TORBETT CONCERT COMPANY. To Visit Darlington In the Interest of the Guards. Of the Torbett Concert Com pany, which is to give an enter tainment in the Darlington Guards’ Armory, for the benefit of the Guards, on Monday, Jan uary 15, 1804, the Norfolk (Va.) Landmark says: “The second entertainment of the Y. M. C. A. star course was given last night by the Torbett Concert Company before a large audience. It is but fair to say that this company is the best of the high class talent, which has composed this course, and the audience was unstinted in its applause, which in every in stance was merited. The com pany consists of Miss Ollie Tor bett, violinist; Mr. Isidore Mo- quist, pianist, and the Lutteman Sextette, and the programme rendered by them was all that could be desired from a musical standpoint. The first number was a Swedish melody, by the sextettee. In this, and in all other selections, they showed their skill. Their voices blend beautifully, being sonorous fresh and full, and they intro duced several novel vocal ac companiments which were more than pleasing. Mr. Moquist's splendid rendition of Liszt’s Grand Polonaise in E, if he did nothing else, would immediate ly place him in the front rank of great pianists. He showed himself a master of the instru ment and Moszkowsky’s Valse de Concert received such an in terpretation as to call for hearty applause. Perhaps the feature of the evening was Miss Tor- bett’s violin playing. Her first solo andante and scherzo cap- riccioso, was a fantaste of what she could do. Miss Torbett has a charming stage presence, dresses very attractively and uses no sjore. Her playing has a certain precision, a certain grace, a thorough familiarity with the technique of the instru ment as to charm her hearers by the extreme sweetness of the tones produced from her violin. She received a triple encore at each number, and when she played “Way Down Upon the Swanee River” she received no thing short of an ovation. The Torbett Concert Company made such a success last night as to insure a hearty welcome when ever they return to this city.” A CALL FOR AID. A Former Schoolmaster of Society Hill in Need of Assistance. [News and Courier.] Information has been received from England that Dr. J. R. Reid, formerly of South Caro lina, now in his 77th. year, met with a most serious accident in the immediate neighborhood of his own private residence, at 19 Fortress Road, London, N. W., England, on the20th November, 1893, which has rendered him “hors de combat.” Since his entire loss of means and deaf ness in 1882 he has been depend ent on old pupils and assistance sent to him by Bishop Whipple, Dr. Kidney, of Minnesota, and others, and it is hoped that bis old pupilsatBluffton, Yorkville, Greenville, Pineville and Society Hill will now send to their old tutor directly at his own resi dence, or through his friend, Major A. W. Marshall, Charles ton, 8. C., substantial assist ance to brighten his few remain ing years, who will forward the same to Dr. Reid. ANNUAL ELECTION. ■. , * Officer* for the Entuing Yetrforthe Knights of Pythia*. At the annual meeting of Dar lington Lodge, No 7, Knights of Pythias, which was held on Tuesday night of last week, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: A. C. Mc- Fall, C. C.; J. H. Early, V. C.j Rev. J. G. Law, P.; Geo. On slow, M. of E.; 8. Tombacher, K. of R. and 8. and M. of F.; H. Lewenthal, M. of W.; A. Hy man, M. at A.; R. K. Dargan, Trusf Mr. Blackman Claim* ha i* Named as a Witness to What he Never Saw. Editor Darlington News : My attention has been called to the statement in a recent is sue of your paper that I have been named as a witness to the alleged recent selling of whis key by Mr. Henry Appelt in the James establishment to Mr. P. T. Warr, for which Mr. Appelt has been arrested. 1 wish to state that I never saw Mr. Ap pelt sell the whiskey on the oc casion referred to. I was in James’s stor ) recently, talking to a friend about a matter of business, when Mr. Warr ap proached mi, showing me a dis pensary bottle which he said contained liquor and that he had bought it (the liquor) from I Mr. Appelt, but I never saw the transaction and cannot say whetherthe liquor-was bought in James’s establishment or not. It is not my business to play the spy and I want to have nothing to do with that kind of work. I went in Mr. James’s store to see a friend on private business. If Mr. Warr or anyone else names me as a witness a mistake has been made, which does me great injustice, and I take this method of correcting it. W. D. Blackman. [Of course the injustice which Mr. Blackman claims has been done him is not due to a mistake on the part of this paper. A warrant for Mr. Black man, us witness to the offence alleged to have been committed by Mr. Ap pelt, has been lodged in the Sheriff's office. Who named him as a witness and why he should be named as such, we are unable to state.—Editor Thk News.] KELLEY ARRESTED. The Young Man Who Killed his Com. panion Will be Tried. Our readers will remember that about the first of the pres ent month young Merton Kel ley, the son of Mr. 8. H. Kelley, killed a young man of his own age named Homer King. The affair occurred in Kelieytown at the residence of Kelley’s fath er. It was claimed that the killing was accidental and the Coroner’s jury at the time re turned a verdict to that effect. Since then, however, there has been so much talk about the killing that the authorities deemed it best that the Court investigate the matter. A war rant nfl.s, therefore, issued by the Coroner for Kelley on the charge of “murder by mishap”. The Sheriff arrested the young man last week and he immedi ately gave bond in the sum of $500 to appear for trial at the next term of Court. His bonds men are Messrs 8. Marco and A. J. Gilbert. They Have a Bonanza. It seems the owners of Dr. Drummond’s Lightning Remedy for Rheumatism have a Bonanza as their remedy has never known to fail in a single case. There is certainly room in the market for a medicine that will do what they claim for this won derful preparation. Although the price is $5 per bottle if it does one half claimed for it the price should be $100. If the druggist has not got it, the rem edy will be sent to any address by prepaid express on receipt of price. Drummond Medicine Co., 48 50 Maiden Lane, New York.

The Darlington Tobacco Ware house was closed for the Christ mas holidays on Wednesday of last week, the 20 inst,, and will be reopened on January 3. All of the employees of the estab lishment have gone to their re spective homes to spend Christ mas. Since the opening of the season in October the warehouse has purchased about four hun dred thousand pounds of tobac co. The average price was 10 cents a pound, so tnat, within that time, about $40,000 has been paid out at this point for the weed. When the warehouse is reopened on January 3, every thing will be in readiness to continue the purchases until the season closes.
