It is Said That Most of the Citizens Oppose th: Sale of Liquor. We stated in our last issue that Rev. J. 8. DuBose, a repre sentative from this county, had introduced a bill in the Legisla ture to repeal the clause in the charter of Lamar forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquors with in the incorporate limits of the town. The object of the bill is to make the way open for the establishment of a dispensary at that place. But it does not seem that the people ot Lamar are by any means unanimous in the desire to have a dispensary. In fact, from information given us by a prominent citizen of the town it would appear that the majority of the people are opposed, not to the dispensary system itself, but to having liquor sold in any manner at Lamar. A meeting of the people of the town and vicinity who were opposed to the contemplated change in the charter was held recently at La mar and an earnest nwotest was entered against it. This protest has about one hundred and six ty signers, a number of whom are ladies. Rev. 0. D. Mann carried the protest to Columbia and laid it before our delegation. It is thought that the prompt action on the part of those op posed to the sale of liquor will prevent the passage of Mr “Du- Bose’s bill. Our informant fur ther states that the petition, upon which Mr. Du (lose acted in introducing the bill, contain* ed less than twenty signatures.

Th« Young People of Darlington Have a Very Pleasant Event in Prospect. The Darlington Guards are in vited to visit the city of Sumter on Thursday, the 21st Inst, as the special guests of the Sumter Light Infantry, the occasion be ing a military fair, a grand ball and other attendant attractions. The railroad fare for the round trip has been placed at fl.60, but an effort is being made to have it reduced even lower, which effort there is every rea son to believe will meet with success before the day of the excursion arrives. While, of course, these rates will be open generally to any of the public who may desire to go on the trip, a special invitation to take part in it is extended to the la dies of Darlington, and to the honorary and contributing members of the Darlington Guards. Any guests of these three classes who may desire to attend the ball will find formal printed invitations awaiting them on board the train, which will be delivered to them before they reach Sumter. The party will travel by the regular trains on the C. S. Sc N. road, leaving here Thursday afternoon and returning Friday morning. Three of the very best papers of their kind in the country, the Weekly News aid Courier and the Southern Cultivator, and Thb Darukoton New* will all be sent to any address for one year tor $2.46. 4t A PLEASANT RECEPTION. A Newly Married Couple Honored In Dariington, Mr. and Mrs. H. Beck gave a very delightful reception at their residence on Cashua Street, on Wednesday evening of last week, in compliment to their f nests, Mr. and Mrs. W. R lowie, of Columbia, who were recently married. Mr. Howie is the brother of Mrs. Beck. The evening was most pleasant ly spent by the friends who were present. An elegant sup per was served. The following aro the names of those who were present: Dr. and Mrs J C Willcox, MrandMrs Walter J. Parrott, Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Gandy, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Willcox, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Mozingo, Mrs. B.

An Alarm of Fire Awakens the People to a Small Conflagration. About 2.30 o’clock Tuesday morning the quiet sleep ot the town was disturbed by a fire. The residence on the corner of Russell Street and Ward’s Lane, owned by Mrs. 8. L. Pearce, was the victim of the flames. It was totally destroyed. The res idence was new, having only been erected last summer. It was insured for $000, which will cover the loss. Mr. J. D. Jove was occupying the house and he lost a great deal of his furniture, but the insurance on the same will make good his loss. The residence of Mr. A. Nachman was in close proximity to the one destroyed and it caught fire in several places. Only the good work done by the fire com pany and the citizens generally saved this building. The fire originated from a defective flue in the kitchen. Always Gat tha Bast. Persons who suffer from rheu matism want immediate relief.

Tho Circus is Coming. J. H. Sparks’s Circus showed on Layton’s lot here last Mon day afternoon. The trapeze performances were excellent and very fine shooting was done by the Bartlett family. Noth ing could have been better than the way the trained horses and dogs went through their parts, the animals shewing an intel ligence that seemed almost hu man. Prof. Van Vrankew was given a horse to tame that was owned by one of our citizens and was so stubborn that he had never been able to drive him either in harness or under the saddle. In a short time he had him under complete con trol and since then his owner had him hitched up and has driven him without trouble. There were no “fakes” accom panying the show and it was equally as good as those for which we have been used to paying double the price.— Georgetown (Del) Democrat.
