Unsuccessful Attempts to Wreck
Trains on the C. S. & N. Railroad,
The Sumter correspondent of
the Newti and Courier writes on
the 6 inst:
“Twice within the last week
attempts have been made to
wreck trains on the Charleston,
Sumter and Northern Railroad
bet ween Vance’s and Eutawville
b / piling crossties on the track
The last time the train ran into
the crossties and narrowly es
caped being wrecked, but it was
not thrown from the track. Two
negroes have been arrested
charged with the crime, and
some information has been ob
tained from them. There was
a gang of the wreckers and
sufficient information is expec
ted to be obtained from the
arrested to capture the whole
gang. The crossties were piled
by some one who knew yvhat he
was doing. The supposed mo
tive was to rob the large crowd
of Gala Week visitors.”

A Letter From Secretary Holloway on
the Interesting Subject.
To the Public:
The occasion of our fair is
lookeil forward to with pleasing
anticipations, where friends
from the various parts of the
State meet to renew past and
pleasant associations, where
new acquaintances are formed
and where one sees the improv

of the husbandman.
To the several railroads which
give to visitors very
low rates of passage and to ex
hibitors virtually free transpor
la' ion for all exhibits, our uni
ted thanks are due. and in this
connection, 1 desire to express
the thanks of the Society to the
press for the great interest
shown in the exhibitions by re
peated notices.
The Society having been de
prived of the usual appropria
tion by the Legislature, I de
sire to ask the cordial co-opera-
tion of the friends of progress
on account of the great advau
tages of the fair to all class* s of
our Commonwealth When
you come to the fair, I will be
pleased to meet you personally.
Yours very truly,
Thos. W. Holloway,
Secretary.

TRAIN WRECKERS.
Rev. J. A. Brunson, a former
Darlingtonian who has for three
years been a missionary of the
Baptist Church in Japan, has
returned to this country. He ar
rived in San Francisco on Octo
ber!. He is now visiting his
brother, Mr. W. B. Brunson, of
this place, and will remain
about two weeks, visiting rela
tives in the town and county.
He will not resume his mission
ary work in Japan, but has ac
cepted the pastorate of the Bap
tist Church at Choraw and will
take charge al>out the first of
next year. Mr. Brunson re
ceived calls from several sec
tions of the United States, but
he preferred to begin his new
work in his native State. The
stories that he tells of his life in
Japan are very amusing and in
structive.
Mr. Brunson filled the pulpit
of the Baptist Church on Sun
day evening. „
DEATH OF MR. ROBERT WARR.
An Old Figure, Familiar to Darlington,
has Passed Away.
Mr. Robert Warr, a very old
man who has long heen’a famil
iar figure to tho^people of Dar
lington, died very suddenly at
his home in Mechanicsville on
Thursday. He was about eighty
years old. Prior to the war he
was quite wealthy and even for
i time since that period he was
in easy circumstances. For
son e years pi st, however, he
had been greatly reduced. Be
sides the feebleness that is us
ually attendan* upon old age,
Mr. Warr had for a long time
teen a sufferer from rheuma
tism, which, added greatly to
his troubles. Everybody liked
Mr. Warr and he always had
the kindest sympathy of our
people He leaves two cl il hen.
a son and a daughter. His son
is Mr. Stephen Warr.

A Negro Inflicts a Severe Wound upon
a White Man With a Fence Rail.
On Thursday last Mr. Daniel
Davis and a colored man, nam
ed Mingo Stephens, became in
volved in a difficulty on the old
Garner place in Philadelphia
where Mr. Davis lives. Steph
ens seized a fence rail and dealt
a hard blow upon Mr. Davis’
head. The two men then grap
pled and Mr. Davis took the rail
away from the negro, where
upon the latter ran. The wound
in Mr. Davis’ head was very
severe—it caused a deep gash
about three inches long. After
the fight he rode to town and
first swore out a warrant against
the negro and then sought medi
cal assistance from Dr. Lunney.
The negro has not yet been cap
tured.
DEATH OF A COLORED MINISTER
Rev. Burrell James, s Former Resident
of Darlington, Dies in Pickens.
Rev. Burrell James, a colored
minister and former resident of
Darlington, died at Easley,
Pickens county, where he had
charge of a church, on Friday.
He was pastor of the colored
.Methodist ChurA at this place
from 1883 to 188(1. His remains
were brought to Darlington and
interred in the colored cemetery
on Sunday afternoon A very
large number of friends were
present at the funeral services
and the Masons, of which order
he was a member, also attended
in a body. His wife and four
children survive him. One of
his children is the wife of
Robert Nixon of this place.
THE FIRE'S FURY.
A Large Residence in Doneraile Total
ly Destroyed.
The large two-story residence
on Mr. C. S. McCullough’s farm
in Doneraile, Darlington’s sub-
urnan villa, was totally destroy-
ed by fire, about two o’clock
last Saturday morning. The
house stood directly on the So
ciety Hill road, just across
Swift Creek. It was occupied
by three young men who at
tended to the farm. They suc
ceeded in saving most of the
furniture and their personal ef
fects. The house was valued a'
$2,500 and there was $1,200 in
surance on it. How the fire
originated is unknown.
No Peers Left fora Jury.
They were about to lynch a
horse thief in a western town
when a lawyer from the East,
who happened to be present,
stepped to the front and asked
if he could say a few words be
fore knocking tho barrel from
under the prisoner. Pertnis
sion was granted, on condition
that he would make it short.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “you
should not take the law in your
own hands in this manner.
You ate not fair to yourselves.
Why do you not let this man be
fried by a jury of his peers?”
“Hold on thar, stranger,” in
terrupted.the leader. “You’ve
said enough He can’t be tried
by a jury of his peers, for he’s
the only boss thief left in the
country, and he wont be here
long,” and he kicked the bar
rel and settled the business
the spot.
Th« Suteets of s Marion
Ral ting Com.
' [Marion Star.]
As a demonstration of the ad
vantage of intensive fanning.no
doubt every fanner will be deep
ly interested in the method by
which Mr. A. B. Page, of Nich
ols, succeeded in producing an
average of nearly 117 bushels of
corn, per acre, on t*jn acres of
land. Ten bushels of corn per
acre is a liberal estimate for the
production of the average far
mer of this County. In order
to make 1,000 bushels it requires
100 acres of land and at least
three mules and three plowmen
with the added expense of food
for the stock and wages for the
hands: hut Mr. Page, on the
tenth of the land, with hardly
more manure than wTntld be re
quired to fer ilize 100 acres and
athirdofa rop for a single
mule and ha id, harvested with
in a slight fraction of 1,163
bushels of corn. Mr Page’s
method which he has been kind
enough to furnish the Star, is as
follows :
The land had been under a
high state of cultivation forsev-
eral yea s and was broken deep
with two horse turn plow, Nov.
1891. Feb. 1892 land was broad
casted with 35 bushels of green
cotton seed per acre and again
broken turnplow, then bedded
out in 71 ft rows. In January
1892, 1 made 7 tons compost from
Boykin, Carmer& Co Chemi
cals for Homo Fertilizer which
was applied in water furrows
about the 15th of March, then
reversed with two turnplow fur
rows on compost and planted
immediately, one double row of
corn with corn planter to each
small bed. on compost, 8 inches
apart.
After the corn was up I com
menced cultivation at once with
21 in bull tongue or scooter,
plowing deep and cultivating
as level as possible. I applied
during cultivation 140 lbs cotton
seed meal per acre. I laid corn
by about the last of June with
Stonewall Sweep. In the field
there were 68 double rows of
corn. Nine rows were measur
ed with flour bbl. yielding an
average of Hi bids, to the row,
7701 bbls. to the 10 acres, each
bbl yielding 821 lbs. shelled corn
or 1102 49-40 bushels to 10 acres
SHOESI
HOW TO
NEGROES IN LIBERIA.
that
The Government Report Shows
they are Doing Well.
A report from the minister
resident and consul general to
Liberia, recently received,
speaks very highly of the pros
pects of the negroes who have
recently emigrated thither from
the United States. A liberal
piece of laud is allotted to each
immigrant, end they are cared
for by the coionization society
for six months, by which time
it is expected that they will
have raised enough to be self
supporting. A few of the ne
groes finding that they could
not get rich at once, and were
expected to work for their liv
ing, were disappointed and re
turned to the United States.
The rest are satisfied, and
have turned their attention to
planting cofft e, which, in a few
years, will yi -Id them a fine in
come. One man who went out
a few months ago now has a
good house built and five thou
sand young coffee trees.
FIGHTING ON CYCLES.
The Novel Mode of Duelling Between
Two Spaniards.
Duelling on cycles is reported
to be a new diversion in Spain
Two members of the bicycle
club of Granada recently met in
a knife duel, which is probably
the first duel ever fought ott
wheels. Accompanied by their
sergeants they wheeled out some
distance «n the road to Malaga,
to a secluded spot. There post
ed 700 feet apart, at a sign they
wheeled for each other, each
directing his wheel with the left
hand and brandishing in the
right that terrible knife of Spain,
“navaja.” At the first clash
Perez pierced the left arm of
Moreno, but at the third en
counter Moreno thrust his knife
into Perez’s right breast. In a
few minutes the latterdiedof in
ternal hemorrhage.
What a Widow Is.
It was a Sunday school class,
and the teacher believed in ask
ing questions to see how clearly
the scholars understood their
lessons. The widow of Ham
was the subject, and the teach
er thought she would be quickly
answered when she asked,
“What is a widow ?” There
was a silence until she nooded
to the small boy at her left and
said, “You know what a widow
is, don’t y-y*^ i” for she knew
the boy*B£ v fnother was one.
“Yes’m,” he answered ; “it’s a
lady what takes in washing.”-
