Side-Tracked By the Coaat Line.
The Atlantic Coast Line has
gotten Darlington on a side
track at last, as far, at least, as
it was in the power of that road
to accomplish it. By the new
schedule which went into effect
on Monday, the Hartsville train
leaves that place at 4.30 A. M.
(an hour earlier than formerly)
passes Darlington at 5.25 and
reaches Florence at C. It con
nects practically with “no
where," as the train for Char
leston leaves Florence at 3.10 in
the morning at 7.45 in the even
ing, while those bound for Col
umbia leave at 3.16 A. M. and
7.35 P. M. The only train,
therefore, that the people of
Darlington can make use of in
going to either of the cities
named is the mixed train which
passes here at 6.06 P. M., and
that would necessitate their be
ing absent from home all night
The trains still run through
from Charleston and Columbia
to Florence in the afternoon,
connecting there with the Harts
ville freight.

An Important Organization.
The Farmers’ Mutual Fire In
surance Association is a corpor
ation allowed in every county
in the State by an Act of the
Legislature passed in 1892. Its
purpose is to provide the farm
ers with safe cheap insurance,
and it bids fair to become one of
| the leading institutions of the
times. The Darlington County
Association was organized about
ten months ago, with Mr. Lucas
McIntosh as President and Mr.
‘Bright Williamson as Secretary
and Treasurer. Insurance to the
amount of $150,000 has already
been taken out in this County.
An important meeting of the
Darlington County Association
was held on Monday last, when
it was decided to call for an as-
Beauty At The Bat.
Not many miles from Darling
ton and not many days ago,
while the recent base-ball fever
was at its very height, occupy
ing a position where we could
“see and not be seen”, we had
the good fortune to be present
at a contest in the National pas
time such as is vouchsafed only
to the favored few to witness in
this world. We were on a visit
to a farmer whose daughters, to
gether with some other young
ladies that were visiting them,
made up the two contending
teams. Bright and healthy look
ing young women they were, and
they gave abundant evidence,
in the way the wielded the bat,
of what they will be able to do
with the “ball-headed ei d of a
broom” if they are ever called
upon to handle one in that
way. But the throwing was
bad, very bad. We have often
heard the expression, “like a
woman throws a rock at a hen”:
we understand now what it
means.
The game progressed famous
ly until the last inning, when
an incident occured which was
a little out of the ordinary, to
say the least of it. The score
was even, there were two out
and three on bases, when the
man” at the bat knocked a
“sky-scraper” to left field. At
this unpropitious moment for
making a toilet, the left fielder’s
back-hair came down and she
had both hands up to her head
and her mouth full of hair-pins
indeavoring to repair the dam
age when the fiy came: she got
it, but it was where “the chick
en got the axe”. And then she
squealed; oh, myl how she
squealed!
But there were some very
commendable features about the
way the game was conducted.
There was no betting, for one
thing—that is, there was none
around the “grand stand”,
though there’s no telling how
much chewing-gum may have
changed happy owners over the
varying issues of the game be
hind the large oak trees that
served as bases. And then it
was so refreshing to hear no
guying of the pitcher and no
“kicking” against the umpire.
When played in this way the
singular apnropriateness of the
name of the game, base-ball, is
easily lost sight of.
Parts for repairing McCormick
mowers kept in stock by Wel
ling & Bonnoitt, agents.

A Big •■Break”.
The tobacco “break” yester
day, which marked the opening
of the new season, was one of
the biggest things Darlington
has seen in many a day. Mes
srs. Sydnor & Tredway, thenew
lessees of the warehouse, are
“hustlers” in every sense of the
terra. They had made a tho
rough personal canvass of this
entire section of the State, and,
as a result, every square foot of
the enormous warehouse was
covered with piles of the weed
The place was literally packed
with people. The^y came from
every section of Darlington and
Florence Counties, while six
teen heavily loaded wagons
were brought in all the way
from Clarendon County. There
were ten buyers in all, and they
made things “fairly hum”. It
was a stirring sight. Thirty
five thousand pounds were sold
The general quality of the weed
was very good, the average
price paid being about 12 cents
a pound, though some of the
best quality brought as much as
$50 a hundred. The checks
paid out amounted to somethin]
like $4,000. There were a g«
manv present who could not
find room for their tobacco on
the floor. These will take their
chances to-day, and it is proba
ble that the sales will continue
brisk for several days to come.
A large extension is being added
to the packing house on the C.
S. & N. tract: for the use of
Messrs. J. R. Bowles & Co , of
Danville, Va., who expect to do
a long proportion of the busi-
nes here this season. With
such live men as are in charge
of the warehouse, the tobacco
industry is going to prove a
great thing for the Town and
County of Darlington, and, m
fact, for this entire section of
the State.

Girls Their Own Helpers.
The ways in which a girl may
help herself—her future, if not
her present self—are many, and
each and all of them practical
to the last doing, writes Mrs.
Hamilton Mott in the Septem
ber Ladies’ Home Journal. Tne
division of her day into a rou
tine may seem a matter of but
slight importance, but the best
division of the busy day of a
housekeeper, a business woman
or of the woman of large social
duties is of vast importance and
comfort or discomfort to its di
vider. A regular time for aris
ing, which will permit the prop
er dressing of one’s self, and
the undressing of one’s bed and
airing one’s room before the
breakfast hour, is a mater of
habit which, when established
in girlhood, becomes of the
greatest use in later years. The
apportionment of the morning
hours—as these are least liable
to interruption—to domestic du
ties, study or practice, and to
any church or charitable work
necessary, will leave the after
noon free for receiving or mak
ing calls, for outdoor exercise,
and for amusements or duties
which are only occasional. The
habit—for this is what it be
comes—of constantly endeavor
ing to make of whatever place a
girl finds herself temporary or
permanent mistress, a tidy and
pretty abode, occupies many
minutes, but they are wellspent
ones.
King Corn.
[Clinton Gazette.]
For once in many long years
corn is king and not cotton as
has been the case in South Car
olina. The fields, once white
with the flecy bolls, are at pres
ent aglow with the richness of
golden ears—a happy transition
from what has proved t > be the
financial wreck and ruin of the
farmers of this section, rich in
its capability to produce and
bloom as the rose. Cotton has
long been king; and has ruled
his impoverished subjects with
the might and main of the
haughty monarch in his peace
less realm. As such he has had
his day. * * * Corn i s king.
South Carolina, rejoice and be
glad! Within your borders, and
more especially throughout this
God-favored Piedmont section
in which we love to dwell, we
have this year the most abun
dant crop of the golden cereal
perhaps ever grown on Caroli
na’s soil. The barns will now
be filled with plenty and fields
rejoice because of the true rota
tion in its perfect materializa
tion. In brief and plain lan
guage, it is without exception
the finest corn crop we have yet
seen grow in this ordinarily fer
tile section, formerly one of the
strongholds o f the late King
Cotton.
A New Game Law.
From the following game law,
which was passed at the last
session of the Legislature, it
will be seen that it is unlawful
to hunt anything at this season
except deer and doves:
“The open season for deer ex
tends from September 1 to Feb
ruary 1, except in the counties
of Clarendon, Georgetown, Col
leton, Williamsburg, Marlboro,
Kershaw, Horry, Darlington,
Marion and.Berkeley, where it is
August 1 to February 1. Wild
turkeys, ruffed grouse, wood
cocks and quails or partridges,
November 1 to April 1. Doves,
August 1 to March 1. Non-res
idents are prohibited from hunt
ing and fishing within the State
without a license from the coun
ty commissioners, but any land
holder can permit any person to
hunt within the boundaries
of his own land. All persons
are deemed non-residents who
have not resided in the State
one year.”
Extra Session of the Supreme Court.
[Colaiuhia Coi., News and Courier.]
The Supreme Court has been
called to decide the validity of
the dispensary law of 1893.
Chief Justice Mclver has writ
ten that after consultation with
the other membprs of the Court,
and in consideration of the im-
S srtance of the matter, that the
ourt had agreed to meet as
soon as the agreement could be
made between the counsel en
gaged to submit the appeal at
an extra session of the Supreme
Court. The papers have been
prepared and theagreement will
signed to-day. Whib it is not
known exactly when the Court
will meet, it is generally expect
ed, for some reason, that it will
assemble here about the 10th of
the month to take up the dis
pensary cases. The Aiken and
Greenville cases, which by con
sent, will involve the constitu
tionality of the law, will be
made bases of the arguments.
It is possible that the entire
argument will not take over a
day. So far as can be learned
the only counsel engaged in the
cases are those originally en
gaged.

The Weather and the Crops.
The State Weather Bureau has
the following to say about the
condition of the crops for the
week ending yesterday:
Cotton bolls are returning and
opening rapidly, and picking
has by this time become gener
al. As nearly all fields have
been gone over, the actual con
dition of the fields can be judg
ed, for instance, the fruitage
and the damage by shedding
and rust, and the rotting of
bolls. Shedding and rust are
not as general as heretofore, al
though the reports of damage
from those sources continue,
particularly from localities hav
ing a sandy soil, where, also,
there is no top crop making,
growth having stopped. On
stiffer or heavier soil the plant
has attained a very rank growth
of weed, but the fruitage is defi
cient, owing, it is thought, to
the very rapid growth of the
plant after the July rains began.
This luxuriant growth of weed
has given the crop a deceptive
appearance heretofore, and its
aggregate condition must be
placed at considerably less than
an average crop. There is con
siderable and quite general
complaint of rotting of bolls
near the ground.
The late corn crop is fast ma
turing and will not yield as well
as the early planted, but it is
nevertheless a fair crop. Fod
der is about all gathered and in
a very good condition.
Considerable hay was made
during the past week under fav
orable weather conditions, al
though the showers in the fore
part of the week drenched some
newly cut grass, injuring it
slightly.
Peas are beginning to make
pods and are doing very well.
Some peavine hay has been
cut.
The rice harvest is still under
way and the yield is most en
couraging for a good average.
Shipments ot new rice have al
ready been made to Northern
markets.
The yield of sweet potatoes is
large, but the growth of the tu
ber was so rapid that many are
split, and a dry rot has affected
the crop in places.
Rutabagas and other varieties
of turnips are growing finely
where a good stand was obtain
ed, which was generally the
case.
A large portion of the cabbage
crop has rotted, but other sea
sonable garden products are
plentiful, having been favored
by the weather.
On the whole the past week’s
weather was favorable for grow
ing and maturing crops.
The Dispensary Tragedy.
[News and Courier.]
Aiken, September 1.—A mo
tion for bail was heard to day
by Judge Aldrich in the cases
of the State against Simon
Brown, Isadore Brown and Her
man Brown and the case of the
State against H. P. Dyches,
growing out of the Blackville
tragedy. The Browns were
represented by Mr. D. S. Hen
derson, Robert Aldrich and
Charles Carroll Simms. Mr.
Dyches by Mr. S. G. Mayfield
and W. H, Townsend. Solici
tor Bellinger represented the
State. Bail was granted each
of the Browns in the sum of
$5,000 and to H. P. Dyches in
that of $2,000. H. C. L.
Death of Mr. H. A. Mims.
[Columbia State.]
Cartersville, Sept. 1.—Mr.
H. A. Mims, a very prominent
and highly respected citizen,
president of the Y. M. C. A.
and superintendent of the Sun-
lay school of this place, died at
his residence yesterday morn
ing at 8 30 o’clock, after about
a week's illness. He leaves a
wife and two children and many
friends to mourn his loss. Mr.
Mims was loved by all who
knew him, and we regret very
much to lose a man whose place
in Christian work very few
could fill.
A Cotton Pickers’ Combine,
[News and Courier.]
Lane’s, 8. C., September 2.-
It seems that tnere is a commit
tee of emissaries pervading the
lower part of this State, whose
duty it is to organize the negro
es into clubs and put them in a
shape to demand 50 cents in
cash for every one hundred
poundsofeotton picked. All mem
bers take an oath to abide by
this law, and they threaten to
thrash members or non-mem
bers who act otherwise. A
gentleman arriving from Gour-
din’s to-day reports that the ne
groes there and in a community
a little lower on the Santee re
fuse to work with suffering
fields of cotton before them. He
says they have been stirred up
by secret agents or else no
trouble would have occurred,
as the most of them are in want.
Capt. Gordon accompanied this
gentleman back to make out
charges against the conspirators
and have them arrested. Each
club is presided over by a pre
sident and addressed frequent
ly by many speakers.
Parler’s, August 30.—There
came very near being a race
riot here on yesterday. Four
teen of the cotton picking
strikers were arrested and com
mitted to jail by O. B. Whitsell,
trial justice. Two of the pri
soners turned State’s evidence
and were released on bail, and
when the others were ordered
to march to the depot a mob of
about one hundred and fifty ne
groes collected and refused to
let them go. Then the sheriff
was notified and the Governor
was telegraphed to for the San
tee Rifle Company, but by the
time the rifle company got to
gether the mob, suspecting
something, permitted the pri
soners to be carried to the de
pot. Ten constables left on the
5.20 train with the ten prison
ers, and by sunset everything
was quiet and last night there
was not a negro to be seen.
Death of the Oldest Engineer.
[Nows and Courier.]
Augusta, September 3. Hen
ry G. Ray worth, the oldest loco
motive engineer in America,
died here last night, aged 83.
Rayworth was born in Charles
ton in 1811, He was the first en
gineer on the South Carolina
Railway, and ran as engineer

The News at Timmonsville.
[Columbia Register.]
Florence, Sept. 1 —The pre
liminary examination of Jos.
Jones and W. E. Jordan, charg
ed with the breaking up of the
Timmonsville Dispensary on
March 30 last, was heard before
Trial Justice Atkinson at Tim
monsville to-day, W. F. Clay
ton representing the State and
P. A. Willcox and W. W. Hur-
sey the defendants. Jones was

next term of court, and the case
against Jordan was dismissed.
Dr. J. O. Byrd was in Flor
ence on Friday and swore out a
warrant for iminal libel
against John d. Capers of Col
umbia. The case will bo heard
