Mr. V. A. Wood;', of Marion, spent
Tuesday in town.
Suggs & llatchel are
pre]>ared to
deliver lumber of all dimensiuiis.
We will publish the report of the
Grand Jury in our next issue. It
will be presented after this weeks
paper is out.
The Chief of Police was on duty
from noontime Saturday until Mon
day morning, and did not have one
minutes sleep during the time.
The C., S. & N. It. H. has placed
through tickets on sale at Darling
ton to principal cities North. Full
schedule will be published next week
Mr. J. ('. White was one of the
heaviest losers by the tire, but helm
ordered a new set of tools and will,
in a few days, be ready to do any
thing in the line of tin work.
Mr. Mertz. is in his new store and
can serve his customers with every
thing in the fruit and grocery line.
He has plenty of room now and will
keep a larger stock than ever.
Col. Averill, accompanied by his
son and daughter, and Miss Morris,
of Columbia, came over on Tuesday
in his private car. The youngladies
will remain over fora few days.
Dr. J. A. Boyd can be found at the
furniture store of J. D. Haynsworth
and as his prescript ion case was saved,
he can attend to business in this line.
Stock will be immediately replenish
ed.
We call special attention to the
advertisement of Mr. A. J. Broom.
He realizes the fact that momy is
scarce and is prepared to offer you
bargains in groceries and general
merchandize.
The people of Darlington have the
sincere sympathy of the whole State
in view of the tire which visited their
pretty and progressive town on Sat-
urdy night, and which is said to be
the greatest disaster it has ever
suffered.
The loss comes, of course, at a
particularly bad time, as every in
terest in the State is feeling the ef
fects of the low price of cotton and
consequent scarcity of money, but
Darlington could probably stand
such a fire as well as any town in the j
State, if there is any comfort in that'
reflection. It has grown remarkably |
in recent years and has a prosperous
future before it. The burnt district
will be rebuilt at once, no doubt,
and the “wooden buildings,” which
caused the loss in this instance have
disappeared forever. Brick blocks |j
will take their place.—News and
Courier.

On Saturday night, about half
past nine o’clock, the roof of the J.
| F. Early store took lire from a spark,
and in an incredibly short space of
time the whole building was in a
blaze. The engine was brought out
as soon as possible, but the heat was,
so great, that it was impossible to

any way. She was tenderly lifted
and removed to the residence of Mrs.
Sanders where she was kindly eared
for. Her house, fortunately, was
not burred but the danger seemed so
I • •
imminent that it was nothing hut
right, that she should be moved. In
! all our experience we have never seen
a lire fought with so much coolness
and judgment and hut for this the
loss would have been twice or three
times as great. Taking the magni
tude of the lire and the high wind
into consideration, blowing in the di
rection it did, it is n wonder that the'
lire was stopped until there was
nothing for it to feed on. Our Flor

views as to the political situation, and
os to the course that the conservative
people of the State should pursue.
Never before perhaps in I he history
of South Carolina has it been so im
portant as now for the people to be
conservative in all that they may sav
or do in political matters. For never
before have the white people been so
divided in sentiment and separated
into factious by internal dissensions, i
'Pile con tin nation of this condition !
will necessarily tend to drive them'
further apart, and will prevent their
co-operation for the good of the
State.
I have no axe to grind, nor have 1
any personal n rongs to avenge. I
opposed the election of (lovenior
Tillman in the lust campaign with
all the earnestness of my nature be
cause 1 believed tin' lie should be!
defeated. 'Pile people, however, de
cided otherwise and lie was triuiii-
phuully elected. Those who op
posed Ids election were naturally sore
over (heir disappointment, and a
large number of them arc still dis-j
satisfied. But under our system of
government the majority must rulej
and the minority must submit. 'Phe'
more quietly and gracefully that they
yield to the will of the majority the!
be',ter it for ail concerned.
Governor Tiibn m has been many
times condemned for his unjust
criticism or others, and unjust criti
cism of him by his opponents will
not injure him, hut will tend to his
advantage. if it was wrong in him
to slander others when he was a can
didate, it is simply wrong in others
to slander him while he is Governor.
Let his former opponents deal just
ly uith him ami give him due credit
for al! that he may do or try to do
forthe good of the State. That he
1ms done many things Dial are to he;
commended none can deny; that he
has done some things that might he,
condemned all wilt admit, but any
Juan in his position and with Ids sur
roundings would he liabl' 1 to make

Then I would suggest to the Anti-
