Mr. J. B. White, general

The entertainment given at
Timmonsville on Friday even
ing last by the Choral Club of
that place was a decided success
in every respect, and reflected
f reat credit opon Mr. W. H.
eith, the indefatigable direc
tor of the club.
We are glad to be able to
state that Mr. R. E. Harllee.the
efficient mill engineer, will not
move to Texas after all, he hav
ing been offered an even better
place with the Darlington Phos
E hate Company, for whom he
as been working for some time
past.
The Dovesvolle Academy will
be reopened on Monday, Sept.
10, by the new principal. Prof.
R. L. Freeman, a graduate of
Wake Forest College, N, C.,
who comes highly recommend
ed. The fall advertisement of
the Academy is published else
where in this issue.
The Yorkvi'le correspondent
of The News and Courier says:
Messrs. E. M. Jr. aid W. L.
Law left here on Saturday night
for Bartow, Fla., where they go
to enter upon the discharge of
their duties as professors in a
military school which their
father, Gen E. M. Law, will es
tablish at that place. The
school will open about the-first
of September.
The Democratic Primary.
In the fourth column of the
foregoing table will be found
the vote that was polled at the
different precincts in Tuesday’s
Democratic primary. The third
column shows the Democratic
vote at the same precincts two
years ago when Tillman ran
against Sheppard; the first the
number of votes that were poll
ed for Tillman two years ago,
and the second the total Reform
vol e cast on Aug 11, of this year.
A close inspection of this table
will prove interesting. Tues
day’s total vote was a little
more than half of that polled by
the Reformers two > ears ago, or
just about half of their estimat
ed actual strength at tha f time.
It is less by 81 than the vote at
the Reform primary on Aug. 11,
1894, and is b U one-third of the
Democratic vote of the County,
indicating that all the Conserv-
tives and a large number of Re
formers took no part in the con
test at all.
Political Meeting at Lamar.
Meetings were held at Harts
ville and Lamar on Friday and
Saturday of last week to afford
the candidates for the various
countv offices an opportunity of
addressing the people. The
meeting at Hartsville was slim
ly attended, and was rather a
quiet affair all round, tjuite a
representative crowd assembled
at Lamar on Saturday from dif
ferent sections of the County.
A number of candidates put In
an appearance, but the only one
of them who undertook to make
a regular speech was School
Commissioner Perritt. Mr. H.
C. Burn made a good address,
which was well received. Mr.
J. N. Parrott had a few words
to say in defense of the County
Democratic Executive Commit
tee, of which ho is chairman,
and which he says has been
harshly and unjustly criticised
in several particulars. The
meeting wasclosed with a speech
by the Rev. C. D. Mann in
which he strongly arraigne 1 the
Rev. John S. DuBose for the
part he charged the latter with
having taken in the movement
that was begun last fall for the
establishment of a dispensary
at Lamar. The candidates on
the “Reform ticket, No.2” de
clined to speak, and announced
through Mr. Beasley that they
had decided to withdraw from
the primary, so. the meeting
would have been a very tame
affair indeed but for what Mr
Mann had to say. Good order
prevailed throughout the entire
day, and everything passed off
quietly.
An Oil Refinery.
Extensive improvements are
to take place in the near future
in the plant of the Darlington
Phosphate Company. First of
all a forty-barrel refinery will
be added. The contract for it
has already been awarded, and
it will be begun on at once. This
refinery will add materially to
the profits of the concern, and
the directors of the company
have taken a wise step in deci
ding to have it. Definite ar
rangements have also been
made to increase the capacity
of the works by about one-
fourth, which will make it a
fifty-ton mill, the largest in the
State with the exception of the
two trust mills in Columbia.
The phosphate department of
the local company has been run
ning very satisfactorily ail the
year, ana they will be prepared
to put on the market for the
coming season a large lot of fer
tilizers of the very highest
grades.
The “Pythian Special.” a
handsome train composed en
tirely of Pullman cars, and hav
ing on board three companies
of the Uniform Rank, K. of P.,
two from Charleston and one
from Columbia, which were on
their way to Washington to at-[success,
tend the meetingof the Supreme
Of Interest to Knights of Pythias.
Mr. F. D. Foxworth, of La
mar, who is an ardent member
of the Order of Knights of
Pythias has been appointed a-
gent for the sale of a very hand
some picture of the late J. H.
Rathbone, the founder of the
Order, and will canvass Darling
ton at an early day to solicit or
ders for it. The price of the
picture is $1.50, a portion of
which sum goes to Mr.
Commissioner Perritt on Our Public
Schools.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
At your request I beg leave
to submit'for your considera
tion the followipg general re
port and suggestions:
Judging from the past, the
next year’s school fund will
amount to about thirteen thous
and ($13,000) dollars after de
ducting the rebates, treasurer’s
commission, and special school
taxes. In the beginning of the
scholastic year, J*ov 1, 1892, all
the school fund to be collected
had been spent except some
thing over four thousand ($4,-
000) dollars. The county will
have for the next year over nine
thousand ($9,000) dollars. This
shows that in two years five
thousand ($5,000) dollars of the
indebtedness has been paid. It
would be well to notice here
that the above figures are in
round numbers, but are suffi-
cently accurate to call your at
tention to the general status of
the public school fund. Sixty
seven schools were run three
and a half months for nine
thousand and twenty-eight
($9,028) dollars in the year 1892-
93. Seventy-seven schools were
run three and a half months for
nine thousand and forty-eight
.048) dollars in the year 1893-
94. ‘
We regret to note that so
many of our school buildings
are badly constructed and fail
to render teachers and pupils
needed comfort. . Our people do
not seem to realize as they
should that teacher and stud
ent must be made comfortable
in order to obtain satisfactory
results. Some of the schools
have an enrollment of eighty
students with an average at
tendance of fifty or sixty. One
school enrolled this year one
hundred and seventy students
with only one teacher. When
there are so many pupils under
one teacher it is utterbly im
possible to make any progress.
When our houses are so uncom
fortable that the students have
to stand in groups around the
fire to keep warm very little
can be accomplished.
In some townships there are
so many schools that the term
is necessarily short. Some of
these schools are within a mile
and a half or two miles of each
other. We have about six hun
dred square miles in Darlington
County. Now supposing fifty
square miles of their to bo in Pee
Dee and Lynch’s river swamps,
we have five hundred and fifty
square miles left. Divide this
into districts five miles square,
and we have twenty-two school
districts. Put two schools in
each district, and we have forty-
four schools.
The law of 1893 allows the
real estate owners together with
the county board of examiners
to set off such districts. It is
left optional, however, with the
real estate owners, and if the
special tax levy provided for in
this Act is made, each taxpay
er has the right to have same
appropriated to the school of
his own choosing. One of the
dangers of this law is that when
different communities by petit
ion fix these districts, other ad
joining communities might be
left in bad condition. For in
stance if a site five miles ,rom
the county line should be made
the center of a district, there
would be left on the county
line, a section two and a half
miles wide that could not be
provided for.
It is true, that new school
districts will necessitate the
sacrifice of some of the build
ings now in use. But when we
think of the inferiority of so
many of these buildings, we
naturally conclude that there is
no more propitious time for act
ing. If our people could see
that, bv adopting the new law
their schools could run from six
to eight months, and that the
tuition of one that does not own
real estate would be a dollar for
the whole year and that he
whose property is assessed at
one thousand dollars would pay
only seven dollars, they would
no longer hesitate. The true
intent of bringing these things
to your attention is to get our
people to studying our educa
tional interests, to prevent one
section imposing upon another,
and to get concert of action
throughout the country on the
subject of the formation of these
new school districts.
Respectfully submitted:

The writer had the pleasure
of attending the agricultural
meeting held at the Darlington
Fair Grounds on Aug. 14.
The low price of cotton and

continue until our agricultural
problems are solved and the
best methods for the Southern
farmer have been arrived at.

Bonnets of the Autumn.
For some time past, as the
hais has been worn rather high,
the inclination has been to wear
the bonnet well forward, writes
Isabel A. Mallon in a daintily-
illustrated article in the Septem
ber Ladies’ Home Journal. But
news from across the sea is that
the Bonnet will be worn suffi
ciently far back to show the ar
rangement of the front hair and
also to make the things seem
really a necessity. The shape
which is most favored is that
known as the Dutch cap, which
fits the head quite closely, after
the fashion of the velvet and
bead hats worn by the pretty
Dutch girls in some pictures.
Modernized, the cap reaches to
just above the ears, is quite flat
on top, and extends in the back
to midway of the head. It is
made of felt, of velvet, af cloth,
and occasionally, of moire The
prettiest and most becoming
ones are those made of velvet.
The decoration usually stands
high up, and is placed on top of
the little bonnet near the front;
there is a decided fancy for hav-
ing this decoration consist of
one large bird, although to car
ry out the idea of a Dutch cap
there is also shown, in velvet
and in glowing colors, bunches
tulips that suggest their being
very precious in the eyes of the
oldtime collector.

Enforcing The Dispensary Law.
Blackville, 8.C., August 26.
One of the bloodiest tragedies
ever enacted in South Carolina
was witnessed here yesterday
afternoon at 2.30 o’clock. Solo
mon Brown, an influential citi
zen, and John Gribben. a dis :
pensary constable, are corpses
as a consequence.
The double killing was the re
sult of an old feud between Grib
ben and tne Brown family.
Gribben went to the depot Mon
day and opened a case of dry
goods consigned to Solomon
Brown, ostensibly for the pur
pose of seizing contraband whis
key. Simon Brown, the father
of Solomon Brown met Gribben
on the streets yesterday after
noon and reproached him for
opening the package, accusing
him of persecution. The quarrel
waxked warm and Brown was
joined by his sons, Solomon, Is
adora, and Herman. Gribben
offered to fight any one of them
and Isadore, twenty-two years
old. accepted the challenge.
Gribben struck at him and
the blow was parried, and
Brown knocked Gribben down
At this juncture, pistols were
pulled and six or seven shots
were fired in quick succession.
Gribben was shot through the
left shoulder and near the heart.
He struggled into a store firing
at the Browns. A bullet struck
Solomon Brown, who fell half
way to the ground. Gribben
continued his firing and a ball
struck Solomon Brown’s head,
killing him instantly. Another
bullet penetrated h i s heart.
When Gribben’s pistol was
emptied he walked through the
store intp the back yard where
he fell and died in ten minutes.
There was a general fusilade
and it is asserted that others
were engaged in it besides the
principals.
Some contend that Coroner
H. P. Dycher, who was stand
ing in a store at the time, fired
the shot that killed y oungBrown.
The coroner proceeded to hold
an inquest, however, but the
sheriff arrived in the midst of it
and arrested him ou a charge
of having been an accessory.
Trial Justice Hammett then em
panelled a jury and took testi
mony in relation to Gibben’s
death. The verdict was that he
was killed by Herman Brown
and that Simon and Isadore
Brown were accessories before
and after the fact. The inquest
over young ^Brown’s remains
will be held to day.

A Full fledged Alliance Ticket
[From the Sumter Freeman.]
The Freeman wishes to see a
full-(Hedged Alliance candidate
for the United States Senate and
will give him the most ardent
supp >rt, and a full fledged Alli
ance ticket from Governor
down, that the relative strength
of Tillmanism and the Alliance
may be tested and the respec
tive places and purposes of the
two organizations made clear to
all. The conflict between the
two is irrepressible and in the
ulimate victory of the Alliance
we have every confidence. Let
“the battle royal” open at the
earliest day possible is our mot
to. The earlier now the better
for the Alliance.

(Columbia Cor., News and Courier.)
Governor and Mrs. Tillman
were receiving congratulations
