There is now a white woman in the Fairfield county jail and that too on the most serious charge of running a gaming house and selling whiskey. The woman is Jane Carman, who is now 68 years old, a fact that makes the offense with which she is charged all the more revolting. At her home about ten miles west of town, Sunday afternoon Sheriff Hood arrested seven negroes on the of charge of gambling and Monday morning arrested her and one negro. The whole affair is a most disgraceful one and the officers of the law are to be con gratulated in breaking into such a "hell hole" as this is said to have been. Winnsboro's Postal Receipts. The post office receipts are usually an index of the business conditions in any .community and judged by this standard things have not been so dull hereabouts for the past year. The total sales of stamps and stamped en velopes was $4,237.29 against $3,969.89 the previous year. There were issued 3.440.money orders amounting to $17,088.85, and paid 1.237 amounting to $8,710.70. During the month of December alone the number of money orders issued was 440, it being necessary to make an addi tioan order for blanks by wire, the demand being so much larger than ever before. January is keeping up the pace set. The increase in the postal re ceipts the past few years has been steady, the salary of the post master having been increased from $1,200 eight years ago to $1,780, $100 of this increase hav ing been made as the results of the larger business the past year. Death of Mrs. Hi. A. Gaillard. Mrs. H. A. Gaillard died at er suburban home Sunday about midnight. For several years she ad been in failing health. Previous to the decline in her health she was most actively identified with every movement for the advancement of good works in her community. Some of the best work that she did in her great activity in a public way was as president of the Ladies' Memorial Association, which honored itself in the beautiful marble shaft that now stands on the public square. There was no one who did more to erect this memorial to the heroism of the sons of Fairfield in behalf of their beloved Southland than Mrs. Gaillard and the members of the Association fittingly ex pressed their appreciation of the good work she did by placing beautiful bouquets upon her grave,~ Mrs. Gaillard was Miss Har riet Gascoigne White of Charles ton, and was married, to Capt. H. A. Gaillard thirty-:aine years ago. Seve ral children were born of this marriage, but only one survives, Mr. Edmund G. Gail lard of Charleston. Capt. Win.
