The Woman Suffrage Meeting. [Communicated.] Miss Laura Clay, who will speak at the Woman Suffrage Mass Meeting to be held here on May 10th., belongs to one of the most honored and oldest families in the South. She is a daughter of Cassius and a niece of Henry Clay. She possesses the same indomitable courage and adherence to principle which characterized her illus trious ancestor and endeared him to the hearts of all South erners. She is President of the Kentucky Equal Rights Associ ation and has led many movo- nients in the legislature of that State which have resulted in more liberal laws for women She is large in stature, com manding attention by the mag netism of her presence. In im passioned moments, the hearer is reminded forcibly of the ora tory of the famous Henry. Miss Clay is the manager of a large farm near Lexington where she resides. She is respected in the Councils of the National body of Suffragists for her keen fore sight, her logic and her fervid eloquence. Farming Operations. [Darlington Cor., News and Courier.l The farming operations of this county are more variegat ed, so to speak, this season than they ever were before. It would require the services of many ex perts to tell what the real status of affairs in this respect was. Tobacco will certainly be very largely planted and the cotton acreage will as surely be mater ially reduced. Corn, small grain crops and sugarcane will be planted more than ever be fore and other crops will engage the attention of planters. As stated before, Darlington Coun ty invites and will command the attention of agriculturists everywhere this season. The largest kind of cattle are being grown on cotton seed hulls and water—a very refreshing and fattening diet. A prominent citizen is still making active preparations for raising bull frogs for shipment. Sunflowers will be planted like corn, and cotton and watermelons will be grown in unheard of quantities. These are all literal facts and their success will be periodically reported, as the cows develop, the bull frogs bellow, the sun flowers blossom, the tobacco ripens and the cotton whitens, when the melons are shipped and the sugarcane is ground, when all is over and the returns are in. Woman'* Right*. [Darlington Cor., News and Courier. | In certain directions this agi tating and agitated question is now receiving more attention than politics, (legitimate poli tics,) the late spring and the la test styles, picnics or bonnets. Singular to say, some of the bachelor portion of the commu nity, for various reasons, have most to say on this dynamite subject. Your correspondent is aware that when woman suf fragists are on one side of this question and bachelors on the other, it is like playing with dynamite to say a word, out he will be discreet and if anything happens he will put in a disap pearance. One of our bachelors who wields a forcible pen will soon be heard of in the News and Courier fighting this move ment. Another prominent one, who buys cotton and wields a forcible tongue, has been drawn in coolly and deliberately, and against his will. Mr. John A. Buchanan has received instruc tions from the Woman’s Rights headquarters to arrange every thing for a grand meeting here on the 10th. of May. He will also put in a disappearance on or before that date unless some temporizing is done. The femi nine audacity of this special oc casion has paralyzed him al most, but all trouble may be averted by sagacious measures. New Schedules. [Darlington Cor., New* and Courier ] Speaking of travelling, there is a little good news for the peo ple of Darlington that can be positively given here, with a suggestion of more to follow. Ihe Atlantic Coast Line author ities have taken off the caboose car on the Hartsville train and in its place there is now a nice passenger coach. Your corre spondent has been reliably, but unofficially, informed uiat with in the next week a through passenger schedule from Char leston to Gibson, via Florence, Darlington and Bennettsville will be put on by the railroad men. This will be a boon to travellers and will mean much m the matter of convenience and comfort, as a trip to Char leston now involves much of discomfort. The conductors are all that could be desired, and the new change will do away with the only unpleasant feat ures. Among other things the News and Courier will reach its Darlington patrons regularly and on time—a great consider ation. The people of Darling ton need improved railroad schedules in many respects, and they have long been patiently awaiting what has many times been promised them. Miss Maggie Jones desires to announce to the ladies that she is opening up a line of MILLINERY that for STYLE and PRICES is not to be excelled, and JJI JY to fit all the babies. Also a line of Notice. T he annual meeting of the stockholder* ot the Darlington Manufacturing Company will be held at the office of the Comi>any, Darling ton, O., on Thumday. May 2nd, 1805, at 12 M.
