White, the popular representative of John C. Weit- ers, grocer, of Charleston, ar rived in town yesterday after an absence of over a year. Col. White is looking as well and chipper as ever and is chock full of enthusiasm over the fu ture of Darlington, his home. He showed us the manufactur ed goods of the Darlington to- 1 bacco works and it is without a doubt as fine as we ever saw. \ The tobacco manufactured by , this concern was grown largely in the Salem section of this county and some of it was grown in the adjoining coun ties. The Colonel is a firm be liever in the tobacco growing qualities of our lands and he gays that as fine tobacco can be, and has been grown iu Clarendon as ever grew in North Carolina or Virginia. In M«moriam. The following Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted by Darlington Lodge, No. 7, K. of P., at a meeting held Tuesday, May 7, A. D. 1895; Since the last meeting of this ' Lodge, our community has been brought together as a commu- nity of mourners to pay the last tribute of respect to one who was a member of this Order. Dr. Jas. C. Willcox. At his last resting place we have gathered while the mound was being made which marks now the place where rests all that was mortal of our brother. Into our midst hath the reaper of our immorrality been, and into the harvest eternal the spirit of one of the brightest and most earn est of our Knights; one whose presence in our ranks shall be ever missed, and whose absence we shall ever mourn. None of his many worthy and active co-laborers and associa tes in this Lodge excelled Will cox in the high appreciation he had for the order, or in his exer tions to carry out and perpetu ate her high aims and purposes. To Knights young and old alike was he companion, and to many of us was he a tutor in much- pertaining to our knighthood. Ever ready to give counsel and advice to the young and rising Knight, and prepared always to share the responsibilities and undertakings of the older ones, he was a man whose opinions we respected, and who in emer gencies could be relied upon. To those who knew him best he was of that order of men who belong to the highest type. Positive in his opinions, and true to his convictions, he was ever ready to take his place and stand his ground final and for ever for what he deemed right, it mattered not if it placed him in the ranks of a hopeless mi nority. When he was a friend he was ever a friend, and thus in his life was ever exemplified the high order of the friendship of Damon aud Pythias on which, ns Pytjiians, we strive to build our friendships, and form the ties which bind us one to the other. Be it resolved, therefore, that we bow in submission to the bupremedecree which has called our brother hence, and deprived us of his presence and his fellow- *bip, recalling with thankful ness and appreciation his many Virtues as citizen, physician and Knight. We shall miss him both in and out of Lodge; and although time may lessen our •orrow for our loss, memory will ever hold dear to us the face, the life, and the many noble attri butes of character which belong ed to Dr. Jas. C. Willcox; Resolved, that the K. of R. J®d 8. conve y t 0 hj 8 afflicted family, at the earliest opportu- a copy of this Preamble and these Resolutions, ana our expression of appreciation and heartfelt symphaty for the heavy loss that they have sus tained; Resolved, that the K. of R. •®a 8. be instructed to publish ‘his Preamble and these Resolu- wons in the next issue of Thk Varunqton News; Resolved, that a blank page m our minute book be inscribed, Wording the date of Dr. Will- cox’s birth, death, and his union and association with this Lodge.
