IiOO.AXj XTEAffS (Continued From First Page.) A number of our lawyers were in Florence last week at tending Court. Mr. L. I. Parrott came up from Florence, where court was in session, on Friday last to at tend the inspection of the Dar lington Quards. While Mr. P. 8. Wilds was lifting a rail recently, he was accidentally struck in the side with it so severely that one of his ribs was broken. There were 207 pupils in at tendance at 8t. John’s Academy last week, 52 at the Factory School, and 150 at the Mayo School. Maj. H. L. Charles returned last week from his vacation, which was spent at the North, and is again at his post of duty in the People’s Bank. Mr. J. H. Norment has re turned from the mountains of North Carolina, and has accept ed a position with Messrs. Edwards, Norment & Co. That firm have also engaged the ser vices of Mr. Willie Coggeshall. Mr. J. B. Boseman, a theo logical student, preached at Swift Creek Church on Sunday, Sept. 20th. Mr. Boseman has returned to Greenville, where he is pursuing his studies for the ministry. Mr. Sydney S. Fraser, a cou sin of Mrs B. C. Norment’s, was on a visit here last week. Mr. Fraser made many friends in Darlington when he refugeed here during the war. This was his first visit to the place in twenty-six years. As will be seen from the an nouncement which appears in another column, Col. W. H. Evans is a candidate for the office of school commissioner, not by any means as an “inde pendent”, but as the probable nominee of the recent County Convention. The Republicans of the Sixth District met in convention at Florence on Thursday, and nom inated E. H. Deas for Congress. It is stated that Junius H. Ev ans, Esq., of Marion, was offer ed the support of the convention for Congress but that he declin ed it. Messrs. Edwards, Norment & Co. have a large ribbon show case which is capable of holding over $500 worth of that article, and of displaying it in such a way that the purchaser is ena bled at a glance to select the ex act width and shade desired. "The case is an unusually hand some one, and is well worth see ing. Six years ago this time there was not a vacant residence, office, or store in Darlington. Since then new buildings have been constantly erected, the population of the town has been doubled, and everybody has been accomodated with quar ters ; yet there is still not a single vacant residence or place of business in the town. One who happens to meet the passenger train on Saturday, either as it comes down in the morning or as it goes back at night, is struck with the large crowd of colored people who come down by rail irom points zation. The meetings are re gularly attended by the officers, and one or two of the members, and the good work which they are doing is constantly being made manifest. It is absolutely essential, however, that it re ceive the hearty support of all of its members in order that the greatest amount of good may oe done for the town. MM HEWXTT BXJIXJMNGs Darlington, S. C. A Treat In Store For The People of Darlington. The series of continued sto ries which is now running in The Darlington News is at tracting universal attention. Bret Harte never wrote any th ing yet that was not absorb ingly interesting, and the fact that he is the author of a story is sufficient guarantee that it is something good. The universal commendation with which our readers have received the one now running “Snow Bound at Eagle’s”, is very gratifying, and encourages us to continue a good work which meets with such hearty appreciation. “An Heiress of Red Dog Tavern”, one of the best of this great author’s works, will be begun in our issue of Oct. 9, ond on its conclusion will be followed in turn by four others for which we have recently purchased the copyrights. The masses are usually deprived of the pleasure of reading Bret Harte’s books as they copyrighted, and are sold only at $1 a volume. Dur ing the course of the next twelve months no less than five of them will be published in these columns. Ine price of the paper is $1 a year. Real Estate Transfers. The following transfers of real estate were recorded in the Auditor’s office for the week ending September 26 : I. Wein berg to Robt H. Stanley, one lot in Leavensworth Township for $35; Peter J. Byrd to Wilson Davis, 73 acres, Antioch Town ship, $500 ; Marco & Lewenthal to F. J. Pelzer, 1,039 acres in Lisbon, Antioch and Back Swamp Townships for $100; Se- phronia Joye to O. R.

C., will obtain your patent or answer your questions. We know them to be entirely trustworthy. Read their advertisement in an other column. Mr. Herbert Rhodes, a son of Mr. William Rhodes, of the Swift Creek section, met with a peculiar accident recently. He was hauling cotton to the gin, when a sheet filed with the staple broke loose from the pully and fell down upon a wagon, knocking one of the boards from the Tatter against young Rhodes’ leg with such force as to break it in two places. Information from Washing ton is to the effect that one- fourth of the amount required to complete the work on the Great Pee Dee River, or $12,500, is available for the current year, and this will be expended in removing channel obstruct ions. The commerce of this river, the engineers say, is rap- idlv increasing, and it is worthy of larger appropriations so as to more quickly bring the work to completion.

JOYE & SANDERS Call and examine their * NEW STOCK ^ JUST CUOTHXNG September 18, 1890 A Useful Organization. The attention of the members of the Board of Trade is earnest ly call to the necessity of k ing up that very useful The Guards Pass Muster. The annual inspection of the Darlington Guards came off on Friday night. Their handsome armory in the Hewitt building had been appropriately decorat ed for the occasion by their lady friends, and the brilliantly illuminated hall presented quite an attractive scene as the large crowd of invited guests began to assemble. Adjutant General Bonham was expected on the 8.30 train from Columbia, but as that train was two hours late, it was impossible to begin the exercises until almost eleven o’clock. The inspection was made by General James in the presence of the Adjutant Gener al. The company turned out 31 men rank an file, and pre sented a fine appearance. At the conclusion of the inspection ^ f u ]i ii ne 0 f Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s a prize drill m the manual was ’ J had to determine who was the best drilled man in the corps. H. T. Thompson, adjutant of Gen. James’ Brigade, acted as judge in this contest. The en tire company entered, but some ten or twelve of them were “turned down” on the first round. About cbe same num ber fell by the wayside on the second, and so on, until but two remained, Sergeants B. F. Williamson and R. E. James. Both of these gentlemen drilled beautifully, and it was difficult to decide to whom the victory belonged, but after a long and spirited contest it finally fell to Mr. Williamson. A handsome silver goblet which had been offered the succesful competitor was then presented in an ap propriate speech by Col. E. R. Mclver, after which, in response se to a unanimous call from the command, Gen. Bonham made a few elequent remarks, avail ing himself of the opportunity of bidding “the boys” an of ficial farewell. Brief speeches were also made by Capt. C. S. | Nettles and Gen. James. At the conclusion of the military fea- ;ures of the occasion, refresh ments wereserved,and theyoung j people present then cleared the hall and indulged in a dance. The entire affair was one of the lost enjoyable ever given in -his communty, and everything connected with it passed off pdeasaptly and smoothly. The Guards deserve the highest praise for the proficiency which they diplayed in the drill, and for the great success which attended all of their efforts to entertain.
