W. E. Wiggins, Methodist pastor at New Zion in this coun ty the past year had died very suddenly, just as he was about to move for his new work in the upper part of the State. The Southern Christian Advocate took notice of the statement, and paid a nice tribute to Rev. Wiggins, giving him a pretty little obituary and saying many pleasant thiugs about him. It has since turned out that the Greenville News was mistaken, and Rev. Wiggins not only lives, but goes to his new work with good spirits and we suppose quite pleased at the many pleasant things that were said about him. We con gratulate brother Wiggins upon living to read his own pleasant obituary. L T Travis, agent Southern R R, Selina, Ga, writes, "I cannot say too much in praise of One Minute Cough Cure.

D 0 Rhame, Summerton; Dr W I Brockin ton, Manning. The county board of commissioners met last Saturday. and by request Senator Appelt and Representatives Richardson, Woods and Jones met with them, in order that matters in general pertaining to the county's affairs might be discussed and the delegation familiarize themselves with the the county's needs. Commissioners Owens, Turbeville and Felder have run the affairs of the county on business-like princi ples the past year, and they expect to be able to pay every dollar of its indebtedness. Con siderable routine business was transacted, and among other things it was decided to discontinue farming on the poor farm and allow Mr. Steadham, the superintendent, the use of the place for distributing rations to the inmates. There are now very few inmates at the poor farm. Upon the whole Clarendon county's affairs are in as good condition as they h'sve been for many years. The old indebtedness is gradually reduced every year and under the management of the present commissioners the credit is good, where cash is not paid down for all that is bought. J I Bevry, Loganton, Pa, writes, "I am willing to take my oath that I was cured of pneumonia entirely by the use of One Min ute Cough Cure after doctors failed. It also cured my children of whooping cough." Quickly relieves and cures coughs, colds, croup, grippe and throat and lung trou bles. Children all like it. Mothers en dorse it. D 0 Rhame, Summerton; Dr W M Brockinton, Manning. The Rev. James McDowell, a few week's ago, tendered his resignation ats pa'3tor of the Presbyterian Church here, but at a congregational meeting the members de clined ro accept the resignation. Mr. Mc Dowell bits insisted upon its being ac cepted. and at a special meeting ot Har mony Presbytery held in Sumter last week his relationship as pa'stor of this church was dissolved. Rev. McDowell has for forty two years been pastor here; the only pastor that this church has ever had, and is loved and revered by all who know him, regard. less of denomination. As a valliant soldier he has served fatihfnlly. Last Sunday he preached his farewell sermon, reading from the mintes of the Presbytery an ex tract announcing the official action of that body in dissoiving his pastoral relations, and in the congregation there were few ees that were not shedding tears. Should h'e accept work elsewhere' he will carry with him the best wishes of this entire community, and abould it mean his retire ment from the active ministry he has the prayers of all good people for many years of peaceful rest, until he is called to re eive the reward in store for all such faith ful servants of God. "I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my health and life. It cured mie of lung trouble following grippe." T1hou sands owe their lhves to the prom pt action of this never failing remedy. It cures oughs, colds, crong, bronchitis, pneu monia, grippe and throat and lung trou bles. Its early use prevents consumption. It is the only bar ,less remedy that gives immediate results.

A startling incident, of which Mr. John narratted by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated. pain continually in back and sides, no ap petite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Elec tric Bitters; and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim," No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts per bottle at R. _B.

Price 25m' and 50o. Louis Burgress Ellled. An unfortunato killing ocenrred at Pine wood lst Saturday afternoon, in which Louis Eiirgess, a negro raised in this town and well known to many town connei's was the victi:'. and Condnetor F. H1 Hursey. of the local freight train between Sumter and Deniark, was t be slayer. Ba r ge.-s was a train band asd he and Con ductor Hursey had an :tereatiori at Rimi ini, in which Mr. Hursey ordert-d Bntgess to leave the train. At Pinewoo.l thev both were on the ground and the trcuAl w.as renewed. when Conductor Hnrsey ordared Burgess not to board the train again. Ser eral statvi-cnts prevail as to what accurr-d just prior to the shooting; oie bein:. that Burgess ha:1 a stick, und another that he put his hand -n his pocket to draw a knife. or a pistol, when b- was shot onc? by Mr. Hursey;.

Johnson and Mr. Irough ton ail taken in custody by Sheriff Brad haml. He was accompanied Dy his atto: ney, Mr. R 0. Purdy. Sohc:tor Wils.:n was conferred with and. after examing the testimony given at the coroner's inq'iest, decidel not to oppose the granting of bail to Nir. iursey provided ball be fixed at a sum not less than two tbonsand dollars. Mr. Purdy will probably be able to obtain bail before Judge Buchanan today and if so 51r. Hursey will immediatelv give bond and lie will be free until the February term of court here. rhere was some excitement at Pinewood Sunday and Monday and it was thought by some that negroes who were incensed by the kili!ng would rise up and either burn the town or canse other troub!e, but it seems that there could have been no very sufficient ground for such fears, and that most of the talking was (lone by only a few negroes. Magistrate Raiin sent the frllowing tele gram to Governor McSweeiey: "His Excellency, Governor McSweeney: "Please send by earliest express tweuty five repeating rifles and a thousand rounds of cartridges. Send at once. I am respon sible. I must have them. "A. P. RGINr, Magistrate." Governor McSweeney had no authority to send out rifles that way, and telegraphed to know the state of affairs. Sheriff Brad ham was the proper party to be informed as to any trouble,-as he is the chief execu tive of the county, and as the Governor had heard nothing from the sheriff he did dot send the rifles. He got a statement of the condition of affairs at Pinewood from Representative H. B. Richardson, who ar rived in Columbia Monday, and held him self ready to instruct the sheriff in case any trouble should arise, and call out the niili tia if necessary. Sheriff Bradham s..v, he has heard noth ing further of any trouble at Pinewood and he expects matters are quiet there. Conductor Hursey has since been grant ed tail in the sum of two thousand dollars by Judge Buchanan. The bond was im me.iately given and be was released and returned to his home in Florence. It was rumored that there would be trou ble at Pinewood on Tuesday and that two or three prominent citizens were to be lynched, and in consequence Governor McSweeney ordered the onuter Guards to be in readiness to proceed to the scene of the trouble at any moment. In the mean time Sheriff Bradham was in tonch with the Pinewood authorities and the Gover nor, and had eight or ten well selected men ready to accompany him to Pinewood at any moment. Latest accounts say that everything is quiet at Pinewood. Cidren cry for the moon; wien they grow up they want the earth. Quick Results. Coolidge, Ky., Aug. 1, 1898.
