The editor apologises to tne read ers of Thu Herald for the editorl 1 ■nd local matter that appears this week, as he has been too unwell to give the paper the necessary atten tion. We call attention to the advertise ment of Nixon and Harllee, barbers, who have made a very enviable repn- tation for skillful work in their line. They are not only experts but are eminently worthy of patronage on account of being good citizens.

Birds will be allowed to forage for worths. . We are very glad to be able to say that Dr. W. J. Garner has concluded to remain in Darlington and practice his profession here. This will be very gratifying news to his friends, and to all who wish to avail them selves of his services. He will re build his store and put up a much handsomer building than the old ote. and which be an oraament to the Square. The lower story will be oc cupied by Dr. Boyd as a drug store and the second story will be fitted up for Dr. Garner’s special use, and will be devoted to this purpose alone.- There was a very successful en tertainment, at the residence of Dr. Parrotton Wednesday night, at which the following persons were in attend ance: Misses Lillie Ives, Florence; Janie Bass, Swift Creek; Lou Mclver, Annie Hearon, May McCall, Mamie Kelley, Jennie Bast, Maggie Burch, Alma McCown.

We are very anxious to secure the services of a reliable correspondent at the following places, the persons who had arranged to act as such having signally failed to keep their promises, Dovesville, Society Hill, Riverdale, Timmonsville, Lydia, Oats, Hartsville, Swift Creek, Lamar and any other sections where we have no correspondents.

The trees are about twelve or fifteen feet high, and were full of fruit in the Spring, but a good deal of it was lost by a very severe frost that came late in the season. He gathered about twenty or thirty of the nuts and they we full size and very sweet., It is gen- ereally known that the tree is hard in our climate, but most people an detered from planting them because the opinion prevails that they will not commence bearing before they are twelve or fifteen years old. Mr. Schmid’s trees are only six years old add were raised from the seed. He probably threw them back about a yew by transplanting them, which should never be done, as nut bearing trees have a very long tap root and the npt should be planted where the tree is to stand. The uuts are in steady demand at from thirteen to fifteen cento per pound, and they can be made a profitable crop. They will flourish oh the rich hillsides on our streams, making land valuable that is entirely too steep to cultivate. Mr. Schmid has given us a few of the nuts which will be exhibited at the State Fair. A CwapHaeitary Party.

There wav a very heavy cloud, fc- companied with some wind, and a good deal of rain, passed over the -town on Tuesday afternoon. It frightened some of the nervous folks who see an imaginary tornado in every cloud. There was not enough wind to do any damage.

Baker, of Mc- iville, which event occurred t Tuesday at the residence of his - Shin-law, Mr. J. 0. A. Moore. Mr. Mooney has just completed two very fine mantel pieces that he proposes to exhib't at the State Fair. One is made of walnut and the other of oak, both native growth, and the wood is very close grained and is beautifully polished. They reflect a great deal of credit an the taste and skill of Mr. Mooney, as the de signs and work are both his own. They were made for tne Iwge double pwlers of Col. Mclveris residence and will be pnt in position after the Fair. Another fact in connection with Mr. Mooney’s work is that his prices are lower than is chwged elsewhere for similw work. Mr. McFall has a mantel piece, made by Mr. Mooney, in his new honse, that he says is a better price of work than one he saw that was made in Chicago, and that coat a great deal more money. Peo ple who are judges of such work enght to call at Mr. Mooney’s and see theta fine specimens of his skill On Thursday last, Mr. Rowe, of Bennettsville, took exception at something said by Judge Townsend) in the court house, and cow hided him. The next day Mr. Frazier, son-in-law of the Judge, resented the insult and he and Mr. Rowe had a fight, during which Mr. Frazier was seriously shot by Mr. Rowe. Friends of both parties rushed up with drawn pistols, and but for the efforts of Sheriff Rogers and some other gen tlemen, who were attracted by the firing, a bloody low would have en sued. Mr. Rowe claims that he ex pected to be shot himself and was acting in self defense. We have no intention of prejudiciug the case either way, but from all we cun gather the cowbiding of J udge Town send was hardly justifiable, especially when the fact is considered that, so far as report goes, he was not given an opportunity to retract or apologise for the language used. Both of the principals have numerous relatives and friends, and if these friends had acted promptly, and had had both of them pat under peace bonds, the ■hooting of Mr. Frasier would have been avoided, but we suppose that it is the same old story, that no one thought the matter would be carried any further, and did not interfere until too late. The whole affair is deplorable viewed from any stand point and famishes another illnstra- tion of the ntter disregard of human life that so universally prevails. ■ So far as we can learn the sales at the tobacco warehouse have been sat isfactory to all concerned, and the inauguration of the enterprise can be truthfully called a success. When the fact is considered that the bnsi- ness is a new and our farmers entire ly inexperienced in its culture and curing, it is a wonder that they have done so well. There is every reason to feel encouraged, and we predict that in a year <r two the acreage, in this connty, will be largely in exctsi of what it now it is, and it will have passed far beyond the range of an experiment The demand for fine tobacco is on the increase and it is very improbable that the supply will ever exceed the demand.
