THE OFFICER ASSAULTED.
—
More About the Outrageous Attack
Upon Mr. Scarborough.
[Sumter Watchman, Meh. 8.]
Mr. E. B. Scarborough, a dep
uty Sheriff from Darlington,
came to Elliotts on last Friday
for the purpose of arresting Jim
Wilson, a negro charged with
assault and battery. He made
the arrest, but a crowd of ne
groes collected and rescued Wil
son, and roughly handled Mr.
Scarborough He shot a negro
woman named Cenie Wilson
during the scrimmage inflicting
a slight scalp wound A posse
was collected as soon as possible
and Wilson re-arrested, togeth
er with Calvin Wells, Frank
Bennett, Cato Wilson, Joe Wil
son and Cenie Wilson, who
took part in the rescue.
Mr. Scarborough carried them
before Trial Justice Goodman
at Lynchburg, and had them
committed on the charge of in
terfering with an officer in the
discharge of duty and aggrava
ted assault. Cenie Wilson en
tered a counter indictment
against Mr. Scarborough for
assault and battery with intent
to kill. Trial Justice Goodman
dismissed the charge against
Mr. Scarborough and committed
the negroes. Jim Wilson, the
original cause of trouble was
carried to Darlington to answer
for his crimes done there. '
[Mr. E. B. Scarborough in a nephew
of Sheriff Scarborough and was act
in(? as a special constable, not as dep
uty Sheriff. Fortunately lie was not
hurt much and is now all ritrht.
A Mr. Rogers who was assisting
Mr. Scarborough in making the ar
rest was also injured, but not severe
ly, by the mob. Jim Wilson was
wanted by the authorities for draw
ing a pistol on Mr Stephen Lane In
December last. After his arrest Trial
Justice Morris sentenced him to thir
ty days in the Darlington county jail
and he is now serving his sentence—

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Well Known Colored Man Eats Pois-
soned Meat b/ Mistake.
On Saturday afternoon last,
George'Hamilton a well known
and worthy colored citizen of
the town, came near meeting
with a horrible death by a mis
take. He made a meal on
strychnine. He had been work
ing at a residence in town and,
on eating his dinner, he by the
mistake of another servant got
hold of a piece of meat which
was covered with strychniuefor
the purpose of poisoning cats
This poisoned meat Hamiiton
ate and was immediately taken
very ill.
He was carried to Mr. J. O.
i Muldrow’s drugstore and by the
I time he reached there his body
was drawn up in a knot. Sev
eral physicians were called in,
but it was several hours before
the poison coulu be removed
from the stomach and in the
meantime he was equally bal
anced between life ami death.
Emetics being of little avail,
the poisonous matter was final
ly removed by m ans of a stom
ach pump and immediately the
unfortunate man began to re
cover and is now all right again

A Combination of Festivities to be Ar
ranged for April 7.
April 7 is the day set for the
annual inspection of the Dar
lington Guards and the com
pany proposes to make it a
bright day in its history by ad
ding to the usual routine of the
inspection a novel celebration.
If the work upon the large brick
building on Main Street, which
is now in course of construction
and which the Guards will in
part own, is sufficiently advan
ced, the company will have the
corner stone laid on that day.
Arrangements will be made to
make the celebration attractive
and St. David’s Lodge, A. F. M.,
will be invited to lay the stone
with Masonic ceremonies. The
festivities of the occasion will
conclude that night with a re
ception in the Armory.
The Guards are now in a most
prosperous condition. The ac
tive roll has reached forty, the
constitutional limit, and new
names may be »dded to it only
to fill vacancies which may
hereafter occur. At a recent
meeting of the company the fol
lowing promotions were made :
P. J. Boatwright, Sergeant;
Harry Smith and Eugene
Vaughan, Corporals.

THE DOINGS OF DEATH.
A Worthy Citizen of Florence Suc
cumbs to the Remorseless Reaper.
The friends uf Mr. J. B. Kil-
lough in Darlington were pain
ed to learn of the death of that
gentleman, which occurred at
his home in Florence on Fir
day. Mr. Killough was well
known and very popular
throughout Darlington county
and the Pee Dee section. As
the head of the Killough Music
Company, he was thrown in
intimate business relations with
numbers of people in this sec
tion and all had the highest re
spect for him. He was a Penn
sylvanian by birth, but had liv
ed so very man} years in Flor
ence that he hai. become identi
tied with this country. Mr.Kil
lough was abou fifty years of
age and his wifi and two child
ren, a daughter ind a son, sur
vivo him. His remains were
interred in Flon nceon Sunday

AN UNPOPULAR SCHEDULE.
People Along the C. & D. Railroad Pe
tition for a Change.
[Cheraw Reporter.]
A petition has been circulated
in these parts asking the Atlan
tic Coast Line authorities to give
the patrons of the Cheraw and
Darlington and Cheraw and
Salisbury roads some relief from
the outrageous schedule which
has been in force for some time.
We sincerely hope the Coast
Line will answer the petition
because our people are most ser
iously inconvenienced in receiv
ing their mail, traveling and
otherwise by the present ar
rangement.

What an Editor Reads.
A novelist and editor whose
name is a household word in
America and Europe, recently
remarked, as a friend found him
amid a pile of newspapers, “The
only periodical 1 read through is
I The Youth's Companion—and I
read that through every week '
“For your children, I suppose
said his visitor. “No, for my
self,” was the reply. “It is a
wonderful paper.”
The announesments of The
Youth's Companion for 1893
make this stor} easily credible
Seldom if ever has it presented
so varied a programme of arti
cles and stories, or so striking a
list of eminent contributors. It

school trustees duplicates of the
poll lists for their respective
townships. These lists are
made up of the names of those
who have made returns for poll
taxes and are sent to the trus
tees for them to add the names
of those in their townships who
failed to make returns. The
law prescribes this course ip
the hope of preventing tax dod
ging. It is very important, in
order for the Auditor to fix his
books, that the school trustees
return to that officer as soon as p
possible the lists with the addi- b
What a Citizen of Brevard, N. C.. Say*
of his trip to Darlington.
FA,tor Darlington News: , 4tt0 g and 0onn8elorB at law
It has recently been my pnvi- ^ ,
lege to combine business and tJnm® in brick building south of
pleasure in i trip that carried the Bank of Darlington,
me from the “Land of the Sky” j DAKLINGTON C. H., & C.
to where the restless ocean never PK() .. PT PEMnN . T . TT( . NTm „ Tft
ceases it murmer. Did time and PK0MPT personal attention to
the scope of a brief newspaper
article permit, I would be glad
to tell you of the beautiful 8 . w . daroan.
French Broad Valley, of which
it may truly be said ;
"The Wandering Mariner, whose eye
eiplores,
The wealthiest isles, the most enchan -
ing shores,
Views not a realm more beautiful and
fair,
Nor breathes the fragrance of a purer
air.”
I could write of the magnifi
cent mountain scenery that en
circles this lovely valley; peaks,
the home of the live lightniag,
‘Where Hogback answers through
her misty shroud:
Back to the joyous 1’isgah who calls
to her aloud;
Of the galloping streams, the
pure water, the invigorating
air, the varied and indescribable
scenery. I would be glad to
tell you all this, but of these
things this practical age cares
but little, so I will come to some
more practical matters.
In this journey from the
mountains to the seaboard, I
have been seriously impressed
with some thoughts.
First, that this Southland of
ours is a great country ;
Second, that South Carolina
is one of the greatest States of
this great Southland, by reason
of the intense energy and in
domitable vim of her, men wo
men a id children as evidence 1
by the wonderful development'
of her varied resources.
Third, that Darlington coun
ty, a county that a few short
years ago was considered the Rip
Van Winkle of the State, is
now one of the most attractive
and inviting of all the counties
of South Carolina
Your town is the pulse of the
county. The most casual ob
server must he impressed with
the spirit of advancement so
rife there.
In the county intelligent prep
aration and cultivation is ap-
pararent everywhere in better
methods, better stock, better
implements and more varied
enterprises. I could refer jou
to numerous instances in the
county, but will only call atten
tion to two farms as samples of
what may be found all over this
historic old Darlington, and
both of which are in an hour’s
drive of your busy city. The
farm of Mr. W. E. Dargan, with
its comfortable home, its busi
ness like appurtenances, and
its broad canvass covered plant
beds, will tell you that cotton is
not the only king, but that to
bacco is properly invading the
domain of the fleecy staple.
The farm of your enterprising
merchants, Messrs Marco and
Lewenthal, is another evidence
of your industrial development.
Mr. L. C. Morris, a real farmer,
has charge of this place. There
everything moves like machin
ery and nothing is half done.
The most minute details areas
carefully looked after as the
preparation of its four hundred
acres under cultivation. On the
land will be found not only a
well conducted farm, but a sta
ble of throughbred colts, the
best stock of cattle and abund
ant provision to feed them all
and the food, not imported,
but raised on the farm.
These two are but samples of
many such farms to be found in
Darlington county. Then,
young man, why go west ? The
home of your fathers offers you
more inviting fields.
