GRADED SCMOOLa FOR DATLIMG*
TON-
We are not williug that Darling
too, the beat town in the Pea Dee
Section, should be behind her eieter
towui in anjthiag. That she is
ceueiderable behiud Florence, Mar
ion and Beniiettivllle, in the matter
of educational advantage! la a fact
which ia oouo<ded without argn*
ment; that we mutt stir in thia
matter if we wiab to keep up with
the times, ia likewise evident. The
Legislature grants to any town pe
titioniog for it the privilege of in
corporaliug itaell into a special
school district, and, by levying
special tax, to organise graded
schools. The three towns mention
ed above heve all taken advantage
of this indulgence, and heve obtain
ed first class schools which would
be an honor to any community
Daring all this time Darlington haa
jogged along in the same old-fash
ioued groves until she ia exactly
twenty years behind the times in
the matter ot educational facilities,
e fact which ia used considerably to
our disad vantage whenever com par
ison is m ade concerning the differ
ent towns in the State.
Last tall a lady who had reaidrd
in Darlington for years moved to
Florence to give her children the
advantages of the excellent schools
at that place. Only thia week one
of the moat prosperous farmers in
the Oonuty, who has resided near
the town of Darlington all bit life,
and whose sympathies and interests
are all with us, movtd to Florence
for the same pui pose. He said that
be would much r uber live in Dar
lington, bat under the circumstan
ces, he preferred to go to Florence,
and we do not blame him ; he did
exactly right. It is time for Dar
lington to realize, however, that it
(a »uicidal for her to loose these op
portunities for growth which be
long to her naturally, siinpty be
cause she is tweuty years ^bind
the times in the matter ef her
schools.
That which inlluences most the ac
tions of men is the natural ^ut un
fortunate quality known aa self-in*
terest. It is only reasonable to ex
pect, therefore, that some of t hose
who have no children to send to
the school, end who will not be di
reetly,benefited by them,‘will object
strenuously to the levying of any
extra tax for that pnrpeaa. Soch
haa been the history of every effort
of the kind made in the State,'and
In all probability history wiii repeat
itself in Darlington. By a united,
determined effort, however, all op
position can be promptly crashed,
and we vesture tbe assertion that
after the schools have been In op
eration a year they will not be
twenty votes in the town polled
against them. To enumerate all the
advantages to be derived by a com
munity from these schools would
require much time and space, and
would, moreover, be an necessary
at this time, as no one will under
Uke to dispute tbe fact that there
advantages exist. Experience has
•hovn that every citizen in a com
munity is benefited by them, indi-
aectly, at lend, and-every ftown
which has tried them has increased
in importance in a wonderful de
gree. Can tbe people of progres
sive Darlington afford to be so far
behind the times t Who are willing
to mak an effort to obtain for oar
oouiman ty this most inestimable
bleasin f
tbe river in Mar.boro 1 County. Let
a serious, growing evil be corrected
at once and they may come no near
er Lome. For years past it has
been the habit of the email boy ot
this community to loaf around the
depot at the time for the arrival of
the trains. This practice is partic-
nlarly noticable on Saturdays when
the schools are not in session, and
one who chances to be at the depot
on that day is filled with wonder
that serf ana accidents aro not of
more frequent ocourrenoe. The
boys are everywhere, darting serose
the track two feet ahead of the oow-
oatpber of the engine, running rap
idly between the train end- the de
pot platform, hanging on to the
reur-pla form while the train is
leaviug miU nutii it has gone fin
Ward at iilmoMt full speed ; such are
tbe au'ius wbici. are ladi.iged in by
tbe pUylul little youngsters That
a mangled, unrecognizable mass of
humanity is not brought op oo the
omibus once a week is almost a mir
acle and it will not prove to be tbe
case always. Uniess ih« re is e re
form in this respect, some find
mot hi r wilt have h cruel awaken
ing from bur cureleisues. before
many days nave passed riiis ia a
seiious matter; mothers, beed the
warning I If there is auj reader of
the Thjc Njiws wbo may be dispos
ed to think that we have over esti
mated thia evil, we only ask that
she make a visit to tbe depot some
bright Saturday morning. The pro
per place for boy s is the immediate
vicinity of their homes, and if they
are not kept there, their fond moth*
era will have only themselves to
blame should any accident befall
them.
A YEAR OF PROMISE.
To compare the condition of (he
farmers at tbe close of tbe fast
year with what it was a year ago ia
pleasant and gratifying. While no
one has made a fortune during that
time, and while many are still ham
pered by old obligations which
cling to them like garments and by
tbe ruinous interest which they are
compelled to meet, things have
changed decidedly for the better,
Tbe crops were very fair all over
the State, and old Darlington raised
her usual large proportion of the
valuable staple. There are mttny
wboi-c prosperity lias increased con
siderably and wbo have been able to
meet the nomberoftryingdemauda
made upon them. Altogether, the
new year opens brightly for tbe far
mers of Darlington County. The
soil which y ields to them tbe frails
of their labors is aa good aa any to
be fonud in tbe length and breadth
of Sooth Carolina, while they are
tortnuete in paying b ss taxes than
any other people in ^the State.
KLKKP YOUR BUYS AT HOME
Last week there was a very sad
aooouot in tbe papers of a little boy
at Beonettsville, wbo while watch
ing the bauds trying to raise a de’
railed engine to its place, sat down
on the track and went to sleep. Tbe
monster was placed back in posi
tion without his knowing it, and he
was crashed to death. “He was
the only sou of his mother and she
was a widow.* How poignant must
have been the bereaved and deso
late woman’s grief when sbe eaw
the mangled and lifeless remains of
her son home home to her on a lit
ter, and how she moat have re
proacbed herself for not having
looked after her boy more carefully
and prevented him from frequent
ing a place of ao much danger.
Mothers of the town of Darlington,
these are the feeling which some of
yon will experience in the near fu
ton if yen do not exercise more
supervision over your boy at Every
day the papers an filled with ac
counts of accidents similar to the
one mentioned above, but it is ran*
\j the oa|| that one is brought so
this one, jast aorott
Amid ull ' the troubles aud an
noyanoes with which they are sur
rounded, they have much to be
thankful for, and the bright new
year which has just begun is full of
promise. As far as such terms can
apply to weak, struggling mortals,
we believe that tbe citizens ot Dar
liuglou County and, in fact, ot tbe
whole Pee Dee Section, the favored
region of Sooth Carolina,an a hap
py, progressive and pr sperooa peo
ple.
A BARBAROUS PASTIME.
Some people seem to find great
amusement in fighting chickens As
api.a:ime it just on a par with boll
baiting and tbe State should adopt
tbe moat striugentlawsto prevent it
As it is, a law passed at the recent
session of tbe General Assembly, If
properly enforced, wonld complete
ly rid Darlington of this crnel sport.
It ia now against tbe law to fight
chickens within three miles ot any
chartered institution of learning.
St John’s Academy was for many
years chartered by the Legisiatare,
bat the charter rao out some time
ago. There are very many reasons
why it wonld be best for this insti
ration to be incorporated, and the
matter of applying for a renewal of
the charter bad been talked of be*
tore. Now that it will also have
tbe effect of removing from our
community a stain from which it
haa suffered long, we think it tbe
duty of tbe trustees to have tbe in
stitution chartered withont any de
lay. Under the recent la*a of the
State It will not be necessary to
petition the Legislature to obtain
a charter; tbe Secretary of Stato is
empowered te grant one npon pro
per application. Who will act in
this matter and remove from Dar*
liogton a blot which rests open her
fair naaraf The great main which
was condncfed at tbe Mineral
Spriogon Friday last should be the
very last time that this cruel sport
is indviged in within a radios of
three miles of old Bt John's Acade

—Special: As Lie Pacific steamer

Yangtse, the “little see* as it is
called by rhe natives, only low, flat
lands are visible. At Woos-
ung, the “float iag city,* with ita
happy passengers, enters the
Hwangpoo River and passes op ten
miles, with nothing for the eye to
rest upon save the mod banks and
the green fields of growing rice—
“the staff of life* to the hive of oa-
rives—when suddenly a mighty ci
ty rises in the distance, aud tbe
sluggish stream is covered with
fiests of -merchant steamers and
men of war, beating tbe flags of all
tbe great nations i f the earth.
Forty years ago the little walled
city—a county seat—had 50,000
people; now ihe population is 300,-
000 aud yearly incteasing. The
3,000 foreigns annually handle tbe
triliiug sum of two hundred million
duliais. The foreign residences,
mostly in tbe rear or tbe settlement,
ure all “villas,* and a mile and a
half along tbe river front, called the
‘•Bund,* there tines a line of pala
ces, banks and commercial bouses.
Just at the bend of the river, at tbe
mouth of the Snochow Greek, stands
the American consulate, command

her dry and sallow countenance,
and occasionally fills tbe gaps in
her rattling talk with graceful,
mauly expectorations. Her dress is
neat, but evidently not new. It
now consists of a little »ix-aud-a-

Demand for Cotton Seed.
Do people realize what an enor
mous trade the establishment of
competing oil mills has develojwd
in cotfon seed T Tbe figures are a-
toniahing, even to well informed
people. Colombia bas two big cot
ton seed mills, tbe Trust’s with a
daily capacity of 80 tons, and tbe
Southern Company’s, with tbeabM-
to crush 100 tons a day. Week be
fore last these mills received from
tbs railroads 350 carloads, or 5,250
tons of cotton seed, besides what
they took from wagons. Tbe rush
was ao great that with tbe quickeat
unloading it severely taxed tbe re
sourois of tbe roads. The side
tracks leading to tbe mills were
blocked nearly all tbe time.
The rush was caused by the com
petition in the price of cotton seed
ioaugnrated by tbe Soutbern Cot
ton Sard Oil Company. Tbe pi ioee
are much higher than last year and
tbe oouutry is scoured tor supplies
of seed. It is believed that the
price of seed will advance from year
to year aa the oil attaius a wider
range of usefulness, aud it is even
conjectured that at some time tbe
seed will be aa valuable as the lint
which is asperated from it. Tbs rail
road companies are seriously con
