By appointment of the State Dem

candidates for State offices will speak
here to-day. It is to he'hoped that
both sides will be given a fair and

The State Teachers’ Association
will assemble at Greenville to-mor
row, and will remain in session for
three days. Everything has been
done by the executive committee to
make the occasion both pleasant and'
profitable. Darlington comity should
be x-epresented by as many teachers
as possible.
The name of Mr. Lucas McIntosh
is commonly mentioned as the proper
man to represent Darlington county
J in the next-State Senate. A better
| man could not be found, and we trust
that he.tv dl consent to enter Hie race.
We are of the opinion that he would
command the confidence and support
of all classes, and do more to unite
our dividing people than any other
man in the county.
