VOL. XVI. NG 4. DARLINGTON, S. 0., THURSDAY, JANUARY 23. 1890. WHOLE NO 784. LOO-AJL ITEIIMIS- l Several parties report that they felt an earthquake shock at this place, at 6.45 o’clock, Wednesday evening of last week. The shock was f61t at the same hour in other parts of the State. A rumor has become current in Darlington that the Atlantic Coast Line has purchased the Hartsville Railroad, but those who are in position to speak au thoritatively emphatically deny the report. At the annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Bank of Darlington, held on January 14, Capt. W. C. Coker, who has been temporary President for some time past,' was elected perma nent President. The other offi cers and the Board of Directors remain the sanje as heretofore. On January 6th, Mr. Samuel R. Suggs, who lives in the Phil adelphia neighborhood, had a difficulty with a negro named Haywood Fordville. The result was that Mr. Suggs was cut by Fordville, eight wounds being inflicted upon his person. Ford ville was allowed a preliminary hearing before Trial Justice C. P. Dargan, last week, and was bound over to appear before the Sessions Court. His bond which was quickly given, is $300. An excursion is now being run over the Atlantic Coast Line to Charleston and return for the benefit of those wishing to attend the poultry show now in progress at that city. The sale of tickets commenced oa Monday and they may be ob tained until to-morrow and are good to return until Monday next. The price of tickets for the round trip (including one admission into the poultry show) from Darlington is $4.25 ; from Palmetto, $4.10; Floyd’s $4.45 ; Doves, $4.55, and Society Hill $4.75. On Friday night, about eight o’clock the stmble and barns, three buildings in all, on Mrs. A. C. Spain’s place, six miles below Darlington, were com pletely destroyed by fire. When Mr. R. L. Bass, who occupies the remises, discovered the fire the ames had made such headway that it w as impossible to exting uish them. The buildings, which were not insured, were valued at about $200. Mr. Bass lost over four hundred bushels of corn and a large quantity of rough feed, which he had stored in the barns. The fire is sup posed to have been the act of an incendiary and Julius F. John- son, colored, who lives near the place, has been arrested and lodged in jail on the charge of haruig eonu&itted (he deed. mm THOWPSOH, local Editor. Mr. John D. Baird is on a brief visit to his former home, Talladega, Alabama. The Jury Commissioners met on last Tuesday and arranged the names in the jury box for current year. The town seems to be infest ed with chicken thieves. Many complain of losses from their pilfering. The cold wave seems to have reached Darlington and we are now experiencing some genuine winter weather. D. E. Hydrick, Esq. , of Spar tanburg, has been visiting friends in Darlington during the past week. Messrs. Joye & Sanders are now occupying Dr. J. S. Gar ner’s new residence on Broad Street. Mr. G. Walter Lewis has re signed his position at Mr. J. G. McCall’s store and is now farm ing near Timmonsville. Messrs. C. N. Oats & Bro., of Oats, made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors on Saturday. Mr. L. E. Watford has been appointed assignee. Capt. J. C. Blackwell is com pletely renovating the old Brun son residence, in Springville, which he has recently purchas ed. For some time past several cotton buyers from other parts have been in Darlington on bu siness connected with their vo cation. On the completion of the re- iairs now being made upon the .aouse on Pearle Street, lately owned by Mr. L. E. Williamson, Rev. J. G. Law will occupy it. A little colored boy, whose name has not been ascertained, had his foot badly crushed at the depot a few days since, by a heavy piece of iron falling upon it. Mr. J. H. Gaines, with his in defatigable energy, hauled over four hundred bales of cotton to the depot last week in less than two days. This fact speaks for itself. The residence of Mr. C. Moon ey on the east side of Main Street is being removed to the lot ad joining the Baptist Church yard on the opposite side of the street. The public are bear in mind that ance for the benefit of the Uni farm Rank, Knights of Pythias, will be given in the Opera House on Friday evening of next week, Jan. 31st. A full programme will be published in our nexi issue. Violet Robinson, an aged colored woman, died at the resi dence of her daughter, Hannah Robinson, near the Mineral Spring, on Monday night. Maum Violet lived most of her life in the family of her former owner, Col. H. G. Charles, where the family were raised up under her kindly care, and to the last they were her friends, feeling for her that peculiar attachment which existed between the servants and children of the old regime. One by one the landmarks Of those good old days pass away, taking with them all that made the sunshine of an association much misunderstood, and which has now gone forever. requested to I carriage house and a new phae- the perform- j ton, together with some feed that was in the building, was burned. A part of the fencing was destroyed and some miscel laneous articles, such as paints, etc., which had been stored in the stable, were also consumed. A cow was badly burned, but it is thought that it will live. The loss is estimated at $250 ; there was no insurance on any of the burned property, except on the fencing. The fire is supposed to have been of an incendiary ori gin. A Promotion Weil Merited. It will be gratifying for every one in Darlington to know that Mr. J. T. Parnell has been ap pointed agent of the Cheraw & Darlington Railroad at this place and it is a pleasant duty that we have to announce the appoint ment. Mr. Parnell has merited and won the esteem of the en tire community and we feel cer tain that in his higher position he will sustain his past reputa tion for promptness and faith fulness to duty. He took offi cial charge of the office on Mon day and he has our congratula tions. A Fire in Timmonsville. Reports come from Timmons ville of a severe conflagration at that place, which occurred about half-past one o’clock Sunday morning. Five buildings, name ly, H. L. Morris’ store, M. L. Kuker’s bar and stables, the old Byrd Hall, and a house used as a drug store, were consumed by the flames. The warehouse on the Kuker place was almost en tirely • destroyed. The whole block from Morris’ corner to the market is reduced to ashes. The fire is supposed to have origina ted in Mr. Morris’ store. The citizens of Timmonsville made strenuous efforts to subdue the flames, but not until it wrought its work of destruction could the fire be gotten under control. The loss is roughly estimated at $14,000 and the insurance at $8,000. —” Thj State’s Wards. The County Examining Board of Pensions and the County Pen sion Commissioners had a joint meeting on Monday and passed upon applications for pensions. The applications of the follow ing were approved: Abaline Kelly, Hannah Anderson, An na Dampier, Susannah Best, Mera A. Severance, D. J. Har ris, Mary Williamson and Har mon Jones. The applications will be forwarded to Columbia for approval by the State Board. During the past year there were fifty pensioners residing in Dar lington, two of whom, however, have died. Should the applica tions of the above named par ties be approved, the total num ber of pensioners, therefore, in this County for the coming year will be fifty-six. TkeTowu Council. This body met in the Town Hall on Monday night and trans acted much business of impor tance. It was decided that, in the future, accounts of every de scription shall be approved or disapproved in open council and not by the finance committee as heretofore. All the officers of last year were re-elected except Marshal W. A. Carter who has been superceded by MV. J. C. Windham. The Council also took some laudable steps in the direction of retrenchment and reform. The whole paid fire department has been eliminated, with the exception of the engi neer, whose services w ill be re tained. But the most important transaction was the reduction of the town tax from five to three mills, which had been found to be feasible since the enactment of the high license. Thp joyful tidings of this reduction will be received by the tax payers of Darlington as a harbinger of good fortune and, as such, will meet with the approval of every one. Fire ! Fire ! ! About 1.45 yesterday morning the stable upon the premises of Mrs. I. Lewenthal, on Cashua Street, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was quickly given and the town bell sound ed and in a very short time a goodly number of citizens had left their comfortable beds and repaired to the scene of the con flagration. The fire department, too, responded promptly. But there was nothing to be done, however, as the fire had gained such headway, that it was im possible to save the building. A vigilant watch was kept to see that thehouses in close proximity were saved from the flames. Thaftabl^VM also used as a The New York Comedy Company. During the past week Dar lington has had the good for tune to be entertained by an un usually good company, which played at the Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The New York Come dy Company indeed won the praise of all who witnessed them act. On the first night they ren dered Annie Pixley’s charming comedy “M’Liss.” Miss Alma Deane Russell as “M’Liss, the Mountain Queen” was very good and her personation of this wild western girl pleased everyone. Mr. Jos. McDonald, “YubaBill,” was greeted with much applause, and Mr. Charles W. Russell, act ing the part of “Judge Beese- vinger,” literally brought down the house “according to the sta toots.” While this comedy was ren dered well, “Lost in-London,” which was played the second night, was performed in a much superior manner. In this play Miss Alma Deane Russell, as “Nellie Armroyd,” again showed her talent to great ad vantage. Miss Sibber as “Tid- dy” did well also. Mr. Charles W. Russell as the heavy villian and Mr. Jos. McDonald as the husband of “Nelly Armroyd” performed admirably. But Mr. Geo. Woods, as “Blinkers,” ;he English groom, completely captured the audience. The entertainment that night ended with a farce, “Locked up in the Jury,” that made the hall ring with laughter. On the third j night a pretty little coined’ j styled “True Irish Hearts” was I well acted by the company and everyone was pleased with it. \ On the whole the New York Oomedy Company made quite a "avorable impression upon our leople. They have promised to return at an early day and we sincerely trust that they will. A Letter from Mrs Jeff Tson Davis. The following letter, address ed to the Darlington Board of Trade, was received recently Vom Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in response to the resolutions adop ted by the Board, expressing re gret for the death of our late chieftain and extending sympa- ;hy to the bereaved family, which were forwarded to this most es- ;imable lady : Beauvoir House, ) January 8th, 1890. / Gentlemen: The Resolutions of the Board of Trade of Darlington have >een received, and I cannot with- lold my Expression of grateful acknowledgement that while' you do justice to my husband’s moral and mental powers, you also commend his wise use of them and accept the exposition of his political creed as your own faith.

The resolutions referred to have already been published in fnll in The Darlington News. The letter from Mrs. Davis will be framed by the Board for fu ture preservation. o— Signor Bosco. . This famous magician will open a three nights engagement at the Opera Hall this (Thurs day) evening in a series of grand gift entertainments. Bosco is is one of the really few modern masters of the art mysterious. His feats are performed with wonderful skill, while a vein of humor prevails that adds bril liancy to the entertainment. One of the striking features of his engagement will consist in the distribution of 100 elegant and costly presents among the audience each evening. Every one stands an equal chance of getting a nice present, as no fa vors are shown and the manner of distribution is perfectly fair to all. The prices of admission have been reduced to 35cts; Re served seats, 50cts ; Children, 25cts. Reserved seats on sale at usual place. adv. Malarial Fever is caused by Microbes.
