What is a fact! Well, it is a
fact that Strrzer is the man to buy
clocks and watches from. That is a
fart.
Mb. Ephriam E. Gregg, of Mar
ion County, die ' at the residence
of Mr. Harry T. Hardee, in this
C"nnfy on last Tuesday, in the

A Large stock of new books

Oapt. C. A. Mallow, of Cheraw,
Deputy Collector of Internal Rev

The dangerous limb lodging in
the fork of the tree in front of Mrs.
Baker’s residence, to which atton
Uou was called several weeks ago,
slid rct/dns its precarious position
to the imminent danger of the lives
ai.d limbs of passers by.
After a brief visit to relatives
in North Carolina, Mr. Jacob Mar
co a rrved in Darlington on Tiiea-
d y morning, all ready for the
hnainess of the fall and winter
months, and bringing with him the
first ray ol stiusliioe we have had
for feu days.
Ukv. J. S. DuBose wil ..old ser-
vices in the Court Hons- on Tues

7.30 P. M. His subji ct will be
“Oath and promise of God and the
Baiuts’ lulii-riiniice.” The public
generally, und the clergy especially,
we invited to attend.
The flue row ' f oaks on Orange
Street am sadlv in need of atten
tion. One is fast decaying and the
others seem de-tined to foMow.
The trees are apparently being
ki'led by insiets and something
should be done to prevent further
injury to snch magnificent oaks.
Rains have t een general through
out South Carolina daring the past
ten d» ys, and ihe crops have been
terribly injured. The fKroiars’ of
Darlington have at least the poor
satiefaeiiou of knowing that they
arc not the only sntterers at this
distressing state of things, which
we must sincerely nope is now at
an end.
Read Mr. V. C. Badham’s ad
vertisement ; it would be well foi
every farmot lo make a note of it.
Representing, as he does, the old
and established firm of Talbott &
Sous, uf Richmond, Va., and as
agent for the Hall, Eagle and
Lbuimus gins, he can supply oae
with all the machinery necessary
for farm use. Write to him at Co
lumbia, 8 C., or to Talbott & Sons,
Richmond, Va.
The Pee Dee “On a Boom.”
Reports from the Pee Dee show
an almost unprecedented rise in
that rivt-r. A telegram received at
this office, from Cheraw, yesterday
about noon says ; “The river is
tbirty-fivo feet high this morning
and rising one half an inch an
hour.” It will be remembered that
the highest point ever reached was
38 feet, in 1805, the year of the
memorable “Sherman Freshet.”
Municipal Affairs.
The Town Cooncil was in session
last Friday evening. Only two
matters of importance were dis
cussed. A petition signed by the
citizens of the town, a notice of
whiob has been given in The Dab
lihgton News, was submitted to
the effect that the privilege ot
running a new street from Cashua
Street parallel to Exchange be
granted certain property holders
interested. The matter was re
ferred for consideration to a com
mittee consisting of fie Mayor and
Wardens, Siskrou and Beck. The
affairs pertaining to the Artesian
Well were then discussed and it
was decided to continue the boring
of the well. The whole Connell
was made a committee to oon-
eider the manner in which the work
lboQ}i be |>ushed forward.

The Colored Farmers’ Alliance.
Rev. J. H. Carey organized a
County branch ol the Colored
rarmers’ Alliance in the Court
House yesterday, abont a hundred
respectable-looking well-to-do col
ored men having assembled the.e
for that purpose. The meeting was
addressed hy Mr. Lucas McIntosh,
1 resident of the White Farmers’
Alliance for this County, who wi s
present by special request. There
are some ten or twelve snb-alliances
of the colored Order now organized
In this County.
The Dog Convention.
A serious nuisance that onght
to be slopped by the proper au
thorities is the rnuning at large on
the Square, of a large number of
dogs, seemingly withont owners, or
with owners who are regardless of
the comfort of their neighbors.
Every night a large convention
of these dogs is held on the Square
and they keep up a continual bed
lam much to the annoyanceof those
who live near by. An immediate
stop should be put to a nuisance
that so disturbs the rest and quiet of
an otherwise peaceful community.
More', Honors for Mr Houston.
Another ycung Darlingtonian
has been honored. Mr. D. F Hous
ton was recently elected principal
of the City Schools at Spartanburg
and left home last Saturday to as
sume charge of bis new dalies.
Mr. Houston, has for the past year
been tutor of the Ancient Lai.ga
uges in the South Carolina College,
from which institution he was
graduated in the class of 1887.
This is quite a compliment to him
as the new position which is a fine
one, was proffered him entirely with
out his solicitation. We wish him
every success in his larger field of
labor.
Service Well Performed
As the time for the return of the
Rev. Mr. Law from his European
trip comes nearer and nearer, the
period of service of the Rev. W.
S Wallace, who has so aoceptabl.v
filled Mr. L.w’s pulpit duri. g his
absence, draws to itsclose Owing
to his many admirable qualities,
Mr. Wallace has won for himself a
host of friends in Darling o i Coun
ty, who will always extend him a
hearty welcome to their homes.
For one who has been in Ins holy
calling for to short a time, he gives
(he brightest promise ot future use
fulness, and his relatives and
friends iu his far off Florida home
will doubtless be ideused to know
oftbe fii.e impression which he has
created among the people of his
first charge.

The Weather ami the Mill Dams
The rec ut heavy rains, injuring
crops and causing freshets, have
not spared the dams of several of
the ponds iu this vicinity. Col. E.
R Mclver’s mill dam was washed
away for about sixty feet la*t
Thursday afternoon. It is renorted
further that the mill darns of H. II.
Rhodes, Mrs. 8. E. S. McCown, M.
A. Muldrow aud J. P. Wilson have
broken loose. If such be the cape,
the work at these nulls will be sc
riously retarded and the situation
can be of benefit to no one, except
perhaps the eutuusiastij angler,
many of whom seeing in it a “bonan
za,” are making the most of their op
portunities.
Contribute Your Mite.
The cry of anguish which is go
ing out to the world from the plague
stricken city of Jacksonville, has
been heard far aud wide, and i.i
response to the call of humanity,
the Mayor has appointed a citizens
committee of thirteen to receive
subscriptions for the aid of a peo
ple now prostrate beneath a terri
ble scourge, retreat from which is
impossible, the gates of sister cities
being closed against them. This
local relief committee cousis’s of
the following : Messrs. J. A. Boyd,
T. O. Stewait, Geo. Onslow, A. 8.
White, Woods & Woods, J. T. Bris
tow, Isaac Lewenthal, W. A Par-
rott, H.T. Thompson, J. Rosenberg,
H. L. Charles, L. E. Williamson,
and C D. Evans. Any of these
parties will receive subscriptions at
tbeir respective places of bn*ine:8,
from those who desire to givo their
mite tor the benefit of the yellow
fever sufferers. All should join iu
this noble work to help fellow be
ings in distress. Give yom mite,
however small it may be, for little
do we know that i> will send glads
ness into the heart of some unfor
tunate one now bravely contending
with ]>overty and pestilence! The
committee will meet to-morrow to
report what has already been done
and to discuss what is best to be
done in the prosecution of this most,
charitable work.
It may be stated here that the
Express Office at this place has been
notified by the Acting Route Agent,
Mr. R.C. Barrett, of Fayetteville, N.
C., that packages of monev, medis
cal supplies, etc., intenden for yel
low fever sufferers at Jacksonville,
will be forwarded by the Express
Company free of charge. Such
matte; should be addressed to J. J.
Yon can get a bargain in clothing
