Two fountains were placed on the Square on Tuesday and are attracting a good deal of attention. They will keep the grass fresh and green, was left for the Confederate monu ment When the flowers bloom they will add very much to the appearance of the Square. Dr. N. D. Gaudy, of Darlington, has purchased from Drs. Burton Bros, the exclusive right to use their local anaesthetic, Algine, in the ex traction of teeth, in this county. Dr. Gandy has had several years, experience in dentistry and promises to give satisfaction to his patrons. We hope that the improvements on the Square will arouse public at tention to the importance of having a park. By concert of action, and a little liberality on the part of some of our citizens, one can be secured at small cost and by making a small appropriation each year, it can iu the course of a few years, be made a very attractive place and be, even in a pecuniary sense, a good investment. A colored man, a stranger to this section, jumped off the train on the C. S. & H. R. 1L on Monday while it was.in motion and was very seriously injured. His face is terribly bruised and both arms are broken. He claims that be was thrown off, which is de nied by the railroid employers; who state that he had no ticket and be came frightened when they threat ened to stop and put him off, and jumped before the train was brought to a stop. Dr. Willcox has doue evt ry thing that was possible for him. One of our friends, who has quite a reputation as a flsherman, always when he goes Ashing, takes some swnll change along with him. As he, of course, catches his own flab, A GALA DAY. THE INSPECTION AND RECEPTION OF THE GUARDS. Au Immense Congregation Witness the Laying of (he Corner Stone- The Exercises. The people of Darlington enjoyed a gala day last week. A portion of Friday afternoon was a holiday to all. The stores were closed, business was suspended and every one was eager to witness the inspection of the Dar lington Guards, and the ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone of their new armory. It is a well known fact that the Guards is the only military company in the State having a limited mem bership, and by the constitution and by-laws of this company, it can have but forty members. At the inspec tion, every uniform encased the in gredients of a loyal soldier. The company was formed in its armory, and the march from there to the college green, where the in spection took place, attracted much attention and admiration. A large concourse of admirers of the “soldier boys” had congregated upon the green to witness their execution of the commands in the rigid military ex amination to which they were being subjected. Assistant Adjutant and Inspector General, John Gary Watts, escorted by Central W. E. James and Majoi It, L. Dargan, made the inspectioo, The rendition of the manual of arms and the field movements were newly the question naturally arises as to perfect, and many pleasing compli- what lie does With the small eoins? | merits were bestowed upon the com- Perhaps he may be something of a believer in witchcraft and throws the silver in the water for good luck.

Several cases of severe poisoning have been reported from their bites, and it will be well to let thim alone. A great many children play with them under the impression that they are harmless but they ought to be warned against’the practice. These pauy. After the inspection the Guards were marched to the Masonic hall, and escorted the members of St. David’s Lodge and American Legion of Honor to the new armory building, When ihe procession halted at the building, it was greeted by the soul stirring Southern song “Dixie,” by the Italian string bond, After tuck ing arms, the Guards were com manded to “break ranks.” Gen rul James was chief marshal and also acted as muster of ceremonies at the laying of the corner stone, which was done according to the beautiful and impressive rites of the Masonic onlef, The exercises were opened with tbe song “Hail, Universal Lord,”«iul proficiency with the cues suggested the possbility of some- practice in this line. Several couples with pre tended literary proclivities, invaded the reading room, but it i* needless to say that Harper, Scribner and the Century magazines were not dis turbed and even “Puck” was neglect ed, for the time being, and Cupid reigned supreme. The entertainment, much to the regret of everyone, (except, of course those who only went to look after the yonng folks,) came to an end at half past two. With many tender and lin gering hand clasps, good nights were spoken, and the place thatdiad recent ly been the scene of mirth, and joy, was left silent and deserts^. The Guards have always borne the reputation of being rtyal hosts, but on this occasion they surpassed all of their former effort!. During the eve ning refreshments were served eon- Hnuously and enjoyed by all present. To Captain Henry T. Thompson, who is a lineal descendant of the old school of Southern gentlemen, im pregnated with their ideas of hospi tality and chivalry, and to his com pany of handsome and soldierly boys, the people of Darlington are indebted for an evening of unalloyed pleasure and happiness. Those present at the entertainment were: Mrs. G. W. Dargan, Mrs. W, J. Alexander, Mrs, J. J. Ward, Mrs. Z. T. Uarlce, Mrs. A. C McFul), Mrs L. £. Williamson, Mrs. B. C. Moment, Mrs. W.

Our sporting columns have been pretty dull for the post wee), of two Wont some of our fishermen come to the rescue and give us some news. The dust was so bud ou Monday that Mr. Foreman gave the Square a good drenching from the hydrants. It was both needed and appreciated. A gentleman had his neck blistered by an electric light bug on Wed nesday night. The bug dropped on his neck and when he attempted to brush it off clawed the skin. Meisri. G. W. Brewne, E. 0.

Thef« has been great complaint made in regard to the outrageous habit that some people indulge in, of taking flowers from the cemeteries ON A LARGE SCALE. Silas Bass Steals 720 t ans of Goods From the Canning Factory. On Tuesday Trial Justice Dargan, on the affidavit of Mr.McRae, who has charge of the canning factory, issued a search warrant against Silas Bass, a colored man who lives near the C. & 1). depot. A search of his premises revealed the fact that he had been stealing on a pretty large scale, lie had 710 cans of vegetables concealed inside the house, all taken from the ware house of the canning factory, and in addition to this had a cellar under the house for the accommodation of stolen chickens, a number of which were found at the time of the search. Some garden hose was also discovered, but it is hard to imagine his reason for stealing this, unless it was done just to keep hie hand in, as he could not possibly make use of it and would have found it impossible to dispose ol it without being arrested, He is now quartered in one of tbe large and airy rooms of the IS.- arbo rough House, a place where canned vegetables and chickens do not ap pear on the bill of fare, which con sists of such toothsome luxuries as bacon, corn bread, and cow peas. If Silas could have secured a bar rel of flour and some canned meats he would have hud goods laid up for many days, to come and been in a position to eat, drink and j be merry, j Base* wife and his brother-in-law Robert Stepeuson were also included in the iudlcttuout.

THE WORKERS. ’ WAGE-EARNERS THOROFGULY ORGANIZE THE STATE. What Has Been Accomplished hy the New Movement—The Convention to be Held Wednesday.

While every one was looking to Wash ington, this great political movement- among the rank and file of the Democ racy of South Carolina has been pushed most successfully. The first convention of the State League will be held in the hall of the House of Bsprcieutatives on Wednes day week, and it promises to bo of nniHiKlly large proportions. i esterday the chairman of the executive committee in charge of the organization was seen, and he gave a summary of the immense amount of work that has been done.
