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.

ing six preachers. John A. Barre,
a local politician of some notoriety,
was tbe spokesman. He read a
paper addressed to Ihe Governor
and signed by the membera of tbe
committee, praying that a free par
don be granted the condemned men.
The petition stated tbat these men
were instigated to the crime by
others of more intelligence, who
have been smart enough to avoid
detection; that they both have
large and dependent families; that
they have already been confined in
jail for fifteen months, which was a
greater punishment than hod eyer
yet been inflicted on lynchers in
this State, althoogh tb# names of
hundreds of men who bsYe token
part in lynching are known to the
offleen of the law, and they, there
fore, asked a frill and free pardon.
