The question ot having a sworn cotton weigher is now agitating the merchants of the town. Wh'ile the majority of them seem to favor it, there is decided opposition to the innovation. Rev. Hartwell Edwiirds will preach at the Baptist Cbnrch on two Sundays of next month. On all other Smwiays during that mouth the church will be closed owing to the absence of Mr. Moore. Mr. W. H. Talley, cotton bay r, of the well known firms of Fowl, Talley A Co., and falley A Woods, arrived in town yesterday ready for the season’s work. His family will follow him in ab.int a month.

The celebrated “Q lie Dollar Colton Books,” the most useful articles for merchants and farmers who have a large numt>er of bales to keep a record of, are to be had at the Book Store at Charleston prices. Mr. Philip Kalmns, a former member of the firm of Kalinas and Rosenberg, who has been residing in New York for the past eighteen months, is on a visit to bis old friends in Darlington. Mr. Kalmus is looking remarkably well, and seems to enjoy life as much as ever. Whbn the business men of Dar lington want letter beads and bill heads printed they should call at The Darlington News office and examine ap'-cituens of the work recently done here. If it can be beat anywhere in the State, either as to quality or prices, we will say no more about the matter. “Herod and Mariamue,” pro nounced by the New York Herald and other influential jonruals to be one of the greatest tragedies of the age, is now on sale at the Book Store.

A reso- ludon was adopted looking to th** removal of the Confederate monu- mcnr from the isolated S|H»t which it uow adorns to some prominent point on the Public Square. The Ethies ot the Ball Field. The game of base ball between Darlington and Camden on Thurs day afternoon last ended in an un pleasant scene. The captain of the Camden team, who diflered with the umpire concerning one of the decisions which the latter tendered, led his men from the field, and like a five year old child said “1 won’t play,” being evidently utterly re- gaidless ot the fact that there were a large nnmber of ladies and gen tlemen in the grand stand who paid twenty live cents to witness the game. Snch is base ball. A Successful Educational Institution. Attention is called to the adver tisement of Miss Martin, the prin cipal of the Colombia High School for young Ladies. This institution is well and most favorably known in the Pee Dee Section many of its fair daughters having received their education there. No better instruc tor of young ladies than Miss Mar tin is to be found in the South, and parents who desire to send their yonng girls off io school would do well to oommnnicate with her. Miss Martin always makes arrange ments to) board five or six yonng ladies in her private family. A New Institution for Darlington. Darlington now rejoices in the convenienoe of a first-class hard ware honse. The new buck build ing adjoining the Enterprise Gros eery has been fitted np ard is uow occupied by Messrs. Welling A Bon- noitt, dealers in hardware. Both ot these gentlemen were until re- cently with the popular firm of S R. Marshall A co, of Charleston, and Mi Welling jpwell known here, having travelled for yeata fur the above named boose. Mr. Bouuoitt on leaving Charleston was present ed by hie fellow-employes with a handsome gold watch and chain as a token of the respect end esteem in whieh he is held by then. He has already removed his family to their new home in Darlington. We piediet ior these enterprising mer chants a successful business career in a town which ofters them such exceptional advantages.

Mr. Rosenlierg has leased the tine stand on the opposite corner from him, which is cow being vacated by Messr-. Ganson A Btocm and will conduct a tremendous mer chandise business both in that establishment as well as in the one w'bicb he uow occupies. What do the readers of The News think of that for a piece of enterprise ! Mr. Rosenberg is determined to carry off as much as possible of the basis ness of the town during the coming season.

Intelligence was received here about three o’clock on Satuiday afternoon th t a colored man name<! Walter Howe bad been killed in the streets of 1’Ion nee shout an hour before by Mr. Edw ard Blount. The editor of The News was prompt ly at the scene of the tragedy with a view to gathering all the information possible as to its origin. It seems that several days before the aflray Mr. W. O. Blount, a constable for Trial Justice McNeil, went to Howe’s house to arrest a prisoner. This greatly enraged Howe, who had the -epotation in Florence of being a very bad negr^, and be swore vengeance against Blount. On Saturday, at about two o’clock in tbe afternoon, the negro Howe and Mr. Edward Blount, a brother ot tbe constable, met on tbe streets of Florence, and Mr. Blount taking np the quarrel in behalf of his brother, the two men became engaged in a b oody affray Both parties were truled ; Blount fired three times, one ot the shots taking effect in Howe’s left breast and killing him outright. The negro fired only once inflicting a severe wound m the lower part of Blount’s stomach. At the coron i’s inquest the fact was develo|>ed that, soon after the quarrel began, the negro fired, wonudiug Blount in the stomach; that he then ran about two hundred yards, Blount shooting at him as he went, and that alter he hud gone about two hundred yards be tell dead. A negro named Purvis who was walking with Howe when the tragedy occurred en deavored to make it appear at the inquest that Blount fired his thr*-e shots before Howe drew bis pistol; and that after Blount’s first shot, Ho we having been wounded in the left bieast, ran the distance above mentioned, only tnrniag to fire at his aggressor a moment before he tell dead. According to tbe testi mony of Dr. Covington, the physi cian who made tbe examination, this could not have been tbe order of events, for in hia opinion Howe died a moment after receiving the wound in bis breast, and it was impossible for him to have ran two hundred yards afterwards as was alleged by Parvis. The colored people in Florence were very mach excited about the affair on Saturday night, bat a wholesome tear ot Sheriff Cole, who spent the flight at the scene of tae tragedy, prevent ed them from expressing themselves in too decided terms.

At her residence in Darlington, on ibe morning of the 27th Inst., Mrs. a B. Boyd, relict of the Bev. B. J. Boyd, in the 82nd year of her age* The State’s Agricultural Experiments There is no spot in the County, or for that mutter m tbe whole St< to ol Sou h Carolina, whodi prvaeiitg futures ot more go <ii''e int'ori hi this seu-oii of the y< or inau tli > Kxp* rimen al Farm A vi-it v.a.* paid to this beautiful locality on Monday afternoon last by a Report er for The Darlington News in oom|tauy with Mr. McCall, the efii cieut Superintendent, and two of the leading agriculturaii-ts of tin- section. The first object which at tracts tbe eye is the model b,u u and the improved machinery with which it is fitted np. Adjoining this build ing, under a miiuII shed, is a set of “Victor” f-cales, the capacity ot which is two and a halt tons ; these scales are arranged in such a man ner that each wagon with its con tents cm be driven npon it conven iently. Immediately in front of the barn is stationed a eight-horse pow er Farquhar engine, a model of its kind, which is conn.'cted by belting with the machinery within the building. One of the most unique and interesting articles is an ensi lage cotter, by means ot which two and a half tons of o ats, shucks or ensilage can he cut in an hour. A beautiful Farquhar’s thrasher, one ot the neatest iustiuments of the kind in the country, next attracts attention. In close proximity to it is a beautiful pea huller, something entirely novel in this County, which was sent to the Station by the pa tautee, C. E. Luckej, of Paris, Ten nessee for the purpose of hiving it tested. The dimensions of the barn, as already mentioned, are 72x3G, and it consists ot a cellar and two floors; in the cellar is a large and com mo dtous stable, and at its upper end is the silo, the dimensions of which are 20x12. This silo is a solid brick structure capable ot holding 00,000 pounds and is now about two third- full, itscoutents being31,000 pounds of corn forage and 9,000 pounds of su^ar millet. Nine thousand pounds of weight have been placed upon the structnre to hold it down, and in order to prevent tbe walls from spreading when the capacity has all been utilized, three heavy sup ports of brick have been placed on tbe sides. The opening for the door is also bricked up, and will remain so until the ensilage is ready for use when a wooden door will be placed in position. The expeii meats in this im|»ortai.t depart ment are probably tho most itiL r eating of any winch ate bung con ducted at the Stations, and the re sults will be e gerly watched for by all interested in tbe subject of agri- ulture. Mr. McCall says that it he is succi ssiul he will be able to comply with the request of the So ciety Hill gentleman who made np plication some time ago for some silo seed. In tbe upper portu n of the cellar which we have just described, a well wi 1 be suuk in tbe. near fu ture, so that a convenient and abun dant supply of water will be ob tained. Immediately back of the build ings some fifty acres are planted in pea-, not as an experiment, but for tbe purpose of improving a large tract ot broom sedge land. It is a beautiful crop, however, and is well worth seeing. The oat crop has also done well, and Air. McCall hop>'8 to furnish the public with some ot the results in this depart ment ue„ t week. A long a d nai row strip of land near the corn/ about two acres in all, has been plant) d in the Soja bean, which crop also presents a flu * a pear- atice. But, as a matter of coarse, by f tr the most interesting experiments are those which are made in corn and cotton. One hundred and forty plats each of which is one- tweutieth of an acre in size, bare been devoted to tbe corn experi ments. Various kinds of fertilizers have been placed npon these the exact amount and kind in each in stance being entered npon a book wbicb Mi. McCa'l has prepared for that purpose. The following is a description of tbe preparation of each plat, with a view to making experiments in this most important crop : 1. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 8} acid phospate, 5 mutfate potash ; 2. 9 poumls nitrate soda, 8} acid phosphate, 5 muriate potash;3. 6 pounds nitrate soda, 8} acid phos phate, 5 muriate potash; 4. 3 pounds nitrate soda, 8} acid phospate. 5 muriate potash; 5. 28 ponn-is cotton seed meal, 1 acid phosphate, 4 mu riate potash; 6. 14 pounds cotton seed meal, 4 acid phosphate. 41 mu riate notash ; 7. unfertilized; 8 161 pounds dried blood, 8} acid phos phate, 5 muriate potash; 9. 81 pounds dried blood, 8i avid phos phate, 5 miniate potash; 10. 78 ponudscotton seed (whole); 11 78 pounds cotton s> ed (crushed); 12. 39 pounds cotton seed (crushed), 3 acid phosphate, 4 muriate potash; 13. 800 (rounds stable man ure; 14. 400 pounds stable manure; 15. 200 ponuds stable mannre, 61 nitrate soda, 3 acid pbospha’e, 31 maria e potash; 16. ntiferlilized; 17. 12 pounds nitrate soda; 18. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 41 Thomas’ slag, 5 muriate potash; 19. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 21 Thomas’ slag, 5 muriate potash: 20. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 3 3-4 floats, 5 muriate potash; 21. 12 ponuds ui trate soda, 11 floats, 5 muriate pot ash; 22. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 5} reduced nhosphate, 5 muriate pot ash; 23. 12 pounds nitrate soda, 2 3-4 reduced phosphate, 5 muriate potash ; 24. 12 ponuds nitrate soda 4 3-8 acid ash phosphate,ISTainit ;30 12 pounds nitrate soda, 8 3 4 ac'd phosph ite. 6 12 sulphate ixvash; 31. 12 |HUinda nitra'e sods, 8 34 acid plosphate, 3 I 4 sulplmto |mJ.ish;i 32 12 pound.- < it arte sod), 8 341 acid pbusph it*', 2 12 ponuds mu- I riate potus:.; 33. 12 pounds nitrate | soda, 5 muriate potash; 34. 5 poumls muiia'c pot-sh; .‘15 24 pounds uitiate soda 17 1 2 acid phosphate, lOfinniate |H»taah; 36. 12 poumls nitrite soda. 17 1 2 aoid pbosp.iatc, 10 mur a e |M)tasli; 37.

An inspection ot ill - crops grow ing iiik)u the.-e vaiious plats, and a cons deration of th'* quality and quantity of the fentlizers which have been placed on each, is ab>u; as interesting a process as can well be conceived of. aome of tbe plat- arc I adly burnt, par lieu arly those which w«ro h -avily fertilized, but taken all iu all >.hc experimental 'orn crop isaremark- ably tine one for the seasons Mr. McCad has about 16 acres plan ed in a general corn < rop, which is also in good condition.

The beautifully green stalks covering tbe small aiea upon wh!cii mis trial was made stand up in bold relief to the reddish-brown pi >1118 iu its vi cinity and speak louder than words i f the succe s of the exponmeiit. A bale of 1505 poumls of lint cotton was picked from this tract on Fri day last* The experimental cot ton is plant ed on 203 different plats, each of which t- one twentieth of an acre ; these plats extend in two rows par allel with the public road from the Superintendent’s house to the woods on the northern portion ot the farm. The plats nearest tin* toad, as a general rule, are used for experi ments in fertilizers, while on the row which is more remote varieties of seed are expenm n*ed with. Thirty five of the pints are devoted to the latter, the following tonr'een varieties of seed being used : Wil liamson, Mclver, Peterkiu, Aden Long Staple, Truitt| Southern Hope, Crawford, Miles, McCall, Bearing, Jeft' Welburn, Excelsior, Eureka, Mmters; together with two varieties of common seed which Mr McCall obtained trom a friend. All of the plats where the fertilizer ex perimeuts were made are planted iu the Mclver seed, ihe varieties of Experiments as to tertilizers are pretty much the same as those used with tbe corn ><g mentioned above. Plat No. 57 contains decidedly the best result so far as concerns th** fertilizer experiments; on this plat there were placed 33 pounds of nitrate of soda, 16 of acid phos phate and 5 of muriate of potash. It is a right difficult matter to des termine which plat is the best as regards the experiments in the va riety of seed*. The Allen Long Staple is simply beautiful, while tbe cross between the Mclver and the Jones varieties is particularly flue. The plats numbered 1, 2, 51, 52 101 and 102, the ftr-t three nearest the Suiierintendeut's honse in e on row are beautiful specimens of ex periments in fertilizers. Th> most striking feature of the work at the Station so far is tha wonderful results attending the use of nitrate ot soda.
