THEY DREW DUMB WATCHES.
A Fakir Practices a Fraud Unon the
People and Then Skips the Town.
On Saturday afternoon a
white man, a stranger in the
town, took a prominent stand
on the Square and opened a
lottery. With a slick tongue
and glittering promises he ex
horted the people to take chan
ces, saying that he would give
out several watches in the draw
ing and to those who were not
so fortunate as togetthe watch
es he would give presents. One
dollar was the price of achance.
A number of people dropped
their dollars into the hat and
then the drawing took place.
The watches drawn were little
dumb watches made for chil
dren’s toys and all who did not
receive a dumb watch received
a brass pen as a present. It was
the most diabolical fraud that
has been perpetrated in this j
town in a long time. When
the authorities heard about it,
they sent the police to arrest
the fakir. They repaired to his
boarding house on Saturday
evening, but he saw them ap
proaching and immediately took '
“leg bail” to parts unknown.

in Compliment to Darlington.
On May 21, 1891, the Darling

the opera house at this place in
^compliment to the Sumter Co-
Itillion Club. This was soon
after the C., S. & N. Railroad

the two towns. It was a most
elaborate affair and our young
people and their guests enjoyed
an evening long to be remem
bered. The society people of
Sumter propose to return the
compliment and will give the

One Negro Hacks Up Another—Both
Well Known Characters.
On Monday afternoon Jack
Jordan and Allen Thomson,
both colored, became involved
in a row’ in front of the Court
House. Thomson cut Jordan
many times about the head and
face, inflicting serious and very
painful wounds. The injured
man bled most profusely. He
was taken to Dr Willcox, who
gave him all the necessary medi
cal attention, and later in the
afternoon he was able to return
to his home near Jeffries Creek.
Thomson is now in jail. Both
of the belligerents are well

was the result of a bitter fued

Cleveland President for Four More
Years—A Great Victory for the
Democratic Party.
Grover Cleveland, of New
York, will be the next President |
of the United States and Adlai i
E. Stevenson, of Illinois, the|
Vice President. The qlgction
on Tuesday settled this, it w r as
a tidal w’ave for Democracy and!
the interesting question now is,
what will the majority be?
Tuesday night bulletins about
the election were received in
Darlington and the last telegram
at 4 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing ensured the election of
Cleveland. This telegram gave
the following States to Cleve
land: The Solid South (with the
exception of West Virginia
which is in doubt), New York,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Illi
nois and 4 votes from Michigan.
This makes a total of 233 elec
toral votes for Cleveland, or it)
more than is necessary to elect
him.
It is very probable that the
Democrats have carried Indiana
and West Virginia, which will
increase the electoral vote of.
the party to 254, and California
is claimed for Democracy which |
will put the vote at 263. ^
The Third party has carriedi
Nevada and claims Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado.
In South Carolina the Democ
racy sweeps everything. The
Republicans did little and the
Third party less. In Darling
ton county all is serene. Harri
son carried two precincts, Soci
ety Hill and Meclianicsville, but
the county goes for Cleveland
by about 1,500 majority Only
a few votes were cast for Wea
ver. The detailed vote of the
county will be given in our next
issue. The Republicans ran a
county ticket. Tillman’s vote
in the State will be about the
same as Cleveland’s.

McCabe & Young to Hold the Boards
This Evening.
McCabe & Young’s Minstrels
will give a performance at the
Darlington opera house this
(Thursday) evening. This com
pany played in Charleston dur
ing Gala Week and this is what
the News and Courier, of the
3 inst., says of its performance :
“At the Academy of Music
last night McCabe & Young’s
Minstrels performed before a
very large house that seemed by
the applause to be carried away
with the songs and comic say
ings of the minstrel men. The
scene begins in a flower garden,
where the artists appear in very
pretty attire. The subsequent
songs and dances were very
good and were received with
much applause. McCabe &
Young's Minstrels, on the whole,
give a more than ordinary musi
cal and unique perforraanc<t”
Following the mlnStrel* the
next attraction at the opera
house will be Wilfred Clarke,
the comedian, on the 19th inst.
For the next sixty days we
will offer special prices on cloth

the indictment.
On Monday the
Cox moved for a new trial on
the alleged ground that the evi
dence was not sufficient to sus
tain the verdict, and because of
certain remarks made by the
Solicitor in the course of his ar
gument. After hearing what
counsel had to say Judge With
erspoon, impressed with the first
ground on which the motion
was based, granted a new trial
to the defendant on the first
and third counts of the indict
ment. As the verdict of the
jury on the second count, i. e.,
selling property on which a lien
existed, still standsagainst him,
the practical benefit according
to the defendant by the decision
of the Judge is that it will
doubtless tend to lessen his sen
tence, which under the statute
is imprisonment “for a term not
less than ten days nor more
than three years,” and a fine of
“not less than ten dollars nor
more than $5,000, or either or
both, in the discretion of the
Court.” It is understood that

request the Judge to make Cox’s
sentence as light as possible.
Judge Witherspoon imposed
the following sentences on Mon
day • Dudley Plato, criminal as
sault, imprisonment in the peni
tentiary for life ; Jonas Kirven,
aggravated assault and battery,
nine months; Rosier Williams,
burglary and larceny (chickens,)
nine month’s imprisonment;

(chickens,) nine month’s impris
onment ; Peter Murdock, bur
glary and larceny, one year’s
imprisonment; William Jones,

dog,) $5 fine or twenty days iu
jail. •
Judge Witherspoon decided
that nndAr the statute he could
continue the criminal court this
week for the purposes of clear
ing the jail, retaining the jury
drawn for last week. As Tues
day was election day however,
the jury was discharged from
Saturday evening until Wed
nesday morning. At the time
that we went to press yester
day (Wednesday,) the Court
was engaged in trying George
Wingate and Lizzie Wingate,

THE STATE DEBT.
The Offer of a Wall Street Firm to Re
fund It.
[The State.]
It is now ascertained on pret
ty reliable authority that he
(Governor Tillman) has received
a bona fide offer from Blair &
Co., leading New York hankers,
doing business at No. 40 Wall
street, to undertake the refund
ment. Blair & Co. are said to
be one of the leading financier
ing firms of New York, and
they make a specialty of hand
ling bonds. They are the men
who refunded the bonds of Ashe
ville, N. C., and other places. It
is said that the firm represents
a capital of $40,000,000.
Their offer is to refund the
State debt at 4* per cent, inter
est, it at present bearing 6 per
cent. And this is the reason
that Governor Tillman and the
State Treasurer can do nothing.
The act says that they fcannot
refund at a rate of interest
greater than 4 per cent., and
they can do nothing else but
refer the offer to the State Legis
lature at its coming session.
This is the reason, then, that
the Governor has rested easily
on his oars, and has said nothing
since his return.
Whether it is advisable for
the State to accept this offer or
not remains for the General As-

ACROSS THE WATER.
Th« Farmer* in Eng and Having Haid
Times Like Ut.
The land question is rapidly
taking on as acute a phase in
England as it has in Ireland.
The tenant farmers in the one
country are as loud in their
complaints of poor crops, low
prices and high rents as they
are in the other. Foreign com
petition has made it as impossi
ble for them to raise cereals for
the market as it is for the New
j England farmer in the face of
the competition of tho great
1 West. The other crops, like
I tobacco, whicli help out our
farmers, are out of the question
in England, and such crops as
1 can be raised arc made expen
sive by the heavy rent the farm
er there must pay. These EngJ
lish farmers are holding meet
ings to consider the best means
of relieving this depression, and
seem to be agreed that, what
ever else happens, rents must
come down. They want Land
Courts like those in Ireland,
and the sliding scale of rents,
depending upon the crop and
prices. They also ask for the
three F’s which played such a
part in the Irish agitation—free
| sale, fair rents and fixity of ten
ure. In the meantime a con
ference ot farmers from all over
the Kingdom is to he held to
consider remedies, and the land
lords are to be asked to defer
their rent audits until March.
