?A good audience assembled at |the
Presbyterian Charch on Tuesday evening
to hear the lecture of the .Rev.
John W. Davis, a returned Missionary
from China. The crowd \vas highly
entertained by the speaker's happy
stvle ?f relating the habits and customs
of the Chinamen in his native laud.
?The attention of the members of
Scion Presbyterian Church is respectfully
called to the announcement that
the pastor of (he church, will be absent
by presbyteiial appointment on next
Sabbath. This appointment is made
by the Executive Committee, ont with
the authority of presbytery. The object
of it is tu aid?if possible?the
Aimwel! and Longtown churches in
oDiaining mc services 01 a pastor.
A Gentle Hint.?While the energetic
proprietor of the Opera House
deserves much credit for the handsome
style iu which he has fitted up his hall,
we were very forcibly impressed, on !
Friday evening, that a little heat was j
needed to make it comfortable.
New Cars.?We are informed that j
passenger cars will be put on the !
Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rrailroad
at an early date. They are made
after the styje of the Pennsylvania
railroad cars. There will be no difference
between the first and second ciass
cars, and will be much more "comfortable
than the ones in present use.
The State Militia.?The Gordons
will be glad to know that the eSort
made to repeal the law which appropriates
four dollars per capita, for the
militia of the State, was defeated in
?* the Legislature on Friday, by the
handsome vote of eighty to twentyseven.
It-shows that our people appreciate
the vonnteer companies of the j
state, ana are willing to materially j
assist them in their organization.
t
A Revolutionary Relic.?On Mon- j
doy Mr. J. H. Neil, bronght to onr
office a pocket book which we have no
hesitation in saying is the oldest thing
of the kind in America. It is an ordinary
pocket-book, hand made and
stamped as made in 1752. It was carried
by Mr. Neil's great grand father,
who was killed on the old Neil place,
about six miles from Winnsboro in
1779. This book has been in the
family for ever 130 years, and is remarkably
well preserved. It was made
of Scotch leather, and is valuable outside
of its history.
DCs Taws fiostts.^The bin stithsfizing
the Town Council of Winnsboi'o,
to issue bonds to assist in repairing or
rebuilding Mount Zion Col lege,, passed
its final reading in the Senate 'ast
week. Since our Dans nas expresseu
a willinguess to take up all the bonds
it begins to looks like we will have
buother school building in the near
future. We think the pupils of the
school will heartily concur with us in
saying that it comes none too soon.
Again Victorious.?Five competeut
judges award the highest prize to the
New High Arm Davis Fertical Feed
at the late Charlotte Fair for the best
Family tewing Machine. For sale by
J. O. Boag. , * *
Off for New Homes.?We are informed
that Mr. C. S. Brice, a successful
farmer of the New Hope section
has purchased a plantatipn in Abbe
ville county, and contemplates moving
there abont the first of the year.
"We also learn that Mr. J. Feaster
Lyles, another successful and wellknown
farmer of the northwestern
portion of the county, will move to
Lexington county about the close of
the year. Our county can ill afford to
loose two such citizens. We wi?h
ihem success in their new homes.

is being made by the anti-prohibitionists
of Chester, to have the law prohibiting
the sale of whiskey in that town
repealed. The prohibitionists, however,
will made a determined fight,
and a-petition containing about seven
hundred names has been sent down.
A committee from the dry men went
to Columbia to appear before the
judiciary committee on Tuesday night.
The Legislature seems rather inclined
to let the whiskey question alone, and
it is hardly probable that any action
will be takeu.
Ax Accident.?As Mr. Daniel Hall,
Jr., was coming into town on Wednesj
i ?
Uav LE1UIIJlllg JUOt ailCl ucaij
he attempted to cross the little branch
northeast of town, which was considerably
swollen. The stream proved
swifter than he expected, and his hungry
was turned over throwing him out
and washing him down stream some
little ways. He lost his overcoat, and
valise containing besides his clothing
$50 in money. Up to latest reports he
had not recovered them, and was
thankful that he had saved himself.
Went Fishing and Caught a Calf.
?Last week Press Dixon, Joe Sawyer
and Nick Lawson, arranged for a
grand fishing excursion on Moore
creek, but as the fi?h were not in a
biting humor, they concluded to try
some other game in which it turns out
they were more succcssful. The next
morning after their excursion a calf
belonging to Charlie Russell was missing,
and suspicion resting upon the
fishing party as the guilty ones. A
search revealed the fact that they had
killed and prepared it for market.
They were given a "preliminary hearing
on Friday, and all were bound
niror anewpr r?.h&r<rf> of larftfillV
VT ? J3 .
of live stock, at the next term of the
court.
The Columbia Dailies.?The Columbia
Register has lately increased
its telegraph service, so as to get the
full Press Dispatches?thus placing the
_t L ~r A-U-. \
paper aureufci ui irn; icaumj; uauica
of the country. In thus improving
the news department, the management!
has not suffered the other features to
be neglected, all of them being kept
well up to a high standard. The Register
now reaches Wiunsboro by ten
o'clock on the morning of publication.
This helps to make the paper more
popular than ever.
The Daily Record, the best evening
paper we know of in this section, has
so far proven a success that its proprietor
has had to enlarge it from a
six.col am n to a seven column folio.
This is n. substantial proof of a degree
of prosperity that the many friends of
the paper hope will last always.
Stenographer's Bill Defeated.?
The bill providing for a stenographer
for the sixth circuit, was again defeated
in the Senate on Friday. At the last
session of the Legislature a similar bill
passed the House with hardly a dissenting
voice, and was sent to the
Senate where it shared a similar fate
to the one on Friday. We are at a
loss to know what valid objection can
be urged against the bill. Other circuits
of the State are supplied, and as
far as we have been able to learn, they
are of incalcuable benefit in the transaction
of judicial business. If other
circuits of the State are benefitted by
the office of stenographer, why would
it not be beneficial to the sixth? Perhaps
the salary attached to the office
C r? f Urt n? i?r\ n r\ r* Z ? . I- Un ?\ ma
id tuc giisai ugauido ALO UOO%
sage. If so, we believe that it can be
mathematically demonstrated that the
counties of the sixth circuit would actually
save money with the services of
such an officer in facilitating business,
and in time consumed by officers of
the courts in attendance upon its sessions.
But in this instance the money
is not all thrown together in the shape
of a salary, bat it is a constant gradual
loss oi time, :or wnicn me people 01
the county pay other officers of the
court, and which in the three sessions
of the court each year would amount to
considerably more than any counties
proportionate share of a stenographers
salary. "When the Senate spends an
entire day in discussing and passing a
bill, prohibiting the catching of terrapins
fjom April to July, we can hardly
| see how the stenographers bill was
| defeated. '
Marriages.?For some time it has
been rumored that one of the merchants
of Winnsboro would find in
Columbia a genial partner for life, and
on "Wednesday Mr. G. A. White,
accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Mamie White, Miss Sallie Gladden,
and Mr. James M. Smith, left on the
down train for the capital of the State,
where he was to be joined in the holy
bonds of matrimony on Thursday. At
twelve o'clock, at the residence of the

Rev. A. Coke Smith performed the
ceremony and pronounced them man

A WORD ABOUT THE REGULATORS.
Messrs. Editors: A question of the
last importance presents itself jnst
now to me aod to vou. Allow me to
say through your columns what I
think of it, and if it meet your views
of editorial propriety yon may do likewise.
The delegation is "practically unanimous"
And for what! Not being an
adepi ?.t definition 1 will not here
attempt to define lawlessness. Besides,
I wish no quarrel over verbal
distinctions, and there is certainly no
occasion for any. No doubt I may
safely assaine that there is 110 dispute
as to the facts. Certain provisions of
Magna Charta are now obsolete in
Fairfield, and the rigrht of trial byjury
depends very much upon circumstances.
Senators and Representatives
| bewail the impotency of the law. Nay,
they tell us that the New Tribunal is
indispensable; that certain misde|
meanors cannot be reached in a court
of justice. This Jast is a startling j
legal proposition. But we all know
that circumstantial evidence will convict
a man of murder: that it has time
and agaiu been the sole warrant for
snapping the column of the criminal's
life; that it has alone and unassisted
overthrown the Plotemaic Astronomy;
that it is the handmaid of Geology and
the familiar acquaintance of every
man. Surely there must be an undue
assumption somewhere. Either this
or something like supernatural stupidity.
"The trouble is with the jury."
Well, right here and recently juries
have convicted parties charged with
these very offenses, and that too (as
has been observed) upon evidence by
no means conclusive to the mind of
the defendant's attorney. Who says
that a different rule will be adopted
to suit the complexion of the culprit?
Either say it or admit tnat tne uourt
of General Sessions is an adequate
forum. Can it be possible then that
these brave men who wear masks at
midnight are either afraid or ashamed
to prefer charges openly against those
who are so much in need of regulation?
Despite the mild evasion our Representatives
and the characteristic vehemence
of our Senator, we are here in
Fairfield face to face with a serious
issue. There is no escaping the conclusion
that the Regulators are a
stauding menace to all social institutions.
As progress is from the simple
to the complex so it is at the same
time from confusion to order.
It is not Judges alone who follow
precedents. This has of late been
abundantly exemplified. It will not
do, therefore, to say that we are "assured
that the Regulators do not contemplate
anything further than this
moral reform." Rather let us inti
mate in 110 unmistakable way that
regulation must proceed regularly,
and let us say, this notwithstanding
the fact that at least a majority of our
delegation in the Legislature do not
see the iniquity of the departure.
