A New Use for a Cornet. A correspondent of the Charl eston World, writing from La mar under date of Sept. 9, says : “A difficulty occurred last Thurs day night, on Mr. A. B. Wind ham’s place near here, between Jeff Cooper and Lewis Holoman (both colored) in which Cooper was pretty badly used up. The weapons used were pistols and brass horns. It seems that the Windhamtown brass band had met for the purpose of practising, when the difficulty occurred. Cooper drew his pistol and tried to shoot Holoman, but the wea pon failed to fire. Meantime Holoman made a drum of Coop er’s head, and used a brass cor net for a drumstick, which did not prove to be as good metal as Cooper’s head, so he drew his pistol and fired. The ball took effect in Cooper’s thigh, inflict ing a slight wound.” was found that he had been poi soned. His wife, Mary A. John son, and one David J. Jacobs were charged with the crime, it being the theory of the State that the woman obtained some strychnine from Jacobs and mixed it with quinine which she administered to her husband. The trial of the parties came off at Chesterfield C. H. last week. The details developed were of a shocking character, and were very damaging to the defenda n t s , notwithstanding which fact the jury were unable to agree on a verdict, standing ten for conviction and two for acquittal. A mistrial was or dered, and the defendants were returned to jail to await a second trial at the next term of the Court. est force of salesmen they have ever had, and two more will commence with them next week, which fact speaks for itself. the A New Jewelry Store.

It is feared that the unusual ly heavy rains which we have had recently, particularly the one last Friday night, have done considerable damage to the cotton. It still continues to pour in, however, exactly 2,600 bales having been shipped from the depot, an increase of nearly nine hundred for the five days since our last report. If we add to this 200 bales purchased by the factory, and 400 which are now in town, but which have not been shipped, it will be seen Military Inspection and Drill The annual inspection of Darlington Guards will be con ducted by General Janies at their armory, Friday evening, Sept. 26. At the conclusion of the inspection a competitive drill will be held in the manual of arms to determine who is the best drilled soldier in the corps. The evening will conclude with a banquet and hop which will be enjoyed by the Guards and some of their lady friends. The com mittee of arrangements for the occasion is composed of Lieu tenant B. Williamson, Surgeon W. J. Garner, Sergt. R. E. James and Privates A. S. Mc- Iver and E. C. Orrell. An aux iliary committee of ladies con sisting of Mrs. G. W. Dargan, Mrs. E. R. Mclver, Mrs. F. E. Norment, and Misses Corinne Player, Annie E. Williamson and Mary Zimmerman, has been appointed to assist “the boys” in making the necessary prepa rations for their entertainment. The occasion will probably be marked by the usual success which has * heretofore attended all entertainments given by the Guards, and the young people are looking forward to it with considerable pleasure. Hawley, “The Gay Lothario.” Sheriff Cole returned from Atlanta last week having in his custody Hawley, “the gay Lothario”, a partial account of whose exploits was contained in the last issue of The News. The statements contained in that account were gl e a n e d chiefly from the Atlanta papers, whicli alleged further that Hawley’s Georgia wife, who was a rich widow when he married her, died very suddenly ami under such peculiar cir cumstances that he was strong ly suspected of having poisoned her, but there was not enough evidence to convict him of the crime. From the same source we also learn that Hawley, anticipating no further trouble on account of his past misdeeds, had made preparations by corre spondence for another courtship and marriage as soon as he should have been released from the Atlanta penitentiary. The young woman in the case is an Alabamian of good) family but credulous to a notable degree. Just how the correspondence between them begun does not appear, but Hawley wrote her that he had extensive posses sions in Florida and elsewhere, and made love to her seriously. He informed her that he had on hand at present a contract for a large amount of brick, but that The State Convention.

The old man’s bump of self- conceit grows larger as he grows older, his weakness is demonst rated in his efforts with your “Combine” to insult the Major ity of the party. You three, “Senex”, and two Editors knew the information furnished was incorrect and had not a shadow of foundation, except the . »riy, claiming to be a Democrat, and condemning Gov. Richardson for appointing Democratic Elec tion Commissioners. Who ever heard of such a thing ? What next ? Mr. Burn must certain ly feel that his claim on the peo ple is very small and uncertain. If ho is beat in November (and it seems that ho must have some fears or he would not want a board of his own selection) he must not blame the Commission ers, but should blamo himself for trying to boss and bamboozle the people.

The strongest indication of the rapid and unprecedented growth of the town of Darling ton is nowhere more manifest than in the large increase of the postoffice business during the past few years. The money orders and postal notes pur chased at this office last week amounted to no less a sum than $940. Great dissatisfaction exists in Florence County in regard to the ticket which was recently nominated, and it is probable that there will be two full tick ets in the field for county offices and the legislature.
