At a recent Conference of the Methodist Church the following res olution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That the thanks of this Church Conference are eminently due and arc hereby tendered to broth er W. D. Woods for his diligent, faithful and efficient services ren dered in superintending the recent improvements of the church.” An Universal Sentiment. We heard a very prominent citizen of Darlington say the other day that he had intended to vote for Tillman for Governor, but that since reading his speech of acceptance he did not see how he or any other Anti-Till- manite could conscientiously cast a ballot for the vile slanderer.

Mbs. B Malloy, O. A.; Lenny, Mr.; C. Law, P. M. Questions Answered. The weather daily cooler, the fall season is upon us. It now behooves one to make suitable preparations, and the question now is where shall I trade ? Who has the most select line of Dress Goods? From whom can I get the best bargains in a pair of fine shoes ? And a dozen kindred ques tions. Look through the advertising columns of The Herald for an an swer to each of these questions. Brick Pavements. The brick pavement in front of the Enterprise Hotel and the People’s Bank is a great improvement. We hope that all of the land owners on the public square will follow the example set. A Grand Affair. The annual inspection and recep tion of the Darlington Guards was an occasion which in every way re flects credit upon this popular organ ization, and particularly is this the case with the committee to whom so much of the necessary arrangements were entrusted. A very large num ber of invited guests were present last Friday night, the handsome ar mory being crowded with interested spectators to enjoy the programme for the occasion. Conspicuous among the guests were the large number of the fair friends of our soldier boys, and it was frequently remarked that a fairer gathering of the beauty of Darlington had never been seen. From various parts of our county and town they came, and sweet faces, graceful figures and handsome toi lettes were the inspiration and adorn ment of an occasion remembered with pleasure by all who were present. Capt J. K. Mclver is thoroughly posted on all military tactics and his superior as a commanding officer is seldom or never seen. His skill and discipline were attested by the fine appearance his company presented and the excellence of their drilling was a surprise even to those who knew what they could do. Gen. M. L. Bonham, thinking it would not be possible for him to be present, j appointed Gen. W. E. James to act new in his place; but he managed by an extra effort to attend, and, with Maj. II. T. Thompson and Capt. C. S. Nettles, assisted Gen. James, who made the inspection, which was in every way a most credirable one. At the conclusion of the inspection a prize drill in the manual was held, The Public Schools. The following are the numbers that have attended the several schools ddring the past week: St. John’s 207, Factory School 52, Mayo 150. He Will Bear Watching. Our old bachelor friend Newt Harrell seems to take great interest in the education of the girls. He accompanied a party of them as jfar as Wadesboro last Monday evening. Don’t Resign. Mr. W. F. Early, who was recently appointed a Federal Election Com missioner by Governor Richardson, says that he does not intend to re sign but will discharge the duties of the position to the bestof his ability. We hope that the other Commissiou- ers, Messrs. Dargan and McCown, have no idea of resigning. The Darlington Hotel. We regret to learn that Mrs. G. C. Cole will move next week to Palatka, Florida, and that the Darlington Hotel will pass into other hands. This house, so long under the man agement of Mrs. C. E. Hymes and latterly of her daughter Mrs. Cole, is an institution of the town, and it is a matter of regret that this hotel will no longer be under the management of the family. Mrs. Cole has our kindest wishes for success in her home. How to Get Rid of the Flics. A New York man says he has dis covered a fly destroyer that discounts all the fly papers and fly poisons that have yet been put into use. Last spring he went into the country and brought back with him when he re participated in by the non-commis- turned a number of clover blossoms, sioned officers and privates.

Law received last week was most satisfactorily performed. The first few rounds the gallant sol diers fell rapidly, and on the fourth round only ten were left in the con test. For some time this squad did some splendid drilling in the manual, and it was only by close counting that the ranks were at last thinned out. Finally Sergeants R. E. James and B. F. Williamson alone remained and the eager and interested specta tors stood up in crowds, amid hushed excitement, and watched the fine drilling these young soldiers did for the prize. At last, after a prolonged ’ contest and a remarkably close one, ; Sergt. Williamson was declared the I winner and stood before his comrades j the possessor of the handsome silver : goblet, and with the added and hon orable distinction of being the best drilled man in the Darlington Guards. and and studied, and says he has dis covered that flies cannot stand the scent of dried clover. We hope that some subscriber of The Helald will try this and report the result. The Bank of Darlington is doing all in its power to supply the demand 1 for small change. Extra Fancy Vanilla Syrup G0c‘ gal, New Crop N. O. 75c, Good Mo lasses 40c gal. WEST & HONOUR. On Friday and again on .Monday a handsome gold headed cane, pre sented by Mrs. Cousins, of Virginia, the wife of one of his staff officers. It was cut from a poplar tree under which Gen.

Northcutt, first over seer iu the weave room, has had a very sick child for the past month. The accommodation of the academy lately put up for the benefit of the operatives is very much appreciated. Messrs. Wentworth and Ranzy, who have been with us for some time, have secured positions in Rac coon, Ga. The State Fair. On page 10 of the Premium T.ist of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie ty for the present year, will he found the offer of Premiums amounting in the ag gregate to iJ.'iOO, for the Counties making the best display of County Products, to be shown at the Fair November 10, 1890. The requirements are: “To the Coun ty making the Best and Largest Display of Products grown or produced by resi dents of the County, Pentiums will be awarded as follows:" 1st Premium. $250; 2nd Premium, $150; 3rd Premium $100— In all, $500. All Grain must be shown in quantiliosnot less than one-half bushel. The Judges making the award in this con test, will consider first, Quality; second, Quantity ; third, Variety; and "fourth, Ar rangement. Articles for the County dis play will not count in the Individual Premium.” I beg that you call special attention to this feature, and urge your County to be a competitor in the contest. Aside from the money involved, County pride should stimulate our farmers to enter heartily into the matter, and thus show the pro gress of Agriculture in our State. J CHURCHES.

Bonham ^ on ' n the Coker Band. The zeal of Capt. James Melton and Mr. then addressed the company, making an eloquent and impressive speech which was well received. His re marks were patriotic and earnest, showing that under all circumstan ces the highest interests of South Carolina were with him a sacred her itage. Gen. James had to make a brief speech in response to the fre quent calls for him. Capt. C. S. Nettles was called for so vociferously that a response from him became necessary, and in behalf of the Dar lington Guards he made some very appropriate remarks to Gen. Bonham, and his allusion to the esteem in H. L. Blunt make it a grand success. Mr. John Douglas, who has been with the company since it first started, has only missed four days from his honorable position—that of overseer of the cloth room. The Holiness band has not visited the factory for some time. A num ber of the operatives say that Revs. Lew, Moore, Rice and Guerry are sufficient without the Rev. Jim Wil liams.

Last Wednesday was the Day of Atonement, and it was generally ob served by our Hebrew citizens. The event is exclusively celebrated in the bouses of the people, and, combined with a musical feast of expiation and penance, forms one of the most sol emn of all Jewish observances. A rigid fast is kept from sunset to sunset Press Thomas Dead. Died, at his borne near Lydia, on Monday morning last, Preston L. Thomas, aged twenty-four. Mr. Thomas had been for some Unit' the Deputy Sheriff of Darlington County. and showed them all graceful and at tentive courtesies. The refreshments were furnished by Von Santen and were particularly nice and were very much enjoyed. The Guards desire to return thanks to the ladies who rendered them such invaluable as sistance on this occasion, and which they appreciate highly. The ladies have always rendered the assistance that they only can give, a fact which the company acknowledge with pride. Another fact that the company arc especially proud of, and one which few other commands can boast, is that one of the fairest and most charming of the fair daughters of the Pee Dee is an honorary member of the Darlington Guards.

Ervin was drawing paint from a barrel and Mr. Edwards struck a match to see if the paint was flow ing, when there was instantly a ter rific explosion.
