Fob rent, a desirable business stand located, on the Public Square; see the advertisement of Dargan & Thompson in an other column. Mb. F. J5. Norment’s Jiost of friends are glad to find that he is able to be on the streets again and all gave him a hearty wel come. Some of the citizens of the town are considering the advis ability of erecting a cotton com press in Darlington at an early day. An important meeting of the stockholders of the Darlington Agricultural and Mechanical Fair Company will be held on Saturday. Mr. C. W. ^Hewitt has com menced work upon the front to his new stores, which will be of galvanized iron and which promises to present a fine appear ance. There has been a tremendous rise in the price of cotton recent ly and in this market middling cotton is bringing 101. This is a rise of I of a cent in about two weeks. Mbssrs. Dargan & Lide will, within the next few days, re move their book store to the stand between Dr. Boyd’s phar macy and Mr. A. Nachman’s store. Mb. J. Furman Dargan, a for mer Darlingtonian, who was for some time principal of the insti tute at Gaffney City, Spartan burg County, has been elected principal of the public schools at PicKens, S. C. Communion will be adminis tered in the Presbyterian Church next Sunday morning immedi ately after the regular services. A. service preparatory to this will be held in that church on Saturday at 11.30 A. M. Remember that Wednesday night at the Opera House will be given an entertainment for the benefit of the Unifonn Divi sion, Knights of Pythias. All members of the Order and every one who wishes to enjoy a treat hould by all means attend. John A. Kelly, Esq., of Kingstree, who is well known in Darlington, has removed with his family to Florence, where he will in the future reside. He will not only practise law here after, in his new home, but will also continue to practise in Kingstree. Mr. J. L. Coker, Jr., is about to establish a pulp factory at Hartsville and has already pro cured the necessary machinery from New York. A branch track is being built from the Harts ville Railroad to Black Creek, where the factory will be loca ted. An important meeting of the Darlington Sub-Alliance will be held in the Court House next Saturday at 3 P. M., when among other matters of impor tance, the bids that have been obtained from the merchants of Darlington for furnishing the Alliance with supplies for the coming year, will be considered. Julius F. Johnson, colored, vho is charged with burning he barn and other buildings on Ifrs. A. C. Spain’s place, was J be- _ San- lers on Thursday. He was re- sommitted to jail to ^wait his rial at the approaching term of he Sessions Court. A short time ago Mr. W. H. fidwood, of Liverpool, Eng- Messrs. Dargan & Lide have been appointed local agent for the American Bible Society and will, in the future, be the only firm in Darlington that will handle the publications of that Society. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. C. N. Oats & Bro. was held in the office of Messrs. Net tles & Nettles, Attortieys at Law, on Tuesday, when it was found that the liabilities of the late firm are $6,000 and the nominal assets $7,000. In speaking of the most prom inent exhibits at the poultry and pet show, had in Charleston last week, the News and Courier says : “The pointer pup entered by Walter I. Harby, of SunTter, also constituted the centre of an admiring circle. This dog is from the well-known dam, ‘Dai sy J.,’ owned by Mr. Manigault James, of Darlington, one of the best known breeders in this State.” Revival Services. Rev. R. G. Pearson, the popu lar and noted revivalist, has ac cepted an invitation, extended to him by the pastors of the town, to visit Darlington, and has promised to be with us on the third Sunday in November. Mr. Pearson has conducted evan gelical meetings in many parts of South Carolina and has every where made a most favorable impression, in fact he is so much in demand that it is impossible for him to make an earlier ap pointment for Darlington. None of the details of the meeting have yet been arranged, but the ser vices will be inter-denomination* al and will probably continue for some time. Among relig ious circles the coming of Mr. Pearson is looked forward to with much pleasure. Signor liosco. As was announced in our last issue Signor Bosco gave exhibi tions of his slight of hand skill at the Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. His performances were good but were hardly above the aver age. Nor was there any mate rial change in his programme for the several nights, although he promised to give a different per formance each time, and in this there was some disappointment. A large audience greeted him every night and the distribution of the presents afforded much amusement and most every one seemed to enjoy the perform ance. Ifrs. A. C. Spain’s place, v {iven a preliminary hearing 'ore Trial Justice H. E. P. S; ad, who represented a large tton firm of that great mart, is in Darlington for the pur se of buying I stay here he ' cotton. During i stay here he purchased seven ndred bales, which he shipped -ect to Liverpool, having ob tained at the depot bills of lad ing to that city. One night, a short time ago, while Mr. J. W. Alexander who lives near Cypress, was on his way home from Darlington, his vehicle was stopped on the road by some men for the evident purpose of robbery. Mr. Alex ander escaped from the rogues by severely whipping his horse and thus causing it to dash away- The survey of the line between Darlington and Florence Coun ties was completed on Saturday last, in accordance with a re cent Act of the Legislature. Major George W. Earle was the surveyor for Darlington and Mr. Elihu Muldrow represented Flor ence in the same capacity. The line has been finally determined upon and we trust the question is forever settled. Gen. J. D. Kennedy, of Cam den, who was consul at Shang hai, China, during President Cleveland’s administration, has consented to deliver a lecture on China at this place for the ben efit of the Presbyterian parson age. The date of the address will be given later. Gen. Ken nedy’s well established reputa tion for scholarly attainments promises us a most interesting K- of P. Benelit As already announced, some of our local talent purpose giv ing an entertainment for the benefit of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, the .evening for this entertainment has been postponed to Wednes day next, February 5th. By reference to the programme pub lished in another column, it will be seen that an enjoyable occa sion is promised all who attend, and in order to place the enter tainment within the reach of every one, the popular prices recently established here will prevail. Reserve seats are now on sale at Boyd’s Drug Store. The Order of Knights of Pythias is one of the largest and most useful in the world, and its many charities are already well known to the people of Darling ton. We feel assured, therefore, that the members of the Order will receive on Wednesday night next that hearty endorsement and liberal patronage which they so richly deserve. The Troubles of an Express Asrent. On Saturday night, while Mr. C. D. Evans, the local agent of the Southern Express Company, was riding in his express wagon en route to the depot to meet the passenger train, a party of men caught the reins and held the horse, calling out at the same time “Stop !” Mr. Evans raised his lantern and asked what was wanted and the men thereupon ran. This occurred on Mam Street near the Mul drow shop. Mr. Evans imme diately returned to the Square and reported the matter to the proper authorities, as he pre ferred letting the law proceed in the case. In a very short time three colored persons, whose names are Ed. McBride, John McBride and Lucius Mc- Iver, were arrested for the of fense. The two first confessed that they stopped the wagon, but claimed that they did so by mistake, thinking that it was one in which they intended to ride. Melver was discharged -without a penalty and the other two were fined $5 a piece by the town au thorities. It was clearly proven that Melver had nothing to do with the affair. " , ^ nothing more than this for a pre- ! sage of a bright, successful fu- | ture. That Darlington has this fact to promise her a future of wealth and prosperity there can be no doubt, for real estate within the corporate limits of the town has increased verv recentlyjrom twenty-five to fif ty percent. And this is no boom erang, for it can be proven by facts and figures. For example, on Saturday last, Messrs. McC. Willis and C. S. Nettles pur chased of Mr. A. Nachman the lot on the southwest corner of Pearle Street and the Square, upon which is located the store now occupied by Messrs Lewen- thal & Hennig, for $4,500. This lot extends on Pearle Street to the property of Mr. Martin Han ley and extends back to Mr. Geo. Webb’s restaurant and also comprises the land in the rear of that building. Again, Dr. J. S. Garner and Mr. C. W. Hewitt have pur chased of Col. B. W. Edwards the property in the rear of the lat ter’s residence. This property faces on Broad Street and ex tends back to a line even with the south side of New Street and contains six building lots. The consideration in this case was $1,500. Residences will doubt less be erected upon this proper ty in a short time. Dr. J. S. Uarner has also purchased of Mr. H. M. Smith, for $800, the lot on the corner of Broqd and Main Streets, opposite the Baptist Church, and the lot of Mr. J. T. Bristow on Broad Street, adjoin ing Dr. A. M. Hill’s property, for $400. Dr. J. S. Garner will begin to erect residences upon the Smith lot shortly. Dr. W. J. Garner has bought a part of Mr. McC. Willis’ property on Broad Street for $400, and both he and Mr. Willis will build there very soon. There are other transfers which will be made public later. These will suffice to show the growth of Darling ton, but, as a further evidence, we are reliably informed that a citizen of the town has recently offered to pay $1,600 for a lot which a few years ago was pur chased for only $600. Let her boom! Real Estate Transfers. There is no better index to the progress and j>ush of a town than the increase in the value of —* estate and we can rely on ALLIANCE NOTES MT. ELON, NO. 131. The Alliance held no meeting Saturday evening as the Presi dent had to be away on other business and Mr. E. H. Hearon, the Vice-President, was just recovering from a light attack of pneumonia and was too un well to attend. The spirit, too, for a meeting was not very en thusiastic, because, we suppose, all have made their arrange ments for getting supplies for the year. That will not do Al liance men! Ration time will come again and catch the Alli ance napping as it did some this season. SOCIETY HILL, NO. 133. The Society Hill Alliance met in the village library at 11 A. M. on Tuesday. The subject for discussion was, “Compost.” At the next meeting peas will be pretty thoroughly discussed, as a premium of half a bushel of the “Unknown Pea” has been offered as an incentive to the member who can tell the most about the pea, its nature, culti vation, etc. A premium is also offered to the member who raises the largest number of bushels of corn on one acre (seventy yards square being an acre) and also to the one who has the largest yield of cottou on one acre. The meeting was protracted and very interesting. OATS —The postoffice has been re moved to the store of C. M. Best. —Mr. R. S. Galloway, of Bish- opville, passed through town on Monday last. —Prof. S. H. Zimmerman, a former principal of Union Acad emy, has been in our neighbor hood recently visiting friends. —Miss Anna Mixon, who has been residing in Bishopville for some time past, is now with the family of Mr. C. M. Best at this place. —Mr. Judge Lloyd was se verely kicked on the head by a mule a few days ago, from the results of which he was very sick for some time, but at last accounts he was improving. —We thank the Mt. Elon cor respondent for ihforming us that Mr. J. C. Bell, of Sumter County, has killed a hog that beat ours. But we still hold that we have not yet been beat en, according to the way we stated our proposition,. which was, if any one in Darlington County has killed a heavier hog than Mr. L. E. Watford, we should like to hear from him. Tell the Mt. Elon correspondent to go and come again. SOCIETY HILL. —Capt. T. A. Gandy left for Charleston on business Mon day morning. —Car loads of western corn are coming in for our merchants and it begins to look like busi ness for the next crop. —A considerable number of hands are getting out telegraph poles from the swamps of Junip er Creek, Chesterfield County. —Mr. T. H. Sompayrac was appointed Notary Public some time ago, and with legal forms and the seal of the State is pre pared to execute all business re quiring official endorsement. —Messrs. Spain & Co. have concluded a lease of Mr. J. M. Waddill’s low lands on ’the river for the purpose of making brick. A side track from the Cheraw & Darlington Railroad will be run to the brick yard and work on the yard will commence at once. —Mr. S. K. Carrigan, of Gas ton, Meade County, Kentucky, who shortly after the war re moved and married there, has returned to this place and will fill the position of bookkeeper for his brother, Capt. W. A. Car rigan. Mr. Carrigan is a wid ower and brings with him his only child, Miss Eva, who is a splendid specimen of the Ken tucky girl. We welcome our friend and schoolmate back to his “native heath” and wish for him and his accomplished daugh ter an overflowing cup of pleas ure and happiness. —Our engineers have been busily at work on the survey of the railroad from this point to Bennettsville. The starting point is near the Cedar Creek trestle, and the line runs straight to the river bridge ; from thence it will make a “bee line” to Ben nettsville, making the chord of an arc to the right of the public road, supposing that road to be the arc of a circle which it some what resembles. We sincerely hope our little railroad will not injure Darlington and as it con nects with the Yadkin Valley Railroad it is the very connec tion Darlington wishes. So how can it? The Eutawville road will benefit Hartsville, and there will be general prosperity all over the county, so we say “God speed” to it and prosperity to all our people. Messrs. Dargat & Lide have always on hand a large number of periodicals, among which may be mentioned: Belford, Lippincott, Scribner, Harper, Frank Leslie, North American Review, The Arena, The Cosmo politan, Puck, Judge and others. FLORENCE. —Married, on the 26th inst., at the residence of Mr. W. D. Hines, Mr. Graham Tuberville, of this place, to Miss Jane Dog- get, of Sumter County. —Died, at his late residence in this place, on the 25th inst., after a seven days illness, Mr. George Bethea, aged about 30 years. The interment took place, with masonic honors, at Latta’s, Marion County. —The first term of the Court of Sessions for this County con vened on Monday, the 27th inst., His Honor, Judge Kershaw pre siding. The Court House pro tem is, the Y. M. C. A. Hall, which is over the business house of Messrs. James Allen & Son. The docket contains thirty-five cases, which are likely to be dis posed of during this term. MT. ELON. —The weather is fine but changeable. —Garden peas have come up from two to three inches high. —From the numbet of planta tion bells purchased this season it would seem that- the farmers intend working this year with more system. —Miss Hedges, a young lady from West Virginia, now in charge of the school near Mr. J. D. Howell’s residence, is quite an accomplished lady, and we welcome her among us and com pliment Mr. Howie for having made such a good selection. —Mr. C. B. Rhodes, Jr./while watering his cattle last Sunday evening, sprained his foot just below the ankle. The wound is very painful but we hope not dangerous. However, the good woman, as usual, with the as sistance of Maum Ellen, applied numerous but efficient remedies to ease the pain. We hope to see him out again soon. DOVESVILLE. —Oat crops generally are look ing fine. —Mr. 8. J. Odom has purchased and occupies the Nichols’ place, about one mile from town. At this writing the wind is Ring ng half a gale, the woods i dry as a tinder box, and HK blowin are as . 7 numerous fires may reasonably be expected. —Mr. John Rhodes, while feeding his stock Sunday, re ceived a serious toss up from a butting cow. He sustained in juries of the spine, but we hope not of a dangerous character. —On Saturday night last, dur ing the absence of Mrs. Sarah Stanley, Sr., the mother of our efficient P. M., her cotton house, with various contents to the amount of about fifty dollars, was entirely consumed by fire. —A thief, who was evidently well acquainted with the prem ises, entered the stables J Mr. J. i. Vann, 8r„ one night hut % • 30®? V week and carefully selecting his best mule, hitched it to Mrs. T. E. Howie’s best buggy, about one mile distant, and emigrated to parts unknown. —We have recently traveled nearly all over the county, and are glad to say that we have never seen so much preparatory farm work done and doing this early in the season. If it were not for this indomitable energy and pluck of the “homy handed son,” we would all be “in abad row for stumps.” Knock him down with three succes sive crop failures, and he jumps up with a “dum spiro spero” crow and goes at it again. But after Mr. Drake’s wonderful ex periment who can doubt the re munerative results of properly tickling old mother earth with a plow? —The academy well caught fire one day last week, and might, possibly, have been burned up, had it not been for the prompt arrival upon the scene of the fire brigade, consisting of a cripple nigger with a two toothed rake, who speedily extinguished the all devouring element. For the benefit of the incredulous it might be well to explain that the well had for a long time been used as the receptacle of various kinds of trash and debris and on this occasion the boys had thoughtlessly dumped the ashes from the stoves into the well, which will account for the al most total destruction of the well property. CLYDE —Our Sunday School was or ganized at New Market on the 26th inst., and we hope to have a good school this year. —On the 21st inst., at the res idence of the bride’s father, Mr. Elijah Brown, Miss Queen Elon Brown and Mr. James Hare were united in the bonds of wedlock —A social party was given at the residence of Mr. A. J. Mor rison on the night of the 24th inst. A goodly number of the fair sex was in attendance and the affair was enjoyed immense ly- —Rev. W. A. Wright spent Monday last with some of his congregation at this place, and they together took a hunt in the swamps. Mr. Wright, who is indeed a fine shot, took many birds off the wing. —On the 26th inst.Jthe church at New Market was crowded to hear Rev. A. J. Wilson preach. His text was taken from 12 ch., 11 verse of Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews. He preached a very fine sermon and was listened to attentively by all. —We have some sickness at present in our community. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Caddell is very ill with pneumonia; and the little son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Goodson is ill with the same disease, but under the skilful treatment of Dr. M. G. Lee we hope to see him up in a few days. “Go West!’’ Mr. J. F. Hodge, manager for “Hitchcock’s Analysis of the Bible,” has employed several gentlemen to act as salesmen for this “book of books.” They will start for Texas with him shortly. To all who are open to making engagements in a money making business, Mr. Hodge ex tends, for a few days, a cordial invitation that they either write to or call on him personally. He has made arrangements at re duced rates of passage for all whom he engages to go with him to the rich fields of the Great West. adv. Jute Versus Cotton [News and Courier.] An impression seems to have gotten abroad among those not directly interested in the matter that the war between theFarmers Alliance and the Jute Trust has about come to an end. Of course as the greater part of the cot ton crop has been harvested, and^no doubt, by this,time has been turned into fabrics of various kinds by the mills across the water, there has been to some extent a temporary ces sation of hostilities. The cotton men are no longer annoyed with rumors of trouble on the other side about the condition of bag ging, and - the planters have abandoned the war for the time, to look after the breaking up of the land so that they can get their seed in the ground as early as possible. But this peace is only of that kind that certain ancient savage tribes in the East were accus tomed to declare in the spring so that they could go home and attend the young of their flocks. It was all on the surface, and these little contingencies pro vided for, they immediately pro ceeded to hack each other up with as much zest and enthusi asm as ever. Between the farm ers and the jute men about the same state of affairs exists at present, and as soon as the spring has passed the farmers will assume the offensive as spirited as ever. Every cotton- covered bale seen on a passing draper lying idly on a w, suggestive of the coming revival of the strife, and the the indi cations are that it will be just as lively as it was last year. A glance along the wharves and in the compress sheds con firm this thoroughly. Just at this time a good deal of jute cov ered cotton seems to be coming in but it is not all clad in the boycotted article “by a very large majority.” A very sig nificant sight was a dray on East Bay yesterday loaded with five bales, every one covered with a dark, close cloth like that which is used to pack yarn. But the wharves are the places where the determination of the farmers shows itself more strongly. On a certain wharf down the water front yesterday were piled some three or four hundred bales of the staple and at least one-half of it was in the genuine regulation Alliance uni form. And it did not seem to be torn to pieces by the hooks as the jute men predicted last sum mer it would be. “All you have to do is to be careful, and it will hold against the hooks all right,” was the reply of a longshoreman stand ing near, who was asked his opinion on the subject. The man was big, stout and brawny, with an arm that could have floored an ox, and which had jerked many hun dreds of bales into its place in the ship’s hold, and there was nobody anywhere better quali fied to judge of what different kinds of bagging were worth than he. His opinion was of more value than that of a score of cotton dealers who never han dled a hook in their lives, and he delivered it with an air of half contempt towards the Re porter for asking what he evi dently thought a foolish ques tion. “The jute war is by no means over,” said a gentleman from the middle part of the State to a Reporter yesterday : “and as soon as the season ope is you will see it. The only trouble we had last year was that the mills did not have the machinery ready to turn out the amount of cotton bagging necessary to place the crop on the market, and consequently many farmers just at the height of the harvest were compelled to fall back on jute, or use the ordinary sheet ing, which is really not strong enough. “But we will have a different state of affairs this year. The mills see that there is a real, not a fancied, demand for the cotton bagging, and true to their American commercial instincts they are going to furnish the people anything they will buy. The mill men don’t care one way or the other, so far as the real merits of the question are con cerned, but they want to sell the farmers bagging and are going to do it. The fight this year will be different from that of last year, and you can just look out for it. It will come.” TUe Railroads. [Pee Dee Alliance.] Our people are discussing a railroad from Bennettsville, to some point south of our town, to connect with some other road. That we need a southern outlet is evident. We have always contended, that it was a mistaken idea for any inland town to desire to be at the terminus of a road. Society Hill and Kollocks, are the twojjoints mentioned, and friends of the two routes, of course, are prepared to argue their own particular side. We must admit that we have not ob tained the necessary facts and figures, which would enable us to discuss this subject intelligent ly ; but in a business and prac tical consideration, we must contend that Kollock’s Station, on the Palmetto Road seems to be the cheapest and most reason able point to run a road from Bennettsville. We would re ceive all the advantages to be derived by going to Society Hill and would avoid six miles of trestlin^ and $50,000 or $75,000 for a railroad bridge across Pee Dee River. The distance from Bennettsville to both places, is less than fifteen miles, and we trust, that our people will bestir themselves and make an effort to give our town a southern out let. [Cheraw Cor. Chesterfield Advertiser] The engineers of the Eutaw ville R. R. are here to locate and begin the survey of the road from this place to Sumter. As soon as this is done work will be begun at several points, besides at each end of the line, as the road is to be pushed rapidly to wards completion, and those who have the ordering of it say it will be in running order by the fall of the year, in ample time to carry off the cotton crop of 1890.
