At this price the paper is eas
ily within reach of every man
in the County. It has been our
ambition during the period for
which we have controlled the
organ to elevate it to the very
highest standard of journalism.
As we have not been addicted to
referring often to the result of
our efforts in that direction, we
feel that our many friends
throughout the County will par
don us if we allude in passing to
the many favorable comments
which were made in regard to
The Darlington News by our
brethren of the press at their
meeting in Charleston last week;
comments which, coming from
such a source, naturally afford
ed us cause for a pardonable
feeling of pride and gratification.
Before we go out to the public
again, the headquarters of The
Darlington News will have
been removed to the front offi
ces upstairs in the handsome
Hewitt building, which are now
being prepared for our reception.
There we cordially invite all our
friends to call on us when they
are in town, and give us the lat
est items of interest which may
have occurred in their respective
communities.
A MO I'll ER STEP FORWARD.
The Darlington Manufactur
ing Company, determined to
keep equal pace with the pro
gress now permeating through
every channel of trade, stimulat
ing every industry and giving a
wholesome impetus to the
growth of the town, is about to
take active steps towards aiding
this onward n Arch, which is
making Darlington at once the
wonder and admiration of her

Now for the sequel: About of Co ^ re f and ^ u . abl ® writ ^ r Darlington, ■ - - S. C
on subjects pertaining to agn- Parlor* over Garner’s New Drug
Culture. Store where the citixens of Darlington
would have been at their respec
tive homes but for their railroad
passes. They are a jolly set,
however, and as they assembled
in the parlors of the Charleston
Hotel, one could not help re
marking that they were a strik
ing looking body of representa-
t i v e Carolinians, comparing
most favorably with the greater
literary lights who adorn the
Southern Press Association.
Gen. McSweeney, of the Hamp
ton Guardian, the head of the
State Association, presided over
the deliberations of that body
with all the dignity and grace
for which he is so deservedly
renowned, while Mr. Bacon, of
the Edgefield Chronicle, as usual
won the hearts of all with his
eharmiug personality.
Of course, the feature of the
week was the oration of the
Hon. Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, one
of the most distinguished South
erners living. His address teem
ed with philosophical truths
which were couched in the most
eloquent terms. Mr. Watterson
is a bom orator; every intona
tion of his voice strikes his lis
tener with a thrill of pleasure,
and the well formed sentences
which fell from his lips on Wed
nesday night were received with
round after round of applause.
By far the most enjoyable ex
cursion undertaken for the enter
tainment of the visitors was the
trip to Summerville on Friday.
The citizens of that charming
town had prepared an elegant
... m , banquet in the spacious dining
sister towns. The company pro- r00m of the .. Dorchefitor; , thei *
sequel:
two o’clock last Monday morn
ing, a party consisting of some
250 masked men, called at the
house of Sheriff Drafts, overpow
ered him, and succeeded in
wresting the keys of the jail
from him. They opened several
of the doors of the building, but
being unable to unlock the cell
in which Leaphart was confined,
began firing at him through the
bars. The prisoner seized a bar
of iron which he obtained in
some way, partly concealed him
self, and fought like a madman.
Some three hundred shots were
fired at him, and the man was
simply riddled with bullets,
which were afterwards picked
up from the floor by the hand
ful.
In all of its sickening details,
this is one of the most horrible
crimes which has ever been per
petrated in South Carolina.
While it is to be presumed that
the gentlemen who had guaran
teed the prisoner’s safety were
in no way responsible for his
terrible end, the dastardly per
petrators of the crime have trail
ed the honor of old Lexington in
the dust.
The Sheriff telegraphed the
Governor that it was possible
that several of the lynchers
could be indentified. If this is
true, Lexingon County can only
regain her lost prestige by hav
ing these men convicted and
hung. Thus would she set an
example for her sister counties
of South Carolina which would
in some degree mitigate the dis
honor which now evershadows
her.
.kSHOES A SPEGIAITY.
Not less than fifteen parishes, or
one fourth of tiie State of Ixiuisiana,
is affected by the present flood, and
damage is almost incalculable. In 1812
It i« estimated that the loss was $15,-
000,000. It will probublv exceed half
that amount this year.
In response to the request that the

Mrs. Sarah Blaney, a widow aged

The town of Whydah, on the West

order, and even bloodshed.
It is said that one of the schemes
concocted by Senator Quay and other
Republican leaders to perpetuate the
rule of their party is for the census
officers in rhe South to enumerate
only a small fraction of the negroes
and thus to* cause the South to lose
eighteen or twenty representatives in
Congress.

[The Southern Cultivator.]
In looking up the history of
farmers’ societies in this country,
the first on record was the Phil
adelphia, which was organized
before the present century, and
the next on record was formed
at Pendleton, S. C., in 1815.
Now for a long time it was
thought that the South Carolina
Society, at Charleston, S. C.,
was the next oldest society to the
one at Philadelphia, but we now
find in the old Southern Farmer,
published by John Skinner, in
Baltimore, in 1818, that on the
sixthof June, that year (1818),
the South Carolina Agricultural
Society ratified its constitution
and elected the following offi
cers: President, Gen. William
R. Davie; Vice-Presidents, Col.
Francis K. Huger, Col. John
Taylor, Col. John J. Chappell,
Col. Wade Hampton, and three
years before the South Carolina
Society was formed, in the year
1815, the Pendleton Farmers’ So
ciety was formed by electing

Buchanan, a noted mineralogist
and chemist for the Confederate
government, soon after the war,
while President of the Pendleton
Farmers’ Society, first began
agitating the subject and feasi
bility of establishing a State
Agricultural College, which cul
minated in his bequeathing at
his death, “Fort Hill” planta
tion, (the historical home of Lis
father-in-law, John C. Calhc on)
and a large endowment in mon
ey to establish and maintain an
agricultural college at this place,
wnich will be commenced soon,
and to-day the “Clemson Agri
cultural College” is a household
word in every farmhouse in
South Carolina, and rightly the
honor and credit of having giv
en more substantial aid towards
promoting the interest of the
farmer than any other citizen of
this State, is due to Mr. Clem
son, through whose efforts and
gifts mainly. South Carolina
will have an agricultural college
second to none in the South, and
the locating of this college at
Fort Hill, under the shadow of
the old farmers’ hall, of Pendle
ton, veritable mother in agricul
tural institutions and progressive
agriculture, seems in every way
very appropriate.
Col. L. J. Alston was the son-
in-law of Aaron Burr and subse
quently Governor of the State.
The name is a familiar one in
Georgia. Rev. Dr. Waddell, as
an educator of youth, attained a
fame and made an impress that
is felt to-day throughout the
South. Col. Joseph Grisham
was the father of Mrs. Senator
Joseph E Brown. George Reese
was the father of Dr. Milton
Reese and Addison Reese, and
the grandfather of Judge W. M.
Reese, who has illustrated Geor
gia in high positions of honor
and trust.
Truly the Pendleton Farmers’
Society has been a mighty factor
of good for the whole people.
May it continue to labor and
bless mankind.
