Mrs. Sarah Holladay, widow of the late R. J. HoUaday, of Packsville, died last Sun day night, aged about sixty-?ive years. Sbe survived the death of her husband but a few weeks. Mrs. Holladay had for a large number of years been an invalid. She was -a member of the Baptist church. Mr. W. P. Smith, proprietor of the Samter marble yards, was in town yesterday for the purpose of placing some work in our cemetery. He sells a good deal of work in our county, and it always give3s atisfaction. Philip T. Drayton, lately a resident of this place, received injuries last week while attempting to get off a train at Sumter, that resulted a day or two later in his death. He died at Magnolia. Mr. Drayton was a Cnafederate soldier in the late war, and re cived a pension from the State the past year. The Auditor was very busy last Monday taking returns, and he says he has taken a great many more re turns this year than he did up to the same time'last year. The circular re cently issued by the Comptroller Gen eral requiring returns to be made in person is, he says, doing good.* Count! Pension Board. Senator Rhaine has recommended that Dr. 'W. E. Brown, Maj. H. H. Lesesne, and Capt. A. Levi be appointed the county ex amining Board of Pensions for Clarendon County. An entirely new action will nave to be taken to procure a pension. The pension will be three dollars a month. and as before will be paid toO onfederate veterans or to $51 Burnt Up. Mr. J. Furman Bradham sustained an un usual loss last Frida~y. He was attending to the preparation et some land for plant ing oats, and removed his coat and vest. A spark of fire from a burning log-heap fell on the vest and burnt the back and pockets out. In one of the vest pockets was $51 in greenbacks, which was completely destroy ed. $51 is a heavy loss at this season of the yer.~ Offiers for CLar'anden. The Governor has made the following ap' pointmients for Clarendon county: Auditor, Dan'l J. Bradham, Court House. Treasurer, Jos. Sprott, Jr., Court House. Jury Commisioner, Chas. C. Thames, * acksville. Trial Justices: John H. Mahoney, Packs ville; Joan B. Mellett, Summerton; P. G. Benbow, Manning. Supervisor of Registration. S. P. Holla day. The commissions of Mr. 3. J. Bragdon, of Foreston, and Mr. J. W. Fleming, of Salem, do not expire till next December. A Correction. The following sentence occurs in the Fi nancial Committee's report, published in this paper Jan. 2d: "The Grand Jury of 1887 was mistaken in reference to the A. C. Butler matter." It should have been the Gand Jury of 1888 was mistaken. It wais not the Grand Jury of 1887 that recommended that the books of Auditor Scott be completed. This recommendation eminated from another source. The above correc.tions5 are due to the ~ami .iarf 1887. Pardoned Convicts. Governor Richardson has issued pardons to the following convicts frau Clarendon: Calvin McFadden, convicfed of arson at the May term of court. 1881, for Clarendon county, and sentenced by Judge Wallace to life imprisonment. The pyhsician of the penitentiary regarded McFadden as hope lessly ill. Ben Wesley, convicted of burglary and larceny, at the October term of court, 1884, for Clarendon county and sentenced by Judge Kershaw to five years' imprisonment. Before the pardon papers could be sent to Wesley he died of the disease from which he had been suffering. Disappointed. A large crowd from all parts of the county was in town last Monday, to hear what Mr. Pettigrew wculd have to say for Farmers' Alliances. Great was their disappointment when it was known he would not be present, and that nothing could be done. It was not known why Mr. Pettigrew did not come. We presume another effort will be made at an early date to or ganize a County Alliance. Our people want to try it and see if it will do them any good. Superintendent of Highways. An Act to abolish the office of Superintend ent of Highways. Section 1. That the office of superintend ent of highways now provided for by law be, and the same is hereby abolished. .Section 2. That all of the duties now im posed by law upon the superintendent of highways be, and the same hereby are, de volved upon the county commissioners of the several counties of this State. Academy Exhibition. The exhibition of the Manning Academy which took place last Friday evening was deservedly enjoyed. The following program was successfully carried out: CsaT-SchooL Ceazronsi excr. -CxaRADE-Clarendon Barron, Bryant Henderson, Elise Epps, Bessie Keels, Merl Keels, Abie Weinberg, and Tillie Wolkoviskie. CAIsTENac SoNG-Lillian Benbow, Joe Kalisky, Mood Connor, Inglis Keels, Bessie Galluchat, Eddie Wolkoviskie, and Abie Wolkoviskie. Ho cE, SwnEr Hom-School.

DUMn-sE, ExEncIsE-Boys. Demra-nEzr. EmcisE-Girls. GooD-NsGHT--School. The students held their usual re ception after the exercises. The mer ry voices and happy faces demon strated that pleasure reigned supreme. The occasion altogether was a fitting supplement to the hard work the students had been doing since the beginning of the session, and the teachers felt fully repaid by the en joyment each one seemed to realize during the evening. Tried to Shoot a Poheeman. A white man of this town got on a big drunk last Monday evening, and attempted 'to paint the town auburn. He got vexed with one of the policemen who attempted to quiet him, and cursed him exten sively, and then went home to get his "weapon." He obtained his Manning Guards rifle, and both loaded it and .fixed bayonets ready for a charge. The police man hearing his cursings in another part f the town went to quiet him4 but was or eredl not to approach or clse he (the drunken man) would shoot. Here was a prtty mess. The drunk-en man being in the shade of a tree, the policeman could not see all his movements, and numerous evolutious were made to try to gain a van tage. Finally the rifle was discharged, do ing no damage however. The policeman then easily captured the drunken man, and conducted him to the guard house where he was kept for several hours, till the red paint grew paler. All this happened in a populous part of the town, near the Court Bouse, in the early part of the night. Such disgracefnl conduct should be severely pun ished. To fire off such a rifle, in so popu lous a part of the town, puts in danger and jeopardy the lives of our families. This is not by any means the first time this man has been guilty of gross disorderly conduct, and we fo)rbear publishing his name on this occadion simply out of con sideration of -tie feelings of his family; but the public demand' that he be severely punished.

SUMxnswroO, Jan. 14.-Your correspond ent "C" from this place keeps you so well posted that it is hardly necessary for me to write any thing, but a paragraph in your local columns last week arrests my eye and calls for a brief rejoinder. Surely, Mr. Edit or, some one has let out our secret aspira tions as to the future of Summerton. With the Wilson Road. Eutawville R. R. and the Harvin extension focusing here it is enough to stir our local pride and cause us to build air castles even to the dimensions of Atlan ta the realization of which being only a qetooftme will make Manning one of our ububanvillages, and all of us neigh But jesting aside you will see by referring Ito ews and? Courier of last week that so much of the Wilson Road as has been com leted (two miles of Summerton) was in spected by the R. IL Coimissioners and received, and the road opens for business to-dy, h s oporun for our farmers, the attr ofhauingfertilizers from ten to fifteen miles over roads when they are 2n their worst condition has always been a serious question with on: people. But how changed! Some of our biggest planters can do now in one day what it used 'to take a week to accomplish. Yes, the Wilson road is an established fact and deserves a liberal. share of the patronage of the people. The Steam Boat Co. with Capt. Cordes at its head, is doing its level best to make the people's interest safe at the Bluff. The ex perience of the past two years has shown that the ware house is below high water. The Capt. with a large force of hands is now there raising the floor to a point of safety. The steamer brought up last week s'ever al teams and the requisite outfit for push ing the work of the Eutawville Road to r'apid completioa on this side of Santee. So our community is all in a flutter again on the railroad question. I have written so much and often through your columns on railroads, that I am afraid I bore you, but it was a vital question with us, I felt it and that accounts for my zeal. A~os. The Unexpended School Funds. An Act to amend the law with reference to unepen ded School Funds remaining on hac tteend of any fiscal year. Section 1. That it shall be the duty cf each county treasurer to carry forward all sums in his hands collected for any previ Ious year or years for school purposes and unexpended to the next fiscal year, and Icredit the same to the school districts re spectively for which it was apportioned, and it shall, be the duty of each county treasurer to report the siame to the school ,commissioner of his county, as provided by Absolutely Pure.
