I. UDABTflllHEBALD DARLINGTON, S. Wednesday, August 3, 1892. The pulpit of the Baptist Church was filled by the former pastor Rer. G. B. moore. Mr. W. D. Lewiirbad the misfor tune to lose his tobacco barn on Fri day. The fire was accidental and the loss about $150.C0. Friend Smith, of the Enterprise Hotel, is having two reo.ns fitted up, and Dame Rumor says that a well known bachelor knows more about the matter than he is willing to ac knowledge. The ioe cream festival, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A., on Friday night, was very poorly attended, and the amount realised was small. The members of this organization with a few exceptions were conspic uous by tfieir absence. They don’t seem to patronize a festival for their own benefit Miss Lizzie Brearley, of Sumter, is visiting Mrs. B. 0. Law. There was a laflge aociable at Col. Mclrer’s on Monday night. Rev. W. S. Jacobs preached in the i’resbyterian Church on Sunday. The entertainment on Tuesday nil'll I f it the benefit of the Factory Band was a complete saecetw anh about thirty- live dollars was realized. The following nuiued persons have been suggested its being suitable to be vote! for at the approaching Demo cratlc Primary, to represent the people of Darlington County in the respective offices for which they arc named, sub ject to the result of the said primary election: FOR THE LEGISLATURE, E. T. Coker, E. O. Woods, 8. D. Harrell. TREASURER, J. E. Bass. AUDITOR, N. L. Harrell. CORONER, J. H. Kelly. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, J. E. Windham, A. A. Gandy, W. M. McKenzie. ’ ' Prof. W. F. Massey, of the North Carolina Agricultuta’ College will address the farmers at the meeting of the Darlington County Agricultu ral Society to be held on Tuesday 9th inst at the fair grounds. It will be a great treat to hear Prof. Massey and every farmer in the ctunty should attend the meeting. At the meeting of the Darlington Lodge, No. 259, I. O. G. T., on last Wednesday evening the following officers were elected: C, T., R. S. Willson; V. T., S. Frank Parrott; S. J. T., Mrs. E A. Gainey; L, D., A. F. Mixon; Sec., W. E. Harrell; F. S., B. F. Campion; Tree., Miss Bertha C. Bland; Mar., J. L. Parrott; Chap., J. S. Melton; G., Miss Rebecca Gainey; Sen., J. R. Eastridge; P. C. T., T. J. Drew; True., F. T. Biggs, R. M. Dick inson, H. W. H. Smith. Some one broke inte Mnldrow’s drug store on Friday night and se cure l about seven dollars. There was also an attempt to break in the stores of C. N. Oats & Co. and the Racket store, on Tuesday night of last week, but the attempt was a failure. It will be well for everyone to look carefully after the fastenings of dheir windows and doors, and see that they are made secure. As a general rule people are very ignorant or careless in regard to this matter and even a very bungling thief can force an entrance into most housef. Somebody broke into Joye end Sanders gtore pn Tuesday night, but nothing was missed this morning. There was a very pleasant sociable at Dr. Parrott’s on Thursday night at which the following persons were present Misses Alice Harrington, Gussie Kirven, Maud Kirven, May McCall, Alma McCown, Cown, Louise Keith, Eva Lee, Helen Harrell, Mamie Kelly, Mattie Hearon, Jennie Hast, Judith Hodgea, Ola Raet, Margaret Ervin, Maggie Law. Messrs. E. C. Burch, B. F. Smoot, Eugene Vaughan, J. D. Bast, Herbert Pegues, Leon Dove, Lawton Dargan, Willie Montgomery, Eugene Harrell, John Skinner, Willie McCown, Frank Martin, P. J-Boatwrighf, P. B. Par rott, J. 0. Baker. The congregation at the Metho dist Church last Sunday had the pleasure of hearing a unique sermon from Rev. Chas. B. Smith, of Ander son, who ia visiting his brother-in-law Rev. J. A. Bice. For originality of conception and clear, strong, practi cal presentation of the fundamen tal principals of the gospel, Mr. Smith has few equals and no supe riors among the younger prerchers of Sooth Carolina. He has caught the spirit of the times and no longer clings to the old hackneyed techni calities so common in the pulpits of former generations. It is encourag ing to see the younger preachers moving forward in their investiga tions and expressing the results in tbs language of today. The old truthes are always new when in liv. ing forms. ~ ... Personal. Rev. J. G. Law and family are at Cleveland Springs. Mr. J. A. Blackwell, a former resident, is in town. Mrs. J. T.

The new store, just completed, ■built by Ward & Nachman, and to he occupied by Woods & Woods, is the finest ever erected in Darlington, and by far the most convenient, and would make a good appearance in a city.

Nineteen schools were called, 17 of which made reports; Bandy Grove and New Chapel having no schools. The The schools were again called to obtain additional reports and explanations. The committee on general state of Bun- day schools reported indications of de ficiency in tbe number of lesson helps for the proper understanding of tbe lessons; tbe cause of tbe deficiency be ing tbe want of money in tbe treas uries. of tbe several Sunday schools. This committee noted these Improvements, 1. Increase spirituality; 2. Teachers more punctual; 3. A slight Increase in regular attendance^. Better plans for raising money to meet the current ex penses. $2%.85 is the total amount raised by the schools for all purpose's. The discussions on most of tbe topics were spirited and interesting. Tbe members of tbe conference felt so much benefit tad by tbe efficient nor mal work which Rev, J. A. Rice and Prof. W. A.

Rev. W. B. Burrows, of the Epis copal Church, then preached them a short sermon from the book of Ec- clesiaslicus: ‘’He gathered gold as tir.” He commended Mr. Jackson for his life in the past, and likened him to the hero who gives his life for others. He said Mr. Jackson had given his life for the uplifting of the world, and was constantly giving them new ideas. As a token of the esteem of his friends a tin can of gold, which was “gathered in tin,’’ was presented by him. Geo. E Foster followed with a solo on the indispensability of the chink. Mr. Jackson then thankei his friends for this honor done him and his wife in giving them this reception. Mrs. J. G. Scarborough sang a beautiful solo, which everyone enjoy ed.

But the practice is so reprehensi ble, aud verges so near to the border land of corruption, that we trust that no citizen of Abbeville county will so far forget himself, or the cause he represents, as to ask any caudidate.for a church or other sub scription.
