THE MNNflNG TIMES. Pdished Ecery Wea'nesday. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 1 1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. The Manning Cemetery. It is with painful surprise that we witness the utter and long continued negligence on the part of those who are interested in our cemetery, to wards beautifying which nature has done her part with lavish hands, and werso little. With its beauteous hill side, sloping gently away and having as a background the verdure of spring and i4 autumn a landscape of surpass ing lo'eliness, withal the rank weed, a bold - trespasser on these sacred grounds, the peaceful abode of the dead. Why is this ? Can it be that those whom we laid away to rest with breaking hearts and many tears are so soon forgotten and faded from our memories ? Nay, within us there is an ever abiding and tender remembrance of our loved ones, but the chief trou ble lies in the old adage, that "what is everybody's business is nobody's." When our esteemed and estimable fellow citizen, Dr. G. Allen Huggins passed away and was laid there to rest, we all then felt the loss and now how badly apparent! This cemetery was his particular charge and to him a la bor of love. Whatever there is of or nanientation or adornment came from his cultured hand and his ready purse, defraying nearly the entire charge within himself. Will the mantle de volve-on no one? It occurs to us that the most feasi ble and expeditious manner of getting at the upatter is to organize a cemete .iycommittee, of some of our best cit zens and raise funds by some enter tbinment, contribution, and every otl r'available source. The space is noN neaty consumed and at the near fu ture the people of our town will find themselves suddenly confronted by ' ifidemand fora burial place and nc place.available. It is strange, passing that the only really certair in life is regarded and trified as though a contingency very re o~ e a something that may or maj -Above all others the street leadina there ought to have the strictest car( attention from the town authori when really it is totally and en neglected. Let us make the ef - mtat least and remove this stigma m our town. It is the last resort the living and should be guard. e&u looked after as a home for ma 1 sooner or later. r ' r Exit Mr. Tiliman.

Then, al that farmer Tillman had to do was tc plan, denounce, and doom, and it wa~ well-nigh done. But reason has taker ~sthe place of harrangue, and quiet de Sliberation superseded denunciation SThis course will be found and has al .yays been observed to be the one fin Sally dominant and overpowering. While the farmers are determined, and justly so, to maintain their rights, we hear no invasion of the domain of oth ers. The time has come and with no u~i~ncertain sound the proclamation of the sovereign people gone forth -6 through their representatives, [that Tilman can only agitate them in fu urthough the generous rivalry of po aiing corn, hogs, and cotton-some thing more, at least, than afire-eating campaign against our constituted au thorities, and all who 'may chance to ifer with him. Exit Mr. Tillman ! CONFEDERATE PENS103ERS. There never has been a day in the -history of South Carolina, when she could with more propriety than now, shut eye and ear to every other de mand, until the movement on foot in the Legislative Halls be entirely effect ed, for relieving the sore want and dire distress of the heroes of our Lost Cause, who surrendered -limbs, health, and happiness, while battling -manfully for the life and honor of the old State. Many, very many of these survivors who entered the army at are nof hampered with the decripi udofold age, fighting for bread, and often upon their crutches. This is indeed a sorry sight to witness; and too long already has the good cause been allowed to lag and fostered only by-sentiment. These veterans need nore substantial aid; and though left to the cold charities of the world now -. naor a quarte of a century, it is a cause of rejoicing that our law-mak ers take hold of it with an evident de termination to do whatever lies in the power of the State to accomplish. There is no need for any one to urge the impoverished condition of ou country. This is a debt as sacred as our obligation ever becomes; and ii anything else must be given over. let this be among the last. Let sunshine once more fall with Heavenly benedic tion, into the hearts of those who havc so long, in bitterness of spirit, mourn ed their unhappy lot. Instead of cost lv monuments for the dead, let u; cherish their virtues and imitate their valor, but at the same time hold the protecting hand over these sad, help less relics of a day gone by. There are two plans of affording this relief, under discussion; one tc aid them by a pension of a few dol lars per month, the other to build t "Soldier's Home," with every necessa ry appliance for comfort and care The former we think, by far, the bet. ter plan and one having almost every thing in its favor. Many of these ben eficiaries are aged and iufirm, needius the attention of their friends and f-am ilies. Six or eight dollars per monti sent to them would very largely hell to pass them over the rough places ii life. To require them to remrin a the Inssitution would prove a hardsblj so severe, as to practica'lly nullify thi benefits contemplated. We are sur that many would forego all consider ations, rather than leave home, child ren, and friends, whose comfort aui consolation are as much needed as the money supplied. No, pension them at home, the hell will then prove etficacious and mee the designs of those Legislators, nov so alive to their best interests. The Charleston Sun says: "A nev farmers organization is making rapii headway in this State. It is known as the "Farmers' Alliance," and start ed three years ago in Texas, where i is now wealthy and powerful. It seem to be spreading in South Carolim from along the North Carolina line." From what we can learn the nev organization differs from what is pop ularly termed the Tillman movemen in many respects. First, in their lib eral conservatism which condemns the revolutionary .acclaim that all othe: classes are united in the effort to op press the farmer, and again they loot to their improvement and advance ment more by individual effort a home than in Legislative enactment: and abuse of the State government The new organization subiar''ate: the assertion that the more Tillmanisn is discussed and ventilated, the weak er Mr. T's position appears and th< more ridiculous he shows up; and i is a pleasurable fact to note that a ful knowledge of the man and his motive is followed by desertion from his flam ing banner. The Chata?'o?' en for November, i fully as interesting as its predecessors Mrs. E. C. Nettles A'sbrook, the edi tor, is enthusiastic over her magazine and is fully determined to make i rank first among the educational pub lications of the day. From the Palmnetio Post: They say that one in the etheres bliss of Paradise can hear the groan: and see the writhing of the daminet in hell. If Charleston is Eden, whern is hell? Is it Mount Pleasant? Foreston Circuit. The Rev. J. S. Porter, of Foreston writing to the Southern Christian Ad vocate, says: "The work of the Lord has prosper ed in our hands on Foreston Circui this year, for which we return heart felt gratitude to Him. Our health as well as that of our loved ones, with little exception, has been excellent We were deprived of the pleasure o attending our District Conference a Summerton, because of an attack o chills and fever, which shook us ou of a great pleasure. Our other ap pointments were all filled except St Mark, which we missed once owing t< the fact that the dentist was causing us to make very wry faces and a num ber of earnest grunts. Our congrega tions have been very fine, both i1 numbers and attention, except at Re hoboth, where the country is thiinly settled. Quite a number have profesi ed conversion-I do not know hov many; but there have been manj whose expression of life and counte nance proved their change of heart One hundred and thirty-nine have joined the Church. One death, twc withdrawals, and three remnovnls, giv. ing us a net gain of one hundred and thirty-three. There is an increase oj twenty-three family altars; seven Sun day schools, an increase of three; five hundred and sixty Sunday school pu. pis, an increase of three hundred and thirteen. So you see wve have tried to look after all of our duties. This Circuit paid the preacher in charge and Presiding Elder in full, with ai smal surplus at our fourth Quarterly Conference. We have collected over twice as much on Conference consoli dated collections as has ever been col lected from the Circuit, but at the same time will not make a very good showing at Spartanburg, ewing to our enormous assessment. W e are assess ed higher than any charge in Sumter District according to' ability. We can rejoice with Betts, as the hind ladies of J o r d a n present ed us with a suit of fine clothes. May the Lord bless them for their kind ness,.and in fact the whole Circuit, for these are the kindest people as a whole, that wve have ever had the pleasure to serve. You can just say to Bishop McTyeire, he can let us and for anther vear at least." __- A CARD). Mi. F. P. Cooper's Promise. Editor Mm.yNxco Tnrs: I have seen a copy of your paper of last wc-ek. As ] Sir. Scott has shown such exemplary pata'we in the past by "sitting on a monument," (I wonder if he got up there to watch until the Solicitor was well out of sight) "smiling at (his) grief," I hope that both he and the public will wait until next week, at wl~ich time I shall endeavor to pay my compliments to the Ex-Auditor of Clarendon County and to him as an in'dividual. Let him not be deceived that because he saw fit to charge that the presentment of the Grand Jury was "(Jooapered" in my shop that he shall be allowed to go Scott free. Fr.sK P. CoopER. Dec. 3, 1887. A Reply. For arox. S. C., Nm o':her :G, 188. Editor M:xasxsc Txa : In vonr i-"e of the 23rd it:stant was pnb:isheLl ,n signed by one W. D. T ri. wi ed natterconcerning t: qitesion of 1ar Kiln and Pine Grove scl. It clearly indicatL from itsanuage cm plete ignorance of the tret anin o nings around the Pine Grove c. ool, which is the place selected by an iii. i;ent B a of Trustees notwithstanding tb-ir being farm ers, and with whom tihe p oc of Dstrict No. 3 are well pleased, n on i: ith thi; intelligence as such, but with t.wre more in telligent action cone, r.:i:v te sch.ool under their charge. The writer claims that the school ought to have been continued at Tar Kiln because the people own property, torgating at the same time that a school is not necessarily to be where the people own ro.pert7, but rather where people are and in :he judgment of the Trustees where the selwwa onght to be, as a. man not owning prop:rty has as touch right to have his children edtcated as the one owning property, but mirc s.. 'T heir being so much wealth around the Tar Kiln school, as represented in the article referred to, the people there ought to feel it no ha lship to support a school theusclves, and not rely upon the public fund, although it is intend ed to benefit more than a few. In regard to another statement therein we say, that a man can only claim that to which he is entitled and should be .content with .the judgment of those upon whom? he relies and from whom he feels nothing bet what is merited, will be bestowed, however much he may expect. The statement a, t> the pa trons all except four being renter, will not stand investigation, and only Exhibits the true spirit of one who is not inclined to think that others are competent beside himself, because very frcquently a man thinks his ability greater than it really is. I suppose the patrons of Tar Kiln school have met with an irreparable loss by the rejection of the writer on reform. The reformation in the judgment of the patrons has taken place; and woe unto him vho is a reformer and not himself a creature of the reformation. Respectfully, T. T. HuLT:ro.
