines, and everything usually found in a firstclass furniture store. lie asks an in spection of his good?, and a comparison of his prices with other dealers. It is to your interest to do so, as we guarantee you will find by calling on him when you need anything in that line. Back in Oi.d Quarters.?Mr. D. A. Hendrix returned to his old stand in the bank building 011 "Wednesday, where he will be found in the future, prepared and anxious to please ail who desire anything usually found in a first-class mercantile establishment. He is at present in 2sew York purchasing his fall and winter stock, which in a few days will be open for inspection. Give him a trial before making your purchases. Railroad S^iash Up.?On Thursday evening the north-bound freight train which reaches this point at about seven o'clock, p. m., met with a serious accident at the pump, just below town. The traiti consisted of twenty-six leaded cars. Some distance below the pump one of the coupling pins broke, and the engine and twelve cars ran up to the pump for water. In a short while the other fourteen cars came dashing around the curve, telescoping the twelve cars in front and completely wrecking two cars and seriously damaging four others. It was twelve o'clock when the train, in good order, pulled out for Charlotte. From reports it was a clear case of accident, and blame can be attached to no one. McCarley & Co.?Mr. II. J. McCarley returned this week from a trip to the mountains, in order to be present during the cotton season. Mr. McCarley and his partner, Mr. Macaulay, are .too well known to the people of Fairfield to need any endorsemnnt from us. In conversation with a member of the firm on Friday, we learn that they expect to handle the largest uumber of bales of any cotton merchant in the up-country during the present season, and will pay the highest price in hard, clean cash. Give them a bid before selling. Our merchants in surrounding towns would do well to correspond with them before closing contracts with Northern firms. Thev mean business, and we i are sure deserve success. A Peculiar Petition.?We learn from the Columbia correspondent of the JSreivs and Courier, that a petition asking for the removal of Supt. G. 11. Talcott, of ^the Richmond & Danville syndicate of railroads, was in circulation in Columbia ou Wednesday, and that similar petitions for signatures would be put out at all points on that line in this State. "We have made inquiry into this matter from our business men, and find that no such petition ie in r>irr>nl5l{-inn in mil1 tflwn. We do not hesitate to state that the action of Mr. Talcott, as Superintendent, has called forth any n amber of criticisms from our people, but no such news as a united effort to! efTcct his removal has been carried. Burked to Death.?A eolored child, about eight months of age, was burned to death on the plantation of at.- t_ 1.. Gladden on Tuesday last. The mother, Mary Shannon, betore going to work in the field, covered the fire up and locked the infant up in the house. A colored man on going to the house to see the father found the door fastened, and on pushing it open, discovered the child lying in the fire dead. It was burned to a crisp from its freet to its armpits. It is supposed that the child crawled to the nre, ana wnne piaying witn it icn among the coals with the above result. ? Sueh cases as this arc of frequent occurrence in this State, and something ought to be done to compel parents to be more careful with their offspring. Fine Hay.?Mr. W. R. Doty, one of j tne county's most progressive auci suoj cessful farmers, on Monday began | mowing bis German miliett. He bad j twenty-one acres planted, and tbe land i bad been thoroughly prepared, rolled and made as smooth as a pavement. Three reapers were placed in operation Monday morning, and before sunset the entire field had been harvested, wnicn win turn out at me least calculation fifty tons of hay. Some weeks ago the army worm made its appearance in bis field, which compelled him to harvest ten days sooner than he otherwise would have done, causing him a loss of about twenty-five tons.

It is useless for our people to buy a single pound of foreign hay, when it can be made so successfully within our own border. Petit Jurors.?The following is a list of the petit jurors drawn to serve at the approaching term of the Court, which will be in session for two weeks: Charles B. Lylcs, liobt. Y. Clowney, P. II. Flannigan, Joseph L. Bagly (colored), C. E. Lcltner, Thos J. Itabb, David F. Richardson, T. J. Robertson, P. C. Mellichamp, D. II. Robertson, Oliver Sloan (colored), Samnel Duke, X. C.

It will be celebrated by a number of male races and the sport promises to be exceptionally fine. The proceeds will go towards defraying the expenses of securing a cemetery for the town. This reminds us of the fact that our town is without a cemetery. In our large cities ana even in our county towns, one of the chief attractions is their cemcteries. Winnsboro can ill , . ... 1 afford to be behind her sister towns. | Cannot something be done towards securing suitable premises and establishing a town cemetery? It would add much to the attractions of cur town, and at the same time would be more convenient and acceptable to our people generally. "Who will move in the enterprise? Cotton* Fire.?Mr. A. Willi ford had the misfortune to lose about three bales of cotton 011 Thursday night. JI is wagon started from his Jackson Creek placc on Thursday evening iato. According to the statement of one of the colored men, one of the bales had caught lire at the gin, but It was thought to be extinguished and was placed on the wogon with tho other four bales. It seems that in this they were mistaken, as it was found on the j road that the entire load was on lire. When it was discovered the team became frightened and ran for some ] distance before they could be halted, j winch only naaea io mc mry ui iuu i flames. Before it could bo gotten under control the five bales had all 1 been burned considerably, and his! wagon body destroyed. The entire | loss will foot up about one hundred and fifty dollars. Tiik New Armory.?The new anno- j ry of the Gordon Light Infantry in the j bank building, when completed, will! be one of the handsomest and most j convenient in the up-country. The j hall is G0x3S feet, with convenient gun racks and otuer repositories on | one side. The floor is double laid, with a layer of felt cloth between the floors, with open windows on three sides and two .doors on -.he other. It can be with a little troublf and expense turned into an entertainment hall, while the double laid flo')r will make it one of the finest dancing" halls in the county. The Gordons hope to be in llieir new quarters by the 1st October ? . -IT7 (It tllc outside. >V U SU^gCSO a, raentary hop as a fit celebration to their return in their once old, but now new and handsome quarters. "What say you, boys? Weather for Septe3ii;er.?Prof. C. Baker, Charlotte's local weather prophet, has handed in his predictions for the month of September, as follows: September 1, fair and cool wind; 2, cloud r and cool; 3, fair and cold; 4, cool and rain; 5, partly cloudy and mild; 6 and 7, good rains, thunder and wind; S, cloudy and warm; 9, lair and warm; 10, partly cloudy and mild; 11, rain; 12, cloudy and mild; 13, rainy, thunder and cool; 14, little rain and cooler; 15, cloudy and little rain; 10, good rain and thunder; 17, rain and thunder; IS and 19, big- rain, thunder and windy; 20, partly cloudy and thunder; 21 and 22, fair and warm; 23, good rain and thunder; 24 and 25, partly cloudy and thunder; 26, good rain and thunder; 27, rain in the morning; 28, rainy and thunder; 20, little rain: 30, very rainy and thunder. Cut the above out and compare the predictions with the weather. Personal.?Mrs. I. J. Bell, of North Carolina, is visiting friends in town. Mr. Thomas Lylcs, Jr., formerly a citizen of our county, is on a visit to relatives in this county. More than twenty years ago he removed to Louisiana, where he has since resided, and we understand this is his tirst visit to the old Palmetto State since his removal. Mr. ~\V. B. Gilbert, chief of poiicc, is on a visit to friends and relatives in Newberry county. Miss Margie Morris, of Trenton, is visiting her grand-mother, Mrs. C- S. Brice of the county. Capt. Malloy, United States Deputy Collector, was in town on Monday on bis usual tour of inspection. Mr. "William Ederington, our county historian, is in town for a few days. Mr. "W. S. Sloan, of Colombia, is on a visit to friends in town. Miss Minnie Evans and Miss Marion Boyd, after an absencc cf several weeks, Lave returned to their homes in our town. Two Petitions.?Two petitions have been in circulation in our town this week. One asking- for the removal of Mr. Talcott, as Superintendent of the lines of the Richmond & Danville system in this State, the other asking for signatures that our merchants had no grievances against Mr. Talcott. The latter petition received the signatures of most of our bustness men, I the majority expressing- the fact thaj | tbey had no complaint to make against i Mr. Talcott, as they realize the fact i that he is only the agent of his snpei rior officers in carrying out their instructions. From the statements of I our contemporary, the Columbia Rcyj istcr, it would seem that the effort to j sceure the removal of Mr. Talcott I originated in Winnsboro, Chester and I Rock Tlili. It looks verv much as if the Columbia men were pulling' the nuts from the fire with the hands of outside towns, since (he petition made its appearance in the capital some days before it did in the surrounding tov/ns. While our business men have grievances againt the Richmond & Danville Company, they are not willing to make a scapegoat of Mr. Talcott. Cox Cotton Gns*.?On Saturday morning Mr. J. M. Cox gave an exhibition in front of the Court House of liis cotton gin, tr&shcr and fire extinguisher. A number of gentlemen attended to witness for themselves the workings of the gin. The patent is upon a brush which can be attached to ! any gin, making it impossible with its use to run any fire through the gin, and it also makes a better sample. His first experiment was with some very dirty cotton with the attachment off, and then with it on. One of our best cotton merchants said that there I was a cent per pound dlUercncc- in me t two samples. A box of matches was then broken up and scattered through a little pile of cotton, and the cotton saturated with kerosene oil, and set on fire and fed to the cin in a burning condition. It was extinguished without the slightest trouble by the brush. The brush cun be attached to any gin, and promises to be quite an addition to that machine. Mr. Cox, the owner of the patent, is a native of Georgia. We learn that two of our farmers are negotiating for the county right for Fairfield. Can't the Gordons Go??AdjutantGeneral Bonharn has received the following letter from T. C. DeLeon, Military. Secretary of the inter-national drill which will take place in Chicago next month: f r* rv A M.vn?f OA T' CZ AH ViliOAUV, ^'JLli^llOL ? V. >_> w. oral: Within the past two years I have had so much correspondence fruitlessly with you about our two drills at Washington and Mobile that I believe \vc may have the proverbial 'luck in odd numbers' and appeal to you for the third time. Enclosed letter, prize lists, circulars, etc., show fully the scope and nature of this encampment, and you will see that it is for the first time really international. As a South Carolinian, I still have pride in the old State, which long absence has not killed, and I should be particularly irlad to see her well represented at this drill if it be possible and agreeable to her soldiers to be here. To this end I am authorized by the management to say to yon that the j very lowest possible rates of fare have i already been obtained; and that in case of a South Carolina contingent we I would bear part of their expense for railroad fares. Living- in camp, and all other expenses here, will be reduced to a minimum, and I have no doubt that the Palmetto boys would make a genuine sensation in the far West. Hoping to hear from you soon, with your views upon this matter, I remain, very truly yours, T. C. DeLeox, Military Secretary. Attempted Rape.?On Saturday Charles Ycal was lodged in jail charged with attempting to rape the seven year old daughter of Mr. C. It. Joyner. The local editor took it upon himself to visit on Monday Mr. Joyuer and family to learn from them a true statement of the facts in the case. By the kindness of the family he was given a private interview with the child who -it .is charged he attempted to outrage. Sue said that the defendant was down in the bottom working with hay when her little brother came~^own, and Veal asked where they got water." "-The re-; ply was, sometimes up the branch and:, sometimes down the branch. Delondanr replied, that with a hoc he could clean out a spring 011 the spot which | was much nearer, and sent the little boy to the house for a hoe. Before he had gotten half way back, the negro hollowed and told him to tell nis sister to bring the house shovel. She did so and started at once for the place. When she arrived the negro sent the boy Jesse off tor his coat some three hundred yards, and during his absence Charles Veal drew the girl down in the ditch and asked her to kiss him, at the same time making other advances. Before his devilish scheme had been accomplished, Jesse arrived upon the scene and of course the villain deterred. These arc about the facts gathered by the local editor from the girl herself. 1>EATII is SOBiCinins ut ?.? iu Think of. Yet we know not when disease anil its ravages will attack us. "We neglect the small things in life to grasp larger ones. Wc neglect our health, which is the most important factor to our comfort and happiness, and when it is gone what pleasure is left us? We feel badly, languid, sleepy, but say its all right. '! will feel better m the morning." Morning comes, but the germs of disease have heer planted; they readily take root and grow in the broken down" constitution. In place of feeling better we feel more depressed and more badly than we did the previous day. Procrastination is the thief of time: it is also the thi<if of health, for by procrastination we allow onr systems to become thoroughly poisoned with disease, and once thoroughly charged with malaria or the germs of fever it is no easy job to rid ourselves of them. It is an established fact and beyond dispute though that if we keep the liver healthy and in good order it is impossible for disease to take hold on our system. " If you prefer a pill, try Dr. Gilder's Liver Pills; or if a liquid preparation, Hill's Hepatic Panacea. They both remove the excessive bile from the system, tone up the stomach to healthy action, build up the broken down constitution, and ii taken according to direction, it is impossible for disease to take hold on us. * MC3IASTER, B1UCE & KETCIIIN. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing lias caused such a general revival 01 iraae at jicjiaster, Brice & Ketchin's store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis, coven* for Consumption.

TTrp r^>^?g n , H T rj I " . \^A _2 li_ -Cw FOR III; NOW IS YOUR IIMI J'XOltlilS CREEK" VS. "LIGHT." T-V7V T In juessrs. j-juuvis. i now i'iu^cu concludc my reply to "Light's" article, which I shali try to do in short order. "Light" again, quotes from "Morris Creek:" "I believe that railroads benelits the few, but tend to the injury of I the many." lie makes 110 attempt to disprove this; he only mentions what line of action he would favor "if this, :> f'nnvrt i"c imf inner .ihfirefoi'G to ! uv; ^ ~ 0 reply to. Again "Li^'lil" quotes from j "Morris Creek:" Hail road facilities j tend to hinder and ciicck the amount of production,''" ctc. "Morris Creek" gives a reason or rather a proof for this, bat "Light" makes no . ittempt to disprove ;r, bat only says "if we :iro induced to neglect our interests, and impoverish ourselves we arc bad boys," etc. Ceing* bad bovs canno; prove that our people would not producc supplies, (meat and bread at home.) had we no railroads. What is consumed (food) is not taxable property, ;.,o..n.icr> inn tvpnJfh of the i L 111/1*9 iivyc iiiwi\.ucv State; ancl every dollar sent out of the State to buy food leaves the State that much poorer, and were it not for railroads our money would not be scut out of the Slate |to buy it, but wc: would raise it at home. I know this i argument is made gratuitously, in support of my own declaration, but is uncalled for in the discussion, as "Light" has not disproved it, unless being bad boys and deserving punishment disproves it. When "Light" disproves it will be time enough for "Morris Creek" to prove. In regard to the facilities of trans portation favoring cornering 0:1 me necessities of life, "Light" says: "When a corner is made on the necessities of life, transportation to a great extent stops, and those things are piled up and held until the time comas to sell!" Exactly so. Here lie admits j the magnitude ol' the evil. While! these things are piled up and held until the time comes to sell, arc the con-; sumcrs to perish for the necessaries of! life? And when would the lime corne to sell if there were no railroads? Were every section cf our country to raise its own supplies, it would in a great measure kill the railroads, and failing to doit the railroads arc killing, them. It is now the railroad vs. (he peopie, or the people vs. railroad. -4e- :lt the I JL110X1" IlilUi V,'2ia mv, ivuiup. present time, and I mean by the people the agricultural portion. They need not be antagonistic, but they are now. It is to the interest of railroads to bring all our meat and bread to us. While it is to the people's interest to raise both at home." By neglecting to do this wc are sending ofl'onr money to support ike great railroad dignitaries of the North. One other point remains to be noticed which I regret "Light" has referred to. lie says: "I venture to believe that the public school system has enemies even in the neighborhood of "Morris Creek."" "Morris Creek" * 1 1 ] knows no one in ins nfiignuuuruuou opposed to pnblic schools as such, but he knows of one man at least, who is opposed to what he believes mismanagement in some of the operations and appliances of the system. 1st. lie be- j licves it is unjust for public schools to j run unequal lengths of time in the j same township. 2nd. If? beJievos it j isunjust for one teacher to teach 35 or j itTHujpils for $25 per month, and another io-get the same salary for teaching live orien, both having first grade certificates. "Srd. He believes it is un just for oki estaUiisncu susujjs tv ov ; broken up that another may be cstab-1 lishccl for the accommodation of one or j two patron?, and with rritich less tlian ; half the number of scholars '1th. lie believes that for our best ami highest first grade teachers to receive fully 625 per month, is a reproach to the couiltr* 5th. lie believes that the patrons should have a vote in the selection of a teacher for their children. If these opinions constitute a bona fide enemy, fhnn *l"\fni*ns Creekr? is o:ic. I say this because "Light" has brought up the subject, and "Morris Creek" mast be true to his convictions. But in saying this ''Morris Creek" means no reflection or ccnsurc upon our School Commissioner, who is no doubt doing the best he can; nor do I mean or intend the least reflection upon any of our teachers, for many of these, lor their laborious and faithful work, deserve double t' .>a!ary they receive. If "Light" -..,.3 facts intimated in the forcg< i,:u statement and will apply primielyio1 'Morris Creek,'-' he will furnish him with thafacts and the name?. but he cannot consent to be a party to drag the names of several of our best teache rs into Tiiij Herald. And if "Light" finds that facts Intimated do ? - --i. ??.;n not or nave nut uAiaiuu, ui,u ?m convince "Morris Creek" of the same, i then "Morris Creek*7 will make to "Light"' a public acknowledgement in The Herald that he was mistaken. morris creek.
