T T: ~N G TIMS. Pub i.hedl Ecc'try T I Id td cay. WEDNESDAY, C. 21 1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. Dr T. R Laaree has introduced a bill in the Legislature requiring the superintendent of the penitentiary to provide seperate maintenance, lodging and training for criminals under fif teen years of age. The purpose of -the bill is a good one and carries out the laws intent in establishing penal institutions for the reformation of the -sinning. The youthful convict suffer ing perhaps for his first crime may be benefited by Ibis incarceration or a least he may be let loose -no worse than when he entered the prison walls, if he is kept apart frem older and hardened criminals. But association with this class must inevitably uproot the last lingering spark of morality and manhood to be replaced by that hopeless depravity of the grayhaired wretches. It is very surprising that this important matter has not receiv ed attention before this. The daily Register reaches this of fce not more than twice a week. We have attempted to keep a file of it but have had to abandon this pleasure on account of its irregularity in coming. The Register is very much appreciat ed as an exchange, and we regret that it comes so irregularly. In the new organization of the stand ing committees in the United States Senate the two Senators from this State are assigned as follows: Senator Hampton on the committees on coast defences, on epidemic diseases, to ex amine the several branches of the civ 11 service, on fisheries, on military af fairs; Senator Butler, on territories, on transportation routes to the sea 'board, on additional accommodations for the library, on naval affairs. The Anderson Journal thinks the State is sorely in need of a section in the constitution to prohibit the legis ature from continually changing the politax age. It says this has become one of the most perplexing and an nioying features of legislation in these days. ____'___ Arnr, N. Y., December 19.-Er Secretary Daniel Manning is reported to be crItically iIn. His physician is non-committal, and at Manning's ~C son's residence, where the ex-secreta ry is stopping, Manning is reported a Tittle better to-day." Evening.-Mr. Manning's family er absolutely reticent about his con dtion, and his physician refuses to make any statement beyond saying that he does not think there is imme diate danger of his death. It is be lieved that there was on Sunday a re currence of the stroke which affected him a year ago, and that his family was summoned to his bed side in ex pectation that death was imminent A very sensational cowhiding scrape occurred in King street, near Market, about 7 o'clock lost night; in which Daniel Brown, the King street furni ture dealer, was severely thrashed. The cowhiding was administered by a woman, while a man, presumably her husband, stood over Brown with a cocked pistol, with which he thr-eaten ed to shoot Brown if he made any re istance or attempted to escape. The whole affair was over in a very few mnoments and the assaulting party * walked off withont being arrested or even recognized, so far as could be learned last night. No report of the assault was made to the stationhouse, although it took place in front of Mr. Brown's store, and was witnessed by quite a number of promenaaers who happened to be in the vicinity at the time. The cowhiding is said to have been provoked by an insult offered by Brown to his assailant while in h-s store some time- last week.-News and Courier, 20th. ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH. . MR. Enrror.: The late Foreman, Mr. Cooper, in his notice of reply to my article, published some time ago, in a very insulting manner gave no tice of his reply; insinuating that my delay had for its purpose the .depar ture of the solicitor-. He appears to know how any one feels, situated thus. The truth of the matter is simply this, I reside in call of the Court House and promptly responded to every law ful demand made upon me; and de --ferred any action, until the Foreman - could be met as an individual-not as an officer of the law. The threatened annihilation official ly and personally, came in the shape of Podpowneet fior a season. I would pause here, long enough to parentha size Personalities, as a dangerous plaything. Like the Boomerarng 0f the Australian Bus.-hmen, it comnes back sometimes upon the oue sendiing it, with deadly violence. I must confess, however, to some curiosity to know, what startling dis closures he could rake un from tlhe life of one so prosaic as mnine. 'Tis true I am not handsome like the Fore man; nor possessed of his snac-i/er in say that I am a poor, and very corn monplace man would be news to no one in this country. Officially he has under oath paid his respects to me in no uncertain way. Whence then the show up? I determined to bide the time,, when the consummation promised should come, but he has transferred it to the Future. We shall meet then at Pitillipi. I have proper regard for the opin ions of my fellow-citizens and would say, that my arraignment of the Fore man has been based upon no captious objection, but upon what I conceive to be a grievious wrong, in present ing the case in such a way as to admit, yea, scarcely to avoid, misconstruction. The bitterness of the rejoinder con firmed, what had been privately enter tained, that he was my enemy and as such, would be a remarkable person age, could he as a commissioner, lay aside his feelings and dispassionately pass judgment upon my actions. All I ask is a fair and impartial iu vestigation by those who have no per sonal interest in the result; and with a conscious innocense that fears no consequences I await the issue. J. E. Scon. Erion M.3tAmso Tnt's : We ask your in duhg.uce for the privilegc of replying to the article that appared over the signature of T. '. Hi:ton :n your issue of the 7th irs :tnt From t.eginirg to end it is a clear i :os tion of the author's inability to comprehenu his own vernacular. He makes a feeble ef fort, indicative of himself, at ridicule, by having us appear as having sal d that because the trustees were farmers they were unable to discharge the functions of their office. We stated that two of them were noted for their ability [see Webster on ability). Then his (?) construction put upon our motive for attempting to defend the patrons of the Tar Kiln school, is another clear evidence of his intellectual weakness. We know of no law, for we have no particular friend belonging to the legal fraternity from whom we might receive information, that gives to tie man withno Property a greater claim upon the proceeds of the poll and two mill tax than tl.e one who has accumulated a homestead. and thus made himaself a factor of the great body politic of which he is a part and par cel. As concerning what the writer so deli cately styles "another L " ' have this to say: True "we can ou?v i.ghtly claim "that to which he is entitled" but we know of an instance where one has publicly claim ed more than'hc was entitled to. Methinks we hear yc i ask, Who was it? Echo an. swer in a h. a ed and suppressed whisper -"the creature of the reformation" in Dis. trictNo. 3. As a parting admonition to our young friend, we would remind him of the cat in the fable, that suffered the nionkey to use its paw to remove the nuts from the fire. Then to that friend who has so con siderately advised us to 'take a drink" by way of arb:tration, we would say that we ap preciate his unsolicited manifestation of kindness, but, nevertheless. beg leave to cordially decline acting on his suggestion. 1tespectfuily yours, W. D. T umr, Jr. Foreston, S. C., Dec. 19. 1887. A Swamp Pirate of Fifty Years Ago. [From the Sumter Advance.] If many of the traditions in South Carolina were "written up" for the pa pers, how interesting they would be. lhe other day I listened with much interest to the account of a negro out law, who, about fifty years ago, made his home, for a while in the thick swamps of the Wateree. The gentle man who told me about him, was a child at that time and lived not far from the river swamp. The'outlaw was a full-blooded ne gro and his camp was on an island opposite Bloom Hill; this island is now known by the name 0f Jack Moore's island. He would sormetimes have runaway slaves under him and he lived altogether by robbery; his habit was to attack poll boats and take anything from them he desired. He was an object of terror to the ne roes of that time and was a man of such boldness that on one occasion he went into a field at Bloom Hill and killed a negro who had informed on him. For at least two years he lived in the swamp. His death occurred in this way. He attacked a poll boat, in which some white men were secreted; he was shot at and wounded; when he became wounded to such an ex tent that he could no longer stand up and shoot he laid down on his bac~k and in this position tried to shoot at the white men.
