Addison was committed to jail last week, for trial at the next term of the Sessions' Court, charged with a criminal assault upon Sallie McCoy, an inmate of the Poor House. Both parties are whii. Robt. T. McCantz, our polite bar ber, can always be found at his post, ready and waiting. Among the presents sent to the Executive Mansion on the marriage of the Prisident, was a baby carriage. A hog was killed at the Coleman Hotel on Monday, which had five perfectly formed hoofs on one foot. Kingstree Record. With a polite bow to our esteemed contemporary, the Palmetto Post., we would suggest, that in all probability, Mr. Chas. H. Simonton, of Charleston, is the gentleman aspiring to a judge ship in the United States District Court. Mr. R. T. Huggins, of Williamsburg,l has declared himself a candidate for the Legislature. ]2ight candidates are annoanced in the Abbeville papers. One for the Senate, three for the House of Rep resentatives, one for Probate Judge, two for School Commissioner, and one for the office of County Commission er. At the municipial election last Mon day for warden, Mr. B. A. Johnson, the only one spoken of for the posi tion, received the whole number of votes cast, 55. The unusualiy small vote was due to the fact that there was-no contest. The election was managed by Messrs. P. B. Thames, E. C. Horton and B. S. Diukins. The lady who tapped her husband t gently with a fan at a party the oth er night and said, "Love, it is grow- 1 ing late; I think we had better go I home," is the same one who after I getting home shook the rolling-pin ander his nose and said, "you infer-C na~! old scoundrel you; if you ever look I at that mean, rnasty, calico faced, mackarel-eyed thing-that you looked at to-night, TIl burst your head wide pen.1 The attention of ihe City Fathers i is directed to the danbrous condi-i tion of the bridge at the foot of Blackt River causeway.

We would suggest that the one or the othert immediately make the much needed epairs, andl settle the boundary line fterwards.

PHOTOGRAPHS. P. Sinclair, Photographer, is now in Manning, and guarantees good work. Photographs of Babies made by the instantaneous process. Manning Academy. The academy exhibition in the Court House on the morning of the 9th was a complete success. Schol ars and teachers both deserve full praise. The first reflected the high est credit on the teachers, by the ad mirable performance of each one of the part assigned. We forbear from comparisons, for all did too well not to be mentioned, if one is brought forward. Each one was heartily con gratulated by the attentive audience I and made happy by the approving smiles of teachers. The following is a list of the honors and prizes with the names of the winners: First Honor, Scholarship prize Gold Pen-Itly 'Wilson. Penmanship prize-Gold Pen Neddie McLeod. Prize for Declamation-Book of Poems-Daisy Bagual. Prize for Punctuality-Writing Desk-Susie Les-sne. Prizes for Best scholarship in each lass-a book of poems to each-First class, Itly Wilson; Second and Third classes, Susie Lesesne; Fourth class, John Wilson; Fifth class, Tillie Wol oviskie; Sixth class, Nettie Wein >erg; Seventh and Eighth classes, Ldolphus Brunson. The Academy is the oldest educat onal institution in Manning, and un ~ler the able nmanagement of Prof. >ettles and Mrs. Alsbrook, receives a iberal part of the public pationage. gC rhomp~son Literary Society. The iegular annual exhibition of the rhompson Literary Society of the danning Academy was held in the Leademy building last Thursday ev- a ~ning. Notwithstanding the inclem- a ~ncy of the weather, the entire seating b ~apacity of the building was exhaust-t ~d by friends and relatives of the stu lents. The programme was an inter-d ~sting one, consisting of recitation, h ssay, debate and oration. The reci ation by Miss Susie Lesesne was well lelivered, and received the plaudits f the audience. Miss Daisy Bagnal a ead an interesting and carefully pre ared essay on "Home." Miss Bag- I al deserves much credit for the beau iful style in which she handled her ubject. The subject of the debate ras: "Which is more profitable to lant in Southl Carolina; corn or cot on." Mr. Axexander Davis repre ented the affirmnative side of then uestion, and Mr. Chovine Sprott the egative. Both sides of the question . as well argued, the subject being ex 4, austively discussed. Mr. Chovine prott made an exceptionally fine ar-a aiment, eliciting great applause from be audience. In accordance with he request of the debators, Gen. Mo =e acted as judge. Gen Moise stated hat in rendering his decision, he a ould decide the question in favor ofn he one who presented the best argu 1ent, and not upon the merits of the ubject. His decision was in favor of he negative. After the debate Mr. tlev Wilson delivered an oration hich showed much care and study, nd reflected credit upon himself and is teachers. This closed the exer ises of the society-then followed t he address of Gen. E. W. Moise. 'en. Moise's ability as an orator, and ~raceful and easy speaker, is so well a nown that anything on this point, asr oming from me, woaild be superflu- * us.

I doubt about ever having the pleasure of at tending the celebration of the compe tition of any rail-road to Summerton. Mr. Friday says the Sunday School Celebration at the Methodist Church was a great success, through the un tiring energies of the ladies. They always do things up properly and I don't know how the world would get along without them. Our Maker was level headed when he created them. Friend Friday says they raised thirty lollars from the sale of refreshments For the Academy. SACRALEGE! Who aver heard of a Sunday School cele bration gotten up at a Methodist Thurch for the purpose of raising noney for any purpose. Our Lord mnd Savior turned over the money :hanger's tables, and those that sold loves, and said they had made his iome a den of thieves. Such things nay do for Summerton, but I am sur )rised that the pastor of the Church ;hould have permitted it. He must iave been blinded by the sparkling ,ye of some of the fair ones. BIG BRANCH.
