gfa Darlington HENRY T. THOMPSON, EDITOR: THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1889. TO OUR CORRESPpDESTS. The Correspondents of Tub Darlington News throughout the Cou.ity, are particularly requested to bear in mind that we greatly desire to have from them, as often as possible, (the oftener the better) the Local Eveuts of their sections. We want the news every week, if U is only a line. Editorial Notes. Snow fell in Wyoming and Colorado ' On Saturday. Rader C. Brandt, a young man aged about 28, committed suicide at his home in Chester, on Friday. Ireland, with her great big heart, has sent 2,700 pounds,or about $18,500, to the relief of the sufferers from the Johnstown flood. Five Alliance warehouses have al ready been chartered in this State and it is expected that the number will reach fifteen within the next month. W. D. Merrhnan, white, who was convicted of murder at the Chester field Court last week, has been sen tenced to he hung at the Court House on Friday October 25. The exceedingly bad weather of last week has thrown a damper over the festivities of the Maryland Expo sition and will take much from the succ^w of the sho\r. Two men were lynched near Mor- gauton, N. C., by a mob, on Tuesday night of last week. One was a white man and the other a negro and both Were charged with murder. F. W. Gesswein, a millionaire of Brooklyn, was deliberately murdered in his offfee. in broad daylight, by an <rid German, named Deynle, who be lieved that Gesswein was responsible for his poverty. Since J. M. Johnson, Esq., of Mar lon, assumed the duties of the office of solicitor, In December last, flve men have been convicted lb this circuit of capital crimes, three of whom are Hon. 8. 8. Cox, the gifted and witty Democratic member of Congress from New York, died in that city, on Sep tember 10. His death is a great loss to the country and the Democratic party. A tramp, named John Davis, acked for lodging at the house of Andy Sav age, at Stratford, Mo., on Wednesday of lost week and, his request being refused, he fired five shots, one of which killed atdaugbter of Savage. In a suit of Mrs. Mary C. Fell against the 3 C’s Railroad, a verdict of $5,000 was awarded to Mrs. Fell, In Camden, on Wednesday of last week. The suit grew out of the death of Mrs. Fell’s husband, W. D. Fell, from the scolds and bnrns received in a collision on the SC’s road. The Commissioner of Pensions, “Cor poral” James Tanner has resigned. It is evident that the Commissioner was forced to this action by the President although the letter ’ of resignation would imply that he acted voluntarily in the matter. His "pension grab'’ ideas were too much for the President. George Simmons, a farmer, died sud denly near Belvidere, New Jersey, on Beptember 10. When Mrs. Simmons was informed of the death of her hus band her head dropped, and live min utes later she was dead, the doctors eay of heart failure. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons were an aged couple and will be buried in the same grave. The storm of last week along the coasts of New York, New Jersey and Delaware, was particularly disastrous In its consequences. It is impossible to tell, as yet the extent of the de struction. A number of cities and towns have suffered great damage and many vessels have been lost. The number of lives lost is great. Postmaste* General Wanamaker has at last solved the Newberry postofflee problem, for a time at leatt, by allow ing Mrs. Herbert, the lady appointed by President Cleveland, to remain in office for the present. His own pri vate interests have impelled him to an action which the welfare of his country could not induce him to take. Tom Graham, colored, was shot and killed by Holland Donelly, white, in the lower part of Williamsburg Coun ty, on Thursday, .Graham was charged with stealing hogs and Donel ly, while attempting to arrest Graham, who resisted, shot and killed him. Donelly says he feared personal vio lence. A large number of famous men were once book agents. Among them were George Washington, Longfellow, Bret Harte, Jay Gould, ex-President Hayes, Daniel Webster, Gen. Grant, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Prince Bismark. The latter sold a book railed "Blu- menbach's Aufgeschlchte die Wessel- K ng in der Spiegeleisen." Nobody mined the door in his face. ■ While- John Gordon was recently asleep in a factory at Ticonderoga, N. Y., two fellow workmen thought to play a joke upon him. They tifed a rope around his neck and threw it over a shaft making 125 revolutions a minute. They could not cut the rope in time ana Gordon was killed, his body being horribly mangled. One •f the perpetrators of the joke lost hie mamo-from the shock. Carlson the owner of the ‘ i Dr. Cronin, of Chicago, iy murdered several i brought suit, for the attorney of the with the murder, for from the house the I other marks and evi- Curlson says he for exhibition ’ vis- to see the * »t the re- hls sunshine oorditions have been favor able for the cotton crop. Picking is nearly general and progressing rapid ly. Crops of peas, potatoes, turnips, etc., are reported in fine condition, with a prospective large yield. In some locations cotton will be below an average, and in others a promise of a fair average yield. Farmers feel en couraged. THE DEFICIT IN DAHLINGTON’S AREA. It will be remembered that the Act establishing the new Coun ty of Florence provided that a joint survey should be held by Darlington and Florence Coun ties to determine whether the former still had the constitution al area; and that Florence re fusing to participate in said sur vey, Maj. Earle, the surveyor employed by Darlington, set out alone, and when his labors were concluded, reported Darlington short of the required area by 24 square miles. In our judgment, as we have previously said, the whole affair will be finally set tled at the next session of theLeg- islature, by sufficient territory being restored to Darlington to give it the required area. Of course, if the people of Darling ton are to recover 24 square miles of the territory which they have lost, they naturally have some preference as to what par ticular portion it shall be. If this be so, we would suggest that some definite plan of action be agreed upon, and that we go before the Legislature with our minds fully made up in regard to what portion we are to en deavor to recover; otherwise we will find ourselves in the same position before the Legis lature which we have occupied for two years past, and that body, seeing our apparent lack of interest in the matter, and naturally supposing it to be gen uine, will vote to give us what ever territory Florence may elect for us to have. Would it not be well for our Representatives to ascertain the wishes of their constituents in this matter with out further delay ? ‘•FIRST BLOOD” FOR THE ALLI ANCE- A convention of Cotton Ex changes and the cotton trade in general was held in New Or leans, on the 11th inst., to con sider the amount of tare to be allowed on bales covered with jute and the amount on those clothed in the cotton* covering. Delegates were present from a large number of cities, includ ing Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Natchez, Meridian, Vicksburg, New York, St. Louis, Augusta, Memphis, Nashville, Mobile and Savannah. Commissioners of Agriculture from several of the States and representatives of the Farmers’ Alliance were also present. The convention resolv ed that all cotton in American markets be sold at net rates, 5 per cent, of the gross weight be ing deducted for tare when the bale is covered with jute and 31 per cent, if the covering be cotton. This is “first blood” for the Alliance. A reasonable allowance having thus been made for the difference in tare, the days of jute bagging are numbered. The various Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com merce (interested doubtless in the success of the “Jute Trust”) may object to the cotton cover ing as much as they please, its use will inevitably prevail in the end, just as was predicted some months ago. All honor to the Alliance ! It has won a glorious victory ; may it win many more ! For Sale. I A valuable house and lot conven iently located in the Town of Darling ton. For particulars, apply to W.
