Keys has returned to Darlington and will continue to bay cotton at his o.d stand at Edwards* Noruient. There i» on foot a movement to organize a Society for the Prevcn tiou of Cruelty to Animals in Dar lington. Read the advertisement of Mr. Sidney Jacobi and kco wbat he has to say about carri iug your cotton to Florence. Before he leh for home on Tuesday, the Rev. Mr. Wallace was presented with a handsome gold „ watch by the ladies ot his congrega tion The Pee Dee River at noon on Tuesday was 9 f*et 9 inches above lo# water mark, and was still ris ing. Lynch’s River was 14 feet above low water mark ou Monday. J. P. NcNeill, Em] , of Florence S. 0., has been appointed a mem- berof the Darlington County Board of Examiners, to fill a vacancy- caused by resignation. Edwards & Norment’s Fall Opening was held ou Tuesday last, uod was fully as successful as it has ever been in previous years. A detailed account ot it will be giv en in our next issue. The first mouth with an “r” has come and the oyster is now in sea- ion. Mr. George Webb is deter mined not to be behind in this line of his business, and to morrow be will have at bis restauraut. a large supply of fresh Norfolk oysters. Col. Thou, C. Law, ot Ilartsville, one of the oldest end most highly respee'ed citizens of the County, was suddenly taken seriously ill ou Tuesday. This iu'elligence will be received throughout the County with extreme regret. Mr. Dwight Wilsou, a former resident of Darlington, who is a brother ot Mr. Coit Wilson, is ou a visit to bia relatives here and will remuiu until the yellow fever leaves Florida, in which State he has made his home for several yeats past. One day last week a little dau^h ter of Mr. Dewitt McCall fell from a window oflbe barn > t the Ex perimental Station to the gionnd, a distance of about ten feet. While she was stunned at first from the fall, the little oue sustained no very serious injury. A few days since a pony, be longing to Mr. Dewitt McCall, tried to jump a fence, when it was caught in the palling*, two of them pierc ing its b«dy. The pouy was thus •UN|»eiided in the art uutil some one came to the aseistauoe of the unfortunate animal and ended its then useless life. Messrs Ward k Woods, as will be »eeu from their notice which is published in another column, will in thef'ture, pay special atteu iou to the real estate business. The firm has cbaige of some of the choicest pioperly in the Towu and County, and all who desire to buy rent or sell would do well to call ou them. The people of Darlington need have no lears about, the ‘‘school question” for the Fall. The Trus tees of St. John’s Academy will perfect such arniugemeuts for bringing over the interval between •bis time and next Fall, when the Graded Schools will be organized, as will afford entire satisfaction in the community. Owiho to the inclemency of the weathor and to the fact that the ■peaker was unwell, Rev. J. S. Du^ Rose was unable to deliver his ser mon at the Court House on Tuesday night in accordance with the ap- pomtment previously made. He hopes to redeem his promisem the near future, however. Rubber Stamps. Kr.e. Laugsdorf, ag ntfor the “Wheless Stamp Press Company” of Augusta Georgia, was in town several days ago. This house i« the largest, of its kind in the South and furnishes first class rubber stamps, steucils, seals badges, etc. Mr. Langsdorf met with much success while here, obtaining mauy orders for bis hou*6. He will re turn to Darlingt- u shortly to solicit further orders. Any desiring such work done should certainly patro nize the “Whelesr.” He Contributed to the *'Yellow Fever Fund." Several days ago an adventurer came to Darlington and represent ed himself as being oue B. McDade, whose business it was to collect roots and herbs for a large whole sale drug house at the North. It is alleged that McDade subscribed to the “yellow fever” fund ami theu skipped the town, owing the hotel keeper^nd everyone with whom be bad dealings while here. A day or two afu-rwurds he was apprehended in Wadesboro, N. and a requisi tion lias been obtained from the Governor in older that he may be brought back to Darliugtou aud tried for obtaining goods by false preteuces. The Bagging frost. We have been requested to pub- lisb the following notice: “A called meeting of the Farmers’ Alli ance of Darlington County will be held at Darlington C. H., Tuesday, September 25th, for the purpose of consulting as to what action shall be taken as regards the ‘Cotton Bagging Trust.’ Sub Alliances throughought the county will ulease send up strong delegations*. All come who can.” Lucas McIntosh, Pres. D. C. F. $.. Elihu Muldrow, ISectetary. li,, ? t 2, D ( ^ onfjr ( whi ‘«) Allianc, and Mr. P. p. Chambers, also a member of that organization, spoke words of advice and encourage ment to the meeting. All the Mil dresses, fruitful with good council, w* re listened to by those pieseut with an attention that showed the deep interest taken in the woik by the colored men. The members of this new organization are entbusi- astic in the work of fulfil ing the purposes designated by the Alii- ance and are confident of an ulti mate success conducive of much good to the colored race.

As will be seen from the adver tisement which appears iu another column, Mr. A. Nachman wants to buy 10,000 bales of cotton within the next GO days, and is prepared to give the very highest market price for them. For this purpose a professional buyer from North Caioliua will be stationed at his store during this season. Th* Clerk of the Court has re ceived notice from the Comptroller General that neatly all of the mon ey appropriated tor the payment of pension having been exhausted, the small balance which now remains will be divided out atuoug tbe dif ferent counties at the end ot the present mouth, after which time no uiqre. pension claims will be paid this year. A Fair for the Darlington Guards. Owing to tbe purchase of their new uniforms the Darlington Guards have contracted a debt which they are anxious to liqnida'e as soon as possible. To this end it is proposed to hold a fair during the mouth of October to raise the necessary funds. Tbe lady mends of the company are enruesUy le quested to lend their assistance to a cause which cuu so worthily claim their aid. Au efficient committee from the company has been ap pointed to arrange the necessary details aud it is hoped that tne la dies will co-o|>erate with the corns miit.ee io making tbe fair a min* plete success, financially and •■thcr wise. The committee will report at a special meeting of the company on September 24th, eoactiuing some plan for pushing tbe matter to a successful termiuatiou. A meet iug of the Guards was held on Monday night aud much enthusi asm was ahowu iu regard to the project. Comments ot a. Spectator. (Reported .'or tbe News.) On Friday the 14th inst., Oates’ Academy was the scene of an eu- teitaimmut, unique aud replete with interest, which certainly de served a larger share of sympathy and support than the community bestowed. The occasion was au “Elocutionary contest fur the edu cation of youth iu the priuciples of Temperance and Prolnbitiou” which to enjoy, was well worth risking the shower ever aud anon threatened. All the speakers, young ladies and gontlemeu, aquit- ted ihemsehes with credit; euuu ciatmg with fine effect “thoughts that glow and words that burn,” and where each did so well it is difficult to discriminate, but we canuot forbear alluding sjncially to tbe graceful, impassioned and im pressive, rendering of “A Martyied mother.’’ The audience while awaiting the judges’ decision, pro- needed to bestow the aiedel each to suit himself; it was finally awarded by tbe judges to a youug lady of Lydia. Tbe festival held somewhat in connection was lather too success- iul to be pleasant to some late ar rivals who found thecieamall goue and nothing remaining for them except some very thin slices ot cake and only two or three young ladies to serve it. It is proposed we believe to make this eoutest the first of a series and we feel confi dent none will be disappointed who are privileged to attend. Freaks of Nature A genuine curiosity may be seen at Dr. Boyd’s drug store in tbe shaite of a two-headed snake. Tbe reptile waa killed by a colored man several days ago in the vicinity of Floyd’s Mill aud is a king snake, six or eight inches long. The two heads are distinct and perfect iu every respect aud are joined to their body by means ot separate necka. The remarkable part of this curiosity, in which it differs from most of its kind, is the ]>erfeot development of every part of both heads. Another freak of nature recently devetoned in these parts, is s tur- key gobbler, belonging to Mr. New eloped in ton Gandj, who lives on Dr. Will ©ox’s place about four miles from town. For some time past th* gob bler has been setting on some hen and has rinoe hatched ts fine * k* 0 * 1 of chickens ao can be found •nywbere, and is now attending to ^wut.ofU.. young one. with erbe" The Day ot Atonement. Last Friday evening the celebra tion of the most solcuiu day iu the Jewish year, was begun. Saturday was the tenth day of Tishri, the Day of Atoujmeut, iu Hebrew' “Yom Kippur”—a season of much religious significance to the Jew. The services of this day weie tigid ly and universally observed by the Israelites ot this community aud although Satuiday is tbe busiest day of tbe week every one close i his store in obeisance to bis reli gious duties. Begiuuiug on Friday evening, they ccleorated the clos ing day of the peuitculial season, which was commeuced on Wednes day of the week previous. Being the time appointed by God as the period for tbe forgiveness ot sins, it *s heldby thefollow’ersof the faith to be a day of absolute fast, the worshipers partaking of no food or liquid, from the eve of Friday uu til the appearance of the first star ou Saturday evening aud tbe l low* iug ot a trumpet by tbe Rabbi. Ou cloudy eveuiugs tbe trumpet aloue tells of tbe eud of tbe fast. Five services were held here, oouducte i by Rev. Mr. Lesser, of New York. The first was Kol Nidre, or open ing set vi. e, held ou Friday eveuiug. Next day the Shdcbarith, lasting until a little before noon was cele brated ; then tbe Mussaph, contin uing until 3 o’clock P. M.; next followed the Mincha, aud finally the closing sen ice, Ne’ila. Toe faithful faateisanivcd at the place of worship early iu the day and tbe aervicea were held continually uutil the Day ot Atouement had passed away. The Colored Alliance. The several subordinate Colored Farmers’ Alliauces met at the Court House on the 12th inst, for (I e purpose of organizing a County Alliance. Tbe meeting was called to order by Rev. James H. Carey, of Society Hill, the State Superiu- teudeut of the Colored Farmers’ National Alliance of the United States.

Addresses were next made ‘•Sprouting In the Field ” Editor of The Darlington AW* ; 1 believe that the farmers in their auxirty about the ootton crop have almost forgotten (hat we have a corn crop. We ail know that our cotton is badly' damaged, and 1 believe the best thing we can do is to let it wait until we have sufficient sun shine to dry it in the field. It will give belter and make a better sample. The object of ibis communication is to call the atteu tiou of tbe farm ers in the condition of our corn. It you will ,-x mme your corn you will fiud fully one-fourth badly damaged; some of it has sprouted and some has rotted. Wbat are «e to do about it f 1 have no ex perience, but I believe we should gather it and stack It out as soon au we can, aud as we slack it out sprinkle a small quantity of salt over it On making au exatnina- I iou you will find that the ears standing upright on tbe stalk are tbe most damage-1; the shuck holds the water, and has caused it to sprou*. But with our crops damaged as they aie, we are so much better off than those whose cro;>s have be. u swept away by the high water of our streams, that we should be thaukful. E. W.
