Great was the disappoint ment, however, when 1 he conductor of the freight Ir n refused to have anything to do with tbe matter, on the ground that he had r. ceived no instiuctions concerning it.

There ia no bnsinesa worth mentioning done after that hoar anvhow, and if all the merchanta wonld agree to tbe plan no one could possibly lose any trade from it. A Charleston business man, who is both well and favorably known all over the State, while on • visit to Darlington last week made toe assertion that the farm ers of Dai lington who had bought from tbe Ginning and Fer'iliz r Company bad seemed their fertili zers at ten i»er cent, cheaper than anvbody else in tbe Sta’e.

Tbe Uuaids deserve gieat credit or tbe success wbicb crowned tbeir effbits to entertain the r guests. While Lowtber’s Lake is charming place, however, we would suggest that in future they have their maroons nearer town, as a great many ladies were pr«s v* u:ed Irom attending Ibil year by tbe long distance th^y would have tad to ride iu the hot sou. A number of tbe men too were unable to go as they rid not possess neces sary means ot transportation to the scene of tbe iestivNies.

On Friday last rile .Memorial ser vices were of a very interestii g character. Tkw attendance wh«* good, and there was .1 gr* ater pro fusion of floweis ihiit’ lots been the case for some yeais. The graves of tb** g Idlers at tin* cem teiies wne decorated by committ* es from tbe various iliu clie», an*i fl.iwers were add* d by the schoLiiS • f Miss “lay ei’s scliooi, as wrt 11 as other lit tle girls who joined tlie |>roces>iou. At five o’clock the liarlington Guard-, Bccompanied by Gain y’s band, marened to tbe Presbyterian Church, where a c;o*d of ladies ai d civzeus Lad assembled, ami the services were opened by K.v. Job;: G. Law, wboofieied a fervent piayer, and after appropriate mu sic tbe audience adjourned to the Confederate Me uunn-nf, which had been handsomely draped with gai- lauds of evergicen. E. Keith Dar- gati, Esq., read some fine Helectioits and tbe memorial Kerrices were OOUclude*l t*y handsome flowers being laid on tbe evergreens that covered tlie moi umeut. CouspiCN nous among tbe flowers was a Very baudaouie design representing a C01 federate flag. It was a beauti ful sight to see so many little uhil-, dien engaged ia this loving task of placing b ooming floweis in mem ory of those •‘gone before,” who died iu defence ot their couu'.ry. The exercises were concluded with tbe usual salute from tbe Darling ton Guards. The command looked remarkably well, appearing for tlie first time in public in tbe wbi>e leggings which set oflthegr y uni forms very handsomely. Tbe sui-i 11 boys, as usual, both white and colored, behaved very badly. Attention wa-called :o tbeir OouUnu' ou a sitni ar occasion be* fore, and it is with sincere ivgnt that we feel compelled to allude to itagai i. It does seem '.hat ou so sacred all occasou ns thi-, (he boys should be made to la have, and witbout meaning offence to any o: e in particular, we say unhesitating ly that it is rii- da y of eveiy moth er in tbe community to asceitaiu wbeth r her chi divu were engag* d in the stamp de whirh so aim yed both hidi‘8 and soldi rs on Friday last, and to mete out condign pun- ishm* ut to the «‘fl'e<,(!e:s. 80 s>-ri- ous is the annoyance that we would advise the municipal authorities to have several polic men in attend ance at the monument and the va rious cbuicbes ou next Memorial Day . We would further aiiggest to the ladies that they request the genrie- men of the conimuuiiy to orgai ize an Auxiliary Memorial A-sociation similar to those iu the other towns in the 8tat*. Such an asMa-iatioii would prove of inva ualde aid to them ou these occasions. The aieiu- bers of tbeGonuty Survivors'Asso ciation, at all events, should accom pany the ladies in a body, us ih'-y do iu Columbia and Charleston, so as to assist iu preset viug order aud transacting tbe more laborous de tails ot tbe ceremony wbicb are too much to be undertaken alone by tbe frail hands ot our loving devos ted womi n. Too much praise cannot be given to tbe Gainey Band which added so materially to the success of the set vices. Every encouragement should be given those talented, per severing young men, who are al ways sc ready to contribute their services were they will pro mote tbe public good. -Air. wame* Bii.csman ia oudo ing a neat little cottage near New Chapel. —Rev.
