THE DARLINGTON NEWS, Tlll'USDAJf, AUGUST 5, 18S« ■ l DEVOITALD D EVAH*. EDITOR- The State Convention met yes lerday. At 7 o’clock last evening no news had been received as to nominations, and in the douhtfu 1 state of affairs, no definite predic tion conld be made Two communication a, one from Colombia and one from Florence, have been received at the News office in reply to articles published in the Florence Time$. It is contra ry tojournaiistic courtesy to pub lish articles in reply to articles pub lished in another paper, until it can be shown that the other paper would not publish them, and then, If of public interest, they HlionM be priuted. Both of the articles re ferred to are of public iutertht and upon the representation above stat ed, the News will give them publi cation. The News has been offend ed against in these particulars, but does not desire to return evil for evil. A good rain fell Monday after noon, and from reposts it extended over a large portion of the county. Comiugjust when it did, and fol lowed as it will be from the weath er indications, by other rains, the wet season will be worth thousands of dollars to the planters. The late dry spell injured crops iu many places, to a serious extent, causing late corn and the cotton to wilt and stop growth. These rains will cor rect these evils and our fanners now look for a full corn crop and a fair cotton yield, where the crops are clean. theTloraTfair. On Friday last the Floral Fair was held at the Fair (Irouuds. The intense beat of the preceding ten days was feared would iuiure the attendance. Very few came iu on the trains, but au unusual number arrived in vehicles, and when the gate receipts were counted, it was seen that a larger number of visi tors were present than at the last Fair. The Company has scored an other finaucial success. The ob ject of the Fair Company in bold ing the Floral Fair, has not been to add to their dividends, but to give exhibitors a chance to show those products which are out of season ia the Fall, to make the Fair a place of social gathering where the cilisensof Darlington and surround ing counties can meet with their friends, and to keep up the inter cat iu the work of the company. The small admission fee charged is to pa} premiums and expenses and this it bos always done. The day was fair, the sun shone with full brilliancy, a few floating clouds gave a hopeful sign of an early raiu and a cool breeze temper ed the excessive heat. The Darling ton String Band played all day and in the afternoon there was dancing iu the main hall. There were more pretty girls than have ever been seen at any Floral Fair, and the elders seemed iu fine spirits and heartily enjoyed the day. « The base ball :raze had taken possession of the ring, and in the absence of tbe challenged clubs, the Darlington players gave some fine work on tbe diamond field. Tbe exhibition of fruits, flowers and vegetables was good ; grapes, aieloRS and tomatoes being remark ably flue The bazaar, opened t>y the ladies of tbe Baptist Church, was well pa tronized, the dishes well served at a moderate price, and the net re ceipts were satisfactory.

M. ^talvey, J. M. Oliver, J. A. Mayo and S. Hickman. Alternates -•■C. P. Quattlebauin, 8. D. Jordan and J. P. Durham. The following resolution was adopted: * That tbe interests of Horry coun ty have been well attendi d to iu the National House of Representa tives, and that our delegates to the congressional convention Ire re quested to use all honorable means to secure the leuoininatiou of the present incumbent, the Hon. G. W. Dargan. « Survivors’ Re-union. On the 29th of July, the survi vors ot Co. E, 6th S. C. V., held a pleasant re union at the residence of Maj. J, L Coker, their first cap tain. Ceu. John Bratton, of Fair- field, once their colonel, afterwards their brigadier, was present by in vitation and gave a very interest ing account of the Battle of the Wilderness in which the 6th Regi ment participated with credit. Gen. Bratton’s eoinmaiid think him one of the best men in the Staie, and wonder why one so true and able Las not been entrusted with high cilice along with Hampton, Butler anil others. His presence at this re union added greatly to the pleas ure and profitableness of the occa sion. * After Gen. Bratton’s talk the sur vivors attended to the reading of the history of the company. Lt. Cannon read an account ot the bat tle oi Frazier’s Farm, and Major Coker read a history embracing the compaigns from April 1862 to Oc tober 1863, and giving accounts of the battles of Williamsburg. Seven Pines, Gains’ Mill, Second Manas sas, Boonsboro’, Sbarpsburg, Fred ericksburg, Suffolk and Lookout Valley. Altogether tbe occasion was one ot great interest and was heartily enjoyed. Consecration of the Colored Masonic Lodge. (By our Kpecial Reporter.) The enterprising and thrifty town of Darlington, on the fourth Tues day, ultimo, was suddenly charmed with sweet music from the Darling ton Brass Band, which it gave for the procession of thq consecration of the colored Masonic Lodge. The Grand Lodge of A. Y. M»ol South Carolina, headed by the G. D. M., Rev. J. E. Wilson, ot Char leston, came to Darlington on the I above named day and consecrated Friendship Lodge, No. 16, A. Y. M. Tbe consecration was public. The procession started frotn Mr. S. J. Keith’s hall and marched on the east side of the Public Square, then down Orange St. as far as Major Earle’s,' then to Pearl St., from thence to the Public Square, then to the Macedonia Baptist Church where the Lodge was consecrated. The following are the officers: D. M. Pierce, W. M. R. M. Nixon, S. W. B. W. Wingate, J. W. R. T. Hartlee, Secretary. A. Sanders, Treasurer. E. D. Fliun, S. D. P. C. Humbert, J. D. A. Brockinton and Taylor, Stewards. Jesse Williams, Tyler. I. P. Brockinton, Chaplain. After the consecration was car ried out according to the law of A. Y. Masons, tbe two lodges and the host of spectators, retired to tbe Town Hall where a grand festival was given, superintended by Mr. E. D. Flinn, assisted by Mrs. I. P. Brockinton, Mrs. Adam Bristow, Mrs. R. M. Nixon aad Miss Char lotte Sanders. The crowd was very lari-e, but peace and tranquility prevailea, and all went to their homes happy. D. M. P. On Saturday, July 23, Mr* A. S. Lesley, of Pickens, was bitten on the hand by a rattlesnake pilot. He immediately corded his arm. and Mrs. Lesley drew out with her mouth every particle of jioisoii, so that it gave him no further trou ble. Tribute of Respect. At the M. E. Church Souday- school at Cartersville, 8. C., on Sun day, July 11,1886, a committee was adpointed to draft suitable resolu tions as a tribute of respect to our deceased brother, Clinton G. John son. Whereas, it has pleased Almigh ty God to take from us a member of our Sunday school on earth to his reward in heaven, our friend and brother, Clinton G. Johnson, who died on Saturday, July 10, 1886, and, whereas, it is most becoming to this school, of which be was an obedient and studious scholar, and a devout Christian, to adopt suita ble resolutiona in honor to bis name. Therefore be it Beso/rod, That as a Sunday-school we realize a great loss, and as indi vidual members, a personal afflic tion in the death of one who pos sessed a kind heart and social na ture, a friend trne and tried, a brother beloved by all his brethren,' be was steadfast and unwavering iu bis devotion to the ufiurch and Sun- : day school. Rttolred, That our sympathy is ; herebj expressed for the bereaved ' family, for whom we invoke Divine j consolation. _ Retoletd, That a copy of these resolutions la* furnished the family ol the deceased and that a copy be spread cn the minutes of our Sun day-scbopl, and also lie published iu the Darlington News and & C. Advocate. Robert Peel, A. M. Newuekey, M. K. Horn, Committee. The 31 addle with Mexico and its Con sequences. Denver, Col., July 31.—A dis- patch fr»)iu El Paso, Texas dated last evening, says. The trial of Cutting is now hi pro gress at P.iso del Norte. It con sists merely ot a joint examination by tbe pr< scouting attorney and judge of the p.i; *-rs iu the case. It is expected that a decision will be rendered to inght, as the time tdlot- tad lor the trial expires to-morrow. It seems that the length of the trial is determined before the the trial begins, it is the expectation among lawyers that Cutting will be sentenced to one or two ,\tars’ im prisonment and taken at once totbe penitentiary at Chihuahua. Me dina ip also having his trial for raising a rumpus a few nights ago. Cm ting’s case has brought to light the hitherto unknown fact that the doctrine ot States rights is carried to au extreme limit in Mexico, and that tbe authorities at Chihuahua will brook no interference from the Federal Administration or even from President D as iiersoually. They will not even listen to friend ly suggestions As matters now stand Cutting will certainly booen- teuced to a long term ot imprison ment and carried to Chihuahua to serve out his term. Galveston, July 31.—A special to the Afctrs from Austin says: Governor Ireland having been ad vised of the snnender and execu tion ot Francisco Arresures, tele graphed to E. D. Lynn, Americau Consul at Piedras Negrass, for par ticulars, aud has received tbe fol- iug: Eagle Pass, July 30—You tele gram just recei veil. Francisco Ar rested by Deputy Sheriff Dias, at Eagle Pass, by ordet ot Sheriff Oglesb, ou the night ot the 26th iu slant He was handcuffed, and in fifteen minutes delivered to the Mexican ofticers across the Rio Grande River. Sheriff Oglesby claimed that he acted on the war rant of County Judge Uoftsletter, who saj s Oglesby persuaded him to sign the order for Arresures nr arrest. There were no papers for his ar rest from Mexico except a letter from Mondragon, captain of tbe State Rangers iu Cohara, who made a general charga of horse stealing against Arresures. A protest against being delivered to tbe Mex ican officials was made by Arresures who insisted that he would be kill ed by Mondragou bis pesoual ene my. He appealed to me for pro tection on the morning of July 27, and I at once demanded his return to Texas, ou the ground of his hav ing been kidnapped, and Oglesby to demand the prisoner’s return ou the same ground from Mondrugon. At 1 o’clock at night Arresures was taken from jail aud brutally mur- deeed by. three of Moudragon’s troops. In 1873 Arresures made his declaration of citizenship. He lived with his family in Eagle Pass at the the time of his arrest, aud he was an omnibus driver. The best citizens in Eagle Pass and Piedras Nagrass tesitl.v to bis good cbarac ter. Sberiff Oglesby says he bad a private understanding a it h Mondra gou by which an escaped murderer Irom Texas for whom a reward was offered was to be delivered to Ogles by in return ior Arresures. Public indignation is very great ou both sides of the river over this affair. E DLynn, U. S Consul. Governor Ireland has written to the Hon. T. F. Bayard. United States secretary of State, as fol lows: “I have the honor to endorse a copy of a telegram from the Hon. E D. Lynn, American Consul at Piedras Negrass, this man Francis co Arresures has been most foully murdered by tbe Mexican authori ties, aud it is but a repetition of the insults aud outrages committed up on Americau citizens by the people and authorities ou tbe right bank of the Rio Grande* While do reliable excuse can be given for tbe part taken by tbe Texas officers in the illegal arrest and delivery to tbe Mexican authorities. Still ootning In palliation of the fool murder has or can be offered by the Mexican authorities. The persons, whoever they arc, who were engaged in tbe illegal arrest, will be prosecuted, aud I demand in tbe name of the State and its people that this wrong by Mexico be atoned for aud pun ished. If this State aud her peo ple must depend upon, themselves for protection necessary redress can aud will be obtained. I am very respectfully your obedient servant, John Ireland, The Governor has revoked tbe com mission of floffstetter as extra ditiOo ageut. Tbe affair causes a great deal ot excitement among the authorities of Austin. Governor Ireland says that if tbe Federal Government does not do something Texas will act iu the matter. 31. A -special dispatch from Dallas, Texas, says that tbe feeling of trieudliness which had begun to exist in Texas towards Mexico has been reversed by tbe Cuttiug and other outrages recent ly brought to light. The teeliug is now oiieotjiiiten*eie«entmciil’ with everybody’«advice for war. The young men of this and other Texas cities aie quietly enrolling them : selves tor military service, and a similar movomeut, though to a les ser extent, is going ou throughout the S'ate. The State adjutant gen j eral daily receives applications for permission to raise volunteer com panies, and if required he can have 10,000 men iu motion iu tbiity days. Tbe warlike feeling is intensified by j tbe recital by American citizens of outrages experienced in Mexico, over w hich they were heretofore si lent on account of business connec tions with Mexico. It is difficult to restrain the people of Texas from au irregular iuvasic u of Mexi oo. The Third Annual Appeal. * Dear Brethren : At the last sitting of the Educa tional, Missionary and Sunday School Convention in South Caroli na, Having a knowledge of the great good that is being done by tbe American Baptist Home Missiona ry Society for the colored people in this country, and other nations, by disseminating its Christian Work of Mission, Education and Church Building, and the leading of souls to Jesus, and training them in those graces which tend to make them wise and good, Aud the aiding ot the unfortun- nate ones in the building of church houses where they are congregating themselves and making melody the prajges of their God, And being convinced by the above statement and other things which are too numerous to tell, it (tbe Convention) basset apart the secoud Sunday in August, 1886, and requested all the Baptist Churches in tbe State to come to gether on that day and give some thing for the American Baptist Home Mission Society in order to help it carry on its great work, and that the money (when raised) be sent to Rev. D. M. Pierce, its Ageut in the State, whose Headquarters is at Darlington, S. C. All moneys that will be sent to me for the American Baptist Home Missijii Society will be promptly acknowledge !,ar.d tbe same will be published iu a paper, which bears tbe name of tbe Bap:ist Home Mis sion Monthly. THE MAGNITUDE OF ITS WORK. The Society has extended its beuefleient hand over forty five States and Territories, and her six hundred and sixty-nine laborers have well nigh advanced over North America, cairyiug out the great mission of our Master. f “Go ye in to all the world, and preach the Gospel to the whole creation. Ho that believeth aud is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth not shall be condemned.” 'I be cause speaks for itself. THE RESULT OF THE YEAR’S WORK Number of Laborers b76 Weeks ot Labor * 22,988 Cburcbes and Out Statiou* Supplied 1,512 Sermons Preached 53,455 Prayer Meetings Held 32.858 Religious Visits Made 137,330 Bibles and Testaments Distributed 5,047 Pages of Tracts Dlstribuied 337,692 Received by Baptism 3,290 Received by Letter and Kxperience 2.925 Total Church Membership 21181 Churches Organised 140 Sunday Schools uuder care of Missiouaries 099 Attendance at Sunday Schools 45,432 Benevolent Contributions Re ported 12,709,203 ITS MISSION WORK IN THE STATE. The Society’s Missionary has been heartilv met by all the breth ren and churches in tbe State who believe in tbe (Jhiistiau civilization of their race. They :*rc ready to co operate with the Society all over the State where 1 have gone. I have spent most of my time in des titute places during the past year, and 1 have received aud baptized -ixty or more persons, whom I tru ly expect to see in heaven. All of the Associations have made the Socie y’s Missionary welcome among them, and have declared their cooperation with our cause. The need of mission woik in the State is certainly pitiful. There are many Baptist Cburcbes in the State who only hear a Gospel ser- tuon from ordained preachers once iu three moutbs- Ttiere are more than fifty desti tute places iu South Carolina where Baptists Churches are needed. The need of Missipnaries is alarm- iug. We do ubt need Missionaries who simply follow up towns and ci ties where large churches are, but we need Lorn Missionaries, men who were ordained from heaven tor tbe purpose—those who are willing to go anywhere they can do good by winning a soul to Jesus, aud raising the Baptist banner in tbe name of Christ. This is the aim of the Society. THE EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE SOCIETY. There are seventeen institutions □nder tbe Society’s control, 3,326 students attended tbe schools last year. They had an increase of 144 more scholars last year than the year before. Benedict Institute, the colored Baptist school of South Carolina, has made greater advancement iu its educational pursuits than ever. Students come from the mountains to the sea, and tbe work is pro- gresaiag. The Society is tbe ouly organization that carries on this Institution. Our people can nev^r rank on tbe highest order of Intel- ligeuce until they are educated re ligiously, politically, and socially, The Society has done much iu the way of building bouses of wor ship in this State, aud would do more, but it has not the means. The Society is pefectly willing for all the money that is raised iu South Cunditm for the building of the church houses, to be used for that purpose iu this State. Come brethren, let us give some thing to waul carrying on this great work of mission, education aud church buildftig. The brethren in other States are giving largely to the Society. What will S'>uth Car- olna dof There would be 500 stu dent at Benedict next fall if we only haw tbe means to aid them iu part. The building ot 400 new church houses in this State would not meet the great demand of the colored Baptists. If the second Sunday in August tloes not suit, you may arrange for any other Sabbath You may make your own pro gramme. Your brother iu Christ. D. M. PIERCE, Agent, Am Baptist Home Mission Society The Demoerats of Clarendon. (From Tbe Siitulujr Ness. Manning, July 31—The County Democratic Convention was held here to-day.
