Woods has been elected secretary of the State University club. Miss Eva Lufsey, of Rich mond, is paying a visit to her school-mate Miss Alice Parrott. Mb. T. E. Howie, one of the leading farmers of the Jovann neighborhoo^ftias gone to Char leston to enter for his second term of medical lectures. The man who is contemplat ing building a house would do well to pay a visit to the Dar lington Planing Mill before pur chasing a dollar’s worth of ma terial elsewhere. The members of the Darling ton Bar held a meeting yes terday afternoon at the office of Messrs. Ward & Woods to ar range the roster for the ap proaching term. Foub hundred and fifty bales of cotton were purchased by the Darlington buyers on Fri day. In three days of last week, McCullough’s teams hauled 1,150 bale**- to the Factory and the depot. The work of laying the pipes for the water works has almost been completed, and the hy drants have been erected, five on the Square, and one each on Main, Pearl, and Cashua Streets. As the C. & D. train was leav ing Florence for Cheraw last Saturday night, a negro boy at tempted to board it for the pur pose of stealing a ride, when he fell, and his foot was badly mangled beneath the wheels. Nathanael Garland, a lad about fourteen years old. who works at the oil mill, had his foot very badly mashed in the elevator a few days ago. The wound was dressed by Dr. Gar ner, and the boy is doing about as well as could be expected. Our “political dodger” says that he never expects to vote for any man for Governor who has only one eye, and complains bitterly because the “straight- outs” could not find a “two- eyed” man to put up against Tillman. Messrs. McCall & Burch have just received a new line of men’s youth’s and boys’ clothing, the supply which they brought out at the first of the season having already disappeared, so great have been the demands made on them by their customers. A brass band from this county went over to Sumter last week to compete for a prize at the Sumter Colored State Fair As sociation, which was holding its annual meeting. The fair was a decided success in every re spect, the exhibition being ex tremely creditable to the color ed people of the State. It is rumored on the streets that Gen. W. E. James and Mr. T. E. Bell have been appointed by the Governor as commission ers of election for Darlington The barmers’Allia ice Ware-Ibe plentiful.

The supplement sent out this week containing the advertise ments of Edwards, Normeut & Co., McCullough. Blackwell & Co., N. L. Harrell & Co., and I the Darlington Oil Mill, was I prepared at The News office, and gives one a pretty good idea of what this “country news paper” can do in the way of getting up a display advertise ment. Mr. K. C. Barrett, the inspec tor of the Southern Express Company’s offices, was in town last week looking after the af fairs of the company at this place. Mr. Barrett now has 95 different points under his super vision, and he says that, with the exception of the large cities of North and South Carolina, Darlington ranks second in his list in the amount of business which is transacted. Sam Williams, the stranger who had his foot so badly mash ed by the train several weeks ago that it had to be amputated by Doctors Garner and Lunney, is getting on very well, and will be able to go about in a short time. As he was without home and friends, he was taken to the Poor House. Some of the ladies of the community have been very kind to him in his trouble, and have been out to see him frequently, carrying him food and clothing. Rev. P. B. Jackson, accom panied by members of his fam ily, is on a visit to his friends in Darlington. Mr. Jackson preached at the Methodist Church last Sunday morning and at the Baptist Church at night. Services at the Metho dist Church on Sunday night were conducted by the Rev. John 0. Willson, the Presiding Elder of the District. Mr. cotton is harvested. Let that confidence be justified, and re member that “ he gives twice who gives quickly.” Pee Dee Presbytery, The meeting of the Pee Dee Presbytery began at Conway on the 9th inst., at three o’clock in the afternoon. The opening sermon was preached by the re tiring Moderator, Rev. J. H. Dixon, from the text, “ Thy will be done.” Rev. J. G. Law was elected Moderator Rev. J. G. Richards, evangelist, was pres ent, and gave a very interest ing report of his labors within the bounds of Presbytery. Two new church organizations were reported both in Marlboro coun ty, at Tatum’s and Dunbar. Sixteen members were present at the meeting of Presbytery, seven ministers and nine ruling elders. Rev. R. M. Latimer was received into the body and ac cepted calls to Carolina and Kentyre in Marion county. Pastoral relations between Rev. E. G. Smith and Hopewell Church were dissolved, and he was dismissed to the Presbytery of Augusta, Ga., he having had a call to the church at Madison, Ga. The Presbytery devoted a good portion of its time to the consideration of the subjects of home and foreign missions. The body adjourned on Friday to meet at the call of the Moder ator during the sessions of the Synod, which is to be held at Yorkville on Tuesday next. The next regular meeting of the Presbytery will be held at Ben- nettsville, on the Thursday pre ceding the third Sunday in April, at 8 o’clock, P. M. Mr. 8. F. Ervin will represent the Darlington Church at the Synod next week.

One who wishes to be up with the times will be compelled to read J. Frank Early’s new advertisement which appears in this issue. This popular and re liable house purposes keeping themselves before the people of County to fill the vacancies the county by announcing their created by the resignations of ’ 1 v il ‘ u * u Messrs. J. B. Law and T. M. Smoot. It seems that Mr. J. M. James, the third commissioner appointed, has not resigned. latest bargains through t h (T columns of The News from time to time. Attention is call ed this week a large line of cus tom made shoes for ladies, miss- . , es and children. Their stock is In some unaccountable way j ar g e an( j varied, and the lady who cannot be suited by them must indeed be hard to please. Mr. George E. McCall’s lint room caught fire on Saturday, and would have been burnt to the ground but for the fact that a hose attached to the steam en- rine was put into play, and the James were promptly extin guished, the damage to the cot ton being only about $40. Visitors to Darlington should not fail to call in at Sultz- bacher’s jewerly store, next to Joye & Sanders’. His stock is a beautiful one, and will well repay a close examination. This is the place to buy as handsome wedding presents as ope can get for the same money by sending to Charleston or the North. Rev. J. F. Jacobs, a student of the Theological Seminary at Columbia, preached at the Pres byterian Church on Sunday last, both in the morning and at night, and made a very favora ble impression. Some special music was rendered by the choir in the morning, they being as sisted by- Mr. Charles Spinks, our talented cornetist. Mr. Ellison Cook, one of the employees at the Factory, died on Friday last, and was buried on the following day at the Baptist Church, near Mechan- icsville. He was the son of Mr. Doris Cook, of Meehaniesvilie, and was but 23 years old. His death was a peculiarly sad one, he having been married only about three months. A subscriber called at The News office a few days ago and asked when the circus was com ing to town. We did not know at first what he meant, but fi nally discovered that he had been misled by Mr. Hewitt’s display of handsome rugs, several of which, arranged to great advan tage in front of his place of —Rev. J. K. McCain preach ed a very able and convincing sermon on the first Sunday of the month at Wesley Chapel. —Rev. J. A. Rice, of Darling ton, occupied the pulpit of Wes ley Chapel last Sunday. His discourse was one of those mas terly productions which entitle him to be ranked among the foremost scholars in the South Carolina Conference. —The remains of Mr. Basset Sims were interred in the ceme tery on last Monday afternoon. Mr. Sims had reached the ripe age of eighty-three years at the time of his death. He had been a resident of this county his whole life, and had endured a great amount of physical labor. November 5tL The various method of county government county commis sioner system, which has never worked satisfactorily in this State. A Joint Resolution to amend Article IV of the Constitution of South Carolina, relating to the Judicial Department, by repealing Section Nineteen (19), which provides a Board of County Commissioners. Section i. Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, That the following amendment to the Constitution be submitted t o the qualified electors of the State at the next general elec tion, and if a majority of the electors qualified to vote for members of the General Assem bly voting thereon shall vote in favor of such amendment, and two thirds of each branch of the next General Assembly shall, after such election and before another, ratify the said amend ment by yeas and nays, Section nineteen (19) of Article IV of the Constitution, relating to the Judicial Department, which rovides for the election of a Oard of County Commissioners and prescribes the jurisdiction thereof, be repealed. Sec. 2. That the question of adopting this amendment shall be submitted to the electors as follows : Those in favor of the amendment shall deposit a bal lot with the following words plainly printed thereon: “Con stitutional Amendment repeal ing Section Ninteen (19), Arti cle IV, of the Constitution, which provides for a Board of County Commissioners and pre scribes the jurisdiction thereof —Yes.” Those opposed to said amendment shall cast a ballot with the following words plain ly printed or written thereon. “Constitutional Amendment re pealing Section Nineteen (19), Article IV, of the Constitution, which provides for a Board of County Commissioners and pre scribes the jurisdiction thereof —No.” Don’t forget our large fat No. 1 mackerel; first lot nearly all sold ; West & Honour.

Guerry will preach a special sermon to all the Orders in Florence on the fourth Sunday in this month. —Dr. Wallace, of Lydia, ex pects to locate here during the coming winter, which will be a great addition to this communi ty. He is a physician of vast experience, and is not only a graduate of the best institutions in the land, but he has all the qualities that go to make up the noble phvsician. —Mr. Henry H. Husbands is erecting a small but neat resi dence in east Florence, which will add greatly to the appear ance of that locality. Mr. Hus bands is one of our most deserv ing young men, having work ed himself up in our midst to the position of one of the most prosperous merchants in the place. —At this hour we cannot say much for the political future of South Carolina from a Florence standpoint- So far there are no Haskell clubs being organized. The first ticket nominated was so obnoxious to us that some thing had to be done ; we have put the purest men in our coun ty in nomination, and expect to elect them. So far as this coun ty is concerned, we had to show that we were not mere slaves, but that we have the unques tionable right to say who shall govern the intelligent people in this section of South Carolina. A Pretty Good Snake Story. The following snake story reaches us from an authentic source : A short time ago Mr. Silas Register was out hunting, when he saw a squirrel sitting on a tree near a hollow, so very still that it might have been asleep, while a second squirrel was running round it in a cir cle like mad. Mr. Register raised his gun and fired at the squirrel which was sitting still, and walked up to the tree to se cure his game, when he found an enormous rattlesnake with the dead animal in its mouth. When his majesty spied the sportsman, he dropped the squirrel. Mr. Register there upon stepped aside to see what would happen, when the snake again seized it. Mr. Register then fired at the reptile and killed it. It was over five feet long and had eleven rattles. The most remarkable part of the whole story is that, when the snake was cut open, a second squirrel was found inside of it! Next! Bis Dat Qui Cito Dat. Some of our subscribers have had their accounts standing open for a long time. Owing to the short crops during past sea sons, we have made it a rule not to expect too much. There is no longer any excuse for de ferring payment, however, and we trust that all who are in debted to us will come forward promptly. On the principle that $1 cash is equal to $2 credit, we have reduced the sub scription price of the paper to very little more than the actual cost of bringing it out.

There are 18 Bap tist churches in “the Baby County.” —The “gallinippers” are get ting no better fast. Their at tacks on cotton pickers are so vicious that the fields are de serted long before sunset. South westerly winds have prevailed for two weeks, and some of the boys think that the fact that these old weather-beaten fel lows have a much worn piece of sand paper strapped around their sixth leg is conclusive evi dence that they have been oper ating on tough victims, and are strangers in this section of county. Besides, a gentleman living near the depot, who form erly resided on the western side of Lynches River, recognizes the sand paper leggins as the correct “trade-mark” used by all thoroughbred “gallinippers” raised in Mott Township. As regards their presence among us, he is of the opinion that they were driven over by recent heavy gales. Perhaps he is cor rect in his conjectures. Not be ing an ex person “gallippology,” we cheerfully acquiesce in his opinion, feeling confident that the gentleman is undoubted au thority on the subject.

W. A. Wright has just closed a revival meeting at New Chapel. He preached some thoroughly practical and elo quent sermons. We cannot give an accurate number of converts, but think we can safely say that the church has been benefited both financially and spiritually. The fourth quarterly conference was held on the 10th inst. Rev. John O. Willson, Presiding Elder, was with us on that day, and delivered a grand discourse on “Steadfastness.” We then lad a recess of one hour to par take of refreshments, after which the congregation again repaired to the church to hold conference.

W. King, situated some five miles south of here, awoke to find his barns, stable and cotton house all enveloped in flames, which had made such progress that the most heroic efforts of his family and neigh bors proved unavailing to sub due them. Realizing this they quickly turned their united ef forts to the dwelling near by, from which the intense heat was freely extracting the pitch, and with difficulty succeeded in pre serving it from the all-devour ing element. We have just re turned from the scene of the conflagration, and sum the loss es as follows : Two mules, two bales seed cotton, seed from 9 bales cotton, 40 bushels peas, 10 stacks fodder, one wagon, tools, farming implements and gear ing, aggregating in value about $500. The family strongly sus pect the fire as being of incen diary origin. Mr. King’s loss in buildings is about $200; no insurance. This makes, wc are informed, the fifth loss of the kind he has sustained and should it seems to us, make him hence forth a strong advocate of fire insurance.

For several weeks past con siderable improvements have been in progress at the Baptist Church, and now they arc rap idly nearing completion.
