SUNDAY TRAINS ON THE C. & D.
Not Contrary to the Charter—Such
Train* Have Been Run Before.
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.

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 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 —
