As the time for the closing of the bar rooms of the individual citizens and the opening of the great State bar room approach es, interest in the dispensary business is revived. The liquor dealers’ association still keeps "mum” and nobody knows yet what steps it will take towards testing the legality of the law, but that the test will be made, and made soon, there seems to be little doubt. In the meanwhile the State authorities are busy preparing to put the law in operation on July 1, just as if there were no question as to its legality. The Agricultural Hall in Columbia is being fitted up for the State bar room. Two serious difficul ties seems to confront the au thorities, however, the one, time, and the other, money. It has been stated by one, whom it is said knows whereof he speaks, that it will hardly be possible to have the bottles alone, necessary for use, manu factured by the time the law is to go into operation. Again, it is stated that $50,000, the sum appropriated for the dispensary, will not near suffice for the State to conduct its liquor business. The law prescribes that the liquor sold must be on ly of the purest kind and it is alleged that $50,000 will not buy near enough of this quality to meet the demand. It is freely predicted, therefore, that the State will have to commence dealing in liquors on credit. The ultra prohibitionists are not satisfied with the dispensa ry law. They are opposed to the sale of liquor on moral grounds. They do not believe in legalizing it and this is what the dispensary system does Their leaders will meet in Col umbia shortly to decide what course to pursue. Their object is to prevent the establishment of county dispensaries, so as to come nearer having absolute prohibition, but failing in this, they will endeavor to have the law as regards the sale of liquor strictly enforced, accepting it as the best that can be had at present. The liquor question has de veloped three parties in South Carolina and the fight on this line in the next campaign prom ises to be a triangular one. We have now the prohibition ists, the anti-prohibitionists, and the advocates of the dis pensary. This, indeed, gives us a very interesting, but pen plexing condition of affairs. {County News Continued.) UNA. Mrs. Carrie Hicks is still quite unwell. Mr. Charlie Stuckey has plant ed several acres in cotton. Mr. H. M. Woodham has two curiosities in the shape of a gun and a clock. Both are seventy- five years old. The clock cost about fifty dollars, is made of wood and is still a good time keeper. The cost of the gun was seventy-five dollars and Mr. Woodham says it is now worth more than any of the new guns. “ As was stated sometime ago Mrs. T. J. Price and Miss Clara Crosswell are on a visit to Flori da. Mrs. Price writes to friends that they are having a grand time in the land of “orange blossoms,” sight seeing and feasting on oranges and straw berries and eating cabbages and other early vegetables. They are meeting many friends and there is an unusual flow o visitors to Florida this season. We hope they will remember their friends here by bringing back many nice thkgs, espe daily a box of oranges. to receive his customers and supply their needs. Let peoplesay^wbatthey may, but, if we are not mistaken, Grover Cleveland knows a good man when htf sees him. Some of our neighboors se^m to think that the stock 'aw has been abolished by the way they let their stock go at large. Dr. J. A. George filled the pulpit at Antioch on Sunday af ternoon and preached a very in teresting sermon to a large con gregation. Mr. G. C. Taylor is finishing his residence which has been in the course of construction for four years. He intends to move in next week. We have about finished plant ing corn and are very busy pre paring for the cotton crops which will be little above the average this year. We hear of a rumor of anoth er firm opening a general mer chandise business here in the fall. Let them come for compe tition is the life of trade. A new blacksmith shop has been opened here. The ring of the hammer is now heard on both sides of the village and the two shops seem to have as much business as th^y can attend to. LOCALS. {Continued.) A SCHOOL CONGRESS. To be Held at the World's Fair—Del egates From This County, During the week commencing July 17, a Congress of the Rep resentative Youth of the Public Schools of America will be held in Chicago as an auxilliary to the World’s Fair. Every coun ty in the United States is invit ed to send delegates. Darling ton county is entitled to five delegates and the same number of alternates and School Com missioner Perritt has been re quested by the managers of the Congress to appoint them from among the pupils of the schools of the county. These delegates mav be of either sex, but must be between thirteen and twenty years old. The Commissioner is requested to appoint pupils fitted for the position by reason of their character and scholar ship. Mr. Perritt now has the matter under advisement and will announce the appointments through The News as soon as they are made. Remember that Strauss & Bros, give the best fits in clothing. Edwards & Co. DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS. A Communication from the Sheriff in Regard to Them. Editor Darlington News: Will you be kind enough to say to all taxpayers, against whom I hold executions for last fiscal year, that the law forces me to make my report within ninety days from date of receiv ing said executions from the County Treasurer. Now it is not my desire to levy and in crease cost to delinquents, and if parties will come forward at once and satisfy these claims without second notice from me or my deputies, it would save money to them and trouble to me. I am going to comply with the law and no request outside of the law net d be made. Delinquents will take notice and govern themselves accord ingly. G. P.Scarborough, Sheriff.

A Requisition for a Man Wanted for a Small Offence. Wash Lide, colored, of Dar lington, is waiting in the jail at Wadesboro for the Governor of North Carolina to honor a re quisition of the Governor of South Carolina to have him turned over to the Darlington county authorities. Lide is charged^with breach of trust. He was a servant in the employ of R. W. Boyd, Esq. Recently another servant of Mr. Boyd entrusted him with $4,10 to send off in a postottice money order Lide, instead of performing the mission, skipped with the mon ey to Wadesboro, where he was arrested upon advices from Dar lington. As soon as the requi sition papers are arranged. Sheriff Scarborough will send for the prisoner. THE CATHOLIC MISSION. A Resident Priest at Florence to Visit Darlington Regularly. The congregation of St. A thony’s Catholic Church of Florence has organized a so ciety to assist the church in re taining a resident priest in Flor ence. This priest will fill the appointments at Darlington and Early’s Crossroads, formerly in charge of Father Wright. The Bishop has not yet selected the priest for the position, but it is probable that he will designate Father Budds, who has recently been performing Father Wright’s work in this section. Thejvisitatioi s oPa-lingb n md Early’s Crossroads will be made once a month. Hon. T. E. Watson and Hon. T. E. Winn, the leaders of the Third party in Georgia, admit that if the Democrats will carry out their pledges there is no need for the Third party. Notice.

Harris Lithia Water, HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
