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

“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.

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

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

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

So on Sunday inorniug she fulfi led

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

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

Representative Spiuola, one of
the shrew des; Democratic members
ot Congress, predicth a majority il
New Yoi k try of more than «<>,0ou

Spiuola speaks fro u iu side k no .ti
ed gc of the political m n-iion iu
New York City, b.ivin^ resided
there all his life, ami h iviug been
one oi the leudeis in the party since
be became old enough to vote.
W h.iiu the Republicans will put up
to beslauglDerod is not \et appar
ent. John Sherman is far in the
lead, having purchased all the dele
gates that could b© h:id, and be is
prepared, with unlimited cash,
furnished doubtless by bis Wall
Sired friends, to go into the dele
gate icark>-t at Chicago and outbid
all competitors for a sufficient num
>er to ensur- his nomination. It
is hardly’ likely that the convention
will be toolisb enough to nominate
Sherm iu; with him at the hea l ol
the Repub ican ticket, the fight
would not I e spirited enough to
make it interesting. Cleveland
would beat him as badly as Grant
did Gieely m 1872. Besides, Slier
man, no other eaudi late has any
considerable following, nnd from
opinions expn ssrd by leading Re
public ms heie it is probable that
tiie nomination will be the result ol
combinations made after the con
vention meets. If that K houlii be
the case, it would lie an absurdity
to even attempt to make an intelli
gent guess as to who the nominee
sill be, but I have no hesitation in
say iug that it will not be John oto r T0ALf ■
Sherman.
Two thirds of the Republican
Senators have already left for Chica
go to take part in the national c n
\enti hi. Quite as large a perceu.
tage of me nbers of the House
would have gone except tor the re
fusal by Mr Mills to allow the tariff
bill to be laid over for a week.
Indian Commissioner Atkins has
