The Entertainment tor the Episcopal Church. (Reported for tbe Dwrlisgtea New* by lbs resides! Cer. of tbe News sad Cos Her.) The entertainment given on Mon day Right of D>ia week, at tbe Op era House, for the beoeftt of the Episcopal Church, was, taken aa a whole, ibe moat successful ever K ‘ eu by amateurs on Ihst stage. e novelty and variety of its fea ts ret, made it particularly attrac tive. To follow the programme, the first in order came the “Broom Drill," by a aqnad of eight young girls in appropriate ooetumee of white trimmed with red. On their beads they wore ooqnetiab red cape, and in their hands they carried the broom—woman’s bietorio weapon. The precision with which they ex coated each movement, both io the manual and In the march, showed the moat oarefnl training, and fre quent barsta of applause showed the apprreietkm of the aodienee. la the march, beokward and feei- Inga, oar local company in the State Une were pat to the biash. Next la order came the “Fan Drill." after Addieoo’a femeas mod el. lh this sash movement waa directed entirely by mosie, and the effect was particalarly striking end beantitnL Tbe play, “Among the Break era" is fall of inoblent and gives op portunity lor fine acting. In acen- taoy »l oo oeption the part pU\ed by David Murray was a success Charming Bess Starbright added to the list of friends which she had already made iu Darlington. Old Mother Caret ’a great suooeas in a moat difficult role, will be long re membered by ell lovers of tbe drama here. Sweet Biddy Ban* and her honest Larry Divine made love iu such a uatuial way that they were excused for “breaking the pace" Paragraph, the “news paper man," could not resist the winsome Minnie Dane, though, sorely tempted. Send waa a decid ed success. He won the good will ot the house from tbe first, and kept it as be well deserved io do. After . tbe peril ot tbe storm the Hon. Brace Hunter should have felt fully repaid by tbe restoration of his long lost daughter. Iu bis generous treatment of • David Mur ray be bad certainly showed him self a noble man. Mr. Clarauoe Hunter waa fully repaid for his careful acting by winning the band of the pretty Bess Starbright. Be tween the first and second acta, Mr R. E. James sang a character “Dade" song with great success and was rewarded by a hearty “encore." The play thronghoet showed the most careful preparation. There was no hitch in the entire perform aooe. In spite of tbe bad night there waa a good house, and all who were there agree in saying that tbe entertainment should be repeat ed. When in the same good canae, another evening of eqjojment i* offered to oar people, we feel sore that tbe house will be orowiied. The people of Darliogtou know a good thing when they see it. The Gaiuey baud and orchestra was on hand and the meaie waa, of coarse, of the very best. I THE FRATERNAL CEMETERY AS SOCIATION. How It waa Organised and what It Proposes to Do. The Fraternal Oemetery Associa tion is an association composed of tbe members of Florence Lodge, No. 1319, Knights of Honor; Har mony Lodge, No. 8, Knights of P.vthiaa; Pee Dee Division, No. 265, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers; Florence Council,.No. 616, American Legion of Honor Tbe prime mover t tbe association is Mr. William Hoffmeyer, tbe ever faith ful and conscientious Knight of Honor. Mr. Hoffmeyer ia one rf the few who practices what be preaches. He is always tryieg to carry oat end perfect, that true charity which bolds np the weak, protects the helpless, encourages all that is good and crashes down all that is evil. Mr. Hofftoeyer’a first thought Wits to hia own lodge, in it be would lie better able to aaeore something more durable than words. He advised his lodge to purchase a burial grouud. They acted on his advioe, begun tiicir prepare tions, and sent oat a committee consisting ot Messrs. Win. Hofflney- er, G. W. Gee, J. 8. Beck, G. G Cole and C. H. Newtou to work op the scheme. This aotiou on tbe part of tbe Knights of Hooor was spokt-n of nexi in ihe Castle Hail of Harmony Lodge; which lodge having like oiedgea to perform to wards its dead, took ap tbe idea and sent out e committee consist log of Messrs. P. H. Wash, M L. A Gardner aul Hector McBween, to oouler with the ooo>miitee from the Kuighta of Honor aud to ask that lodge that tbe Knights ol Py thias be permitted to oo operate with them in tbeir new undertak ing. Abont this time the sanjeot of the oemetery was brought ap in the Brotherhood ol Locomotive En gineers, and this Division sent oat a committee consisting of Messrs. J. L. Farmer, J. L Wysoa and J. J. Jennings; while, at the same time, tbe American Legion ot Hon or took np tbe subject, and like tbe other Orders appointed a commit tee oonaisfng of Messta. W. M. Brown, L. W. Hodges, 0. H. New man and J. W. Stroud. At the first meeting of the oom mittee of the Koigbts of Hooor, the committees from the other three Orders asked for admittance which was granted. Each committee told of its mission, which was reported back to Florence Lodge, Ne. 1309, Knights of Honor; this lodge wel comed the other lodges, and at its next meeting, September 5th, 1887, the orgauixation of “Fraternal Cem etery Association" waa perfected. An application was filed with tbe Clerk of Conn for a charter, which wee granted Octob«r20, 1887. The Aesooietion then purchased three acres of land aitoaied at tbe Booth- east border of the town limits, which have been neatly clear ed, and there is sot a piece of root or stamp remaining on the premi ses. Tbe grounds are thoroughly drained ami laid oil in Iota meaenr- ing 16x27 feet The oemetery is enclosed by a good fence The as sociation is not contented, but will eadeever to beautify the place, and make it equal to any burial ground in Ihe Boath. The lots hove been assigned to the members of the va rious Orders above aMBtioned, num bering one hottdred aed eighty, while there is still enough left to •apply new members who may come in. The expeeeoe of “Fraternal Cem etery Association" are paid from the trseeary of the lodges, each lodge th, regardieee of strength. Membership of the neeocietloe is hi bership in the ledges who may be piping ooe-1 numerical et lodges are deprived of their mem bership in the association ; there fore it is well that all concerned should live np to their vows. Each member ia thus taught that tbe i brightest jewels wl.icii hia Order ga ners are the tears uf widows and urphaus, while the Imperative com mand ot hie obligation ia that he mast visit the homes where lacera ted hearts are bleeding, assuage the sufferings of a brother, bury the deed, care for the widow, end ed -cate the orphae. Tbe laws of ihe Orders are the laws of reason and equity: their cardinal doctrines inspire parity of thought and life, and love of truth, while their car dinal prineiplea are “Peace oo earth and good will toward men."

Who is to succeed Chief Justice Waite f That’s what every body wants to know and what Mi. Cleve land alone has the power to decide. It is, owing to the present peculiar status of the eight associate Jua tiers of tbe Supreme Court, tbe moat important single qneation per haps that any President has had to decide. Uu more than one important qneation which ia likely to come be fore the Court for action tbe Jus tices are known to be evenly divid ed, which practically givea Mr. Cleveland an opportunity te make tbe decisions himself by selecting a man for the position who thinks as be does. Many men in different sections of the coudtry have been favorably mentioced for tbe honor; it has even been • suggested that Mr, Cleveland should resign, and that Secretary Bayard, who would suc ceed him as President, should ap poiut Mr. Cleveland Chief Justice. This arrangement would be an ad mirable oue were it not for tbe tact that the people of the country seem to have made op tbeir minds that Mr. Cleveland’s aervioea are need ed at tbe White Honse four years longer from the fourth of March next. From the best information that can lie obtained at present, either Postmaster General Dickiusou or Speaker Carlisle will be made Chief Justice. Bat in any event the oonotry may safely trust the whole matter to Mr. Cleveland. He will take bis own time and select tbe very beat man for tbe place. He baa made no seriona mistakes in hia important appointments up to this time aud is not likely to break hia record now, oo the eve of hia re- oiGctiou Tbe funeral ot the late Chief Jna tioe Waite, on Wednesday, in tbe h«ll of the House of Represents tires wm largely attended by prom iuent officials of oor Government and by tbe foreign legatioua.

Clans Spreckles, the California sugar king, who is now in thiseity. told Commissioner ol Agriculture Coleman that be had imported 25 tons of beet seed, -rhich would be planted by 163 California farmer' ou 2,000 acres of laud this season. He is now erecting au extensive and expensive plant at Watson ville, California to work np this pro duct and expects to make 5,000 tona of beet sugar this year and to double it next year. When Mr. Coleman waa asked whether this beet project of Mr. Spreckles would antagonize the sorghum industry which is just be- ginuiug to be very valuable, owing to experiments by the Agricnltnral Department he said : “Not at all. The beet is only another string to our bow. We shall have a grand wedding between sorghum aud beets, and manufacture enough swtets not only for tbe nuptial festivities, but also to supply a goodly share of what we now im port." Representative Stewait, of Geor gia, has iutioduord iu the House a bill to amend tbe naturalization laws so aa to require would be citi zens to make oath that they are not polygamist*, anarchists orcommuu iata. The sooner the bill becomes a law be better. In a special message to CongreM the President recommends the pas* sage of a law to prevent tbe impor taiion of hogs from Frauoe or Ger many, owing to the prevalence of disease among the bogs in various sections of those countries. It will probably strike those foreign authorities that Americans under stand bow to play a little game called “tit for tat." Hon. W. H. Barnum, chairman of the National Democratic Com mittee was iu tbe city this week, but declined to be interviewed fur ther than to say that he considered the outlook very flattering. It la genera ly understood here that Mr. Barnum, who is uot io eutire sym pathy with Mr. Cleveland on the tariff question, will retire from tbe chairmanship of tue committee at tbe St. Louis convention, aud that he will be succeeded by W.
