Darrau and the Democracy.

The work of the Congressional Conven-
tion at Florence on Wednesday was well
done. Congressman Dargan is to be con-
graduated upon his denomination, and the
people of the 9th District are to be congrat-
ulated that they have SO worthy and compe'
tent representative.
Mr.. Dargan, however, was not nominated
without very formidable opposition. Three
most excellent and thorough-goins Demo
Gratis were willing to take his place at Wash
ington. any one Of whom would make an
acceptable Congressman. They made tar
fight for the nomination, and, when they
had been fairly beaten, the vote Tor MI
Darean was made unanimous. Col. Blue,
Mr.. Newton, and Col. Benbow, with tLelr
respective friends, will now so into the cam
paign solidly for Dargau, which means his
election in November in spite OF any fac
tious opposition tnat may be organized.
All this is, Of course. very gratifying to
Mr.. Dargan and very reassuring to the
Democracy, but it must not be forgotten
anywhere that Mr.. Dargan's denomination
was due more largely to his political strength
and to his consistent course in Congress
than his personal popularity. Mr.: Dargan
is Democrat, and is in thorough accord
with the faith and policy of his party. He
is an earnes. supporter of the democratic
Administration and an ardent believer in
the political integrity OF President Cleve-
land. He is in harmony with the Democ-
racy on the great living, distinctive issues
of the day and has been honored by his
Democratic constituents as he deserved to
be honored.
# during his service in Congress Mr..
Dargan had gone astray on the question OF
tariff reform; if his course on the silver
issue had not been in sympathy with the
best interests Of the country; If he had
used his position as representative 20 an
tagonize the Administration and to deimme
the President. we believe that he would not
have been renominated. The Democracy Of
the Pee Dee are brave and resolute and con-
sistent. They have honored Mr.. Darsan IN
recognition Of his consistent political course
in the past, and because they know that
they can rely upon him in the future to
stand with the party and by the President
on oil questions involving political prin-
ciple.
It would be a very safe rnlo for the party
to adopt that its representatives, shall stend
or fal! by their record.-AerS and Courier.

A Panther Seen.

In the little Pee Dee swamp, mile or so
above Dillon, between Marion and Flor
ence, panther was seen by q gentleman
whose veracity is above dispute, one even
ing last week It is believed that the pan
ther is female, and that she has young
ones somewhere in the neighborhood. OF
course the report Of such creature being
abroad has made quite a sensation among
the people in that locality, and hunt was
organized, of which we have not heard the
result .-Slunte, 4AdrQ1ce.

The United States Senate has just
passed a bill to reimburse the depos-
itors in the Freedman's Savings Bank
an institution which, it vii, be re-
membered, failed some years ago.
The failure was the result not only
OF gross mismanagement, but OF cor
rupt practices, and those who made
deposits were undoubtedly induced
by the apparent endorsement of the
institution by the government OF the
United States. S1,OoO,OOO has been
appropriated. The bill has not yet

Geo. w. Dargan.


in Florence last Wednesday, and or
ganised by electing Mr.. Jas. E. Davis,
of Clarendon, chairman. Four candi-
dates were nominated: Col. II. l..
Benbow, Col Blue, G. ". Dargan,
and e. b. Newton.
On first ballot the vote stood: New
ton 5, Benbow Z, Blue 10, Dargan 10.
By Counties Newton got FIVE votes
from Marlboro; Belbow got six from
Clarendon, and one from Williams
burg, IN all seven; Blue got ten from
Marion; Dargan got ten from Dar-
hngton, two from Williamsburg, one
from Marlboro, and six from Horny,
in all nineteen. Necessary to choice
81.
It VIII be noticed Clarendon Ma
rion, and Darlington each stood solid
BY their candidates, but Marlboro
few the track, and one Of her dele
gates voted for Dargan.
On second ballot there was no
change. The convention then took a
recess
,sOa third ballot there was consider
able change. Dr.. Byrd, of Williams
burg, who had led Col. Benbow to be-
ieye that he would not only get. bis
individual vote, but that also of his
delegation, few the track, and with
the two other Williamsburg delegates
voted for Dargan. Two others of
Marlboro, three in all, forsook Mr..
Newton and voted for Dargan. Ma
non left Blue and voted for Newton.
Clarendon, Darlington, and Horny
stood firm to their first choice. By
votes the ballots stood: Newton 13,
Benbow 6, Dargan %, resulting in
Mr. Dargan's election. Had the vii
hamsburg delegation stood, as prom
lsed, to Col Benbow, be would have
been elected on fifth ballot. Marion
had determined to cast her vote twice
for Blue, twice for Newton, and then
her ten votes would have come to
Benbew. It was understood from
the first that Blue and Newton could
not be elected, and the vote for them
was complimentary. Then on the
fifth ballot Marlboro would have
probably given Benbow three Newton
votes, which with Williamsburg's
three snd Clarendon's six, would have
given Col Benbcw twenty-five, and
elected him. Williamsburg held the
balance of power. and, as stated last
week, could not be depended on.
Mr. Dargan is very popular in Clar-
endon, and next to o county man,
our people prefer him for congress
man.
There was no trading between Ma
non and Darlington, Marion being as
strongly opposed to Dargan as ever.
The Washington correspondent Of
: the Nescs & Cous.ier has this to say OF
Mr Dargan:
Representative Dargan has been over
whelmed with congratulations upon his re,
nomination for fourth term in Congress,
and his many friends in this vicinity COM
mend the good judgment Of the people of
3 the 9Th District in this connection. Dir.
Dargan's popularity in the House has in
creased steadily since his first term, and he
is now regarded as one of the most valuable
members Of that body. He, occupies inhu-
ential positions on several important COM
rrittees, and should the Democrats contin-
ne IN control Of the House during the 51st
Congress. he stands good chance of being
placed at the head OF one OF the standing
committees.

SANITARY SCIENCE.
Ignorance of Its Principles the Cause OF
Countless Deaths.

Ignorance of Its Principles the Cause OF
Countless Deaths.
In his census reports, DR. Billings
estimates that in the United States, one
thousand deaths occur every year from
strictly preventable diseases alone.
This is unquestionably very moderate
estimate, and, if there are reckoned
also twelve cases of serious illness for
every death, we see what a great
amount of suffering results from igno-
rance of sanitary principles.
But how is this ignorance manifest
ede Are not our architects competent
to deal with the problem of household
sanitation 1t will be said, perhaps,
that it is the province of the architect
to direct the entire work of house,
building, and to arrange every detail
of the fittings. But it should be con-
sidered that the science of sanitation
is broad and comprehensive. Years of
study and experience in sanitary work
are necessary for "a proper understand
ing of the subject. 1t is, perhaps, I'M
fortunate that there is so little in the
severe and unpleasant details of thi S
work to commend it to those
whose tastes have led them to
the study of more attractive
principles of artistic construc-
ton and the science of aesthetics.
An architect should have the soul of
an artist, but there are few men whose
nature is so broad as to combine truly
artistic tastes with love for the de-
tails of difficult mechanical work in
volving the necessity for undertaking
comprehensive and scientific research.
1t is the province of the engineer to
engage in an occupation of this kind.
His natural inclinations and his rigid
training in scientific pursuits fit him
especially for the direction of matters
relating to drainage and sewage dis
posal. = William E. Hoyt, S. B., IN Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Furnishing Dishonest Bank Clerks.

new method of furnishing dis
honest bank clerks is now being tried
in a certain institution of that kind in
New York. Some time ago clerk S
accounts were Investigated and he was
found TO be several thousand dollars
short. To remove and prosecute the
man would have been troublesome and
apt to hurt the reputation of the bank,
so they made him stay, as if nothing
had happened, but have placed him in
such position that he can take no
more, and informed his fellow clerks
of the defalcation. He is avoided by
the insiders, and his position is about
as disagreeable as can well be i'm
agined. Constantly under surveil-
lance, he will work out in time the
amount he has taken, and will then be
discharged.

AMUSING BlUNDERS.
The Work of Competitors Who Had
Keen Sense of Humor.

The Work of Competitors Who Had
Keen Sense of Humor.
Compositors are not immaculate, and
some blunders which have found their
way into print may bear repeating. A
parson who preached a fairly good SER
mon, but wrote a villainous hand, was
shocked to find a sentence that should
have read: 'sBut sorrow not, nor grieve;
take the final steps now, and sin no
MORE appear in print as: Take the
final stiffs now" etc. The shipping
community were amazed to learn some
time ago that 1.-The schooner Jessie Lee
left last night with a cargo of cats. y
When the marine editor, who had writ
ten oats, saw this he felt grieved. A
literary woman who writes about philos-
ophy and Buddhist poetry and things of
that sort, is very choice in her lam
guage. A short time ago she wrote "a
couple of paragraphs about Emerson,
in which she said that gentleman was
the interchangeable ..keeper of a diary
The compositor, who, doubtless, was an
old and trusted friend of the philosoph-
ical gentleman, knew better, and the
readers were gravely informed that
Emerson was the interchangeable .'heifer
of dairy" A poet whose writing is
like nothing in the heaven above nor
anywhere else, once wrote:
Statesmen. princes, rulers ALL
And was doubtless surprised when he
found the line printed:

A dramatic critic in handsome
notice of charming young actress,
whose treatment of Portia afforded him
much pleasure said: Her love for Por-
tia made acting easy" That was all
right, but what the types made him say
was: Her love for porter" An art
critic, in writing favorably of picture
by BizZaro, was shocked to find that by
some means known only to the COM
position and proof-reader the following
sentence had got into the criticism:
'13, 1885, 70 shows one of the finest in

said: Eye were born to suffer as We

it been written: No cross, no crown -

''It's a singular fact than IN some
families most of the members die at
about the same age, and If you can
keep tracks of their birthdays you can
generally know when to expect a job a

WHO Is THIS FAiL1
An Ubiquitous Character Whose Identity
is Shrouded I'm Mystery.

An Ubiquitous Character Whose Identity
is Shrouded I'm Mystery.
Come without Fail" Such is often
the final remark as two persons sepa-
rate. the closing paragraph of a letter,
or the emphatic substance of a tele-
gram. Who is this individual Fail
whom every one seems DESTROYS should
DE left behind? What has he done that
he should be perpetually snubbed9
Does Fail persist in pushing himself in
continually where he is not wanted?
Is he offensive when he does Gomez
What's the matter with Fail?
We confess that we don't know Fail
Indeed, from a remark once dropped
by a distinguished Cardinal, we've been
led to believe that there no such word
as Fail, but it seems there is, else why
should he be named so persistentlyP
He must be person of some impor-
lance and consideration to warrant so
much notice as is given him univers-
ally.
We are inclined to think that Fail is
dealt unjustly by sometimes. A bus
mess arrangement is in progress, for
instance, in which Fail is interested.
A meeting is called to consider i'm
portant points in its conduct. A notice
is sent out urging all to come without
Fail" Clearly, there is some con-
spiracy against Fail.
A gentleman invites friend to dine
with him. Now" he says, in part
ing, "be sure and come without Fail"
dwelling significantly on the last two
words. The chances are that Fail
doesn't know the person who gives
the dinner, and if he is equally
unknown to the gentleman invited
the remark was "a gratuitous insult to
the latter, for what gentleman could
be expected to bring stranger TO dine
at his friends house?
A wife telegraphs her absent hus-
band during some critical turn in do
nestle affairs-''Come without Fail. ="
We can imagine in such an instance
how the caution might be perfectly
justifable. Fail is husbands boon
companion. He has often helped her
husband home nights when he
had "a jag on, and is there
| fore obnoxious to the wife.
Husband sometimes brings Fail home
with him to dinner without notice, and
she is sure his company is deleterious.
She hates Fail cordially, and when she
telegraphs her husband to come she
adds without Fail"
We can imagine the perplexity of Il
lover on receiving message from his
| MISTRESS:
| Come tonight dearest, without Fail
| JULIA.

In the habit of bringing Fail or any other
man when call on my sweetheart? WhC
the deuce is Failp | don't know Fail
and don't want to know him. But
will hunt him up. l will know who il
is that Julia calls Fail so Familiarity
not even putting Mister to his name
Without Fail! indeed! This terrestrial
hemisphere will be without Fail if
catch him.
And SO it goes. Poor Fail! TIL,

undeserving of the snubs he gets. Blu
