THE MANNING TIMES. Mannin g, B. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1889. COURT. Court convened last Monday, His Honor, J. J. Norton, presiding. Solic itor Wilson and Stenographer Par rott are both at their posts of duty. On account of the "jail delivery" last week, there was left only one prisoner, and the trial of that case, Eliza Colclough, for arson, is set for this morning. The grand jury found true bills in the following cases, all of which ex cept the first are continued to the next term of court: Eliza Coiclough, arson. Ransom Keels disposing of proper ty under lien. Ransom Keels, obtaining goods un der false pretenses. Fred Crooms, George McDuffie, and Powell Span, burglary and lar ceny. There has been almost nothing done so far. Court was in session only about ten minutes yesterday. The civil court will begin to-day, but, on account of the recent severe illness of Senator Rhame, all the cases in which he is interested have been continued. Court will adjourn to-day or to-morrow. The report of the grand jury will probably be made to-day. Solicitor Wilson appears perfectly easy and natural in his position, and makes a good officer. The petit jury was discharged Mon day till Wednesday, thus saving the county an expense of about fifty dol lars. The Smalls-Elliott contest case was called up in Congress Monday, and several speeches were made. The case was left over for yesterday, when very probably a vote was taken. The Legislature of North Carolina is considering a bill to amend the State election laws. The amendment is almost an exact copy of the South Carolina "eight box law." In 1876 South Carolina cast 180,000 votes for Presidential electors. Since thea the number has declined stead i1y. Last election it was but 80, 000, less than half what it was a dozen ears ago. When Grover Cleveland doffs the robes of office March 4th he will re turn to New York and practice his profession, having associated himself with the law firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy, & MeVeagh. The interest on the public debt now amounts to 69 cents per head of our population per annum. Taking the average family to be five persons, this In 1888 there were 2,184 murders,I *and only eighty-seven executions. The death rate among murderers is lower than in any other class. Murder is seldom attended with fatal conse quences, except to the murdered. The length of the Missssppi river has always been plcdat 4,100 miles, btivlengineersfaiarwtth over 400 miles in twenty years and vil do as well in the twenty to come. Col. Charles R. Jones, once editor and proprietor of the Charlotte Daily Observer, is now in the Morganton (N. C.) Insane Asyldm. He did a very profitable business until he began to take a hand in politics. In 1882 he ran as an Independent candidate for Congress, and of .course was over whelmingly defeated. He lost money steadily from that time until 1887, when be was forced to make an assign ment. His unfortunate condition is said to be due to the effects of the opium and morphine habit. The Florence Times is in the broad road of prosperity, and we congratu late Friend Prince. His business has so increased that he has taken in a pater, Mr. R C. Starr, Jr., who will devote his time specially to editing the Times, while Prince will devote himuself to the large job printing bus igg The Times was full of good newsy matter last week, and it de serves a large and liberal support from the people of Florence. Prince has worked hard for the development of Florence, and has done no little in placing that town where it now is. !esident Cleveland sent to the Senate last Saturday the nomination of Ex-Governpor Hugh S. Thomupson,, to be one of the civil service commis sioners, in place of Alfred P. Edger ton, who was removed because the ?resident did not think he exhibited suffcient interest in and sympathy with the civil service methods. It is hoped that the Senate will confirm the nomination, but it is possible that -body, which, has a Republican major ity, will refuse to do so, and by wait ing a month, give to Harrison the * privilege of filling the vacancy. Mr. Edgerton, it is claimed, will stoutly contest for reappointment to the po sition. The President's letter re ~~iaoving Mr. Edgerton was brief and to the point, consisting of but one sentence: "You are hereby removed from the office of civil service com missioner." The President is very anxious todeave Gov. Thompson in a good and poemanent position. Gov. Thompson, it willebs.emembered, re signed the governorship of South Carolina, in order to accept the posi tion of first assistant secretary ord he 0:easurv. Confederates Congregated. In compliance with an act passe( by the recent General Assembly of this State requiring that all of thE survivors, soldiers and sailors of the Confederate States from this State o2 resident thereof, meet at their respec tive Court Houses in each county on 'the 2nd Monday in February, 1889, at 11 o'clock, A. x., and there and then form a permanent organization, elect ing its chairman and secretary, and also to elect five of their number who shall compose a board of pension com missioners for their respective coun ties, the survivors of the soldiers of the county of Clarendon held their meeting to-day. They formed themselves into an or ganization by electing comrades W. J. Clark and A. J. Richbourg tempo rary chairman and secretary, and the chairman explained the object of the meeting in a brief and systematic way. The secretary was ordered to form a roll of all the survivors pres ent, which was done, 42 survivors signing the roll. On motion of com rade J. E. Davis the temporary organ ization was made permanent. Comrade D. J. Bradham made a brief address to the members of the organization, setting forth the duties of the hour to the sufferers of our land, by our efforts in the lost cause. The following named comrades were elected to serve on the pension board of commissioners: D. J. Bradham, A. J. Richbourg, J. Elbert Davis, John W. Clark, and N. B. Barrow. On motion of comrade N. B. Bar row it was requested that the board of pension commissioners collect the names of all the survivors of their respective communities, and return them to the secretary. It was moved by comrade B. L. Gowdy that at the close of the meet. ing, all the old survivors fall into line and march out to be dismissc: i. xhich was carried. Comrade D. J. L adham moved that the papers of our county be requested to publish the proceed ings of the meeting, which was unan imously carried. There being no further business, the motion for adjournment was offer ed and carried. Chairman W. J. Clark then ordered the organization into line and under Capt. D. J. Brad ham was marched out of the Court House on the square where they were disbanded until October 1889. W. J. CLARK, A. J. RrcEno n, Chairman. Secretary. A Plea for Harvins Railroad. SumeTos, Feb. 11.-A d.y or two ago a petition was shown us, emanating from Manning, the object of which was to pre sent to the Grand Jury the railroad run ning out from that town parallel to the road leading westward, as a nuisance, and have it as such abated. Surely the gnod people of' the town are acting hastily and inconsiderately, being lead by impulse into a condemnation of one of the most important enterprises it has ev er had, and which if accomplished, would result in great financial loss to its author. Manning owes as much to Scott Harvin as any other man who has ever lived there. To the manor born, he has given all his splendid energies to the building up of his -native DOl:.Aho, nan'.trions energetwe, scrupulously exact in all his bousiness rela tions, he to-day is an example worthy the imitation of all our young men. Manning does not seem to know when she has a good thing. If she is too small a place for Scott Harvin, why Sumumerton will welcome him with oper arms, and let him build her brick kilns, run saw mills, grist mills, gins, and build all the railroads he wants. If it was wrong to let him build the road where it is, it will be doubly a wrong now to make him move it. "Two wrongs do not make a right" Spealking for a g-reat many people here, I will say, that whenever, during our past relations with Ma-nning, we have been compelled, laboriously to un dertake a trip there we have been always obliged to go five miles further than we ought, and the Barvin Railroad will not impose a much heavier burden upon us; for, by going only a mile further out of the way, we can get there and not come in col lision with the railroad either, and we pro pose to continue our occasional visits, if we have to take the Wilsons road. For years we have been trying to get a public road to the county seat. In starting from here we have three routes, one for some miles in the direction of Sumter, the other towards Nelsons Ferry, points dia metrically opposite, and neither in any way leading towards our destination. The third route is through the woods, no road as all, but where we really ought to have one. But we have not as yet 'oeen consid ered of sufficient importance to be granted this boon. No, our idea is that the public road that has been injured should be itself condemn ed, and abandoned, inasmuch as it leads to no where, although it raakes a big start; and the county should gramt the Summer ton and Jordan section a straight road fromn King's place direct to 3lannin~g, thereby saving the mile that is unnecessarily trav eled to McLeod's corner. Jvsvicz. Justice Wields a Partial Sceptre. The Colunbia Register of Tuesday contains an account of a difficulty which occurred in that city on Monday afternoon between Capt. W. B. Lowrance and John Bausktt. Esq., United States Commissioner, in which Baus kett used a pistol, and an innocent by-stand er came near losing his life. But it is the same old story. The Rafjister says: "The whole affair is a most regretable one; and it is a matter for congratulation th Lhe con sequences were not more seri" -.At la'st accounts no arrests had been -nas.e, r'nd no complaint lodged with the police by either party to warrant one." If neither of the gentleanen involve. J wish to make a charge, the grand jury of Ilieh land county should certainly in-estigate the matter. When a poor aegro is found w-ith a pistol, or razor, in his pocket he is sent to jail, charged with carrying concealed wecap ons; but here we have a Uniited States Comn missioner, in our capital city, in sight of the State House, under our boaAed demo cratic government, with a deadly w.:pon in his pocket anid ready to use it on the sil git est provocation. What is our State government coming to? When has a man with money and political infuence been punished in South Carolina? Are our State laws made and executed for the protection of gentlemnen (so called) and for the punishment of poor maen and ne groes? If the grand jury ot Rtichland countr does not sift this matter to the bottom, and bring John Bauskett, Esq., to justice for carrying a pistol (if for nothing cl'ee) every man on it will be false to his oath. The sooner a few such men arc made to sr'tier the extreme penalty of the 1:'.w, the sooner the reprehensible practice of carrying con cealed weapons will be broken up. We shall watch this case with much inter est to, see if the "gentlemen of the jury' have back-bone enough to do their duty. Greemoood Tribune. Red and white onmon sets at Dinkins d Paralyzed by Gattn. It would be strange if paralysis should prove the bane of the girl of the period be cause of her fondness for chewing guim. In Harrisburg there is said to be a girl suffering from facial paralysis who has em ployed her jaws s) constantly in gum chew ing that the inucl s of her face are power less, and in whiatver position she twits Ler mouth it ren ains contorted Until some member of the fannly sets it right. It is not generally known that one of the most distiagoiished and beautiful women in Washirigton society suffers great annoy ance irom occasional facial paralysis, which she attributes to the habit of chewing gum acquired at school. Just now when the voice of woman is heard in politics, on the platform and from the bustlings, it would be sad should the onward progress of the sex be stayed by the paralysis of chewing gum. Can it be that the higher cause of -.woman, emancipated from tight corsets. curl-papers and high-heels, is to succumb at last to Tolu gum !-C .lumbia Ricord. Fruits of a Mortgage. We saw a poor farmer receive a cheek for s5(') Monday. It cost him a mottgage on "200 acress of good land worth $200o0. lIe paid the loan agent s25, bought sonic gro ceries and he had fully S300 left that he had no use for. He had never had this much money before and he felt good. Iii : family were with him and he spent $100 more in finery for them. He bought a fan cy cultivator and $100 was nearly gone. In three hours time he couldn't s-e where the rest had gone. He owed a hundred dollars in scattering debts and of course could not pay out with the $80. He looked at the cul tivator and cursed. He rebuked his little girl for telling :in that he had forgotten to bay a pound of black pepper. Ile cursed the loan conipany and offered to take $100 for his land. That mien will never redeemI his land. He cannot. He simplly gave that mortgage company $1500, and perhaps some interest in the future. Poor a:an !

A: an official dinner a few nights ago a distinguished society belle from New Yots, one of MdcAllister's four hundred, was ob served to handle the wing of a chicken with her fingers, and afterward daintily niblle a "drumstick" the same way without the use of knife or fork. Some of the Cabinet and administration ladies, only one of whom belongs to the four hundred, marvelled at this and thought it showed "lack of breed ing." The one authority, Mrs. Whitney, re I marked that the action of the young lady was in perfectly go'od form. The list of things that can be eaten from the fingers is on the increase. It inclun~es all bread. toast, tarts and small cakes, celery and asparagus, when served whole, as it should be, either hot or cold; lettuce, which must be crumpled in the fingers and dipped in salt or sauce; olives, to which a fcrk should never be put any more thau a knife should be used on raw oysters; straw-ber ries, when served with the stems on, as they should be, are touched to pulvarized sugar; eheese in all forms except Drie or Roquefort or Cumbefort, and fruit of all kinds. except preser-ves and melons.

A Tragedy- of Errtors. Lcxnox, Feb. 5.-The Daily Kerrs to-day has the 0i1owing special from Munich, dated Trues~iav: cmTesllwin are believed to be the cir cu .ane nder whbeh the death of the Austrian Crown Prince took place: A beau tiful young Baroness, not tall, but rather dark, and of a hively disposition arrived at Meyerling and took up her quarters at the gameikeeper's house, not far from the castle. No one knew of her being there except the gamekeeper and his wife. At midnight when the Crown Prince had bidden his 'guests good night he went to see her and had been with her about an hour when the forester, already equipped for the morning's .chase, went to the house to ask the game keeper about details of instruictions on some doubtful question. He knocked loudly at the (door and a win dow opened and a man jumped out and ran away. The forester aimed and tired. The fugictive fell, and when the forester walked up to him he recognized the Crown Prince, who had fainted. The shot had gone imto his shoulder. The forester called for help, and with another man carried him into the gamekeeper's house. The baroness taking him to be dead, turned to her traveling bag, took something out, and before she had been noticed fell dead on the tloor. Then the Crown Prince came to and wa.s taken by his u'n orders to the castlc, where his valet began to ask anxious <pestions. The Crown Prince said impatiently: "I have fallen and my nose is bleeding. Go away. I wish to be alone." The valet went out reluctantly, and the Crown Prince locked the door and commit ted suicide before a mirror. The Baroness was buried on Thursday in the convent where all her family are interred.

He has been imprisoned ostensibly for con tempt of court, in refusing to deliver to his rsaccessor in office, the books and records of the Probate Court. He has ssued a lon'z winded proclamation to his dusky party in which he claims that his successor was not legally elected, and therefore has no right to the books and records of the office. But it is stated frot B'eaufort that the truth is he Las been consistently at the Republican game of st- aling. The books and records arc said to be in a shocking state, showing that he has systematically robbed every estate that has been brought into his court. His irregularities, outrages and stealings are of great miagnitude, and must involve him in numerous prosecutions. Hence his wil ingness to go to jail under the charge of contempt, rather than submit, to the expos ure of his crimes, and meet the punishment ho knows to be inevitable.

The alarming disease of this country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but it is essen tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu tions for nervous padients are crowded. The averac of life in the United States) is de creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui cides, committed w :hout ap parent reason, or under so-:alled "depression of spirits," are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. They wreck manhood's streingth and woman's useful ness and beauty. Every one should know the causes. What are they? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; nd, briefly, our. desperate 'llingness to pay any price for an hour's pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous Dvspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is litcrally starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostrtation sends out its warnings :-headache in the mor' 'r ; a persistent dull heaviness or achingr at th~e base of the bin; wkfulness; losoof ppet.ean dis~gust with food lsof mentalenergy and interest in ordin""~'y duties and business restl-ne'ss and anx iety without any assignable r eas o n;~ eri'etations;.,bad breath; foul mre'ou.s on the teeth; occasional giddiness; ,alpitation of the heart; sal owness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker Extract of Roots (Seiger's Syrup) to cure the mischief alreadly done. This great remedy, prepared by the ~Shaker Community of Mt. Leb anon, N. Y., is especially adapt ed to eradicaite N'ervous Dys pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon the disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion of bile, ex pelling waste matters from the syteo~nd purifying the blood. ~ pnthe nervous system Shaker Extract(Seigep's Syrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slghtest narcotic effect, and then Teaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and stredgth through it~s wonderful innluence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to say more nerv ous dyspeptics have been re stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other forms of treatment combined. 4.
