The election commissioners for Darlington county met in Darlington Tuesday, but, as there were only two out of the three present, it was decided to put off the time for canvassing the vote for the new county un til Tuesday next. Those who are in favor of Salem epunty have filed a protest, through Townsend & Floyd, against de claring the vote as it stands in Darlington and Kershaw coun ties, on account of certain irre- gularties. The other side is rep resented by Boyd & Brown and E. Keith Dargan. What the outcome of the fight will be can not be told now, but, if the Salem ites secure their county, they are going to have to put up a strong fight. Those opposed to the county have been working very little of late, but they seem now to be thoroughly aroused. It was published in the daily K rs the other day that Lam- id gone for the new county by a considerable majority, but it turns out now that the figures were incorrect and Lamar went against it by a large majority, thus defeating the measure m Darlington county. 6- The Gueonta lecture and mu sical course of the season open ed last evening with a full house to hear a speaker who can never come to Oneonta too often. Brilliant as was his lec ture on “Backbone,” in last year’s course, the present one on “Fools” must be pronounced superior to it. We think the verdict of the entire audience will justify this estimate, and we should have to look far to recall its equal in all the splen did discourses which have de lighted the patrons of these lec ture courses. For brilliance of diction, aptness of illustration and high moral purpose, Mr. Dixon has scarce an equal on the lecture platform, and many passages will linger long in the minds of all who heard them. It was a lecture to arouse all the bettor impulses, to strength en every power of self-culture, and to positively influence con duct.—Oneonta (X. Y.) Daily Star. The last lecture of the course iven by the Men’s League was elivered last night at the Opera House by Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New York. It is said that Sandusky is not a lecture going community, hut the Opera House was crowded to its fullest capacity. Mr. Dixon has appeared be fore a Sandusky audience many times and it was thought by some who had listened to him that it waa not possible for him to make a better impression i than he did upon former visits, hut to all such the lecture was a surprise. Perhaps one thing that gives Mr. Dixqji his p<»wer upon the lecture platform is hia originality. We have all of ua heard arguments pro and con upon woman suffrage, the com ing woman and the future wo man, but there were few pres ent last evening to whom the subject matter of the address was not a revelation. When j Mr. Dixon again revisits San dusky his audience need only ' he limited by the capacity of the hall in which he speaks.— Sandusky Register, Jan. 28, ’96. — Look out for the big adver tisement “of The Book Store next week. 160 barrels of apples to ar rive Dec. 1st at Dean Bros.
