In striking contrast to those who are really trying to bring the white people of the State togeth er, is this fire brand in the exe cutive chair, who has beenpre- lendimj to be trying to do that, but who, as a matter of fact, has driven them farther and farther apart by the arrogant, dictatorial, and unseemly man nor that he has assumed. South Carolinians have never been bullied yet, and never will be. VV’hat hope is there of an ulti mate union between the white people when the chief expon ent of Tillmanism is man as this? The case seems to grow more and more hopeless as time goes on. Straw hats, ladies’ and misses slippers; Blackwell Bros. Memoritl Day In Darlington. (Reported for Thk News.)

John Schmid, formerly assist ant postmaster at this place, was convicted last week at the terra of the United States Court now being held in Charleston of embezzling funds from the post- office. He did not answer to his name when it was called, and was tried in his absence. Schmid’s whereabouts are at present unknown. Perfect shoals of dead and dying fish, of all kinds and sizes, are pouring down Swift Creek. It is quite a sight to stand on the Bridge on the Soc iety Hill road and watch them as they go by. It is thought by some that the phenomenon is due to the acid which pours into the stream trom a drain running from the phosphate works. “Do the State Bar Room* Utter Queer Coin as Well as Queer Whiskey?' Under the above startling head lines, the following article appeared in the Mews and Cour ier of May 10th: A case on trial it- the United States Court yesterday disclosed somethin); rather startling and gives rise to the question as to whether the dispensa ries are purveyors of counteriit money as well as XXX whiskey? A young man named Marshall was tried for passingcounterlitmoney.and the proof clearly established the fact that he was in possession of four counterfeit half dollars, and that he had passed three of them at Florence in Decem ber last. His defence was that he had changed a $5 bill in the dispensary at Darlington tne week before and that he obtained the half dollars which he passed at Florence from the dis penser. A number of witnesses from his neighborhood testified to Ids good character and several witnesses prov ed that other countertit coin was known to have been in possession ol the dispenser »t that point. Upoir this testimony the defendant was ac- -quitted, and it is apparent that the jury believed that he obtained the counterfeit money at the dispensary. This is a “pretty tough” yarn, but it not a new one. It has be come quite the fashion for those found with counterfeit money in their possession to claim that it was given them at the dispensa ry. We believe that’s even the defence of old man Sherrill, who was found with all the imple ments of the nefarious calling on him! The dispensary is bad enough in all conscience. It has sins enough of its own to answer for, without it’s being saddled with the sins of others. Besides, Mr. Skinner is an honest man; if he passed any counterfeit mon ey, he passed it as an honest man would do—without know ing that it was counterfeit. As j a matter of fact, we do not be lieve that he ever gave “four counterfeit half dollars” in change to Marshall or to any body else. The Darlington Shoe Store has just received a full line of Edwin C. Burt’s celebrated hand sewed shoes and Oxfords for ladies in all the latest stvles. Call and see them; Wood's & Milling. ed in Darlington as Memorial Day, as has been the custom for so many years, hut this year there was shown more than the usual interest in its coming. There was a much larger attend ance, especially of the children, though it was apparent that the ranks of the Veterans are get ting smaller every year. At 4.30 o’clock in the afternoon the town bell begun to toll, which was the signal for the assemb ling of the Darlington Guards, under command of Lieut. J. E. Boyd, and the Confederate Vet erans, under the command of Col. E. R. Mclver, at the Arm ory. The Guards, in citizen’s dress, were the escort, and the procession marched to the Bap tist Church, where it was met by the girls and boys, with flowers, who, with open ranks, awaited its coming. The long column, soldiers, veterans and citizens, marched into the church to the sound of solemn music, and the people took their seats. The Solemn hush which brooded over ihe assembly was in keeping with the occasion, for truly again and again, on each recurring 10th. of May, do we attend the funerals of those brave spirits who, so many years ago, laid down their lives for us and for South Carolina. A selected choir of male voic es then sang “He givethHis be loved sleep” for the opening ex ercise, after which the Rev. R. W. Lide read an appropriate selection and made a prayer. The choir then sang, “Let the dead and the beautiful rest”. This was rendered with excel lent taste and expression, and many hearts were touched by the sentiment conveyed in the appropriate words. The pro cession then moved out of the church and marched to the dif ferent church-yards where each soldier’s grave was in turn cov ered with flowers. In the Pres byterian church-yard the graves were marked with -miniature Confederate flags instead of the usual white flag which has been used for so many years. This was both appropriate and sug gestive, and it would be well should the idea be generally adopted. The Monument had been part ly decorated in the morning, and on its four sides there were portraits of President Davis, General Lee, General Jackson, and the “Bayard” of South Carolina, tho beloved Hampton. A choir of children, assisted by a quartette of male voices, sang “Tenting To-night”. Then Mr. E. Keith Dargan, a soldier of “the Lost Cause”, in his own impressive way, reminded us that we had come again to a spot sacred to the memory of our brothers, and dear to the hearts of all who live in this land, to pay a tribute to the dead of the tattered battalions, who, thirty years ago, made the name of the “Confederate Sold ier” a symonym of all that was heroic in the annals of war. He then introduced Miss Annabelle Johnson, who recited with much feeling and expression “The Bi vouac of the Dead”. The cho rus sang, with hushed voices, The Officer’s Funeral,’’and the monument was covered with flowers. In this impressive ceremony there was nothing of the pomp and circumstance of war, but amid the toiling of bells, and with sad hearts, we gathered around the broken altars of our country, and testified our love for those who had died in her defense. It was a tribute to duty hrayely done. There was no need of the sound of drum or trumpet. “Tears have their time to fall”, but even they could not blot out the proud memory of those whose noble deeds have rendered them im mortal. Marriage of Mr. E. M. Well*, Mist Anna Rogers. [Reported for Thk News.] At six oclock Tuesday after noon the Methodist Church here held such a gathering as is sel dom seen within its doors. This church has been beautifully decorated on many occasions, but never did any prettier or more artistic decorations add to its beauty than were seen on Tuesday afternoon at the event ful hour named above The Methodist Church, strange to say, was never decorated for a wedding until Tuesday. How this happened no one can tell exactly, but it is a fact never theless. The beautiful decora tions and the interested and ex pectant audience were all await ing the coming of a bridal party, the occasion being tho solemn ization of the marriage of Mr. Edward M. Wells, Jr., and Miss Anna Rogers. The quiet old church had waited long for this happy occasion, and surely a such a prettier and more winsome bride really j could not have been desired than the one that was the cen tral figure of this beautiful pic ture. The decorations were simply and most artistically beuutiful: without being at all elaborate, they had all the fin ish and effect of this, because a definite idea was created and carried out in this part of the work. The chancel was railed off with a white and green flow er fence, a beautiful gateway like arch forming the cento'- piece. At the end of each aisle, very near the chancel, was a similar arch, and the pulpit stand and adjacent columns were literally covered with ex- quisit lilies, pot plants and ferns. Surmounting each arch, and ev ery beautiful post of the dain ty and lovely fence, were light ed wax tapers, and behind, re cessed in the garlands and banks of flowers and evergreens, were handsome specimens of old fash ioned candelabra,with the lights softly burning. Into this scene of beauty, arranged expressly for her, came the young bride, graceful, fair and trusting, lean ing on the arm of the fortunate and happy groom. The church was fiilwi with friends of both parties, and a row of eager faces lined each side of the galleries. The bridal couples entered the church in pairs, a couple going up each aisle, crossing in front of the chancel, and returning the same way. Miss Louise Bell, of Charleston, stood with Mr. M. Howard Norment, Miss Nonie Williamson with Mr. J. Hicks Bunting, of Wilmington, Miss Nela Davis, of Charleston, with Mr. F. H. Stockman, of Wilmington, Miss Emma Wil liamson with Mr. R. B. Mason, of Wilmington, Miss Maggie Law with Mr. Eugene Vaughan and Miss Margaret Wells, of Cheraw, was with Mr. J. D. Baird. The little flower girls were Misses Effie Rogers and Pat Woods, and Messrs. D. G. Coit, E. R. Cox, S. H. Wilds and R. L. Dargan were the ush ers. The bride was attired in a handsome traveling dress, the pretty bridesmaids all wore white swiss dresses, pink and blue ribbons, leghorn hats with chiffon roses, and the grooms men were stylish looking in black cutaway suits, white tics ard light tan gloves. The Rev. R. W. Barnwell performed the ceremony, the impressive and beautiful Episcopal ceremony. The music was very fine, being a combination with tho organ and violin, Mrs. A. M. Woods and Mr. J W. Evans presiding oves this beautiful part of the services. The bridal party and a few intimate friends were given a reception on the eve of the wed ding at the heme of the bride’s parents. The presents were numerous and handsome, and the one presented by the Epis copal Church, of which con gregation Miss Rogers was or ganist, was handsome and much appreciated. Two honored guests of the occasion were Mr. and Mrs Nimacks, of Fayette ville, N. C. Mr. Wells, the groom, is in business with Mr. Nimacks, and it was a graceful compliment paid him and one that showed the place Mr. Wells holds in his business relations. The wedding was a beautiful one, and all hoped that its beau tiful moments of peace and joy might follow the lives of those who plighted their troth to one another. Mr. Wells is well and popularly known here by many friends, but he is now a rising young business man of WiL mington, where their future home will be. Miss Anna Ro gers is one Darlington’s favor ites, and fairer bride never left us Into her new home only kind wishes go with her, but she will he missed by many who have known her and loved her.

Just across the railroad track, Messrs. Smoot & McGill have broken ground for the erection of their tobacco ware> house, which is to be 80x125 feet. The smoking tobacco factory recently begun here and con ducted so successfully by Mes srs. Burch & Burch has been bought out by a stock company composed of Messrs. I. S. Burch, C. S. McCullough, L. S. Well ing, W. J.'Moorhead and A. Nachman. The books of sub scription to the capital stock of the company are now open. The plant of the factory is be ing moved this week to the two story building directly north of the passenger depot known as the Jeffords store, where the enterprise, with the greatly in creased capital and facilities now at its command, will be conducted on a much more ex tensive scale in the future. In addition to the large three- story prize house for packing tobacco the contract for the erection of which, as already mentioned, has been awarded by Mr. John Coleman, the pro prietor, to Mr. H. J. LaMotte, there are to be two other prize houses built iu the same local ity. Each of these buildings is to be 40x100 feet and three stor ies in height. Work on them will be begun at a very early day. The warehouse of the Darling ton Grocery and Warehouse Company, located in the neigh borhood of this same “hive of industry”, is about completed, and is packed full of staple gro ceries. The Company is now busy erecting a long line of stables for sheltaring the st >ck of its oustoraers from the coun try when they come to town. Messrs Moorhead, Cox & Co. are contemplating the erection in this locality of a brick ware house, 40x100 feet. Mr. P. B.

No one responded to her invitation, however, and the meeting was brought to a close. The audi ence was a good sized one, ma ny ladies being present, and the strictest attention was paid to the remarks of the speakers. Dr. A. T. Baird and Mr. J. C. Moon ey were the ushers for the oc casion. Just before the close of the meeting a collection was taken up by Messrs. C. S. Mc Cullough, S. A. Woods, J. 0. Mooney, and Dr. A. T.
