Dargan, left Sunday for Washington, so as to he present at tbe opening ot Congress on Monday. A SLIGHT shock of earthquake was felt here on last Thursday morning about 8 o’clock. Slight tremors have beeu felt in various parts ot the State during the week. Salesday, was quite a poor at fair this mouth, owing to the in clemency of the weather. O ily a few people were in town, and but one or two public sales were made. The ameteurs are still rehears ing their peice, ami when they pre sent it, the people of Darlington will have the opportunity of seeing one of tbe finest ameteur pertorm ances ever given in this town. T. H. Spain and R G. Parnell, elected tooffioeof Probate Judge and Coroner respectively, for this coun ty, having received their cominis- sious from the Governor, assumed charge of their oftices ou Monday * last. Maj. J. B. Ezell, general aigmit of the Springfield Fire & Marine Insurance, Co., was in town this week, looking to the payment of $6.00 iusnrauce on tbe stock of Mr. T. C. Jett'ords, recently destroyed by fire. There w^ no insurance on tbe building. Mr. Geo. B. Howie, one of Dar lington’s enterprising farmers, made this year, eighty five gallons of mo lasses, from a quarter acre crop .of. cane. The sample brought to our office, was splendid, several persons to whom it was shown thougUt it was New Orleans syrup. Mrs. J N. Garner met with quite a painful accident on last Monday. While walking in the yard, she fell on the ice, and broke one of the bones in her arm and dislocated her wrist. Mrs. Garner is getting better though she has suflered a great deal from the wound. The municipal election will be held on the 21st iust., and books for the registration of votes wi'l be opened ou the Saturday and Mon day preceding the election. A convention of the citizens for the purpose of nominating a Mayor and Aldermen wid convene in the Court House on the 17th inst. The Knights of Labor held a meetinr in tbe Court House on Tuesday night Immediately after their adjourn ment the ‘‘working men” held a meeting in the Court House, and nominated the following ticket: For Mayor, Geo. W. Earle; for Aldermen. W. B. Brunson, C. Alex auder, C. K Rogers and P. C. Beck. On Wednesday morning Decern ber 1, 1886, Hannah, the little ten year old daughter ol Mr John W. Harrington, ot Hartsvide, was run ning iu the yard with a pair ot scis sors in her baud, when tailing acei dently over a wheel barrow, the scissors entered her abdomen and broke against the vertebra. Tbe portion of the scissors which re mained in her body was broken in two parts, only one of which i he doctor succeeded in abstracting. The poor little snfterer lingered iu intense agony until two o’clock on Saturday night. The funeral ser vices were be d at the Presbyterian Church here at 2 P M. tu Wednes day. They were to have beeu held at the same hour ou the day pre vious, but the roads were rendered so impassable by reason of the number of trees which had fallen across them since tbe freeze that it was found Impossible to bring the remains to town. It would be im possible to express the heartfelt sympathy throughout tbe commu nity fur Mr. and Mrs. Harrington who have met with so terrible a be reavement. Oar State Senator Interviewed. As the Senate wae not in session on Saturday, Monday or Tuesday, Col. Edwards came over to spend the time with his family, and the Editor ot the News took advau tage of his presence iu town to have achat with him ou the*more impor tant issoea now pending before the . Legislature. Col. Edwards thinks ‘ that, while tbe vote will be close iu the Senate, tree tuition in the South Carolina College is virtually dead. He a so thinks thata law eatabliah- ing a separate Agricultural College of some kiad will be enacted in tbe near future, and be is in favor of Senator Woodward’s idea, with some modification, of placing a State tax on dogs. Our Senator believes that the time has come for the calling of a Consutiitienal Convention, and that a bill will pasa the Legislature to thateftect. The bill to ab oish the salary of 11,000, now received by the Licutei ant Governor has p>ss ed the House, has beeu unanimous ly recommended by the Judicary Committee of the Senate, ami Col". Edwards thinks i‘ will inevitably become a law, though, of course, it will uot take effect until the expir atiou of the term of the pteseut iu cumbent. The movement to torni a new county from portions ot the cotmriesnf Chesterfield, Darlington, Kershaw and Sumter with the county-seat at Uishopville, will not prevail The Florence county pro IHtsition is still being urged. Under the law therdare two Trial Justices allowed for the town* ol Darlington. Petitions tor the re appointment of the iucumbei ts, Messrs. H. E. P. Sanders and C. P. Dargan have already been forward ed to the delegation. It is said that a petition praying the appoint ment of Mr. W. II. Lawrence will also be forwarded in a few days. Senator Edwards returned to Co lumbia on Tuesday afternoon. _ in —» Funeral of Mrs; Minnie Lawrenee Drown. (From tbe Turkalooea Tim ».} On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 20 1886, Mrs. Minnie Lawrence Brown was buried at Evers.reei Cemetery iu this city. The impressive-funer al services were cam noted at the Baptist Church, by the Reverends Messrs. Dill and Monk This simple announcement will shock many ot the friends of the subject of this notice, for this is a loss that was entirely unexpected. The death occurred at Atlanta, Ga., w here she was being treated for an affection of the throat. A lane concourse of our people assembled at the church to pay the last sad rites to the deceased. The coffin and grave were almost hidden un der the many flowers gathered by loving fingers. A large list of friends mourn her loss,—a list which was begun in childhood,—continued during the •lays of the maiden’s life,—and so increased, by the time that w oman hood’s years were readied, that i* numbered almost all our people. The reason for this w ts, that she was one of the most stately s.nd beautiful ot the creatures of our Maker, and not less lovely was her character. She was noted.for her kind and tender disposition, and her firm and steadfast devotion to her friends. Nature had endowed her with a magnificent voice, which was regularly used iu her Maker’s worship while she was a resident ot the city. This loss falls upon all—but chief ly upon a di voted husband, loving mother, a. d two brothers with whom we deeply sympathize in their great affliction.
