TIE. WHISKEY DEtIL.
Of all the.avils in this world, and
of the great curses inflieted upon
man, whiskey-drinking is probably
the greatest. It respects no, age or
condition ; and when the terrible
fend has twined herself around the
victim, and be has come to love
the fiery stuff whether for its taste
or its.efreets, that one is generally be
yond redemption. Every one in
Manning knows we speak the truth.
There are two many sad, sad cases
on record. "Speak naught of the
dead but good, and yet we cannot
-pointing as.a warning, to our
eemetemi.. "Wei: felk, whiskey
UIgedhi,.has been spoken of more
than one person who died in this
posy of a score or more.
p lo , its pitiful, but whis
key wil be his death yet," has not
improbably been spoken of a number
whom the public suppose to have
reached that stage where reform is
sipessile. It is hard, very hard,
fora confirmed toper to reform, and
or warning is to try to save these
who hie not yet come under its se
-doeive inuence. We do not mean
to be perqonal ; we feel confident that
*ere i no more whiskey sold and
gambling done in Manning than in
any other town of equal size that sells
iiquor ; add yet when we see our
young men, so-many of them, goming
to ruin and destruction, we feel that
we would be recreant to duty not to
utter a word of wawning. Whisk
and -gahblig have already in th
place ruined many a bright future,
andthere are others to-day who are
on the verge of destruction. Gam
is done in this place largely, by
whites and negroes, and some
times a white man and a negro can
be seen a ying cards together. And
the ahellish accompaniment to
the barroom is here,too, even on the
suare, the bawdy house of
orest order. Tell us that whis
key lcense, with these usual accom
pamniments of-te nporal ruin and spir
. at amaton of our young men is
banaanin1 to the town, and necesry;
to its 'business prosperity. We do
not believe a word of it ; nor do
tho e hearteore. wives and mothers
and fathers whose loved ones are
being ruined believe it either. We
y hae rdainea silent on this subject
as long sa we can, and we must give
tteranse to our t up thoughts.
We knw we =he have thesient
thanks of many for our. words, but
bo athere with manhood enough
to^ ige tis afrt to save our
imug young men? We have some
abyougmen and older ones, too,
in our community, who never drink
er gamble, andotherseqnally as noble
~who~ only occasionally touch the vile
stuf: ethese we must save from this
malstom of destruction. Fathers,
mothers warn your boys of the evils
around you; younglain, it is large
myiyour power to cheek this evil:
* budo it Ah! but there is the
treuble. Our young ladies, many of

There is in this place a struggling
band of Good Templars, two small
samnetmes even to get a quorum to
b okdia Deeting, and yet this society
<has, we believe, done some good.
-But we need more ; we want a senti
mnent in 'this place, that will frown
;down on such evilpracticesas we have
mentioned above, and until such sen
*timent isecreated, the wholesale work
of destruction will go on. The wo

~The Wiuesoo 1Newos and Herald
advocates the formation of Farmers'
"Priza Clnbs." Farmers of a section
or cout will avail themselves re
'petivin aclass of cottomr or oats
or corn or what not, each putting in
-an nadmision fee, At theend of th~e
year this money must be given out as
a prize to those making the largest
yields in these respective classes, wiho

Charleston has three daily papers
that do honor to her. The News and
Corier is known and read by nearly
everybody in the State and has an
excellent corps- of country correspon
dents. It is a very superior paper,
the best paper in the South.. But
the Sun and the World are each as
fresh and spicy and newsy as one
could wish. They are both live, pro
gressive papers, and should receive
the hearty support of Charleston.
The new papers are each establishing
agencies, and obtaining local corres
pondents, in all parts of the State,
and seem determined to win the suc
cess they merit. One thing we espe
cially admire about the two new pa
pers is their fearlessness. They give
the news, regardless of the conse
quences.
A. E. Redstone, of California, and
J. A. Colvin, of Kansas, have been
nominated by the Industrial Reform
,party for-President and Vice Presi
dent of- the United States. Redstone
sayshe will make at least two speech
es in. every State. in the Union,, and'
he hopes to carry some fie. or six
States for his party.
The platform of the party is:
"Whereas, it is possible to secure
many needed reforms under a correct
financial and industrial system: there
fore,
"Resolved, by the industrial party
in National Convention assembled at
the city of Washington, D. C., on the
22nd day of February 1888:
"First. That the Government shall
provide full legal tender money suffi
cient in volume to meet the require
ments of the people.
"Second. That the Secretary of the
Treasury shall immediately redeem all
public interest bearing bonds.
"Third. That all banks of issue
shall be abolished."
The Primary Elections.
The Laurensdi3e Herald is in fa
vor of electing by the primary plan
all officers from Governor to Coroner.
Don't we have elections already ?
We fail to see how a primary for Gov
ernor and State officers would do any
good. The convention plan is the
most expeditious, and we fail to see
how any good could be done to the
business interests of the State. Elec
tions, primary or otherwise, neces
sarily bring with them an undue
amount of interest and excitement,
which well nigh paralyzes business.
Even in the small matter of county
primaries, not only is everything giv
en up to it, but it often creates dis
cord among the people. This discord
will not be lessened by a State pri
mary, but will be more likely increas
ed. Aside from these considerations
is not a convention elected by the
people, and will they not generally
express the wishes of their constitu
ents? This is generally the case.
There is as much opportunity for wire
pulling, log rolling, and trading in a
primary as in a convention. The
chief objection that we have to the
primary system is the number of
elections it brings forth. While as a
matter of county interest we are in
dlined to favor it still; when it comes
to a State affair we are bound.to op
pose it. The plan was tried in Geor
gia in the memorable Gordon-Beacon
contest, and created more ill-feeling
among the Deruooratsa of that State
thifte two~men had been of dif
ferent parties.
Not only is the convention plan
more expeditious, but it has an equal
advantage with the irimnary in ex
pressing the true wilf of the people,
from the fact that only delegates who
will express this will are sent to a con
vention.-Winnsboro News.
Attempt at swiadlng in Charlesten.
Canzaroi, S. C., March 3.-The
famous Dudley insurance case came to
an unexpected end to-day. Two of
the conspirators made a oonfession
before the Coroner's jury, admitting
thath~e whole thing was a job to
swindle the insurance companies of
$O,000 insurance money. The job
was put up by Mary Dudley, a ne
grss, Dr. James P. Bond, and Thom
as Bond, the later being the agent of
the insurance companies. They pro
cured a coruse from the Potter's field,
dressed it ~sd passed it off as the
husband of Mary Dudley, whose life
was insured in the United States Mu
tal and Travelers' insurance com
panies, both accident companies. The
confessions were made by Henry
Matthews and Frank Evans, two ne
groes who "snatched" the body and
assisted in the subsequent burial.
The verdict of tbe Coroner's jury was
as foll - That no such man as
ey ever lived, but that the body
of a colored man unknown to them
had been resurrecled and carried to
a house in A street for the purpose of
carrying out a conspiracy to defraud
an insurance company, concocted and.
entered into by Jas. P. Bond, Thmas
Bond, Mary Dudley, Henry Matthews,
and Frank Evans."
CASH! CASH!*" CASH!!
Idesire to state to the public that
for the CASI, I will sell at such
ggures as to defy all competition,
whether in Charleston, Columbia,
Sumter, or any other market in the
State. When I am to get the mnoney,
and thus to be able immediately to
turn this money again into other
goods, and again to make another
small profit, my austomers may
feel assured that my profit will be
small. Bring me the money, essh
down, and I will surprise you at
py low prices. Where goods are
sba.ed, even though for a shzort
time, 41- merchants have to add a
smalt pe etage to py for booh
geege bqo3~s, possible losses, etc.
