THIS FRAUDS IN OAKLING? TON. Some Details of the Rascalities Perpetrated There. Special to the State. Darlington, Nov. ll-The State board of canvassers will have au opportunity of seeing what practices were indulged in to make Darlington county, whether or not, go for the dominant element in the recent elec? tion. Wheo free men are delibe? rately disfranchised-nothing . more or less-it is not to be expected that they should tamely submit. From every precinct in our county where the Conservatives had a majority the cry of fraud comes and it is not even singular that the frauds frauds were everywhere of the same kind. At Darlington the boxes were up-stairs and a long, narrow passage led to them. ? small door, opened about eighteen inches only, with a desk placed behind it, was the only way to enter and leave the room, this arrangement crowding the voters and retarding alike their entrance and their exit. The managers were snail like and it was almost an impossibility for the work to have been done any slower A Tillman ite stood at this narrow entrance and gazed as long as he pleased at a simple little registration ticket be? fore he decided whether or not he would allow the ' voter to enter. About 10 per cent of the voters here were not allowed to vote after they had been admitted into the presence of the managers. Any pretext was good enough to suffice for their not allowing a man to cast his ballot, though it was . noticeable that this disposition ap? plied entirely to anti-Ringstens. In many cases changes liad been made on the registration." certificate, but these changes had not been entered o?? %he boks: Io some cases the voter was not allowed to vote, be? cause the titles io the property where he livedjwd chaiiged banda, though his residoafce was sfefted pn The certi? ficate, ?^?e^nf?gnl?t citizen disfranchised because the managers j differed with him as to where "his place/ ' as stated on his certif?cate, w??M Itrr* Iii*'* .t Ti-*i!. The only way to proceed in onar derry and quiet manner wasto&H in line and wait your turn, and this was quietly and resolutely done The. line was never over a hunted feet 1OB? jf%<*ftt idea of some of the me|ow^n|j|e| cai Jber gained when jieJitera! fcc* ia ?tated that men, at 'S:4M c^e?ock, distant about sixty feet from the polls, were at last at half-past 2 o'clock, allowed to cast their vote or to be disfranchised, as the managers saw ?t to decide. At Society Hill and Mechanicsville, some of the managers appeared upon . the scene armed with rifles. At Lydia and Lamar, two Tillmanite precincts, the vote was about the same as was voted here and was three or four times as large as the Society Hill vote. Leavensworth is a small country precinct, with oue? store, and yet about as many votes were polled there as were allowed at the flourishing town of Darlington. One of the Tillmanite managers at the Congressional box voted his registration certif?cate and time was called long enough for to recover what was almost a useless arl ide here that day in the hands of an anti Ring8ter. In this case, however, the box was opened and the document fished out and then the little game continued. The whole business here was farci? cal, unfair, infamous, and nothing will be left undone that can show up the methods that were practiced. The whole thing will be contested and the men who will make the affidavits are among the best men of our county and come from various sec? tions. The intolerable methods were shown and disgrace enough of them? selves, but the men here do not pro? pose to be disfranchised by a set of demagogues and tamely submit. If nothing else is accomplished, cold facts will be made public and the State and the rest of the world can see fairly and impartially the means employed to disgrace our State and bring offices to men whose names are a reproach and dishonor to any people. I. E. N. One of the most ancient examples of fiction in the world is a manuscript DO?? reposing in the British museum. It is a roma ace entitled "The Tale of Two Brothers." It is written on nineteen sheets of papyrus, io a fine hieratic band, and it was written some 3,200 years age by a Tbebao scribe named Ennaoa. He was librarian of the palace to Kio g M eren ptah, the suppos? ed Pharaoh of the Exodus; and he appears to have writteo the tale hy order of the treasurer for the enter- ' taionent of the crown prince, Seti-Seti II. This prince has sigoed bis name in two places on the beek of the manu? script, these being probably the only autograph signatures of any Egyptian king which have come down to our time. This most venerable and pre? cious document was purchased in Italy by Mme. d'Orbiney who sold it in 1857 to the authorities of British museum^'and it is now known as the d'Orbiney paprus. General Cassius Marcellus Clay, of Kentuckey, aged 84, on Saturday last married a young lady scarcely out of ber teens. She was an orphan, whom Gen. Clay was educating. Gen. Clay was Lincoln's minister to Russia. I The Dispensary Profits. The report of Dispenser Epperson for the quarter ending October 31st, as submitted to the Board of Control at the regular meeting on Saturday, showed the fallowing sales and pro6ts : Gross sales for quarter $7,482.72. Cost of goods at invoice price 5,989.45. Gross Profits 1,493.27. Expenses deducted 1,006.25. Net profits for city and County $487.02. To Charleston on Bicycles. The longest distance run, on record, by Sumter wheelm?n was made last Sunday. Messrs. Willie Moran, Harry W. Hood and Robt. T. Carr, rode from Sumter to Charles? ton on their bicycles. They rode along the side of the Central and North Eastern Rail? road track, leaving here at 7 a. m. and ar? riving in the "City by the Sea," at 8 p.m. They had to carry their wheels on their shoul? ders and walk across the four mile Santee trestle. They say that their trip was very pleasant and devoid of mishap. They spent a very pleasant night in Charleston and returned to Sumter Monday morning. These wheelmen would have reached Charleston much sooner, but when they reached Gourdin's on the North Eastern R. R., they took to the country road and had ridden 8 miles before discovering that they were on the wrong road, and they had to ride back, which makes 16 miles that they bad ridden out of the way. This of course delayed them a great deal. A Brave Man Scared. In the Sunday Nines1 of Nov. 11th, "Vivid Stones of the War or Reminiscenses of a Confederate Veteran," the following joke is told on Sumter County's generous and popular Clerk of Court. Every one who knows or bas ever heard of Col. Graham will agree with the author that a braver and truer citizen and soldier than Col. Graham never drew breath. "During the month of May, 1862, our regiment, Kershaw's was doing duty upon the Cbickahominy, our company, D, was on guard at the old Grape Yipe bridge, and the men were pretty well broken down and fag? ged ont. Jim Graham, our company color bearer, but who would always got on any duty that was needful, bad been up nearly all night, it was raining, and lay down a little wbilebefore day. . He was on the bare ground with his oilcloth stretched over him.

Thousands of dollars worth of pro? perty have been destroyed by forest fires io West Tennessee.

BOY ROBINSON STILL LIVES ! n? Had Gone to Eutaw Springs For His Health. Wben the news from Vanees, published io Th* Item, came by letter to Ber. C. C. Scott that Roy Robinson waa dead, many people doubted it and thought the letter was written at Roy's instigation as a ruse to throw the officers of the law off the track, and to elude arrest. These suspicions have been too fully confirmed for big-mouth Roy's good. As has already been stated in this paper, Ass't- Chief of Police A. H. Weeks and Mr. Davie Winn went to Vanees Saturday to identify Roy's dead bod?, and report to the Coroner or Sheriff of Orangeburg Coun? ty- When these two gentlemen reached Vanees they heard that instead of being dead, Roy had stolen four dollars from an old colored mao aod treated himself to a bat and a pair of socks and bad gone over to Eutawville. Messrs. Weeks and Winn then procured a team and drove over to Eutawville, and when they arrived there Roy had been arrested and was being taken to the office of a trial justice for trial for stealing the money. Ass't Chief Weeks, however, secured $3.65 of the money from Roy and made Roy give op the new hat and socks to the old man, who was satisfied to drop the case and let Weeks take Robinson over to Vanees, which was dooe by ?yiog him with a rope to the buggy and making him walk behind. Roy tried to work a little ruse on the officer to get him to untie him when going through a swan\p, but the policeman from Sumter was on to Roy's bluff and did not bite, and Roy said, ';Cap'n youre got dis nigger for true," and admitted that be only wanted to get free for a moment so that he could bolt again into the swamp. However, the party got to Vance?, and soon after the Sheriff from Orangeburg with the Corooer and a jury of inquest arrived, hav? ing driven 28 miles through tbecounty tomeet Messrs. Weeks and Winn to exhume Roy's body, to identify same, and have an inquest. Roy was in the depot with the officer and a crowd, but was band-cuffed and was amus? ing the crowd by opening his mouth, singing and praying, when the Sheriff and his crowd arrived. Ass't Chief Weeks and the Sheriff exchanged courtesies, and the former duly reported Mr Wino and himself as there for the purpose of identifying Roy's dead body. The Ass't Chief theo surprised the Sheriff and the jury by poiuting out the band-cuffed Roy sitting in the corner as the dead body that they bad succeeded in identifying. The Sheriff opened bis eyes and gazed at Roy, and taking in the situation, broke into a hearty laugh. The Sheriff had a warrant for Roy, seot to bim before Roy's reported death, and having it with bim, be immedi? ately arrested Roy and deputized Ass't Chief Weeks to take bim to Sumter County and turn him over to Sheriff Sanders.' lt has been ascertained that Roy bad an accomplice in a colored man, who wrote the letter for him to Sumter, giving the news of b?3 death. The whole business was a pretty shrewd piece of work on Roy's part, but Sheriff Sanders and Policeman Weeks are too sly to be taken in on any such game and would opt be satisfied until Roy's dead body was placed ip evidence. Mr. Davie Winn was of course very much relieved when he saw Roy alive and unharm? ed, as the matter bad worried bim, very naturally, to a great extent, jg Policeman Weeks brought Roy to Sumter cn the 7.25 C. S. k N. R. R. passenger trun Saturday night .and lodged'bini in jail. Roy's ruse, lid not work, bat he. put the Sheriff of Orangeburg County and Messrs. Weeks and Winn to a lot of trouble, and the Coontie3 of Sumter and Orangeburg to some expense, and bas created a sensation. Roy's accomplice who wrote the letter should be, and doubtless will be, arrested. DeBpite Roy's pork failure and the trouble he has put different people to, there is scarce? ly any one who is not glad that he was not shot, for Roy is not at hean a bad man, but has al" Ays been considered a good natured, harmless fellow, and this, bis first difficulty, may teach bim a lesson, and when be is once more a free man be may do better. Roy says he stole the bog Saturday night and claims to have preached next day, Sun? day, and took for his text, "Thou shall not Steal," and he says when he was. preaching be thought of that poor little red hog be bad buried in the swamp the night before. Roy claims to be preacher, and always carries a text book with bim, but we don't believe be preached in Sumter just the same. Roy. also says that since leaving Sumter he had evil forebodings. He dreamed that Albert WeVks was coming after bim, and sure enough, "de Cops did come." ROBBERY. Show Window Smashed on Hain Street. About 2'o'clock Monday morning policeman Peter Gallagher on the Liberty street beat called Ass't Chief Weeks and policeman John Barwick, who were eating lunch in police headquarters and reported that be beard the sound of broken glass from towards the side door of Ryttenberg's store on Court House square. Policeman Barwick ran over and secured a lantern from Delgar reel squad station and assisted by tbe other two police? man began a search. Barwick jumped the fence of Z. E Walker's lot and examined the back door and windows to all of the stores in that direction, but found nothing wrong. He then examined al! of tbe back lois io tbs busi? ness portion of the city with the other police? man, Weeks aod Gallagher. At daylight it was discovered by Weeks that oue of the front show windows of R. W. Durant&Son'3 bardware store, on Main street, bad beeu smashed in the right-hand corner, and four revolvers taken out through the broken pane rf glass.
