The annual meeting of the Darlington Manufacturing Com pany was held in the office of the President on Thursday. The number of shares represented at the meeting either in person or by proxy was 1,836. The re port of the President showed the affairs of the company to be in a flourishing condition. The following interesting facts gleaned from the repcit will give an idea of the immense work done by the factory dur ing the past year. The number of yardo of shirting manufac tured is 5,000,000; number of pounds of yarn, 375,000; num ber of bales of cotton consumed (all of which was bought at this market) 4,8 0 0, or 2,500,000 pounds, at a cost of about $175,- 000; cost of fuel (also entirely expended at this place) over $10,000; salaries paid for labor, $52,000; amount paid for freight $15,000. It will thus be seen that the factory put in circu lation in town during last year $237,000. The company declared a divi dend of 7 per cent, which, how ever, represents just half the net earnings for the year. The remainder is retained for a re serve fund, as has been the cus tom for several years. The board of directors for last year was reelected as follows: W. C. Cok er, J. L. Coker, G. A. Norwood, of Greenville, J. J. Ward, W. A. Carragan, I. Lewenthal, E. Keith Dargan, Bright William son, H. Baer, Charleston, J. Gregg McCall. Capt. W. C. Coker was reelected President.

New York, May 5.—The Clyde steamship which sailed this morning for Charleston, S. C., bears in its hold two bronze tablets wlr'ch will ornament the new granite tomb of Gen. Fran cis Marion, “The Swamp Fox,” the Revolutionary hero buried at his Belle Isle plantation on the Santee river, South Caroli na, about fifty miles north of Charleston. A simple brick tomb, covered with a slab of marble, has marked the spot. Some years ago a tree fell across the tomb and disfigured it. The State Legislature at its last ses sion appropriated money to buy a new tombstone and requested Governor Tillman to have the work completed. It has been done in a substantial and ele gant manner. The memorial is in the form of a sarcophagus. The base block is three feet wide by over six feet long. On it are several other blocks of stone, making a total height of six feet. AN IMPROBABLE STORY. Gen. Earle Said to be in Grooming for the Senatorial Race. [The State.] Washington, May 5.—Quite a sensation was created in South Carolina circles here to day by a rumor to the effect that Joseph H. Earle would op pose Senator Butler in the next Senatorial race, instead of Till man. Report has it here that since the Denmark lynching and other bad breaks made by Tillman, the Governor is afraid to go against any one as popu lar as the present senior Sena tor. Irby and Tillman have held several conferences on the subject, it is said, and finally decided to groom Earle for the race. The Blue and Fall of Faialllea. A family, like a race or a nation, does indeed bud, flower ami run to seed, ami the seed must be transplanted to new soil in order to bnd and flower again. ?4ow a part of the foolish ancestorship of the past resulted in the creation of aristocracies built on the foundation of an illustrious ancestor. We are get ting wiser and better. We are putting our aristocracies closer to the primal source. We are learning no longer to respect a man because his ancestor was better than himself, but because he him self is an ancestor. The farce of royalty is played out; the farce of rank and caste is in a moribund condition. All men will soon learn to laugh at the claims of long descent. Many men laugh at them now. And this in itself is an immense step in advance. Snobbery, vulgarity, pretension—these hideous traits will soon be of the past. Our grandchildren, freed from the ab surd ideas, the absurd restrictions of semisavage inception, will be larger, more generous, more tolerant—better, in short, than ourselves. Fresh and vigor ous blood will intermix with the worn out descendants of great men, and in due time greater men from the stock will be born to the future. Every suc ceeding age sees the abandonment of some superstition which has checked the progress and development of the race in the past.—William S. Walsh in New York World. A Comparison of Birth Ratos. There are 88,000,000 people in France, and during the last five years the in crease in population has only been 124,- 000. In 5a departments out of a total of 60 there is actually a diminution. It is not due to any high average of deaths, although infant mortality is higher than it should be. It is due to the small nam- ber of children born. The average birth rate has fallen to 31 or 23 per 1,000 in habitants. This is a phenomenally low rate when contrasted with 88 to 89 in Germany, 85 or 86 in Italy, 83 in Eng land and 30 in Switzerland. The per centage is lower in France than in any other country; so that there is a rapid increase in rival countries and France remains stationary.—Chicago Herald. A Monument to Loyola. Ignatius Loyola’s followers have erect ed a monument to his memory over the spot where the fortune* of war decided that Canada should be a free British country. “The Jesuits’ Retreat” stands in the city of Quebec on the ground consecrated by the blood of English sol diers, and in front of it has been placed a colossal statue of the founder of the order.—Toronto MaiL Trouble* of the Prlnee of Wales. The salary and emoluments of the Prince of Wales, supposed to be about f200,000, would probably be enough for his private needs were he not put to so large an expense in performing royal and social obligations which should be un dertaken by his royal mother. — New York Press.
