THE MNING TXES. WEDNESDAY, OCT, 5 1837 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. THE PRESIDENT ON THE WING. The much talked of, and long pro jected visit of President Cleveland through the South West, has in reality been entered upon and from news paper reports of his progress, he is meeting everywhere a perfect ovation, and his speeches, storms of applause. It is highly gratifying to witness this triumphal march after the bercu lean efforts on the part of croakers, sore heads, and gangrened leaders of the Grand Army of the Republic and others from time to time to cast mud upon him and bring his Administra tion under reproach. It is calculated to give confidence and cause us to feel that there is still left in the old -land yet, genuine patriotism and a people willing, whatever way be their peculiar differences, to give the palm where justice, reason, and right pro claims it due. The grand rallying at every point along his route and the scores of in vitations froni Cities and Towns to take them in, exhibits an earnestness and zeal far beN ond idle curiosity; but rather savoring of a desire, not only to see our worthy Chief of the Nation, but to demonstrate to him and the Country, their just apprecia tion of his manly and statesman like efforts to reform abuses, and advance in every way the material interest and prosperity of the land; and for all classes. This eloquent testimonial of a peoples esteem and confidence, met on every hand, have no doubt convin ced the "old Hacks" of the Republican party that something more striking than the attenuated and thread-bare "Confederate Flag" enormity must be hatched with which to breast this Alpine torrent. The astute and sol emn visaged Chief did not forget or neglect to carry along that "ray of sunshine" from the White House that first little lady of the Land, who as he well knows, has captured every heart coming witbin range of her bewitching smiles. He very sensibly recognized her as a potent factor in his conquest. Like the great French 1mperor, who did not disdain to ac knowledge that, while he gained victo ries in the field, Josephine achieved triumphs, no less important at home, by winning friends and overcoming enemies. We believe that, ere the President complets his tour West ward, the question as to "who will be our next Chief Magistrate" will find a ready answer. YOUNG CHARLESTON TO THE FRONT. The News and Courier publishes the organization, quite recently, of the young men of the city of Charleston iato a Democratic club, the purpose of which is, first, last, and all the time, to exert themselves in behalf of the city, and that city alone; but of genu ine, "blue- stocking" Democratic priu ciples, acting always under, and for the welfare of the Party. It is evident, from the zeal in which they inaugurate matters, ibat it is not designed to be a mere club house af fair-an effervescence of the punch bowl, but a patriotic ,endeavor to lift the gallant and historic old "city by the sea," up to its merited place among the cities of our land. And having a purpose most honorable, so much to commend it to all and backed by the g'outhful sibews of the place, in a uni - .ted and enthusiastic effort, who will .sttempt to prophecy that they will Iail? -The undertaking may be assailed .iby its opponents as a piece of politi -cal machinery, and for the benefit and sauvancement of certain men or fac tions. We have more confidence in the young men of Charleston than to believe that they will ever suffer themselves to be used as tools for any pmrpose. But there is no valid reason apparent, why a power so potent, as .this organization, properly handled, promises to be, khould not be weilded -as a thunderbolt against anything that wcomes in the way of progress to the city, whether men or measures or give a fostering agency to any worthy cause. The warm and sanguine efforts of the young men of the State have helped the old ship over many shal lows, and politicians need not become wild. Military Inspection The military review, inspection, and parade of the military companies of the county was an occasn to be re membered in Manning. Early in the day, horsemen in the State regulation uniform began coming into town and by twelve the streets were crowded with these gallant gentlemen. They made the largest military gathering ever assembled in our town, and to add to the interest and attractiveness of the day, the Sumter colored brass band were employed to be present to furnish the Military music. This they did well and to the satisfaction of all. About three o'clock the companies assembled on the square of the court house to be inspected by the adjutant general. The Connor Mounted Rifie men numbered 30 men, .the Hampton Light Dragoons 35, and the Manning Guards 42. To the tune of a spirited air from the band. Gen Bonham and' his Staff, Maj. D>. B. Anderson and Lieutenant DesChamps appeared on the square on richly caparisoned' horses, the admiration of all parties. The inspection took place immediate ly and was very creditable indeed to the Clarendon military. At its con clusion, Gen. Bonham made a brief address to the companies. He spoke of the increased interest aroused among the people for the military, and every effort to influence the Legisia- : ture to make a large appropriation for the military fund. The Generol was very much pleased with tie appear ance of our companies and flattered them by referring to the complimen tary report he would make of thenm to Clarendon's Govenor Richardson. Maj. Anderson being called upon for a speach gracefully responded in his usual happy style. His appropri ate remarks were received with ap plause. OBSERVATIOS. Captain Briggs, of the Rifles, Cap tain Brailsford, of the Dragoons, and Captain Levi, of the Guards. won the hearty congratulations of the large crowd for the skill'ul manage ment of their respecLive ecmmands. Master Lucian Brailsford, on a mlag nificent looking three year old colt, the property of the captain of the Dragoon-, wras the knightliest looking knight of all the mounted calvarymen. He completely won the smiles of all the lovely ladies. Mr. W. E. Davis, of the Riflemen, exhilbited marvelous horsemanship ii his management of a spirited firey horse. The animal made viscious at tempts to unseat biw, but to no pur pose. After the inspection the Guards gave a dress parade before General Bonham, which he pronounced fault less. This command is determined to sustain the enviable reputation made for itself at the Smrtanburg Encampment. Although one of the youngest, the Guards rank among the first companies of the State. S. Wolkoviskie, of the palace saloon, thoughtfully, and very generously, furnished gratuitously, iced lemonade for the men while undergoing inspec tion. He has the unanimous tha.uks. of all who enjoyed his bounty. SKIRiMISH DI.LL, ETC. [From the News c, Courier.] Gen Borham drilled the Manning Guaad.s to-night in the skimish drill for about an hour, after which the Guards and their guests retired to the armory, where they went through the cork drawing exerc.ise in a style that would do credit to veterans. Speech-I es were made by Gen Bonham, Maj. C. S. Land, Maj. H. H. Lesesne, Maj. Anderson and Capt Levi. The Guards were organized in February last and through the efforts of the noble ladies of the town and our liberal hearted merchant, Moses Levi, were uni formed in June. The Guards attend ed the Inter-State Encampment in August, where they covered them selves with glory, and to-day their soldierly appearance and military manmuvriug brought fourth the applause of the many visitors present. - 4 I- - TilE CHATAUQUAN. We have upon our desk the first issue of "the Chatauquan" a magazue devoted to the Educational interest of the Country; having for its Editor and Proprietor Mrs E. C. Nettles, Alsbrook, formerly of our Town. We congratulate Mrs. Alsbrook on the neat and attractive appearance of "the Chatauquan" and~ hope and believe that it will meet with success. It is very readable and instructive to teachers and scholars, indeeed to all, and well worth the small amount of the subscription. THE CITY OF THE SAND HILL.. Fuzcros, S. C,., October 1, 1887. Want of facts or the requisite imagination with which -'to point a moral or adorn a tale," has enforced upon us a period of si lence, wich, no doubt, many of the Trexs' readers devoutly hoped would be perpetual. The TL'rs, at present, is such an epitome of literary excellence, replete with something adapted to every class of its readers, that I fear my efforts will be deemed empirical. But the inspiration to say something, is why we break our long silence. This in spiration is heightened by this beautiful af trnoon with its wealth of soft sunlight, bathing the tops of the stately sycamores in a floodtide of golden glory, laughing joyous ly ore a Landscape rendered still more pic turesque by the hazy mist-the precurser of Indian summer-that girdles the horrizon, lavishing upon foliage still "decked in liv ing green," its warm kisses, caressing these children of the sun crowned king-summer, ere their emerald hue shall put on the garb of richest carnation, orange, red, or crim son, rich and splendid; and then, alas ! as a seguana of this morning's first chilling em brace of the Frost King, "the leaves begin to turn," and fade away into the "seer and yellow leaf." A party at Captain A. M. Brailsford's last Friday evening, was largely attended by the beauty and chivalry of this and adjoining. counties, and was a most de lightful affair We regretted our inability to attend. Ex-Governor Manning is homce. after a two mionthsi visit to Camden. His return has been longed for, and every one is gen inely glad that he is at "Milford" again. Apropos of the Governor, the papers; are saying that he is the only ante belium govern or alive. Without disparaging or redlecting upon any of this distinguished line of pa triots and statesmen, my high admiration and veneration for Governor Manning, imii pels me to say of him, "This is the noblest Roman of them all.'' When shall we see such a galaxy again. Mr. J. W. Weoks, who has been luxuriating in tlie balmy attuo's phere of the fashionable health resorts, has returned home. In the pursuit of health, for he looks the quintescence of health, an d indeed the "giass of fashion, aind the mould of form, the observed of all ob~servers." Mr. A. M. Brailsford, jr., rececives the hearty congratulations of his friends upon his wmnning the appointment to the Citadel. Young Mouhirie has luaudible ambition, and will, no doubt, achieve for himself distinc tion. We do not look for his transition into dudeisni, though he will attend the "dude factory," sic: Tillman. Five persons were confirmed by Bishop Howe, last Sunday, at St. Marks. In the af teruoon the Bishop visited the colored mis sion. The charming boulevard leading fho~m the Postoffice to the beautiful esplanaide oppo sie Captain Brailsford's palatial mansion, has been closed, and a ditch of great depth dug across it by direction of the owner of the land. This has proved, indeed, a trap for the unwary nocturnal equestrians and pedestrians who have tumbied into it, es caping by a hair's breadth the chiiiy em brace of the monster death. A well known military gentle-man and his fair charge were wending their way to the ball, when they were added to the list of victims of this dev I ilish pitfall. We draw a veil over emotions I too deep for words. Later on a carriage was completely capsized; then, just as the silvery, moon was sinking into her wester~n boudoir, our friend, "Occasional" scented the dangec from afar; but in pursuit of pleasure he is i.deal, he put his steed out to the igh est peed, wita a tremendous leap his Loise anded his dog-cart .ed occupue ts , nhurt, >n the safe Side (f 1the galchi. ,,.nly '-Occa ional" could have bet equal to such an mergency; ho never "ge.. i t."
