curing TOBACCO. the PlCN O AT PISQAH. A Valuable Article From The an Experienced Grower. It has been demonstrated be yond any doubt that fine touac co can be successfully cultivat ed throughout this section. Now the curing, and what you want is color. It is a matter of im possibility to make a successful cure, by following any written work on the subject, and the very best that can be done, is to aid you in the change of heat with the conditions of the to bacco. You are the doctor, the tobacco the patient, for tobacco now that has been primed off ripe. As soon as you have fill ed your barn, start your fires and go to 100, and remain there 12 hours, then to 105 some 4 hours, then to 110 and remain there 8 hours, and in the course of 2 hours, then gradually raise to 115 and remain 1 hour, then in the course of 2 hours grad ually to 120, and remain some 15 minutes, then open your door or doors and let the temperature fall back to 100 and remain some 30 minutes, then close the doors and go on up to 120, and remain 2 hours, raise to 125 and remain 2 hours, then gradually up to 130, and then go 5 degrees every two hours until 170 is reached and remain until the stem is thoroughly killed, which generally takes 12 to 24 hours— I have known very fine tobacco cured by this receipt—you must watch the point when at 105, for on leaving, 'f the tobacco is not somewhat moist, it is best to remain at 105 a while longer, but on the other hand if the to bacco seems to be yellowing fast, and indicaves its drying before the time specified to leave 105, it will be best to leave earlier, because if it becomes yellow enough to dry, it hasn’t had enough neat to toughen it, it will be hard to make clear and nice. At 110 you must re main until the tobacco becomes almost as yellow as desired for drying out and no longer, and it must get in> that condition even if it takes longer, staying at 115 an hour is to prepare for the drying heat 120, and to get out all the remaining green left in it, when at 110 the purpose of opening the doors and cool ing down to 100 is to get rid of the moisture and hold your col or.—E.

People from almost every section with in a radius of fifteen miles at tended, and the crowd present was estimated at 800 or 1,000 persons. The Sunday school exercises, which were held in the church, were successfully carried out and were much enjoyed by all. The program had been very carefully prepared, and every part was admirably rendered, reflecting great credit upon both those who took part and those who trained the children. The music was furnished by a select choir and was very appropriate for the occasion. As is always the case on such occasions, the dinner was a very attractive part of the day’s pro ceedings, and the repast spread under the trees was lacking in “no good thing.” Refresh ments were served on the grounds, and to add to the amusement of the day, Mr. Z. P. Kirby, of Darlington, had his new improved phonograph on exhibition for the benefit of the picnicers. Buggy rides, walks, strolls through the woods, and tetc-a-tetes were indulged in by the young folks all day, and it was quite late when the vast assemblage broke up. All who were present say that it was one of the most successful pic nics that the Pisgah Sunday school has ever given, bers. NORMAL scholarships. major gen. p. b. vouno. Those In the South Carolina College will be Cempeted for on July SO. President James Woodrow, of the South Carolina College, has issued a circular letter, which is being distributed throughout the State, in which it is announced that the com petitive examinations for the normal scholarships in the Col lege will be held on July 30, in each county in which there is a vacancy. The letter is as fol lows: South Cakolina College, June 29, 1896. A competitive examination for the normal scholarships of the South Carolina College will be held by. the school commis sioner of each county in which there is a vacancy on Thursday, Julv 30. Applicants will be ex amined on English, mathema tics and history, the require ments in these subjects being the same as for admission to the scientific course of this Col lege. See page 38, of the Cata logue of 1895-96. Further i Out With The Truth. Dispensary Inspector Scruggs went west some months ago to investigate the books of certain houses with whom the State deals in buying whiskey. If Mr. Scruggs could be induced to print all he found on those books it would make mighty interesting reading. And, by the way, it is said vhat since the affair of the Pal metto Brewing Co. passed into the hands of a receiver some ugly papers have been unearth ed and one of these is a receipt for money paid to “push legis lation.” Unless the honest Re formers of this State stop shut ting their eyes to the way things are going and cease promoting men whose hands are stained, a time of humiliation, and dis grace will come. It is not safe for honest men to shut their eyes to the conduct of their servants and dismiss charges because made by hostile news papers. It is too much like the conditions which existed here just after the war.—Spartan burg Herald. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Editor, Darlington News: As chairman of the committee on arrangements for the Fourth of July celebration which came off last Saturday afternoon after an inter regnum in this kind of thing of more than 30 years, my heart is full of gratitude to those who helped me so willing ly, so earnestly and efficiently in the ardious task, that I must thank them through your columns. Members of the com mittee did their part, regardless of the amount of effort or per sonal sacrifice required and the newspapers, the Cuards, the band, the choir, Mr. Dickson in charge of the cannon firing, and the bell-ringers and all others who had any parts to perform were prompt, reliable, accurate and thorough, making the work easy and pleasant to me and the undertaking a magnificent suc cess. We all who accepted work in the matter tried to do our re spective parts faithfully and hence the success. And now let the good work so auspicious ly begun be kept on the move with ever increasing grandeur of success, that our posterity may be inspired, as our fathers were, to high and noble achieve ments by the memories of the “Revolutionary Period” of our history. John J. Dargan. The Patriotic Coker Band. The Coker band, which fur nished such excellent music on the fourth, worked hard for the success of the occasion and contributed a great deal to the enjoyment of those who heard their music. Before daylight the young men composing this band were up and going to their meeting place, and, although the 4th of July is one of their few holidays during the year, they did not hesitate to give their services free of charge and work hard for the good cause. Such unselfishness is indeed rare and clearley shows that these young men have a keen appreciation of the duty which the patriotic citizen owes to his country. The citizens of the town, therefore, should not forget the Coker band, and should render them assistance from time to time to encourage them in their good work. All honor to the young men who have set an ax- ample of patriotism to many who have had the best oppor tunities of knowing what is ex pected of a patriot. The follow ing are the names of those com posing the Coker band: Your Boy Wont Live a Month. So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 34 Mill St., SoutJi Gardner, Mass., was told by the doctors. His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and l*e spent three hundred and seventy five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up, saying: “Your boy wont live a month.” He tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and a few bottles enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says he owes his per- sent good health to use of Dr. King’s New Discovery, and knows it to be the best in the world for Lung trouble. Trial Bottles Free at J. A. Boyd’s aud O. B.

Malloy Have Deposited the State and Battle Flags of the Eighth Regiment in the Confederate Museum at Richmond. Cant. A. L. Harllee and Capt. T. F. Malloy of the Eighth South Carolina regiment have arranged to deposit the State and battle flags of the Eighth regiment in the musem at Rich mond, both of which relics have a history of which the galiaht heroes and all other of the State are proud. The State flag was presented to the Eighth regiment in 1861 by the ladies of the Pee Dee section, and is a beautiful blue silk flamwitb-a palmetto tree in the centre with gilt letters, ets., bearing an inscription on one side, “To the just and glorious stife.” The fleg was borne by the regiment in all the fights in which it was en gaged up to the close of 1862, when orders were received dis continuing the carrying of such flags. Capt. Malloy sent it to his sisiter, Miss Mary Malloy, in Cheraw, who care fully preserved it until her death. When Sherman’s army passed through Cheraw, she entrusted it to a faithful maid, who carried it under the house and buried it until after the Federal army had passed. She then restored it to her mistress At the battle of Maryland Heights, the color-bearer, Sergt Strother, was killed and all of his guard were either killed or wounded. Capt. Harllee, who commanded the color company, took it and before he had ad vanced a few paces he fell pierced through both limbs. Col. Henegan then took it, and he also fell severely wounded, but it was gathered by others, who bore it to the capture of the breastworks, which capture in a few moments caused the cap itulation of Harper’s Ferry. The battleflag deposited has inscrib ed upon it the names of 29 bat tles in which the regiment was engaged, as follows: Manassas, Williamsburg, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, Frazier’s Farm, Maryland Heights, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellors- yille, Gettysburg,Chickamauga, tanooga, Ci Death of A Di*tlngui»hed Cot' ^ Calvalry Officer, whom Mr.yCteve- . land Made Minister to Guatemala/ New York, July G.—<W.

He reached New York from Guatemala two weeks ago on a leave of absence, and went at once to the hospital for treat ment. The body will be shipped to Cartersville. Ga. Major Gen. Pierce M. Butler Young, C. 8. A., was born in Spartanburg, S. C., November 15, 1837. He was educated at a military institute in Georgia and began the study of law, but afterwards entered the United States Military Academy in 1857. Within two months of the time for graduation he re signed on account of the seces sion of the Southern States and joined the Confederate army as second lieutenant. He was successively promoted through all the grades of service to that of major general, on December 12, 1864, when he was assigned to the command of a cavalry division. He resided in Cartersville, Ga., after the war and was the only Democrat who was elected to Congresj when representation was restored under the Recon struction Acts, taking his seat on July 25, 1868. He was re elected for three succeeding terms, serving until March 1875. le was a delegate to many Democratic national conven tions, and was in 1877 appoint ed one of the commissioners tromthe United States to the World’s Fair, Paris. He was appointed consul general to St. Petersburg in 1885, but owing to the severe climate resigned a year later and returned to his Mentation near Atlanta.

Tillman will become Professor of Poetry and Aesthe tics at the Yawp Yap Uuniver- sity and Agricultural Training College at Mount Etna, S. C. at the close of his term in the Senate, or even before. It is well known among those per sons who enjoy the intimacy o:! this remarkable public char acter that he pines for the stil air of delightful studies. To cultivate a delicate and refinec style of expression is his main ambition; and the rude ami. sometimes abusive methods of popular harangues are not suited to hiR' sensitive spirit. Nobody who Has had the hap piness of hearing ’ or reading one of Prof. Tillman’s speeches can fail to appreciate the ac curacy of his information, the refinement of his language, and his genialty to his opponents. Since the days of the Hon, John Cade such polished and pleasant scholars have been too rare in publie life.—New York Stm. CvaVyRlhtg Pass* ' Hitch. The program for the 4 of Ji celebration was carried oat every particular. About rise Mr. Dickson, who charge of firing tha ins, awakened the citizens e town by the noise of first cannon. The others fol lowed in succession until the whole thirteen were fired. Then came the ringing of all the church bells, which was con tinued for fifteen minutes, and, as soon as that was over, the Coker band could be heard dis coursing inspiring and patriotic airs. About eleven o’clock, a detail of 20 of the Darlington Guards gave an exhibition drill on the square. Quite a number of manoeuvers were gone through with ending in the firing of number of volleys which the men did with great precision. The crowd seemed to take great interest in the drill and Capt. Thompson and his men deserve the thanks of the community for entertaining the people as they did, dressed in thick uni forms and under a hot sun. Next came the exorcism in the court house, which were gone through with in regular order. Copies of the program and the National hymns were placed in the hands of the audience and many joined in the singing. Al though the heat in the court house was very great, all seem ed to enjoy the exercises and everything passed off without a hitch. ls» i Hotel.
