the feet that the was so high in tee organ- the Dar Bgton Guards was not much ,.n ef a mooses from a financial standpoint; but it was from ersefr other—a most decided ^mooese. As a result, a great many requests hare been made by the people of Darlington for a repetition of the lecture course this season, so it has been de cided to undertake the venture again. It may be safely prom ised that this season’s course will even surpass that of last season. Sam Jones and Ham, who made such “hits” here last year, are to return; and. in addition, we are to have the Rev. Tom Dixon, who is the successor of Talmage, and Dr. A. A. Willits, who was for nearly thirty years pastor of the leading Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, and who has been for the past quarter of a century in the front rank of pulpit orators and lecturers. Dixon* and Willits are to be herein December, Jones in Jan uary, and Ham m February. As this talent is fully as high priced as that of last season, it is not at all likely that it will score any great financial sue cess for the Darlington Guards, Still, if the lecturers prove the success in other respects that last season’s were, that organi zation will feel abundantly re paid for any trouble it may be put to: for it may be truthfully said that -such lectures as Gor don, Jones and Ham delivered b«re last year were a benefit to the community, besides being a source of much pleasure to all who heard them. Rbv. T. DbWitt TximXqx D. D., himself one of the grekt est pulpit orators of the age, after hearing Dr. Willit’s “Model Wife,”'sent the follow ing notice to the Philadelphia “Thb Model Witb.—Anyone might well have been flattered with the reception given on Monday evening to Dr. Willits at the corner of Broad and Arch. The people of Philadel phia long ago understood that what this lecturer does he does well. His subject “The Model Wife,” was treated with a vividness that no one coulc wield who had not a living il lustration in his own home His celebrated lecture, entitle! “Sunshine,” may have in it more uproarious fun; but we commend this for its surpassing beauty, while at the same time it is fully enough fecetious for anyone not endowed with waist coat supernatorally strong Without any of the cant or con ventionalities or nasal twang with which many of our public speakers are afflicted, he dis coursed in a style that was log ical, without being dry, poetic, without being insipid, humor ous. without being silly, bold without being rash^pure. with out being finical. We all came away filled with good humor, and a resolution more highly to appreciate our homes. Indeed it is a great deal better to jolt down moral reflections with a good laugh than to take them m didatic potions. Long live Dr. Willits, the entertaining lecturer and the genial man! Dr. Willits visited Nasville, Tenn., and gave his “Sunshine,” and all the people were so car tied away with it that they in sisted on its repetition and the following notice, signed by Rev Dr. Witherspoon and Mr. A. S. Colyar, the editor of the Amer icon, and Mr. A. H. Robinson and other prominent citizens, waspublished in the American; “Having heard Dr. Willits lecture on “Sunshine,” and un derstanding he has agreed to repeat it for the benefit of char ity on the 31st, we unhesitating ly commend the lecture to the entire community as the most unique, chaste and charming view of the sunny side of life’s pains and pleasures to which it ever has been our good fortune to listen. The lecture is one bright, sparkling gem after another, each sheddin on the pathway the lecturer, with his genial manner and pleasing address, warms the affections and cheers tbe heart into complete sympa thy with the better side of life. No man will know all that is good and sweet in human life without hearing Dr. Willits on “Sunshine.”—A. H. Robinson, A. 8. Collar, F. W. Gaines, Roberi F. Jackson, Ferry With- vf 01/%rvnp The people of Darlington scarcely need any introduction to Rev. Tom Dixon, so renown- «d Mho. The New York 7W 1 hays of him: “Tbe man is master of the art of The New York Her- 5 mm+w ddiug its light of fife, while ers. Without affectation, and yet with dramatic intensity, he soon had control of his audi ence ” Detroit Free Press “The effect of this magnetic mem’s words on the congrega tion assembled in that church is indescribable. It is not an ex- travs gant use of words to say they were spell-bound.” Concerning Mr. Jones and Col. Ham, it is needless for us to make any comment at this time, as the people of Darling ton already know them. The fact that there is a sufficient de mand for them to have them re called to Darlington this season is of itself a guarantee that they will both be welcomed by crowd ed houses. Their lectures will, of course, be totally different from what they were before. Mr. Jones’ subject will be “8aw- cietv” and Mr. Ham’s “Old Times in Dixie.” A season ticket, entitling the holder to attend all four of these lectures, will be sold, as last season, for $2. The holders can have seats reserved in advance for the entire season as soon as they j>ut their names down as subscribers to the lecture course, so that those who subscribe first will have the choice seats. Single tickets for each lecture will vary in price according to the attraction, being never less than 50 cents, or more than $1. Securing “stars of the first mag nitude” like those named in volves heavy expense, and the project cannot be carried out unless a sufficient number of tickets sure sold in advance to justify us in undertaking it. A thorough canvass of the town will be made during the next few days, and no effort will be spared to organize the course of lectures if it is possible to do so. Subscribers are requested to send in their names at once, but they will not be called upon to pay their subscriptions until December 1st. Henry T. Thompson. Tht Ideal Panacea, James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, says: “I regard Dr. King’s New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for coughs, colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physicians’ prescriptions or other preparations.” Rev. John Burguj, Keokuk, lowo, writes: “I have been a Minister of the Methodist Epis copal Church for 50 years or more, and have never found anything so benificial, or that ve me such speedy relief as r. King.s New Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now. Trial Bottle Free at J. A. Boyd’s and 0. B. Davis’ Drug Stores. "MACK" JAMES’ CHANGE. He Deserts the Diamond to Begin the Study of Medicine. “Mack" James hat retired from the diamond, much to the disgust of his admirers among the students at the college and the ball cranks in general, who live in this city. “What pay Mack James will get next year.” “Baltimore swipe him in sure." Remarks like the above were herd from the cranks as they read of James’ latest feat on the diamond Then they would continue by spec ulating on the pay he would get next season. This was the way they talk ed of James and' his future in the national league. When it was rumored that he had begun the study of medicine at the college at Charleston, there was a wail among Columbia cranks. “He’d do a darned sight better making strikers saw out at the bat than he will as a sawbones,” said one, and among the assembly there was a ehorus of approval.—Tbe State.

Brought Into World-Wide Renown at the Age of 60 by the Production “Trilby”—Did Popular ity Kill Him? Lohdon, Oct. 8.—George Du Maur- ier, the artist aud author, who has been Buffering for some time with heart and lung troublee, died at 2.30 o'clock this morning. His death was peaceful. The physicians who attended Do Maurler announce that his heart has been weak for years and that a fort night ago this affection became ag gravated by a chill, the effect of which •ettled upon hie lunge. The velnminous obituary noticee published in the Loudon papers make no allusion to his alleged remarks to a friend that popularity had killed him, and there is every reason to be lieve that he never to expressed him self. George Lewis Palmella Du Man lier, artist and author, was born in Paris, March 0,1884, and was educated in that eity.but was a British subject. His grandparents on his father’s tide were emigres from France during the Reign of Terror. He went to Eng land at the age of 1? and studied chemistry under Dr Williamson at University college, London. After ward he studied painting in Paris under the famous M. Gleyere, also in Antwerp and Dusseldorf. He first began to draw on wood in England for Once a Week; afterwards for Punch and The Cornhill Magazine, and subsequently he joined The Punch staff. Since that time his work in drawings made him one of the best known and most admired of contem porary artists and satirists. Mr. Du Maurier illustrated Esmond, “The story of a Father,” “Thacker-1 ay’s Ballards” and many other booxs. He was an Associate of tbe Royal Society of painters in waterooiors. A special exhibition of his works was held at the rooms of the Fine Art So ciety in 1885. In 1891 Mr. Du Maurier published a novel, “Peter Ibbetson,” in Harper’s Magazine, and in 1894 his novel, “Tril by,” appeared The opening pages of his latest work, “The Martian,” appeared in the October number of Harper's Magazine. Mr. Du Maurier has lectured oc- cassionally on subjects connected with his work as an artist. ANOTHER REFORMER SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS, Treasurer Keels, of Suntter, Gets Away With B7000 of the PeoDle’s Money. Sumter, October 7.—Special: Since Capt. D. E. Keels retired from the treasurer’s office of Sumter County it has been re nted that he was a defaulter or several thousand dollars, but until this term of Court nothing definite was developed. At the last term of Court the grand jury appointed a special committee to inspect the books of Ex-Treasurer Keels and re- port at this term of Court. The committee employed W. W. Suder, an expert bookkeeper, to examine the books, which he did. and the presentment of the grand jury made this afternoon declares D. E. Keels a defaulter for $7,164,95. Judge Benet or dered the solicitor to take the necessary steps to bring Mr. Keels before the Court at this session, which will be done.
