A Unique Method of Advertising.
Mr. H. J. LaMotte has “hit
upon’’ a unique method of ad
vertising—one that so strongly
appeals to tbe judgment of our
iness men at -the verv first
ance that he finds no difficulty
in getting as many subscribers
as he vants. He has purchased
for one year the privilege of
using all the intarior wall space
of the two tobaqco warehouses
for advertising purposes, and is
now engaged in selling it out to
the merchants. As soon as he
hffdjsetsd of all of it, he will
leave for Atlanta, where he will
secure the services of a skillful
sign-painter, who is to paint the
advertisements on the walls of
the buildings in large and at
tractive letters. As the ware
houses will be visited by thous
ands of people during the year,
all of whom will read these ad
vertisements, their value to tbe
business men of the community
can scarcely be estimated. Mr.
LaMfftte is selling off the space
very rapidly, so those wishing
to secure any would do well to
see him at once.

Capt. H. T. Thompson,
Darlington, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Your favor of the 22nd
instant has just been received,
and [I cheerfully absolve you
from any participation, directly
or indirectly, in the use of your
name at the recent election. Be
tore you left town I told you
that our Executive Committee
would meet in a few days, and,
that while I did not know what
action they would take, I
thought they would probably
endorse the candidacy of Mess.
Perritt and Burn, and, in view
of the wide dissatisfaction in
both parties with Messrs. Moore
and Parrott, they would be dis
posed to place you and Mr.
Clements on a ticket with Mes
srs. Perritt and Burn. I did not
see you again, but you said you
opposed anything like a contest
at tbe general election, and that
it would be impossible for you
to allow the nse of your name
on a ticket that would bring
about such a contest.
* Our committee met, and tbe
matter was discussed as to the
best policy. It was suggested
that we nominate a ticket con
sisting of yourself, Capt. Clem
ents, and Messrs. Burn and Per
ritt, and issue an address to the
people of the County, calling on
them to support it, but we found
that it was too late to get the
address before the voters, and
it was decided jnst to have such
tickets printed and distributed,
so that the voters could havq
the opportunity, if they so de
sired, of voting for decent and
respectable men. It did not oc
cur to me, or to the committee,
that we were doing either you
or Mr. Clemente an injustice, as
neither of you had any political
aspirations, that we were aware
of; and as both of you had
signified your willingness, at
one time, under certain circum
stances, to stand as candidates
before the primary, the commit
tee thought they would use your
name* to perform a patriotic
duty, especially as no other
Conservatives known to the
committee had ever indicated
that they would make the neces
sary sacrifice. I am satisfied
that all tbe people of the Coun
ty are fully aware of your posi
tion in this matter, and I take
the responsibility, if you have
been placed in any false posi
tion, of exonorating you, and
will again say that your name
was used without your know!
edge and against your positive
instructions.
Yours truly,
W. F. Dakoan.

[Darlington Cor., News and Courier ]
Daklington, August 26.—A
preliminary hearing of the
charges of fraud in the recent
election was held here to-day,
before Trial Justice Warr. Mr.
J. F. Garner, supervisor °f r «-
gistration for this county, and ■
Messrs. F. E. Stokes and Robert
Dickerson, managers of election
at this precinct, were the de
fendants in to-day’s cases. The
supervisor was charge! with
not furnishing the proper book
for this precinct, and the mana
gers were charged with not
opening the polls and also with
not procuring the books. The
trial was fought hard at every
point, but the defendants lost,
and the cases were sent up for
trial at tbe higher Court.
This missing registration
book for this precinct has not
yet been found. Mr. W. F.
Dargan has prosecuted the cases
with manliness, fearlessness
and patriotism, and his brilliant
speeches and direct present
ations of the law hava won his
victory, wnich is a notable one.
As some of the most important
witnesses in this case were Till
manites it is not altogether a
factional fight. The attorney
for the defence also admitted
that fraud had been perpetrat
ed. The missing book did not
walk away, and the question is:
Where is it and what was the
manner of its disappearance?
