From the notice of the Town an tborities which is published tlse- wheto, it will be fitenihut the tax es are now due, and that they must be paid before May 20tb. A pew more of the “Pigs in-the Clovei” puzzles are left at tbe Book Store; price fifteen cents each. If yon want one, now is your chance, before they aie all sold out. It is stated upon reliable authori ty that two of our citizens, whose names are withhel I for the present, will have shortly for the famous Oklahoma lands iu the West. A bridal couple «eut from D.tr button on Sunday last to take a tour to Florenc *, and one from Florence came to Darlington on that day f r the same purpose. The Jewish Feast ol the Pass- over began on Monday evening at sundown, and will last eight days. A number of the stores were closed on Tuesday in 'cousequeuee of it.

The members^hie re quested to take notice and be punc tual in their attendance. The stock < f Easter cards origi nally ordered for Hie Book Store having been pretty well exhausted last week, a stcoud supply of five aud ten cent cards have just been brought out. The lot is a beauti ful one; eall and see them. Mb. Nick Shepard aud Miss Theodo ia McLeod, who is employ ed by Mrs.-Ellis as a diess-rnaker, were married by the Rev. Mr. Rice rather unexpectedly on Snnday afternoon last, and left immediately thereafter tor Wilmington, N. It is probable that the wooden building now occupied by Mr. J. F. Early as a store will be torn down, and tbat two handsome brick stores, each 150 feet long aud twen ty five feet wide, will be erected on the same spot for his occupancy. Mb. A. J. Broom has just opened a beautiful supply of spring dress goods, aud they aie so attractively displayed in the front portion of his store, that they are bound to attract the attention and admira tion of tbe most heedless passer by. The caterpillar season has open ed, and the trees on tbe Square are covered with them. The Town Council should employ some one to burn them out before they com pletely stiip the trees of their beau tiful green foliage as they did last spring. THE Kingstree County Record says that Mr Henry Blackwell, of Darlington county, and Miss Fans nie Donatb,of th t place, were mar ried Tbnrsday evening, April 4th, by the Rev. J -S. Matlison, at tbe home of the bride’s lather in Kinga- tree. A ROUGH and tumble fight be tween a white mail and a darkey took place in front of Boyd’s drag store on Mouday afternoon. Tbe white man’s month came in contact witti a plough share which was on the spot, and his teeth got consid erabl.v tbe worst of it. As stated iu our issue of lust week, Mr. M. H. Simmons entered salt against tbe Town Oonncil of Camden because a limb fell from a tree in tbe streets of tbat town, and dislocated the index finger of bis right hand. The caae came np for trial last week, and Mr. Sim- JBona lost. The taxable property in the new School District of Darlington is estimated at 1850,000, and there are at least five bundled prison* iu the Disliict who pay a poll tax. From this it will It* (tern that the total revenue for the siipiioit if the schools amount to $5,000 per au- nura. The annual meeting of the South ern Baptist Convention will be held in Memphis on May 10th. The con gregation at this place have re quested tbe Rev Mr. Moore .to at tend, and have generously la sed a purse to betray his expenses. It is probable that Col. B. W. Edwards will also go as a delegate. A Georgia exchange s ivs that Hon. H. W J. Ham, Sam Veal and Major R. A. Bacon met recently by accident in a store at Rome. A good lo ( t to choose from truly, but we like Ham better thau all. aud so say all ihe Darlington people, to whom that clever and accomplished gentleman is very well known. As an evidence of the business which is done by the Darlington Ginning Milling, Fertilizer, and Warehouse Company, we would state that ll ey have pat I out 84,- 500 for freight during tbe season jnst closed, and the railroad com pany doesn’t charge by the length of the oousiguee’s name either. During the severe wind storm the other night, Mr. C. K. Rogers’ garden fence blew down and his cow managing to get in the enc'o- sure destroyed his entire garden which was in beautiful condition. Mr. Rogers always h is one of the brag gardens of tbe town, and his misfortune is therefore quite severe. The animal convention of the Young Men’s Christian association was held iu Greenville last week. Capt. W. H. Day, of Florence, was chosen president. Messrs. Z. T. Kershaw, of Florence, and Charles B. Smith, of Timmonsville, were appointed on important committees. Darlington was not represented at ail. . Mb. Henry Hen nig, whose store is now at the desirable stand at the south west corner of Pearle Street and the Public Square, has pur chased Mr. J. Rosenberg’s large stock of imported liqnors, and wishes the attention of the public called to the fact. He also carries a full line ol fancy groceries ; give him a cdl, at d you will be sure to find good bargains The lovers of ba«e ball in Dar lington ami its vicinity will be glad to know that Mr. Sam Matine has laid in a full so' ply of base ball goods of every description, and th.it he now has them on sale at his fat bet’s store on Pearle Str.ct. The boys uead not, therefore, send to cities for their supplies this season, foi they will find at Mamie’s balls, bats, masks, gloves, guides, Ac. The Brick Company have receiv ed a tuil supply of the most ap proved niaci.iiiery, au-l are cow ready to begin o|>erationa. In H d- diiion to tbeoidina v brick, they have a ma bine of enormous pr>s» Mute tor making the celebrated B iltiu-ore pressed bricks, some of which will be turned out at once for use or the front of the stores to be erected next to the Bank of Dar lington. We Ii ve had quite “a spell ol weather” lor a week past. A goodly supply of rain has fallen through out the county, and has greatly re- fre bed the vegelatdes aud growing cru|»s. The cold weather of the past few di.ys has been mi st unsea sonable, and grave fears were en tertained for the welfare of garden produce. If we can escape to-night witb< nt frost, however, the danger will be pretty well over. The entertainment already re ferred to in these columns which is to be given tor a chaiitable purpose an early day, will be a treat for our people to look forward to. In addition to a bright little drama which will be rendered, by our amateur talent, a novel drill is to be executed by some of the young ladies. The entertainment will take place early in May, the exact date to be given hereaiter. The attention of our readers is called to tbe advertisement of Misses. McCullough A Garvey, tbe ladies who have recently purchas ed Messrs. Edwards A Nirment’s millinery department, aud who will cootinne to coudnct tbe business at tbe old s’and. These ladies come to Darlington with tbe very highest recommendations, and having been thoroughly trained in their work, will doubtless give universal satis faction. Mr. B. K. DeLorme, who is doing all iu bis power to advance the in terests of the Darlington station which is nuder his charge", has petitioned tbe authorities to make this a regular “coupon.station,?’ like Florence and otherou the road, so tbat we will be able to purchase coupon excursion tick ets for the North aud the summer watering places without having to telegraph all otfer the conn try for them. Mb. J. J. Ward is making an ex periment in oatenllnre ibis season which will be watched wit h interest. His place of 250 acres near town on the Timmonsville road, which was planted altogether in cotton last year, is now sown entirely in oats, aud at the end of tbe season a com parison of the net profits of ths two years will be made, so as to deter-' mine tbe practical valne of diver aifying crops. Mr. Ward has al ready applied fitly pound of uitrate of soda, and a second application of the same quantity will be m de this week. The crop is now ab ut a Coot high, and ia in beautiful con dition. When Mr. O. W. Hewitt turns over bis present business stiud’o the Book Store nml The Darling ton News, he will oct upy the up per portion of the SMine buiidiiit;, amt will continue to slip) ly his many customers with furniture, buggies, bai m ss, Ac. Fob the purpose of accmnmod.it- iug those who may wish to attend the Floral Fair io Chaileston next week, round trip tickets from Dar lington to Charleston aud return, for tbe sum of 83.70 each, will be 1 placed on sale from the 20tk (Sat unlay) to tbe 25th, inclusive, aud will be giod until the 27th m*t. This rate is very reasourble, and from what we can leirn a large numb r ol our people will take ad vantage of it. • The Maron roiresooKlent of the Chailestmi WoiJd Bays: The cap tain of rbo Marion It ties has re- c»-ived a circular letter frmr. the commanding officer of this hiigade asking if the company contemplates going into camp during the sum mer, aud if so where aud a what time. Darlington has been spoken of bv some of the companies in this regiment, but this company would much prefer Sullivan's Island, and will use its influence in that ditec tion. The committee who have in charge the anangements for the centennial celebration of the iu- augnration of Washington as Ptesi- dent have requested all the church es in tbe land to hold thunks giv ing services on the 20th inst., SaU urday next, and at nine o’clock on the morning of that day all the church bells throughout the conn try will peal out as they did a hun dred years ago. It is to be hoped that arrangements will be promptly made for the observance of these religions and patriotic services in Darlington. While some of the youths of the town were amusing themselves with dumb-bell exercises on the Square on Mouday afternoon a dangerous looking p’stol dropped from tbe pock.-t of Sam Slawyer, the small colored boy who sells newspapers on the streets. One of tbe ever present policemen of the town was on hand, aud arrested Sam for carrying a concealed weapon, but subsequently let bim go on ascer tabling that the ‘weepou” was iu a considerably dilapidated conditio aud was capable ot injuring no 001- except him w bo should be foolhardy enough to fire it oft'. Among the many practical re sults which were obtained from tbe Experimental Station last year, was tbe knowledge of tbe value of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer. It will be remembered that on a cer tain unfertilized plat only five bush els of oats were made, while on the plat adjoining it, which had the proper application of nitrateof soda, the yield was thirty-two bushels. The farmers are profiting by this knowledge, and as a result so tie 2u0 tons of this particular fertilizer have Ineu sold here the present season as opposed to about twen ty for the last season. Darlington to Have a Real Book Store The business of tbe Book Store having increased to such an m.ex pected extent during the past year, it l-as become t ecc usury to s ek more c mm Odious quarters. The stock will accordingly be moved the latter part ot this month to Hewi.i’s o'd stand on the north east side of the Square. This batidiug h is b rn handsomely tit led up specially f »r the Book Store, and Darlingtcn will soon be able to boast of one of th* very best estab lishments of the kimLto be found in the'Pee Dee Bection. It is to be hoped tbat it-patjnnage will con tinue uiabitcd. frr no efforts will be spared to furnish the people with the best stationciy for tbe least possible amount oi money. It will Oe necessary, of c »nrse, to nifve The Darlington News office to tbe same building, where the facilities for - conducting that tiurineas are also much better; so our friends ami aub-ctiliera will please bear in nnnd tint after next week we will be found in the rtar l>or:ioo of tbe Hewitt building, and that the entrance to our sanctum will be through the Book Htore. ! Between the two dep.irtm nts, we are preparing to fit up a comforta- ble office, where oar frieuds from 1 tlic country will always be most heartily welcome, aud where they will be cheerfully furnished a desk an 1 all necessary appliances at any tim- that they may be in town and may wish to write a letter.

James McDowell aud T. C. Whaling and Messrs. J. O. Coit aud Robert M Co per. This tick et was understood to be a victory for those partial to Dr. Woodrow. The next meeting ot tbe Presbytery will be held at iSumter on October 4, 1889. The Qraded Schools. ^ The election to decide the ques tion of tbe issuing of 85,000 worth of six per cent, bonds for the pur pose of erecting suitable school buildings in the new Darlington School District was held in the Court House on Thursday. The Board o’'Trustees held a meeting The follow ing day, and announced that tbe election hud born carried in favor ol the Imnds. There were 193 votes polled, and all were in the affirmative with tbe exception of two which weie illegal. Messrs. E, Keith Dargan, George W. Dar gan and C. S. Nettles were appoint ed tbe Financial Committee of tbe Board, and to this committee will be left tbe matter of preparing, exe cuting an.1 floating tbe bonds. The amount is to be determined by the Board later, but it is not thought tbat tbe whole 85,000 will be need ed.
