Florence is to have a tobacco facto ry, a targe portion of the necessary capital stock having been already snbecribetl. Lieutenant General D. H. Hili, of the Confederate armv, died in Char lotte, N. C., on the &th ult., In the sixty-ninth year of his age. South Carolina now takes the lead in the cotton manufacturing of the South. Last year 182,849 bales of cot ton were consumed in the factories of this State. The Louisiana Bond steal is l>eeoru ing very complicated and E. A. Burke, who was State Treasurer at the time the bonds disappeared, will have his hands full clearing up the matter. Earnest Willingham, a negro pugi list, and Tom Branch, were sparring in Atlanta, on September 24th, when Branch knocked Willingham out, killing him by breaking huneck. Mr. Ladson L. Fraser, one of the •Mestand most estimable citizens of Sumter County, died at bis home on September 21st. in his eighty-sixth r ir. He was the father of Judge T. Fraser. The Centenary, one of the most pop ular newspapers in the State, has been revived at Florence by Rev. A. W. Moore, the proprietor. The paper is handsomely gotten up by Mesirs. Prince it Starr. Col. Pat Calhoun and Col. J. D. Wil liamson, the Georgia duellists, have been arrested on a requisition from the Governor of Alabama upon the Gov ernor of Georgia. The seconds to the 1 were also arrested. Full reports from the second prima ry election held in Florence last week, for the purpose of electing the third County Commissioner, show that W. S. Gardner was elected over J. S. gh by a majority of 58. The Charleston Ntwt and Courier of Friday says: John K. Slater, white, was bound over to keep the peace be fore Justice Bolger yesterday. The charge against him was threatening a book agent. Of course, he had no difficulty in getting bond. Yesterday's Newt and Courier con talned an elaborate review of Colum bia's trade of the past year and a fine display of its resources. It shows a bright outlook tor Columbia and is a laudable piece of enterprise on the part of the New and' Courier. Gen. Meigs has written a note to the editor of the Engineering and Build ing Record, in which he says: “The child is now born who, in his old age, will be one of 1,000,000,000 of peo- B e in the United States, of which 80,- 0,000 will be blacks, or of African descent.” I exhibit, and the cost to any individual is merely a bagatelle. Besides the j honor, there is a substantial cash l prize to the successful County. *Vould i it not be well for other County \lli- ences t< adopt this phm and at the next State Fair show an excellent grain exhibit, besides displaying some thing of *he werk of which the ance is capable 7 Alli- An accident occurred at the Wateree trestle on the Wilmington, Columbia A Augusta Railroad early on Monday. The train which loft Florence that morning ran into a tree which had blown across the track. The engine left the track and ran some distance over the cross ties without running off tha trestle. No one was hurt- On Tuesday of last week the Mem phis Cotton Exchange took a back ward step by unanimously rejecting the resolution adopted by the New Orleans Convention, fixing a tare of 24 pounds and 18 pounds on bales cov ered with jute and cotton bagging re spectively. It will see the error of its way ere long. There it a secret organization in Baltimore, Md., the object of which is to protect its members from unfortu nate marriages. When one ef the club feels that he is falling ia Ibve he confesses to his fellow-melflbers and they appoint a committee to< investi gate the matter and advise him there- The Republicans of Mississippi met In convention, at Jackson, on Wed nesday of last week and nominated a full State ticket. James R. Chalmers, an ex-Confederate General, was nom inated for Governor. Several colored men are on the ticket. Less than one third of the delegates to the conven tion were white. The State Farmers' Alliance, of Florida, met at Jacksonville on Wed nesday of last week, about one hun dred and fifty delegates being present. The principal objects of the meeting are to make Jacksonville a wholesale market for Florida raised cotton, to build a cotton warehouse, to start a vegetable and canning factory, and to erect a cotton factory-.- The Alliance men in the neighbor hood of Magnolia, Sumter County, took their cotton to that town in a bulk and sold it to the highest bid ders. Things were pretty lively and the price went as high np as 10.88. In Barnwell County the members of the Alliance take their cotton once a week to the several towns of the County in turn and dispoee of it in a bulk. The National Committee of the Fanners’Alliance has just issued the following order to ah the Sub-Alliances throughout the country : That the action had by the Shreveport Cotton Exchange be adopted in the present emergency, and every farmer is hen - by instructed, when offering for sale cotton wrapped in cotton bagging, to demand payment for eight pounds more of cotton thau the actual gi weight of suah bale. The Yorkville correspondent of the Newt and Courier says: Three Mor mon “elders” have recently been dis seminating the pernicious doctrines jrf their Church in western York. On last Friday night about one hundred unmasked men made a diligent search for the missionaries, hut failed to find thsnb They gave a white woman who had been harboring them and a white men who professed faith in the Mormon doetrine a sound thrashing. Had the mfrsionaries been found they would have met with a warm recep tion. The Columbia correspondent of the ‘Newt and Courier says: A promi nent farmer of Fairfield County ex presses the opinion that his County Alliance will compete ter the$2100priie which the Mate Fair has offered for the best county exhibit of grain. The Agricultural Society Is very anxious thkt there should be a number of coat-ties contest h t for this prise. The Plan which is expected to be adopted in faiHUld County is for the County exhibit and gross PERMC1UUS DOCTRINES. We have it upon the most re liable authority that a colored preacher in the neighborhood of Dovesville is inflaming the minds of his hearers with the most extreme and incendiary utterances against the white people. If this be true, it is the duty of every good colored citi- nen of the County, and of the clergy especially, to do all in their power to counteract the silly ravings of this fanatic. The importance of such a course will at once ap peal to every thoughtful colored man. The two races are thrown by fate in a common country, and have to work out a common destiny. If trouble should come, the result could not fail to be disastrous to the colored, as has been the case recently in Georgia and other neighboring States where race conflicts have occurred. In many instances the whites have been largely re sponsible for these conflicts, and if the ringleaders got their de serts, their bones would adorn that peculiar tree whose single limb runs at right angles to its trunk. In South Carolina, how ever, the conditions are differ ent. The colored people in this State are freely accorded all the privileges to which the law en titles them. In our graded and public school systems, the two races, are afforded equal educa tional advantages without a single question being made, notwithstanding the fact that out of every hundred dollars raised for the support of the schools, the white people are taxed to pay at least ninety-five of it. Everyone who behaves himself decently is permitted to ride in first-class cars, no one dreaming for a moment of deny ing him that privilege because of the color of his skin. If our colored people, therefore, pay any heed to such foolish ramb- Imgs as are indulged in by their spiritual adviser in the neigh borhood of Doves, theirs will be the sorrow in the end, and the evils which will inevitably over take them, will be upon their own heads. BRING THEM TO JUSTICE On the night of Sept. 18th, an effort was made to blow up the postofflee building at Dovesville, a small wooden structure then in process of completion. The explosive used was a can of gun powder, the side of the building being saturated with coal oil. The noise of the explosion awoke those living in the vicinity, but very little damage was done. This evil deed was evidently the work of some one who had a spite against R. H. Stanley, a respectable colored man recent ly appointed in charge of the postofflee at Dovesville, and we have not words sufficiently i strong to express our hearty condemnation of it. Intelli- 'gence of the affair was forward ed us last week by our regular correspondent a t Dovesville, but we refrained from publish ing it for fear that the incident would as usual, be grossly exag gerated by the bitter Northern press, who would be only too glad to make use of it for the purpose of misrepresenting the better class of people at Doves, all of whom, it affords us pleas ure to state, black and white alike, condemn it in the most unmeasured terms. An account of the occurrence having ap peared in The News and Cou rier, however, further silence on our part is unnecessary. Up on the prompt suppression of such acts of lawlessness depends the maintenance of orderly rela tions between the races, and, for that reason, it is the duty of every good citisen of the Coun ty to lend himself to the accom plishment of that end. If, there fore, (as we believe them to be,) the better class of the people at Dovesville are in earnest in their condemnation of the outrage at tempted against Stanley, they will endeavor to unearth the party or parties who were guilty of it, and bring them to the speedy justfcw which they so Darlingtoi Public Schools.
