The deceased was taken sick Saturday afternoon with indi gestion, but the immediate cause of his death was paralysis of the heart. Captain Thames was one of Clarendon's best and most useful citizens. He was noted for his gentleness of manner and kindness of heart, and has several times been selected to represent this county in State conven tions. In the death of this man Claren don has lost a valuable citizen, and the poor of his community a triend. The ed itor of thejTimes extends to the bereaved widow his sincere sympathy. If the yoang men that visit the ladies these ni ,hts will send a wheel-barrow full of wood and a can of oil on ahead, the old man of the house would feel more kindly towards them, and might get up out of his bed even at mid.night to invite the young man to come a ain. It would be a good fashion to start, young men. Instead of sending a note asking to call, send a good load of wood and a can1 of oil; it it is accepted it will be understood the young lady will be pleased to receive you. If it is not accepted, then the young man is to understand that the dogs will be turned loose at an early hour and the old man has the toe of his shoe loaded with dynamite. An exciting runaway occurred Monday afternoon near the court house. The horse became startled by a piece of vood falling from a load he was hauling, dashed for ward, threw the driver from his seat, ran recklessly, scattering the wood as he went, until he reached the street gate of Mrs. E. C. Alsbrook's lot. Without any hesitation he leaped the gate which was of sharp pointed fencing four feet high. With a crash he completely demolished it with the wagon, speeding on up the narrow lane un til lie reached the six-foot lot gate, then with a fruitless attempt to go through he w -s compelled by close quarters to stand and pant.

Enrron MANINo Tums:-According to promise I will give you a short account of my trip to Texas. I left Charleston on the morning of January 1st with Mr. J. H. Hikson, Chief Deputy Marshal of So-ith Carolina, and a step-son of United States Marshal Hunter. Our business to Texas was to bring back a prisoner. (J. T. Till man), who was convicted at the November term of the United States Court in the fa mous Barrett conspiracy case, and who, -it was supposed, was at the time of court a fugitive from justice, as he was under bend and did not appear for trial. Through the United States Marshal of -South Carolina, Tillman was arrested at Port Lavaca, and was lodged in jail at Victoria, Texas. Our trip to Texas was a pleasaat one, as we had a pleasant stop-over at nearly all' the larg est places we we went through. After arriving at Dallas, Texas, one of the many telegrams that were sent to Mr. Hickson, along the route, was one notify irg him of the sad and sudden death of his mother. who died on the night of the day we left, with apoplexy. and he, of course, had to come back to -'outh Carolina by the first train, and her body was embalmed and sent to Lancaster to await his arrival be fore burial. Mr. Hickson was the only living child by her first marriage, and a noble and devoted son,writing to:his mother at every stop along the route, not knowing she was dead. As Mr. Hicksou as called home before our papers were fixed, there was nothing for me to do but to remain in Texas, and await his return. I took advantage of my leisurf time and took a bird's eye view of the finest port of Texs. My stopping place, Victoria, is a town of about 6,000, on the banks of the Gandalope river, twenty-eight miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The population is about equally divided between Americans, Mexicans, Germans, and Negroes. Some of the largest cattle. men live in Victoria, and it is nothing unusual to have a million aire pointed out to you, and by the way, I saw the eattle king of Texas, who lives near Victoria, and is said to be worth from three to five millions. The farmers held a meeting whileIwast here,andlthey are going to plant largely of tobacco this year. Ex perts say the finest grade can be grown there. I saw cotton in Texas that had the anpearance of not being picked at all, and in some places I saw where they were thrashing the stalks and turning ander as much as one-half a bale to the acre. I also noticed that in Louisiana they had not gathered more than two-thirds of the sugar cane alongithe route, andI was jinformed that syrup was so low tbat some who had already made it, turned it- out on the ground rather than go to the expense of buying barrels. Texas is certainly the coming State of course. I found the hard times general~but from all appearances, less complaint in Texas than elsewhere. .1 saw old men who had never seea a pound of guano, and that being the case, they stand right now where we did whcn cotton was at 8 cents per pound. for they can make more per acre without anything under it than our lands will produce with all the fertilizers we can get; taking that into con sideation, they will flourish making 4 cts. cotton, while we would starve to death. Texas has its disadvantages, of course, but were I asked for advice, I am of the opin ion of Horase Greeley, when he said, "Go West, young man." My advice to the farmers here is to plant more small grain, for I do not think I saw as much as one hundred acres on the whole trip along the railroad, and in fact I did not see an acre of small grain while in Texas. While the future looks very dark from a financial standpoint, with our South Carolina climate and lands that will pro duce almost anything, there is no reason why we should not be the happiest and most prosperous peeple anywhere. Raise some cf every thing that we can possibly make, especially since cotton with us is no longer king. In conclusion I feel it my duty to sa-y a few words in reference to my prisoner, Mr. Tillman. ,At the time of, or prior to, his arrest, he was working in Texas, for the Georgia Co-ope' ative Loan Company, of Atlanta.. and in daily communication with said company~he neaver once changing his name. Ut course I will not pretend to say whether he is guilty or not, for thc crime of which he was convicted in his absence, but from letters, etc., his excuse for not be ing at his tri-d, appears to me, a good one, -and I am confident that he will have no trouble in getting a new trial. By some chang. in the business he - was working, he was forced to give it up, and at the time of his arrest he was clerking in a hotel for hi board, not being able to get back to his trial I stopped in Atlanta with Mr. Till man to see his father, who is a Mlethodist minister, and a splendid man. His broth er, Mr. Cla.s. Tillman, ia a merchant of At lanta and I don't know when I have met a ma with whom I was more impressed. Yours, &c., C. L. Ensmvz. Are Your Eyes Affected l SDr. W. G.

C., January 20.-It is stated on good authority that the dis pnsary law will be taken before the federal supreme court next week. It has not yet been definitely decided how the matter will be brought to the at tention of the court, but the under standing now seems to be that it will be through a writ of error, and If such be possible it will be upon the feature of the law which forbids the introduc tion of liquor into the state except with the certinecates of the commissioner. It is heldi that this feature of the law is generally considered unconstitution al and that it will give the best gounda for the writ to the s'-:greme court. It is stated that the case wIll be present ed by Messrs. Clot & Chaffee, on the part of the city of Alken, and Messrs. Douglass & O'Bear, who have recently been employed to look after the ease by Mayor Dargan, of Darlington. The state authorities have been look~ ing for such an attack on the law fox some time. and seem to appreciate the fact that t'As is about the most vulner* able feature of the act, especially as it bear.s upon the federal inter-state laws. WHERE TOBACCO STANDS KING. Marveou-a Growth of the Tobacco Indus try in South Carolina. SHAm.EsTON, S. C., January 20.-The News and Courier publishes today a special tobacco edition, showing thE marvelous development of the tobaccc growing industry in the Pee Dea see tion of South Carolina in the last few years. The fullest details are given as to the method of cultivation, the varie tes of seed best adapted to the soil: the cost of production and the profits on the crop, and the experience of a large numaber' of tobacco planters is re lated to show that tobacco is king. To bacco growing is a flourishing industry throughout the Pee Dee section of the state., but it has had Its most successful and satisfactory developments in Dar lngton county, to which the News and Courier's review is largely confined. Ten years ago not one pound of to haceo was grown in South Carolina foi market. Last year one million poundr: were raised and marketed in Darling ton county alone.

Lovering, president of the Arkwright club, which represents all of the large New England textile manufacturers, was invited some months ago, after re turning from a visit of investigation to the south, to deliver an address before the New England Textile club on cot ton manufacturing in the south. This address, which has never before been made public, is given out today, and will be published in this week's issue of the Manufacturer's Record. In this address. which is a very full and com prehensive study of the whole subject, Mr. Lovering says: "Tho time has passed when New ugland manufacturers need to give but little attention to .otton manufacturing in the south. We ha ve come to realize that the south has enter ed the race in earnest and to stay. Henceforth ),. must be The survival of the fttest. The old mills in the south, with their antiquated me chinery. have been succeeded by first class mills with the beet equipment, and we find mills in the south today that will compare fav orably with our New England mills, built in every respect to do their work in the cheapest and most Improved manner. While it has long been conceded that in certoin lines of cosrae goods the advantages are in favor of the south. northern manufacturers hare comforted them selves with the statement that the manufae turei of the finest goods would remain with them, and that the south could not make suwh goods. In this we sre mistaken. There is an actual Increase in the production of finer goods in the south, and where manufacturing is once firmly established, it is only a matter of a short time when the labor employed will improve in skill and adapt itself to the finer work. There seems to be no reason wty as ine yarns may not be spun in the south as in any other section of our country." THE MOVEMENTS OF COTTON. New Orleans Exehange Statement From Sept. lot to Jan. s5th.
