* LOCAL LACONICS. MATTERS IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF DARLINGTON. A Column of News, Tersely Told, of Interest to Our Many Readers. Mr. Jno. Z. Hearon is quite sick. Union services will be held at the Baptist Church next Sun day night. Gen. W. E. James, who has been quite sick for some weeks past, is out again. Mr. S. Lewinthal is attending the meeting of the Grand Lodge, K. of P.. in Sumter. Dr. C. B. Lanneau has moved his office to the rooms above Sligh & Rucker’s store. Messrs. Bright Williamson and J. E. Norment syient part of last week in Charleston Mr. and Mrs. R. E. J ernes have returned from u tin o weeks’ trip through Virginia. Maj. Lucas, of Society Hill, had some elegant strawberries on the market here yesterday. Capt. W. H. Kennedy, of Williston, is here on a visit to his son-in-law, Mr. T. H. Ro gers. Dr. W. J. Garner went over to Sumter on Tuesday to attend a grand ball which was given in that city. The Rev. Mr. Richards con ducted the union services at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday night. A picnic was given at Low- ther’s Lake on Thursday, which was attended by quite a number of Darlington people. Sheriff G. P. Scarborough left on Saturday for Houston, Tex., to attend the reunion of the Confederate survivors Mr. J. 0. Baker, who clerked for Messrs. Willcox & Co. here several years ago, but who now resides in Savannah, Ga., was in town this week on a visit to friends. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Boyd have gone on a visit to Lincolnt in, N. C. , in the hope that the change may prove of benefit to Mr.Boyd. who has been in bad health for some time. The town authotities publish an ordinance in this issue divid ing the municipality into five wards, together with a procla mation ordering an election for a Board of Health. Jim Kelley was tried and ac- nitted in the United States Jourt in Charleston last week of selling liquor without a li cense. He was represented by George W. Brown, Esq. The street hands under Mr. Byrd have finished the ditching on which they have been engag ed all the spring, and are now working on tho side-walks— something that was very badly needed indeed. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, is now in session at Sumter. The following Darling- tonians are in attendance as members: W. E. James. Georce H. McKee, George One!''"’ H. T. Thompson. On Thursday Mr. E. M. WiL liarason lost his saw-mill and gin house by fire. The engine and boiler were not materially injured, but the building was an entire loss. There was no insurance on any of the proper ty- The Right Rev. Ellison Caper, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Soutli Carolina, made his official visitation to Society Hill yester day. He will visit Darlington today, and will confirm a class at St. Mathews Episcopal Church tonight (Thursday). The young ladies of the Pres byterian Church had to postpone their festival which was to have taken place on Friday last on account of the rain. They gave it instead on Tuesday afternoon of this week, and met with great success in their undertaking. While the ceremony of organ izing the local lodge of the “Woodmen of the World” was taking place in the Hewitt build ing on tho night of the 16th, a large hanging lamp fell to the floor, and a serious conflagra tion was for a time imminent. Mr T. E. Sligh, of the firm of of Sligh & Rucker, who has had charge of their business here ever since its opening, has re turned to Florence to manage ttieir store at that place, and Mr. B. H. Rucker, the junior mem ber of the firm, has moved to Darlington. The Tobacco Growers’ Asso ciation will hold its next meet ing on the 28th. The subject for discussion is “Work for June,” which includes priming, cultivating and topping. Sev- eral interesting addresses will be delivered, and ii is hoped that the attendance will be as large as it has been in the past, and that the same decree of interest will be manifested. q, 1 0 The barn destroyed by Are, of which mention was made last week, was situated on the pre mises of Mr. John M. McCown (the old Experimental Station lands) and not on the place of his father, Mr. George M. Mc Cown, as was erroneously stat ed. • The Rev. J. H. Dickson, of Florence, who was appointed by Pee Dee Presbytery to assist the Rev. Mr. Richards in the installation of the Rev. D. M. Fulton as pastor of the Presby terian Church at this place, was unable to be present on account of the death of his wife. On Sunday morning last, the Rev. D. M. Fulton, the newly elected pastor of the Presbyte rian Church, was installed by the Rev. J. G. Richards, who preached from the words, “The God of peace sanctify you holy.” During the offertory, the choir sang the 1 * autiful selection, “Seek ye the Lord.” There was a large congregation present. The Darlington Tobacco Man ufacturing Company was organ ized on Saturday with the fol lowing officers: L. S. Welling, President and Treasurer; A. Nachman, Vice President; Ira 8. Burch, Secretary and Gener al Manager; L. S. Welling, C. S. McCullough, W. J. Moorhead and A. Nachman, Directors. The capital stock of the compa ny is $10,000. The Timrod Literary Society, being desirous of accomodating everybody who may want to at tend Prof. Woodward’s lecture at the Armory on Friday night, and, at the same time wishing to prevent the hall from being over crowded, have issued cards of invitation. It is not the pur pose to share out anyone in the community who may expect to attend, if there are any such who have been inadvertently overlooked they can secure cards by sending to the Armory. Still Another Tobacco Enterprise. Mr. H. A. Burch, formerly of the firm of Burch & Burch, the proprietors of the smoking to bacco factory, and Mr. L. B. Booker have formed a copart nership under the firm name of Burch & Booker for the purpose of manufacturing tooacco hogs heads for the trade generally. Their place of businejs will be in the old lumber yard of Mr. J. H. Early, just beyond the C. S. & N. railroad. Dead Letters. Letters addressed to the fol lowing parties remain uncalled for at the Darlington postoffice and are advertised as “dead” for the week ending May 18: Messrs. J. G. Norton, W. L. Kendell, C. H. King, Thomas Jackson, Luther Hyines, Char les Green, I. W. Williams, Mrs. E. J. Gregg, Mrs. Julier Wil liams, Miss F. J. Mixon, Miss Gennett Lide, Miss Alice Cat- ney. Miss Anna Chapman. New Remedy for Cut Worms. As the cut worms will have to be looked after, we here give a new remedy against its ravages. We know nothing of its worth, but give it as we found it. It costs very little, and deserves a trial: “Take thirty pounds bran, two pints molasses, one pound paris green, put the molasses in to six quarts of hot water; add the bran and paris green, mixing thoroughly until the whole is tinged with green. Place one spoonful of this near the plants and wherever the worms are, not getting too near the stalk. If a new lot of worms hatch, the dose will have to be repeated The worms will leave the plants for the mixture every time. The bran and molases tempts them, and the paris green does the kill ing.” "Woodmen of the World," As already mentioned in these columns, on Wednesday night, May 16, a Camp of the “Wood men of the World” was organ ized with nineteen members. “Woodcraft” is a pure, fratern al and beneficial Order, and has now extended to all parts of this country and Canada, its percentage of growth being greater than that of any similar organLation. Protection in the form of life insurance is afforded its members at almost actual cost. It has numerous features unique to this Order, and alto gether it appeals to all classes of men. No death claim has ev er been contested or compromis ed; hence its members may feel secure. “Darlington OakCamp” starts out with very fine material, and under very flattering circum stances, and we believe it will soon double and then quadruple its membership. The officers of the new Camp are as follows: Consul, A. H. Hayden, Adviser, G. O. Mertz, Banker, L. E. Wil liamson, Clerk, J. W. Evans, Escort, J.W. Biggs, Watchman, W. A. Blizzard, Sentry, B. O. Bristow, Managers, A. T. Baird, C. W. Milling, and J. E. Nor ment, Physician, A. H, Hayden. M. D. With such men at the head of it, we predict a great future for the Camp, and expect to note large accessions of mem bers at every meeting. Tobacco Increase in barlington Coun ty. From 5,000 to 5,000,000pounds in six years! The above figures sound like fiction, but they are true, nevertheless. Six years ago, one farmer tried as an ex periment four acres in tobacco in Darlington County, making about 5,000 pounds. This first effort was made intelligently, resulting in a type of sobacco of such desirable quality and such marketable value, thit other farmers were induced to try the new crop. The success has been such that now (after six years) not less than five hundred good men are planting the weed, and with favorable seasons, no less than 5,000,000 pounds of the golden leaf will be harvested. The Darlington market has kept pace with the increase of the tobacco, always in the lead of other markets. Two new mam moth warehouses and quite a number of leaf factories are now in process of cotstruction, par ties having availed themselves of the liberal offer of Darlug- ton to give lots to those desirous of building tobacco houses. These buildings will be ready in time to handle the growing crop. Buyers who do not care to build can rent good houses, built for leaf factories, with the latest improvements, at reason able rental. Those wishing to deal in bright tobacco cannot do better than to locate at Darling ton. The daily sales hero con sist of extra fine wrappers, cut ters, strips and smokers; the latter are of a very fine type. One small smoking tobacco fac tory commenced operating about five months ago as a private en terprise. The business men of Darlington, seeing the possibi lities in the business, met last week, co operated with the for mer proprietor, and formed a stock company with $10,000 capital, thus assuring its per manent establishment and suc cess. Darlington tobacco makes a fine smoke; samples have been sent to Germany, and it is pro nounced the finest ever seen there. Darlington offers the finest opening for a cigarette factory in the South, cheap land, cheap labor, delightful climete, delightful people and plenty of bright tobacco. There is big money in it for the first who makes the venture. The enterprising man who seizes this opportunity, and comes in on the ground floor, will there • by have a monopoly in estab lishing his brands, will grow up with the business, and reap sure rewards. Come South, young man, Come South! As Viewed By a Stranger. Mr. C. M. Dempsey, editor of the Southlan a paper published in Brookland, “a suburb of Col umbia”, has recently been on a visit to Darlington and Flor ence counties. Here are some of the items of interest he gath ered while with us: No less than 500 new tobacco bams are being built in Dar lington county. * * * The Baptist Church that was burned at Bishopville a few months ago, will be rebuilt at once. The hotel was destroyed at the same time. No steps have been taken to rebuild as yet. * * * A new tobacco warehouse will take the place of the one lost by fire some time ago at Darlington. * * * The plant of the canning fac tory at Hcrtsville, Darlington County, is being enlarged, pre paratory for the new crop. The owners of the plant have 25 acres in peas and will plant 30 acres of tomatoes. * * * Mr. M. E. Hodges, of Darling ton, has a sow and ten as fine e gs as will be found anywhere. e is competing for the News and Courier prize of $100 for the best pig South Carolina rais ed. He will send them to the State fair and compete for prizes tnere also. THE COUNTY NEWS. FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. PHILADELPHIA. Mr. David Mixon, who has been residing in Florida for some months, is at home again. A Sunday-school has been or ganized at the Academy here which promises some good at least. Mr. G. W. Byrd, one of our oldest citizens, is m very feeble health, though all of his friends hope that he will soon recover his strength. Mr. F. A. Dowling, Sr., has about completed a dining room department to his dwelling, which adds very much to the convenience of the building as well as to its looks. The extended cool weather is badly against farmers. Stands of corn and cotton were at one time very satisfactory. Cotton has died out so that some have had to replant, while the “bud worm is damaging corn. The new Baptist church, just unpleted at BTorence, is quite an impossing structure. It is one of the finest church edifices in the eastern portion of the State. School Commissioner Smith, of Florence county, reports the schools of his county in a flour ishing condition. He says the schools are run from three months to five months in his county. * * • Two tobacco warehouses are to be built at Florence, in this State, during the season, pre paratory for the next crop. Flor ence and Darlington are rival ing each other for the tobacco trade from this section. The finest drink of the season is “Cherry Bounce”; guaranteed to be non alcholic: made especi ally for ladies and children: onlv 75 cents per gallon; & Young. Fresh line of candy received weekly at Sims & Young’s. SOCIETY HILL. Mr. J. L Coker spent Sunday in town. Mr. L. W. Lide has been on a brief visit to relatives at this place. Mr. R. A. Coleman, of Mar ion, is visiting Mr. W. A. Car- rigan, Jr. A dance was given at the re sidence of Mr. John Wither spoon on Friday night. Mrs. T. P. Bell and Miss A. M. McIntosh, of Nashville, are spending a few days here- The literary club will give a public exhibition in about three weeks. The author for the oc casion will be Charles Dickens. Your correspondent had the pleasure of seeing Capt. W. A. Carrigan’s tobacco farm recent ly, and can pronounce his crop a promising one. Binder twine for sale by Well ing & Bonnoitt. Nerve Tonic?

Tobacco has been growing very fast lately. Mr. Baxter Sansbury has plants one foot in diameter. We all have some fine tobacco. A prayer meeting will beheld in connection with onr church conference at Lake Swamp ev ery Saturday before the first Sunday in each month. Sims CYPRESS. Mrs. Adline DuBose, an aged lady, died last Thursday, and was buried the following day. The last cool spell of weather has given the crops a setback, but the frost did not hurt the fruit. Only a few farmers in this community will make a good oaf crop. They should plant all the peas they can. Mr. J. A. DuBose was in Char leston on business last week, and was present at the grand Hampton parade. He says the latter was the best he has ever seen in Charleston, and that Gen. Hampton’s speech was ve ry fine. We advise anyone who is an noyed by hawks to apply to A. M. Lee and S. C. Parnell, the champion hawk-killers. They will not charge anything, but will make way with these chick en thieves just for the fun of the thing.
