Since the remova* of all the cot ton from tlie Square, a light diffi cult question has arisen a-* to where , the ut-xt season’s crop is to hr .-tow ed when brought to town. It is said that the Town Council will be petitioned to provide a suitable lot for that purpose at some point off the Squaie. The New Yoik Life Insurance Company was the Hist tr pay its premium on Mr. J N.

Owing to these circutns ances, the train on tha Cberaw & Darlington roa i did not reach this place tinul near ly four o’clock, aud at tint hour the passenger from Columbia had not yet arrived in Florence. The Mailb >ro Democrat states that the Goidoii K tics are being stimulated to a more systematic preparation for the coining inspec tion tty tbe fact that the Darling ton Guards are drilling avery day for the same purpose. It seems from this that the Guards have he reputation abroad of doing their duty in this direction, and we hope that it is deserved. The Annua 1 inspection is a very important mat ter and the Guards must hear tins fact in mind and roll up a full quo ta of mi u on the 29 h.

They Won’t Break Any More Street Lamps For sotm t ! me past it has been known that some oue was malicious ly breaking the street lamps iu the town, aud an investigation ou the part of the municipal authorities itd tc the conclusion that the mis- chet was bviug done by oue of the employees at the Factory, who had been fined 82 by the Mayor a short time ago, aud who took this method ol having his reveage. Tho trial came off ou Mouday uight, O. P. Dargau, Esq., appearing in behalf ot the defendant. He was found guilty aud was sentenced to pay an ogki't gate sum of 834 or be nu pi isoned lor 58 days. One of his accomplices was fiued 84 with the alternative ot eight days, aud still another had imposed upon him 85 or ten days. The attorney for the piincipul offence has given notice ol appeal, but the Mayor will pay no attention to it, as he alleges that his is a court ot last resort from which there is no appeal. What ever may be the outcome ot the aff.itr it is prettily geueraliy under stood that there Mill be no more street lamps broken for some time to come. C. C. Red to is still taking orders for Davis’ ’88, qnilter.

MoNeese, one ot the most prosperous young farmers in tbe County, died at his residence in the Swift Creek neighborhood on Saturday morning last at three c’c.ock, and was t uried at Swill Creek Baptist Church on Sun ta> morning at eleven o’clock. About four years ago Mr. McNeesc reoeiv ed a sun stroke, and his friends think that he u ver fully rec vered trom its effects. He has been in feeble healtti ever stuue, his end being hastened by dr. psy of the heart. Ho had beeu married lor several years to a daughter of Mr. B. F. James; the widow, u lio is bur nineteen year- old, aud three little children, survive him. Mr. McN« ese was about 36 years of age, and had just nude a fine start iu the world. He was a model farmer, and n as u akiug a good income at the tune of bis death. The deceased was one of tbe most popular young meu in the whole County about 500 persona attend- iug the fnneral on Sunday. We can ill afford to lose such men, and we unite with his immediate circle of friends iu regretting mostsinceie ly his uHimely end. The Darlington Guards. At. interesting meeting of the Dailingtou Guards was held last week. An order from the Adjutant General was read, stating that the annual inspection ou the 29th inst. would he more rigid than hereto fore. The trip to the centennial celebration iu New Yoik iu April was discuss d, ami it was decided to make n effhit to form a com- pau> lor the occasion from the com panies in tbe 4th Regimeut.Some ot the Guaids desire to go, i nd it is hoped that the scheme will meet with success. The resignation of 2ud Sergt. J E. Normeut was ac cepted with great reluctance; he has been a most valuable u. ember of the Guards since the;r reorgaui zatiou in 1882. Sergt. R. E. James was appoint) d to fill the vacancy ; Mr. P. S. Wilds was ap, united 5th Sergt, and Messrs. L. G. McCall aud E. F. McCu'lough, corporals. The company decided to get white leggings iu time lore the inspection. A pleasant featiihc of the meet- i ig wa- the adoption of a lesolutiou io place private C D. Evans upon ihebouoiar) roll, with all fiiepnv* tlegis ot the active members, iu recognition ot the fact that he is the veterau im tuber of the com pany. A resolution was also warm ly adopted to p.eseiit Private Evans with a Suivivoi’a badge, iu testimony of his service as a soldier in th - late war, he having been a sergeant in Company F. 8tb S. C. Regiment. Uisiecord iiitheGuaids is it keeping with that ot Company F., aud th.- action of the company is timely as it shows that they ap predate faithful service, both in the past aud present. The badge will be formerly pieseuted to Mr. Evans hy General Jameson the day of the annual iuep< ction. Don’t buy a go'd watch uu ii you have examined those at Mason’s Jew* Irv Store. ISenteuce Day- Thursday morn ug la-t was sou tence day in tbe Court of General Sesoions, aud Joe James aud Low is Williams, convicted of the mur der ot old man James, were brought before Judge Pressley. The ius diet men t and the verdict of the jury were first read to Lewis Wil liitins, and when asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed u|N)n ‘him, his coun-el, Mr E. O. Woods, gave notice that he would apply <o the Supreme Court tor a new trial in behalf oi his .client. The Judge said to Williams: You were hired to kill a mau for the pitilul sum of two hundred dol lars aud you did not get that. Whether you fired tbe guu or were only present ou tbe Watcb, the law sa s that yo.. aie equally guilty aud the blo>d ol that old mau isou your soul. 1 believe the verdict iu your case is a just oue. I would not if 1 eould hurt a hair of your head. After (be sentence which tbe Court shall pass upon you there is auotber trial before you at which there will be no need of witnesses. Tbe old man whom you killed will be there. 1 kuow not how those books are kepf, but I have long thought that tbe atus which men l commit are written ou their con sciences. My belief is that each j man carries fie leaves of Go I’s ! hook iu his own hos m, and loaf j every ciime f hat ho eommita is in- ! mediate)* printed on Inr cmiacieime. God who saw y. it no (his doed knows it now aud he ha- a memory that never forgets. 1 do not kuow that anything that i can say can help you now. I have but little faith iu death-bed repentance whic.i are often tbe result of fe r and not of love, but I would warn you tq make use of the time allotted you here in preparing lor that trial. The sentence of the Court was then passed to the eftVct that Wil liams be taken to M-nlboro jail, and that he hchiou^h* fiom thence to Darlingtou on Fruity, the 21st of June, a d hanged between the hours ol ten iu the toreuoou and two in the atrermn-u Williams teceivnl be sentence with eompo sure, though he was evidently very ueivous Joe James was told to stand up, and the indictuu ut aud virdict having b.-cu read to him, Mr. E. Keitli Daigau give the some no lice iu regard to a new trial or his client as had been given by Wil liam-.’attorney. The Judge then said: You lio.ird what I said to Lewis Williams. I Say the same to you. You too, must stand hi the (tar Ol God aud your aged father will he there also; you will know him and he w ill know you. Some people do not believe this, but we have Bible authority tor it. Did uat Moses aud Elias meet with the b!e*.-ed Savior on the mount, and were they not associated together and did they not kuow each othei T I do not know how your lather wid meet you then, whether as an accu*> ser or whether he will stand hy your side as he did during all the years iu which this crime was planned and talked about ' Man’s body and soul are so united as to form what we call man. One na ture aud the same laws which gov ern one govern the other. As you cannot dash your bead agaiut a stonewall without receiving a wound which will leave its seal,so you cannot break the laws of God without leaving a scar U|>oii your soul, and so by every continuance in crime you may so harden y our conscience that you oau scarcely kuow what crime is. If we violate the laws of nature our bodies must pay the penalty, so also a violation of the laws of God must bring hurt to our souls. 1 do uot kuow wheth er this b« your case or not. As 1 said io Lewis Williams, 1 do not know that 1 can now Jo you an* good. Before God and mau 1 say 1 would net hurt a hair of your b< ad if 1 had any choice in the mat ter, but 1 would warn you to pie- pare for that final trial. God is all merciful, aud all sin* may be wash ed out through the biojd ot um Savior. The dignified Jud.e rendered the ceremony a most solemn one, and at tin es, so comidete was Hie si lence in the Court loom, uot with standing the large crowd pre-cut, that the intervals between his pe riods weiealmost oppressive. When he first appeared iu the court house, James was ev deutly. ill at e;se; the muscles of his face twitched, his eyes roamed about tbe room rest less! v, and from time to time pass ml his h md with a nerv. us gesture ov*r his face, His general appear ance had been materially effected by ihe few days which bad inter., vened since the announcement ol the verdict. When ou trial he was neatly dressed, hut be had evident ly forgotten his customer? care for his person, and he looked tiaggard and iinkept. When his turn came to rise, however, he had recovered his composure, and th- sentence of the Court was received with bis nsu d calm aud stolid expres-i >n of c unteuance His sentence was the same as that which bad beeu imposed upon Williams, except that Janies is to be imprisoned iu the Marion j dl. Iu delivering the sentences the Judge made the mistake of ap pointing “Friday, June 22” as the day, bat bis attention having t een called to the fact that Friday was ou tbe 21st, he had the piisouers brought back from the jail aud re- senteuccd them immediately. Tbe Sheriff' left for Marlon that aften oou with James, and Wils iHams was carried to Beiiuettsville onSatuid iy. William Scot', who turned Stale’s evidence, has been sent to the jail of Williamsburg County at Kingstree. it is custo mary in cases of this kind to re lieve the prisoner from the penal ties of bis crime, but nothing defin ite has beeu determined about Scott as yet, aud the Solicitor has not fronted me case against him. Robert H. Ad ims, white, con victed of selling pro|»erty under a lieu, was sentenced to pay a fine of 8209, or be imprisoued iu tbe Mar. iou jail tor six mouths. The Judge lectured him sharply, aud iroor Adams pulled nervously at his handsome dr> oping moustache. He seemed to be uuder the impression that tbe Judge would order him executed “out of hand” aud plead earnestly that the Court would deal lightly with him. When the seutence was announced, Adams gave a long sigh ot relief, said very fervently, “Tbauk you, Judice,”anil sat dowu amidst the laughter of the spectators. The other prisoners, all colored, were sentenced to the peuiteniiary as follows: Sam Kay, privily steal ing from the person, five years; Caleb Ligbtly, grand larceny, two years; William Gee, burglary and larceny, two years; William Swee ney, grand larceny, two years; Ab ner Wingate, larceny of live stock, one year; Sandy Blakeley, assault with intent to kill and carrying concealed weipotis, six uicrhs; Wilkins How-aid and Wallace Brown, gran I laro-ny, twelve months each ; Alien Green aud Bill Young, high-ray robbery, lh-* torm er tour xnillhe (alter two * t Hr .
