The Board of Equalization for
Fairfield, composed of Messrs. Il. p.
Moblty, Thos. w. Rabb, Sr., and
John d. Smart, which has been in
session since last Monday, adjourned
yesterday in order to give parties
chance to show cause why tho valua-
tion of their property should not be
raised. The board will reasonable
about the first of September, when
complaints will heard.
a very small skirmish took place
between pair Of light weights Thurs.
day, in rear Of the Court House.
Fortunately a Trial Justice was
present who commanded the peace,
and the combatants, after q few harsh
words to each other, went on their
way rejoicing that NO bones had
been broken.
Tho colorcd people, interspsrscd
with few few whites, held a pro.
liminary meeting in Barber's hall
Tuesday night to have talk about
tho coming election. Tho meeting
was organized by calling G. w.
Barber to the chair, after which tho
speaking commenced, and lasted uu
til late hour. Up to the time we
left Go ding had the inside track.
Whether he will keep it or not,
we are unable to tay.
Chief of Police Murphy searched
the northern bound mail train dill.
gently Thursday for the missing
Parker, but nary Parker could be
found. We are of tho opinion that
the ex-Treasurer went in the direc-
tion of Wilmington. Had Scott,
Neagle, Moses, Chamberlain and tbe
rest o. the Columbia ring gono with
him the State would be blessed.
North Carolina has gone rcpubli-
can On the Convention qucstion.
Mecklcnburg has gone republican,,
and Col. VIM. Johnston is defeated
by Gen. Barringer.
Kentucky has gone democratic by
an increased majority.
The Alabama democrats carries
the Convention by $4,000 majority.
The parade Of the Fire Engine
Company Friday afternoon was not
quite so large as that of the goth of
last May. On Friday only about
one dozen men were out, not a cor.
poral's guard. On the goth of May
the Company numbered sixty-four
men on the drag. This is enough to
discourage the active 6remen and
will undoubtedly have a tendency to
break up this, the best, organization
we have for the protection of our
property against fire. We hope our
young men will have more public
spirit, and not allow the fro com.
pany to 20 down rs other societies
have done in our town.
