As the case now stands there is nothing to pre vent it from causing an accident every night. As the Omnibus runs the most risk, it is but fair that its liberal and enterprising .owners should subscribe very liberally for this object. fonnty Alliance Meeting.

Members throughout the County will please observe change of date and urge all members of the order to attend. It is probable that both our State President and State Lecturer will be with us. Sub-Sec retaries will understand that all re ports and dues to the County Secre tary must be in by April the 1st, in order to have representation in the County Alliance.

A, To the Merchants and Business Men of Darlington, and (he Citizens of the County. The Herald projwses to use its utmost efforts to build up and devel op the resources of our town and county, and in order to do this suc cessfully asks the support of every one who has enterprise and patriot ism enough to make him wish to do something that benefits both himself The Floyd Trial. When the paper went to press last week the trial was not concluded The jury after remaining in the room for a long time, failed to agree, and made a iuis->trial. Of course this makes another trial necessary, and it is very earnestly hoped that the jury may he able to reach r de cision when the ease conies up for tlie second time. It is not our inten tion to pass judgement on the case, bnt simply to call attention to the fact that the killiu«' was a direct outcome of tlie gambling mania, and also to the great danger of similar tradegies in the future. We have stringent laws against gambling, but the trouble is that public opinion does not susta'ii their enforcement, and until it does, the law will lie practically worthless. Just as soon as drunkenness, gambling and carry ing concealed weapons, is considered disreputable, then and not till then, will there be any appreciable dimuni tion of these vices. It is not very pleasant to say it, bnt is true never theless, that the young man who drinks and gambles, as long as he keeps the appearance of respectabili ty, stands just about as well sociallv as the one who is a stranger whiskev and cards. i The Phoenix Furniture Company, OF CHARLESTON, S,:C. :- : Wholesale and' ‘ Furnimfoe f mporlum.

The school book question is one of vital interest, and if, us the Superin tendent Mr. Mayfield, supposes, our people have been paying too much for them, it is well that tlie matter should be looked into. It is well to move with caution in this matter, and it would be a costly and perhaps use less experiment for the State to pub lish its own schoolbooks. California has tried the experiment and here is what the Superintendent of Educa tion, of that State has to say about it: “The cost has been tremendous— over $400,000 for an edition of 50, and his section.

The Mayor has received a circular letter from the Centennial committee calling attention to the celebration, and requesting that Darlington take some part in it. A number of coun ties have sigdified their iiitcnti'ni to decorate arches, and it wont do for such a county as Darlington to be behind in a matter of this kind; fur nishing as it will a splendid opjxir- tiinity to call attention to our resour ces and advantages, to say nothing of our duty as patriots. As the time is short, May 13th, we take the liberty of suggesting that a public meeting be held at an early day, to take some action in regard to the matter. Our columns are open to suggestions per taining to the celebration, and we w ill do all in our power to help the cause. The town and county of Darlington can do as much as any county in the State. Let us be well represented. Sent iu a Petition. The Mayor President and Execu tive Committee of the Board of Trade have signed a petition to Hon. J. L. Bell, Second Assistent Postmaster 1 General, praying for more rapid triiiis])ortation of the mail to and from the Depot, and also calling at tention to the inadequate accommo dations at the jxwt office; whereby the dispatch of business is very seri ously retarded. The post master has also signed the petition, and there is every reason to hope that relief will be afforded; and that the wheel bar- book publishers have been compelled e *‘ to reduce the cost of their books. But now, the cost of books published by the State is more than superior' books could lie purchased for in the' open market, even without discount The books are inferior in matter, adaptability and execution. In short, they have little to commend them. The superintendents of the State, at their biennial convention held in this city on the second and third days of December; 1890, passed a strong reso lution of condemnation upon all of the ten now published except two. Whilst, as a State officer, it is my duty to see the law fully and faith fully carried out—the best way to make an objectionable law odious— honesty demands that, iu view of the vast appropriations, the wear and tear of the.plaut, the inferiority of f the books, and their greatercost than ’ Ixdter books could be bought for, I should advise any State against en tering upon an experiment of this nature.
