Local Intelligence. Miss Sue Galluchat paid her rela tives in Manning a short visit last week. The devotees'of the Reel and the Lancers spent a delightful evening last Thursday in the commodious hall over the store of Mr. L. Loyns. Mr. J. J. Barfield, who has been on a business trip to the "Land of Flow ers," has returned home. Reece James, colored, who was se verely injured some time ago, by a tree falhng on him, died last Wednes day. . The Agricultural Club will hold an important meeting next Monday. Delegates to the Convention at Colum bia are to be elected, and a number of interesting subjects on agriculture will be discussed. William.sburg Herald: We were very much gratified to see and have with us, a short while, our old friend, J. W. Fleming, Esq., of Salem, Clarendon County. Time deals geutly with Sa lem's honored peace officer. NEw EuU--s.-30twithstanding the stereotyped cry of "hard times," the town of Manning appears always to be moving on the upward grade; the sound of the saw, the hammer and the trowel, are beating a grand march to the enterprising movements. We are pleased to chronicle the new brick store, now nearing completion and being erected by Mr. S. Wolko viskie. When finished, it will add another li'k t> the brick chain now belting our oft-burnt and ill-fated "business square," fronting the Court House. It is hoped, that others, of a like character, may speedily follow, until an unbroken front shall be pre sented. Equally inviting, stands the unique and handsome cottage, now being made ready for occupation, through the efforts of our most excellent and energetic neighbor, 31rs. John A. Burges. Instead of vacancy and emptiness, we have on these lots something to add to the general ap pearance of the town. MOODEY .uD S.r.-After much looking and eager expectation, these world renowned revivalists have, at last, come to Charleston. They ar rived on the morning of the 24th ult., and met with a fit reception, from this historic, old "City by the Sea." They went, at once, to the immense Hall (Agricultural) prepared for them, and found a tremendous concourse awaiting them. Mr. Moody spoke, in feeling terms, of his Southern tour, and appears to be as well pl~ased with the people, as they are deligblted with him. The personal magnetism of the great man is simply wonderful No ordinary mortal can bring together thousands and tens of thousands of people, and hold them, as by enchant ment, for hours at a time. But, it were superfluous to add any thing of one so well known, and so much goten and written of. Old Charleston is an enthusiastic place, in every good work ; and the effect pro duced here, no doubt, will be of last ing good to many souls. MEEYIk~G of Co. EQ. BoAum.-The meeting of the County Board of Equalization was held, in Court House, on the 24th ult., pursuant to publish ed notice. The object, as we learn, was chiefly to hear complaints against the assessment of the meeting before, a brief resume of which was given, in the latest issue of the Tr~uES. The only formal complaint came from Har mony Township, in the Fork. The assessment there was: $3.50 for ara ble lands; $1.25, wood &c.; 20c. for swamp. As no substantial reason was offered why these persons should be benefitted by a reduction in value (only three or four names) against the silent acquiescence of the balance of the Township, the County Board did not feel authorized to grant the petition. -If there has been any dis satisfaction, other than this, no report reached the Board. A large portion of the County appear to think that the assessment should be raised, to something like the value of the prop erty, instead of having it reduced. Tows Corscr..-We would mest respectfully call the attention of the "Council" and our usually vigilant and active Intendant, to the fact, that the much and justly appreciated road or street, leading to the Depot, is sad ly deficient in one respect, and that in regard to the Kangaroo leap neces sary for pedestrians to make over that ditch in order to complete their trip to the railroad station. Now, we know Intendant Bell to be a famous rider, and can go over that difficulty at a bound, and is, therefore,. searcely in condition to appreciate the awful ex tremity, to which some persons would be reduced in getting over. We have always with us the blind, the lame and the halt, also an occasional case of what we might call extreme corpu lency. In regard to this latter fafing, we know at least one man, who goes there very often, laboring under the burden of 325 lbs., in tran-st to a neighboring town, and volunteer the assertion that our friend in his huge ponderosity, would take longer to cross that chasm, than the earth re quires to perform her voyage around the Ecliptic. "Side by side with this improve metw ma nd every other citizen of the town would be highly pleased to have the names of the streets posted up at convenient places; and let us know upon what streets we really live, and do business. It would cost but a trifle, and once known, they would then be ever afterwards. re meibered. What say you, City Fathers? FoRs'T Fau.-The entire wooded portion of our County seems to have been enveloped in a whirlpool of fire for the past few days; and, while we have heard as yet, no definite reports, the disaster is, no doubt, great. Mr. J. F. Cutter lost his stable and barn, and Mr. Henry Mims was a heavy loser in provisions etc., while many others, critically situated. The ex treme violence of the wind, urging on the devouring fiames, have wrought wholesale destruction to fences, and destroyed many fine forests. One gentleman has reported to us, who came into town, that, on his way, he saw hundreds of acres of pine trees burnt, to the top; and greater the ca lamity when we consider that they will not put out again, as is said to be the case when burnt in the month of March. The timber question is fast becoming one worthy of deep consid eration to our people, and our forests should be protected with great care. Not only is it a point to be viewed from the market value abroad, and uses to which the lumber is applied at home, but the effect., as has been well established by long observation, is very great upon the health, the rain fall and the vital prosperity of the County. These fires are very often the result of criminal carelessness sometimes intentional devastation. From the one or the other, in adequate measures should be meted out full punishment to all offenders. Since writing the above, other re ports followed fast, and in no way abating the extent of the damage but giving information that many oth er sections have suffered heavily. Mr. J. B. Andrews has been a heavy loser in having his entire pasture fence des troyed, and every other on the place; also, much harm resulting to Messrs. Thigpen, Broadway and others on Sammy Swamp; and Mr. Samuel Wil liams, near the town of Manning, who is short by similar accident, a large lot of fodder and 200 bushels of cot ton seed. It will be poor consolation for these gentlemen to know that they have many fellow sufferers all over the State, vet such is the case. This fire fiend ias surely been indulging in a fierce revel everywhere. Mr. John E. Scott, of Williamsburg, father of our esteemed townsman, J. E. Scott, Esq., lost his handsome res idence together with the outbuildings on his place, and a large quantity of provisions. The Presbyterian par sonage near Kingtree was destroyed, with the furniture of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Smith. A Fighting Editor. The champion fighting editor of the country lives at Albuquerque, New Mexico. As the story goes, eleven citizens of the variety known as "toughs," came to the conclusion a short time ago, that it was their duty in the interest of law and order, and the purity of the ballot box, to take the editor out and hang him. Now, our Albuquerque journalist lived alone in a log cabiu consisting of a sinule room with a cellar underneath. His only companion, a pet grizzly bear, occupied the cellar. On the night when the editor had good rea sons to expect a visit from the refor mers, he retired, leaving the upper room to the grizzly. At the hour of midnight eleven stal wart men arrived with a rope. They had no light, but they rushed against their man as~they supposed. For an editor he showed unusual pluck and strength. He went for the lynchers with such activity that the fight was over in five minutes. In the gray of early moning three men turned up in Albuquerque, each with an eye missing. One man called at the doctar's office with one foot and three fingers cbewed ofEi The remain ing seven reformers were loafing around on the streets more or less mutilated. When the alleged cause of the fracas got out the editor became the most popular man in the territory. His pa per is doing a booming business and he can get any office he wants. He keeps the grizzly in the cellar ready for an immergency. PANOLA NEWS. P~AoLu, S. C., Mch. 16th, 1886. MnT. EDrron:-As usual we are short of news, nevertheless may pick up something that may be of interest. To-day was noted for an interesting Trial Justice. Court. I think the an ticipated result was watched with more than ordinaru.nxiet 'wine to the peculiar gi~d/Jis a of law bearing upon the case, *idolv ed between the plaintiff and defend ant, than any case yet tried on Sam my Swamp. All seem interested to knowv what would alternately be the ruling of the Court. Judge MIahony is becoming popu lar; his rulings are endorsed by gen eral opinion, and in no case has his decisions ever been overruled by a higher Court. These Trial Justice Courts are getting so frequent and common, civil suits are constantly re sorted to that much speculation is indulged as to the propriety of sub mitting a prop~osition to remove the Court House from Manning to some elegant place for the convenience of Jurors, or as they aie called here, the Samn~y Swamp "walking batallion." Mr. B. Pressley Barron appeared for the defendant-Mr. James Mc Cauley prosecuted his own cause as plaintiff-the plaintiff managed his case with considerable adroitness and very ingeniously disputed every inch 'of ground, on reasonable facts. Mr. B however, being more learned in the advanced, and as is generally the case at a late hour, the "batallion" wanted their rations. Their minds and ap petites wanted no more law for a seas on, hence their couvusation ran on politics and farming with other topics of general interest. Politics are looming up; sensation al or real, the idea of new deal seems to be coitagious, many are outspoken at this early day who shall fill public office-favoritism no longer lurks in the political horizon and utterances of those interested declare that the office must seek the man-that cliques and rings if such things exist, must give way to the best interest of the Coun ty. I predict a strong support for B. Pressley Barron for Congress; he is daily m'aking friends, and we think he will be called upon and nominated for Congress. Hon. Jos. F. Rhame and Dr. Rich ardson are topmost just now in the minds of the people for the Senate both of them are being fully discuss ed; one or the other will be the peo ple's choice. The friends of Capt D. W. Brails ford are not satisfied with the result of the election two years ago, when he was left out, and they are deter mined to bring him before the people again for the Legislature. With the total abolition of the miserable prac tice of primaries, adopting once more the Conventional, I essay, Mr. Editor, that our County will have a smooth voyage over the political sea, and our candidates, whoever they may be, enjoy a calm and undisturbed rest -more anon, TOM. In Skillful Hands. Much has been said and written as to the usefulness of alcohol in the practice of medicine, and the doctors, as in all cases disagree as to the ad vantages gained by its use. Some prefer the common whisky. But there is considerable danger in the use of mercury and potash. These strong mineral poisons, in the hands of a skillful physician, may be made to serve a good purpose. We want it understood that we make no war on the regular pliysician. The danger in the use of these mineral poisons is when they are compounded by igno ramuses into nostrums as general "cure-alls." The fearful results of these nostrums are appearent to the observer on every thoroughfare. We see men's faces giving evidence of excruciating pain, we note the halting step and the unwieldy crutch, we hear of sore throats and loose teeth, of disordered stomachs and loss of appe tite, the emaciated form and sunken eyes, all telling of murdered constitu tions by indiscriminate use of these strong poisons. It is fortunate that a specific has been discovered to coun teract these evil consequences, and bring back life and health and happi ness to the unfortunate victims. Swift's Specific is that boon to hu manity. Sentd for Treatise on Skin and Blood Diseases. Address THE SwIrr SPEcIFIC Co., Draver 3, Atlanta, Ga. 157 W. 23rd St., New York. G.
