Union services were held on
Sunday night at the Presbyter

sermon was a fine one. and was
listened to with great attention.
All of the jury cases were
concluded in Court on Saturday
last. A fine week’s work was
done, and, as we predicted
would be the case, a big hole
was knocked in the docket. A
recess has been taken from
Saturday until today. The
balance of this week will be oc
cupied with taking out or
den and routine matters of
that kind.

A ‘-Hustling” Firm.
Messrs. Sligh & Rucker have
an advertisement in this issue
which will be read with interest
all over the County. This firm
certainly does an enormous
business, and ever since they
have been in Darlington they
have shown the people that
their statements may be relied
upon. They now advertise
that their spring stock recently
purchased at the North by the
accomplished senior member of
the firm is now coming in, and
consists of $10,000 worth of new
and “nobby” clothing, $10,000
worth of “up-to date” dry-goods
and notions, and $5,000 worth
of shoes and slippers. Just
think what a tremendous busi
ness the firm will do between
now and June! We predict
that their stores in the Hewitt
building will be the centre of
attraction for everybody who
comes to town during that time.
Messrs. Sligh and Rucker ad
vertise that their grand spring
“opening” will occupy three
days this year, March 30th and
31st and April 1st. This pccas-
ion will doubtless be looked
forward to with great interest
by eveiybody in the community,

In accordance with the an

Prof, and Mrs. Basel, assisted
by local talent, gave their spec
tacular “Karnival of Kommer
ce” here on Tuesday night and
last night under the auspices of
the “King’s Daughters.” About
seventy five persons took part
in each performance, most of
them young ladies. The enter
tainment was a decided success
in every respect—about the fin
est thing we have ever seen ren
dered by amateurs. The cos
tumes were beautiful, particu
larly in ihe grand march at the
last when colored lights were
thrown upon the gracefully
moving figures. Almost every
business house in town was re
resented by some young lady,
me of the “make-ups” were
admirable. We would like to
refer to several of them and to
other features of the entertain
ment in detail were it not for
the fact that where so mai y are
concerned discrimination is dif
ficult and sometimes leads to
awkward results. We will be
pardoned, however, for making
one exception in favor of the
charmingyounglady w.ho repre
sented The DArlington News.
Her unique costume made
of copies of The Darlington
News was admired on all sides.
The cocked hat, also made of
newspapers, capped as fair a
face and as graceful a figure as
were seen before the foot lights
either evening. The “King’s
Daughters” realized over $73
as their proportion of the pro
ceeds of the entertainments
The prizes for the best cos
tumes and acting were awarded
to Misses May McCall and Mag
gie Burch, who advertised Me-
Innis’ blacksmith shop and per
formed their parts most admit-
ably.

The Board of Trade, as was
stated in our last issue are mak
ing a strenuous effort to have
the government put on a “star
route” for bringing the mails
from Florence to Darlington on
Sunday mornings, and there is
reason to believe that they will
succeed. In the meantime, in
order that the people may not
be without their Sunday morn
ing papers, arrangements have
been made for bringing them
up by private conveyance. This
plan is, of course, very expen
sive, particularly when the
weather is bad. Seventy five
papers must be sold in order to
clear expenses even. Unless
the “star route” is established,
this plan of getting the papers
here from Florence .will keep
up indefinitely — that is. as
long as it is found that it does
clear expenses. Whenever it
changes from that to a “losing
game” (if it ever should), it
will, of course, have to be aban
doned altogether.

his expression that if -this was

tee; Pursuant to the call of
the Democratic National Com
mittee. directing the selection
of delegates from each of the
several States to assemble in
Chicago on July 7 next for the
purpose of nominating candid
ates for President and Vice
President of the United States,
the Democratic State executive
committe is hereby requested
to meet in the city of Columbia
on Tuesday, the 7th lay of
April. 1890, at the hour of 8
o’clock P. M., for the purpose
of taking the necessary" steps
looking to the reorganization
of the Democratic party and
to the assemblage of the State
Convention to elect delegates to
the National Convention, as
provided for by Art. m IV of
the constitution of the party.
Recognizing as I do the wide
differences of opinion as to the
details of party policies aud
party management, yet fully
alive to the present "'mergencie*

purposes and successes can
only be attained by discipline
and organizations. As under
stood by us, the hope of the
country is centre.il m the Demo
cratic party. Its principles,
which have been handed down
from Jefferson and Jackson, are
absolutely necessary to main
tain the equal rights of all the
States, and to secure the wise
and economical government of
the country. Whatever differ
ences there may be as to the
application of th- g neral prin
ciples for »vi:.i i the party
Stands, all inyst agree that only
by harmony, concession and
loyalty to the party can great
uds be accompli shed The rep-

therefore, go. to tho National
Convention with a fixed deter-
tnination to meet their brethren
in a spirit of ami*. and with

and in perfect accord, we ought
