Howe, Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina, made his annual visi tation to the Darlington Mission yesterday, preaching at eleven o’clock in the morning, and af terwards administering Holy Communion. Services were again held at night, when the Rev. W. A. Guerry preached, and the Bishop conferred the rite of Confirmation upon three candidates. Rev. John 0. Willson, the new Presiding Elder for Flor ence District, filled the pulpit of the Methodist Church last Sun day morning and night. Dar lington was Mr. Willson’s first charge after admission into the ministry and the large congre gations which greeted him at both services on Sunday were beautiful tributes to the devotion and esteem that his high char acter and earnest Christian spirit has impressed upon the hearts of our people. In fact the church was so crowded dur ing the morning service that many could not gain admit tance. The Death ot Mr Eli Windham On Monday last Mr. Eli Wind ham, who lives at Windham- town, came to his death very suddenly and under unusual cir cumstances. Mr. C. M. Jordan, who is the son-in-law of Mr. Windham, was the only person near the scene at the time and his account of the occurrance is substantially as follows: Mr. Windham was endeavoring to evict Mr. Jordan from a house and had already removed some of the furniture and was in the act of removing a trunk. Mr. Jordan, was on the piazza and on hearing a noise as if some one had fallen, returned into the house and found Mr. Windham lying beside the trunk and showing no signs of life whatever. After trying in vain to relieve him, Mr. Jordan sought assistance and on fur ther examination Mr. Windham was found to be dead. Coronor R. G. Parnell held an inquest over the body on the same day, and the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased had come to his death from natural causes. The Board numbers among its large membership most of the solid business men of the town. That the purpose of the organi zation is to leave no stone un turned to develop the many ad vantages and resources of Dar lington is evident from the earn est and enthusiastic manner in which the members have taken the matter in hand. The work will be vigorously prosecuted and untold benefits will doubt less redound to the common in terest of all. At a meeting held on Monday night a committee, consisting of Messrs. Geo. W. Brown, J. J. Ward and J. C. Willcox, which had been previously appointed to draft appropriate resolutions on the death of Hon. Jefferson Davis, presented the following, which was unanimously adopt ed : Whereas by the dispensation of an inscrutable but all-wise Providence, Jefferson Davis, late President of the Confederate States has been removed hence by death and Whereas this the Darlington Board of Trade in accordance with resolutions adopted by this body, duly observed the solemn rites which, throughout this Southland, on the day of his fu neral obsequies betokened the universal grief of a country in mourning, and Whereas, we desire to give further recognition to his worth as a man who dedicated his life to truth, thereby illustrating the best type of Southern man hood as a soldier, as a citizen and as the chosen ruler of a high born, chivalric and patriotic people,- and that some measure of our veneration for his cherish ed memory may become of per manent record in the archives of this Board. Now Therefore be it Resolved, That in retrospect- ing his long and useful life our r minds are Quickened with ad miration and our lives impelled to higher purpose by his un swerving fidelity to principle, his uncompromising adherence to truth, and his fearless sup port of the dictates of right and justice under all conditions of fate and fortune. That his valor as a soldier, his broad and lib eral statesmanship, his unobtru sive merit as a citizen, his care ful regard for the limitations of power as the great war Execu tive of the Southern States, his patient and friendly dignity in retirement, all mark him out as a spotless exemplar to the youth of our land. That we will imi tate his virtues and hold in grate ful remembrance his services and sufferings for the great con stitutional principle of State Soverneignty. Resolved, That we desire spe- cally to record our gratitude for the lasting and irrefutable vindication of the South by his masterly argument, “The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Gov ernment”—a vindication so com plete that it will live as a bul- waik of constitutional -freedom when the old fires of hate have burned their last fires on either side of Mason and Dixon’s line— a vindication proud in the glad proclamation that it will earry down the ages to the generations to come that their sires were not traitors but true and loyal to the eternal principles of patriot- m and right. Resolved, That these resolu tions be transcribed on our min ute book and a copy of the same with fitting expression of our earnest sympathy be transmit ted to the family of the deceas ed.
