AFFAIRS IN DARLINGTON.
The Crops-A Memorial Tree-shooting
Burglar-The Weather.

IYaou oua TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
DARLINGTON, 8. G., August N.-The cotton
crop in Darlington County is fair, but the corn
is much injured for want Of rain. Corn will
have to be bought next season to some ex-
tent. There are very few farmers coming into
town, as they are now girding up their loins
for the picking and stealing season. Cotton
is opening rapidly, and the thriftless negroes
have already commenced to sacrifice their
small crops by selling it in the seed. As soon
ss they gather days pickings, they obtain
from seven to ten cents per pound for it..
II has become 30 much matter Of habit tor
our people to call themselves poor, that they
cannot give up this plea for the worlds syrhpa-
thy; but facts will tell, and as many, very many
OF them have gone 10 the eprings or to the
North, they must have some spare money, and
the probability Of good deal more from this
crop.
There are come evidences of life in this little
town, such as the building Of Jail, toWnhall
and market house. The courthouse is to be
rebuilt on the walls of the ground story, which
is still standing almost intact. In FROM OF the
ruins Of the old courthouse is sycamore tree,
upon which negro girl was hang during the
war foI incendlary language. This bas caused
this tree to be more than once stripped OF its
leaves by the Yankee soldiery, who sent tn m
North as mementoes.
Some OF the merchants are adding to the
capacity Of their stores One OF these, the wi.
lage baker, Schmidt, is putting an addition in
front OF his store. he occupies the second
story as dwelling, aod last night, being un.
able to sleep from sickness, he hesrd some one
endeavoring to effect an entrance into bic
store. he raised one OF the flooring boards
that had not yet been nailed down, and sho
one Of the party. As it was o moonlight mig Of
he could see indistinctly their number, SCI
aud color and says there was one negro mar
and either two white women or one white and
one negro woman. Schmidt had only one bar.
rel of bis pistol loaded. but he used this WITH
effect, shooting down the man, who recovered
from the scock, and, with the women, made
good his escape. good deal OF blood wal
found on the floor, but no clue to identity the
parties.
The weatheris still hot, with slight shower
last night. Some OF the mills have had to stoI
work for wons Of water. The ex-commissioneI
in equity is Just preparing to turn over his
papers, ETC., TO the clerk OF the court, who hat
not been able heretofore to tako them, through
some hitch in the Radical machinery. learn
that the tobacco wagner, who had his wagon
team and goods confiscated in Kiugslree, some
tea days since has returned from his home II
North Carolina with his license that he hao
lrelessly left behind him. He may now re
cover his effects. SEMLoH.

ANoE COMPANY, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT.
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was organized in 1885, in
consequence of the wholesale forfeiture Of Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled
Of the enterprise has forced several Of these
companies to restore their Sout'ern policies. from
the fact that they could not operate In our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up our
impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested in the State from which It de-
rived. The institution purely Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and
and sympathy Of every southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com.
panies. but to exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Compsny-foundsd on
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio Of assets to
liabilihes-the true test Of companys strength-is
second to none on this continent. being nearly $500
to $780,
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims Of this Company 1t has not only enlisted the
sympathies of people, but has also secured their
hearty cooperation. We have secured 600 policies
in South Carolina since the 10th Of February. We
number among our Directors General Wade Hamp-
ton and Colonel VIM. Johnston, gentlemen well
known to every citizen Of South Carolina. We sp-
peal personally to the people Of South Carolina to
assist In pushing forward this deservediy popular
Southern institution. j. II. MILLER,

FRAUDS IN THE corroN TRADE.

LONDON, August s0.-The Times to-day in a
Manchester Cotton Trade Report says that it
Is admitted that the returns of the sales Of
cotton at Liverpool we're falsifed every day
last week. The figures really amounted to
little more than half those given to the public,
and, IS the result, there is something like
panic at Manchester, and for the present there
is no disposition to do business either on the
part OF the sellers or the buyers.
