Tobacco Growers Organizing, A number of gentlemen met in the office of the President of the Bank of Darlington on Tues day last to discuss the advis ability of endeavoring to form an association of tobacco grow ers in this section. Among those present were Messrs. M. S. Haynsworth, L. L. Rose, J. J. Ward, W. E. James, S. B. Gandy, E. E. McGill, R. H. Treadway, John Coleman, J. R. Bowles and* A. Sydnor. After fully discussing the situation, it was decided to issue a call to the tobacco growers of this sec tion, and all others who maj be interested in the subject, to meet in the Court House at this place on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 11 o’clock, for the purpose of or ganizing. The object of this Association will be to promote and encourage the growing of tobacco, to bring tobacco grow ers together for an interchange of ideas; and, especially, to ad vise those who are planting it, for the fi'st time as to the man ner in which the work should be done. It is proposed that the Association meet the latter part of every month, on which occa sions original essays on the sub ject of tobacco culture will be read, and the endeavor will be made to properly discuss and go over in detail the work to be ac complished during the ensuing month. An effort will be made to have several of these essays read at the very first meeting of the Association, and it is not at all improbable that the Editor of the Southern Tobacco Journal will be present to give the farm ers a talk on this important sub ject. It is also the intention of the organizers of the Associa tion to publish regularly the proceedings of every meeting, so that they will reach the homes of all the tobacco grow ers in this section. Under the circumstances it is highly im portant that all who are inter ested in this matter attend the meeting which has been called for the 29th., and no invitation other than the general notice published in another column will bo necessary. We have a fresh supply of canned goods from the Harts- ville Canning Company, which we offer at both wholesale and i retail prices; quality unexcelled. IjPoggeshall & Co. Darlington In Virginia. W.

Mr. J. E. Norment’* Promotion. As will be seen from the no tice which is published in an other column, Mr. J. E. Nor ment, of this place, has been ap pointed to a very responsible position on the staff of the Char leston News and Courier. Mr. Norment’s past career in the j mrnalistic profession indicates that he possesses decided quali fications for the discharge of the higher duties to which he has been called, and in which he will doubtless meet with marked success. He is a good newspaper man and his future career will be watched with in terest by his many friends here. Meeting of The County Commissioners. At a meeting of the new Board of County Commissioners held on Tuesday, Mr. L. C. Mor ris was elected Superintendent of the Poor House and farm, Dr. W. J. Garner, County Phy sician, and Mr. J. E. Miller, of Hartsville, Chairman of the County Board of Equalization. The vote on the last named was very close between Mr. Miller and Mr. J. N. Parrott. The next meeting will be held on Feb. 4. The County Supervis or’s office, where the Board meets, is over Hennig’s store, on PearlJStreet. The following, who are the respective chair men of the several Township Boards, constitute, r.r offici >, the new Board of County l ’om- missioners: Antioch, H. J Cok er; Cypress, T. L. Northcutt; Darlington, Henry Hennig; Hartsville, J. E. Miller; High Hill, J. N. Parrott; Libson, D. C. Reynolds; Mechanicsville, S. B. Gandy; Philadelphia, Walter Vaughan; Stokes Bridge, W. W. McKenzie; Society Hill, B. F. Gandy; Switt Creek, Joseph B. Rhodes; Palmetto, R. H. Rogers; Lydia, C. Rhinehan; Leavens- worth, T. J. Kervin. Enforcing The Dispensary Law. The people of the County (those residing in the Hartsville neigh borhood in particular), have been feeling some of tlje rigors of the dispensary law recently. A detective has been in their midst, who passed him self off as an agent for tomb stones, models for which he car ried around in a little box, and displayed from time to time to those wanting anything in his line. As a result, a number of warrants have been Issued against people in that section charging them with dealing in contraband liquor. Solicitor Johnson went up about two weeks ago to set tne ball in mo tion, and Trial Justice Cross well was subsequently ordered over to Hartsville to try the cases. He has been holding court there continuously ever since, and, from the stock of warrants which he has on hand, the chances are that he will con tinue to hold it for some time to come. Three persons, two white men r.nd a negro, have been convicted, and are now serving out sentences in jail of thirty days each. As might be ex pected, considerable excitement has been stirred up on the sub ject, and some people who were once in favor of the dispensary law are now wild in their de nunciation of it.
