Parham, of Darlington, one day last week picked out 201 pounds of cotton. Who of his age can beat it ?” Ladies, seamstresses, house keepers, why do you use old worn, heavy machines, when you can buy the light-running, improved New Home or Wheel er & Wilson, on easy terms of Blackwell Bros.? • At the entertainment given recently at Fair Hojie Church, for the purposes of raising funds for the completion of the new school house which has been erected in that neighborhood, the neat sum of $45 was realized.

In two days and a half this week he hauled no less than 600 bales to the depot for Mr. C. R. Woods. being the apparent cause of his trouble, and it took two cus todians of the peace to hold him down. A friend of his drove out of town a few moments ^ afterwards, whipping his mule ^ Wicked Cotton Buyer-1 in great fashion, and hurling One of the leading cotton men definace at the police. _He too community was engaged recently in trading with one of his customers, when a peculiar accident overtook him. He had negotiated for the old colored man’s lone bale of cotton, his cart, and his rope harness, and was busily engaged in weighing his ox, when a huge limb fell without warning from a large oak tree under which the scales were situated, and came within an ace of reducing the buyer to that condition when the price of cotton and the size of samples are matters of no interest what soever. Someone called out to him to look out, and as the limb descended, he dodged out of the way and ran against a lamp- post, almost demolishing it, and skinning both knee-pans with long gashes, the scars of which he will carry to his grave. Be it understood that this tree had withstood the storms of two centuries, the earthquake, and the cyclone, without even shed ding a single bough; great then must have been the provo cation for it to have acted in this incomprehensible manner under a cloudless sky, and with not a breath of air stirring. The limb has been cut up into fire wood, and netted almost a cord, which is now piled up on one of our side streets, as an evidence of the correctness of every word which is here written concern ing it. see the the thoroughly the art of buying to the best advantage, and is thus enabled to supply the trade with the very best articles which the markets of the North afford at the lowest possible prices. His line of dress goods and notions is unsurpassed in this section, and his store at this season of the year is the daily scene of a rush of pur chasers from all sections of the County, who come in to see the many bargains which he offers. The visitor to town who goes away without having seen the stock in I ‘corn’s Cn.ablishraent, h»s passed by one of the leading features of the place, and will surely suffer for neglecting his opportunities. ■ i A New Comet in the Politics! Heavens Editor Darlington News: The political contest is now over. It was, while it lasted, a struggle of giants. Two renown ed gladiators wrestled in the arena for victory. As they clutched and whirled each other round, as they turned and twist ed, their tendons seemed to crack and their muscles stood out like whip-cords from the in tense strain and effort. Tillman finally managed to throw his noble opponent; everything was fair, there was no hitting below the belt. Forty-three States formed the amphitheatre from which was witnessed this con test of giants. Since, the spec tators have dispersed from the a ena and the referee has given the prize to the winner. To change the figure a little and drop into a slower method, what do we behold ? A prominent politician, and one of the irre- concilables, slips the socket and bolts the Democratic orbit. He poses before the public, or wish es to, as a political comet with a bright silver head, while be hind it streams a lon<j black tail. All political astronomers whose glasses are now levelled on the political sky, will watch this comet with considerable curios ity and wonder, because all their annals for hundreds of years have never chronicled a comet that came within the field of their glasses whose contexture was so incongruous as this one. But the battle is now really over; the shouts of the contend ing hosts and the clash of their arms has been buried in the past. The political war drum throbs no longer ! “Anti-Tillman” lies with a bullet through his noble, generous heart, while his stiffen ed fingers still clutch his straight out banner. The pity of it, oh, the pity of it! But let us give him the grandest funeral that ever was seen, and after drop ping our repentent tears upon the cold corpse, we can return lamenting to our loves, and all will be “rosy” once again. “Silver Arrow.” —Mr. Joseph Brown is quite ill. He is sunering from an ab scess in his throat, and has not been able to eat for two weeks. His physician, however, still entertains hopes of his final re covery. —J. B. Witherspoon made a liberal offer last week. To the individual who would secure sufficient hands to pick ten bales of cotton, he agreed to pay $5 and to give each picker 50 cents per hundred, but no one took him up. Mr. Witherspoon’s offer is still open when the weather clears up. —Miss Salhe Croswell return ed last Monday to the Female College at All Healing Springs, and was accompanied by her cousin, a daughter of Mr. R. M. Josey, together with three oth er young ladies from Lydia, the daughters respectively of Messrs Talley Harrell, John H. Kelly and Thos. King. We tender these young ladies our congrat ulations upon their wise course, and wish them a pleasant and profitable session. —The continued rains are be coming very distressing to us ; the cotton is damaged every day rov, but if we had a few weeks, fair weather we could soon catch up, though most of the cotton picked after this will look blue and stained. Now, Darlington cotton buyers, don’t tell us you want no blue cotton in yours; if you do, we are going Hartsville and Bishopville; s and to jpv these buyers buy all kinds pay good prices. —Our pastor, Rev. W. O. Pet ty, tendered his resignation last Sunday, to take effect on the fourth Sunday in December. He agreed last winter to serve us one year more, but now his res ignation is final, and he and his amiable family will leave us to theregretof many warm friends. We are glad thei * lot was cast among us for the past six and a half years, during which time; by his discourse they have endeared themselves to us, and we shall be rejoiced to know that they have found a desirable home in another field. PHILADELPHIA. —Mr. John Gamer, who went to Texas last winter ta engage in the sale of Hitchcock’s An alysis of the Bible, has returned home. —Mr. Joe Pipkin, while in a fisticuff with a negro, Tom Hol loway, last Thursday evening, struck the African an awkward blow on the “noggin” and broke his arm above the wrist.

Rhodes has been very low with typhoid fever. —The indications are favorable for an early frost this year. —We will be in time next year on the bagging question, and expect to have bagging to sell. —The present ramy and clou dy weather has damaged corn, cotton and peavine hay consid erably. —We don’t think that the Hon. Henry Clay Burn will have any trouble on the Tillman ticket, for he will be a hard man to beat. —There will be very few who will bolt from the convention nominees in Swift Creek ; near ly all are opposed to such a course. —Mr. G. B. Howie and J. T. Rhodes are now prepared to make all the molasses that the county can use, and they guar antee that their work will be performed satisfactorily. —The Rev. J. K. McCain preached a very strong sermon at Bethel Church on last Sun day evening on repentance after death, and the largo congrega tion present were carried away A full suit of boy’s clothing for $1.50! It is hard to believe it, but the most incredulous will be convinced by calling at Mar co & Lewenthal’s. This firm, one of the oldest in Darlington, is determined to keep abreast of the times, as they have always done heretofore, and are mak ing a specialty this year of men’s, youth’s and boy’s cloth ing. Read their advertisement, and ponder over some of the bargains which they offer. After a week of the very hardest kind of labor, the “Racket man” is at last in his new quarters—the large brick store formerly occupied by the Enterprise Grocery—and for tha first time since he has been in Darlington, is able to afford his customers some idea of stock which he carries. Mr. Shepard is determined to make the people of Darlington “open their eyes” this season, so it would be well to keep a lookout foe his announcements which are to appear in these columns from time to time. For School Commissioner. To the Voters of Dorlington County: I beg to announce to you that I am ntill a eundidate fer the office of School Commissioner. I am notan Independ ent candidate, but claim to be the nominee of the convention. I was not present at it, but am informed by a great many who were, that 1 was twice nominated fairly and honestly. First by the ayes and secondly by a standing vote. If this be so, 1 appeal confidently to the people to do justice to me. The office of School Commis sioner should depend solely upon the character of the man and his qualifi cations as a teacher. You have my record before you, let me be judged by it.

Can any of your readers beat that ? —Our farmers are having very bad weather for picking cotton. Pickers are getting from 40 to 55 cents per hundred, and we hear of some even being paid in advance, but they are i hard to be found at any price. —The latest style of borrow ing The News is to take it out of the postoffice, and after pe rusing it, return it so the owner will get it when it is two weeks old.

Go where you will, open the pages of whatever book or magzine you will find this That Increase In The State Debt. Editor Darlington News: Your Philadelphia c o r r e- spondent would not mind tell ing you “where he got his in formation” as to the increase of the State Debt. By reference to the Christian Neighbor of Aug. 21, 1890, you will find under the heading, “The State Debt; Is the State ment True?”, the following: “The work of the division of the Census Department having charge of State and local finances has so far advanced as to ena ble the commissioners to issue advanced bulletins, showing “a summary of the outstanding debts of the several States, on June 1,1880, and June 1,1890, or dates nearest thereto for which reports are obtainable.” From the statement just received, hearing date August 6th, the following are the figures relat ing to South Carolina : ‘Bonded on Monday, and will then i>.' ev ‘’ r y m0 nth.

Mr. A. J. Broom is the sole agent for it in Darlington, but while he devotes considerable atten tion to its sale, and finds it difficult to keep on hand a suffi cient supply toj meet the de mands of hismany customers, it must not be supposed for one moment that this is all he ig t< debt, 1880, $6,146,596.92; bonded debt, 1890, $6,375,049.41; float ing debt, 1890, $191,800; cash and funds on hand, 1880, $264,- 736.96; cash and funds on hands, 1890, $93,373.03; net debt, 1880, $5, 881,858.96; net debt, 1890, $6,473,476.38.’ Fourteen years since the redemption of the State from Republican rule, and during the last ten years an in crease of the State debt of $592,- 617/2 ! If there is no incorrect ness in those figures the present is a fit time for some body to rise and explain. It is hoped that if there is error in some of those figures a correction will be something less discreditable to Democratic administration.” Without “pretending to be lieve Tillman’s slanders against the State Government”, and disclaiming any intention to make either direct or “indirect charges to accomplish his pur pose by skilfully worded insin uations”, this correspondent will continue to put his figures “down so fine”, and to ask such questions as will tend to elicit the truth.
