Mr. Del* i mo is in town having ac cepted tbe place tondered him. An unusually large nomber of hidea of cotton are now on the streets ot the town. As counted a few nights ago by some young men the nomber ot bales on the streets amounted to 1,010. Adding to this some three to five hnudred bales on the premises of some of tbe cotton buyers the total number will reach n< arly 1,600 bales. Tbe Lodge of tbe Knights of Py thias at this place, for which some of onr citizens have been working very bant, will be organized anil put in thorough working order on Thursday, Got, 18th. Quite a num ber of organizers will be here tiom Columbia, Darlington, Charleston, and elsewhere.—Clarendon Entei- prise. * A BALE of cotton was brought to town and sold on Tuesday. After tbe purchase it was discover ed that the bale waa on fire. As it had been packed ifc a screw on the day previous it is supposed that a spark was dropped iu at the time of the packing and tbe cotton burned slowly until discovered twenty-four boors later. When the bale waa tom open an immense bole was foaud to have been burned insidq. The Board of County Commis sioners met on Monday and as will he seen by reference to another column gave notiee that the au- nuaJ meeting of tbe Board will be held at their office on Tuesday, the 8th of November next All per •one holding bills, aooonnta or de~ mauds of any kind, not previously presented, are directed to deposit the same with the clerk «f the Board, on or before tbe first day of November, in order that they may be properly examined. miliar with birds of its kind, it is supposed the bird waa blown here from the sea coast by the violent storm of the evening preceding. A Serial Story. Beginning with the next issue Bret Hsrte’s famous story ^Thank ful Blossoms,” will appear in The Darlington News until Christ mss. The story is acknowledged r ***** ** terar 3 r critics to be one of the fined productions of this most eminent American author. Bret Harte’a writings are so universally popular that we tee! certain that onr readers will be pleased to have an opportunity of reading his “Thankful Blossom”—a story iu which the author appears at his best. eminent in hia eaUiag and so sue cessful iu his work. The Teachers Examination. The County Board of Examiners held an examination in the Court House on Friday last for persons applying for teachers certificates for this County. Th- entire Boaid consisting ot Co!. W. H. Evans, Chairman and Col. B. W. Edward* and J. P. McNeil, Esq., was pre sent. Twenty seven applicants re ported for tbe examination. As yet, however, the Board has maile no decision as to the result, the papers of the several applicants still being under cousiderutioti. The Ginning, Milling and Fertilizing Company* Everything necessary for the transactiou of business at the bnild ings of the Ginning, Milling and Fertilizing Company hag been pat iu position and the establishment begun work on Friday. The Che raw aud Darlington Railroad has built a side track at the depot lor tbe express use ot the company. An extended description of tbe buildings, etc, and tbe work traus- acted there will be given iu our next issue. A Good Offer. As has beeu previously s’atel in these columns any subsenb r who will pay up to date for the Dar lington News aud a year iu ad vance will receive that paper and the American Farmer for one year. In addition to this, to any person paying his subscription to The News iu advance we will now send tbe American Farmer aud the week ly Fries and Courier together with The News for 12.75 a year. This is a good offer which uoue should fail to take advantage ot. A Nuisance Much complaint has beeu made by the travellers of tbe roads througbont this section of the coun ty against tbe praeiioe of heaping the cotton, after picking, along tbe aides ot the roads. This is a con- slant cause of horses taking afrigbt aud uot only is a nuisance to every passer by but frequentl> a source of danger to life aud limb. Some steps should be lakeu immediately by the proper HUlhoiiti-s to put a siop Ufa practice m> liable st any time to cause oue great incouveo euoe and possibly serious injury. A Strange Bird. Last Wednesday morning a bird not an inhabitant of these parts waa fonnd in tbe yard of a residence in town. At the bird is not common in this country,'being beyond doubt a tea bird, there waa some cariosi ty to know its species. On inquiry, however, no ono seemed to te fa- Episcopal Services It will be glad tidings to tbe members of tbe Episoo|uil denomi nation here that the Rev. VV. A. Guerry, who was m-eutly or dained to tbe diaconate in the Uhnrch aud assigned to ihecharg-s at Florence,- Mariou aud Mais Bluff', will also bold regular services in the Chapel at this place. Tbe Sun day services will be held once a month in the afternoon—the da. to be determined upon shortly. It s also probable that a week day service will be arranged lor every Wednesday afternoon The Epis copalians who have worked so earnestly to establish a branch of their Gbarcb in ibis town seem verily to have received their re ward. The Florence Cemetery Road. The Washington correspondent of the Feres and Courier in bis let ter of the 3rd iust., has tbe follow ing to say iu regard to this road : “There is a bright prospect that Cougres- before adjourning will act favorably upon Representative Dargan’s bill, providing for the ooustructiou of a road trera Flor ence, South Carolina, to the Na tional Cemetery adjacent thereto. The House has already passed the bill, which provides for an appro priation of $50,000, and the Senate committee on military affairs has also submitted a favorable report on tbe same. Tbe secretary of war has recommended tbe construction of the proposed road, and at the first favorable opportunity Senator Hampton proposes to call it up aud put it on its passage.” A Carolinian Called Home. We republiah elsewhere notices ftom the Feset and Courier to the effect that Rev. E. O. Dargan, D. D., ot Dixoo t California, has in-en called to the pastorate of the Cita del Square Baptist Church iu Char leston and that tbe call has been accepted by him. Dr. Dargan is a uative ot Darlington being a son of the distinguished Baptist minister, Rev J O. B. Dargan, D. D The news of his earli return to South Carolina will be received by all here with much pleasure and iho->e who knew him int mately iu days gone by and have aiuoe been sep arated such a distance from him will gladly welcome him home ouoe more. Although comparatively young in yean Dr. Dargan has won an enviable position fu tbe minietry and tbe members ot the Baptist denomination in Charleston and iu the State are to be congratulated on obtaining the services of one so The Darlington Guards Fair. At a meeting of the Darlington Guards held on last Monday night, a committee waa appointed to make hII necessary arrangements far tbe proposed fair which will be held at an early day. The commits e cou sists of tbe following members: Captain J. K. Mclver, Chairman, Lieutenant J. S. Buicb, Sergeants S. 8. Burch, R. E. James and M. T. Lide aud Privates F. R. Rhodes, J. J. Uayusworth. W. A. Parrott and R. C. Galloway. This committee met on Tuesday night aud decided to request a committee of their lady frieuds and a citizens’ auxiliary committee (the names of the memb.-rs composing these two committees to be given later), to assist the company in perfecting arrangements tor the fair The committee on the part of the Guards, together with the two aux Hilary committees, will hold a joint meeting shortly aud deteimiue fiim ally upon the date on which the fair will be held. Such an energetic committee, as aisled by the uuiiiiog efforts of their friends will make Hie fair a complete success. A pleasant time is promised ail who will attend and thus assist this gallant corps in their efforts to retain tbe prestige it has hitherto enjoyed iu the mili tary circles of the Pee Dee country. The People’s Bank According to the uo'ice previous ly given the stockholders of tills Bank met on Monday last. Shares of the capital stock to the amount of $43,000 were represented. The specific purpose of tbe meeting, as stated iu the call for the same, was to authorize an increase of tbe cap* ital stock of tbe Bauk. A resolu tion was immediately passed au thorizing an iucrease to $200,000. As will be seen by reference to a notice published iu another coluinu tbe books of subscription will be opened at the office of the Bauk ou and after the 19th of October. As au indication of the confidence placed by non-residents iu the sta bility of the institution and the se curity of invest meats in the Peo ple's Bauk as well as in the enter prises of onr town iu general it ia well to note that a commercial trav eller, who often has occasion to pass throngh Darlington and appreciates the spirit of healthy progress which pervades this community, has signi fied bis intention to subscribe five hundred dollars to tbe proposed in crease of capital stock. Besides a well-known citizen who has already one thousand dollars invested iu this Bank will increase hia sub scription to three thousand dollars. The affairs of this bauk are io a flourishing condition, aud we note with pleasure the many evidences of its continued prosperity. All such movements are but the signs of tbe steady advances that our town is making in the march of general prosperity enabling her to cope successfully with the piogicss of her sister town*. Mr. George On*low, who has for many years been the efficient agent of tbe Gbersw k Darlington Rail road at this place, lias been elected teller of the Bauk. Mr. Onslow will, we confidently predict, prove himself wel worthy to fill the high position to which be has beeu pro moted. Mr. Dargan’s Speech in Marion. The aud euce which assembled to hear Gougressmau Dargau’s speech ou Wednesday night was uot large tiut was very select aud au intelli gent one. Mr. Dargan made no attempt at display or to deliver a fine speech, but addressed his hearers in a quiet aud dispassionate manner, dealing eutirely with tacts aud the ques tious uow agitating tbe people, with an explanation of his vote op- on the Blair Bui aud the bill by which the Commissioner of Agri* culture is to become a cabinet offi oer. Both of these measures aie of Republican origin intended to further tbe interests ol that party. The Blair Educ-itioual Bill is a Republican measure which is pro fessedly the open iug wedge by which the general government is to obtain control of tbe public schools of tbe country. This is to be tbe first step in a series destined to accomplish that end. It is not in'euded to help the pet pie but on ly to pave tbe way toward upaeling the power of the States in the con trol ol tbe public schools. On the question ot making the commissioner of agriculture a cabi net officer he said that the cabinet officers are invested with some exe cutive or ruling (lower—such as tbe control of our foreign affairs, of tbe army, navy, treasury Ac., all exer cising governmental fuuotions, and asked what executive function can be exercised by the agriculturalist. The goverumeut oauuot formulate regulations according to which far mers most till their lauds It can not stipulate how much or bow lit tle a man cau plant, w hou he shall plant, what he shall plant aud when and bow he shall gather bis pro duce. That the Secretary of Agri culture would have as hia only func tion and power the gathering, com piling and publishing of statistical information which might be of val ue t<> the farmer. That it there be a Secretary of Agricaltur*, why not one of Commerce ! of Manufaet- urea !«f Mining f of Railroads f or ou for every other monetary inter est in tbe country. That there ia already a cry from a Republican organ demanding places iu rite cab inel for several other interests bs sides agriculture. For these rea sons he voted against establishing an expensive office just to give some oue n “lat piece” when no good would be derived further tbau I that alieady HCt-ompiishnl |»y ooniuilssioiier. The remaijder of his spreeb w as s very cleat and eouoi-e history of the tai iff, from its rise as s system of revenue to its development into an enormous protective tariff. This porrion of his speech whs very in teresting, full of information aud was heard with unflagging atten tion. Such quiet, uupreteutious wpeeches as this are worth all the spoutiug of the so-called orator aud will do mere to euligbteu tbeiuiuds of the people.—Pee Dee Index. The Farmers’ Alliance. (Hrported or the New#.) Ou la*<t Friday, the 5th iust., was held the regular quarterly meeting of the County Alliance, one that has made a step forw ard in tbe great miissiou incumbent upon the Order, (’id. E. .'R.

Resolved, That other thiugs being equal (prices etc.,) preference will be given by this Alliance to fertilizers put up iu cotton sacks. Resolved, That we recommend to the members of tbe Farmers’ Alli ance iu 8. 0., that they give the State Organ, The Cotton Plant, their patronage, aud that clubs be raised iu each sub-Alliance for that pur pose The following resolution coming from tbe Society Hill Alliance, af ter amending it, was heartily en dorto-d by the County Alliance. Preamble. In tbe opiuion of tills sub Alliance it is highly desirable that the Road Laws be so modified as to require tbe roads to be kept in order by con ti act. Resotved.

Col. Ing- lesby said he hnd read l..e account, which was in mauy reaped* correct, and that the le ter referred to ia as to lows: OrriOB or thb Gbbbd 8bc. or tbb ) Gbabo Looat:, A. f. and A.

There is no necessity for a long exordium, so here is the busi ness: About a week ago a liuls M«#r uiou girl found, while bathing in Sait Lake, Lake Park, in the water, a heavy gold ring, weighing about 20 penny weight. Th'* ring beats ou the outsiue all the Masonic em blems from the M. M. Degree to the K T Degree and Scotiish Hi e On ihe inside lb«-re isengrav>d ibe following: “ Gratitude of Svd'iu.vD to a worthy Brother. O lumt.ia, S. C , 1873. Veritas mors nonsepata tus, spea men in deo est. ,, Some of the Liiu is hi flue aud worn out that it is hard to make ©at. The above is about tbe substance. The girl gave the ring to her father, who lelt it at tne railroad office. It was (heu advertised for three days, but those who applied for it conlu not describe it and the railrodd official returned it again to tbe father ot the girL 1 ouly heard of the affair this moruiug through a brother Mason and rushed quick ly to the man, telling him what 1 intended to do, aud that it would be easy for me to find tbe ow uer by writing io the Grand Secretary of South Carolina. Ue claimed $20 for reward, and insisted that if I would uot pay it to him he wonld sell the ring ; w hereupon 1 called a lawyer iu the house, who explained the law to him. After that he promised to keep the ring until he hears from me. The best thing to do is that you write to your Lodge at (Jolumuia, find out if one ol their members has been here and bathed iu Lake Park, aud in which noiel he pat up and at what date, so that i could refer to it. Then let him make au affi davit before a proper magistrate that be is the owner of the ring, let him cive a full description ot it, and 1 wilt make it my duiy to gel it for him. It would uot be oat of place if he encloses a reward tor the girl and a liberal one. Trusting that the owner may be found aud that he will be pleased with my doings, believe me to be fraternally yours, Chnsiopber Diehl, Grand Sec. Col. luglesby said he seut the letter at once to Mr. G. T. B.-rg, a prominent aud acme Mason in Columbia for information aud as* sistauofc in finding the owner of the ring. Mr. Berg, alter having un- suooesstuily exhausted inquiry iu Columbia wrote to Col. luglesby, that be bad beeu unable to discov er the owner of the ring. In reply lo:. luglesby suggest***# u» Mr B« rg that there were many persons IU 1873 who did not tiuu it very pleas •ut to rematii lot*re af'er 1878 and that the owner ut the ring might have ueeu among this uiimber. Acting apou this hint, Mr. Berg imuKdlawy spotted the iuscup iou in Mm ring as very* probably refer ring to Mr. Uaraj Solomon, aud wrote to that person, who was then livtug in Kansas, aud lelstvd the substance ot the let tor received from Grand Secretary Diehl. Mr. Soiom >n replied'Int h« had i re sented such a tin/ to tie Ib-v. B. F. Whirtemore, who. when L.si »«*.>rd of, was living in Boston. Mr Solo mon mImo remitted tbe money el.iim e4 for the reward for the finding of the ring to Mr. Diehl, who nnmedi ately forwarded the ring to Mr. Solomon, who again presented it to Mr. Vi hittemuro. Assuredly the ring has a history which will doubt less make it the more valuable to Parson Whitbmore.—Fetes and Courier. Ilnalncas hotter*.
