Of the rest, there are said to have been one or two minors, at least one straightout Republi can. several well-known Inde pendents, and a dozen or more “sore-heads.” The thinly dis guised scheme was promptly exposed by the two gentlemen who attended the meeting for that purpose, and when the question was put as to whether the separate Democratic club should be organized, there was not a single vote in the affirma tive. from his Northern trip.

As already stated in these col umns, the cultivation of tobacco is largely engaging the atten tion of the farmers of Darling ton County this season. The yield has been remarkably fine, both as regards quality and quantity, so it is probable that before the season is over our farmers will believe that there is money in something else be sides cotton. Messrs. O. II. and T. II. Edwards, of Palmetto, have cured five barns, which will fully cover all the expenses of their crop, so that by far the larger portion, which still re mains uncured, will result in clear profit. The crop of Mr. D. M. Smoot is also said to be very fine, while Messrs. W. F. Dar gan, B. F. and E. M.

[Reported for Tub News.) The 10th annual reunion of the Pee Dee Light Artillery, which was held at the Darling ton Mineral Spring on the 22nd inst.. was an enjoyable occasion to all who were present. Pres ident J. Tl. Mott, now of Sumter County, wore the association eye-glasses captured by E. Keith Dargan at the battle of Harper’s Ferry, and presided with the dignity of a Reed. Letters from the secretary of the A. P. Hill Monument Asso ciation show that the contribu tions received from this associa tion will add one block of mar ble to commemorate the servi ces of a distinguished General of the Lost Cause. Comrade E. Keith Dargan’s remarks for the entertainment of his comrades were in good taste, and found a responsive echo in the inmost heart. Thwing of Texas, Langston of Florida, and Dickinson of Sumter, have gone the way of all flesh since we last met. On the occasion of this anniversary only thirteen of those who had followed “our old tattered ban ner” were present to honor the memory of their fallen' friends, and to make happy the sons who are to fill their places in the near future. The association has taken a step in the right direction in see ing to it that the destitute mem bers of their old organization shall not feel the sting of pover ty and want, and relief will be extended wherever their wants are known.
