The NEW DARLINGTON ACADEMY.-The cid
Darlington Academy building has been torn
down, and the foundation dug for a handsome
new building, upon its site. The former build
ing, besides being too small to accommodate
the large number of pupils in attendance, was
insuficiently ventilated and unsuited for q
modern school. 1t was hoped that the new
Academy would be ready by the time the
schools will be opened in September next, but
this will not be possible, and the Town Hall
will be fitted up and used for school purposes
until the new one is finished well is also
being bored through solid rock, which was
struck at depth of two or three feet below the
surface.
The Lew building will cost between $500
and 81 900, perhaps more. or this amount the
County Commissioners have voted. TO levy
$500. The remainder, to the amount of
50, 600 or more, has been generously promised
by Mr.. D. C. Wharton Smith, one of Darling
toms most public-spirited benefactors. The
citizens of Darlington and Its vicinity are under
many obligations to Mr.. Smith for the substan-
tial aid and encouragement he has given to
many local enterprises, but none of them will
reflect more credit upon him or add more to
his claims upon his fellow citizens than the
rebuilding of this Academy.
