Mieses Lou Miller and Barbara Par rott, of this County, attended the re cent session of the W. C T. U , which was held in Kumter. Messrs.

There will be a refreshment car, in charge of Mr. Lamottc, oil the Ex cursion train next Monday, and every thing will be sold at reasonable prices. This will obviate the neces sity of carrying lunch.

The Major is, as will be seen by his card, a candidate for Congress, and has recieved a great many assurances of support. At the last meeting of Rogers Di vision No. 3, U. R.

We very much regret that we had nyiietifiqilioafcf the' timc of celebra ting ‘•Children’s Day” St Bethel, and but for this The Herald would have been represented,and would have contained a full report of the occa sion. The programme was very success fully carried out; the children recit ing their pieces in an admirable way. A very bountiful dinner, just such as the Swift Creek folks know how to give, was served, to which every body was invited. Graded Sr heal Teachers. At a recent meeting of the School Trustees, the following teachers were elected for the ensuing term; St. John—Miss Winton Parks, Miss M. E. Falls, Miss Julia Lide, Miss E. W. McLean, Miss Claude Ed wards, Mr. L.*C. Glen, Principal. Mayo—Mis. F. B. Nixon. Miss Miss Carrie E. Steele, Miss E. W. DeWese, Thos. L. Cotton, Principal. It was decided to reopen the school at the Factory, and a teacher will be provided. Mr. Wardlaw was unanimously elected Supt of both schools. Childrea’s Day at Cypress. There were over one thousand jieo- pleat Cypress Church on Saturday to witness the celebration of “Chil dren’s Day.” Everything passed off smoothly, and the whole programme was carried out, not only to the credit af the little folks, but very much to the pleasure of the large congregation who had assembled to enjoy the day. The Church could not hold half of the people despite the fact that it was crowded to its utmost capacity. The Cypress folks are noted for their hospitality, and of course it was extended on this occasion. Meetiig ®f the Darliigton Agricul tural Society. The annual meeting of the Darling ton Agricultural Society will be held at the Fair Grounds on Tuesday, the nth of August, next. The following committees will report: 1. Diversified Crops—E. Mclver Will liamson, Chairman; members, J. J. Lu cas, J. W. Beuseley,. J. J. Ward, Lucas McIntosh, E. L. Gray. a. Is Hog liaising Profitable?—E. It. Mclver, Chirman; members, E. E. Evans, J. J. Lawton, T. J. Bell, J. A. Smoot. Prof. Massey, of North Carolina Ex perimental Station, and President Strode, of Clcmsou College, will lecture before the Society. W. H. Evans, W. E James, President Secretary. We regret to announce that the Rev. Mr. Law. the pastor of the Pres byterian Chnrch, is still quite sick, bnt is slowly improving. It will be •ome time before he will be able to resume his dntiss. The whole com- munity have sympathized very deep ly with him and trnst that he may soon be in his usual health. Mr. Willeford, of Lamar, had the misfortune to lose his store and all his goods, by fire, on thenightof the 28th. His stock was valued, ht $4,- 600.00 on which there was insurance to the amount of $2,800.00. The fire hod made such progress when discovered that it was impossible to save anything. Several ether buildings were threat ened but were saved by hard work. Lunar is unfortunate atant fire and U is hoped that the merchants will erect brick stores in the future. The manager of the Opera House wishes to announce that he has secur ed the ceiebrafed Gruber Family of Musicians for Wednesday evening, 6th iiHtaut. Read what The State says of their performance in Colum bia, S. C.: “Prof. Gruber, and his musical family, nine persons In all, gave one of their “home concerts” in the opera Douse last night which was novel and nniqnein many respects, and gave considerable pleasaft to the audience. A genuine musical prodigy Is little Josic Gruber, only four years old. This pretty and attractive little Mbs has a woaderfnt voice for one so young, every nob* la'ing distinct and easily bwifd in every part of the house. Josie ennght fi e andi. nce at once and made every one feellike taking np the little lliing and caresing her, but lieing unable to do this, she was overwhelmed with applause, as she richly deserved. The vocal, as Well at th instrumenial selections, were all well rendered, and ^he concert, as a whole, was very pinch enjoyed.” The Guards Inspected. The Darlington Guards were in spected on Thursday by the Adjutant General, who complimented them very highly on their drill and ap pearance, and said that they hud very few rivals in the State, Col, Farley has made a good of- 6cer and has done everything in his jHivver to add to the efficiency of our voluntevr companies. They de serve and ought to receive more con sideration from the Legaslaturc, and more encouragement and sympathy from the people at large. Darlington is certainly prond of .the Guards, and appreciates very highly the kind words of Col. Farley, who, to say the least, ought to know what a good company is, as he is an old soldier and one of the bravest men that South Carolina furnished to the Con federate Army. T* Onr Subscribers. It would be of very material assis tance to us if our subscribers, who are in arrears, would come forward and settle up. The outlay, in con ducting a paper, is very large and there Is really no way of economizing even in the dullest season, except by reducing the size and having in con sequence less reading matter in it. We are doing everything in our power for the conservative ticket, and we feel no hesitation in saying that we ought to have the support of every man who opposes the present administration. • While thus announc ing our position, we vyish to assure our friends who aro honest in their support of Gov. Tillman, that they shall be treated w ith the utmost fair ness, and that the columns of The Herald arc open t< them, and while \v<5 will not publish articles that are personal in their nature, vve will gladly give them space to discuss any of the questions of the day. The paper is just as much at the service of our subscribers who oppose us po litically us to those who agree with ns, and if this is not fair, we con fess that wc don’t know the meaning of the word fairness. From a private source vve learn ! that the Conservatives did not turn ; out very strongly at the Colnmhja ; Campaign meeting, and that Gov. I Tillman’s supporters were in I he in,i- : jority. Of course this means very little,’but we mention the fart in or der to he fair and accurate. The meeting was a pretty noisy one, nut ; less turbulent than the one at Flor- j ence. We will go more into details I in onr next issue, the EitertalmenL The anlount realized by the enter tainment, in aid of the.Davis Monu ment Viind, was about $30.00. ! The following programme was car ried out: 1st—Song—Mr. C. D. Evans. 2d.—Bachelor’s Dream, the night before the wedding. The djfferent places that he saw in his dreatn were represented by the following young ladies: New York—Miss Bossie Williamson Tokio—Miss Lize Thompson. , Richmond—Miss Annie Williamson Boston—Miss Marie Lide. Bohemia—Miss May Ervin. Athens—Miss Sadie Dargan. Madnd—Miss Hattie Ervin. 3d.—Burlesque Song—Mr. Hugh Thompson. Part II—“Thconly man in Town.” Jedidia Brown—R. E. James. Matilda Dix—Miss Meta Williamson Rebecca Bamaby—Miss Marie Lide Fraucina Bamaby—Miss May Ervin Hannah Smith—Miss Annie Wil liamson. The programme was all nicely car ried out, ami the last piece was ex tremely well acted and produced a great deal of merriment. Miss Bessie Williamson’s singing, as it always does, was recieved with a great deal of applause. Tile instrumental music was ad mirably rendered by Mrs. Frank Pe- gues. Darlington Boys at The 8. €.

Coker, of Darlington, the first speaker, handled the subject, “South Carolina’s Need of Educa tion,” in a masterly manner. He culled attention to the fact that the South Carolina system was very l>oor; only senventy day’s schooling was the average in the year 1860. In but. three other States was the course so short. Lick of funds was the main cause. The jier capita tax was 41 cents less than in any other State. There should be a regular system; compulsory attendance should be made a feature, and teachers should get good salaries. Taxation should be the mainspring of the support of this system, the larger proportion being borne by the rich, because their interests would be in better security and society would bo elevated. He closed with an earnest appeal to the people to make the ground work of the common school system more perfect. Mr. E. T. Wilson’s essay on “The Value of Scientific Education” was one of the best papers of the day, and showed careful study and deep thought.—The State. Mrs. W. J. Woods and Mr.and |(i| S. A.
