THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1888. 1IEXBY T. THOMPSON . EDITOR The Democratic Standard Bearers. FOR PRESIDENT, Grover Cleveland, OF NEW YORK, FOR VICE PRESIDENT, Alien G. Thurman OF OHIO. J The News of the Week. The Hudion Rif er is »o full of herrinfi ibil in some places stcamboais more with Bifieultjr. Major D. A. TowMead, of Coioa, bas boon announced as a candidate for Stale Superintendent of Education. New stories of cruelties to conricts in the South Carolina Fenitentiurjr are being told ia Columbia. Judge Ootbrao bas been unanimously nominated as the Congressman from tbs Third Congressional District of South Car olina. A email cyclone atruek Columbia on Fri day, completely demoliabiog (be "grand aland” at (he Pair Grounds, but doing no further damage. Mr*. Motlie E. Keese, of Anderson, bas been arrealed under the charge of eetting fire to the town a abort time ago The un fortunate women ia bcliefed io be insane. President Clereland eontinuee almost daily to veto bills granting pensions to un worthy parties, a process which is becom- ing very distasteful to tbe Republican*. Gen. Sheridan, remarkable to re'ate. has so far paasad from tbe eery point of death at wbiob be was lyiag a short lime since that be will be moved to tbe sea eoaat ibis week for a change of air. Tbe Chief of Police of Columbia raided a ••Keno” den in that Oily last Friday aigkl, and took into custody some ten or twelve sports who were indulging in the game “contrary to tbe form of the stat ute." Mr. J. Q. Adams, a young man about thirty yaara of ago. commit ted suicide in Columbia oa Sunday last by blowing out bis brains. Whisky and domestic in- felieity are supposed to base been tbs causes of tbe crime. Cel. A K. McClure, tbe wide awake and very obeervant editor of tbe Philadelphia TVm.i, say* : “South Carolina ia naturally the richest planting and agrioultural State of the whole Union, without any ezeap- tlou,” The contractor at Beaufort has fin ished the artesian well on the corner of Har rington aud King streete, and ie now en gaged bgring another on Bay atreet. An attempt will be made to eeeure water at Weirs Pond. Columbia ii on tbe anxious (eat, and frets ever tbe continued inefficiency of its fire department. Tbe Palmetto eompany’a steamer baa been in the shop for rspairs (or the last sight days, aud will remain there for some time yet. The deadlock ip tbe First Congressional Dislriet of Georgia was broken on Thurs day last by tha nomination of Mayor Let ter, neither Norwood, the present i icura- bent, or Cel. Gordon being strong enough to win. In accordance with the provisions of its •barter, a proposition is being signed by the real estate owners of Laurens to sub mit *0 vole the question of issuing $10,000 or $16,000 in bonds to put (be streets in good repair and to build a market, oily hall aad engine bouse. The Asw* and CoMritr ia rtsponsible for rhe following statement ; “A merchant received eome day* ego a box of eggs, and when the bottom layer wae expose-1 it was fenad that seven chickens bad been hatch ed and were doing tolerbly well except for the weather. They were immediately pro vided with a mother and four cf them are •till alive. Ia tbe last municipal aleotion at Colum bus, Ohio, tbe Democrats were ebargrd with fraud and Mr. Thurman was employ, •d to prosecute them. These suite are still pending, so during the coming campaign, tba country is likely to see the peculiar epec'acle of a candidate for the Vice-Pres idency prosecuting members of his own party for political frauds. Memphis, Tenn, baa at laat solved tbe question of u pure and abundant water •npply by linking Artesian wells, eight in a group, at different localities within the corporate limits. At a depth of less than 600 feet these wella strike water of tbe f mreat quality, which flows out at tbe top n apl-ntifu'. volume. Theuce, by means of powerful force pomps, it will be thrown to all parts of the eity. Among the visitor! in Chicago this week is Col. J. M. Norton, of Texas. He is about TOyearaof age and bia white hair tells m curia half-way down his back. His white beard teaches below hie waist. In 1846 Henry Ctev was a candidate for Pres- idem and Col. Norton registered a vow that ho would not eat his hair or shave his heard nntil Clay entered the White Hones. Jle has religiously kept bis vow and new press eta a moat pi etaresqne appearance. At about half-past 4 o’clock on Sun Jay afternoon a so ore thonder squall passed over Beaufort Connty. In n small village adjacent to Beaufort, known as Dickson- viUo. a small bons* was struck by tlght- ning and Shermnn filmoos end Ben Har vey wars instantly killed. Fear others were seriously shocked. Tbs bouse was- badly damaged. The clothes of Shorman Simons took firs and kis boiy was somewhat scorched. There were about ten poroons in tho house, all oolored. The Mason Cotton Pieker Company have been steadily at work fifed expect to pat O'l at tho opeuiog of tho picking leaven four differsnt stylos of harvest trs, each •ombiolag such modi float ions as it is fully boliovod will render the machines fit for •radical work. The maohane* will include both Ibrgo machines, to bo operated by heroes and smaller maehioes for small far mers, capable of gathering, it is thought, 2,000 pounds a day, The work at tbe •hops of the oeapaay, at Bumtes, ie well wader way, and the maehiars wilt be ready la time for tbe first open cotton. i sriobrnted Bond oases, in which s r association was formed in C bar las- of d•(ran•lte g Hfhia• . are aot forgotten by Wnoa the* i oases same up the Bonds, father and father and aoa, to pilots with the Os As already announced, the Republican National Convention assembled H Chicago on Wednesday of lost week. They re mained in session until Mon-lay night, and after eight ballots nominated Benjamin Harrivon, of Indiana, for President and | Lev: P. Morton, of New York, for Vice | Presideoi. The tactics of tbe BUine m-o ; was to advocate in turn each of the evodi- 1 dates in the field without goiof quite far enough to give them the necejviry number of votea. They succeeded in carrying their poliev % trifle too far, however, with tbe result above mentioned, Tbe e is great rejoicing io Demuci alia circ.es ov> r tbe reeult, for it is alleged that, with tbe exception cf Blaine, there was n o promi nent candidate before tbe Couveot.on whom it woul I be easier for tbe Democrats to defeat than Harrison. There are some charges against Harrison which will glvs the Republicans trouble before tbe cam. paigo is over, the chief of which is tbe position which he took when in the Unit d States Senate in favor of Chinese immi. gration, a fact which will weigh heavily against him in the rich and influential Pacific Slates. THE RESULTS OF A PRIMARY As we buve Haiti, while there are objections to the Primary method of nominating officers, it has also its advantage*, the chief ot which is that the resnli is not fo lowed by tbe regrets and heart-burnings which seem to be a necessary at tendanl upon the Convention sys tem The candidate who goes be fore a Convention and fails to se cure the nomination which he seeks is aggrieved at his defeat, and caHtg about him for some plausable theo ry to account for it; ever ready to attribute it to any other cause than that which springs from himself, aud which, in nine cases out of ten, is the true one. Thus it is that he begins to hear of trades ami com binations which have operated against him, aud bis mind becomes so set upon this idea, that after he returns home aud ponders over the various incidents efthe Conven tion, tbe most trivial occurrences be come to be regarded by him as hal ing some bearing upon the “swamp” that was going on among the nn merous candidates, not only those who were contending with him, but also those seeking the other offices iu the gift of the Convention. We have intimated that this feeling on the part of the disappointed candi date is generally the outgrowth of the mortification which follows his defeat, but we do not mean to as- sert that this is always the case. On the contrary, it too often hap pens that this “swapping of votes” actually occurs, and that certain men are put iu office not because of tbeir peculiar fitness for the post* tioos, but on account of the partic ular locality from which they came, or because their friends had been adroit in trading off tbe votes at their command on tbe principle of “If. you will see. toil that your township gives ten votes for our friend Smith for Treasurer, oar township will cast the same num ber for yonr man Jones who wants to tbe Auditor.” Such is inevitably the feeling which exists after a Convention, no matter whether the defeated candi dates have really been affected by combinations or whether they only imagine it. On the contrary, the candidate who on the Primary election tails to receive the endorse ment of his fellow-citizens, is like a certain little boy who was run over by the bovine offspring. It is tbe will of the great people themselves that lie letire to the shades ot private life, ami he has not another word to say. After a defeat before a Con vent ion he may talk about “coiubims,” and will find friends aud k\ mpatbizers ; to set up such a plea where the people have directly cant the ballots would be impossible, and he knows it. To cry out against their act would ouly subject him to ridicule; so the sole recourse left him is to hold his peace, aud he holds it. It he feels he has been the victim of “com bines,” that thought is closely guarded iu his own breast, and in stead of the bickering aud heart bnruiugs which follow a Convec tion, not a word of complaint is heard, those who are disappointed gracefully accepting the inevita ble. The Uemsen Bequest- Editor of The Darlington Newt: Please allow me, through the News, to express my gratification at the in&uiiest spirit which anima ted the writer in a communication in your issue of June 14tb, from E. W. Cannon, relative to the “Clem- acu Bequest.” It made me glad to tend another assurance that “the sentiment iu favor of the Clemsen Agricultural College is evidently gaining in strength every day.” And not ouly so, but if the Captain will allow a correction of some er rors into^which he aud others have inadvertently fallen I shuli be the more He *>t existing e»t. hlishea lustUtttioiia ot learu- ” “with grave* fears for their tbe zealous Agricultar- Citadel unjust.

Only this aud nothing more. It is admitted further that when the South Carolina Coll< ge, with more valor than discretion said : Say you 1 yon 40,000 Presbyterians, you 00,000 Methodists, yon 72,000 Baptists, and you legion of Lath- eraus, your denominational colleges are “expensive luxuries,” (see Alex ander’s “Advocacy of Free Tuition iu the South Carolina Codege) and, therefore, it were Itetter to close your doors at Due West, at Spar tanburg, at Greenville aud at New- berry, and send your boys here and let the State teach them the Arts. Sciences, Agricnlture aud if ueeil be, religion ! Isay when a thing of this kind was gravely said, zeal ous advocates of a separa'e Agri cultural College among the Pres byterians “put their foot down” more firmly, among the Methodists grew a trifle more “noisy,” among the Baptists of “fooling,” showed some sign aud among the Luther ans plead for another “Reforma tion.” But enemies to the “exist ing institutions,” never! “Lets have an Agricultural Col lege, tree and open to all white boys.” “No tuition charges.” That paragraph looks pretty on paper but it will not do.

Place “no tuition charges” as a rid.-r on the Bill, es tablishiug a separ te Agricultural College, and it will ride it to de dh.

(Reported tor the News) A beautiful exhibition was given by Miss McLeod’s school on the night of the 22ud lust. The first thing on the programme was the performance on the organ of the ac^ complisbid musician, Miss U. V. Witherspoon, she being accompan ied by Mr. Henry Best on the vio lin and Mr. H. li. Middleton « u the harmonica, the three instruments giving the most delightful music. The programme for the exercises were as follows: “Welcome.” by seven < f the smallest little girls;” “In the morning,” by six little girls; “Playing Doctor,” Little Coleu Privett as 1).”, Luther Skinner as patient and Little Lena Bruce as nurse, was very humorous. After music, “School” was rendered, a recitation iu Grammar ai>d Geog raphy, Miss Dante Folsom acting teacher; “Dolly’s Speech,” by little Daisy Pate; “choice of trades,” by a number of little boys; “Turning the tables,” by William Pate, Maxey McKenzie, Walter and Albert Pri- vitt, Maxey acting the negro very humorously ; “Moru ng,” by Little Alma Woodham; “The Seasons,” represented by tour pretty little girls; “The expected w-dtors,” by Misses Sue Woodham, Sophtouia Skinner, Belle Moziugo. May Mc Kenzie. Hattie Heaiou, Fannie Mo ziugo; “The li tle housekeepers,” by seven pretty liitle girls; “The spirit of liberty,” by MissOilie Mo- zingo who acted with spinning wheel; “Offerings to Peace,” by thirteen beautiful girls iu a most patronizing scene; “Vacation,” by Miss Annie Muzmgo, tbe e hole school standing upon the stage wiib her. All tbe pieces were beautiful ly rendered, aud tbe entertainment was interspersed throughout with tbe most delightful music The Hon. Geo. W. Browu, of Dar lington, here came forward upon the stage end delivered a very elo quent oration on i he subject ofEd- uca ion, which did great honor to himself, aud was highly apprecia ted by all the audience After Mr. Brown had lesumed his seat, that venerable oi l gentleman, Rev. M. Moziugo, arose ami made a lew ap propriate remarks, complimentary to the teacher and pupils, which closed the exercises Language cannot expieas tbe eulogy which the patrons would bestow to this accomplished lady who trained these *ch lars. She has tangbt here for eight months dui ing which lime she has never bad a disturbance in her school, notwitbsiaudiug the fact that some of the boys under her .. have the reputatiou ol be ing unmanageable, and baa never ns fora while bat we hope to se cure her services again before long. Death of an Estimable Lady. (Reported for tbe News) 1) edo'i the ICtii inst, at herb >me near Lamar, Mis. Florence P. Rog- ; ers, wife of Mr E. M. Rogers ami daughter of Capt. R. 8. and Mrs. i Elizatteth Thomas, of Union Conn- : ty. Mis. Rogers s ill red only fhive : day* xn-t bad the attenti .n ol Drs. J Josey, H men ami Wallace, but; the time bad coin-; dm grim mon- j Ster laid the hai d • t de.t h upon his victim, aud medical skid was of no avail. Mrs. Rogers’ death was startling news to the community, not only on account of its sudden nes , but because of the love aud esteem with which she was held by those with whom she cast her lot away from the home of her youth, aud because ot her admirable qua! ities, only known to those who best; knew ber. Hers was an open hand and gem rt us heart toward the poor aud needy, without regard to color, and it is remarkable to witness tbe sorrow and grief manifested among the colored peo Ie who lived around aud near “Miss Florence.” She leaves a truly devoted husband aud two little girls aged respectively, three years and eighteen mouths, aud a large circle of near aud dear relatives iu Union Connty and a host of warm and affectionate friends in this her adopted conaty to mourn her loss. When the doc tors said, there is “no hope,” her mother was at once telegraphed aud it is truly regretted that she did not strive before the spirit had flown to the God who gave i', and tbe body had been laid to rest iu the borial ground at Andrews’ Mill to await i^s part in tbe first resur rection. She was buried on tbe 17th, at six o’clock P. M., iu (he presence of about 350 persons. Ser- v ees wore performed by Elder J. S. DuBose. Mrs. Rogers wass member of the M. E. Church and died exercising an abiding faith in her Redeemer, and talking rationally to the last moment in regard to her future prosperity; expressing her wishes to ber bereaved huobaud iu regard to her tlear lit'le children whom she must now leave. An air of gloom and sadness per vades the community, and all are in the deepest sympathy with the sorrowing husband and dear little Eula aud Bessie. E L. G eontribate 15,000 to help keep ap the drooping spirits of his party. More “pairs” are in existence this week in both the Senate aud Honse than were etfer on record at one time before. The Chicago Gon- m otion, is the cause of it. General Hberidan’s condition has continued about the same, for fhe past week. There is no decided improvement, but there h 's been n > return of heart failure, which for a time occurred at intervals of every three days, and cous< queutly the d'MtmguistiHl patient and his family are hopeful. At last a statue of Ben. Franklin is to be erect'd in this city. Filial Notice.
