Schmid has been appointed assistant postmaster at this place and is now dis charging the duties of that office. A Democrat receiving such an appointment on the eve of the close of a Republican ad ministration has naturally caus ed comment, the more especial ly sc because the same thing has been done at other postoffices in this State. The report comes from Washington, through the iVew’s and Courier, that there is a scheme among the Republi can postmasters in the State, who expect their official heads to be cut off in March, to fore stall this contingency by resign ing before March and having Harrison appoint as their suc cessors the Democratic assistant postmasters Cleveland will then, on his accession to the Presidency.find tbeofficesfilled, not by partisan Republicans, but by Democrats. He will thus be handicapped and the Democratic postmasters will be able to hold their offices until their terms expire. Knowing about this scheme the people wonder if this be the reason that Mr. Schmid is in the postoffice. Gatlin’s term as postmaster at Darlington does not expire for two years. A citizen of the town, has inform ed us that Mr. Schmid told him that Gatlin would resign in his (Schmid’s) favor next month (February). Mr. Schmid, how- ever, denied this when ap proached upon the subject, though he admitted that there is a possibility of Gatlin resign' ing. Never have pictures been made in this section before at so low a price as is charged at Winbum’s gallery, opposite the Racket store, and the quality of the work is the best. "THE HOME GUARD." iiiii: a\ii iniBBm. A NUMBER OF OUTRAGES AT MAR AND VICINITY. LA- The People in Tha Section Much Stir red up by these Outrages—Eight Persons Arrested. The people along the line of the C. S & N. Railroad, below Darlington, are having a hard timo with burglaries and fires. These outrages are following so •luickly one upon another—and in some cases simultaneously— in the same section of country makes it a matter beyond any doubt than an organized gang is doing the work. The first outrages were committed on Thursday night—one at Lamar and the other at Elliott's, the first station beyond Lamar and across Lynche’s River in Sum ter county. The depot at Lam ar was burned to the ground. It is supposed that the building was first robbed and then set on fire. The following account of the fire was furnished The News by its Lamar correspondent: About twelve o’clock on Thursday night last the depot at Lamar was found FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. after he fired the second shot. As he disappeared in the dark, about ten shots were fired at him, bui it is not known wheth er he was hit or not. He has not been recaptured.

The colored band was out I serenading last Saturday even ing. Mr. Gray had no insurance on the property and his loss is very heavy. The people at Lamar and vi cinity became thoroughly wrought up by the occurrence of these They were satisfied that the evil work w&s being done by a gang and they, therefore, had warrants issued against quite a number of persons suspected of being the perpetrators of the outrages. No man’s property was safe as long as this gang was allowed to exist, so Sheriff Scarborough went to the scene on Monday evening. He was accompanied by his deputies, Messrs H. Y. Scarborough and E. H. Carter. Assisted by a party of citi zens from the Lamar section, Mr. J. S. White went toChar- leston on business on Thursday, returning Friday night. Mr. Robert King and Miss Sue continual Woght were married on the 5 outrages '‘ist , Bev. J. A. White officiat ing. The Baptist parsonage has been completed and Rev.

A re ward in money equivalent to the value of the watch is offer ed for the recovery of the lost property. A very large congregation at tended the final services of the Week of Prayer in the Baptist Church on Sunday evening last. Rev. J E. Carlisle conducted the services. The sale of the large tract of land, which was advertised in The News to take place last Monday, has been postponed un til next Monday, as will be seen by reference to the advertise ment which appears in this is sue. Miss Mamie Wasm, of Ridge Springs, Edgefield coun ty, who has been elected a teach er in the public schools in place of Miss Royal, who resigned, has arrived in Darlington and has entered upon the discharge of her duties. The “Clcmenceau Case” was presented in the Darlington opera house on Tuesday night. The acting was uncommonly good and no better troupe has ever visited Darlington. Quite a large audience was present to enjoy the play. An employee of the C. S. & N. Railroad, a white man whose name wc could not ascertain, received severe injuries at the depot in Darlington a few days since by being mashed between cars. The injured man was carried to rfumter. The electoral college of South Carolina met in Columbia on Monday and cast its vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. Edi tor T. Larry Gantt, of the Col umbia Register, was elected messenger to carry the vote to Washington. His opponent for the position was Mr. J. M. Wad- dill, of Darlington. The vote stood, Gantt 4 ; Waddill 2. The closing services of the Week of Prayer were held in the Baptist Church on Sunday evening last, Rev. J. E. Carlisle preaching on the subject of the ‘‘Outpouring of the Spirit,’’ Revs. J. G. Law and John Stout also speaking, for a few minutes each, on the same subject. A very large congregation was present. The voluntary, “O for the Wings of a Dove”, solo and chorus, was sung with much feeling and expression by the choir. During the summer, the con gregation of the A. M. E. Church will pull down their building near the C. & D. depot and build a larger church on the same lot. This change is necessary on ac count of their rapidly increasing inembership. Rev. E. W. Dix, is in charge. His home is in Raleigh N. C., where he was educated. He comes to this 'lace from Summerville S. C. The congregation are now rais ing money, and hope to begin building in August. 1 he Darlington Guards Dramatic Troupe to Appear at Cheraw.

The Liquor Dealers of Darlington Per fect an Organization. The liquor dealers of Darling ton organized an association on Friday night last, giving the new organization the name, “The Liquor Dealers Protective Association.” The following officers were elected: President, C. Alexander; Vice President, P. B. Allen; Secretary and Treas urer, S. Kalmus; Executive Committee, E. R. James, 8. Lewenthal, P. C. Beck. The objects of the association have not yet been made public, but we presume that the chief reason for the existence of the organization is to have concert of action on the part of the li quor dealers in view of the pas sage of the prohibition bill and the expression in the public prints of so much hostility to the liquor interests. frames ; E.

His office will be in the rear of the store. silver watches and of clothes. On the following night, Fri-| day, Mr. A. R. Garner’s barn j at Syracuse was burned to the j ground. His loss was about $400 and he had $200 insurance. I Mr Garner is the dept t agent at Syracuse. He left the depot that night to see about his burn ing barn and during 1 is absence the depot was broken into. He returned to the depot how ever, before the robber finished his work and upon his approach the robber fled. He succeeded, nevertheless, in carrying off about $50 worth of proper.y. It is believed, and the circum Stances certainly point in that direction, that the robber set fire to Mi. Garner’s barn so that be could rob the depot while Mr. Garner’s was absent looking af. ter his burning property. Suspicion pointed to a negro, named Will Thomas, as the party who had burned Mr. Gar ner’s barn and robbed the Syra cuse depot. A warrant was ac cordingly issued for his arrest. On Sunday night Thomas was captured by a party of citizens of Lamar in another negro’s house at tha; place. He sub mitted to arrest so quietly that his captors were thrown off their guard While they were not expecting it, Thomas drew a company pistol and fired twice at Mr Starr, the depot agenl at Lamar, one ball piercing Mr. Starr’s hat. Thomas fled immediately the line ot Darlington arrives here at 6.25 in the after noon. The outgoing mail for Wades boro and for all points on the C. & D. above Darlington leaves Darlingfon at 7.30 o’clock in the morning.; The outgoing mail which passes through Florence leaves Darlington at 6.25 in the afternoon. The Hartsville mail leaves at 9.30 in the night and arivesat 5.50 in the morning. It will be well for our readers to bear these changes in mind. Our Amateurs in Florence.

Stokes met with quite a serious and painful ac cident last week. She was mak ing soap and by some means got some lye into her eyes and it is feared that she has lost the sight of one, while the other is very much injured. Moving seems to be all the go. Mr. R. W. Jordan and family have moved to Early’s I ross roads. Mr. J. B. Gray has mov ed away and Mr. S. P. Hill lives at his place. Mr. C. L. Odom has purchased the place where Allen Thomson has been living and has moved in. Mr. I. F. Redicu has moved to his old home. We are sorry to lose those who have moved away, but wish them much success in their new homes. ASHLAND The holidays are over and we are preparing for the crops of 1893. During the moving season not very many changes were made in this section. During the recent cold spell our fanners have killed a great many fine hogs. Horse drovers are not fre quenting these parts as often as Heretofore. Several are expect ed during the present month. Mr. P. S. Grant, of lower Chesterfield, recently killed a hog weighing 432 pounds. Mr. Grant is one of Chesterfield’s most progressive farmers. Mr. Jas. N. Moore has pur chased the “Shiriey Place” from his father, Mr. Wesley Moore. He has spent considerable money in fixing up the place and it presents a much improved appearance. TRIBUTE oT RESPECT.
