The “sea-breese” on Florence Street at the corcer near the Enter prise Hotel is fast becoming a cele brated phenomenon. It is said that daring the recent hot spell two drammers drove ap all the way from Florence to spend Sunday in Darlington in order that they might enjoy this wonderful “breeze.” The Town Council is doing s good working in cutting down tbe enormous dead limbs which over hang tbe streets at certain places, much to tbe danger of passers-by.

Hon. Geo. W. Dargan has been renominated for Congress from this District, and is to be voted for as tbe regular Democratic candidate.

The Mt- Elou Meeting. Rev. W. O. Petty writing to the Baptist Courier from Mt. Eton says: “We have just closed a week’s meeting in which Bio. B. G. Gov ington did most faithfnl and excel lent preaching. A deep religions feeling pervaded tbe congregation from tbe first, and a large number asked for tbe prayers of tbe church. Nineteen have professed conver sion and one was restoied. Of these, fonrceeu have been baptized and some others will follow. A very gratifying feature of onr work here is that so many of onr Sunday- school scholars are brought into tbe ebarob every year. Four years ago, we had 130 members, our net gain since then has been about 75 per cent, sod onr contributions have increased about 50 per cent.

W two or thm weeks ' : -41 :- ' V: T; : The County Normal Institnte. As stated in onr last i*sue, tbe Ooonty Normal Institute now be ing held in St. John’s Academy is attracting considerable attention from onr citizens, and is by far tbe most snccessful aflair of tbe kind ever before held in onr midst. Prof. Britton evidently understands bis business thoroughly, and is giving tbe teachers some practical instruc tiou which will stand them in good stead all the rest ot their lives. Mrs. Britton, who assists in tbe work, is a most talented lady, and baa won the hearts ot both pa; Us and spectators. Her model class of small children has been ad mirably trained, considering the very brief period fot w aicb she has bad it in charge, and attracts tbe ondivided attention of all wbo visit the Institnte. Taken all in all, onr summer school for teachers has been a most enjoyable affair, and we sincerely wish that its benefits oonld have been extended to every teacher in tbe County. Addresses were delivered to tbe school last week by Messrs. B. W. Edwards sod R. W. Boyd. Tbe Institute for colored teachers, which has been in progress at their school bouse during i ho same period, under the charge of Prof. ▲. G. Townsend, of Clsflin University, a conscientious and pains taking iostructor, has likewise proved a success. Darlington’s traded School. Pursnant to the eall made in the Tu Dablington News last week, and as tbs result of baud-bills with which the town was flooded, a meet ing was held in the Gout House oa Monday sigh Mon of a Graded School for Uogton. A good|y umber ofi ifMotativeeltiseM anoe, while several ladies graced the occasion with their presence Ool. W. H. Evans was called to the chair, and Mr. L. E. Williamson was elected Secretary. Ttie cbaii - man first called upon Profo-s nt E. E. Bi itton, who was preM-ut, L; m. lighten tbe andienoe in regard to the Graded School system. This tbe Prof, did in an admirable manner, setting forth clearly tbe advantages of the system, aud thoroughly re moving tbe last vestage of doubt, if any remained in tbs minds of those present, as the imperative necessity of obtaining these schools for Darlington. R^W. Boyd, Esq., than whom no citizen of South Carolina is better informed on,the important subject ot edocation, then delivered a forci ble addresa. He said that the sum of 82,000 would be sufficient to pat tin- two buildings which we now have, (St. John’s Academy and the school bouse for colored children), in pro|M*r condition for the proposed projt-cr. In bis opinion a tax levy sufficient to raise $4,000 per annum would support tbe schools in good style to pay the teachers well for their services. J. J. Ward, Esq., then made a few pointed remarks, strongly urg ing action ou tbe part of oar citi zens in regard to this matter. Mr. Ward stated that a three mill tax levied on tbe new school district which wonld be formed. In addition to tbe two mill tax already paid, would be ample for meeting tbe an- noal expenses ot the sehools. Mr. Ward was followed by toe Rev. G B. Moore wbo earnestly endorsed tbe movement. On motion of Mr. Boyd, tbe fol lowing resolution was then adopted: Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by tbe chair, whose duty it shall be to obtain at tbe next session of tbs Legislature a special Act permitting tbe peo ple of School District No. 1, to tax themselves in addition to tbe gen- eneral school ta., and raise money otherwise for the pnrpose of sap- porting good public schools in the School District. Under the terms of this resolution the chairman ap pointed as such committee Messrs. R. W. Boyd, J J. Ward, John Sisk- ron, 0. S. McCullough aud C. B. Edwards. A Big Enterprise- The Darlington Milling, Ginning, Fertilizer and Warehouse Company “the largest enterprise of the kind in the State,” as the News and Courier designates it, having been daly organized with C. S. McCullough as President and Bright Williamson as Secretary, are proceeding rapidly with the ar raugement* for the erection of tbeir buildings aud propose to b« ready for business early in the falL- As already stated in these col umn a, this business will consist in ginning oottou, grinding corn, stor ing prodnoe of all kinds, and mix ing ammooiated fertilizers. The buildings ef the company will be erected just below Mr. W. E. Dar- gaii’s warehouse, withfh 65 feet of tbe depot. They will be three in number, a mill and warehouse of brick and ginnery of wood. The mill boose, a portion of which ts to be devoted to the engine and boiler room, will be 30x40 aud the ware house be 80x120. Tbe eontnet for the machinery, a l of which is to be of the most improved patterns, has been awarded to Messrs. D. A. Tompkins A Co., of Charlotte, N. C, aud as soon as that firm is ready with tbe plans and specifications, which they are now preparing, gronud will be broken. When Sep tember 15th arrives, and passengers on the O & D. trains see this mam moth enterprise in operation on the left hand side of the track, and onr beautiful factory boilding on tbe right, they will conceive the idea, (and verv justly, too), that Darling ton is the nrqst wide-awake town of its size in the State.

The annual Inter-State Farmers’ Encampment commenced at Spar tanburg on Monday of last week. Everything had been prepared to make it a complete success-even a greater socoess than the Encamp ment of last year. Most conspicu ous among tbs improvements was the new machinery depot, a spa cious ball, equipped with engine and shafting for tests sod exhibi tions of machinery. Tbe Richmond sod Danville Railroad has erected a depot on the grounds—here were all the coovenienoea iuetdent to railroad stations, such as telegraph and ticket offices and baggage rooms, etc. To facilitate transpor tation, the Piedmont Air Line Rail road Company ran a train every thirty minutes fr m the city to tbe Encampment gronnds. There were other improvements too nnaerons to mention and 8. T. McCrary, President of tbe local board of di- rectors, has cause to congratulate himself on the successful manner in which ha managed everything. Ths small wooden cottages of the Monday,*the \rA day of the oampment, was spent mainly moving in and arranging the exhi bits sod machinery.

Senator Hampton was un able to be preseat on acoonut of sickness. That sight a banquet was bel«l at the Hotel Windsor in honor of Senator Vorbeea. In re spouse to toasts speeches were made by Senator Vorbees and Bai ler, Governor Riebardsou, Hon. Norman J. Coleman, Hon. Patrick Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle, aud Col. D. P.

Samuel Dib ble on “Diversified industries as promotive of agricultural proa|ieri ty,” waa read by Col. Henry D. Capers, of Georgia, as Congress man Dibble was nnavoidably de tained in Washington. Senator Butler then delivered an address ou tbe tariff, touching lightly, in conclusion, on the deplorable con dition of politics, at present, in this State. At tbe evening seasion Comptroller General J. S. Veruer read an essay on ‘‘The ideal farm.” Mr. A M Howell then read a pa per on “Viticulture.” At tbe py rotechnic display that night, there was s repetition of the same dis graceful scenes which took place at Greenville, on a similar occasion, daring the Military Encampment A mob, about three hundred strong, broke down tbe fence and entered the enclosure without paying tbe entrance fee. Thursday was consumed by tbe sessions ot the Farmers’ Institute, President Johnson Hagood presid ing. At the morning session, after Governor Hagood read a paper on the advantage to the yonng farmer of an agricultural education, President J. M. McBryde, of the Sontb Carolina University, was in trod need aud read an essay ou “Agricultural Experimentation.” The whole of the afternoon session was occupied by Prof. B. M. Bolton, of the S nth Carotins University, who read an essay ou “The part played by bacteria in agriculture.” Both President McBryde and Prof. Bolton answered many questions pat to them by the andienoe and the farmers were thus able to ob tala valuable information ou im portaot questions. On Friday morning tbe Farmers’ Institnte bold its closing session. The essayist for this morning was Dr. Daniel Lee, of Nashville, Teun. He tock as his subject “The tines along which lie the development ot Son thorn agriculture” Gov. Ha good thao adjourned the meeting of the Farmers Institnte. Mr. D. K.

A very large ball wa* given on Friday night, complimentary to tbe viaitora. The agricnltaral, poultry and art exhibitions were fine, and on the whole the Encampment wa* a great snocess.
