Dargan delivered an educational address at Ash land on Saturday. Messrs. E. K. Cox, Eugene Vaughn and L. M. Norment have returned home. Mr. Thomas H. Rogers has returned from a visit to the.up- country and “elsewhere.” Mr. B. A. Early, accompanied by his family, is spending a week on Sullivan’s Island. Mr. R. K. Dargan has a posi tion in the up town office of the Darlington Phosphate Works. Dr. W. U. McGirt has gone to Sullivan’s Island with his little child, which has been sick for some time. Mr. John W. McCullough, a prominent citizen of Greenville county, is on a visit to relatives in Darlington. Mr. Keith Charles, formerly of Darlington, but now in business at Rock Hill, is on a visit to his friends at this place. Mr. H. Lewenthal has reopen ed the grocery store which he ran last winter at the corner of Pearl Street and the Public Square. Mr. P. B. Allen and Mr. Rob ert E. James have consolidated their interests in the brokerage business and are now working together. Mr. Lawton Dargan, now a resident of the flourishing town of Abbeville, is spending his ten days’ vacation among the friends of his boyhood days. The up town office of the Dar lington Phosphate Works is in the building formerly occupied by Messrs. Nettles & Nettles as a law-office, next door to Mr. E. Keith Dargan’s. Capt. John Mclver, of Hazel- hurst, Ga., is on a brief visit to his relatives in Darlington. Capt. Mclver has a fine position in the State of his adoption, and is doing well there. Messrs. J. H. Moore and Par rott W. Bell have formed a co partnership and bought out a state right in a patent seed-sow er. Mr. Bell is to travel the State in the interest of the in vention. ' Judging from the rumors we hear all around us, there seems to be no doubt about the vote of Darlington County being cast for Mr. J. G. Evans, the man whom Governor Tillman wants to succeed him. The Rev. Mr. Carlisle is ex pected back in time to conduct services at his Church on Sun day. The Rev Mr. Law will preach at his church as usual. There will be no services at the Baptist Church. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Shaw, of Bishopville, evangelists who have been preaching at the fac tory for some time past, have been appearing in front of the court house for the last few af ternoons, and conducting open air religious meetings there. Mr. G. A. Hutchinson has been using ever since the 11th inst., new sweet potatoes of the “Early Red” variety raised on his place, which were planted on Good Friday, and which have attained a most unusual pgree of development for the m. The Rev. Mr. Law announced from his pulpit on Sunday that he had decided to accept the call to Ocala, Florida, which was recently made him. Mr. Law will be a great loss to his church and to the entire com munity. He is much beloved by his congregation who give him up with reluctance. The residence of Mrs. S. L. Pearce, directly back of the Bank of Darlington, has been entered by thieves several times recently during the night, though, fortunately, they have not succeeeed in carrying off anything of value as yet. Their movements are so daring that the police can easily capture them if they will keep a sharp lookout. Esq., on Vr-caTfesday morning next, at 12 o’clock. Rev. R. W. Barnwell, accom panied by Mrs. Barnwell, will leave Florence on Monday for the sea-coast in Horry County, where they will spend several weeks camping out and “rough ing it” in the open air. The Darlington correspondent of the New» and Courier says: “Mr. C. D. Evans, the veteran member of the Darlington Guards, has returned from his Spartanburg trip. At the en campment Mr. Evans was made captain of the Guard, an honor worthily bestowed on one who had shouldered his musket and marched with the boy ins grey. Thieves entered recently the houses of Mrs. C. J. Alexander and Mrs. 8. J. Nettles, who live next door to each other on Gr ange Street, and ransacked them thoroughly in their search for plunder. What they sue ceeded in carrying off cannot be determined at present, as both of the households named have gone away for the summer, and the houses are unoccupied. A Century Old. Mrs. Jane Moody, who lives on Hurricane Creek, m Mechan- icsville Township, and who was born on the 16th day of July, 17l»4, celebrated her one hun dredth birthday anniversity on Monday last. She has 81 living decendants, 61 of whom were present at the celebration, chil dren, grand-children, great- grand-children, and great-great- grand children, so that five gen erations were represented. They were all photographed in a group. A sumptuous repast was served, and the old lady, who is still hale and hearty, and looks as if she is good for many years more, enjoyed greatly the con gratulations of her relatives and friends. “Reformers" Organizing. The “Reformers” of Darling ton county had a convention at Swift Creek on Monday at which the suggestions of the State “Reform” ExecutiveCom- mittee in regard to the holding of a primary within the ranks of that faction, which sugges tions were published in full in these columns last week, were unanimously adopted. Mr. W. H. Lawrence was elected Coun ty Chairman of the “Reformers” and Mr Preston McIntosh “Re form” Secietary. Amassmeet- ing will be held at Oats on the last day of this month for the purpose of affording the candi dates an opportunity of an nouncing their willingness to sacriflce themselves upon the altar of their country. Agricultural Society Meeting*. The Darlington Agricultural Socity will hold its annual meeting at the Fair Grounds on Tuesday, Aug. 14. Committees will report on the following sub jects: “The most economical and practical methods of nuder- draiuing ” J. J. Ward, Chair man, J. B. Law, R. H. Rogers, J. S. Scott; The uses and abus es of commercial fertilizers,” Bright Williamson, Chairman, Edward E. Evans, J. W Beas ley, Sam B. Gandj, D. M. Smoot “Is the raising of Stock profita ble to the average cotton farm er of this section?,” Lucas McIn tosh, Chairman, 8. A. Gregg, S. J. Bell, Paul Whipple. A full attendance at this meeting is expected, and the members of the Society anticipate spend ing the usual pleasant day which has marked these anniversary celebrations for so many years past. Drowned in a Tub. At the large, old-fashioned, double building, the property of Mr. Henry M. Smith, on the corner of Exchange and Mowry Streets, opposite the residence of Mrs. L. C. Cameron, a most deplorable accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon about four o’clock, which resulted in Mr. Lucius Brown, who drives L. E. Smith’s ’bus, and his v«fe, a young daughter of Mr. M. J. Outlaw, losing their only child, a bright l.ttle girl about thir teen months old. The little “tot”, who was just beginning to walk, was playing around a large wash-tub, partly filled with water, and falling in, was drowned before assistance could reach her. Dr. Baird was promptly called in, but as soon as he saw the child announced that its little soul had departed. The grief of the unfortunate young mother was something pitiful to behold. For $1.75—Those fine wire cots at Baird & Smoot’s which were formerly sold for $2.25 and $2.50. partan- mes back to the ington Guards in their rec ollection of the kind treatment they received at the hands of the Atlantic Coast Line people, and particularly from Mr. Frank Pegues.the agent at Darlington. No effort was spared to promote the comfort of the party, both goinp to Spartanburg and re turning, and the result was that the trip was made in a greater degree of comfort than one is in habit of expecting on excursion occasions The car which went all the way through fromDarlington to Spartanburg prevented the necessity of for ty or fifty persons getting out of the train with their baggage and changing cars at Florence, Sumter and Columbia. When the party went to take the train on Friday for the return trip, they were delighted to find as a part of it a car marked with the familiar “A. C. L.”, which had been sent up the road by Mr. Pegues’ order to bring them back. Twenty-five energetic men i wanted at once; light work and I good pay; “the early bird catches I the worm”; don’t fail to apply | at once to J. H. Moore, Darling- Jton, 8. C. Around the Diamond. On Monday, at Florence, the club of that town beat the Dar lington boys by a score of 22 to 2. Register, Darlington’s brag pitcher, received a slight injury at the opening of the game which prevented him from re maining in the box, so that the team was at a considerable dis advantage. The Darlington team went on to Georgetown, and “crossed bats” with the club at that place on Tuesday, the result being 11 to 0 in favor of Georgetown. The two nines played a second game yester day, and will play a third to day. A game between the Flor ence and Darlington second nines at this place on Tuesday resulted in a draw, 14 to 14. The base ball fever is growing, and is now higher than it has been in Darlington for several years past. Fifth, sixth, seventh and even eighth nines are said to be in process of formation, the boys composing the eighth nine being so small that they can scarcely “toddle” much less throw a ball. The enthusiasts in Darlington are beginning to see that their best team needs strengthening, and steps are now being taken looking to the securing of such a result. It is probable that a professional “battery” will be hired by the citizens of the town for the sea son, and that, before the sum mer is over, Darlington will lie able to show the neighboring towns what it is able to do in the way of ball playing. “My Son, It I* The Candidate." The voice of the candidate is unmistakably heard in the land just now, and the air is full of rumors concerning those who are ready and willing to serve their country for tneir country’s good. The race for the Senate will be between Mr. J. W. Beas ley, the incumbent, and Rev. John S. DuBose, who is at pres ent a member of t h e lower house. The name of Mr. Henry C. Burn nas been mentioned in connection with this office, though it is not thought that hewill really develop into a can didate for it. Mr. J. O. A. Moore has also been urged to run for the Senate, but has declined to do so. Mr.J. E. Mill er, at present a member of the Board of County Commission ers, and Mr. E. L. Gray, of La mar, will be formally announc ed as candidates for the House of Representatives. The other names heard mentioned in this connection are those of Mr. Ervin Stokes and Mr. W. F- Early, though it is not definite ly known what their strength is, or whether they desire to become candidates. Messrs. Walter Vaughn and J. W. Da vis, who have represented the county in the Legislature for the past two years, are said to be “not in it” at this time in a political sense. Mr. J. 0. Mul- drow is the only one talked ot so far for Probate Judge, and Mr. Walter J. Parrott the chief one for County Supervisor, the newly created officer who is to represent all three members of the Board of County Commis sioners rolled into ofee. Messrs. G. H. Carrow’ay, W. 8. King, and Henry J. Nettles have also been talked of in connection with the last named office. Mr. A. J. A. Perritt will probably be urged for re-election to the office of School Commissioner. Rumor has it that he is to be opposed by Mr. G. W. Stith, of Lamar, and by Mr. J. A. Gra ham, the school teacher at Cy press. The Sheriff, Clerk of the Court and Coroner hold over for two years longer. There will be no opposition to Mr. Lawrence the present Auditor, nor Capt. Base, the Treasurer. The minor offices of Jury Com- Imissioner and Supervisor of Registration have apparently been overlooked so far, but are not likely to remain in that condition for any great length of time. Collegian* at Work. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier says: “Mr. S. C. Glenn, a graduate of the South Carolina College, has J one to Kingstree, where ne will egin work for the College. He has been sent there under the auspices of the Alumni Associa tion, with the endorsement of the trustees of the College. It is intended to have several of the alumni travel over the State and present the many ad vantages of the College and dis abuse the minds of those who have gotten false impressions of the work and scope of the South Carolina College. The College now has nothing to fear and all its alumni want is for the peo ple of the State to understand its work and to have a larger attendance than during the last few years.” At Edgefield To-Day. [Columbia Register.] There is no telling what will be the outcome of the Edgefield meeting on Thursday. The probability is that there will be 2,000 or 3,000 men present General Butler’s friends will turn out to a man and Tillman’s will do likewise. Several rea sons will animate them in doing this. Each side will strive to show its strength and each side will go to watch the other. When a row is looked for, how ever, it is generally avoided. People are quick to suppress trouble in its incipiency when they are on the lookout for it. The unexpected happens and this is why trouble may be averted at Edgefield. Desper ate men will be there and will be ready to resort to anything desperate. Tillman and Butler should come to a definite agree ment to discuss nothing but national issues and to leave out everything which will incite or provoke a bitter feeling. Just received, a car-load of Swan’9 Down flour, at Deans Bros’,' A Diaaenting Baptiat Preacher. [Columbia Register. 1 Ashville, N. C., July 15.—A special to the Charlotte Observ er says: Rev. John A. Brunson has tendered his resignation as pastor of the French Broad Bap tist Church, to take effect to morrow. In an interview in the Citizen Mr. Brunson said he differed from the Baptist belief in three essential points. “First”, he said. “1 keep Sat urday instead of Sunday. The change was made by the Catho lie Church. Second, I believe in conditional immortality or eternal life through Jesus Christ to whom to choose only. Thrird, I do not believe in eternal torment. Those are the main points.” Mr. Brunson has been here for about six months. He is from Darlington, S. C., and was a missionary of the Baptist Church for three years. It has been reported that he was going over to the Seventh Day Adventists, who have been holding meetings here for two months, but he cypress. says that he has not joined them. The Hartaville High School. [Newa and Courier], Society Hill, July 14.—Yes terday was the day set for an educational mass meeting in the interest of the proposed Welsh Neck High School. The place ot the meeting was Black Creek Church, near Dovesviile, and quite a large gathering of peo- E le assembled to hear speeches y D. W. Key, J. W. Perry, G. T. Gresham, F. M. Satterwhite and N. N. Burton. It was the first of a series of meetings that have been planned by the trus tees to be held at various points within the bounds of the asso ciation. The interest was greater even than had been an ticipated. The school is to be lo cated at Hartsville. The teach ers have been selected, a com petent corps they are, and build ings are being made ready for the opening day in September. It is proposed to m a k e the school mediate between the college and common school, af fording opportunities for study ing ancient and modern langua ges, music, English branches and natural sciences and a good practical business course. A boarding place for the young ladies is already equipped at a cost of about $4,000. The board ing place for the young men is not ready yet, but will be by the opening of the school. It is expected that the school will grow and that other more cost ly buildings will be erected as they may be needed. This is expected to take rank with a few other schools of like grade in the State and offer special ad vantages to the youth of eastern South Carolina, though its doors will be open to all from every point of the compass. It is one of the most decided steps for ward that has been taken in this section in many years. Hard times prices on Domestic sewing machines; $45 the for mer price, $25 the present price, $20 saved on each machine. McCall & Burch. FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. PHILADELPHIA. Miss Ida Williamson, of Rich mond, Va., is visiting the fam ily of Mr. R. F. Howie. Mr. Fred Garner is home from Clemsou College, for the pur pose of recruiting his health. Mosquitoes and “gallinippers” have put in their appearance. We pray to be delivered from such a time as we had last year with them. Mr. W T . S. Yarborough, one of our most prosperous farmers, is arranging to build a new barn, and so is Mr. F. A. Dowling, Jr. The latter proposes to make his “rat-proof”. Mr. Joseph A. Pipkin is now mail carrier between this place and Syracuse, he being the low est bidder for the contract. Dr. J. P. Parrott, who formerly carried the mail, resigned. During one of our rains a few days ago, lightning struck the residence of Mr. J. W. Watford while he and some of his child ren were resting on the floor near by the part which was struck, but fortunately, none of them were seriously hurt. The house was only slightly injured For the last three weeks rains with us have been abundant, and the improvement and ad vancement of crops during that time is wonderful. We see the work of our hands prospering Oh, why don’t we lay aside strife and factional differences in politics and be a happy, un ited and oontented people? Rev. C. D. Mann held his first protracted meeting for this year at this place last week. He was assisted bv the Rev. W. S. Mar tin, of Bennettsville. While the meeting was free from all emotional excitement, we be lieve much good was accom plished as a result of able preaching and earnest admoni tions. Mr. Martin made a good impression on us all. Some of our “Reform” breth ren had the honor of entertain ing some of the candidates for office the night previous to the speaking at Oats, Governor Tillman being one of the num ber that stopped off at Syracuse. After hearing the speeches, we are of different opinions as Some say this one, some say that one, for the candidates are many; others say: “Boys, let’s have no‘fence- straddlers’ ”; but I predict that a good “fence straddler” is the very man needed. Such a one could “oversee” both fields, and could thus harmonize the two factions and restore a normal state of things. Dr. M. F. Skinner, of Stokes’ Bridge, visited friends here on Saturday. Rev. C. D. Mann preached to a large congregation at this place at 3.30 o’clock last Sun day afternoon. ' Mr. J. W. DuBose has been a heavy looser by watermelon thieves recently, and is “hot” on their trail. Chicken thieves are flourish ing in this neighborhood. Mr. P. A. Saverance is the latest sufferer at their hands. Mr. Ralph McLendon, who attended the Charleston High School last session, left on Sat urday to enter Clemson College. A little child of Limus Slater, colored, fell into a tub of hot water on Saturday last, and was so severely scalded that it died the following day. Thieves made an attempt to brake into Amos Slater’s house one night last week, but were frightened off by Slater’s son, who was aroused by the noise they made. Crops are very fine in this section, and we are all undecid ed as to who will probably carry off the prize for having the best. We believe Mrs. R. E. Huggins has the finest field of cotton we have seen yet, and Dr. J. M. Jo- sey the finest corn. Some of Mr. J. W. DuBose’s cotton measured 66 inches in height on July 6. Far more comfortable than a hammock, cheaper and mnch more convenient—Baird & Smoot’s wire cots at $1.75. GREEN PLAINS. Misses Jennie and Addie Bos well have gone on a visit to friends near Effingham. The new military company at Bethlehem is drilling occasion ally, and is looking for new guns and uniforms. Mr. R. L. Allen, who moved to Maxton, Jf. C. some time ago, has moved back to Green Plains, which he says is the best place after all. ! Mr. W. H. Huggins, who has been in very bad health the greater part of the year, left for Bishopviile yesterday in the hope tout the change might ben efit him. Crops generally are looking very fine. The farmers have been busy lately working on the grass that appeared after the rain, but most of it has been conquered now. We notice that one of the cor respondents of The News writes about tobacco leaves in his neighborhood which are twen- a ‘ -four inches long. Mr J. W. riggs has some at least twice that long. Come and see them, and tie convinced. CLYDE. Miss Addie Outlaw, of Darl ington, is visiting friends in our community. Mrs. A. J. Morris is quite sick. Mr. D. D. Johnson, who has been so ill, we are glad to report, is now improving. Rev. A. H. Best delivered a fine sermon at Newmarket on Sunday. The Sunday School there is in a flourishing condition at present. Mr. J. C. Watkins, of our community, has the finest acre of corn that we have seen at all this year, and Mr. B L. Outlaw, of Kelleytown, the finest crop of cotton. The voters in our section are so demoralized over the present condition of things that they hardly know “where they are at.” They wish sincerely that some “good old ’76 Democrat” would come around and tell them. 1,000 bushels of meal at Deans Bros’. JASPER. Evangelist Anderson conduct ed a meeting at Anderson school house last week. The boys are spending the nights at the tobacco barns, curing the leaf and hoping for a profit in the future. Miss Ida Timmons is on a short visit to friends and rela tives here, after which she will go to North Carolina for while. Rev. Mr. Dowell, of Black Creek, is assisting our pastor in a series of meetings at Lake Swamp. He is an e a r n e s worker in the cause of religion. Henry Wilkes, of Chesterfield county, is in our community. He expects to remain some time with friends and relatives. We welcome him heartily, and wish that he would make his permanent home on the hills of Lake Swamp. See flour.

C., July 13, 1894.—At the preliminary trial here to-day, before Trial Justice Atkinson, in the case of the State versus Lis Hatchell, Wil lie J. Abrams and others under indictment for “looting” the Florence dispensary, on the night of the 30th day of March last, the only witness testifying to the act and to the identity of the parties was J. M. Powers, who stated that he was present and in the dispensary building when the havoc was committed, but without either participating or protesting. He stated fur ther that after the occurrence he went with Willie J. Abrams in quest of a Winchester rifle for the latter, (which, however, they failed to obtain), and thpt then they together proceeded to the railroad depot, where a body of men (incited by the murder* ous affray of that day at Dar lington to go in pursuit of the State constables then fleeing from that deed) were organig- ing to go to Effingham, whom they accompanied. He said that he was in the employ of the State at the time of the raid on the dispensary, yet neither by commission, appointment nor contract, but was simply work ing for rewards as under the dispensary act. Uis evidence was given in a reluctant man ner for the most part, and com bative style, and was rather wild at times and hard to keep within the limits of the ques tions propounded by the cross- examination, so that his own counsel, Detective W. H. New- bold, was frequently endeavor ing to signal off the objectless escaping steam, and bring it in a decent measure into the bounds set by the law and rules of evidence. The attorney for the defence Mr. W. F. Clayton, clerk of the board of county commissioners, and editor of the Reform Advo cate, asked for a dismissal of the case on the ground that the evidence of the only material wjtness, Mr. Powers, taken to gether TTith the attendant cir- cumstances, made the inference of complicity on his part in the crime the only reasonable one; and that his statement was without corroboration. The trial justice, however, decided to en ter this case upon his docket, and bound over each one of the accused, Lis Hatchell, Willie J. Abrams, Ed Cannon, Charles Beck and Taylor, in the sum of $600 for appearance &t the next term of court at Flor ence. The indictment for con spiracy was dismissed, no testi mony being brought out to give it any legs to stand upon. De tective Newbold talks confident ly, and claims to be able to pro duce plenty of facts to secure conviction when the trial Shall take place. He explains that Powers, who has apparently no occupation, rich kin or other visible means of support, is fre quently in his own employ and paid by him; while he, Newbold, as detective, is serving out a ninety day contract with Gov ernor Tillman, for which he is to receive a stated sum; and is in no other wise whatever inter ested in the Florence cases. Governor Tillman is quoted as saying that all the dispensaries in the State will be open again in three weeks time. Just received, a car-load 8 alt, at Deans Bros). A real 1 u x u r y—Baird Smoot's wire cots at $1.75. of & A Promiaing Scholar. [Columbia Journal.] Among the young South Car olinians rapidly rising to promi nence in the world is Mr. David Frank Houston, who has just been elected adjunct professor of political science in the Uni versity of Texas at a handsome salary. Mr. Houston is a Darlington boy and was prepared for col lege by the capable teachers for which that town has always been noted. In the fall of 1885 he entered the junior class at the South Carolina College and graduated with honors in the class of ’87. In those days un der the valuble instruction of Professor R. Means Davis he showed decided aptitude and fondness for political economy. For one year after graduation Mr. Houston was a tutor in the South Carolina College and pur sued his studies under Prof. Da vis. He was then elected su perintendent of t h e Spartan burg schools, which position he held with great satisfaction to that community. He then went to Harvard, where he has been for the past two or three years and has taken his M. A. and Ph. D. At Harvard Mr. Hous ton has had a brilliant career. He won and held the Morgan scholarship, one of the best in the university and was president of the graduate association, an honor only attained by men of distinction in scholarship. He has been a lecturer in the Harvard Annex and last year prepared the State bank tax ar ticle for the official National Democratic campaign book. Mr. Houston has written sever al monographs on economio subjects and is now busy on a work having for its subject the “Federal Relations of South Carolina.” Last year he was offered a position in a well known New England school, but declined it in order to finish his course for a degree. Prof. Houston will prove a decided acquisition to the great University of Texas and will bring his department to the front. In addition to his schol arship he has all the qualifica tions for making many and strong friends ana those whom he leaves in South Carolina will cordially wish him a continu ance and increase of the honors which he has already won.
