It was the largest exposition the world has ever seen and was visited by 27,412,728 people, who came from every quarter of the globe, Within the enclosure have been gathered men of every tongue, clime and religion, who beheld with wonder and admiration the magnificent exhibits made by all countries. One could see there exhibits from the ice bound regions of Labrador and the tropical countries of Africa and at the same time behold the wonderful displays made by the great civilized nations. It was an immenoe picture of the world, showing the remarkable prog ress of the human race. It was necessary to see the Fair in order to appreciate its magnificence. To hear its won ders told and to see its splendors pictured would only give a faint conception of the grandeur it contained. We do not believe that such another exposition will be given in our time and fortunate were those who were able to witness it. At the close of the Fair a large balance was left in the treasury and the United States are to be congratulated upon so successful an issue. The Fair was a tremendous undertaking that only a great country could carry out. For the last six months all eyes of the universe have been turned towards Chi cago and the whole world now knows that our people can ac complish any and everything when they try. A CAPITAL SELECTION. In the appointment of J. E. Nettles, Esq., of this place, Con sul for the United States at Trieste, Austria, President Cleveland has made a particu larly happy selection. Mr. Net tles is a most competent, safe and conservative man and will discharge the duties of his new office to the satisfaction of his country. Darlington, where Mr. Nettles was born and rear ed and has lived all his life, is very much pleased at the ap pointment. He has been a use ful citizen to the community and his merit is well known here. The town has been hon ored by the President’s recog nition of Mr. Nettles’s fitness to represent the great United States at so important a place. We shall regret his four years absence in a foreign country. Our people will miss him. In the councils of the town, in the legislative halls of his State, and, in fact, wherever the in terests of his people required his services he has shown him self to be a most valuable man and conscientious worker. Now that he is to leave us for a far-, away home, we bid him God speed! STATE NEWS. Gathered from Our Exchanges and Put in Paragraphs. A train was thrown off the track by striking a cow, near Ridgeville, on Sunday, and the engineer and brakeman were killed. Tax returns for the present fiscal year show an increase in the assessed value of property in this State of about tour mil lion dollars. A train was wrecked by some miscreants at Salem, in Flor ence county, on Thursday night. The engine was damaged and several persons were injured, but not seriously. The Commissioner of Patents will appeal from the order of Justice Bradley, requiring him to grant a copyright to South Carolina for tne “Palmetto” label used in the sale of dispen sary liquors. n The railroad and phosphate companies are not doing a pros- nfrous business just now; in fact, they seem to be losing money. Under these circum stances it would be well for the Slate authorities to show them more mercy than they have detoe for several years past. INCIPIENT FIRES. Darlington Threatened With What Might Have Been Big Blazes. between seven and eight o’clock yesterday morning the sounding of the town bell brought a largo crowd to the Square, where it was found that the handsome brick block of Mr. C. W. Hewitt, in which the of fice of The Darlington News is situated, was on fire. The flames had started between the ceiling and the roof and as they were difficult to reach it was sometime before they were ex tinguished. In getting at the fire the roof was considerably damaged, but no other injury resulted. The fire originated from a defective flue in the tail or shop of J A. Pugh. While this fire was in progress the Cleveland Hotel was threat ened with a conflagration of its own. This was caused by a flue having been stopped up, but fortunately it was discov ered before any damage what ever was done. Wedding presents at C. & Co. Good Flour $4 50 at Black- well Bros. A REPORTED KILLING. Stephen Lane and hit Two Sons Cut J. I. Scaffe at Cartersville. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Stephen Lane and his sons, Stewart and Len, for cutting J. I. Scaffe. The affair occurred on Monday at Cartersville, Florence county, the home of the parties, all of whom are white and well known in this county. It is the result of an old feud. Within the past few years Stephen Lane and Scaffe have been engaged in several shooting and cutting scranes with each other. Yesterday afternoon it was reported on t h e streets that Scaffe had died from his injur ies, but we were unable to get a verification of the rumor. Big reduction in domestic pickles.

Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, was murdered at his residence on Saturday by a man named Prendergart, who, it is supposed, is insane. Harrison was five times Mayor of Chica go and was also an ex-member of Chicago. The oldest postmaster in the United States died at Gauley, W. Va., last week. He was eighty-eight years old and was appointed postmaster in 1832 by President Andrew Jackson. He held the position continuously until his death. The United States Senate on Monday passed, by a vote of 43 to 32, the bill to repeal the pur chasing clause of the Sherman Act. The result is in accord ance with the statement made last week that the free silver Senators had given up the fight. Big drive in overcoats Black- well Bros. Fresh fruits and nuts. C. & Co. Education That la Not Practical. The folly of mechanical juggling with figures is shown by the following recent experience of a school official. In a school of 87 pupils of mixed grades the follow ing question was asked: "It is now 10 minutes after 10. What time was U five minutes ago?” Nineteen out of tne 87 pupils failed to give a correct answer. A similar line of humiliating failures oc curred when questions equally simple were asked. The trouble was not that the children could not substract, but that they could make no practical use of what they had learned. They could use figures with more or less facility when told exactly how to arrange them. When certain ‘•sums" were set, a fair showing was made. Bu‘ the fact that'the end of doing such me chanical work should be to master the application of a principle to the practical everyday affairs of life was far beyond their comprehensions.—BostonTra veller.

Only so you can be comfortable and pay every little bill as quick as it comes in, you don’t care what the world thinks.— New York Weekly. A Maa at a Kmtlnf of Sorosta. Once a man attended a Sorosis meet ing. A few years ago a distinguished fe male singer from the operatic stage was invited to sing by Sorosis. She came late and hurried into Delfnonico’s ballroom, where Sorosis was then wont to meet, followed by a little, nervous, wiry Ital ian. The hundred odd ladies simply glared and sat speechless. Mrs. Lozier, who was then president, hurried down from the presiding chair and had a hur ried whispering conversation with the opera singer, while the little Italian stood in the aisle suffering mental agonies from the concentrated glare of 200 femi nine eyes. Then the opera singer was overheard to say: "Why, madam, he is my accompanist, and I cannet sing without him. If he goes, then I must go.” The president returned to her chair, the singer seated herself, and the social gathering resolved itself into a business body—the poor, nervous pianist stand ing still in the aisle like a criminal be fore the bar of justice. The matter was freely discussed, and finally it was re solved to make an exception and allow the Italian to remain and play.- Fortu nately for the Italian, he understood very little English, and after standing quizzic ally through the debate he boldly walked up to the singer and asked what it all meant. She explained, and then the Italian's blood boiled. “I nevair hear of such a zing," he said vehemently. "Adieu, madamet” He was persuaded to remain and play, but when he had finished he bolted, and every footstep rang out indignation and defiance.—New York Times. Some Brilliant Sword Strokes. Elephants are completely disabled by one blow from the Arab's two handed sword, which almost severs the huge hind leg, biting deep into the bone. This feat is varied by slashing off the trunk, leaving it dangling only by a piece of skin. A ghoorka has been seen by the late Laurence Oliphant to behead a buf falo with a single blow of his cookrie. And Sir Samuel Baker, • man powerful enough to wield during 'his African ez ploration the “baby,” an elephant rifle weighing 22 pounds, once clove a wild bear with his big hunting knife almost in halves as it was making a final rush catching it just behind the shoulder where the hide and bristles are at least a span thick. Sir Walter Scott relates how the Earl of Angus, with his huge sweeping brand, challenged an opponent to fight and at a blow chopped asnudei his thighbone, killing him on the spot There is a story current in Australia that a Lieutenant Anderson in 1852. during an encounter with bushrangers, cut clean through the gun barrel of his adversary with his sword. And at Kas- sassin it is related that one of Arabi Pasha’s soldiers was severed in two dur ing the midnight charge. But in the opinion of experts this is very improba ble, even had the new regulation saber then been in nse.—London Globa German and English Wearer*. Mr. D. F. Schloss gives the following instructive contrast between English and German weavers: The well fed English weaver can without difficulty look after four looms and can with the aid of a jn venile assistant ("tenter”) manage as many as six. But, as Dr. von Schulze Gaevernitz tells us, notwithstanding that the continental manufacturers run their looms from 20 to 80 per cent slower than ours are worked, in Mulhouse and in Switzerland each weaver can only tend three, and in Germany you will seldom see a weaver able to tend more than two looms. The effect of the superiority of the English operatives upon the cost of production is shown by the fact that, al though the rate of remuneration of our English weavers is about 100 per cent higher than that received by the Swiss and German “hands,” yet we are able to turn out cotton cloth at a labor cost dis tinctly lower than that which obtains in Switzerland and Germany.—London Let ter. Ladies who use cosmetics or E owders to cover up or hide a ad complexion, do not ^now that Dr. J. A. Boyd can furnish them with Blush of Roses, which is clear as water, purifies the skin, and positively removes blackheads and all skin dis eases, take the shiny look from the face and whitens it soon as applied. . » •— -wffia “Mrs. Smith’s daughter is singing her new song now.” “I can’t hear a sound, and I don’t believe you can, with the house two blocks away.” “I didn’t say I could, but I see the company all leaving.— Chicago Inter Ocean. ■OR DYSPEPSIA, Indffsstloo. and Stomach dlaordsfs. taka BROWN’S IRON BITTKRS.
