reunion on Friday, at McCown’s
Mill.
IltfailfM.-. • ; .vj study is
A party of gen^^m^nile/t on Mon
day for Mars Bluff, where they ex
pect to spend a few davs in hunting
and fishing. They are the guests of
Mr. N, S. Gibson who is well posted
as to the beet places for game in his
section. They will probably spend a
night in the woods, in true hunters
style. They were provided with a
formidable array of guns, fishing
tackle, blaukits rubber boots and
other articles too tedious to mention.
That devoted fisherman and mighty
hunter, Mr. W. E. McCall, will prob
ably carry off the honors of the oc
casion. Besides Messrs. McCall and
Gibson, the following gentlemen are
in the party, S. A. Woods, L. S.
Welling, C. R. Woods, and Albert
Woods. They were to lave returned
last night, and had provided vehicles
to transport their game and fish from
the depot
Since the above was in type the
fishing party has returned. They
were very successful and caught
more fish than thev could consume.
Mr* J. H. Mason, who left Dar

A special business meeting of the

A Great Pact at Rest.
A fe\y days ago the intelligence
was received that Alfred Tennyson,
one of t4e greatest poets of this pr
any othe r age, had passed quietly
away and was at rest. In his death
not only the English speaking nations,
but also the whole world has sustain
ed an irreparable loss; for it has been
truly said that he wrote for all men
and for all time, and his almost
matchless poems will adorn the pages
of literature as long as admiration
for the true and beautiful sur
vives.
In the simplicity of his private life
he stood amost without a peer among
her of the Association is earnestly re
quested to make a special effort to be hie ^ ^
present at this meeting.
As it has been decided to move the
Confederal® Monument from its
present location, on the Academy
Green, to the Square, we .will, in our
next issue, publish a history of the
monument, from the inception of the
enterprise to its erection and dedica
tion. The article is now in course
of preparation by one who was con
nected with the Association.
The gentlemift who came into the
office on Saturday and borrowed a
copy of Thb Herald, will please
come forward and pay for it. The
paper is published as a bnsines enter
prise and not for gratutious distribu
tion. What aggravates the matter,
in this special case, is the fact that
the gentleman refered to has refused
to subscribe for The Herald, and
is not entitled to any courtesies. We
are always glad to send or give a
specimen paper to those who have an
intention of subscribing, but to those
who wish to get their reading for
nothing, we can show no favors.
For the benefit of our readers who
like to travel we publish the
schedules of the various railroads
that have connections with the ones
passing through our town. Going
North there is a choice of three
routes and everybody can suit himself
as to the one they will patronize.
The Atlantic Coast Line takes yon
by way of Wilmington N. 0., over
the Short Cut, the C. F. 4 Y. V., by
v a of Greenb >ro and the S. A. L. by
way of Raleigh. .It will beseeu that
Darlington enjoys good railroad fa
cilities. and will never be in any dan
ger of injurious discrimination aa re
gards freight rates. The Coast Line
now have a special coach that runs
from Charleston to Atlanta without
change. People fiom this section
will change only at Sumter.
The S. A- I* will soot have a

will pass over the C. 8. A N. .i

Late reaches.
Mr. Henry M. Smith has present
ed ns with cluster of ripe peaches,
which considering the lateness of the
season are very fine. The tree is
young and this is the first year it has
ever borne fruit. With a little care
in selecting varieties and with judi
cious culture, it is possible to have
fruit nearly every month in the year.
Late apples can be very easily carried
through the Winter and Spring and
will keep well until Strawberries are
ripe. If our people generally would
plant more fruit, it would not only
be economical, but add greatly to
their health.
Rallrsad AccMcbI at BeaictUvIlIc
On Monday afternoon while at
engine on the G. S. A N. R. R. was
pushing two empty box cars round
a carve, they left the track and three
of the train hands were killed.
Their names are Boyd Farley, Jim
Mitqliel and Charlie Brown. The
wounded are W. D. Folk, yard mas
ter, Andred Whitted and Ed Powell.
None of them are seriously injured.
The engine was running at the rate
of ten or twelve miles an hoar, and
the accident was very bard to account
for. It was possibly due to some de
rangement in the running gear of
one of the cars, which would not
low the truck to turn to accommo
date itself to the curve. Accidents
of this kind are to a large extent nn
avoidable as a derangement of this
bind does not betray itself to an or
dinary inspection.
Mabel Paige alike New Opera
Hesse.
The visit of the Mabel Paige Com
pany to Clifton Forge last week de
monstrated two things: that Clifton
Forge appreciates a first-class com
pany and that a first-class company
appreciates Clifton Forge.
The four-act Irish comedy, enti
tled “Inshavogue,” was the first pre
sentation; and a most enjoyable play
it was. G. Harris Eldon, who takes
the part of the Irishman, Inshavogue
is one of the best character actors we
have ever seen; bis every appearance
was a signal for merriment The
play bad not proceeded far until he
had completelv captured the audience.
Mabel Paige, who took the part of
Editha, and later, the parts of Zizz
and Liltle Arthur, is one of the most
ch&rmiug and gifted child actresess
ou the American stage. She is of
bewitching appearance and bright as
a star. Her stage reputation is al
ready made, though in the very be
ginning of a most promising career.
The performers were all veil adapted
to the respective parts and rendered
them In a faultless manner. The
audience each night, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday was large, and
made up of our very bestpeople, who
are quick to recognize 8 good play
when the see it, and just as wady to
repudiate a poor one. Mabel Paige
and her supporting company gave
universal satisfaction. Zizz, the pet
of the West, was rendered Friday
night, and Solomon Isaacs Saturday
flight*
This evening the Company will re
turn and present that charming play
“Little Lord Fauutleroy.” No one
should fail to see it In this Mabel
Paige will appear to her best ad
vantage.
The above we clip from the “Valley
Virginian, published at Clifton Forge
Va. This is the same company that
visited Darlington last winter, and
everybody remembers little Mabel
Paige, and will be glad to have an
opportunity to see her again. Her
rendition of Little Lord Fauntleroy
is in the highest degree entertain
ing and all the young folks will turn
out en Masse to hear her again. This
combination will occupy the Opera
House from the 24th to 29th Oct.
inclusive, and they ought to have full
houses, as they are both capable and
conscientious in their work.
mathematics do not expect to fill the
chair of this science at Harvard or
Yale; all Who study music do not ex
pect to star the American stage with
recitals, yet each one can ’cultivate
the taste, rbspectively, as to recognize
the beauty of the science. AH fault
does not lie with parent, but a great
deal in teaching. There is in our
nature a reeponsivl feeling to touch
and sound, and this^mustV directed
aright. Nature as a wbpk, with dis
position must be studied. “The
proper study of mankind Isman”
can be well applied while cultivating
the faculty and taq£e for music.
There is so much to learn^that is
truly beautiful. The deeper we go
into its fathomless depths tfye deeper
we want to go! Never arid ehd, al
ways something to learn, to encourage
us on. Its culture may h? classed
in four relations; the eye, the ear, the
taste and the executive ability, each
closely bearing upon tfieolher. Differ
ent minds grasp music in , a wholly
dissimilar sense. The sale of trashy

cessity of culture. How much time
and money is spent ou trashy music
and literature! Spent, aye, waited!
So often the servants are companions
while Wagner, Beethoven, Chdpin,
Mendelssohn, Mozart, Lists and
Bible, Shakespeare,
Scott, Bulwer and others in this liqe,
lie unnoticed. If not‘from, a selfish
motive, why not cultivate the beauti
ful in all things for the sake of,' fu-
ture generations, the future of this
sunny and promising laiid of* purs!
As in the lineaments d<> we traea -a i.
family or kind, so too* by-the taste
and mind. Hereditary; plays anitn-
portant part in life. Notonly “the
sins of the father” are handed’dpwu,
but the faculties of mind, disposition
and taste, whetler cultivated or not.

Why Columbus Ray )& October 21
Instead of October 12. *
The question was asked us the oth
er day why we celebrate “Columbus
Day” on the 21st instead of the }2th
of October. It is an easy question,
but one that has caused philosophers
great trouble. As far as history
shows, all nations have reckoned time
by solar or lunar changes. The
Egyptians reckoned only by the sea
sons.. The Jaws, Greeks, our awn
Indians, and many other people reo*'
koued by mouths, twelve lunar
mouths making a year, andoccasjon-
ally adding a month to keep time with
the seasons. .But eveq with the most
enlightened nations, theif rqctyp
ings were full of errors. '
Julius Caesar, 46 B. C., •was the
first to approximate nearest to adfti-
racy, by ordering that evtery year
should consist of 36lf| days. This
was called the Julian Calendar.
But a year in reality consists of
365 days, 6 hours, 48 inqriqtes, phd
50 seconds, or 11 minutes and ID
seconds less than the Julian CaWnr
dar gave. In the course of timethis
made a great difference, amonatftig
in 1500 years, tb'nine days, Colum
bus discovered America, aeoordiugtoz -
the Julian period, then,* Oct, 12,
1492, bnt taking into’conrideraftbn
the nine days’ difference it really was
Octal, 1492.. •. , ..
In 1588 Pope-Gregory XIII, order
ed that ten days should be added to
the calender, but i^-was not till du
ring the last century that all civliz-
ed nations, with the exception of
Russia, Greece, and some other mi
nor countries, adopted a universal
and correct Standard.
It is this 5 hours’ 11 xninntes, and
10 seconds that necessitates an addi
tion of one day every four years, which
we call a leap year. Other changes
are made e.ery 100 ye..rs, so as to
keep the days, seasons, and years in
harmony. ***

Musical Culture,
As a nation we have yet to learn
and teach music as a science. Gen
erally, it is considered a part of
girls education—the finishing part
rather than a master study for man
and woman. The day is approach
ing tho’ this generation nor many
others can enjoy the pleasure and
reap the benefit of its being taught
fta our schools aud colleges as a
science of worth. Why this lack of
culture? Where does it lie? Parlly
with parent partly with, and in
teaching. A child is put at school
at the age of six or seven and kept
there, till graduated, a lapse of ten
or twelve years. The same child is
pnt at music about nine or ten years
of age and if not developed into a so
.called musician in a few years, this
