Mr. Cokt r connected bimaelf with tbe Welsh Neck Baptist Church io 1870, und iu 1876 was mairied to Mias Bailie Orifflu, a stater of Mr. B. M. Grifflu of Leavenawortb, and Dr. P. K.

The people ot Darlington who were opposed to having the Hartas ville Railroad tenniuau at this point made a great mistake* We said so at. the time the mattei was Brat discussed, and aa a la*t noft* of warning, before tbe new acbemc isootiauinmatrd, we ieel con-trained to maks the Htatemuut again. This a no “newspai ei* road ; ita or gaoiz* rs are meuot ent*rg\, brains and capital. It will not “end iu smoke” aa tio ino*t of the railroad eoteiptiaea whijb are projected in Sontb Caa> line in these days, but will ere long, just aa sure ua fate, be in fall operation in our midst. e have always argsed, that, since tbe people of the western | tort ion of tbe County insist on having a railroad, it would be best for oar interests if ws would offer them induoemeuts to tssko Darling ton a terminus. When tbe new line is opened, the people of ene of tbe moat important aections af tbe County will be afforded such facjl ides for reaching amatket place as they have never bad before. Why should we not endeavor to have Darlington aa that market f It would seem tbat tbe matter bad al ready gone too far for any change to be effteted, but for the last time, and with the sole view of advocat ing what seems to ua to be for the beat interests of Darlington, we would urge that a Anal effort be made to secure us the prize. The prqjcotors of ths enterprise have iu the past made the moat liberal pro position* to the Town; if it is not late, lat ua accept them. Will oot tbe citizens of Darlington move in this vital matter before it ie too late I COLORED EMIGRATION- Tbe latest story of colored emi gration to Arkansas comes from Union County. An influential ool ored man iu that neighborhood, in dnoed by tbe promise of a fee of five dollars for every «migrant whom he obtained, persuaded a number of colored frieads reo. ntly to ret oot for Arkansas. Some days ago many of the travelers re turned. hearing messages to the families of those who were foiced to remain in the West to the effect tnat they were wild to get back if tbe money necessary to purchase return tickets coaid only be raised for them. It was noticable tbat tbe ‘‘colored emigration agent” did not bimst if venture upon tbe delights of the Western country which be pictured to his gullible subjects, bnt remained in Sontb Carolina, which, to judge front bia sclflah conduct be knew to be, afttr all, tbe best country for his rroe—u fact which it did not take the un fortunate adventurers long to r< as lize for themselves after the bitter exi erieucea to which they were anb jected. This ia one of a aeries ot each oc currences which are to tie read about iu the newepa|»ors of the State almost every week in the year. Delnded by tbe talsehoods of nnpriucip ed ag uts the poor col ored people of Senth Carolina have, time after time, given op the live lihood which they were making to seek tbeir fortunes In tbe far West, la every instance the result has been tbe same; tbe nnfortnuatea, made wiser by a aad experience, return to paaa tbe remainder of their days among their friends, while those who nr* unable to bear the expeuae of the return trip are led to starve or to eke oat a miser able exieieoce among strangers in a foreign land. When will these unfortunate excursions cease t Tbe Booth is, after all, the very beet place In the eoaatiy for the colored man, aad It is for better that he •hoold earn aa hamble living sar- rounded by those among whom his lot io life has fallen. than that he THE NEW CLERK OF COURT- As will be seen from the proceed ings of tbe recent County Conven tion which are pnblitil.ed elsewhere, Mr. W. A. Parrott has been uoiun inated by the Democratic party.foj- the office ofClerk of tbe Court, and the Governor will probably appoint him witho'it delay. Tbougb quite a young man Mr. P. rrott is pecu liarly fitted to fill tbe posti ion lor which be has been selected in so flattering a maimer, bis term ot service having thoroughly famil iarized h;ru with all the duties ot the office. He is, moreover, a most exemplary gentleman iu every re spect, aud richly deserves (he hon ors which be has received. We feel sore that the Deni< ciatic p uty ot Darlington Coutuy Mill never have occasion to regret its action, for its choice baa certainly been a happy odh. From the past record of Mr. Parrott, we have uo hesi tancy in saying that his superior for the position ot CWk < f the Court is not to be fo ind within the borders of South Carolina. Dar lington has done herself honor in thus honoring one of her ounger sons. . \ _ The New States. (Frem thj New* and Courier.) The admission ot tonr new States into the Union in one year is withs out piecedeut iu tbe history of tbe country, and (be occurrence ol that event this year is therefore regard ed with an interval which is in pro portion to Ua important;**. The last of the thirteen original States to enter the Union was Rhode Island, which ratifled tbe Constitution on May 29, 1790. Tbo fit at new State received into tbe national family was Vermont, witch was admitted iu March 4, 1791. Tbe Act oi Congress admit ting Kentucky w ta passed, indeed, two weeks before the Act admit ting Vermont, but Kentucky md not become a fall fledged Hiate uu til Jane 1, 1792. Tenners*** was admitted in 1796, and tbe nation entered the current century, therefore, with sixteen States, la tbe two decades ending with 1820, seven new States were added ; in the two ending with 1840 three were add' d; in tbe i wo end ing with 1860 aevt-u were added, and in the two ending with 1880 five were added, tbe last of the list being Colorado, which was admit ted August l, 1876. Tbe whole number of States admitted after the ratifloati u ol tbe Constitution, ami up to the present year, was, tnerelore, tweutj-flve; and it is in teresting to note that only two of tbes , Florid < and Texas, were ac tually admitted iu tbe aams year, (1845,) although ths Acts of Con gress providing for tbe admission of Florida, Iowa and Texas were passed on two successive days in of Wsshiui Dakota and 1845. With the admission on, Montana, North Booth Dakota the Un is compared with that of Some of tbe other States, and ot some ot tbe C“nutries of the O d World.

Perhaps, however, the most im- piessive fact to the American mind, which baa become accustomed to continental magnitudes, is in the last statement to be made. Tbe latest addition to the Union is con siderably larger tbau tbe Union itself was when the Constitution was finaliy adopted by a>l of the thirteen original States, nearly an hundn d y ears ago. Pei haps it is most appropriate, alter all, and it isanrely most significant, (bat tbe name of tbe illustrious soldier aud statesman whose wise leadership established the American Union among the nations of tbe earth, and whose birth is celebrate.! to-day by tbe millions of desu-;i.dau s of tbo-e whom he led to victory, should be given to a great Stale which lies on the remotest western border of i he' Cqiitiueht’be const.* crated to liberty, and which enters on its career of statehood a full century after he had sheathed bis stainless sword forever. Tbe Cotton bVop of 1B88-89. (From ike Au^uet.i L'brouicle ) Iu the discussion over tbe cot ton ciop of 1888 uo account seems io have oe*.u taki-u of .hi- pio'oablo iLciea*e in ine pioport.ou ol Hut to si ed cot on »scomp.«ie i witu other ycuia. Mi. L. A. lUtisom, o. Uo* imubia, called a reporter’s attention to this. This is UMi.tlly estimated at uboni uuetbird, but tbe crop ol 1888, at least iu South Carolina, he says, appears to have givm a higher yield. The e arc various causes for this increase. The acieagv in (he Petcrkiu, Texas Wood aud (Jrosslau.l varie lies of coiloii has bteu rapidly in creasing annually. These varieties give trom 37 to 39 per ct ut ot lint, aud their general use last year h >s doubtless i.iieuten lue entire crop. The progressive farmers are uring lue best seed, the best ieirii zers, and improving iht ineibods ol fer tilization aud culiivaiiou ilctier machinery is used in ginning. New gins of tbe best patterns, run by steam, hate largely supplanted Ihe old horse gius ou the farms. These clean .the seed much closer, aud consequently increase the piopor- tiou of hut. Tuis is clearly proven by the smaller quantity ot -Miuters” obtained by oil mills in regiuuiug, •the decrease being vey consider able. A statement made by a farmer iu Aikeu Uouuly from his iecoid book show! that he produced la*t year tiiirtyoflve bales of cotton ou sixiy aerts, aud by actual weiguts his yield was thirty five pounds of hut to ono hundred pouuds of seed cotton. His crop was well culti vated, moderately lerlilized and oareluliy ban lied, ^uotner farm er io Mariboio County says tbat the yield iu that section was riint) live pouuds ot lint to one hundred pouuds ol seedjcotioo. He mui rb- ntes tbe increase to the use of com mercial lertihzers, tbe seasons, to better taruring and itnpiovetl varie ties of seed. Last vettr about 129,. U00 tons of fertilizers were used in South Carolina, tbe largest aim ant ever pat ou tbe (aims, and, course, the greatest part of K wap Qt-ed on oot ten. Tbeie is anot' er mutter that should be considered, for while it may not have increased tbe uain- her oi bales it increased tbe weights, and that oi coarse gave better re turns to (be larmers. Just as tbe crop was maturing tbe season* were tbe most antavorable lor many year*. The excessive ra'ns in August and September are well re membered. All cotton marketed early contained an auueanl naioaut of moisture aad Ihe lone by evnp orations was extraordinary. The milla bava extracted lean oil from tbe seed than io ordinary years, showing the effect ot premature opening of cotton and undeveloped seed. Cotton wan picked and pack ed wet and tbe weights of tbe bales wsrs of coarse increased. ed about 33,000 bales. How much of the increase io tbe yield of lint may be due to the diftVreut causes mentioned is au intei eating ques tion. Fiu>‘ watch r**p iiing, at Mason’s Jewtlry Store.
