Greasing Up The Slate's “Pizen ”
Fire broke out in the law
office of Messrs. Nettles & Net

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

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.

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.

J. J. 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.

Th* Great Prize Drill at Memphis.
[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.

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.
