THE MANNING TIMES. Published Every Wednesday. S. A. NETTLES, EDrroR AD PRoPRIErR. WEDNESDA), FEBRUARI 29, 1888. HERE ANiD THtERE. Mr. Dargan has presented a peti tion of citizens of Florence - to Con gress asking for an appropriation of $10,000 to build a road to the nation al cemetery at that place. Rev. Charles Spurgeon, the great London preacher, having been re ferred to by :Miss Abbott as favoring theatres, vwrites that he never heard of her. He. says: "I am decidedly of the opinion that the stage is the enemy both of good morals and religion." Tie Panama Canal, if it ever reach es completion, will save 10,000 miles in distance between Europe and the Pacific ports. Its length is to be for ty-six miles. The original estimated cost is over $132,000;000, but enough has been done to show that the esti mate is too low. A terrible accident recently occur red in Broadlawn, El. John C. Hayes, a well-known farmer, had just built a corn mill and was making a test of the machinery. The stones were run at a high rate of speed, and becoming heated, burst, fragments flying in all directions. John S. Hayes and his son Andrew were instantly killed, Henry Butler, engineer, and W. 0. Bertner, a carpenter, were seriously injured. -The men all have families. The mill was badly damaged. A young woman in New York has gone into court and sworn that she married for money. A rich old man offered her $100 a month, two valua ble lots -and $15,000 to marry his drunken son. The object of the fath er was to redeem the son from his worthless life and make a man of him. When the old man died his executor ref sed to pay the $15,000, and the daughter-in-law sued for it and got it. Here is one woman who acknowledges she sold herself. She got a good price. Perhaps others have sold themselves for less. There is a strong probability that four newStates will be admitted dur ing the present session of Congress, as the Democratic members of the House and Senate Committees on Ter ritories have agreed to favorably re port a bill for the admission of New Mexico,- Montana, Washington, and the whole of Dakata. It is thought that the Republicans cannot consist ently oppose the scheme for political reasons, for though New Mexico is Democratic, Dakota is largely Repuib lican, while in the other two neither party has a pronounced advantage. The Greenville Caroli'niarn says: Louis R. Redmond, the well-known mountaineer and moonshiner, was in Greenville this iv'eek. He is suffering a good deal from the effects of the wound he received when he was shot several years ago by the deputy mar shals, and also from the effects of the cold climate of Albany,5 where, it will be remembered, he spent three years in the government penitentiary and was finally pardoned by the President. Redmiond is now hiving at Walhalla, rning a licensed distillery. -General Bradley T. Johnson has been studying the last report of the commissioner of pensions, and finds that the aggregate sum paid out for pensions since 1865 is $870,000,000, the annual aggregate having now rns en, in 1887, to $74,815,486. Assum ing that the population of the South is about one-third that of the Uniion, he reaches the conclusion that the South is paying an annual subsidy of about $25,000,000 a year for pensions to Union soldiers. Capitalized at 3 per cent. this represents, he says, a fund of $833,000,000, which is the in demnity for the civil war actually lev ied on the Southern States.* J. P. Smith, a farmer living a few miles from Conway, went to work a fw mornings ago. The air was chil v and he wore his coat, but after plowing awhile he became too warm and pulled off his coat and laid it on a stump. When called to dinner he picked up his coat and threw it on his 'houlder and was walking leisurely along. He noticed, however, that his coat was heavier than when he pulled it off and instituted a search for the cause. The investigation revealed thc fact that a snake had coiled itself ir his coat pocket and was slowly crawl ing out. Mr. Smith remained quiei and allowed his snakeship to complett his exit and then despatched him. It does a Democrat's heart good tt read one of Sunset Cox's speeches. I ought to be "Sunrise" Cox and no the other. When he gets up to speal to a Democratic Convention there i light in his face, light in the faces o all. He is as the sun as it elimrbs tiu( Orient to gild the horizon and fill thi world with its light, Hie literall: shines for all Democrats and his ligh is not uncertain and does not com: reflected through clouds of doubt o opaque fears. 'His is not that kind c a sun. His light is clear and ure fracted Democratic light. May thi Good Lord prosper and bless Saiut S. C2ox, of New York ! He is a Deir orat all over. He is no follower c Repulia jacko-lterns. He has n faith in humbug Civil Service Refoni b; British methods to Republican ai ..ataw.- _wiminnton Star. W LI3SB URG KEWS. (County Recurd.] Mr. Joseph Hemingway, a promis ing young man, in the neighborhood of Black Mingo, died on the16th inst., of consumption. The building of a new Presbyterian church, to be called Corinth, in the neighborhood of Greeleyville, is now in progress. From all parts of the county we learn that preparations for another crop are progressing finely, notwith standing much unfavorable weather for farm work. Mr. John T. Bryan, whose saw mill was recently destroyed by fire, is put ting up a new and more complete one, to which will be attached a plan ing machine. Colored Officers for the Army. WAsm.Toro, Feb. 12.-There is something of a commotion in military circles over the announcement that two nominations for second licuten antships in the army recently sent to the Senate by the President, are col ored men. The nominees are Ser geant Taywaan, of the 24th Infantry, and Sergeant McGuire, of the 25th, who are nominated to be Lieutenants. The 24th and 25th are coloied regi ments, but have white commissioned officers. These are said to be the only colored men ever nominated for army officers. A FRIEND TO THE FRIENDLESS. THE DEATH or w. w. CORCORAN OF wASH INGTON, THE CHRISTIAN MILLONAIR . WASHIXGTON, Feb. 24.- Mr. W. W. Corcoran died at 6.30 this morn ing. He passed away quietly and in unconsciousness. He lapsed into in sensibility yesterday afternoon, from which he did not again awake. The forces of life faded gradually but steadily until breathing was no long er noticeable. A TRIBUTE FROM RIcHMOiD, VA. RicHMo\Df'eb. 24.-At a joint meet ing of the two branches of city coun cil this evening a preamble and reso lutiors were adopted in relation to the death of that noble philanthropist and true friend of Virginia, W. W. Cor coran, and saying that in his death the Southern States, and especially Virginia, have sustained the loss of a devoted friend, whose memory will ever be cherished by the people, and that as a tribute to his memory the president and one member of the board of aldermen, and the president and two members of the common council, be appointed to attend the funeral as representatives of the city of Richmond. Only Twelve but Twice Married. ST. JosErP, Mo., Feb. 6.-The police to-day arrested Annie Stevenson, aged 12 years, on the charge of vagrancy. She was given a light fine by the Re corder, and this evening was put aboard a train for Hickory station, Grundy County, Mo., where her fath er lives. The girl has been twice married and had two children by her first husband, Robert Patterson, whose wife she be came when see was ten years old. Ptesnwas 17. Her husband and two babies died and she went again to her father, who lived then near Mound City, Mo. Blere she married John Stevenson, aged 23 years. Ste venson left her a couple of weeks ago and she camne to St. Joseph to look for him. Her destitute condition -induc Ied the police to take charge of her. She as rather small for her age and looks younger than twvelve years. She is pretty, intelligent, and says she still loves her husband. He left her, she thinks, because he was poor and want ed to get a start in the world. He Shammed sick. EDwanBsynnL, Iii.., Feb 9.-An ex traordinary bit of deception has been practiced upon the jail authorities and physicians here. A stylish chap named L. M. Logan was locked up here in December, charged with sidigAlton people out of capital for establishing a bogus perfumery compounding establishment. The confinement in the jail among the common burglars and horse thieves did not suit Mr. Logan, and he grad ually wasted away until, on December 27, he was attacked with neuralgia. By noon on December 28 he was com pletely deaf. On the same day the pupils of his eyes became very great ly dilated, and by night he was blind. On January 2 he lost his voice. Dr. Wiliam Olive was called in December 31, and after examination reported total permanent loss of hearing in his let ear, and only a slight possibility of restoring the hearing of his right ear. About this time he became affliet ed with palpitation of the heart, epi leptic fits, and dispepsia, sometimes spting blood and being unable to re an any food on his stomach. On IJuary 16 he had convulsions, and the Shiriff called in Dr. Feigenbaumi, who, after a thorough examination, sa d tha t he had a tumor or abscess in his brain about three inches back o the frontal bone and that he was bonad to die. On January 3rd he had ben removed from the jail to an up. prroom in the jail building, and his wife was allowed to nurse him, a man -beng employed to nurse him at night Heremained in bed seemingly un conscous from that time until last Monday ait 10 A. M. Three phaysicians ronunced the case one of abscess or e braitn, and two noted surgeonv rom~ St. Louis were called in to per - form the operation. When the sur f geons, who believed they had a re o marabe case, gathered around th< abed, Logan lost his nerve, and, jump .ing up, said he had been shammnng )The surgeons could hardly believ< thi snsscm but the prisoner saidi was the truth, and he did it to keep out of the penitentiary. He said that he caused the dilation of his eyes by the use of belladonna, which he had kept concealed between his toes. The fits were feigned and he was only act ing. The vomiting was produced by swallowing tobacco juice; the palpita tion of the heart and rushes of blood to the head by filling his lungs with air and contracting his chest, mean while holding his breath; the rapid pulsation by striking his elbow against the wall. ... The Texas Pony. The fact that last week McCafferty Bros. sold such a large drove of these animals at such fair prices, and in such a short time, sufficiently demon. strates the present popularity of these angular steeds; but just why our farm ers happen to consider that it is quite the thing to own one, or more, horses of this light weight and Swiss cottage style of architecture, it is somewhat puzzling to divine. Men frequently invest in very meagre and shabby looking stock in consideration of "the blood," and with lofty pity smile down the ignorance of adverse criti cism by showing how much they (the blooded stock) made up in pedigree for what they lacked in appearance. But in the case of the Texas pony blood is not the consideration. He has no blood whatever, and is utterly without pedigree, further, than he is popularly supposed to have originat ed by crossing a clothes-line on a night-mare, and his architectural con struction as well as his eccentricity of temper seems to warrant the supposi tion. In qualities, he has not the rep utation of being exactly the animal that a conscientious man would re commend for a family horse unless be had a very deep and bitter grudge against the man who sought his ad vice on the subject. This opinion of him is gathered from the doleful ac counts of some who invested rather extensively in him last year, who de scribe him as being composed chiefly of teeth, heels, and devilment-about two-thirds of the composition being the latter-and say, that even during the work season, unless ridden all day Sunday. he has to be broken over fresh every Monday morning. He is even too lively to be pictur esque. There is a story of a widower who, a few weeks after he had buried a rather high strung wife, applied to the owner of a menagerie and offered to purchase the tiger, explaining that he had recently lost his wife, and wanted to get something to keep him from being so lonesome. Now last year was a very successful crop year, and, no doubt, enabled many of our farmers to discharge obli gations that they have been wrestling with for many years of torture and harrowing uneasiness-so long that the present state of calm feels unnat ural-they have not recovered from the reaction from so much anxiety, and while looking around for some thing to keep their blood stirring, Providence sends the Texas pony. Truly, if that be the need to be sup plied, he fills the bill to a T . -Marion Star. The President in Florida. hecrsosTraE, FL.a., Feb. 23.-Yes terday's lowering clouds vanished dur ing the night, and to-day furnishes a typical example of Florida winter sunshine. The President's party rose early andl after breakfasting were es corted in carriages' to the Sub-Tropi cal Exposition, which they inspected thoroughly before the general public was admitted. Great surprise was expressed by all at the opulence and variety of flowers and fruit displayed, and especially at the oranges and characteristic sub-tropical plants. In the rustic building containing the ex hibits of Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus counties, a full sized orange tree, cov ered with blooms and containing about one hundred oranges, had been placed near the platform which Mrs. Cleveland ascended, and she enjoyed for the first time the experience of plucking orange blossoms and oranges from the tree. She tossed to the President the first orange she picked, but his hands were not quick enough, and he caught it on his nose. She of ferred him another, but he declined, saying that man got into trouble a long time ago by accepting fruit plucked and offered by a woman. Here Mrs. Cleveland enjoyed an op portunity of cutting pineapples from the stem, and she did whatever was proposed with a sort of girlish glee. A tame fawn was presented to her and will be forwarded to the White HousE by express. Gifts in endless variet) consisting chiefly of flowers and fruits were made to the Presidential party by the officers of the Exposition; conm missioners, and individual contribu. tors, and much space in the car wvas filled by these when the start war made for St. Augustine. 'Disregard of Public Trusts. Congressman Cothran came dowi from Washington last week to repre sent a client in a trivial case in th< Court of Sessions at Abbeyille. W presume he has this right, but it seem: to us that when the people elect man to represent them in public office his time ~belongs to them, especialla when the body of which he is a mem her is in session. Important measure: ae before Congress nearly every day and it is a Congressman's duty to b< at his post every day of the session Tne people pay him for bis services anud his time belongs to them durin; the session of Congress. There is toi much of this done by public offieial o this day and time. '-A public oflic is a. public trust," and an ofiicial shouf discharg" his duty as faithfully as if b were a day laborer working for a pr vate individual.-Andersonl Intell g encer. What is this Disease that is Coming Upon Us ? Tike a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy lo:ad on the stomach; sometimn es a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammv. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex eeoration. 'ihe patient feels : d all the while, and sleep s not seem to afford any . fter a time hlt becomes irritable and gioemy, a.:s evil forebodings. T here mdiess, a sort of whirl ion in the head when - u su' ddeny. The bow Oco'me costive; the skin is ud Lot at tims ; the blood nls thick and stagn:nt; hiXte of the eyes become d with vilow; the urine aty and high colored, de ng a sediment after stand nS. There is frequently a sp tting up of the food, some times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision beco nes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the c:use of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complai:nt, others for kidney disease. etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constinxation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sci gel's Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTroN. Mr. John C. Hlemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "Mly wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or1 Sel'geps Syrup4 that sheC saysI she would rather be without yart of her food tient without the medilcine.
