DARLINGTON OUT OF THE WOODS.
The people of Darlington re
ceived some good news this
week. The only passenger train
which they ever see, and which
they have been prevented from
using heretofore by reason of j
the fact that it has been run-
ning up and down the road from Agents for Chattanooga Cane Mills, Patent Improved Evaporators.
Pregnal’s to Hamlet and return,
connecting nowhere with any
thing, has at last been made to
conform to a rational course of
conduct. Beginning with Mon
day morning last, it left Hamlet
at 6.1ft a. m., and Darlington at
8.11 a. m., arriving at Sumter
at 8.45, where it connects with
the fast mail that goes up every
morning from Charleston to
Columbia, reaching the latter
place at 11.0ft. This fast mail l
between the two cities now
leaves Columbia at 4.2ft in the
afternoon on t the return trip,
reaching Sumter at 5.43, and
connecting there with the C. S.
& N. train for Darlington, which
arrives here at 7.20 p. m. To
say that we are delighted with
the change would be expressing
our feelings mildly. It is sim
ply an ideal schedule, and could
not be improved upon. How long
will it be allowed to remain so?
We sincerely hope for many a
day. We have not had much
in the past to cultivate in us the
grace of hope. Our necessities
seemed to be so little regarded
that, until the fine schedule that
was put into effect on Monday
was vouchsafed to us, it really
looked sometimes as if our very
existence were being overlook
ed by the “powers that be.’
The schedule on the Coast Line
has been changed about every
other Monday morning, and un
til this one, each succeeding
change made it worse for Dar
lington than the one that came
before it. Perhaps, therefore,
our animation over our good
fortune had better, for a time,
at least, partake of the nature
of “suspended animation”. And
while the good fortune lasts we
can be happy, forgetting, in
comfortable coachs attached to
passenger trains, the “jim
crows” on the freight trains in
which the life is well nigh jol
ter out of one; forgetting, if
only for the time being, how
we used to scramble to get to
Columbia in the morning by the
use of freight trains that ran
only three times a week, and
how, if we wished to return the
same/lay it meant twelve hours
travel on the cars—six in the
morning and six in the evening,
—remembering only that we
can now take both breakfast
and supper at home, and spend
six hours ia the capital in the
meantime; that we can now
leave Darlington after break
fast and be in Greenville and
Spartanburg early in the after
noon. Just think of it!
See the Cyclone Thunderbolt!

Miss Maggie Jones
desires to announce to the ladies that she
is opening up a line of
MILLINERY
that for STYLE and PRICES
not to be excelled, and CAPS
babies. Also a line of
THE “IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.”
How about the proposition
we made in the last issue of The
News? Has it been received
with any favor throughout the
county? Will the Democratic
Executive Committee of the
county consider the propriety of
calling a convention to name
four delagates to the Constitu
tional Convention (two from
each political faction) to be vot
ed for at the primary? Are
there any persons in the county
who feel sufficient interest in
this matter to make them want
to exert themselves to avert the
apparent “irrepressible con
flict,” or are we to “fight it out”
after all with white men on one
side and white men on the other
and “the nigger” between them?
MAIL ORDERS receive careful and prompt attention.

HOSIERY.
We have first-class hose for
5 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 nandsome wrapper for 65
cents; a dandy, full sleeves,
collars and trimmed, only 98
cents; a “smasher,” ribbon
trimmed, only |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

Slippers, oxfords, black and tan,
tor ladies, misses and children,
all prices; come and see.
MEN’S AND BOYS’ HATS.
In this line we have straw and

hat for $1.28. They were com
pared last week; that settled it;
they are going like hot cakes.
Straw hats from 6 cems up.
Fine parasols, silk and ging
ham, 35 cents and up. Fans,
all prices. Umbrellas, silk and

Handsome striped duck for
men’s shirts, boys’ jackets, &c.,
only 7} cents. 40 inch Persian

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

manufacturers’ prices and take
out our profit, we would do it.
