Mr. Hart thought he had killed Mr. Lewis and he immediately came to Darlington to surrender him self to the Sheriff and this gave rise to the report, which became current in the town and county, and which appeared in the daily papers, that Mr. Lewis had been killed.

For Pi ohibition. Justly Indignant. [Tlie Stata Oct 20.] Mr. George W. Earle, in The State today, asks some questions about Railroad Commissioner Thomas which are really inter esting. Mr. Earle is an engin eer of long experience. He was one of the corps engaged in con structing the Charleston and Savannah Railroad before the war, and by this time ought to know how to lay a railroad track. We cannot blame him for resenting the imputation up on his work on the Char'eston, Sumter and Northern. Why uot buy a Reynolds shoe to last you 12 months from Blackwell Bros.

Another Building and Loan. A new building and loa i asso ciation has been established in sion was the first production in this city of ‘Sardon’s’ Felecia. Much has been said of this play iu way of praise, and the audi ence present went with the ex pectation of being highly enter tained, and we can truthfully say not the most fastidious was in the least disappointed. ‘Fele cia’ is of the ‘Fedora’ class of Darlington. It is a branch of dramas, possessing bright and the Columbian Savings and Loan ; sparkling dialogue, strong dra- Company of Memphis, iennes- Ina tj c situations, and thrilling climaxes.

Among the many enterprises inaugurated in our growing community during the past few years, there is none which has given more genuine satisfaction to its patrons than Smith’s Pho tographic Studio. Mr. Smith has been with us long enough now to demonstrate the fact that he is an artist who thor oughly understands his business. His pictures cannot be surpassed in Charleston or Columbia, and his studio is fitted up iu “real city style.” Darlington is for tunate in having in her midst one who fs such an adept in his line, and Mr. Smith deserves the very heartiest support which it is the power of the community to give him. ^ Go to Edwards, Norment & Co’s for your red rust proof seed Oats.

We again call the attention of our subscribers to the fact that, in nine cases out of ten, their terms of subscription expired in May last, and that, in such cases, the $1 for the current year is now due. When the price of the paper was $2 a year, it might have been argued that the publisher “could wait for his pay”, but now that it costs less than two cents a copy (52 issues for a dollar), it may he seen at a glance that there is no money in it unless the subscrip tions are paid promptly, we carefully refrained from press ing anyone in the dull summer months, and must now ask that our indulgence and confidence be rewarded by a prompt com- ( pliance with our rule. ment, C.

These reports, differing so materially from each other, have given rise to much controversy in the newspaper. The latest letter on the subject is the following from Maj. G. W. Earle, which ap peared in Tuesday’s State: Darlington, S. C., Oct. 16,1891. To the Editor of The State: My contract being finished, my connection with the C., S. & N. R. R. terminated on 1st Septem ber last. 1 have been confined to my house with a sprained foot, and so heard nothingabout either the first or second inspec tion of the C , S. & N R. R. un til I read it in your paper of yes terday. I was chief engineer of the C., S. & N. R. R., and am responsible for the manner in which it was located and con structed. I know the work was well done, and that it is n it true “that the grade line was laid on the surface of the ground, when it should have been raised two or three feet”—according to the report of Mr. Railroad Commis sioner Thomas. As a matter of fact, the work, including the profile and grade line, was twice,duringconstruc- tion and at different times, crit ically examined by two distin guished civil engineers, repre senting interested Northern cap italists, and met with their ap proval. The large amount ex pended in grading the roadbed would also show that the above charge was not true. Because of Mr. Thomas’s offi cial position, I cannot let his strictures on this work, done by me, pass unnoticed. May I ask, who is Mr. Thomas? Where did he come from? How long has he borne his present name? When and where did he become expert in civil engineering— where did he get his experience —that he should, in his pre- sumtious manner, declare that this road was improperly built, and that “the grade line above Sumter was laid on the ground, when it should have been raised two or three feet”?—and that, too, without having the profile, without having the level notes Surely no unbiased, intelligent engineer would have ventured such an assertion without first having examined the profile and papers. I have heard that Mr. Thomas claims to have been employed on a railroad in Canada—during his residence there, it is said, while a fugitive from justice- hut he has no reputation or standing as a civil engineer in this State, and it is thought and said by many that his only qual ification or fitness for the office he holds is his Tillmanism. Did he quit that Canadian railway with honor? I might ask, am I, who have for the last forty years been ex ercising my profession in this and adjacent States, locating and constructing railroads, al ways having had the entire con fidence of my employers, never having had my work condemned before, and on one occasion at least was given a bonus of $500 for the faithful and intelligent manner in which a similar work to this was executed, to be slurred at by this railroad official, using his official report to fling at me an unjust reflection, intended to injure my business?

The attendance was good and the exercises very interest ing. The only complaint we hear concerning the meeting was that there were not enough delegates and visitors to tax the hospitality of those who were prepared to entertain them. Be sides the pastors of the Associ ation, there were present Dr. T. M. Bailey, agent for the State Missions, Col. J. A. Hoyt, of Furman University, Rev A. S. J. Thomas, of the Baptist Cour ier and Rev. J. L. Vass, superin tendent of the Baptist Orphan age and others. The presence of these representatives of our various Church enterprises added much to the pleasure and profit of the meeting. It is evident that our orphanage work, now in its infancy, will become very popular. It was a pleasure to all to again greet the beloved and gifted Rev. R. W. Lide, so long our pastor in former days. His sermon on Thursday was excellent. If the visitors found half the pleasure that we did from the meeting, they would be very glad to come again. Go to Edwards, Norment & Co’s for sausage mixture.

The Bulletin has launched out with a good sub scription list. We hope that the generous and patriotic peo ple of Darlington will nourish it in its infancy, support it in its manhood and forget it not in its old age. —With this issue of The News my labors as its regular corres pondent will cease. For about fifteen years I have in my hum ble way given the news in a brief manner from the sections of the county in which I have lived; first as “Radii from the Center,” and then from Lamar, my present home. During this time The News has been under the management of Messrs. Ham mond, and Evans and the pres ent owner. While there has existed a difference of opinion among us in reference to some of the leading political questions, that have rocked our great and grand old commonwealth from center to circumference, yet ev erything has run pleasantly and smoothly with The News staff and this writer, each exercising and expressing his opinions, which is a God given right and the great bulwark of liberty. I lay down the pen for The News to take it up for the Lamar Bulleiin, a babe in journalism born at my door.

Truett (known as Aunt Peggy) and her eldest son, Mr. Wm. Truett, who has lived in Waynesboro, Pennsyl vania, since the close of the war. “Aunt Peggy” is well up in the seventies, but still has reasonably good health. She is the mother of fourteen children, nine of whom are living. Four of her sons served their country in the late war and they made ! brave and faithful soldiers, but alas, for poor Pinck and John, they fell while fighting heroic ally at the front. The reunion was a success in every sense, i There were present at the dinner children, grand and great-grand children, and sons and daugh ters-in-law to the number of seventy-five, besides many friends from the neighborhood!. Rev. John Rollins, of Williams burg, made a very appropriate speech. His wife, who is a sis ter of Mrs. Truett, was present. The sisters had not met in twen ty years. Mrs. Truett says this was one of the brightest days of her life and it was a day of gladness and pleasure to all who were present. Mr. Wm. Truett returns to his Pennsylvania 1 home this week. OBITUARY. Mr. James T. Sumner depart ed this life on September 9,1891, at Wilkesville, North Carolina, where his family now reside. He was thirty-two years of age. Mr. Sumner was born near here, spent his boyhood days in Ches terfield and Darlington Counties and removed to North Carolina six or eight years ago. He leaves his father and mother with several brothers and sis ters to mourn his loss. Mr. Sumner was one of our best young men and had many friends. We loved him for his gentle Christian character. He joined Mt. Olivet Church at the age of 16. His remains were interred at the Spring Hill cem etery on September 10, Rev. Archibald McLinen conducting the services. We may mourn for the one we love, yet we be lieve our loss is his eternal gain. “Lord, teach us from our hearts to Thy pr»y. will be done.” A Friend. (ImiuIx continued on second page.) For Sale.
