•'HRIOEOFTHE pee DEE."
A Newspaper Man's Impression of Our
Prosperous City.
[Columbia Evening Journal. [
Darlingtrn, S. 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.”

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.

Principle of

Unfortunately, however, the
beneficiaries of life assurance
are often deprived of the pro

the loss of the principal, by
