Detective Nevvbold, one of Gov ernor Tillman’s assistants in the Dis- jxmsary business, has sworn out warrants agninst a number of the citizens of Florence, for raiding the Dispensary sometime ago, and they have -all appeared before a trial justice and given bond for their appearance at court.

The tickets will be sold for so much money and this will include railroad fare both ways and board fur the time specified. There will be no extra expenses as this includes every thing incident to the trip.

It is almost needless to Encouraging Prospects. - After pretty diligent inquiry we fail to find a single farmer who does not speak encouragingly in reference to the prospects for a trood crop of both cotton and corn, especially tie laiter. We trust that our faimers will make every effort to raise all tht peas and potatoes that they possibly can and by this plan be enabled to raise plenty of meat. It is the oniu- ion of those who are posted about such matters that meat will be scarce and high for the coming year, and if this lie true then it is of para mount imjmrtance that the home supply should lie sufficient to make our farmers independent of the West. In this connection we wish to repent a statement wc have made in several former issues of The H KHALI), and that is in regard to the much talked of alliance between the West mid the South. Ir, is the inter est of the West that the cotton craze in the South should continue and that in this way that section oau be enriched by selling the South its "I’.* 1 stock, corn and meat; and it is just " u 1 as surely to the interest of the South to produce these things at home and be, in this way self supporting. The only kind of mi alliance we want with the West is one looking to a low tariff and a stojipage of the pension frauds, and when our West ern friends are willing for this we will meet them half way, but we must insist on keeping our money at hmne mid letting them look out for themselves in the race for agri cultural prosperity. Letter frtn Flsresre. From our Regular Correspondent. Flohexoe, S. C., July 12.1894.— Florence is very dull now, more so than it ever was before.

Darlington Chalked Up Her Fourth Victory Over Florence, Winning Fonr Out of Five Games. Darlington feels pretty well, thank you, over her baseball experience of the jiast two months and is more than ever convinced that she has about Hie cleverest lot of ball-tossers to lie found in any amateur team in the State. Ou Monday afternoon at the Base ball Park Florence jilayed her fifth game against Darlington and lost by a score of 9 to 12. Florence was a little sore over her last defeat on her own grounds, and was determined to win tIds game. Not being satisfied with her regular team she secured two of Sumtor’s crack players. On comparing the relative strength of the two teams they seemed to be evenly matched, but Florence was unfortunate in having one of her best players disabled by a swift ball and her catcher wasn’t in condition. But at no stage of the game did the result float in conjectures, except perhaps in the half of the third in ning, when the score stood 7 to 2 in favor of Florence, but Darlington soon passed them, making six scores in the fifth inning. For Florence Gorniff pitched a good game, but his supjiort was jioor. McNeill and Schreek also played good ball. For Darlington McGullough played in his usual tine style, making two single, one double and two runs. Frank, no doubt, is the best all-round player on the team. Jennings, the handsome third baseman, made sev eral tine plays. Register pitched a S ood game, yielding only four base- its aud Hutchiusou supported, him well. The feature of the game was the playing and coaching of Harris Bristow. The grand stand formed itself into a large admiration society to cheer him. He lead off with a base-hit and repeated it in the sixth, making third on errors. Ilis appear ance at the bat was always a signal for vociferous cheering. Register has recently married and after the game the citizens presented to him, for his wife, a beautiful chair iu token of their appreciation of his services. The crowd also gaye three cheers for Harris Bristow and promised him one if he would do likewise. The following is the official score Darlington. R. IB. PO A. E.
