COCK FIGHTING.
One of the Itesl Acu patiwd by
tbe General Assembly tluriut' its
last setwiou, is one makinj; it * mis
demeanor lor any person to engiige
in or be present at cock-fighting,
within three miles of any chartered
institution of learning in this State.
This is a good law and we wish to
see it carried iifto < fivet; we hope,
if the Graded Schools are ever or
ganized in Uirliugton, that it will
put an end to cock fighting in our
town. Not that we meau to say
that cock fighting is carried onto
any great extent in Darlingtou for
such is not tbe case; in fact
there is little oock>flghnug dot e
here. What we wish to speak par
ticularly of is this—that the above
mentioned Act was passed through
tbs Legiwkitnre is greatly due to
the course \ nrsued by many of the
papers of tbe State which waged
uuoeaaiug warfare against this bar
barous sport. Not the least par t in
this crusade did the News and Cou
rier take, ou tbe coutrarj we give
H the credit of doing more towards
effecting the passage of the btll
than any other paper in tbe State.
It made its attacks upon the cock
pit at Columbia especially severe,
and it seemed to grieve very much
over tbs blot upon that city’s fair
name No words were too severe
for the News and Courier to express
its condemnation of speh wicked
ness within tbe corporate limits of
the State’s capital.

CONVICT LABOR.
A bill has bren iiitroduci d iu
Congresa which forbids the selling
of articles manufactured by con
vict labor outside of the State iu
which they are made. This bill, if
passed, will affect seriously ever}
State in the Union and South Car
olina not tbe least. In this State
and other Southern States particu
larly the convicts confined in tht
penitentiaries and county jai's are
a lazy indolent set and could lie
put to uo better use than to be
made to support themselves. IVni
tentiaries can be and in many cases
are self snpporting, but the passage
of this bill will socurtail tbe employ
ment of convicts from which the
State might draw a large revenue
that the many prisoners now in the
penitentiaries and jails will be a
dead weight on the people. In
stead of. being made to sappott
themselves they will lie idle in
their cells while the prople will be
taxed more heavily to defray the
expenses oi these Government
boarders. g »
Tbe stockings and shoes now
made jn the penitentiary at Colum
bia find a ready and profitable sa'e
beyond tbe borders of the State
and the effect of the bill w ill be to
ao limit t je demand that could, un
der the law, be supplied, that tbe
manufacturing of (hose articles will
be less profitable and tbe means
by which the conviets can be
made t o support themselves
and the tax payers ofib“ country
be freed from a heavy burden, will
Reoessarily be decreased.
Equally, if not more important,
particularly in South Carolina is
the effect this law will have on the
monu&ct u ring of phosphates. The
revenne the State derives from this
industry is large and the work is
mainly done by convict labor. Any
law that will limit tbe market for
the sale of this article will greatly
diminish tbe profits of both the
State and mauufaoiorers.
We hope that Congress will not
see fit to pans a bill that will so
cripple the retenue of the States
aad increase ^|e hardens of the
tax payers. * ’ * ^ ^

The Senate committee on agricul-

on ihe flouse hill to enlarge the,
duties of die Department ot Agri

the House, provided lor the trans

been struck out of tbe bill by the
Senate committee.
The Rt-pablicaus of the House
have backed dowu iu a most in
glorious manner by declining to ac
cept the proposition made them by
Representative Mills to taks a vot.*
ou the substitute which the Repub
licans proposed offering, and tbeu
ou the Mills tarift bill, without fur
tber discussion or amendment.
Tin* action on the part of the lie
publicans shows plainly that they
were afraid the bill would pass if
they allowed it to come to a vote
without further del y The bill
will, when taken op again, be con

Tbe Darlington Revival-
(Rer. H. G. Scuddar, in 8. C. Adeooat# )
For the past five weeks Darling
ton has. be -n stirred on religious
topics as never lu-lore in her history.
It is not a surta e work. Tlfere ha-*
been the alsteiiC'- of what the world
calls “excitement.” Inn-rest pro
found and deep b.t* pervaded every
class in the comimn ity tiom tin*
chuicli official t*» tin- e'erk behind
the bar. On the a;reels, .n the
hotiiua, in places of bu-iaess, reli
gtou h *s boon the topic ofconv. rsa
tiou, and at tun s mod. r.it ion has
bee i lost sight o', ami i.i one or l wo
ius'ances parties have given way
to passion and resorted to “force of
arms.” I heard of one party being
knocked d wn in a bar room, who
afterwards pruf.-s-td conversion
and joined the church. This stat*-
ol tilings was uoiieeahle more par
ticui illy at the beginning of Bioth-
er Leiich’s meetings. He at once
began to uncover and denounce the
popular sins ot the day, and to hold
up the sins and iuconsiateucies of
the average church member in such
fierceness and boldness that it nat
urally produced two fact ions. Both,
however, were constant in attend
ing the meetings to the close. I
think L is generally admitted tint
Brother Li-ilch left Darlingtou with
tbe love and sympathy ot the en
tire coinummiy, having made
friends of (hose who were first op
posing him, and having succeeded
in welcoming many of them into
the church ami seeing them bnppi-
ly converted and blessed of God
He is certainly, iu the hand of God,
a master of assemblies, a man of
great pliability iu tbe Spirit’s hands,
and is used by H m iu sending red
hot arrows of reproof ami convic
lion to the hearts of the baldest
sinners. In the language of one of
our Presidiug Elders: “Thank Gt*d
that in the chest of tools for reli-
gious.work iu this State, there s
one file, and it is Tom Leilcli.”
The union meetings conducted
by him closed ou Sunday night,
April 29tb. They were attended
all thiough by overflowing congre
gations, and at times the largest
gatherings ever seen here. The
interest coulinued lo the close, it
is haid to estimate the number of
co versions ; u * account was kept.
It is also difficult toestimate the re
sul s, as we expect for time to come
to reap from the so*ing done The
number applying for membership
in tHa dift«ramt. ehnrohoa wora aKnnt
eighty ; others have applied since
who were reached in his meetings.
Immediately at the close of tln-so
meetings the tent of the Holi
ness Association was pitch* d, * Inch
has proved a great hles-i'ig to us.
The community was ripe f r it. The
meetings began on Tuesday night
and continued til; Sunday ight
following. The bn threii labored
tailhtully, both at the tent and in
the homes ot our pcifple, and' ilieir
work was grca’lv b essed of God.
Many were eou'»rt* d. an I many
accepted the Savior as their sane
lifier, and puhhc'y professed the
expetienee of perb-ci love. Thank
God for this meeting and wlnt ii
has done to r our Master, our church,
and the cause of Methodism ;u this
section of the State. It w *s ac
know bulged to be the best meeting
told in the State. Among th*-
brethren wholabond with us and
added in’f’iest to the meeting wee
Revs W. A. Dodge anti J. L. lve\,
of Georgia, T. G. Herbert, VV. A-
Cl rk , Joh A. Porter and John
M. Pike of our Conference, and
quite a number of lay men from dil
ferent sections of the State, among
them being the Hon. H. U. Ne* toe,
of Bennettsville, who is piovilig
himself a valiant soldier of the
cross. May God raise up a host
like him in the ranks of the lay men
Since tlrs meeting began seventeen
have applied for church member
ship, and tbe work is still going i n
at the church. We have folly four
applicants, and by Sutidiy we ex
pect at least tifry to be received into
full connection.
The work began nnder the h-a-
dership ot a lion, it is being • uded
by a lamb. Miss Mattie M. Gor
don, of Nashville, who did such a
wond* rful work in Augusta during
ihe iec*ut revivals, accepted an in
viiatiou to be with us, and has won
the hearts of our people by her
beautiful Bible talks ami the' won
derful life of faith she is living.
She is the finest exp >sit »r of Scrip
iur- we have efer jieard. Her
meetings are largely attended by
nil of our people, and she receives
in 1 er work the endorsement ol all
who hear her. She leavts heie to
begin woikiuone of our Charlo-
ton churches. More about her
work lat**r.
Of a truth, God is with us, and is
mightily moving His people.
Gordon Rifles. .
The company has received forty
new breech loading rifles with bayo
nets and accoutrements complete.
These guns are ot the'most approv
ed army model and came direct-
from the Ar-enal .it Rock Island,
Illinois. They are new and with
(heir handsome black walnut stock
and bronze barrel make beautiful
weapons. As there is to be a prize

E roficient man’in the company, ihe

pidity with which they learned the
field movement* we predict aeon
test well worth seeing on the ihird
ol July.
The public and especially the la
dies are invited to attend the prize
drill. The admission fee will be
small, and as tbe company is iu need
of funds, we think that from i be
energy that the fortunes of the Gor
don Rifles have been pushed, that
the organisation deserves the bear
ty support of tbe community. Let
all come, especially the ladies.—

*)» Art «f Modern Cooking.
The social science associations of the
country hare ably discussed a large num
ber of subjects involving the welfare of
the human race. But, so far as we are
aware, no one of them has made an earn
est effort to discover the cause of the back
wardness with which the useful, the in
dispensable art of cooking advances. The
man that travels much is painfully aware
of the existence of such backwardness.
True, In our large cities there are enough
good cooks, cooks that raise their vocation
to the dignity of a profession. But these
are the exceptions. The fact remuins that
when one gets off the great main line he
discovers that as a rule the cook of the
period is not a contributor to the progress
of the age, but rather to dyspepsia.
Why should this be so? So much cook
ing has been done iu all parts of the
world, including the Cannibal Islands,
from time immemorial that it does seem
as if all its secrets ought to l»e iu the pos
session of all Its votaries in this well ad
vanced stage of the Nineteenth century.
And yet it was only the other day that
the editor of a leading New England news
paper rose with a sigh and remarked that
a great popular want of that venerable
section of the Union was a more general
diffusion of country inns at which one
could get a truly “square meal of
victuals.’’ And whut is true of New Eng
land is measurably true of the middle
states, Is true with a vengeance of the
south and of the hog and hominy Occi
dent. The country inn at which a truly
square meal is served would seem to be
the exception. Inns abound at which the
bread is os heavy as an amateur epic, the
coffee as difficult to settle as Dick Swivel-
ler’s debts, the steak—fried. As for the
cooking iu the back country of Canada—
well, the United States is at peace with
the Dominion, and we have no desire to
say anything that is calculated to disturb
the existing friendly relations.—New

A Few Oastronomlcal Items.
Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, says the
sweetest thing on earth to him U “pud
dled duck and sweet potatoes,’’ and an
old waiter at Washington says that John
C. Calhoun dearly loved sweet potatoes
and opossum. He would come into a
restaurant and say: “I want you to get
me a nice fat oppomum. You must cook
it the day after it is killed; parboil it first
and then put it into a hot oven with
boffed sweet potatoes around it, and cook
it slowly nntil it is brown. If you can
get a 'coon make some 'coon gravy and
pour it over the ’possum and flavor with
salt, pepper and sage.
Calhoun often hunted ’possumshimself.
He liked hot corn bread and busenits, and
the only part of a chicken he wouhl eat
was tbe breast. Andy Johnson’s favorite
bread was the old fashioned coni dodger,
and Zach. Taylor, upon sitting down to
an elaborate dinner and looking with an
annoyed expression at the biff of fare,
was asked If there wm anything more
that he wanted. He replied, as he scan
ned the pate de fol gras and the other
French dainties:
“This is all very well, but I would
really prefer some flitch and eggs.’’ Tay
lor was very fond af iced milk, and it is
tboncht thak the lunch of oharrtoa which
he washed down with iced milk on the
day of the laying of the corner stone of
the Washington monument had a great
deal to do with helping him into his coffin.

Slaughter House* of Parte.
Close by the market of I .a Villette are
the slaughter houses where the oxen are
killed by a blow from the merlin anglaia,
a sort of sledge hammer, one extremity
of which is rounded into the form of a
punch. The slaughter man strikes the
ox in tbe middle of the forehead and
puuches a hole which stuns the animal,
and through this hole he plunges a cane
iuto the brain and the animal dies in
stantly. The ox is only bled after it is
dead. Tbe Jewish butchers, ou the other
hand, who have a special organization
depending on the consistory of Paris,
bleed their beeves alive. At the slaugh
ter bouse the Jewish butchery is directed
by a controller, who has under his or
ders sebohtim or sacri fleers. There are
generally five schohtiin. When a butcher
wishes to have an ox killed for Jewish
customers he applies to the controller,
who sends him a schohet to kill the beast
according to the Mosaic law. The ox
has his four feet bound with a cord,
which is attached to a windlass and
tightened until the animal falls on its
side helpless. A helper pulls back tha
head of the ox, and the schohet, recit
ing meutaily a prayer, advances and cut*
its throat at one stroke, and the animal
Is left to bleed to death and die in
agony so terrible that it melts the hearts
even of the slaughter men, who often
give the ox a blow with the hammer to
put an end to his sufferings in spite of
the Mosaic code.—Pari* Cor. New York
Sun.
Nationality In Beards.
An observant friend who had been ex
amining a collection of faces representing
a large number of the public men in the
United States, made the following general
conclusions iu regard to national typos in
the cutting of the beard, which contain
more than a grain of truth. “The simple
mustache, with the rest of the face dean
shaven, is the prevailing American typa,”
he said. “The old time Yankee chin
whisker, like that of the traditional Uncle
Sam, is no longer the national cut In
the same way the old French type of the
imperial, or heavy mustache and long
goatee, has given way In France to the
present type of a close cut full beard
trimmed to double points on the chin.
The German and Russian national types
sre heavy full beards parted at the middle
of the chin. The English type is a small,
short cropped mustache, with small
square side growths. The general south
European type of Spain or Italy is either
in entirely clean shaven face or else a
very small mustache and goatee crowded
close about tbe mouth.—Boston Adver
tiser.
Foreigner* In • Restnnrant.
Notice a Frenchman, or an Italian, or a
Spaniard enter a strange restaurant, anil
see how he reveals his European training
as soon as he crosses the threshhold. He
raises h!s hat alighMy, bows and takes a
seat. This little caremony means iu Eng
lish: “Gentlemen, I am a stranger, but I
hope no intruder.’’ When he has paid his
score to the cashier, especially if she be a
dame dn comptoir, os in his own country,
he tips his hat, bids her good day and goes
out into the world again, leaving a sunny
ray of courtesy behiod him. These little
things count in the long ran.—New York
World.
New Sort of Rare.
A new sort of horse race recently took
place. The distance was % mile and a
half. The horses walked the first half
mile, trotted the second and ran the last.
Fifteen started.
