The Darlington Guards
This company had a meeting
on Monday night with a full at*
tendance, but the consideration
of matters of importance was
postponed until the meeting to
beheld to-morrow night. 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-

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

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

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

of the State Medical Association
to be held in Laurens on the 23rd
inst: Drs. McL. McFarland, J.

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

fence, when the mule freed him
self and ran down to the factory
saw mill, and there quietly
waited for Jhis driver. Fortu

soreness all is well.

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.

ALLIANCE NOTES.
MT. ELON NO. 131.
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. The number of yards or
dered does not quite reach two
thousand. During the summer
this alliance will meet only once
a month—on the Saturday before
the second Sunday in each
month, at 3 P. M.
MT. ELON
—We had frost on the 11th
and 12th insts. ; little damage
was done however.
—Peach trees are now in
bloom and, should there be no
more frost, we may yet have
the fruit.
—The Hebron school contin
ues to flourish and from general
indications the principal is ne
gotiating for a lady assistant.
—The oat crop is still improv
ing and we believe that the
spring sown oats, with favora
ble seasons, will make the best
yield.
—The modern lady school
teacher has a new name for the
old time rod or switch. It is now
the “regulator”—a very appro
priate name.
—Being busily engaged in our
regular vocation, we have heard
but few expressions from farm
ers on the result of the conven’
tion.
—Since corn and cotton plant
ing has begun the attendance
upon our school has decreased
from sixty to thirty pupils. Miss
Benton has introduced a new
subject of study in the school,
Boyd’s “Milton,”
—We fanners as a class are
great grumblers and are always
complaining. 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.
