FACTORY MATTERS.
The Annual Meeting of the Stockhold
ers—Interesting Facts.
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.
THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS.

‘■THE SWAMP FOX."
The New Sarcophagus for Gen.Francis
Marion's Tomb.
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

social obligations which should be un
dertaken by his royal mother. — New
