No farmer can af ford to be without it, beeause it saves him many times its cost during the year. The purse lost by a young lady at the “merry-go-round” has been fouw} recovered by our efficient Chief of Police, who deserves much credit for The con tents of the purse were intact, with the exception of about four dollars. The boy who picked it up was color ed and not white as was generally believed. It is hardly necessarry to call at tention to the advertisement of Jas. Allan & Co. of Charleston. Their stock of silverware and jewelry is complete in every respect Persons visiting the city are invited to inspect their stock. They pay specirt atten tion to filling orders and guarantee satisfaction. The work on Mr. Jove’s house is Being rapidly done, and it will soon be ready for occupancy. . Mr. Sanders has commenced build ing on Spring St, one of the most desiiable sections of the town. Haynsworth & Boyd can be found in the Hewitt building on the North side of the Square. The grand jury have found a true bill against John S. Floyd for the murder of Calvin Rhodes. The stores are being supplied with electric lights, and kerosene lamps will soon be at a discount on The weather became very cold last Thursday night, and it is very much feared that the peaches are killed. The wires for the electric lights are being strung, and m about six weeks folks will be able to walk around without carrying lanterns. The advertisement of Sulzbacher & Sou will appear in this issue. They have an establishment in • Florence and one in Darlington, and keep the finest and most complete stock of silverware and jewelry ever seen in this part of the State. They are ready to compare prices with any establishment. They are the official time-keepers for the Atlantic Coast Line, and this is sufficient evidence of their skill in repairing and reg luting watches. peas; ab'^ut tw’enty acres being devo ted to this vegetable. When the vines cease bearing they will be removed and tomatos planted on the same land, thus giving two crops in one year. This is an entirely new enter prise for Darlington, and the work ing ol this large crop of vegetables will be watched with a great deal of interest. If the business is a success, and there is no reason why it should not be, it will be a great help to the town, and eventually be instrumental in inducing other manufeturing en terprises to locate in Darlington. How to Get Your Paper for Nothing For every ten subscriptions, paid in advance; handed in by one person, we will give them the Herald one year free of charge. With a very little trouble you can get your own paper free. TO THE PERSOX Handing in the largest number of subscribers by the first of April, we will give one years subscription of any one of the leading magazines, leaving the selection to the success ful competitor. If any of our lady friends wish to compete, they can take their choice between the maga zine and four dollars worth of flow ers from Mr. Mertz’s conservatory. Sample copies furnished to those who wish to compete, if they will notify us. The Treasurer and Auditor are both hard at work, and the folks who neglected to make returns and pay their taxes will soon be in trouble. The Rev. G. B. Moore will preach nevt Sunday night, at the Baptist church, on popular erors in religion. The public are cordially invited to attend. Edwards, Norment & Company wish to call attention to the change iu their advertisement, and want Several of .the most prominent farmers in the county have requested us to call attention to the practice that a great many people have run ning their furrows too far out in the road. The nuisance is a serious one, and some action ought to be imme diately taken in regard to it. There is really no excuse for it, and it would seem that our farmers ought to take some pride in keeping our public highways oj>en. We have an excellent board of county commis sioners, and it is hoped that they will soon take this matter in hand and remedy the evil. The Herald raging I’e/ Dee? will render them all the assistance in its^power; and proposes to agitate the question as long as the evil exists. The Rail Roads. Track laying is still under way on the C. S. & N. Road, and it won’t be long before our Benuettsville friends will be able to give us a call without plunging into the gloomy swamps of the historic Pee Dee. By the way; when the road is finished we ought to celebrate the event in some fitting way; and the Herald will gladly open its columns for suggestions in regard to the matter. Shall Darling ton invite Benncttsville to visit the metropolis of Eastern South Carolina; or will Benuettsville array herself in her Sunday clothes and open her doors to Darlington; or will they meet on neutral ground and drink to each others happiness and pros perity in the muddy waters of the to supply; for just as soon as it be came known that there could be no question as to the purity of the water used; everybody would want the ice, and it would readily command a higher price than the natural ice from the North; a large portion of which is gathered from ponds and streams that arc known to be impure. It could very easily be shown that impure ice is responsible for a con siderable portion of the sickness that cities and towns suffer from during the summer; hence the importance of using an article that is known to be pure. An ice factory here could ship its product to Columbia and nearly all the towns in the upper part of the State. Properly managed it would not only be a profitable in vestment, but help the town besides. Tiie Phoenix Furniture Company, OF CHARLESTON, S. C. :- : Wholesale and Retail Furniture Emporium.

We learned, when it was too late to make the correction, that the re ported murder of Miss Goodson, iu Chesterfield, was false, aud was put in circulation by some malicious per son.

Laferty, one of the most proniinet Methodist ministers of Vir ginia, will deliver his famous lecture, “Luck and Pluck” in Darlington, on the evening of March the 20th, and We are authorized to state that the managers of the Opera House have arranged to have it fixed up,! all who have any appreciation of hu- und to change the doors so as to mor, and we pity the man who has make them open on the outside. The' not, ought by all means to attend, building is very strong, and with Dr. laiferty is a famous humorist, these changes made, will be as safe and it is said that he can even make It is due to Mr. McCall to say his management of the farm was excellent in every respect, and his experiments were conducted more satisfactorily than those at either of the other stations, and if we mistake not at less expense. The proceeds of the sale will go to the Clemson Col lege. The experiments up there won’t be of much benefit to our peo ple, but we won’t worry about it or get the least bit jealous of our up country friends. The fact of the business is, that the Clemson Collego Professors might get some lessons, about the practical management of a farm, from some of our formers, es pecially when it comes to cultivating our great staple, for if there is any place where a Darlington county far mer feels perfectly at home, it is in a cotton field. The Cost of an Ice Factory. As so many cities and towns are now using artificial instead of natural ice, it may prove to be of interest to know what will be the cost of an ice factory, and show how favorably Darlington is situated for such an enterprice. The figures we give are copied from the Florence Times, and were furnished by Mr. Stickney, who claims that his calcu lations are correct PLANT. One (1) ten ton ice machine $13,500 00 Onc (1) building 1,000 00 Real Estate 1,000 00 A Young Men’s Christian Asserla- tion for Darlington. We take pleasure in announcing that Mr. Wynne, the State Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation, will visit Darlington some time during the present month, for the purpose of organizing an associa tion here; and we sincerely trust that his efforts may be crowiied with; suc cess. There can be no question us to the very great good they are doing; and they deserve the sympathy and support of all good people. These associations are in no wise intended to usurp the place of the churches, but to assist them in a work which they cannot at all times reach. Some towns, much smaller than Darling ton, have flourishing associations, and there is no reason why we should not have a large one at this place; for we undoubtedly have a very large num ber of young men in our midst, and it is clearly a duty, we owe both to ourselves and to them, to do every thing possible for their moral wel fare. A great many evil influences are at work to lead them astray, and it is of paramount importance that we should do something to counter^ act these influences. Since ihc above was in type we learn that the association in Spartan burg contemplate securing the ser vices of an evangelist, with a view to holding revival services under the the auspices of the association; and we merely call attention to this in order to express our dissent* Strictly religious services can be best conduc ted by the churches, and their accre dited ministers, and associations of this character, would do better if they confined themselves to their legitimate work, and left revival meetings where they belong, in the hands of the church. The same ex*-"' periment was tried twelve or fifteen years ago, and the result was to with draw from the association the sym pathy and active support of some of its best friends; prominent among these being Dr. Porter, one of the most prominent Episcopal ministers in the State; and he was undoubtedly right. With these associations tak ing charge of revival meetings, and the rapid increase of all kinds of so cieties for the promotion of some specific work; it is rather difficult to see where the churches come in. The tendency of it all is to injure the pestige and influence of the church without any gain that could possibly compensate for the injury they un- puestionukly do iu this way.
