Coggeshall has the energy and
ability to conduct it with suc

make a good thing out of it both
for himself and for the commu
nity.

Mors work For Ths Lawyers.
(Sumter Cor., New-and Courier, June
25.1
A representative of Mr. Sam
Lewenthal, of Darlington, was
in this city last night looking
into the matter of the seizure of
a keg of liquor by Constable
Brown. He endeavored to have
the Constable release the liquor,
saying that it was intended for
K rsonal use. Constable Browd,
lieving that he had just
'rounds for seizing the keg of
iquo-, refused to accede to the
request of Mr. Lewenthal’s rep
resentative, which probably
means some more work for the
lawyers.

Pin* Needles Hurt Young Tobacco.
Editor, News and Courier:
One of our leading tobacco
( lanters remarked recently that
e had tried to keep up with all
the articles on tobacco culture,
but that he had neevr seen in
any of them any caution about
planting near pine trees. His
crop this season, planted near a
f iine thicket, demonstrates that
t will never do. The pine straws
blown by the wind do as much
damage as the worms. They
f ierce the leaves, making holes,
t may be well to call attention
to this for the’ benefit of of oth
ers. The pine straws or “need-
lee” are very sharp and pene
trate tobacco easily. C.

Newman Swamp School.
The closing exercises of Mr.
A. J. A. Ferritt’s school at New
man Swamp took place on
Friday last. The editor of
The News delivered the
annual address in Newman
Swamp Church at 11 o’clock A.
M .being introduced by the Rev.
Mr. Baker, the pastor of the
church. A large and attentive
audience was present.
The children had their exhi
bition in the school house at 8
o’clock in the evening. A large
crowd of spectators (fully a
thousand in all) were in attend
ance, ai d the most perfect or
der was presen ed throughout
the entertainment, which was
greatly enjoyed by all present.
The children, one and all, gave
evidence of the careful training
they had received at the hands
of their accomplished instruct
or, Mr. Perritt.
What Mr. Perritt has done
for this school, and the commu
nity in which it is located, du
ring the past few years can
scarcely be overestimated. A
thorough scholar,a fine discipli
narian and a hard worker, be
has gradually built up there an
institution which is a credit to
Darlington County. Few com
munities are as fortunate as this
one in the matter of educational
advantages, and it is not to be
wondered at that everybody who
knows him has a good word for
Mr. Perritt. The editor of The
News would take this opportu
nity of saying that one of the
most enjoyable days of his life
was passed at Newman Swamp
on Friday last. Hospitable,
genial, well informed, the peo-
le of that section are typical
outh Carolinians in every re
spect.

(News and Courier-l
The meeting of the Darling
ton County Tobacco Growers’
Association on Tuesday was at
tended, it is reported, by two
hundred representatives of the
industry from four counties
Darlington, Florence, Williams
burg and Marion, and great in
terest was manifested in the
new industry. In view of its
success wherever it has been
tried, the only matter for won
der is that every county was
not represented. The acreage
in Darlington County, it was of
ficially reported, has increased
600 percent the present year.
This fact alone should be enough
to wake up the farmers of the
less progressive counties to their
neglected opportunity. The
Darlington farmers would not
go into the industry on this scale
if they had not learned by expe
rience or obsevation that it is a
paying one.
