allant—Brl*ht Pros-
Tha tobacco season opened in
Darlington on Thursday last
with the big “break” at the
warehouse. Everything inci
dent to the event passed off with
out a hitch and the result was
most satisfactory to everybody,
available space on the
the warehouse was cov-
I with Ikrge piles of tobacco.
The quantity of the weed offer
ed for sale exceeded the amount
at the opening last year, which
has been regarded as very large,
and in quality it was decidedly
better.
The sales were witnessed by
a number of people, who watch
ed with greatdntefest their pro-
gres". Bq^ers came from off to
attend and farmers from all the
county around were present.
To these were added a large
coneonrseef town people. The
whole presented a busy, inter
esting scene which was contin
ued until the afternoon. Every
one was fairly astonished at the
rapidity with which the auction
eer, Mr. R. A. Crute, “rattled
off” the sales and the unani
mous verdict was that he is a
“hustler” of the first order. Mr.
R. A. Croxton, the proprietor,
is a competent, energetic msn
and gives every satisfaction to
the patrons of the warehouse.
The tobacco came mainly from
Darlington and neighboring
counties, becauso most of the
tobacco in South Carolina is
planted io this section, but some
of it was shipped from quite a
distance, one lot coming from
near Columbia. Over twenty
thousand pounds were bought.
No fancy prices were paid, but
in every case the tobacco was
fully wjorth what it brought.
The figures varied, of course,
according to the grade, but the
average price was over 10 cents
per pound. Several large lots
brought, between 40 and 50 cts
per pound and a great deal sold
tor over 20 cents. The finest
lot sold for 75 a pound. This
was grown by Mr. Reaves, of
Sumter.
Since the opening day tobacco
has been coming in regularly.
A number of buyers have locat
ed here, prepared to handle
large orders, and they will make
things lively for the rest of the
season. The future of Darling
ton as w tobacco market is is-
sured. The very successful out-
come of the “break” on Thurs-
makes it so. The large quan
tity of the weed offered for sale
on that day and subsequently
shows that tobacco is no longer
a side crop with our farmers,
but is a leading and very im
portant one. Despite the fact
that this season was unfavor*
able to the planting of tobacco,
the crop is larger and better
than it ever has been. The fu
ture promises even brighter re
sults, because, as our people be
come more experienced in the
planting and the profits derived
therefrom are more readily seen,
large fields everywhere around
this section, heretofore nsed for
other purposes, will be plant
ed in tobacco. It will soon
push cotton a close race and it
will be ! a question then which
will be king.
The town of Darlington, hav
ing the geographical and rail
road advantages for the tobacco
growing section, this market
easily.takes the lead now, and,
with the' thrift and enterprise
of our people, it can just as
easily keep it forever. This is
the tobacco market for South
Carolina.
THE CAMDEN JUNCTION.
The South Carelina Railway Baft
to Maka Trantfar* of Freight.
The South Carolina Railway
refuses to make transfers of
freight at the Camden Junction
in Sumter county. The refusal
is made in response to the
petition *sent by the business
men of Darlington to the rail
road commission asking for the
transfer of freights at the junc
tion, in order that the people of
that section may ship their to
bacco to this market. Receiver
Chamberlain writes the com
mission as follows;.
“I have again considered the
subject in view of your sugges
tions that it would be for the
interest of our road to comply
with the wishes of those who
have brought the matter to your
official attention, and in view
of the various arguments pre
sented by Mr. Thomas in his
separate letter. As the matter
is now presented, it seems tome
to amount to this: The South
Carolina Railway is now asked
to make a very considerable
outlay of money to establish
facilities for a transfer of
freights generally at Camden
Junction, it being conceded that
this will result in a large loss in
revenue to the South Carolina
Railway.
“The present laws of the State
do not appear to require the
the South Carolina Railway to
do this, and the request of the
railroad commissioners, especi
ally the letter of Mr. Thomas,
is an appeal to the South Caro
lina Railway to do this for the
alleged benefit of certain ship
pers of cotton and tobacco. Up
on this statement of the case it
seems to me that it would be
entirely improper for me to ac
cede to this appeal. The South
Carolina Railway is bound to
comply with all valid existing
laws of the State, but I am ad
vised by my counsel, and I reach
the same conclusion by my own
examination of t h e statutes,
that the laws of the State do
not at present require the South
Carolina-Railway to do what is
now asked of it by the railroad
commissioners. 1 must, there
fore, respectfully decline to do
more than I agreed to do in my
letter to the railroad commis
sioners of March 23 last.”

Jones came herefrom Washing
ton last week for the purpose of
inspecting the postoffice. He
remained in Darlington Friday
and Saturday and during that
time interviewed the business
men and citizens generally in
regard to the manner in which
the affairs of the office are con
ducted. He returned to head
quarters with abundant proof
of the dissatisfaction the pres
ent incumbent is giving the
public and will recommend his
removal. The President is al
lowing Republican officehold
ers to serve until their terms
expire except in cases where
cause justifies removal. There
is no stronger reason for remov
al than incompetency and, now
that the condition of the Dar
lington postoffice will be brought
officially to the attention of the
President, the patrons of the
office may confidently expect
an early change to be made.
DEATH OF MR. COVINGTON.
A Baptist Minister of Florence Die* on
the Railroad Train.
[New* and Courier.]
Florence, September 30.—
The Rev. B. Q. Covington, for
eight years pastor of the Bap

years, on which account he re
signed the pastorate of the
Florence church about a year
ago.* The attack was caused
by his running to catch the
train. He complained of pain
when he reached the depot. Mr.
Covington was 54 years old and
had been in the ministry thirty
years. He came here from
Robeson County, N. C., ant
was a prime mover in the Bap
tist Orphanage. He leaves
