It was also resolred to memorialize tbe Legislature to pass au anti trust law similar to tbe one oow in vogue io several States Tbe determination of tbe farmers to fight tbe trust even unto death was very discern able throughout the whole proceedings.

Tbe Florence Tournament was a complete success and reflected mocb credit npou tbe enterprising city. A large crowd was iu at- taadanoe. Columbia and Florence were the most anocesatul in captnr- ing prizes. A mine under tbe city of Scran- too, Pa., has caved in and many booaes have been damaged. Large dbmores may be seen in tbe earth and in tbe centre of tbe affected diatrict tbe earth has settled fnlly ton foet. There is an Indiana man in Wash ington, an old friend of President Harrison and Attorney General Miller, who is said to have made a good living since March 4 introduc ing office seekers to them at $10 tor Harriaou and 15 for Miller Way back iu 1853 tbe bark Mid way, while bound from Loudon to Philadelphia, loaded with a cargo of tin, lead and spelter, worth over $15AOOO was wrecked off Gape Hrntopen, Delaware. The wreck waa located a few days since and the cargo waa recovered and sold. Daring a heavy storm on Satur day night an nufioisbed building in Mm process ot construction in Chi cago was blown down completely demolishing a frame cottage that stood beside it. Eight persons were killed ontnght and four badly woonded. A delegation from the old 9tb New York Zouaves will attend the reanioD of tbe survivors of the 3rd Georgia Confederate Regiment which takea place at Fort Valley, Ga., to-day and tomorrow. During the late war the two organizations met and fonght in North Carolina and Maryland. Tbe arreat at Pittaburg, Pa., of Yeidell the Edgefield murderer has caused a great deal of excitement and at one time trouble was feared. Tbe colored people of Pennsylvania have made mauy efforts to have the Governor of that State to re tone to give the prisoner over to South Carolina. The matter is aot yet settled but will probably bo next week. A short time ago two meu visited Somtev claiming to be representa tives of a building and loan ksso elation of Minneapolis, Indiana. They persuaded several of Sumter’s business men to take stock in the association and after collecting the first installment of money left tbe lawn. It now appears that two mea claiming to represent the same ladiaaa company have been swind ling persons iulseveral Georgiatowns •ad it ia thought that the Georgia swindlers and the men who visited Sumter are the same. The people In the latter town are much wrought pp about it The convention of the State Farmers’ Alliance met iu Colombia «n Wedneaday and Thnraday. Tbe Booting waa very Interesting and iaatraotivfc It was decided to or ganise sn Alliance exchange for the State aad a resolution was pnosad urging the members to use ABJ available covering in; prefe r POLITICS AND COTTON BAGGING, It is marvellous to wh it extent one *ill go *1 e;i bo thinks his pi-r- »oua] iutoioe.’s an* in jeopardy . Hi- liille cates to a bat tactics be re«''its or with wlnii apc-ciouti arguments be veils his misrepresentations, if be may only gain bis own end. Now t af, iu tbe matter of jute bagging vef&us cotton bagging, the advo- cates of the former have l».*eu driv en to tbe wall aud I heir fallacious rea>ouing has been exposed toevery observant man by tbe clean cut, well defined truths advanced iu favor of cotton bagging, see their dernier resort! It is so ludicrous that »e hardly believe sensible meu could trust to it to deceive even the most igr; or ant. It runneth thus: That while tbe rank and file of tar* mers arc in earnest tbe promoters of the change to cotton covering are not so disinterested, but, on the couirary, the chief agitators are talking cotton covers tcith an ulte rior motive, and that, perhaps, po litical ! In this manner, those in* terested iu the manufacture aud sale of jute bagging, defeated at every point, fall back upon the lor loru hope of aiousiug prejudice against the victorious columu-of tbe anti “trust” army. We would advise a cessation of such futile tactics, for the fight the farmers have undertaken is the outgrowth of a principle coeval with the existence of man, the first law of nature, self-preservation; aud restiug its whole strength upon reason, its weapon is common sense. All appeals to prejudice, therefore, cannot be but abortive Any but an honest motive ia totally foreign to tbe promoters of a cause found ed npon a principle, such aa this, and the bint that politics is, after all, behind the conduct of the farm, era needs no refutation. We only mentiou this matter to show the jute men the error of their way and to give them some wholesome ad vice free gratis. It is to be hoped that the promi nent Chaneetou merchant, heavily engaged in tbe sale of jute bagging, who recently promulgated his spe cious arguments iu circular form amoug his customers throughout the State, will live to see how much of politics there is iu the “auti-jute combination,” and that he will mod ify considerably his views on tbe subject as expressed iu an inter view bed last week with a Repor ter of The Heictand Courier. THE COUNTY INSTITUTE- The County Normal School for white teachers will begin ou the 19th inst., ami will coutinue two weeks. As was announced iu Thk News lust week, Prof. Janins E. Leigh, of Richmond, Va., will have charge. It is very important that trustees, teachers and all interested in the cause of education should •tleud the exercises of the school, for, under the direction of one of the ablest educators iu the Soi th, it will certainly be conducive of much good to the whole County. The school tor colored teachers will begin ou September 3rd, and will continue two weeks. This school will also be under the super, inteudenceof Prof. Leigh aud is uo less important than tbe school for white teachers. This will be an opportunity for all who believe iu higher education for the colored people to encourage the good work by tbeir presence. WAKE UP, GENTLEMEN! The city fathers are hard to more about some thiugs. It took two y- ars to persuade them to purchase a towu bell; that was uot very re markable, as they are right to be cautious about spending the peo ple’s money. Now that they have at last purchased a bell, however, it seems as if it would take two years more to persuade them to put it up. Their conduct now is inex plicable. A hundred aud thirty- four dollars of tbe people’s money is tied up in a bell which is totally useless, simply because it is allow ed to mat away ou the floor of the hardware store.

Editor Darlington Aetct: Along with other criticisms on our County Commissioners aud their public acta, they are accused with having a finger ia the Experi mental Station levy of oue mill as passed by oar Legislature.
