The Oil Mill has enough seed on
hand to run it for a longtime. Cot
ton seed oil IS now bringing a good
pricej and of course this means money
for the mill.

building opposite the ones burned on
Misnday morning, estimates the dam
age to the building at about fifty
dollars.
We made a mistake in crediting
the article on "Etnansipatlon Day”
to Mr. Cottitt, principal of the Mayo
School. It was prepared by Miss M.

I very creditable piece of reporting.

son is an experienced newspaper mah
and we wish him every success. He
bas oast his fortunes in the best sec
tion of the State and in the midst of
an intelligent and thrifty people.
Iu another column we publish an
account of a monster cargo of cotton
taken from Wilmington, which re
flects great credit on the business en
terprise of that Wide awake city.
Wilmington is enterprising and pro
gressive and is extending her trade
in this direction. Outside of its
business attractions it would be im
possible to find a more hospitable
and kind hearted set of people than
the citizens of this charming place.
Wfc have a fine fire engine ahd
plenty of water but we badly need a
paid fire department, a hook and lad
der truck and the organization so
perfected that orders of the
Chief will be obeyed. At every fire
the want of ladders is a most serious
difficulty, aud buildings ure often
endangered by there being no means
of getting on top of them. A few
light strong ladders Would cost very
little and would be of great service
even without truck, as they
Oouid very easily be carried to any
part of the Square.
No better evidence of the health
of Darlington could be given thau is
offered by the number of aged ahd
infirm citizens that invariably con
gregate at a fire. They are too old
to work, but they give those who do
work the inspiration of their pres
ence and the benefit of their advice,
Bat for the salubrity of our climate
and sanitary condition of our town,
a large number of these venerable
nitlseni Would be resting beneath the
sod. The fireman and the abltbod-
ifdoitittHS amidst the excitement
Incident to a fire ate extremely care
ful not to ran over these bent and
tottering forms, whose weak and
palsied hands cannot assist, but
whose tremulous voices are ever
ready with advice.
II.—rrv.IT,—r
About one o’clock Monday mOru<
log the fire bsll sounded, and it was
discovered that one of the small
Itorel, of rather shops, on Pearl
Street was on fire, There were three
of them Very near together and it
Was impossible to save any of them,
There WuS HO Wind and the buildings
Ott the opposite side of the street
Were saved by hard Work. Mr. Pore
mail ont a hole in the ceiling of the
two Story building just opposite the
burning buildings, and kept tbs roof
wet. This with work on the front

the agency of Gibson and Woods.

There were two Mormon elders in
town on Tuesday. They tried to get
the use of the Ci,«rt House for the
purpose of holding a service, but our
popular bachelor clerk would hot
consent for our temple of justice to
be used to propogate the doctrines of
this misguided sect These elders
are men of good address and pleasiug
appearance and they will probably
make some converts among ignorant
people.
Special Train to Benaettsviie.
By the solicitation of ministers
and friends living on the C. S. & N.
R. R., the company has decided to
run an extra train, on account of the
South Carolina auual Couferenoe
that will be in session from the 11th
to 16th January, 1893.
Train will leave Sumter on the
14th at 10.00 p. m., Darlington 11.11
p. m., and arrive at Beunettsville at
11.69 p. m., giving pavsengeis the
privilege of staying in coaches until
day, unless otherwise provided for.
Returning leave Bennettsville at 13
o’clock) but tickets good to return
on any train on the 16th.

An Important Movement,
One of the greatest inconveniences
of the town, the extreme narrowness
of Pearl street will soon he a thing
of the past as most of the holders of
property facing on this street have
consented to give about twelve feet
of their yards in order to make the
street of proper width, This will
make it nearly sixty feet wide which
will make it a Very pretty thoroug-
fare. Bo far there hae been no ob
jection, and the residents of this
street deserve the highest credit for
their, public spirit, Bnch concert of
action, on the part of its citizens, has
made Darlington what it is to-day.
Wo question if there is another town
in the State where the citizens work
together so harmoniously to promote
the growth and beauty of the town.
This work will make it necessa
ry to destroy a few trees, but they
can be replaced and in a few years be
prettier than the ones removed, At
present the work will extend from
Erven street to the railroad. The
business part of the street will be
widened later.
Wheu this is accomplished every
effort ought to be made to widen
South Main street, at least us far as
the C. 8. & N. R. H. This should be
done before the erection of brick
buildings will render it costly.
^The Clemenecau Case.”
Alex. Dumas’ masterly production
was given at the Opera House, on
Thusduy night, by one of the best, if
not the best, companies that has ever
visited Darlington, and those who
were not present missed seeing a very
thrilling peiform&nce by fine actors.
We sincerely trust that they will
visit Darlington again, and if they
should c.)me they will be greeted
with a full house. The audience
was not a large one, but this was
owing entirely to the hard times and
to the face that the town has, on
several occasions, recently, been im
posed on by poor companies. Mr,
Michie, the efficient manager, uses
the utmost caution in making con
tracts, but of course it is entirely
impossible not to be caught occa
sionally. He has every reason to
congratulate himself on the success
of the Clemenceau Company, aud
con rest assured that our people ap
preciate his efforts to faruish the
town with really good entertain
ments. We make a point of never
giving praise unless it is deserved,
but we could not well say too much
in favor of this splendid compa' y,
and trust that they may meet with
the success they so richly deserve.
Some of the parts are difficult to act,
but these fine actors are equal to the
task of doing full justice to this
masterpiece.

Wadesbore's New Real.
It becomes more and more evi
dent every day that Wadesboro will
soon have another railroad, and a
very important one at that. And
the beaty about it is, our citizens
Will not be asked to pay for it, for
the builders propose to furnish the
monny for its construction. A re
cent issue of the Baltimore Sun con
tained the following Liformation
about the proposed new road:
"The Atlantic Coast Line has
made preliminary survey for a Hew
railroad from Wadesboro, on its Che-
raw and Salisbury branch, to Win
ston, N. C. The road will be ninety
miles long and penetrate the valley
of the Yadkin river, whiab nns one
of the most remarkable Water power*
In the country, the fall being about
300 feet to the mile. At Wiuiton
the neW road will connect with the
Roanoke and Southern Road, a branch
of the Norfolk bnd Western, which
ba« its terminki at that place. The
tniilditig of this connecting line will
givb the Norfolk ymd Western a
the Pocahontas coal fields, and there
fore the Norfolk and Western is in
close sympathy with the enterprise
and will aid in its construction and
operation. It is said that the Coast
Line and Norfolk and Western in
dorse mutually for a term of years
tho’bonds for the construction of
this new link. Wheu completed the
road will be owned and operated by
the Atlantic Coast Line. The work
of construction will be commenced
as soon as the located surveys are
completed and will be pushed to a
rapid completion.”—Wadesboro, N.
C., Messenger and Intelligencer.
Rabbery and Arson.
On Thursday night of last week
the barn of Mr. Arthur Garner, at
Syracuse, was set on fire and with
all its contents was consumed. The
same night the depot at Lamar was
robbed and burned. Mr. Garner’s
loss was about five hundred dollars,
and the depot and co'ntents about
fifteen hundred dollars. Mr. Garner
had no insurance on his barn. We
have not been able to learn whethe
the depot was insured or not.
On Sunday night thebirn of Mr. E.L
Gray, of Lamar was seton fire and with
all its contents was a complete loss.
Mr. Gray lost two fine horses, all of
his corn and forage and everything
in the way of plantation implements
that he had. The loss is a severe
one to Mr. Gray, especially at a time
like this. He is one of the best cit-
isensof the County and -will have
the sympathy of everyone. Mi. Gar
ner is a very popular aud worthy
young man and bis loss is also a
heavy one.
On the affidavit of Mr. Gray, Trial
Justice Morris issued a warrant for
the following persons, all colored:
Harrison Graham, John Dukes, John
Williams, Baity Dukes, Hardy Mor
ris, John Thomas, Caleb Boston,
Nick Bristow, They ufe now iu jailt
Sheriff King, hie deputies and the
cltisens of Latttar deserve credit for
their prompt work in arresting them
all. There seems to have been a
regular gang organized for robbery
and arson. Communities that have
been lynching men for just snub
crimes uS this should learb a lesson
from the law abiding cit zeus of La
mar and let the law take its course.

A Sadden Death.
Mr. G. W, Bass, of the Swift

Friday after an illness of only two
days. He had contracted n severe
cold but none of his friends deemed
it at all Serious, He leaves a wife
and nine children to mourn his loss,
besides a large number of friends

at the time of his death. His re

€APE FEAR RIVER AND BAR.
Good Work of the Ini ted States
Engineers—The Increase in
Foreign Trade.
Wilmington has made good prog
ress in the past ten years iu its di
rect trade with European norts.
Yesterday, Messrs. Alex. Sprunt
& Son cleared the British steamship
Huntclff, for Bremen with ten thous
and bales of cotton. This is the
largest cargo ever shiped from Wil
mington. Messrs. Spru it & Son
ware pioneers in developing the di
rect foreign trade by steam from this
port. They chartered the Barnes-
more iu September, 1881, of 891
tons register which cleared the fol
lowing October with 3,466 bales of
cotton, 673 barrels spirits and 660
barrels Mein for Liverpool. This
Iteamet'was an experiment, and a
costly onej and resulted in a sharp
loss to the charterers, but the same
firm renewed the experiment iu 1884,
during which year Mr. C. P. Mebane,
ship-broker also chartered several
steamers for Messrs. Williams &
MurohiSfen for direct trade with Eu
rope. At that time Wilmington was
comparatively unknown to steamship
owners, aud the Cape Fear River was
considered dangerous for steamship
navigation. Since then United
States engineers have worked won
ders in the river and bar improve
ments, resulting in closing the New
Inlet and deepening the river from
Vi to 181 feet, and the bur from 16
to Jill feet. The work, under Maj.
W. S. Stanton, is progressing most
favorably, aud the port of Wilming
ton owes much to the skillful admin
istration of this efficient engineer and
his predecessor, W. H. Bixy, result
ing in steadily deepening the river
channel and bar, which Maj. Staton
intends ultimately to bring to twenty
feet at low water, if Congresdonal
appropriations are continued for that
purpose.
About two weeks ago Messrs,
Sprunt * Son cleared for Bremen
the British steamship Hclyrood,
which left on tieup tide in charge of
Pilot J. W, Craig, drawing 18 feet
iiacbvs, wil'cii ffM jttcrvMtij
taking on coal and cargo at South-
port to over 20 feet. This ship pro
ceeded from wharf to sea without an
accident of any description, which
speaks well for the work of tke gov
ernment engineering department.—

Keep Down the Acreage,
If the cotton planters of the South
cun be so fortunate next year as not
to produce more thau eight million
bales of cotton, they will be on the
high road to foitnne. The present
Crop Will fall short of last year's ovei-
two million bales. While this may
be regarded as a misfortune by some
people, we have no doubt that it will
prove n blessing. Had this present
crop approximated that of lost year,
cotton would now be selling at six
cents. This price would have im-
poverishod the South aud ruined our
people.
We have had a narrow escape from
bankruptcy. Our planters—forced
by the starvation prices that prevail
ed last season—were compelled to
curtail the cotton acreage. They
planted more grain and other food
crops. The harvests were good. The
enforced cotton acreage and the large
yield of other crops have resulted
advantageously. If the same wise
policy is pursued next year, the price
of cotton will be ten cents) and our
farmers will be free from debt.
Like the grain growers of the
West, the cotton farmers of the
South have been impoverished by
over-prod notion. This should be
avoided. We know that on r Alliance
friends maintain that it has not been
over-production, but tinder-consump
tion that has caused the decline in
the price of wheat and corn and
cotton.
But the fact that a nine million
bale crop sold os low as 6i cents, and
that a possible seven million bale
crop has sold as high as ten cents
would seem to conclude the argu
ment in faver of the theory that
over-production brings starvation
prices.
In any event, the cotton producer
will make no mistake next spring if
he does not depart from the policy
pursued at the beginning of the
present year. The more grain and
food crops the south produces next
year, the more independent will our
farmers be a year hence.—Augusta
Chronicle, 1892.
