CONSULTATION with. the officers of my COM
mand concerning it, when, during my
absence from the Armory a party of
citizens went there and took possession

HENRY T. THOMPSON.
Captain, Darlington Guards.
We have been unable to ascertain
who advised the Governor to call out
military. The Sheriff did not. It was
certainly unnecessary as no violence bad
been committed aud the civil authorities
we're able to keep the peace. The or
deriog ont Of the military only made the
excitement greater.
Everything is 10 statu quo as we 60
to press. The excitement has subsidized
and the civil and military officials are
still awaiting further developments. bat
it is not thought that any more trouble
will ensue.
Just as We 60 to press twelve addi-

From the Darlington News, March 20,
Darlington vas all agog with excite.
meut yesterday, when the spies raided
the town for the FIRST time. They were
six in Der and were headed by the
famous Swami. They searched every
place where they thought there was
liquor, but every raid resulted pretty
much in a water-haul.
The first place raided was Mr.. j. Nj.
James's establishment. Here a quart
bottle, half full Of corn whiskey. was
found and ccufscated. Nothing else
contraband vas discovered.
The spies next turned their attention
to Mr.. c. Alexauder's place on Pear
Street, but here absolutely nothing was
found. They then searched the build
ing on Main Street formerly used by
Messrs. Nettles & Nettles as a Law
Office and q dead failure met them
there.
Going back on Pearl Street they
searched Mr.. E. j.. Wilson's bed room
10 the upper story Of Marco building,
but again found nothing. They
searched the other room on that floor
Of the building, still finding no liquor.
Ore Of the rooms was locked and Swami
broked the door open.
The aids to the "step towards pro-
hibition" then went round on Grove
Street and made a fruitless search Of
the private residence of a colored NO.
man named Clara Russell. The pool
room of E. D. Nixon, colored, On the
same street was next visited without the
finding of liquor.
The scene Of action was again shifted
to Pearl Street, where Mr.. j.. Moore's
restaurant was searched. Here the
spies found about a quart Of whiskey
and a pint of Catawba vine. These
we're found in the safe used for storing
eatables and were seized.
The last place searched was the
residence Of E. D. Nixon, colored, near
the G. l. D. depot, and again the spies
found nothing.
All the raids we're conducted in an
orderly manner. The spies we're accom-

then drew bis pistol aud said that he

Mayor Dargan Talks.

DARLINGTON, March 20. There is
no mob 10 Darlington nor has there
been any. No one has deied the law
or aoy authority. The reports current
and sent abroad are absolutely without
foundation and have been originated
add promulgated by irresponsible aud
evil minded persons from fear or malice.
[ assured the Governor by wire that
there was no row or prospect Of one and
that 1 could keep the peace of the town.
The peacehas been kept and that. too,
by the ordinary number of police on
duty.
During the constabalary raids which
we're made without hindrance or moles-
tatiou. some one circulated the report
that raids would be made on private
houses. Immediately some five or six,
or possibly eight. men got double-bar-
relied shot guns, aud openly asserted
that resistance would be made. The
constables were then in a different part
Of the town. Immediately went to
the sheriff, who accompanied the raiding
party, and asked if there were warrants
for the search of private houses. He
assured me that there were none. l
then gent to the. men who bad guns
aud tolds them there was no foundation
for the report and t" pu. up their guns,
which was Immediately done.
A short time afterwards a rumor
was spread that Mr.. G. s. Mccullough
had dared the constables to raid his
home and that the constables had ac-
cepted his challenge. Immediately Me-
Cullough's friends rushed for his resi-
dence on Pearl street. The constables
we're then on Broad street. and per-
fectly ignorant Of what was going on.
On the way to McCullough's house they
met Mccullough, who assured his
friends that there was no truth 10 the
rumor. Everybody turned back and
the guns we're against put up, and all be-
came quiet.
A rumor soon spread that the Gov
ernor had ordered out the Darlington
Guards. Somebody said good nasored-
ly. .'Confound the Guards; We will 60

to the armory and took out a few of the
guns, which we're unloaded. and

searched and that we had better 20 to
the woods. Then we vent to the
woods. This was about 6 o'clock in
the afternoon. We laid 10 the woods
until dark aud then went back toward
the town to see what we could learn.
We saw that it would not be safe for
us aud set out down the track of the
Charleston. Sumter and Northern road.
We walked down the track all night
without seeing any one. getting out of
the way when we heard any noise.

today and went through by-ssreets
until we met a policeman and surren-
dered to him. We told him that We
had not had anything to eat since the
day before and he took Us to a restau-
rant. The Sumter military was
already under arms and a detachment
of them was stationed around the
restaurant to p%reveot any harm being
done to us. The crowd which collected
was driven away from in front of the
restaurant. must say the officers did
their duty by US.
AFTER we had eaten We were taken
to Jail and remained there until we were

A LUCKY ESCAPE.

railroad track did not suspect US OF
being constables."

were wounded in the fight Melon
aid was asked.
..No, I do not" he said. ri heard
that Chief Gaillard's son vas one Of the
men wounded.
When asked if be or his companions
had seen any Of the other constables
after leaving Darlington, he said that
they had rot aud did not have any idea
where they were. He said that Billy
Floyd vas last seen running along the
railroad track in direction opposite to
that which the coostables had taken.
Floyd had two pistols in his hand.

A Report From Rome That Arch.

Delegate.

A Report From Rome That Arch.
bishop Ireland VIII he Apostolic
Delegate.
A st. Louis priest has received a letter
from friend at Rcme repeating the re-
port that Archbishop Satolli Is to be re-
lieved of his duties as apostolic delegate
and to be appointed archbishop OF Bologna
at the next consistory, and adding that
Archbishop Ireland is to succeed Arch
bishop Satolli as apostolic delegate.
There is much intrinsic probability in
the report said Father Head of ST. Louis,
when told of the letter. 1t is known
that Archbishop Satolli was appointed Gel
egate at the direct instance of Archbishop
Ireland. that much of the work done by the
delegate was mapped out for him by the
archbishop of St. Paul, and that the two
dignitaries were always working together.
When these things are taken into consid-
GRAFTON there seems to be no reason why
Archbishop Ireland should not succeed TO
the duties Of the Office he understands SO
well.
Now that the Office has once been estab-
lshed there is no doubt that 1t will be
continued. There is no doubt, too that
such an office can do the greatest possible
good only when its incumbent is an Ameri-
can familiar with the language, customs
and laws of the people. If the archbishop
Of st. Paul succeeds Archbishop Satolh II

try. 1t would certainly give great dis
pleasure to some of the archbishops who
hold different views from Archbishop Ire

Ceremonies Connected With the

for Lord Aberdeen, received the silver key

At the unwilling 100 pupils of the semi;

crowds were enormous Every fifth man
was in snow-shoe suit. one of the most in

contingent of snow-shoers, who rode
Notwithstanding the snow, to the number OF
about lOO. There Were several large to-
bcegans in the procession, each drawn by
a dozen bicycles or more.
The metamorphosis of old sleepy Quebec
during the last week has been remarkable.
The streets are crowded with pedestrians
and jams of vehicles take place constantly.
How they will be managed next Thursday
when the fancy carnival drive takes place
is n conundrum that worries the chief OF DO

1t has been an open secret for two or three
years past that Mr.. Campbelrs finances
were In a crippled condition. Mr. Campbell
was a lawyer and insurance man before he
went into politics, and. a close friend or
his said yesterday: III Jim Campbell had
stuck to his business and let politics alone
he would be a rich man today His arnbi-

where they could help him to the White

Mr.. Campbell has been unfortunate IN
speculation, but the primal cause OF his
present condition can be expressed in the
one word. politics.
