THE TOWN MASS MEETING.
There Will be a Dispensary-Other
Matters of Public Interest.
The attendance was not large
at the mass meeting of citizens
in the Court House, on Friday
night, which was called for the
purpose of deciding whether the
we should have a dispensary
and for the purpose of discuss
ing other matters of interest to
the town. Mr. J. J. Ward,Esq.,
was madfLchairman and Mr. L.
E. Williamson acted as secre
tary. No action in regard to the
question of having a dispensary
was taken. This means that
we will have a dispensary. A
committee was appointed, how
ever, to examine the petitions
of the several applicants for
county dispenser and if they
bear signatures of persons not
free hold voters the committee
shall take proper steps to have
such signatures stricken off
This committee consists of
Messrs. C. S. McCullough. W.
A. Parrott and J. W. Evans.
The other matters for which
the meeting was called were
then taken up for consideration
They were purely for the ad
vancement of the interests of
the town. The question of hav
ing a carnival in Darlington in
the fall, with attractions that
will draw large crowds from
neighboring sections, was free
ly discussed. If was stated that
horse races, bic/cle races, a
competitive drill and a number
of other attractions could be ar
ranged. It was decided tnat a
committee be appointed to look
into the question of having a
carnival and, if it be found ad
visable, to provide the ways
and means therefor. The fol
lowing committee was appoint
ed: W. F. Dargan, II. T.
Thompson, W. J. Moorhead, M
Bonnoitt, J. H. Early, C. Alex
ander, J. C. Willcox, Bright
Williamson, C. S. McCullough,
E. R. Mclver, W. E. James, 8.
Manne. Everybody hopes that
the carnival will be held, as it
will be a splendid thing for the
town.
The question of better accom
modations at the Atlantic Coast
Line depot was next discussed.
Our people have long suffered
from the railroad’s neglect in
this matter and it was deter
mined to try once more the peti
tion plan for procuring a new
depot and better accommoda
tions. A committee consisting
of Messrs. H. T. Thompson, W.
F. Dargan and J. D. Baird, was
appointed to prepared the peti
tion to the railroad authorities
and to get the signatures of
every business man and citizen
of the town. After this the
meeting adjourned.
THE RINGLEADER CAUGHT.
Willie Thomas, of Lamar Incendiary
Fame, Cap'.ured in Sumter.
Willie Thomas, the negro who
was regarded as the leader of
the gang charged with the many
burnings and robberies in the
Lamar section last fall, was
captured in Sumter on Sunday
by the police authorities of that
place. Thomas had up to that
time successfully eluded arrest,
though diligent search w a's
made for him. It will be re
membered that he was once
captured by a posse of Lamar
citizens, but he succeeded in
escaping.
The offence with which he is
charged with in this county is
the burning of the depot at
Lamar, but he is also charged
with robbing the postoffice at
Mayesville, Sumter county This
latter offence is against the
United States laws and, as that
government has precedence, the
case against him in the Federal
Court will first be disposed of
before our Court can get a rap
at him. The others charged
with being membeis of the gang
have been convicted and are
now in the Darlington jail
garden was lighted with Chi
nese lanterns and quite a num
ber of friends were present to
enjoy the evening. The musi
cal programme was well arran

out. The following are those
who participated, all of whom

THE COUNTY DISPENSARY.
The Board has Organized and is Now
Getting Down to Business.
The Board of Control for the
dispensary in Darlington has
been organized. Messrs J. O.
A. Moore and W. P Carter,
who had not qualified when we
last went press, have since done
so. The organization was made
on Monday, when Mr. J. O. A
Moore was elected chairman.
Mr. A. A. Gandy, who is clerk
of the board of i Jounty Commis
sioners, will, in accordance with
the provisions of the law, act as
clerk of the Board of Conirol.
The board decided that all ap
plications for county dispenser
shall oe filed by Wednesday of
next week, the 7th inst., and
the board wili meet ten days af
terwards, on the 17th inst., to
pass upon the applications.
Right here we may state that
there is another Richmond in
the field for county dispenser,
namely, Mr. Geo. A. Bland. It
will be remembered that Messrs
F. R. Rhodes and J. Buckner
Floyd are the other applicants.
The question of where the dis
pensary shall be located was
discussed at Monday’s meeting,
but no definite action was taken
in this matter. This will be de
cided probably at the next meet
ing, on the 17th inst., when the
applications for dispenser will
bt considered.
delivery in this State, in all
cases where the consignment is
shipped outside of the State ami
comes under the class of Inter-
State freight. It is stated that
the question has been referred
to the counsel of the Southern
and other express companies
and they have rendered an opin
ion to the effect that all ship
ments of liquor above half a
pint was “a legitimate article of
merchandise.” The State itself,
they hold, legitimizes the busi
ness and has gone into it for
revenue, and that parties out
side of the State cannot be de
nied the right of doing business
in the State. R is stated that
the express companies expect to
handle the whiskey that may
be offered them ‘‘open and
above board,” and packages
will be taken in open demijohns
or jugs. At this rate it is prob
able that one of the first suits
to test the constitutionality of
the law will be through the ex
press companies. As has al
ready been intimated in this
correspondence, some of the
railroad authorities have al
ready decided to handle all
freights offered them, without
inquiring as to the contents.
The first suits under which it is
said that the dispensary law
will be made to crumble will be
thos6 brought by non-residents
in the Federal Courts.
Interesting times are promis
ed, and the State will have to
devise ways aVid means to car
ry on its prolonged legal battle,
as the last legal contingent fund
is said to be a thing of the some
what distant past.

People Who Plow Into the Roads Will
be Prosecuted.
At a meeting of the County
Commissioners last week the
board determined to punish to
the full extent of the law all
persons who plow into the pub
lic roads. Already this year
the commissioners have made a
number of persons level the
roads which they had plowed
into, and if others, who have
committed the same offence, do
not immediately level the roads
back to the line of stakes, which
mark the sides of the public
thoroughfares, the board will
take steps to have them punish
ed, without fear or favor, to the
law's fullest extent.
DEATH IN SWIFT CREEK.
Everything Arranged to Make it the
Greatest Success.
The committees having in
charge the military reception to
be given this (Thursday) even
ing in the Cleveland Hotel, in
compliment to the Darlington
Guards for their recent victory
in Columbia, have completed
most extensive arrangements
for the occasion. The dance
hall, reception rooms, etc, have
been beautifully decorated and
everything promises that the
affair will be the most success
ful of its kind ever given in
Darlington. The attendance of
town people will be very large
and a goodly number of visitors
have arrived to participate in
the pleasures of the evening.
The committees wish again
to urge upon the guests the im
portance of attending at the
hour specified (9 o’clock), so
that the special programme
which has been arranged will
not be delayed or interrupted
by late arrivals.
A Cure for Twenty Cents.
Any remedy sold at one dollar
a bottle which claims to cure
Rheumatism, is simply an im
position for when all expenses
are deducted it leaves not more
than twenty cents to represent
the medicine. Dr. Drummond’s
Lightning Remedy, which is
performing such wonderful
cures that it is being prescribed
by the medical faculty every
where, is compounded at great
expense from rare drugs, and
cannot be sold for less than Five
Dollars a bottle. But it always
cures. Sent prepaid to any ad
dress on receipt of price. Drum

electric Bitters.
This remedy is becoming so
well known and so popular as
to need no special mention. All
who have used Electric Bitters
sing the same song of praise.—
A purer medicine does not exist

that is claimed. Electric Bitters
will cure all diseases of the Liv

Pimples, Boils, Salt Rheum and
other affections caused by im
pure blood.—Will drive Malaria
Don't Take Our Word
But call your druggist to one
side and ask him privately which
of all the remedies advertised to
cure Rheuipatism he would re
commend. If he is posted, and
conscientious, he will tell you
that Dr. Drummond’s Lightning
Remedy is the only one that of
fers a reward of $500 for a case
it will not cure and forordinary
cases the. money is* returned
when one bottle does not cure.
With sensible people this is the
strongest recommendation.

his wife who was threatened
with Pneumonia after an at
tack of “La Grippe,” when var
ious other remedies and several
physicians had done her no good.
