THEMANNNG TIMES. Mranin g, S. C7 S. A. NETTLES, Editor. N C WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 1888. N f The South Carolina Chautauquan for April will contain a cabinet size por trait of Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, the champion temperance worker of the United States and a sketch of her life < by Charles D. Fedder, D. D., of Char-1 leston,.S. C.; a thrilling chapter de scribing the burning by Sherman's < army of the city of Columbia; hints a to teachers, and other interesting mat ter. If you wish to read a spicy home i magazine, send $1 for a year's sub-~ scription to the CHatTuQaS, Ben nettsville, S. C. r The Tnes has had nothing to say relative to the Democratic State Con- t 'vention meeting elsewhere than in Columbia, simply because we did not think there was any probability of a change. Columbia is the most acces sible and suitable place in the State, and can be reached by the delegates at least expense. The Tuns favors elections every four years, and as the e present State officers were nominated only two years ago, favors but one a convention, at which all business may be done, including a renomination of the entire State ticket. It will be a useless waste of time and money to -have more than one convention. Playing cards is a nuisance in this place. It is a practice among rich s and poor, white and black, week days P and Sundays. We can not lay our t bands on an; man, and of our own knowledge say, "Thou art a gambler," 9 but there are those in authority who g could easily make a raid on these C dens, and catch them in the act. The n poor ignorant negroes may be seen by the dozen playing cards, and we c would naturally infer gambling. n White men, too, we are told are at it. f Gambling is gambling whether a cigar or a ten thousand dollar check is the stake. A lively lawsuit is albout to be in- h stituted by a young Georgia editor c bor the recovery of the town of Aiken, ai the famous summer resort in this b State. About seven hundred acres of e< land in and around Aiken were bought b .by the young man's grand father, Mr. st .Beverly M. Rodgers,nmore to specu- p late on than any thing else, years ago. a1 ~When the old gentleman died his cl business was very unsettled, and his ti .children being small the matter was n; iforgotten. However, an aunt ~of t< :young Rodgers reminds him of the di purchase, and he forthwith goes to fc Aiken, employs Messrs. Hammond & T Evan~s as-attorneys, and enters suit. ir 'There are four heirs to the esiate and they will push the suit. The police in Charleston recently oi thought they had unearthed a big aj thing, but the correspondent of the c< Columbia Re'gister gives it another pl coloring: -Si "The readers of the Register will p: recall the arrest of two colored women je and the fmding of a large quantity of silks and other dress goods in their dwellings. It turns out that both the s women are fashionable dressmakers, L which will account for the miscellane- 3E ons assortment of dress goods, jewel ry, etc., found in the houses. The dress goods were given to them by their customers to make up into Eas- la ter dresses, and the jewelry-well, it tc is said that fashionable women will N -'occsionally pawn a watch or a trinket T to their dressmaker. ~At any rate, the arrest-of the two dressmakers and the seizure of their tc goods has caused a considerable stir. C Many of their patrons and several y domen ladies will be kept at home to- A morrow because their intended Easter dresses are locked up at police head quarters.". Here are some of the names of per- (G -sons suggested for the Chief Justice- A ship of the United States: Solicitor & General Jenks, of Pennsylvania; Judge Jackson, of Tennessee; Judge Simms, F Alabama; Attorney Genieral Garland; h the .Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, of Vir- N ginia; the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, J of Indiana; Judge Cooley, of Michi gan; the Hon. W. R. Morrison, of fl linois; Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson; Judge Thurman, of Ohio; TI Secretary'Endicott; Judge MeCue, of New York; the Hon. W. C. Goudy, of Chicago; United States District Judge 3 Seversens, of Michigan; Chief Justice Bingham, of Ohio; Senator Turpie, of Not the Right Way. FrLToX, S. C., March 30, 1888. r Mn. EIrroR-Dear Sir: I am re ei'ing duns from you almost every reek for some four years' subscription, rhich I wish to inform you is not orrect. I paid for one year in ad ance. I also paid to Mr. rhen collecting for the paper, $2.00, or which I have a receipt, which of ourse would leave a balance due you f $1.00 up to the 29th March, '88. she first time I go to your town I will settle with you to date. But I lislike to be dunned for something I lo not owe. Yours, &c., We know it is not pleasant to be uuned, but sometimes it is unavoid ble. Soon after buying the Tims ye sent to every subscriber who was n arears a polite circular-letter stating hen their subscription began, how nuch money had been paid.. and how auch was sill due. We asked that is letter be given attention, and yen if the party was unable to pay he amount due, that he at least write is stating whether the account was orrect. We thought this a polite equest and deserving an answer. Che gentleman above however seems o think differently. We do not of ourse desire to lose a single subscrib r, nor on the other hand, do we de ire to send the Tnnms to any man rho doesn't want it. Had the bove letter been written us when we ant out the first statement, it would ave been more satisfactory to all arties concerned. Raleigh's Bank Defalcators. Raleigh, N. C., has had a great sen ition and big steal by C. E. Cross, resident, and S. L. White, cashier, of ie State National Bank, who, after usiness hours, Saturday, March 24, ietly took all the cash they could et together, and left for Canada. Toss and White are each highly con ected in church and society, and ,hen on Monday the news was pro [aimed that they had absconded with lore than $250,000 of the bank's nds, the excitement was very great. he parties reached Canada before ie news became public, and it was ared that Nothing could be done ith them; but it was, a day or two ter, discovered that both parties had mmitteed forgery before leaving, 2d that for this offence they could a arrested and returned to the Unit I States. When White and Cross acame aware of this feature of the eal, they telegraphed to the chief of >lice of Raleigh to come for them id they would return with him. The ief of police has gone for the par es, and very probable North Caroli justice for stealing will be equal putting both of these high toned ~falators in the State Penitentiary r a reasonably short space of time. be bank's loss will probably be not ore than $60,000 or $75,000.

Rhame died near At lanta, March 31, of acute pleuro pneu monia. Mr. Rhame was feeling slightly un well on the night of Sunday, the 25th March, keeping in doors and in bed most of the time on Monday follow ing; on Tuesday he did not feel any better, something worse, having a very severe cough, yet having no ap prehension that his attack was of a serious nature; but on Wednesday having grown worse, a physician was called in who told him that he had pneumonia. !r. R~lane did not then seem to apprehend danger, but on Thursday the 29th. wrote his brother, Senator J. F. Rhaue. a letter, written in pencil, in which he stated that his attack was of a serious nature; this letter reached Senator Rhame the night of Friday, the 30th, also on the same night he received a telegram in forming him that his brother was very ill. Senator Rhame made hurried preparations to leave for Atlanta, and through the courtesy of the railroad authorities the conductor of the through night freight was instructed to stop for him. Reaching Snmter in time for the fast mail train going to Columbia, he hastened to Atlanta, which place he reached on the after noon of the 31st, a little after sunset. On stepping from the train he was told the sad news that his brother had died about 7 o'clock that morning. Imme diate arrangements for the embalming of his body and transportation of it to South Carolina were made. As soon as Senator Rhame got the tele gram announcing his brother's illness, he at once sent one in reply stating that he would leave for Atlanta on the first train, but from some inexcu sable negligence somewhere, this tele gram was never delivered. Mr. Rhame was at times delirious, but most of the time was conscious. About fifteen or twenty minutes be fore death he called for paper and pencil, and making the attendants hold him up, wrote with his trembling hands these pathetic words as a dy ing message to the loved ones at home: "I remain the same, God bless-" The almost pulseless hand refused to do more, and the message, together with some short messages previously written, were by his direction enclos ed n an envelope, by a frieLd at his bed-side,addressed to Senator Rhame, and immediately mailed. These en closures reached here Sunday night. Mr. Rhame told the attendants at his bed-aide that he knew his brother would come, and to tell him that he did not wish to be buried among strangers, but desired his body to be laid near the grave of his father. This wish was carried out to the letter. His body arrived at Lynch burg Sunday night; a number of friends were in waiting at the depot to receive it. On Monday at 11 o'clock after the performance by Rev. Mr. Mattison of the beautiful burial service of the Methodist church, in the Presbyterian church at Lynchburg, his body was nterred in the cemetery of the l.st amed church, close to the grave of is father, whom he loved so well. A large number of friends, and all f his near r'elatives who could get here, attended the burial. It was a great satisfaction to his relatives to ind that his featurc s were undisturbed y the agonies of death; so serenet ndeed were they, that one could scarcely realize but that he was leeping. Mr Rhame was a son of the late Co1. John C. Rhame and of Mrs. Mar ha Rhame, of Sumter. His mother, five brothers, and a sister survive him. r. Rhame had spent the greater art of his life with his brother, Sena or-lhame, and a close and loving in imacy existed between them~. Ned Rhame was a whole souled, genial, ompanionable, young man, with a billiant intellect arnd a bright future. e made hosts of friends wherever he ent.
