Judge Simon ton has dissolv ed the temporarj injunction in the case of the Port Royal and Augusta Railway Co., against the Southern an J others. The Judge very properly ruled that the question at issue did not come within the jurisdiction of the court, but at the same time intimated that there might be times when the court could properly interfere. It would be more satisfactory to the public to have the matter settled at once, but, as it stands now, it- is probable that there will be more litigation in the future. The antagonism of country against town is fast dying out. During the recent campaign it manifested itself very little, and two years hence demigo- gues, who try to work upon the people by such means, will not be tolerated. It is an unnatur al state of affairs for country and town to be arrayed against each other and it cannot last long. All, except a few design ing politicians, welcome a bet ter state of feeling and hope that South Carolina may never again be torn asunder by inter nal strife. There were probably not less than 10,000 Conservatives wh# did not turn out at the primary last week. Therefore, Evans’ and Duncan’s large vote can only be said to have come in part from that faction. Had not the Tillmanites voted agaiust Evans in large numbers he would have been elected by a large majority. They could not stand a man who had failed to disprove a single one of the damaging charges made against him. Old Edgefield county has many sins to atone for. but it must be said to her credit that she gave an overwhelming ma jority against the tatooed can didate, John Gary Evans. And it may be said too that John Gary Evans is a sort of an Edgefield man, which makes the action of the Edgefieldians all the more praiseworthy. Old Edgefield has surprised many people by giving a large majority against Tillman’s man. Have the eyes of her voters been opened to the true situation or has the taking off of Saluda brought about the change? What does Col. Bacon of the Chronicle have to say on the subject. Johnnie McLaurin and Man ning Irby are probably kicking themselves now because they did not run for the Senate. Either one of them could have beaten John Gary Evans by a at* and Stevenson in the Hon se, Chesterfield’s delegation will have some weight in Columbia. When the voters of a State have to make a choice between two such men as John Gary Evans and Joseph H. Earle for the U. S. Senate, they are cer tainly te be pitied. Li Hung Chang, the great Chinese viceroy, arrived in New York amid great demonstra tions of the naval forces gath ered in the bay to welcome him. The viceroy is reputed to be one of the greatest diplomats in the world and is said to be worth 500,000,000. Darlington Guards Inspection. The annual inspection of the Darlington Guards will take place on their parade ground, immediately north of the Arm ory, to-morrow (Friday) even ing, at 8 45 o'clock, sharp. The public generally, and the ladies in particular, are cordially in vited to be present at the cere mony. High Average* for Tobacco. Mr. S. H. Lawhorn sold 785 pounds of tobacco at the Plan ters Warehouse at an average price of 15 cents a pqpnd and Mr. E. E. McGill sold 847 pounds at the same place at nn average of 191 cents. - It is sol dom that a large lot of tobacco brings such high prices, but Darlington is giving such satis faction this year in the tobacco business that every man expects his tobacco to do well on this market. Col. Dargan Ran Over By a Runaway Col. J. J. Dargan was severe ly, but it is hoped not seriously hurt, last Monday afternoon a little after six o’clock. Someof his children and their friends were playing near his house when a runaway horse came dashing along—Col. Dargan, thinking that the children were ; n danger, ran in front of the horse.in the hope of diverting him down another street, ~ but the animal ran over him. Dr. Norment, who is attending him, hopes that his injuries, while serious, are not dangerous. Col. Dargan has suffered great pain, but, at last accounts, was doing well. To All Whom it May Concern. Hearing that a report is be ing circulated that better prices are being paid at one Ware House than at the other: We the undersigned wish to state to the patrons of the Darling ton tobacco market that we are not interested in any manner whatever in either house and will bid as liberally at one, as ac the other. We have the in terest of the market at heart and hope to satisfy every far mer who brings his tobacco to this market. Robt. Haibston, Buyer for A. T. Co. N. G. Stockton, Jno.

Darlington Tobacco Market. Darlington is strictly in the lead as a tobacco market—the market has already sold about 300,000 pounds since the open ing day, the 11th of August, and tobacco is bringing as much on the Darlington Warehouse floors as it is anywhere in the world. Messrs. Sydnor dfc Tredway, sold since the last issue, of The Darlington News three cur ings for Mr. D. C. Milling at an comfortable majority The!average of $18 per hundred; Me political foresight of these tv o Cullough & Harvey, one load wily politicians was certainly at “ ave W of t 1 *’ J - Win : at fault this time. The “straightouts” do not de sire to take away from the Till manites any of the credit of the recent primary, but are only too thankful to see that they have begun to think and see for themselves. The Tennessee Republicans have nominated G. N. Tillman for Governor and H. Clay Evans for Lieutenant Governor. Ho Tennessee 'has her Till man and Evans, as well as South Carolina. The News was the only pa per to publish election returns from the county last week. Its table was needy complete and the paper was onlv two or three hours late in ooming out «***'•*• 1 has ehctfld W. F. the Legislature, ixaer in She Sen- do m, one load at an average of $15; M. 8. Abbott, one load at an average of $14.50; J. J. Ward, one load at an average of $15; J. L. Register, one load at an average of $15. Darling ton buyers are paying the very highest market prices for tobac co and they are looking' after the interests of their patrons. The farmers of this section should appreciate their home market and give the warehouses a liberal patronage. Do not listen to the wild statements of foreign drummers about what they can do for you—some of these men who are going through the country soliciting shipment n from the farmers are paid commissions on what to bacco they may influence to go to the warehouses they aredrum- ming for. These commissions come out of the farmers at last. The high pi ice paid to one farm er, whu commissions of the drummer added, is always paid by others who get low prices.

Mr. Thorn well Thomas, of Tillers Ferry, has accepted a position as salesman with the firm of Blackmon, Estridge Co.

Mertz’s. The people of South Carolina owe John T. Duncan a deep debt of gratitude. To him is due the exposure of John Gary Evans’s rascality in connection with the bond deal and the whiskey rebates. To him is due the wide dissemination of the damning record John Gary Evans has made as a State Sen ator and as Governor. He faced Evans on every stump and charged him before the people with his rascality and forced the people to realize what sort of man had occupied the office of Governor for two years and aspired to th.t Senatorship. He aroused the people to a sense of shame that s > unworthy ** crea ture filled the highest office in the gift of the State, and to this awakening may be attributed at least three founhs of the votes cast against Evans. Dun can did the State a great ser vice and his work should be re cognized and admitted.—Sum ter Daily Item. Why they Voted Again*! Evans. The Columbia Register says that “thousands of Reformers voted against Evans because they were not satisfied with his explantation of the charges against him.” There is no doubt that such is the case, and it. is greatly to the credit of the Reformers. The fight on cTues- day was between their candida tes and the victory at thb polls wastheir victory .Whether Evans is defeated or not the Reform vote against Evans is one of the most hopeful signs of the times. As the Register says, “so far from being an evidence of weak ness in the Reform Movement, the vote against Evans is a tes timonial of its strength;” it, is only right that the Reformers shall have the credit for their good work at the polls.—News and Courier.
