Florence District-
The following appointments
The following interesting let
ter received from one of the
directors of the Cheraw & Dar

der date of November 21, will
furnish pleasant reading matter
for the people of Darlington :
“You will be gratified to know
that at a meeting of the Board
of Directors of the C. & D. Rail
road Company it was unani
mously decided to give Darling
ton a new depot—one in every
way worthy of the enterprise
and patronage of the leading
town in eastern South Carolina.
The meeting was held to-day at
Florence. Mr. H. Walters, Gen
eral Manager, and Capt. J. F.
Divine, General Superintendent,

tion. If the business men of

location, now is the time to con
fer with the construction Com
mittee and effect it. There was
also a meeting of the stockhold
ers, who elected the following
officers: President, A. F. Rav-
enel; Directors, W. T. Walters,
B. F. Newcomer, Thos. Frost,

esteemed correspondent
"ho forwards an interesting
communication this week with
Bis initials signed will
please follow the invariable rule
required in newspaper offices
dno send us his full name, not
or publication, but only for the
^formation of the editor.
The New Schedule-
It would be well to note the
recent changes which have been
made on the Northeastern Rail
road and also on the Cheraw &
Darlington Railroad- The train
whieff has been leaving Florence
at 9 A. M now leaves at 10:35 P.
M., arriving at Charleston at
2:41 A. M. instead of 1:30 P. M.
A fast mail train now leaves
Charleston at 4:10 A. M. This
train takes the place of the one,
which heretofore left that city
at 1:20 A. M., and carries the
mail which is brought to
lingto.i on the morning freight.
There is also a fast train which
leaves Florence early in the
morning and reaches Charleston
at 11:08 A. M. Two additional
local trains have also been put
on the road, one leaving Charles
ton at 4 P. M. and arriving at
Florence at 7:40 P. M. and the
other leaving Florence at 9 A.
The rapid advancement of our
town and the spirit of enterprise
which has been infused into our
people have brought into bold re
lief the necessity of united and
concerted action on the part of
the business men of Darlington,
and they have resolved to here
after work shoulder to shoulder
for their common interest and
the general good of the town.
To this end a meeting of the cit
izens was held on Monday night
in the People’s Bank and the or
ganization of a board of trade
was effected. This organiza
tion was only temporary howev
er. E. Keith Dargan, Esq., was
called to the chair and Dr. J. C.
►Wilcox acted as Secretary'. Mr.
Dargan clearly showed to the
meeting the necessity of a board
of trade and J. J. Ward, Esq.,
made some remarks explanatory
of the organization and the
work of such a board. On mo
tion the following committee
was appointed to prepare by
laws and solicit membership :
Dr. J. C. Wilcox and Messrs. J.
J. Ward, J. F. Early and W. F.
Dargan. This committee will
make its report at a meeting to
be held in the Opera House on
Friday, December 6th, at 7:30
P. M.. when a permanent organ
ization will be perfected. The
advantageous results to be de
rived from such an institution
are obvious and every one will
see at a glance that the board,
by its systematic work, will in
fuse new blood into the already
exhilirated spirit of enterprise
which is now pushing Darling
ton forward. For this reason it
is encumbent upon every busi
ness man, who has the interests
of the town at heart, to add to
the influence of the board by
allying himself with it.
FLORENCE-
—The Baptist State Conven
tion convened here yesterday
(Wednesday).
M. and arriving^at Charleston
-Rev. Mr. Guerry left here
on Monday morning for Lincoln-
ton, N. C. He will be away
about ten days.
at 12:30 P. M. The changes on
the Cheraw & Darlington Rail
road are but slight, namely, the
down passenger tram armes at
Darlington at 8:25 A. M. instead
of 8:42 A. M. as heretofore, and
the up freight arrives here at
8:57 A. M instead of 7:45 A. M.
Mr. James Allen and T. C.
Crawford have returned home
from Camden,-.where they were
in attendance on the Methodist
Conference. These gentlemen
are well pleased with the condi
tion of the church and the work
of the late Conference.
•It is very likely that the
town council will petition the
coming Legislature to amend
the charter and make Florence
a “city.”
—The Rev. Bascom Browne
will assume the charge of the
Florence Methodist Church.
The congregation is very for
tunate in having Mr. Brown sent
to this place. He is expected to
preach here the second Sunday
in December.
—Thieves’ tried to effect an
entrance into Geo. Stackley’s
store last Saturday night. Be
ing frightened away they tried
their hand on J. L. Barranger’s
store, but without effect. Sev
eral chicken coops have been
robbed recently.
—The first services were held
in the new Episcopal Church on
last Sunday, The Rector, Rev.
W. A. Guerry, officiated. The
Sacrament of baptism was ad
ministered to two children at 10
o’clock. Morning prayer was
begun at 11 o’clock. *A very
largo and intelligent audience
was present. Mr. Guerry preach
ed a very learned and impres
sive sermon; his theme was
“Eternity.” It was expected
that the Rev. LeGjand Guerry
would administer the Holy Com
munion, but he was unavoida
bly delayed on his route here.
The collections at morning
prayer amounted to $30. The
festival yielded $60 last Thurs
day night. The debt on the
church is $700.
Jewellry of every description,
all first-class goods, at Willcox
& Co’s, drug store.
SOCIETY IMLL.
—There has been a rise in the
river, and Thompson’s Creek is
impassable for a day or so.
—Prof. J. A. Carey has killed
his “Alliance pigs,” aged 13
months; weight 387 and 327
pounds net.
—Our sick folks are all im-
iroving and Mrs. Russell, who
las been so long and exceeding
ly ill, is regaining her strength,
and gradually getting better.
Willie Campbell, too, is slowly
recovering his strength.
—“The combat deepens.’
Messrs. W. C. Coker & Co., hav
ing cleared their decks for ac
tion, commenced the 20th inst.,
to deliver broadside after broad
side of goods at “prime cost”
on a defenceless public who are
rushing to the melee from every
? [uarter, surprised and dumb-
ounded. The other stores are
looking on aghast, while the
“Rackets” are completely de
moralized.
The hot supper on Friday
night, the 22nd inst., was very
much of a success. Every one
seemed to enjoy the occasion,
and how could they help it amid
so much of youth and beauty ?
Society Hill “is hard to beat”
when she goes it single handed,
but on this occasion Dovesville
united hands with her. The lat
ter’s representatives, Misses
Dove, Sumner, Traylor, De-
Lorme and Coleman, escorted
by Messrs. Leon Dove, Claude
Gandy and Thos. Sumner added
very much to the pleasure of the
th<
evening. When the supper was
‘ 3d the young folks adjourn
ed to the residence of Major
Winters, and there “chased the
golden hours with flying feet.”
Our little town has been
greatly moved by the announce
ment that Mr. J. Z. Hearon in
tends to leave us on December
15. His family will follow him
next spring. There is universal
regret among all classes on this
account. Mr. Hearon is too well
known as a thoroughly capable
and well trained business man,
with few equals anywhere, to
need any encomium from ouf
pen. But only those who have
enjoyed his personal friendship
know to what extent he has free
ly given his abilities, and time
in heloinsr others. His famil
helping others. His family,
too, have added so much to the
social charms, and happiness of
our community, that it is hard
to realize that we are to lose
them. We sincerely wish them
the full measure of joy and hap
piness in their new home. A
number of other changes are in
contemplation, which will be
announced in due time. We are
very despondent about it and
perfer to give it in broken doses
lest we be not able to stand it.
asHLAND.
—Miss Katie McKinnon
teaching at Rock Hill.
—Oat^are looking exceeding
ly fine in this section.
—Some of the young cotton of
this part of the county seems to
be very slow about opening.
Some persons doubt whether the
bolls will ever open.
—Mr. Wesley Moore, accom
panied by his wife arid daugh
ters, arrived home last Saturday,
after spending several days in
Wilmington, N. C., audits vi
cinity. They report having had
a very pleasant trip.
—Last Friday night when Mr.
Luther A. Moore’s wagoner re
turned from town about nine
o’clock, he found two negroes,
Sam Watkins and Geo. Leach
in the barn. They claimed that
Mr. Moore sent them there to
feed the stock for him. The wag
oner went into the store, and on
inquiring, he ascertained that
they had not been sent at all,
but were doubtless there for the
purpose of stealing peas, so a
crowd went out to see where
they could be found ; but they
had fled to a shanty about a
quarter of a mile away. A
crowd followed them to the
shanty and arrested them, and
took them to the store to decide
what should be done with them.
About 2 o’clock in the morning
they confessed and implored
very piteously for mercy. The
crowd who had them in charge
decided to spare them if they
would pay $10 each, which they
cheerfully agreed to do, where
upon they were released.

in properly housing them and
thus keep them from rotting.
