slightly burned the floor, caufed
a little ripple of excitement on
the Squaae yesterday morning.
DARLINGTON, 8. 0, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1890.
Fob rent, a desirable business
stand located, on the Public
Square; see the advertisement

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.

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

masonic honors, at Latta’s,
Marion County.
—The first term of the Court

MT. ELON.
—The weather is fine but
changeable.
—Garden peas have come up
from two to three inches high.
—From the numbet of planta

intend working this year with
more system.

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

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

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. Hurrah!
