The Clarendon Agricultural Society will meet on the first Monday in March. The Quarterly Conference of the Claren don circuit ill be held at New Zion church, March 3rd and 4th. Mr. Arthur M. Skipper, of McClellans vile, Berkeley county, matriculated at the Manning Academy last week. A circular has just been issued and sent to ever] colored ministerin South Carolina, asking for contributions for the defense of the colored lynchers in Pickens. In Anderson county some days ago, a ne gro while cutting down a large pine discov ered in the centre a live bat, which, judging from the rings around the cavity in which it was found, is supposed to ha' been en toombed there about seventy years. Mrs. Mary M. Jayroe, wife of Mr. Peter W. Jayroe, died at her home near Manning, last Saturday, aged thirty-seven years. Mrs. Jayroe was an estimable lady, a member of the Baptist church of this place. She leaves a husband and six children, the youngest being but two years old. William B. Carpenter, Sr., one of the oldest citizens of this county, died at his borne near Manning, last Mednesday, in the seventy-eighth year of his age. He had been in feeble health for a long time. and a recent attack of dysentery so weakened him that he never rallied. Mr. Carpenter leaves a rife, and several children, all of whom are grown, to mourn his death. Mr. James B. Davis, Clerk of Court, re quests usto state he has received blank ap plications for widow's pensions. Also, that those parties who have already sent pension applications forward, will have to fix up a schedule of their property before the ap plications will be acted on. All persons in terested in pensions should call and see Mr. Davis. , Mr. H. B. Lee informs us that the house of Lester Singletary, which was burned a month together with his six children, was not ocked at the time. He says that Singletary had just bought alotof groceries, and thinks they were stolen, the children killed, and the house then set on fire. Sin gletary and his wife were at church, about a quarterof a mile of at the time. Mrs. Bosina Mackey has entered two suits iffWashingo against Ex-Judge Thomas Jefeson ' e, her gay, dehinquent hus band. In the first she asks for a divorce on the ground of his desertion of her, and in the other she seeks to have certain Wash ingtoa property, .held in her husband's name, but which was bought with the pro eseds of her South Carolina property, trans ferred to her. We call the attention of those having cap ital for investment, to the advertisement of Joseph F. Rhame, Eq., in this issue of the Tixus. Mr. Rhame informs us that ao company which he represents owns lands in, and in the vicinity of, some sixty towns in the State of Florida, among which is the city of Palatka, the lre towns of Guinsville and Ocala, and te town of Brooksvinle. The lands offered for sale comn pris-somfe of the finest .orange, cotton, earn, and sugar..cane lands in the State. Some persons have reflected on us be eanse we failed to publish notices of deaths and marriages in their families. This is unjust. We always make such notices when we can get the facts, but when we fail to hear of a death or marriage, or if we hear of either and cannot learn names, dates, &c., we are not censurable if no no tics be made. It would trouble parties but little to send such information to this office, and proper notices would always be made. Governor Richardson is .preparing to transform the heretofore unsightly grounds in front of the Governor's Mansion into a .retty lawn. Yesterday a mule, plow, and arey, engaged in reducing this land to a mellow state, nearly came to grief. In the day when the mansion was an arsenal a wel in the yard had been ecvered with thin boards, which were'in turn covered with earth, and the location of the well obliterat ed. The boards had become -decayed, and yesterday the 200 dollar mule went through, but fortunately kept himself from going to the botom. The dangeru pit-fall has been filled up.--Newes and '~rir ~We do not propose using the columns of the Tnczs as a medium to dun subscribers. Instead of this, we send a separate account to each subscriber, politely requesting a settlment. If this is not done, either by sending us the cash or by making other stisfactory arrangement, then we will, how ever much we may regret it, stop the paper. notify the subscriber of this action, and lace his name together with the amount e is due in our Black List of Dead Beat subcribers. Our terms are cash mn ad vance, but when the party has been prompt in pying up the preceeding year, and we fei satisfied that he will pay what he prom ises, we are wailling to wait a few months on him. But in no ease can we continue send ing the paper to subscribers who are already owing us for a year past. This is business. Entertainment at Panola. A correspondent at Panola writes us: The citizens of this county will be offered a rare literary treat at the Panola Academy on Friday evening March 2nd, by that dis tiguished lecturer, the Rev. John Ker shaw, who on that occasion will deliver his great lecture on "Character and Character Building." The lecture is delivered to assist in the repairing of the Episcopal church at Dar lington, and to procure a clock, a teacher s chair, etc., for the academy. A small ad. mission fee will therefore be charged, and the ladies, with their characteristic kind ness, will furnish oysters, fruit, lemonade, and cake. Bucklen's Arnica Salve. The best salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, U~lcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns,. and all Skin Eruptions, and positive ly cures Piles, or no pay requiredi. It is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction, or money refunded. Price 25 cents per box o sme by Einkins & Co.. COURT. We gave the proceedings of Court last week up to Tuesday night, the time we go to press. Wednesday afternoon the prisoners who had been convicted were brought in and the judge sentenced them as follows : F. P. Herrington, white, aggravated as sault and battery, $100 fine, or three months in the county jail. Monroe Peters, stealing a hog, one year in the penitentiary, and $1 fine. Frank Ridgill alias Frank Benbow and Sue McLeod, adultery, Frank, one year in the penitentiary, or $100 fine; Sue, three months in the county jail, or $100 fine. Joe Lewis, burglary and larceny, three years in the penitentiary. After the prisoners were sentenced, the Grand Jury made their presentment, and the criminal court was then adjourned. GRAND JURYB PEESENTMENT. The Grand Jury beg to present that we have acted on all the bills presented by the Solicitor at this term of the Court. Two of the Trial Justices presented their books for examination, viz : John S. Wilson and J. W. Fleming. These we found cor rect and neatly kept. A committee of the grand jury visited and examined the jail, and find it properly kept; but would recommend the placing of a sub stantial door at the head of the staircase. We would further recommend that a new cook ing stove be furnished. A committee also visited the poor farm, and find thirteen inmates, all white, and we think deserve the aid of the county, and they make no complaint against Superin tendent or Physician in charge. We would recommend that some clothing be furnished a few who seemed to be qnite destitute. We be leave to present the roads in bad condition, and recommend that the County Commissioners give the same immediate at tention, and have them staked off the prop er width, as complaint has been made to us that parties in different parts of the county are planting so much of the public road that two vehicles meeting cannot pass each oth er. We recommend that your honor appoint H. C. Carrigan, N. B. Barrow, and D. R. Chewning to take into consideration the presentment of the last grand jury, and also examine the books and accounts of the coun ty offices the present year. All of which is respectfully submitted. H. C. CARRIGAN, Foreman. The civil side of the Court was reached Thursday, and the following cases were disposed of. Sharper Benjamin and others against ames Canady and others ; Plaintiffs non suited. James E. Morris against.Thomas Wilson; Verdict for Defendant. Henry Delaine against David Alderman ; Plaintiff nonsuited. Mrs. Annie D. Ingram against Lukens and Reefsnyder. This case excited consider able interest and its trial occupied two days. The Plaintiff claimed $1.433, the jury formed a verdict of $1000 in her favor. It is probable that this case will go up to the Supreme Court. The suit for malicious prosecution of W. E. Morris against Robert Conyers was vol. 1 untarily withdrawn by Plaintiff. The suit of DuBose against McFaddin was also dis ontinued. F. P. Hemington paid his fine of $100 before he left the court house, and in con sequenee did not go to jail. Frank Benbow paid his fine of $10, and is at liberty again. Mr. Joel Benbow, one of the penitentiary guards, carried Joe Lewis and Monroe Peters to the penitentiary last Saturday.

The platform of the Democratic party in 1884, adopted in Chicago, and upon which Mr. Cleveland was elected, declared that "the system of direct taxation known as the 'intern al revenue' is a war tax, and so long as the tax continues, the money de rived therefrom should be sacredly devoted to the relief of the people from the remaining burdens of the war." Those who know have no doubt that the meaning was to retain the tax as long as the war debts and pensions remainsd. There were lynched during the year 1887 in the United States no few er than 123 persons. Of the various States and Territories, Texas leads the list with fifteen lynchings, and Mississippi is entitled to second place, with fourteen to her credit. All the victims were males,eighty of them be ing negroes. Last Sunday a week ago, consider able hail fell in several parts of the :ounty. At Mr. James E.
