LOCAL LACONICS. MATTERS IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF DARLINGTON. A Column of New*, Ter»ely Told, of Interest to Our Many Reader*. Gen. W. E. James is still quite sick. Mr. H. E. P. Sanders is spend ing the week in Charleston. Mr. B. F. Taylor ran over to Columbia last week on a brief yisit. Mr. H. T. Thompson is to de liver the Memorial Day address at Florence to-morrow. Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, of the South Carolina College, was in Darlington last Friday. Mr. Maxcy Dickson, of Mar ion, spent Sunday with his brother, Mr. W. G. Dickson. Rev. D. M. Fulton will preach in the Presbyterian Church next Sunday morning at eleven o’clock. E. O. Woods. Esq., has gone to Charleston to attend the Un ited States Court. His family accompanied him. Dr. W. J. Garner has been appointed surgeon for the At lantic Coast Line for this and neighboring stations. Mr. B. B. Marco, formerly a citizen of Darlington, but now of New York City, is in town on a visit to friends and relatives. The McLaurin-Wilson con tested Congressional election case is still dragging its weary length along in the Court House. Mr. G. K. King has returned from his trip to Florida, and will spend a considerable por tion of the summer in Darling ton. Mr. Martin Hanley has mov ed his restaurant from the Man- ne building to the store nearly opposite which was occupied until recently by E. C. Rotholz. Mr. R. A. Dixon, who former ly clerked here for Messrs. Joye & Banders, but who now resides in Bishopvillee, came over to Darlington f,om that town on Monday. Mr. L. I. Parrott, who was formerly official stenographer of the Third Circuit, but who is now traveling as an hynotic lecturer, is in Darlington on a bnsiness visit. Mr. C. K. Rogers has the most beautiful field of red clover that has probably ever been seeen in this section of the country. It is really worth walking a mile or two to look at. The Darlington Light and Water Company is running a water main down Florence Street to th° deopt.and will sup ply the engines of the Atlantic Coast Line with Artesian water. Reports indicate that cotton in certain sections of the Coun ty (in the Lamar section paticu- larly) has been so much damag ed by the wet weather and cool nights that it will have to be planted over. Mr. C. W. DuBose, who for merly clerked for Messrs. Ed wards & Co., is traveling the county in the interest of some of the first-class insurance com- panier represented by Messrs. Dargan & Baird. The “Sunbeam Society,” of the Baptist Sunday School, gave an exhibition at the Baptist Church on Sunday last. A col lection for foreign missions was taken up, and a considerable sum was realized. The protracted meeting at the Methodist Church, in accordance with the announcement which was previously made in these columns, was begun on Sunday evening last. The Rev. Dr. Clifton, of Charleston, is assist ing the Rev. Mr. Child in the work. Letters addressed to the fol lowing persons remain uncalled for at the Darlington postoffice and are advertised as “dead” for the week ending May 4: J. J. Jenkins, Me. Wingate, J. N. Pett, Mrs. E. B. Brown. Miss Bettie Patterson, Miss Hattie Green, Miss Henrietta Jackson. P Sam Atkinson, the young white man who stole a mule from a Mr. Brazeale, at Camden, a week or so ago, was arrested and lodged in jail by Sheriff G. P. Scarborough o n Tuesday. The Sheriff of Kershaw County was notified, and Atkinson will be carried to Camden in a few days. A fire which broke out at the residence of Mr. C. 8. McCul lough on Thursday afternoon last might have proved very serious but for the prompt man ner in which it was checked. The alarm was sounded and the fire department was promptly on the spot, but their services were not needed. Thefire broke out among some of Mr. McCul lough’s wearing apparel that was hanging up in a closet which a member of the family entered with a burning match in his hand. Mr. G. 0. Mertz is offering for sale a fine lot of straw-berries of his own raising. Mr. W. Albert Parrott is at tending the United States Court in Charleston as a witness. Mr. J. W. McCullough, of I Greenville, was in town on a visit to relatives last week. Mr. Geo. O. Buck, of Bucks- ville, is in town on a visit to his kinsman, Mr. W. McG. Buck. Miss Irene Shuford, of Sum- merton, has been employed as | cashier by Messrs. Sligh & Rucker. Mr. Preston Cooper is acting on the police force in place of Mr. T. J. Cook, who has been granted a brief furlough. It is estimated that the cotton acreage in this County has been reduced at least twenty-five per cent this season as a result of the tobacco “fever”. The Columbia Registrr is urg ir,g an encampment of the State Militia at Columbia this year. This is a fine idea all round, and we predict that the ercamp- ment, if held, will be a signal success. Columbia is an ideal place for it. The heavy watermelon crop which has been planted in this County' may bring in “big money” after all. The Florida cron has been completely ruin ed already by insects, and the one in Georgia is said to be ex tremely poor. The price of the twelve-inch single return flues for tobacco barns offered by Mr. H. R. Ford, of Ueidsville, N. C., whose ad vertisement appears regularly in these columns, is $9.75, and not $6.75 as was erroneously published last week. A gentleman who has been absent from Darlington for sev eral weeks, a considerable por tion of his time being spent in Charleston, says that he saw more business transacted in Darlington on Saturday last than he had seen done anywhere since Christmas. It is said that the regular monthly meetings of the Dar lington County Tobacco Grow ers’ Association have proved it to be one of the most successful enterprises ever instituted in this county, and that it will ul timately result in almost untold good to our people. The County Teachers’ Associ ation will meet at Oats on the fourth Saturday in May. The subjects for dissussion will be, “The best methods of teaching Geography,” “Fanlts of teach ers as teachers.” Much interest is manifested in these meetings, and it is pro' able that this one will be largely attended. Fred McNeill, a colored boy, was arrested last week, charged with entering and robbing the residence of a Mr. Best, who lives near the Factory. It turns out that McNeill is an ex-con vict, he having been sentenced from this county at the June Term of Court, lH91,to one year’s service in the penitentiary for burglary and larceny. A man named Thornal, who lives about seven miles from here in the direction of Tim- monsville, attempted to commit suicide on Sunday morning last, while in a fit of dispondency, by shooting himself in the stomach. He was still alive at last ac counts, though he will probably die from tne effects of the wound. Mr. John Coleman will open next season a tobacco “prize- house” for packing tobacco for shipment. In connection with his new enterprise, he has awarded to Mr. H. J. LaMottea contract for the erection of a three story frame building, lOOx 50 feet in dimensions, which is to be built on East Broad Street, on the corner lot just opposite the site of the old tobacco ware house. The Fire Department. The local fire department seems to be languishing. Can nothing be done to revive it? Mr. Bright Williamson, the en ergetic President of the organi zation, has done all in his pow er to keep it going, but so little interest seems to be taken in it that even he is at last getting discouraged. This is an extreme ly important matter, and one in which every residaut in the community should take a per sonal interest. Women on the Ro»trum. The “Woman’s Rights” meet ing for tomorrow (Friday)night, will be held in the Opera House, as already announced. The la dies who are to speak here met with fine receptions in Charles ton, Columbia, and everywhere else that they have appeared in the State. Darlington is not less gallant than other South Carolina towns, so we predict that the Opera House will be crowded tomorrow night with | an intelligent audience eager to hear the fair orators, who are said to be “fine talkers”—but, being women, that of course; goes without saying. A Tannery Started in Darlington. A new enterprise has been started in Darlington by Mr. W. C. Young in the way of a tannery. Mr. Young first be gun the business as an experi ment, but, as it proved success ful, it is now an established fact that Darlington has a tannery that turns out first class leath er. Mr. Young has made two shipments of his goods and will make a third in a few days. The tannery is located on the road leading to the Mineral Spring, near the old fair grmnds. Mr, Young has samples of the tan ned “stuff” on exhibition at his shoe snop, on Florence Street, and it is certainly as good as can be procured anywhere. Best and cheapest clothing; Blackwell Bros. THE COlim HEWS. £ Sand Worth S200 A Ton. Mr. J. E. Norment, special correspondent of the News and Courier, has just returned from an extended tour through some of the upper counties of the State, in the interest of the pa- er that he represents. Mr. orment seems tremendously impressed with the “push and progress” that characterize the section he has just visited. He brings back with him a speci- man of monozite, a valuable sand used in connection with ihe generation of electric lights, a large quantity of which has recently been discovered in Spartanburg County. As this sand is w-orth $200 a ton, Mr. Norment’s specimen, which is on exl^ition at this office, may be of interest to some of our readers. There may be monaz- ite in Darlington County, and lots of it, too. You can wear Reynolds’ shoes twelve months; found only at Blackwell Bros.’ A Peculiar Case. We have had occasion hereto fore to refer to the excellent hotel which Mrs. Ferris is con ducting in the Weinberg build ing, on Pearl Street, and to comment upon the fact that she was meeting with no success in her undertaking, notwithstand ing that the establishment was really a very elegant affair in the way she was running it— one that woula do credit to any town or city in the State. Mrs' Ferris has at last given up. She has held out bravely since Jan. 1, but somehow, in this inst ance, fine table board and beau tifully kept rooms have not proved a “drawing card”. Mrs. Ferris expects to move to Flor ida in a short time. This will be a heavy loss to Darlington, but as Darlington has somehow failed to realize it up to th s time, we suppose it will work out all right in the end. Horse, cattle and poultry powders; large packages only 25 cents at Blackwell Bros.’ Cutting Railroad Rate*. A good many people from this section are attending the South ern Baptist Convention now be ing held in the city of Washing ton. Revs. Messrs. Perry and Burton went on yesterday. The fare for the round trip from Darlingtou is only $13. From Wadesboro, N. C. to Washing ton and return the price of tick ets has been put down as low as $8, for at that point the Coast Line comes into competition with the Richmond & Danville. These two lines have been in dulging ib a “rate war” for some time past, and are slash ing at one another in a manner terrible U> Iiehold. Its a pity Darlington can never hope to come in for anything like that. “Jim crow cars” attached to freight trains that connect with nothing anywhere are apt to satisfy to the fullest extent the most insatiate desire for rail road travelling, even it’s to be had for nothing. The Work of Fiends. I News and Coorier.l Another attempt was made to wreck an Atlantic Coast Line train night before last. This makes the third attempt of the kind that has been made within the last few months, and it is a pity that some punishment can not be dealt out to the evil doers. All efforts to catch them have proved futile. The scene of the attempted wreck of Tuesday night was be tween Oakley and Strawberry stations. Train No. 23 had just taken water at the tank this side of Strawberry station and had started for its run down to the city, when the engineer saw an obstruction on the track. The air breaks were turned on at once, but the heavy train was not brought to a standstill until the engine had ran into a pile of crossties which had been placed on the track. The act was deliberate and was evident ly done with the intention of wrecking the first train that might come along for the logs were wedged into the rails se curely. The train wat unin jured, but the engine was par tially derailed. The train 1 did not arrive in the city until after 1 o’clock. FROM ALL SECTIONS AS TOLD BY OUR CORRESPONDENTS. SOCIETY HILL. Our farmers have reduced the cotton acreage very little. Miss Maggie Carrigan has gone to Baltimore. Mr. Samuel Lide, of Georgia, is visiting relatives here. The Literary Club will study next the life and works of Mark Twain. Mr. T. R. Evans has purchas ed the Bacot house in this neigh borhood. The young people enjoyed a dance a few evenings since at the residence of Mr r T. R. Evans. A handsome monument has been erected at the grave of Rev. John Stout in Welsh Neck Cemetery. Rev. C. L. Dowell and wife attended the “welcome service” in honor of the new pastor at Black Creek Church. Strawberries are plentiful, and some growers are shipping to market. Melons are slow in germinating, owing, it is sup posed, to excessive moisture. Flour! Flour! Bought before the rise in price, at Blackwell Bros.’ Fresh line of candy received every week at Sims Young’s. LAMAR. Rev. Mr. Baker is holding a prolracted meeting. Work is progressing on the storehouse of Mr. T. F. Wilson. We are having another fine season for setting out tobacco and other plants. Rev. Mr. Davis, of Sumter, filled the pulpit of Rev. Mr. Scruggs last Sunday. The stand of cotton is poor, and the plant is dying out as it comes up. Some of our farmers have had to replant. The stand of corn is excellent. The absence of the blue bird, the mocking bird and the bee martin is conspicuous; some E eople think that these favorite irds were frozen during the extremely cold winter. If the chicken hawk, cholera and sore head will fawor us with their absence, our people will have fried chicken and pan pies after awhile. The commu nity is abundantly stocked with little chicks and turkeys. New store, new goods, nice as well as cheap, at Blackwell Bros.’ All kinds of dried fruit at Sims & Young’s. HOPEWELL. The oat crop is looking well considering the severe cold of the past winter. Died on Saturday of last week, Carrie, infant daughter of Mr. ami Mrs. 0. S. Huggins. Our tobacco growers have fine weather for transplanting. Some have finished, while others are improving the time. A colored man in this section is the owner of la chicken with three feet, which he naturally regards as quite a curiosity. Some of our young folks at tended an exhibition at the close of Miss Jennie Hill’s school at Enon on last Friday night. They report quite an enjoyable occasion. Mrs. Susan Brown, an aged lady, came near being drowned a few days since by falling from the footway across Bay branch near here. The stream was very full at the time. Ladies’ and misses’ low shoes at Blackwell Bros.’ • cut CLYDE. We are having good weather for farm work. Spring oats are looking fine at this writing. Several of our young folks at tended the closing exercises of the Ashland school on Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Outlaw, of Darlington, paid a brief visit to their sons at Kellytown last week. A paity from the neighbor hood of Seegars’ Mill went to Sugar Loaf Mountain last Sat urday. They enjoyed themsel ves to well that they speak of paying another visit to Chester field’s mountain. Mr. Elijah Brown, of Chester field, has repaired Old Taber nacle Church, and a meeting of some days is being carried on there. Mr. Brown has done a good work in putting the old placa of worship in proper con dition. GREEN PLAINS. Our farmers are behind with most of their crops; oats, we are glad to to report, look better. Several families in our com munity have been suffering from the effects of grip. The large corn crop made in this section last year is rapidly disappearing, while the price of rough feed is higher than it has been in several years. Mr. W. H. Huggins, one of our best and oldest men. died on the 29th of April. He was always active and hardworking, and was known all over the county as an|hone5-tand straight forward man. He leaves six daughters and one son. Mr. Huggins was a member of the Baptist Church. He was con scious of the approach of death, and his last words were “I am ready.” Come to our new store and get some big bargains; Black- well Bros. Closing out lot of sewing ma chines, some as goou as new; for cash or on easy terms at Blackwell Bros.’ CYPRESS. Mr. J. A. DuBose has gone to Wilmington on business. Mrs. Dr. J. M. Josey has the finest garden we have seen. Mrs. S. C. Parnell and Mrs. Hester Parnell are on a visit to friends at Kingstree, Several parties from this place speak of going to Charleston on the 14th., “Hampton Day.” General Green has appeared in full force; it is hoped the farmers will “get a move on them” and put a stop to his career. A few families had a picnic at McCall’s Bridge, Newman Swamp, last Saturday. They had a pleasant day and plenty of fish. Rev. P. A. Severance and Mr. J. W. DuBose attended the Dis trict Conference at Lake City last week, and report having had a pleasant time. Straw hats very cheap at Blackwell Bros.’ The Flor»( Fair. The ladies of the Horticul tural Society are to be congra tulated on scoring another sue cess at their recent exhibition. While, owing to continued rain and cool weather, the show of roses was not as large as was hoped for, the quality of the ex hibit was all that could be de sired, and as a social affair the entertainment of last Thursday night has been prosounced one of great enjoyment. The spacious rooms of the Darlington Guards’ Armory were thrown open at 8 o’clock. The drill hall presented a beau tiful scene: on the left of the entrance were stands contain ing handsome specimens of pot plants, conspicuous among them being most beautiful callas and cacti; and beyond these the dis play of roses and other cut blooms. A pyramid vase of Papa Gontier roses received un iversal admiration, and a wait er of Marechal Niel blooms was ronounced by some the most autiful, in color and shape, they had ever seen. The ex hibit of Climbing Devoniensis roses was unusually fine. The stage was occupied by a “wheel of fortune”; and two gipsy maidens were kept busy telling the future to an eager crowd of young people. A picturesque well near the centre of the hall was presided over by a charming Rebecca, and on the right was a pretty refreshment booth, draped with white and yellow, where ice cream and cake were sferved. At eleven o’clock the dancing began, which added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The premium list is as follows: Roses: best twelve, Mrs H. E, P. Sanders, $3; second best. Mrs. R. W. Lide. $1; best six, Mrs. T. W. Norment, $2; second best six, Mrs. C S. McCullough, $1; best single rose, Mrs C. S. Mc Cullough, $1; second best, Mrs. T. W.

We challenge the town in groceries, both as to quality and prices; Sims & Young. ■ - $4.50 for a real nice suit of clothes at Blackwell Bros.’ Mrs. Gray (to triend who has been to prayer meeting)—“Did you have a good meeting?” Mrs. White—“Rather uninteresting. None of the men who spoke had ever done anything bad.”—fioa- to» Tranter ipt. Harry Hammond Killed. [Florence Messenger.] A very sad and unfortunate accideut occurred at the Irby Street crossing yesterday after noon at about 6 o’clock. The report that somebody was killed at the crossing reached the crowds around the precincts and when the people went to the scene a fearful sight was before them and it caused many an eye to fill with tears. Little Harry R. Hammond the young est son of the late Mr. J. W. Hammond was the victim of this sad occurrence. It seems that he had been down the street on an errand and was returning to the house of Mr. H. D. Hubbart, who lives just across the track and near Irby Street. There were a number of box cars on the tract and directly in the path of the boy. Instead of walking around them, he at tempted to cross under one of them and just as he started to do so the shifting engine backed back to make a coupling. The wheels struck little Hammond and his life was crushed out of his body. Engineer Talavast was in charge of the engine, but no blame can be attacned on him for the accident. When the physians arrived, and they got there among the first, the boy’s pulse had ceased to throb and it is the opinion that death was almost instantaneous. The funeral services will be held this evening at 4 o’clock from the residence of his mother on Evans Street. S. WOLFRAM. SUEWELER.Ee AND DEALER IN Advertisement of W. H. Snow. Aft^r three years of costly litigation the writer and paten tee holds all the patents and trade-marks which he formerly assigned to the Modern Barn Company, and is now prepared to sell territory and tobacco sticks and baskets and material of all description used in the construction of barns. During the last three years the Snow process of curing to bacco has received marked at tention from seven different States, whose experimental sta tions have issued bulletins high ly commending the new method, and in some States have enter ed into an exhaustive analysis of the tobacco after curing, ful ly demonstrating the superority of the new plan, while W. F. Clark received the highest award at the World’s Fair for tobacco grown in Louisiana and cured in the Snow Barn for ci gar and chewing tobacco. My inventions are fully cov ered and protected by a number of Letters Patent of the United States. The short cross wire with its sharp fixed points set tles forever the process of the leaf cure. As the placing of the eye in the point of the needle held the perfect sewing ma chine and prevented any man from defrauding its inventor, we intend that our device shall be held for the benefit of the man who invented it. There have been, and we expect that there will be, many attempts to rob the inventor of the fruits of his labor by evasion of his pa tented rights. None have suc ceeded and none can succeed. My patents cover, among oth er things, all tobacco sticks with projecting prongs on each side, at right angles to the stick, by any and all permanent means of attachment, no matter how attached or fastened. I will, at any cost, protect customers as well as myself against any attempt to evade or infringe upon my rights by us ing, making or selling any part of our patented inventions. I give this early notice of my pur pose that no one may have trou ble. My next move will be ac tiqn. Mr. J. E. Brockington.of Kingstree, S. C., whom I have this day appointed as my sole and only agent for the State of South Carolina to sell county rights, to make and use my pa tent Tobacco Sticks, Tobacco Baskets and Tobacco Furnaces and Barns, he being my only true and lawful agent for the State of South Carolina.
