CONGRATULATIONS ARE1.N ORDER At a recent meeting ot the Truss lees of the Uitrliiigtou . URtiied Schools, Mr. Pattersou Wardluw was elected Pi iucipal. The choice oi the Hoard was au admirable one; they could not have done better if they had bad the whole State to select from, and we believe that subsequent events will establish in a most decided mauutr tbe wisdom of their decision. Mr, Wardiaw is a native of Abbeville County, and came to Darlington m tbe fall of 1886 as principal of St. John’a Academy. During the year of bis service in that capacity, he gave evidence of being a man ot unusual taleut, a ripe scholar, and a pro fessional teacher of the raie-t abil ity. When elected to a position,in the Columbia Graded Schools, the Tmsteesof St. John’s Academy fere extremely loath to give him up, and did all in tbeir power to in- duoed him to remain with them. At that time, however, Darlington’s prospects of enjoying firat class educational facilities were far from encouraging, and there was not much to invite tbe interest of so uncommon an educationalist ns Mr. Wardiaw. Under the new regime, however, when the pro<<|>ectg for oar schools are of tbe brightest possible nature, it is but natural that Mr. Wardiaw should desire to return to a field where his earnest labors were so thoroughly appre ciated ; and it ia only natural that the Trustees should be eager lose cure bis services. During two years of experience in the Graded Schoo s of Columbia, be has gaiue 1 au ui sight into the o|ierations ot the ays- m which will be of inestimable advantage to him in his new posi tion, and be is, moreover, a man ot suflicient individuality of mind to adopt only such of those methods as his observation has shown him to be effective. Mr. Wardiaw spent three months of last year in B. rlin, where be studied tbe principles of the most approved German schools, and he will theretore bring with him to his new work * fund of ex perience which he has gleaned from the most perfect system of modem public sebcolsin the world. Judging irons the material of which our Board of Trustees is composed, we have always felttbaf tie Darlington Graded Schools would be a success; under the man agement cl Mr. Wardiaw we are confident that before many years have passed they will furuiMb a model for any ot the schools of tbe State, those of Charleston and Co lumbia not excepted. We say uo> hesitatingly that good public schools will do more towards build ing up the towu than any of the numerous enterprises which have been established daring tbe peat ten years. A new era of pros|>erity has dawned for Darlington, and our people are to be must heartily con gratulated. BALLOT BOX REFORM. As tbe resolt ol the unprecedent* ed frauds widish occurre 1 in tbe various States of tbe Uuion at tbe last Natioual election, a wholesome reaction has set iu, and some fifteen or twenty States immediate!^ begau to consider the subject of 'Htaffot box reform.” Stnuge to sav, the firat to pot this reform iota actual meat has been carried out. Tbe ■an wbo would receive a bribe would, of course, be capable of de- eeivinf him who gave it, aod by makiag it difficult to verify the fulfilment of tbe contract the wholesale system ot bribery which has been habitually practiced iu lud ana of late years would be vir tually extirminated. Uuiler the new Indiana law, none but officially priulrd ballots, mark ed on tbe back with the initials of the election clerk in writing, are to be used. . The voter prepares his ballot by going into a sepfffate co nparimeut, where only one is allowed at a time, and folds it so tbit nothing but the written ini tials of the clerk is visible. If he is de ected showing his ballot to any one after he has prepared it, he is not allowed io deposit it. No electioneering is to be permitted within fifty feet of a polling place, and the voter is not allowed to place on hisba lot any private maik by which it may bs distinguished after it has been cast. Mauy other safeguauls are employed, uud the penalties for the violation of the law are very heavy. The uew Ac., goes iu to effect in June, 1880. It properly operated, will effectually obliterates the evil which has So disgraced tho ‘•lloosiei” State. THE ALLIANCE TO THEJIESCUE! It seems that the detested ‘‘Jute Hugging Trust” is being orgauiz -d, and that if some decisive action i.a not taken the farmers will be at {he mercy ot this grinding L.ouppoly again comiug season. The one sub stitute thus far suggested which admits of anything like a practical solution of the difficulty is the bag ging m ide irom pine straw, uud aa theie is but oue small mill now manufacturing the article (that at Wilmington, N U.,) the ouly rem edy is lor the farmers to. band them elv«a together aud establish other factories. The Alliance is just such au organization as can bring the business to a sac essfut issue. Powerful and wealthy as tbe Nstioual Order is, it could eas ily circumvent these coM-blooded capitalists if it will only go about the matter in tbe right way, ns we believe it will do. The eyes of the Nation are turned upon the Alliance iu this emergency, and there is every reasou to hojie that “our trust” will uot be in vain. The denouement will be watched with iuteiiss interest by the people of the entire South. A Chance to Become A Naval Officer As wi I be seen from the follow ing communication just n-ceived there ia a vacancy at Anuapolia: Navy Depastmrnt. ) Washington, March, 18, ’89. j Sir—The Naval Cadet now chaigidto tbedisliict represent ed by you in Congress will complete his six years’ course iu May next, aud the distiict will theu become vacant.

The pay of a Cadet ia Will the Farmers be Caught Napping Again? (Atloais Coasliiutioa March 23.) “What do you know about the bagging sopply tor t he fall of 1888?” waa asked of Oommissioeer Hen derson yesterday. ^Absolutely nothing.” “Have you made any inquiry about it f” ‘•1 have inquired of every oue coojiug into the nffic<- likely t • give any information, slid, besides, 1 have written two letters to the Acme Manufacturing Company, at Wiimiiigiou, N. C . and i fi >d all pailit-s either wholly ignorant or reticent as to whut is going on iu that Luc.” “Weil, what would you suggest be done under the ci.vumitances?” “It their atleutiou bus not been already called ih re'o it is im|»or tain,tu view of tin fact that they meet on the 4th of April, that the Alliance should take some steps at uucc cuuccruiug this matier. It would be disastrous should they be caught napping again, as was the case last fall.” “Doyou think it would be likely to be worse for them than it was then V' “Of course I do. The combiui among the jute mauulnctuieis theu fufmeti will strengthen, uot weekeu by ag-*, aud instead ot paying feur teeu oents for bagging, the tanner may be driven to a large advance ou that exoibitaut price.” “Iu that event, what, IU >< at opinion, would be the remedy 1” “The ouly remedy 1 know of L for the organized farmers, through mills of tbeir own, to engage iu the manufacture of piue stiaw bag^iug, particularly if, alter investigation, it is found that sufficient capital is not already invested iu that now important branch of industry.” “Do you think nothing else could substituted for the piue stiaw T” » “Oh, yes, many other things would do quite as well, perhaps even better. You will probably re member tbe Odeubeimer cotton bagging, which was manufactured iu New Orleans last fall, was used tneu to the i-xteut of the mill’s ca pacity, which capacity waa only; about 15,000 yards per day. It wts theu considered a good sub stitute tor jut*, some even prefer ring it to jute. The Lanier mills, Mar West Point, manufactured a kind of duck, also made of cottou, which auswered a good purpose and was used to the extent ot tbe mill’s capacity, but both of these fabrics are sold at figures too high for the faruieis. 1 was told by au operator at the Augusta Exposition that they would be able to produce tbe piue straw baggiug at tight cents pei yaid. “Probably lor a new industry this might be considered a fair pi ice. Certainly prefeiable to jute at 14 ceata, or Odeubeimer at 12 oeuts. Again, unless something like the straw is used—which is fully up iu tbe mailer ol weight—a readjust ment ot the taie would be neces sary. “For thise two considerations, if no other, I lather leau to the use of the straw baggiug.” “What Mtnoaut ol this bagging would be uco-ssaty to clothe the cottou crop ot the S >utb !” “That queotioL is very easy to auHwer. A flowing six yards to tbe bale, it would take 30,01)0,000 y aids to clothe G,not),000 ot bale*, which is approximately the ciup of the South. The crop was larger last y ear by 1 000,000 of b les ” “You know then, of no other ma'eiial at the South of which bag ging could be made!’ “Oh, yes, a number of them. The Spanish magu. y, a sample oi which is now in my uffice, affoids a fibre superior by tar to piue straw or evi-u jute. The banana leal is also superior, in my upi.ii >u, to jute, a .U i am told that either of these ar ticles can be produced at a very low figure, almost a nominal cost, A geuiiemau from the lower part of the State suggested during last fall that the saw palmetto from his sec tion would make a fine substitute foi jute, aud latterly, a gentleman while in this office Miggcsted Ber muda grass ns being equal to any emergency.” Th.

Suit for Damages to Horses. Mr. Charles A. McCafferty, tbe wellknown Texas horse dealer, now of Columbia, ha* brought suit, through his attorueys, John Me Master, Esq., and Messrs. Barron A Ray, of this city, against the Louioviile and Nashville Bailwey, for $750 damages.

A Lawless Judge-. (Th* Notion,) About a year ago Judge Pieden of St. Clair County, Mo., waa or- drred by the United States District Court to h vy, aa Conuty Judge, a a|*i'lal tax to pay the Interest on certsiu railroad bonds guaranteed by tbe county. This the Judge firmly relus* d or ui erly failed to do, and, having judicial knowledge of the coutequei.cea ol his refusal, krpt cut ol the way, so that when the marshal came after him with a warrant of arrest for contempt, he wh* nowhere to be iouud. For u whole year lire search for him was kept up, but la vaiu. lie was always warned by friends <f I he approach ut the officers of tho law. The device by which Le was fiually captured was probably one of tbe most inge.iious iu the history of poluica! sci -uce. The officers kce v him to be passionately fond of the chase, and i specially • 1 tbe lux cba'C; so they organized in au a 1 joining comity, uot in the Judge’* own, “a lox drive” on a great scale and udvciiit-ed it far and ueai.

S-rou as the fox had beeu found, aud the hounds were i i lull cry, aod the Judge’s mule was pressing close be bind thi m, tbe marshals rode up, having swilter steeds thin the mu e, and proposed to arrest him.

Every man knows w]jat high prices he is made to pay when he buys on credit. It is the same way with the merchant who buys his goods on four and six months time. He must pay more and consequently must sell for more; that is why we can undersell all competitors from 20 (o 25 per cent. Choose ye this day whom you you will serve. Your own in* terest, by buying from the man that is willing, and buys goods in such a w.xj that he is able to cut the prices down te a small and living profit, or to buy from the old 100 per cent, cut throat who never knows when he has piled the price high enough. We seek for that almighty dollar, and intend to have it, and in an honest and fair way. Not with 99 cents on the dollar, but by giving a full hundred cents’ worth for every dollar we get. In our store one man’s money is as good M another’s. No difference with us how much money you aae worth; whether it be |100 or $100,000, we give one price to all, and the man with his $1 bill will meet with the same cour tesy ai.d fairness as his neighbor will with his $100 bill. We believe that fair dealing low “ prices will win in the end On this principle we base our hopes and cordially invite the puhlic to call and inspect our goods and our way of doing bu* siness- Very rtcspcctftilly, A.
