LOCAL ITEMS.
(tens of Interest Gathered Here
aid There and Briefly Noted,
If you want it goo; 1 , garden get your
seed at lloyd’n.
We have been requested to state
that the scheme for the organization
of a Boston 1’ar.h has been abandon
ed.
As soon as arrangements can be
made, the Heuai.d will hare reliable
correspondents from all parts of the
County, and our readers can confi
dently depend on being posted on all
itemes of general interest.
On Monday the 2nd, instant two
freight trains wore put on the Che-
raw & Darlington Railroad—one a
through freight to Wadesboro and
the other a through freight to Harts-
■ville. The Wadesboro freight will
do the local work.
We have been informed that the
street scraper purchased some time
ago for the use of the town, is stand
ing in the ■'.veather,, ,lt cost a good
deal of mor ?y and ought to be shel
tered. A few more months of expo
sure to sun and rain will make it
worthless.
The editor of the Herald returns
his heartfelt thanks to the friends
who have come forward with words
of encouragement, and begs to assure
them that their kindness can never
be forgotten.
We also tender our grateful ac
knowledgements to the Darlington
News for its courtesy in giving
notice of the resumption of the Her
ald.
We take the liberty of suggesting
to onr excellent and wide awake
Town Council that it would be well
to have some light but strong ladders
made for use when we are visited by
fire. At the recent fire great trouble
aud danger could have been avoided
by a supply of ladders. Even with
out a truck they can be carried to
any of the business part of the town.
The engine is in excellent order, and
with the bidders we will be prepared
to fight the devouring element. A
well epuipped fire apparatus always
reduces the rate of insurance, and
we earnestly hope that the Council
will soon see their way clear to have
a paid department.
The beautiful poem, Memorial Al
ters, which uppers hi this issue of the
Herald, was written about fifteen
years ago,, for the benefit of the La
dies Monumental Association, of
Darlington; and aside from the inter
est which attaches to it on this
account, it is a poetic gem. The
manuscript of the poem, u as sent to
the late Col Warley, who had it prin
ted in pamphlet form. He read it
before a Isirge audience, iu the Pres
byterian church, who were thrilled
with its touching beauty, to which
was added the power and paitros of
Col. Warley’s delivery.
The author of the poem, A. J.
Ivequier, as his name indicates, was a
Frenchman, and was a resi
dent of Darlington about thirty
five or forty year ago; remaining here
for only a year or two. He removed
to New York, and rose to eminence
in his profession, law. He died
several years ago. He was the author
of several other poems, which will be
published from time to time in our
columns.
we
Te Onr Readers.
With the issue after the next,
hope to very much improve the typo-
gaaphicul appearance of the Herald.
Notice!
We are offering our entire Winter
stock of Men’s, Boys and Children
Clothing and Over Coats at cost for
cash. McCall & Burch.
Onr Exchanges.
Owing to the large amount of work
devolving upon ns in getting out
this issue, we have had to neglect
giving clippings from other State
papers, but hereafter will devote a
column especially to our exchanges.
C. 8. k N. Railroad.
Track laying is under way from
Darlington in the direction of Sum
ter, and in a month or two they ex
pect to be running solid trains from
Beflnettsville to Charleston. They
have a lot of convicts at work on the
Pee Dee embankment. On the com
pletion of this line, we will have two
routes North and two to Charleston.
Tobacco Cron lag.
Mr. C. ,S. McCullough, one of our
most enterprising citizens, will plant
15 acres of tobacco on his farm in
Doneraile, and will erect 3 brick
barns to cure, it iu. These bams will
be 20x20 feet, and will be the best in
this whole section. It has been con
clusively proven that tobacco is a
profitable crop with us,' but it is the
height of folly for any one to attempt
its culture without being thoroughly
prepared for it, as the least mistake
in the curing may bring loss instead
of profit. It will be a long time, if
ever, before it takes the place of cot
ton, but while this is true, money is
being made by cnltivating it.
if we wish our State to occupy
prominent place in the councils of
the Nation; then we must educate
the rising generation, and fit them
for the battle of life. A good ;
is the most enduring monument that
we can leave to those who are to come
after us.
A Crowd in Darlington.
A correspondent of , the Florence
Times, writing from Ebenczcr says
that on Salesday in January there
were at least 3000 people in Darling
ton, and that it would be well for
the Florence merchants to find out
how Darlington manages to attract
such a crowd. He also stated that
at least $1500 was spent in our town
that day.
The Herald will give the infor
mation, if anybody wants to know,
and wont charge a cent for the secret.
The merchants of Darlington don’t
brag, but they keep first class goods,
and sell them at prices that, to folks
unaccustomed to trading in Darling
ton, seem astonishingly low. Were
it not for this fact, the amount men
tioned by this correspondent would
not more than represent a fair profit
on the business of that day.
In addition to this, Darlington is
the best cotton market in Eastern
South Carolina.
Save Your Money.
A reference to the advertisement
of the People’s Bank will show what
a splendid inducement they offer to
mechanics and laborers to save their
money. They not only keep it safely
but pay fair interest besides. It very
often happens that a poor man will
spend money that he might save,
simply because he has no safe place
to keep it, and then too he is apt to
think that the small sum of two or
three dollars is scarcely worth both
ering with. I jet any industrious
young man try the plan of putting a
few dollars in the Bank every mouth,
and he M ill find that in the course of
three or four years, he will have
enough to get him a home. We
earnestly trust that our laboring
classes generally will avail themselves
of this opportunity. Lay up some
thing for the time of sickness, and
then too in case of your death, your
family will not be left without any
means of support If you dout pro
ride for your own family you can’t
expect anybody else to do it. It is
needless to say that the People’s Bank
is both strong and safe.

cd fftyn tie effects of ‘Mis
are still at the front. All they care
for, is the chanco to show thur
choice stock of goods, feeling confi
dent of their ability to suit every’, ody
who may call on them.
Improvements on the Square.
The walls of Mr. Nachman’s two
story store are being rapidly run up,
and when completed will be one of
the finest buildings on the Square.
The building will be 95 feet deep
with a frontage of 36 feet, aud will
be divided into tu-o stores. The
upper story is to be divided into
rooms, and Mr. Nachman M ill occupy
it as a private residence. It Mill be
elegantly fitted up, have electric lights,
water works and every convenience
that could be found in a large city.
What Mill be a novel feature for
Darlington is the fine conservatory
that is to occupy a part of the roof.
The front will be entirely of iron,
and will be an ornament to our town.
Three stores have been destroyed by
fire on this lot, but Mr. Nachman is
evidently tired of being burnt out,
and does not intend trusting himself
any more in a wooden building.
Mr. Beck and Mrs. Schmid have
also commenced building, and their
buildings M ill also be of brick.
The old post office building is also
to be removed and a brick building
put in its place.
Welling & Bounoit will at an early
day remove the old Lide store and
put a fine brick store in its place.
The Change at the Post Office.
Of course the change of post mas
ters is very much to be deplored, but
us polities go, it u’as not to be expec
ted that the President would appoint
a democrat in the place of Mrs. Law,
or allow her to retain the office. Mrs.
Law’s administration was admirable
in every respect, andjt M as earnestly
hojieJ that some competent republi
can would get the place; hut iu this
u e have been disappointed, and the
business interests of the toM'n have
been seriously inconvenienced by the
inability of the now past master to
handle the large amount of mail mat
ter that reaches this office.
The Board of Trade have taken
no action in the matter, prefering
that the poet office authorities should
inquire into the matter of their own
violation. Our people are law abid
ing, and the demonstrations of dis
approval, on the part of a few, who
allowed their feelings to run away
with their judgement, wore promptly
checked by the' disapproval of the
more conservative element of the
community.
Mr. Gatlin has, by his past politi
cal record made - himself very obnox
ious to our people; but there M as very
little dignity or common sense iu
insulting an old and feeble man. It
is but simple justice to Mr. Gatlin
to say that he has announced that he
will do his best to make the office
what it ought to be, and give the
people no reason to complain. If he
Mill employ an assistant that can se
cure the confidence of our business
men, it will be taken as evidence of
his good intention.
McCall & Burch are offering bar
gains in remnants of dress goods,
ginghams, calico, &e.
Where and whs has the Goods.
Messrs. Edwards, Normeut & Co.,
have been before the public for a
number of years, but still believe in
advertising, but it would take up too
much space to enumerate everything
they have iu stock. Their goods in
variety, amount and quality u’ould
do credit to a much larger place than
Darlington.
The firm of Woods & Woods are
still at the old stand, and, as ever,
are ready to serve their customers
with everything that can be found iu
a first chiss store. They are receiv
ing new goods every day; this being
rendered necessary by their large and
constantly increasing trade. They
have a:: enviable reputation for fair
dealing and low prices.
A Busy Man.
The editor of the Ncm s practices
law in addition to his newspaper
work, and in besides to these
onerous occupations be has been
elected. Captain of the Darlington
Guards. It u-ould be extremely diffi
cult to find a man more thoroughly
posted in tactics than Capt. Thomp
son, and if he succeeds as uell in
grilling the Guards us he used to do
with the boys of St John’s Academy;
Darlington w ill have one of the finest
military companies in the State.

Onr Graded Schools.
. If there is any one institution iu
our midst of u-hich u-e may justly
feel proud; it is our splendid system
of graded schools; and it is not over
stating the case to say that they will
do. more for the permanent prosperi
ty of the town than any other enter
prise that could be inaugurated.
This is an age of great educational
activity, and no town can afford to
be negligent in respect to schools,
unless it is content to lag behind,
aud suffer both in prestige and ma
terial prosperity. There is no tux
that ought to be so cheerfully paid,
as the school tax, and none M ill
bring such sure returns. It Mas
feared that there Mould be consider
able opposition ty the levying of the
school tax, but the clear aud lucid
statement made by the Board of
trustees, disarmed all criticism, and
the vote, in favor of levying a tax
sufficient to carry on the schools, u as
practically nuonimous.
The trustees have, in the selection
of the superintendent and teachers,
and in the general management of
the schools, more than realized the
expectations of the public.
No truer sayings was ever uttered,
than that “Knowledge is Power,” and
Mrs. K. W. Parker will have in
ample time for the Spring trade the
ost complete stock of millenery
ver seen in Darlington, and projioses
to both astonish the ladies by moder
ate prices and delight them by the
beauty of her goods. She is glad to
announce that she has secured the
services of a first class dressmaker,
and can catisfy the most funtidious
taste.
The old reliable house of J. Frank
Early is still on hand, and as ever
arc prepared to give Jmrgains in every
thing in the M ay of general merchan
dise. The reserved space in the Her
ald is to tell M’hut they have in the
next issue. J. H. Early has part of
the space, aud keeps everything in
the way of machinery. He is a prac
tical machinist, and is ready to do
first class u'ork in his line.
Dr. Boyd was the greatest sufferer
by the fire, but has entirely replenishs
ed his stock, and is ready to serve his
customers us usual. His reputation
us a druggists and his taste in the
selection of fancy goods is u ell known
throughout the county. With hi-
M'dl trained corps of clerks custo
mers can always count on being well
served.
John Siskron has been in business
*
for u good many years, but he is still
at the front, and if you want a wagon,
buggy or any other kind of a vehicle
he cun supply you, and suit even the
stingiest kind of a man with his
prices. He also has a large stock of
furniture which he is prepared to
sell at prices that w ill le hard to
meet
McCall & Burch have one of the
handsomest stores in town, and their
determination is to make their goods
correspond with the store in appear
ance. They have only been ut .their
present stand a few months; and
want to let people know where they
are and what they have for sale.
A reference to Mr. Broom’s ad ver
tisement will show you the bargains
he offers. Ilia store is not large
enough for groceries and hardware,
but he makes big sweeps in dry goods
and shoes.
