The Darlington correspondent to
the Hartsville Messenger, says:
Daring the recent trouble at Dar
lington it was reported that Mr. G.
J. Brown, former editor of the
Iteform Sentinel, had made an affi
davit to the effect that the con
stables were to blame for the whole
trouble. Mr. Brown denies the
charge and says he knows nothing
whatever about the affidavit in ques
tion, and that, were be to make such
a charge, it would le wronging bis
friends.
The reports of Generals Farley
and Itichbourg are too voluminous
for us to publish, but a careful
perusal of them makes it very evi
dent that Governor Tillman was
very anxious from the first, for a
collision to take place between the
malitia and the citizens, and that his
purpose was defeated by the for
bearance of the people and the wise
aad conciliatory course pursued by
the commanding officers. Any fair-
minded man who will carefully read
these reports will be unable to form
any other conclusion.

Mr. II. Y. Scarborough, whose
affidavit appears below, makes a very
serious charge against Mr. J. N.
Kirven, a member of the Board of
Control, and one that should be im
mediately investigated. As a mere
matter of justice Mr. Kirven must
have the opportunity of meeting the
charge, and until then we forbear
from making any comments, except
to say that if he cannot exonerate
himself some other man ought to be
put in bis place. Onr columns are
open to him and we will be glad to
publish anything he wishes to say iu
regard to Mr. Scarborough’s charge:

Personally appeared before me H.
Y. Scarborough, who on oath says that
on last Wednesday or Tuesduyi the
10th or 11th Instant, J> P. Kirven, a
member of the County Board of Con
trol for Darlington county, came out
one and a half-miles from town to
deponent’s place and approached de
ponent and asked deponent to make
application for the position of dispen
ser for Darlington county, which de
ponent at Ant declined to do and gave
as his reason that the board had refused
his application as clerk Iu the dispen
sary amt he did nut want to lie n fuaed
again. Kirven thereupon said that
he knew the board had refused him
hut that he (Kirven) did that in the
interest of Ida nephew, King, and the
teiai'd now wanted de|ntleilt as dis
penser Deponent (lien consented in
die ins applies!ion aad Kirven said if
deponent would give him Ten Dollars
a month nut of his salary he would
guarantee deponent the position amt
would go on ills bond and they could
run the dispensary to suit IheniSelvts.
Deponent declined the position and
Kirven left saying lie would put de
ponent in Hie di.-|iensai'y anyway. On

came to deponent at Ihe bS'-k door of
the eonrihouse and naid everything
showed up all right iu Ihe dD|»ensar_»
and he wanted deponent to take Ills
iiepacv, King, iu there w.lh him
Deponent declined, saying that J. H.
King could not go in the dispensary
with him under any consideration.
That from that time deponent is in
formed and believes that the said J. P.
Kirven lias worked against deponent
for the position of dispenser and that
the board today eleted one H. A. Joeey
as dispenser. [Signed.]

The Question tf Css4 Roads.
Some time ago in speaking of the
importance of improving our public
roads and of keeping them iu good
condition, we suggested that the use
of wide-tired wheels would go a long
ways in the direction of accomplish
ing this much desired end. The
suggestion was also made that the
front and rear axles ought to be of
different lengths iu order to prevent
them ntnnitig in the same track.
After the article was published we
found that this was the plan adopted
in several of the countries of Eurotte
and had been found to work well.
In a week or two we will publish an
article, from a Boston paper, on this
important subject iind trust that it
will be given a careful perusal. It
is a matter of paramount importance
that we should devise some method
to improve our roads, and the man
wl o cun suggest some practicable
plan to accomplish this result will
be a public benefactor. There is one
thing, however, iu connection with
this subject to be considered, uud
that is the absolute necessity of
arousing public seutimeut iu regard
to its importance. As the case stands
at present the very people who suffer
most from bad roads, the farmers,
are ruining what few good roads
we have by plowing tkem up.
This has become such a widespread
evil that good mnny public roads
can’t be traveled without the wheels
of the vehicles coming into contact
with freshly plowed ground. Where
the custom of doing this is pre
valent the county commissioners are
practically powerless uud an abate
ment of the nuisance must come
from an improvement in public
sentiment
The Stralghtsats Defeated.
Last Monday afternoon the base
ball season was opened by it game
between the Straightouts and the
Athletics, of the town, at Academy
green. The Straightouts showed up
well, bnt the Athletics were too much
for them in all round ball-playing.
The following is the score: Straight-
outs, 14; Athletics, 10. Time of
game, two boors. Early umpire.
The two teams will cross bats again
this afternoon at 4 o’clock and those
who attend can expect a close game.
Good order will prevail and the
ladies are especially invited to attend.
HOW* ABOUT THE FAHK?
The list is still being circulated
for subscribers to the capital stock
of the Baseball Association, and
every one that is enterested in the
National sport should take one share
if not moiT. We must have a park
to insure good games.

Tillman’s conduct in declaring
that an insurrection existed in two
counties and ordering out the miii-
lary forces and his iucendiary
speeches during the so culled “in
surrection” and his effort now to arm
large bodies of fanners, ordering
arms from Northern factories, etc.
gives natiirally the impression at
the nioitey centres that this is a bi.d
territory to let money into for indus
trial matters at this time. Con
sequently many persons are going to
suffer needlessly, only because of
Tillman’* inulignauce, for bread
during the siinu . In fact it is
alarutiug and J stressing to con-
lemplate what is likely to follow
Tillniiin’sfullyuiid Kitrugts. For our
selves we would be willing to make
any sacrifices were a great principle
of future good government at stake,
bat to have to bear all these ills
because of one man’s wicked heart,
with no good resulting, is just hor
