B-lY" In dismissing the troops that had
gone to Darlington in response to his cali,
Gov. T.llnan made tho following very ap-
prUpriatc address. Unlike most OF the
Governor pub.ic utterauces, it had nothing

friend opponent, and we pronounce the
last act in the Darlington military farce.
decidedly the best in every respect.

The situation in this State today is such
that the most serious consideration should
be given it by every patriotic citizen with n
view Of aveiIing the danger that threatens

good name of our people, if the present

greatly strengthened and intensified. 1t is
