N. M. Britt, one of Pinkerton’s detectives, has been in town for some tiuio working in tne inter- est of the State in running down "blind tigers,” and last week swore out warrents be fore Trial Justice Warr for the following persons, charging them with selling contraband Pquor: Allen Williams, I.

In the other Trial Justice Warr bound him over for trial at the next term of the Court of General Sessions in f'e sum of $500. The case against Garland was dismissed, and Justice Warr bound Floyd and Atkinson over in the sum of $500 each. Greasing Up The Slate's “Pizen ” Fire broke out in the law office of Messrs. Nettles & Net tles, over the dispensary, on Thursday night last about mid night. The fire department was quickly on the spot, and to its efforts alone was due the sav ing of the building and, in fact, of the entire block of buildings among which it is situated. The firemen worked like “beavers”; they flooded the place with wa ter, and with all their efforts barely succeeded in saving the place. How the fire caught is unknown. A hole was burned in the corner of one of the rooms near a stationary( basin. The flames crept through a partition wall to a five-gallon oil can on the opposite side, which was exploded, the oil from the can. mixed with water, dripping down into the dispensary below. Mr. I. Lewenthal’s stock of goods was also considerably damaged. Just received, a choice lot of fine fruits; Sims & Young. fobteto Gro«r»r»' A»soci*tion.

The people of Darlington can take our word for it that Prof Ford is a genuine artist in his line, and all who attend these entertain ments will be perfectly delight ed with him. An Elegant Hotel. Darlington has often before in its previous history bad two hotels, but we venture to assert that it has never before had two such hotels as are here now. The Enterprise, as everybody knows, is giving great satisfac tion to its guests by the way Mr. Hodges, the present propri etor, conducts it. But what ve ry few people seem to know is that there is to be found on Pearl Street, at the old stand occupied by theCleveland House a hotel now run under the name of “The Arlington,” which is decidedly one of the best estab lishments of the kind with which this community has ever been blessed. Nothing helps to build up a town as much as a good hotel, and the Arlington, under its present management, is thor oughly equipped to do this. The most casual observer on enter ing the building will be impress ed with the truth of our asser tion. The place is beautifully kept, and Mrs. Ferris, the new lessee of the establishment, is an accomplished house keeper, and keeps up an elegant table. The young men of the commu nity who are without family ties could not find a better or more congenial place to board if they were to search the town from one end to the other. We hope that Mrs. Ferris will meet with the success that will war rant her in keeping up the house on the scale that she has begun. A hotel such as she runs is a credit to any community, and should receive the support of every good citizen in it.

LAMAR. The town election held on the 15th. inst. resulted as follows: Intendant, D. C. Reynolds, war dens, G. W. Mims, J. A. Cole, W. C. Mims and J. H. Taylor. These gentlemen have com; menced improving our streets, and we hope they will soon have our town in first class condition. What might have been a very serious accident occurred last Sunday. Two young ladies were driving in a buggy; the horse suddenly dashed off and one of the occupants was thrown out. Her clothing was caught in the wheels and she was drag ged a considerable distance. The young ladies were rescued be fore anything serious happened. After all the hurrah over the guano question, it looks like we poor, frost bitten, weather beat en, four-cent-cotton farmers will go plumb crazy over the stuff. It is a sight to see us with our one horned ox and flea bitten mule around th sidetrack. Some time ago the President of the State Alliance called a meet ing of the Order, with other farmers who desired to attend, to be held In Columbia for the purpose of consulting with the guano and railroad companies in reference to a reduction in prices and railroad rates. Those who attended that body endeav ored to get both ends of the rope on the guano men and missed both ends. Our railroad com missioners, save one, Mr. Wil- born, were so in love with the railroads that they did not even ask for a reduction; nay, verily, one of them even made a strong speech against the reduction of railroad rates; said it was “too late”to do the farmers any good. The result now is that the farm ers are bogging down on the road,and the guano and railroad men are tickled in their sleeves. JASPER. Messrs. J. L. Wilkes & Bro. have a very nice stand of oats. They expect to put up two to bacco barns soon. Mr. G. D. Norris raised a to bacco barn on Monday. Messrs. G. W. Lewis and Walter Yaughan will raise theirs soon. The farmers are making every edge cut that they can when the rain is not falling; but they can’t redeem the days that are lost. There are some who think we are a month behindhand with our farm work. Died, on the 13th. inst., Miss Eleanor Jordan, daughter of Mr. Jaquelin Jordan. She was buried at Lake Swamp ceme tery on the following day, the Rev. B. F. Parrott conducting the funeral services. It was reported last week that Lake Swamp Church had ex tended a call to the Rev. B. F. Parrott. This is an error. He only offers to preacn when he is able. The church passed re solutions accepting his services with thanks. “Getting Together.” In pursuance to the call issu ed some time since, and signed by voters of both political fac tions, some fifty representative citizens, about half of whom were Tillmanites and half “Anti’s”, assembled in the Opera House on Friday last to see what could be done about “getting together.” J. J. Ward, Esq., was called to the chair and Mr. A. J. A. Perritt was chosen secretary. The ob ject of the meeting was then explained by Mr. A. J. A. Per ritt, the prime mover in it. Mr. E. Keith Dargan was called up on to express his views. Mr. Henry T. Thompson offered the following resolutions: Believing the supreme un written law of the land to be a verdict of the white people, it is, this 15th day of March, 1895, resolved by white voters of Darlington County i n mass meeting assembled, 1. That the resort of any ele ment of the white Democracy of the State to the negro vote for the control of the Constitution al Convention would be such misfortune that it is the duty o! ! every patriotic citizen to do all in his power to avert it. 2. That w T e commend all sin cere efforts, of whatsoever kind that are being made to accom plished this greatly to be desir ed end. 3. That we consider the lead ing object to he attained by the Constitutional Convention to be a guarantee, as far as possible of a white voting majority in South Carolina, deeming such condition necessary to the peace and prosperity of the State. 4. That we will send no man to the conference in'Columbia on the 27th. inst. who does not pledge himself to advocat^the maintenance of white supre may, as far as it can be done in a lawful way, and urge peace and harmony between the con tending factions. 5. That a committee of four be appointed by the chair to re commend to this meeting four suitable persons, two from each faction, to serve as delegates to the conference in Columbia on the 27th. After remarks by Messrs A J. A. Perritt, E. K. Dargan, W H. Lawrence, H. C. Burn, W F. Dargan and J. G. McCall, the resolutions were unanimous ly adopted. The following del egates were chosen to attenc the State conference in Colum bia on the 27th; W. F. Dargan Henry T. Thompson, J. W. Woodham, H. C. Bum. The meeting was an entirely har monious one, all who attended it being evidently earnestly de sirous of bringing the two fac tions together, and it is to be hoped that good will result from it. with Messrs.

Dargan—Sir: After con sidering your course we deem it for the good of our country to warn you that your policy with the negro must be stopped im mediately, or steps will be ta ken to stop you. Your incendiary speeches are calculated to cause bloody strife in this State. We consider it blood economy to take the blood of one man rather than the blood of many. Take warning at this and save yourself from death and us of a heinous deed. And save your wife and daughters the disgrace that their husband and father died a shameful death as an in cendiary leader of negroes. No negro in this. Legions of White Men.

[Jacksonville, Fla., Time**Union.| From May 11 to 21, inclusive, there will be held at Memphis, Tenn., an inter-State drill and encampment of State troops, and the management of the en terprise has offered cash prizes for proficiency aggregating $15,325. Many of the southern cities will participate in the encampment, and Jacksonville has been invited to send a mili tary representation. Neither of the local companies has funds sufficient in the treasury to bear expenses incidental to such a trip, yet a contingent from this city would not only be of great benefit to the boys themselves, but would prove an excellent medium for advertising Jack sonville, and a small subscrip tion from each of the merchants and business men would amount to a total amply adequate for sending a first-class company to this encampment. The State troops are one of our most im E ortant institutions, and should e given every support and en couragement. The State itself does not make sufficient provis ion to keep them in legal exis tence, but they are for the pro tection of life and property of every citizen, and too much cannot be done by the individ ual in aiding them to attain the discipline and the efficiency nec essary to x h e i r usefulness. Help the boys out, and send them to Memphis with instruc tions to lay the train for an in ter-State drill and encampment in Jacksonville next spring su* perior to any ever held in the country. * * * * The officers and men of the Jacksonville Light Infantry and Metropolitan Light Infantry are willing and anxious to attend, and the only obstacle is the lack of funds to pay the necessary expenses. There are eight com petitive drills, and a grand total of $15,325 offered in prizes. The first is free for all infantry, United States drill regulations, first prize, $3,000; second prize, $1,250, and third prize, $500. The second event is for compa nies that have never won or been awarded a prize in an in ter-State dril'. The first prize will be $1,000, and the second prize $500. In nearly all of the drills the first prize will be $1,000, and the second pri*e will be $500. The Jacksonville boys are con fident of winning one or more of the prizes. New Orleans, At lanta, Macon, Montgomery, and several other southern cities achieved a great reputation by their crack military companii s attending inter-State drills in various parts of the and Jacksonville can wise if her citizens generally will encourage the local militia general favor, and will proba bly be put into effect if one or more of the companies do not go into the drill as companies. It has been suggested that if such a company he temporarily organized it should adopt such a name as the Charleston Rifle men or Guards, so that the city would get the credit of any dis tinction achieved by them. There is talk of getting a purse raised by contributions from the merchants to defray the expense of the forty men going and that it would take but little effort on the part of the proper parties to secure it. There is no question that Charleston should be re presented. It reflects credit ably on a city to have her re presentatives present at such contests, as it shows that there is vim and activity at home, and the city in this way reaps indirectly much benefit in the advertising it receives. The matter is being generally dis cussed in the armories and doubtless something definite will he done ere many days. [DarlinKton is moie fortunate than the cities of Charleston, Jacksonville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Mobile, Mont- Romer , Birmingham, Macon. Savan nah and Augusta, in that she has a well trained eomoany all ready to take part in this drill withr ut the ne cessity of having to make np a special team for the occasion from the ranks of several other companies. These cities realize that sending a ‘•crack" company to represent them on such an occasion as this i* about as big an advertisement as a community can have. Does Darlington realize that fact? The Darlington Guard* would attend, with a tine chance ot carry ing off the first prize, but they must have assistance from our citizens. Who will take the lead in the matter? The time is short, and if anything is to he done, it should be done quickly. —Editor, The News.] Sunflower seed, 15 cents a pound, at Blackwell Bros.’ Sims & Young are abreast of the times, both as to quality and prices; give them a call. McLendon Dying. [The State.] It does seem strange, but the indications are that very short ly now, only C. B. Swann of the principal ^constables who figur ed in the Darlington tragedy which brought about the Dar lington trouble nearly one year ago, will be left above the sod. Pepper is dead, having been killed outright at the time. Since that time the chief of the constables, Gaillard, has passed over the river, dying from dis ease contracted from the expos ure he underwent while hiding out. And now comes McLen don. He, it will be remember ed, was badly shot, but recover ed. Some time ago the wound gave him internal trouble, and a gentleman who arrived in this city yesterday states that Mc Lendon’s physician in Barnwell tells him that McLendon has been slowly dying for some time. The physician says that McLen don is now terribly emaciated, and it is only a question of a very short time before his care er will be ended.
