Our Florence Friends. [Reported for Thk Nkws.] On Friday night the Florence Dramatic Troupe gave the “Factory Girl” at the Opera House. The plav is not one of much depth of plot, but, for the most part, was well acted. The scene is laid in a factory town, where the eldest son of the mill owner falls in love with Martha Gibbs, a factory girl. The father, who has sent one of the sons to Oxford, and has high ambitions for his family, is out raged by what he is silly enough to regard as a seeming disgrace, and threatens to cast off the of fending son. Meanwhile, the younger son is married to a (laughter of a peer of the realm. The parts sustained by “Jasper Plum” and “The Factory Girl” were admirably played. The love scene between “Martha Gibbs” and “Stephen Plum” was a most natural one, and in it “Martha” showed that she has a proper conception of what actjng is. In fact, far worse playing from professionals has been seen on this stage more than once. “Martha” captured the house and well deserved all the applause she got. “Jaspar { ’lum” makes a capital heavy ather, which part he played with much skill and ease. Lady Leatherbridge was a most suc cessful schemer, and seemed as much at home on the boards as if she had been there all her lile. The general verdict was that the Florence Dramatic Troupe is a good one, and we wish them all success. They will be always welcome in Dar lington. We hear that they have other plays in rehearsal, apd we trust that they will at strtne future day give us the ben- » Mr. J. E.

It was deligntful to see how well the little child ren of the Sunday School per formed their parts in the vari ous exercises. Little tots of five and six years spoke before the large audience so as to be dis tinctly understood. The music was very much enjoyed, as well as the recitations. The Super intendent and others deserve much credit for their excellent training. The large crowd pre sent seemed much pleased with the entire programme. Florence^jg^ PHILADELPHIA. Mr. J. Jeffords and family, of Darlington, spent Sunday with relatives at this place. Messrs. T. W. and P. A. Truett have returned from a trip to Williamsburg county. The storm of last week did considerable damage to cotton in this section. It seems that every year the inducement is greater to stop raising so much cotton Ram began on the 25th in portions of the State, was gen eral and heavy on the 26th and 2?th, en^ed gradually ofl thei and Mrs. Bowie and their Monday was salesday: th< re were no official sales, but thqro a friend in New York! was a crowd in town and cottqn just poured in, so that it began to look like old times. alking From A special agent of the cele brated Bell Telephone Co, in town yesterday for the pur pose of organizing a local tele phone exchange which may re sult in uniting Darlington with New York by a telephone wire If as many as fifteen local ?sub> scribers are obtained, a wire would be run to unite this place with Florence, and the line will be extended ultimately to con nect with Sumter and Colum bia, which are on the great tele phone line now being projected between Now York and Atlan ta. Think of sitting down in Darlington and conversing with Wanted, by a young man of good habits, a position as sten ographer, type-writer and for general office work. Address “W” care of this office. Mr. J. Clarence Bristow left yesterday morningforBay City, Mich., his future home. He was accompanied by his broth er, Mr. George A. Bristow.

Mr. R. C. Starr, Jr., who has been - employed lately on the Florence Times, takes charge this week of the Florence Mes senger fMr. Hammond’s paper The Killing Justified. Ancrum Needham, The 'color ed man of the Una neighbor hood whom we mentioned in our last issue as being struck on the head by Mr. H. B Best, died from the effects of the wound on Monday, the 22nd. An in quest held by Trial Justice Jo- sey showed that the skull was crushed, and in the testimony it appears that Needham was armed with a pistol and a knife, and that Mr. Best struck the fatal blow in self defense. The coroner’s jury found that “the said Ancrum Needham came to his death by a blow with a piece of plank in the hands of one H. B. Best, it being justifiable hom icide.” This unique verdict of a coroner's jury seems to have operated in the nature of an ac quittal of Mr. Best, as the mat ter has ended here. Those in need of buggy and wagon harness would do well to call at John Siskron's shop, as he is selling it off at cost. Florence’* Appreciation. Editor Darlington News: The members of the Florence Amateur Dramatic Club have icquested me to tender to the people of your town their sin* cere thanks antf deep apprecia tion of the more than hearty re ception extended to our play, “The Factory Girl,” on the 28th ult. Also to the citizens to whose kind energies we were endobted for certain special at tentions, which were large ly en hanced by being entirely un locked for on our part. Will you kindly grant us the privilege of a little space in your valuable columns, for the above slight expression of our thanks. W. M. Brown, Manager. Florence Amateur Dramatic Club. 1$tbt a -T>*..^V.ri-e light scat showers, with generally clearing weather, on the 29th. The beginning and ending of the rainy weather marked the duration of a West Indian hur ricane, whose centre skirted the South Carolina coast on the 26th and 27th. with gales over the entire State, but most severe along the coast and second tier of counties, where the rainfall was extraordinarily heavy, ranging from eight inches at Binopolis to less amounts to wards the interior and about an inch in the northwest counties. Very few streams overflowed their banks, but heavy damage resulted from the combined force of the rain and high winds, which reacned an extreme ve- losity of sixty miles per hour at Charleston and probably a greater rate at Statesburg. Cotton and late corn, peas, rice and grasses were beaten to the B round, and in Richland and rangeburg counties it is repor ted that trees were uprooted by the violence of the wind. Rice suffered most severely, having been somewhatdamagedby high tides and by fresh water. Much of it was in stacks, which were more or less scattered and satu rated, entailing a great deal of labor to dry the grain to prevent sprouting. The aggregate damage from this storm is, however, much less than that caused by the historic storm of August, 1893. This year’s storm was less se vere, the tides were not as high, and, owing to having occurred later in the season, a smaller percentage of the crop remain ed in the field ungathered. The force of the wind did not decrease to the same extent as did the rainfall from the coast towards the northwestern coun ties, and consequently the dam age to corn and peas, but more particularly to cotton, was al most general over the entire State. The percentage of dam age to cotton in the fields is, variously estimated from 6 to 20 per cent, an average of all the estimates making some what under 10 per cent. Green bolls were broken off very freely. Many, if not the greater portion, of the open bolls were more or less stained, and where the stalk remains green the damp, cloudy weather caus es an increase of rust and boll worms, which late in the week again appeared in injurious numbers in some counties Picking was greatly hindered by the unfavorable weather, but will be pushed rapidly from now on as tne weather permits, as the bolls are opening very fast, some, it is thought, premature ly. Sea island cotton suffered more from the storm than the short staple varieties. The rain was beneficial in the north, central and western counties for late root crops such as turnips and sweet po tatoes, and also for gardens, and kept grass green for pas turage.

Mann will preach his famous sermon on the modes of baptism at Cypress Church on next Sunday morning. Our farmers are blue over their storm-beaten cotton. Some say that as much as three hun dred pounds to the acre has been blown out. LAMAR. Miss Sue Carter is at school in Cheraw. Miss Hattie Starr, of Colum bia, is visiting relatives at this place. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Starr lost their only child, Lurline, aged one year, a few days ago. They have the sympathy of the entire community. Rev. C. D. Mann preached a lengthy sermon on baptism at this place last Sunday; Rev. G. T. Gresham will preach on the same subject next Sunday af ternoon. During the gale of last Wed nesday night the frame of the Baptist Church was blown down; in clearing away the de bris it was found that more than half of the timber was broken. The Baptists do not seem discouraged; they are go ing right to work to rebuild. CLYDE. The rice crop is being harvest ed. Mrs Abuer Goodson is quite sick, also Mrs. J. A. Smith Mrs. J. L.

Black Creek has broken the record: it is twelve inches high £or style and neatness The Darlington News job-work is unsurpassed. Don’t take our word for it, see samples and be er than the’ “oldest Inhabitant” convinced, Mr. Law’s Farewell Sermon, [Reported for Tns News 1 On Sunday last, Rev. J. Gor don Law, who for the past fif teen years has been the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Darlington, preached his fare well sermon before leaving for his new charge in Ocala, Flori- iia. The church was crowded with the congregations of the other churches in town, who had gathered to show their re spect and affection for the min ister who had for so many years labored faithfully among them, knowing and treating each as friends and brethren. The choir sang as a voluntary “Nearer my God to Thee.” The loThis ‘texT ords of the Apostle as found in the Second Epistle to the Cor inthians, 14th chapter, 11th ver se: “Finally, brethren, farewell; be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace.” The relation between Pastor and people in the Presbyterian Church can be severed only in two ways: by the action of the Presbytery, or by death. Had the speaker a choice, he would have preferred the latter; would have preferred to have the kind friends among whom he had labored so long to minister to him at the last, and to have been laid away under the shad ows of the trees in the church yard at Darlington. On the third Sunday in May, 1879, he had taken charge here, and had continued his ministry until to day. With this sermon would end his pastorate. He gave a history of his service as pastor, speaking of the growth of the church smee he came here, the number of accessions, the num ber baptized, losses by removal, losses by death, contributions to the cause of missions, &c., and stated among other things, that he had preached 2,344 sermons during his ministry here. “My purpose,” said he, “is not to play upon the feelings of anyone here, but rather to use the words of the Apostle as my parting counsel to you. ‘Final ly’ comes at last to all of us. How should we live in view of the responsibility of that final reckoning which must come sooner or later? We are mem bers of the family of God, and such should be every thought of life, that we should be worthy of that relationship. This fam ily is one day to be reunited where there will be no more di vision. Here the farewell must be spoken: there, there is no parting. The counsel which I give to you to-day is perfect, perfect in him in whom there is ‘no shadow of turning.’ Strive for perfection in your life. You cannot reach the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus un less you aim high, and unless you aim high you will never strike bigh. Your aim should be to live in tho likeness of God. Our business is to strive after the perfect likeness to God. This is the standard placed before us, and we must strive after the attainment of it until we stand m the presence of God. Even the longest life is not too long for this work. Milton carried the plan of ‘Paradise Lost’ in his mind for twenty years. He did not begin to write it until he was fifty years of age. Be of good comfort. You fear that you can never reach the stand ard, it is too high, but we are being used to carry out God’s purpose in our lives. ‘Be of one mind.’ Preserve ‘the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace’. Live in peace. That means live in peace with God, but we cannot live in peace with God, unless we are in peace with men. There is but one way accept the conditions laid down by the Lord Jesus Christ, and live at peace with God. The price of that peace was paid eighteen hundred years ago; we have orly to accept the condi tions. Then God will be with you; that is the promise, and in this, my last word to you, I cannot too closely impress this upon you. His promise is given; he will do his part, you must do yours. His promise is that you shall share his glory where there is no sin, nor death, nor parting, no farewell is said there. In saying the parting word now I must thank all the kind friends of Darlington, who, from time to time, have been so thoughtful of me, and especial ly the young men. My earnest prayer to God is that they may all come and enlist under the banner of the cross, giving their youth to the service of the mas ter. Mr. Law spoke a few words of farewell to Mr. Carlisle who was in the pulpit, and then he asked that he should have the prayers of all present when he should go out from among them to his new and untried field of labor. During the collection a chorus of male voices sang, “God be with you ’till we meet again.” The services throughout were very impressive, and many pre sent were deeply touched. An unusually large congregation was in attendance to hear the parting words of this popular pastor All the other churches in town were closed for the oc casion, and the very aisles of the church were crowded with chairs provided for the accom modation of those who could not find seats in the pews.
