J N T1DARUNGH HMLD DAULINGTON, S. 0. Sunday night by a union service at the Baptist Church, the sermon being preached by the Uev. J, E. Carlisle, the pastor of the Methodist Church. Wednesday, January 11,1893. Mr. Peyton Fields, of Lydia, is clerking for Mr. M. Marco. Mr. J. II. Mason spent Sunday and Monday in Sumter. Miss Abbie DeLorme, of Doves- ville, spent Monday in town. Messrs. Gilliland and Croxton, of Florence, spent Sunday in town. Mrs. J. K. Blackman, of Charles ton, is visiting Mrs. E. 0. Woods. ^ Miss Mabel Odiorue, of Florence, has been spending some days iu town with relative. ifiv T. H. Parrott has returned from his new home at Williamston, and will be with us for a few days. Mr. W. L. Pearson, of Beunetts- ville, is working for Mr. J. H. Mason. He is an experienced jeweler. Miss Watson, of Hidge Springs, has taken the place iu the Graded jSchpal made vaoan by the resigna tion of Mist Hoy all. • \' r , I II I The Oil Mill has enough seed on hand to run it for a longtime. Cot ton seed oil IS now bringing a good pricej and of course this means money for the mill. . , Mr, Nachman, the owner of the building opposite the ones burned on Misnday morning, estimates the dam age to the building at about fifty dollars. We made a mistake in crediting the article on "Etnansipatlon Day” to Mr. Cottitt, principal of the Mayo School. It was prepared by Miss M. la Keith, one of his pupils, and was I very creditable piece of reporting. $hs tiettUttttfvllle Banner has ehafigdd llatlds nud Mi'tlti Bi Ander son, formerly of Columbia, Is now proprietor and editor. Mr. Ander son is an experienced newspaper mah and we wish him every success. He bas oast his fortunes in the best sec tion of the State and in the midst of an intelligent and thrifty people. Iu another column we publish an account of a monster cargo of cotton taken from Wilmington, which re flects great credit on the business en terprise of that Wide awake city. Wilmington is enterprising and pro gressive and is extending her trade in this direction. Outside of its business attractions it would be im possible to find a more hospitable and kind hearted set of people than the citizens of this charming place. Wfc have a fine fire engine ahd plenty of water but we badly need a paid fire department, a hook and lad der truck and the organization so perfected that orders of the Chief will be obeyed. At every fire the want of ladders is a most serious difficulty, aud buildings ure often endangered by there being no means of getting on top of them. A few light strong ladders Would cost very little and would be of great service even without truck, as they Oouid very easily be carried to any part of the Square. No better evidence of the health of Darlington could be given thau is offered by the number of aged ahd infirm citizens that invariably con gregate at a fire. They are too old to work, but they give those who do work the inspiration of their pres ence and the benefit of their advice, Bat for the salubrity of our climate and sanitary condition of our town, a large number of these venerable nitlseni Would be resting beneath the sod. The fireman and the abltbod- ifdoitittHS amidst the excitement Incident to a fire ate extremely care ful not to ran over these bent and tottering forms, whose weak and palsied hands cannot assist, but whose tremulous voices are ever ready with advice. II.—rrv.IT,—r About one o’clock Monday mOru< log the fire bsll sounded, and it was discovered that one of the small Itorel, of rather shops, on Pearl Street was on fire, There were three of them Very near together and it Was impossible to save any of them, There WuS HO Wind and the buildings Ott the opposite side of the street Were saved by hard Work. Mr. Pore mail ont a hole in the ceiling of the two Story building just opposite the burning buildings, and kept tbs roof wet. This with work on the front laved the building. The burned bnildluge were the property Mr. E. Keith Dargad and were insured in the agency of Gibson and Woods. Williams and Godfrey wbo occupied the building in which the fire occur red were insured in the agency of Ilf, B. 0. Bristew, They saved toothing Of their stock, The fire was beyond the reach of the hydrants and the engine cduld not be used. MrWeSrifPfk^i'. ^The lefVicW InclddUl to the Week fcf prayef; Were etfnuideri.ig the Visitors from a Long Distance. There were two Mormon elders in town on Tuesday. They tried to get the use of the Ci,«rt House for the purpose of holding a service, but our popular bachelor clerk would hot consent for our temple of justice to be used to propogate the doctrines of this misguided sect These elders are men of good address and pleasiug appearance and they will probably make some converts among ignorant people. Special Train to Benaettsviie. By the solicitation of ministers and friends living on the C. S. & N. R. R., the company has decided to run an extra train, on account of the South Carolina auual Couferenoe that will be in session from the 11th to 16th January, 1893. Train will leave Sumter on the 14th at 10.00 p. m., Darlington 11.11 p. m., and arrive at Beunettsville at 11.69 p. m., giving pavsengeis the privilege of staying in coaches until day, unless otherwise provided for. Returning leave Bennettsville at 13 o’clock) but tickets good to return on any train on the 16th. Round trip tickets from Darlinton only 76 cHits, An Important Movement, One of the greatest inconveniences of the town, the extreme narrowness of Pearl street will soon he a thing of the past as most of the holders of property facing on this street have consented to give about twelve feet of their yards in order to make the street of proper width, This will make it nearly sixty feet wide which will make it a Very pretty thoroug- fare. Bo far there hae been no ob jection, and the residents of this street deserve the highest credit for their, public spirit, Bnch concert of action, on the part of its citizens, has made Darlington what it is to-day. Wo question if there is another town in the State where the citizens work together so harmoniously to promote the growth and beauty of the town. This work will make it necessa ry to destroy a few trees, but they can be replaced and in a few years be prettier than the ones removed, At present the work will extend from Erven street to the railroad. The business part of the street will be widened later. Wheu this is accomplished every effort ought to be made to widen South Main street, at least us far as the C. 8. & N. R. H. This should be done before the erection of brick buildings will render it costly. ^The Clemenecau Case.” Alex. Dumas’ masterly production was given at the Opera House, on Thusduy night, by one of the best, if not the best, companies that has ever visited Darlington, and those who were not present missed seeing a very thrilling peiform&nce by fine actors. We sincerely trust that they will visit Darlington again, and if they should c.)me they will be greeted with a full house. The audience was not a large one, but this was owing entirely to the hard times and to the face that the town has, on several occasions, recently, been im posed on by poor companies. Mr, Michie, the efficient manager, uses the utmost caution in making con tracts, but of course it is entirely impossible not to be caught occa sionally. He has every reason to congratulate himself on the success of the Clemenceau Company, aud con rest assured that our people ap preciate his efforts to faruish the town with really good entertain ments. We make a point of never giving praise unless it is deserved, but we could not well say too much in favor of this splendid compa' y, and trust that they may meet with the success they so richly deserve. Some of the parts are difficult to act, but these fine actors are equal to the task of doing full justice to this masterpiece. -—' Wadesbore's New Real. It becomes more and more evi dent every day that Wadesboro will soon have another railroad, and a very important one at that. And the beaty about it is, our citizens Will not be asked to pay for it, for the builders propose to furnish the monny for its construction. A re cent issue of the Baltimore Sun con tained the following Liformation about the proposed new road: "The Atlantic Coast Line has made preliminary survey for a Hew railroad from Wadesboro, on its Che- raw and Salisbury branch, to Win ston, N. C. The road will be ninety miles long and penetrate the valley of the Yadkin river, whiab nns one of the most remarkable Water power* In the country, the fall being about 300 feet to the mile. At Wiuiton the neW road will connect with the Roanoke and Southern Road, a branch of the Norfolk bnd Western, which ba« its terminki at that place. The tniilditig of this connecting line will givb the Norfolk ymd Western a the Pocahontas coal fields, and there fore the Norfolk and Western is in close sympathy with the enterprise and will aid in its construction and operation. It is said that the Coast Line and Norfolk and Western in dorse mutually for a term of years tho’bonds for the construction of this new link. Wheu completed the road will be owned and operated by the Atlantic Coast Line. The work of construction will be commenced as soon as the located surveys are completed and will be pushed to a rapid completion.”—Wadesboro, N. C., Messenger and Intelligencer. Rabbery and Arson. On Thursday night of last week the barn of Mr. Arthur Garner, at Syracuse, was set on fire and with all its contents was consumed. The same night the depot at Lamar was robbed and burned. Mr. Garner’s loss was about five hundred dollars, and the depot and co'ntents about fifteen hundred dollars. Mr. Garner had no insurance on his barn. We have not been able to learn whethe the depot was insured or not. On Sunday night thebirn of Mr. E.L Gray, of Lamar was seton fire and with all its contents was a complete loss. Mr. Gray lost two fine horses, all of his corn and forage and everything in the way of plantation implements that he had. The loss is a severe one to Mr. Gray, especially at a time like this. He is one of the best cit- isensof the County and -will have the sympathy of everyone. Mi. Gar ner is a very popular aud worthy young man and bis loss is also a heavy one. On the affidavit of Mr. Gray, Trial Justice Morris issued a warrant for the following persons, all colored: Harrison Graham, John Dukes, John Williams, Baity Dukes, Hardy Mor ris, John Thomas, Caleb Boston, Nick Bristow, They ufe now iu jailt Sheriff King, hie deputies and the cltisens of Latttar deserve credit for their prompt work in arresting them all. There seems to have been a regular gang organized for robbery and arson. Communities that have been lynching men for just snub crimes uS this should learb a lesson from the law abiding cit zeus of La mar and let the law take its course. Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

Mr. G. W, Bass, of the Swift Creek section, died very suddenly on Friday after an illness of only two days. He had contracted n severe cold but none of his friends deemed it at all Serious, He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss, besides a large number of friends uud relatives. He was 43 years old at the time of his death. His re mains were interred at the Rhodes family cemetary. €APE FEAR RIVER AND BAR. Good Work of the Ini ted States Engineers—The Increase in Foreign Trade. Wilmington has made good prog ress in the past ten years iu its di rect trade with European norts. Yesterday, Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son cleared the British steamship Huntclff, for Bremen with ten thous and bales of cotton. This is the largest cargo ever shiped from Wil mington. Messrs. Spru it & Son ware pioneers in developing the di rect foreign trade by steam from this port. They chartered the Barnes- more iu September, 1881, of 891 tons register which cleared the fol lowing October with 3,466 bales of cotton, 673 barrels spirits and 660 barrels Mein for Liverpool. This Iteamet'was an experiment, and a costly onej and resulted in a sharp loss to the charterers, but the same firm renewed the experiment iu 1884, during which year Mr. C. P. Mebane, ship-broker also chartered several steamers for Messrs. Williams & MurohiSfen for direct trade with Eu rope. At that time Wilmington was comparatively unknown to steamship owners, aud the Cape Fear River was considered dangerous for steamship navigation. Since then United States engineers have worked won ders in the river and bar improve ments, resulting in closing the New Inlet and deepening the river from Vi to 181 feet, and the bur from 16 to Jill feet. The work, under Maj. W. S. Stanton, is progressing most favorably, aud the port of Wilming ton owes much to the skillful admin istration of this efficient engineer and his predecessor, W. H. Bixy, result ing in steadily deepening the river channel and bar, which Maj. Staton intends ultimately to bring to twenty feet at low water, if Congresdonal appropriations are continued for that purpose. About two weeks ago Messrs, Sprunt * Son cleared for Bremen the British steamship Hclyrood, which left on tieup tide in charge of Pilot J. W, Craig, drawing 18 feet iiacbvs, wil'cii ffM jttcrvMtij taking on coal and cargo at South- port to over 20 feet. This ship pro ceeded from wharf to sea without an accident of any description, which speaks well for the work of tke gov ernment engineering department.— Wilmington Star.

Keep Down the Acreage, If the cotton planters of the South cun be so fortunate next year as not to produce more thau eight million bales of cotton, they will be on the high road to foitnne. The present Crop Will fall short of last year's ovei- two million bales. While this may be regarded as a misfortune by some people, we have no doubt that it will prove n blessing. Had this present crop approximated that of lost year, cotton would now be selling at six cents. This price would have im- poverishod the South aud ruined our people. We have had a narrow escape from bankruptcy. Our planters—forced by the starvation prices that prevail ed last season—were compelled to curtail the cotton acreage. They planted more grain and other food crops. The harvests were good. The enforced cotton acreage and the large yield of other crops have resulted advantageously. If the same wise policy is pursued next year, the price of cotton will be ten cents) and our farmers will be free from debt. Like the grain growers of the West, the cotton farmers of the South have been impoverished by over-prod notion. This should be avoided. We know that on r Alliance friends maintain that it has not been over-production, but tinder-consump tion that has caused the decline in the price of wheat and corn and cotton. But the fact that a nine million bale crop sold os low as 6i cents, and that a possible seven million bale crop has sold as high as ten cents would seem to conclude the argu ment in faver of the theory that over-production brings starvation prices. In any event, the cotton producer will make no mistake next spring if he does not depart from the policy pursued at the beginning of the present year. The more grain and food crops the south produces next year, the more independent will our farmers be a year hence.—Augusta Chronicle, 1892. FOR SALE. Building lots in the Eastern part of the town.
