The War Against Dogs
lu response to the petition, so

nuisance. To this eud, at the last

auce was passed taxing them from
$2 to$3each. Butonmvesttgatiou
it was iouud that (he town chattel
empowered the couucjl to lax dogs,
of ail kinds only to the amount of
$1, each, so that the ordinance re-

Another Lease of Life-
•
The Columbia correspoodeut of
The News and Courier, under date
of June 20, says ;
“This morning’s papers said that
unless tbe Governor or tbe Supreme
Court interfered th^t Joseph W.
James, of Darlington, will be bang
ed to-morrow. James is tbe white
man who is nnder seuteuce of death
for the kiiliug of his father and was
with Lewis Williams, sentenced to
be hanged to*morrow. Jndge Press-
ley sentenced him. There bas been
au appeal to the Supreme Court
and the appeal bas been heard, but
tbe decision has not yet beeu reu>
dered. As long as tbe Court has
the appeal under consideration
James cannot be hauged, aud as
the decisiou will not be rendered
until after tbe day of execution as
signed, James will have to be
brought before tbe Court for reseu-
tence aud cannot be hanged to>
morrow.
The Governor has not beeu asked
to interfere with tbe sentence, as
«x ecu tion cannot occur to-morrow,
the Court having the appeal case
uuder consideration. The Xevt
and Courier’s representative bas
been watching for this decision for
sometime,”
The Alliance and the Bagging War.
The committee of the County
Farmers’ Alliance appointed to
consider tbe advisability of organ
izing an Alliance Joint Stock lo:ii-
pauy will meet here ou Monday
morning next at 10 oMock. This
committee wilt formulate a leport
upon tbe subject, which will be
presented to the Alliance at its
a uarteriv meeting ou the titst Fri-
ay in July. The committee ou
cotton bagging will also meet ou
Monday. Alteady oribig for 40,-
000 yards ol cotton bagging have
beeu taken in this County, and it is
thought tbit this amount will be
doubled iu a very abort time.
The Darlington Countv Alliance
is well organized and equipped for
au effectual fight against tile jute
trust, and it is highly probable that
in this respect, it is much iu ad
vance ot all other Alliances iu this
State,

Prof. Gordou is a colored man,

strnctors, as thus partially com.,

An Interesting Controversy.
Alter tbe store recently occii
pied by Messrs. Blackwell Bros.,
aud belonging to the Enterprise
Hotel Company, had been pulled
down for the purpose of erecting a
brick building in its stead, the
work was suddeuly stopped. A
spectre had appeared which prom*
ised to cause some trouble. The
lot owned by the Misses Lide ad«
joins ou tbe east the Euterpr se
Hotel Company’s property. The
bugbear was the question “where
did the line dividing the lots run f”
The Hotel Company claims that
the western side of the building,
known as the Lide store, is the hue,
while the representatives of the
Misms L de claim that the store
recently pulled down was partly

its west roiQer at the rear. The
whole matter will be made (he sub
jecl of arbiif tion, and will thus be
amicably se tied. The wotk Oi e<*
cavatiou for tue new building has
been lesumed, aud the delay ot a

file Colored Farmers-
The colored State Farmers’ Alii
auce met iu couveutioti iu Coluin
inu op YYeduesoay aud Tbuisday
of ast week. Tne delegates from
this County were Prof J. H. Carey
and Neio Davis, both ol Society
Hill. The meeting was organized
with Prof, Carey as Piesideut, who
made an address, concern tug w hich
the Columbia convspondeut ol the
JV’etra and Crurier says: “Preei
dent Carey iu his inaugural address
emphatically asserted that the Alii
auce had uo poli ieal significance
and was altogether without political
purposes, tielf-protectiou aud co
operation, he said, was the Alli
ances’ aim, aud uot politics. He
stiougly advised the uegroes to let
politics alone, an I insisted that it
had been their sore experience that
nothing was to be gained from pol
itics. He said there are now thirty*
six sub organizers iu tbe State,
with one superintendent.”
Many delegates were present aud
much business of importance was
transacted. Pi of. Carey was elect
ed State Superintendent aud was
also elected a del-gate from tbe
Sixth Congressional District to the
convention of tbe National Allrauoe
which meets in St. Louis iu July.
A resolution was passtd to estab
lisb a State Exchange, and for this
purpose every member is assessed
two dollars This Excbauge will
be located in the city or town offer-,
iug the best advaatages. The uext
meeting will be held in August,

The proceedings were dignified,
orderly and entertaining, aud the
colored people have evidently goue
to work in this matter with tbe
right spirit aud, it they continue in
this, success will suiely crown their
efforts.
