IltfailfM.-. • ; .vj study is A party of gen^^m^nile/t on Mon day for Mars Bluff, where they ex pect to spend a few davs in hunting and fishing. They are the guests of Mr. N, S. Gibson who is well posted as to the beet places for game in his section. They will probably spend a night in the woods, in true hunters style. They were provided with a formidable array of guns, fishing tackle, blaukits rubber boots and other articles too tedious to mention. That devoted fisherman and mighty hunter, Mr. W. E. McCall, will prob ably carry off the honors of the oc casion. Besides Messrs. McCall and Gibson, the following gentlemen are in the party, S. A. Woods, L. S. Welling, C. R. Woods, and Albert Woods. They were to lave returned last night, and had provided vehicles to transport their game and fish from the depot Since the above was in type the fishing party has returned. They were very successful and caught more fish than thev could consume. Mr* J. H. Mason, who left Dar lington sometime ago for Winston, N. C., has decided to move back to his old home. , Miss Mary Lucas, of Society Hill, passed through town on her wav to Columbia, where she goes to attend the Presbyterian College. A special business meeting of the Y. M. C. A., will be held at their hall Friday night, October 14th, at 8 o’clock. This meeting it called to transact business of nnusnal import ance to every member, and every mem A Great Pact at Rest. A fe\y days ago the intelligence was received that Alfred Tennyson, one of t4e greatest poets of this pr any othe r age, had passed quietly away and was at rest. In his death not only the English speaking nations, but also the whole world has sustain ed an irreparable loss; for it has been truly said that he wrote for all men and for all time, and his almost matchless poems will adorn the pages of literature as long as admiration for the true and beautiful sur vives. In the simplicity of his private life he stood amost without a peer among her of the Association is earnestly re quested to make a special effort to be hie ^ ^ present at this meeting. As it has been decided to move the Confederal® Monument from its present location, on the Academy Green, to the Square, we .will, in our next issue, publish a history of the monument, from the inception of the enterprise to its erection and dedica tion. The article is now in course of preparation by one who was con nected with the Association. The gentlemift who came into the office on Saturday and borrowed a copy of Thb Herald, will please come forward and pay for it. The paper is published as a bnsines enter prise and not for gratutious distribu tion. What aggravates the matter, in this special case, is the fact that the gentleman refered to has refused to subscribe for The Herald, and is not entitled to any courtesies. We are always glad to send or give a specimen paper to those who have an intention of subscribing, but to those who wish to get their reading for nothing, we can show no favors. For the benefit of our readers who like to travel we publish the schedules of the various railroads that have connections with the ones passing through our town. Going North there is a choice of three routes and everybody can suit himself as to the one they will patronize. The Atlantic Coast Line takes yon by way of Wilmington N. 0., over the Short Cut, the C. F. 4 Y. V., by v a of Greenb >ro and the S. A.

Smith has present ed ns with cluster of ripe peaches, which considering the lateness of the season are very fine. The tree is young and this is the first year it has ever borne fruit. With a little care in selecting varieties and with judi cious culture, it is possible to have fruit nearly every month in the year. Late apples can be very easily carried through the Winter and Spring and will keep well until Strawberries are ripe. If our people generally would plant more fruit, it would not only be economical, but add greatly to their health. Rallrsad AccMcbI at BeaictUvIlIc On Monday afternoon while at engine on the G. S. A N. R. R. was pushing two empty box cars round a carve, they left the track and three of the train hands were killed. Their names are Boyd Farley, Jim Mitqliel and Charlie Brown. The wounded are W. D. Folk, yard mas ter, Andred Whitted and Ed Powell. None of them are seriously injured. The engine was running at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hoar, and the accident was very bard to account for. It was possibly due to some de rangement in the running gear of one of the cars, which would not low the truck to turn to accommo date itself to the curve. Accidents of this kind are to a large extent nn avoidable as a derangement of this bind does not betray itself to an or dinary inspection. Mabel Paige alike New Opera Hesse. The visit of the Mabel Paige Com pany to Clifton Forge last week de monstrated two things: that Clifton Forge appreciates a first-class com pany and that a first-class company appreciates Clifton Forge. The four-act Irish comedy, enti tled “Inshavogue,” was the first pre sentation; and a most enjoyable play it was. G. Harris Eldon, who takes the part of the Irishman, Inshavogue is one of the best character actors we have ever seen; bis every appearance was a signal for merriment The play bad not proceeded far until he had completelv captured the audience. Mabel Paige, who took the part of Editha, and later, the parts of Zizz and Liltle Arthur, is one of the most ch&rmiug and gifted child actresess ou the American stage. She is of bewitching appearance and bright as a star. Her stage reputation is al ready made, though in the very be ginning of a most promising career. The performers were all veil adapted to the respective parts and rendered them In a faultless manner. The audience each night, Thursday, Fri day and Saturday was large, and made up of our very bestpeople, who are quick to recognize 8 good play when the see it, and just as wady to repudiate a poor one. Mabel Paige and her supporting company gave universal satisfaction. Zizz, the pet of the West, was rendered Friday night, and Solomon Isaacs Saturday flight* This evening the Company will re turn and present that charming play “Little Lord Fauutleroy.” No one should fail to see it In this Mabel Paige will appear to her best ad vantage. The above we clip from the “Valley Virginian, published at Clifton Forge Va. This is the same company that visited Darlington last winter, and everybody remembers little Mabel Paige, and will be glad to have an opportunity to see her again. Her rendition of Little Lord Fauntleroy is in the highest degree entertain ing and all the young folks will turn out en Masse to hear her again. This combination will occupy the Opera House from the 24th to 29th Oct. inclusive, and they ought to have full houses, as they are both capable and conscientious in their work. mathematics do not expect to fill the chair of this science at Harvard or Yale; all Who study music do not ex pect to star the American stage with recitals, yet each one can ’cultivate the taste, rbspectively, as to recognize the beauty of the science. AH fault does not lie with parent, but a great deal in teaching. There is in our nature a reeponsivl feeling to touch and sound, and this^mustV directed aright. Nature as a wbpk, with dis position must be studied. “The proper study of mankind Isman” can be well applied while cultivating the faculty and taq£e for music. There is so much to learn^that is truly beautiful. The deeper we go into its fathomless depths tfye deeper we want to go! Never arid ehd, al ways something to learn, to encourage us on. Its culture may h? classed in four relations; the eye, the ear, the taste and the executive ability, each closely bearing upon tfieolher. Differ ent minds grasp music in , a wholly dissimilar sense. The sale of trashy • *11 • •* i ’ J music will continue just £8 long as the populace wautit, ■heritec'the'tie-‘| > cessity of culture. How much time and money is spent ou trashy music and literature! Spent, aye, waited! So often the servants are companions while Wagner, Beethoven, Chdpin, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Lists and Bible, Shakespeare, Scott, Bulwer and others in this liqe, lie unnoticed. If not‘from, a selfish motive, why not cultivate the beauti ful in all things for the sake of,' fu- ture generations, the future of this sunny and promising laiid of* purs! As in the lineaments d<> we traea -a i. family or kind, so too* by-the taste and mind. Hereditary; plays anitn- portant part in life. Notonly “the sins of the father” are handed’dpwu, but the faculties of mind, disposition and taste, whetler cultivated or not. Effie Ellis. Why Columbus Ray )& October 21 Instead of October 12. * The question was asked us the oth er day why we celebrate “Columbus Day” on the 21st instead of the }2th of October. It is an easy question, but one that has caused philosophers great trouble. As far as history shows, all nations have reckoned time by solar or lunar changes. The Egyptians reckoned only by the sea sons.. The Jaws, Greeks, our awn Indians, and many other people reo*' koued by mouths, twelve lunar mouths making a year, andoccasjon- ally adding a month to keep time with the seasons. .But eveq with the most enlightened nations, theif rqctyp ings were full of errors. ' Julius Caesar, 46 B. C., •was the first to approximate nearest to adfti- racy, by ordering that evtery year should consist of 36lf| days. This was called the Julian Calendar. But a year in reality consists of 365 days, 6 hours, 48 inqriqtes, phd 50 seconds, or 11 minutes and ID seconds less than the Julian CaWnr dar gave. In the course of timethis made a great difference, amonatftig in 1500 years, tb'nine days, Colum bus discovered America, aeoordiugtoz - the Julian period, then,* Oct, 12, 1492, bnt taking into’conrideraftbn the nine days’ difference it really was Octal, 1492.. •. , .. In 1588 Pope-Gregory XIII, order ed that ten days should be added to the calender, but i^-was not till du ring the last century that all civliz- ed nations, with the exception of Russia, Greece, and some other mi nor countries, adopted a universal and correct Standard. It is this 5 hours’ 11 xninntes, and 10 seconds that necessitates an addi tion of one day every four years, which we call a leap year. Other changes are made e.ery 100 ye..rs, so as to keep the days, seasons, and years in harmony. *** HENRY M. SMITH, Real Estate Agent, FLORENCE St DARLINGTON, 8. C.

James Allan & Co. 285 King St. Clileston, S. C. MM* The Largest Jewelry Store in the State Musical Culture, As a nation we have yet to learn and teach music as a science. Gen erally, it is considered a part of girls education—the finishing part rather than a master study for man and woman. The day is approach ing tho’ this generation nor many others can enjoy the pleasure and reap the benefit of its being taught fta our schools aud colleges as a science of worth. Why this lack of culture? Where does it lie? Parlly with parent partly with, and in teaching. A child is put at school at the age of six or seven and kept there, till graduated, a lapse of ten or twelve years. The same child is pnt at music about nine or ten years of age and if not developed into a so .called musician in a few years, this Darlington, Sent.-5 1892.
