items of Interest Gathered Here
and Thcrcand Itriefly Noted,
The only matter of importance be
fore the court is the trial of Will
Thomas for the murder of his step
father, Hater Thomas. The prisenor
iis represented by K. Keith Dargan,
Esq. The Floyd case has been jiost-
]toned until the next term of court.
Prof. W. J. Alexander, who was
•the pastor of the Ihijgist church for
four years, but who lias for the past
light years been a professor in the
.South Carolina College, hi now in
town, and w ill remain for some davs
among his former friends and tic-
fipiaintances.
Kev. II. C. Du Hose, who entered
the ministry from the Darlington
Presbyterian church, was in town
last week. He has been a missionary
to China for nearly twenty years, and
will return to his work in September.
His friends and relatives here are
very much gratified at the success
that is attending his efforts in China.
The electric lights vere not dis
turbed by Un lightning on Friday
night, but shone out brightly through
out the whole night. One or two of
them were out of order from other
causes. The eliciricity invaded the
building, but did no damage.
In the memory of the oldest in
habitants there has never been such
a grand and terrible display of elec
trieity as there was on Friday night.
The Hashes were almost continuous,
and the lightning assumed every
immaginable shape. It looked as if
some giant hand was launching
forth.

There will be two tine games of
base ball on next Tuerday and Wed
nesday June 16th and J7th, between
The Darlington Club and The Da
vids, of Charleston. There will be
fine sport for lovers of national
game. Admission: men, 25,:; J.adies;
10c; Boys, 10c. Tickets for sale at
Bristow’s Book Store.
One of the out buildings at the
residence of Mr. W. F. Dargan caught
lire on Friday night, just after the
storm, and was, with all its contents,
(Entirely consumed. The fire was
caused by the heavy wind blowing
the door open, and scattering some
hot ashes over the floor. The house
can be replaced for about sixty dol
lars. Jim Douglass, a very worthy
colored man, who occupied the house,
lost everything he had, as nothing
was saved from the building.
We return thanks for an invita
tion to attend a fourth of July cele
bration at Cheraw, ;md w ill, if noth
ing unforeseen occurs, surely be on
hand. The jieopk of this charming
and historic old town make a point
of observing this day, and it would
be well if their patriotic example
were followed by every town in the
.State. There will be several mili
tary companies in the procession, and
there will also be a competitive drill
and a prize presented to the best
drilled company. Can’t the Darling
ton Guards secure this prize? As the
fourth falls on Saturday, the celebra
tion will be on Friday the third.

The Guards Entertainment.
The entertainment given on Thurs
day night for the benefit of the
Guards was remarkably good, and
piet the most sanguine ex]K>ctations
pf its managers. The main part of
the entertainment was the presenta
tion of the “liutledge Guards,” and
and it is but just to say that thc
charactcrs were all well sustained,
and the umatuers won a great deal
of praisO from the jnofessional ac-
Bince it is now a well-established
fact that catarrh is a blood disease,

result, in nearly .every instance, proves
the wisdom of their advice.
T* the Sunday Sdioll Workers of
The State.
In obedience to the call of the
executive committee of the State
Sunday School Association, I again
take up the Missionary work of this
Association. As its representative, 1
am sent forth to co-operate w ith you
in promoting the efficiency of the
organizations wherever existing, and
in extending the work wherever
necessary. Praying for the guidance
of the Divine Spirit, I address my
self to the task assigned me. I con
fidently expect the heariv sympathy,
the earnest prayers, and the generous
assistance of Christians of every
name. The magnitude of the inter
ests involved in the Sunday School
work of to-day calls for our best ef
forts.
And now brethren, “to the work.”

Terrific Hail Storm.
The most destructive hail storm
that has ever been known in this
part .of the country passed over a
jiart of Darlington and Florence
Comities on Friday night, and the
damage to crops will amount lo a
good many thousand dollars. The
day had been intensely warm, and
about dark the clouds had assumed
a very threatening aspect, and very
clearly indicated a storm. About ‘J
o’clock the. rain commenced falling
i» torrents, and the downpour was
very steady for about one hour and
a half. There was some hail, but
not enough to do any damage. The
wind also was very high. The centre
of the hail storm was from three to
four miles below town, and some of
our farmers had their crops literally
ruined. Mr. D. M. Smoot brought
to town a stalk each of corn, cotton
and tobacco, and a head of cabbage
from his garden. They were literally
stripjH'd, and some of the large corn
stalks were entirely cu f down by the
hail. Some of the stones were fully
as large as turkey eggs, and certain
ly would have killed any one unfor
tunate enough to have been exposed
to its fury. Gen. James’s house In s
a tin roof and the tju was cut in a
number of places by the hail stones.
At 12 o’clock the next day the stones
were heaped up in the ditches on Mr.
l{. B. Nettles’s jdace.
The greatest loss will be in tobacco
there being j)robably about one hun
dred acres destroyeu. Of course it
will sprout out again from the stalk,
but will be in ferior both in quality
and quantity. A good deal of corn
will have to be planted over. If the
season is good there is time for it to
mature before frost. The cotton
will also sprout from the stalk, but
of course, oven under the most favor-
able conditions as to weather etc,
will not make more than half a crop.
Below we give a partial list of the
principal sufferers:
Robt. Wilds, Stepney Melver, Clar
ence Smoot, J. J. James, W. E.
James, O. H. and J. H. Edwards, J.
G, Winters, Mrs. S, L. Truluck, D.
M, Smoot, E. G. Jeffords, Robert
Nettles, J. Douyhen, Caleb Boone
and J. J. Gandy, and a large num
ber in the Ebenezer section.
voice is not very strong but ekv.raiul
penetrating, and tin* part of the
Audience on the back scats have no
trouble in hearing him. ’I’he re are
two services each day, morning send
night. The morning service is from
11 to 12 o’clock and is devoted to
Bible reading, and Mr. Pearson’s
familiarity w ith the Bible makes the
service both pleasant and profitable.
At night there is a song and prayer -
service lasling from 8 to half jmst 8
o’clock, after which the regular ser
vice begins. Mr. Pearson requsted
the people to be prompt in their
attendance, and his request has been
complied with Ly almost every one.
It is very gratifying to jiote that, at
his earnest request nearly all the
stores have closed from 11 to 12
o’eloek in order that the merchants
and clerks might have the opportuni
ty of attending the morning service.
This closing is all the more commen
dable in the merchants when it is
remembered that this is court week,
and of course necessitates the atten
dance of a great many people in town.
We will speak more fully of the
meeting and its effects in our next
issue. Below we give a list of the
stores that close for the morning ser
vice:

The Pearson meeting.
According to previous announce-

first time on Sunday morning, and
his sermon made a very deep imjires-
sion on the very large congregation
assembled to bear him. The services
were held in the Baptist church, and
the seating capacity of the church
was taxed to its utmost. The com
mittee of arrangements, Messrs. Lide,
Parrott and McFall, had everything
systematically arranged and the
large audience were seated without
any confusion.
The text in the morning was from
the 2nd chapter and 24 verse of the
Ejiistle of James, and at night from
the <ith chapter and 7tli verse of
Galatians. Mr. Pearson is a very
pleasant speaker, and Ids style is
simple and pointed. There is noth
ing the least bit sensational in his
language; presenting in this respect
a marked contrast to the average
evangelist. He adheres closely to
his text, and Ids elucidation of it is
