Thflir Appearance in Florence-The
Trip to Cheraw.
The Darlington amateurs play
ed in Florence on Friday night
last to a very appreciative au
dieuce.* The performance was
followed by all present with the
liveliest interest, and the gener
ous applause of their Florence
friends was very encouraging
to those who participated. Such
a friendly reception as the Flor
entines evidently intended our
amateurs should meet with, is
calculated to increase greatlj
the kindly social relations which
exist between “the Sister Ci
ties.” After the performance
the people of Florence had noth
ing but praise for the character
of the entertainment that had
been afforded them.
By some unaccountable error,
it was made to appear in last
week’s issue of The News that
Friday of this week was the day
when the special train was to
be run from Florence to Cheraw
for the performance that our
amateurs are to give in the lat
ter town. As a matter of fact
the special train will pass here
to day (Thursday, Jan 19,) at 3
o'clock P M., to-night being the
time appointed for the enter
tainment in Cheraw, and all
who contemplate going on the
excursion must bear this in
mind. The schedule of the time
and price of tickets as publish
ed in the last issue of The News
was correct. The special train
will leave Cheraw on the return
tripat 11.30 tonight The $1
charged as the price of tickets
from Darlington includes the

THE PROHIBITION LAW
The Darlington Liquor Dealers Take
the Initiative in Testing It.
The liquor dealers in the State
have determined to make a unit
ed fight in testing the constitu
tionality of the prohibition law.
The Liquor Dealers Protective
Association of Darlington which
was organized recently was the
first association of the kind or
gauized in the State and it was
through this association that
concert of action on the part of
all the liquor dealers of the
State was brought about. A
committee from the association
visited Charleston last week
and induced the liquor dealers
of that city to organize a simi
lar association. Every town in
South Carolina is to have an or
ganization of a like character.
A State convention of these
associations has been called to
meet in Charleston on Tuesday
next, the 24 inst., to adopt a
plan of action. Delegates from
every city and tow n will at
tend the convention. The dele
gates from the association at
this place will probably be^Mej

Much ha* been said about electricity
as a factor for destructiveness in the va
rious gyrating, storm clouds known as
cyclones, drechoes and tornadoes. In
all of this voluminous mass of so called
scientific opinions and deductions one
fact seems to have been entirely over
looked—vi*., the almost resistless force
of wind when moving with high ve
locity. When the velocity is bnt fifty
miles an hour the pressure of air in mo
tion is equal to twelve pounds to the
square foot, and when this velocity rises
to 100 miles per honrits force risee to
the equivalent of 49.3 pounds to the
square foot, the augmentation of force
being always proportional to the square
of the velocity.
It needs no further elaboration or am-
! plification of this statement to convey
1 to the intelligent reader an idea of the
monstrous mechanical force which sneb
! a rapid traveling mass of air must have
—a power great enough to tear down
any structure that has yet been bnilt by
