: * ' THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THUKSDAY. DEC. 23, 1836 IirVUY T. THOMPSON, KI»ITOK. THAT NEW COUNTY. It aftonta as pleasure to give spaoe in this issue to the letter of Mr. Priuce, of the F/oreacs Times, since be seeais to tbiuk that an assertion which we copied reccutl,) from tbe Marion Star on the subject of tbe new County “places tbe Times in a wrong light.” It is manifest that such was not onr intention, for tbe assertion refered to related to Marion County, it was bat nat ural for us to believe that tbe Star, published in that county knew more about the affairs of Marion than a piper published in Darlington County could possibly know. Tbe Times said editorially last week : “Because Florence contrib utes so much in excess of any other township in tbe present county of Darlington to the Treasury, that section is loth to give her up. Tbe railroad taxes alone is an item of about $5,000 yearly, and this rev enue tbe people there do not wish to lose,” The entire railroad tax paid in Darlington County is only 84,059,- 53. How then can Florence Town ship alone pay a railroad tax of about $5,000f The Treasurer’s books show that the tax paid by Darlington Town ship this year was $6,572,36, that paid by Florence Township was $6,207,91. What then becomes of the assertion that “Florence con tributes ninth in excess oj any Township in the present County of Darlington." t “The Times can be relied upon iu its statements for tbe paper always has proof for everything it says.” Then, let it prove this statement. The Times says further: “As to the objection that taxes will be raised, the News loses sight of the agreement of Florence to build the Court House and jail.” We l>eg pardon, we do not lose sight of said agreement, but we maintain that even if Florence canies it out (ai d iu the present bill before the Legis lature there is no jiositive assurance that she will do so,) taxes will be raised anyhow, if necessary, we can prove our assertion by giving the figures. The expenses of the new County will not end with the build ing of the Court House and jail, and the annual expenses of the three counties, Darlington, Marion and Florence would certainly be greater than the annual expenses ol the two we have at present. The Times says further: “Tne indications are that the county will be made, even against the wishes of some.” And herein lies the chiet point of difference between the Times and the News. We do not think that “The indications are that the county will be made,” and as we feel very sure that our view of the case will prove to be correct we do not consider it worth while to discuss the subject further at present. THE NEW SCHEDULE TO COLUMBIA On last Monday a week ago the new schedule from Wadesboro’ to Columbia was put in operation Ever since then these trains have been well patronized, and there is every reason to believe that this new enterprise on the part of the railroad authorities will prove great success. There is but one thing more we need, and that is an extra daily mail between Colum bia and Florence on this new tram. Our mail arrangements with Co lumbia are simply execrable Though the C. A D road is only 82 miles from Columbia, the Registet is not distributed along its line until late in the evening of the day after its publication, nearly forty- eight hours! There is bo longer any excuse for this, now that we have an express train which can carry tbe Register to Florence and up the C. A D road on the after noon of tbe day of its publication. We hope that our Columbia friends will assist us in obtaining this ad ditional convenience. Mr. M V. Moore, the polite and acoommo dating Post office Inspector who paid as a visit last week, apprecia ted tbe situation as soon as it was explained to him, and promised that he would do all in his power to afferd our people this accommo dation. Tbe Columbia Board of Trade, composed of the leading merchants of tbe place, look a lively interest in this matter of a day train to Co lumbia, and it was owing in great measure to their efforts that such good results were accomplished On them now devolves in u great degree the duty of convincing the railroad authorities that they real ly desired that for which they asked. It would bo only natural for a considerable portion of onr trade to go to Columbia, and it wMl go there if the Columbia mer chants seek it in an intelligent busi ness like manner. Let them, by organizing excursions to Columbia,, and by such other enterprising methods as are resorted to by the Charleston merchants show that they want us, and they will soon find our people drifting towards them A kindly feeling has always existed between the people of Co lumbia arid those of the Pee Dee secrion, which, by judicious man agement, cannot fail to develop into a stronger bond. We are 20 miles nearer Columbia than we are to Charleston, and including hack hire and railroad fare, tbe round trip to the former place in cheaper by $2.30 Members of the Bar and other resi dents of the Pee De5 section con stantly visit Columbia on business, and it this matter is worked up in the proper manner they will soon be seen accompanied frequently by tbe ladies ol tbeir families, who, now that they can go in so much comfort, will find it convenient to do a considerable portion of tbeir shopping iu Columbia. Let tbe Columbia merchants look to this, and let them “Strike while tbe iron is hot.” THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. The municipal election which was held on Tuesday last was a disgrace the community. Both sides were blame for the methods where em ployed. A fitting example should have been made of tbe very first man who purchased a vote, by lodging an indictment against him. It is simply incomprehensible how a set of men could till a lot of ignor ant darkeys with mean whiskey and set them to fighting, cursing and firing off pistols to snch an extent that the ladies of the town were afraid to leave their homes for one moment, and even when there found it intensely annoying and disagree able. From Monday afternoon to Wednesday morning pandemonium reigned iu Darlington, and the few farmers who ventured into town on business gazed with open mouthed astonishment at our method of con ducting elections. And the provok ing part of it all is tnat the whole business was utterly unwarranted There was no real issue at stake as far as we could see. Many of the participants, now that the excite tneut is over, feel badly about the band they had iu a performance which will do anything but redound to the glory of Darlington, and we sincerely hoi>e that by tbe time the next municipal election comesroand the better class of citizens will baud themselves together to prevent a recurrence of the humiliating scenes which were enacted on Tuesday, December 21, 1886. TAXES IN DARLINGTON COUNTY. In tbe midst of such hard times as we are experiencing at present, it is at least pleasant to know that Darlington pays less taxes than any county in the State except Charles ton. We find from the supply bil which was recently introduced in the Legislature that our total tax for the next year, State, county am sehool, amounts to only 8| mills, while Pickens will have to pay 191 mills. This is less by a mill and n half than we paid this year, and the assessment for county expenses has been reduced by 1 of a mill. This pleasant condition of things is due to the business like manner iu which the affairs of Darlington county have been conducted for several years past. There are few, it any comities in the Btate that can make as good showing as this. The attention of our readers is called to our first page where will he fonud a number of interesting locals. This arrangement, which is somewhat unusual, was resorted to in order that the crowding out of important matter by the official sales might not be repeated this week. The Town Election, Pursuant to a call by tbe Town Council, the citizens of Darlington met in convention in the Court House on Friday evening, Dec, 17tb, at eight o’clock to nominate a Mayor and Aldermen J. J. Ward, Esq., was elected Chairman of the meeting and Mr. W. A. Parrott, Secretary. The chairman stated that the meeting had been called iu tbe interest of harmony, in order that nominations might be made and the election might be conducted without the turmoil which had characterized the last. E. Keith Durgan, Esq , also made an earn est appeal lor harmony. The members of tbeKnigbts of Labor whoa short time ago had endorsed tbe nomination of Maj. Geo. W. Earle, appeared cow to be iu favor of Mr. J. G. McCall, who was nomi uated for Mayor by Mr. J. H. Early. J. E. Nettles, Esq , was nominated by Mr. John Stskron, and Dr. J. C Willcox by Mr. Adkins. After the nominations had been closed C. 8. Nettles arose and withdrew the name of bis lather, who, he said, did not desire to enter into a scram ble to obtain the nomination. The balloting was then proceeded with, but before the vote was announced Mr. W. J. Early, who is said to be the Master Workman of the Knights of Labor at this p'acc, arose and called ou all who were in favor of Mr.J. G. McCall to leave tire Court House, in reK|M)tise to which some 40 or 50 retired. It was subsequently ascertained that this action was taken by Mr. Mc Call's friends ou tbe ground that they bad not received fair play from the opposition The vote resulted Willcox Dl, McCall 80. Messrs. VV. F. D.trgau. P. G. Beck, John Sisk- ron and O K. Rogers were nomi- uated for Aldermen 8 -I. Keith thought that thccolor- 1 ed people. m * *ny of whom werepre-1 sent and took muci* nterest iu the meeting, should have a representa tive, and nominated Isham ErYin. Messrs. Dargan, Si kron, Beck and Ervin, on a count of the ballots, were declared the nominees for al derman. Tne meeting then ad journed. it is said that those' r ho retired tom the meeting endeavored to get Ir. J G. McCall to accept a nom iuation from them. Failing in this r.v nominated a ticket headed bv E. Nettles, Esq., and with the same aldermen «ho where nomina ted at the regular meeting. Regis- a! ion of votes rook place on Satur- ami Mondax. Tne number reg istered was 303, a considerable iu- teast* over tbe number at the last lection. On Tuesday the election came off and w as marked by much excitement ami keeling. Both sides entered tb*- contest with a zest, and from Mouduy evening until Wed nesday morning the noise snd con fusion were great. Dr. Wii-cox was elected by a majority ol 43, the vote standing 170 to 127. The Cultivation of Yellow Tobacco in Darlington County. Our readers will remember that Mr. F. M. Rogers, Jr., who was ap pointed by the Agricultural Depart ment to make the experiment in to bacco culture in D irlington Conn tv won i he first premium at our County Fair and afterwards at the State Fair. Mr. Rogers has kindly furnished us with the following re sults of two sales of his r»bacco made by him to Harris, Gooch A Co., ol Henderson, N. C, on No spectivHv $ ' ^ lbs price per owt sold for 1st g’de 60 1 i50 (to $10 00 2d •• 172 40 00 68 80 3d •• 73 37 50 27 37 4tb “ 81 85 00 28 35 5th *• 88 30 on 26 40 6th •• 40 23 00 9 20 7th “ 156 18 00 28 00 8th «• 60 17 00 10 20 9th •• 16 00 6 60 b’gt lug 80 26 50 21 20 sand •* 77 •24 O ' 18 48 9 22 273 60 An'ragt per pound 29$ cent*.

At the beginning of the .\e*t when the Agricultural Department appointed one person in each comi ty to make the experiment they of fered a prize to t he one who should produce the l»est crop on a single acre. For this purpose Mr. Rogers raised the hist lot of 949 poitnds on one acre, and as it tunn-d out to be extra tine, it should have brought even a bettor price than the first lot, but, unfoitunately it reached Henderson just at the beginning of the recent fieeze. Mr. Roger’s ageirs then wished to hold it until suitable weather, but lie telegraph ed them that, as he bud to make bis report to the Agricultural D-- partmeut by tbe 10th thev must sell at once. In this way the let was forced on the market and sold at a sacrifice; but. notwithstanding that tact it averaged 18| cents a pound. If it bad been pnt ou the market under as favorable circumstances as tbe first lot, it would have brought at least 8250. The expenses incurred in cultiva ting this experimental acre are as follows: Cost of labor 50 bus. cotton seed 400 lbs. fertilizer Ware house charges, freight and drayage $36 54 9 (Ml 9 00 19 79 rixi mm ■ V ' .•ft*?* i£S8i-gSr' 874 33 Thus it will be seen that, notwith standing the unfavorable circum stances attending its sale, tbe net profits on the crop obtained from this acre amounted to 8101,12. As no strict account of it was kept, tbe exact acreage of tbe land from which the first lot was taken is not known. A teceiit number of the “Gold Leaf,” published at Hendersou, N. C., says : “We bad the pleasure of meeting in our town a few days ago Mr. F. M Rogers, of Florence, 8. C.. who was here with a lot of tobacco to sell. He bad 932 pounds which averaged him altout 29 cents. This was Mr. Rogers’ first effort at to bacco growing on a large scale and bis success demonstrates what can be done in this Une in Darlington OOt nty, 8. 0. Mr. R. was well pleas ed with tbe result of his sales. He is mu intelligent, progressive young farmer and the “Gold Leap” is proud to number him among its list of readers.” Mr. Rogers advices all who are interested iu this new enterprise and who contemplate entering upon it next year, to commence ou a smud scale until they become ac quainted with tbe method of hand ling the erop. He is particularly emphatic in his assertion that there is no profit'in raising poor tobacco, as there is already an overproduo ijouofit. He ad vises that no ef fort be spared to make the tobacco of tbe very best quality, as there it never any danger of an overproduc tion of a first-class article, and there is always s profit iu it. Here we have before as the fig ures of one who has made this ex- Jli. periment. Are they not sufficient ly encouraging to warrant every far mer in the county in reeerviug one acre next year from tbe hind be usu ally plants iu cotton snd devoting it to the tobacco experiment! Where to Buy Christmas Goods. As Christmas app'oaches tbe stores iu Darlington begin to put ou their holiday appearance. In our opinion the number and variety of articles now displayed Mir passes that ot any previous year. The first to attract the attention are the two drug stores;that of Willcox d; Co., uuder tbe Enterprise Hotel, which is acknowledged to be one of the largest and handsomest stores iu town, presents an elegant appear ance with its beautiful dispay of new Christmas goods. The assort ment of vases, cups and saucers, and crockery ware of all kinds, is unnaualiy fine. They have on baud a large lot of fire works of every de scription, together with beautiful autograph and photograph albums, dressing cases and Christmas cards Dr. J. A Boyd, who is celebrated for the judgment and good taste with which he selects bis .Christmas stock has done even better than usual this year. As you enter tbe neatly arranged store yonr eye is dazzled by a bri'liaut array of books, toys, inkstands, Limps, vases and many other hand some articles tor use or oruame'i;. The Enterprise Grocery has recently been removed to their very handsome new su re on Pearle Street, which has alreadv been breefly described by the News, and which, in the near future will re ceive further recognition at our hands; here the attention of the passer by is attracted by the display of good things iu the handsome show windows, tbe very sight of which maki s bis mouth water; nuts, raisins, fruit, candy, and all those delicacies which gc to make “a merry Xmas” and “a Happy New Year”are to be found there. Edwards & Norment, with the constant additions which tbe> have been making recently to their already handsome stock, are prepared to furnish their customers with a choice line of Xmas goods. Call there and enjoy ttie luxurv of being waited ou by one of those handsome clerks. J. H. Mason, Proprietor of the Darlington Jew elry Store, has been wi h us now long enough to have established his reputation as a first-class jeweler. He has on hand a beautiful stock of goods, and those pnrclias’ng Xmas presents could not do better than call ou him. Among the many articles displayed iu his beautiful show cases are quadruple plate c ike baskets, goblets, waiter.-, card cas< s and butter dishes; gold and silver watches and chains, and handsome gold rings, set in all styles. W. A. Latta, has recently opened a jewelry store ou the west side of the square n at the Darlington Hotel. Mr. Latta, during Ids shoit residence h* re, has made many friends, and has already established a good business. In his store are to be found a fine as sortment ol all such articles as are usually kept, in first-class jewelry establishments. He has for sale a fine lot of Waterbary watehe-, and makesasi»ecialty of handsome dies sing cases. Call and see Ins stock before buying holiday presents f< r your boys and girls. But, after all, the place to buy the finest delicacies with w hich to finish oft - your Xmas dinner is at the stole of George O. Mertz. Here is to be found such an as- sortment of fruit as you will see no where in the State outside ot Char- lest on. Apples, oranges, lints, lem ons, bananas, grapes and cocoa- nuts are piled up in an array sutfi ciently tasteful to tempt the most fastidious appetite. A. WlKNBERG has added to Ids stock a large and varied assortment of toys. Every thing calculated to please tbe fancy of the Iwys and girls is to be found there. Mr. P. F. Wilson, Mr. Wein berg's polite and efficient salesman, who has been absent ou sick fur lough for some time past, has re turned to his post, where ft will af ford him pleasure to serve his many customers during the holiday sea sou. As we mentioned last week Mrs. E. Byrd has also laid in a fine stock of toys to which she invites the at^utiou of her many friends and patrons. We called ou Mrb M. Mannk to ask if she wanted any s|>ecial mention made of her Xmas stock, but tbe Judge inform d . us that Christmas was pretty much like any other to her, as her store is always crowded with customers ; and this is about the trutlr. Bat a description of the good things yon can nuy in Darlington for Christmas would be incomplete did we fail to mention the fine Not- folk oysters which will be found for sale during the whole week at Martin Hanley’s. These oysters areas fine as it has ever been our good fortune to see anywhere. Let every housekeeper buy a quart of them to stuff tbe tur key with ou Innas day or the din ner will he incomplete.
