In our last issue we expressed the fear that the oat crop had been very seiioUsly injured by the recent cole spell, but so far as we can gather, from those who have examined the plants, there has been very little damage done.

He haulec e bale of cotton to town with a mule that had a large sore on his shoulder. .‘It was an inexcusable piece of cmi tj* and he ought to be punished for it.

Not Content with being one of the live* Best weeklies in the State it intends making a new departure and branching out os a daily. Of course the weekly will continue as Usual, and will still enlighten the folks who can’t afford to subscribe for a daily. Florence is growing rapidly and the people ought to have enterprise and public spirit enough te give Mr. Hammond a generous support in his Hew venture} especially in view of More New Buildings. New buildings are still being erec ted in Darlington and the sound of saw and hammer, and the ring of the trowel is heard on all sides. Dr. W. J. Garner’s building is completed and is u very hamlsoms jiece of work, and will be one of the chief ornaments of the Square. The ceiling in the store is the prettiest in town and rellects great credit on that skillful painter, Mr. Bowles. Mr. Marco is excavating for two stores and has the brick already on laud. Mr Alexander is at work on Ins three stores on Pearl strset, and when completed they w ill add to the al ready handsome appearance of that street, Capt. Coker is hauling material rial to erect a residence on the prop erty recently purchased from Dr. Norment. Mr. C. B. Edwards is also preparing to build on the same block. Mr. J. W.

Despite the general business de pression and the consequent scarcity An Apology. We owe our readers an apology for issuing such a small sheet this week, but hope it will not he necessary to give them a similar infliction. Most of the weeklies skip Christmas week, and issue no paper at all. We sent out our regular issue, and in conse quence have been falling behind ever since. The office was, so far as work is concerned, closed for four days, and up to this time we have been una ble to make up, and in order to put things in order \flc are compelled to ask the. indulgence of our readers for this time. It takes very steady and persistent work to get out the paper on time and the lots of a few days always produces serious de rangement in the office. -— Remember the Poor. We did not hear of any actual cases of suffering among the poor during the recent cold spell, but there ought to be some kind of an organization to look after cases of this kind. It is often the case that the ones who are the most needy are the ones who complain the least, as they are too sensitive to appeal for charity. The strongest reason for an organization of this character is that when the necessity arises, the A Fine Troupe. On next Wednesday night Hey- wood’s Celebrities will give one of their grand entertainments at the Opera House, and all lovers of good music should malte a point of at tending, os it promises to be one of the finest performances that we have ever had. Every member of the troupe is a first class musician, most of them with a world-wide reputa tion, and both in vocal and instru mental music they will be sure to give us a rare treat. It is unques tionably the strongest combination that has ever made an engagement in Darlintou. Fine singing has been very rare in Darlington and this combination is especially strong in vocalists. Most of our people very readily pay fifty cents to hear a poor thea trical troupe, and they should not mind paying one dollar to hear some thing that is more than worth the price of admission. There is some thing rudioall wrong abouty the per son who is not mads better and who does not have higher aspirations after listening to fine music.

They are paying seven teen dollars per ton for cotton seed, and are enabled to do this in couse* quence of the very high price of the oil; We hope however, *hut this fact will not encourage the farmers to go too heavily into planting cotton, u$ both cotton and seed may be low next Full. If every farmer makes his own provisions, and by this we mean meat, corn, wheat, molasses and raises poultiy ther is no danger of his either planting or making too much cotton. He ought also to have enough to barter for his sugar uud coffee and other things that he can’t produce on his farm, The assertion may be safely made that the largei portion of the store accounts are for things that might be raised at home. The average farmer buys his axe handles, single trees, &c., when he might make them himself, as every well regulated farm ought to have a good work shop where farm imple ments can be repaired when the weather is too bad for outdoor work.
