There was a large meeting at Oats’s on Wednesday, held for the purpose of giving the candidates for the Senate, Ix-gislature and county offices, an opportunity of announcing themselves. Quite u number availed themselves of the opportunity and the iMOe will be a lively one. We trust, however, that the candidates will conduct the canvass in a courte ous ami orderly manner. We think it would help them to announce their candidacy in the regular way and luqie they will do so. The 11 EH alu will not lake any part in the canvass and will have no word to say against a single one of the can didates, a number of whom are the personal friends of the editor and some of them his war comrades. We have for them all the kindest feelings and trust that they will set an example to the candidates from tho other counties and not indulge in personalities. The following announcements were made: Senate—J. W. Beasley, E. L. Gray, J. 8. DuBose, J. N. Parrott. House—J. W. Warr, North- ent, J. P. Kirven, J. E. Miller, Walter Vaughn, P. R. McIntosh.

McCullough had planted several acres of watermelons, and also ventured the statement that the generosity of these gentlemen was so well-known that their friends might conut on a treat when the melons were ripe. So far as The Herald is concerned the prediction was a true one. as on Tuesday there came to the office one of the finest melons that we have seen in a long time. For fear of getting up u reputation for exaggeration we wont mention the weight, and only say that it was a whopper, if that is the proper word to use when yon want to say that anything is v<ry big.

Through the courtesy of Mr. T. E. Richardson, who has been tem porarily residing with ns, we have had the opportunity of examining some rare old historic documents, letters and autographs. Among them are letters from Francis Marion, Rutledge, Matthews, Pickens and other Revolutionary officers addressed to Capt. Wm. Richardson (the great grand-father of onr Mr. Richardson) and the original passport from Lord Rawdnn, commander of the'British ormy in South Carolina in 1781, granting Mr. Ricbardsm who at that time was a prisoner on parole ]ier- mission to travel between his planta tion on the High Hills of Santee and the city of Charleston. Perhaps the most interesting let ters in the collection are from Gen. Marion to Cap*. Richardson. We will, however, defer the publication of these letters and give, in this issue, a passport given to Cant. Richardson by Lord Rawdon. Passport—issued April 1st and 4th, 1781, to Wm. Richardson, ot High Hills, by l»rd Rawdon. Grunting him, a paroled prisoner, permission to visit Charleston oc casionally. Directed to Lieutenant- Colonel Balfour, comnmmlanl ut Charleston. Camden, April 1st, 1781. The beai*er, Mr. Wm. Richardson, haviutc requested permission to visit occasionally from his plantation on the High Hills to Charleston, I have, given him this letter to serve as a passport until it is revoked. At the same time on account of Mr. Rich ardson’s strict and honorable ob servance of his parole I beg leave to recommend him to your civilities. 1 have the honor to be, sir, yonr most obedient servant, Raw don. To Lieutenant-Colonel Balfonr, com mandant at Charleston. If is needless to say that Mr. Richardson prizes these old papers yery much and always keep them in a fire-proof safe. The paper pn which they are written, at least some of it is a little jugged, but the ink has not faded to any appreciable extent. Factory Dashes. From our Regular Correspondent. Mr. M. 8.

The people of Darlington are so neuseutod with the fumes and tur moil of iiolilics that they eagerly turn their minds to the energetic, hut less malignant strife of baseball. In fact the town is wild over the National game. Some of the cranks can tell you a great deal more aOout tl e peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of the different players than abont the mental gymnastics of the great State circus. The occasion of all the excitement was a series of three games with the Georgetown team on the local dia mond. Promptly as jar agreement the Georgetown team arrived in town on Friday for their lir.-t game, and a line lot of hall-tossers they are. In the first series between these clubs on Georgetown grounds, Darlington had the awful luck of losing the last two games, Isiih in the ninth inning by two wild throws when they ought to have won with ease, but they are happy at present for they have won two out of the three last games. All of the three games were fine exhibitions of scientific ball playing. The txhibitinn game that they played on Saturdsy for one-half of the gate receipts was not so good. George town won this game easily by uscore of 10 to. 3. The playing of the Georgetown team aroused such en- thiisiasm in their town that a crowd of cranks on Sunday chartered a train to Lane’s and came up from Florence in buggies to witness Mon day’s and Tuesday’s games. We re commend their spunk to all baseball towns, hut their judgment was very poor, as the record will snow: Friday’s game. This game was the best of the series. The bleachers and grand stand was well filled with cranks. For Darlington—Williamson led off with a base-hit, but the side was promptly retired and was goose-egged up to the seventh inning, but in this inning D. Bristow and Williamson succeeded in getting on bases when Butler knocked a home-run, scoring three runs for Darlington. Butler was presented with a purse and flowers. The next two innings they were shut out The playing of Bon- noitt was very flue. For Georgetown—Cummings led off with a base-hit and Harper got bis base on halls. ■ They both scored on T. Taylor’s two-bagger. Harper also scored in the fifth inning. In t’e seventh inning Cunmiuta got his base on errors and by daring playing succeeded in scoring the winning run. The battery work on both sides was yery good. The fol lowing is the score by innings: 123456789 Darlington....O 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 —3 Georgetown...O 0 2 0 1 0 1 0 ' —4 Base-hits—Darlington, 5; G jrge- towi>, 4.

Altendai ce—Three liuudrid. v Monday’s game. This game was also a good exhibi tion of ball-playing, and there was also a large crowd out, despite the threatening weather. For Darlington—Darlington was shut out up to the fifth inning when U. Bristow hit for one base. Reg ister also got his base and were brought in by Bonnoitt’s fine Lit to right field. At this stage the Dar lington boys caught on to Commings and wrapped him for five hits, net ting them six runs, which non the game. For Georgetown—G n m m i n g s knockvd the firs*, ball thrown over the plate for u home run. He also pitched a fine game, except the fifth inning, when he yielded live base hits. G. Taylor also sr -ed in the third and sixth, leaving i^escore C to 4 in Darlington’s favor. The following is the score by innings: 12 3 4 6 0 7 Darlington 0 0 0 0 6 0 0—6 Georgetown 2 0 f 0 0 1 0—4 Base-hits—Darlington, 7; George town, 0. Stnickout —Darlington, 7; Georgetown, 4.

This game was rather one-sided as Darlington won it, in tfie first in ning. Jennings and Schreck flayed line hull, as also did Morgan in left field. The feature of this game was the pitching o? Register and Butler. For Georgetown — Wilson made two double plays from n;ht field to first and ■ ecornl buses. Ai no 'tage of the game was the result very doubtful. The following is the score by innings: 123456789 Darlington....4 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1—7 Georgetown...© 0 0 0 1 -i 0 0 *—2 Base-hits—Darlington, 9; George town, 4. Struck out—Darlington, 7; Georgetown, 4.

There exists between the George- | town and Florence teams a strung | rivalry, and they agreed to pUv a I game on Darlington grounds to de cide w hich was the best team, so on Wednesday an excursion, consisting 9t two cwsliw, wm m Um ence to witness this game. So promptly at 5 o’clock the game was called by Umpire Boyd, who by the way is a first-class umpire. The at tendance was fine and excitement was at fever heat, but it was evident from the first that Florence would win by her splendid batting. Bntier anil Corniff lioth made a home run. But ler made the finest single-handed catch ever made on the grounds. For Georgetown—Bdnnoitt made a double play by himself, which was libera'ly applauded. H. Bristow made four base-hits. The following is the score by innings • 123456789 Florence. 2 0 1 3 1 0 5 1 0-13 Georgetown...! 0 0 0 0 2 0 3 1—7 OHTER GAMES.

In the death of Miss Agnes Foun tain the people of Darlington mourn the hiss of one of the best and most popular ladies that have eyer lived in their midst, and one whose many virtues deserves more than a passing notice. She was born and reared in the Riverdale neighborhood, former ly Mechanicsyillo, in which section her ancestors settled some time previ ous to the Revolutionary war, and was the oldest daughter of the late Capt. John Fountain. For over tweuty-fiye years she had resided in the town, and was very highly esteemed by every one who knew her. She was ever ready, with tireless and willing hands, to minister to the sick and suffering, and her loving words and tender ministrations to those who needed her services can never Ixj forgotten by the recipients of them. When quite young she con nected herself with the Presbyterian Church, and her religious life wus one of rare consistency and intense zeal in all the departments of Christian work. Her place in the church was never vacant except when hindered by sickness from l>e- ing present, and her presence at the services were almost considered as much a matter of course as those of the pastor himself. For some time her healtli had been bad, and for the past month or two it was evident to her friends that the end was not far off. To one who had led such a life diath had no terrors, and her eyes but closed on earthly scones to be opened amidst the glories of Paradise. Of her im mediate family only two sisters survive. Rmlulious of Respect. At a special conference of the members of the Baptist Church, belt! Sunday July 29th, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote: Whereas it. has pleased Onr Heavenly Father, in his infinite wisdom, to call our beloved brother and pastor, Rev. John Stout, from his labors of love to his home of rest, be it resolved: First. That in the death of brother Stout this church has lost a wise counsellor, a faithful minister of the Gospel and a conscientious zealous pastor; and each member a sympathetic and loving brother. Second. That brother Stout was pre-eminently qualified in mind and heart for the sacred office to which he gave his life, and his hand was seen and his wisdom felt in every department of church-work. Third. That we feel this chastise ment of Our Heavenly Father’s hand sorely, especially, as it comes at a tiine when the - Giture of our churrh-lilV ■■ '••ight. .nvi the t’.-N that I'Ouiui i.> a- e;.-’ ami people wav xu strong uiid tender; i but we humbly bow to the will of Him who makes no m stakes. Fourth. That we thaiik (tod that W9 buy# beep permitted to lit beneath the sound of his voice, to commune with his hopeful and gentle spirit, and to have before us such an example of devotion to duty. Fifth. That we extend to our beraved sister, the widow of our deceased brother, onr prayerful sympathy, that the God of all grace will sustain her in this great affliction. Sixth. That a page in our church record be inscribed to the memory of our deceased pastor, with the date of his birth and death. Seyenth. That these resolutions be published in the Baptist Courier, and in the county papers, and a copy be sent to the widow of our deceased brother. Extract from the minutes. J. E. Norm ent. Church Clerk. Naming a County. We have read with great interest the letter, published below, from Mr. LaCoste mid are very glad to give it, a place in onr columns. While there is ji good deal in what Mr. LaCoste says in regard to the name Salem, we beg fo remind him that however dear it may be to a pail of the resi dents of the proposed new county, to others it has no special sign!firm ce and is. to all intents and purposes, entirely local and would, outside of this particular coniiuimjty, have no meaning and no history. This being the case it must be apparent to every disinterested person that a name which would perpetuate the memory of some one of the States illustrious dead would be, in every way, more appropriate. The name Ebenezer is as dear to a good many people in Florence coun ty as that of Salem is to some of the residents of this proposed new coun ty, but as badly as onr neighbors missed it on the name of their county they would not have im proved matters by calling it Ebe nezer. Either of the names, Salem or Ebenezer would be very appropri ate for a church, but*not for a county or town. Take the historic names of Dar lington, Marion, Sumter, Horry and Pickens and compare them with the comparatively meaningless ones of Richland, Fairfield, Edgefield,Green ville, Union, Oconee and Florence, and where is the intelligent and patriotic citizen that would not chapge the names of the latter, especially with such names ifs Moul trie, Jaspar, Hayne, Rutledge, Pinck ney of Revolutionary times and of Calhoun, McDuffie, Lowndes, Legate, Hammond and others of a later period. Spartanburg has a statue, erected by Congress, <>f Gen. Daniel Morgan, the hero of Cowpens, but we can’t I help but wish that Congress had re fused to appropriate the money for the purpose unless the name of the county was changed to Morgan. The very mention of the names of these heroes should thrill the heart of eyery true son of the State and help to keep alive the memory of their grand struggle against tyranny. St. Charles, July 17, 1894. Mr. Editor: The name Salem is very dear to many of us who live in this part of ou r county. Some sacred memories and pleasant reminiscenses of a historical nature are connected with tiiat name. The Wilsons, Brad leys, Janies’ and Andersons, also some of the descendants of the godly and sainted Stephensons are dwelling on the banks of Black River. How did this name come about? In Hebrews, seventh chapter, latter part of second verse, we read, “King of Salem, which is king of peace.’ In the County of Williamsburg, at old ludiantown, there was a Presby terian Church divided into two war ring factions. After many years of bitter strife, a part of that* congre gation moved up on the waters of Black River in Sumter County, and settled in and around where Salem Brick Church now stands. This settlement was called Salem, in honor ■of “Salem King of peace and righteousne. ,” I hey were sa glad to have peace and harmony. In the year 1790, 3d day of June, in the City of Columbia, our fore fathers framed a Constitution. In this constitution Clarendon and Claremont have each two members in the House; combined they have one Senator. After this date we have three separate election districts in onr count} - , composed of Clarendon, Claremont and Salem—each having itsown Tax Collector, and one Sheriff, and one Clerk for (he three. After the Revolutionary War this county was named in honor of Gen. Sumter. Mr. D urant’s baby county will inherit an honored and revered name. S. D. M. La Cost*. Judicious Advertising.
