LOCAL LACOMCS. MATTERS IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF DARLINGTON. A Column of News, Tersely Told, of Interest to Our Many Readers. Dr. P. E. Griffin has moved into the McFall house on Broad Street. Chief of Police A. E. Dargan is out again after a very severe illness. We are glad to be able to re port that Mr. W. D. Coggeshall is better. The County Alliance will meet at Flinn’s Cross Roads on the 25th inst. The regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Darlington was held on Tues day. Mr. George H. Edwards has moved into the house belonging to the Misses Williamson on Broad Street. Saleday passed off with com parative quiet, though there was an immense crowd in town —the largest that has been here in many a day. Just received, at the Dar lington Shoe Store, a new sup ply of Young's celebrated stiff and Alpine hats, in the new blocks; prices, $3 and $4. Gorton’s Minstrels appeared at the Opera House on Friday night. They were very fine in deed—the best thing that has been here in many a day. The Town Council have pas sed an Ordinance, which is pub lished in another column, pro hibiting the sale of “blind tiger” liquor within the corporate lim its of this municipality. The Tobacco Warehouse has reopened, and is now running on full time, and the best of prices are being paid, all of the buyers having returned from their Christmas vacation. Mesf-s. Carl W. Hill and J. B. Waddill, the young men who went to Citra, Fla., some time ago, have returned on account of the terrible freeze which kill ed all the fruit in that State. Mr. W. A. Blizzard, of Sav age, Florence County, has mov ed to Darlington, and has pur chased the grocery business of Merritt & Smith at the corner of Railroad and Law Streets. Attention is called to the ad vertisement of the Town Clerk to the effect that his books will be open for receiving tax re turns for the period ofone month, beginning Monday next, Jan.13. Mr. T. J. Warr, the new Tri al Justice at this place, has en tered upon the discharge of his duties. He is to be found at the office formerly occupied by Trial Justice Floyd, in the Hew itt Building. The new Board of County Commissioners, composed of the Chairmen of the several Town ship Boards, held their first meeting on Monday last. Mr. Thomas J. Kervin was elected Clerk of the Board. Tobacco barns are going up on every hand in the Lamar neighborhood, and the extent to which the farmers of that section are branching out in tobacco culture is said to bo something enormous. The County Board of Exam- aminers are to meet at the Court House on the 26th for the purpose of laying off and rear ranging the several School Dis tricts in the County in accord ance with the new law on the subject. Gov. Evans has appointed the following Trial Justices for this County: Darlington, P. T.Warr; Cypress. S. W. P. DuBose; La mar, Geo. W. Morris. It is ve ry probable that Trial Justices Smith and Croswell will be re appointed Mr. W. F. Early, who is now canvassing the county in the interest of the Darlington Phos phate AVorks, will also do some talking for The News while on his rounds. Mr. Early is au- thoriz.ec. to solicit subscribers for thi‘ paper, and to receipt for all mei eys that may be due it. The County Commissioners advertise that they will receive sealed applications for the posi tions of County Physician and Superintendent of* the Poor House, and sealed bids for the County printing, up to Tuesday next, Jan. 16, at which time the bids will be opened and the contracts for the present year awarded. Mr, R. A. Dixon, who clerked for Messrs. Joye & Sanders, and who has been employed by Mr. Sanders since the dissolution of that firm, has left Darlington to return to his old home at Bish- opville. Mr. C. W. DuBose, who has been clerking for Mes sers Edwards & Co., has also gone back to his former home in the western part of the Coun ty. The Slayer of Kelley, A* to Thle Section For Tobacco. Mr. Frank Fields, who killed Haney Kelley on Christmas day, was committed to jail on Satur day last, to await trial at the March term of court. Mr. Fields was dangerously wounded in the abdomen during the affray, and is still in a very precarious condition. The attending phy sician advised his removal from the jail, and, accordingly, on Monday last, he was taken to the Sheriff's residence where he now is. Row on Saleday. A fight in which quite a num- of people (whites on one side and colored on the other) be came involved before it was ovei occured in a vacant lot in town late on the afternoon of Saleday. An investigation of the rumors circulating concern ing it leads to the conclusion that both sides were more or less to blame, though which the most will be determined by judicial investigation to be held later. Isham Ervin, a well known colored man, was seriously beaten, as a result of it, on the head and face. No arrests haee been made as yet. Darlington to Have a Tobacco Factory. Messrs. Ira S. and H. A. Burch, two experienced tobacco men of Durham, N. C., under the firm name of Burch & Burch, are to establish a tobac co factory here at an early day. The senior member of the firm has been in town for the last v ek completing arrangements for the establishment of the fac tory, and hopes to have every thing i n working order in about twenty days. They will manufacture only smoking to bacco, two of the brands having already been decided upon, namely, “Pride of Darlington,” and “Pearl of the Pee Dee.” With a factory in our own town, the farmers may expect to get better prices than ever for their tobacco. A New Agricultural Paper. Our friend Mr. W. D. Woods is out this week in the first is sue of his new venture—an agri cultural paper which he is pub lishing at Florence, but which he purposes making “fill a long felt want” in the Pee Dee Sec tion, and, in fact, throughout the whole of South Carolina. The paper is printed by Mr. R. C. Starr, Jr., proprietor of the Florence Messenger, and is cer tainly very creditable, both as to its typographical work and on account of the excellent mat ter that it contains. We trust sincerely that our two friends will make a success of their en terprise, as we believe they will. The price of the Carolina Plant er is $2 a year, and it is well worth the money. Sewing machines from $1.50 to $20 at Blackwell Bros.’ Official Sale*. The following official sales were made by the Clerk of the Court on Monday: John Siskron vs. L. W.

Three of the very best papers , , lr ‘“the country, the Weekly Sew* and Courier and the Southern Cultivator, and The Darlington News will all be sent to any address for one year for $2.45, Editor Carolina Planter: Your letter asking my views on tobacco culture in South Car olina has been received and not ed. I have been in the State now two seasons and have been brought in close business rela tions wiih most of the tobacco growers of this section. 1 there fore feel in a position to judge competently of the matter, and it is my deliberate opinion that tobacce of as fine type or color can be grown here as in any State in the Union. The South Carolina farmer who gives his tobacco intelli gent care and attention may expect paying results, his great est enemy being a season too wet. Those farmers who have entered most largely into the culture of the weed tell me that nlanting is wisest, as it “'orebj Mures when the sea son ,o .. M f .pt to be good. As to fertilizers, I think the aver age farmer applies too much, causing the plant to grow too rapidly and so become narrow and thin in the leaf. Another mistake the tobacco grower should avoid is undertaking a crop too large for his force to cultivate properly. There is no danger of an over production of good tobacco. Fine wrappers, cutters and smokers always pay a reason able profit on the outlay. But this fineness of quality will not be produced when a man goes in merely for quantity. On the whole a little more experience is all that is needed to make the South Carolina farmers grow as good tobacco as you find any where. As to the prospect of a mar ket at Darlington, the possibi lities are great not only for a market, but for a market of which any State might be proud. But to develop it co operation is necessary. The new men who have come from the older mar kets cannot accomplish all that might be accomplished without the interest and assistance of your home people. When this is given, you may look for a darning success. Pledging my best efforts to that end. I am, Very Truly, Abrah Sydnor. Riding on a Preacher's Pass. A certain yong man from Darlington was on a visit to the city of Jacksonville recent ly. When about to return, he conceived the idea of buy ing a cheap ticket from a “scalper,” and visited the office of one of them for that purpose. The “scalper” had no ticket to offer him, but said that he had for sale a free pass for a return trip from Jacksonville to Florence, which ho had purchased for lit tle or nothing from a preacher, the Rev. J. J. Johnson, and which he was willing to dis pose of at a bargain. The young man, feeling that he could assume a sufficiently cler ical attitude to enable him to ride successfully on the preach er’s pass, (at least as far as F'->"°nce), traded with the scalp- 'T. and ‘ ok the train. When tii. . n^'ietor came around to coat colla son turned up his put on a solemn expression endeavored to look as dignifi as possible. The conduct took from him the pass mark “Rev. J. J.

The women of the community are observing the week of pray er. Mr. T. Gandy, of Dovesville, is clerking for Mr. 8. I. War- rener. The ponds were frozen last week to the depth of nearly tnree inches. Messrs. W. A. and L. E. Car- rigan will experiment in tobac co this year. A few days ago a party of young men went hunting, and after a few hours’ sport return ed with sixty three partridges; they claim to be able to do even better. For the second time I call the attention of the authorities to a hill on the old Darlington ' oad, two and a half miles from here; also to a bridge on the Camden road, near Mr. J. T. Rogers’ place. These are matters of in* terest to the public. Rev. D. W. Key has resigned his position as pastor of the Welsh Neck church to take charge of the Second Baptist Church in Greenville. Mr. Key has been a faithful worker and loving pastor at this place for two years, and his resignation is deeply regretted. If you want a good farm mule cheap, see Blackwell Bros. The best anodyne and expec torant for the cure of colds, coughs, and all throat, lung and bronchial troubles, is undoubt edly Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, the only specific for colds and coughs admitted on exhibition at the Chicago Worlds Fair. RIVERDALE. Miss Mamie Hunter, of Flor ence, is on a visit to relatives here. Mr. J. M. Pass left for his new home near Columbia on Wednesday of last week. Messrs. Smoot, Howell, Fields and Newman are moving to the Marco plantation to engage in planting tobacco. They expect to plant one hundred acres. Miss Edna Dargan gave an entertainment, consisting of tableaux &c., to the pupils of her school on Friday evening, the 28th ult. Owing to the in clement weather many were prevented from attending. Mr. Alexander Warr, Sr., one of the oldest citizens of this neighborhood, passed from his earthly home to the “Beautiful Beyond” on the 4th inst., after an illness of several montl^p. His remains were interred at the family burying ground on the following day at 4.30 o’clock P. M., the Rev. H. A. Edwards conducting the funeral services. Mr. Warr w a s a consistent member of the Mechanicsville Baptist Church for a number of years. He leaves a wife and nine children (one of whom is the Rev. J. W. Warr) besides a number of other relatives and friends to moun his loss.

Nothing but superior merit keeps it so long at the front. PHILADELPHIA. Oats have been damaged by the recent cold snap. Mr. Rease-Truitt and Miss Ella Elmore were married on the 30th ult. Mr. T. H. Stokes, Jr. is erect ing a new residence on his place. At this writing he is still single. The first Quarterly Conference for the Lamar Circuit will be held at this place on Saturday and Sunday next. Our people are giyeng vent to the tobacco “craze.” We believe a “craze” of the right kind is a good thing. The doctors have been doing a very poor business in our sec tion for quite a time; we can’t afford to call ’em in. Dandruff is due to an enfee bled state of the skin.

Misses Fannie Dalrymple and Kate Lewis spent Christmas with relatives here. Mr. J. S. Lloyd died on the 29th of December, and was bur ied at Mt. Zion, near Lamar.

Some tobacco was planted two weeks ago. The Elim Union convened at Lake Swamp last Friday; busi ness was transacted and a ser mon was preached by the Rev. J. S. M. Finch, who also con ducted a missionary meeting on Sunday. Any information concerning Jack Norris, who left his home three weeks ago, will be thank fully received by Mrs, Nancy Norris, Jasper. He is about 18 years old, five feet in height, and has a dark complexion. Tobacco Culture in Darlington. [Darlington Cor., News and Conner.] Mr. J. F. Thomlinson sold the yield from six acres of land planted this season in tobacco for $975. Another farmer sold eleven hundred pounds, the yield from one acre, and got a check for $335. A great many large loads sold at 30 cents per pound, many loads brought 40 cents and over and some lots brought 55 cents per pound. All of these prices were paid right here at the warehouse of the Darlington Tobacco Company, which Messrs. Sydnor & Tread way have managed to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. About a half million pounds of tobacco have already been mar keted here this season during the past three months, and judg ing from tho present outlook this amount will be quadrupled the approaching season. AH grades are made here, from common smoker to bright and mahogany wrappers, and also the celebrated “high grade cut ters,” used exclusively by the American Tobacco Company. The average yield shown here this season has been from nine hundred to twelve hundred pounds per acre and the aver age price paid has been over 10 cents per pound. This makes the value per acre over one hun dred dollars, difference simply beyond any comparison with cotton. Messrs. E. E. McGill and B. F. Smoot, two enterpris ing young men who see what the future of tobacco will be here, have arranged to build an other large warehouse for the sale of leaf tobacco here. Work will now soon be commenced and it will be finished in ample time for the marketing of the next crop. To show wat can be done in farming, to challenge compari son with the State and to give in figures a showing as to the comparative value of tobacco d cotton, the result obtained ' . a one horsq farm is given. Thirty two acres were planted and cultivated by William Har vey, a colored man, who was farming on shares with Mr. C. S. McCullough. The statement appended shows that on thirty- two acres of land,'worked by a colored man, who hired all his help, including his mule, a net profit of $792.55 was made. Fif teen acres planted in cotton, with the large yield of eighteen five hundred weight bales and the seed from these bales, all sold for $580.71. On ten acres of tobacco, one-third less than the ocreage planted in cotton, the tobacco made sold for $909 .71, nearly twice as much as was made on fifteen acres plant ed in cotton. For the instruct ion of those who care to see, the detailed statement below gives the exact figures as are shown by Mr. McCullough’s books: Cr. 10 acres of tobacco sold for. .$ MB 71 16 acres cotton, yield 18 bales, 600 lbs. each, sold for...... 494 08 Cotton seed sold for 86 65 5 acres corn, 110 bushels 66 00 4 acre potatoes, 40 bushels .. 18 00 16 bushels peas io 00 Hay, valued at $50, worth more 50 00 H acres sugarcane, 816 gals. syrup at 80c 94 so 14 acre# sugarcane, 16,000 stalks, for seed tso 00 Da. $1,889 22 Paid for rent of mule $ Paid for feed of mule Paid lor stable manure Paid for guano Paid for wood, tobacco plants and curing tobacco Paid for service of expert to bacco curer Paid for all other expenses, including grading tobacco, labor, cane for seed, etc, etc. 25 00 100 00 100 00 178 80 49 75 55 00 588 62 „ $1,096 67 Net profit on 82 acres, $792 56.
