An Earnest Appeal from the Secretary in its Behalf. All the teachers and friends of education are earnestly re quested to attend the next reg ular meeting of the County Teachers’ Association, which will be held in the 8t. John’s School building, at Darlington, on October 21, the authorities of the school having vefy kind ly offered the Association the use of a room for this purpose. All who can possibly attend will come prepared to ask and an swer questions on the following topics: 1. Arithmetic—Cancellation ; least common multiple; common fractions 2. English—properties of the noun. 3. Lecture on geography in the common schools, by Mr. Patterson Wardlaw, to be fol lowed by a discussion on the subject by those who wish to participate. (iet all the teachers of Dar liogton county give their earn* esi co-operation that they may bo thoroughly, organized and thus become better prepared to conduct the educational inter ests of our country. The time has come when our people see that they cannot afford to employ teachers who wish to use the school room as a step ping stone to some other avoca- tiort or profession. In the minds and hearts of our children lies the destiny of this country and we should not entrust the mould ing of the mind and character to persons who do not realize the great responsibility resting upon the teacher. Therefore, let us, as teachers, come togeth er, lead a helping hand in the arrangement of the programs for the Association’s meet ings, prepare ourselves well on every topic offered for discus siou, get as many thinking men and women as possible to join in ihe exercises and thus do vrfdp a system of educational work and interest inferior to none in our country. A. J. A. Perritt, Secretary. that can be learned, he seem to have his choice. In the event of his election to one or the oth er position, the remaining plum will have to be pulled by the one who has the longest pole, either Jordan or Watts.” THE BEAUFORT SUFFERERS. The Acknowledgment of the Aid Given by the Lfcdiet of Darlington. To Rev. P. D. Hay, of Beau fort, who was formerly rector of the Episcopal Church at Society Hill, was forwarded the large lot of clothing recently contributed by the ladies of Darlington for the sufferers by the ^reat storm. In acknow ledging the receipt Mr. Hay says: "There are many deserving poor, both white and colored, to whom I will first make distri bution and then turn over the balance to the general relief committee, who are at present, I believe, pretty well stocked. Do not be afraid but that the generous gift which has been sent us will be diposed of in the best way according to our judgment. “Please thank the good ladies of the relief committee for their prompt and kindly aid. It will be recorded in something better than a poor letter like this or in the columns of a newspaper—its report has gone to heaven. May God bless you all!” THE CAMDEN JUNCTION. The People Along the Line Join Dar lington in her Petition. [The State.] Chairman Duncan of the State railroad commission has received great many more petitions from people living along the line or the South Caiolina rail- wav and Atlantic Coast Line road, Encouraging the much talked of matter of interchange of freights at Camden Junction. The tobacco growers are now coming in and present to the railroad commission that there are only two tobacco ware houses in the State, one at Flo rence and the other at Darling ton, and they are entirely debar red any method of getting their productions to either by the re fusal of their roads to inter change freights, as they cannot afford to ship the products to Charleston and then back again over another road. As a result of this Col. Duncan has written to Receiver Chamberlain urging that he immediately order the interchange of freights and re lieve the situation. THE CHARLESTON COLLEGE. il.by JO or 10:30, But for the traveling public the old time of leaving New York and all points between there and Washington was extremely awkward. Nobody likes to start on a journey at midnight, and the result was, as long as the old schedule was in opera tion, that the tourists part icularly preferred to take the other train which was slower but started at. a more conven ient hour. Now, however, the schedule is not only more convenient but much faster. The passenger leaves New York at 9:30 a. m. one day and reaches Jackson ville the next at 1:15 p. m — the running time being only 27 hours and 45 minutes and the traveller being only one night on the road. This short time is due chiefly to the Atlantic Coast Line cut off and it is something that the public will appreciate thoroughly as ofen as it is called upon to travel southward. It should be borne in mind also in this connection that the railroad and steamship com panies between New York and Havana—eight in number—for merly received additional pay from the post office department for their fast mail service, this amounting to about a quarter of a million dollars annually. The same companies now give us a much faster schedule but with out any additional pay. We surelv have nothing tocomplain about in this particular. In all probability the regular schedule will be materially shortened next winter, and the vestibuled trains will undoubted ly cover the distance from New York to Jacksonville in twenty four hours—landing passengers in Jacksonville in season for breakfast and in St. Augustine for a late breakfast or for a noon luncheon.

THE TOBACCO SEASON Will Open on Thursday Next with the Usual Big “Break.” The tobacco season will begin in Darlington on Thursday next, the 28 inst., when the tobacco warehouse will open with the usual big “break.” Mr. R. A. Croxton, who has leased the warehouse, i s preparing t o make this event a great success. A large corps of buyers will locate at this place for the whole season and Mr. Croxton promises that they will at all times give the highest market prices. On the day of the big “break” a great many visiting buyers will also be present pre pared to make large purchases and to place orders on our market The opening day of the tobacco season is always an interesting occasion and doubt less the warehouse will be filled on September 28, as it was at the “break” last year, not only with sellers and buyers of the weed but also with a large number of spectators. As there will be so many buy ei s, both visiting and permanent, here on the opening day, read to buy liberally and pay high prices, it will be well for the planters to bring their finest to bacco to market on that day. This is what the warehouse people want, and they promise to pay well for it, so that the first “break” of the season may be a complete success. Farmers, remember, bring your best tobacco. POLITICAL PROGNOSTICATIONS. Who Will b« the Next Judge for Thi* Circuit? The Columbia Journal of Mon day in its prognostications on the election of Judges, which will take place at the coming session of the Legislature, has the following to say in regard to Judge Hudson’s successor: „ “The positions occupied by Judge Hudson and Judge Wal lace are considered as practical ly the property of Attorney General Townsend or Col. R. C. Watts, of Laurens, and O. C. Jordan, of Aiken. The peoole of the eastern part of the State, it is claimed, want Mr. Town send instead of Judge Hudson. They like him because he used to live there, and is regarded by them as an able man and law yer. | On the other hand, it is ‘ that be prefers to Judge Wallace at his , Union.
