The running of a Sunday train to Darlington on the Che- raw & Darlington Railroad has caused considerable discussion among our people as to how it could be done, as it has been the prevailing impression for years in this section that the charter of the road prohibited the running of Sunday trains. This impression is, we believe, incorrect, however, for an in vestigation into the charter and all the subsequent amendments thereto that are accessible, fails to show any provision prohibit ing Sunday trains. The idea that the present Sunday train is the first of the kind ever run on this road is also an error. One of our older residents tells us that a Sunday train was run on the Cheraw & Darlington Railroad for the first four years after it was built, carrying the United States mails. When at the end of this period the contract for carrying the mails expired, it was renew ed without the provision for carrying Sunday mails and then it was that the Sunday trains were discontinued. THE FLORAL FAIR The Success Attending; the First Ef forts of the Horticultural Society. The first annual floral fair of the Darlington Horticultural Society is now in progress and, as the first effort of the society, its success is most gratifying. Last evening the fair was open ed and the opera house, where it was held, was indeed a beau tiful sight with the many hand some flowers on exhibition and the tasty decorations about the hall. One of the chief features of the evening was the cantata, which was admirably well ren dered. A good number were in attendance and everybody seemed greatly pleased with the fair. This morning at ten o'clock the fair will be opened again to enable people living at a dis tance from Darlington to attend. This afternoon will be the “children’s hour,’’ with special attractions for them, when the pupils of St. John's school will be admitted for 5 cents. The fair will close to-night with an attractive programme. As has been previously stated the pro ceeds of the fair will be devoted to the library fund of St. John's school. UNDER WHIP AND SPUR. The Friday Afternoon Races at the Track Growing in Popularity. The Driving Association is now having races on its track every Friday afternoon. This soutce of amusement is becom ing quite popular and every Friday there is a good attend ance of interested spectators, among whom are a number of ladies. On last Friday, in spite of the high wind which prevail ed, three good races were had. The first race was between Mr. J. W. Blackwell’s “Red Chief” and Capt. Paul Whipple’s “J. R.” This race was won by “J. R.” The second race was two heats and was between Mr. C. R Woods’ “Bessie” and Mr. W. F. Dargan’s “Eugene Wray- bum.” “Bessie” won. In the third race there were four en tries, made respectively by Dr. W. J. Garner, Capt. J. C. Blackwell, Mr. G. W. Brown and Mr. W. J. Moorhead Dr. Garner’s horse, “Sam Jones,” won. An attractive programme has been arrarqaeL. o^narnorrow’s ’Tlie public, nd the ihe public, a, , y ** ladies especially, are inv. • OUR LITTLE CHAIN GANG. The New Law to Work the Jail Birds Promises to Bring Good Results. The new law which allows any court to put persons, sen tenced to the county jail for small offences, to hard labor promises to be a good thing. It is a very near approach to the chain gang, which The News has long advocated. George Brockenton, who has the dis tinction (?) of being the first man to be put in the county’s chain gang, has been most pro fitably employed by the town in working the streets. The | and prohibits special privileges town only pays for his food and thus gets the labor very cheap. On the other hand the county, being relieved of the expense of feeding him, is free of any cost in keeping him in jail. This week another prisoners were added to the gang and as soon as a sufficient number is reach ed to warrant the employment of a guard, say five or six, the county will put the gang to work upon the public roads. A DESERVED PROMOTION. Mr Gus Young Given Charge of a Telegraph Office in Marlboro. Mr. Gus Young, the fourteen- year-old son of Mr. W. D. Young, who has been working for sometime in the telegraph office at this place as messenger, has received a deserved promo tion. He has been put in charge of the telegraph officeatMcColl, in Marlboro county. This is quite a compli ment to a young man of his years, but he deserved it. For nineteen months he worked in the office at this place and dur ing that time be never missed a day at work. While attending faithfully to his duties he learn ed telegraphy and his good ser vice has earned its reward. His successor as messenger at the Darlington office is Master Lis ten Young, the brother of Mr. Johnston Young, who clerks in Mr. Mertz’s store. THE FLOWER MISSION. The Ladies Requested to Bear in Mind the Meeting To Morrow. All the ladies of Darlington, who are interested in, or in sympathy with, the movement to organize a flower mission, should remember the meeting to-morrow (Friday) morning in the opera house at 10 o’clock. A full attendance is earnestly desired. Ladies, who have flowers to contribute to the cause or have buggies which they are willing to place at the disposal of the mission for use in the distribution of the flow ers, are requested to make the fact known in person or by note at the meeting to-morrow. This work in behalf of the sick and poor should appeal to every body. A Sunday School Presentation. Mr. Angus Gainey, of Green ville, Tenn., is visiting relatives in Darlington, his old home. Mr. Gainey has charge of the music in the Baptist Sunday- school in his Tennessee home and has a well organized and well trained choir. On leaving for Darlington a photograph of the choir was given him for presentation to the Baptist Sun- .day-school at this place. Mr. Gainey presented the photo graph with appropriate remarks on Sunday morning and it was received in behalf of the school by the superintendent, Mr. C. B. Edwards. THE CHANCE TO MARRY. With marry age is From THE WAGE WORKERS’ ADDRESS, j Adopted by the League in its First 1 State Convention. dictate con vent ior^of theLp Wage Workers' League met in | Columbia on Wednesday of last 1 week when a permanent organ ization was effected. There was a large attendance. The fol lowing address was issued to the people: 1. The constitution of the State, and of the United States, guarantees equal rights to all, dal pri to any of its citizens. It is there fore the duty of those who may feel themselves aggrieved through the enactment of un just laws, the effect of which is to deprive some of their con stitutional rights, while bestow ing upon others unlawful privil eges, to assemble and protest against such unjust, inequitable and unlawful legislation; and to take measures to accomplish its repeal. More especially is this a duty, when, from the decision of partisan officials, empowered to execute and enforce such laws, the right to appeal to the courts is denied; a right wisely guran- teed by the fundamental law of the land, and recognized as one of the cardinal principles of : Democracy; a right which ex perience has proven to be a shield of safety, to the weak against the strong, to the few against the many; aright which has been, and must be, cherish ed among the dearest privileges of a free people. 2. We condemn the vicious class legislation attempted and enacted by the Legisleture at its recent session, and endorsed and approved by the Governor of this State, the pernicious ef fects of which will be to put to hazard all industries dependent upon corporate capital, to lessen the volume of currency, to in crease the cost of credit, and to render uncertain and precarious the occupation of all wage-work ers within the State. 3. We denounce the inconsist ency of the promises made, which, proclaiming salaries too large, omits to reduce them; de claring taxes too high, increases them; professing opposition to monopoly, conspires to make the State a monopolist: preach ing prohibition, legislates the State into a rum-seller. 4. We declare our principles to be embodied in the simple, but sound, Detnocratic doctrine of “Equal rights to all, special privileges to none;” and our B se to repeal and oppose all ition inconsistent there with. 5. We acknowledge agricul ture t9 be the master-wheel of industrial mechanism; but we declare that in the enactment and execution of just and whole some laws it is essential to con sider that the quality and quan tity of the product depends upon the harmonious working of the whole machine, and that upon no industry more than agricul ture will fall the injurious ef fects of a departure from this just principle. (i. We believe the interests of capital and labor to be the same, and we assert that a blow aim ed at one will fall upon both; and that legislation directed “against” either will react up on the people of the whole State. And we assert that the employ ment of convict labor in com petition with free labor is con trary to the best interests of the State. 7. We recognize the propriety of just laws, restraining the abuse of rights and privileges granted to individuals or cor porations, but we condemn all laws tending, unrighteously, to lessen inducement to capital to invest in the development of legitimate industries within the State. We strongly urge our people to encourage immigra tion and we believe that South Carolina offers unexcelled in ducements to the agricultural class with small capital as well as manufactuiing industries, and that it shall be a part of the declaration of principles of the Industrial and Wage-Work ers’ Democratic League to en courage and assist any enter prise whose object is to bring immigrants to our State t — f: ^f^'V-.fe’ecessity of independence NORMENT &.

Are they pro vided for in case of your death? The simplest and safest way of assuring their protection is life in surance.
