THE MANNiNG TIRES. Man-ing, 8. c. S. A. NE FTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, December 12, 1888. The legislature will elect a U. S. Senator to-day. Col. M. C. Butler will succeed himself. Georgetown and Beaufort Counties, S. C., having returned white Demo crats to the Senate, the present Sen ate is wholly white for the first time since the war. Our first page contains very inter esting matter. One of Talmages best sermons; an interesting letter about the Legislature; and the report of Messers. Norris and Tindal, who were sent to visit the Mississippi college. The Baptist congress, comprising leading ministers and laymen of the United States, began its seventh an nual session in Richmond, Va., Tues day, Dec. 4th. The second vice pres ident, Geo. C. Hoyt, of South Caroli na presided. A prominent gentleman of this county recently stated in our pres ence that the Clemson farm, which has been devised to the State, is irre deemably overrun with nut rass. If this is the fact in the case, the mat ter ought to be looked into. tI is said there is no way of eradicating nut grass. Col R. R. Bridgers, president of the W. C. & A. R. R., died suddenly of cerebral ap-plexy in Columbia, last Monday, while arguing a case before a committee of the Legisla ture. He was seventy-two years old, and was one of the ablest and most conservative railroad men of the time. We think it best that the Legisla ture should leave the salaries of the judges as they are, but in no case should less than $3,000 be paid them. No more important office exists in the State. But the legislators can easily and readily reduce their sala ries to $3 per diem and 5 cents per mile. We favor this, and hope the principles and practices of economy will first be applied here. Some persons claim that the Dem ocratic party is demoralized by its re cent national defeat. It is said there is no organization or unity of action among the members of Congress. That will not do. The Democrats are not so bad of after alL We have 100,000 majority in the popular vote, and four years hence we may gain more than we have lost. This is a Democratic country. The State appropriation for Con federate pensions was exhausted be cause of the enormous number of widowsa of soldiers who had been placedon the rolls. It should be noted, also, that the Governor says plainly in his message that the Pension Board is apprehenzsive' "that gross frauds -have already crept in, and may con tinue to creep in," if the present sys tem be not modified. There are now on the rolls, 1,492 widows of soldiers, and 'only 533 soldiers. The board .disapproved 371 applications by sol diers and 227 for widows. LAW OE MURDER? Last week a man was lodged in :aIl in Birmingham, Ala., charged withian atrocious murder of his wife and young daughter. Lynch law was demanded, and a mob attempted to carry out the program. The Sheriff objected, and had several companies of militia ordered for the protection of the prisoner and the enforcement of law and order. Gatlin guns, win chester rifles, and other deadly weap ons were ready and in place. The soldiers were placed where they could evr the field. At every window and Aoor, and on top of the jail, soldiers were placed with their guns. The mob was warned of all these prepara tions, but they would not desist. They came on Saturday night. They were told to stop, ordered to stop, and told that they would be shot if thiey came njearer the jail. The crowd came on. The Sheriff gave the order to shoot direct into the crowd, hun dreds of winchesters hurled their deadly bullets into the massive crowd below, and ten men were killed and *about forty wounded. Among the killed were some of the most promi nent men in the city, some of whom it is claimed were attempting to keep back the mob and prevent the lynch ing. The Sheriff has been committed to jail on a charge of murder, and the place is demoralized. Such, briefly, is an account of one of the most fearful tragedies ever enacted on American soil. Was the Sheriff right or wrong? There are two sides to the question, but we would say he was wrong, and ought to be punished most severely for his conduct. Law and order should be maintained at any cost. But this Sheriff lacked coolness and and deliberation. The crowd was mad, probably drunk, but milder measures might have accomplished the same result. A few loads of small bird shot would have stopped that crowd. The firing of one or two of those rifles and the killing of one or two of the mob would have stopped it. But to order a regiment of sol diers to shoot into a crowd thus was brutal, fiendish, cowardly. We are no advocate of lynch law, we think it a curse in mest cases, but we favor lighter measures for stop ping it. The world stands aghast at such action It is said the crowd now want to lynch the prisoner and the Sheriff, both of whom are still in jail. Well, it's a hard crowd then, but we doubt if a lynching party' can be organized in that place. This will be a lesson ta thne a terrible lesso.. Wouderful Result. Kroxvzw July 2, 1838. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, "-.: Gentlemen.-I have a daughter now seven years of age, who, when about three years of age, showed a se vere case of scrofula on the side of her neck, the usual swelling and bumps appeared, and with a view to curing her, we began using S.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Gentlemen.-Between five and six years ago boils and carbuncles ap peared on me, to an extremely disa greeable and alarming extent. My general health seemed good, but there was every indication of a riot ous condition of my blood. The boils gave me great trouble and pain. Physician's treatment did not seem to avail, and finally I decided to give your S. S. S. a trial. Before the first bottle gave out I noticed the improve ment. The boils and carbuncles dis appeared, and with the six bottles I quit. I was then perfectly well, and ever since that time my blood has given every evidence of perfect puri ty. I attribute my complete cure to your medicine alone. W. H. DmxtLp, Pass. Con. A. G. S. R. R Treatise on Blood and Skin dis eases mailed free. THE SwF-r SPECIFC Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. The Legislature. We regret much that owing to a misun derstanding a report of the Legislature pro ceedings was necessarily omitted last week. Both Houses organized by re-electing their former officers. Mr. James Simons, of Charleston. is Speaker of t'ie Hoa.e. Senator Rhame is chairman of the com mittee on enrolled bills, and on the com niittees of contingent accounts, engrossed bills, federal relations, and public lands. Representative Plowden is chairman of the committee on engrossed bills, and on the committee of education. Representative Tindal was absent, visit ing the Mississippi Agricultural College, the first few days of the session. He is on tL committees of ways and means, education, and agriculture. The following are some of the bills that have been introduced: To establish and maintain a home for dis abled soldiers and seamen of the Confeder ate army and navy. To repeal the pension law of the last ses sion. Joint resolution providing for an analysis of the acts and joint resolutions of 1885, '86, and '87, so as to show how much of same was public and how much private legis lation-the work to be done by the Solicit ors. To prohibit the imposition by municipal corporations of licences as tax upon busi ness. To abolish free State Scholarships in the Winthrop Training School for girls. A pe tition signed by the young ladies attending this school was, immediately upon the in troduction of this bill, presented to the Leg islature, praying that the free scholarships be not abolished. The usual bill to repeal the agricultural lien laws has been introduced. An act to abolish the office of superinten dent of highways and to devolve the duties on the county commissioners has been passed. Senator Rhame has introduced a bill to charter the Wilson and Summerton railroad. There was a contest for the Senatorship from Beaufort, but by resolution the Sen ate seated the Democratic contestant. This gives a simon pure Democratic Senate. To reduce the requisite size of new coun ties from 625 square miles to 400 square miles area. To hold a constitutional convention. Some lawyer wrote a law book and want ed to get the State to appropriate $700 to publish it. Senator Rhame led a fight against the resolution, and it was killed.

This we all know. But do we all mow that we die by eating? It is .aid we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter rified at the approach of the cholera :md yellow fever, yet there is a dis ease constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug gishness of the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly ; furred and coat ed tongue; a sense of a load on the stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine ; sour taste in the mouth, fre quently attended by palpitation of the heart ; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis ease. But its real nature is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body-including the nervous system-is literally starved, even when there is nc emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shown that thereis put one remedy that can c:rtainly cure this disease in all its stages. namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be lost in trying other so called remedies, for they will do no good. Get this great vegetable preparation. (discovered by a vener able nurse whose name is a house hold word in Germany) and be sure to get the genuine article. GIVEN% UP BY sETEN DocTORs.
