Mr. J. C. Dowling, of the
Philadelphia neighborhood, has
returned from Atlanta, where
he has been taking a course in
book-keeping at Moore’s busi
ness College.
The cash collected at the post-
office from the sale of money
orders and postal notes for the
period included between the 1st
and the 11th of the present
month reached the enormous
sum of $1,000. Think of it!
The country treasurer began
his rounds last week for the
collection of taxes. Mr. Law
rence, the auditor, is accompan
ying him, for the purpose of
making any corrections on the
books which may be necessary
from time to time.
Jt’DOE Sanders was exhibit
ing on Saturday a veritable
freak of nature in the shape of a
full blown magnolia, whiengrew
on a tree in his fro it yard. The
Judge also found several ripe
and perfectly formed sprigs of
aspai Jgus in his vegetable gar
den on the same day.
Mr. John B. Floyd offers his
services as collecting agent to
the people of Darlin^on, There
is a fine opening fevr the display
of Mr, Floyd’s talents here, and
he will doubtless have plenty of
work to do. He will be found
at the law office of W. F. Dar-
gan, Esq., over Blackwell Bros,
store.
Nothing brings speedier
wealth than a good patent. If
you have an idea, write, de
scribing it. to Messrs. C. A.
Snow & Co., Patent Solicitors,
Opp. U. S. Patent Office, Wash
ington, D. C., and they will in
form you free of charge wheth
er it is patentable. Read their
advertisement in this paper.
Our motto is, “He gives twice
who gives ouickly”. In accord
ance with this motto, the price
of The News has been reduced
from $1 to $2 a year, on the
principle that $1 cash is prefer
able to] $2 on time. We trust,
therefore, that our subscribers
will bear this fact in mind, and
that they will pay up for the
paper promptly in advance.
Quick Work.
Judge Dargan is becoming
distinguished for the celerity
with which he despatches the
business of his office. It is said
that he can unite a couple in the
bonds of matrimony in four min
utes by the watch, and to argue
from the quantity of business he
has had of that delicate nature
lately, he is fast becoming the
most popular “connubial knot
tier” in town. There are other
troubles, however, which the
Judge sometimes “gets a fel
low” into with equal celerity
and urbanity. Carolina Rosser,
a small colored boy, was car
ried before him last week under
a charge of stealing apples from
Bellenger’s stand on Pearl
Street, and was sentenced to fif
teen days in jail. The hoy was
on his way to jail within eleven
minutes after the theft was com
mitted.
A Problem for The Farmer*.
Transgressor* of the Law.
Serious complaints are reach
ing us in regard to the manner
in which the small boys, and
thoughtless grown men, too, for
that matter, are killing off the
partridges contrary to law. Last
year the same thing happened,
and as a result the bona fide
sportsmen of this section soon
discovered that their “occupa
tion was gone,” as there were
literally no birds left in the
country. It is feared that a like
condition of things will occur
this year if the present devastat
ing process continues. Let it
be remembered that the birds
are protected by statute
until November 1, and that
those who kill them now are
liable to be fined and imprison
ed. As the birds are entirely
too young to be of any use, those
engaged in such conduct are
not only breaking the law, but
acting unfairly to the sports
men who are endeavoring to
obey it. By all means let the
transgressors be apprehended
and brought to justice.
of
A Last Appeal.
The regular monthly meeting
Division, Uniform
Rogers
Rank, K. of P., will be held to
morrow (Friday)
iday) night, and a
circular headed “A Last Appeal”
has been issued to the meml>ers,
urging tlsem to attend the meet
ing, and take some decisive
ac
tion in regard to continuing the
itu
organization. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that every member of
the Division who is in town
will turn out to the meeting to
morrow night.
A Liberal Proposition.
To the subscriber who pays us
$2.80 cents in cash, we will give
acompiete set of Dickens’ novels,
twelve volumes(pamphlet form),
and will send The Da«*mngton
News, the Weekly News and
Courier and the Southern Culti
vator, each for one year. The
News and the Dickens’ works
will be supplied for $1.50. This
paper, the Cultivator and the
News and Courier will be sent
to any address for $2.30 per an
num, while the News together
with either one of them will be
supplied for $1.65 a year.
Lucus A Non Lucsndo.
Messrs. Benson and Dillon,
representing the Washing elec
tric light company which has
been trying to secure the con
tract for Darlington for some
time past, were here on Friday,
and made a thorough and sys
tematic canvass of the town for
the purpose of securing the
necessary number of subscribers
to the incandescent lights. They
succeeded in getting 350 taken
by our business men, within
fifty of the number required by
the company before they will
begin work, and the prospect of
eventually having the town
lighted by electricity has by no
means departed.
Half a Pound of Iron in His Head
Mr. George W. Bozeman, of
Leavensworth Township, who
was drawn on the jury for the
present term of the Court, came
down on Monday to be excused
from serving on account of sc-
r i q u s permanent disabilities
which he had received in the
war. He brought with him a
mute but eloquent advocate for
his cause in the shape of agrape
shot weighing little less than
half a pound with which he was
wounded in the head at Gettys
burg, while a member of Co. F,
Eighth Regiment, S. C. V.,com
manded by the late Capt. John
K. Mclver. He was left on the
field of battle for dead nearly a
whole day, but was then picked
up, and after an interval of
eight days the ball was taken
from the left side of the head,
(where it had lodged just above
the ear), by Dr Carlisle, of
Edgefield, the Surgeon of the
Seventh Regiment. The wound
healed perfectly, and nothing
but an indentation about half the
size of a man’s fist remains to
show where the terrible gap
once was. Mr. Bozeman was
afterwards transferred to Co. I,
18 th Regiment (Capt. John
Floyd’s company}, and received
a second wound in his ankle at
Fort Steadman. The wound in
his head having rendered him
deaf in his left ear, his request
that he be excused from jury
service was of course prom
complied with by Judge
son.

The average farmer who uses
cotton seed as a fertilizer puts
25 bushels of it on an acre, to-
5 ;ether with 200 pounds of acid,
nstead of using the 25 bushels
of cotton seed in this way, if he
would bring it to the Darlington
Oil Mill, he could get in ex-
changelfor it 250 pounds of meal,
100 pounds of acid and 1,000
pounds of hulls. The farmers
of Darlington County are re
quested to think over this mat
ter, and see if they do not come
to the conclusion that what they
would be receiving in ex
change for the 25 bushels of
cotton seed would make a better
fertilizer than the present plan
One of the largest planters in
the County, who has been ex
changing his seed in this way
for the past five years, says that
he has saved by it at least 331
per cent on the cost of his fertil
izers.
