home of his childhood.
The News and Courier says: “Mr.
E. Mclv* Williamson, of Darling
ton County, who is in the city taking
in the Gala Week festivities, is a
prominent and prosperous farmer,
and is an enthusiastic lover of his
native laud. He said that the cot
ton crop in his county this year is
the best that has been made si rice the
war. 'Pile corn crop was very good
and the ^farmers are on a general
good footing. “Darlington is a great
cdumy,” said Mr. Williamson, “and
the city of Darlington is a great
place. To show yon how it has
grown, I can say that in the last ten
years its population has grown from
800 tS 4,000. And the place is still
growing.”
There is a flutter of excitement in
the hearts of Darlington’s fair
daughters, consequent on the an
nouncement, to a select circle of his
friends, that a well known cotton
buyer, desirous of joining the society
of Saint Benedict, is about to start
out in an entirely new line from buy
ing cotton. He is thinking of es
tablishing a bureau, of which he
bistres to^be president, to meet with
and-adviseThe -young ladies on the
latest styles of dresses, bonnets and
■hats, what would be becoming to
their several styles of beauty, and
also what sort of costumes they
should wear when visiting the large
cities. With a view of encouraging
this laudable enterprise in every way
possible, the columns of The Herald
will be open to any hints on the sub
ject which our lady friends may send
ns. Communications must reach ns
not later than Mondays.
On the,'plantation of Mrs. Lydia
Witherspoon, about six miles West

John, wept over to see about the cot
ton that had been picked that day

Grand Jury Report.
South Carolina, \
Darlington County. /
To His Honor J. H. Hudson, Pre
siding Judge:
The Grand Jury make the follow
ing as their final presentment:
During the year we have examined
the offices and books of the several
county officers, and find nothing to
bring to the attention of the Court.
In the Court House we find the
jury rooms in unsatisfactory condi
tion We recommend that they be
furnished with comfortable settees
and tables, and that more attention
be paid to their cleanliness, and es
pecially that proper means be taken
to prevent the urinals from becoming
offensive. Such settees as are pro
vided frequently in the w aiting rooms
at the railroad depots we suggest
would be economical and suitable.
In the Sheriff’s office we find there
is need of a case for the preservation
of such executions as have to be kept
in that office. The one now in use
is, in cur judgment, not suited for
the purpose.
We have examined the Official
Bonds of all the County officers, and
find them, in our judgment, adequate
to protect the interests of the County
and State.
At the Poor House we find the
Superintendent’s house in a bad con
dition—the roof leaking, the plaster
ing falling, and part of the underi
pinning giving way. The cottages
have the windows badly broken,
many of them with very few whole
panes of glass. The inmates appear
to be otherwise as well provided for
as the means provided will allow,
and we have no complaints from any
of them. We regard the repairs re
ferred to as of great importance and
demanding immediate attention from
the County Commissioners.
The condition of the Public Roads
in the County seems to have reached
a point beyond the endurance of a
long-suffering public. Complaints
come to us from every part of the
county of important roads badly
worked or not worked at all, many of
the smaller bridges impassible or
dangerous, and travel in some places
almost impossible. In the opinion
of many of onr citizens the road laws
of the State are inadequate to the
urgent state of our country; bnt the
Grand Jury are of the opinion that
the present laws, if enforced, would
at least be sufficient to give to the
people of every part of the county
roads that would admit of travel with
an ordinary load, and without dan
ger to horse or vehicle. The prac
tice of plowing into the limits of the
public roads, which has often been
complained of, seems to continue.
We think it should be the duty of
the County Commissioners to prevent
these trespasses on the rights of the
public, and to take legal steps to
bring the parties -so trespassing to
justice.
At the present term of the Court
many cases have been sent up for ag
gravated assault and battery. In our
judgment a large proportion of these
cases ought to have been adjudicated
by the Trial Justices ascases of sim
ple assault and battery within their
jurisdiction. This course, if pur
sued, would have not only saved the
expense to the county of the investi
gation by the Grand Jury, but would
have promptly administered justice
to the guilty parties pronortioned to
the gravity of the offence committed.
We have heard with interest the
remarks of the presiding Judge on
the term of service of jurors.' We
recommend that the law requiring
petit jurors to serve during the whole
term of court he amended, and that
the jurors be summoned to serve on
ly for one week.
Thanking Your Honor for the
clearness of your instructions, aud
for the courtesy and assistance ex
tended to us in the discharge of our
duties.
Respectfully submitted,
Wm. A. Carrigan, Foreman.

True Democrats.
[Columbia Record.]
Marion, S. C., Oct. 22, 1890.
Editor Record:—Your editorial
headed “Have They the Right,” pub
lished on the 2l8t, was read with
much pleasure by the Straightout
Democrats here. It is a complete
answer to the question: “Is it true
that citizens can deny and ignore the
authority of the Democratic party
and yet claim to be the proper expo
nents?” What constitutes the Dem
ocratic party? Is it the machinery
of the party or certain fundamental
principles? Now; if the machinery
of the party is the party, then I ad
mit that I am out of the party, be
cause Tillman and his followers have
charge of that machinery; bnt if the
Democratic party is a party of prin
ciples, then 1 contend that I am in
the party, and Tillman out. How
can we tell what a party is except by
its platform and the utterances of its
loaders? Now, lets examine these a
little, and what do we find ? We
find that that Tillman convention
gulped down at one swallow Green
back Weaver’s entire platform. In
stead of declaring in favor of “honest
money, the gold aud silver coinage of
the constitution,” they say: “Third,
we demand the abolition of national
banks, and that legal tender treasury
notes be issued in sufficient volume
to do the business of the country on
a cash system, and that all the mon
ey issued by the government shall be
legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private.” This is
only one of the many curious planks
in this so-called Democratic plat
form.
Now, lets examine some of the
methods and utterances of some
Tillmanite leaders. I will take this
county; but what was done here was
no doubt done all over the State.
The Tillmanites held meetings all
o-efthe county and passed resolu
tions that “we will support no man
for any office who does not endorse
B. IL Tillman aud the March plat
form.” These resolutions practical
ly disfranchised all anti-Tillman
Democrats. A county convention is
called to do a single thing, but when
it convenes, the Tillmanites, finding
themselves in a majority, proceed di
rectly in the face of the constitution
of the party to do a number of other
things. The nominee for Congress
from this district is not only in favor
of that un-Democratic sub-treasury
scheme, but is also understood to be
pledged not to be bound by. the party
caucus in Washington.
The nominees on the Legislative
ticket from this county, who, by the
way, were put out by a Tillman cau
cus, are pledged not to vote for Wade
Hampton for the Senate unless he
will pledge himself to work and vote
for the “farmers’ demands,” among
them the sub-treasury bill. Much
more might be said, but I think this
sufficient to show that the Tillman
ites have abandoned Democratic doc
trines, but hold to the name. What
would be thought of a preacher who
would say I am a Methodist, but
don’t believe in the discipline, or a
Presbyaerian.but don’t believe in the
confession of faith? Would he be
regarded as a Methodist or Prebyte-
rian? But snppose a majority of
his congregation should say, “We
agree with him,” and elect him to
preach for them, and the minority
should withdraw and establish an
other church calling it by the same
name, now which would be the
church, the one that held the prop
erty, etc., or the one that adhered to
the doctrines pf the church ? Why,
of course, the congregation—though
in the minority—which was ortho
dox. So it is with us. Tillman
clings to the machinery and name,
but has abandoned 'the doctrines of
the party. We cling to the time
honored doctrines of the Democracy,
and we are, therefore, the Dpmocrat-
ic party. • - A. B.

Col. Evans’ Announcement.
To the V oters or Darlington County:
I beg to announce to you that I am still
a candidate for the office of School Com
missioner. I am not an Independent
candidate, bpt claim to be the nominee of
the Convention. I was not present at it
but am' informed by a great many who
were that I was twice nominated, fairly
and honestly, first by the ayes and sec
ondly by a standing vote. If this be so 1
appeal confidently to the people to do
justice to me. The office of School Com
missioner should depend solely upon the
character of the man and his qualifica
tions as a teacher. You have my record
before you. Let me be judged by it.
- Yours very respectfully,
W. H. EVANS.
The State Fair.
t
On page 10 of the Premium List of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie
ty for the present year, will be found the
offer of Premiums amounting in the ag
gregate to $500, 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 Displav
of Products grown or produced by resi
dents of the County, Pemiums will be
awarded as follows: 1st Premium, $350;
2nd Premium, $160; 3rd Premium $100—
In all, $500. AH Grain must be shown in
quautitles not 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.”
1 beg that you call special attention to
this feature, aud urge your County to be
a competitor in the contest. Aside from
the money involved, County pride should
stimnlate our farmers to enter heartily
into the matter, and thus show the pro
gress of Agriculture in our State.
I take it that the most affective plan
would be for the several County Allian
ces from the Sub-Alliances, to canvass the
matter at an early day, and thus become
organized, so that by the first of Novem
ber each County will be able to know what
will be shown, and at what Railroad Sta
tion shipments will be made.
Railroads require prepayment of freight,
but upon its return to the original point
of shipment, with the Certificate of. the
Secretary that the same had been on ex
hibition, the amount will be refunded.
I will be pleased to furnish a copy of
the Premium List to all who may apply
