Tin* Had intelligence was received
in Darlington jeatenliy ot the
death of this estimable geutieiuau,
hich occutteti on Tuesday ninht
at bia home at Society Hill. No
Further particulars have as yet
wen received, but it is (bought
that the eud must have been sud
den ; for tbougb iu failing health
foi Kiine time past, Mr. Coker’s
condition bail never been regarded
>y bi> latuily aa critical.
The deceased was born near An
tioch, iu this County, in 1819, ao
tbat, at the time ot Ida death, he
was iu the seventieth year of bia
age. When quite a lad be began
lile aa a clerk in bis father’s store
at Society Hill, aud was afirrwards
admitted aa a paitner. H * anbaes
queuiiy became the junior partner
of the firm of 0. Coker k Bro.
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. Grifflu of Columbia. By
tbe exereiae of tbe manly qualities
with which he was eudowned by
oatare, Mr. Coker amassed a com
fortable fortune, and about the
time of bia marriage he retired from
busioeea, paaaing bis last days
quietly at bia life long home, aur
rounded by his frieoda and neigh
bora. Besides his wife a large num
her of relatives aurvive him, to all
of whom, together with a boat of
friends, the intelligence of bia death
will cause tbe u.oet heart felt sor
row.
Of a modest and retiiiog diapoai
tton, Mr. Coker rounded out the
u ‘ hree-atore and ten years'’’ o
hie useful life io an unassuming
manner, winning and retaining
throughout tbe unbounded cenfi
denoe and esteem of all with wheat
he came iu contact. Tbe very son
of honor, he truly represented the
highest type ot manhood. Bleaset
indeed are they who go to tbeir re
ward leaving behind them a blame

entire County unites with the im
mediate family in mourning the de
miseof this honorable, upright,
Christian gentlen au.
A GREAT MISTAKE.
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

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

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

State almost every week in the

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

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.

A comparison ot the new West
ern States with European countries
yields no less striking results
Without going into detail^ it is
enough to auy that the * combined
territory of these fonr States alone
is more than 50 per ceuw larger
than that of either France or G« r
many, aud is more than three times
larger than Great Britain and Ire
land, while Belgium, Denmark,
Greece, Netherlands; Servia, R<>u-
mania, and Switzerland together
do not eqaal the State ot Montana.
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

statesman whose wise leadership

among the nations of tbe earth, and
whose birth is celebrate.! to-day by

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.
