Mr. Hampton Parrott, of Swift Creek, and Mr. Edward Brunson, of Darlington, will clerk for Mr. M. Marco after thfe 1st of September. No services were held in the Meth odist Church on last Sunday on ac count of the absence of Rev. Melvin McLond, who was expected to preach. Mr. J. M. James left on Monday afternoon for ’Virginia, and Dame Rnmor says that the object of his trip is a very important one. Mr. T. W. Norment accompanied him. We have received a catalogue of the South Carolina College and re turn than ks for same. The catalogue is very complete and sets forth every thing of interest connected with the College. The Pastor of the Methodist Church, Rev. J. A. Rice, has been given a months vacation and is spend ing the time with his mother, in Col leton County. The Church will prob ably be open once or twice during his absence. We return thanks for a copy of the admirrble address, delivered be fore the Citadel graduates, by Rev. C. S. Vedder, of Charleston. His subject was: “Seek the highest ideal in character and career, and then measure and mould yourselves by it.” The store of Mr. B. 0. Bristow was entered on Saturday night, from the back window and a number of articles taken. Mr. Bristow is un able to estimate the loss.

It is not a mat ter of conjecture or of experiment, but is its absolutely certain us any thing can be in the future. Some of the most flourishing towns in North Carolina would be but vil lages but for their tobacco factories, and their business is increasing every year. Such towns as Durham and Winston owe their growth entirely to this cause. There is a factory at Mt. Airy that is filling a very large order from Germany. So far as present indications go there is not the remotest probability of the market becoming overstocked with tobacco, especially of the fine grades, and the demand for these fine grades seems rather to exceed the supply. Let everyone who can possibly do.so take some stock in this enterprise. laclalmrd Letters. List of unclaimed letters remain ing in the post office for the week ending Aug. flth 189?. B—B. B.

ANNUAL MEETING From the depths of our hearts do we pity those poor fellows in South Carolina to-day, who want office so badly that they actually are attemp ting to stand on the Democratic plat form and the People’s Party plat form at one and the same time. Please, citizens, as soon as you con sider it “practical politics” to get on one or the other of these platforms do so and relieve us and other tender hearted lookers on of the painful their votes at the primary, most em phatically endorse for the Ijegisla- ture those men who would vote and work first, last, and always for pro hibition.

IV r hands God will requirJjthe bl^id If those inno cent childreh ana Broken-hearted that loyal dptioa R wives whose troubles shall come from the strong drink which you refused by your vote, or by your failure to vote, to put down. Think of this matter, pray over it, and then do your duty at the primary in the fear of God. • No man will dare pray for the success of the saloon in the fight now before us. Why? Because every man knows that God and right are both against the rnm power. If i would be on God’s side—if we would be with the right—if we wouli have a conscience void of offense towards God and man, we must do all in our power now to redeem our people from the curse of intoxicating li quors as now manufactured and sold by the sanction of the laws made by those who are elected, if not by our votes, at least with our consent. 1 have been writing about the state of affairs in our own County, but what is true of Darlington is true of every other county in onr State, and to>how Uiat we need to prohibit thni&nii^inre and sale of intoxicating Hquum heroia to pro that we neeg the prohibition of it in our entire State. Shall we have prohibition for the State? Yes, if the Christian people of the State will do their duty at the primary. God grant that Darlington may be found on th* rlglto' side when the votes are counted on August 30th. It is said that tlis County spends $200,000 yearty #r intoxicating drinks. I btjtovu the truth, if known, would piaceihe figures near er $500,000; but suppose we spend ly $200,Ooir df^fear for strong drink. What a waste of money! Nine-t( nths of that amount is ex- _credibly informed, that egs. CAM iO prevailed in that town. With State prohibition even better results would be obtained. 1 do believe that all the anti-pov erty organizations we need is the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Suppose we give it a fair trial! ntfcCTrKJ PRINTER WANTED. f printor, wbouiideratanri* jol> work, and who uses neither whiskey nor pro fane language, can find permanent employment in The Herald office.

Respectfully, JOHN SAWYER, Aug. 10, ’92. The Tailor. The following are the prisoners who have been arrested in connection with the recent robberies: John Ronser, Gus Smith, John Melton, Edd Mills and Willie Mclver. The case has not as yet been fully investigated, but the circumstantial evidence agtinst them is very strong. The police deserve great credit for their work in making the arrests. We hear, on good authority, that the report is being circulated that nnless the whole tickets are voted the vote will not count This is sim ply false, and it is probable that thoee who are making the statement are aware of it and are doing it merely for political effect Any member of a Democratic club can vote and if he choses to can cast his ballot for a part of each ticket. The ballot can be either written or printed. There has been some disposition on the part of those who have suffer ed from the recent robberies to ac cuse the police of negligence, bat we think tke accusation a very unjust one and will give onr reasons for the statement With one br two excep tions nearly every store that has been bnilt since the fire, and some that were bnilt before, have been very in adequately protected by fastenings to the doors and windows, and the natural conseouence is that many of them can, and have been, entered withont the necessity, on the part of the burglars, of making any noise. This being the case we fail tosee the justice of holding the police respon sible, nnless it could be shown that the buildings were securely fastened. , The truth of the business is that the bnildera, owners and the merchants who rent these insecurely fastened all to blame tor what is nothing mors nor less than gross ig- elessness. Of the Darliaglna Agricultural aud Mechanical Society. The annual meeting of the Agri cultural and Medium*! Society was held yesterday at the Fair Grounds at 12 M. A large number of the progressive farmers of the County were present and much interest was manifested in the proceedings. The discussions were generally participa ted in and were very interesting. Prof. Massey addressed the Socie ty and in the course of his remarks said that the idea of these meetings Wl»8 progress. farmers of onr conn-, try must learn something from all with whom they come into contact. We of the South must learn to farm, not plant so much as we do now. Our lands must be made to yield us a fair profit each year and at'the same time not depreciate as fai ming lands. The best way to arrive at this result is by diversifying our crops and making recuperative crops, such as peas and clover, a large part of what we plant. But we must di versify intelligently and to do so it is necessary to study our lands and find out exactly what crops are best suited to them. One crop is a curse to any country, while nothing is more conducive to happy and suc cessful farming than an intelligent diversification of crops. We complain that there is no money in th« South, but we do not stop to see that money can not stay here while we are sending it North and West to pay for what we buy from there. Make these things at home and keep the money here. The Farmers Colleges are t stah- lished with the purpose of training men to farm more intelligently and not to train common field hands. If we learn to put more value upon this scientific education of farmers we would be more successful. Prof. Massey believes in stock raising for our country and advised the farmers who hud not done so to try it. The subject of stock-raising was discussed fully by the Society in connection with diversification of crops. After an interesting disenssien on profitable hog-raising the officers for the ensning year were elected and the Society adjourned. PcrMial. Mr. C. W. Hewitt is at Mt Airy, N. C. Mrs. S. F.

Does some one ask, “Do we need the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in South Carolina?” There can be but one answer to that question: Most assuredly we do!

Hoes any one deny these assertions? If so, we stand ready to name loca tions and give facts that will satisfy the most incredulous. This state of affairs exists in our County today. It is due altogether to the use of in toxicating liquors, because the very men who give trouble when drunk are, when sober, as quiet and orderly as heart can wish. Remove the temptation by prohibiting the sale of intoxicants, and we can, at once, give onr churches freedom from annoy ance by drunken men. ' Again. We need to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxica ting drinks for the protection of helpless women and innocent chil dren. Recently a man borrowed seventy cents to buy meet for his family. When he went home, he was on the outfide of forty cents worth (?) of wine, and carried thirty cents worth of meat in his hands. His wife re marked: “It is always just this way. My children crying for meat, and my husband making a fool of himself by wasting his money on strong drink.” . \ If only 1 could place all the rag* ged, starving children, and all the mothers £and wives who are being murdered “inch by inch” by hus bands w ho can’t buy food aud strong drink, too, and therefore spend their money for the drink and leave their wives and- children to shift for themselves or starve.
