It is an excellent pub lication of its class and worthy of success. A business exchange throws out the following business hint to busi ness men: if yon haye any business with a man of business, call at his place of business, during the hoars of business, conduct your business like a man of business, then go abont J our business so that the man of nsiness can attend to his business. That’s business. A correspondent of the Charlotte, K. 0., Democrat says that this is “locust year,” and that they will be up la-tween April 15 uud May 1.

Mr. Cooley is very popular mid obliging and hits untile many friend* in Darlington CapL Blackwell will return to Ins former occupation, farming. He will be very much missed from the town, although he will not leave his present residence. The Darlington correspondent to the Hartsville Messenger, says: Daring the recent trouble at Dar lington it was reported that Mr. G. J. Brown, former editor of the Iteform Sentinel, had made an affi davit to the effect that the con stables were to blame for the whole trouble. Mr. Brown denies the charge and says he knows nothing whatever about the affidavit in ques tion, and that, were be to make such a charge, it would le wronging bis friends. The reports of Generals Farley and Itichbourg are too voluminous for us to publish, but a careful perusal of them makes it very evi dent that Governor Tillman was very anxious from the first, for a collision to take place between the malitia and the citizens, and that his purpose was defeated by the for bearance of the people and the wise aad conciliatory course pursued by the commanding officers. Any fair- minded man who will carefully read these reports will be unable to form any other conclusion.

Scarborough, whose affidavit appears below, makes a very serious charge against Mr. J. N. Kirven, a member of the Board of Control, and one that should be im mediately investigated. As a mere matter of justice Mr. Kirven must have the opportunity of meeting the charge, and until then we forbear from making any comments, except to say that if he cannot exonerate himself some other man ought to be put in bis place. Onr columns are open to him and we will be glad to publish anything he wishes to say iu regard to Mr. Scarborough’s charge: STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, *1 County of Darlington. / Personally appeared before me H. Y. Scarborough, who on oath says that on last Wednesday or Tuesduyi the 10th or 11th Instant, J> P. Kirven, a member of the County Board of Con trol for Darlington county, came out one and a half-miles from town to deponent’s place and approached de ponent and asked deponent to make application for the position of dispen ser for Darlington county, which de ponent at Ant declined to do and gave as his reason that the board had refused his application as clerk Iu the dispen sary amt he did nut want to lie n fuaed again. Kirven thereupon said that he knew the board had refused him hut that he (Kirven) did that in the interest of Ida nephew, King, and the teiai'd now wanted de|ntleilt as dis penser Deponent (lien consented in die ins applies!ion aad Kirven said if deponent would give him Ten Dollars a month nut of his salary he would guarantee deponent the position amt would go on ills bond and they could run the dispensary to suit IheniSelvts.

Sworn to before me this Kith day of April, lk!)l. W. Al.BF.KT PAKKOTT, [Seal] Clerk of Court D. C. The Question tf Css4 Roads. Some time ago in speaking of the importance of improving our public roads and of keeping them iu good condition, we suggested that the use of wide-tired wheels would go a long ways in the direction of accomplish ing this much desired end. The suggestion was also made that the front and rear axles ought to be of different lengths iu order to prevent them ntnnitig in the same track. After the article was published we found that this was the plan adopted in several of the countries of Eurotte and had been found to work well. In a week or two we will publish an article, from a Boston paper, on this important subject iind trust that it will be given a careful perusal. It is a matter of paramount importance that we should devise some method to improve our roads, and the man wl o cun suggest some practicable plan to accomplish this result will be a public benefactor. There is one thing, however, iu connection with this subject to be considered, uud that is the absolute necessity of arousing public seutimeut iu regard to its importance. As the case stands at present the very people who suffer most from bad roads, the farmers, are ruining what few good roads we have by plowing tkem up. This has become such a widespread evil that good mnny public roads can’t be traveled without the wheels of the vehicles coming into contact with freshly plowed ground. Where the custom of doing this is pre valent the county commissioners are practically powerless uud an abate ment of the nuisance must come from an improvement in public sentiment The Stralghtsats Defeated. Last Monday afternoon the base ball season was opened by it game between the Straightouts and the Athletics, of the town, at Academy green. The Straightouts showed up well, bnt the Athletics were too much for them in all round ball-playing. The following is the score: Straight- outs, 14; Athletics, 10. Time of game, two boors. Early umpire. The two teams will cross bats again this afternoon at 4 o’clock and those who attend can expect a close game. Good order will prevail and the ladies are especially invited to attend. HOW* ABOUT THE FAHK? The list is still being circulated for subscribers to the capital stock of the Baseball Association, and every one that is enterested in the National sport should take one share if not moiT. We must have a park to insure good games. Marfier la CkeslerfleM. Hartsville Messenger. Irvin Freeman, a white man was found last Sunday at C.

Will Weatherford and Will Sanders left this week for parts unknown. We suppose that they got tired of Tilllman’s laws. Mr. J. T.

J»t Msrriblc. Hum ter Freeman. Tillman’s conduct in declaring that an insurrection existed in two counties and ordering out the miii- lary forces and his iucendiary speeches during the so culled “in surrection” and his effort now to arm large bodies of fanners, ordering arms from Northern factories, etc. gives natiirally the impression at the nioitey centres that this is a bi.d territory to let money into for indus trial matters at this time. Con sequently many persons are going to suffer needlessly, only because of Tillman’* inulignauce, for bread during the siinu . In fact it is alarutiug and J stressing to con- lemplate what is likely to follow Tillniiin’sfullyuiid Kitrugts. For our selves we would be willing to make any sacrifices were a great principle of future good government at stake, bat to have to bear all these ills because of one man’s wicked heart, with no good resulting, is just hor rible.
