Harrell returned home lust Wednesday alter a stay of several weeks at Glenn Springs and Asheville and oth er resorts. The friends of the Rev. R. W. Lideare pleased to see him in their midst again, and hope that it will not be long before he can resume his charge. The union service was held at the Presbyterian Church on last Liinday-night, Rev. R. A. Child preached. The choir was unusually strong, and the mu sic was good. Mr. S. B. Atkinson, who left town about three years ago and joined the United States Army and who has been stationed at Ft. Barracas, Fla., returned home last Tuesday night. The Mutual Lloyds paid their first loss in Darlington county on the 21st before it was due. The amount was $130 to Mrs. B. L. Spain who lost a barn of tobacco. Mr. J. Bart White is the agent in Darlington for this concern. At the meeting of the Ep- worth League on Sunday after noon last, Rev. D. M. Fulton led the services, and preached one of his short sermons which are so much to the point, and are always enjoyed by the Ep- worth League. The New York Life Insurance Co., of which Mr. J. Bart White is agent, paid $1,000 on the l!*th to the widow of the late Dr. L. P. Daniels. Dr. Daniels had been insured only two months at the time of his death. The News is a little late in comiug out this week in order to publish as much of the elec tion returns from the county as possible. Mr. R. Hay, of Mechanics- ville, brought three large sweet potatoes to The News office to day, the combined weight of which is nine pounds. The dance in the Armory after the opera Tuesday night, was well attended. There were a number of young ladies pres ent from neighboring towns who added much to the enjoy- men of the occassion. Gen. W. E. James left for Cleveland, Ohio, last Saturday to attend the Supreme League of the Knights of Pythias. Gen. James and Mr. Altamont Moses, of Sumter, are the two grand representatives from South Carolina. The annual inspection of the Darlington Guards will take place at 8.30 p. m. September 4th. A preparatory drill will take place on the evening of the 2nd which should be at tended by all who will take part in the inspection. The Rev. T. P. Baker, of Che- raw, paid The News office a call Tuesday on his way from Bennettsville to Cheraw. Mr. Baker is rector of the Episcopal churches at Cheraw, Society Hill and Bennettsville and is doing splendid work in those three places. Mr. W. R. Israel, of Danville, has located in Darlington to buy fine wrappers for the Louisville Spirit Cure Co., and also for Mr. W. R. Bowman, of Lych- burg. There are now ten reg ular buyers on the Darlington tobacco market and they are making things lively. On Thursday morning last a colored man named Moses Brown was badly kicked by a horse. The small bone in his leg was broken, and he at once went to Dr. Garner for medical aid. The wound was sewed up, and the leg set at once, and the man is doing well. Miss Eda Dargan, who has been visiting some time in Dar lington and vicinity, returned to ner home in Charleston last Saturday. Messrs. C. 8. Nettles, D. C. Milling, A. T. Baird, Dargan Lide, W. B. McCown, Geo. W. Brown, W. Brown, J. M. James, C. Milling and W. E. McCall spent several days last week on a deer hunt on the river. A buck weighing about 100 pounds which was killed bv Mr. Mc- Call was the result of the hunt. On Saturday night, a lamp was knocked over m Dr. W J. Garner’s room and but for prompt action a fire would have occured. The lamp was thrown out of the window, and a blan ket put the flame out at once. Alick Dudley, the Policeman was promptly on hand, but just as he ran up the steps the flame was snuffed out. Many of those who have their offices near the Opera House have enjoyed the practice of the members of the Opera troupe for the last week. Those who have been engaged in this work will miss the pleasant meetings, and it is with regret that they realize that they are over. M’", L. C. H. Brown, of Greensboro N. C., who is now in the business of grading to bacco in Darlington, says he is much pleased with this country and considers the artesian water in Darlington very fine. He came here to stay only about a month, but is so well pleased that he thinks he will bring his family down and remain until Spring. Mr. Angus Gainey, who has come back to his old home to live, after an absence of some years, has organized an orches tra, composed of several young musical people of the town. An organization of this kind is badly needed here, and there is no doubt that the patronage which these young men will re ceive will show how much their enterprise is appreciated.
