SUPERIOR PAINTING. We paid a
visit last week to the residence OF
Mr.. Sterkins, formerly known as
the Bartlett property, which has for
several months been undergoing the
most thorough repairs. Mr.. Ster-
kins has exhibited great taste in the
''re-touching' of this place, and al
though the carpenters work is
good, the painting OF the inside OF
the house is as fine, we believe, as
can be found in New Orleans. Mr..
Horace Vickers, the painter, is a
,-Marylander, and understands the
application of paints and the use OF
the brush far above the common
run of painters in this State. The
doors of Nh. Sterkins' residence are
painted in French walnut, and are
superior to anything of the kind in
Coyington. Mr.. Vickers is n steady
young gentleman, and deserves
much credit for the manner in
which he has done his work. The
outside painting of Mr.. Sterkins
konse is not yet completed, but
Judging from the manner in which
lie has commenced it, we believe it
viii equal in beauty that of tie in
side We have no doubt that if Mr.
Fickers continues his trade of paint
ing in our town, Covington will be
able 20 vie, ere many years, with
the most aristocratic towns in the
State.
Many improvements in the gen
eral appearance of Covinston have
taken place since Mr.. Vickers' add
vent, quite a number Of houses hav-
ing received touches from his brush,
to say nothing of the furniture that
he has caused to look much better
than when new. Success attend
him.

PHYSICIANS ON SCHOOLROOM
ABUSES.

/ The HERALD's condemnations of certain
features Of school mismanagement have re,
ceived unexpected support from the just
published report of the Medico- Legal
society's Committee on School Hygiene.
This committee, consisting Of we'll known
physicians, some of whom have achieved
national reputation, find that during the
vacation months there is marked decline
in the death rate from scarlet fever. "As
soon as the schools opened the disease in.
creased its ravages" The fever having
broken out in buildings contiguous to a
primary school il is stated that 'the closets
in the school were covered over and all
ventilation excluded. Foul odors and
poisonous sewer gases were carried through
the school by the hot air of the furnace"
What is to be thought of the 50 curity of
life and health in any public school when
the buildings are in charge of janitors
ignorant enough to allow such combiua-
ton Of evils to exist without protest i? The

THE TEST OATH.

HOW 1T WORKS IN THE FORMATION OF
FEDERAL JURIEs In THE SOUTH.
A Washington correspondent tslegraphs
as follows: F."
In connection with the expected prose,
cutions in the southern States for infras-
tions Of the Federal election laws, ,consid
erable apprehension has been excited
among the Democrats of that region by a
recent decision of United States Judge
William B. Woods, Of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit, that jurors in the United States
Courts must subscribe to the test oalh. As
the Fifth Judicial Circuit comprises all
the States bordering on the Gulf, and as
Judge Woods decision would most likely
be made precedent for a, similar ruling
in all the other United States courts, tho
result would be that in all such prosscu-
tions the accused persons would have to be
tried by jury made up exclusively of
loyal whites or negroes or both. For this
reason, fresh pressure is being exsrted here
to secure the final passage Of the bill al,
ready passed by the House for the repeal
Of the test or 'ironclad oath. The bifl ia

An Epidemic---What Was It?

An Epidemic---What Was It2
Winnsboro has been in state of
wild excitement for u few days over
the sudden appearance Of an ILL
wind or something elsc that blow
disease into her midst, regardless
Of her former we'll known rcputa-
ton for hoalth. AS everybody
knows, on Friday the mass meeting
took place, and on tho same night
concert WAS given in the Thospian
Hall, which was largely attended.
During that entertainment ice
cream was served out plentitully.
On Saturday afternoon and night,
without any premonitory symptoms,
one person after another was seized
with chill followed by Il hot fever,
and in some cases with severe
nausea and pains, until by mid day
on Sunday at least forty cases were
reported in town. AS there lad
been no chills and fever in the
place for several years, curiosity
was aroused as to the cause. One
portion Of tie medical fraternity
attributed it simply to the effects
of malaria another, after inquiry,
suspected that something might
have been the matter with the leo
cream. Circumstances seemed to
corroborate this theory, as every
sick person was said to have pals
taken of the cream, and several
persons who did not attend tho
concert, but had refreshments sent
to their houses, wero seized in the
same manner and at tho same time,
while the only colorcd person in
town reported sick was tho one who
had manipulated tho ice cream
freezer. Tho attacks, though vio~
lent, passed away without serious
consequences, and by Monday AFTER
noon most Of the victims wore ablo
to appear Oh the streets. 1t was
subsequently uscertained that some
Of the persons attacked had not
partaken of refreshments, and that
some who had, had suffered no
harm. Reports were received from
ono locality in the country that
seventeen cases wore developed on
the same night. Tho solution of
the matter still rests in doubt.
The chills have generally not put
in reappearance, thus pointing to
tho ice cream. On tho Other hand
the reports from other localities
support the malaria theory. 1t is
possible that the exposure on
Friday and Friday night and tho
peculiar condition of the climate,
and the ice cream, whether poisoned
or not, all combined to produ co
the strange effects. We have never
heard of such a sweeping attack of
any disease in Winnsboro before.
Some parties thought tho yollow
fever was coming, sure. But their
fears were soon allayed Never
theless tho matter has been towns
talk for several days. The epidemic
played havoc with our intended
report of Fridays proceedings.

simoom calls round, THE News AND
