The subject of this sketch ;is a nathe
of Jefferson county, this State. His
father, John P. Darden, was a planter
under the old regime, noted for his in
tegrity, sound judgment and rare busi
ness qualifications.
Capt. Darden received a collegiate edu
cation, having graduated from our State
University in the year IKob. SiTbao
quently he engaged in farming, and so
continued till the call to arms in 1SG1,
when he promptly responded and enlisted
for the war. As lieutenant of artillery,
ho first served uuder Albert Sidney
Johnston in that memorable campaign
from Bowling Green to Shiloh. After
wards, as commander of Darden's Bat
tery, he followed the varying fortunes
of the Western Confederate army under
Beauregard, Bragg, llardie, Joseph E.
Johnstou and Hood, to the end serving
with distinction in all the great battles
fought by these distinguished leaders.
On thu close of the war he returned to
his farm to engage in the hard struggle
to retrieve his lost fortune. In the year
I860 he was elected a member of the
State Legislature, but served only a part
Ins term betore the estate passed un-
er the rod of military rule.
At an early date m the history of the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry he
allied himself with that organization.
In the hard school of experience he had
felt and nppprcciatcd the meaning of the
many troubles and dimcuities mat envir
oned the farming classes the unjust ex
actions imposed upon them how their
hard earnings went toenrich moretavorea
classes and how hopeless, under then
existing laws and systems, was their
struggle to free themselves from bond

tore, with the neeessitv 01 sucn 1111 in-

Irom home molasses by Mr. C. M. Huber,
M Copiah. Mississippi may soon give
notice to other States of the Union and
nutside countries, her intention to make
bar own sucrar and molasses, as well as
eotton and woolen goods, and that she
does not mean to ask the government
bounties hi order to enable her to do

and energv soon brought promotion, and
for six years past, as Master of the state
Grange, to whieh position he has been
repeatedly elected, lie has been untiring
111 his labors. During that period he
h:us once ft vear made a personal canvass
of the State,, making able and effective
speeches in every county in behalf of
the rights of the people and especially
the interests of the farmers. Whilst
not antagonizing other classes or call
ings, he has sought to arouse farmers to
a true sense ot the cause of their im
poverishment, and to the necessity of
organization, co-operation and combina
tion in order to their protection and
iirosperity. He believes that legislation
oth State and National, has been ad
verse to agriculture and its interests
that the burdens of taxation have been
unequally distributed; that the tariff
system has borne oppressively upon
the tillers ot the sou; that the in
ordinate greed and growth of great
momed institutions and corporations
ha-ve become a menace, to republican
government, and that, wielding despotic
power, they are depriving the people ri
their liberties ana grinding mem i
deeper poverty. Upon these and"
evils that stand injthc way ot the pros
perity ot the people he proposes to wage
relentless war.
In politics, Capt. Darden has always
been a Democrat. In the memorable
struggle of 1875, he was the acknowl
edged leader of the people in his own
county, and did giant service in restor
ing them to their rights. But though a
Democrat from principle, he is no par
tisan, and declines to engage in the
tricks and intrigues of politics. He is
firm in his advocacy ot the purity of
the ballot-box, and unswerving in his
devotion to the sovereignty and rights
of the people.
Capt. Darden is in the prime of life,
and bids fair to serve the people with
.... . '1 j 1 1
still greater uscruiuess unu distinction.
