We have been hoping against hope that the At* lantic Coast Line would grant our request and giveusa new depot that would be in every way adequate to the needs and demands ct oar thrif ty town ; tat it seems that we bave hoped all this time in vain. Dur ing the month of April a petition embodying the sentimeuts of onr cilizeus as demount rated in a large mass meeting held at that time, and which waa most numerously signed, was forwarded lo the At. lantic Coast Line bat, as yet, no answer to onr prayer h s come, and we are about to despair of ever seeing ‘ the consummation • so de voutly to be wished.” It is rumored, however, that the railroad company will, at an early day, repair tbe depot to the extent of stopping np leaks, that tbe storage may be kept dry, and so t# I that passengers, while waiting for the train, may sit in tbe waiting room without being drenched by tbe blessed rains of heaven. Ibe company allege that they cannot do more for tbeir patrons. When it is remembered that with the exception, possibly, of ttumter, the Darlington depot does a larger businesa than any other town in the eastern half of Booth Carolina, and that, witbont a single exception, it in and withdrawing of money from a com inanity which makes it pros- perons, but it is tbe making aud spending of on ney there which ac complishes this result.” THE JAMbTaND WILLIAMS AP PEALS On l-rdax last.

Editor Darlington Ac tea: As a tax payer anti citizen of the County and having its welfare at beatt, and believing tbe present an important lime in its history, and that tbe practice of *trict economy at this time, both private aud pub lic, will mure greatly toourudvaut- age, these, 1 feel are sufficient rea sons to warrant a tax payer it: crit icising tbe otlicial actions of tbe County Commissioners. This is done in a kindly spirit, for as private cilizeus they command my respect. If I am correctly informed the brick from tbe old jail has been sold for 1500, and an offer oi $2,500 for tbe jail 1< t has been declined. I under stand further, that a back lot was , o . i j __ offered tbem for something less than bas the poorest depot accommoda'* *500, and that they have $2 500 oat-h 0 .. .. ., ... u on bantl, received from the msur tious on the entire Coast Line Bys- aoce com \ mu ^ Frotll thi8 i tem, this little favor which we |K>seajuilconld have been construct •re to be granted of‘‘repairing” the ed on a rear lot for $5,000, ami there building would border on would not have been a dollar of tax present tbe ludicrous did it not involve in conveniences end lueses of a most serious uataie. In considering the generosity of tbe Company in this respect, we ere forcibly reminded of tbe story of tbe little boy, wbo when begging tor chicken soup, was given • disb of water tbrougb which bad walked a rooster mount ed on atilta. We cannot believe that the Coast Line people bave given this subject the careful consideration which ita importance merits, and we earnest ly beg that they will investigate it fully before taking final action iu the premises. WILL YOU ENCOURAGE TRUST? THE A Columbian, signing himself “W. H. G., Jr.,” wiitea an open letter to the farmers of the State, ajropot of the competition between the home and foreign oil mills, throngh tbe columns of the Newt and Courier ot the 6th inst. The letter is fruitful with good advice and sound argument, and is deserv ing of tbe most careful perusal by every farmer. It stands to reason that the friead and neighbor who is engaged iu this business is mote interested iu the success of the farmer than the capitalist from abroad, and that any advantage given by the farmer to the home industiy will redound to their mutual good. But more than this, aa W. H. G., Jr., well says, if the '‘trust” is enabled by the patronage of the farmer to break down tbe competition of tbe home mills, its monopoly will become complete; it will be supreme master of tbe situation and having no longer to trockle to the farmer, will soon force him to its own terms. Thus the temporary advantage (if it be even that) that the ‘'trust” at first may offer tbe farmer iu tbe shape of a slightly higher price paid for seed will be overwhelmed aud engulfed in the sordid avarice and Ths wastkar report for la* waek I. a. I ° f thia terrible mon toUaws: Rainfall far tk* State waa above j ster, holding the farmer completely nonaai; temperature shoot normal; ann on tbe County. Is this a lesson of economy as practiced by public offl c als? Does the County of Dsr liugton ss now divided teqnire a ten thousand dollar jail? Would uot half this sum build a pi in one atory jail which would be better and safer than any jail in the State oat side of Charleston or Columbia' Do tbe times require an elaboraie. ornamental atrnctnre for a jail Borne of tbe old time terror anu hor ror of a jail should be felt by those imprisoue I in it. Will it not lea sen thia feeling to build fine, com Tollable jails for them? I contend that tbe County Commissioners have been “left” in a business pnin iu declining to sell the old lot and build a new jail at a total coat of $5,000 Tbe idea of building a jail for $10,000 when $5,000 would do. 1 am informed there were but two bidders for tbia tine jail, a Chicago man and Mr. Duffy the eontraeior I would do Mr. Duffy an injustice to think him so dull as not to form a “tinst” with the Chicago man, if he had the opportunity. That such a '‘trust” was formed, 1 believe, lor it ia said Mr. Duffy has been ap pointed by ibe Chicago firm, who obtained the contract, and he will erect tbe building. Now the pnint is just this: The Commissicuers have failed to save .he county tax payers money both in d.cliiiing to sell tbe o'd lot aud hodd a $5,0U0 treasury. The body ol tbe church and gal leries were all crowded, aud it was some time b fore order and tilenoe could De secured. Dembo B\ rd then made a motion lor the Rev. John Stoat to act as moderator, which motion whs put slid carried. | Mr. Stout asMtmed tht* duties, and in old r that there might In* peib-ci tail ness and order, and no dispute as to ihe couut, requested all in the body ol tbe church who wete uot meitibeis to retire, umi all iu tbe ^slliries who were members to as semble in the lelt gallery. Dembo By id and Thomas McIntosh were appointed to s<e that no one in the cliur.-h proper voied w ho whs not entitled to do ho. and Jonas Th m*> as aud Thomas Weatherly were ap pointed for the same purpose in the gallenea. Thus there were two fiom each (action appointed. Mr. Stout with the approval ol both sides, requested Mr. J. L. Wilson aud Mr A. M. Sompayntc, of the Welsh Neck Church, to conduct tbe couut. Dembo By id then moved that “the members of Betbesda Baptist Church do *re hire’ Rev. J. 11. Carey as pastor,” which inothm was sec ouded by quite a number. Those in favor ol us atloplioj wera re quested to rise, and alter a careful count tbe tellers repotted 292 iu lavor of ‘re-hiring” Rev. J. U. Carey. The Moderator I lieu re quested all opposed to the motion to rise, the number of which the tel lets reported to be 208. Upon this announcement there was great con fusion, stamping, shouting and ap plause; audit was will) cousnler- able difficulty that order was re stated so as io announce ti e vote. Mr. Stoat for a while vainly en deavored to qniet them by remind ing them that they were in a church, etc., At length he said, that there was a clear majority of 84 tor tbe retention of Rev. J. U. Carey as pastor; that this result, as was agred to by both parties, should settle the matter, and the minority should yield with good grace to the majority. “Let these dissensions cease,” said be, “and in the fear of God deport yourselves as members ot Christ’s church. Let u<>t the affairs of the chuicb be, as fur ihe last six mouths, discussed all over the community as il it were not a church but a ‘synagogue ol Satan.’ In all honesty Rev. J. H. Carey has been elec ed your paster.” The benediction could scarcely be pro- uouuod for tbe shouting, and alter iMh« scene that followed baffl-*d a'l description. “Thank God, de majority Kettle de futt ;” “,Wr. White man bave to come iu and set le if, you couldn’t do it“ ’Twaut done fair;” these aud many similar ex pressions were heard, while hun dreds were with clas|K-d bands shouting aud rejoicing. Nearly ail, however, soon got into go< d humor, a condition which is now normal with tbe colored btothrr. He can’t “stay mad” when there’s much jo\ an I rejoicing going ou. Many call ed to congratulate Rev. Mr. Carey, some ot his op|K)iicuts taking the le.itl. Alexander Leeks was very dramatic, he said, “he had (ought him will) all (be power be could bat now he bad con e like Genera! Lee came toGia it at Appomattox to surrender his .-word.” Rev Mr. Carey was iu the best of humors and said, “his pen; le didn’t bav anything against him, cor he against them. They were only hav ing a lit'.le fan.” Bull, as *far aa can be learned, there are mauy ir reconcdables who will do all they can to promote discoid. This peace council was called by tl ose who were opposed to Mr. Carey; their intentions and motives were lx nest, and tbongh sadly disap|H>jfrredthey will abide by (he lesult.

Our system of dependence upon one another is so apparent, and the fact that tbe farmer and the home merchant are co workers for their matual good and f<r tbe genet al welfare is so clear, that it is a sell evident truth that, since the home mills will give the farmer the im- mediate benefit of prices on the •pot for seed, minus tbe amount for freight which mills at a distance bave heretofore added, the farmer should encourage borne enterprise and thus benefit himself as well as those most nearly allied to him.

On Sunday, June 30;h, Bethesda Baptist Church, colored, was filled to ovetflowiug, every effort having been made by the leaders of the op posing patties to g< t all tbeir num ber oat, as it was the day fixed upon by tbe “peace conucii” tor a final disct'SHiou of tbe troubles in the cbnrch, by deciding which side bar a majority ot members en titled lo vote, ou a fair and squate count. Tbo Rev. J. H. Carey preached on the occasion, and after bis sermon retired to the parsonage lot, where seated iu a large arm chair beneath the shade ot a wide- spreading oak he awaited the re sult with philosophic composure. All the difficulties seemed to be iu clnded and merged into this one of tbe pastorate of tbe church. Rev John Stent, of tbe Welsh Neck Church, and Stepney Howard, col ored, a licentiate, occupied the pul pit, and a number of the white citi zens occupied seats iu the front pews. At this time a collec tion was being taken up—each one with pride and dignity walking np to the table in front of tbc pulpit and depositing a contribution which the clerk coUeetedend called oat the amount Whenever there was a backwardness in coming forward, a deacon woald call out, “Bing up, sing up brethren.” The singing of lira ly and soul stirring hymns seems to have a wonderful effect in causing the silver stream to flow into tbe W elsh Neck Association. (Baptot Ceurisr ) Dear Courier: Let me say, es peciul y to brelhn ii of ihe Welsh Neck Association, that their Exec utive Committee bave engaged Rev. J A. Brunson as missionary evan gelist, to serve from June 23il to tbe close ot August. It was desiied to give the churches, as far as practi cable, an opportunity to become ac quainted with Bro Brunson, wbo will go out ftom us iu tbe early fall to open ibe new mission iu Japan ; ami the committee believe that bis visits would be effective in stimula ting tbe missionary zeal of the breth ren, while hisevangelistlc gilt might be exiH-cted to be, under tbe favor of God, huiI with tbw co-o|ieratiou of tbe churches, effective iu win ning souls to Cbrst, wherever be could hold meetings. Bro. Brun- dou goes to tbe work with strong desire to be used in saviug souls. Tbe committee have arranged the following schedule of work lor him. Taking all things into considera lion, it seem to be tbe best we could make.
