&hr Darlington Drica. HENRY T. THOMPSON,) VEdl WADDY THOMPSON, \ Editor*. fharsdaY, April 1892. IMPORTANT! Every citizen of Darlington County, who ivishes to vote at the approaching election, must register. According to a recent Act of the Legislature every man must secure a new regis tration certificate Registration was begun anew this year and an old certificate is as useless as a Confederate ten dollar bill. Let every manbear this in mind, as the time for registering is fast drawing to a close. WE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS. It will be »een by reference to another column that all the Democratic clubs of Darlingto/i County, except Stokes Bridge, have elected delegates to the County Convention which will meet on the first Monday in May. The County Convention will elect eight delegates to the State Convention which will also meet in May. The State Convention will elect delegates to the National Convention which will meet in Chicago in June. It will be noticed that these Conventions will deal mainly with national affairs, in which State politics will not be concerned. It is with pleasure that we find that in many of the clubs no distinctions were made on account of factional differ ences. This is as it should be. We may have our family differ ences but they should be con fined to local matters. In na tional affairs the Democracy of South Carolina should present an undivided front; Tillmanites and anti-Tillmanites should work shoulder to shoulder, for they have the same object in view, the election of a Demo cratic President. There should beamongSouth- erners, but one candidate for the Presidency, Grover Cleve land. He has stood boldly for the poor man. He has opposed the protective tariff, which en riches the monied man and monopolist and impoverishes the farmer, the system that “makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.” Some people ob ject to him because he is oppos ed to the free coinage of silver, but it must be confessed that he has had the courage to state plainly his views on this sub ject and South Carolinians ad mire a courageous man. In this respect Mr. Cleveland stands in marked contrast to his chief competitor, David B. Hill, who has repeatedly dodged this issue. No man in America, except Mr. Hill himself, knows how that gentleman stands on the silver question. It cannot be said that Mr. Cleveland is in collusion with the monied men of Wall Street. He has stood too boldy against the usurpations of the rich men for such a charge to be laid at his door. He has been too honest in all other things to be dishonest in this. Besides he is supported in his views on the money question by all the ablest financiers of the country, men whose opinions we have always respected and should continue to respect. Mr. Cleveland only asks for sound money and the poor man should want his earn ings in sound dollars. In fact every action of Mr. Cleveland’s public life has been in behalf of the poor man and this is why the rich men of the country de feated him four years ago. We are all Democrats and local differences should not en ter into our national politics. Let us get together and support the honest Democrat for the Presidency. A VICTORY FOR THE STATE. The recent decision of the Su preme Court of the United States in the famous Coosaw case has brought that matter to a most favorable end and the people of South Carolina are to i be congratulated on the result. The victory for the State is com plete and all good citizens, irre spective of political affiliations, are glad that South Carolina has won. We also extend to Governor Tillman the justice' that is due him. While we did not altogether approve of the manner in which he conducted the case, we rejoice with himj that the rights of the State in the matter have been maintain ed. The case could possibly; Jiave been settled on a more] economical plan, but credit is due the Governor for the great end accomplished—the main tenance of the State’s rights. CLEVELAND THE MAN. We mentioned in our last is sue thatCleveland had carried Rhode Island, Minnesota and North Dakota—States represent ing New England and the North west. Since then Massachu setts, another New England State, has elected a Cleveland delegation to the National Con vention. In the Northwest, Cleveland carried the county conventions so far held in Michi gan and Illinois and these States are conceded to him. Indiana is practically solid tor him and the Kansas Democrats have in a majority of the counties in structed theirdelegates for him. Pennsylvania is also Pronounc ed for Cleveland. The South has also been heard from. The recent elections in Alabama ensure a solid Cleve land delegation from that State to the National Convention. In Georgia Cleveland has a majori ty of the delegates that have so far been elected to the State Convention. It looks as if Cleveland’s nomination will be made on the first ballot so great is the demand for him through out the country. Did you say you wanted a Wheeler & Wilson, No 9? Blackwell Bros. GENERAL NEWS. Item* of lnter«*t From All Over The World. The Northwest had a severe bizzard^ast week and some snow fell in severai portions of that section. Edward Pardridge, of Chica go, made five hundred thousand dollars, on Monday, by specula ting in wheat. A vessel was capsized in the harbor of Haniburg, Germany, on Thursday and fifteen of her crew were drowned. A house was destroyed by fire in Fori Madison, Ga., last week and five persons all of one fami- 1}' were burned to death. A school teacher and eight of his pupils were drowned by the capsizing of a boat in a pond near Boston, Mass., on Monday. The skeleton of Cornelius Larkin was found in the gar den at his house near Savannah on Tuesday. The theory is that he had been dead a month and no one knew it. Gen. Charles W. Fields, a major general of the Confeder ate Army died in Washington on Sunday. For some years after the war he served in the army of the Khedive of Egypt. John Boyd, the negro who wrecked a train near Statesville last summer causing the death of twenty persons, and who es caped from the Charlotte jail recently, was recaptured last week near Union S. C. The Democrat.c party in Louis iana lias split all to pieces. Two Democratic tickets will be placed before the people at the geneial election and the feeling between the two factions is very bitter. Indications now point to the election of a Republican ticket. A large reunion of Confeder ate veterans was he d in New Orleans last week. Thousands of old soldiers met once more. The veterans passed a resolution requesting each of the thirteen I States composing the Confedera- ' cy to appropriate $5<X> a year as j a pension for Mrs. Jefferson Da vis. GEORGIA MILLS CONSOLIDATED. (M's Sale. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchange*, And Put in Paragraph*. Two burglars broke open the safe in the store of E. M. Lips comb & Co., at Ninety Six, on Thursday night, and stole |800 therefrom. The Comptroller General can not pay the first installment of the State pensions because sev eral counties have not yet sent in their pension rolls. Township elections were held throughout the State on Satur (lay. While the conservatives made considerable gains in ev- ery section of the State, they did not carry the majority of the I clubs. A citizen of Fairfield County S recently wrote to a minister in : Virginia asking that money be sent to his neighborhood as the 1 people wore starving there. The | matter was investigated and the people in that section indignant ly deny that they are in a starv ing condition. The committee revise the rolls of the How the Cotton Seed-Oil lndu*t>-y i* Faring. [From the New York Time*. J Atlanta, Ga, April 8.—An other step in the lineof consolid ation was taken here to-day when the Supreme Court grant ed a charter to the Georgia Cot ton Oil Company. Eight years ago all the oil mills in the South were put under control of the American Cotton Oil Trust. Fi nally there was opposition, and the Southern Cotton Oil Com pany was organized. The wheel of fortune took another turn, and the American Cotton Oil Company appeared to be under the weather. After the matter had dragged along a while a reorganization was effected. Now appears an other step in the consolidation. For the purpose of economy in the management the one hund red and twenty mills owned by the American Cotton Oil Com pany are being merged into new corporations, all the mills in each State going into one com pany. In this way -the mills in every State but Georgia and South Carolina have been re organized, and now the six cot ton oil mills of Georgia are be ing merged into one corporation [ under the newly-granted char ter of the Georgia Cotton Oil Company. These six mills are the Atlan ta Cotton Seed Oil Mills, the Rome Oil and Fertilizer Com pany, the Augusta Cotton Oil Company, the Macon Oil and Fertilizer Company, the Albany Oil and Fertilizer Company, and the Muscogee Oil Mill Company. These mills represent $700,000 in property. The officers ate: T. R. Cheery, New York, pre sident; M. Frank, Atlanta, vice president; Justus E. Ralph, New York, treasurer; R. T. Munro. New York, secretary; W. J. Montgomery. Atlanta, first as sistant secretary and first assis tant treasurer. In regard to the manufacture of cotton seed, the mill men claim that it is increasing stead ily. Aboutone-thirdof the 400,- 000 tons of cotton seed is now manufatured. The mills are carrying over a great deal of stock because of the decrease in the demand for fertilizers. The! Atlanta mill alone carries $40, 000 worth of product, including 2,000 tons of cotton seed meal, which is half the meal made in the last year.
