C., March 24.—Well may Darlington be called the “Pride of the Pee Dee.” Fora live, progressive, little city, she stands well to the fore. The wheels of enter prise are grinding. The hum of the spinning wheel is accom panied by tlie merry tattoo of the carpenter’s hammer. Hand some stores are being built new streets are being opened, mag nificent residences are being erected and the hand of progress is seen on every side. THREE RAILROADS. While Darlington does not yet boast of being a railroad centre, she is well supplied with those facilities. Three roads pass through the city, the Chor- aw & Darlington, the Charles ton, Sumter & Northern and the Hartsville road. Thus, she is placed within easy communica tion to the large ports and mer cantile centres of the country. BANKING INSTITUTIONS. Darlington is well supplied in banking institutions. The Bank of Darlington is officered as follows; President, Bright Williamson ;Vice President, W. C. Coker ; Cashier, L. E. Wil liamson. It transacts a gener al banking business and also has a savings department con nected with it. The following figures show the strength of the institution : Capital, ijilOO.OOO ; surplus, $50,000 ; undivided pro fits, $4,444.29. The People’s Bank of Darling ton has the following officers ; President, E. Keith Dargan ; Vice President, W. A.Carrigan; Cashier, H. L. Charles. It has a capital of $100,000, with a sur plus and profit of $20,800. It also does a general banking business, and pays interest on deposits. VARIOUS ENTERPRISES. The following enterprises de serve special mention : The Darlington cotton factory de monstrates the feasibility of bringing the mills to the cotton. The output from this factory finds ready sale among the con sumers throughout the country. About 900 operatives are em ployed in the factory. It goes without saying that the pay-roll amounts to a large sum each month, which is a great source of revenue to the city. W. C. Coker is president and treasur er, J. L. Edwards, secretary, and F. T. Biggs is superintend ent. The Darlington Phosphate Company, with a capacity of ten thousand tons annually is coming rapidly to the front. The following popular brands are manufactured by this com pany : Dissolved Bone, Acid Phosphate, Pee Dee Arnmoniat- ed Fertilizer, McCullough’s Favorite Tobacco Fertilizer, and Mclver’s Choice High Grade Ammoniated Fertilizer. The following gentlemen compose its officeres : W. J. Alexander, president and treasurer ; Bright Williamson, secretary; and George C. Walsh, superintend ent. It is impossible in this space to give a detailed statement of the many enterprises of this live city, consequently they can only be mentioned in a general way. The following attract special attention: The Dar lington Ginning, Milling, Fer tilizer and W arehouse Company, Darlington Light and Water Company, Darlington Tobacco Warehouse Company, Darling ton Compress Company, Dar lington Marble Works, Darling ton Planing Mills, Darlington Canning Factory, Darlington Building and Loan Association, and the Knights’ Building Asso ciation. CHURCHES AND PREACHERS. Darlington is not behind her sister cities in religious matters. Her clergy rank among the first in the State. The Rev. John Stout is pastor of the Baptist Church ; the Rev. J. E. Carlisle is pastor of the Methodist Church; the Rev. J. G. Law is pastor of the Presbyterian Church ; and the Rev. W. A. Guerrv, assisted by th“ Rev. Ed ward- McCrady, is rector of the Episcopal Church. THE DARLINGTON CLUB. The Darlington Club is a so cial organization of which any city might well be proud. Its with the latest papers and maga-! ! zines of the day. NEWSPAPERS AND SCHOOLS The picture of no city is com- j plete without its schools and newspapers. The graded schools; are now in a flourishing eondi-T tion, having a large number of children in attendance. The] “quill fraternity” is represented here by Editors Thompson, of the News, McCreight, of the Herald, and Brown, of the He- \ form Sentinel. FINE HOTELS. The “Knights of the Grip” cannot be allowed to roam at large when they strike a town, | consequently buildings must be erected to put them in ; whereby 1 hotels were invented, of which Darlington has two good ones— the Enterprise and the Cleve land. Mr. R. A. Smith is pro- prietorof the Enterprise. He treats “the boys” handsomely. A GOOD MILITARY COMPANY. The Darlington Guards, of which Mr. H. T. Thompson is captain, deserves such special mention and commendation that more will be said of it hereaf ter. This is but a ro igh sketch of the city of Darlington. It has many advantaget-. both natural and artificial, am’ has a very bright future before it. Her business m n are broad minded, liberal and throughly up with the tim ‘s. They are the kind that know no rest, but will “make the goal of to-day be the starting point of to mor- row. THE ARTIFICIAL LIMB FUND. The Clerk of the Court Receives the Blanks—A Self Explanatory Letter. Clerk of the Court W. Albert Parrott has received the blanks which applicants for the artifi cial limb fund must sign be fore him The following letter to the Clerk, which accompan ied the blanks, is self explana tory : “Dear Sir : There has been sent to you from the office of the Comptroller General blank warrant receipts, including a blank affidavit for the signature and affirmation of the Confeder ate soldiers of your county, who may have lost a leg or an arm or an eye, or have been perma nently disabled in leg or arm or eyes during the military service of the years 1861-18G4, and after being signed returned to this office. “Under the Act applicants are limited to those who receiv ed a part of the appropriation of 1879-81. There are 1,175 ap plicants enrolled under these Acts, 450 of whom lossed an arm or a leg and 725 for disabilities, and there was paid to these ap plicants upwards of $22,000,00, not including some special ap' propriations. To do the same work the last legislature appro priated $5,095,00. The basis upon which appropriations for 1879- 81 were paid was, the loss of a leg above the knee $100, below the knee $75 ; loss of an arm above the elbow, $60, below the elbow- 40 ; and for disabilities from $15 and up according to in jury. “We present these figures which are approximately cor rect that the applicants through you may understand the diffi culties confrontii gthe Board in disbursing this fund. It is hop ed the more able will not press their claims to the exclusion of the more needy. The law does not discriminate,, but it is the desire of the B >ard that the most need or he absolutely needy be first supplied. “Please therefore aid the Board by having the blanks filled in and signed and return ed at your earliest convenience. “Respectfully, “B. RTillman, “Gov. and Ch. Board.” OFF FOR THE PENITENTIARY. Parties Convicted at the Recent Court Lamar Incendiaries Do Not Go. Guard E. J. Wilson, of the Penitentiary, on Friday carried to that institution the following prisoners (all colored,) who were convicted at 'the recent court and sentenced to serve terms in the Penitentiary: Bill Scott, taking and using mare without owner’s consent and without in tent to steal, four months ; El more Jones, burglary and lar ceny, five years ; George Davis, entering house with intent to steal, one year ; Dozier Hun ter, larceny, eighteen months ; Austin Evans, larceny, two years. The four colored men, John Dukes, John Williams, Handy Morrison and Harrison Gordon, who were convicted of being accessories to the sundry burn ings in the Lamar section and sentenced to serve ten years each in the Penitentiary, were not carried over with the other prisoners. This was because Messrs Boyd & Brown, their attorneys, have given notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court for a new trial and pending the rooms are elegantly furnished. ] appeal the prisoners wdll remain Its reading room is supplied j in the Darlington jail. DARLINGTON CIRCUIT. What ban Been Done Toward* the Mis sion Debt—Other Matters. [Southern Christian Advocate.) I send to-day $15.15 toward the liquidation of the missiona ry debt. This amount, added to the other already sent ‘in, makes $50. My circuit was as sessed $49. I rejoice to see such a hearty response on the [tart of the Church at large to wards the payment of this debt. There is life and spirit in the Church yet. I am trying to stir up my people on the subject of missions, foreign and domestic, by preaching, circulating litera ture and missionary societies. We have two societies of the I. O. G. T’s. They are doing a grand work. Rev. W. A. Mas- sebeau, who was licensed at our last Quarterly Conference to preach, is in favor with the peo ple. He preaches well. He is one of Dr. Carlisle’s best. Since Conference the monster, Death, has been in our midst, and has taken from us three noble men, two of whom were Stewards. But the best of all is God was with them. Theirs ♦as a glor ious death! With their very last breath they praised God, declaring His goodness through a long life, and His power to save in Death. May God bap tize their sons in their stead. I am hungering to hear the Gos pel as preached by some one else, and am looking sforward to 26th and 27th instant, when I shall hear our Presiding Elder. And let me say, that as a preach er, Brother John B. Wilson needs no commendatory words of mine As a Presiding Elder, however, he is somewhat on trial So I may appropriately say that in my humble judg ment he is now, and will con tinue to be, an excellent and ac ceptable officer. His religious spirit and influence is good to edifying. S. J. Bethea. Lydia, S. C., March 18th, ’93. Summer, 1893.
