The time for collecting taxes ex
pired on tbe 15th inst. Uu Mon
day tbe 20th, a bill was introduced
in the Legislature to extend the
time until the 15th of Jan. 1887, in
all the counties in the State, Dar
lingtou excepted. The reason why
Dailiugtou was excepted, was
because Mr Traxler, onr County
Treasurer went to Columbia and
explained that 95 per cent of the
taxes, about as much as he hoped
to get, had already been collected
in this County.
It gives us great pleasure to an
nounce that the Reading Club was
reorganized on the 22ud iustant.
The first meeting was held at Mrs.
Spain’s and was so successful as to
lead all the former members to hope
that the club will soon be in suc-
cesstul operation again. This will
be a source of general gratification
to many who in the past have de
rived so much instruction and
amusement from these meetings. A
second meeting, which proved
equally as successful as the first,
was held on last Wednesday even
ing at Mr. Geo. W. Dargan’s.
Members of the Craft in this
vicinity will be gratified to know
that old St. Davids Lodge No. 72
A. F. M. was revived on the 20th
inst., and the following officers
were elected and installed : J. A.
Boyd, W. M.; Jacob Marco, S. W ;
H. W. Beck, J. W.; C. Alexander,
S. D.; A. Weinberg, J D.; A. S
White, Secretary; John Siskron,
Treasurer; J. H Schmid and Jos.
Rosenberg, Stewards; P. C. Beck,
Tiler. D. D. G. M. C. R. King of
the 8th Dist.. P. M., A. W. Parrott
and P. M. Win. Blackman, were
present and officiated.
At the recent meeting of the
Methodist Conference, Rev. P. B.
Jackson was transferred from Dar
lington to Abbeville Mr. Jackson
has been among us lor the past
three years, and by his genial
manners and truly Christian char
acter has endeared himselt to all,
without reg rd to denominations.
The people of Darlington are very
sorry tt-at they have to part with
him, and they wish him as much
success in his new field as lie met
with here. Mr. J. E Beard, who
has been sent to take Mr. Jackson's
place, is a young man, and while he
is not known to our people, he
comes with such a good record
trom his former charges as to en
sure for him a hearty welcome from
the Darlington congregation.

A new postal card has been re
ceived and is now for sale at our
post office. Near tbe top of the
new card, and cqui-distaut from its
two side edges, is a profile portrait
of Thomas Jefl'erson, looking to the
right, on a shaded background, en
closed within several concentric
circles, and resting upon an ornate
pedestal engraved in outline.. Be
low this pedestal, in small letters,
is the legend: ‘‘Nothing but tbe
address to be on tlds side.” Im
mediately beneath the portrait and
within two of the circles appears
tbe denomination, “one cent,” and
on either side, tn unshaded panels
with arabesque terminations, is
the title, “Postal Card,” in plain
Roman letters. Above the whole,
inscribed upon a curved ribbon,
are tbe words “United States.”
Tbe design is printed in black. The
new cards are of tbe same size as
those now in use, and ot tbe same
color an > quality of paper.
Information was received here
Thursday that some ot the wagouers
who frequent our town about this
season of tbe year, were engaged
in the illicit traffic of liquor, in var
ious parts of tbe conuty. Deputy
U. S. Marshal Scbouboe was tele
graphed tor, bnt before he arrived
one of tbe wagoners who had spent
Wednesday night here evidently
suspected something, for he left
town rather hnriedly. Parties who
passed him just across the creek in
Donnerail, say that he was eviden
tly anxious to get away, as he was
urging his horses to their almost
speed. As soon as Marshal Schou-
boe arrived, he with several others
started in pursuit. About three
o’clock tbe next morning they
came upon the wagon near Comp-
bell’s store at McIntosh’s Mill in
the western part of the county The
owner of the wagon, S M. Kennedy,
of Forsythe County, N. O., was
arrested, and he and his wagon
brought back to Darlington on
Friday. Kennedy was taken befoie
Commissioner Baker who appointed
Wednesday for a preliminary hear
ing, and in tbe tb. aa time commit
ted the prisoner to jail. The wagon
together with several kegs of whis
key was confiscated.

The entertainment given by the
W. C.T. U. at the Academy on
Tuesday night was a grand success
iq every way. The Society met iu
the Methodist Church, and was
called to order by Mrs. L. E. Wil-
liamaon, the President. After the
singing ot one or two appropriate
hymns, and prayer by the Rev. Mr.
Law, the roll was called by the
Secretary, and at the request ot the
President, the Rev. Mr. Moore, read
the pledge of the Society and in-
vited all who wished to join to stand
at their seats. Several persons
stood, thus indicating that they
took the pledge. Mr. Law and Mr.
Moore, made very interesting ad
dresses, of good will and encourage-
meuttotbe ladies, wboareat workin
the noble cause of temperance.
The President then announced that
alter pra\er by Mr. Moore, every
one was invited over to the School
Room, where the W. 0 T. U., had
prepared a “Free Christmas supper
lor all.” The ladies of the commit
tee certainly deserve great credit
for the elegant manuer in which
this “Free Supjier,” was prepared
and served. The T shaped table
literally groaned under the abuu
dance of nice things it held. A
beautiful display ot tire works en
ded this most enjoyable entertain
ment, and every one left, indebted
to the W. 0. T U., for a delighttnl
evening, and with best wishes for
the future success of the Society.
