The Election.
The election has come and gone,
amd everything passed off quietly in
this county. The smallest vote ever
‘ polled in Darlington was polled on
last Tuesday. Tillman has said that
a vote for him was an endorsement
of Tillmanism and a " ote for Haskell
was a repudiation of Tillmanism.
For our part we are glad to be able
to say that we have repudiated Till
man and his methods and have pre
vented the misfortune of ever being
truthfully told that we endorsed
Tillmanism. If Tillmanism is De
mocracy we prefer to have none of
it The following is the vote of
Darlington product:

On page to of the Premium List of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie
ty for the present year, will-be found the
offer of Premiums amounting in the ag
gregate to $o00, for the Counties making
the best display of County Products, to
he shown at the Fair November 10, 1800.
The requirements are: “To the Coun
ty making the Best and Largest Display
of Products grown or produced by resi
dents of the County, Pemiums will be
awarded as follows: 1st Premium, f250;
2nd Premium, $150; 3rd Premium $100—
In all, $500. All Grain must be shown in
quantities not less than one-half bushel.
The Judges making the award in this con
test, will consider first, Quality; second,
Quantity ; third, Variety; and fourth, Ar
rangement. Articles for the County dis
play will not count in the Individual
Premium.”
I beg that you call special attention to
this feature, and urge your County to be
a competitor in the contest. Aside from
the money involved. County pride should
stimulate our farmers to enter heartily
into the matter, and thus show the pro
gress of Agriculture in our State.
I take it that the most effective plan
would be for the several County Allian
ces from theSub-Alliances, to canvass the
matter at an early day, and thus become
organized, so that by the first of Npvem-
bereachCounty will be abletoknow what
will be shown, and at what RailroajJSta
tion shipments will be made.
Uailroads require prepayment of freight,
but upon its return to the original point
of shipment, with the Certificate of the
Secretary that the same had been on ex
hibition, the amount will be refunded.
I will be pleased to furnish a copy of
the Premium List to all who may apply

For the first time in her glorious
history South Carolina is truly dis
graced, and that too by the action of
those who ought to have held her
honor dearer than their lives. Tues
day last will always be a dark day in
the calender of South Carolina, and
the remembrance of it will bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of many
who are now so carried away by pas
sion and prejudice that they will not
stop to reflect. For two years at
least, we must have for the Governor
of this Commonwealth a man who
has secured the position by pursuing
a course that is fortunately without
parallel in onr State, and which
should forever brand him with in
famy. It is needless to detail the
methods by which he has attained
his ends; they are known to all. By
Tuesday’s verdict we virtually say
to the country at large that Tillman’s
Charges are true, that our State offi
cials are corrupt, and that Tillman,
the modern Hercules, can alone
cleanse the augean stable of its cor-
ruption. If the people of onr State
were in their right minds, they would
feel more like clothing themselves in
sackcloth and ashes instead of giv
ing expression to shouts of rejoicing.
It it impossible to understand how
it was that some of onr most promi
nent and honored citizens, after de
nouncing Tillman and his methods,
should yet vote for him, and this act
at least endorse the man and his in
famous falsehoods. This act will
bring them many hours of future
regret, and tyrannic conscience will
not let them soon forget this great
blunder. It is to the everlasting
glory of South Carolina that some
other sons have ntteged their protest I public roads, which has often been
aga.nst this reproach being fastened, We f }}ink u 8 ^ ould ^ the duty of

Grand Jury Report.
South Carolina, 1
Darlington County, j
To His Honor J. II. Hudson, Pre
siding Judge:
The Grand Jury make the follow
ing as their final presentment:
During the year we have examined
the offices and hooks of the several
county officers, and find nothing to
bring to the attention of the Court.
In the Court House we find the
jury rooms in unsatisfactory condi
tion We recommend that they be
furnished with comfortable settees
and tables, and that more attention
be paid to their cleanliness, and es
pecially that proper means he taken
to prevent the urinals from becoming
offensive. Such settees as are pro
vided frequently in the waiting rooms
at the railroad depots we suggest
would be economical and suitable.
In the Sheriff's office we find there
is need of a case for the preservation
of such executions as have to be kept
in that office. The one now in use
is, in our judgment, not suited for
the purpose.
We have examined the Official
Bonds of all the County officers, and
find them, in pur judgment, adequate
to protect the interests of the Comity
and State. -•
At the Poor House we find the
Superintendent’s house in a bad con
dition—the roof leaking, the plaster
ing falling, and part of the under
pinning giving way. The cottages
have the windows badly broken,
many of them with very few whole
panes of glass. The inmates appear
to he otherwise as well provided for
as the means provided will allow,
and we have no complaints from any
of them. We regard the repairs re
ferred to as of great importance and
demanding immediate attention from
the County Commissioners.
The condition of the Public Roads
in the County seems to have reached
a point beyond the endurance of
long-suffering public. Complaints
come to us from every part of the
county of important roads badly
worked or not worked at all, many of
the smaller bridges impassible or
dangerous, and travel in some places
almost impossible. In the opinion
of many of onr citizens the road laws
of the State are inadequate to the
urgent state of our country; but the
Grand Jury are of the opinion that
the present laws, if enforced, would
at least be sufficient to gi ve to the
people of every part of the county
roads that would admit of travel with
an ordinary load, and without dan
ger to horse or vehicle. The prac
tice of plowing into the limits of the

Columbia, S. C., Oct. 5th, 5:30 p.
Ml—Very few returns and none offi
cial to-day, but it is generally admit
ted that Till man for Governor and
kill entire ticket have carried the
State by at least 35,000 majority.
Six of the seven Congressmen in this
State are certainly Democratic and
the seventh in doubt, with chance
favoring the Democratic nominee as
there are two Republican candidates

bring the parties so trespassing to
justice.
At the present term of the Court
many cases have been sent up for ag
gravated assault and battery. In our
judgment a large proportion of these
cases ought to have been adjudicated
by the Trial Justices as cases of sim
ple assault and battery within their
jurisdiction. This course, if pur
sued, would have not only saved the
expense to the county of the investi
gation by the Grand Jury, but would
have promptly administered justice
to the guilty parties proportioned to
the gravity of the offence committed.
We have heard with interest the
remarks of the presiding Judge on
the term of service of jurors. We
recommend that the law requiring
petit jurors to serve during the whole
term of court he amended, and that
the jurors lie summoned to serve on
ly for one week.
Thanking Your Honor for the
clearness of your instructions, and
for the courtesy and assistance ex
tended to us in the discharge of our
duties.
