Jjarlington JJfm HENRY T. THOMPSON, Editor. THURSDAY, JAN. 23, 1890. £ditoriiil Notes. The grip still rages and people in the Northern cities are dyir < in great numbers. A new cabinet has been form- ep in Spain, all the members of which are Free Traders. The Legislature of Georgia has made the 19th of January, Gen. R. E. Lee’s birthday, a le gal holiday. A boiler attached to a saw mill, a few miles from Barnwell C. H., exploded last week, kill ing one man and wounding four others. All Europe is excited over a quarrel between England and Portugal about some African P ossessions. It now looks as if ortugal will give in. Hon. Calvin S. Brice, who was chairman of the National Democratic Ccmmitee during the campaign of 1888, has been elected United States Senator from Ohio. A resolution has been intro duced in the Mississippi Legisla ture praying Congress to repeal the 15th Amendment to the Con stitution, which gives the ne gro the right to vote. Walker Blaine, the eldest son of James G. Blaine and an offi cial in the State Department, died on January 15, of pneumo nia, which followed an attack of the grip. Mr. Marshal Field, of Chica go, has given ten acres of land, valued at $100,000, as a site for the proposed great Baptist Uni versity. This completes the $1,000,000 which will be requir ed to build the institution. The Florence Tobacco Manu facturing Company was organ ized in that town last week. The greater part of the capital stock nas been subscribed. There little doubt but that the factory will be built. Mr. Charles McCafferty, of Columbia, who is well know n in these parts, was carried before a trial justice on Thursday last upon the charge of making an assault recently on J. W. King, in that city. Mr. McCafferty waived an examination and g ave bond in the sum of $300 for is appearance before the Ses sions Court.

As the result of the discussion it was decided that a brief address be prepared and sent to Confed erates throughout the State, of fering them the privilege of subscribing to this testimonial of love for their dead chieftain’s memory. Col. Young stated that the scheme for raising mon ey by means of the Davis Land Company was not agreeable, up on reflection, to the leading Con federates of the South, and that, after consultation with several prominent gentlemen at New Orleans regarding the matter, an effort had been made to get Mrs. Davis to accept the funds direct.

In Abbeville County, on Friday, Jim Holmes killed Ike Butler in a quarrel. Both parties were colored. On Saturday, in the city of Green ville, Henry Charles, white, killed a drunken negro named Wash Cannon. The Tatter hom icide is said to have been in self- defence. Elmer Freed, Silas Tracy, Charles Wilson and Alexander Wilson, of Goldstone, Illinois, were drowned in a stream near Burlington, Illinois, on Satur day night. They started for a dance, but their team became unmanageable and backed the wagon over the bank and broke through the ice. Both horses were drowned.* Ex-Secretary Whitney still clings to Mr. Cleveland. He says: “It’s too early to antici pate what 1892 will bring forth, but I must say the feeling in fa vor of Ex-President Cleveland is very strong, and if it contin ues to increase nothing can pre vent his renomination. If any- thuig, I believe Mr. Cleveland is more popular with the masses to-day than he wa ; in ’84.” . Charles Tally, white, who married a negro woman in the District of Columbia, is now liv ing in Georgia and he claims that his marriage was a legal contract and that the State of Georgia cannot declare such a contract void. The case has been carried to the United States Circuit Court of that State. However, the couple say they are anxious to leave Georgia as the people are making matters too warm for them. A motion has been made in the United States Supreme Court to advance on the docket the fa mous Clemson will case, in which is involved the question of Jhe State of South Carolina obtain- ing possession of the property for the establishment of the Agricultural College, so that it may be decided by that Court at an early day.

During the past year one new road has been constructed in Darlington County, and matters have pro gressed so far with two others under contemplation that, in all probability, the close of the will see them al- We strongly advocated Darling ton’s being made’a terminus of the Hartsville road, and we still believe that the day is not far distant when our people will have sore cause to regret their indifference and inaction in this matter. For a long time past, the cherished scheme of those favoring a new railroad for Dar lington has been to find a North ern outlet by connecting with the Cape Fair and Yadkin Val ley at Bennettsville. This plan would, of course, necessitate the co-operation of our Marlboro cousins,.as the expense of span ning the Pee Dee with a rail road bridge and trestle would be too enormous to admit of its be ing defrayed by the people of one County alone. Our friends across the river, always possessing the kindliest feelings for Darlington, have signified their willingness to further the contemplated connection as sooi as the scheme should material ize. We then jogged along quietly, pursuing, as usual, the “even tenor of our way,” undisturbed by the many “newspaper rail roads” which were being drawn in every direction across the face of the Pee Dee Section, but calm ly and contentedly awaiting de velopments. The first of these came sooner than we expected in the shape of information to the effect that the Atlantic Coast Lino would positively construct its long talked of spur from Bennettsville to Society Hill. This outlet would be all suffi cient for Bennettsville, and since the Coast Line is able to defray a very considerable portion of the cost of construction, their proposition of course, obtains an easy hearing. As a natural result, the people of Bennetts ville have heartily endorsed the project; they are putting their money into it, and before a year has elapsed we may reasonably expect to See the road built, and thus Darlington will again lose a valuable connection, and a strong ally, upon whom, for some time past, she has been strongly counting for assistance in this matter. The second “development” has just been announced, name ly, that theEutawville Railroad, now known as the Charleston, Sumter and Northern, will run to Cheraw by a “bee-line” from Sumter, tapping the most impor tant agricultural section of Dar lington County, and diverting from the court house a large portion of the traffic which has been its mainstay since it be came a settled community. The day that th is happens the doom of Darlington, will be sealed The question once was, “What shall we do to induce the Eutawville Railroad to come by Darling ton ?” The Darlington News many months ago sonnded this maining fo^* us Is, we do to offset tL5s which the trade of the town will receive ?” We should consider it carefully as men consider when revolving in their minds a case of life and death, and should arrive at our conclusion prompt ly, else the community now “blossoming like a rose” will be shortly turned into “a howling wilderness.” There are many of our leading men who are op posed to any other railroad com ing to Darlington, and who rely upon our fine back country for the support of the town. Can they not realise that, in permit ting the new roads to tap these fertile regions without coming to Darlington, a large portion of our trade will be lost to us for ever, and that with such an out look before us the day is not far distant when Darlington will be regarded as the “back coun try” of some neighboring town ? In the case of nearly every town in South Carolina which has prospered during the past ten years, its improvement has been due to new railroads, while those towns which have not received these facilities are slowly sink ing into the peaceful slumbers of oblivion. To those who real ize this, but who rely calm ly upon the past and present prosperity of our town to sus tain us in any emergency, believ ing firmly that all “things come to those who wait,” we would simply say that in this race for advancement help is given only those who help themselves. The time has^come for action ! ac tion ! action! Unless we act, Darlington will soon be choked off on every side, and her indus tries will lapse into such a condi tion of “innocuous desuetude” that “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and Goldsmith’s song of “The Deserted Village” com bined and boiled down into one would present but a faint con ception of our want of life and our business lethargy. alone amply repa; expense an the enterprise. It is worth ten thousand dollars to demonstrate that such crops can be really pro-, duced on one acre. The award of the wheat prizes in this issue, as promised, compels us to put over until the March number the wonderfully interesting compar ison of the corn crops and the award of the corn prizes in full. It is due our readers, however, that the yield of the three lar gest crops be no longer withheld. The American Agriculturist rand prize of $500 in gold will e awarded toZachariah Jordan Drake, of Marlboro, S. C. He will also receive a similar prize from the South Carolina depart ment of agriculture, as this en tor- prising oody offered to duplicate our prize if it was taken in that State. Mr Drake’s crop of corn on the ear from the exa^t contest acre weighed 17,407 pounds. The average of three tests,by as many witnesses, was that 100 pounds of this corn contained only eigh teen pounds of cob. Consequently the gross weight named contain ed 14,2731 pounds of shelled corn. At fifty-six pounds to the bushel, the crop was within a fraction of 255 bushels (exactly 254 bush els, 481 pounds) of shelled com on one acre. But this was the green weight as taken from the field.

McBryde, this crop was remark ably dry, as'were all the corn crops in South Carolina. The shelled corn contained only 15 percent of water. We find, there fore, that the 255 bushels of shelled corn contained 217 bush els of actual dry matter in the kernals, without any water whatever. On the basis of 10 percent water for thoroughly crib-cured old corn or kiln-driod corn the yield was 239 bushel* of shelled corn. Summary of the American Agriculturist grand prize crop on one acre : Shelled corn, green, 255 bushels; crib-cured, 239bushels; dry matter in the kernals, (no water whatever,) 217 bushels. The second largest crop was g rown by Alfred Rose, Yates ounty, New York. His yield was 15,898 pounds of corn on the ear, averaging 26 per cent cob, or 213 bushels of shelled corn green weight; 191 bushels crib-cured, and 174 bushels of actual dry matter. The third largest crop was grown by George Gartner, Paw- A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. The News and Courier desires to publish an elaborate descrip tive article on the resources, in stitutions, and possibilities of our town. It is promised that this article will be more com plete than any review ever pub lished of any town in the State. It will contain full statistical in formation concerning our indus- dustries, commercial and social institutions, and the resources of the surrounding country. It will be embellished with por traits of our most distinguished citizens, and cuts of our schools, churches, public buildings, fac tories, business houses, &c. Such an article will be of inestimable value, as we have no descrip tive pamphlet of our town, and it is to be hoped that every en couragement will be given the News and Courier in this praise worthy enterprise. There is much hero that we wish others to know. We have advantages which, if known to the world, would doubtless at tract investment and population We must not be behind time in putting ourselves before the country. We are rich in a grand climate, fertile fields, and mag nificent forests. We have enough and more, and we want others to divide our fair heritage. In schools and churches, and the social blessings which beautify and enoble life, we have much of which we are proud. We would have the world know all this, and more of which we have not spoken. From every section of the country a shower of gold is fall ing upon the South, and the tide of emigration is setting our way. But “it is the early bird which catches the worm.” The towns of the old “Palmetto State” have awakened to a realization of their possibilities, and are ad vertising their resources for all they are worth. They are offer ing every inducement for invest ment and population. Again we say that if Darlington is to reach the full measure of her prosperity, she must not neglect her opportunities. Again we ex press the hope that this chance will not be wasted. nee County, Nebraska, his gross weight of corn on the ear being 11,380 pounds. It averaged only 16 per cent cob, or 171 bushels green weight, 151 bushels crib- cured and 137 bushels of dry matter. The fractions are omit ted in all these data. These crops break the world’s record. The largest yield pre viously recorded was 200 bushels of shelled corn, green weight alleged to have been grown by Dr. J. W. Parker, not far from Columbia, South Carolina, in 1857, and its accuracy has been S uestioned. But there is no oubt as to the complete honesty of these crops in the American Agriculturist prize crop compe tition. Judgment should be suspended by the unbelieving until they read in the American Agriculturist for March how these most unprecedented crops were grown, and the great pre cautions that were taken to secure absolute honest and faithful accuracy. Certainly, the complete sum mary of the prize corn crops and the full award of premiums in the March number of the Amer ican Agriculturist will be await ed with intense interest. The considerable number of 100 bush els per acre, with the practical details of culture and the scien tific investigations connected with the corn class of the Amer ican Agriculturist prize crop competition, must make the forthcoming issue of this mag azine an original contribution to progressive agriculture that will be of inestimable benefit to American farmers. The results in the American Agriculturist competition will never be equal led so far as corn is concerned, but, if its lessons are made use of, our corn product per acre will be very largely increased, and the farmers’ profits corres pondingly enhanced. We may add also that the superb showing made by South Carolina will not be dimmed by the complete record of her con test corn crops. She has shown what can be accomplished in the agriculture of the New South. South Carolina’s enterprise will not only be rewarded many thou sand fold but she has encouraged her farmers to make a showing that will be worth veritable mil lions to her sister States. lose. 1 handled every them days—monte, is short earos and everything you want ed to bet om.

An Exception to the Rnle [Editorial Columbia Register ] The Board of County Com missioners of Marion County have issued a formal protest and petition against the grant of a Congressional appropriation for opening the navigation of Little Pee Dee River above Gallivant’s Ferry. This very remarkable exception to the general run of petitions on such subjects is based on the ground that navi gation is impracticable and the County will be put to the cost of $15,000 or $20,000 for draw bridges. Nowadays Congressmen seem to be chosen specially with ref erence to their ability to get ap propriations out of the national treasury, and Congressman Dar- gan will doubtless create a sen sation when he presents this protest.

Cotton Bays A great deal of interest is be ing felt in the use of cotton sacks for fertilizers, corn, oats, etc. There is no trouble about the use of cotton to hold grain and all other goods of that kind, but for fertilizers cotton sacks are in a great measure a complete failure. For dry mixed fertiliz ers, such as are usually made by small mills by mixing cotton seed meal, kainit and acid, the cotton sack will answer, be cause the cotton seed meal and kainit absorb the acid suffi ciently to prevent its cutting the cotton.

He is usually an employe about the wells, and nine cases out of ten a man of experience and intelligence, but he will persist in taking the chances in paying a visit now and then to some gas enveloped tank, carrying his lighted lautern with him. The result isn’t always dis astrous, but that isn’t tho fault of the man with the lantern. Usually an explosion results. If a destructive fire does not follow the explosion the fact will be without precedent Some times the cause of a fire of this kind will not be quite certain at first, but it only needs a roll call of the employes of that particular property and the taking of an accouat of tho tool house stock to ascertain the cause. There will be one employe short, and the number of lanterns will bo less by one. Then it is known that tho mar with the lantern has been walking.
