m / • r • TBE Di!Hm DARLINGTON, 8. U. Wednesday, Nov. /0, 1892. Mr. W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, spent Saturday in town. gol. Knox Livingstone, of Ben- nettsville, spent Tuesday in town. Read Mr. Lide’s advertisement and get your wood before the Winter. His prices are reasonable. — iO» - — Any one who has stock of the Darlington Manufacturing Co. for sale, will do well to read the adver tisement of Gibson & Woods. Some of our fanners were so elated at the election news that they yield ed to the spirit of the occasion and the persansive eloquence of our friend, Newton Harrell, and treated themselves to new buggies. Our friend Mr. I. H. Sandford had the post of danger at the celebra tion, on Friday night, and carried the powder keg under his arm. It is to be hoped that he had an accident policy in force at the time. Chairman Carter’s dispatch to Mr. Harrison said that their defeat was owing to a re-action against the pro gressive policy of - the Republican Party. Mr. Carter should have used the word repressive, in place of pro gressive. Chancey M. Depew, has made the prediction that the Democrats won’t have the courage to repeal the Mc Kinley Tariff. Mr. Depew probably judges other peoples conrage by the standard of his own which is evi dently very small. The Literary Club met at the resi dence of Mrs. A. M. Woods on Fri day night. Mr. C. S. Nettles read an interesting essay on Tennyson, whose poety was the subject for the evenings discussion. Those present were entertained with some good vo cal and instrumental mns : c by some of the lady members. There is a strong probability that the Democrats will be able to con trol the Senate as well as Congress, and if this be true, the people will soon be relieved of that monstious iniquity the McKinley Tariff Meas ure, and we may safely counton a ca reer of unexampled prosperity for the whole country. The town was visited with a severe storm last night A good meny of the electric light poles were struck by lightening and some of them bad ly shattered for some distance. The ones between Dr. Garners residence and the C. ft D. Depot suffered the most damage. Some of the insula ting material had probably been worn off from the wires. It is sometimes easier to win a victory, than to follow it up and reap its fruits. The Democratic Party has been victorious, but its triumph brings grave responsibilities, and un less they are recognised and met, then it will have shown itself un worthy of the confidence of the peo ple and will sure invite defeat in the next election. Some of the boys in town are the happy possessors of goats, and of course are very much envied by those who are not so fortunate. One en terprising youngster has broken a dog to harness and he, the dog, not the boy, trots along very quietly with a wagon. The only drawback is the sise of the dog, which is too small for heavy work, except with his teeth. We see from our exchanges that Georgia is claiming a Cabinet poai tion. Mr. Cleveland ought to be al lowed to select bis Cabinet without any demands being made upon him, and all true Democrats should ac quiesce in his decision. Georgia should not claim a reward for doing her duty and acting for her own in terests. Mr. Cleveland will unques tionably do what is best for the in terests of the Party and the good of the country. Those of our lady readers who would like to take the "Indies Home Journal, or renew their subscriptions, would confer a favor by sending their names and money to Miss Kate Lewis, of Timmonsville. The publishers have ofered a years tuition in .the Boston Conservatory of Music to any young lady who will secuie one thou sand subscribers, and Miss Lewis is anxious to secure this number and have the opportunity of enjoying the advantages thus olfered. The price of the Journal is one dollar, and it is more than worth the money. It is an old established periodical, and not published to secure subscribers and then to suspend Miss Lewis will not find it practicable to canvass very ranch for the Journal, but will highly appreciate the kindness of thoss who send their subscriptions to her. We have been told time and again that it is impossible to raise horses in tho South, that is at a profit, but it sssmi, impossible to beat the idea into the heads of some people^ and we saw a striking illustration of this the other day. Mr. W. F. Dargan and Mr. James Kirven sent about twenty-five horses and colts to the State Farr, all raised by themselves, and a very pretty lot they were too. Mr. Dargan is a lawyer, bnt gives a great deal of attention to his farm, especially his horses. Our*friend Jim Kirven is a genuine farmer and has never followed any other occupa tion or pursuit. He makes an abun dance of feed for not only his work stock bnt for his fine stock also, and then winds up with a big cotton crop. Both these gentlemen will un doubtedly carry off some of the pre- miumsat the Fair. The manager of the Opera House wishes ns to announce to our readers that Wilfred Clarke, supported by a first class company in every respect, will appear in the Darlington Opera House on Saturday night the 19th inst The New York Ledger says, “Mr. Clarke will soon be recognized as the first comedian of the Ameri can stage.” He comes from a family of America’s most renowned historic artists. His father, the famous John Sleeper Clarke, cannot be ex celled in High Class Comedy, his mother is a daughter of the World- renowned tragedian Junius Brutus Booth, and he is a nephew of Edwin Booth, the greatest American artist in his profession to-day. The visit of Wilfred Clarke to our local stage should long be remembered by the lovers of good acting in our city. There should be no standing room in the Opera House on the night of his visit here. As nearly one hundred reserved seats were taken last Satur day, those who wish to witness this performance should book the remain ing seats as soon as possible. Our patriotic fellow citizens from the Factory came down, on Friday night, and literally took possession of the Square. They had a brass band, torches and a cannon, and gave us a real good old fashioned jollifica tion meeting, in honor of the elec tion of Cleveland. The cannon was improvised for the occasion and was the work of that skilled mechanic, Mr. W. G. Dickson the engineer of the Factory, and it made a pretty loud report We did not mpster up sufficient courage to make a very close examination of Mr. Dickson’s piece of artillery, so can’t be expected to give a detailed description of it A real cannon is a mighty dangerous and demoralizing thing, especially when somebody, on mischief bent, is trying to get the muzzle pointed in your direction. Under these cir cumstances a small ■ field piece as sumes the dimensions of a one hun dred ton cannon on a British iron clad war vessel. Speeches were made by Solicitor Sohnson and Mr. C. P. Dargan. The celebration was a suc cess in every way and thoroughly en joyed by everyone. The omnibus horses did not seem to entirely take in the situation, and were a little skittish about going up to the Hotel. It must not be understood from this that the horses are protectionists. They believe in a Tariff for revenue only. Those sturdy democrats, Mc Cullough ft Blackwell would not own a cat with Republican pro clivities. . Hew SUMes. Livery, sales and feed stables just opened.

Main street •*« nr •Heel CltineM Passes ho Was Well known througfctbe Oounty and very highly esteemed by everyone, died on Saturday and was buried on Sunday afternoon, at the family burying ground. The funeral was largely at tended by his friends and neighbors who desired to pay this last tribute of respect to the memory of one for whom they entertained such feelings of respect and affection. Mr. Carter was an energetic hard working man and a successful farmer, and man aged his farm up to the past few years, when owing to advancing years he relinquished the active duties of life, and spent the balance of his days in the quiet retirement of his home, solaced and cheered by the kind ministrations of his children. He was a just and honorable man in his dealings with his fellow men, and left behind him, as a heritage for his children, an un blemished reputation. He had more than reached the alloted three score and ten years, being seventy-six years old at the time of his death. His wife,. to whom he was married in 1840, and 8 children survive him. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Burton, Pastor of the Swift Creek Baptist Church, who, in the course of his remarks, stated that Mr. Carter had been a member of the church for over 60 yeais. Court Proceed!if*.
