THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1890. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS The correspondents of The Darlington News throughout the County are particularly requested to bear in mind that we greatly desire to have from them as often as possible, (the oftener the better), the local events of their respective sec tions.

It said that the colored Alliance will ran a candidate for Congress against Brawley in the First District. The Convention of the Sixth Con gressional District assembled at Rock Hill yesterday. The name of A. A. Pollock, of Cneraw, was withdrawn from the contest, and J. J. Hemphill was renominated by acclamation. A severe cold wave, the earliest known for years, struck the States of Dakota. Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and the northern parts of the States of Texas, Illinois and Missouri on Satur day last The frost was very heavy, aud did eonsiderable damage. The postoffice department issued on Tuesday an order discontinuing the postoffice at Bishonville. The office pays a salary of $200 i»er year. The postmaster-general says that if the people of Bishopville will not stand a negro postmaster, they will have to do without a postofBce. At a big church festival at C&llerins. Davis Count y, Alabama, on Sunday, a hundred colored people ate some barbecued |>ork, which had been poisoned with arsenic by unknown parties. Eight of the number died immediately after eating the meat, and twenty others are not ex|>ected to recover. Gov. Richardson has declined to accede to the request that tie rescind the appointments of commissioners of election recently made by him The Governor takes the ground that the reasons urged in asking for the re moval of these gentlemen is insuffi cient ; that they are among the most intelligent aud patriotic men in the land; and that the appointments were not made until the last dis allowed by law, so as to permit of any suggestions that might be offered him in regard to the matter, hut that no such suggestions were ever made. Reports received at Asheville, N. C., from a number of reliable citizens in the neighborhood of Bee Tree Creek, a tributary of the Newanee River, twelve miles east of that city, state that for the third time since the Charleston earthquake smoke has for some days lieen regularly emitted in considerable volume from seven mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge chain. The peaks have come to be designated the ‘'Seven smoking mountains." The occurrence has ex cited the entire region in which the sin ke is visible and many of the |>eopie are greatly alarmed. ’ in recognized leader of the Tillman element in Darlington County was charged with being a Radi cal in 1876, and that he was so recorded in a printed list of the white voters of Darlington ,. . . . , T , which he wishes to remain un- County which was prepared by!. ... .. , ,, ^ ^. .. impaired by the wiles of the the County Democratic Lxecu- , ‘ , , tive Committee.

He deliberately charges The Darlington News with disloyalty. Unless we were disloyal because we differ ed from him in our opinion as to who should he chosen as the Democratic candid ate for Governor, his charge is false upon its face. But let us come to the real question at issue, was Mr. Wad- dill a Republican in 1876? There are some who insist that he was, hut he denies the accu sation most vehemently,'* so we will let that go. He acknowl edges, however, that he was guilty of the “political disloyal ty” of not voting in 1876. With out going beyond what he him self admits to be the case, we think that we will have the en dorsement of the Democratic party of Darlington County vo rhil spqndent” a little kick, speak of nis serving you for “a stipend,” and attempt to degrade and belittle the posi tion of correspondent.

Mr. Burn insin uates that four articles besides his were rejected by us, hut does not attempt to substantiate what must therefore remain as a simple assertion on his part. It is hardly necessary to add that our very natural indig nation during the reading of Mr. Bum’s resolutions at the County Convention was not aroused by the statement that there was to be another paper in Darlington, hut by the false and misleading'assertions upon which the necessity for a third paper was predicated.

Is a “mi nority of a minority” to have two, and all the rest no paper ? Are you “Sir Oracle to make the Law and Expound it too ? La mentable indeed is the wail that conies from Collumbia “Pa tience has ceased to be a virtue” Oh my patience ! Oh My vir tue ! All Lost! It dont take an Ear trumpet a telephone or “3 ears” to hear Enough to smash friendship, business, and papers. Those who wrecklessly assail character uncaring for the dis tress given to innocent hearts surely have not properly weigh ed and valued the priceless Jew ell. What are the facts. I have allways defended Capt Thomson and all who were dear to him. All ways respected him and treated him as a gentleman. I have never conciously, or with intent set out to injure either him or his paper, and I would like to'face the man who says so, and Let him tell me what & when & where. I do not wish to see the Darlington News sup planted, or its Editor injured in any wav. But I love my prin ciples better than I do Capt Thompson or his paper.
