The first train on the C. S. & N. Rail road arrived in Darlington be- ■twoen eleven and -twelve o’c'ock on Thursday and met with a very en thusiastic reception. ’The road has been accepted by the Railroad com missioners to this point, and is now ready to handle freight Passengers will also be carried, but a through passenger train to Charleston will not be put on until the line is finished to Bennettsville. Protect the Trees. Those annoying pests, the cater- pillus, have made their appearance, and unless something is done to cheek their ravages, will soon strip our beautiful trees of their foliage. The best way to destroy them is to take a light pole, fasten a long nail in the small end, and on this tie a handful of cotton with a piece of wire. .Soak the cotton in kerosene oil and when set on fire will make plenty of heat to kill them without injuring the trees. Hold the torch under where they are congregated long enough to kill them, and if a few twigs are scorehted the damage will be trifiling compared with what the caterpillers will do if let alone. could very easily be obviated. One ear jy -closing is the inconsiderate way a great many people have of waiting until the closing hour and then rush ing'in to the stores. A little fore thought would very - easily enable them them to avoid this. The mer chants are not exacting but of conrse must fake care of their interests. Let their customers sustain them in giving this much noeded recreation to their clerks; and there will be no loss or trouble about tbe matter. If the ladies will do their shopping in the morning, the matter will be easi ly arranged. at Railroad Accident at Florence. AVhat came very near being a ser- rious accident occurred at Florence on Thursday night. The C. & 1). train was being pulled out by a switch engine, when the first class coach came into collision with a box car that had been left too near the main track. Fortunately the train was moving slowly or there would have been a number of lives lost. As his ; it was the shock was very severe, and a good many of the glass in the car were broken, and pieces of glass and splinters of wood were scattered all over the car, the end of the box car was torn off and the passenger coach Many people who pride fhemselves | had one eml considerably damaged, There was u base ball association organized on last Friday night, and the lovers of the game can depend on seeing some good games during the season.

The exercises were closed with the benediction' by the Rev. Stewart Mc Queen Rector of the Episcopal Church. /’he crowd was large, but the lav ish hospitality of Georgetown was equal to the emergency; a hospitality as freely extended as they were won’t to exhibit in the golden days of the past, when wealth and prosperity smiled upon them them. The Confederate Monument Georgetown. This beautiful monument was un- vieled on Thursday the 30th, and the ceremonies attending it were in ad mirable taste, and were deeply im pressive. The people of Georgetown had spared no pains or expense in the preparation, and they have every reason "to congratulate themselves upon Its success. The monument is admirably proportioned and is crown ed by the figure of a confederate soldier. It was erected by the mem bers of Company A. the Georgetown Rifle Guard, of the famous 10th Regiment, and the citizens of the town in memory of the members of this command, and contains the names of the members of Co. A. both living and dead. This company was the pride and pet of Georgetown, and South Carolina furnished no better command to the confederate armies, and on many blood stained fields they nobly upheld the honor of their State, and poured out their blood a willing sacrifice on their country’s altar. They were worthy descendents of the men who rode with Marion, and who, in the darkest period of the Revolution, followed with unflinch ing courage the banner of thoir dauntless leader. A large stand had been erected near the monument, and there was ample room for the different committees and invited guests. The assemblage was very Hand in Your Name. We again beg the old subscribers of the paper to conic forward and give us their names and date of their subscriptions. Tbe paper will carry out all contracts existing before the fire, but as the books were hurt we are obliged to call on subscibers to help us straighten matters up. A Little Girl’s Experience In A Lighthouse. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott .are keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Suud Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with Measles, followed with a dreadful cough and turning into u fever. Doc tors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she. was a mere “hand ful of bones”.—Then she tried Dr. Kings New Discovery and after tbe use of the two and a half bottles, was completely cured.

In England, in 1593, an Act of Parliament was passed enacting that any person above sixteen years of age, neglecting for one month to at tend divine service should be sent to prison. If this law were in operation now, our jails would have to be a great deal larger than they are at present, and they would shelter some pretty prominent people. Marriages.

The train from Charleston, due at Florence at 8:30 was delayed about one hour on Friday night The de lay was caused by something giving away about the engine just about one mile from Florence. Another loco motive was promptly sent down, and -the train brought up to the station. The rolling stock of the Coast Line is always kept in tirst class order, but mishaps of this kind are often unavoidable. The wonder is that there ait? not more of them. The Y. M. (’. A.

The Early Closing Movement. Quite a number of the towns in the State have inaugurated a move ment for the early closing of the stores during the Summer months, and in would be an act of kindness on the part of our merchants to afford their clerks a little rest in this way. Owing to the very heavy business during the Fall and Winter months, and also in the Spring, the work has been very heavy, and no class of men, take them as a whole, are more faith ful to the interests of their employees, than the clerks. Of course the in- terels and convenience of the custo mers must also be considered, and it would be hardly practicable to close us early as six o’clock or to com mence as early us the first of the present month. We take the liberty of suggesting that the movement be gin on the first of June and continue to the 20th of August, and that the time be half past six. Some of the clerks go to the stores at sun-rise and remain until nine or ten o’clock at night This keeps them on duty for fifteen hours, and only leaves nine hours for sleep and recreation. This is simply a hardship whu h The address was admirable in every respect, and we regret that we have not space to publish it in full. The speaker was a participant in the bat tles of which he spoke, and his allu sions to them stirred the hearts of those present to their profoundest depths. We give the concluding sentences of this eloquent address. To-day we surround this memorial of their struggles and sacrifices—a quarter of a century intervening be tween us and them, all bitterness gone from onr hearts, the new life, and wor,k and energy, and hope of a generation which has come to succeed them animating our spirits and the old love we bore onr great country, claiming once more our loyalty and our devotion, and we ask, did our brothers die in vain? Was their fall a needless sacrifice? Will their coun trymen forget them? No, answers this monument. No! Come here and read the legend of their valor and their faith! Come here as to a shrine of purest patriotism and “sanctify your memories, purify your hopes, make strong all good intent by com munion with the spirits of heroes who, being dead, yet speak to us.” Aye, and they will come! Come on memorial days, with garlands and roses, and wreaths of sweetest flowers! Come when the faithful hands and hearts that labored and prayed to build this monument have joined the soldier in his rest! Come when a hundred years have past, and when future generations lood back for ex amples on which to rest tlreir claim for courage, and high achievnient, and exalted sacrifice! Yes, time may wear away these stones and this monument may not last a thousand years, but the memory of the Con federate soldier is immortal, the re el rd of his valor is indestructible. ****** The patriot's heart is one! Ages do not char ge it. The sildier of the Confederacy speaks its langi aje ai d illustrates ns spirit in the veiy wo;da and dteds of the soldier of 'i hermo- py as, and so dear to the human heart is the exhibition of a true sac rifice, so inspirii g and h.dpful is the spirit and exampie or resolute outr age. and so gonu ne the 1 o iiuge n an- kind pays to the devitiou of the patriot and the hero, that more than 7th, 1891, at 12 m.
