Cotton is said to be taking the rust badly in many sections of the County. The colored people of the town had a picnic at the Mineral Sprinsr on Thursday. Messrs. McCall & Burch have completed their move into the Hewitt building, just below Mr. F. E. Norment and fami ly have returned from their vis it to the coast of North Caroli na. In describing the Per noun I of : the late State Farmers’Alliance, the Greenville correspondent of the New# and Courier says: “Mr. Lucas McIntosh, chairman I of the State Executive Commit- j tee of the Alliance, a solid far mer and astute business man, ' looked after the interests of the Order. Gen. W. E. James will at tend the summer meeting of the State Agricultural Society at Rock Hill on Aug. (i, after which he will make a visit to Cleve land Springs.

The names of these dele gates are published elsewhere. There was but one vote recorded against them. There were sev eral Tillmanites present, butfind- ing that they were in a decided minority, they refrained from expressing their opinion. The meeting was very largely attend ed. and the proceedings were brief and to the point. About Mtuzliinr lb>?-. Some people are disposed to make fun of the muzzles which the town authorities have com- pelled the dog owners to put on their animals. Certain it is that we have noticed quite a number of dogs who could open their mouths just as well with the muzzles on as without them. This may be all for the best, however, as one of the most cel ebrated dog fanciers in the com munity gives it as his opinion that nothing will run a dog mad so quickly as having something tied over his mouth in hot weath- It is said that one dog-owner The County Democratic Con vention for the nomination of j Countv officers will be held on Aug. 27. few days washed away a con siderable portion of the embank ment of the C. & D.

Communion will be administer ed at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning next. Pre paratory thereto, the Rev. Mr. Law will deliver a sermon at the church on Saturday morning. The attention of the public in general, and members of the Farmers’ Alliance in particular, is called to an admirable article from the pen of Capt. E. E. Evans, of Society Hill, which appears on the second page of this issue. A petition is being circulated for the pardon of Russell, a white man who was convicted of cow stealing at the Spring Term of the Court, 1890, for Darlington County, and sen tenced to imprisonme it in the Penitentiary tor two yean . Some of the young people of the town enjoyed a dance at the new residence of Mr. A. Wein berg on Pearle Street on the evening of the 24th inst. Those who attended report the affair as having passed off most pleasantly in every respect. A fracas between two colored men on the Square about dark last Friday evening attracted quite a crowd to the scene of ac tion. The “municipal consta bulary” were promptly on hand, however, and speedy justice was meted out to the offenders by his Honor the Mayor. Darlington County is entit led to one vacancy at the Cita del Academy next session, to fill which a competitive exam ination will be held here on Sept. 11. As the Citadel is one of the most thorough institutions of learning in the country, this isa fine opportunity for some young man to secure a good edu cation without cost. tures of her leading public build ings and business men. One of these pictures of her loading men was of Capt. W. E. Lucas, formerly of this County, but now President of the Morgan Manufacturing Company, of Spartanburg. Floral Fair Hop. Invitations are out for the Annual Floral Fair Hop, which i will be given at the Opera House, on Friday Evening, Aug. 1. The chaperons are Mrs. Geo. W. Dargan, Mrs. F. E. Norment, Mrs. E. O. Woods and Mrs. W. M. Haynsworth. Messrs. E. O. Woods, A. T. Baird, R. L. Dargan. B. F. vVilliamson and John E. Boyd constitute the committee of ar rangements. The German will be led by Mr. Geo. M. Boyd. ■ ■— — ■ A Slid Accident. On Friday night last, while the ’bus wrs returning from the depot, young Thurlow Garland, a twelve-year old son of Mr. Isaac Garland, the butcher, was riding on the vehicle. A gen tleman who was inside struck at him in sport with a whip, when the boy in dodging from it fell off the step, and the ’bus ran over his leg, crushing it terribly. The little fellow's sufferings were so intense that he had to be carried home on a I mattress. At last accounts, he was doing as well as could be expected. A Loss To Darlincrton. Mrs. L. Murray will move to ; Florence in a few days, owing | to the fact that she has been un- ! able to secure enough music I scholars here to warrant her in ! remaining longer. As our peo ple have found out by this time, Mrs. Murray is an unusually ! fine instructor in Music, and j Darlington was fortunate in se- j curing her services for the short I time she was here. That she | should be forced to leave, is a | source of great regret to all, as it will be many a day before her place will be supplied in this community. The Democracy ot Darlington. The Darlington Democratic Club met in the court house on j Friday morning last, and was ; called to order by J . E. Nettles, I Esq., the President, in the ab ! sence of Mr. F. E. Norment, the regular Secretary, Mr. S. S. ■ Burch was chosen to fill that office temporarily.

Meetiinr of the Uoiuity Agricultural Society The annual meeting of the Darlington Agricultural Society will be held at the Fair Grounds on the second Tuesday in Au gust, the 12th. The following committee will report: i 1st. Improvement of land by pea fallow ; E. E. Evans, chair- !man, Lucas McIntosh, E. W. Cannon, J. W. Beasley, E. Mel. William. 2nd. Tillage vs Manure. W. E. James, chairman, J. J. Lu cas, S. A. Gregg, J. J. Lawton, F. M. Rogers, Sr. Dr. McBryde, of the South | Carolina University, will be present, and will take part in the discussions. ,If it is any thing like the meeting of last ! year, and it promises to be equally interesting, this meeting will abundantly' reward all who may' attend. Death of Mr. J. Frank Early. Mr. J. F. Early died at the Darlington Hotel, at about sev en o’clock yesterday (Wednes day) morning, after a painful illness. Mr. Early' was a native of Charleston, but had been liv- ! ing in Darlington County about 1 I twenty-four years. He was in his fiftieth year at the time of hisdeath. For many years past he has been one of the leading merchants of Darlington, and by his close application to busi ness succeeded in amassing con siderable property. Two sisters living in Charleston, and two brothers, who reside in this place, survive him. The re mains will be carried to Char-' ' leston to-day for interment, the American Legion of Honor, of which the deceased was a mem ber, and a number of friends, accompany ing them to the de-1 pot. Mr. Early stood well in the home of his adoption, and leaves | a large number of friends who will miss him sadly for many years to come. A Prize Worth Having. In addition to Bret Harte’s famous story which is to appear shortly in these columns, The ; XEWs offors many other attrac tions to the intelligent and pro gressive reader. AH the fresh est Alliance happenings, throughout the County are ! promptly reported by our spe cial correspondents, while our exchanges are closely culled with a view to obtaining all the State and National news of in terest to the Order. The first column on the editorial page of each issue is devoted to “editor ial notes,” where will be found a brief resume of that portion of the world's news for the week which may not be reported in full elsewliEre. By this means I one can subscribe to The News alone and feel that there is nothing of interest during the week which has not been brought to his attention. The| most humble citizen is thus en-! abled to keep up with the march of progress. The paper will be sent to any' address for the per- i iod of three months for the small outlay of twenty-five- cents, and we guarantee that anyone who tries it for that period will be sure to renew his subscription when it expires. Two Tillinanitj Caucuses. Delegates from eight of the Democratic Clubs in favor of Tillman held a caucus at Swift Creek on Monday, the day be fore the meeting of the County ! Convention. These clubs were Swift Creek, Society Hill, Leav- ; ensworth, Stokes Bridge, Harts-, ! ville, Cypress, High Hill, and i oue other whose name we did ( not learn. The question of en dorsing certain persons for the various County offices was warmly and fully discussed, and while, owing to the variety of | opinions which existed, no posi tive conclusion was reached, | we are informed that the follow ing was about the “slate” de-1 termined upon : Senator, J. W. Beaslev ; Representatives, H. C. Burn, J. S. DuBose, P. A. Wil son ; County' Commissioners, C. R. King. A. A. Gandy, W. W. McKenzie; Auditor, W. H. Lawrence; Treasurer, J. E. Bass. No action was taken in i regard to the offices of Judge of Probate, School Commissioner, Supervisor of Registration, Jury I Commissioner and Coroner, as no time remained for their con sideration. after the other mat ters had been disposed of. It is said that due attention will be given to these offices on some future occasion. Mr. T. E. Early is understood to have the endorsement of the Swift Creek Club, and of the delegates of at j least two other clubs, for the office of Supervisor of Registra tion. A second caucus of the Till man element of the party was held in the Court House at ten : o’clock on Tuesday, just before the meeting of the County Con vention. All of the Tillman delegates were present at this caucus, which proceeded to out line the policy of the Tillmanites before the Convention. “Slates” naming the officers of the Convention, as well as the delegates to the State Conven tions of August and September, were duly drawn up. As far as we could ascertain, the “slate” for filling the County offices as drawn up by the Swift Creek i Caucus was virtually endorsed by the caucus of Tuesday morn ing. M. A. A. Gandy desired to withdraw his name as a can didate for County Commission- ; er. but was prevailed upon not to do so We are further inform ed that Capt, John Floyd was strongly urged as a Representa tive, but as far as we can learn he did not receive the endorse- ; ment of the caucuses, -•« • Tlic County Convention. The Democratic County Con- vention was called to order in the Court House at twelve o’clock on Tuesday by Mr. J. W. Beasley, the County Chairman. Messrs. J. M.Waddill, J. C. Willcox, and J. C. Wilson were appointed as the committee on credentials. After a short ab sence this committee returned and reported the list of delegates, which is published in another column. All of these delegates were in favor of Tillman with the exception of twenty-four, repre sentatives of the following clubs: Darlington 20, Palmetto 3, Ebe- nezer 1. The following officers were then elected : J. N. Parrott, President, T. E. Early, Vice- President ; W. H. Lawrence, Secretary' ;G. W. Stith,assistant Secretary.. Mr. H. C. Burn read the fol lowing “slate” prepared by the caucus as the delegation to the State Convention in August: W. W. McKenzie, H. C. Burn, J. N. Parrott. W. H. Lawrence, T. E. Farly, W. P. Woodham, J. W. Woodham, T. L. North- cutt. Mr. Burn explained that all of these gentlemen were pledged to oppose a State pri mary'. They were, of course, elected without any visible op position. Mr. Burn then read the caucus “slate” for the Sep tember State Convention as fol lows : J. W. Davis, J. P. Kir- ven, J. W. Fountain, R. L. Bass, Sam Odom, W. R. S. Lawson, J. E. Miller, W. F. Wilkes. As the call under which the meeting was held had not referred to the election of delegates to the Sep tember Convention, and as, in fact, it is not yet known wheth er there will be any such con vention, the patent injustice of the majority was so apparent that the anti-Tillmanites made a slight effort to check them here but without avail. Mr. Burn then read the following names of the proposed delegates to the Congressional Convention: J. M. Waddill, J. O. Howard, Wesley Moore, S. E. Moore, M. W. Harris, G. B. Howie, J. C. Wilson, F. E. Stokes. As this Congressional Convention has not even been ordered by the Democratic party, and as the time and place of holding it, and all other things connected with it, are equally problematic, an other effort in the interest of fair play was made by the mi nority, but again without effec ting anything. On the recommendation of the several delegations, the follow ing were elected members of the County Executive Committee: J. W. Davis, Antioch; T. L. Northcutt, Cypress; W. F. Dar gan, Darlington ; G. M. Kilgore, Hartsville : J. N. Parrott, High Hill; J. W. Ferguson, Leavens- worth; S. Lane, Lisbon : W. R. S. Lawson, Lydia ; J. W. Foun tain, MechanicsviHe ; R. H. Ro gers, Palmetto; Walter Vaughn, Philadelphia : E. E. Evans, So ciety Hill; S. F. Moore, Stokes Bridge ; Jos. B. Rhodes, Swift Creek. Mr. J. W. Beasley was re-elected Chairman of the Com mittee without opposition. Mr. J. E. Large, the delegate from Ebenezer, said that the members of his club resided in a portion of Ebenezer which had remained in Darlington on the division of the County, and ask ed that they be allowed a repre sentation on the Executive Com mittee. His request created considerable argument, but a motion to comply' with it was finally defeated. Mr. Large seemed at a loss to know what to do with the small flock whom he represented, as they appear ed to be “left out in the cold,” , here. and renewed the attack by' ask- ,, ^ ! —Bessie, th —Messrs.

All of the proceedings of the Conver tion passed off quietly and good-ratureuly. and nobody got angry'. The Tillmanites, of course, controlled everything, and held their own with a firm hand, evidently enjoying the situation hugely. Whenever a little daughter of Mr. T. J. Bell, is quite sick Walter, his five-year old sen, fell from a fence last week, and broke his coljar-boue. This is the second time the little feiiow has met with this misfortune.

From the fact that they were not made on Tuesday when the Tillmanites had thorough control of the body, and took advantage of it to elect dele gates to conventions which may exist only in the imagination, it is fair to presume that, not withstanding the two caucuses of several hours each, the divis ion of the spoils has not yet been determined upon to the saf •- faction of all parties concerned. houses in the country.
