It commenced here about 10 o’clock Sunday night and raged ail night with steadily increasing violence, continuing with almost unabated fury until a late hour Monday. Those who knew say that its like was never seen here before. The wind blew a perfect gale for twelve hours and rain fell in torrents during the entire time. Large trees were uprooted in every direction, fences were blown away, store fronts were damaged, sign boards were scattered about, and limbs and the foliage of trees are littering every street and sidewalk in town. The acid cham ber of the Darlington Phosphate Company is a total wreck, which fortunately was covered with a cy- clono policy to the full amount of the damage suslained. The house occupied by Mr. J. II. Bulcken bad a tree blown across it about 2 o’clock at night, ono of the limbs entering the sleeping apai-iments. Mr. Bulcken and family were forced to leave thier home at thio hour, going out into the storm to seek shelter elsewhere. The electric light poles were badly damaged, but Mr. Forman hustled and bsd the lights turned on Monday night. The damage all over town is very extensive, but nearly FROM (TIH AGO.

Before attempting anything like a description of the many wonders of the great Fair.'It may not he amiss to say something in regard to the great city of Chicago, and its su perior advantages for holding an exposition of this kind. A few of onr other large cities may, which is, howe\er, a matter of doubt, possess efjiiul hotel and transportation fa cilities, but it is very certain that Chicago is the only one with a park of the proper topographical features, and of sufficient capacity to contain, without undue crowding, the im mense buildings that were required to contain the well nigh numberless exhibits from our own and every other country on the face of the earth. Leaving the fair out of con sideration, the city itself is well worthyja visit and for a place of its age has a surprising number of objects of interest, for despite the hurry and rush of business its citizens and public oflickls have accomplished a great deal in tho way of beautifying and adorning. Its libraries, if they have not already done so, will soon outstrip New l?ork, audits wealthy citizens have been most generous in their endowment of these great re- ceptables of human thought and knowledge. There are several thou sand acres in parks, and while the land is all level they have been con- all is of small proportions, compara-1 vet ted into gardens of surpassing tively, and can oc remedied soon, j lovulitie’s.

Its Wonderful Natural Results aud Its DevelepHeut Described— Its Agricultural Possibilities. Mr. Richard II. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimo r e, wriles as follows on the wonderful natural resources of the South, and the rapid development now in progress in that section : The manner in which the South is standing the present financial pres sure will prove a greater advertise ment than that section has ever yet had. It is an advertirtment that commands the attention of the entire business world, and its result will be worth more millions to the South, than even the greatest enthusiast would dare to put ihto cold ngures. Many people, even leading financiers and general busineuf men, in the North and West and in Europe, nev er having fully undentood the South or its resources, nor appreciated the solidity of its pregrotopf late years, have been skeptical aa to its desira bility as a place for investment. They have not believed, because they never investigated the subject, that the South poseses a combination of advantages for the support of a dense population, and for the creation of of wealth uneaqualled elsewhere on earth. As broad as is this statement, its truthfulness can easily be seen. It js the only country ip the world which comVueson jucq*large scale, raid so admirably situated as to be That iron has been depressed for sev eral years, with small profits to the maker, does not alter the fact that the iron industry is one of tho great est wealth creators that human skill has ever devised. Coal aud iron, whose production and consumption are said to measure the civilatiou of a nation, will add to the progress and the wealth of the South as much more than they have added to Great Britin’s and Venusylvaniu’s, as the supply in these is exceeded by the supply in the South. About oue- half of all the sthuding timber in the United States is in the fourteen Southern States. Its utilization can, therefore, create a wood-working in dustry covering everything from a clothespin to the finest and costliest hirniture—greater than the entire wood-working industries of the whole country. These four great in dustries—coal, iron, cotton, lumber- vast as they are, do not by any means represent the full extent of Southern manufacturing superiority. They are merely four corner stones in the ? reat building of Southern industry or which nature has supplied a va riety and abundance of materials, the like of which cannot be found elsewhere. Measureless as the manu facturing possibilities of the •North or the West is a further and more emphatic evidence of its strength. The fact is attracting world-wide attention. It has con vinced people who never before be lieved in the soundness and perma nency of Southern progress that this section is the beat place in America for investment. When business ugains revives the South will be the first to feel the full benefit of it. Money from the Foist aud from FJurope will go into cotton mills, into iron works, into woodworking enter prises, and into all the varied branches of manufacturing for winch the South has unlimited raw mate rials, more freely than ever in the past. In the South, instead of in the West, the surplus capital of the North will henceforth find its most profitable field. SCHOOL COMM ISSIONERS.

It is quite handsome, and will add greatly to tpe appearance of our growing city. ‘ ‘ Miss Zadfl Hughson, of Sumter, who has been the guest of Miss Rosa McCown for two weeks, was called homo suddenly last Friday by the illbesi of her mother. We regret the cause that ended her plelfriut etey with us and trust she will soon be able to return. Mr. W. L. Pierson, formerly of BeiniettiviHe, but who has been in hnsinesa. hire with Mr. James M. Mason for some time, will engage in business here on'Ms own account this season. Mr. Pierson will deal in jewelry, aud he knows there is no better town in the State than Dar- lipgtop. Captain W. C. Coker, who re cently moved into his new residence with his family, was paid a graceful compliment by the Coker band, which was named in compliment to Capt. Coker. This band, which is •ne of the finest, if not the best, ever organized in Darlington, sere nadpd Cant- Cqfcer aud his family one night last week. The members tried themselves on this occasion and made music worth having. Another deer drive was organized last Friday and this time two fine deer were brought home. Mr. J. M. James killed one, and his brother, Mr, & R,'James, killed the other. Korn# firing was doue by other*, but 41 they fired at fleeing shadows, of courM nothing wu killed, though careful search was made. The party returned Saturday and several of our citisens had fine venison for their Sunday dinner. Professor Patterson Wardlaw, su perintendent of our graded sbhools, and the board of trustees are now completing all work necessary for the opening of our school. An im portant meeting was held last F ri- day and new teachers were elected to fill vacancies. Among those se lected fpr this important work were; Misses Katherine Ashley, of Trou- ton, Clara Johnston, of Elko, Mary Coit, of Cheraw and Amelia John- ‘lon, of Union. These ladies all CQme. highly recommended, and with Mr. L. G. Glenn, as principal, and Misses Bessie McLeod, Sallie With ers and Lizzie Falls, who did such acceptable service last year, we will have our school in good hands. A oonveuient office, which has been much needed for some time, is now being built for Prof. Wardlaw. These schools are of great impor tance to the best interests of Dar lington and we arc glad to see that this fact is appreciated.

Seven Seperate Propositions of (be Silver Men Defeated ky Over* whelming Majorities. Washington*, August 28.—The knowledge that the day would be de voted to the dreary roll calls, which though relating to the most impor tant <|uestions which has attracted the attention of the country for the past quarter of a century, are not of an exciting interest to the ordinal^ • spectator in the galleries, had no ef fect ui>on the audience this morning. Long before the noon hour of meet ing the public galleries were jammed with earnest listeners. When, at a quarter before noon, the reserved gal leries were opened, there was a rush made to secure good seats, and in a moment every branch was filled with ladie^in summer costumes, who ma nipulated fluttering fans in order to temper the muggy heat, which per meated the chamber. The House was called promptly to order at 12 o'clock, and the chaplain invoked the special devine guidance on the members at this critical mo ment. The Wilson bill having been read, Bland offered his first amendment— that of free coinage at the present ratio of 1C to 1—and it was defeated, by a vote of yeas 124, nays 326, amid [applause from the anti-silver men, more majority than ell (Dem.) of South uhliivi, iu favor cf free silver, wm ”t IT'.red with Graham (Ucm.) of New >rk, oppowi to it.

Mrs. Jennie High is visiting at Ansonville. N- C. Mr. It. H. Ham killed a snake in the picker room last week. Miss Loula Douglas spent Sunday with relatives near DovesvilL. Joe Tinimotns, of Charleston, was here a couple of days last week. Mr. Lee Smith has gone to Mul lins to spend a few days with his family. Miss Eugenia David is visiting in Richmond and Roberson counties, Nosth Carolina. Mr. M. P. Parnell aud Tom San ford have gone to Spartanhuig to work in Spartan cotton mill. The wind storm blew down a great many large trees and fences in this vicinity last Monday morning. Mr. Tumor Moody brought his lit tle child to Mr. W. T. Cook for treatment lust Friday, and Saturday night the little one died. The re mains were carried to Riverdale for interment on Sunday. Mr. J. Monroe Best entertained his many friends with another very enjoyable German lust Saturday night. Thi fqllowing were a few of the distinguished guests present; J. E.

The German was led by Mr. Jim IBs, and the music I was furnished by Mr. Best and sou.! The danoe was kept up until the wee little hours of the nigh’, when all enjoyed a pleasant stroll back to factory hill. est one being the Masonic Temple, which is twentytwo stories high, aud some of them are quite lofty. From this they come down to six teen, fourteen, and gradually descend to about five or six. Fifty years ago Chicago was a small town with only a few thorn sand inhabitants, and as late as 1871, the time of the great fire, tin popu- tion was about 330,000,' while at present It numbers oyer a million people within its limits. In length it is thirty tpilos and width abont twenty; Riding within the city is very cheap, and one may ride several hours for 15 cents. To give an il lustration of the great area the city covers, the fact may be mentioned that a few nights ago there was a b'g fire in South Chicago, which burned over one hundred houses, and the people in this part of the city knew nothing of it until they read an ac count of it in the morning papers. The car facilities are so good that, despite the immense crowds attend ing the fair, there has been no diffi culty in transporting them. In our next letter we will speak of one or two departments of the fair and try and give the readers ot the Herald some idea of the many wonders that are to be seen. W. D. W. New Jewelry Firm.

Miss Sadie Dargan, has returned from a vjeit w Saluda, North Caro- lir»i section, almost' identical with the climate of Canada. By reason of ite long osean and gulf coast it hue ac cess to the markets of the world, which forever secures for all ite pro ducts the lowest freight rater. Con trast these resources and advantages with those of any other section of this country. The foundation of the enormous wealth of Great Britan is largely artificial. Nature has given it but little pn which to build." Ite imports all of its cotton, much of ite iron ore and an average of about $7- 50,000,000 a year for foodstuffs, and it mines its coal at a depth af 1,S00 to 2,000 feet, with the cost constant ly increasing. But with all these disadvantages its cotton flianufactu- rjng and ite ooaFahd iron interests have created enormous wealth. Up on these, in fact, the prosperity and progress of Great Britan nave been built up. In New England we see a duplication of Great Britan. With out natural rcscources, with a barren soil, dependent upou other sections for its coal, iron, lumber and food stuffs, it has imported ite ra\y mater ials and yet made itself the mauufac- turiug centre of the United States. Pennsylvania, with coal and iron as the basis of ite industrial life has developed ite Manufacturing interest to such an extent that their annual product exceeds in value the total product of manufactures inthefour- tceu Southern States- In the North west timber has made several States. CONCENTRATION OF RAW MATERIALS. In the South we find all these raw materials cSfccentrated in one section. Rasing three-fourth of the world’s cot ton crop, the South is no longer con tent to ship ite raw cotton elsewhere, but is rapidly increasing the number of its cotttou mills, having quadru pled this industry in the last ten years. No one any longer questions the fact that the South ean nianu facture cotton goods at a lower cost | than either New England or Great Britan. The infant industry of a few years ago is daily growing strong er. How is it possible for New Eng land, which imports its cotton, im ports its foodstuff with which it feeds its people, to compete in cotton manufacturing with the South, which raises the cotton, which has an un limited supply of cheap coal for mills that do not use water power, though ite unutilized water powers are great enough to run all the cotton spindles in the world and which produces every variety of foodstuff at a low cost? In one case we see that every thing must bo assembled at the fac tory nt large expense for right and miscellaneous charges, while in the other everything is practically pro duced at the factory door.

Emitting. t ted articles of special mention, Texas and Arkansas, two States I Qtwl a ^ r ;‘ whose development is mainly of late years, the South, with all its increase in grain production siuc i 1880, only raises about the sane amount q| qoju and wheat that it raised thirty years ago. Then the population of the whole South was in round figures 10,000,000; now it is about 20,000,000. This is no re flection on Southern agricultural progress, it is only au illustration to show how great are the agricultural possibilities of that section, as dem onstrated by the results accomplished before the war. Comparing‘the South’s farm pro ducts of 1880 with those of the bal ance of the country, we have a very interesting table: ! Yield iu the Balanc of Crops, 1880. South. country. !

Sweet po bu 1 38,000,000 3,600,000 Sugar, lbs... 604,000,000 None. Thus over thirty years ago the South produced all the cotton, rioe aud sugar of the country, the great staples usually regarded ns the ihaiu crops of that section, nearly one half of the eutire corn crop of the country, 351,000,000 pounds of to bacco out of a total of 429,000,000 pounds, and 38,000,000 bushels of sweet potatoes out of a total of 41,600,000 bushels in the whole country. The disastrous struggle of 1801-0-3 so completely bankrupted the Sou‘h that its farm interests are only getting back to the position held prior to 1860. INHERENT STRENOTH OK THE sOt'Tll.

But the Speaker ruled that thta was not in order pending the demand for the engrossment and the third reading of the bill; and the bill was accordingly ordered to a third read ing. Then Baily raised tho point that there should be a division of tho question. One part of it repealed the purchasing clause and the. other, retained the parity clause.
