r/'*. THE DARLINGTON NEWS. UlUKSDAV, FEU. a. 18V8. IIE.%RY T. THOMPSON. EDITOR. Darlington as a cotton mar ket A allott time Ago w« published the fact that thu number of bales, (including those purchased by the factory,) which bad Iteen received at the Dar.ington market this sea son already exceeded 17,000, aud that by all the laws ot comparison with previous years it woutu un doubtedly reach 19,000, an increase of nearly thirty thri-e per ecu' over the largest number ever shipped in any Single season. While this increase is so great as to appear truly wnu.'eiful, it can be fully substantiated by reference to the books of the factory and those •f the depot agent at this place. It w ill be interesting to compare the respective destinations of the crop for the season 1886-87 with those of the season 1887-88, it being «nd* ratood that the figures for the present season are carried only to the first day ot the present year. For the season 1886-87, the destina- tieas of the shipments were as f 1 Iowa: Charleston 8858 bales \ Wilmington, 1927; Norfolk, 1489; • tbvr points, 197; Darlington Fac tory, 2,000; total, 14,471. The shipments during the fall of 1887 were as follows: Charleston, 8977; Wilmington, 2170; Norfolk, 1762; other points, 1165; Darlington Factory, 3,000 ; total, 17,024. From these figures it will be seen that the increse in the amount sent to Wilmington baa been about twelve and a half per cent; that to Nor felk r more than fifteen per cent; while the amount bought by tbe (ac. tory has been increased by fifty per cent. Six hundred per cent repre senta the increase in the uumber of bales eeut to other points, while the uumber sent to Charleston bas grown by less tban one and ah,til per eeut The percentage of increase has been greater to New York tban to any other point, only ten bales having been shipped last season as against 934 fur the present one. If we should make any comment on this aerion a comparative falling off of the shipments to Charleston* and should attempt to assigu any planaable reason therefor, we might be included among the “country papers” who hare been so denounc ed tor their “dislike for Charleston.” Aa we have a great love aud veuer- atian for tbe dear old city, and as wo do not relish being placed in any aoch category, we will refrain from aoy comment whatsoever. Tbe facts apeak moat eloquently for Ihemaelves j we cannot forbear tbe samaxk, however, that if the Char hmUm market has lost any of tbe eotlou to which by nature it la euti lied, and which for years it has con- trolled, tbe cause may not be far to •eek. the party of the first part the aiuoaut of four dollars per foot for esc h and every font Imr^d and tab- ed, counting trom tbe surface, pro vided ih it iu unease shall the depth excee d 1200 fee*. VII. The party of ibe seem d part al-o covenants and agrees to supply to no party of the lirst pa;t all the water that may be needed to Sup ply his steam engine during tbe prosecution of tbe work. VIII. The party ot the first part also covenants aud agre s that in ca^e a greater depth thau 800 feet is required by the party of tbe sec ond put, for which be will bs paid die sum oi four doiars per foot as stated in Section VI. ot «bts agree ment, then and in that event, tbe expo .sesof transportation upon the tools aud machinery will be borne by the party of tbe first part. In witness whereof the < arties hereto have herruutoset their bauds and seal*, this twenty-first day of January, 1888. Tne intention ot tbe 6th Section of this agreement not being perfect ly clear, the attorneys for Dr. Will cox have deemed it proper to add provisos to tbe following effect: SSould water not be reached at the depth ot 8U0 f«et, the Town can com pel the contractors to go on to 1200 feet by paying tbe latter four dol lars a foot for every foot over 800. Iu tbe event that they should not reach water at the depih of 1200 feet, and that the'own authorities should desire to proceed further, they will manage the business from that poiut tor ihemsehea, the con tractors agreeing to lot them have tbe use of the necessary machinery aud instruments, free of all charge, beyrnd that incurred lor ordinary “wear and tear.” These additional proviaos have been forwarded to Mr. Cunningham, aud as soon as lu re'urns them, the work will be pro eeeded with promptly. Darlington’s Artesian Well Mr. George 1. Cunningham, ex- Mayor of Charleston, to whom bas been awarded tbe contract for bor- ** our Artesian well, has signed the following agreement in regard ta the matter: This agreement made aud enter- ad into hetwteo Geo. 1. Cunning ham, of Charleston, State of South Carolina, party of tbe first part, and XO. Willcox, Mayor of Darlington, State aforeaaid, in behalf of the Town Council of Darlington, party af tbe second part, witoes*eth: Tbe party of the first part hereby aoveuants and agrees to aud with tie party of the cecoud part ;- I. To excavate and construct in workmanlike manner a well at any poi; t in tbe Town ot Darlington wbieh may be designated by tbe party of the second part. II. The work to be began as soon aa tbe necessary well tubing shall be ready, and to be prosecu'ed un interruptedly until finished. The party of the second part here by covenants aud agrees to and with tbe party of the first part; III. To furnish and deliver at the point designated for the boring of tbe well, tbe necessary tnbing known aa ' heavy flush-joint artesian well tubing.” IV. To pay tbe freight from Charleston to Dailingtou, and the baoling to the designated spot, ot all the machinery and tools requir ed and famished by the party of the first part for tbe proper boring of said well, and also to pay tbe eoet ot baol'ng back to the railr* ad depot in Darlington, an 1 the xe- tam. freight to Charleston, when said well shall have been finished. V. To pay to tbe party of tbe flnt part tbe amount of three dollars per foot for each and every foot pro perly bored and tubed as far aa 800 leet from tbe surface,provided th t ii sufficient water is found at a depth leia than 800 feet, the amount of tsreoty-foar hundred dollars will oovortbeless be paid bv the party oi the second part to tbe party of tie first pert, just the same aa If tbe depth of 800 fiet had been reached. VL Shoo'd U be necessary to lore deeper than 800 feet, the party af (be second part agrees to pay to ' be bad. So a messenger was call ed and the silver was taken to Wall street and exchange*! for bills. Mr. Perkins got $4,000 of gr**en geo la in three packages of $10,15 and $1 bills and Mr. Bogers got $400 in good money. Tbe Easiness was settled yesterday morning and Mr. Rogers and Mr. Perkins iett the hotel ur n in arm. The county com- niissiun. r carried a new hag con taining the green goods. They took a car to the Desbri-sses Street Ferry ml were ju-t going through the fei rv gate wbi n McCloskey aud Mulhulland seized them. Mr. Rogers got out a big pistol, but it was knocked to tbe sidewalk and one chamber exploded. He was quickly subdued and was taken to police headquarters with tbe coun ty cominitsiouer. The latter protested against the arrest ef bis friend Rogers Inspec tor Byrnes told Mr Perkins that be had been swind'ed, aud Mr. Per kins denied it. Tbe iuapectnr opened the satchel, took out the packages of money, broke tbe little rubber band8 { aud green paper with no tnaiks ou it fell upon the floor. “Well, I’ll be goldarned,” eX claimed Mr^Perkins, “ifthat doaut beat anythin’ I ever seed.” Tbis was tbe first idea that be got of the swindle, aud he said that be hoped that it would not get into tbe papers. Tbe green p. p*-r pack- agi a were covered by good money, there being two $10, two $5 aud t wo $1, in all making $32. luorder that Mr. Perkins would not have to break tbe packages before b-av- iug tbe city, Mr. Rogers gave him $15tobuya railroad ticket home. The county commisaiouer was sent io the Uouse of D* tendon and the swindh-r was locked up at bead- quarters and will be taken to tbe J fifi-rson Market Court this morn- mg. Caught in a Swindler’s Net. [From the New Terk Tribune, Jen 24 ] Asbury U. Perkins is a tall, dig nified man with a pleasant face and keen bine eyes. He is a farmer, aud lives in Lancaster, 8 O. He is a prominent man in the communi y, bas the confidence of every one, and when be was appointed county com missiouer about a year ago every body iu the neighborhood said that be was tbe right man iu tbe right place. Mr. Perkins came to New York during Obristmaa week aud stop ped at Earle’s Hotel. He had just returned from Boston, where be had left $200,000 in county bouds in the vunlts of a safe deposit oom pauy. Mr Perkiua stalled out for a stroll up Bro. dway during tbe afternoon to pass away several bom s before the train left for the 8outh Near Bleecker street a well-dressed man came up from behind, hit him a vigorous slap on the back, grasp- ed bis baud, abook it with gr< at vigor, aud said that be was bssrtily glad to see him. He was a little astonished aud did uot think that tbia was the proper way to treat a county commissioner, but tbe man would uot hear of auv rebuffs, took bold of his arm in a moat familiar mauuer, and said that they would take a walk together. Ou tbe way- up to 14th street Mr. Perkins found that he bad met an old friend from Charleston. His friead knew ail about Lancaster, aud flattered Mr Perkins by telling bimlbat since he h id been made eounty commission er tbe flnauces of tbe county had been greatly improved. Tue man knew so much about Mr. Perkin’s family and history that by the time they got to 14tb street tbe county official was thoroughly infatuated with his new-fouudtiiend, aud invi ted him to quench his thirst iu the Morton House. While standing at tbe bar Mr. Wilson, as tbe man had called him self, became confidential and told Mr. Perkins that, although he was doing splendidly iu tire clothing business, yet he was making a large amount of money in a quiet way. He asked him It he had ever heard of “green goods.” Tbe South Caro linian replied in the negative. Then Mr. Wilson explained that they were coun'erfeit bills so clever ly executed that no one could te l tbe bills from genuine ones. He demonstrated the fact by baying several drinks «t the bar and pay ing for them with some of the “green goods,” as be said. Mr. Perkins, as an honest man, said that be did not want to deal in counterfeit money, bnt Mr. Wilson quieted his conscience by telling him that the Government officials at Washington yearly applied mil- lions of dollars of tbis sort of money to their own nse, and that he had as much right to the money as they bed. Perkings thought so too, and ex pressed his regret that be had not met Wilson fo-fore going to Bos ton, as he then bad about $200,000 with him aud could have gone into the business on a larger scale. However, it was settled that he was to go back to Lancaster, get some money. a»d come after tbe “green goods.” This was the day after Christmas. Since then Mr. Perkins has been in commanication with Wilson by letter and he arrived here last Sun day from Lancaster. At Earle’s Hotel he was introduced to Wil liam Rogers, who had been dele- gaied-by Wilson to look after tbe business. Detectives McCloskey and Mnlholland have long been on the track of Rogers, aud when they saw him with the county commis sioner they concluded that an “oyster” had been found and kept a watch on them. Mr. Perkins bad brought with him $400, for which he was to get $4,000 in “green goads.” He had $280 iu silver dol lars, and Rogers “kicked” at tbis and said that some of them might Darlington in Congress. (Cor'espoatUnce ofTh«N*w« and Courier.j At the instance of Mr. Dargan, George E. Hamer has been appoint ed postmaster at Clio, the same geu tleman has also secured tbe estab lishment of a ueW office at Eulonia, with Mrs. A. J. Wall as postmaster. Petitions for the improvement of Wiuvah Bay are still coming in, and the amount gener liy A-k« d for is $300,000. Mr Dargan filed a lengthy petition a few days ago, which was tamed over to the com mittee on rivers and harbors.

How to Get the State Pension for Con federate Soldiers The blank applications for pen sions under the recent Act of tbe General Assembly were received at the office of tbe clerk ot Court last week, and the disabled veterans of tbe late War will at length he able to receive at least a little help from the State iu wbpse service they re ceived their wounds. Tbe a j'plica tions, while carefully drawn, are simple enough and cost the appli cant nothing. The forms require : First. The application for pen sion iu which is given the name aud address ot the applicant, tbe com pauy and regiment in which he served, the place and date of re ceiving the wound which disabled him and a statement th it be is in capacitat' d tor earning a livelihood and that neither the applicant nor his wife is receiving an income ex ceeding $250 per annum from “wa ges, salary or any other service,” This must be sworn to. Second. Th-* affidavit of one or more creditable witnesses, certify ing that they know the applicant, and believe that tbe abatements contained in hi« application are true. Third. Tbe affidavit of a regu larly licensed physician 'hat the ap plicant is snBVring from the effects of bis wounds as slated in tbe ap plication. Fourth. The nffi'Uvit of the connty anditor, certifying that he has examined tbe application, and that tbe applicant's income does not exceed $250 p< r air nm, and neither he nor a ife in possetged of sufficient property te produce such iuco i e. Fifth. Tbe affidavit of the clerk of Court oonifying he knows the appl>cant and tbe persons whose affidavits are attached to the appli cation, aad thst they are citizousof the county and Sta'e aud are worthy of b-lief: also to the good standing of the physician, and that n his judgment the application shot. Id be grauted. Tbese blanks will be furnished disabled Confederate veterans ou application to the clerk'd C un, aad no tee is attached o tbe aigu- ing of any of tbe certificates. The pension is five dollars per month. The Clerk of the Court also bas the uvcessury blanks to 'be widows of those Confederate soldiers who lost their lives iu tbe late war. It is important that those entitled to receive these itenaions should make application for the blanks promptly They contdn the following facts: 1. The application slating that tbe applicant is the widow of , who was a bona fide soldier in the late war an i lost his life iu theser vice: that her hoorne does not ex oeed $250 per auumn from all sour ces, and that she was ou tin* 24: h of December, 1887, and is now a citizen of the State, aud is now an married. These must be sworn to before tbe clerk of Court. 2. Tbe affidavit ol two persons that they know tbt applicant aud know her to be the widow of the liersoo named and that be lo*t his life In the service. 3. The certificate of the county auditor that tbe income of tbe ap plicant does not exceed $250 per annum either from wages, salary or any other source, and that she bas not sufficient property to produce i such income. [It is difficult to see how the audi tor can make such a cerificate without going totbe trouble to iu vestigate each case separately. Tbis objection was urged when the bill was under discussion in the House of ReprC'ieutatives, but it was overruled, and there would seem to be nothing else for the audi tor to do tban tw inquire into each case tbit comes- before him.] 4. The certificate of tbe clerk of Conrt that be knows the parties whose names are signed to tbe affi davits above, that they are citizens of tbe connty and State and are worthy of belief. Requiescat in Pace Modett Ben Tiilnun has written another long letter to the News and Courur sp omI with acrid adjectives and characteristic self conceit which, however ridiculous, is cer tainly most amusing. He compares himself to a dead lion and the news paper men to jackasses, and speaks of the members of the Legislature as ’'political harlots” and “bow dye- do state men,” speaks of tbe Gita del as the “Dude Factory,” imputes unworthy aim and motives to al most everybody, ai»d magnifies his own magnanimity and disinterested ness of purpose in Inis-hum phrases. In other words, yesterday’s News aud Courier contains over two col nmu- of as ridiculously offensive rot as any that he has heretofore published. It is the valedictory of aj-iiappeo'ed politician, whof-iled, utterly failed, in his grotesque mas querade as the champion of far- mer’s'righta because he deserved to fail. When propriety of speech and courtesy of deportment shall cease to be esteemed as gentle manly virtnes in 8* uth Carolina, then, and then only, can Capt. Tillman hope tqsncceed in the pro pagation of his i.amorous fallacies and revolutionary theories. The only coin*ervariv< part of his letter is Where be expresses H e determi nation to give up all this abusive and reckless agitation and atteud hen-after to his own business. VVehave repeatedly advis-dCapt. Tillman to ibis course and we are glad to see that be has at last de termined to profit by it. By curb ing I is fondu-ss for p raoual abuse and reckless pn!itic»l agira lion, and coming down to real bard licks ou his own farm, there-a no rea-on why h>* should not retrieve the errors of the past, and become an iiidustrons and successtul tar- fcer. We are afraid how ver that the foise of habit is so irresisiible that when fodder pulling tune arrives, be will Tange off from the farm, and in his eagerness to pitch into th«* “Dude Factorv” and the “Political Harlots” and “How dy do States men,” he w ill forget all about sow ing fall turnips.—Aifcn Recorder.
