Floyd was not entitled to till the
position, i. e., that he did not have a
majority of the freeholders signed to
his petition; that he had not complied
with -the law in regard to persons
filling the position of dispenser; and
several law technicalities.
The Herald reporter endeavored
to find Mr. Floyd, but he was not in
the city.
Trial Justice Floyd bad nothing
to say in regard to the matter, but
Mr. G. W. Brown, of the firm of
Boyd & Brown, Mr. J. B. Floyd’s le
gal advisers, said: “There is no ques
tion of Mr. Floyd’s abilitv to sus
tain the entire validity of his petition
and he will make the light with full
confidence of winning.”
As is well known Mr. W. Perry
Carter, one of the board of control,
refused to sign any of the dispensary
papers, not kibg satified with the
Ind ie of procedure.
The injunction further requires
dr. Floyd and the memliers of the
joard of control to appear before
Judge Hudson to show cause why
the board should issue a permit for
dr. Floyd to dispense liquors.

HAPPENINGS AT THE FACTORY
THIS WEEK.
A Swindler,
On Tuesday a stranger made his
appearance in town, claiming to be
g ie agent for some musical periodical.
e managed to secure about fifteen
dollars before any suspicion was
aroused in regard to his reliability.
The chief of police thinking that fie
might be the same man that had been
advertised as having worked his game
n other places, ordered him to leave
i;oWh which he did without ceremony.
It is a standing marvel why people
Will persist in paying over money to
strangers, especially in view of the
fact that the newspapers are con
stantly warning them against such
folly. People who lose money through
no fault of their own are always
entitled to sympathy, but no one
feels the least sorry for those who
persist in allowing themselves to be
duped by almost every plausible
swindler that makes his appearance.
Of course there are a great many
agents for books and magazines that
are perfectly responsible who have no
trouble in making themselves known,
but where a man cannot do this it is
far safer to let him severely alone.
Swindling would soon cease If people
did not allow themselves to be so
easily imposed upon. If yon have
money that you don’t need put it in
the bunks where it will be taken care
of and kept out of the hands of
swindlers.
The Board of Health,
The council has appointed a board
of health and we sincerely trust that
its members will visit the tomb where
the embalmed remains of their pre
decessors arc kept and take warning
from their untimely demise, and not
allow themselves to share the same
fate. The members of the former
board fell Itilo a tkulli like trance
just after they Were appointed, mid
ufter remaining in a comatose state
for about two years amt showing no
signs of life, their remains were em
balmed, out of respect to them ns
private citizens and with tender and
reverent hands consigned to tomb in
the town lunseum, where they might
enjoy the same repose that had been
characteristic of them iu their official
capacity. Their simple epitaph is
the following inscription: “Here con
tinues the repose of tho Darlington
Board of Health.”
Excursion to Augusta.
On Thursday, July 0, there will be
an excursion from Gibson, N. C. to
Augusta, Ga. Tho train will pass

rate of $1.50.

CIcbmoii College,
So fur ns wc are able to judge the
trustees of Clemson College have
made a good choice in electing Pro
fessor Craighead president, and the
selection of such a successful teacher
will do much tb make this institution
a success. For several years Professor
Craighead has filled, with marked
ability, one of tho chairs at Wofford
College, and his departure from that
place will be very much regretted by
all the friends of the college. The
sel-ctioii of a man for this important
position, from any other profession,
would under existing circumstances
have been unwise, and it speaks well
for the intelligence of the trustees
that they should have taken a trained
and successful teacher to be placed
at the head of an institution from
which eo much good is expected.
Going to Columbia.
Rev. W. A. Guerry, who has been,
rector of tbs Episcopal church at this
place ever since its organization, has
been elected by the vestry of Trinity
Episcopal church in Columbia to
succeed Dr. Capers, who has recently
been elected assistant Bishop of the
diocese. Trinity church has one of
the largest and most intelligent con
gregations in the State, and Mr.
Gnerry’s election is a high compli
ment to him and a just recognition
of his ability and zeal. His departure
to a larger field of work will be
sincerely mourned by the members of
the Episcopal church, both in
Florence and Darlington, and also by
many friends that belong to other
churches. Mr. Guerry is only thirty-
two years old.
Keep Boring.
It is a matter of profound regret
that both of our sister towns,
Florence and Marion have met with
failure in their efforts to have a
bountiful supply of pure water.
After going down very deep no good
stream of water lias licen fiipjicd and
the expense of boring the wells will
bring no return. It seems very
strange that Darlrngtbn which is
more elevate* than either of these
towns should have struck an
abundant supply after going dowii
only 025 feet. There is nothing so
■conducive to good health as lino
water, ami this well has been of in
calculable benefit to the town in this
way. We sincerely trust that our

Confederate Stab's of America
The convention of delegates from
the diffnent states assembled in New
Oaleaus, June 10, 1880, effected a
general organization known aj the
“United Confederate Veterans.” It
is designed as an asssociatiou of all
the bodies of ex-Confedernte Veter-
aud and Sailors throughout the
Uoiou. The convention adopted a
constitution and did me the great
honor "to elect me Genera', which po
sition 1 accept with peculiar gratifi
cation. Preliminary to the issue of
any orders I wish to cull general at
tention to tho
OBJECTS OF THIS ASSOCIATION,
and to enlist in their accomplishment
the active co-operation not only of
every survivor of Southern armies,
but also that large contingent of sons
of veterans, who, too young to have
received the baptism of lire, have
nevertheless received with you the
baptism of suffering and sacrifice.
The first article of the constitu
tion of the association declares: “The
object and purpose of this organiza
tion will be strictly social, literary,
historical and benevolent. It will
endeavor to unite in a general feder
ation all associations of the Confed
erate veteran, soldiers and sailors
now in existence or hereafter to be
formed; to gather authentic data for
an impartial history of the war be
tween the ctates; to preserve the
iclioa or mementoes of tne same: to
cherish friendship that should exist
among the men who have shared
common dangers, common suffering
and privations; to care for the dis
abled and extend a helping hand to
the needy; to protect the widow and
orphan and to make and preserve the
record of the services of every mem
ber, and as far as possible, of those
us in eternity.
The last article provides that
neither discussion of political or re
ligious subjects nor any political ac
tion shall be permitted in the organ
ization and any association violating
that provision* shall forfeit its mem-
cultivate national as well as South
ern fraternity and will condemn nar
row miudeduess and prejudice and
passion, and cultivate that broader,
higher and nobler sentiment, which
would write on the grave of every
soldier who fell on either side:
“Here lies an American hero, a mar
tyr to the right as his conscience con
ceived it."’
t;ENKKAL OlUiANIMATION.
I rqjoice that a general organiza
tion too long neglected has at last
been perfected. It is a brotherhood
which all honorable men must ap
prove and which Heaven itself will
bless. I call upon you therefore to
•to organize in every state and com
munity where ex-Confederates live
and rally to the support of the high
and peaceful objects of the “United
Confederate Veterans,” and move
forward until by the power of the or
ganization and persistent effort your
beneficent and Christian purposes
are fully accomplished.

The Story of (he Horrible Crime
Retold—Acqiiiltai on (be Plea of
Insanity.
Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Miss
Julia Force was put on trial today
for the murder of her two sisters last
February. The family is one of tine
connections and social standing. Miss
Force planned the murder carefully,
and after having committed it walked
to police head(|uarters and surrender
ed. She had kept for a year or more,
aud all through it appeared her in
tention of some time killing her sis
ters.
Comparatively little trouble was
experienced in getting a jnry. The
prisoner entered the court room with
the widow of ex-Govrnor Conley.
She is defended by Smith, Glenn &
Smith, Secretary Hoke Smith’s law
firm, aud John Hardeman, a cousin.
Secretary Smith’s partners are asso
ciate counsel. Solicitor Charles Hill
represented the State. Mias Force’s
mother and two brothers were in
court, sitting near the prosecuting
attorney. Bishop Kinloch Nelson,
of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia,
was a spectator and subsequently a
witness.
The most important witness called
by the prosecution, and the most in
teresting, was John C. Olmstead. He
was acquainted with the two sisters
who were killed aud with Miss Julia
Force. He was called to the house
soon after the murder and made the
examination of the bodies. He has
frequently visited Miss Force since
she was arrested aud talked with her
as to the motives and causes of the
crime. He testified to conversations
said: “Mv
first iuterviei. with her after the kif*
iiug was on the following morning at
police headquarters. Nobody vtas
present but Miss Juiiu Force and
myself. She told me she had done
the shooting, and gave two accounts
of the killing of Miss Minnie—one,
that the shot was fired just as Miss
Minnie turned her head after being
spoken toby herself (Miss Julia)and
the other that she (Miss J ulia) was
in front of Miss Minnie when the
shot was tired. [The first account ia
the one consistent with the location
6f the wound.] 8he had to remove
them, she said, on account of unhap
piness at home—that her brothers
j bad not treated her right.”
