This improve ment is all the more marked a* it has taken place almost entirely within the last five years, and is in such striking contrast to the leth argy of the seventeen or eighteen years which preceded it. From the close cl the war to within five or six vmars ago, it really seemed as i old Colombia would never rally from the blight which had been placed upon her by Sherman and his vandals. Her merchants took their daily walks through the bad ly kept streets from their neglected looking dwellingt to their uuprofit able place of business with listless, lagging, steps as if in sheer despair at the dullness and inactivity which surrounded them.

Facto rite of various kinds have been erected in the suburbs, elegant pri vate residences and flue atorea are going ap on every hand, and many modern improvementa, which have recently been pat iulo operation auehaa the street railway, the tele phone system, the fire alarm tele graph and the free mail delivery add oooaiderably to thecomfort of its inhabitants sud increase the bu ainess like appearance of the town New people from the wealthy North, attracted by the delightful climate and the unnsnal beauty of the place are moving there and fitting op comfortable homes. Under the ef ficient council which now has oou trol of municipal affairs, the streets are beautifully kept, sud the whole city has a most attractive appear- aooe. Business is extremely brisk and instead of the << woe-begoite n expressions which formerly charac terized the merchautaof the place, they are now as “wide-awake” and energetic as possible, the evidences of their business prosperity being apparent on every hard. Many of their number, alive to all of the most progressive ideas of the day, have united themselves into Board ot Trade and to this associa tion is due iu uo small degree the improved condition of Nflairs. Ever vigilant to act for the best interests of their city, they take advantage of every opportunity which is pre sented of keeping it constantly be fore the world. There are many persons who assert positively that this wonderful transformation is due almost entirely to the magnifi cent system of Graded Schools now in operation in Columbia, and the proof which they ad vanes to sub stantiate their assertion is cer tainly strong. However that may be, the change for the better is most decided, and Columbia is to day in a more prot-perons condition than it has been during the whole hun- dred years of its existence, not even excepting the golden period of “be fore the war.” For fear less heedless mortals should become too happy, however, in this apparent paradise, by a wise provision of nature they have a “pride chastener” in the shape of the drinking water which they are oom palled lo use. This concoction is about a shade darker tbsu strong odd tea, its color being due to an unhealthy species of mud which is a leading iugredient. 8o loathsome is ths stuff that H is almost useless- even for bathing purposes, and un !••• the city authorities take prompt •taps to remedy this ssrionN evil, they will fiud that their “Magic Oily” will soon return to Hs former listless repose aad its ?eergetio merchants will relapse into their quondam stats of “inn teious des have more or less business to trans- net there.

Citt.” “WHAT WILiTtHEyIk) WITH IT.” As is well known Thu Darling ton News has been diMptmed to ia vor the Convention aystetn of nom inating County officers, not be en use we believe the plan to be by any means perfect, bat because, to our mind, its defectsarenot as great as those attending Piimaries. There is no doubt about it that both plans contain very many vood as we I as very many bad characteiislics, the truth of the matter being that if either of them is adhered to Uo continuously, its special defects and objectionable features constant ly increase. To such an extent is ibis the case that we are almost driven to the opinion that the beat result would lie accomplished by not confining ourselves habitually to either of the methods, but by judicious interchange of the two fiomyear to year, lo de ive the benefit of all that is good in both systems. But a comparison ot the two method* with a view to ascer tainiug which is the best is not what we propose to disenss at this lime; since the Primary plan has been determined upon, sud wii probably be in operation in Dar ling ton County for several years to come, it is rather our business to Bvery citizen of South ie interested iu the pros- end we all, at live*, consider some of its advantages for it certainly has advaotages. If your friend comes to you fur advice but afterwards pursues a course different from the one suggested by you, it is not the part of true friend ship to point out the evils of (he plan which he has chosen, but rath er to enoonrage him to the best of yonr ability to look r pon the bright side of the sit nation by dwelling with him upon such of its features as may be favorable. To begin with then ibe Convention system, used continuously, undoubtedly has the tendency to place too much power in the hands of individuals a lesnlt greatly to be depleted, as it is ub’aiued at the imminent peri of our republican institutions. By lins Primary plan this evil is avoid ed, lor as long as the suffrages re main directly in the bauds of Un people, ibe result cannot be con trollod by any man or net of men. There is uo stronger indication of the intelligence and conservatism of s people than the out cornu oi a Primary election Since D.irling ton County h-ts for years past been conapioous for those two qualities, there is uo serious danger that from a lack of concert in ac'ion, a neces sary evil of the Primary system, interior men will be chosen fur the important public offices, as has been the result in some of the Coun ties iu the State, where the order of intelligence is not so great, and where conservatism in actually un known. Our people having adopt ed the Primary plan, the question therefore remains, “What will they do with itt” For the reasons given and for many others which will be dwelt upon here if er, there is no occasion to appieb< n I any unex pected and unsaiistactory result in this County. On ihe contrary, we have every reason to expect, from the character of the citizens in whose hands the power lies, th"t all will go wel 1 , and that the offices will be filled by the very best men available. We propose pursuing the discussion of this subject in Its various phases in successive issues ot The News. emplified in times of peace. The heir apparent of one of the most powerful moiiarcbi-s of modern times, bis manners and habits were truly democratic iu their simplicity, and he no endeared himself to his subjects that be may we I bee tiled “the idol ot the German people.” A devoted busba'id end father, ki nl amt afiectioua'e in his dis position, laboring evt u while the death agony was upon him for the interests ol his peopl-, the mme of their beloved “Uuser Flits” will long be a household word iu the Fatheilaiid. Peace to his aslits. Frederick** son, who ascends the throne under the titl° of VVMliam 11, is a young man just twenty- nine years of age, and is a grand son of Victoria, Queen of England. From a!l accounts he inherits tew of the noble quali'-ies of bisdistiu- gnisbed father and grand-father, and gives promise from his first mani festoes of ruling things with a heavy band. In the present unsettled state of European politics the suc cession of thi* self-willed, arrogant y oung man to one of Ute gieate*t empires of the age, opens up a vast field of couiecture as to what the result will be, and his policy will be watched with interest by the whole world. A CLERICAL CRITICISM. We publish fn another column an editorial from the Southern CKrit- firm Advocate on the subject of “The Faith Healing Delusion,” in which Brother Kirkland animad verts rather severely upon Miss Gordon who recently made such a favorable impression in Darling ton, aud says that such people “belong either to the Pen! tentiary or to the Lunatic Anyium aud the sooner they are placed there the better fur society.” is not the language of the reverend gentle man a little undignified .md unchar ’.table iu view of the (act that lie is the editor of the official organ of that denomination which was in sirumeutal iu persuading this tal euted young lady to visit Darling ton f efficacy of “faith cure,” for the heal ing of their child ; that she went to their house at their argent solicita tioo ; and that the child ultimately died of a malady, which was con tracted subsequently io the date of her vUit. Tb- child died it is trne, bnt it cannot be said that her death i* attiributable in any manner, shape or form to Mi«s Gordon. In conclusion we may say. that we have not heird anv censure or unkind criticUm of Mi«s Gordon atwiut tlii-< matter line. Our peoide became much attached to her dur ing her recent visit.

Though King bet » hun dred days, bis career as Crown Prince of Germany during the reign of bis distingninbed father William 1., set the seal of greatness upon him, and the final victory ot the insidnous disease which has been harassing him for many months removes from the world oue of the most distinguished monareh* of the age Born end reared a sold er, bis successful cam paigns in the Franco Prusniau War wero conducted in a manner which marked the strong ability of the man. Though gnat io war, hew- erer, his truest manhood was ex Not a Victim of Faith Cure. Our attention has been call, d to an artic'e iu the Co umbia Register, of June Is', purpoiting to hav» been written troin Tiiumonsville, 8. C.. which states that. Miss Mattie Guidon, is responsible for the death of a little child by ihe name ol An uetta M a ness, whose parent-* sin pursuaded, as a disciple of f >ith cure, to dismiss their physician, and take no more of his medicine Truth aud simple jus!ice to Miss Gordon and the public demand a ! exposition of the tacts ol 'h s tug -. Mr Manors aud his family resd^- at Darlington, 8. C., and are wel known by us aud many of our cit izeus. During the latter part ot May, then biid, Amelia, w. s «ul faring from a severe aitack of meas les and dy>eutery combined They procured me services ofanabe and efficient physician, who did L in his p.»wer for the relief of big patient; but iu gpito of all ihtt could lie done, the child cot n<> better, aud on the 12th day ot May, so far from appearing in a fair way to recover, her case seemed to be hopeless. On that d y Mr. Maness, ihtO’igli a friend, whom he sent for that pur pose, sought out Miss Gordon, and requested her to come to his house to see the child, not as a dl-ciple of faith cure, bn as a Christian wo Christian sympathy pud spiritual advice. Miss Gordon however, having other engige- ments at first declined to go, bur, being urged aud imporlumd, she finally y ielded to their insist,mce and promised that she wonhl come lo theii house « u the following day. So on Sunday inorniug she fulfi led this engagement. Dtinug her visit the subject of Divine Healing was brought up by Mr. Manes*, who expressed his des re to try its effi cacy, as it appeared ihat the child was hopelessly ill. and beyond the lelp of the medicines which had >een prescribed by the physician. Miss Gordon did not encourage this cour-e or persu de them to take it, but, on the contrary, c »u lioued them against it, and rather dissuaded them from its adoption. Ti e family, however, determined to try the experiment —but not from any persuasion by Miss Gordon, but entirely of their own free will. They desired to do so. T. Is was on Sunday, May 13th. On Monday the chil l’s condition seemed more favorable, but in the afternoon a relapse set iu and the sy mptoms ag^in I tecs me very serious Mr. Mauess then concluded to recall bis physician, and this he immediately did. Dr. J. »‘J. Willcox was also c-dled in at the same time as a con suiting pbysi inn, and these two ticated the case conjointly until tit the expiration of about leu days, it terminated fatally When they called in the child w*s very about the fourth d.iy it got a great deal better ; the m«w* les and the dyaeutery were healed, and all parties again became very hopefel of her recovery. A day or peritonitas The Faith Healing Delusion. (Frum the Southern Cbrisluo Advocate.) The “Faith Cure” fanaticism is getting quite near us. Auette Mauess, * giil twelve yeirs old, died recently in Dai ling: on County, 8.

The patient soon bejan to fail a- d died. 8uch, in substance, ia the account given by several papers. We have waited thus long hoping to see some contradiction or explanation ol the above, but none ha* appear ed so far as we know. Is it not time that this faith he.iliug tana ticism should receive the rebuke it deserves! People who go about pieiclnng this doctrine and impos ing upon the credulity of the «eak aud ignoran', even to the sacrifice of I fe itself should be d.-alt with by the strong arm of the law. They bel >ug cii her to the Penitentiary or to the Lunatic Asylum, aud the sooner they arc placed tb re the better for society.
