McCall and brother, in May last. Bob is avoid hand at such work, for it will be remembered that way back in the days of Radical rule he was one of a party that burned the house of Mr. John Witherspoon, of So ciety Hill, and that after his ar rest he turned State’s evidence and mainly on his testimony some five or six men were con victed and sentenced to the pen itentiary for life. Rev. John Stout, of Society Hill, has been appointed by the Welsh Neck Association, dele gate to the Southern Baptist Convention, which meets at Fort Worth Texas, in May. Rev. C. L.

It will then be decided whether the invitation, which the company has received to participate in the ceremonies attending the unveil ing of the Lee equestrian statue, at Richmond, Virginia, on May 29, shall be accepted. The mat ter of the annual pic-nic will al so be considered. It has been decided that the target practice shall not take place at the pic nic, but that it will be had some time previous to that occasion. The annual election • of officers will also be held to-morrow night. A full attendance is de- sired at the meeting, as these matters are of great impor tance. The Latest Attraction. As already announced, there will shortly be begun in The Darlington News one of the most popular stories of the day bv that talented writer Julian Hawthorne. The serial story has of late become one of the leading features of the paper in the estimation of many of our readers, and the plan has met with such favor that we shall probably continue it for some time to come, taking care to se lect for use the most entertaining romances to be had. Of all the serials which we have published during the past year, there is notone which will be found equal in merit to “Another’s Crime”, the first chapters of which are shortly to appear in these columns. It is the verv kind of story for summer read ing, and all of our subscribers would do well to look out for the opening chapters. both of which will be two stories in height. As was previously announced in The News, Messrs. Welling & Bonnoitt will shortly erect a two story buiding on the Lide lot on the Square and J. J. Ward, Esq., also expects to build a two story brick store on the present postoffice site. —A novel way of putting up molasses in small quantities is in practice by Mr. Lawrence Carrigan. He puts it in a paper sack and advises the lieners to “be careful and it will be all right.” Major Lucas has been mak- Brick buildings in Darlington, ! n ^ lively^ m ^Charleston like wonders, never cease and " ~ x “ " we verily believe that, in the not distant future, but few frame buildings will be left on the Square to remind us of the E ast. In fact the progress of Darlington is itself one of the ^ ^ wonders that will never cease j C. Wilson", have surveyed a route in furtherance of the Society Hill and Bennettsville Railroad, and we learn that he has been very successful in getting subscrip tions. —The surveying party, under the superintendence of Mr. C. and, ere long, we shall have in our midst the metropolis of east ern South Carolina. As an evi dence, we mav mention en pas sant that the Land Improvement Company sold, on Saturday, be tween fifty and sixty lots, the prices paid for them aggregating about $5,200. It is also a matter of comment that a lot in town, which was originally purchased for $250 has been sold three times recently, the prices paid at these latter sales being $400, $800 and $900 respectively. Such are “the signs of the times” and all who are prospecting for good places in which to settle or in vest had better turn their eyes to Darlington. Rend This Offer! Having become convinced from observation that there are very many persons in the Coun ty who are not now taking The Darlington News simply be cause they are unacquainted with its many merits, and - that if they once contracted the habit of looking forward to their County paper every week, they would not be able to do without it, we have determined to send out the paper on a “trial trip” at special rates. To all subscri- not now on onr list who will pay us the sum of fifty cents in ad vance, we will send The Dar lington News from the date of said payment until Nov. 15,1890. As the regular price of the paper is $2 per annum, from which no reduction has ever been made under any circumstances, It will be seen that this offer, now made solely for the purpose above mentioned, is indeed a generous one. The date of expiration, Nov. 15th, is named in order that these special subscribers should they decide to discontinue at this time, will be able to obtain any way the full election news, for it must not be forgotten that 1890 will doubtless prove, for reasons too numerous to enu merate at this time, one of the most important election years which has been known in South Carolina since the war. Psblle Improvement!. Mr. 0.8. McCullough will, this summer, erect two stores on the tie of m Mr. Hewitt’s the express office, Pee Dee Medical Association. The annual meeting of the Pee Dee Medical Association was held in the office of Mr. F. E. Norment, on Tuesday, the 10th April, at 11.30 o’clock. The meeting was called to order by the President, Dr. C. Kollock. In the absence of the regular secretary, Dr. W. J. Garner was elected to serve as secretary pro tem. The roll was called and the following members respond ed: Drs. E. Miller, McL. Mc Farland, B. C. Norment, J. M. Josey, W. J. Garner, C. Kollock, W. A. Player, J. C. Willcox, W. L. Galloway, John Lunney. Dr. C. Kollock read a very interest ing paper on “Laparotomy” fol lowed by recovery. Several oth er interesting and instructive cases were reported by the dif ferent members and discussed very profitably. The following were appointed delegates to rep resent the Pee Dee Medical As sociation in the coming meeting of the State Medical Association to be held in Laurens on the 23rd inst: Drs. McL. McFarland, J. Lunney, E. Miller, J. C. Will cox, W. J. Garner and J. M. Josey. The annual election of officers resulted in the re-elec tion of the officers who served during the past year, namely. Dr. C. Kollock, Cheraw, Presi dent ; Dr. E. Miller, Florence, Vice-President and Dr J. Lun ney, Darlington, Secretary and Treasurer. The meeting ad journed to meet in Florence next April. SOCIETY HILL. —Shad are becoming plentiful and cheap. . —Farmers are busy planting cotton. —Mr. Harry Race was so much improved as to be at church on Sunday. —We had frost on the 10th and 11th insts. Mr. J. T. Rog ers thinks the fall oats were a little hurt, as they are heading out very fast. —It seems probable that Do^k O’Hara may yet recover, as he holds out well. If inflammation does not set in his chances are good. —Mr. Hart Coker has been confined to his bed for several days, but is considered better at this writing. Quite a number of our people are still sick. —R. D. Wommack has start ed his saw mill at Dukesville, in Chesterfield County. The whis- his engine sounds very clearly, and is heard quite dis tinctly at this place. for the Carolina Southern Rail road from Cheraw, which cross es Cedar Creek just below the junction of Harris’ Creek, and will cross over into Darlington near Mr. J. T. Rogers’ lands; another line crosses higher up. —Theraiu and wind storm, during the night of the 9th inst. displaced the smoke stack of the 80-horse power boiler at the brick yard and caused consider able trouble. But all is right again and Messrs. Spain & Co. commenced making brick this week. Their saw mill, too, has been running for several days. Maj. Winters is attending to this department. —On Sunday night, while Mr. H. C. Burn and Eddie Parker were returning home from Ches terfield in a buggy, with a mule attached, a terrible runaway scrape occurred. The mule was frightened by a dog running but from Mr. Weatherford’s house on Messrs. E. T. and W. C Co ker’s place, it was down hill and hard ground, and the road filled with large stumps cut off about G to 10 inches above the ground; larger and higher stumps were on each side and a rail fence was also on the left. Down this road at break neck speed the frightened animal dashed for a quarter of a mile, the fire flashing from the steel tires as had never been seen be fore, when the left wheels pass ed over a stump and the left line parted, throwing Mr. Burn over on the right hind wheel to the ground and still holding the line in his right hand he was drag ged some ten feet. A little fur ther on, the wheels passed over a stump, throwing Eddie Parker out on his shoulder and turning the ’ thence on fence, when the mule freed him self and ran down to the factory saw mill, and there quietly waited for Jhis driver. Fortu nately no bones were broken, and, beyond some bruises and soreness all is well. very li- IIIUII HILL —Mr. John Gray has a sick child. —The Sunday school at Hi Hill is in a flourishing com tion. —Our farmers are busy plant ing cotton and some are almost ready to begin chopping. —Mr. E. L. Gray, formerly of this place, but now of Lamar, paid our neighborhood a flying visit on Sunday last. —Miss Carrie Jordan, of this place, has just returned home af ter a pleasant visit to relatives and friends near Timmonsville. —The chills and fever have taken quite an early start in our community. We have heard of several cases already. —Married, on last Sunday af ternoon, at Pisgah Church, by Rev. Mr. Martin, Mr. McQueen Jordan to Miss Heath. We wish them much happiness. —There is no mistake about the oat crop being a perfect fail ure. Mr. J. E. Large, an old and experienced farmer, says that he thinks the trouble is due as much to the dry weather as to the greatly abused Hessian fly. —On last Sunday afternoon, while Mrs. R. D. Rollins and her daughter, Mrs. Lee Rollins, were returning home, their horse took fright, near Jeffries Creek, and the former was thrown out of the vehicle and considerably hurt. Fortunately, however, Dr. P. A. Wilson was soon at the place of accident and rendered valuable assistance. We trust that Mrs. Rollins will soon recover. LAMAR. —Cotton planting is athingof the past. 1 —Mr. L. I. Parrott, of Sum ter, has been in our town in the interest of the Southwestern Building and Loan Association. —A sight not often seen has been witnessed here. Mr. Goo. Norris was in our town a few days ago selling country raised hams at 121 cents per pound. —The people of this commu nity look on the whole scheme of the Experimental Station tax asa high nanded outrage, com mitted against the taxpayers of poor, unfortunate Darlington County and have “sat down”’on the last one of the perpetrators. The County Commissioners were expected to touch not that dirty check, until the constitutional ity of the matter had been set tled in a legal way. —Some time ago, The Dar lington News made a condens ed report of the proceedings of the recent Democratic Farmers’ Convention, held in Columbia. The report was condensed from the News and Courier which contained the most inaccurate report that we have seen. We have wondered why The Dar lington News has not publish ed the platform adopted in the convention. —The howling and barking of the Charleston News and Cour ier and many of the littleVillage sheets are making friends to Tillman every day and the News and Courier absolutely has no influence on the masses. Every line that is published in abuse of Tillman and the recent Demo cratic Farmers’ Convention, only sends recruits into the ranks of Capt. B. R. Tillman. The writer has travelled around a little, for the last two days, and every man that he. has met is a Tillman man. Some of them have been made so by the press of the State. • CARTERSV1LLE. —We are having fine spring weather. —There is a good deal of sick ness in this section and our doc tor is kept busy. —Mr. D. L. Smith, who lost his residence by fire on the 8th of March, now has another neat residence ready for occupancy and will move into it this week. —Rev. Mr. Burris, of Lake City, has accepted a call to preach this year at the Baptist Church in this town. —Messrs. H. A. Mims and A. B. Haynie of the. Cartersville Y. M. C. A. attended the State convention of the Y. M. C. A., and they enjoyed their trip to the beautiful town of Orange burg very much. —Rev. W. B. Duncan, the pastor of the M. E. Church at this place, has been passing through severe afflictions of late. He lost his sweet little babe, of only a few days old, recently and his wife is lying at the point of death. —The farmers in this section take no stock in “Tillmanism,” but they are driving ahead plant ing cotton with a vim. The ear ly planted cotton is up and good stands have been obtained. The high price of the staple the past season will cause a slight in crease of the acreage this year. —The farmers in this commu- nity generally have finished planting cotton, and fear is now anticipated that the present dry weather will retard its coming up. —The News of last week made us say that Oats was progress ing in “churches,” when the writer meant “dudes.” We do not know whether the mi: t-rl:e was made by us or not. —The wind blew pretty hard at this place, on the night of the 9th inst., and there was also a light rain. The wind unroofed a bam on the place of Mr. C. B. Rhodes. —Oats is progressing finely in the dude line. She now has sev eral. One of them is of so much importance to Bishopville that he walked from Oats to that place not long since. He start ed with the evident intention of getting a ride before getting to Bishopville. He was thwarted in this, however, and ho pushed on and landed thereabout 11 P. M. We imagine that he had by then lost something of his dud- ish elasticity of step. He says he has decided not to “huff” it to Bishopville any more. —On a Sunday not long since, while one of our citizens was attending church, some one broke into his residence and took therefrom such things as suited his “taste.” Suspicion rested on acertain “gentleman,” who, it is said, is not as black as some of the African race. A party of unknown men went to the “gentleman’s” house a few nights afterwards, took him out and thrashed him good, and he confessed his guilt and released the stolen property. Who Pays Taxes ?

This alliance held its regular meeting on last Saturday even ing. The only business of im portance transacted was the completion of the order for cot ton bagging for the coming sea son.

We now have that pestiferous fly or bug sap ling the corn and the crows, arks and doves were never mown to be so destructive to com as they are this spring. —We have read in the Week ly News and Courier that there are some thirty papers publish ed in the several counties that are more or less opposed to eith er Mr. Tillman or the Shell con« vention and it is presumed that they give the prevailing senti ment m their counties, so, if such be the case, Mr. Tillman will have a small following. DIED On Saturday, April 12, 1890, May, only child of Alva C. and Annie Coggeshall, aged about one year. The remains were in terred in the Baptist Church' yard on Sunday.
