Darlington. Dr. Pearson has
made a very favorable impres

effort; an argumentative dis

His right arm was dislocated

sustained some internal injuries.'
Chapman is about fifteen years

Some Interesting Census Figures.
A census bulletin has been is
sued from the census department
at Washington giving statistics
on the population of South Car
olina according to the United
; States Census taken last year.
The total population of the State
is 1,151,149, an increase of 155,-
572, or 15.113 per cent., over the
population in 1880. The popu
lation of Darlington County
shows an increase of 3,512, or
13.71 percent., over the census
of ten years previous. Florence
County has an increase of popu
lation of 6,409, or 34.52 per cent.,

Mr. A. J. McNair, represent-!
ing the firm of Fulton Bros.,
wholesale tobacco manufactur
ers at Mt. Airy, North Carolina,
the northwestern terminus of
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Yal-;
ley Railroad, visited this sec-!
tion during the present week!
for the purpose of inspecting the
tobacco crop planted here, with
a view to his probably making
an offer for its purchase later in ;
the season. Air. McNair says
that the demand for the weed is
far above the supply, for which;
reason the manufacturers of!
North Carolina and Virginia
have their eyes on this section
of the State where so many have
recently embarked in the ex-!
periment of tobacco culture. |
The soil and climate, too, he
says are admirably adapted to]
its cultivation, so that the qual
ity of the South Carolina article
will make it a prize worth con
tending for by the manufactur
ers of the world. Mr. McNair
is evidently determined to do
all in his power to secure it for
1 his house. He will return here
in about a month’s time, when
he says the crop will be mature:
a condition, by the way, which
; occurs earlier here by two
months than it does in North
Carolina and Virginia. Mr.
McNair predicts that this is to
j become one Of the leading to-
i bacco markets in the world, ami
I says that all we need now to
1 encourage the production of the
staple in this vicinity is a to
bacco warehouse or factory, for
1 the establishment of which the
firm he represents will put up
tlie sum of $10,000. Mr. McNair
visited the farm of Mr. C. S.
McCullough, just across Swift
| Creek, on Monday; he says that
the tobacco there is further ad
vanced than any he has ever
seen on the 14th of June, and
that it will bring as high a price
on the market as the grades
raised at Mt. Airy, at Richmond,
at Danville, or anywhere else in
the country.
