■.ii THE DARLINGTON NEWS, THURSDAY, OOT. 25,1888. XjOC-A.Xj items. Mb. Robert Wilson, Jr, of Char leston, was in town last Thursday. Cotton, middling, is bringing 81 cents per pound in this market. The town authorities are mak ing improvt ments on Orange Street. The Court and the Pair have brought a large number of visitors to Darlington. Capt. Milton McLaurin, ot Ben- nettsville, was in town last week on proh ssional business. THE employees at the Artesien well are now engaged in extricat- jng the old pipe fiotu the well. In the absemw of the pastor, the pulpit of th«' Presbyterian Church was filled by ilu* Rev. W. S. Wah lace on Sunday last. Mr. L R. .Marshall, of Columbia who at the recent Richland prima’ r.V was elected Auditor of that county, is in Darlington. The Dovesville Ailianoe will meet at that place on Saturday next, October 27th, at 3 o’clock P. M. A iull attendance is requested. Solicitor H. R. Newton enter tained the children of the Methodist Sunday Schor l last Sunday with a highly instructive talk on‘ Con fidence.” Three gypsies and a con pie of bears were an attraction to many on the Sq uare o:i Saturday after uoou, *he antics of “old bruin” causing much merriment. The nsual services will be held in the Methodist Church on Sun day. The subject for the morning will be, “The Covenant Renewed ” mid for the evening, “Flee for thy Life.” A large colored camp meeting was held in Florence on Sunday last. Ibis town was nearly de serted by its colored population on that day as large numbers of that race left here to attend the meet ing. The date upon which the Wren Comedy Company will give an en tertaiument at this place has been changed from Friday November flth to Thursday November 8th Persons looking forward to the coming of this famous company should bear iu mind the change of date. Evert week the hill leading down to Swilt Creek is the scone of some accident. On Monday a horse driven in a wagon by Capt. W. E. Charles, became frightened and ran away, turning the wagon over on Capt. Charles. The Cap tain was not seriously hurt, how ever. A PARTIAL and hasty canvass of the town on Monday last brought in a fair amount for the Democra tic campaign fund. More systema tic efforts will be made to iucicase this lund and it is hoped that Dnr lingtou wid not be behind her sis ter Carolina towns in this matter of financially aiding the party. Gen. M. A Stovall, general eom- tuaudiug the encampment review and sham battle to take place at the Augusta Exposition, on No vember the 12th, 13th and 14th, has requested Capt. C. S. Nettles to serve on that occasion on bis personal staff. This is a compiU mem well merited by the genial Captain. We call the attention of oar read eis to the advertisement of Mr. M. E. Conder which appeals iu this issue. My. Cornier who was formerly a resident of this town is now pro pnetor of a large and successful feed sale and livery establishment in Columbia. Mr. Conder is well known for bis attention and polite ness to his patrons and any one having occasion to wish anything tu his line at the Capital Cry should call on him. A Ladies’ Restaurant Innovations are being constantly ntrodnced iniu Darlington, and the latest is a ladies’ restaurant, ihe well known caterer Geo. Webb whose reputation lor providing for “the inner man,” is widespread has erected an annex to his restaurant. This he has fitted up in the most improved style, and propose^ to use it as au apartment where la dies may partake of refreshments, dinner, etc., which he is now ever ready to serve them. If the ladifs will patronize this new establish ment they will find every thing ex actly to their taste. M ilful Desecration. It does seem that the world will never become so civilized as to be entirely free from wilful desecra tion The Pine Grove Church near Timmonsville, is now the sufferer at the bands of the wanton de stroyer of public pioperly. For some time past pistol shots have Ijeen fired through the door of the Church by person or persons un- known, considerably damaging both the interior and the exterior ol the edifice. Such conduct is strongly to be condemned and the pity is that the sneak perpetrating this offence is not iu the hands of the law that punishment befitting such cowardly behavior might be meeted out to him. Supervisors of Election. The following D-moor a tic super visors of election for Darlington County were appointed in the Uni ted States Circuit Court Monday upon the recommendation of Chief Supervisor Poinier: D. S. McCullough, W. C. Rose, J. B White, L. W. King, H. T. Haillee, G. B. Scarboro, J. L Wilson, J. R. Lawrcuce, N. L. Harrell, J. J. Law- ton, R. B. King, J. M. Gardner, 0. T. Hayuie.

Waddell, Z. W. Wines, H D. Poole, Henry Martin. A Church Entertainment. An entertainment will be given by the ladies of Black Creek Church at the Parsonage at Dovesville on Tuesday evening, October 30tb. ^ H this entertainment a hot supper, J Aster*, etc., will be served, and as the cause for which it is given is worthy of every attention it is earn estly hoped that the entertainment will be liberally patronized. The public are earnestly invited to at tend. regarded the pr b before the front entrance of th< Court House as a way, and as rmisaion bad not been given legi y to the d feudant to erect the s id, Ordinance 23 would hold go in this instance and he thereto held ibe defend ant guiltv of dating said ordi nance. Keith is then fined. The 11 Fair. The Eighteen Annual Fair of the Darlingtoilgricultaral 4 Me chanical Fair ( ropany began yes terday. As y« however, it is im possible to pn ct in regard to (he success of the ,ir, as, at the time of this writing he exhibits have by no means b i placed in position. Every thing a it the Fair is bust ling with p-ep Ulons for the occa sion. A hast; glance over the va rious exhibit show a promise of one of the m successful Fairs ever In Id hert In the fieidTop department the number of ex dts are still small but some vt* flue hpecimeus of turnips, peai s, rough rice and peavine hay e to be seen. The vegetable de[ tment is very fine, magnificent uuiuoth coliard.s be ing the specii feature. The house hold departn t, A and O, con sisting of Iter, breads, etc., though yet ii mplete, give prom ise of an exm iugly good exhibi tion. The d iitmeut B, consist ing of preser , etc., is very full. In the line domestic manufac tures the exh ts are very small. .The flue art < i hi tion is very good and the oxhi ion of ueedie and fancy work if erhaps the bo-t iu the building, ['he entries for the stock and poky exhibits are large and exceptio ly good. A full res port of the r will be given in the next isan f The News. The “Old War Horse” will Come. In response to an invitation from the Darlington CouiUy Fair Asso ciation, Senator Hampton has con sented to attend, it possible, the Eairtoday. It he comes he will niake a speech at the grounds this morning. The invitation was also extended to Senator Gray and oth ers and it is very probable that they will be hero. Sbonld it be possible for Senator Hampton to be present Bocb a reception will bo given him as has not been witnessed in the Pee Dee country since the stirring times of 76, when the old warrior redeem ed the State from the misrule of ig norance. His comrades in war, and those who followed h m in the ,Mvolation twelve years ago, the women of Darlington and in fact every one, will heartily welcome ^tf’fnoblest Roman ot them all,” aKie queen city of the Pee Dee. Wbe^kuiator Hampton visits Dar- lingronhe will find the doors of her hospitable people always wide open to receive him. It is sincerely hop ed tnat the Senator will be with ns to-day. A Tragic Death- News has readied here of the tragic death of Dr. 0. K. Gregg, sou of Bishop Gregg of Texas and one of the foremost physicians of that State. His death took place at McKinney, Texas, and the occur rence is made doubly s-.d by the fact that Dr Gregg came to his death by his own hand. He shot himselt tinough the head on the night of the 16tb inst., and died iu a few minutes. It is supposed that the deed was done while the unfor tunate man was suffering from the ef fects of cocaine. It is not known whether the d< ceased was addicted to the cocaine habit or whether he was expeiimouliug with the drug on his own body. The evidence, however, goi-s to substantiate the latter theory. Dr. Giegg had cull ed on his affianced shortly before the sad ev.-n' but wb.-n last seen nothing unusual ab- ut h :;i wa* noticed. The deceased \va» a high ly educated man and gave great promise to take a high place iu his chosen profession. His father, the distinguished Bishop Gregg, is a native of Darlington County and is well known hero as the author of “Gregg’s Hist»r\ of the Old Cheraws.” The Bishop’s many relatives in this Comity au-i those, who knew him well tadbre le* let' his native home for the far West, will receive this intelligence of the sad end of his promising sou with gt uniue regrot. The heartfelt sym pathy of all are with the bereaved taimly. ^ Au Interesting 'Joso. Quite an interesting case which affects the jurisdiction of the town authorities over the property of the County, was brought before the Mayor’s Court on Saturday last. Robe t Keith, colored, who bad erected a fruit stand on the porch iu iront of the Court House, was charged with violation of Or dinance 23 of the Town Ordinances which forbids any person or per sons from erecting any table or stand in any square or stree', ex cept the Market Square, for the purpose of exposing any commod ity for sale ; or for any purpose, ex cept by the express permission of the Council. The defendant was represented by R. M • Boyd, Esq., and the town by E. O. \Y oods, Esq. The counsel for the defence claimed that Keith had obtained permission to erect his stand frooi the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners and also fiom th Olerkjof the Court, who by law las charge cf the Court House and that the town had no jurisdiction in the matter. On the other hand the attorney for the town asserted that legal permission bad not been given Keith to erect the stand iu as much as the law allows the County Commissioners to authorize the sale or leasing of any real estate belong ing te such County, provided the sale or leasing of real estate be ic commended by the grand jury ot such coonty and receive the sane tion of the Circuit Judge, neither had been com on the 26th had refres with dome: left Society qaanvl spri Murdock an a set too du dock drew ran, Murdot The ' minal Court. The Fail 11 of the Court of General Seims began in the Conrt Houst i Monday raoringat ten o’clock, Ige Aldrich presid ing. The first < > called for trial was State agaim John Murdock and State again Svander Gainey for aggravated ault ami battery. As both of the!- cases grew out of same state i acts they were tried together. ] isrs. Ward & Woods appeared I the defendants. It seems that defendants w itb a number of iers were returning Irom Societ till where they had been attend a Trial Justice Court ast April. The party •‘the inner man” wine before they II. On the road a up iu which John i J. A. Barfield had of which provisos plied with in the present case, am -— -ri--- furthermore that, as tho-defeudant of the defejits, Joaeth James, this decision of the Coart waot'ir- Urel) onexjMrcted «'i» his part and he was unprepared forll and would tin r*-fore move a continuance of the whole case. His Honor then decided that as ihe Solicitor was not prepared to proceed with the case that he would continue ihe same until the next term of the Conrt of General Sessions. Thus the case of the State against Joseph James, Lewis Williams and Wil liam Scott was disposed of for this term of the Court, and it"remains to be seen what the next Term will do with the whole matter. After t'le dispo-al of the same case the Solicitor took up the case ot the State against King Cato for aggravated assault and battery. The te-sfiiuony adduced on the part of the State showed that the de fend in King Cato had most ttn- meicifully beaten his own chi d, a bo.\ - bout eleven j cars old. The sears produced by thebeuliag wi-re yet | lately to be seen. The d«- fondant had no counsel an-l in his incoherent and rambling statements to the jury materially assiste I them iu coming to their conclusion, which they promptly did by bring iug In a verdict ot guilty. The case of the State agdust Solomau Belch was n.*xt tried. The offence*charged being malicious trespass. The trespass consisted in entering the lands of James Fields and hauling therefrom sev eral sticks of timber. The detond- ant was not present but it being ! a misdemeanor the case was tried i in his absence. The verdict was gmlty. On the reassembling of Couit on Wednesday the case of the State against Tiros. Sessions and Ti os. Richardson for aggravated assault and battery and resisting arrest came up for trial. It will be retnembeied hat the de fendants are the negro “hoodoo” Doctors who while selling their quaek medicines last summer got into a row and assaulted the mar shall who attempted to arrest them. They were not represented by a counsel and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The next case tried was the State against Watson Alston for obtaining goods under false pre tences. The jury brought in a ver dict of guilty with recommenda tion to mercy. The defendant was represented by J. E. Nettles, Esq. As we go to press the case ot the State against O. H. Ellis for ass sault and battery and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature is being tried. The result of this and the remainder of the cases will be repotted later. —We have a weekly portable beef in irket conducted by Mr. J. B. Fea:ce.

Not infrequently we see some poor horse or cow cruelly treated by per. sons kss worthy of a soul than the animals they have tortured. It would bo well for our law makers to make anoth»r effort iu th'S di* rection, making it the business ot some official, (we have them and to spare) to look after this class ot our fellow citizens who, no doubt, can tr.ic • their genealogy back to the founders of the Spanish Inqusi ion.

Mr. William Devlin received tue “mys terious box,” which, when opened, was found to contain a rag doll and some kindling wood.
