Mr. D. A. G. Outz, of the Charleston World, was in town Darlington’s Area- The County Commissioners of Darlington and Florence Coun ties have for some time past beefl in correspondence looking towards an amicable adjust ment of the County line diffi culty. It is the desire of both { parties to the question that a me be decided upon before the next meeting of the General As sembly, and that the subject be presented to that bbdy on a ba sis agreeable to all, so that har monious and united action might expedite the legislation. In ac cordance with a previous under standing, the two Boards met in the County Commissioners’ office, at this place, on Tuesday to consider the matter. All of the Commissioners from Dar lington were present and Flor ence County was represented by Commissioners Robert Peel and E. M. Ervin. The follow ing proposition was submitted by the Florence Board: “The County Commissioners of Florence County make the following suggestion as to the boundary line between the two Counties: “That the line start at San ders’ bridge, thence running along the public road to the fork of the roads at the old Hatchell place, thence by a straight line to the King road at its intersection with the Dar lington and Timmonsville road, thence along the Darlington road to High Hill Creek, thence along High Hill Creek to Lewis’ mill, thence along Muldrows’ line to Back Swamp, thence along Back Swamp to Herring Creek, and thence along Herring Creek to Pocket landing in Great Pee Dee River,” The suggestion was received by the Commissioners of Dar lington County, who promised to give a reply at their earnest convenience. Other sugges tions were made, but as they were only informal they are not recorded. So the matter remains in statu quo, but it was evident, from the earnest desire of all —On last Saturday Mr. Mil-; complaint.

Johnson has great ly improved. —We are having some very fine weather for gathering cot ton and potatoes. —Mrs. Elizabeth Outlaw, An effort was afterwards made to raise the amount by private subscription, which failed. At the eleventh hour of the last ses sion of the General Assembly the Act creating this special tax to pay for the station was tack ed on to the appropriation bill and rushed through as a ‘rider,’ without the least regard to the wishes of the taxpayers, who have the burden to hear. The Act having been passed, the gentlemen who assumed the responsibility for the five thou sand is relieved, and the burden is saddled upon the taxpayers.

The ad visability of sending a rifle team 1o Charleston during Gala Week is now under advisement Thisves Caught in the Toils- Mr. J.L. Bennett, who lives in the Stokes Bridge neighborhood, was robbed on Saturday of an overcoat and pocket book con taining $103.00. The party or parties had entered the house and committed the theft. A short while afterwards a woman was in Mr. J. H. Pate’s store, at Stokes Bridge, to make some Purchases and the large amount °f money she had in ner hand aroused suspicion. When ques tioned she said that a certain colored man, whose name we nave not learned, gave her the money. This man was ap proached and made a statement implicating both himself)about and Jof ured.

He solicits a trial. —Mrs. J. W. Murray is very sick. While the attending phy sician thinks she is not danger ously ill, admits that his skill is somewhat baffled. —Mr. R. L. DuBose has open ed a stock of millinery goods at the stand formerly occupied by Miss Green and proposes to suit the ladies both in quality and prices. —The Farmers’ Alliance, at this place, has decided to take stock in the Farmers’ Exchange. The Order is increasing in num bers and Is as determined as ever to fight all trusts and com bines against farmers. —Mr. J. W. Beasley has made considerable improvements his mills, having built a CYPRESS —The health of our communi ty is very good. The corn crop in this sec tion is reported good. —Our little town still improves. We now have a first-class bar ber. —Mr. Mackey R. DuBose, of this place, has returned to Wof ford College to complete his ed ucation. The farmers have a large supply of peavine hay and we do not anticipate any scarcity of forage next season. —Mr. J. A. DuBose has very nearly finished his neat dwelling which makes a fine appearance and which promises to do much credit to our little town. —The new bridge at DuBose’s, which entirely spans the swamp to the Sumter side, has been completed, making it now tho best crossing on Lynches River from source to mouth. —We would be pleased to hear something more from our friend Mr. J. W. Beasley, through the columns of your paper, in refer ence to the one mill levy for the Experimental Station. Go for them, friend Beasley! —The ladies will give a hot supper at the academy, at this place, on Friday night. Oysters will also be served. The pro ceeds will be devoted to the ben efit of the Methodist Church. The public are cordially invited and will please bear it in mind as it is for a good cause. —Our Alliance club at this place has waked up and is doing business with a vim, meeting once a week. The Alliance men say they are determined to turn their backs on any trust that shows itself in opposition to the farming interest and we see them covering their cotton every day in cotton baggii seems that they mean —Cotton is opening and being gathered very fast, but most of tbe farmers are holdmg on to it to get 10 cents. The merchants are complaining about poor col lections and it seems that every good thinking farmer come forward at once the time the taxpayers in this territory come in for the addi tional one-mill levy also. Mr. Beasley says he is indig . nant, and he has a right to be. [ Summons There a*e many other taxpayers besides Mr. Beasley who are in dignant. If the citizens of Dar lington wanted the Agricultural Station in or near their town, and were willing to pay for it, all w T ell enough. But the man ner in which this debt has been saddled upon the people without their consent, or even their knowledge, is a gross imposition, and a shame. Well may Mr. Beasley de nounce the Act as “unworthy of the statesman and patriot.” MARRIED. On Wednesday October 23, ’89, by Rev. J. G.
