§ht Darlington HENRY T. THOMPSON.) ' Edi WA9DY THOMPSON, Editors. Tharsday, June 15,1893. JUST AS WE EXPECTED. In appointing Mr. J. P. Ker- vin, who is a strong Tillmanite, a member of the Darlington county board of control, the Governor did not take our ad vice. We are not surprised, however, for this is just what we expected. He said that he wanted, wherever possible, to give Conservatives represen tation on the boards and it oc curred to us to show him that it was not only possible, but de sirable, that this should be done in Darlington county. Wepoint- ed out to him that there were Conservatives in this county who favor the dispensary and who would make acceptable members of the board of con trol, but our advice was turned down. We have been told by a prom inent Tillmanite that he had recommended to the Governor two Conservatives, either of whom, he thought, it would be well to have appointed on the board, but the Governor thought otherwise. Despite his statement that he wished to ap point a Conservative on each county board in order to remove the dispensary from partisan politics, the Governor has re fused to do so in Darlington county. He has said one thing and done another. This was a splendid oppor tunity for him to prove his sin cerity, but he has failed to take advantage of it. GENERAL NEWS. Item* o. Interest From All Over The World. In a railroad collision in Pennsylvania last week two persons were killed. Amanda D. Toomer, a negro woman who died in Augusta on Sunday, was worth $487,000.

In a fire which destroyed a; warehouse in New York last week one hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton was burned. The question of opening the World’s Fair on Sunday is still in the Courts, but in the mean time the gates are opened every Sunday. A convent at Montreal, the largest in America, was des troyed by fire on Thursday. The loss is about a million and a half dollars. Edwin Booth, the world’s greatest actor of the day, died in New York on Tuesday of last week after an illness of several years. The President states that he will call an extra session of Congress, probably in Septem ber, to deal with the all-absorb ing silver question.

Reports show that in the low country the acreage in water melons for Northern shipment has been increased this year six hundred and forty acres. An unknown colored man was found dead near a railroad track in Hampton county last week. Whether his death was due to accident or foul play is not known.

Clemson College will be posi tively opened on July fi. At the meeting of the board of trustees held last week the question of a president was taken up, but af ter several fruitless ballots were had the matter was postponed. Politicians are already specu lating as to the next State can vass. It seems to be the gen eral opinion r ow that John Ga ry Evans, of Aiken, the father of the Evans dispensary bill, will be the candidate of the Tillman faction for Governor. A Pretty Ornament. A pretty addition to a dreading table or bureau is a strip of wide ribbon let tered with acme appropriate inscription. In a guestroo*. across the top of the white maple bureau, was such a bund of pale yellow, embroidered in old Englisli text in black. “The ornament of a house it the friends who frequent it." The band liegan in a urge rosette and ended at the otbe~ side in a loose bow, witn long ends, which fell nearly to the slab, and was most ../easily effective.— New York Times.

ABigFire in Lynn, Mass 'i Woods’&’Wooils.’* Lost. The scene of Judge J. the retirement Kershaw from the bench, which was enacted at Camden last week, was very affecting. Members of the bar in that circuit gave abund ant testimonials of their esteem for the eminent jurist and gal lant soldier. Judge Gary, his ' successor, was the recipient of the warmest congratulations. A terrific tire visited Fargo, North Dakota, on Wednesday of last week. Over two hundred residences and stores were burn ed and more than two thousand people were rendered homeless. The loss will reach $4,000,000. An Irtelaman’a Exeune. During a of exceedingly cold weather in a frontier army poet the commanding oft cer issued an order to have limited rations of whisky issued to his men. All went well until one day a soldier, an Irish-Ameriran, was arrested ami placed in the guardhouse for intoxica tion. The quantity of whisky allotted to each man was insufficient to produce such a result, mi 1 a brief investigation which followed developed the faet that the soldier had stolen the rations of a comrade. In course of time the matter was brought to the attetUlon of the com manding officer, and the jirivate was or dered before him for trial upon the hei nous charge of stealing. Pat was very much downcast when he appeared before the officer, but was still in poSsession of his faculties and native wit. He denied having stolen the whis ky, but frankly admitted drinking the double allowance and his subsequent drunkenness. "No, sur,” he said, when asked to ex plain further, "shur^ I’m not afther stealin the drink. It was this way, sur. You see, he asked me to get his rations, and I had mo o vn requisition an only wan bottle. Both rations were jioured in the wan bottle. “Now, sur, I lave it to yer honor, what was I to do? Me own whicky was in the bottom of the bottle, an I couldn’t get at it but by dhrinking what was on the top, but shure I didn’t steal it.” This original explanation secured an exceedingly light sentence fur the cul prit.—New York Herald. IS A bold bank robbery was committed at Rogers, Ark., last week. Six robbers entered the town in broad daylight and at the point of their guns made the officials of a bank surrender all the money in the vaults, amounting to $10,000. They all escaped, bat before they got out of the town some citizens fired upon them and they returned! the fire. Two of the robbers and three citizens were wound ed in the fight. Stealing a Radhot Stove. “The incident often illustrated in plays of a man carrying off a redhot stove has no bat lo truth," said Halman Carmody. "Still the idea seems so pre posterous that p* ople never fail to laugh at the incident when placed before them on the stage. The nearest theft that 1 ever knew to pa.allcl it occurred not sc many years ago when an habitual crim inal in New Yo k city was given six months in the pe dtentiary for stealing a tinner's stove. T ie evidence proved that the criminal had a record which Included everything from the theft of a paper of pins and a wagor wheel down to a watei gauge of a steam engine and the stove in question. • ‘Th# tinner's st ove was shown in court. It was a very old fashioned, large and ungainly looking affair, which one might imagine would lie the last thing that would attract tlie attention of even a chronic burglar. The top was cylindrical and perfectly open for the purpose of draft To this top was attached the handle. Now, ti e stove had a good fir- in it and had been set out on the pave ment to obtain < xtra flame. The thicl must have found It a very hot object to handle, and yet he ran with it a doxeu blocks before he was caught and arrest ed.”—St. Louis Globe-Domocrat, Th* Woman to B* Pitted. The woman who must earn money and at the same time keep house, nurse babies, sew up s«ams, manage sen-ants and attend to the complex affairs of an establishment is to be pitied. She has far too much for one pair of hands to do. —Harpier’s Bazar. England contends with smallpox at a disadvantage. Many persons of influence do not believe in vaccination, write against it and oppose it in every way they can. The opposition has grown greatly during the long absence of the epidemic. "It will cost you 15 cents just the same,” are the reported words of a New York druggist when he was told thr.t the use of his telephone was desired ir. a case of life or death. Of course the 15 cents were paid. K ETWEEN Dovesville and the town of Darlington, or the i'ublic Square and the & D. K.

Tinning, Roofing & Plumbing _A_ SJPIEOI-A.LT'X'- Oct 6—tf Harris Lithia W ater, HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C. After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters! from many sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lith ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the water, for mv experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily should be taken fromiwo to four weeds, to secure its full remedial effects.
