“We have just closed a week’s

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

we had 130 members, our net gain
since then has been about 75 per
cent, sod onr contributions have
increased about 50 per cent. Tbe

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.

especially food appropriate for those

the preceding law and giving the
body a chance to dlgeat Its pabulum,
and properly os '.tmllnte It. the problem
largely solves itself. The student can
eat aud digest a very general and gener
ous variety of foods. A poor digester will
soon find be can eat nothing without suf
fering. Dyspepsia Is uot the result of
rich food, but of undigested food. Qivs
your stomach the best material mod tins

soups and cBetotlo to*to. Tiie only rule
for diet la to partake of concentrated food,
and such an amount of It as you propose
to take time to digest. Beef, mutton and
