Mr. and Mrs. Baird have the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement. Much Needed Improvement*. The street force is now making a pavement on the hill leading to Swift Creek. This has long been needed, and those who live in that part of the town, or across the creek, will be greatly benefited by the improvement. It is also intended, we under stand, to place an electric light at the intersection of this street w;th the new street running up by Mr.C. B. Edwards’ handsome residence. The hill is really dangerous at night when there are any vehicles going down it, and a lamp placed at the point named will give a good light as far as the bridge. Business Changes. McCall & Burch, as already mentioned in these columns, will move their place of ' usiness on Aug. 1 to the stand on the east side of the public square occupied until recently by J D. Joye. J. D.

The two stores in the Hewitt build ing which have been occupied all this time by McCall & Burch and J. D. Baird, respectively, will then be thrown into one, and Sligh & Rucker are going to move in it, as they tfill require considerably more room for their fall trade than they have at present.

The game of ball played at the park on Friday last between Di.rlington and High Hill re suited in a victory for Darling ton by a score of 15 to 4.

This makes the fourth game that the local team has played this sea son, and it has won every one of them by heavy scores. They are very anxious to arrange for a series of games for the sum mer, and have asktd us to re 3 uest the captains of clubs iu ifferent parts of this and other counties to correspond with Mr. D. F. McCullough, of the Dar lington team, with that end in view. We have ordered out wire for the new method of curing tobac co as explained at the last meet ing of the Tobacco Growers' Association by Mr. Bright Wil liamson. Welling & Bonnoitt. Prof. A. Poindexter Taylor, of Harfsville, was in town on Tuesday. Prof. Taylor says that, in connection with the Rev. J. W. Perry, he expects to start a new newspaper at Hartsville, this county, at an early day, the subscription price to which will be fifty cents a year. The paper, which is to be puolished every other week, is to be de voted to religious and education al matters, and, in particular, to the furtherance of the inter ests of the Welsh Neck High School. Burglar* Galore. Burglars entered the store of Mr. M. D. Trull, on Railroad Street, near the old Coast Line depot, on Friday night last, and stole a number o. small packa ges of groceries, but were evi dently frightened off before they finished their operations One of them put in the field of corn opposite the store his shoes and a clock, and, in his hasty departure, let them stay there, where they were found the next morning. The entrance into the store was effected by break ing open a window. Near this window, inside the store, were a number of small packages of groceries, which, in his flight, the burglar had left. The mon ey drawer had been tampered with, but had not been opened. The clock which was found in the field proved to be one that was stolen from the residence of R. W. Boyd, Esq., on the same night. The robbery at Mr. Boyd’s was evidently com mitted in the earlier part of the night, and then the same party entered Mr. Trull’s store. At Mr. Boyd’s the burglar seemed to want to appease his hunger, as he ate a lot of cake, preserves, &c., which were in the dining room, the only room he entered. The clock was taken fiom tlie mantel, and, besides the eatables, was the only thing stolen from the residence. The matter was reported to the Chief of Police,and he is now at work on both cases, though no arrests have yet been made. leaned against a post or a tree, as is now the case. An Eminent Divine. The Rev. E. C. Dargan, D. D., of the Southern Baptist Theolog ical Seminary, of Louisville, Ky., preached at the Baptist Church on Sunday last. Dr. Dargan is considered one of the finest preachers of the day, and is one of the ablest of the Bap list ministry. He has recently been elected to the chair occu pied by the late Dr. John A. Broadus. Dr. Dargan was born and raised in Darlington, and has a host of friends and rela tives here, all of whom were pleased to welcome him back to the home of his boyhood. Darlington i* Proud of Them. At the commencement exer cises of the South Carolina Col lege held at Columbia last week, Mr. S. Frank Parrott, of the Sophomore class,who is a son of Dr. 8. F. Parrott, of this place, was announced as “distinguish ed in pedagogics and proficient in history.” Mr. W. W. Garn er, a son of the late J. N. Garn er, Esq., led the Junior class, his published record being, “dis tinguished in laboratory work, chemistry, physics; proficient in Latin, psychology.” Mr.Gar ner attended the Citadel Acade my, in Charleston, for two years, and it was only this time last year that we had the pleasure of calling attention to the fact that he was at the head of the Third class in that institution. Darlington is Not Proud of Him Mr. Nick Shepard, a rather notorious young man about- town, a son of the proprietor of the “Racket Store,” left here under sensational circumstances a few weeks ago, which were not given in these columns at the time because we do not pub lish such things in Tmk News These circumstances were, how ever, well known in thecommu nity. Since then, Mr. Shepard has gotten into trouble again. He shot a man iu the city of Boston last week. The Boston papers give the following ac count of the difficulty: “Nicolas Shepard, a young man with a flute like voice, pre seated before Judge Brown this morning the worse pair of eyes that it has been his honor's privilege to see since his appoint ment to the bench. To say sim ply that they were black would not describe them. And yet Shepard was the defendant in a shooting which it is alleged took place in a house numbered 275 North St. yesterday morning William Joyce, a man almost twice the size of Shepard, testi fied: ‘This man,’ pointing to Shepard, ‘was in the house when I went in. He was growling about not having received his right change, and showed me $1.40, which he said he received out of a two dollar bill. I asked him how much the drinks came to, and he said sixty cents then told him he had his right change. We had some words, and the next I knew, he shot me (pointing to bis left hip), right in here.’ John Silver, a comanion of Shepard’s, said that when they went in and called for the first round of drinks he (Silver) had only a quarter, which he arranged with the proprietor of the es tablishment that he would pay, with the understanding that he was to pay the balance due the next time he called atths place. Shepard tried to get the second round drinks for the same mon ey. that is twenty-five cents. Another witness testified that when Shepard found that he ould not get the drinks for twenty-five cents, the price at which he understood Silver to have gotten them, he pulled out a pistol with the remark, “I’ll fix you”; that this was before the man Joyce came in. Shep ard testified that the row began after Joyce got into the house, and not before. That he and Joyce got into an altercation. ‘He struck me,” said Shepard. ‘1 struck back at him. Then he stooped down like a prize fight er, and taking hold of me be neath the arms, rushed me to ward the window to fire me out. I fired a shot at him then, and only then. After that all hands took a hand at pounding me with their fists, broom-sticks, and whatever they could get hold of. I needn’t say that they beat me pretty bad despite my pleading with them to call an officer—my facejshows that. Af ter they got tired of pounding me, they dragged me into the yard, and then sent tor an of ficer.’ The Court declined ju risdiction, and held the defend ant in $2,000 for the Grand Ju- ry.” A Word About Tobacco Flue*. [CoininuDioated.J The tobacco growers of Dar lington County will please take notice that, by actual count, there have been 530 new barns built in this county this year, and that not enough iron has been shipped into this county yet to make that number of flues. Iron having advanced half a cent at the mills, there will not be any more ordered unless at an advance. In order to be sure of getting flues, those who want them had better at tend to it at once. Filled up Hi* Barn June 17. [Southern Tobacco Journal.] We have received a letter from Mr J. S. Brockington, ex sheriff of Williamsburg county. S. C., informing us that he has already cured a barn of tobacco of this year’s crop. He filled up June 17. Mr. Brockington claims that this breaks the rec ord, and we believe it does. We have never heard of a barn of tobacco in the United States be ing cured so early in the season before. Mr. Brockington top ped his tobacco from sixteen to twenty four leaves. His first cutting was done exactly fifty days from the time tne plants were taken from the bed. A Most Interesting Meeting. (Reported for Thk News.) The regular monthly meeting of the Tobacco Growers’ Asso ciation was held in the Court House on Tuesday, Gen. W. E. James presiding. The subjects for discussion were priming, topping and curing. Able and instructive addresses were de livered bv Messrs. B. F. Wil liamson. D. M. Smoot and others after which the president re quest* d Mr. H. E. Harman, the “wide awake” editor of the Southern Tobacco Journal, who was present, to give them a talk. Mr. Harman was far from well, but he made a few remarks which were exceedingly compli mentary to our people, and en couraging to all the farmers present. He spoke of the fine attendance at the meeting, and the mode of conducting it. He said it would be but a short time when this section would grow in abundance the finest tobacco in this country, and that the yield per acre was much larger now than in Virginia and North Carolina. The committee appointed to look after the interests of the members in the matters of loy alties claimed by certain pat entees of barns, sticks, &c., made its report behind closed doors. Resolutions of thanks were then voted to the commit tee for its good report, and also to Mr. Harmon for his words of good cheer. The president read a few statistics which were very interesting. The number of acres planted in this county last year was 770; barns constructed, 130. This year there is an in crease of 3,000 acres, and 530 barns. These fig tres show that tobacco culture has become one of the leading industries of our people. A letter was read from Com missioner E L. Roche, in which he stated that they would allow a special space for tobacco ex hibits from this county in At lanta; that all other exhibits would be placed in the State collection, and would be plain ly marked with the exhibitor’s name and post office address. The subjects for discussion at the next meeting of the Assoc! ation are grading, packing anc selling. These subjects will al so be discussed at the next meeting of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association, which will be held at the fair grounds the first week in August. those around it. The plant seems to be buttan- ing out lower this year than us ual, owing to the cold and un seasonable weather, and where the land is strong and the plant well manured it should be top ped higher than under similar circumstances on poor land. The disposition seems to be to top rather too high, and to put it off too long. The lower leaves, which are not worth curing, should have been primed off be fore now, and if not already done, it should be done at once, so that the substance in them will go into ihe leaves which are to be cured. The plant should not have advanced so that the button will not readily snap off in topping, or so much as to throw away much of the manure or plant in the top. For ward tobacco should be on a considerable bed, and should be hilled up by this time, while the plant in a' less forward state, say about two feet high, should be bedded up, primed and hilled very soon. Some of the crops in the coun ty are looking very fine, while others are not—you would ex pect better. But those whose expectation have not been ful filled should not be discouraged, as there is lots of “cone out” in the tobacco plant. HOPEWELL. The Holiness preachers are loitering around, sizing up pea patches and spring chickens. Our farmers are having fine weather for farm work, and are laying by corn in excllent con dition. We are glad to state that the Rev. J. J. Reynolds is able to resume his duties as Superin tendent of the Sunday School at this place. DOVESVILLE. Miss Julia Anna McCallman has returned from visiting in Florence. The big ditch which was to drain Lake Como has been about completed. This community was blessed with copious rains on Saturday and Sunday last. Rev.J. B. Holly and family have moved into the parsonage, and we will now have preaching every Sunday.

(Communicated, j Our attention has been called to the fact that worms have se- riously injured several tobacco crops. Great care should bo taken just now to keep the worms off the plant. Every field and patch should be watch ed daily until the present crop of worms is gone. It is true that they should be gone now, and in some places they have disappeared, while in others they have lingered on. Some of the crops that have been injured are those of experienced grow ers, and the damage was so sud den that it was done before it was discovered. Where crops are badly taken with worms, we advise the use of a little paris f reen as well as careful picking. he holes in the leaf never grow smaller, but, on the contrary, as the leaf grows larger the holes grow larger with it. If you wake up some fine morning and find that the worms have a hold on you r tobacco crop, our advice is that you had better “get a move on you and hustle.” The average plant should be well up now, and ready for top ping, if this has not already been done. This is the most important feature in the pro duct ion of tobacco, and the greatest care and judgmert should be exercised in the num ber of leaves topped at, as each plant may vary from ST A TE OF SO VTH CA HO LINA.
