Darlington Agricultural Society-
The annu 1 meetings of this in
telligent body of representative
farmers is alw. ye looked forward
to in the County with the most
pleasant feelings of anticipation.
On the 14th inst. a large crowd
has gathered at the Fair Grounds
to witness its proceedings. Col.
W. H. Evans presided and Mr.
Bright Wiiliamsou acted as secre
tary. After the reports of the last
meeting had been read and con
firmed, the chairman introduced
Dt. Niles, of tbe South Carolina
College, who delivered an unusual
ly able address on the subject of
* Glanders.” His remarks were
listened to with tbe strictest at
tention by all present, and wbeu he
bad concluded he answered
in a most satisfactory man
ner a number ot interesting ques
tions which were propoouded
touching tbe subject be had bauded
so thoroughly.
Dr B. M. Bolton, of the same
institution, then read au essay, on
the subject of “Bacteria,” oue of
the most important scientific topics
of the day, which was most skill
fully preseoted to h.s deeply in
terestod audience. After the Doc
tor bad exhibited some specimen*
of “Bacteria,” he, like his prede
cessor, answered a number of per
tinent questions which were put to
lim, thereby throwing consul r-
able light on tbe subject under dis
cussion.
Tbe following wa% adopted, on
motion of capL E. E. Evans:
“ it evolved, That the thanks of tue
Society be returned Doctors Bolton
and Niles for their very iustruc ive
and able essays, and that copies be
requested for publication in the
Darlington papers.”
The comparative value of cotton
seed and cotton 8<-ed meal as fer
tilizers was next discussed by
Messrs. Bright Williamson, E. W.
Gannon, E E. Evans, J. E Petti
grew, E. R. Mclvet and It. H.
Rogers. It having been announced
that Dr. J. M. McBryde, President
of the South Carolina College, and
Col A. P. Bntler, Commissioner of
Agriculture were present, these
distinguished gentlemen wet,e call
ed upon and expressed their Views
on this ioterestiug question.
The subject of “Ensilage* was
next discussed, tbe bull being open
ed by Mr. 8. A. Gregg, who read a
thoughtful essay, which was much
appreciated by those present.
Af.er a few remarks by Mr. E. T.
Coker, Dr. McBryde was again
called upon tor bis views. The re
marks of the learned Doctor on this
truly wonderful topic was the fea
ture of the day. In a manner so
lucid that a child might under
stand it, he presented the great
benefits to be derived from ensilage
and gave tbe farmers present food
for thought tor many a day. The
good which ia to be acoomplisbed
by talks like these ia almost in
calculable, and this meeting of tbe
Society waa one of tbe moat im
portant events which has taken
place in agricultural matters in
this County in many a day. It is
to be hoped that at all meetings ot
the kind efforts will be made to
encourage essays and lectures of a
like ebaraoUr from the leading
lighte of the State, and that every
snbeeqaeot meeting ot this ancient
and honorable association will be
as enjoyable and as profitable as
this one.
Tbe following officers were elect
ed by the Society for tbe ensuing
year: President, W. H. Evans;
Vice-Presidents, S. Baoot, J. J.
Melver, and P. 0. Coggeshall;
Secretary and Treasurer, W. E.
James.
Tbe boeineae features of the meet
ing having thus been disposed of,
the members and their friends
grouped themselves ia little knots
about tbe spacions hall, and re
freshed themselves from the large
hampers which are always a feature
of this anniversary celebration.
As the day was oloaiug and the
crowd dispersed tor tbeir various
homes, the general sentiment was
that It waa a great pity that these
meetings ooold not be held once a
month Instead of once a year.
Winding Up the County Canvass,
(Erpartr-I for the New*.)
Tbe County t.anvsa* dragged ita
slow leng:h along, ami on an t-x
wodiugly ho' day (1 kumltty, th**
| *“^h). (hei- nrii-iute* tm tied up su i
j mg but languid ntGarieiaviil , Ab
bis time cam*-, each candidate as he
arohe to “*pt-echif\” mopped his
lace with oue hand while with the
other he Hawed t e air, keeping
time to he rhythmic flow of his
thought*. The ta ks were ihe same
as heretofore reported iu The News
with little variations, and as the
election will he over ere this ap
peais in t.tpe, the detaila will not
iuteregt to the general reader.
The meefiiig at Florence (which,
by tbe way waa not on the pro
gramme but was iusi rtt d as an “ex
tra”) was the flattest and tamest of
any during the campaign. The
whole audience soetu<d under a
spell of lassitude and all the speak
ersevidently struggled under tbe
depressing influence. Barringer’s
Hall, where the meeting was held,
contributed to tins stale of affairs.
It called to mind memories of. he
Biblical furnace that was heated
seven times fir the special benefit
of certain recalcitrant subjects. This
meeting was in refreshing contrast
to the others tor brevity of the
speeches. To say t je audience was
thin would scarcely do justice to
the subject This was the last of
the series of meetings except the
one held at Darlington the eucce; d
ing Monday.
The meeting at Timmousville was
held iu a grove of small oak trees
that surround the Baptist Ghnrufa
at that place. Tbe attendance was
very good and from their close at
tention the audience seemed veiy
much interested m the topics dis
cussed. Oue or two dramatic scenes
occurred during different stages of
the meeting, but the special fea
tures of these need not be repro
duced. Several in tbe crowd bad
absoibed a little too mneb of Tim
mousville’s “corn juice” and gave,
by their hysterical conduct, some
vana ion to the days political dis
cussiou. It is the first of the series
of meetings that we have yet at
tended in which tbe audience seem
ed loath to leave after the chair
man announced that there would
he no further discussiou. a hey
stood around for a while and then
dispersed by pieoemeal.

We congratulate ourselves, and thank the trade, for coming
to Darlington. We are doing well and that without
much effort, but the Racket Store is always
in the lead because right will beat might,
in spite of all the fiery darts of the
adversary. Such has been clear
ly shewn since we have
been here; and bear
in mind that the
IhtCMST ST0»E
Is here to stay
until we are minded to
move it, and is open to all
alike on fair terms. It seems as if
the RACKET and its manager has been
a great mystery to the curious ; we are sim
ply a man like other men ; and came from Wil
mington, N. C. As to character, I mind my own
business, live strictly a moral life, do all the good I can,
and leave the rest with Fate. We can give references as to
the above, from the Governor down to the minor profes-
. sions in our State. As to the goods we handle
they are as new and fresh and stylish as any
sold on the market. We have four Head Quar
ters and over two millions to back us ; we are as
numerous in the United States and still growing,
because right will beat might, and our mottoes
are three, and are wrought out of sound solid bu
siness princ'ples : Sell as we buy ; cash on deliv
ery ; one price to all alike. On an average we
save to the consumer 33 per cent, on the dollar
over old prices. •

The Result ot the Primary
At will be seen trom the table
which we pnbliab, the following
officers were nomiuated at the
Primary Tuesday: W. P. Gole,
Sherifi; J. N Garner, Clerk; W.
H. Evans, School Oommissiooer;
T. H. Spain, Judge of Probate;
R. G. Parnell, Gorooer: H. Lide
Law, J. E. Ward and W. Hog-
r , County Commissioners: E.
Cannon, J. E. Nettles, J. C.
Clements and J. O. Byrd, members
of the Legislature. The only of-
fioers not nomiuated were the
Auditor and tbe Troasnr r; a
second Primary to settle these two
will be held a week from to day,
Thursday, Ang. 30. Messrs. R. B
Hepbarn and W. H. Lawrence will
be the candidates for Anditor.
Mr. H. B. C. Fooutain will have
the race for Treasurer alone, the
only other candidate who oonld
have opposed him, Mr. D. H. Trai
ler, having withdrawn in his favor,
as will be seen from tbe card pub
lished elsewhere.
The Managers ot Election are
requested to call at the office of the
Clerk of the Court some time dar
ing the eoerse of the next seven
days and get the ballot boxes for
their respective precincts for the
second Primary.
Thb Darlington Njcws, de
tenalned to give its readers tbe
very first reliable news concerning
the result of the election, had a
correspondent at every precinct in
the County. Letters from them
containing the retorua began
to be received early yesterday
morning, and as each retnrn came
in the result was posted en a large
bnlletin board in front ot Thr Dar
lington News office. The total
resalt was made oat and posted by
mid day, six boars before tbe Demo
cratic Execotive Committee bad
fliiUhed tue offld il conut in tbe
Coart Boose. As may be imagined
tbe vicinity of this office waa ac
cordingly tbe oentre of interest in
the town yesterday. Large crowds
flocked aronnd the bulletin board
all day, eagerly looking tor tbe
latest news. The table published
elsewhere was made np trom oar
private rota rat, but a comparison
of it with the official returns hand
ed ns late last nignt, show* that
tbe two differ io a very few unim
portant particulars not worthy of
mention.
