Manning has used every precau ton to keep tho ~pest out, and with all of the vigilance of the authorities,one case has shown itself here. If vaccination is a pre ventative then by all means have it done; the disease is all over this section of the county. The Cuban question and political issues sink into insignificance with the man who suffers from piles. What he most desires, is relief. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles. R. B. Loryea, Manning ; L. W. Nettles, Foreston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan. Too much care cannot be taken at this time to prevent desease from spreading and we would advise, besides vaccination, that promiscuous visiting be stopped, that each family keep their premises scru pulous clean and a liberal use of disinfect ants. We would advise the burning of tar and sulpher which is a- very fine disin fectant. A rather exciting affair occurred last Sat urday night on our streets. A colored mnn by the name of Richmond Belser had been~ disorderly at his house to the annoyance of his neighocrs, and the matter was re ported to the police. Later the fellow came down town and was arrested by Policeman Clark. Belser went along quietly and when they reached the guardhouse, whilo the policeman was preparing to unlock the door Belser broke and ran, retusing to atop when ordered and was fast making his escape. The policeman opened fire upon him and shot five times, two of the shots taking effect; one ball entered the shoulder and the other a thigh. Belser was not seriously hurt, as he was limping. -the street last Monday. iomas Legare, M. D. Legare, M.

THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. i COUNTY OF CLARENDON. PnESEN :ENT. To His Honor R. C. Watts, Judge presiding at Mlay term, 1896: The grand jury herewith report that they have acted upon the bills handed them by the Solicitor. In our last presentment we made some recommendations which we regarded im portant and was surprised that they have not been acted upon: We recommend ed the purchase of a stove for the couuty jail: we also recommended that the County Supervisor take his chaingang and make the necessary repairs to the buildings at the poorhouse. Neitner of these matters have had attention and we desire to bring same to the court's attention, that it pro cure a reason for this apparent indifference to our recommendations, which were made for the welfare of both of the institutions. At a future time we will, through a com mittee, examine the various county offices. Complaint has reached us about the vio lation of the seed cotton law and as a con sequence we present for indictment Grant Ballard, Pat Henry Felder, Shovine Felder, Warsaw Miller, Wade Harvin, Frasier Simmons and Wes Miller, and that J. H. Eadon is a material witness and he will furnish to the Solicitor the names of other witnesses to prove the same. Respectfully submitted, W. . JENXKInsoN, Foreman. Immediatelv after the business was con cluded the death of the late Colonel B. Pressley Bairon was formally announced and a memorial service was held. Hon. Joseph F.

Editor Tim Tnmzs: As it might interest some of your readers, I send you the sequel of what happened at Blakeley's planta tion, Clarendon Fork, during the Revolutionary War. Tradition tells us that Major Har rison was the British officer spoken of, that he was a brave man and was also a suitor for the hand of Miss Mary Witherspoon, hence could not bear his successful rival. Captain Conyers, spoken of in words of praise, and that, as was the fashion in those good old fighting days between ri vals, there was an understanding be tween the British major and the Par tisan captain of cavalry, that when they met in battle the rivalry should end with the life of one of them. That meeting took place, according to Sims' History of South Carolina, (pp. 210 and 211) at Taw-caw, where Mar ion placed an ambush for Col. Wat son. The first ambush was under the command of Horry, who had orders to give the enemy only two shots and then retire; as ammunition was very scarce the second was of cavalry under Captain Conyers. Horry re treated after delivering two effective fires, pursued by the British cavalry under Major Harrison. The latter encountered Conyers at the head of the American horse. Here the two rivals recognizing each other, deter mined to end their feud by personal combat. They fought with swords in the presenice of their troops, and Conyers slew his gallant rival. Taw-caw is in Clarendon county, and the scene of this tragedy was on Mr. William G. Frierson's plantation. "I.". Manning, S. C.

It has been. itated and restated that he would not suc eed himself as Governor of the State. It is remarkable that those who have raised a cry against him have not found texpedient to specify his errors or mis akes. Specific complaint has been manitestly voided which is certainly significant. That he has made mistakes is but natural, but that his opposers have not been wi'~ ig to call attention to any wrong tact or 2istake upon which to ground their comu plaint, is rather suggestive of the fact that thev are conscious of the unreasonableness and weaknuess of their position. The source and cbaracter of tihe expres sions of disapproval are rather suggestive that his methods have not pleased a num ber of politicians wvho expected that his nluence would be contributed towards the srying out of partisan plans and in dividal agnrandizeinent. We need less scheming in politics and broader views and a higher appreciation of ieal patriotism and statesmanship. I We need less factionalism strife an a ffice seeking among our people, and a1 ore charitable spirit manifested w.ith reference to honest differences of opin Governor Ellerbe promised to be Giover nor of the whole people, and his inaugural ddress really committed him to a policy which ignored party factionalism. We are not prepared to fully espous the cause of any can didate for gubernait rial honors. We do not understand the different policies which mfay~ be outlined and endorsed by the different candidates for office, but we are prepared to give our present Governor credit for a morally can record in his private life, and in the luter est of patriotic broadness and1 civil pro ress, we commend him for endeavoring to be true to the policy to which he comimtted himself and in the interest of which he pledged his administration.-Lake City Limes.

Superintendent. lie need ed no introduction to the school: for all there had knowin and loved himi. as their superintendent before, some from the Manning Baptist Sunday School., others from the Sammy Swamp Sunday School Brother Briggs has done a noble work among the children in the past; and we are all so rejoiced to have him among us again. He promised us. that lie would ask his Pastor, Rev. Connors, of Summerton, to preach the first sermon in our new church: and we hope that it will be in the near fu ture, for we certainly, will esteem it as quite a privilege to have Brother Connors visit us. Speaking of Brot her Briggs' work among the children, recalls an incident that happened a few years ago. The children of a school were requested to meet one afternoon, to be organized into a childrens' society; the pastor of the church was alsoaskedto be present, and assist in the organization. when the day arrived many bright little boys and girls were present, anxious to join, and find out what they could do for their Saviour. At the last mo ment, came a message from the pas tor, saying, it would be impossible for him to be present. What was to be done' It looked as if the meeting would be a failure, and some of the children had come several miles to join: when some one whispered. ".Send for Mr. Briggs. That whisper was like an inspiration, for all there knew, that lie had never failed the children yet. He came, organized them into a society known as rhe Orphans Friends," and the children did good work for Connie Maxwell Orphanage; and in many houses to day you will find pictures I of the Orphanage, sent to these child-! ren by Brother Vass although the work was done exclusively by the children, Brother Briggs never missed a single meeting. After the election of the Superin tendent, the school was then organ ized and 46 menbers enrolled, We had another meeting last Sunday 10 new menbers joined, making a total menbership of 56. A beautiful tribute was paid to the memory of Brother John Umphries who was the superintendent there years ago. We were glad to have his daughter Mrs. McLeod, with us at our tirst meeting; we also have grand children, and great grandchildren of Brother Umphries enrolled as mem bers. The hour of meeting has been changed from four, to five o'clock. We hope soon to organize the church, anti call a pastor. Our doors are op en, all are invited to come, they will receive a cordial welcome. We also ask for the prayers of christian peo p~le, that we may have a blessing and thereby enabled to do a good work for our Master's kingdom. Remem ber the hour, 5 o'clock every Sunday afternoon. T.
