FOIL THE JUTE TIU’ST.
Lamar Alliance has ordered
about five thousand pounds of
cotton bagging made of flax
and hemp for the use of its
members this fall. This bag
ging is obtained from the North
ern importers of such commodi
ties as coffee and sugar, and is
first used in bringing those ar
ticles to thi's country. After it
has beeri used for this purpose,
it i’J said that it still answers
admirably well for the bagging
of cotton, and it has therefore
been placed on the market at
about six cents a pound, a very
much smaller price than the
“trust” bagging, which is still
selling at fourteen centsapound.
It seems as if the mills will not
be able to turn out a sufficient
quantity of bagging made of
cotton to answer our purposes
during the coming season. It
would therefore be wise] for
every Alliance in the county to
follow the example of the Lamar
Alliance, and by making their
arrangements now for obtain
ing their bagging, again foil
the “jute trust.”

GENERAL MOORE’S SENSITIVE
FRIENDS.
The campaign meeting at
Hampton on Friday was one of
the most disorderly yet held,
and for some time during its
progress the danger of a serious
riot was imminent. The trou
ble arose from Capt. Tillman
accusing Gen. Moore, the Sena
tor from Hampton County, of
being a perjurer. Gen. Moore
is greatly beloved in Hampton,
and his friends, strange to say,
could not submit quietly to his
being charged with a crime
which, if true, should land him
behind the bars of the peniten
tiary, and which, if not true,
should foreverer blast the char
acter of him who makes the ac
cusation.
AN AGRICULTUEL CONTEST.
The Darlington Agricultural
Fair Company has offered a
prize at their Fall Fair to the
Alliance in the County present
ing the best agricultural exhibit.
This public spirited organiza
tion has been laboring for the
advancement of the farming in
terests of the County for many
years past, and it is to be hoped
that their latest venture will
meet with the encouragement
it deserves. Let every Alliance
in the County enter the coptest,
and we will have an exhibition
in the fall which will reflect
credit upon the Order, as well
as upon Darlington County.
An Appeal tor Unity.
Editor Darlington News:
as to our choice of them. When
the matter is settled in the State
convention, however, why sure
ly every white son of South Car
olina, who wants white suprem
acy, who loves his country and
claims the name of a true Dem
ocrat, will lay aside all preju
dices and vote for the people’s
candidate. We cannot afford to
split. As good Democrats we
must not for a moment allow
ourselves to entertain such an
idea. It is needless to say tha*
the majority must and will rule.
It is our duty to submit to the
majority. Although the town
of Darlington elected anti-Till
man delegates to the count,
convention, yet we have sue
confidence in the best men of
the town, that if Tillman gets
the nomination, we believe they
will come up squarely as good
Democrats and cast their votes
for him.
No doubt both factions have
been too bitter in their denun
ciations. We are uaturallv in
clined to err when we exhibit
too much enthusiasm. We have
not respected each other’s feel
ings as we should have done, it
is very discourteous and ungen-
tlemanly to abuse a friend’s can
didate in bis presence. It is very
unbecoming for a majority to
tyrannize over a minority in
public or in private. While we
may rejoice over our success,
yet we can sympathize with our
unsuccessful opponents. Amid
so much strife there has natur
ally been some wounds inflicted;
let us see to it that they are
healed as speedily as possible.
We claim that we are fighting
rings and monopolies and let us
see to it that we are not led by
extremists. The Lord deliver
us from an extremist who wants
office ! We need the best men
to correct any abuses in our gov
ernment, and to enact whole
some laws; we want honest,
good thinking men ; men with
broad and liberal views; men
who when they enact laws will
consider the welfare of all clas
ses and professions. Don’t let a
few men meet, bargain and name
our ticket. We want no ring ;
let us endeavor to encourage our
best men to come out; let the
say who our officers shall
Then we will have achiev
ed what we have been fighting
for; that’s the kind of reform we
want, On our legislative body
rests the welfare of all our peo
ple ; let us have men there who
can shoulder the responsibility
and they will reflect credit on
the Farmers’ Movement.
“Tillman and Harmony.”
The Rale ot the Dictators.
Editor Darlington News:
We are sorry to have to say
that we do not approve of the
acts of our delegates on Tuesday
of last week. We did not in
tend to make them general dic
tators for the future,but it seems
that they assumed that power,
and went to work to map out
the future for us. Now, gentle
men, we feel bound to stick to
you as far as you had the right
to go, and no farther. You had
better slack up the rope a little ;
we are choked worse now than
ever. Who on earth told you to
take all the rights we had in
the county offices ? What did
we start out to do if it was not
to kick out of just such gaggers,
and here it comes again and this
time from our own side. We
did trust that we were advocat
ing a party that would act fair
ly, but we fear now that we
have missed it.

The Hon. George W. Dargan
has determined not to be a can
didate for re-election to Congress
from the 6th district, and has is
sued an address to his consti
tuents apprising them of the fact.
Please allow me to express an His address is published in The

situation, or rather give a few will be read with regret not on-
words of advice in the way of I ly by the voters of the 6th dis
tempering the bitterness that { trict but by the Democratic
has been engendered between ‘
the two factions of the Demo-:
Mr. Dargan has displayed a per
feet acquaintance with the ques
tions discussed and has afforded
evidence of his thorough ground
ing in the principles of the Dem
ocratic party. His views on the
tariff, on financial problems, and
on legal and constitutional ques
tions have been expressed with
great effect, and the positions
to which he has been assignd
on the committees of the House
testify to the appreciation of his
services in Congress. It was
hoped that he would be returned
to Congress for at least one more
term, and his retirement to pri
vate life is to be regretted, be
cause it is a public loss.
New men in Congress, what
ever their qualifications, cannot
render the most effective service,
It requires time and experience
to fit a Congressman for the dis
charge of his duties. Length of
service as well as ability is nec
essary to give position and
weight. South Carolina and the
South will need their best and
most experienced representatives
at Washington in the next Con
gress, and for this reason, aside
from our high personal regard
for Mr. Dargan, we regret that
he has dropped out of the race.
Of course, however, there will
be someone to take Mr. Dargan’s
vacant seat and of course the
6th district is full of good Con
gressional timber. We do not
know who the candidates will
be, but we have heard that Col.
E. T. Stackhouse, of Marion,
ex-president of the Farmers'
State Alliance, and Col. C. S.
McCall, of Marlboro, will be
contestants for the office. Pro
bably others will come forward
to make the race, unless the
Democrats of the district, Alli
ance men and all, will come to
gether and insist that Mr. Dar
gan shall stand for at least one
more term. Whatever course
shall be pursued, and whoever
shall be nominated, we know
that the Democrats of the 6th
district will not be able to se
cure the services of a more capa
ble, honest, high-minded Repre
sentative than George W. Dar
gan.
A Memorable Reunion—Fsn for “The
Hoys”—Deliffhliol Uke George
One of the leading features of
the commencement exercises at
Union College this year was the
reunion of the class of 1880,
whose members assembled from
all parts of the country to at
tend the tenth anniversary of
their graduation. A large ban
ner hanging upon the outer
walls of one of the most impos
ing of the college buildings, and
bearing the inscription, “Union,
’80,” followed by “Hikah,” the
old college war-cry which has
resounded through the Mohawk
Valley for many decades past,
marked the rallying point for
“the boys” of ’80.
The ten years of a man’s life
which he passes from twenty to
thirty make, asja general rule,
a marked change in his personal
appearance, and most of “the
boys” who assembled on this oc-
cation proved no exception to
the rule. One or two of them,
muffied up to their eye-brows in
whiskers, could have easily con
cealed their identity but for the
expression of their eyes. On
many a brow the snowy fingers
of old Winter had left their
mark, while his evident partial
ity for one or two of them had
rendered them quite venerable
and distinguished looking. The
pericraniums of quite a number,
(notably those who had ventur
ed out upon the troubled sea of
matrimony), were conspicuous
for their growing tendency to
sterility. It was pleasant to
note, however, that few of the
“crow’s feet” of care were visi
ble.
The class banquet was held at
“The Edison” on the evening of
June 24th. There were no less
than three South Carolinians
down for toasts. Mr. J. M. Mc-
Master, formerly of Columbia,
but now of Birmingham, Ala
bama, was unfortunately ab-(J
sent, but the toast to “Our Quit-
uates ’ was eloquently respond
ed to by Mr. E. M. Gadsden, a
native of Charleston now living
in Washington, D. C. As was
to be expected under such cir
cumstances, this banquet was
the scene of many a pleasant in
cident. Old friendships
eratzny one time and place
would make a most enormous
fleet. In addition to the Large
iteamers which run regular
schedules up and down the
small steam launches ca-
accommodating parties
of from ten to fifteen persons,
can be chartered to make the
trip from Fort William Henry
at the foot of the lake to Fort
Ticonderoga at its head. Near
the latter point the waters of
Lake George are discharged into
Lake Champlain.
To describe in detail all the
wonderful beauties of nature
passed on this route, and to re
cord all the points of historic in
terest to be seen, would require
far more space than is now at
our command. Suffice it to say,
that for the Carolinian who may
wish to find a quiet and most
delightful summer resort Lake
George has no superior in this
country. It is a mistake, too, to
suppose that the expense inci
dent to such a trip is necessarily
great. Of course, if one wishes
to do so, he can spend as much
money there in a day as he could
anywhere e’.se in the world ; but,
at the same time, delightful ac
commodations are to be had at
reasonable rates. The most
beautiful section of the lake in
our judgment is to be found in
the neighborhood of Bolton,
about fifteen miles from its foot.
At Bolton is located the Lake
View House, presided over by
Mr. R. J. Brown, a model land
lord, who is untiring in his ef
forts to amuse and entertain his
guests.
Within a stone’s throw of the
Lake View House, is situated
the cottage of Mr. Alexander,
on a high bluff of rock jutting
out into the lake. While under
his hospitable roof, each of “the
boys” of ’80 was allowed to
amuse himself in such manner
as was best suited to his tastes.
The lover of rowing, fishing,
canoeing, swimming, mountain
climbing, sailing, riding, play-
tennis or base ball, each
mg
life was very interesting.
Another noticeable feature of
the meeting was the absence of
all political discussion, which
was rather strange, too, at a
gathering of so many citizens at
this time of political excitement.
They all seemed to have some
thing better in view than dis
cussing politics. Everybody en
joyed the dayand appreciated the
hospitality of Mrs. King In fur
nishing them with such a fine
dinner. There was a general
expression to the effect that
everybody would be present at
the next meeting, which will be
held on the last Thursday in
Julv 1891.

[Charleston World, Aug. 1.]
The funeral services of the
late Mr. J. F. Early were per
formed yesterday afternoon at
St. Patrick’s church, the Rev.
J. J. Monaghan officiating, and
a very numerous gathering of
the friends and admirers of the
deceased being present. An im
pressive musical service formed
a part of the ceremonies, ren
dered by a volunteer choir of
ladies and gentlemen under the
direction of Mr. John Kennedy,
the organist of the church.
Mr. Early was a Charleston
ian by birth, and is to be num
bered among the soldiers who
did noble duty for the Confed
eracy during the late war. At
its close he commenced business
in this city as a cotton factor,
but afterwards removed to Dar
lington. where his home has
been ever since, and where his
business abilities and many es
timable qualities rendered him
very popular and made him a
much valued member of the
community.
His remains reached Charles

his nearness to eternity.
