Davis, a very weal thy gentleman who has an elegant residence on Long Island, did a noble act of unselfishness in throwing open his mansion and all the outbuildings on the place to shelter the passengers on the steamers that were in quaran tine; even offering to dismantle his e'egant conservatories for them. Words are inadequate to express the admiration that all true hearted peo ple ought to feel for an act that, under all the circumstances, has never been surpassed and rarely equaled in its sublime compassion and sacrifice. Mr. Davis is a native of South Carolina, but has spent all his life in New York. His wife, who joined with him in this Christlike sacrifice, . was Miss Armida Moses, of Sumter, ^Twhees mental and-social accomplish ments are only exceeded by her hero ism an unselfishness. South Caro lina is proud to have given birth to two such noble people. r? The Liliputian Reading Club will have a special meeting to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon at 5 o’clock at the residence of Mr. J. H. Kelly. All the members are requested to attend as business of importance will be transacted. Mr. B. 0. Bristow returned yes terday from a trip te Baltomore, vis iting that city in order to purchase goods for the Fall trade and tho Christmas holidays. He spen Sun day iu Washington and says that the citp was crowded with people attend- ing the encampment of the G. A. R. Despite the hard times new build- inns are constantly being erected in Darlington, pretty fairly divided be tween stores and residences. The demand for small cottages is con stantly on the increase, and nearly m all that are put up are rented before tlpir completion. There is no safer or more profitable investment than tho building of these cottages. We base received from the secre tary the premium list of the State Fair, which is to be held during the week beginning Nov. 7th and ending on Friday 11th. These annual ex hibitions are doing a great deal to advance the agricultural interests ol ! the State and should be sustained by all classes of our people. This is not a good year for the farmers, but, notwithstanding this fact, each one ought to try and send something to the Fair. The premium list is as literal as it is possible to make it, that is with a due regard for the in come of the Association. There is some talk of Governor Tillman meeting Toni Watson, the Georgia turncoat, on the stump in this State before the campaign is over. If they should meet we are prepared to see the Third Party apos tle get the worst drubbing he ever had. But before attempting to speak against Watson we would suggest that Governor Tillman should devote some of his time and attention to rooting out the Third Party men who have sneaked into the Democrat ic camp and are now running for of fice under the Democratic name. He snould insist upon these men saying what they are and where they stand. No candidate who declines to be bound by qbe action of the National Democratic Convention at Chicago or the Democratic cancas at Wash ington is entitled to the support of Democratic voters of this State. A strong statement from Governor Tillman upon this point would be appropriate at this time.—News and Conner. last week after a Mvcn months stay! «it »«*» admitted, just for tbs In Europe, whither be went to per- ‘“k* of argument* that there is a great deal to be laid in favor of go ing barefooted in the summer, and we honestly think there are some strong reasons for it, which will readily occur to any one, it must be confessed that our pedal extremities need some protection from the rigors of a winter climate. This being the case the question naturally occurs as to how this protection is to be pro vided. Of course it is manifest'y impracticable, owing to a lack of skill in the chase and to the scarcity of wild animals, at the present day, to follow the example of the ancients, and cover our feet with the skins of t’ e denizens of the forest, however comfortable and picturesque that might be. This being the case we must resort to something else, and about the only practicable solution of the question is to encase our feet in the modern shoe; wnich is about as comforttble a contrivance, if we don’t buy number nine shoes for number eleven feet, and hop around und suffer for our vanity by raising a crop of those exquisite tortures, corns, as can well be conceived of, but there is something in the place we get them at, as we want them to last as long as possible. Woods & Milling have not been in business long enougn to have a shoe museum but they have all the modern styles, and can fit anybody, little and big, from the girl with the Cinderella foot to the big footed fellow'‘that makes the earth tremble beneath the tread of a number fourteen brogan. A Pretty Church WeHlig. The Presbyterian church was crowded on Wednesday night, by the relatives and friends of the contract ing parties, to witness the marriage of Mr. G. W, Brown and Miss Hat tie Ervin. The Church was beautifully deco rated for theo pension, and the taste displayed in the arrangement of the flowers was simply exquisite. The floral decorations were confined to only one flower, the showy Golden Rod, and each one of the bridesmaids carried a bunch of it in their hands. The bride entered the Church ac companied by her maid of honor, Miss Meta Williamson, and were met in front of the pulpit by the groom and his best man, Mr. C. R. Woods. The bridesmaids and groomsmen stood on each side of the contra! aisle. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. G. Law. The newly married cou ple were followed out of th Church by their attendants in the following orden C. R, Woods—Miss Meta William son; Robert Ervin—Miss Mary Coker; E. M. Williamson—Miss Mary Scott; R. E. James—Miss Lou Mclver; B. F. Williamson—Miss May Ervin; M. T. Lide—Miss Bess Ervin; Bright Williamson Claude Milling- Dablingtoh, Sect, ft 1893.

With the several funds and the privilege tax on fertilizers at their disposal, the next Legislature will probably be urged to furnish the trustees of Clemson College with the means to complete the buildings, so that tho institution may be opened noxt year. The State is, and always has been, in favor of liberal support of the public institutions. Clemson College having been demanded by a large class of the people, and a very large amount of money having al ready been expended upon it, we be lieve that it should be oponed at the earliest possible moment, and proper ly maintained so long as its patron age warrants. It was founded upon mesrepresentation and deceit, bnt we have it now and most provide for its maintenance. Bnt if Clemson College is to re ceive appropriations from the State, in addition to all of the moneys ob tained from the General Government, we yuist that it shall be dealt with in the same manner as the South Carolina College, and receive all that the State has to give in a direct ap propriation from the treasury. Let the State collect and use the privil ege tax and appropriate the n&essary money to conduct the Cellege., Then t ie people will know what they are doing and bow mnch Clemson is eosting them.—The State. New Store. The finest store that has ever been builtin Darlington, is now filled with a stock that correspends with the building, and an inspection of it will make anyone open their eyes, not ouly at the variety and quality of the goods but at the very low prices that are charged for them. The ladies will be sure, as many of them already done, to become very enthusiastic over the many pretty dress goods and other things that are open for their inspection. To mention all the nov- ties that are to be seen in this store would take a great deal more space than we have to spare, and then too we might be accused of exaggeration if we were to go too much*into details and it must be remem bered that newspapers must not even seem to nse language . that is not borne out by facte. A day might be very pleasantly spent in this store, going through the various depart ments, commencing at the dress goods and ending in the grocery de partment. The ladies will find a great many things besides dress goods to please them, and an inspection will convince thtm of this fact People who want not only to have a big stock to select from but to get value received for their money will be repaid for visit ing this establishment, where a dol lar can be made to bay a good deal. After the dress goods and shoes, everybody will want some fine blank ets for the cold weather and a nice carpet to put on the floor. The grocery department is com plete, and centains everything that is nice to eat, and if somebody would put up hominy in cans it would be perfectly practicable to live without cooking. Woods A Woods are the men who have all these things, and their big abvertisement will show tnat they are willing for the news to go abroad.
