A Survivor’s Association.
(Reitorted for Tub News.)
There is a movement on foot
to organize a Confederate Veter
an Camp in the county of Dar
lington. This will not interfere
with the Associations already
in existence, and will tend to
keep the survivors more closely
in touch with each other. The
roll is getting smaller
every year, and it will not be
long before there will be no one
left to answer “Hero”. Let
every soldier who served with
the flag of the Southern States
enroll his name, and wear the
badge of the Association; it will
then be known who he is. The
young people should be taught,
in every possible way, to rever
ence the cause for which their
fathers gave the best part of
their lives.
held in to the v« -y end. A large
number of those present freely
expressed the opinion that no
thing equalling it had ever be
fore been heard in Darlington,
though there are many who
hold the view that the lecture
recently delivered here by Sam
Jones was superior to it, the re
spective admirers of the two
distinguished gentlemen being
about equal in number. The
truth of the matter is that while
both of them are surpassingly
fine as lecturers, each nossesses
a distinctive style of his own,
and it is difficult to institute
anything like a proper compari
son of their respective merits.
A movement is now on foot to
have them both return here in
the early spring, so that our
people may have an opportunity
of hearing them again.

*• Third and Last Call."
Mr. Ira 8. Burch, who went
to Atlanta with Mr. Mooney to
put up the tobacco barn and ar
range Darlington’s tobacco ex
hibit, writes as follows to Gen.
W. E. James under date it Oct.
13:
“The barn came in on Friday
morning, and Mr. Mooney has
it up, but has yet to put in the
glass, tier poles, flues, &c
which will take about one and
one half days. Mr. Roche is
highly pleased with it. There
is no exhibit here that will ex
cel it, »nd no county could be
ashamed of it. It is dry and
cold here, and I am afraid the
tobacco we have will not show
up well The tobacco exhibits
from North Carolina, Virginia,
and Louisiana are only in small
quantities, and in simple glass
cases. Ours will far excel any
tobacco exhibit here. I hope
you have secured some more
samples, and will have them
here betore I leave, for I am
anxious to arrange them in the
barn, which I kuow I can do
•0 KJ”
Gen. James requests us to say
that he will leave for Atlanta
on Monday next, with all the
samples he can get, and he re
quests all those who have any
good tobacco to send samples of
it to his office not later than
Saturday next. This is “the
third and last call.” The
tobacco already sent on to At
lanta is not near enough, and
will not make a creditable show
unless more can be had to put
with it.

Good News! Good News)
The joyful news has been re
ceived here that, in response to
a general demand for it coming
from all along the line of road,
the passenger train which for
merly ran from Hamlet to Sum
ter over the C. 8. & N. road in
the morning, and returned in
the afternoon, will be restored,
beginning on Monday next. The
railroad people say that it was
taken off because it did not pay,
hut that they are willing to give
it a longer trial. Nothing more
could be asked than that. With
the restoration of this train, and
the fine connection it gives us
with Columbia and the up coun
try, Darlington will be again
“out of the woods”. Let us
hope sincerely that it will now
pay sufficiently well to warrant
the railroad people in keeping
it on forever.

A Dep'orable 1 ragedy.
One of the most shocking
tragedies that has ever occurred
in the history of Darlington was
enacted here about 9 30 o’clock
on Tuesday night, when Mr.
David S. McCullough accident
ally shot himself at his home,
death ensuing «ithin four hours
thereafter. His wife was in
the room with him at the time
Mr. McCullough had his pistol
in his hand, and was trying to
open the cylinder, when the
weapon was discharged, the
ball taking effect about two in
ches above the heart and pas
sing through his body. The
blood flowed copiously. Drs.
Garner and Lanneau were has
tily summoned, but seeing at a
glance that not much could be
done for the unfortunate man,
directed their attention to en
deavoring to stop the flow of
blood. Mr. McCullough quick
ly realized that his wound was
mortal. He retained concious
ness until within an hour of his
death, and was perfectly calm
and collected, while expressing
his regret that he had to die.
He sent for all his children to
come into the room, and told
them good bye.
The funeral services will be
held at the Methodist Church
at 10 o'clock this morning, and
the interment will take place at
Grove Hill Cemetery. The fol
lowing gentlemen will act as
pall.bearers: Messrs. W. F Dar
gan, A. S. White, C. W. Milling,
L. S. Welling. J. M. James, B
Williamson. H M. Willcox, and
Dr. John E. Boyd.
Mr. McCullough was 47 years
old. He was a native of Green
ville County, but had been liv
ing here for about ten years.
He was a cadet at the Citadel
in 1864. and was a member of
the cadet corps that saw service
on the coast In 1876 Mr. Mc
Cullough raised and equipped a
red shirt company, and carried
it down to Columbia to assist in
the seating of Gen. Hampton as
Governor of the State. When
forcible entrance had been ef
fected into the State House, Mr.
McCullough and Col. James L.
Orr, of Greenville, were two of
the very first men to cross the
threshhold and enter the build
ing.
In 1870, Mr. McCullough was
married to Miss Annie Smith,
of Greenville. She and eight
children, five sons and three
daughters survive him. All of
his children were with him at
the time of his. death with the
exception of his two oldest sous,
Mr Eugene McCullough, who
is married and resides in Lanr
ens County, and Mr. C. 8. Mc
Cullough, Jr, who lives at Ben-
nettsville He leaves two broth
ers, Mr. John W. McCullough,
of Greenvill#*, and Mr. C. 8. Mc
Cullough, of this place. Mrs.
J. J. Ward is his sister, as are
Mrs. Mary Moseley, of Green
ville, and Mrs. W. F. Nigels, of
Florida, the mother of Mr. E.
E. Nigels. Mr. J. D. Baird’s
mother (now dead) was another
of his sisters.
Mr. McCullough was one of
Darlington’s most beloved and
useful citizens. He was a mem
ber of tl • Town Council at the
time of tus death, and had pre
viously served a term in the
same capacity. He had super-
| vision of all the street work,
and was the author of many of

Death of • Confederate Soldier.
On Tuesday morning, Oct. 8,
Mr. W. H. H. Miller, an ex-
Confederate soldier, died at the
county poor house. During the
war Mr. Mi ler served in McIn
tosh’s Battery, Pegram’s Bat
tallion, A P. Hill’s Corps—hon
or enough in itself, almost, but
his courage and bravery added
even to this. He was wounded
more than once, and, on one oc
casion, torn and bleeding, he re
fused to leave the field wheu
ordered to do so. He was car
ried away a few moments later
unconscious, his right arm shot
off, and seriously wounded in
two other places. When the
war was over of necessity for
him, he was absolutely disabled
and these same wounds were at
last the cause of his death. The
end that should have come on
the field of battle, came to the
worn out old soldier only a fe
days ago—after thirty years of
patientsufferingand endurance.
Mr. Miller had no relatives,
and he had out few friends. He
endured life with the same hero
ism that he gave to his country’s
service, and scarred, maimed
and bruised, in more ways than
one, but quist, brave, and even
gentle, in his endurance of all
things, hut he kept unmurmur
ing silence until death soothed
him to sleep. The church of
which he was a member took
charge of his remains, purchas
ed a lot in Grove Hill Cemetery
and there the poor human cast
away, the brave Confederate
soldier, lies in his last, l)ng,
sleep. A fund has been
started for a monument to mark
his resting place, and only a
privileged few will be allowed to
contribute to this fund

plays, one that will attract uni
versal attention, will be added
to what Darlington has dme.
Everyone who has seen the
armory of the Darlington
Guards knows that it is one of
the handsomest in the folate.
Capt. Thompson has hail a very
fine crayon sketch, 36 by 50
inches, made of the front of his
building, and intends to have it
painted so as to’ make an exact
representation of the front. The
gold eag'e and the gold wreaths,
shields and military emblems
will shine forth and the colored
lass in the large windows will
_e hand painted. The prize
squad of the Darlington Guards
will he photographed in cabinet
size, singly, and the pictures
will he cut out, placed in relief
in the front of the building in
platoon front. Double glasses
and a handsome frame will
complete this work of art, which
well deserves a conspicuous
position in the handsome ex
hibit which will show forth Dar
lington’s enterprise.
The Darlington Tobacco Manu
factoring Company has arrang
ed to have a special pet exhibi
tion of their own. They have
secured a nice space in the build
ing and have packed in hand
some glass cases samples of
their different brands of man
ufactured tobacco. They pur
pose having their raw material
on tne spot and manufacture
the goods from the cured leaf
right in the Exposition building,
and are trying to make such ar
rangements for this as may be
necessary. It is a fixed fact
that Darlington will haye a fine
exhibit, a fine one in evivy re
spect, and it will reflect -Tedit
not only on the town and coun
ty, but will be one that the
State can well afford to be proud
of.
Col. H. W. J. Ham, the South
ern huiiiOiist and lecturer, ad
dressed a fine and most appreci
ative audience at the armory
here iast night. Col. Ham’s
subject was, “The Srwllygoster
in Politics,” and w ; th this sub
ject he most emphatically cap
tured a discriminating and in
telligent audience. Beneath the
lightning flashes of wit and
merriment that charmed his
hearers, the distinguished Geor
gia editor kept a deeper current
of noble and manly thought
moving that held his lioteners
cpmpletely and most attentive
ly. It is surely a just criticism
to pronounce this the best lect
ure ever heard in Darlington
Col. Ham is not only a finished
speaker, but he is a charming
and delightful companion soci
ally, and has made a host of
friends here. By the way. I
must add a tribute to his per
sonal courage. Any man who,
at this present political junc
ture, could on such a subject in
South Carolina hazard so many
remarks that might justly be
considered personal by, well, by
a great many, he surely must
be a brave man. This is my
personal observation, as Col
Ham disclaimed any such in
tention.
As the situation here improves
in every other respect our rail
road facilities grow dismally
less. The present schedule and
accommodations would hardly
suffice for a Western boom town,
deserted for ten years. There
is a blissful uncertainly as to
where you can go, when and
how you can get there, and our
mails are coming in just when
ever they can. Every man. wo
man and child in Darlington
objects to this condition of af
fairs, the business community
more particularly, at this junc
ture. They have had the pro
mise of better things for years
and it is sincerely and earnestly
hoped that the railroad officials
will do something speedily.
