The town of Hartsvillo will hold its first municipal election, under the charter granted it at the recent session of the Legis lature, to-day. An intendent and four wardens will be elect ed. Mr. Geo. M. Boyd has gone to New York, where he will re main for a few weeks prepara tory to travelling in the interest of a furniture house. Mr. E G. Orrell has also gone to New York. Mr. James Galloway, an old gentleman,, died at his home near Lydm otj Saturday. He had been for many years a suf ferer from rneumatism. He was the father of Mr. R. C. Galloway of this place. The President of the South Carolina Agricultural and Me chanieal Society has appointed Col. E. R. Mclver a member of the committee on fair grounds and buildings and the committee on entertainment. The Darlington County Pen sion Board will meet in the Court House on Monday next. Last Monday was the day up pointed for the meeting, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the meeting was not held. Rev. Jas. M. McManaway, the new pastor of the Baptist Church, did not arrive last week and consequently did not preach in that church ou Sunday as ex pected. It is probable, however, that he will conduct the services on Sunday next. Mr. W. W. Gardner, late of the firm of Lucas & Gardner, druggists at Hartsville, has ac cepted the position of prescrip tion clerk in Dr. Boyd’s drug store. He takes the place of Mr. W. C. McMillan who is now travelling for a drug house. A call is published in another column for a meeting of the citizens of the school district of the town of Darlington, to be held in the Court House, on Friday the 29 inst.,at 12o’clock, to decide what additional tax, if any, shall be levied for school purposes. Miss Josephine Cameron pre sented “Forget Me Not” at the Op >ra House on Thursday night last and “Camille” on Friday night. She is the best emotion al actress that has ever been to Darlington and she deserved better audiences than she had. Her support unfortunately was very weak. A Scheme That Appears Feasible.— The Poor Man’s Chance to see the Great Exposition. Mr. J. F. Brunson, of Colum bia, will be in Darlington to morrow in the interest of the Columbia Transit Company, of Chicago. The purpose of the company is to furnish transpor tation to the World’s Fair on easy terms. Each person who enters into the company’s scheme is to pay four dollars a month until the sum of sixty- one dollars has been paid in. The plan has taken well in oth er cities ahd it is probable that it will be favorably received in Darlington. It is very likely that the Darlington Guards will enter into it. For the better understanding of the plan we give the form of contract the company offers its patrons, which is as follows : “For and consideration of the sum of four dollars paid by the party of the second part hereto (the receipt whereof is hereby ac knowledged.) The Columbia Transit Company agrees to pro- videduring the World’s Colum- b an Exposition,b< tween M y 1st and November 1st. 1893, to the legal holder of this contract when presented full paid for can cellation, a coupon book provid ing for a membership in ’The Columbia Transit Company Ex cursion Club, which will entitle said member to the following privileges: First-class transpor tation from the city of Darling ton to the City of Chicago and return (the railroad transporta tion being limited to such time as is requisite for one continuous passage in each ease to and from Chicago,) transportation for person and baggage from depot in Chicago to the hotel and re turn, hotel accommodations in the City of Chicago for a period of six days, six admission tick ets to the World's Columbian Exposition and Accident Insur ance covering the time of ab sence from home of the legal holder thereof (not to exceed eleven days) in the Standard Life & Accident Insurance Com pany of Detroit, Michigan, ac cording to their regular form of policy, to the amount of three thousand dollars in case of death and fifteen dollars per week, for 52 weeks, in case of total (Usa bility (women being insured against death only.) Provided that there shall have been de posited by the legal holder here of in the First National Bank at Charleston the sum of sixty one dollars, in amountsnot less than four dollars each calendar mouth, until the whole amount shall have been so deposited. Said Bank shall act as depository for the money so received, and shall have complete control of the same until January 1st, 1893, when and after which date the said moneys shall be remitted to the selected Chicago banks for the credit of the above Com pany. The Columbia Transit Company Excursion Club shall consist only of white persons This contract shall be trans ferable only to such persons as shall be acceptable to the Com pany upon a written assignment on the back hereof by the said party of the second part hereto. At any time between Decem ber 1st, 1892, and January 1st, 1893, the above bank is author ized to redeem this contract, if it is so desired by the legal hold er hereof, at the face value of the contract represented by the payments or deposits made here on, less six dollars, which shall be retained for the benefit of the Company to reimburse them for their expenses in the matter.” --- Best suits ever seen in Dar lington at $3,25, $5,25, $7 and $10,50. Edwards Norment &Co. THE U. S. & N. RAILROAD. Rev. Yam Phou Lee, A. B., Will Lecture on this Interesting Subject To-Mor row Evening Rev. Yam Phou Lee, B. A., will lecture to-morrow evening in the Court House on “Chinese Manners and Customs.” The lecture will be given in the in terest of a good cause and will deserve a large attendance. The Fifth Street M. E. Church, South, of Wilmington N. C., is heavily in debt, though the debt was in curred through no fault of the congregation and it is their earnest wish to liquidate it. It is for this purpose that Mr. Lee will lecture to-morrow evening. Admission will be free and the collections taken will beentirely voluntary. The lecture will be gin at 8 o’clock. It is hoped that a large audience will at tend, for, besides the good cause for which it will be given, the lecture will undoubtedly be very entertaining. Mr. Lee, as his name would indicate, is a native of China. He is thirty years old and was graduated from Yale with high honors in 1887, receiving the de gree of B. A.

It is seldom that death takes away, within a few hours, both husband and wife, but such was the case in Lamar last week. On Wednesday after noon Mrs. A. J. DuBose passed away and scarcely had a few hours flitted by and the morn ing of Friday dawned, when the soul of her husband, Mr. E. H. DuBose, took its peaceful flight to join hers in the realm of the unknown. It was a very aged couple, Mr. DuBose being eighty-four years old and his consort about eighty. For more than sixty years they had been man and wife and even Death, the grim destroyer, did not sep arate them. United in life, they are still united in death. The remains of the deceased were buried in the same grave in Newman Swamp Churchyard on Saturday. Several children survive them, among whom is Rev. J. 8 DuBose, a member of the Legislature from this County. THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. The Annual Election of Officers.—Rev. J. A. Rice "Caned".
