Massey, of the North Carolina Exjieriment Station, will aidless the farmers at the Darling ton County Agricultural Society meeting to be held at the Fair Grounds on Aug. 14th. Prof. Mas sey was here two years ago and made a very fine impression on every one who heard his address. He is thor oughly posted in everything relating to agriculture and is doing almost incalculable g<«»d by his work in North Carolina. Those who fail to hear him will miss an opportunity that is seldom enjoyed by those who take pride In their occupation. Every fr.nier in the county ought to be on hand. fair sometime in October.! exact time has not, as yet, been 1 upon. Mr. J. T. China, the popular operator at the Charleston, Sumter end Northern Bailroad, of this place, ia visiting relatives and friends at Lanes, 8. C. Mr. John 0. DuRant, of Mt Clare, is filling his position. Mr. 8. B. Gandy has given The Herald occasion to have very sweet and pleasant recollections of him by presenting the office with a very fine watermelon. A man who can’t enjoy a good watermelon can always count on our deepest sympathy. Messrs: A. C. McFall. C. S. Mc- Cullougb, Jr., aitd J. J. Caldwell left on Sunday for Bennettsville nt which place they will work at (he Mr. Me Fall being its super- at Mr. McFall’s family will bnbly continue to reside here. Policeman Cook, in addition to being very active iu thi discharge of his official duties, takes special pride in keeping the grass and ilowers, ou tie square in nice order, and lias neatly all the work done by the town prisoner*. Some of our country friends have started a novel enterprise, even if not a very commendable one. Tbey are hauling their snrplas cats to town and turning them loose to shift fur tbepaselves. One of the clerks in store saw nine turned k|irin one day. John Coleman and several tobacco men are in town. r are looking after the condition eu»|> and are very much With the outlook. The have inspecting the cro|>s and report them to be good. Some of our farmers have already cured a part of tbnlr crop and are very much grati fied at its appearance. Mr. Pstteraon Wardiaw, who has ' beet) superintendent of the Darling- tbh Graded Schools for several years, | In been elected professor of peda- gngia* and assistant professor of Oiclent languages in the South CaraiiM College. Prof. Wardiaw ia a hard student, a successful and conscientious teacher, and his many friends in Darlington, while ap preciating this recognition of his abilities, will be very sorry to give him np. This will, of course, leave his position here vacant There was a very pleasant sociable nt the residence of Col. Mclver on Tnesday evening. The following are the names of those who were presenl Mary McCall, Maggie Burch, “-■wan, May Ervin, Edna largaret Ervin, Ola Bast, Dargan, Bess Ervin. Messrs Emile, Henry and Archie J. W.

Sydnor & Treadway will have charge of the Tobacco Ware house for the coming season, and as they are both experienced tobacco men this will be a guarantee that everything in connection with the business will be conducted in the very best manner. Both gentlemen arc known in this section and have the confidence and esteem of all our tobacco planters. The outlook for the crop is very promising and the business will probably be large. The warehouse will he opened about Sept. 15tb, or earlier if conditions call for it lu this connection we wish to urge upon our planter* the import ance of sustaining the warehouse by selling their crop at home. They can get just as gixsl prices and imssibly do Itette. - than they can by shipping to other u a Lets. There will be more buyers than were on hand last year and ibe market will tie very lively.- Of Interest to Flower Growers. Mrs. C. S. McCullough has a water hyacinth that is something of a curiosity in the way of flowers. It is less than three mouths old and the growth has been so rapid as. to en tirely cover a tank that is eight feet iu diameter, it is now iu bloom and present* a gorgeous appearance. The large bybiscus shrubs on the square attract a great deal of atten tion on account of their brilliant crimson and scarlet blooms. The geraniums are also blooming nicely. A geullcimm of our town has a night blooming cactus that had a week or two ago twenty blooms open at the same time. It presented a magnificent appearance and the ]>er- fitme of the Ilowers was noticed a considerable distance away. The blooms are utiont six inches in di ameter and pure white. course, necessitated a fast for that meal, bnt it is almost needless to say that the fasting was not accompanied by the usual degree of humiliation, but by a feeling of deep indignation instead. Of course there are degrees in meanness, but the wretch that steals from a newspaper man has reached a depth of iniquity that is fearful to contemplate. Advantages of the 8. 0. College. Mr. L. C. Gleuu is now working for the South C, Mina College m this part of the Si and will be in Darlington the < y* part of next, week. The Alumni Association are in this wav bringing the many ad vantages of the college to the atten tion of the (icoplu of the Slate. The addition of new courses, the adop tion of the elective system, the reduction of expenses, the establish ment of courses for teachers, and the offering of two scholarships in these courses to each county have largely increased the usefulness and popularity of thj college. Their Influence is also indicated iu the bright prospects the college has of receiving a much larger numlier of new students this year than for several years. This Week’s Baseball The third nines of Florence and Darlington crossed bats at the Park on last Tuesday afternoon. They only played three innings, on tic count of rain, the score standing .1 to 1 in Darlington’s favor. The Florence boys, however, remained oyer until Wednesday moriiirg, when they resumed the game. The result was Id to 1 in Darlington’s favor. Darlington’s second nine and Pal metto’s first nine played a very in teresting game Wednesday afternoon at the Park, the score standing 7 to 1 iu Darlington’s favor. They will meet again next week. The next attraction at the Park is the games between Georgetown and Darlington. They will play four games, commencing with this afternoon. See advertisement iu an other column. Woff»rd College. We call attention to the advertise ment of Wofford College which appears in this issue of The Her ald. This institution has been doing a good work in tbe State, and its graduates occupy promiueut positions in every profession and business. The faculty is an able one and the work they undertake is done in a most thorough and systematic man ner. The standard is much higher than many other institutions that are far more pretentious, and the student that takes a high stand at Wofford has to do so by bard and persisteut study. While under control of the Methodist Church it is iu no wise a sectarian institution and is freely patronized by members of other churches who wish their sons to enjoy its advantages. Its president, Jr. James H. Carlisle, is a truly great man, both intellectually and morally, and is, by common consent, regarded as the foremost educator in the State. Of latest to Presbyterians. On Wednesday, Aug. 8tb, the Elders and Deacons Convention will be held at the Presbyterian Church in Florence, and the meeting bromi ses to be a very interesting one. We very much regret that we have not space for the whole program, but tbe following extracts from it will lie of special interest to our Darlington readers: Essay ou tbe Responsibilities of the Deacon—M. Louuoitt Essay on the Sabbath School Teacher—J. J. James. The Music of the Sabbath School —W. E. James. Rev. J. G. Law will preach before the convention on the ti Bowing Sunday m miing.

The services at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning will be conducted by the pastor. There will be service at the Meth odist Churoh on Sunday morning by the pastor. Tilt union night service will l»e held hi this church. The usual lay 'erviee at the Epis copal Church on Sunday morning. Rev. E. (J. Jones, the young min ister who conducted the service at the Methodist Church on Sunday last and also the night service ai. the Presbyterian Church, is an accom plished musician and ou Sunday afternoon he treated those who were fortunate enough'to be present to some fine music on the organ of the Methodist Church. Since the above was in type we learn that Rev. Mr. Carlisle will not return this week Hint that there will l>e no service nt the Melliodisl Church on Sunday. FBOM THE HILL. Personal Paragraphs Pertaining to Visiting People—Improve ments and Other News. From onr Regular Correspondent Meyer, of Charleston, Mrs. Mary . 1 . . is visiting relatives in this vicinity. The latest addition lo the machine shop force is Master James Ward- law. * Messrs. Charles Broach and Rob ert Cook are slinging shuttles this week. Mr. Oliver Edwards had a very fine mule to drop dead in the wood yard yesterday while the driver was unloading his wood. The Coxeyites who left several days xgn have returned, and can now lie seen inarching our streets daily, under the leadership of their very efficient officers. . Mrs. J. W. Biggs end Miss Martha Sanders are visiting relatives in North Carolina this week. The band entertained a numlier of their friends on Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. H. L. Blount. Refreshments were served and some good music was furnished by the hand. The hoys say their new in struments are dandies and with this new outfit they can furnish good music. Mr. Jacob Freed, the wide-awake factory hill merchant, will leave in a few days for the North, where he will purchase his fall stock of goods. It is said that the Coxeyites of the West would steal whole trains, hut the army that left here last week only stole one freight car, so report goes. The ice cream supper given by the Coker Cornet Band on Tuesday night was a success in every particu lar, and they realized a nice little sum towards paying for their new instruments. ti It has been stated by the press that Coxeyites would not work, eyen 1 if they could get it to do. Butauy- way our ball team has succeeded iu getting a portion of the army at this place to agree to clean off their grounds, it is feared by nu-.ny that tbey will weaken before the job is completed. Mr. J. E. Shaw and wife are still holding their street meetings, and a good many arc attending. They will observe the Lord’s supper on Sun day, at which time they will warh each others feet. Miss Judie Fields left Wednesday for Timmonsville, where she will spend a few weeks with relatives and friends. Mrs. A. F. plizzard has gono to Wilmington and the Hammocks, where she will spmd the balance of the summer with relatives and friends. j. e. h. The Han Them Out. sneak thieves continue to commit depredations, and will con tinue to do so until some means can be devised to get rid of the large number of strange colored people who never pretend to work and live by stealing from others. No town has a better class of colored people than is to be found iu Darlington and nearly all of them are indus trious and well-behaved, and they are themselves the victims, in many cases, of these worthless and rascally trumps. If they wout work they ought to he made to leave the town and the quicker the work is done the better it >vill 1m for all honest people. Times ere hard and those who have work to giro out ought by all meaus to give it to the colored people who are bona fide residents of the town and not to strangers who have claim upon them whatever. The police have Uen making it pretty warm for. the thieves that have recently been infesting the town, and are iu a fair way of getting rid of them. Maxey Samuel has 1 ten arrested for breaking into the residence of Mr. E. Keith Dar gan and will be projierly dealt with. Three colored nieu were arrested for vagrancy on Tnesday and were let off ou condition that they would leave the. town. Million Graham arrested for stealing from Mr. uo was Sam Ijc wen that’s, store and sentenced by Trial Justice Dargan to imprisou- < ! ATTTION.—If • dealer oBer* W. £.

This famous command held its nineteenth annual re-union ct the Mineral Spring on Friday of last week, and it is almost i-•edless to say that the occasion was a most en joyable one. Tbe war record of this company is a most honorable one and they never failed to respond to f 0 j. twenty-seven days, the call of duty. The passage of time but serves to draw the surviving members into a closer union of brotherly love, and their iiearts are always stirred at tbe recollection of the stirring scenes of tbe past. As the years go by the roll shows fewer and fewer names and this year there were only twenty-two present at the re-uuion. J. W. Brunson was elect ed president for the ensiling year. Messrs. E. Keith Dargan, W. A. Brunson and J. E. Pettigrew made the hearts of the old soldiers throb with emotion ami their eyes grow moist by the recital of some of the great struggles through which the Pee Dee’s had passed in doing their part in the fight for Southern inde pendence. A letter was received from a form er member, Mr. Blake, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., in which he i xpressed his regret at not being utile to he present.
