Tns Sheriff returned to Derliugtoo on
Friday with Charier Armstrong, who is

Monday, Oct 4, was salesday;
the square was crowded with peo
ple, and piled up with cotton. The
merchants did a good business, and
were happy. The great activity c n
the square gave Darlington the
appearance of being a large town.
The Charleston Dispatch says:
“Capt. fl. Bebrf ns of Darlington,
came to the city to see the ruins,
and decided to stay. Subsequently
be brought a force of bands, and
baa all the work be can do Mr.
Behrens made the bricks for the
Darlington Factory.”
Look out for tramps! Two rough
looking white fellows went to the
residence of Mr. Gregg McCall one
day last week, when there were
only ladies in the bonse, and showed
a strong disposition to make them
selves at home, though they finally
went away without giving any
trouble.
Maj. Theodore Deifon, (ravelling man

Is now e nvassing onr town in the interest
of “Tbs Darlingtou Illustrated Annual
for 1887.” This annual, besidea eontain
ing an almanac for the year 1887, ia filled

accessions to that number in the
near future. The facilities for ob
taining a fine education are as good
in Darlington as they are anywhere
in the State. Let the fathers of
AimiUes remember this.

Editor Darlington Newt :
In response to so invitation from the
County Executive Committ-e, our repre
sentative, tki Hon. Oeorge W. Dargan.
addressed his Marion coostifueucy here
today. Much of hia speech was devoted to
tke d seuwion or the silver question. His
bandliug of too subject was masterly, and
while there were tome in his large au-li-
enee who differed wiih him, yet all agreed
that bis presentation of the subject was
remarkably clear and bis argument logiovl
and convincing. In a kindly way, and in
the beet spirit, he expesed the glaring i n-
cousistences found in the speech of the
Hon. Qeo. Tillman, delivered in Congress
ia advocacy .of silver coinage. Mr. Dar-
gan’e speech wav indeed a happy effort
sad was wall reoeived.
Mr. Dargan is pleasantly remembered in
this oounty as the faithful solioitor and
brilliant lawyer, while hie splendid social
qualities have woa him many friends.
Having thoroughly justified by the
faithful discharge of b is duties as Repr >aea-
tati ve the confidence reposed ia him by the
peeple of this District. Marion will, in
common with her sister Counties, put
forth in hie behalf her full Damoeralie
strength on tke Sad of November.
