A Furman University Scholarship.
There will be a competitive
examination held on the 24th of
August, in this county, under
the charge of the County School
Commissioner, for a Scholar
ship in Furman University,
worth fifty dollars, an amount
sufficient to cover tuition for one
year. The appointee is to enter
the lowest College class. For
further information, catalogues,
etc., address Charles I. Durham
Sec’y of Faculty, Furman Uni
versity, Greenville, S. C.
A Splendidly Equipped Institution.
Prof. J. Fleming Brown, one
of the professors at Converse
College, was in Darlington this
week in the interest of that in
stitution. Parents who have
young daughters to educate
would do well to read his adver
tisement, which appears in an
other column. We do not believe
that those who have never had
an opportunity of visiting this
institution can form any con
ception of the magnificent scale
on which it is conducted, or of
the exceptional advantages it
offers to the young women of
the State.
A Deserved Promotion.
Mr. Patterson Wardlaw, at a
recent meeting of the trustees
of the South Carolina College,
was elected Professor of Pedog
ogics, a new chair recently cre
ated in that institution. This
is another heavy loss to Darling
ton. Mr. Wardlaw is one of the
t reat teachers of the day, and
is place here will be hard to
fill. We congratulate him hear
tily upon the richly deserved
honors that have come to him.
In referring to the matter, the
Columbia State says: “Profes
sor Wardlaw is well known in
Columbia, as he was the
principal of the Laurel Street
school here. He is a gentleman
of the highest character and a
teacher of experience and great
worth. The college is to be
congratulated on securing his
services.”
Excursion to Washington.
On account of the meeting of
the Supreme Lodge, Knights of
Pythias of the World, the C. S.
& N. road will on Aug. 23—28,

$13.65. This is to bo a grand
occasion and the C. S. & N. of
fers to its patrons the choice of
two routes, one all rail by Wel
don and Richmond to Washing
ton and the other via Ports
mouth and the magnificent
steamers of the Norfolk and
Washington River line, which

when he can shut down his plant

till he has to do so for good. The

right on just the same in dull

Small Help forBrav* Men.
The board of managers of the
Artificial Limb Fund sent to the
Clerk of Court on Monday a
check for $183, to be distributed
as follows: J. H. Brown, $15;
J. H. Clyburn, $26.50; E. W.
Cannon, $35; L. M. Crosswell,
$7; H. J. DuBose, $10; W. T.
Gilbert, $10; W. H. H. Miller,
$7; B. 8. Lucas, $10; Caleb
Odom,$15;W.J. Windham,$47.50
In regard to the distribution of
this fund, the Columbia corres
pondent of the News and Cour
ier says: “After a month’s
work the State board charged
with the annual distribution of
the artificial limb fund has
completed its work to-day. The
clerks of the boajd are busy
sending out the warrants for
the various amounts to the
county clerks of Courts of the
several counties to whom the
beneficiaries of the fund will ap
ply and get their share. There
are about two hundred and for
ty beneficiaries and about $5,000
is to be distributed in this way.
It wil bo noticed below that in
some counties the amount is
much larger than it is for oth
ers. This is due to the fact that
there were many artificial limb
pensioners last year who were
allowed claims by the board
which could not be paid, as the
fund did not hold out. In ac
cordance with the proflbions of
the Act This year all these pre
viously approved claims must
be paid first, and then whatev
er is left over must be prorated
equally among them and those
who received their money last
year according to the amounts
allowed for the loss of a leg, an
arm or an eye. Only those who
lost in engagements in the late
war an arm, a leg or an eye are
entitled to the benefits of the
appropriation.”
The “Reform” Mass Meeting.
In accordance with the an
nouncement made some time
ago, the “Reformers” held a
meeting at Oats on Tuesday for
the purpose of hearing from
those who are to receive their
suffrages. The following, who
will be run for the offices nam
ed, addressed the people: Sen
ate, J. W. Beasley, J. S. Du
Bose, E. L. Gray, J. N. Parrott;
House of Representatives, J. N.
Kervin, Walter Vaughan, J.
Wilson Warr, J. E. Miller, T. L.
Northcutt, L. A. Moore, P. R.
McIntosh; Probate Judge, W. B.
Hoole; School Commissioner, A.
J. A. Perritt; County Treasurer,
J. E. Bass, J. W. Woodham;
Auditor, W. H. Lawrence, H.
A. Josey; Trial Justice, John
Floyd and C. P. Dargan. Mes
srs. W. S. King and W. W. Mc
Kenzie were announced, with
out speeches, for the new office
of County Supervisor, as were
the following candidates for the
office of Trial Justice: 8. W. P.
DuBose, Cypress; G. W. Mims,
Lamar; J. A. Smith, Ashland;
L. M. Croswell, Dovesville. Mr.
R. F. Howie may be announced
later as a candidate for County
Treasurer, but he will not be
bound by the “Reform” pri
mary. Mr. J. O. Muldrow an-
nounce*d that he was not in the
race for Probate Judge, but was
in favor of Mr. W. B. Hoole for
that position. Mr. H. 0. Burn
made a speech, the chief ele
ments of which appeared, as well
as we could gather, to bis in the
nature of a personal explanation,
though many got the idea some
how that he, too, was coming
out for the Senate, as he spoke
just after the senatorial aspir
ants, and his name has been
mentioned before in that con
nection.
The meeting, which was
opened with prayer by Rev. J.
8. DuBose, was presided over
by Mr. W. H. Lawrence, who
explained its object. Mr. J. W.
Beasley was then introduced.
He made a good speech, which
will be published in full in onr
next issue. He objected to the
“Reform” primary, and an
nounced that he would run in
dependent of it. He doubted
the witdom of reopening the
dispensaries at this time, and
in this way, but was not dis
posed to criticize the Governor.
Rev. J. 8. DuBose said that he
was not “out on the hunt,”
but was here just to do the best
he could for the county; that he
did not announce himself as a
candidate, but if the people
wanted him he was a public
servant; that he knew the peo
ple had confidence in him. We be sentto any
are passing through a crisis-year for $?.45.
as we have never faced
before, and it is our doty to do
all we can for the State’s inter
est. Mr. Beasley wants us all
to wait for the Democratic prim
ary, but the other side has nev
er shown any disposition to
“tote” fair. We elected “Re
form” judges by caucus. In
answer to a question the speak
er denied emphatically that he
had ever tried to force a dispen
sary on the people of Lamar;
he thought that he had done
more to keep whiskey out of
Lamar than any other man.
Mr. E. L. Gray said that this
was the first time he had ap
peared before the people of Dar
lington county as a candidate;
that he had not announced
himself, but had been brought
out by his friends. He favors
dispensaries, but thinks there
ought to be only one in a coun
ty. Mr. J. N. Parrott announc
ed that he had been solicited to
come out as a candidate. If
two-thirds of the voters want
the new county he would not
object. He said that he would
uphold the Governor in sup
porting the dispensary law. In
answer to the question “Who
caused us to lose our School
Commissioner four years ago?,
which was asked him by Rev.
A. W. Parrott, he replied, “The
State officers.”
Mr. J. N. Kervin said he was
in favor of having the county
seat moved to the centre of the
County. He asked that anyone
who had any charges to make
against him, of whatsoever
kind, make them 1 here and then.
To this there was no response.
Mr. Walter Vaughan does not
want the county seat changed,
but Messrs J. Wilson Warr, L
A. Moore, and P. R. McIntosh
do. Mr. T. L. Northcutt made
a stirring campaign speech,
the first of the day. Mr. W. B.
Hoole announced himself as
willing to see the new county
formed if the people wanted
if, but reminded them that the
scheme involved great expense
and should be maturely cons.d-
ered before acted on. Mr. A. J.
A. Perritt made a good educa
tional talk. He said he was op
posed to caucuses, except where
they had to be resorted to in
self-defense. He was opposed
to prohibition, and in favor of
the dispensary system, believ
ing it to be the best solution of
the liquor problem. He thought
that politics and public educa
tion should be kept as far apart
as possible; that education was
the salvation of the country
Messrs. J. E. Bass and J. W
Woodham announced their can
didacy for the office of County
Treasurer, and both answered,
to the apparent satisfaction of
the audience, the questions put
to them. They were followed
by Messrs. W.V H. Lawrence
and H. A. Josey, candidates for
Auditor, and Messrs John Floyd
and C. P. Dargan, candidates
for the office of Trial Justice,
after which the meeting ad
journed.
Mr. Lawrence had three ques
tions, as follows, which he pro
pounded to every speaker: 1. As
a “Reformer”, will you submit
to the rules adopted by the
“Reform” State Executive*Com
mittee governing the “Reform”
primaries? 2. Wh«»t is your
position as to the formation of
the new county to be known as
“Salem”? 3. Do you endorse
the dispensary law, and are you
willing to uphold GFov. Tillman,
in enforcing it; if not in what
respect are you opposed to the
law, and what methods- do you
condemn in enforcing it? The
aspirants for the Legislature
were also asked: “If elected,
whom will you support for the
United States Senate?” All of
them were for Tillman, and all
except Mr. Beasley agreed to
abide the result of the “Reform”
primary Most of them express
ed'themselves as in favor of the
dispensary law and opposed to
the new county. On tha sub
ject of the proposed removal of
the county seat, on which every
candiaate was also questioned
in turn, there seemed to be a
difference of opinion, though
many of them favored it. The
meeting was a good humored
one throughout and everytliing
passed off qdletl^ There
only about 150 persons present.

it. He did not propose to
pursue the same tactics as his
predecessor. He said he is a
gentleman, and his record as
sheriff of Aiken county is open
to the inspection of anyone. All
who knew him knew that he
had never acted wrong in his
career as sheriff. He proposed
to go to Charleston at once and
see the whiskey men and tell
them what methods he would
pursue. He would go to each

peaceable way get them to close

A Sharp Trickster.
During frontier times in Tex
as, a genus named Billie Trix-
ter, whose name well suits his
character, was held up by a high
wayman and made to surrender
$300 in gold which he was tak
ing to the bank. Billie gave
up the money in a pleasant
manner, but informed the rob
ber that the money belonged to
another man and it would be a
difficult matter to convince him
that he had been robbed.
“I will write you a receipt, if
that will suit you,” said the
robber with a grin.
“No,” said Billie, that would
do no good; but I’ll tell you
shoot a lot of holes in my coat
and I can tell him that I had
right smart scuffle with you.”
“ All right here goes.”
He shot two holes in his coat
and three in his hat and Billie
said:
“Nowpiitone more through
my coat ”
“But I hain’t got ary nuther
load.”
“Bet your sweet life I have,
said Billie pulling his own pis
tol and holding it on the robber.
“Now fork over that kale seed.
All right pard. Good bye, I’ll
see you later.” And he rode
off leaving the chagrined rob
ber to his sad meditations.
Collecting Railroad Fare* In Texas.
A short branch railroad, run
ning out into western Texas,
had only been completed a short
time, and daily trains ran from
the frontier town to the city.
One morning a cowboy, well
known to the conductor, and in
fact, to all in those parts,
entered the train bound for the
city. This cowboy was full of
fun, and on this paricular morn
ing he could not help letting
some of it run over. The con
ductor came up to him, smiled,
and said:
“Ticket!”
“This is my ticket.” said the
cowboy, presenting his pistol.
“All right, sir, all right. Per
fectly satisfactory,” said the
conductor, and he passed on.
That evening on the return
trip, the conductor noticed the
cowboy, but took up the tickets
from all but him, then he walk
ed up to the cowboy, presented
his own pistol and demanded:
“Ticket!”
“Oh, that’s a different way of
putting the question,” and the
cowboy delivered the tickets
for both trips.
The Governor Should Be Cautious.
[Colubmia Register.]
Governor Tillman’s action in
ordering the reopening of the
dispensaries on August 1 has
not the hearty support which
the Reformers have accorded to
all his official actions. Quite a
number of prominent Reformers
and a number of Reform papers
have advised against the reop
ening and a majority of the
Board of Control are believed to
be against it. In view of these
facts, we think it will be well
for the Governor to act with
caution. Reopening at this
time will complicate the legal
phase and make it harder for
thd'State to win a victory
. _
Don’t Do It Governor.
[Anderson People's Advocate, “Re
form” Organ.]
We regret to see the Governor
giving out an intimation that
the Dispensarise will be reopen
ed in a few weeks. This ought
not to be done for two reasons,
the first of which is that it is a
matter of doubt in the minds of
ood lawyers as to whether the
ecision of the Supreme Court
affected the coustitutionality of
the Act of 1893 with the prepon
derance ofdoubt leaning toward
the affirmative. Andtheseconl
is that it will place Associate
Justice Gary in an awkward po
sition. It will look either as if
the Governor knew beforehand
what his opinion was, or that he
presumed what it would be, and
either dilemma would be bad
for the Judge.
We have no doubt about what
his opinion of the constitution
ality of the law is, but that
opinion should not be discount
ed in advance. A third reason
which might be given is that it
would be better from every point
of view as a matter of policy to
let the status of things remain
as they are until the legislature
meets which will be fresh from
the people and let that body re
enact the law with the profit
feature and the constabulary
left out. The miserable facre
that is being enacted in the State
under the guise of prohibition
is one of the best educational
factors in the solution of the
whiskey problem and is showing
the people more and more every
day the superiority of the Dis
pensary plan, so that by the
time the Legislature meets there
will be a strong public senti
ment behind it. Let the matter
stand as it is.

An Interesting Work.
Messrs. Funk & Wagnails, of
New York, are selling one of
the most useful books of refer
ence now on the market, and
one which all students and pro
fessional men who have seen it
pronounce of inestimable value
to them. We refer to the Hoyt-
Ward “Cyclopaedia of Practi
cal Quotations”, a very elabor-
work, the compiling of which
must have cost much labor. By
means of this useful volume,
any poetical quotation can be
found at a moment’s notice.
The indexes are varied and cop
ious, seeming to provide for al
most every conceivable case
that may arise. The price of
the book is $5, and it is well
worth it. Write for descriptive
circulars to Funk & Wagnalls
Co., 18 Astor Place, New York.
