Last week an address was published in the daily papers nominating Third party Presi dential electors and calling on the people of South Carol .na to support Weaver and Fields. Among the names given as signing the address are four from this county, W. P. Wood- ham, J. Wilson Warr, R. K. Charles and W. A. Dowling. Mr. W. A. Dowling is, and al ways has been,a staunch Demo crat. He did not authorize the use of his name in connection with the Third party address and he naturally feels indig nant at the injustice done him. We gladly publish the follow ing communication from him : Editor Darlington News: I see in the Columbia Regis ter, of the 20 inst., an address emanating from Mr. J.W. Bow den and calling on the people of South Carolina to support the Third party. The address is purported to be signed by many voters. In the list appears my name. This was done without my knowledge or consent. I cannot conceive how my name could have appeared in that list as I have never even advocated Third party ism in South Caroli na. As a farmer and a Demo crat I see in the result of the re cent elections in Georgia and Alabama evidence sufficient to convince any reasonable mind that Third partyism can but work ruin to white supremacy in the South. I propose to stand by the Democratic party and advocate within the party the selection of men who represent my princi ples, but I will support the nomi nees even should they be not my individual choice. I con aider a Third party ticket an unfortunate move just now, at least, in South Carolina. W. A. Dowling. Philadelphia, S. C., Oct 24. Fresh mountain beef, 25 cts lb. Blackwell Bros.

STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges, And Put in Paragraphs. The next meeting of the South Carolina Synod is to be held at Clinton, S. C., on October 31, 1893. Last Friday, “Columbian Day”, was generally observed by the schools throughout the State. Homer Brice, a young white boy, of Fairfield county, had his arm so badly lacerated by a gin last week that it had to be amputated. The residence of Mr. Edwin D. Reames at Bishopville was burned on Friday night. The fire is thought to have been the work of an incendiary. Dr. J. F. Ensor, white, has accepted the Republican nomi nation for Congress in the Fourth district. G. W Shell is the Democratic nominee. While a negro minister named Gantt, was recently preaching in a church in Colleton county, someone shot him from the out side, seriously wounding him.

Dur ing their absence the house was destroyed by fire and the four children were burned to death.

Everything is quiet, as Till man for reform aud Cleveland for low tariff is good enough | for us around here and very few, we think, will take Weaver in theirs. The drought has opened the cotton crop, which has been picked, ginned and nearly all sold. While tho crop has been made at less cost than usual, a great many of our farmers will be left in debt. The corn crop, which will come in heavier than usual, is now being gathered. The put ting in of the oat crop is also being looked after. A good many will sow wheat on a limi ted scale. Our tobacco men are much pleased with their experience of the past season and will continue the cultiva tion of the weed, perhaps on a larger scale. Mr. Jesse Wadford, the oldest man in the neighborhood, the frosts of eighty winters having fallen on his locks, has been very ill for two or three weeks. Mr. Wadford s illness came upon him when he was in very desti tute circumstances, but as soon as the good people of the com munity learned the condition of affairs they repaired at once to his home with the comforts and necessaries of this life for the '•efreshing of the inner and the warming of the outer man. We are glad that we can report that at this writing; Mr. Wadford has somewhat improved, but is yet in a very precarious condi tion. Preserve ginger, W. & H. NEW PROVIDECE.

Some of our farmers have found reason to* patronise the Darlingtop cotton market, Your correspondent visited the upper part of Chesterfield recently and found that though the crops are short the farmers there are not in as bad circum stances as in this county.
