Opening of tire Darlington
Tobacco Warehouse,
Darlington had her first "break0
4a tobacco on Tuesday September 25,
%nd a great break it was. Over
?forty thousand .pounds were swld.
Tuesday wan the opening day for
sales iu the Darlington Tobacco
warehouse. The occasion bad been
looked forward to with great .inter
est not only by people in and about
(Darlington, but by the tobacco
powers in the neighboring counties
and by buyers iu this and other
States, consequently when tiie great
day arrived there w?s a large crowd
gathered at the warehouse anxious
to see Darlington's first sale.
The tobacco was placet! upon the
?oor in piles, each pile being labelled
with its weight and the name of its
owner The warehouse was filled
with-tobacco thus .piled in heap-. Iti
was a novel sight to our people and
many who were not .personally inter
ested iu tobacco were pleased specta
tors.
There were ? large number of buy
ers, from tFlorence, Virginia and
>orth Carolin?. Tl?e sales begar:
about eleven o'clock. Mr. G. E.
Webb, the auctioneer, is a "hostler." i
Tie followed up the 'bids of the j
buyers with a sonorous ^ofce aoS j
with a rapidity aud volubility that
?azed the novice *an? wystrliedj the j
uninitiated. He went through the j
rpdes with a wish, followed closely J
iy the buyers, aud l>y shortly after:
one o'clock he had K?eo|p?e?ed the!
sale of the entire hit.
Going through the piles we piofeed
out a number -of sales for .prtblicatron.
We made the aeleccions arbitrarily
with no reference *?> total amounts ;
Consequently in many cases the;
{price we give that a Kran (?btained for
a lot may not be the highest price he;
Teceived nor. tor the same reason,:|
lhe lowest, but just the price for lhatJ
particular lot. We merely selected
.sales at random, in order that oar
readers may see the various jmces

the tobaoeoetn? was grown in this
county there was a good supply from
{Florence county and some from Sum
terand Marlboro. From the sales
we give it will be readily seen that
some of J>)arr>iigton county's best

The|average price may be safely
placed at 10 cents per pound. It is
estimated that there are one thousand
acres in this county planted in tobac- j
co and the yield per acre is about
one thousand pounds, which at 10 j
cents a pound, w?ll bring $10o per I
acre or $100,006 This sum made |
out of tobacco in this county during j
the year, when tobacco is yet but a
aide issue, speaks for itself. Promt
Bent tobacco men from this section
and from North Carolina say that laud
in this country can yield fifteen huit- !
dred pounds of tobacco per acre,
which is equivalent at 'he average j
price of ten cents, U) $150 p**r acre j
This beats cotton by far. Verily, to
bacco is a bonanza. Of course with
our inexperience in the cultivation <>f
tobacco, we cannot expect it* raise an \
average of fifteen hundred pounds to
ihe acre just yet, but one thousand i
pounds to the acre we can {raise and
this puts the weed far ahead of the !
fle?cy staple. Indeed it i?? said that !
/>ur country is much better adapted !
to tobacco than North Carolina, j
where the highest yield does not ex !
ceed one thousand pounds to tin* j
acre. ]

HOW A WOMAN CAUGHT A THIEF.
It XVum on Shipboard, tend She Nearly
Scratched His Kyos- Out.
When you can't set a thief to catch a
thief the next best thing to put on his
trail is a woman. A woman who bas ,
recently returned" from Rio Janeiro tells
with great glee how during the voyage
to this port she caught a thief who had
been pilfering all the passengers' cabins,
and until she took him in hand had suc
cessfully-eluded the detective tactics of
the entire crew, from the captain down
to the cabin Ik>v.
"We had about thirty passengers on
board when we left Rio," said this ama
teur detective, "and a very nice lot of
people they were too. For the first two
or three days out everybody was so busy
getting seasick that we hadn't time to
think of anything else.
"But after that, when we were com
mencing to revive -a'bit, first ono woman
.and then another would come on deck
with a face as long as your arm and re
j>ort -that some one had been in her cabin
^during the night and had stolen some of
ther jeweiry. For.a day or two the cap
tain pooh poohed the ddea, -but finally
the complaints ibecame so frequent that
tliere <was no gainsaying them. The
thief, -whoever ;hewas, seemed to ha<ve
a passion "for rings.
"By the end of the ;?rSt^veek there
Twas scarcely a woman on board except
myself who wasn't mourning the toss:of
at least one. A watch was set anfi-every
^possible {precaution taken, but without
the slightest effect. Every morning a*t
Jeast one passenger would report another
iioss. The men fared scarcely (better than
the women. At lastthingsjeached such
& pass that every woman <on iboard used
to ge^to-bed at ?night \with all her jew
?elry on.
'<Qne fat old ?Sparrisn -woman, <whose
husband owned a gold mine somewhere,
usedtogoto bed in a regular-blaze of
glory. Her fingers and arms, almost up
to her elbows, were covered with gems,
and she used to pxit-on her'diazncndioor
onet and then wind -a tcwel mbout iher
brow, so that the ?robbar coulent .possi
bly drag the coronet ?ff w?thont taking
her head i&s well. I used to hear the
poor ol2 thing groaning aK through the
night. Sire must hj?^ 'been dreadfully
uncomfortable. Well, finally ^cmecngbt
my turn came. I had a-cabin ?te airy self
and had taken the upper <berth from
2hoice. ?One night I awokeand ifelt cer
tain I heare some^one 3noving about the
room.
"My right-ann-was hanging over the
side of tho berth when I woke up, and
by this time i was in such a stage of
tfright that I didn't care to move it. I
Jfoift 'believe I moved a muscle. And
all this time, mind you, I felt instinc
tively that this man, or whoever it was
that was in the room, was grafvcally
drawing nearer and nearer. Suddenly
I felt a hand touch my hand and pull
gently at ono of my rings. For .abtrat an
instant I thought I'd die. Then?lt cf.a
j sudden something inside of me seemed
j to say, 'Scream and scratch ? Just then
the man let go of my hand for a mo
ment.
-"The rings, ho evidently saw, were .a
pretty tight J?t, d it would take some
time and skill to get them off without
waking mc. I waited breathlessly, say
tag my prayers to myself over and over,
it must have been fully five minutes be
fore he touched ray hand again, and
during that time, in spite of my fright,
i had sense enough left to comprehend
that if 1 wanted to catch the thief I
most scratch first and scream afterward.
And that's just what I did. I waited
until he had g#t bis operation well under
way again. Then I nerved myself*.
* ? knew the direction in whkl his
face was, because I could feel his breath
on my hand as he leaned over it. I drew
a Jong breath, and letting my hand fly
ont I scratched him with ail my might
across tho face, ami then shrieked with
all my lungs. The next instant every
body came tumbling into my room, but
the thief had vanished. We could not
find so much as a trace of him. After
the excitement had subsided I took the j
captain aside and o?jd him to look out j
j for a man with scratches on his face the
I next morning. At breakfast everybody I
turned up except one very engaging I
yoxmg man, who had been quite the lion
of the ship. He had been suddenly taken
ill, the steward said.
"The steward also reported that he lay
in his berth with his face turned toward
the wall.
" 'Ah, ha!' Faid the captain, tippingme
the wink, "I'm something of a doctor, j
i think LT1 go and have a look at this
young man.'
"Well, hp. went, and thereon his face,
cure enough, were the scratches, four of
them, and fine long, deep ones the cap
tain said they were too. Subsequently
the young felloe broke down and made
& confession, and restored all the articles
he had stolen. He was put in irons and
handed over to the police as soon as we
arrived here. By this time 1 suppose
tho poor fellow is in Sim; Sing."?New

Digging for Diamond? in India.
In India diamonds aro found in allu
vial workings and in the original gangue
or bedrock. So far diamonds have been
found in situ, both in the upper and
lower Vindhyan rocks. These consist
of a series of shales, limestones and
sandstones, cut up and much mixed with
intrusions of trap. A species of con
glomerate made up of what looks like
felted hornblende, with embedded peb
bles of jasper, serpentine, quartz and
sandstones is the matrix in which the
diamond is found.
When exposed to the action of the
weather, as in shallow workings, this
conglomerate is of a rusty brown color
and very friable, so that it can be readi
ly broken arid the gangue washed away,
leaving the pebbles, which are of a
white, red, blue and green color. A
load of gangue yields about a quart of
pebbles, and if from this a carat weight
ot diamonds "is recovered the mine is
considered worth working.
Overlying the diamond conglomerate
.are beds of hard sandstones and shales,
which have to be cut through before the
diamond gangue is iaet. In the deep
mines the gangue as *cxtremely hard
And tough and of a green bltie<color. It
requires months of exposure *to the at
mosphere and frequent sprinklings with
water beforo the matrix 'becomes sufl?
cie?try .friable to obtain the pebbles
without breaking them.
All -attempts to'crush the matrix>with
out destroying tho included diamonds
have hitherto failed, and owing to the
long delay before the .results are known,
the native? seldom work the conglomer-!
ato in tho Tock -workings unless it is
somewhat decomposed and softened -by
*?he -weather. The pebbles are -about the
size of hazelnuts -and are generally
opaque. The .presence of green ;pebbles
is considered a good sign by the native
miners.?Alining and Engineering. j

Scaring a TVic?r-cd ?oy?
One of the irrepressible small boys o?
the tough species started in to haro J
some fun in a crowded car on the .Sixth
avenne -elevated road the other night.
He sat in the middle of the car and first
attracted ?attention by mowing like a
cat. Thea he yelped like a dog and
grunted like ? pig. At first his noises
caused a smile, but their persistent rep
etition caused annoyance, which in
creased with each succeeding noise.
The mewing, the yelping and the grant
ing becamo so aggravating that each
man in the car felt that he would like
to throw the boy out of the window.
Manly dignity, however, forbade their
getting into un altercation with a small
boy. But there was one person in tho
car who was not restrained by manly
dignity. That person was of the femi
nine gender, a trifle advanced in years,
but with a muscular figure and a stern
expression on her face.
She tried for several minutes to silence
the boy with frowns and gestures, but
those were of no avail. When her pa
tience reached its limit she stretched out
one arm. and seizing the boy by tho col
lar exclaimed in a wrathful voice: "Sec
here, my lad, you stop your yelping and
your grunting right away or I'll give
you. something to yelp and grunt for.
Do you hear me?'' The boy was as quiet
as a kitten for the rest of the journey.?
