Already is these coin inns the
Darlington Ginning, Milling and

are fiui»hed and work has begun it
will be well to let our readers know
something more about the new in
dustry that bids fair to hold its
own among the sncccsstul ventures
in Darbng’on.
The bnildiugs at the depot are
three in number. One being tbe
engine and boiler bonse iu which
there are two grist mills, another iu
which six Carver gins and two
cotton presses are at work and the
third which is to be used a* a
ware house, with a capacity oi 3.000
bale* of cotton.
The middle building ha* three
floors. Cotkon is unloaded at the
lower floor and taken immediately
by aR endless belt to the third
floor and from thence curried by
bopiters to the gins on 'he seeon-i
floor. There are on the first floor
two appurtmeuts for cotton seed.
Out in which the seed 1*11* if the
owner wishes to Uke it away and
another in which it is marie to fall
if sold to the Company. By means
ot conveyers the seed can be taken
directly to a chute and emptied
into box oars which stand oa the
new side truck built by the Rail
road company.
An elevator will be built con
necting with nil of the floors.
Besides ttu many labor saving
devices iu the building, twenty
hands use constauUy employed,
although as yet the mills have not
by any means reached their fall
-capacity, as they have been run
ning only a we k. Witn the force
to be employed sixty bales a day
can be ginned and packed by the
Company. f <
Later on machinery ior mixing
fertilisers will be put op.
It requires three engines to run
the machinery, one of fifty horse
power drives the gins and presnea,
one twenty five horse power dtives
the grist mil sand s third of ten horse
power drives the fertilizer maeh
ines. These buildings are owned
by a joint stock company of which
G. 8. McCullough is President He
also has the management of the
mills.
The fitting iu of the machinery
was done by D. A. Tompkeu* A Co.,
of Charlotte, N. C. The building
is so secure that with six aius run

Senator Coke, in opposing the

iu equality before the law of all the

one good respectable widow was
exactly the same before the law a*
auo her. There were hundred* ot
'thousands of good widows in the
United Slates, who were us much

right, to a donation from Congress
as the estimable lady for whose re

Chinese cxciusivh bill.

on the General ffefleiency bdi,
which has at 1 at become a law,
stated a rock ribbed truth wbeu he
aaid that the people bad turned the
Republican party oat of power, not
on account of extravagance In ap
propriations, but because of the
waate and w ant oi integrity iu the
expenditure of the money.
The 'opuhlican Senators nre re- ]
hustling ti e oM rom out “cheat- ]
nula” that did duty in th** Hons*
daring the diacosaiou of the Mil s
bill. That they are only kiliing
time in the hope of staking politi
cal capital, was fully shown on he
day that their tariff bill wag inuo
duced. Senator Harris piopoeed
thst the debate on flu* bid eh- nld
be limited to ten day * but S< nator
Alll-on, who is in ebaigc of tbe
Republican hill, deciim d most posi
tively to agree to limit the debate.
Does that look like the Republi
can* reallv want to pass the tariff
bill which they have introduced !
I think not. And here is auo'her
straw : Nearly every R< publican
Sen »tor has stated within tbe 1**1
three davs, that if ! he Hons** would
pass a resolution to take a recess
until after the el cion, or for an
adjournment, they would vote for
it iu the Senate, They are perfect
ly willing to adjonm without pa'-s-
ing their tarifl bjn t provided that
they can go uj*on the stump and
say that tbe House form! them to
adjourn. Ibis the House has so
tar refused to do, and if the advice
of the hougest headed uieu iu the
party is followed, they will contin
ue to lefuse to the c nd of the chap
ter !
The Hon4e adjourned from Red-i
nesday until today, and it will
not be surprising if it continnes to
adjourn over three days at a tini-,
the limit of the law, until the Soi.w
ate takes some action looking to*i
wards a recess or adjournment.
The bill changing the law a* to

' Used as the work of celebrated French

The fact is that, beyond a general out

faithfully made after maps procured from
i authentic sources and a general direction
of tbo plan of the work, the artist in
! chief bod very little to do with it. No
I man engaged in a battle sees it, and an
accurate painting of two armies in com
bat is impossible. The general features
only are known. For instance, in tho
i Gettysburg painting there are accurately
defined the reads. Crown Hill, Little Crown
Hill, the wheat field in which a memorable
charge was made, one or two buildings
which wefo headquarters of the leading
generals, and with reasonable accuracy,
the topography of the country is de
picted with excellent perspective. But
the details of the battle, the actual clash
of arms between this and that division
or brigade, is left a good deal to the

About the middle of the last century a

India, where he became acquainted with
Lord Clive. The acquaintance ripened
into intimate friendship and led to con
stant association. There hung up in
Mnskeleync’s room several portrait*,
among others a miniaturo which attracted
Clive’s frequent attention. One day
after the English mail had arrived Cllvo
asked MaskeT. ync if ho had received any
English letters, adding: “We have been
very much misunderstood at home an i
much censured in English circles."
Maskeleyne replied that he hr 1, and read
to his friend :i letter he then held in his
hand.
A day or two afterward Clive came
beck to ask to have tho letter read to
him again. “Who is the writerf” in
quired Clive. “My sister," was tlie re
ply; “mr tetter, whose miniaturo hnjiga
there. ” “L it a faithful representation?"

Take it all together, it makes up a

the musk intense interest on the part of

As a '' hole nation wo are not greatly

African commerce. We are not bound
to consider closely whether good or bad

our own recent great acquisition of ex

mind that trade questions are thcmtelven
intimately bound up with the rescue of

commerce, as it is at present conducted

even tliat larger kind of commerce with
which the white men oventunlly deals at

the effect of listening to tills mighty

pleasant sound which assails tho ear.
Tho row is positively musical, they say,
and a few years ago a distinguished
American orgvni't sj>ent a long time in
studying it. and trying to learn the im«a-

came to the conclusion that the deepest
tone undo by the falling cataract was
that which would be |iroduced by an
organ pijie about 100 feet in length, sad

are made. Now. 160 ftet, v.-hieh Li
about ttte height of the fall* (this varies
from ISO feet to r early ISO feet), is much
longer than any organ pipe is made, and
the sound emitted bv such n pipe would
not be Hcnsihle to uv ns a musical sound.
Therefore oar ears cenM not apprehend
the music of the deepest tones; and as

Science for the Million.
Nowadays when a man travels there is
no reason, if bo visits nome country that

facts of scientific valne, even though he
may lack extended training in science.
Both the English and tlie ti. naans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
tbe most notable authorities, giving the
traveler manilo! 1 bints how to make bis
wanderings useful to the world. They
show him In the simplest possible manner
tbe methods of making route maj*, of
ascertaining most easily and accurate^
tbe width and velocity of rivers, the
height of mountains, latitudes, longitudes
and so on. Ti»cy point out the facto he
needs to observe to give geologists the
clearest idea of the physical structure of
A country. They show hhn how to make
and preserve ooilections in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying and pho
tography, and tell him just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
If, in addition to those bints, bo desires
preliminary Instruction and practical
field training, ample proricioas to meet
his wanta have boen supplied by the
geographical societies in London, Paris
and Berlin, where at moderate .cost (in
London only two ttbilKug* mid rixpenoe

training that many of our most eminent

ceived. Many ingenious devices and ex
pedients havo also been invented to facili
tate the work of tlie explorer, of wliich
wo need ouly mention here tbe FVench

numlier, by means of which the traveler
is abb tv give a far more accurate idea of
tho color of the people ho meets than he
