AUoa Tb York, baa received l -SS-H ter will OUR DEPOT ACCOMMODATIONS. It is a Tact much commented upon of late tbat tbe accommodations for paHaengers and freight at tbe Darliugtou depot are poorer than those of any station on this line of road. Tbe wailing rooms for pas sengers are utterly inadequate to the purposes for which they were intended, and when it is consider ed tbat they are far inferior to those at Doves and Society Hill, it is not to be wondered at that com- ment is attracted thereby. The space provided for storing freight is much too limited, and tbe build, ing itself is a badly constructed old shell which would be totally de stroyed with all its contents from tbe slightest spark. The danger from this source is by no means to be ligbtly considered, for in addi tion to its immediate proximity to passing engines, there have been several steam enterprises erected in tbe vicinity during the past year. Tbe depot is in fact tbe centre of a nest of ligbtwoud frame buildings, and with the rapidity with which others are being constructed, aod the compact manner in which they are being huddled together, it would seem that the railroad au thorities would be alive to tbe im portance of providing as far as pos sible against a catastrophe. Tbe portion ot the building set apart as offices for the employees of the road are decidedly tbe most nueomfort able and badly arranged business headquarters which we have seen (u many a day. Nothing short of a brick building several hundred feet long, with a slate roof, would meet the requiremeuts of the situ ation, and we believe that if the matter ia brought to tbe attention of the railroad authorities in the proper spirit they Will accede to our moderate demands. In the amount of traffic, the Dar liugtou station compares favorably with Sumter any mouth iu the year, and with the exception of that town, it ia certainly the most im portant point iu tbe State east of Columbia, it being one of tbs lar gest cotton markets in South Caro lina. Comparisons of any kin 1 are objectionable, but we feel perfectly confident tbat it anyone iuteiested iu tbe matter would follow out the line of thought which we have sug gested, he would flud tbat our cu elusions are correct iu every par ticular. ▲t the last term of the Circoit Court the Grand Jury asked that the attention of the railroad com pany be called to the fact tbat its freight cars often obstructed tbe highway leading to Timmonsville. Tbe proper notice bas been given, and we feel satisfied that the com pany will be prompt in seeking a remedy for the evil, aa it has al ways been when similar requests have been preferred. Bat we fesr that however good its ioteniiona, it will be fonnd difficult to put this much ueeded reform into execution for the simple reason tbat tbe de pot ia situated in tbe wrong place, constructed as it is immediately on tbe highway. If our anggestion in regard to the erection of a new des pot should be received with favor, this would be an excellent oppor tuuity to put an end to tbe block; ading of tbe highway with freight oars by moving tbe depot some dis tance to the north of its present site. The railroad company owns any quantity of land In that vicin ity, and if the depot were placed at some point between tbe highway leading to Timmonsville and the one to Hartsville, (be difficulty ab.v. mentioned wonld be effectu- slly terminat'd. Wi- muM not I'e understood as making any com plaint against the railioad company. We are not of that class wbicli is given to ciy down cor{)oralioiiH or to ciiticize tbeir actioi s cnutinnully simply because they are corporations. Tbe Atlantic Coast iJne bas done a gn at d< al for tLe I’ee Dt*e section, and bas been lib*-nil in all its pub lic conduct. Differing from most corporations in this particular, it bas been out observation tint it has always had a due regard for the welfare of tbe peopl-*, and we aie grateful for it. It has bei-n the invariable custom of tbe company iu the past to afford ns e-cry rea sonable ’CCommodaMou which was asked lor, and we can feel assortd that in this instance our pt-lilion will at least meet with respiciful and careful consideration. If we have suffered from lack of proper depot accommodations, the railroad company is in no way to blame, for the simple teascu tbat it was not made acquainted with our ue< ds. No word ot complaint has reached tbe authorities, and they are not to know but tbat we are abundant ly satisfied* It wonld be quixotic in tbe extreme if they shonld under take to give us luxuries, and as we appear to bq content, it is to be presumed that nil our wants are provided for. .— Darliugtou is making every effort to keep abreast of tbe times. New entepri^es are being organized every day, all of which coutribnte more or less directly to the income of the road, and Atlantic Coast Line is progressive enough to make a good investment by (< helpiug those who help themselves.” There are hundreds of capitalists who pass np and down tbe Cberaw and Dar lington railroad every month, and who naturally gather their impres sions of the town from what they see at the depot. After all tbe no ble efforts which oar people have made, they believe that this im pression is h most nnjnst one, and we are convinced tbat our friends of the Atlantia Coast Li te will do all in their power to assist ns in removing it. The citizens of Dai ling) on have come to the conclusion ibat this is a matter of no small importance, and they have decided ton quest an investigation into it, feeling as sured that it such an investigation is made, they will by acotber sea son be supplied with all the con veniences befitting a station tbe size and impoitan^e ot Darlington. With a view to putting the matter in proper shape, and preparing a petition to the Atlantic Coast Line, a mass meeting has been called at tbe Court House for tonight (Thursday,) and it is hop. d that the attendance aod the interest manifested will be in proportion to the importance qf the subject under cousideratiou. One More Year ot Power. (From the New York Tidies.) The Jute Bagging Tmst people are evidently intending to run things with a high hand this year. Last year they contiolled the pro duct pretty well, but thej bad ueg- leciod to secure all the jute butts in tbe market, and the result was that prices did not go higner than about 12 cents a yaid. Another cause for this waa piobably tbe effort made to find suitable subs'ilut'/t for jute. These efforts were 0;(ly paitiaby success ul, tor ot all the substitutes offered only two were found to be of use—pine straw bag ging and a coarse cotton dolb. The cotton pioduceis, however, did not take very kindly tothe lat ter, because it lacked in weight. Pine bagging was rather more suc cessful, though it does not begin to possess tbe weight ot juie, and cot ton mill men prefer the latter be cause they cau resell it to the paper manufacturers. Couoj men say it does not pay to use pine bagging a hen jute la a tittle less than 12 ceuts in price, and even if it did the demaud can not begin to be supplied this year. Recognizing the latter fact, aud knowing that new mills lor the mauulaclnre of jute bagging are being eoustrueted and will he ready to begiu operations by next winter, the trust people have arrived at tbe conuiusiou tbat this year may be the laai, tor e^me lime at least, when they will have the oppor tunity of controlling the market, and have resolved to squeeze the cotton producers just as much as possible. There ate five mills this year which have not entered into the ootubinatiou, at least it is ao claim ed by those lavoiable to She trust. These are the New Orleans, Loais ville, Galveston, Columbus, and Ludlow mills. The New Orleans mill is said to he a very small con cern, and it is claimed that the out put of the Louisville and Columbus mills is not large. The Galveston mill is not fitted with th« proper machinery, and is not a large con cern any way. The Lndlow mill is very large and has a plentiful sup ply of jute butts on hand, ao it is prepared to oppose tbe com Uinatiou if it chooses to do so. It ia claimed, however, that thos - interested iu this concern, while they have thus tar declined t > enter the combinas tion, are in full sympathy With it. When the trust peop’e got control of the market last yvnr they leesed unity small mills for two years, and it is believed the owners will not consent to a renew al of theae h as«-8, roihetinst will be bound to fall to pieces at the close ol ibisses-iou, it II does not coil.ipse b< fore. The people of North Carolina were raoie biiterly opposed last year to the dust than tho>e of any other State. Sev« n million old bags were sent to North Carolina from New York cny alon«*, one dealer having shippid as many as 500,000 old sugar, grain aud potato bags—any thing that had weight to it—and tbe prices of old bags lose from 7 and 712 cents to 10 and 1012 cents, tbe pro aicers being willing to pay almost as mrch tor old us for new bagging tatber than buy ot the trust at its prices. The Ludlow mill had contracted for its product early in the season last year, and at very low prices. This year its managers hope to make up as much of the loss as loesible. The Calcutta mill had also sold ahead and the imported utricle cannot be bandied any way- fur less than 12 cents, with the presen duties, so (he tru.-t people have nothing to tear from lb t source until they get the price up higher than it was last y ear, which, it is believed, they earnestly intend to do. The trust has also bought up all the jute butts it cquld lay bauds on, and if substitutes canuot be made to cat a much more imi>or- iant figure than they did last year, coltou dealers fear they will have to phy faucy prices for bagging ibis year. A few weeks ago jute bagging was selling for 8 cents per yard. It is now worth three quarters of a cent more. Tbe trust |»eople have been advising dealers uot to bay yet, as prices were going lower. It is just beginning to dawn on the- dealers that this is in tended as a blind; tbat it is tbe iutentsou to keep the trust's mo tires quiet as long as possible, by keeping prices at a moderate figure, aud to send rates up all at once late in the season, when it is too late to offer any serious opposition in the way of substitutes. Even those who are favorably inclined toward the trust admit that a com hiiiatiou lias been formed, and that it cau lie run under favorable au spices this year, ard that tbe pro duct of ad tha mills is pretty well controlled. They do not fear any serious opposition from snbstirates. but they say it is rot the intention to pnt ihe price np higher than 9 to 10 cents a ya d Cotton dealers who have inlt-nats iu the Boatb however, do not Inhere that the combination will be content to ask eu\ su-h moderate price. It prac ticaDy controls rhe product of al the mills of the country, >.bout 25 in numb r, ai d it is quite firmly believed that the prices will uot be less than they were iast year, but rather more, it no serious opposi tion is ' ncouirered. Eight ceu’s is said to be a profit able price lor the maunfacture o;' the article, and the lo)g piie-soi 1887, when the ra'e was 6 ceuts, is wha’ led to t?ie corner Inst year. That is the lowest price jute bag giug lias ever been known to bring. In 1870 it sold for 33 cents, and from 1866 to 1873 the normal price was 18 to 20 cents. Since 1873 it has declim d, notil forrevqr.d years the normal price has been about 9 cents. A Gentile Formally Embraces the Jew ish Faith and is Re-Married.
