Good Bicycle Time.
We stated last week that the
early morning freight from
Hartsville connected with “no
where”, our authority being the
printed slip sent out by the rail
road people, whenever a change
is made, for the information of
the editors interested. Bnt it
turns out that our authority
was in error—said train does
connect with something at
Florence, namely, with a freight
train going in the direction of
Sumter. So, as it turns out,
passengers leaving here on the
early morning train can gd
through to Columbia after al 1 .
Its a full six houis’ trip though
—an average of about fifteen
miles an hour—a pretty good
bicycle gait, but not much of a
one for a railroad train in the
last decade of the XIX Century.
Welch Neck High School.
The opening exercises of
We’ch Neck High School will
take place at Hartsville, on

Coker; Acceptance o f trust,
Rev. 1). W. Key: Address by
Rev. M. M. Riley, D. D., Presi
dent of Greenville Female Col
lege. The exercises promise to
be very interesting, as marking
the inauguration of an enter
prise that will have a decided
effect upon the future history of
Darlington County, and the
attendance will doubtless be
large.

A Unique Novelty.
A novelty which all who have
seen it pronounce one of the
most unique designs ever got
ten out is a glass paper weight
for use on an office desk which
the Darlington Guards have
had made, and which they now
have on sale at their Armory
at the price of fifty cents each.
The paper-weight contains a
picture of the Company’s prize
squad, members of which have
won five first prizes, aggregat
ing $725. A view of the new
Armory building is to be had in
the back ground. On the back
of the picture is a printed slip
containing a full explanation of
it. A substantial box, suitable
for use in sending the weight
To Effect a Reconciliation.
A meeting composed of two
delegates from every township
in the County, one from each
political faction, was held >n the
Court House on Monday, its
purpose being to endeavor to
“bring the two sides together”.
The meeting was tolorably well
attended. As a result of it, the
following address was issued on
Monday afternoon:
To The Democratic Party of
Darlington County.
We, the undersigned, with the
object of reuniting our fellow
Democrats,who have beendivid
ed by designing politicans, un
der the banner of pure Democ

that all Democrats, regardless
of factional differences do come
together upon the platform of
1876, to the end that our-County
and State be redeemed from the
rule of the political ring now in
existence by nominating good,
true and patriotic men for office,
and that all Democrats who are
willing to unite with us to this
end, assemble together in their
respective townships at the us
ual places of meeting on Friday
next, the 14th. inst., at4 o’clock
P. M., and elect one delegate to
represent eve r y twenty-five
names, or fractional part there
of, of members on the club rolls
presented at said meeting, to a
County Convention to be held

OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
CYPRESS.
The farmers are all busy pick
ing cotton.
Mr. J. A. DuBose spent Sun
day on Sullivan’s Island.
Mr. A. B. DuBose went to
Charleston Monday on busi
ness.
Miss Rollins, of Florence, is
on a visit to Mrs. Sallie Du
Bose.
We are glad to see Mr. H. J.
DuBose out again after a long
illness.
Mr. George Lee, of Lydia,
was on a visit to the family of
Dr. J. M. Josey last week.
Messrs. J. A. Graham and L.
E. DuBose, of Ashland, spent
Saturday and Sunday with us.
Mr. J. L McLendon has been
elected principal of the school
at this place. He is well quali
fied for the position, and the
choice of the trustees was a
wise one.
A very pleasant sociable was
given at the residence of Mrs.
R. E. Huggins last Thursday
evening. A large crowd of
young people were present, and
they all had a fine time.
Mr. Charlie McLendon has
one to Darlington to clerk for
'essrs. McCall & Burch. They
were lucky to secure his servi-
ces, as he is a good business
man and a first rate salesman.
Messrs C. F. DuBose and B. L.
Hains, who have been employed
in Columbia recently, returned
home last week. Mr. DuBose
will leave next week for Geor
gia, where he expects to take a
course in telegraphy and book
keeping.
Mr. J. A. DuBose says he will
pay as much cash for cotton as
any buyer in the county, wheth
er he be in town or country.
He is also prepared to compete
with any other merchant in the
county on the price of groceries
and general merchandise of all
kinds.
We believe that Cypress can
boast of having the best equip
ped cotton-gins of any place in
the County. Messrs. Parnell &
Josey have two large Winship
gins, in fine condition, and
guarantee satisfaction to their
patrons. Mr. W. J. DuBose al
so has a large Winship gin. He
runs in connection with itamo-
lases mill and a grist mill, and
will soon add a rice-pounder to
his outfit.

A Bad Schedule.
[Hartsville Messenger.]
Some people will find fault
whether there is anything going
wrong or not, but those who
travel on tne Hartsville train
have a just cause, we think, to
grumble a little at present. The
train now leaves Hartsville at
4.30 a. m. in order to make con
nection at Florence with the
train going out over the Man
chesterft; Augusta road. Re
turning, thetrain reaches Harts-
ville at 9:10, as heretofore. The
Coast Line authorities are de
termined to have a good sched
ule between Florence and Au
gusta, and this side of Florence
will haue to put up with what
ever they can get in the way of
travelling facilities.

A Deserved Promotion.
(Hartsville Messenger)
Mr. C. D. Gandy, who
has
been depot agent and telegraph
operator at Floyd’s for the past
two years, has been promoted,
and now has charge of the “up
town” office of the Western Un
ion, in Florence. This is an ex
cellent position and pays quite
a handsome salary. Mr. Gandy
labored faithfully at Floyd’s for
two years, where his immediate
surroundings were anything but
pleasant, without complaining,
and his promotion was highly
deserved. Mr. Gandy carries
with him the best wishes of his
many friends in this county.
Mr. Willie Cooper, who has been
the assistant agent at Harts
ville, for some time, has taken
Mr. Gandy’s place at Floyd's.
Killed at Buchheit's Crossing.
[Florence Messenger, Sept. / ]
A colored youth, named Frank
Davis, step son of John Hayes,
was crushed to death at Buch-
heit’s crossing, last night, by
train No. 23, going to Charles
ton. He was riding around the
curve, a dangerous amusement,
which a great many boys, both
white and colored, indulge in
every evening. When he jump
ed off the train he made the fa
tal mistake of jumping on a pile
of gravel by the roadside. He
was thrown under the train and
mangled in a manner too horri
ble to describe. Death was, of
course, instantaneous, This
should be a warning to ithe boys
who enjoy this dangerous form
of pastime. It is the sec >nd
death at this crossing within
the past year.

Bad For Darlington.
[News and Courier, Sept. 8.]
Judge Simonton sent down
yesterday from Flat Rock an
opinion and order for judgment
in the Atlantic Trust Company,
of New York, vs the town of
Darlington, S. C. The verdict
is for the plaintiff in the sum of
$6,873.60 and costs.
The bonds to which the cou
pons sued on in this case case
belongs were executed for the
purpose of completing and
equipping a railroad from Sum
ter via Darlington to Bennetts-
vill, there to meet a northern
connection. This railroad has
been built, equipped and is in
operation. The northern con
nection has been effected. The
bonds were delivered.
The single question of law in
the case was: Are those bonds
valid obligations of the town of
Darlington? The defense claim
ed that the town had no author
ity under the Constitution to is
sue the bonds. It was argued
that the amount of bonds, $73.-
000, exceeded 8 per cent of the
taxable property of Darlington.
This was not proven and the
Court found for plaintiff as sta
ted above.
Judge B. C. Pressley, one of
the most distinguished lawyers
and judges in the State, died at
his home at Summerville last
week, at the advanced age of
eighty years.
State Crop Report.
Director Bauer has issued the
following circular as to the
weather and crop condition:
The week ending September
10 was a very hot one, with an
average daily excess over the
normal of from 4° to 6°. The
highest temperature reported
was 96° at various places; the
lowest 65° at Longshore on the
4th and 6th.
There was about 80 per cent,
of the possible sunshine, the
sky having been almost clear
during the four last days of the
week and partly cloudy on the
previous days.
Cotton picking has become
general over the entire State,
and was favored by the hot, dry
weather, which permitted un
interrupted labor, as well as
causingthe bolls toopen rapidly.
The yield continues to appear
disappointing, and the general
opinion, of correspondents is,
for causes already stated, the
crop will not come up to early
estimates. In addition to the
reports of shedding and rust
previously given, boll worms
have appeared in Newberry and
Edgefield counties. There will
be no top crop on sandy land; at
other places asmall middle crop,
w T hile in general the cropisfrom
one week to ten days late. The
hot sunshine seems to have ef
fectually checked rotting.
The corn crop-is all made and
is being housed in places; the
new corn is now used generally
for feeding. The heat is favor
able, as it thouroughly ripens
and hardens the grain on the
stalk. The fodder has about all
been secured in fine condition
and is an abundant supply.
Other forage crops, such as pea-
vine hay and grasses, are also
heavy crops and are being cut
under favorable weather cond-
tions.
The rice harvest is said to be
well in hand now; in some coun
ties the largest crop ever known
is being harvested, while the
yield in general is very satisfac
tory. So far the weather has
been all that could be desired
for securing the crop and it will
soon be beyond danger of injury
from unfavorable weather.
Early peas are ripening and
bsing picked. The pea crop will
be a large one in acreage and
prospective yield.
The turnip crop has. general
ly, attained a good stand and is
growing off nicely. Sweet po
tatoes are not uniform in regard
to condition, being an abundant
crop in sections, while other
E laces report a plenty of vine
ut lack of tuber growth. Gar
den products continue plentiful,
except cabbages, which are rot
ting badly.
The truck farming industry,
in the coast counties, was affec
ted favorably by the past week’s
weather and the fall crops of
vegetables fruits and berries
are doing very well.
Soaghum is being gathered
and made into syrup; the yield,
as reported, isfrom fair to very
good, running an average of
ninety gallons to the acre in
Fairfield County.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc
tion City, 111. was told by her
doctors she had Consumption
and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles Dr. King’s
New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved
her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139
Florida St. San Francisco, suf
fered from a dreadful* cold, ap
proaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else
then bought one bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery and in
two weeks was cured. He is nat
urally thankful. It is such re
sults, of which these are sam
ples, that prove the wonderful
efficacy ot this medicine in
Coughs and Colds. Free trial

Store. Regular size 50c. and
