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.

CORSET DEPARTMENT
Just think of a fine summer
corset for only 44 cents! Corset
fronts, only 5 cents. Corsets'
We have them from 24 and up.
HOSIERY.
We have first-class hose for
6 cents per pair. Men's seam
less socks. 5 cents. All grades
up to silk stockings.
LADIES’ READY-MADE
GARMENT DEPARTMENT.
These goods are first class,
well made, and good fits. Think
of a handsome wrapper for 65
cents; a dandy, full sleeves,
collars and trimmed, only 98
cents; a “smasher,” ribbon
trimmed, onlv $2.35; a “hum
mer”,—it dazzles,—5 rows rib
bon, round collar, only $2.55.
All kinds of underwear at prices
that makes it go the way it
should and is going.
MILLINERY DEPARTMENT
All we can say of this superb
stock is that it is in the hands
of Miss Hall, an expert trimmer,
and the stock- is selected from
the best houses. Our prices
have no competition. A hand
some hat sells as low as 50 cents;
others, 50, 75 and up; all ready
to wear.
LACE DEPARTMENT.
12,000 yards of woven Torchon
8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 19 cents per
yard. Bolt, half price. All laces,
white and cream, at half price.
Embroideries, all widths; come
and see it.
SHOE DEPARTMENT.
140 cases. Think of a high
cut, solid plow shoe for only 88
cents! A $3 calf for only $1.78.
Dongola button, 85 cents; grain
button, solid or no go, 75 cents.
Slippers, oxfords, black and tan,
for ladies, misses and children,
all prices; come and see.
MEN’S AND BOYS’ EATS.
In this line we have straw and
felt. Think of a $2.50 fine crush
hat for $1.28. They were com
pared last week; that settled it;
i hey are going like hot cakes.
Straw hats from 6 cents up.
Fine parasols, silk and ging
ham, 35 cents and up. Fans,
all prices. Umbrellas, silk and
gingham. 55 cents and up.
Think of a heavy duck shirt
for only 25 cents’ A big lot of
shirts selling way below value.
Pants cloth, 7 cents and up.
Handsome striped duck for
men's shirts, boys’ jackets, &c.,
only 7} cents. 40 inch Persian
lawns, 71 cents. Best table oil
cloth. 15 and 18 cents.
Next and most important is
our giant stock of summer dress
fabrics in Organdies, Foulards,
Pogees and Sateens in all the
latest patterns. Also draperies,
piints, &c., at prices not easily
matched. If we should receive
advice from our Broadway
headquarters to sell goods at
manufacturers’ prices and take
out our profit, we would do it.
This placesiisahsolutely beyond
competition. See the effect:
fruit of the loom muslins, only
6 cents. We make our profit
standard. Calico, 4} cents per
yard, in lots of not less than 10
yards of one piece; as much
more as you want. We handle
only standard prints; come and
see and be convinced.
