appointed Deputy United States

the new Marshal for South Caro
tina. This is a deserving compli
ment to Mr. Dargan, and. as the

An Enjoyable Occasion- ~ '
The good farmers and estimable
citizen! who moved from Darling
ton to the Mais Bluff neighborhood
winter before}!ast, gave a delightful
pic nic ip the grove at Mr. J. J.
Clemefits’ place on July the 4tb,
which was heartily enjoyed by all
those present. Misses Minnie Cle n

programme, consisting of promens
admg, music and a fine dinner In
the afternoon refresiments and
daneing were had and added great
ly to the occasion.

contains for the repast so generous
ly supplied that would truly put to
shame the boo ton caterer of a me
tropotitau city. Added to the ex
ceibut dinner s^r.ed, the directors,
with their usual courtesy anti atten
tion, did mnch to make the occa
sion most enjo> able.
The affair will be looked back
upon by ail with the most pleasura
ble reminicences, and will serve to
keep us in the brightest suticipa*
tious for the recurrence of the oc
casion next year.
The Progressive People’s Bank
As will be seen by reference to
another column, the People’s Back
is prepared to conduct a savings
department in addition to the reg
ular banking business. Thus we
have another opportunity for safe
investments and men of moderate
means e8|Mcially should take ad
vantage of the inducement* ottered,
for it will ussuiedly bo of nutold
benefit to them, it they will only
avail themselve* of it. Indeed Dar
lingtoo offers so many inducements
to its citizens to better th*-ir condi
tion there is no necessity that any
of us who are iudustiious should
remain needy. Our two banks are
willing to meet the people half way
and it now depends on the latter if
profits shall accrue to both them
selves and the corporations.
The County Alliance Meeting.
The Farmers’ Alianue of Dar
lington County held its quarterly
meeting in the Court House, on
Friday, President Lucas Mclutosh,
presiding. Rev. Simpson Jones
acted as Chaplain. Twelve of the
seventet n sub Alliances were repre
sented. Au electi n for officers
for the ensuing year was had with
the following result: President,
Lncas McIntosh; Vice President,
E. W. Cannon; Secretan, H. Lide
Law; Treasurer, A. C. Coggschall;
Chaplain, Rev, Simpson Jones;
Lecturer, E. E. Evan*; A sistant
Lecturer, J. E. Miller; Doorkeeper,
S. E. Mooie, Assistant Doorkeeper,
W. S. Atkinson; Sergeant at Arms.
Elias Boswell. The business com
mittee consists of J. W. Ferguson,
E. M. Williamson and J. W. Davis.
The several sub Alliances have
subscribed for 35 009 yard* of cot
too bagging sud it i* thought, that
the amount will be increased i.i the
near future.
Base Ball-
On the fourth fust, the first base
ball games of the season upon our
grounds were played, one in the
morning and the other in the after
noon. In the morning the second
nine of Darlington was badly de
feated by Swift Creek by a score of
30 to 8; in the afternoon the first
nine somewhat redeemed the repu-
ta'ion of the club by defeating
Swift Creek. The score was 7 to 3.
The local association is now ou a
sound basis, and every necessary
anangetm nt being completed, we
wiTT be afforde d the pleasure of
witnessing many good gauies ih s
seaseu. The Manager of the asso
ciation requests us to say that a
game will be had here to morrow,
when the home team will cross
rats with Society Hill. The game
begins at 4.30 P M., and promises
to be a good exhibition of Darlings
on County Base Bali tah-ut.
Again ou the 17th iust, the Wades
roro’ team is scheduled to play
here, and as that club is composed
of verj fioe material, our boys will
have to play their best, and a good
game may be expected.

DIED
At the residence of Gen. W. E.
James, near Palmetto, on July 0,
1889, Miss Lucy A. Baldwin, in the
79».li year ot her age.
Redmond Windham was struck bv i ...i , „ „.i.
lightning and badly damaged. Some e ^ ° _
of tbe furniture wag displaced and
Mrs. Windham was badly stunned.

of one of them. The clouds have
now sen led off. and farmers will
have quite a busy time with their
crops. One week’s good weather
for work, aud the corn crops will
be about laid by.
The Fair Company.
Tbe annoal meeting of the di
rectors of the Darlington County
Agricultural and Mechanical Fair
Company was held at the Fair
Grounds on Thursday. Much bu
siness of importance was transact
ed, but the arrangement of the pre
mium list and the appointment of
the dates upon which the fairs will
be held, were the only points of in
terest to tbe pnblic in general. The
Floral Fair will be held on Thurs
day, August 1st, and tbe annual
Fair will be held on October 30 aud
31 and November 1. It is also im
portant to state that the formation
of Florence Oouuty does not ex
clude that county from participa
tion in the competition for prizes,
so that wherever “Darlington Coun
ty” occurs in the premium list it
should be construed so as to mean
“Darlington and Florence Coun
ties.” The Floral Fair premium list
is published elsewhere.
After tbe adjournment of the
meeting, tbe directors and their
friends repaired to the dining bgll
where s sumptuous repast was
spread. It is impossible to do jus*
tice with tbe pen, to the dinner
now it is all over, bat tbe skilftil
and rapid use of tbe knife and fork,
while tbe feast was in progress, was
the best proof of the intense appre
ciation of alt present. Viands wore
there to suit tbe taste of every one,
and even the gennine epionreau and
the harinless nrand with bis so call
ed esthetic taste, coaid find no flaw
to harp upon, bat was contented to
“sit and sap” and sing load the

a combat. Mis* Pipkin went to
Justice Morn*, ot Lamar, and bad
a warrant ts-ued for Mr. Ri-gi*ier.
The const aide* came mi foot and
ilr. Register wasairested and car*
ried before Mr. Moiris. The trial
has not yet some off, but it is
thought that it will result in a mis
trial.
—While one of the boys was
quieriy coming in at a late boor on
Sunday night, he was attaked by
“varmint” at tbe line of the hill,
in about 100 j ard* of bis home. He
says that tbe auimallooked some
what larger than a dog, and that it
appeared before him in the road
and made several lunge* at him as
f to catch bold ot him. The yonug
man having nothing to defend him
self with, strnck at the beast w ith
bis bat and kicked at him with hie
feet, bat the “vaimim” was too su-
pie to be bit, and would jump buck
and imtredialely repeal it* hi tacks
it it inteuded to devour its vie
tim forihwith. Tbo young man
brought forth a few distressing
ells, and the neighbors went in
ia*te to his rescue. Tbe beast heaid
them coming, aud ran oil into tbe
swamp. The best description that
ooold be given of it, on account of
tbe excitement of the only one who
was oufortnuate enough to see it,
is that it was rather slenderiy built,
with a long boshy tail aud a few
white apots about its head. The
tracks were examined by the rep
reaenutive ot Thk News, bat it is
impossible to aay positively what'
kind of beast it was. Tbe track
didn’t resemble a dog’s in toy way.
