Aulford, co planters from all over the colored, at this place on yestor- | State could not have attended and seen for themselves the full meaning of this truly important occasion. Hundieds or thou sands of pounds of tobacco were piled up in fine, splendidly equip ped warehouses, buyers from every section were here, and B day and took him to Florence ^ail to await a preliminary hear ing. Aulford was postmaster at Caplan’s, a station on the Charleston, Sumter, and North ern Railroaid, until recently, and it is stated that a shortage of stamps was found by the newly everything showed a well estab- appointed postmaster and it is lished business of the greatest further stated that Aulford has magnitude Prices ranged from: been selling stamps to different 5 cents to $1.05 per pound, and persons for loss than their face thousands o f pounds sold at 15,30 value, and United States In- TURN ON THE “SEARCH-LIGHT.” The failure of the Managers of Election to have the revised registration list for 1895 at the polls here on election day was a serious matter, and one that de mands the searching investiga tion that Mr. W. F. Dargan is giving to it. The defendants scout at the idea of its having been the result of any conspir acy on their part to prevent a full vote from being polled here, and allege that the absence of the books was due to an acci dent. This is just one of the kind of ‘‘accidents” that ought not to be allowed to happen, however, and those responsible for it should be made to know and to appreciate that fact ful ly. Men w ho accept responsible positions should be taught that the duties connected with them are to be discharged etticently, and that the mere failure so to discharge them may sometimes amount to criminality, even when the “intent” is wanting, as the defendants allege to be the case in this instance. That a considerable proportion of the white voters of a precinct should be deprived t of the franchise through the fault of officials who are put in charge of the election by theState authorities, is a condition of things that may occur just once too often, and our people are getting tired of it. Let the result of this un pleasant episode be that the next time three persons consent to serve as Managers of Election for Darlington precinct, they will be*at the polls at the time required by law for them to be opened, with the revised regie tration lists at hand, and with all the facilities for receiving promptly the ballot of every duly qualified voter who pre sents himself for the exercise of the franchise. 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 cents per pound.

N. in the Rewn and Courier.] Darlington, August 25.—It has been a long time, quite a very long time, since the busi ness men of Darlington have felt as much encouraged as they are now. Tobacco is the cause of the “revival,” and well may the business men of this section feel enthused at the outlook. When the tobacce edition of the News and Courier was publish ed last January many who did not know thought that the esti mates for this season’s crop were outside figures. The writ er of the article said he knew that they were inside figures, because exact information was his, and he had put the figures on the safe side. Nothing in the business history of Darling ton equals what was seen here last Thursday and Friday, the days fixed for openir^ the sea son, _ getting prices started, “feeling” the crop situation and calculating things generally. One day was appointed for the break, with the understanding that a division of time would be made, selling at one warehouse in the morning and at the other in the afternoon. Until the very last minute the weather could not have been more un favorable, yet look at these facts for results. Local plant ers turned their wagons back in order that those coming from a distance might be accommodated. Instead o f one day it took more than two days to seU the tobac* co, and this with six auctioneers - _ instead of two. Some planters aervices lasting nearly I think I can give some interest ing information regarding a new forage crop. Mr. J. F. White, a Kentucky horse train er, who has been located here for several years, has been ex perimenting on various kinds of (orage. He needs to be well posted on this, as the expenses of feeding his blooded stock is quite an important considera tion. Mr. White thinks he has hit upon the very thing, and a look at what he says will prob ably incline others to share his opinion. He planted this year one*quarter of an acre in Teo* sinte, a South American forage E lant. ' From this little patch e has gathered one and a Quar ter tons of the finest kind of for age, and the crop is still luxuri ant. The plant is wonderful in many respects. From one seed I saw eighty-five shoots, each one looking like a corn stalk, only the blades are a little nar rower, much longer and many times thicker. Horses and cows eat it, green or cured, most ravenously, and leave grain or any other kind of food untasted whenever this is put near them. Mr. White is satisfied that twen ty-flve tons per acre of cured forage can be made from this crop. He planted his on ordin ary upland, with a fair broad casting of stable manure, and after cuttir g it he has, by act ual measurement, seen the shoots grow six inches in twen ty-four hours, ten inches in for ty hours. It was planted in checks 4 by 4 feet, and two un cut rows were over ten feet high, and as luxuriant a growth as I have ever seen. The seed never matures here, but they are not high, and can be easily obtained. Mr. White also experimented with red Kaffir corn, Beggar grass, Qiant Spurry, white branching Dura and yellow Miller maize. Of these he liked none, with the single exception of the Kaffir corn. This he is very much pleased with. The forage is fine and the seed are extra fine. The plant is pecu liar in that the seed grow like broom corn, on top of the stalk. It much resembles the ordinary sugar corn in appearance, and the seed are very much like our corn, only very much smaller and of a reddish brown color, Mr. White is thoroughly satis fled that he has solved the for age question, and expects to make ail he needs next season from a crop of five acres. The warrants againpt the managers of election, supervis ors and others at last Tuesday’s performance have been served, and Mr. W. F. Dargan is push ing the cases. On Friday the case against Mr. T. J. Kirven was tried before Trial Justice Warr, who heard all that had to be said, and dismissed the case. Mr. Dargan’s impromptu speech on that occasion was one of the finest things I have ever heard, and ought to have been taken down and published. The cases against the managers of elec tion here will he tried in the Court House Monday before Trial Justice Warr. A full sy- nopsif of the testimony in these cases will be published, as a thorough ventilation is about all that can be hoped for. Since the departure of the fit- tie girl preacher it seems hard for the religious feeling among the colored folkji to simmer down. Regular services have been held daily since her de parture, and an unusual occur rence transpired at one of the churches last night. The con gregation had assembled, the hour approached—the minute rather—when in,! walked five white persons, two males and three females. They walked to the front of the church, all took off their hats, and one of the men coolly commenced address ing the congregation. After m spector Smith, of Charleston, was notified of the fact and had Aulford arrested. The tobacco farmers of this section are delighted over their success in raising a fine crop of the weed and the great success they have met with in curing it. It is estimated by good ear’s tobacco ring and put into circulation half a million dollars in this county, and if this be true the acreage in to bacco will be increased in this county at least 100 per cent next year. We have been having plenty of rain all along and all the crops are fine in this section. The cotton crop is the best that we have had in several years and the farmers will make corn in abundance for home con sumption. It is stated by good farmers that there is more rice, molasses cane and sweet potato es made in this county this year than ever was known before. The merchants will have a hard time another year to sell the farmer any shipped rice or Western bacon. Sam Jonea the Star Attraction. 1 Asbury Park, N. J., August 25.—The Rev. Sam Jones was the star attraction to day. The morning text was “For God so joved the world,” etc. He said in part: “Woman, if you play cards and don’t want your son to be a gambler you’re a fool. If I had a telegram from my oldest son to-day saying that my wife had a progressive eu chre party or gave a wine sup per last night I would wire back at once to my son: 'Watch mother, she must be demented.’ If we can get the saloon keep ers of New York on the ruu we can clean liquor out of the coun try. The rum subsidized editors say we cannot keep saloons clos ed on Sunday; that the laboring man has got to have his beer. They say, 'Parkhurst, you’re a liar; you have disgraced your- self, you’re a failure,’ but he went up and up until Superin tendent Byrnes was compelled to put in his resignation. It's funny to see the prayers of As- burj Park and Ocean Grove trying to run out the devil, reminds me of a dog chasing a hog—the dog was in front. The devil knows that he has got control of the country as long as the Republicans and Demo* crats are in power. Men, if you don’t change your politics pret ty soon you ought to tell your wives to putyour summer clothes in your coffin.” To night, in a discourse on “Fake Christians,” Mr, Jones said it didn’t make any differ ence what people said of him in this world. They might call him a fake or a mountebank, but he was satisfied with the knowledge that he would have a front seat in Heaven, where he could sit and twang his gold- en harp. Htiltli Ordinance.
