Death OF Gen. Darlington.

NEwBERRY, March 29.-Gen. A G..
Darlington died at his home in this
County on Friday, the 9th inst, aged
about 62 years. The funeral services
were held this afternoon at Rosemont
Cemetery at this place.
Gen. Darlington was lawyer of great
ability, and at one time was prominent
in the political history of the State. An
able advocate and learned in the law, be
was successful practitioner. For sew
eral years he had not been actively en-
gagged in the practice, but had been lead
ing quiet life on his farm in this County.
His remains will not be inferred until
to. morrow when his son, Lieut.. Earnest
A. Darlington, of the United States
army, is expected.
Gen. Darlington was Secretary of the
interior in the Cabinet Of Governor +.
w. Pickens, of South Carolina, in No
vember, 1860. When active hostilities
began be commanded battalion in the
operations around Charleston in 1862
In his report of the engagements Of the
Hampton Legion in March, 1862, Major
Palmer called particular attention to the
gallant part taken by Major Darlington,
who was throughout his service in the
army a safe officer and brave soldier.
After the war Gen. Darlington removed
TO Atlanta and resided there for some
time. He returned to this State several
years ago and althoug h he took an ac-
tive part in local politics, he was not
prominently identified with the great
political movement in this State during
the past six or eight years.

In the nomination of Gen. Joseph E..
Johnston TO be Railroad Commissioner,
the President has evinced an indepen.

Some of the States are establishing q
new holiday, or rather day set apart to
q special work. Eight States now have
this new day which they term "Arbor
Day" It's intent is to provide one day
in the year. set apart to the planting Of
trees, and thus replenish the immense
annual destruction of forests which are
entailing so much injury upon the coun-
try. Through the observance of arbor
days many thousands of trees are planted
every year. In several of the States the
public and private schools are incited to
become helpers in this work, and teachers
and scholars spend one day in April both
pleasantly and proftably in planting new
trees. This is an excellent idea, and
should become general throughout the
Union. BY this means the forests of our
country, which are being rapidly destroy
ed by the extension of cultivation, could
be replaced in more advantageous timber,
and in better locations. 1t would supply
in the course of time beautiful groves of
shade around our dwellings, and add
greatly to the health and comfort of the
inhabitants. This system is not likely to
give the greatest blessings to the genera
ton which plants the trees; but we live
for posterity in large measure anyway,
and by this means the beauty, the health
and the pleasure of living in State can
be greatly increased. The idea is an
excellent one.

Cattle and Cotton Seed.

Instead of buying less meat eac year,
it is plain the South is annually sending
more money to the Northwest in payment
of meats. In several of the Southern
States it is we'll known that there are
fewer COWS and fewer sheep than there
were in the census year. This is certain.
ly the case in Mississippi and Louisiana,
and probably in some ether States. One
Chicago packer, says the Louisville Home
and Farm, shipped to the South during
the first seventeen days of January last
s., 100000 pounds of meat. as against
19.99O,00O pounds for the corresponding
time of 1884. He also shipped more
barrels of pork by4,0O0, and more tierces
of lard by 5000. These facts show where
the great drain of money from this Sec
tion leads to, and they should incite every
man who desires the prosperity of the
Southern country to find some remedy
that will fit the case.
A correspondent Of the Planters Jour.
nal, published in Vicksburg, claims that
an ample remedy can be found in the
use of cotton seed as feed stuff. An ex,
pertinent, he says, "made at the A. and
NJ. College in feeding cotton seed to cattle
showed that flesh could be put on cattle,
even in midwinter, for less than two cents
per pound. By this means. if fed to
cattle on the plantation, the seed will pay
S35 to $40 per ton. In my County not q
ton of seed is sold to mills; all is bought
by cattle men, and they have paid this
winter aud fall $6 per ton at the gin, and
some of it is hauled fifteen miles to the
cattle ranches.
"While 1 do not know how long the
hulled seed, with the oil in it, could be
fed to mules without hurt, l do know of
man who fed pair OF fancy horses on
it for three months, and they did we'll
and had nice coat of hair"
The small planter can buy beef cattle
off of grass in September for two and a
half cents per pound gross, and by feed
ing them cooked cotton seed and hay tor
two months he can put on about 250
pounds of flesh and sell them for 5 to 81
cents gross, or profit of about $50 on
each steer. Professor F. A. Gulley says
that cotton seed meal is worth double
corn meal for food for stock. The oil in
the seed is good food !; and he says the
hogs get fat when picking up the cooked
cotton seed where cattle are fed.
If indeed there is truth in these state.
ments of facts, it is worth the while OF
any farmer to begin the work of produc'
ing meat at least for his own use. Ii we
can make our beef and pork from cotton
seed, it is high time we began to do it.
The oil mills do not take over ten per
cent. of the crop of seed, and if we feed
the rest of it to cattle and hogs, we would
not materially decrease the fertilization
material, while ne would retain at home
great sum of money that is now handed
over each year to Chicago packers

The British Government is really be.
set with troubles. In addition to the
Irish and Soudau difficulties, the govern
mens has for some time past been on the
verge of war with Russia, to settle dis
pute as to the boundary line in Afghan
istan. There would be war over this
conflict Of claim to territory between
these two great powers, but for the fact
that the embarrassed condition of Rus
sian finances will not permit that empire
to engage in war, where any other set
Element is possible. Therefore tits likely
this threatened conflict will be adjusted
without q conflict at arms. In Canada,
however, the government is confronted
by a live and vigorous rebellion, led in
the Northwest by shrewd and deter
mined half:breed Indian, named Riel.
The country there is sparcely inhabited,
and it is difficult to reach the. rebels.
The Canadian government is calling out
the forces of the Dominion to meet the
rebellion, but so far the followers of Riel
have been more than match for the
government troops. England will have
to crush this insurrection, or it may grow
to such proportions as to lose her the
British possessions in North America.
Altogether, the government of Great
Britain has more threatening and an
moving difficulties on hand than any Of
the greater powers at this time.

Too Good to be True.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 26.-Near
Wadesboro, N. c., on Tuesday evening,
a tramp called at house occupied by
two ladies and asked for lodging. They
at first refused his request, but finally
agreed to lock him in closet, where ne
was to remain all night. About IL
O'Clock the ladies were walked up by a
negro, who threatened to kill them il
they made an outciy, and demanded
money, which one of the ladies said she
would get. She then went to the closet
and unlocked the door, when the tramp,
who had heard the whole conversation,
sprang out, pistol in hand The negro
started to run, but the tramp fired, kill
ing him instantly. Shortly after it was
discovered that the negro was q white
man who had blackened himself and in
yaded the house. He was recognized as
a near neighbor of the ladies.

Georgia has been so successful in Sc
curing Federal offices that she begins to
feel like she owned the President in a
measure. On last Monday Senators
Brown and Colquitt, of Georgia, and
Henry w. Grady, one of the proprietors
of the Atlanta Constitution, called upon
the President for the purpose OF
inviting him to Atlanta on the occasion
of the meeting of the Commercial Con-
yention there in May. The President
expressed much interest in the Conven'
lion. and said he would talk with the
members Of the Cabinet about the pro.
posed trip. Senators Brown and Colquit
will 20 before the Cabinet at its next
meeting, and formally lay before it the
invitations to the National Commercial
Convention ana urge its acceptance.
Mr.. Lamar, Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Endi-
colt have promised to use their influence
to get the President, and Mr.. Randall is
with him tonight on the same mission.
Everything confirms the belief that the
President and several members OF the
Cabinet will be in Atlanta on the 2lst OF
Nav.

Taking Care of the Body.

The Christian ndc1, the leading organ
of the Baptist Church in the South, pub
lished in Atlanta, Ga, in its issue of Dec.
4, 1884, has the following editorial:
Too many people seem to think that a
religious newspaper should be confined
to the discussion of moral and religious
subjects only, forgetting that religion has
to do both with the bodies and souls Of
men. "Proye all things, hold fast that
which is good" has as much to do with
the practical side of life as it has with the
moral side. Our readers will bear testi-
mony that in all questions discussed in
the indcr, the practical has bee: duly Sc:
forth. In this paragraph, therefore, we
ONLY seek to present an article worthy of
commendation. After subjecting it to
the above test we have tried Swift's Spe
cific and found it good-good as blood
purifier. good as a health tonic. In this
opinion we are sustained by some of the
best men in the church. Rev. Jesse IL.
Campbell, the Nestor of the Baptist de-
nomination in Georgia, says: 1T is my
deliberate Judgment that Swift's Specific
is the grandest blood purifier evor discOv-
cred. It's effects are wonderful, and
consider them almost miraculous. There
is 10 medicine comparable to it, DR..
II. c. Hornady, one of the best known
ministers in our church, says: "Swift's
Specific is one of the best blood purifiers
in existence"
These brethren speak advisedly: But
few preparations can bring forward such
endorsements. The Index desires only to
endorse these statements. We have
witnessed the benciicials of this medicine,
not only in our own households, but in
several other cases where seemingly all
other remedies had failed. It is purely
vegetable compound, scientifically pre-
pared, and perfectly harmless in its COM
position. It rcnews the blood and builds
up broken down systems-gives tone and
vi igor to the constitution, as well as re-
stores the bloom of health to the suffer-
ing. Therefore, we do not deem it incon-
sistept with the duties of religious
journal to say this much in its behalf.

A Washington dispatch Of the 9th

a washington olspaecn ol INC @fln
inst, says:
The President to-day decided to ap-
point N. J. Coleman, of St. Louis, Mo-,
Commissioner of Agriculture. Coleman
is about sixty years of age. He is Editor
of Goleman's Rural World, and was se-
lected at the earnest solicitation of Sena.
tor Cockrell. Representative Aiken, Of
South Carolina, Robert Beverly and ex'
Senator Withers of Virginia, were his
leading competitors. Senator Cockrell
called at the White House early this
morning, when it was agreed that Cole
mans nomination should go in to-day.
An hour later Col. Beverly called to ad.
wise the President to select practical
agr;culturalist and to oppose the selection
of Withers. He was informed that such
man as he suggested had already been
chosen for the place.
Mr.. Coleman had not been prominently
mentioned in connection with the posi-
tion, but is doubtless we'll qualified for
the discharge of its duties. The Presi-
dent seems determined to make his
appointments from among the applicants
who have practical fitness for the duties
Of the Office to which they aspire, without
reference to the political Offices they have
held. This administration is not to be
made an asylum for the support of broken
down politicians, but the Offices are to 60
to men who are competent to fill them.

Miss Cleveland as Hostess.

WAsHINGToN, March 2S.-Every day
from IL to l Miss Cleveland receives
those persons who desire 10 call upon her
without encountering the crush Of Satur-
day. As it is extremely quiet and infor-
NAL the gay and noisy people keep away.
Cards are handed to the usher, who
escorts visitors to the door of the glass
screen separating the main hall from the
corridor communicating with the east
room, the green, red and blue rooms.
Here another usher takes the card, reads
the name, inquiries how it is pronounced
and if there is a party, how the names
belong, and he then shows visitors into
the red room. He taps on the door as
he enters so that Miss Cleveland knows
somo one il about to enter. She is par.
ticular to get the names right-a point
of coed breeding not always attended to
even in good society. Of her power of
entertaining easily and gracefully there
is no question. She is very unaffected
and has an excellent and cultivated voice
in speaking. Besides, she has great
amount OF we'll arranged information,
and can meet people on their own ground.
She remains standing and her guests are
not invited to sit. Perhaps if they did
they would find things so pleasant aud
social they would stay too long. The
red room is beautiful and home.like
apartment. Opposite the open fire
place is singularly fine life.size por.
trait of General Grant. which, at this
time, is invested with a pathetic interest.
Everybody recognizes it, and stops to
look at it. The room is never crowded,
and Miss Cleveland's sensible way of be.
coming acquainted with the persons she
will have to associate with for the next
four years is universally commended.

The New York Sun condemns the
appointment of Mr.. Phelps as Minister
to England, and says: "Not only is Mr..
Phelps outside the sphere of Democracy
as it exists in the free air Of the Green
Mountains, but he is outside as it exists
in any and every part of the United
States. He has never mingled in poll
tics says the Republican, "for he has
little sympathy with our manners and
methods in such things, often declaring
that he prefers the English system.
He believes in monarchy, and not in
Republican methods and manners of
government. Such merely nominal and
superficial Democracy as that of Mr..
Phelps, and such radical faith in the
English system of monsrchical rule may
commend him TO the aristocrats of Great
Britain, a, they seem already to commend
him to the aristocrats of Vermont; but
they can hardly win for him much SYM
pathy among the real and earnest Demo
Gratis Of the country"
