'THE DAELETi HERALD Kstahlished July 16th, 1890. i Destroyed by Fire December loth, 1890 Ke-Establishud February lltb, 1891. W. D. WOODS, Editor. DAltLlNGTON, 8. C. Wednesday, April 29, 1891. The Freeman is very unhappy be- , cause Sumter has no canning factory. If the editor/rf that paper will visit his okl homedn a short while from now, he can .see, a factory in opera tion, and will be allowed to carry off u few cans as a memento of his visit. We take thediberty of suggesting to the Pee Dec Argus that Sumter has no special interest in the exten sion of the C. S. & N. Railroad, and „ of course cannot reasonably be ex pected to take part in the celebrating the completion of this extension. . If there is anything done in this way, then DarUngton and Beunettsville are ,the .places interested, and ought to look after the matter. Surely the people of Beunettsville should feel like celebrating their commercial annexation to the balance of the State. AMERICAN CLAIMANTS TO ENG LISH ESTATES. A good many papers, whose editors ought to know better, are publishing accounts of the inheritance of an immense fortune in England, by a Georgia farmer by the name of Drake, i This does very well for a sensational item, but unfortunately for the truth of it, an alien is not allowed to inherit real estate in Great Britian, and then too the officials of the Bank of England have announces time and again that they are not the trustees or guardians of such estates. It is true that there is a considerable amount of money in the custody of the bank that is unclaimed, but it was placed there by a large number of individual depositors, and no large amount by any one person. Lead ing lawyers both in this country and Englaug have repeatedly warned peo ple from spending money in trying to secure fortunes that only exist in the immagination of a few lawyers who are either ignorant or unscrupu lous. NO THIRD PARTY. The very strenuous efforst made by some of the Western Alliance, to draw the Southern farmers into a third party movement, will hardly ■ Ujcct with much success, unless our, people are endowed with a much j ‘smaller degree of common sense than we give them credit for. Whatever of the Southern planter has to redress ( can l>e best brought about through the agency of the Democratic party, . and every suggestion, looking to his abandonment of a party to which he owes so much, should be met with a prompt and emphatic refusal. All true patriots will gladly hail the day when sectional animosity shall be! entirely put aside, and all sections of the country unite in doing everything calculated to build up the prosperity of this great Nation; but the time the stagnant water that is left after the water recedes in the run of the stream, and the action of the Sun on the water and decaying vegetation. There are a grrat many places in the swamp that hold water and are not connected with the stream at all. It is very far from our intention to make the impression that thyre is a great amoijnt of sickness from this cause, but that it is responsible for all the malarial complaints from which onf people guffcri lie one will deny; and if this be true, then it is certainly the part of wisdom to reme dy it, provided, which is very pro bably the case, it can be done for an outlay that the town can afford, and be kept in order by the expenditure of a few hundred dollars each year. It would be a great thing to be able to say that Darlington was entirely fiee from malaria; but leaving out the question of health, it would be no small factor in the growth and development of the town, and it is very probable that the place would, in the event of this work being done, ■become something of a health resort. A preliminary survey would cost very little, and we take the liberty of suggesting to the council that they lood into the matter and ascertain deffinitely as to its practicability and the probable cost of the work. We believe in economy, and would oppose any ill advised measure that would burden the town with debt, but this work will be in the direction of true economy, and our present authorities could hardly hit upon any improve ment where they would be so gener ally sustained by the public. • Mill! ■ . and Dress Making.
