Two colored men engaged in a trifling cutting scrape in the vicinity of Loafers’ Bridge on Saturday right. Mb. Howard Edwards has re turned from Saugerties, New York, where he has been taking a course in chemistry. The Darlington Guards are drilling up for their annual in spection, which occurs some time this month. Miss Roxie Lewis, of Darling ton County, graduated last week at the Winthrop Training School for Teachers, in Columbia. A colt, less than a year old, sired by the celebrated stallion Highland Red and raised by Mr. J. N. Kervin. was sold recently for $500. The taking of the United States Census is now “in full blast,” and the enumerators are, hurrying busily from door to door. Mr. A. A. McKain, who has been attending a college of, veterinary surgery in New York during the past season, is at home on a vacation. Mr. C. S. McCullough has mov- 1 ed into his elegant brick man sion on Pearle Street, which ■> bo- rond a doubt, one of the hand somest residences in the State. Mr. Parker, the new lessee of the Enterprise Hotel took charge on Tuesday morning.^ Capt. Stewart has moved to Samaria, Lexington County. As the afternoons grow lon ger, the several drives to the Mineral Spring are lined with the vehicles of those who .re on the lookout for fresh air. Monday last was Sale Day, but there were no official sales, and the day would have been a very dull one for the town but for the laree crowds who came in to register. A special train will be run to Florence on Tuesday next to en able the people of Darlington to attend the concert to be given there by th*? Florence Reed and Brass Band. A warrant was issued yester- day for John Gregg, colored, for wife beating. Gregg has fled from his home on Mr. W. A. Law’s place and has so far elud- «d the officers. Brewer, the colored assassin ' of Ashley Junction, passed through Florence on Tuesday, and it is thought not unlikely he: may be somewhere in this neigh borhood. Several of the stores have already begun the “early closing movement” for the summer months. It is a great pity that they could not all be prevailed upon to follow suit. Mr Mandel Sener, a special agent of.the Census Department, has been engaged for the past ten days in making up from the books in the clerk’s office a state ment of the mortgage indebted ness of Darlington County. The eighteenth annual session of the Darlington County Sunday School Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will be held at Philadelphia Church commencing on Thursday even ing, July 24th, 1890, at 8.30 o’clock. For a long time the fire wells on the Public Square have been giving the town authorities trouble. By the skill of Dr. J. M. Earle, the qne nearest the Enterprise Hotel has at last been fixed so that it will hold water. The Darlington News ac knowledges the compliment of an invitation from Cadet A. H. Byrd to attend to the joint de bate of the literary societies of Partick Military Institute, at Anderson, on Tuesday evening, June 17. Mr. George H. McKee, one of the leading stockholders in the Champion Canning Company, recently organized at this place, visited Rock Hill last week to inspect a canning factory which is in very successful operation there. Dr. A. T. Baird, of Louisiana, visited Darlington last week, and decided to locate, here for the practice of medicine. The Doctor married Miss Williams, of Society Hill. He is youhg and enterprising and will prove quite an addition to the comrau- ! Four hundred thousand new brick were turned out of the kiln of A. C. Spain & Co. on Saturday This makes some thing over a million which have l been made there since Jan. 1. The brick are of unusually fine quality and have a ready sale. The Darlington Ginning, Mil ling, Fertilizer and Warehouse Company now supply the entire trade of Darlington with meal, besides shipping quite a quanti- s ty to neighboring towns. They i turn out about two hundred bushels daily of a very fair arti cle. At last the two hundred and six graves of Confederate sol diers at Johnson’s Island have been marked with a neat head stone of Georgia marble. The inscription on one of them is as follows: “Col. Jno W. Henagan, 8th S. C. infantry ; died April 25, 1865, of hemmorrhage. Grave No. 177.” As will be seen from the no tices published in another col umn. Governor Richardson has 1 offered a reward of a hundred dollars for the apprehension of Murray Knotts, and a reward of seventy-five dollars for the ap prehension of Esau McIntosh, the colored man who killed Ets Curtis in Antie h Township: some time ago. The Richmond Dispatch of Friday last says: “Among the usands visiting the city uncon nected with any military or ganization were Major Clayton Woods and Colonel H. Mc- Hodge, of Darlington, S. C. The latter is an old ex-Confederate who is well known to many citi zens of Richmond. Both gen tlemen are frequent visitors here.' lioai r'.stal. '! i ui: o'-‘r ■ The following transfer of real estate were recorded in the Auditor’s office for the week ending May ll : R. N. Parnell to J. T.

Miss Georgiana Dargan's pu-j pils, assisted by some of their friends, will give an exhibition consisting of music, reading and recitations, at the residence of George W. Darg.tn, Esq., on Wednesday evening next, com-' mencing at s.:io o’clock. The price of admission will be ten cents, the pioceeds to be devoted to a charitable purpose. Re freshments will be served, and in order to accommodate the children, and others who may be able to attend only in the af ternoon, ice cream will be on 1 sale on the grounds as early as half past six o’clock. The pat ronage of the public’ is respect fully solicited. • Services at the Methodist Chutvh The quarterly conference of the Methodist Church was held last Saturday night. On Sun day morning Rev. John O. Will- son. Presiding Elder of Florence District, preached and adminis- j tered Communion. Children's 1 Day was celebrated on Sunday afternoon ; instead of the usual exercises Mr. Willson delivered enaddress to the children. The collection taken up on this occa sion was devoted to a fund set apart by the church for the sup port of Sunday-schools in poor communities. A protracted meeting at the church, to be conducted by the Presiding El der, which has been in contem- E lation for some time past, lias een postponed on account of the indisposition of Mr. Willson. The Rifliinoml Kxenrsion. The unveiling of the Lee Mon ument in Richmond, a full ac count of which is given else where, proved to be one of the grandest pageants of modern times. South Carolina having been the first State to secede, her troops led the procession, and it is said that the Darlington Guards, the first company to en list in the Confederate service, would have been given the post of honor at the top of the column had they been present. All re ports from the scene of the cele bration are to the effect that the South Carolina boys marched well and compared favorably in appearance with any regiment present. Gf’n. E. M. Law ap peared in line in full Confeder ate uniform. In addition to those Darlingtoniaus reported last week as having gone on, Messrs. E. M Ervin, C. R. Woods, B. F. Williamson and R. E James also attended the cel ebration. Tlie Glory of Green I’laius. IReporteil for the Nkws.| Wg have been bearing for some time through your regu lar correspondent about “Green Plains;” that a joitoffice had been established there; that a • flourishing public school, with Miss Annie Sumner as principal, was in successful operation and many other items of interest. These 1 were good “pointers” as to the progressiveness and pros perity of that beautiful section of our county, and we were con sequently awaiting an opportu nity to go and see for ourselves if the half had been told us. As we found that it had not, with the permission of your corre spondent at that place, we will give a few ’’dots’’ of recent oc currence there. Receiving on Friday last a pressing invitation to attend the closing exercises of the school, we give briefly the result of our observations. Green Plains is about ten miles from Society Hill. up on Cedar Creek. It was a delightful surprise to see the beautiful level country stretch ing for miles around ; new clear ings and farms opening up with flourishing crops, i n d u s t r y, thrift and progress on every hand. Not that abnormal de velopment often seen, but stea dy, toiling, economical pro gress—that busi ness thrift which “makes the farm pay.” The people seem to be just getting under headway to show what they have been doing. The Car olina Southern Railroad is very likely to pass directly through, or, at least, very near to this fine section, and when it does, we may expect to see beautiful cottages, and even more preten tious residences springing up in every direction. At present our friends are laying well the found ation of successful agriculture. We would like to speak more at length of these generous and in dustrious people, who have by their labor and perseverance quietly developed this beautiful country, but must forbear at present. As we approach the picnic grounds, wo discover innumera ble white dresses dotted with colored ribbon flitting about. An ample table had been con structed in the shade. The whirl of wheels and rattle of vehicles were shortly heard coming from every direction, and it was not long before some hundred and twenty persons are gathered on the grounds. Hartsville, Doves- ville, and all the surrounding county was well represented. The Society Hill string band was in attendance, and the young folks determined to “bal ance all” and “trip the light fantastic toe.” This they did very successfully. These de lightful exercises were kept up in turn for several hours. Iced lemonade was served in abund ance. A bountiful feast was spread with everything to de light the eye and tempt the tacte. Here it may be said that the pleasures of the day culminated. Sparkling wit, keen repartee, mingled with more serious and absorbing conversation. After dinner the young couples who were “more seriously inclined” repair ’d to the buggies and with downcast looks and languid eyes talked over “the situation,” while others more light of heart were intent on “swinging cor ners’ ' and “balancing all” again. Mr. Mclver Williamson was looked for as the orator of the day, and the editor of The Dar- lington News had been invited. As neither of them came a little talk was exacted from Mr. H. C. Burn on the pleasures of the day, education and the public schools. Mr. W. T. Hill was then introduced, and indulged in a nice little talk. After the band had played “Home, Sweet Home,” with merry hearts we scattered for our homes, leaving behind us our kindest wishes for the beautiful and accomplished young * lady teacher and the children of the school, as' well as for all the good people who contributed so much to our day of unalloyed pleasure and de light.
