The Marion Rifles, recently reor ganized at Marion, S 0, were inspect ed at that place on September 24, bv Adjutant and Inspector General M. L. Bonham, Jr, assisted by Gen. W. E. James. The Rifles bad a large number in line sod acquitted themselves creditably. Well de* serving the highest encomiums of praise tbe company is s sc arce ot pride to the people of Marion. On the night following the inspection a banquet was given by the Rifles in compliment to their distinguished guests at tbe Planters Hotel, which did honor to their hospitality. Many speeches were made, adding greatly to tbe pleasure of tbe ooca sion, among which was the response of Gen. W. E. James to tbe toast, “The Third Brigade." Tbe day is one long to be remembered in the mill tsry circles of Marion. A Commendable Move. Tbe Colored Farmers’ Alliance*' are now makinga move in th- right direction. They will now tarn ftioir attention to the cause of education. A circular has been issued by tbe State Su|ierintendent. Prof. James H. Carey, of Society Hill, S. 0, stating that on Novemlwr 5th a school will be established at that place for yoang men and women of the colored race. Tbe school will continue until February 4th, 1889, and will be nndoi the joint super vision of the Alliances in Marlboro, Chesterfield and D irlingtou Coun ties. Tbe tuition chaigi s are small and ample arrangements will be made to give the young colored per pie a good English education This movement is highly com mend able and well deserving of the sue cess which the zeal >f its promoters seem to iusaro. It is hoped that tbe attendance upon tbe school will be large. ilte Fall Fair. Our readers will hear in mind that the eight* t ilth > iinua' fail of the Darlington Agiieultural and Mechanical Fair Company will he held this year on the 24th, ‘2.31 h, and 26tb of October,an I tho-e who intend or expect to become ezbi bi- tors should be getting ready for the same. This is one of tbe few Comi ty fairs in the State which have stood the vicissitudes ot the weather and the times and while others have fallen to the ground through lack of patronage and interest, the people of Darlington County have never failed by their exhibits to make it the equal in many respects of tbe State Fair and by their at tendance to furnish tbe means for its support and maintenance. The Directors have paid ont al every fair a very large cash prem ium list, and each year something new has been added to tbe list of premiums as sgriealtnre advances or new discoveries are made in meobanics and in the finer arts. Besides the usual long list of prem iums there are thtee special prem inma offered by private individuals to whiph we would call special at tention. One gentleman offers to the ex hibitor taking the largest number of premiums not less than ten, in the field, crop and slock depart ments, one jersey bull entitled to registration. A twenty-five dollar sewing machine will be given to tbe lady taking tbe largest nomber of prem ia ms nor less than fifteen in tbe household departments A. B. A 0. A premium of ten dollars will be given by tbe owners ot Robt Beamer for the best male colt ot his got These premiams will in no oase interfere with or be given in tbe place of those offered by the com pany. Arrangements are being made tor reduced rates on all tbe railroads and for special trains from Cheraw and Georgetown. Already quite a nomber of exhibits have been promised, and oould the Direetore only control the weather we may confidently look forward to one of the best faira ever held by thia auooeaaful ins Ration. Pereons wiebing premium lists should apply to the Secretary or inquire at the Sheriffs office in Darlington* Unclaimed Letters The following is the list of un claimed letters remaining in the postoffice at Datlington f«>r the S^ n S 8atur ‘ u -V 2»th, 1888, Persons calling for them will please mention the fact that they were advertised: men’s list. nu' u‘ 3.

Hpartanbnrg Alliance and the Jute Bagging Trust. (Cor. News ond Courior ) Clifton, September 30.—The Cannon’s Camp ground Club of Farmeis* Alliance at their last meeting appointed a committee to consol* with tbe cotton mills and see what they would buy bagging and ties tor, and iu what otbur wraps cotton would be acceptable. They received tbe following an swer: Bogging and ties |>er pat tern 75 cents, and they will accept cotton in any wrapping except piue boards. Two of tbo moat noted farmers of tbe Cherokee Alliaaoe Club were here yesterday with cot ten. They are very enthusiastic over manafactnriog wrapping at borne out of cotton. They think a good idea would be to erect a mill on Paeolet River to run on coarse work, such as would suit for bag ging, and let all the farmers of the oounty patronize it This would increase home consumption and thereby increase tbe price of ootton. There will be a meeting of all the clubs in tbe oonnty on the 5tb of October, at which they will discuss whether or not they shall have a country store; whether or not the Alliance shall use any new bagging. A Good Chance for s 8ostberuer. The Government of Queensland, Australia, has offered £150, having just increased a former offer of X6U0 salary per year for an in structor in tbe American system of agriculture. Application is made through tbe department of agrieol- tore. Uo-omissioner Golman has received so tar no applicst ion from tha Sonth for tbe position, and only one from tbe West. All the applicants seem to come from the States of New York, New Jersey and Delaware.
