Co- 'A- Ti DARLINGTON HERALD W. D. WOODS, ) T. J. DREW. .,i-) EDITORS . AND rilOPKIBTORH. DARLINGTON, S. C. Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1892 Hev. Win. Hrad ley, of Sumter, coudneted tlie services at the I’rcshy- teriun Church Sunday morning and niffht. We are sorry to learn that, since the burning of his house, Maj. Lucas, owing to the heat and over exertion, has been quite sick, hut trust he will soon be in his usual health. The Lindley Dramatic Company, who arc giving a series of entertain ments in the Opera I louse, are ac companied bv a large St. Bernard dog that weighs 155 pounds and is only two years ora. In another column ' will lie found the proclamation of the (Jovernoi nffer : ng a reward of seventy-five dol lars for the a Test of George Moody. It is very much to lie hoped that somebody will earn this money. Ttie manager of the Opera House requests us to intimate that he has secured the “Hi Tom Waters Min strels” (10 in number) for Monday evening the 22ud February. Re served seats 75 cents; tickets now on sale at Bristow’s Book Store. Read the announcement of the new barber in this issue. Mr. Her ring has sold out his business in Florence and will move his family to Darlington this week. Among other things he has ordered for his shop here is a new “Climax” chair. His shop will be first class in all respects. The campaign will soon open, and the time is near at hand for candi dates to announce themselves or have it done by their friends. Every nomination must be paid for in ad vance, and no name will appear until payment is made. The charge is :*vi for each candidate, and his name will appear in the paper until after the election. If you want to ruii for some office, just be candid and let the lieople kjib,w it. The following subject will be dis cussed at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on Sunday afternoon: “I am among you as he that seweth,” John 13:1-17. Wc again call upon those of our subscribers who are in arrears to come forward and settle up. If you can’t scare up the money, we will take it in almost any kind of farm produce, corn, oats, peas, &e., that wc can dispose of. There is absolutely no room for retrenchment in con ducting a paper, and the outlay, for getting it up, is a very steady one, and we need every dollar that is due us. It is simply impossible for ns to call upon each individual subscriber, and so we must beg them to come forward voluntarily and pay their subscriptions. Willie Jones, a colored boy, claim ing Florence as his home, but who has been loafing afonnd Darlington for some lime past, was arrested last Friday on the charge of chicken stealing. From w hat we can learn it seems that he has been trafficking in the poultry business quite suc cessfully. He claimed to have been selling “for a'niau in the country,” aud all one had to do was to inform him (Jones) of the number of chick ens or tnrkeys they wanted and the order was promptly filled Chief of Police Dargan found out that “a man.from the country” was not fur- ni^jiig the poultry, hence Jones's ri&st. We are truly glad to announce that Rev. John Stout, of Society Hill, has accepted the call of the Baptist Church at this place, and will soon enter on the discharge of the duties of the position. Mr. Stout is no stranger in Darlington, and when he arrives it will be to find himself long friends. There is not a bet ter man or more devoted pastor in the State, than the subject of this notice, and in saying this we only express the sentiments of every one who has had the opportunity of be coming acquainted with him in the pastoral relation. We congratulate our Baptist friends on their good fortune in securing, for their pastor, such a man as Mr. Stout. Since the above was in type we learn that Mr. Stout w ill not take charge of his new work until about the 1st of April. We call special attention to, the advertisement of the Darlington Phosphate Works in reference to ex WEDIHIMl AT BELTOA. changing fertilizers for cotton. This is a very fair arrangement for all parties, and besides, this, those who purchase their fertilisers at home have a giuyraytcclhat they are get ting the value bf their money. The Works are. here and it is to the in terest of those who ow;ii the plant to mike a reputation on w hat they sell, a id thev are su;e to do it. The Harry I judl -y Company ap peared in the ()] era House, on Mon day and Tuesday nights. They were greeted w ith a large audience each night. This evening they will pro duce the elegant society play :cutitltd “Divorce.” 0|i Thursday afternoon at 3:30 cfcloek, little Mabel will give a matints;*,of “tattle Lord Fauntic- roy,” when the prices will lie I5cts. for children and 25 cU. 'for adults. The Company will terminate its en gagement on Thursday night with the great drama, “My Partner.” So far as we can gather there will be about one-third as much fertilizers used this year as there was last sea son, that is judging by the quantities that has been sold up to date, com pared with that of last year. There can be n fquestion as to the profit derived from the use of fertilizers, but then it must lie done judiciously, for it. is pretty certain that our farm ers, many of them, have gone too far in this way, and paid too little attention to gathering upa 1 good many things, that if utilized, would he a considerable help. Despite the hard tithes there is still a gbdtt dpi] of bailing goinif on and the work in this line will probably continue through the Spring and Summer. Mr. W. M. Ilayns- worth has two cottages, on the West side of the Academy Green, under way, which will be very hear, and at tractive when finished.’ Sam Keith, the champion liouse mover, is moving Mr. Weiiiberg’s l ouse from its pres- e it locution, on Pearl street, to make room for two- brick stores. Air. Willis's house is being pushed for ward and tlie frame is about com pleted. Marriage of Mr. W. J. Noorhrad to Miss ftannie Cox. * Bflton, Feb. 10—Air. Wm. J. Moorhead, of Darlington, and Miss Nannie L. Cox, of Belton, were united in marriage this morning, in the Baptist church. The ceremony was performed at 10 o’clock, by Dr. Charles .Manly, of Greenville, in the presence of many friends and ac quaintances of the bride and groom. The attendants were: Judge W. F. Cox, of Anderson, and Miss Eva Hbringer; AV. A. Clement aud Miss Georgia Ale David; J. I). Campbell, of Spartanburg, and Mms Mollie Geer; I). A. Geer and Miss Rosa Poore; L. A. Brock, of Honea Path, and Aliss Anna Chnkscales; E. T. Brea- zeale and Aliss Lucy Ganibrell. The ushers were Beattie Gossett, of An derson, and John Brock, of Honea Path. The organist was Aliss Znla Brock, of Honea Path. The bridal couple left on the morning train for their home in Darlington where the groom is a prominent young business man. The bride is the yourgest daughter of Maj. G. W. Cox, of this place, and is a young lady yf many graces of person and character.—Cor. St itc. Another Testimonial. In our last issue, mention was made of “The People's Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge,” which is sold by the Alartin and Hoyt Publishing Co., of Charleston, 8. C. Read the following testimonial from the worthy 8upt. of our Public School: It is not my custom to Write recommendations, but I cheerfully make an exception in favor of the “rtmdc’s Cyclopedia” After examining specimen pages, 1 can say that of all the Cyclopedias that I have seen, I regard this, the best for the busy man and for -Hie school.

The farmers in this section wi not use more than one-third of the commercial fertilizers this year that they did last, owi \g to the 'ow price of cotton. A great many more oats are plant ed this season than last year, and they arc looking fine. The Calvin Rhodes Alliance is in a more flourishing condition that it has ever been since its organization. The farmers arc not asleep and they mean business next No-ember when the polls arc open, and don’t you for get it. Editor Herald: Congressman Harter, anew Demo cratic member from Ohio, undertook early in tbe session the job of run- ning the finaucial legislation of that end of Congress. After calling every one dishonest or idiotic who favored tree coinage, and predicting the most dire calamities to (I c Dem ocratic party in case free coinage should become a law, he worked him self up to believe that he had really bulldozed and put to llrght the f’iends of free silver.

I'. this hallucination, he assumed the responsibility of calling a caucus ujion the question, even going so far in his self-asserted authority as to dictate w ho should not attend. Thi.- was about the limit to which hit young and swelling greatness was permitted to expand. The bubble of self-importance which this ver dant law maker had made for him self was pricked .by some of the old and tried friends of silver, and il collapsed. Mr. Bland, when told of the decision to abandon the propos ed caucus, and Mr. Harter’s reasons therefor, said “Mr. Harter is the chief promoter of the ciiucusT He has ascertained to his satisfaction that the Democratic party cannot tic bulldozed by the the National bankers nor the,money power of this country, and that if a caucus was called he would be in a woeful mi nority. Democrats understand that wc are not preparing to build a na tional platform here, hut simply,to. oarry out the pledges to our people. Four-fifths of the Democrats .i\;ho come here come pledged to free sil ver. Instead of there being a charge. against the free coinage bill the charges are all the other way... .The party secs now that if wedo not pass a free silver bill wc will be stultify ing ourselves and our records in the last Congress—that we will be acting the part of cowards. The Republi can party will charge that we are incompetent-to pass legislation that we were sent here to pass, that they (the Republicans) had the eouritgeto pass a bill giving free coinage to nca-ly all the American product. The Republicans would step in as the friends of silver and defeat Demo cratic members in enough Congres sional districts to give the Republi cans control of the House. The Democratic party in 1888 ignored the silver question m the interest of Mr. Cleveland, who was known to he hostile to silver and whose adminis tration had been against it. The Republican party, in their platform at Chicago, denounced Air. Cleve land’s administration for its hostility to silver. They courageously an nounced themselves .as the friends of silver and beat Air. Cleveland iii his own 8tute, so that w hat the.Demo- crats got by cowardice on this ques tion was the loss of the Presides-y and the loss of the House of Repre sentatives. They were driven from power. If they again act the part of duplicity on the question and permit the Republicans to again stcp^ui, front of them, they will loose not only the Presidency, but beyond all question the House of Represent^; tives, whjch is the most important bjdy. This House will pass a free coinage hill, and the country caii rest assured of that.” * * * PREMIUMS OFFERED For the Largest and Second Largo Yields of Cotton on One Arre —List of Contestants for , -,. 1891—Rules for 189?.
