Woods, calls the attention of oor readers to a stock of Gent’s Clothing, specially selected from the best goods, and of superior cut and finish. He asks an inspection before yon buy elsewhere. Mr. F. E. Norment, oar Dar lington Insurance Agent, calls at tention to big new advertisement. He represents accident, life, cyclone and fire insurance. His companies have a combined capital of over $100,000,000, and include the most reliable known. AN excursion, mentioned last week, will be ran on Thursday oext, Sept 16, from Wadesboro to Charleston, returning on Friday Passengers who prefer to do so can sleep in the cars Thursday night. Train will pass Darlington at 10 o’clock Thursday morning and re turn abont 12 30 Friday night, giv ing thirty hoars in the city. The whistle at the Factory on Wednesday morning of last week, was an evidence that the Mill bad not been damaged. The operatives, like every one else in our town, were frightened by the earthquake of Tnesday night, bat when Mr. Newman went to the Mill at an ear ly hoar he found the engineer and fireman at their posts waiting for instructions. An examination of the Mill showed that no damage bad been done and when the ma chinery was started three-funrths of the operatives were at their posts. This is a remarkable record and shows that the Factory element in onr town is composed of solid citi- sens. We expect that the Factory operatives and the News’ force were the only ones in town who did a full day’s work Wednesday of last week. CARTERSVII/LE. —Cotton picking is in fall head way.
