Tbe Election in Darlington.
Tbe election on Tuesday passed
off very quietly in Darlington.
' Barring the fact that all tbe stores
were closed, aud that business gen
erally waa suspended, there was
nothing to indicate that anything
uonsual was transpiring. The polls
opened at 6 A. M., and closed at
fl P. M. The vote in the Federal
box was as follows Cleveland ; 381,
Harriaon 56. In tbe State and,
congressional boxes the total vote
oust waa 356; there was very little
•entehiog, and every candidate
received almost a unanimous vote,
la the congressional box there w>s
found a registration certiAcate
which bad evidently been voted for
a ballot by mistake. •
The entire local interest in tbe
election centered in tbe result in
the several doubtAil States of tbe
North. The eagerness of our citi-
sens for news from those points
was only exceeded by their enter
prise, wbich enabled them to obtain
ell Um pens reports on Tuesday
eight. A large number gathered
in the Ooort House, where these
■pedal telegrams were received,
•od remained there until three
■Jriook od Wednesday morning.
The eommanity is greatly indebted
to Miss Onaond, the accommodating
operator, end to Mr. George Onslow,
for the very efficient service they

The Darlington Society for the Pre
vention ot Cruelty to Animals.
In response to the call a number
oi citizens, interested iu the move
ment to organ ze a Society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals at
this place; met in tne Town Hall,
last Friday night. Mayor Willcox
was called to the chair and Mr. R.
O. Galloway was requested to act
as Secretary. On motion of Mr. C.
S. Nettles the Association was or
ganized under the name of The
Darlington Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals. A con-
stitutiou aud by-laws were then
adopted. The Society next pro
ceeded with the election oi officers
which resulted as follows: Presi
dent^. C. Willcox; First Vice-
President, C. Alexander; Second
Vice-President, 0. S. McCullough;
Secretary, Waddy Thompson;
Treasurer, H. M. Willcox; Prose
cuting Attorney. C.8. Nettles; Fi

Board of Directors, J. C. Willcox,
ohait man, ex-officio; C. K. Rogers,
I. Leweutbal, C W. Milling aud W.
F. Early.
The application for a charter will
be Alcd iu a few days aud one hun
dred copies of the constitution and
by laws will be printed for distri
bution. The regular meetings of
the Society will be held quarter
ly, the next meeting to be on the
24th inst.
A Society so worthy of tbe com
meudatiou of all can not but suc
ceed, and the interest taken iu this
matter is a cause for congratula
tion. When it is known that a
well organized Society exist* for the
express purpose of protecting the
lower annuals, the iubamau and
cruel practices now often indulged
iu, will not in the future be so fre-
qqeut. .

The Corpse Interred.
The corpse of the Republican
party in Darlington County gave
its last kick ami expired here on
Saturday. Of the many who prom
ised to make funeral orations only
two were present, namely, E. M.
Braytou, of Columbia, aud W. N.
Taft, of Charleston. A lew of tbe
party’s beloved disciples of this
Connty were there as pall bearers,
conspicuous among whom may be
mentioned, Jordan Lang, E. H.
Deas aud Jack Smith. A crowd
of colored men and women, a little
over^three hundred in number, con
gregated to witness the sad cere
monies and to pay their last re
spects to the expiring corpse. All
seemed impressed with the solemn
obsequies and in loud lamentations
gave vent to tbeir grief over the
days of good stealing now long sine. 1
passed away. T. B. Johnson who
promised to be present telegraphed
trom Mayesville that “he had brok
en down on tbe way,”aud it is sup
posed that he had broken down,
overcome with grief for tbe sail de
mise of his party. The music ren
dered b.\ the band from Round “O”
plantation, was as the solemn strain
ot a fuueial march.
Tbe ceremonies were opened with
prayer by the Kev. Einuom 1 lx*ver,
of Dailiugtou, who invoked the
Divine blessing upon the words ot
the speakers and upon the people
assembled. Imploring that the
words spoken should last until
Resurrection Day and that God’s
people (those present) should be
led out of the w ilderuess aud be
raised up as shining lights.
E. H. Deas then brieA} address
ed the audience congratulating
them upon so large an attendance
of the banner County Republicans
who, if a fair count, etc., could be
had, would tdve Harrison and Mor
ton twenty-three hundred majority
iu Darlington County. He then
stated that law was ot no avail in
a government, likejthe one at pres
eut, reared iu blood and coutiuned
in possession by force and violence.
After continuing for a short time
iu the old hackuc\ed strain about
tbe rights of the colored man being
trampled under foot by the Demo
crats be moved that the meeting
be organized by th.* election of Jor
dan Lang, Chairman, and Edward
Lang, Secretary. Tbe motion was
carried aud these two thereupon
took charge of the corpse.
Tbe chairman then introduced
as tbe Arst oratot, E. M. Braytou,
who immediately lanuehed into a
violent torrent of abuse against tbe
Democratic party, charging it with
every crime known to man. He
laid great atiess upon the thorough
bred stock fiom which Harrison
sprung. Bravtou berated the Dem
ocrats especially ou account of the
registration aud eight box laws
To a casual listener it seemed as if
he believed had a coroner’s inquest
b« eo held over the dead body of (be
Republican party tbe verdict of |be
jury would have undoubtedly b en
(bat “the Republn an party iu this
State came to its d<-aih by tbe ryg
i'tration ami eight h<>x lows, ma
llipul ted ill tbe bauds of the
Democrats.” Tbe e was nothing
original in his speech ; only the old,
old charges of tiaud and iuiimtd -
tion. Consequently his remarks
were ranch more appreciated by
the audience than those ot W. N
Taft, who was next introduo, d by
Jack Stni*k. Jack said be knew
th.it Ins he:.reis wt iu thirs iug ioi
a taste of the I*\veets of life olid f.r
gratify tin ir de-ire, he wunit! iu
troduce the el quent law.'.er, of
Char estou, Gen. Talt. Tatt, from
a Republican standpoint, made au
excellent speech, but :t was far be
yond the comprehension of his au
dience. He began bis remarks by
comparing the personal characters
of tbe Presidential candidates, se
verely criticising Cleveland for al
lowing tbe substitute he hired tor
the war to die in poverty aud dis
tress, and contrasting this with the
war record of Harrison. He then
proceeded U> discuss the tariff ques
tion, bat not an iota of his argu-
meat could tbe negroes understand.
They were well pleased with the
idea of obtaining free whiskey aud
tree tobacco which they doubtless
considered more essential to their
bappiuess than free bread aud free
clothes. They soon tired of his
disquisition, however, aud by de
grees tbe crowd dwindled away.
During the course ot the pro
ceedings Deas rose and made a call
for mouey to defray the exiienses
incidental to a campaign. In ap-
K ulmg he remarked that be feit
e Napoleon when he came from
St. Helena, but as Na|>oleou
came from that Island ouly as a
corpse, many years old, it is not
dear whether Deas meant that he
himselt was a political corpse, or
his party was, or whether the pock
et books ot his audience were like
a corpse, dead broke. It is very
probable, however, that he referred
to ail three.
Taft aud Braytou after seeing
that tbe last remnant ot their cher
ished hopes was, as they tbonght,
decently interred, departed ou the
afternoou train for their respective
homes, aud tha Anal act of the par
ty’s checquered existence was
brought to a close.

The Presidential Election
As we go to pies* ou Wednesday

still in doubt, though 'he appear
ances are tar from blight for the
Democrats. It is susiccly possible
to hope tint Cleveland can be e ec-
ted without India a sud New York,
and both p> (ties are claiming each

tarns show that the Republican*
will iu all probability carry Indiana,
while the result in New York is .*o
close ss to give a fair promise of a
reixjtitiou of the condition in 1884.
In all respects ot her than the two
named, tbe election so tar as heard
from has been without any general
interest, each party ptobably
catryiugthe States which it bit*
heretofore woi . The doubt
ful States of New Jcisey aud
Connecticut have gone Democratic,
but, as we have said, they will not
be worth much yvithout New Yoik
and Indiana. We sincerely trust
that by the time this reaches our
leaders the Demcciatic prospects
will be brighter; they arc ceitaiu

CARP NOT POPULAR.
Aro Kmt
Th*jr Thrive Writ rnough, tmt
V«r> G* .-Ml to Eat.
When the government aomo years DffO
began the introduction of carp into thu
country » groat deni of interest was mani
fested In die project and all kinds of pre
dictions were indulged in. Carp |ionds
were constructed all over the country
and the immigrants took kindly to Amer
ican water. The prediction that tin
carp would do well iu this country was
soon realized, but tliere does nut Deem to
be much prospect of the realization of
the prediction that it will lie the future
food fish of this country. At any rate,
Jerseymen ore not taking kindly to eat
ing it. An attempt was made to intro
duce it Into the market at Paterson and
Uie price dropped to teu and eight cents
per pound, Uit the taste of the people was
more favorable to catfish and porgien,
and the carp were driven out of the
market. Those who ate them pro
nounced them wane than the American
sucker, and nobody seemed anxious for
a second trial. George Jackson, of Lit
tle Falls, was one of the first to catch the
carp fevar, and he has several ponds full
of the various kinds. One day lie killed
one weighing about four pounds. It
was prepared in various different ways,
and was found to be enough for a dozen
families. Carp boiled, stewed, fried and
fixed hi different other ways was passed
about the neighliurhood, but nobody
called for a second plato. Then aoma
one suggested that the proper way to eat
it was with port wiue sauce. The jury
returned a verdict without leaving tnefar
■eats that this was a good way to spoil
oort wine.
In the upper port of Passaic orarnty
there ware a number ot carp ponds. Obe
sight a freshet swept them sway and the
carp got into the river. Since that time
they hare multiplied mpAfly, and last
C large number* weighing about •
to thsee-quartere ot a pound were
caught. This year they are caught In
•till larger numbers, and the overage
weight has increased to over a pound,
and occasionally one weighing three or
four pounds is caught. They have been
weighing nx or seven pounds
but earn of this nias ore scarce.
The Passaic river, from the Morris
oountv line for several miles fftbtr way.
la a sluggish stream, admirobiy adapted
tor the growth of carp. This part « the
rivtr is now literally altvu with Ihrm,
and R takes but a short time to entoh a
large number. They will take a worm
like any oommaa fish, but Um largest
number ora cangltt on dough mixed with
cotton. Dnilod (vas ntakv a delirato bail,
and wton boiled string beans ore pro-
seated to them the curp fairly jump with
•Might.
After they are catight tlwy are gener
ally thrown itwny, fed to the cats or
need for manure. Very few ]»-<>plc un
dertake to sat tlietn. In •otno jtlisrcs tho
carp ore so thick Umt they can be sewn
at times by tlie hundred. Then again
they stir up the bottom hi search of bait,
and the water prutenta a muddy appear
ance for a considerable distance around.
In tills way Uto river is kept almost con
tinually stirred up. so that people living
alonp tho bonks ore complaining of the
quality of the drinking water.
What this man-clous increase in carp
is going to result in is a question that Is
troubling some people'. Other fish In
troduced Into waters where they do not
belong have frequently multiplied so rap-
k!1y as to die eff by the thousands for
want ot nourishment, and have thus
caused disease, their rotting carcasses
being exposed to tho action of tlie sun
and the water. If is feared that this will
be the case with tbs carp, and many of
tbe residents along the Passaic river are
talking about joining the Knownothing
party and putting nothing but American
fish on guard.
having (ricd tbe carp and
them wonting In gamy qualities,
concluded that their introduction would
bo a good thing for tho bass and pickerel,
wIk>, it was thought, would relish tlie
carp to feed upon. But tin) bass ore too
intensely American to luivo a tasto for
a i, and they let them severely alone
look for other food. Fishing for
bass and pickerel is just as good as it has
been for years, and the carp do not seem
to have interfered with tho food supnly
of other fish. Catching carp b a novelty
to an angler, but ho soon tires of it, and
the result b that they are being let alone,
and when caught by accident they are
generally thrown hack into tho water.

There are, of course, many degrees ot

As mi iliustnuion of progires in cen-
ti.U Aula it may bo monnouttl that while,
a few t ears ago, tho traveler was likely
to las killed by tlie natives, lie is now in
greater danger of being wn as lied up in a
railroad accident. A train on thcTrans-
CWpian read was upset a few weeks ago
near &:tmuivaiid ana five J mo pie killed.

One Way to Catah Monhoys.
A ruse mentioned as successful in the
cajiture of these imitative animals does
not, however, bear upon it tbe stump of
probability. Il consists of placing a basin
of strong salt water before a party of wild
monkeys. The ••sportsman” then retires
a coupt- of dc»*n yards, and, Imving
vidtd himself with a bimilar howl
mg pro-
of clear
water, iinveeds to rub it on ilia fooo and
eyes. His actions are closely followed
by tlie animals, with tho result that tho
strong brine no effectually blinds them
for the time that they may be easily
noosod and secured. Wo heard thin from
on old sailor who had seen it done.—

Ta Prevent Hallway Collision*.
An A astral ion is said to have designed
a truck to bo run before every train, at
an adjustable distance, by an electric
current transmitted from a dynamo on
the engine. If the track ootnes in col

S ires tubes, in which the current k> con-
acted, ana broken. The current U thus
broken, and at the mom momoot tbe
