Mr. Stout. That the cutting of freight rates which is now taking place among the railroads is a good thing for their customers is ev idenced by the fact that on a recent shipment of five car loads of stuff made by the Dar lington Manufacturing Compa ny $300 was saved on account of it. E.

He asks particularly that his thanks be extended to the fire company, for, as he says, they did good work, and he thinks that a word of appreciation might serve to encourage them. We comply with Mr. Dickson’s re quest with pleasure. The fire company have to work without water so often that they cer tainly need all the encourage ment they can get. Murder on the Pee Dee. The killing, on last Sunday night, of the depot agent at Mandeville, the first station on theC.S. &N. road after cross ing to the Marlboro side, was al most unprecedented in its bar barity. The doors of the depot were found broken in the next morning, though nothing was missing but the watch of the murdered man. A colored man was arrested at Gibson Station, N. C.,whowas buying cartri dges because, as he says, the jSheriff was after him. It is thought that he may have had some connection with the crime. Mr. Alderman, the murdered man, was a native of North Caro lina. He was about 30 years old, and was to have been married next month. Eastern B. & L. Association. At the annual meeting of the Darlington Branch of the East ern Building and Loan Associa tion held last Thursday evening, the following directors were elected for the ensuing year: E. K. Dargan, C.

Frank Wdson, of Sumter, Grand Vice Chancellor of Order in this State, and H. the the ex the is officio Deputy in charge of District in which Darlington situated. After a regular meet ing of the lodge, at which the ranks were conferred upon sev eral candidates, the members of the Order present sat down to a handsome supper given in hou or of the District Deputy. The whole occasion was a success ful one throughout, which was due, in great measure, to the efforts of the efficient commit tee appointed to take charge of it, consistingof Knights S. Tom- bacher, J. C. Willcox and B. F. Taylor. The Spartanburg Encampment The Darlington Guards leave for Spartanburg, to attend the National Encampment and en- terthecompetitivedrill.on Mon day July 2, by the Atlantic Coast Line train which passes here at 0.25 A. M. They will reach Spartanburg that after noon. The drill will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday. Citizens round trip tickets will cost $».

Baird & Smoot. «ue validity _ orth of bonds is- y the Town of Darling ton some years ago to further the completion of the C. 8. & N. road through this place will be argued in the United States Court in Charleston this week. The Town claims that those who constructed the road failed to comply with their contract in material particulars, and re fuses, for that reason, to pay the interest on the bonds, which is now being sued for, as above stated. The action is brought by the Atlantic Trust Co., the holders of the bonds. The Town is represented by E. O. Woods, Esq., its regular attorney. Mes srs. C. 8. McCullough, C. B. Edwards, C. W. Hewitt, 8. A. Woods and J. C. Willcox have been summoned to Charleston as witnesses in thecas**. They all went down last night. He Deserves Credit. Mr. Frierson James, a son of Mr. J. G. Janies, who farms on Dr. A. C. Spain’s place, about seven miles from Darlington, is spending his vacation of a week or two with his family and friends. Mr. James was ap- inted a cadet at the United tates Naval Academy at An napolis four years ago by Mr. G. W. Dargan, (who then rep resented this District in Cong* ress), and graduated with con siderable distinction from that institution a .ew weeks ago. He has been appointed an as sistant engineer on the new war vessel “Montgomery” just be ing completed at the Norfolk Navy Yard, and has to report there for duty on the 25th inst. Mr. James certainly deserves credit for tne success which has attended his career so far. The people of Darlington County feel proud of him, and expect great things from him in the fu ture. Another Change of Schedule. By a recent change in the schedule of the North Eastern road, the freight train which passes here at 0.25 A. M. does not connect at Florence with any train for Charleston. Pas sengers for Charleston have to leave here either at 4.30 or 0.05 P. M., Florence at 7..45 and 3.10 A. M , arriving at Charleston at 11.18P. M , and 0.10 A. M., re spectively. The schedule from Charleston is as follows: leave Charleston 3.35 A. M., arrive at Darlington 8.15 A. M. It gets worse and worse. A trip from here to New York and return is but child’s play compared with one to Charleston. The sched ule on the Atlantic Coast Line is now the worst we have had for fifteen years; but we are powerless to help ourselves, so there is no use to complain. The new schedule makes no change in connections with Columbia and Wilmington. Burned to The Ground. The residence of Mr. E. J. Lide, on Pearl Street, owned and occupied until recently by Mr. C. W. Hewitt, was destroy ed about two oclock P. M. on Friday last bjr a fire caused from a defective flue in the kitchen which was adjoined the building. The fire company and the hook and ladder com pany were both promptly on the ground, and worked like “beavers,” but to no purpose There was no water to be had, and the building was quickly consumed. The neighborhood is thickly settled, and it was with the greatest difficulty that some of the adjoining houses were saved. The residence of Mr. W. G. Dickson was partic ularly in danger, and had very narrow escape. The good work of the hook and ladder company was all that saved it MostofIMr. Lide’s furniture was rescued. His loss was fully covered by insurance. A Youthful Outlaw. Wesley Rush, a negro boy a- bout twelve years of age, who bears a very unsavory reputa tion in the community in which he lives, and who was sent to jail recently by the Trial Jus tice at Lamar to serve out a thirty-day sentence, made a most daring and well-niph suc cessful effort to break fail on Saturday last. He was the sole prisoner in the building at the time, and had been turned loose from the cell into the corridor. The youthful outlaw demolished a chair, and with a portion of it which he succeeded in sharp ening in some way, he dug into the plastering and removed sufficient number of the bricks to make an opening almost large enough for him to pass through,there being but one thickness of bricks between himself and the sweet liberty for which he was striving so zealously, when a deputy walk ed in and put a summary end to his operations. In ten minutes more the bird would have flown. Wesley has lost the best chance he will ever have for making his escape, as Sheriff Scarbo rough is uu to his tricks now, and has taken such steps as will put an effectual check on his lawless proclivities. Exhibition Drill. On Friday evening, June 29, at 6.30 o’clock, sharp, the Dar lington Guards will give an ex hibition Drill at the base ball park. A general admission fee of 25 cents will be charged for grown persons and 10 cents for children; there will be no extra charge for seats on the grand stand. The proceeds will be de voted to defraying the expenses of the Company to Spartanburg. In addition to the exhibition drill, the members will enter into an individual contest, at the same time and place, in the manual of arms, the men being dropped out of ranks one at a time as they make individual errors on the “fine points”. This will be the sixteenth and last of these drills, which the company has been having dur ing the several weeks past. At its conclusion the merit roll for the entire sixteen drills will be made up, and to the individual showing the highest general average will be presented a gold medal offered by the Captain as a special prize. It is expected, too, that the-annual inspection of the Company will take place at the ball grounds at the con clusion of the drill, so that, tak en altogether, Friday, June 29, is to be an eventful day in mili tary circles here. Death of the Rev. John Stout. The sad news of the death of the Rev. John Stout, which oc curred at Dallas, Texas, was re ceived here on Sunday last. The remains, accompanied by Mrs. Stoutand Mr. J. L. Coker, Jr., ar rived here last (Wednesday) evening at 8.05 o’clock, and were met at the depot by a large number of the friends of thede- caesed. The Darlington Guards were present in a body, in citi zens’ dress, Mr Stout having been a Contributing Member and a staunch friend of that or ganization.

John Stout was about 61 years old. He was a native of Alabama, and served through the war with one of the regiments from that State entering as a private, but end ing as its adjutant. He was a gallant soldier, and bore the marks of four severe wounds upon his person. Mr. Stout mar ried Miss Fanny Coker, a sister of Maj. J. L. Coker. He was called to the Darlington Baptist Church two years ago last April. Previous to that, he had charge of the church at Society Hill for seventeen years. He has been for several years a member of the Board of Trustees of Furman University. Mr. Stout was one of the most prominent and uni versally beloved ministers in the State. His death is certain ly a heavy loss to this commun ity. Mr. Tindal Consents. Edit jr the Manning Times: had abandoned all expectation of being a candidate this year for any office, as I mistrusted my health and thought the Re formers wanted a different poli cy from that which I had ex pressed. But I cannot disre gard the wish so kindly and cordially expressed by my old Reform friends of Clarendon County, backed up as it is by so many people in the State at large. . I profoundly appreciate this highest evidence of their confidence, and will stand as a camlidate for Governor upon the Retorm principles which I have advocated for el J. E. THE comr HEWS.

The crops in this section are suffering very much for want of rain. A good rain fell ii the Copeland section on Sunday night last, but missed us. Crops are very clean and day; laborers are hard up for employment. The campaign has opened, but our people seem to have little interest at present in political affairs. It is a great pity that we cannot unite the two factions on some good men, who will give satisfaction to all classes, an i labor for the good of all our people. This will never be, however, until we do away with that class of politicians who seek office from selfish motives CYPRESS. Dr. H. Gee spent Saturday and Sunday at this place. Mr. J. L.

Sansbury comes nearest competing with the best your writer has seen in a variety of corn, cotton, &c. Olher farms around Jasper looked well up to a few days ago, but are now thirsting for rain. Farmers are very gloomy over the present outlook: rain will cheer us up to a more pleasant state of feeling, especially if the two political factions can come up as one man and com- E romise on something that will ring peace and prosperity, in stead of showing a disposition to draw the last drop of blood from each others’ hearts. riveroale!

Miss Louise Parrott has re turned from Belmont School, N. C., to spend her vacation at home. / The thing most needed with us now is rain. We see some indications of one and feel hope ful accordingly. Some of our young men who were on the jury seemed some what disappointed last week that so many cases were con tinued and they had to return home prematurely. The school at this place clos ed on the 8th. inst., having been extended two months af ter the free term was out. Prof J. L. Mann, of Union Acade my, delivered an address on education on the closing day, and those w-ho heard it esteem itan ablediscourse. Our efficient teacher, Mr. L. M. Lawson, has given entire satisfaction, and our people would be glad to se cure his services for another term, but he is expecting to take higher courses, and will likely be away. GREEN PLAINS. Mr. E. W. Boswell was called to Maxton, N. C., last week by the illness of his son who is re siding there. The call for aid for the suf ferers on the coast is meeting with a liberal response from here, and considerable effort is being put forth in collectingand forwarding anything that may be of service to the sufferers. Our gardens and the corn crop are beginning to show the effects of the continued dry weather. The planting of peas has been discontinued, owing to the drought.

A Pastoral Romance. (Darlington Cor. The News Courier.] Last Friday .afternoon a trav el stained and dusty citizen made his appearance here and and lost no time in hunting up the nearest trial justice.' The young man’s name was Smith, and he was so much in love that he had walked 15 miles to get some one to unite him to the object of his affections in the holy bonds of wedlock. Mr. Smith explained that the trial justice would have to tramp back with him in order to per form the ceremony, whereupon the hard-hearted justice who it need not be said was a bache lor, declined to take this little walk. Mr. Smith argued the matter with all the fervor he could summon, remarking among other things, that the young lady in the case had told him that she would marry a ri val next day unless he returned that evening. Even this did not move the stony bachelor heart of the one man needful for the occasion. In the mean time quite a crowd had collected and some tender hearted individuals made up a purse and secured a horse and buggy for Mr. Smith and sent him to bring the lady to the justice. All preparations were made for the wedding and the crowd waited until a late hour. Smith finally put in an ap peal ance, but no girl was to be seen. The old folks did not view the thing in the same light as Smith did and succeed ed in impressing this fact upon him, so the wedding was post pone 1 and Smith was unhappy. When the War Began. [Boston Sacred Heart Review ] Johnny, who had been much interested in American history, thought he would test grandpa’s historical knowledge, so, as the old gentleman sat reading his paper, Johnny began: “Grandpa, do you kqow what great war broke out in 1813?” The old man slowly raised his eyes and looked at Johnny over his spectacles. “Why,” said he, “that was the year I married your grand mother.” Murder At Mandeville. [The New* and Courier.] Sumter, June 18.—Special: Information was received this morning at the office of the gen eral manager of the Charleston Sumter and Northern Railroad that J. P. Alderman, depot agent and telegraph operator at Mandeville, had been brutally murdered at that place last night. Mr. C- L. Martin, J. N. Brand and Alva Smith took the train for the scene of the mur der. It is from them we learn the following part culars: Mr. Alderman had three young men friends from Bennettsville, to spend yesterday with him. Two of them remained until about 8 o’clock and the third stayed un til 10 o’clock. At that hour Mr. Alderman was attired in a neat suit of clothes, and that is the last positive information they have of his movements. This morning, when his body was found, he had on his working clothes and was lying face downward on the ground with the back of his skull horribly crushed. The supposition is that Mr. Alderman was called from his bed by someone, sometime du ring the night, and as soon as he came out of his apartment the villain dealt him a blow. This, however, did not kill him, for the indications are that he endeavored to run to a house some distance away to procure help, that the murderer follow, ed him and succeeded in felling him to the ground, where he died. Mr. Alderman’s charac ter was good, his reputation that of an honest, industrious man, and there can be no other cause assigned for the murder save robbery. The watch of Mr. Alderman was missing, as was also a small purse which he usually carried, but a book in his inside vest pocket contain ing seventeen dollars was not taken. The depot office showed evidence of having been tamper ed with, but nothing was miss ing. His accounts with tne railroad were found to be per fectly correct. The remains of the murdered man passed through this city this afternoon. They are being taken to his home at Dunn, N. U. A. G. F. Slain by Payton G. Bowman. [Special to The State.] Birmingham, Ala., June,12— Payton G. Bowman, leader of Kolb’s Populist campaign in Alabama and a prominent law yer of this city, occupies a cell in the city jail tonight charged with the murder of Eugene Jef fries, the 17-year old son of ex- May or Jeffries. The tragedy occured at 10 o’clock tonight in the saloon of the Florence Hotel. Late this afternoon Bowman, who is a great bulldozer ami bluffer, was drinking with some friends in the saloon, when ex-Mayor Jeffries, who is an old and inoffensive man, en tered. Bowman was talking in a loud tone of voice and, it is said, made an insulting remark to Col. Jeffries, who replied by saying that Bowman had a Con federate deserter for a law part ner. The lie was passed, when Bowman struck Col. Jeffries on the head, knocking him down. Friends separated them when Col. Jeffries went his way. Eu gene Jeffries, son of Col, Jeff ries, a mere stripling, weighing not over 100 pounds, hearing of the difficulty started out to find Bowman, intending to have him apologize, so it is stated. Bowman was still in the saloon drinking when the boy started to enter through the folding doors. The minute the boy put his head inside, Bowman snatched out a pistol and shot the boy through the neck, kill ing him instantly. Bowman was* arrested and hurried off to the city jail. Within a few minutes a great crowd had assembled at the scene and threats of lynching were freely made. Indignation is at fever heat, but it is not thought that an attack will be made upon the jail tonight. An eye witness to the shooting says it was foul murder, and the peo ple seem to be of one accora in that opinion. Bowman claims that the boy was armed but the statement is contradicted. One story is to the effect that John Bowman, brother of the slayer, held the boy while Bowman shot him, and they assert also that the pistol it will be claim- the boy had was one now in the hands of John Bowman. Bowman has always been re garded as a dangerous man. The effects of the tragedy on the Kolb campaign willbemost disastrous,as Bowman is Kolb’s right hani man. Down to the present century a part of the marriage ceremony in Hungary consisted in the groom giving the bride a kick to remind her of her subjection.
