The advertisement of t h e

that their sojourn in Bennetts- 1
ville will, after all, be only tem-!
We were in error last week
in stating that the mother of
the little infant that was drown
ed was a daughter of Mr. M. J.
Outlaw. She was a Miss Gas
kins before marriage. Her hus
band, Mr. Lucius Brown, has
been very ill for several weeks
with typhoid fever.
A petition is being circulated
asking for Sunday mails to this
point over the C. S. & N. road,
and the Postoffice Department
has been corresponding with
Mr. Gandy, in regard to the
matter. While nothing has
been settled as yet concerning it,
there is reason to believe that
thepetilion will not be granted.
Messrs. R. E. and P. Z. Harl
lee, the efficient engineers at
the oil mill, left yesterday for a
brief visit to their old home in
Georgetown. Mr. P. Z. Harlee
will retun. to Darlington, but
we regret to say that his broth
er will leave about Aug. 1 for
Temple, Texas, where tie has
accepted a position in an oil
mill.
At The Churche*.
The Rev. Mr. Carlisle did not
return in time to fill his pulpit
on Sunday last, but his place
was supplied by Rev. Edward
S. Jones, an eloquent divine,
who has made quite a favorable
impression in Darlington. There
will be no services in this
church next Sunday, unless Mr.
Carlisle returns in time, which
is doubtful. The Rev. T. Hart
well Edwards will preach at the
Baptist Church, and there will
be the usual services at the
Presbyterian Church.
The Tobacco Market.
Mr. Robert Tredway, the to
bacco man who was with us
last year, has secured as a part
ner Mr. Abram Sydnor, who
worked in Florence last season,
and the firm will run the ware
house at this place the coming
season, which wilt open early
in September. The team is said
to be a particularly strong one,
with Mr. Tredway in the office
and Mr. Sydnor on the floor
There will be a much larger
corps of buyers this year than
we have ever had before.
End of a Uteful Career.
The Rev. W. L. Pegues, the
father of Messrs. Frank and
Herbert Pegues, in charge of
Lancaster Circuit, and one of
the oldest preachers of the
Methodist Church in this State,
died at Cheraw very suddenly
on the 17th inst. Mr. Pegues’
career was a long, useful and
honorable one, he having been
connected with the South Caro
lina Conference for no less than
fifty-four years. The funeral
took place at Newhope Church,
in Marlboro County, on the fol
lowing day.
Arrested For Burglary,
Someone broke into Mr I.
Lewenthal’s store on Monday
night and took out a lot of
goods, which were found the
next day by the police in the
I iossession of one Marion Gra-
lam, colored, who was prompt
ly arrested. The authorities
have reason to believe that Gra
ham is one of those who have
been implicated in other robber
ies that have taken place here
recently, but they are saying
very little about the matter and
“lying low”, in the hope that
they may be able to catch some
of his “pals”, whom they are
now after.
Excursion to Old Point Comfort.
The Atlantic Coast Line an
nounces that it will sell excur
sion tickets at the rate of a fare
and a third for the round trip,
on the certificate plan, for the
meeting of the Southern and
American Dental Association
at Old Point Comfort, Va.,Aug.
2—12, 1894, certificates to be
signed by S. W. Foster, Secre
tary, Decatur, Ala., for the
Southern, and Dr. Geo. H. Cush
ing, 919 Marshal Field Building,
Chicago, 111., for the American
Dental Association. Certificates
will be honored for return tick
ets from Old Point Comfort if
presented on or before Aug, 15,
1894.
A Quick And Pleasant Trip.
The new through route from
Darlington to the North via the
C. S. & N., road is getting quite
popular, owing tothecomfort and
convenience incident to making
the trip in that way, and manv
of our business men going North
to buy their fall and winter
stocks will avail themselves of
it. The passenger leaving here
shortly before nine o’clock at
night boards one of the most
luxurious vestibule trains in the
world at Hamlet an hour or so
afterwards, and does not leave
it until it pulls into Jersey City
the following afternoon, flow’s
that for a quick and pleasant
trip?
Confidence in Congressman McLaurin
The Darlington County Alli
ance has passed and published
in the Columbia Register reso
lutions affirming its confidence
in Congressman McLaurin, not
withstanding some charges
made against him by “certain
newspapers claiming to be fav
orites to the Alliance which
have been circulated in this dis
trict.” The resolutions also de
fend Col. D. P. Duncan, mana
ger of the State Exchange,
against charges which have
been made reflecting on him.
‘•Summering" at Asbury Park.
The New York Time# of re
cent date says: “Mrs. Lawrence
Keitt, the wife of ex-Senator
Keitt, and Miss Anna Keitt, of
South Carolina, are at Asbury
Park. Miss Keitt has been for
several seasons one of the lead
ing belles of South Carolina.
Mrs. and Miss Keitt will go to
Narragansett Pier on Aug. 1
The Columbia Journal of the
18th inst. says: “Mrs. Lawrence
M. Keitt passed through this
city yesterday on her way to
Richmond.”
In The "City of Brotherly Love"
Rev. G. B. Moore is attending
the “Summer Meeting ot Econ
omists” now being held in Phil
adelphia. The Baptist Courier
says: “Prof. G. B. Moore is hap
py. In a private letter he says:
‘I landed several days ago in
the city of ‘Brotherly Love,’and
went to work in the lecture
room before I had secured board
and lodging. This is a splended
place to work; everybody is full
of work.’ He is never happier
than when his hands are full
of hard work.
An Unfortunate Colored Woman.
The Charleston News of Sun
day says: “Mattie Samuels
came to town about three weeks
ago on an excursion from Dar
lington. She has been here ever
since, and has been residing in
the house of Moses Manigault,
a connection in some way. Yes
terday she was taken before
justice Williman on the charge
of grand larceny of $5.80 from
Manigault. Five dollars and fif
ty cents was found on.her per
son. Her actions and manner
seemed to indicate that she was
weak minded. She was commit
ed to jail to await trial.
At Work for the South Carolina Col-
lege.
Mr L. C. Glenn, who is now
working in this part of the State
under the auspices of the Alum
ni Association in behalf of the
S. C. College, will be in Darling
ton and vicinity the early part
of next week, and will be very
S l.id to see every young man
esirous of obtaining a collegi
ate education. New courses
have been added for degrees,
expenses have been reduced
lower than ever before, normal
courses have been established,
and the scholarships in these
courses will be given to each
county. Competitive examina
tions will be held at a date to
be announced later. Altogeth
er, the prospects for a large at
tendance next year are very
bright.
The Latest In County Politics.
There has been nothing new
in politics this week. All the
candidates are keeping mi^
quiet, though something will
doubtless be heard from them
by Tuesday next. On that day,
as will be remembered, the big
mass meeting of the faction is
to take place at Oats, when all
the candidates in the County
are expected to appear and make
formal announcement of their
wants. It is said tnat great
dissatisfaction exists through
out the County m regard to the
“Reform” primary, by which
it is proposed to bind every
member of the faction, and that
the “powers-that-be” in Col
umbia have been notified by
leading “Reformers” here that
it will be impossible to carry
out any such scheme in Dar
lington county, as there are so
many of the faction opposed to
it.
Fin* “Ball" in Proapact.
A new base-ball association
has been tormed—the third this
season. The new organization
has absorbed both of the others.
The capital stock has been in
creased, several “professionals”
will be hired, and Darlington
is, at last, to have “fine ball.”
The officers of the present asso
ciation are as follows: President,
C. 8. McCullough; Secretary
and Treasurer, B. Williamson;
General Manager, L. 8. Wel
ling; Board of Directors, C. Mil
ling, L. 8. Welling, L. E. Wil
liamson, Geo. E. Dargan. The
first games under the new re
gime will be between George
town and Darlington, at our
park, on Friday and Saturday
afternoons of this week and
Monday andTuesday afternoons
of next week. The Georgetown
team is an excellent one, so that
all who attend these games
may count upon seeing about
the best “ball” that will be
played here this season.
Not a Candida la.
Editor Darlington News:
I notice that in your last issue
you say that I have been spok
en of for the Legislature. While
thanking my friends who use
my name in this connection for
the compliment they have paid
me, I desire to state that I am
not a candidate for any office.

Pee Dee Liaht Artillery Reunion.
[Reporter by a Survivor. ]
The annual reunion of the
survivors of the Pee Dee Light
Artillery was held at the Dar
lington Mineral Spring, July 20,
1894. Twenty-two of the “old
boys” were present and greeted
each other as only men who
have shared together the hard
ships and privations of a de
sperate war can do. Notable
among them was the gallant
and venerable Comrade J. H.
Mott, nearly eighty years old,
who had come a distance of
twenty-five miles to bid his old
comrades a last good by. Com
rade E. K. Dargan read a letter
from Comrade J. J. Blake, of
Mt. Vernon, N. Y., expressing
his loyalty to his comrades and
to the principles that they fought
for. True as steel to his friends
and to our Southland has ever
been one of “Old Jake’s” chief
characteristics. A poem by A
P. Gordon was read by Comrade
E K. Dargan, Comrade J. E.
Pettigrew read a portion of Dr.
Cane’s address at the unveiling
of the Confederate Soldiers
Monument at Richmond, Va.,
May 30th, 1894. Comrade J. W.
Brunson was eleettd President
for the ensuing year, and Com
rades J. H. Mott and J. R. Cole
Vice Presidents. At noon lunch
baskets were emptied of their
contents and the old soldiers,
their sons, and a few others not
connected with the Association,
proceeded “from labor to re
freshment.
“Our Dead”, was next on
the programme. One of our
beloved comrades has “crossed
the silent river” since last we
met. Andrew Muldrow, that
quiet, unassuming, intrepid and
faithful soldier, friend and com
rade, has answered his last roll
call. Comrades J. E. Pettigrew,
E. K. Dargan and W. A. Brun
son paid deserving tributes to
his memory. Comrade M. B.
Stanley, an old veteran of the
Mexican War, was with us.
Darlington was his early home.
His recital of the pleasant days
he spent as guards, man at the
“residences of Don Damon in
Mexico” was thrilling in the
extreme. Comrade Thomas
Plummer, now of Indiana, was
present at our reunion for the
first time, as he left Darlington
soon after the war. R. N.
Howie, of the Fifth Texas
smiled upon us also. As we failed
to draw any fire from his gun
in the way of a speech, the
Texas version of a well-known
E assage was quoted for his
enefit:
The race ia not to them that’s got,
The longest legs to run,
Nor is the fight to the lucky wight
That’s got the longest gun.
G. Just Brown vs J. M. Waddill.
Editor Register: It is very
distasteful to me to be compel!
ed to pronounce as a “lie” any
thing emanating from one who
has neretofore passed as my
friend, but I am forced to do so
in order to place Governor Till
man right. In John M. Wad-
dill’s bitter denunciation of
Governor Tillman he charged
him with not paying his sub
scription to a Reform paper
published at Darlington. Now,
as I was proprietor and editor of
that paper, allow me to say that
Governor Tillman never owed
me for subscription. In 1889,1
started the St. Matthew’s Her
ald at St. Matthew’s, Orange
burg County, and always sent a
copy to the Executive Mansion,
complimentary; in fact I con
sidered it a business necessity to
keep the paper before the Gov
e'rnor so that I might catch
what advertising in the shape
of proclamations, etc., coming
from that office. It paid me in
that way. When I started the
Reform Sentinel at Darlington 1
continued the custom. If my
K lost anything by any Re-
ir it lost it bv J. M. Wad-
dill, who not only bamboozled
me into publishing columns of
■elf-laudatory and self written
editorials to boost him for post
master, but took advantage -tif
the close financial condition of
the Sentinel in the hour of our
extreme need to bamboozle us
out of 500 per cent, forcashinga
claim, we held for publishing
sheriff’s sales. We dislike to
say this much, but when it is
sought to make us the instru
ment to injure one who has all
ways been our fast friend, and
who has never robbed us under
the guise of friendship by one
who has, it is time for us to
speak out..

Congressman McLaurin Endorsed.
[Colombia Register.]
At the largest attended cau
cus of Reform delegates from
every township in the county
assembled at FJinn’s Cross
Roads on Monday, July 16, 18-
94, the loll j wing resolutions of
fered by Mr. E. L. Gray receiv
ed a perfect ovation and were
unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That it is the sense
of this convention of Reformers
that we heartily endorse the
manly, outspoken course adopt-
ted by Hon. J. L. McLaurin,
our representative in Congress,
and that he is our unanimous
choice for re-election.
W. H. Lawrence, President.
P. R. McIntosh, Secretary.
Rev. John A. Brunson.
[Cheraw Reporter]
By reference to another col
umn it will be|8een that the Rev.
John A. Bruuson, who recently
went from the Cheraw Baptis't
church to take charge of the
French Broad Baptist church in
Asheville, has resigned his
charge of that church and an
nounced that he will no longer
remain in the Baptist faith. Mr.
Brunson is said by his friends to
be an intensely conscientious
man, ana the step which he has
taken must, therefore, be caused
entirely by conscience. By
severing his connection with the
Baptist church he puts an end
to a useful career in that church.
Let us hope that his talents may
be profitably employed in an
other field of labor.

A Coup D’Etat.
[Columbia ReKister].
The more one reflects upon
what will be the consequence
of reopening the Dispensaries
at this time, the more is one
forced to the conclusion that the
experiment will be attended
with con siderable risk of dan
gerous excitement and turmoil.
Before the decision of the Su
preme Court.it was hard enough
to in any wise enforce the Dis
pensary law, but he is a fool
who does not recognize the fact
that it will be harder to enforce
the law than ever before. There
were thousands of people in the
State in opposition to the Dis
pensary law before the decision
of the Supreme Court, but they
would not break it because they
believed it to be the law. Thf y
have no longer that respect for
it and will have no hesitation in
breaking it and encouraging
violation of it because they be
cause they believe it to be no
longer law, having been declar
ed unconstitutional by the Su
preme Court. However little
regard one may have for Jhe
aforesaid decision, it is law and
cannot be set aside by the will of
any individual, no matter what
place he occupies. If decisions
are to be made and unmade at
that rate, no one will ever know
what the law is.
*****
If it took a vote of the Board
of Control to close the Dispensa
ries, it would seem natural to
suppose that they would have
to be reopened by a vote of that
same body. Another reflection
is that if the Governor consid
ered the Act of 1893 constitn
tional, despite the decision of
the Supreme Court, under his
oath of office as Governor he
should have enforced it, for he
is not vested with power to sus
pend a law at pleasure. If he
did not consider the Act of 1893
constitutional, his suspension
of the law was a recognation of
its distruction by the overthrow
of the Act of 1892. He would
have no power at a later day to
change his opinion.
The Governor’s proclamation
was a bold coup d’etat which
will depend for success, not up
on legal authority, but upon the
immense popularity of the Gov
ernor with his followers. De
velopments will be rapid after
the first of August, and we
greatly mistake if they do not
prove exciting.
Three of the very best papers
of their kind in the country, the
Weekly News and Courier and
the Southern Cultivator, and
The Darlington News will all
be sent to any address for one
year for $2.45.
Trouble In The ‘•Reform" Ranks.
[Colnrabla Register],
There is a spirit of unrest
among l he Reformers of the
Sti te which is manifesting it
self in various ways. The
Register has published commu
nications from a number of men
who are known to be true and
faithful Reformers in which
they express their dissatisfac
tion. They do not like the Col
leton plan under which the Re
form faction is operating and
believe that it will be greatly
abused. The reason of their
dissatisfaction is not far to seek.
When the Reform Movement
was started, one of its objects
was to secure a direct primary,
in which every Democrat could
vote for his choice for each of
fice to be filled. For more or
less satisfactory reasons, this
demand has not been granted.
The voter has no more say-so as
to who shall fill the various of
fices from Lieutenant Governor
to Adjutant and Inspector Gen
eral than he has as to who shaT
live in the moon. Take 1892 for
example. What power did the
average voter have in saying
whether Benet or Townsend
should be Attorney General?
The convention settled that to
suit itself and the voter was not
consulted. And so will it be
this year. What voice will the
average voter have in determin
ing whether Norton or Jones
shall be Comptroller, or May-
field or Whitman shall be Su
perintendent of Education, or
whether Richbourgor Watts or
Brailsford or Minus shall be Ad
jutant and Inspector General?
And likewise with the other of
fices. A direct primary is one
of the original demands of the
Reform movement and the peo
ple should have it. Each roan
should have the right to vote
directly for his choice for each
office to be be filled. It is im-
E ossible to get that this year,
ut the State Democratic Con
vention should provide for a di
rect primary in 1896.
Dangerous and Mischievous.
[Greonvllle Mountain'-or—"Ileform"
Organ.]
The executive committee has
exercised a dangerous and mis
chievous power in refusing to let
the Reform candidates sub
mit their claims to the Demo
cratic primary. Upon the pre
tence that those outside the sa-
ored fold would dictato nomina
tions in the primary, they have
inaugurated a system which
will surely destroy the Reform
faction in the near future. They
have purposely ignored the
t reat principle for which the
ar ers’ Movement came into
existence, which was to secure
to every Democrat the right to
cast his ballot for the man of
his choice in an unrestricted
primary. This was the slogan
upon which the masses were
rallied, and from year to year
the principle has been cast aside
for some other plan until now
it is completely submerged un
der the petty, selfish ambition of
a few leaders who are duping
the people for their own person
al benefit.
