IN OLD DARLINGTON.
The Editor of the Advocate Writes of
this County In his Paper.
Sixteen years ago 1 made my
first visit to the "Gully Camp
Meeting.” near Lydia, in Dar
lington County. The friends
were so kind and hospitable on
this occasion I counted it a joy
and pleasure to meet them there
the n^xt three years also. Friend
ships were formed on these oc-1
ensions that I have only been
very glad to renew as oppor
tunity afforded. The c a m p i
ground is gone, but the same
kind and generous-hearted peo
ple are there—at least many of
them. Not a few have passed
over the river; some have mov- j
ed away to other sections; while
a goodly company of boys and
girls (strangers to me) are the-e
to take the places of those who
have gone before. It has al
ways been a great pleasure to
me to visit this fair country and
generous people, and 1 have not
always waited for camp meet
ings or special occasions.
Hence, having seen the last
issue of The Advocate ready for
the press, I set my face towards
Lydia, in the diocese of Rev.
Samuel J. Bethea. Of course 1
made my way direct to the
home of Dr. R. B. R. C Wal
lace, an honored and trusted
pupil and friend of my brother
at Reidville in 1871—’72, an in
timate friend in my mother's
home at Spartanburg during
his college career at Wofford,
’73—’70, my trusted friend dur-
flamo between those two friends
ing all these years, and now one
of the most eminent and suc
cessful practitioners in all his
section. There were other rea
sons besides these why I should
turn my face directly towards
the hospitable home of this
friend of so many years. She
who now presides over that
home with so much grace had
been my friend also since my
first visit to the "Gully” sixteen
years ago, when 1 found her
there a sweet little maiden just
budding into young woman
hood. A few years later the
tender tokens of a kindling
of mine received my smile, and
later still I had the pleasure of
pronouncing them man and
wife. That they both received
me so cordially a few days ago
was sufficient proof that my
work on the evening of January
1, 1883, continues to receive
their most cordial approval. At
the bride’s home, on the happy
occasion referred to, was a pret
ty little vixen of only a few
short summers, not yet out of
short dresses, nor once thinking
of "doing up” the dark locks
that flowed almost at will about
her well-poised head, but who
was as bright and vivacious a
little maiden as could be found
in a day’s journey. She was
the sister of the bride, but now
she resides—for a season at
least—w i t h my friends, the
lloctor and his wife. How long
this arrangement may continue
I cannot tell; but as very signif
icant inquiries have been made
concerning my future engage
ments, l would not be surprised
if some preacher’s professional
services are not soon in demand!
So here I have been, dear
reader, among these kindfriends,
taking a few days of much-need
ed rest and some little of the
Doctor’s powders and drops,
both of which nave been equal
ly beneficial, if not equally pal
atable.
Yesterday I had the pleasure
of preaching to a large congre
gation for Bro. Bethea at Wesley
Chanel, (the old “Gully”
Church,) one of the neatest and
most commodious church edifi
ces in all this country. We had
a pleasant and profitable ser
vice, and Bro. Bethea added
somewhat to his missionary
collections as well as to the list
of his subscribers to The Advo
cate. Bro. Bothea, his wife and
his mother are comfortably fix
ed in the parsonage, hard by
the church. The pastor is held
in high esteem by his people,
and, as usual, is doing a grand
work for God and the Church.
It was a great regret that I
could not be more with him and
his.
I have not had time or oppor
tunity to call on my many other
friends hereabouts. Some have
kindly called on me during my
stay, and others were greeted
at the church yesterday
But the buggy is at the door,
ready to take me to the station.
I leave with regret, and with
grateful recollections of the
many kindnesses I have receiv
ed during these few

Id. The
the track and found the bu
in the rear part of the fiel
horse was standing still. The
dead body of Mr. Boykin was
in the buggy with the head
resting on the sid ) of the seat.
An inquest was held by Trial
Justice Josey. Dr. J. M. Josey,
who held the aut< psy, pronoun
ced death to have been caused
i by a stroke of aj oplexy and he
also said that dei.th must have
been instantaneous. It is sup
posed that Mr. Boykin was
stricken down on the previous
evening shortly after the col
ored man passed him and that
the horse wandered aimlessly
up to Mr. Fulton’i house.
The deceased was about fifty
years old and leaves a wife and
eight children, with whom
everybody simpathizes in their
affiication. He was considered
one of the best men of the La
mar section, conscientious, up
right and reliable. The remains
were interred at NewmanSwamp
Church, of which he was a mem
ber, on Saturday, Rev. C. D.
Mann preaching he funeral ser
mon. He was rlso a member
of the Knights f Pythias and
the lodge at Lydia interred the
remains with the burial service
of the order. Several years ago
Mr. Boykin had a stroke of
apoplexy but recovered and was
apparently enjoy ng the best of
health when so suddenly taken
off.
BOLD BURGLARS
Visit Several Residences—A Sharp
Look-out Should be Kept for Them.
Burglars were at work in Dar
lington on Thursday night last.
Three residences wore robbed,
Mr. H. M. Willcox’s, Mr. If. W.
Beck’s and one ct the factory.
The burglars did not enter the
houses but reached through the |
windows and by means of a pole
with a hook on the end pulled
clothes to the outside. They
were bold for they, robbed the
bedrooms. At Mr. Willcox’s
they searched tho clothes, and,
finding nqthing, left them on
the premises. From Mr. Beck
they stole a valuable gold
watch and they also secured
several articles from the house
at the factery. This was the
last place they visited and they
left the pole there. There is no
clue as to the robbers.
It is said that the strict police|
surveillance at Marion, Sumter
and Florence has driven a lot of
tramps from those towns, and
they are now infesting these
parts. Probablj they commit
ted the burglaries mentioned
above and it would bo well for
our authorities to treat them as
our sister towns did. In the
meantime our people should
keep a sharp look out for fur
ther burglaries—the tramps
may be the guilty parties or per
haps the robbers may live in our
midst.

Two Colored Children Play with a Pis
tol and One Ki Is the Other.
On Tuesday of last week a
little colored girl,naniedFannie
Honour aged se^en years, was
killed by her hi other aged six
years. The kill ng occurred at!
their home on M r. Henry New
som’s place m ar Hartsville.
The mother had {one off to pick i
huckleberries, le iving the child-1
ren alone in the house. In giv- i
ing an account of the affair the |
boy stated that he took the pis-1
tol from a trunk, thinking that
it was his toy pirtol, and while
holding it in h s hand it ac
cidentally fired with the fatal
effect upon his sister. The bul
let entered the girl’s head just
above the eye. Coroner Parnell
held an inquest that afternoon ;
and the jury returned a verdict
in accordance with the above!
facts.
