Any persons who desire to con
tribute to the cause set forth in a
commnuicatiou from Rev. Jno. W.
Davis, can do so by handing their
quota to Rev. J. G. Law, at Dar-
liugton, who will forward the same.
Darlington ought to have a warm
place in its heart for her noble son,
who is making such an excellent
record as a missionary and as a
man among the Chinese. It is for
this reason that the letter is made
public, as there are perhaps many
who are not Presbyterian*, yet who
would desire to show their appre
ciation for tbe missionary and bis
work.
The Baptist Church at Timmons
ville wishes to purchase anew or
gan. To assist- in this, that popu
lar melodrama,“The Idiot Witness,”

At Hartsville, last week, Col.
and Mrs. T. C. Law celebrated their
golden wedding. They were mar
ried fifty years ago at the residence
of Mr. T. E. Hart, Mrs. Law’s fath
er, about two miles from the pres
ent home of Col. Law, and for forty-
three years past, they have lived at
their present home. At their gol
den wedding there were present
eight children and twenty-three
grand children. Ten of their grard
children were absent Col. Law is
now in his 75tb., and Mrs. Law in
her 68th year, both in good health
and active lile. The celebration
was a pleasant one and was heartily
enjoyed by the united family and a
number of relatives, neighbors and
friends of the couple. Col. Law is
now among the oldest prominent
mec in our comity, and during bis
long life has set an example to old
and young ol a long life well spent.
X rs. G. Lawton Morgan, of
Savannah, has since July last, been
establishing circulating libraries
over tbe State, and lias up to this
time placed aliout 20 in active op
eration, one of these one at Florence
with 60 members. She is now in
Darlington canvassing the town,
and had, up to yesterday, enrolled
75 names. Tbe Franklin Square
Library Co., lias its headquarters
at Louisville, Ky. Their plan is to
place a certain number of books,
according to the number of subscri
bers, in each place where a club of
40 or upwards can be found. It
costs each member 81 for two years.
At tbe end ot that time tbe books
become the property of tbe dab,
and by pa\meut of $1 each again,
they get as many new books us at
first. A librarian is appointed and
a location sel cted, fir the two
years. For a dub of 40 there are
furnished 60 volumes of standard
works—history, science, j.oetn.fic
lion, etc. For the Darlington club,
Dr. J. A. Boyd has been selected us
librarian, with Mr. J. D Haynes
worth us assis'unt, the books plac
ed in Boyd’s drug store, and will be
open all the time. Mrs. Morgan
hopes to jet 150 members at this
place. This will give a beginning
of 170 volumes, 250 books, » itb a
new book each week for the two
years, a gratuitous contribution
from the Louisville Library Co. It
seems to us that this number of sub
scribers ought to be easily seemed
in a town of the dze of Darlington,
and could be done if each family
furnished two subscribers. If pos
sible the library will be opened
by Saturday or Monday, so it is im
portant that every one who desires
to join should do so at once, so as
to reap the full benefit of the sys
tem.
-—Sunil dipping in some parts of
our vicinity bas grown to be a hab
it ot such strong force that it is im
possible to find a hickory tree that
has not been strip;>edot its bark or
a blackgum that lias not been rob-
b* d of its limbs, for the purpose < f
making tooth brushes.
—We are sorry to learn that Mr.
Ward is going to leave'us for a
while, having already moved his
saw mill up near Darlington. We
hope he will prosper and become
enriched, so when be comes back be
will be more able to help build up
our town.
—The cave or den of a huge allig-
gator bas been found in Garner’s
mill pood, oat some thirty yards
from the water. This monster has
but eiie eye. having received a shot
in one of bis eyes. His name is
“Jim Anderson” and it is thought
that be is the only alligator in this
pond. Several parties went to dig
him up, but he was so thoroughly
hid that he could not be got at with
out a great deal of work.
