The Entertainment tor the Episcopal

(Reported for tbe Dwrlisgtea New* by lbs

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.

directed entirely by mosie, and the
effect was particalarly striking end

Tbe play, “Among the Break

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 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."

(Frvm Our Regular Corrcapaadanl.)
Washington, Maroh 30th ’88.
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-

Tbe funeral ot the late Chief Jna

and by tbe foreign legatioua. The

reading of the Episcopal burial
service, and did not last more than
twento minutee. The body, accom

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."
