(Continued from 1st patje.) THE ARTIFICIAL LIMB FUND. The Clerk of the Court has Received the Portion for This County. Tht- Clerk of the Court has re ceived checks, aggregating! 102, which constitute the portion of the artificial limb fund to be distributed among the residents of Darlington county who are by decision of the State board entitled to the same. This fund, amounting in all to $5,(XX), was appropriated by the last session of the Legislature to relieve old Confederate soldiers in this State who lost a limb in the war. For the loss of a leg $20 is given; for the loss of an arm above the elbow, f 16.50; for the loss of an arm below the elbow, $13.50. It will thus be seen by the list given below the class to which each beneficiary belongs, except in the case of Mr. J. W. Windham who receives $20 for •the loss of an eye. The following arc those for whom the money is waiting in the Clerk’s office: W. L. Gal loway, Darlington, $20; Caleb Odom, Darlington, $20; Robert Dampier, Darlington, £l0.50;W. H. H. Miller, Darlington, $13; J. H. Brown, Hartsville, $20; B. 8. Lucas, Hartsville, $16.50; L. M. Crosswell, Dovesville, $13; J. W. Windham, Lamar, $20; W. T. Gilbert, Ashland, $16.50; H. J. DuBose, Cypress, $16.50. A check for $20 was also sent for Mr. Thomas Dav<s, of Stokes Bridge, who lost a leg, but since the State board approved bin application Mr. Davis has died and, consequently, the check intended for him will be re turned. MIND READING. An Exhibition of the Wonderful Power to be Given in Darlington. Prof. P. Goshaun, the mind reader, will appear at the Dar lington opera house on Thurs day night next, the 22nd inst. That afternoon he will give a public test of his power as fol lows : He will allow any two reliable citizens to hide a post- office key in any part of the city. Before concealing same they can place a card addressed to any person in the city in an envelope and seal the envelope and place the same in the post- office box that the key belongs to. The professor will take these two gentlemen, selected to give the test, by the hand and lead them to where the key has been concealed and then to the postoftice and find the lock box that the key belongs to, and take therefrom the blank envelope, with the addressed card enclosed, and take same to the party the card is addressed to. The professor will be thor oughly blindfolded and the two gentlemen selected will not be known to him until time to give the test. The manager of the opera house will select them so there will be no chance for a confederate. At night the pro fessor gives two hours of his wonderful ability. His com mittees are selected from the audience and are allowed to f ive him any test they desire. he prices of admission are 35 cents and 25 cents. TO THE WORLD S FAIR. The Teachers to Go at a Very Cheap Rate—Others May Join the Party. Mr. P. E. Rowell, principal of the Palmetto Collegiate Insti tute at Lexington, S. C., and editor of the Palmetto Teacher, was in Darlington on Tuesday working up an excursion to the World’s Fair for the benefit of the teachers of South Carolina. As a member of the press com mittee of the Southern Teachers’ Association he has been able to secure very cheap rates. The railroad fare for the round trip from Columbia (the starting point) is $32, but Mr. Rowell feels confident that he will have this reduced to $25. He has se cured good lodgings at Chicago at $2.75 per week and board at 90 cents per day. The excur sion will leave on July 10 and will give a two weeks’ stay at the Fair and, at the rates given above, $75 ought to, and will, cover everything necessary and incident to the trip. While this excursion is for the especial benefit of the teachers any ac ceptable persons of other call ings may, upon application, join the party. Those who wish to take advantage of these cheap rates should communicate with Mr. Rowell, at Lexington, 8. C. % ' FLYERS OF THE TRACK. Horses and Bicyclis s Give Exhibitions of Their Speed. A large crowd attended the races or Friday afternoon last,) but as they were not as good as usual the spectatois were in a largo measure disappointed. The following v/as the result of the races: First race, between W. F. Dargan’s Alice and J. N. Ker- vin’s Kate’s colt, was won by the former; second race, be tween W. F. Dargan’s Rob Roy and J. N. Ken in's Mil’s colt, was won' by the former; the third race, between Highland Red and R. C., two heats, was won by Highland Red; fourth race, between 0. R. Woods’s; Bessie, W. F. Dargan’s Alice and W. J. M< orhead’s Belle, | was won by Bessie. The introduction of three bicycle races was an attractive innovation. In the first race] the wheelmen crossed the line! in the following order, Hunter Moore, of Flore ice, S. Manne, T. W. Norment, Platte Morgan, of Florence, Mr Moore making a quarter of a mile in 46 seconds. The following v.-as the order in the second race, F. E. Floyd, J. 1). Baird, L. 8. Welling, Mr. Floyd making a quarter of a mile in 54 secon Is. In the third race, which was between Hunt er Moore and 8. Manne, the former won, making an eighth of a mile in 20 seconds. Set Free. After the g^and jury last week returned ’“no bill” in the case of Rosa Bass, colored, who was charged with receiving goods stolen from the canning factory by her husband, Silas B. Bass, the case against her in the trial justice court, charg ing her with stealing a dress pattern from Mr. Rotholz’s store, was compromised and the wo man has been set free. This puts an end to a case which had many interesting episodes, un less Silas B. Bass, whose shrewd ness enabled him to escape from jail, wili be recaptured, which is not probable. IN THE COURTS AGAIN. The Liquor Dealers Will Make Still An. other Fixht Against the Dispensary. [Nbwh ami Courier, June 12-1 It is pretty well established that some interesting develop ments in dispensary matters will be heard of in the near fu ture. Some tin e ago the News and Courier i nnounced that preparations were making for a new fight against the Evans law, and now it is well estab lished that that prediction is about to be fulfilled. A gentleman, who said he got his information straight from one of the retail liquor dealers of the city, told a reporter yes terday that in a few days two prominent young lawyers of this city would have Charles ton for Baltimc re, where they proposed to apply to Judge Bond for an injunction to pre vent the State f om closing the bar rooms unt.l a chance had been given of testing the con stitutionality of the Taw before the United States Supreme Court. Shouki Judge Bond grant the restraining order the matter would have to rest where it now is until some time during the next winter, when the Su preme Court would have a chance of decii ing it once for all. The movement is being made under the auspices of the retail trade, and it is said that neither trouble nor expense will be spared in carrying it through. They are, moreover, reported to be very sanguine of the success of the scheme. Dealers who se cured their licenses for the en tire year are jubilant, while those faint-hearted parties who got out six-months’ licenses are now feeling very sore over the matter. Nobody knows, of course, ex actly what arguments will be presented to the Judge, but it is said that the attorneys referred to are confident that they have a good case. The retail dealers seem to think that if the law is prevented from going into effect until after the Legislature meets , next fall that that body will ac- ‘ knowledge the errorsof its ways and repeal the Act. As tlfere is now very little lime left for ac tion it is thought that these de velopments will take place with in the immediate future. The gentlemen who furnished the information thought that the next few days would settle the whole matter in one way or an other. —— WHY NOT? The Dispensary •System, It Would Seem, Warrant; Such a Course. [Sumter Watchman ami Southron.] It is granted that gambling is a sin and that many men are ruined by it and much misery brought upon their innocent families. It is also granted that gambling hells ore as attractive and seductive as saloons are, and many men are induced to enter therein and participate. It is also granted those who run these hells,“the bankers,”make great profit therefrom. All this! granted, and being so similar to ! the arguments against the bar rooms and in favor of the dis- ponsary, it strikes us that the State had better take charge of the gambling business and run it on a high moral plane ?—so called—and thereby derive much profit for the State. Ther.e would be as many “good” men anxious to run those reformed hells for the benefit of the State and a good salary. The JOeacon'M Ueputntlon I* Safe. La wyer Freuch, who represents Pitts field tn the legislature, passed around the other day among his fellow solons a card which he found on his table upon returning to his law office. He had left the card bearing two words—“Return soon." During his absence a client had written underneath it, “This is a d d lie." A second visitor to the office dur ing the interval had been a worthy dea con who had called to see Mr. French on church business, and apparently not noticing the language already inscribed had added his own message and signed his name. Fortunately Mr. French was able to distinguish between the two handwritings, and the deacon's standing remains secure.—Springfield (Mass.) Homestead. State. Meant. A monthly statement.
