Mr Burn, of Darlington, with
great vehemence, urged that
the members of the Convention
had not been elected to destroy,
but to protect, the liberties of
the people, and not to deny any
man, rich or poor, high or low,
the right of trial by jury. To
allow a municipal Court to sen
tence any man to the chain
gang without a trial by jury
was a travesty upon the rights
of all English-speaking people,
acknowl^lged by King John
and inherited fmirt all time.
"On To Atlanta."
Mr. C. Mooney, who has in
charge the making of the barn
in which Darlington’s tobacco
exhibit is to be sent to Atlanta,
has nearly completed his work.
It is now on exhibition at his
shop, and is greatly admired by
all who have seen it. Farmers
who purpose having specimens
of their fine grades of tobacco
sent to Atlanta are urged to for
ward them to Gen. James with
out further delay, as the time
for getting the exhibit together
is now very short.

Biggs, the retiring superinteni-
ent, is exceedingly popular, pre
sented him on Saturday last
with the beautiful meerschaum
pipe which has recently been on
exhibition at Dr. Boyd’s drug
store. The presentation was
made by Capt. . C Coker in
a few appropriate remarks, to
which Mr. Biggs happily re
sponded. Mr. Biggs leaves this
morning with his family for
Rockingham, N. C.. at which
place he is to take charge of the
Midway Mills. He carries with
him the best wishes for his pros
perity and happiness of a host
of people in Darlington, both
among those who reside on the
“factory hill” as well as among
the citizens of the town itself.

Fir# in “Liberia ”
About nine o’clock on Monday
night fire broke out in, and de
stroyed, the dwelling of Hettie
Wingate, a well known colored
woman, which was located in
that part of town commonly
known as “Liberia.” The h. ok
and ladder company were soon
on the spot, but, there being no
water near, their services were
of little avail. The fire soon
gained rapid headway, and an
adjoining building, owned by
Mr. C. Alexander, and occupied
by John Isham, a colored di
vine, was also consumed! How
the fire originated is a mystery,
although it is supposed to have
been of an incendiary origin, as
the first arrivals at it say that
oil was all over the floor cf the
room in which the flames start
ed. The owner and sole occu
pant of the house was attending
the circus at the time of the
fire. Mr. Alexander’s house
was insured for $300 and Hettie
Wingate’s for $500; the latter’s
furniture, partially destroyed,
was .insured for $300. Isham
had no insurance upon his fur
niture, which was somewhat
damaged by removal.

A Good Circu*.
(Reported for Ths Nkwb )
Hunting gave his circus here
on Monday and again on Mon
day night. The street parade
in the morning was good. There
were two bauds of music and
many riders, besides the d- nsof
animals, some of which were
open. The lions were to be
seen in their cage with the keep
er, and the snake charmer was
handling his pets. The usual
crowd was following the ele
phant. The circus was a good
one; the riding was well worth
seeing, while the gymnasium
was the best ever seen in this
part of the country. Some of
the feats seemed almost impos
sible, and the apparent ease
with which the greatest diffi
culties were overcome was won
derful. The tent was crowded,
some of the late comers having
to find seats on the ground.

Mr. Rogers, of Marlboro, op
posed the Wilson amendment.
He thought the Tillman
amendment would perpetuate
the moral effects of the dispen

Mr. Parrott, of Darlington,
arose amidst a burst of laugh
ter. He said that many people
seemed to be afraid of the 8u
S reme Court of the United
tales. That he was going to
do his duty regardless of the
Supreme Court, and he knew
what he was about when he fav
ored the Wilson amendment.
fThe State.)
Mr. Parrott, of Darlington,
with his usual vehemence sup
ported the section as reported
by the minority of the commit
tee on the executive department,
and took occasion to make a
general atttack upon the execu
tion and enforcement of the
laws, things having now reach
ed such a pass, he said, that on
ly the pettiest and most defence
less of criminals have serious
reason to fear punishment.
Mr. Talbert jumped on Mr.
Parrott and the Convention
generally for having so much
talk and so little action, and ex
pressed his feeling on that sub
ject with force and heat. He
quoted what he said was an ap
propriate poem which he direct
ed especially to the delegate
from Darlington whom he accus
ed of unnecessary loquacity—
“I love my automatic mouth;
I love its giddy gurgle;
I love tis fluent flow;
I love to wind my mouth up,
Just to hear it go.”
This elicited much laughter,
but when Mr. Burn got the floor
he proceeded to administer a re
buke to Mr. Talbert for indulg
ing in ridicule, impairing the
dignity of the Convention and
holding up a fellow member to
be laughed at.

I The State.]
Mr. Burn favored the section
—[relieving manufacturing
enterprises from taxation for a
limited time.] As a laboring
man, and in behalf of the poor
women and children and the la
boring people of the State, he
would favor any action which
would bring new industries here
and increase the opportunities
for- obtaining employment by
which to earn their livings.
Mr. Talbert hoped that Mr
Burn was not. like the Dutch
man’s hen which laid four eggs
in one day, exhausted by bis ef
fort.
Mr. Burn made some retort,
which was lost in the pounding
of the gavel and the confusion
prevailing on the floor.
Mr. Talbert proceeded to at
tack ibe bill fiercely. He was
s ck and . ired of hearing speech
es here and elsewhere in behalf
of corporations. The 1 a w
should protect the poor and
weak. The rich were well able
to take care of themselves. He
wanted equal rights for all, spe
cial privileges to none. He was
proceeding to refer to men who
handle the hammer, when Mr.
Burn interrupted to ask him
what use the hammer was when
there was nothing to strike
with it?
Mr. Talbert said this section
proposed to take the poor man’s
hammer and his arm with it.
He was astonished at Mr. Burn,
who was here only yes’erday
fighting for the poor, and was
here now as the champion of
rich corporations—helping the
rich who had already wrung
millions from the poor. Mr.
Talbert concluded with the defi
nition of labor—put $5 worth of
iron anywhere and the poet
could sing over it, the orator
could speak to it, the lawyer
could argue with it, the preacher
could pray over it, and it would
remain $5 worth of iron; but
the workingman could take it,
and with fire and tools make it
$2<>, $50, $100. |

The cotton mill men, mer

zens generally of Spartanburg
were so delighted with Mr. J.

their city, published originally
in the News and Courier, that
they have had it published in
pamphlet form, and in elaborate

Spartanburg i s a wonderful

A Prized Relic.
(Asheville Citizen.]
A relic that stirs the blood of
the younger generation and
causes the eyes of the veteran
to flash and his cheek to flush
may be seen at the First Nation
al Bank for the next few days.
Its silent wounds, so numerous
as to cause the sacred folds to
be tattered and torn, are more
eloquent than any words that
may attempt to describe them.
It is a flag, the bullet scarred
inspiration of thirty fiive bat
tles, as will be seen by the fol
lowing letter to T. F. Malloy
from his uncle, T. F. Malloy, of
Kollock, S. C., who was a cap
tain in the regiment mentioned
below:
“Your letter in regard to our
flag has been re' eived. T 1 e
flag is in rather dilapidated con
dition, tattered and torn by shot
and shell of battle. The staff,
also, although a very handsome
one, was cut by several shells,
and is in rather weak condition
for transportation. But I am
willing to do anything for your
pleasure, and will, therefore,
ship it to you in Asheville,
knowing that you will take the
best care of it, for you know
bow much I value it as a relic
of the war.
“The 8th South Carolina regi
ment was orgauized in January,
1861, served in Charleston first,
then was transferred to theVir
ginia army, and was in the fol
lowing battles: First Manassas,
Peninsular Campaign, Wil-
liamsburg, Malvern Hill, Seven
Pines, Savage Station, Fair
Oaks, Maryland Heights, An-
tietara o'- Sharpsburg, Frede
ricksburg, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, Chickamauga,

Berry ville, Charlestown, near
Winchester, Cedar Creek,
Strausburg, Richmond, c a m-
S aign through South Carolina,
ientouville, Averysboro, and
surrendered at Greensboro, N.
C. The above includes only the
main battles, as the small fights
and skirmishes are too numer
ous to mention.
“This flag was presented to
the 8th regiment by the ladies
of the Pee-Dee section of South
Carolina. This regiment be
longed to the 1st brigade (Ker
shaw’s,) l8tdivi8ion,(McLaw’s,)
1st corps, (Longstreet’s,) Army
of the Potomac, being the rank
ing brigade of the Confederate
army.”
The flag is of banner silk,
with one side of wfiite and re
verse side of blue. On the blue
surface is beautifully worked a
palmetto tree, with crescent
above it, the two emblems of
South Carolina. Upon the
white surface, worked in silk
chenille, is au oaken wreath
with acorns, in the centre of
whichare the letters, "8th Regt.,
8. C. V.” Above the wreath
are worked the words, “On! On
to the just and glorious strife,”
while below is the date, “March
20, 1861.”
The staff is of handsome wal
nut, capped by a spear head,
just below which are the silken
tassels pendant. A fringed top
and bottom, pathetically cling
ing in shreds, added to the
beauty ot thissoul-stirriugrelic.
Although the shot and shell
have torn the flag, the palmetto
tree is nowhere touched and is
indeed a thing beautiful to look
upon.
