THE MANNING TIMES.1 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1887. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. Attention to other mttets prevent ed any notice last week of "X. Z's" objections ft the proposition advocat ed in several of our exchanges, to abolish the circuit solicitors and es tablish county prosecuting attorneys. The first and weightiest objections ad inced by "X. Z." is that the change *ould create 26 new offices, and he presumes the Legislature would make their pay greater than the amount now set apart for circuit solicitors.; He further adds that the 'Attorney General might deem it necessary to! summons this host of county solicit-' ors to attend the meeting of the Leg islature." All these obstacles to the I ehange are the work of "X. Z.'s" fruit ful imagination, and are out of place it this stage. The same demagogic objections might just as properly be raised to the change of the most ob noxious or expensive law on the stat ute book. If' for the better adminis tration of justice this change is re quired, and the people demand it, which must be the case as the office is constitutional, then the few addii tional dollars, if any are necessary, will be well spent. It need not be in the province of the Attorney General to summon solicitors to the General As sembly. The statute law of the State may contrel that. If the law is ever changed, this matter can be regulat ed by enactment, as the exigencies of the times demand, and the wisdom of the Legislature deems fit. The second objection of "X. Z," that the change would interfere with ,the present arrangment of the juris dictional territory of the judges, has no foundation. The solicitor's office may be abolished or amended and amended again without interference in the least with the territory of the cir cuit judges. "X. Z." urges this last peculiar ob jection to tie proposed change: You use the argument that the solicitor. us he is, is a perfect stranger to the senti ment of men drawn to serve at a term of the court. which he should know to prevent the defendant from selecting twelve men who are opposed to conviction and is unac quainted with the testimony of th- State witnesses, which he should know verbatim, until they tell it on the stand. It appears to md that the same argument may be used against a circuit judge, he having had no knowledge of the particular case, the wit nesses, etc., until the trial begins, will not know how to charge the jury on account of . me6i. ng testimony or something of that nature.--an the fault be in the judge or solicitor, because they are non-residents of the county in which the crime was commit ted and the criminal tried, if the jury bring in a verdict which appears to be against convicting testimony? But is it not the du- 4 ty of the judge to assist the jury ip arriving at a right conclusion? In other words to tell them what verdict to find ? If this is not his bounden duty, I am yet to know -swhatis ,in the above, our correspondent ex 'hibits a profound ignorance of the du ties of a judge, and making this office, analogous with that of the solicitor bis argument goes for naught. The _acts-or evidence in a case, as the least atcquzainted with our system of juris *pjrudence well know, are matters sole ly for the consideration of the jury. The judge cannot pass upon the facts and his only- prerogative is to charge the jury what the law is. The evidence, they must decide themselves. We be lieve "X. Z." has failed to define his true position and that he does himself injustice. We have not yet advocated the change in the law relative to solic itors, but simply pointed out some of the grievances of the present system. The more, however, we consider the matter, the more convinced we are that there could be an improvement on circuit solicitors, and the remedy may lie in county attorneys. Rosin Hill Wavelets. Thre thermometer registered I(LM de grees to-day in the shade. Crops are suffering for rain, with every prospect of a continued drought The sociable at Mr. R. H. Belser's last Friday evening was largely attend ed, and very much enjoyed by all. The good people led by G*en'l Malcolm A. Stanard, of W~edgegeld, joined "old Sister Phibbie's club" and "set under yon juniper tree,' while other folks tripped "the light fantastic," to music so sweet as to induce Gen'l Stsnard to desert his flock, and join the sinners. Mr. Dukes Cain, of Asheville, N. C., is on avisit to his aunt~s, the Misses Dukes, of Summerton. Miss Lela Rembert, of Mayesville, is spending some time at her uncle's, Mr. Ed Tindal Mr. H. B. Tindal can do more courting, and make as fine crops as any man in Clarendon. His crop is very fine. Nothing like capacity; may his shadow never grow less. Miss Amanda, the fascinating 4 daughter of Mr. Stephen Thomas, Jr., elf Charleston, is gladdening the hearts I of her many friends and relatives with a-visit. The Panola Croquet Club, met at Mr. Jas.

Miss Nora Brailsford, of Fulton, 4 one of the most fascinating, and de- I servedly popular young ladies it has been-our good fortune to meet, has been-spending several days with the family of Hon. James E. Tindal, while her brother, Moultrie was the guestf of Major A. L. Lesesne. Miss Sligh, of Spartanburg, is visit inzg the MissesShuford, of Summer ton. Occmsom 1 Ranin Hill June 19% 1887.

Amidst all of our cheerfulness, the iope entertained of a fine prospect of , bountiful harvest (for the crops in )ur community are the best I ever ;aw) we nevertheless have sickness and orrow; we mourn to-day. The com nunity is sad over the death of one of ts oldest and best citizens. Mr. W. V. Coulliette died on yesterday. A nore quiet, peaceful man never lived; ie was respected by all who knew him. :n his death, the community and the hurch sustains a great loss. The ev dence of his wide-spread popularity vas shown at his buriel amidst the nultitudinous throng assembled at Lndrews Chapel where he is buried tad sIeeps until the resurrection of the ust. The funeral seivice was con lucted by the Rev. J. L Shuford, of ;he Methodist Church, and Rev. H. F. Jahoney, of the Baptist church. Rev. dr. Mahoney preached the sermon, nd Rev.

The acting of one of the young la. lies in "The Intercession" (minor nlo drama) who appeared upon the stage in the humble, but neat costume f a very poor girl hunting work, rhose princely inheritance had been natched away by designing relatives, oud have been comuplimentory to mnartist.

But alas! poor "Mellinda" was nce more doomed to disappointment, is her veritable hero, when pressed to he verge of matrimony, let fall his atless iron grey whiskers, and stood efore her a beardless boy. But 'Melinda," whose heart had grown allous by trials, and disappointments, nstead of brooding like a love-sick naiden over her wrongs, seized the eady broomstick, and cleared the Miss Lula Alderman, who is a per et child of nature, possessing the ippy gift of adopting herself to any ole, acted all of her many parts well. Miss Alice Rea, is a native of Har sburg, Pennsylvania. She is a lady rth graceful and winning manners, rose high attainments in her pro - fession, amiable dispcsilion, energy,' and devotion to duty, has won for her the love, and admiration of pupil and patron. She leaves for her home in Penn sylvania to-day, and no doubt, several of our bachelor friends will be troub led with blues for a season, but we console ourselves with the hope that she'll come back again. OccAsrom.L Fragments from Foreston, FoRES'roN, June 13, 1887. Mr. Editor : Since last writing we have had some very warm weather. The mercury registered on Thursday and Friday as high as 97. There was a decided fall in temperature on Fri day afternoon, which was highly ap preciated by those who had suffered with the intense heat the two preced ing days. The weather since has been rather cool for the crops. We hope, however, no harm has been done as yet. Our farmers have availed them solves to the full extent of their vines and sprouts, the season being so fa vorable for potato planting. Oats are pretty well gathered-a very fine crop being raised in this sec tion. Our corn is still ahead of any in the State, or at least, we cannot get any one to take up the gauntlet thrown down by a Foreston Farmer. One of them is pretty mad because a "Salem ite" said his corn was only 5 weeks old and knee high. The closing exercise3 of Mr. Can non's school came of on Frieay last. We were pleased with the conduct of the pupils. It was such as to convince any one that they were carefully taught, and that the teacher is a favor ite among the children. A singing school has been organiz ed by Miss Oliver, which is well at tended, and good progress is being made in the art of vocal music. Mr. W. P. Conyers, of Sumter High School, is at home, having completed his studies there. He expects soon to enter college, but has not yet decded where. Captain J. H. DuPont, of Ida, Judge J. D. Alsbrook, of Marlboro, and Prof. S. A. Nettles, of Manning, were among our visitors for the week ending June 12, 1887. F. Give Them a Chance. That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and chok ed with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do, they ctn not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumo nia, catari-h, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee's German Syrup, which any druggst will sell you at 75 cents a bottle.

C., June 13. 1887, Not the least among the advantages that the city of Washington enjoys, is its situa tion on the Potomac River, tand its easy ac cess to places of historical interest, as well as resorts for pleasure, along its shores. Comfortable excursion steamers, after first passing the beautiful arsenal grounds. where several batteries of artilery is now quartered, reach Alexandria, a port of entry seven miles below, with a population be tween 13,000 and 14,000. The river at this point is a mile and a halt wide, forming a harbor able to accom modate the largest ships. At the opening of the civil war. Alexan dria was in possession of the Confederates; but on the 2-1th of May, 1861, it was entered by Union forces under Col. Ellsworth, who was shot while hauling down a Confederate dfag. Christ Church, where Washington wor shipped, and where also, is shown the pew occupied by the Confederate chieftain, Rtob ert E. Lee, is the place of greatest interest to strangers, next to which is the ancient cemetery. Alexandria has this year taken a new lease of life, and a new era of prospeaity has set in with the establishment of her iron ship building yard, where a first-class iron steamer is now undergoing construction. Bight miles below Alexandria is MIount Venon, the home and burial place of George~ Washington. At the time of his disceas', the estate comprised several thousand acre:. The mansion is beautifully situated on a swelling height, crowned with trees, and commanding a fine view up and down the river. The library and Washington's bed room remain as they were at the time of his death, and contain many articles of great interest. The other rooms have been furnished, as nearly as possible, to conform to the period in which he lived, and a number of States have assumed the care of a room each, pro ducing the furniture and decorations from among their older families, thus serving the double purpose of perpetaation of State as well as N'ational souvenirs of the olden time, In 18581, the mansion and 200 acres of land were bought by the "Ladies' Mount Vernon Association," who hold it in perpet uity, as a place of public resort and pil grimage. Jay Gould, for the first time in his busy life, found an opportunity last week, to vis it the tomb of the Father of his Country. His magnificent yacht, Ata!anta, was anchor ed just off Mount Vernon, when his party bethought them of a flying visit to this city, and leaving the yacht at Giesboro Point, below the Arsenal wharf, they steamed up hear in two of the smartest little steam launches ever seen in these waters, and em ployed an afternoon in driving about the city and surrounding country. Seventy mniles from Washington, is Colon ial Beach, a noted Salt water bathing place. This beach has long borne the name of the "Classic Shore,"' because thre., miles back. in the county of Westmoreland, was Wash Iington's birth place; ruins of the old hoaise still remain, and measures have been taken to place a monument on the site. Before reaching Mount Vernon, on a sail down the river, Forts Foote and Washing ton are passed; on the Maryland side and lalmost opposite to it, is Marshall Hall. the old homestead 0? a branch of the family of) the first Chief Justice; it now affords a , glimpse to modern eyes, of the mode~ in which the wellto-d farmer or plantation owner iived in by-gone days. The rlae'e is wonderfully preserved, and admiral.ly kept at present, as an exenesien ground. River View, a comparatively new resort; Glymont; Pinev Point; Celton's; and Black iston's Island, are the naeis ot the clarm ing places on both sides of the river, songht by thousands in this locality, for relief from the sum:ier's heat. Salt water begins about 40 miles below the city, but the real salt water air is not reached until within some 60 miles distance. The Potomac River, from its source in the Aleghenies to its month ,.t the Chesa peake Bay, is 400 miles long. For nearly half that distanco, in pas.4ing through the mountain region north of this city, it is a comparatively narrow stream; but when it reaches Alexendria, as I have said, it widens out to about a naile and a half. In its course to the sea, it gradually expands, until, at its mouth it toris a broad astuary, seven and a half miles wide. This represents the width of the river from Point Lookout to Smith's Point. where it empties into the Caesapeake Bay. LOOH OUT I Compare this with your purchase: IJYSPEPSiA, RESTLESSNESS-.
