any troops come here. While here the
committee from Florence announced that
letter would be sent to Gov Tillman
advising him that the dispensary at
that place could not again be opened and
that the constables would not be toler-
ated there
THE DIsPENsARY NOT LOOTED.
The people of Darlington are deter
mined that no destruction to state prop
erty shall be permitted here and last
night when an effort was made to loot the
dlspensary, II was promptly resisted.
During the morning an effort was made
TO organize the citizens to resist
the country volunteers that Gov. Tillman
mas called for. Mayor Dargan and other
prominent citizens addressed the men and
advised them not to make any such dem
onstration, but TO remain perfectly quiet,
as the understanding was that Gov Till
man upon the advice of Gen. Farley,
would do nothing to excite the
people here, and that the military
would, underno circumstances, be allowed
TO come here. Gen. Farley was Of the
opinion that there was absolutely no oc-
casion for the bringing of the military.
The people here did not at all like the
idea Of having the Western Union Tele-
graph Office put under censorship at
Columbia on their account. With
all the posse back In the
city, all of the constables out
OF the county and the people bent upon
keeping the peace, comes the news that
800 troops from Columbia have started on
their way here. At this hour 60 o'clock
efforts are being made to have the troops
return to Columbia on the grounds that
their presence can do no possible good
here
NOT TO RESIST THE TROOPS.
Darlington, S. c., April /, 9:15 D. NJ
Upon receipt of the news of 300 state
troops being sent here under Gen II. N.
Rlchbourg the advisory committee
promptly met. After serious consider
alton of all sides of the question, it
was decided that no effort would be
made 10 have the troops stopped, nor
would any resistance be offered TO their
taking quarters here. IL was some time
before they could convince some of the
more hotheaded citizens that this was the
only and best course. Prominent citizens
from Columbia and other parts of the
state begged the people Of Darlington to
receive the military without demonstra-
ton The Darlington Guards have gone
to meet the military, which at 9:15 had
not yet arrived.
Tho following message has been re-
ceived by the advisory committee:

9:45 O'Clock tonight the military arrived
here and are az present at the Coast fina
depot The train bearing them came in
slowly and without ringing Of the bell, or
blowing of the whistle, and the men go
out of their coaches without Interference
or molestation from any source. The
Darlington Guards had a line Of pickets
ground the station grounds, and no one
was permitted TO pass the lines without
permission. Gen. Farley in full uniform
is in charge Of the camp.
For the first time since 1877 city in
South Carolina has hundreds of troops
quartered in it under command.
GOOD ORDER PRESERVED.
Why these troops have been sent here
has not yet been developed, and under the
circumstances, the very best Of order is
beng preserved Strange as 1t might
seem, the military line was drawn
directly in front of the state dispensary
at this place, which is RESPONSE
bic for the appearance of the troops.
AS advised by the committee here, there
was not the slightest obstruction or de-
monstrance made by the determined peo-
pie of Darlington when the military train
arrived here in command of Gen Rich
bourg.
THE MOTIVE NOT SINISTER.
Before arriving here, Gen. Farley made
public this telegram "Gen. Rich
I.aga RAJ
Darlington. You can assure the people
that the motive is not sinister"
The mayor of the city has thrown
open every public place to the troops, and
they are now being comfortably quar-
tered in the Darlington Guards armory,
the court house. the city hall, and the
mayors court room. Altogether there
panies being well-driled and organ
lied. Gen. Richbourgh said that he
had come to Darlington with orders to
preserve the peace, and that he positively
had no instructions 10 make any arrests.
His duty was to uphold the law and no
one would be molested unless the occasion
arose. With the exception of forty-five
men, who we're placed on guard duty, all
Of the military are making preparations
to go to sleep, and there is not the slightest
indication OF any trouble.
At 10 O'Clock the news was received
that eight constables had boarded the
Atlantic Coast Line train at Lake City
on their way to Charleston. Lake City is
four miles from here.
