A Poetic and Romantic Correspondent's Tale of a Trip. Editor Darlington News: - Worn and fatigued with the dusty, smoky city and longing for the fragrant hay-scented breezes and the cheerful, friend ly face of nature, and for the sight of sylvan bowers, your correspondent—a mettlesome, chestnut colored steed, between the shafts of an easy gliding buggy, being the means of loco motion—spun rapidly eastward, now slowly down a red hill, then across noiiy, dimpling streams, spanned by frail masonry: now slowly toiling through heavy sand where the highway, like a huge yellow ribbon stretched along: on, still on, till the red sunset faded and the katy-did sang its accompaniment to the evening stars, through the gathering gloom wherever the umbrageous shadows of glen and thicket yielded to the open plain. Champaign country stretched away on either side; waving fields of corn, like vast armies with green banners, were on every hand. Next morning, comfortably ensconced in Mr. Thor Ross’s hospitable mansion, with our feet under his mahogony, be tween the walnuts and the wine we discussed agricultural sub jects pro and con. Mr. Ross, though an Irishman, disproves thepopular belief that the sons of Erin cannot make successful farmers. He showed me a green field of growing cotton where, to my untutored eyes, each stalk seemed studded with swelling bolls thick as leaves in the Val ley of Vallombrosa. I was now in the land of the Qandys, those sturdy sons of toil, to w h o m farming as a science has descended as a gold en heritage from sire to son. With energy, skill and judg- ment they till the soil and na ture, responding to such treat ment pours forth her fruits with readiness and abundance. Mr. J. I. Gandy led me through a field of green corn on his place that a man riding through it on horseback would be completely hid from view. One of the stalks from that field measured from base to tassel fifteen feet and nine inches He also show ed me a fine field of cotton where .the clustering bolls crowded together like grains of corn on a cob. Your correspondent met in his rambles two charmingyoung ladies, Misses Lucy Gandy and Nellie Ross and in their bright presence and sunny smiles he was beguiled of his weariness while the rosy hours sped swift ly away.

Rogers’s place, about three miles from town, a color ed boy named Philip Richard son while taking a mule to grace was very seriously injur ed. The mule was only halter ed and, being spirited, threw the boy from its back. In fall ing one of Richardson’s feet was entangled in the halter- strap and the animal becoming frightened dashed away drag- K the unfortunate boy with Finally, after running about two hundred yards the strap broke and Richardson’s apparantiy lifeless body was left in the road. Upon the ar« rival of assistance, however, it was found that Richardson was not dead but that his head and body had been fearfully mash ed and bruised by coming in contact with several obstacles in the road and being trampled on by the mule’s hoofs. Rich ardson’s injuries are considered to be very serious, but at last accounts he was doing as well as could be expected. WANTED, ABLEBODIED MEN. A Chasce for Whit* Men of Good Character to be Enlieted. Corporal Murphy, of the Uni ted States Army, is in Darling ton for the purpose of enlisting ALWAYS READY FOR DUTY. The Darlington Guard* Quickly Re spond to an Unexpected Summon*. Darlington has a military company of which any city might truly be proud. Or Mon day morning a summons from the captain of the Darlington Guards was sent to the members of the company to appear at the Armory and in ten minutes there were twenty men present putting on their uniforms. They did not know for what object they had been called together. The report that the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston would pass through Darlington, over the C., 8. & N. railroad, en route to Fayetteville, where they have been invited to join the Fayetteville company in an anniversary reunion, had been spread in town and the Guards desired to meet the gallant W. L. I.’s at the depot. After all arrangements had heen made to give them a warm reception and a “cold snack” a telegram was received stating that the Charleston company had not yet left the “City by the Sea” by the C., 8. & N. and in conse quence would not pass through Darlington. The promptness with which “our boys” responded to the call shows how ready they al ways are to “do duty” and should receive the highest com mendation of t h e citizens of Darlington.

Evan*. The Cleveland Hotel, as an nounced some time ago, will be opened on August 30 next un der the management of Major and Mrs. W. A. Evans, of Ches terfield county. The house has been thoroughly renovated and will be in readiness for guests at the time stated. The follow ing is clipped from the Chester field Advertiser: “Major W. A. Evans and family passed through our town last Tuesday on their wav to Darlington to take charge of the Cleveland Hotel. There is no lady of our acquaintance better fitted for this business than Mrs. Evans, and anyone who has ever been a guest at her country home will bear testimony to this fact. Major Evans is one of our best and most popular citizens, and it is with reluctance we give up such men. We bespeak for them from the good people of their new home that kind consideration to which they are justly entitled, and a liberal share of public patronage.” Extra quality Coggeshall & Co. toilet soap.

Some weeks ago a local politician de livered a speech of nearly two hoars at a county meeting, and, on retuhiing home, the boy was able to tell the discourse over with such accuracy that the fol lowing day the man who deliv ered it went to see him to take copy of it from his mouth, having lost the manuscript on which it was written. This gift seems unaccompanied by any unusual degree of intelligence, the boy being only a day laborer in the fields, and he appears not to take in the sense or what the camera of his mind preserves, but to repeat it after the manner of a parrot. His mother says that he has possessed this faculty since a baby, and at the extraordinary age of a year he could repeat any conversation that toofc place in his presence, irrespective of its length and purpose. in the presence of reliable witnesses he, a few days ago. gave, word for word, the text and discourse of a sermon he heard over two years ago in Richmond, the preacher oeing present and amazed at the cor rectness of the boy’s memory and the readiness with which he repeated every gesture he made throughout the delivery of the sermon, even pausing to cough at certain points where, on the original occasion, a bad throat affection of the clergyman had forced him to do so. “Any Port in a Storm."
