•■THROUGH SYLVAN BOWERS."
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. X.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Colored Boy Badly Hurt by a Run
away Mule on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon on Mr.
R. H. 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.

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.

THE NEW HOTEL.
Kind Word* About Major and Mr*. W.
A. 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.”

Mr. E. W. Bosswell, the post
master at Green Plain, in this
county, informs us that thepeo-
ple in and around Bethlehem
are endeavoring to have a post-
office established at the latter
place. This will be more con
venient to the people of Bethle

their mail at Green Plain. Mr.
Bosswell also aays that proba
bly the department may be in
duced to have two mails a week

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

lowing day the man who deliv
ered it went to see him to take

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.

repeated every gesture he made
throughout the delivery of the

at certain points where, on the

affection of the clergyman had
forced him to do so.
“Any Port in a Storm."
That’s a good maxim, but it
will not work as a rule in the
purchase of a remedy for Rheu
matism. Any of the cheap nos
trums will not effect a cure—in
fact, none of them. Don’t trifle
with life and prolong agony.
Get Dr. Drummond’s Lightning
Remedy, and a speedy cure is
certain. It costs $5 a bottle,
but one bottle is worth a hun-

that reason it is the cheapest
