Society Hill, July 16, 1892.— Total rainfall during July to date, 8.13 in. average. Maximum temper ature, 79.4°. Mrs. W. C. Wilson and family have returned from a visit to Che- raw. The Congressional race in this dis trict waxes warmer and wanner at present There are in sight the fol lowing candidates: Conservatives Lucas and Smith; Tillmanites— Tindall, Norton, Bigham, Evans and McLaurin. During the past week Mess; Lucas, Smith and Norton ni; speeches at Conway. The Major is repo.-ted to havs made a happy hit in a ten minutes speech; Jerry held his own, consuming one hour and thirty minutes. Norton confined himself to State issues. The West India fast mail train, which leaves Florence at half past one o’clock in the morning, was wrecked by a washout, just 5 miles below Florence on Sunday morning, and most of the cars were badly smashed. A colored man and the newsboy, white, were killed, and four passengers and the postal clerk and baggage faster were wounded. Two of tbe cars were so badly smashed that they are not worth saving and will be burned to get them out of the way. We make a final appeal to the peo ple to see to it that the Campaign meeting be conducted in the right way, that all the speakers, of both sides, be -heard and that there be no manifestations of disrespect towards any of the oandidates. Let us bear in mind that they are guests of the Town and County, and as such are entitled to our courtesy and respect. A man who is not willing to hear both sides is either a bigot or a sim pleton, and will be branded as such 1-y all fair minded people. The work of taking down and re moving the motive power of the Elec tric Light Works is under way and all of it will soon be shipped to Char lotte. The new machinery will be pnt in place as soon as possible. It is very probable that if the State bad a Governor who had any respect for the law, Mr. Cox, the cause of this loss to the company, would view the work of removal from the grated windows of the Cole House. Mr. Cox would like to vote for Governor Tillman if it were safe to veuture in the State, but there is no danger of his doing this. The work of fixing up the Square has commenced, and the ground will be thoroughly prepared to receive the grass seed bef >re it is time to plant Mr. R. L. Dargan is super intending the laying off, and has furnished the designs for the grass plots and walks. It will be a very attractive looking place when finish ed, and relieve the dull monotony of bare ground, and brick walks. There are to be several fountains and they will add very much to the beauty of the grounds. We hope that a park will be the next move on the part of our city fathers. There are some fine sites that can be had fora reismable price. The young ladies who have work ed so hard to raise money, for the Davis Monument Fund, have every reason to feel proud of their success. They rented the “Mery-Go-Bound” on Monday afternoon, and managed to clear about tweuty-five dollars. This added to tbe proceeds of the two entertainments, given at the Opera House, makes ninety two dol lars for the fund. When the hard times are taken into considesation. and the frequency of sim’lar enter tainments, for benevolent purposes, it was a remarkably good piece of work to raise so much money in so short a time, and that too in a fair i)|d business-like way. . A Pleasant Day at Oats. Tke County Alliance gave a very enjoyable picnic at Oats’ on Friday, which was attended by a large num ber of people, all of whom are very enthusiastic in their praise of the admirable way in which it was man aged. There was very little speak ing, which was perhaps wise under the circumstances. Rev. Mr. Gres ham made a speech in which he advo cated prohibition as the only solution, of the liquor question The crowd was vary large, but the utmost good order prevailed aud there was not a single unpleasant in cident to mar the pleasure of the day. From all we can gather the Alliance did not have a monopoly of the se cret session business, and so success fully were some of these secret meet ings conducted, th«t arrangments were perfected whereby a number of special alliances will be organized very soon. We wish to express, in this connection, our unqualified ap proval of combining the social fea ture with these meetings of the Al liance. The names of the parties that are to organize the alliances, to which we have alluded, will appear when the organization is cousumated. The Herald was represented at this gathering by the junior editor, Mr. T. J. Drew. lu connection with the meeting there was a display of agricultural porducts, furnished by some of our energetic farmers. Prohibitiuu, by Rev. G. T. Gresham.

C.: ‘ Dear Sin The course of study in the Winthrop Ndhnal College has been extended from one to two years. The scholarships have been likewise extended, but are forfeitable upon failure of the holders te meet the requirements of the College. Al though the course has been extended pupils will be permitted to enter the senior class and graduate in one year, if found prepared to do so. The $150 scholarship of your coun ty has been continued for next year to the young lady who won it lust year. Besides this scholarship your county is entitled to two other scholar ships for next year which are each worth “free tuition” with a right to the winners, in their order, to the $150 scholarship, should the holder thereof fail to avail herself of it. These two “free tuition” scholarships are to be awarded on a competitive examination to be held by your Coun ty Board of Examiners on the 5th day of August The questions wil' be sent to you in due time by Tres. D. B. Johnson and wi'l include Arithmetic, Gramm*-.;, Geography, United States History, Composition, Readirg, writing and Spelling.

We ask the assist ance of every true lover of his State in this effort to suppress the manu facture aud sale of intoxicating bev erages in South Carolina; but we are Democrats who believe most earnestly in the absolute necessity for the con tinuance of Democratic supremacy and who are pledged to support De mocracy first, last aud ill the time. If a man sees fit to support Mr. Sheppard for Governor, or Mr. Till man, he only exercises a right which prohibitionists do not question. Let him vote for whom he pleases for Governor. Our object is to suppress the manufacture and sale of intoxi cating beverages in a non-partisan way, and we come before ti e good people of Darlington County asking them to give us their hearty support in the primary election to be held August 30th, prox. By an agreement with the Demo cratic State Executive Committee a box will be placed at each voting place, in which the votes for and against prohibition will be deposited, to test the strength of the movement Its opponents will vote against pro hibition to a man. Its friends should be equally faith ful, both working and voting, so that our full strength may be known. If we would succeed, every man must do his whole duty. The second quotation recommends, “that the people demand that all candidates for the House and Senate place themselves on record on this question to the end that tbe prohibi tion votes of the county may be intel ligently cast” The Democratic State Executive Committee consents to our asking that question, and it will be put thus: “Will you, if elected, favor the passage of a law by the next Leg islature, to secure the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxi cating liquors in South Carolina?” If the answer is in the affirmative and we believe the applicant for of fice to be otherwise a suitable for the office, the prohibition should be cast for him at the mary. If he is opposed to prohibi tion, however much, we may respect him as a man, however conscientious we may believe him to be, te be true to onr principles, we must do all in our power to prevent his nomination. Let every candidate for the Legk- lature place himself on record on this question, and if men favorable to our views are not in the fight, see io it, friends, that suitable men— men of capicity—nun of a clear he gatherings anywhere in the coi ty at which wo can get the opjwrtun ity to advocate our principles. Pic nics are good places for such speeches. Our State Prohibition Executive Committee a*sks us for the modest sum of $-50 to assist in paying the expenses of the campaign. If each of our friends in the county will make a contribution, tbat amount will be raised without burdening anyone. A request or two: 1. Give your influence from this time until the primary and your vote at the primary for prohibition. 2. Don’t forget to send your contribution to the cam paign fund to me at Una, S. C., or to hand it to one of the following named committeemen: Rev. John S. Du Bose, A. C. Parrott, L. A Moore, C. W. Woo lham. Please don’t think we shall have enough money without you contribu tion. We shall need every cent we can get. Send the money at once. A-COMMQN CADE. — - A Certain Protalnent Maa and thn WlekaS Knporter. There’s a certain public man in Chi cago who has a habit of saying the next day after giving a reporter his opinion oH any matter: “iilame that young fellow, be wrote about four times as much as I told him.” The man has a partner—fat and jolly—who has heard the criticism so often when he thought it undeserved that he thought he’d lay a little snare for its author. He in structed the stenographer of the firm whose desk was very near that of the “certain publio man’s”—the next time a reporter came in to interview the o. p. m. she was to take down the entire conversation between them, and after ward make a typewritten copy of it and give it to him, the partner taking care that the c. p. m. didn' know anything about it. Nothing whatever was said to any reporter. One day last week in came the repre sentative of a paper and asked the p. m. what he matter.

Scarcely had the c. p. m. reached his office and laid aside his coat and hat when he burst forth: “You remember that reporter coming in here and inter viewing me yesterday?” “Guess so,” answered the partner. “Well, sir, he’s done just what I wish to Heaven I could get the reporters out of dolngl” “Yes? What’s that?” “Making a quarter of a column out of half a dozen or so little sentences I give them. How much would you think 1 said to that reporter yesterday?” “O, a few hundred words.” “Nonsense. Excuse me, but I know I didn't speak a hundred words of my opinion all told. You must remember that I chose my words very carefully and used few of them—surely, you will recall that I did so.” One of those half-sareastie, very plaguing smiles—to the other fellow- spread over the face of the fat, jolly partner as he took from a drawer Iq his desk a bnnch of type-written manu script Then he remarked: “Have you a moment to spare?” “Certainly," replied the c. p. m. with lamb-like Innocence. The partner proceeded to read a ver batim report of every word that had passed between the c. p. m. and the re porter. What pictures were to be seen on the features of that c. p. m.’s face may best be imagined. He is to be cred ited, however, with having heard the document read entirely through. When the partner had finished he said: “Now, Mr. , after eliminating all the remarks that are plainly irrele vant to the subject matter of the re porter’s call, and counting only those which'it is reasonably plain you want for publication, you will find that you spoke exactly 2,847 words, or nearly a column and a half of opinion to that reporter, and you say that he has put it all into a quarter of a column—about MO instead of 2,847 words!
