Kolnitz of the Char leston Bar was in Manning yesterday on professional business, and while here made us a very pleasant call. WVe received from Mrs. W. A. Barfield two of the largest red radishes we ever saw, and they were as crisp and juicy as if taken from the garden in spring-time. We are told that the Silver section is flooded with liquor and that a number of the lawless dealers have become so bold as not only to defy the State, but they are de fying the United States. Look-look-go to Brockintoh's for that wonderful Celery Compound, only $1. per bottle. Next to M1. Levi's. We overheard a lady who is noted for her tasty dress say that Jenkinson's is the best place in this part of the State to get milli ner'y. ['his wats quite a complimen t, com ing from the source it did. The ladies of Packsville Methodist church propose serving oysters, cream, etc., withl several other attractions-a "fish pond" in cluded-on Friday night, Dec. 10.

We have a few more secd, and if any of our subscribers failed to get some last week we will take pleasure in sending them some. We sent out on Thanksgiving day ever 5,000 papcrs of good fresh garden seed to our subscribers; so you see it pays to t e~ke THE TDiES. Mr. C. A. BradLam of Silver has placed npon our desk a sample of his "Georgia Best" secd cotton. He claims it is far bet ter than the "limbless cotton" as to staple and yield; it has a black seed not unlike Sea Island cotton and Mr. Bradham is quite carried away with it. Let hunters of all sorts understand that partridges cannot be sold in the State or outside ol it. Pot hunters, who with traps or nets or even with guns, secure birds can not expose them for sale. The hunters have no rights on the lands of other men unless by permission. Let that be under stood in the beginning of the hunting sea son. 'The ladies of the Summerton Baptist church are to have an entertainment at the residence of Mr. J. P. Brock, near Panola. on the evening of the 9th inst. Refresh ments will be served. It would be need less for us to say what is in store for those who attend this entertainment, for there never wvas a more generous host and charm ing hostess than Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Brock.

[18-16t The State Board of Control has made a cut in the prices of liquor, and the railroad authorities have lifted the embargo against original package dealers. Look out now for a rum shop, with all of its offensive accoi paniments, in our town. We hope the town council will enforce its ordinance strictly against non-residents doing bumi ness here, and the good people of the town will stand by them. A lawsuit against tho town in such a cause, the council can well afford to risk. Therefore the very first at tempt to open an original package shop in Manning should call forth the exercise of authority given by the ord:nance. Counc.l should not allow itself thwarted by threats from the liquor dealers nor their attorneys. We have it from a good legal mind that the ordinance requiring a license from non residents will hold in law. Mr. Thos. F. Harmon, general agent for "Ihe Home Mutual Fire Protective Associ ation of South Carolina," was in town last Friday and made a satisfactory settlement with Mr. H. D. Rif for the damage done to his stock in the late fire. This association is so managed that the insured gets his fire protection at a nominal cost compared with the rates of tariff association companies and in our opinion it is perfectly safe. We are so well satisfied and have so much confi dence in it that we have placed a good part of our insurance in it. The gentle men who have the financial management of this institution are among Newvberry's best md wealthiest busins ss men, and the gen eral manager, Mr. Harmon, understands avery detail of insurance work. The asso :.ation has secured the services of Mr. J. D. Alsbrook who will write policies in the interest of the association. $100 REWARD, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that tWere is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive curn now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in its work. The pro prietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they oiT=r one hundred dollars for any case that it fi.ils to cure. Send for list of testimonials. address, F. J.

Bogel, the leading druggist o Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Dis covery is the only thing that cures m: cough, and it is the best seller I have." J F. Campbell, merchant of Safford, Ariz. writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is al that is claimed for it; it never fails, andi a sure cure for consumption, coughs an< colds. I cannot say enough for its merits. Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption coughs and colds is not an experiment. I has been tried for a quarter of a century and to-day stands at the head. It never dis appoints. Free trial bottles at R. B. T o yea's drug store. 6 i~ Fearful Accident. .A v'e-y sad accident occurred within th< corporate limits on Mr. W. S. Harvin's rail road lau Maonday afternoon. Mr. J. W tead, while under the influeuce of liquor laid~ down beside the track and the log traui came around the curve backing out into tb< woods. The engineer, Alex. Betran, coult not have seen the unfoitunate man as ther< were five trucks between his engine an< the man. He felt a jar as if a truck hat jumped the track, and as quick as possibli he put on the brakes, and to his horror he discovered that he had struck a man. Be tran immediately gave an alarm and in few minutes a crowd gathered at the place At first it was not known who the mat was, as he was dou'bled up, with his heat jammed against the track and his moutl bruised. The writer, on arriving, aske< that the body be moved where it could h< laid out for identification. As soon as thi poor man was straightened out, it was a once identified as Mr. Stead, who but: short while before had been seen going ix that direction. Upon examination it wa found he had received a glancing blow fron a truck wheel which scraped off hair fron the -ide of his head, and it appeared tha his neck was broken also. Mr. Harvin was notified and he immedi. ately despatched a messenger for the coro ner. who arrived after dark, and at one~ held the inquest. Dr. Geiger made the os amination and he found besides the blot upon the side of the head, wvhere a sever< blow was inflicted upon the breast whicl crushed into the lung and which probabi: caused death. The engineer was held entirely blame less and very properly so. After the in quest the body was removed to the man' home, at the residence of his father-in-law Mr. W. R. White. Mr. Stead had been a citizen of Mannin; for several years, coming originally fron North Carolina. He was about 38 years e age and a painter by trade. About tw, years ago he married the daughter of Mx W. R. White, who survives him. The fo nral took place yesterday at Oak Grove. W HAT IT MEANS.

Clarendon has had a lynching bee with. out the loss of life, and the victims were only put to a painful inconvenience. The repert to us is, in e1Y.c:t. that on last Wed. nesday night whi:e Marion Dochette, r white man livin:g ::bout two miles west of Siumerton, was sitting :t his tireplace with a ilegreSs named Alice Sweat, and Bo. c'ette's wife and five children were in an. other part of the house, a party of men en. tered the house and from it took Boche tte and Alice and applie l a buggy tree t > both of them. The arties who did t::is deed are unknown to t, bt it is unfo ::I nate they should have t i-n the law into their own han:ls. If B ocbette and this wo. :.un were vi sting the law and the decency of the connunittx, it would have been far better to have gone before a tmistrate and had the:u aunti-bl by th11 lw. W real ize the fact' t:t it is a ai' "lt natter to find convictin:, prof ta. paruish in such cases, neverthless, the whole c'mmun:ty knows to a m ral certainty that such a inis erable c:'nditton exists. In such a c:'e it wouldi be weil to empliy s n' olie to t.'r out the evidence rathv than estabisli a preceder.t of taking the law into our own hands. If Bocliette's relations with this womaan were of such a character t!:t h. deserved punishment, and we must take it for graut ed that they were. for no body of men in that comuniunity would have molested him, unless his conduct was unbearably obnox ious, it seems to us they could have found sufficient evidencte t.' convict him in a court of law. The buggy trace penalty might have a good efiect,aud cause a stop to be put to his Sweat, but it does not have the effect upon the community at large that a long serviee in the State penitentiary would have. Here is a case in which the grand jury of Clarendon County will be tierrlict in duty if they do no. look into. A nan and wo man living in a ciiliz-i co:u:unity within easy reach of schoois and churches, make themselves so obnoxious by their hellsh lust, that decency will not permit it to con tinue without a show. of disapproval. The fact of these people being taken out and strapped is suficient for the six hold-over members of the grand jury to inquire intc the cause and at the next term ot the court have both the man and woman before a jury to answer to the charge of adultery. it will not do to let this matter stop where it is, if the morais of this country are to be protected. It is not our purpose to create the impression that we have any sympathy for the man and woman: we have none, and the punishment they received was not se vere enough, and notwithstanding they were unlawfully whipped, the indignity imposed upon the community by these twc moral lepers has not, nor can a buggy tract flogging every night without the sanction of the law, make due reparation for the of fense. .-m..
