The BIshopville Eagle says : Rev.
A. W. Parrott, of Darlington, made
us a pleasant call on Monday last, and
it was a great pleasure to meet him.
No one can come in contact with Mr.
Parrott and not feel better afterwards
We noticed him “takin’ notes” and
will not be surprised if BIshopville
will be “written up.”
; week three children of Frank
Johnson, colored, of Columbia, died
within twelve hours of one another.
The colored people became so suspi
cious about it that the coroner held
an inquest and dug up one of the
bodies from the grave, but the doctor,
who held the autopsy, found that the
children died from natural causes.
The Cheraw Reporter says : Col.
Ben Terrell said In his speech at Ches
terfield last Friday that a merchant
on who had engaged 800
bagging ordered it sold in
> as he could not sell it in
Darlington—the reply was he would
have to p%y for his jute as there was
no market for it in Charleston. So
much for the Alliance.
The State «f Virginia has been

veterans were present. Glowing ac
counts are given of the affair. Gov.
J. B. Gordon, of Georgia, delivered
the address or weleome at a grand bar
becue to which Gon. W. S. Kosecrans
replied. An association was organ

On last Thursday night a terrible
calamity ooeurml in Quebec. The
city is divided Into two parts, the
K r befog built upon an Immense
if rock and the lower immediate
ly under thediff. A large portion of
the cliff fell, on the night stated, upon
the lower portion of the city demolish
ing the houses and burying many per
sons in the debris. It is impossible to
tell, as yet, how many persons are
killed bat twenty corpses have been
taken from the ruins. Besides the
houses fliat were destroyed, nine hun
dred others have been condemned as
dangerous.
The Cheraw Reporter says : Our
skilled mail agent Charlie McAllister
. dropped the Darlington pouch in the
ditcn near Cash's a short time ago and
it stayed all night and was picked up
the next day by one of section mas
ter W. A. Liles’ hand on the C. and D.
road. The Cash’s pouch also was
fouud one moruing by a negro man
by the side of the road and given to
Mr. W. A. Liles. It is no wonder that
people have difficulty in getting their
mail regularly when it is thrown
around looee in this fashion. Charlie
McAllister has been reported to head
quarters for such conduct.
The Bishopville Eagle rays : The
County Commissioners were up on
Tuesday for the purpose of letting out
to a contractor the additional bridge
to be built at DuBose's. The building
of the bridge was awarded to Mr. J.
W.Walters, of Darlington County, for
$60.00. The bridge is to be 200 feet
Ring, 14 feet wide and on a level with
the present bridge and above high
water mark. The Commissioners are
to furnish all material and are now
delivering the lumber at the place.
The bridge is to be completed by
October 1st. At the same time the
work of raising a causeway was award-
®d to Mr. John M. Speers, of this place,
for $60, the road hands to do three
days work thereon. The raising of
•ome of the spans and repairing the
raiUngs of the old bridge was award
ed to Mr. Walters for $0. The road
on the Darlington side has been put
In first-class repair and when these
contracts are finished DuBose’s will
be one of the best, if not the very
bast, crossings on the river.
The Charleston News and Courier
“Mr. George Hope, who has
been in North Carolina recently talk-
— *P the Gala Week and seUing
isandsof tons of fertilizers, has
returned to the city and
at back a bridal romance that

■ yesterday that the Alliance
men were sweeping the field, and he
mentioned an interesting instance of
the enthusiasm iu favor of eotton
covers. A young gentleman who is
estimated to be worth from forty to
fifty thousand dollars was married to
• charming young North Carolina
lady the other day. The bride was
evidently m much In favor of Alliance
methods as her husband, for she con-
•ented to be arrayed In a bridal cos-
tome fashioned oat of the cotton cov

It Is related that Ira Tripp, a mil
lionaire ‘of Scranton, Penn., has a
peculiar habit. For many years he
smoked cigars until his physician told
him he must stop smoking or die.
Thereu|>on Tripp hired a negro to
smoke all day near him and blow the
smoke into his face. The negro did
this for years until he died, and his
place was taken by a white man. Mr.
Tripp is in perfect health. His smok
er uses about twelve fine cigars a day.
Tripp seems to derive great enioy-
meut from this seoond-haud method
of indulging in tobaeco.
i PROUD DAY FOR-DARLING TON.
Owing to several spells of bad
weather, and to other causes, ft
has been found impossible to
get the Public School buildings
ready for use by Monday next,
and the trustees have therefore
decided not to open the schools
until Monday, October 7th. Pa
rents and pupils are requested to
govern themselves in accordance
with this announcement.
The day named will mark an
era long looked forward to by
the people of Darlington. These
schools should have been estab
lished ten years ago, but it is
“better late than never,” and
we are convinced that they will
do more to advance the material
interest of the Town of Darling
ton than any other of the many
enterprises which have been in
augurated in our midst during
the past decade: Their fame
has already gone abroad to such
an extent that a respectable
school could be organized from
the applicants outside of the
District who desire to attend by
paying tuition. It is doubtful
whether one of these can he ac
commodated, however. Resi
dents of the District have of
course, the first Claim, and from
the present outlook the question
of accommodating even them
will be quite a problem. The
first three days of the present
week were devoted to the exam
ination of pupils for the Mayo
school (colored). No less than
427 have applied for admis
sion into that institution, and the
numper of pupils has so great
ly exceeded the estimate of the
trustees as to induoe the belief
in the minds of many that a
large portion of the colored pop
ulation of the surrounding coun
try must have migrated to town,
within the last few weeks in or
der to obtain the benefits of the
schools.
Our schools are not to be
“graded” in the strictest sense,
and we will, therefore, drop that
term of designation, and will, in
in the future, make use of the
one adopted by the trustees,
‘The Darlington Public Schools.’
The six lowest classes in the
schools are to be graded ; the
lowest of them all will be desig
nated as the “first grade,” and
so on. The four first grades
will form what is to be known
as the “Primary Department,”
the fifth and sixth are to be call
ed the “Intermediate Depart
ment,” while all above the sixth
will constitute the “High
School.”
One of the greatest objections
to a strictly “Graded School” is
that the pupil is compelled to
take every study designated for
his grade, without regard to the
preference of his parents. Again,
a pupil who may be well advanc
ed in mathematics, for example,
but backward in the other de
partments, is compelled to go
into the same grade with those
who are extremely slow for
their years in mathematics, hut
who may be equal in other re
spects. The excellent system of
grading only the first six classes
obviates these difficulties to a
considerable extent. While the
pupil is in the elementary period
of his training, he has to go over
a common ground which should
be covered by every one alike,
no matter what may be his pe
culiar talents, or the wishes of
his parents in regard to his fob
lowing some special line of study
with a view to fitting himself
for a particular calling. It is
equally obvious that after the
“High School” department has
been reached, the practice of
permitting the pupil to select his
own departments of study, un
der the proper restrictions im
posed by parents, teachers and
trustees, cannot fail to work ad
vantageously.
Until the work of the schools
shall have become thoroughly
adjusted, which time only can
accomplish, the most serious
dissatisfaction which will arise
among the patrons will he in
this matter of classifying and
grading. With everything to
tally unorganized, it will, of
course, be almost impossible to
avoid making mistakes at first,
but as soon as they are discov
ered they will be rectified
promptly. For this reason the
present assignments to the sev
eral grades will be made “pro
visionally.” We trust there
fore, that the parent who holds
the opinion that his boy or girl
has been graded “too low” will
accept the situation patiently,
with the assurance that if any
mistake has been made time will
surely rectify it. Under the able
management of Mr. Wardlaw
and his efficient corps of instruc
tors, Darlington will soon have
a public school system which
will equal that of Charleston.
IT HAS CDMETO STAY.
A full account of the proceed
ings of the Farmers’ Alliance
on Thursday last is published in
another column, and a great
day in the history of the Order
in Darlington County is thus re
corded. Too much praise can
not be given Col. Terrell for the
manly spirit in which he deliv
ered his address, and he who
took exception at anything that
was said is beyond the reach of
any argument. The distinguish
ed speaker has been grossly mis
represented by those who have
accused him of indulging in
“tirades.” The evils under
which the farmers are laboring,
and the remedies for overcoming
them, were set forth in a straight
forward manner, without a
harsh word being uttered
against anybody/or the slight
est effort being made to array
one class against another. On
the contrary his argument tend
ed to show that we are all living
in a common country, and that
all of our interests are insepar
able. The evils which one class
of our fellow citizens may be
laboring under are evils upon us
all, and it is the duty of every
good man, in whatever sphere
of life he may be, to do all in
his power to alleviate them.
Experience has proven that
in every calling the greatest
beneftts are to be derived from
co-operation. Sad indeed then
must be the disposition of him
who would raise his voice in op
position to an organization of
farmers entered into for the ad
vancement of their mutual in
terests. From its very infancy
the Farmers’ Alliance has com
manded the respect of every
good citizen by the noble pur
poses which it had in view, and
by the fine material of which
the Order is composed in every
Southern State. This respect
has steadily increased with the
lapse of time, until with the
more complete knowledge of its
objects and aims, as explained to
us by the distinguished guest
who was with us last week, it
affords pleasure to every true
citizen of Darlington County to
acknowledge the value of the
Alliance, the most useful far
mers’ association o f modern
times.
