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. M. Pace in Marion Star.

Tha Mo*t Successful
Given There.
The regular annual picnic at
Pisgah church last Saturday
was, as is usually the case, a
magnificent success. 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,

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.

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

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.

son had Lung trouble, following
Typhoid Malaria, and l*e spent

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

sent good health to use of Dr.
King’s New Discovery, and

Captt A. L. Harllee and T. F. 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,

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.

Democratic national conven
tions, and was in 1877 appoint
ed one of the commissioners

World’s Fair, Paris. He was
appointed consul general to St.
Petersburg in 1885, but owing
to the severe climate resigned

It is said that the Hon. Ben

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

can fail to appreciate the ac

his genialty to his opponents.

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.
