A 19ew Doctor for Manning. Dr. L W. Nettles, who has been Practicing medicine in Foreston for the past three or four years, expects, so we are informed, to move to Man ning, within the next ten days, for the purpose of practicing medicine in this plac'. A number. of personls here are mionn for him to make the change. Dr. Hermon Holleyman Huggins. Dr. Hermon Holleyman Huggins died at his residence in this place, Saturday morning, Feb.1Tth, of rheu matism of the heart, aged fifty-nine years. The public was not altogether un prepared for the sad news; for a slight attack of the same disease the Tues day before, and another attack the day before his death, warned his friends that his life was in great danger. Yet even his family would not yield to the probability. Death came sudden. Up to a few minutes before his demise no special apprehensions were felt. But the third attack was too much for him, and before the family could all be gathered around his bedside, his noble spirit had gone to meet its Maker. Dr. Huggins was born and raised in Darlington county. He was grad uated in medicine in Philadelphia, at the Jefferson Medical College, in 1852, and shortly after this he moved to Clarendon. He was one of the earliest settlers of Manning, coming to this place about thirty years ago, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession or in the drug business. About six years ago be was appoint ed to the position of Treasurer of Clarendon county, which position he held to a few weeks ago. He did not solicit this motion, and his recom mendation Bad been sent on to the Governor, before he knew anything about it. He was also one of the wardens of this town for several years. Dr. Huggins was a member of the Methodist church, of which he was a steward and a trustee. Dr. Huggins was the last of three noble brothers, all of whom in less than two years have died. A sister, Mrs. W. J. T. Harvin, died a little more than two years ago, four of the family thus dying in about two years. Dr. Huggins was a man loved by all who knew him,-a man pure in purpose, noble in character, honest and charitable in all his dealings. He was a man of whom his enemies, if he had any, could not say that he was ever guilty of a wilful wrong. Fragments From Foreston. FoaEsrox, Feb. 18.-The measles have entirely gone, and we are now thoroughly at work, notwithstanding the wet weather, of which we have an abundance. The sound of the "dynamite" bomb may be heard on all sides blasting stumps, and whoa, gee, haw, following close by turning up the soil. I think at least two of our "crack corn plant ers" have an eye to the five hundred dollars offered by the agricultural de partment for the largest yield. Our merchants also wear pleasant faces, for trade is very good for the season, cross ties, wood, &c., helping out the cash trade. Mr. B. O. Cantey has commenced to make laths for fruit boaes, plastering, &c., and is turning them out very sat isfactorily, at the mill in town form erly run by Mr. Hudgins. The Rev. Mr. Carson as recently Ihoved in oar midst. We wish him a plasnt sojourn among us. Peace reigns supreme now, though some of our "bloods" got their dan der up on "Valentine's day," and had a real old time fisticuff. Foreston is on a genuine "boom," nothing needing now to make it last ing but, a school. Let us have a teacher. Are there none in the coun try? F. Panola mews. MR. ESDrrcB:-It has been some time since I have written anything for the dear id Tntrs, but you have been sp full cf good things thatlIhave not been. iE sed.-Yes, you have, too.-EDTon.. The commtnity may congratulate itself upon the two papers which rep resents Clarendon in the field of jour nalism. The Toxis is by no means behind in quantity and quality of good matter given out to the people every week. Surely every family in the county should have it, and be blest with its weekly visits. In our quiet little suburban town we are moving onward and upward in this land of sunshine, preparing to give battle all along the line. Our two railroads will enhance the pleasures, and give life, vigor, and advancement to monotonous cares that environnus. We look forward to all that awaits this community. It may be some months before the iron horse traverses this region, yet the time *will come, and at no distant day, when we can board the train at our very doors for the city by the sea. What marvelous progress this? Sum merton and Panola are to be linked by railroad. No more sparring, for Capt. Wilson is determined on the completion of his road to St. James. When this object is accomplished Panola and Snmmerton will be akin in spirit and in heart. Never in the history of time have we seen so much rain. The entire low lands are flooded with water; public roads are in a terrible condi tion. Much - complaint arises, but the remedy lies only in dry weather. They cannot be worked till the water subsides. -In discharging my official duties, I find great complaint, much unrest in reference to the condition of the highways. Bridges have been thoroughly inspected and put in safe condition. Overseers have been ap pointed for each section of road, so that everything is in ample working Planters are busy getting ready to .plant. The oat crops are unusually fne, fall seeding especially. Num bers are diversifing their crops this year: a large acreage of corn will be planted; less fertilizers used than former years; sugar cane will be planted to greater extent, the idea seeming to prevail with some it is useless to buy that which can be easily raised on the farm. The hog crop has been shorter than usual. The cholera- did its destruc tie or in smea localities. With the misfortune attached to the farm ing interest the past year in the way of short crops, and our people are getting down to hard pan in the way of economy, and propose to retrieve these misfortunes with sober minds and judgment in raising their own supplies. Mr. Charley Martin had the most fortunate pleasure to wed on the 14th one of Panola's most charming ladies. The bride was Miss Mary Eliza Jen kinson, the lovely daughter of our old friend C. T. Jenkinson. May exquis ite pleasure and happiness attend this young couple amidst the cares and anxieties of a married life. Now, Mr. Editor, in my wayside dots you can do as I have always counseled. If acceptable, well and gcad, if not let them find a hole in the waste basket. I have had much to do in latter days, could have writ ten much news, but think the Tmrs might be better represented this year by another correspondent. A change will add more life to the reading pub lic. To39 Congressman Elliott by a vote of 143 to 126 was seated as a member of Congress :last Wednesday. Smalls says he will contest again. Death of Bishop McTyeire. NAsavILFF, February 15.-Holland N. McTveire, senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died this morning at 9 o'clock, at his residence on Vanderbilt University Campus. He was born in Barnwell County, S. C., July 18, 1828. He joined the church in 1837, at Cokes bury School, S. C. He began to preach in 1845, when he joined the Virginia Conference. In May, 1846, the first General Conference of the Church South was held at Petersburg and Mr. McTyeire was sent to Mo bile, Ala. In Mobile he met the lady who be came his wife, a cousin of the lady whom Commodore Vanderbilt after ward married. This was the first link in the chain of causes that gave origin to the great Vanderbilt University. He was stationed at Demopolis, Ala., Columbia, Miss., and then at New Orleans, where he built Felicity Church, and founded the New Orleans Christian Advocate in 1851. In 1858 he became editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate and remained in that capacity till February 19, 1865, when he left the city and did not re turn until 1867. He was elected Bishop in 1866. It was owing to Bishop McTyeire that Commodore Vanderbilt made the princely gift of $1,000,000 and William H. Vanderbilt $500,000 and Cornelius Vanderbilt $30,000 to Van derbilt University, of which Bishop McTyeire was made president for life. The funerel will probably be from the Vanderbilt University chapel on Sunday, and the body will be interred in the University campus. I The State senate to-day adopted resolutions of sorrow at the death of Bishop McTyeire. Bad Health. Last summer I was in bad health feeble, with little or no appetite, una ble to attend to my business- I began taking S. S. S.-took nothing else and in a short time my appetite re turned; gained strength; increased nineteen pounds in weight in less than a month, and my health was restored. J. M. M&nar. Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 25, 1888. I was the victim of the worst ca tarrh that I ever heard of. I was en tirely deaf in one ear, and all the in side of my nose, including part of the bone, sloughed off. No treatment benefitted me, and physicians said I would never bi any better. I took S. S. S. as a last resort, and it has en tirely cured me. I have been well four years, and no sign of return of the dreadfuul disease. MaIis. JOSEPmNE PoI.H.L Due West, S. C., Oct., 1888. Swift's Specific has cured me of a malignant breaking out on my leg, which caused intolerable pain. It was cled eczema by the doctors, four of whom treated me with no relief. I candidly confess that I owe my pres ent good health to S. S. S., which in my estimation is invaluable as a blood remedy. Ms ut Err 2227 N. 10th st., St. Lonis, Mo.

Staggers died at hii residence in this town on the 9th in stant. He was the oldest citizen of the place, and so far as we know, the oldest man in the county. Had hE lived five days more he would have reached the age of eighty-six years The disease of which he died was cancer, the location of which was or the lower part of his face, which made its appearance several years ago or the under lip. It was of slow devel opment for a long time after its firsi appearance, and did not cause muc pain, but for the past year or two the diseased parts became enlarged and the pain increased in severity unti) its victim suffered day and night the most torturing agony. But during all the time he was thus so sorely af. flicted he did not cease to move about and superintend 'his business, until a short time before his death, wher he was compelled to take his bed from exhaustion.-Kingstree Record CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED.
