HENRY T. THOMPSON,
EDITOR:
5t)AY, NOV. U,18f89.
Editorial Sotrt.
The United States erniser, Charles
ton. has been officially accepted by
the Government.
The American Catholic Congress |
has jnst coinplett«d an important and
enthusiastic session in Baltimore.
James Redpath, the well known
lecturer and author, is said to be wri
ting the biography of Jefferson Davis.
Mrs. Francis E. Willard has been
re-elected President of the National
Christian Temperance Union. The
vote was almost unanimous.
The new States of Washington and
Montana have both been formally ad
mitted into the Union by a proclam
ation of the President.
The famous “Great Eastern," the
largest steamship in the world was
recently tom to pieces in order to get
its old iron whlcn is to be sold.
Ex-State Treasurer Burke, of Louisi-
anna. the defaulter has not yet been
extradited as his whereabouts are
unknown.
The University of Pennsylvania has
opened its doors to women. This ac
tion was taken in spite of the protest
of the students now attending the
institution.
Col. Alfred Rhett, the commander
of Fort Sumter during the war and
afterwards chief of police in Charles
ton, died in that city on Tuesday, in
the 61st year of his age.
The new State of Montana seems to
lie in a muddle. As the election was
very close there are in many cast*
two claimants for the same office and
there is abo a probability of there be-
two legislatures.
A terrific conflagration visited Pe
tersburg, Virginia, on Thursday last
on a business block and about fifteen
buildings were destroyed. The loss
is estimated at |.VN),(X0. Insurance
$400,000.
R. B. Watkins, a physician and
druggist of Kershaw County, was ar
rested in Charleston recently for
breach of trust. While being taken
to Kershaw by the Sheriff he took
strychnine and died on the train.
That portion of the late Samuel J.
Tilden's will which provides for free
libraries in New Torn City, has been
declared null and void by the 8u-
K te Court of the State, purely on
nical point 9 .
The city of Charleston was all
aglow last week with gala festivities.
The Gala Week, which has become
an annual institution in that city,
surpassed the brightest expectations
this year and thousands poured into
Charleston to enjoy the festival.
The Presbytery of New York has
declared itself in favor of a revision of
the Westminister Confession of Faith
Two of the principal doctrines to be
eliminated by the revision are irre
vocable predestination and infant
damnation.
The water power on the Columbia
Canal will be rented at the rate of $5
per horse power per annum. This is
equivalent to two cents per day and
is less than one-third of the lowest
rate charged in any of the principal
manufacturing centres at the North.
During a trial in Court at Lexing
ton. Virginia, on November 8, James
Miller deliberately blew out the
brains of Mrs. J. P. Walker. In the
melee which ensued Miller was killed
and two of his sons were wounded
and the husband of Mrs. Walker was
also wounded.
A dispatch from Dayton, New Mex
ico, dated November 8, says that it
has been snowing in that country for
eight days and that the snow contin
ues to fall. On level ground the
depth of the snow is no less than
twenty-six inches and in many places
it has drifted seven feet high.*
A charter has been issued to colored
persons of this State for the organiza
tion of an Agricultural and Mechan
ical Fair Company, which will hold
annual fairs in Columbia for the pur
pose of exhibiting to the world the
prosperity and advancement of the
colored race in South Carolina.
Mr. J. P. Gibson, the editor of the
Pee Pee Alliance, published at Ben-
nettsville, has recently purchased that
])aper, and will conduct it in his own
interests. Mr. Gibson is an accom
plished newspaper man, and is to
be congratulated on having obtained
control of a journal which owes its
success to his energy.
A double murder has just come to
light in Clinch County, Georgia. The
ricti
of a Democrat !o sweep in Ohio was j
definitely ascertained. Processions I
moved about the streets, and the toot
ing oi horns and the beating of drums
made night hideous. The most un
ique way of celebrating was displayed
by Allen O. Myers, a well-known
newspaper man, who was recently
imprisoned by a Republican Judge
for alleged contempt of Court. Mr.
Myers rode down Vine street mounted
on one of John Robinson's camels.
The animal was gayly attired and the
turnout was followed by an immense
mob of yelling men and boys. Ac
companying him was a wagon, in
which an organ had been placed, and
a big, fat saloon-keeper grinding out
thf music.
r,
victims were a man named Page, 7H
years old and his aged wife. The
murderers are supixwed to be negroes
and robbery is supposed to have been
the motive for the crime. The bodies
were found in a horribly mutilated
condition.
While the Democrats of Petersburg,
Virginia, were celebrating their par
ty’s recent victory on the night of
November 5, they became very bois
terous in front of Gen. Mahone's resi
dence and during the jollification a
young man named Harrison was shot.
Mahone was accused of committing
the deed and was arrested, but was
released on a $2,500 bail to appear be
tore the next term of Court.
Major James R. McGill, President
of the Kershaw County Alliance, has
been nominated by a Democratic pri
mary for Senator from that County
His competitor was a lawyer. One
Sub Farmers’ Alliance openly en
dorsed Mai. McGill and the Camden
correspondent of The Newt and Con-
rier says that he did not get fifty
vote* from non members of the Alli
ance, while his opponent did not get
that number from that organization.
Hon. Thos. F. Bayard, ex-Secretary
of State, was married in Washington,
on Thursday, to Miss Mary W. Clymer
of that city. Mbs Clymer is a great-
grand daughter of George Clymer, a
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
enoe and is wealth yandwasqnite a belle
in Washington. Only a few personal
friends were present at the wedding,
among whom were ex-President and
Mrs. Cleveland and several members
of the Cleveland Cabinet.
A Brooklyn girl, who is an heiress
but whose property is in care of a
trust company, applied to the presi
dent for money with which to buy a
sealskin sacane. He refused, on the
l that it was a luxury. The
I then applied to the Supreme
i through a lawyer for permis-
. and it was granted, and in less
wearing the best one she could find.
The Democrats of Cincinnati paint
ed the city red as soon as the fact of
THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
The result of the elections on
Tuesday of last week far sur
passed the expectations of the
roost bouyant Democrats and
the “Warterlow” of the Repub
licans was as glorious as it was
unexpected. The sun which set
amid the gloom of defeat on the
evening of November G, 1888,
arose on November 6,1889, re
splendent with the flush of vic
tory. The hopes of the Democ
racy subdued by Jadversity have
again been rekindled and once
more confidence has been re-
•
stored in the principles for
which the party is battling. The
victory has given new life and
new strength to the advocates
of reform and from Maine to
California, amid the jubilee
and jollification, is heard the
slogan of the Democracy urging
on the faithful to greater and
more far reaching victories.
From all points comes the
good news. From old Virginia,
the “Mother of States and States
men,” we are told that Mahone
has been throttled in his treach
ery and that his death knell may
be heard in the resonance of
41,090 Democratic majority.
And thus occurred the political
death of the most consummate
knave that ever disgraced the
political arena of the South.
1 here is now an end to his “boss-
ism” and the Virginians have
stamped “Sic Semper Tyrannis”
upon his political corpse. From
across the Potomac in “Mary
land, My Maryland” comes the
joyful tidings that there the
Democracy is all right, holding
its own by the usual vote. Way
into tfie fastness of the Repub
licans, into the very stronghold
of the party, Massachusetts, we
are told that the immense ma
jorities heretofore given the Re-
pulican nominees are no more,
their candidate for Governor
only winning by the slim pin
rality of some 5,000 votes. The
great State of New York, too,
joins the procession with a Dem
ocratic majority of 20,900, while
the loyal little State of New
Jersey rolls up a majority of
10,000.
Into the far West the party
has planted its victorious ban
ner. . Ohio elects a Democratic
Governor and Legislature the
latter fact ensuring the selec
tion of a United States Senator
from that State from the party
of the people. The greatest sig
nificance of the election in this
State, however, is the overthrow
of Foraker. His wings are clip
ped and his aspirations for the
Presidency are forever doomed;
verily the lover of good gover-
ment and fraternal feeling
must rejoice at the defeat of
the calumniator of the South
for the sound of his voice
ia now forever stilled. In
Iowa the Democrats wrought a
revolution and, for the first
time since 1854, elected their
candidate for Governor by about
5,000 votes. The Republicans
have only eight majority in the
legislature and indeed, the po
litical complexion of that body
was so long in doubt that Wm.
B. Allison, who has decided
longings for the White House
and whose successor in the Uni
ted States Senate is to be chosen'
by this legislature and was for
sometime kept “shaking in his
shoes” in agonizing suspense.
Pnnsylvania and Nebraska
were carried by the Republicans
their usual majorities.
With an unswerving devotion
to principle the Democrats bold
ly faced the issues and victory
is theirs. There were no recal
citrants skulking in the tents
but eVery voter was to the front,
having “Reform!” upon his
lips and “Act!” imprinted upon
his heart. With the conscious
ness of right, the party swept
everything before it. Hie suc
cess oasts a fore-shadow of the
victory yet to come.
THE COCSTY LIKE.
The County Commissioners
of the respective Counties of
Darlington and Florence appear
to be experiencing some difficul
ty in arriving at a settlement,
of the County line question. As'
both sides are in earnest now,
however, it is probable that
some adjustment of the differ
ences which exist will be reach
ed at an early day. Such a
consummation is as ardently
hoped for by the people of Dar
lington as by those of Florence.
Since the passage of the new
county Act at the last session
of the Legislature, which virtu
ally ended “the war,” all that
any one has striven for is that
Darlington be shown to have
the constitutional area. W©
have the kindliest feelings for
the new county, and can only
repeat the hope that the officers
upon whom this duty devolves
will be able to present to the
General Assembly, when it
meets in a few weeks time, such
a plan for the solution of the
problem relating to the line as
will give satisfaction to all par
ties concerned, and as will ena
ble Darlington and Florence to-
live at peace forever afterwards.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Thursday, November 28, has
been proclaimed by the Presi
dent as Thanksgiving Day and
every one is expected to devote
that day to giving thanks for
the bounteous grace of a divine
Providence. And the better to
perform this, there should ‘ be
recreation and a general rest
from the toil, turmoil and trouble
of the busy world whether in the
sacred retreat of the sanctuary cr
in the blessed peace of the family
circle let there be enjoyed a day
of rest and thanksgiving. Since
there is so much to be grateful
for let the stores be closed and
business suspended for one short
day that every one may “Praise
God from whom all blessings
flow.”

Death of a Journalist.
Mr. D. D. Evans, the former
editor and proprietor of The
Darlington News, died at Dar
lington on Friday the 25th ult.,
in the 42d year of his age. He
was popular and public spirited,
and never seemed more happy
than when engaged in some
work to promote the public
good. Cut down as he was, in
the prime of life, it is hard to
estimate the loss to the County
and State his death brings. He
will be sorely missed by a large
circle of friends and admirers.-
Bishopville Eagle.
Editing Under Difficulties'
A Tennessee editor gives this
account of the difficulties under
which he labors: “How is it
that our readers expect us out
here, twelve miles from a rail
road, twenty-five miles from a
river, twenty-five from a city,
millions of miles from heaven,
about two miles from the devil
and only two hundred yards
from a whisky shop, to get out
a newsy, lively and interesting
paper?”—Bock Hill Herald.
“The Taming of the Shrew ”
Postmistress Hattie R. Com
mander, who appears to be pro
prietor of the “she-bang” store
in the postoffice building, was
expelled from the Colored Far
mers’ Alliance at this place
Thursday evening last for
“raising a disturbance,” “tel
ling lies” and “merchandising.”
