There was ex hibited on the Square a “Star Pea Thrasher”, made at Mon roe N. C., which seemed to at tract a good deal of attention. A negro claiming to be an African prince gave a lecture on Friday night at the Mayo School on the subject of the manners and customs of the tribes of Africa.

Mr. Haynsworth was 35 years of age. He was born and raised in Darlington, A’here he was greatly beloved by all who knew him on ac count of his charming disposi tion. He was engaged in mer cantile pursuits here for several years, and always stood high in the business world. Mr. Hayns worth hud been in failing health for some time before his death, and his kindred and friends had long since been made to realize the sad fact that he was going to leave them. The "Unloaded Pistol" Again. Norman Johnson and Dozier Johnson, two colored boys about 17 years of age who were first cousins, and who resided in the neighborhood of Syracuse, were fooling with a pistol last Sun lay afternoon about three o’clock, when it was discharg ed, the ball taking effect in Norman’s abdomen. He was taken to Dr. Garner’s office the following day to be operated upon, but he was so weak that he died before the operation was begun. The Coroner’s jury agreed that the facts indicated that there had been criminal carelessness on the part of Doz ier Johnson. He has been ar rested and placed in jail to await his trial at the next term of the Court. Sam Jones in Darlington. The celebrated lecturer Sam Jones appeared before an ap preciative audience here on the Ird inst. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Jones was taken sick shortly after he began, and suffered greatly all the time he was speaking, the audience were not aware of it until the end of an hour, when he brought the lecture to a close. The audi ence were perfectly delighted with him. Mr. Jones is one of the wonders of the age, one that must be seen and heard to be properly appreciated, and ono that it is a treat both to see and to hear. His address was straight-foward and manly in its tone, appealing strongly to the higher senses, and was calculated to be of benefit to all who were fortunate enough to be present. The Hebrew Sabbath School. Rev. Dr. Chumsciero, of Au gusta, a distinguished Rabbi, visited Darlington on Sunday last, and delivered a most inter esting lecture, after which he organized a Hebrew Sabbath School, with Mrs. I.

The Sahbath School will be held every Sunday afternoon, in the K. of P. Hall. Dr. Chuin- sciero will deliver a lecture at the same place one Sunday in every month.

Ham gives the second lecture of the Dar lington Guards course at the Armory to-night (Thursday). The price of admission is 50 cents, no extra charge being made for reserved seats. Col. Ham is one of the greatest hum orists on the lecture stage to day, and all who go to hear him may be assured that they will spend a delightful evening. Read some of the press com ments in regard to his celebrated lecture: The fact that by far the larg est and most magnificent pres ence was out to greet him which has assembled on the hill dur ing the entire session, gives un mistakable proof of the wonder ful magnetism of this lecturer. He sways his audience as by a magic wand, and his lectures were pronounced generally by those who heard them as stand ing along side of the best lec tures ever delivered on the San Marcos Chautauqua platform.— San Autorio (Tex.) Express. out of respect for the Conven-j tion and himself he would not reply as the taunt perhaps de served. This sentiment was applauded. Mr. Rogers said he should per haps have said “an exhibition which might have been expect ed of a monkey.” He simply wanted to say that such intima tions as had been made were deserving of his contempt and he wanted to show his con tempt. He took exception, it appears, to reference being made to dud- ish lawyers, women supporting their husbands and lawyers de vising this scheme to rob poor women. He thought this seem ed to be directed towards him and, of course, was groundless. Mr. Rogers went on, after apologizing for using any un parliamentary language, to a discussion of the section cn its merits. Largest and cheapest assort ment of china, crockery and glassware at G. O.

Mooney, and Alfred Humbert, the color ed man who was helping them with the carpenter work, left for Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon, taking with them the beautiful little tobacco barn which is to contain Darlington’s exhibit. We venture to say that there will not be seen at the Exposi tion any more unique or attrac tive exhibit than this one, and the people of Darlington deserve great credit for the enterprise they displayed in getting it up Owing to the dry weather, not as many specimens of fine to bacco could be obtained as were needed to fill the barn. Farmers who have any specimens they would like to send will please forward them at once to Gen. James, who is to leave for At lanta with them a little later ic the season.

[News and Conner, Oct. 5 1 After the reading of the jour nal and the necessary correct ions there were a few more echoes from the Rogers Burn incident of yesterday. Mr. Rogers said that he may be making a mistake in having anything further to say about the matter, but that he wanted to assure the Convention that if he was about to make a mistake it would be of the head and not of the heart. He said that he felt called upon to make his pooition correctly known. He said that he would not have said anything about the matter but for a statement in one of the morning papers of Columb ia, which was erroneous. It was stated that he had hurled back an insult. He wanted it known once and for all time that it was not his style to resent an insult in any such fashion. He felt that he ' as first attacked. He said that he felt he had made a mistake for using the language he had, but that it was in the heat of debate, and he had no thing personally to apologize for. Mr. Burn, of Darlington, did the graceful thing and said that he could truthfully say that in his remarks he had no idea of referring to Mr. Rogers. He could have made no reflection on him, for he had worked tor his father anu had far too high a regard for the family and all of its members to say anything about them. No matter what might be done by Mr. Rogers he would apologize for any lan guage that might have given offence, for no offence was ever intended. This occasioned ap plause. Mr. Burn went on to say that in the heat of debate he may have gesticulated in the direction of Mr. Rogers, and he may have made sweeping state ments, but he had no idea of re flecting on Mr. Rogers, the com mittee or anyone else, as there was no need for it. Mr. Rogers said in reply that he felt exceedingly grateful at being able to accept.the apology and in turn to offer an apology for what he had said. He said that he had never known a man to whom he would more readily give credit for expressing his honest convictions than he would to Mr. Burn. He had known him a long time, and whatever he said about tne mat ter he believed, and he was very glad indeed to be able to accept the apology. And there the whole matter ended. A Great Tobacco Show. fTUe State.) To morrow the fine tobacco exhibit from Darlington will pass through Columbia on its way to Atlanta. This will ue a great addition to the South Car olina display, and will unques tionably attract a great deal of attention from visitors. The tobacco will be arranged in a model barn, showing the pro cess of curing. The barn is a very fine piece of work, made of native pine, the panels being constructed of curly pine, finely polished and varnished. The si des of the barn will be of plate glass, so as to allow an unob structed view of the interior. Its dimensions are 8 by 10 feet, and 13 feet high. It will be fill ed with the finest tobacco made in Darlington county and will furnish a striking illustration of what this county can do in the way of raising a line quality of the weed. The barn is built in sections and will be put to gether after it reaches Atlanta. The worlc was done oy Charles Moohey, one of the best cabinet [News and Courier, Oct. 4.] workmen in the State, who will Mr. H. C.

Mr. Burn In The Convention. INhwb and Courier, Oct. 8.] Mr. Burn, of Darlington, urg ed that to allow the poor men of the State to represent it, it was necessary to pay them well. That they could not make a presentable appearance on three dollars a day, that other men wanted rive dollars, six dollars and thirteen dollars a day for themselves, but favored three dollars for Legislators, and he hurled back upon such men the insinuation that the Legislators were not the most worthy men in the State. lington in doing something tor the exposition, South Carolina would easily lead all other States at Atlanta. The smok ing tobacco factory of Darling ton will also make an exhibit and show what nice goods can be manufactured from South Carolina tobacco. Somebody Want* Hangin*. [News and Courier 1 Florenck, October 2. — A train was set on the Northeast ern Railroad at Jeffrey’s Creek last night, it is supposed, to wreck Train 35, the fast South bound mail train. Train No 209, the South bound through freight, struck the pile of tim bers and threw them off The pilot of the engine was torn off. Engineer John Brothers, of the freight train, reported the fact to the Coast Line authorities from Effingham and was order ed to return to Florence and get a new engine. After waiting at Effingham until Train 35 had passed he started to return to Florence for another engine, and while backing the disabled engine ran into the timbers a second time, they having been replaced after the fast mail bad passed. At the point where the obstruction was placed tne track stands on an embankment about thirty feet high and spans a trestle fifty feet long. Had the fast mail been trapped the re sult would have been a disas trous one. This is the fourth attempt at this same place that has been made to wreck trains. Echoes of The Convention. [Piedmont Headlight.) "We heard Uncle George Till man while in Columbia and he reminded us of an old printing press we once owned, and which was made up of lost motion, warped wheels and was general ly out of joint. Uncle George has been a great man in his day, and it would now be char ity and kindness on the part of the good people of Edgefield to keep him at home. But we do admire his sterling integrity and hard fighting proclivities. LaMAR. Mr. E. B. Turner ia still un able to be out. Mr. W. Z. Joye is clerking for Mr. G. W. Mims.

A beautiful tourist hat for $1 at Edwards & Co’s. Mr. Byrd, of Florence, moved that members of the General Assembly and State officers be exempt from this section. Some of the best men, he said, refrain from running for office because they have no redress against in sults. Mr. Burn, of Darlington, said that good men would be killed as soon as the slightest eucour agement was given duelling. It is a shame duelling went on so long. There are men right now, he charged, thirsting for each other’s blood. CLYDE. McNair’s cotton gin ts by the exhibition of a monkey. This pr ivoked Mr. Burn and he said he had always conducted his arguments in parliamentary fashion, and had always been sary money. The whole cost of making the exhibit will be about $400 or $500. probably the latter figure. If every town in the State had shown the enter- respectfnl to others, and that prise and public spirit of Dar- Mr kept busy Mr. S. E. Segars is making a great deal of molasses. The early frost has cut short the rice crop in this section. Our crop of peas will be cut short on account* of the cold weather.

Sam Jones in Orangeburg. rCorreapondence, News and Courier ) But the event of the week has been the lecture of the Rev. Sam Jones last night. The Opera House was filled with a select audience to hear the famous lecturer, and he sustained his reputation. As he was to re main over until 4 51 this after noon, when he would take the train over the Atlantic Coast Line for Darlington, where he he was scheduled to lecture this evening, he consented to preach in the Methodist Church at 3 o'clock. In spite of the speedy arrangements the church was crowded, and Sam Jones goes away from Orangeburg with the best wishes of all.
