He seems to be equal to the demands of his office, and is discharging his duties with promptness and capability.-ruagstree Record. Less business is before the present court than has been for many years. McCafferty will auction another car load of horses in Manning next Friday. The Baptist Ladies' Bazaar is fur nishing good dinners and suppers, and meeting with merited success. The county commissioners will meet next Monday. Hope they will be able then to pay out some money. Do you want to buy a horse? Then be sure to come to Manning next Friday to the auction sale of fine horses. The Ladies' Missionary Society o f the Presbyterian church will have a dime reading to-night at Mr. I. Moul trie Bagnal's residence. The public invited. ~It is well known that MeCafferty sells horses at auction at just what he can get for them; so if you want a big bargain in a fine horse, come to Man ming next Friday. A car load to be sold at auction. Albert H. Bradham was examined last seek by Drs. Richardso2 and Brown for lunacy, but the physicians decided that while he was somewhat excentric, yet he was not a .lunatic, and declined to give a certificate for lunacy. Snow began falling last Monday morning about 3 o'clock, and contin ued till after daylight. It was abott an inch and a half deep. No sleet fell with it, and the temperature turn ing much warmer, it was all gone by midday. But it was enjoyed while it lasted. ExpressOffnce Changed. We neglected to staite last week that the express ofce had been changed to the de pot. Mr. J. S. Plowden has moved'into the country, and in consequence had to resign. The superintendent in accepting Mr. Plow den's resignation, spoke very kindly of the effcient way in which he had discharged the duties of the offce. Mr. N. A. Hall, depot agent, has been appointed agent. No more acecommodating agent could have been ap pointed, but its location at the depot will considerably inconvenieuce most people. If the express company would arrange for a town delivery, it would largely conveni ence the town people. A Lonely Vigil. One of our popular county offiers en deavored one day last week to change the combination to the safe in his offce. He got it changed, but could not get it right agsin. It refuseedto act, as the small boy would say. Night came on, and still it re fused to do his bidding. Finally wearied out he yielded, and pillowing his head on a cushion scarcely less soft than the stone old Jacob once used for his pillow, he with Spartan fortitude watched by the side of his treasures or valuables till the next day, when his efforts met with success, and the poderous door of the safe could be eeured ba little turn of a dial Escaped from the "Rotten" Jail. Iast Friday afternoon about dusk it was discovered that two of the three prisoners in jail had escaped. They occupied the same cell, and had with a spoon or some such instrument scr-aped through a plank, and forcing a staple from its hold, had got out into the passage way. A shake or twc en the lock of the outer door, put them in the sweet fresh air once again. They then silently bade the old jail good-bye, and left for parts as yet unknown to the Shieriff. This rickety building, though built only four o2 flye years ago, is a disgrace to the county and to the county commissioners who bmili it. We respectfully submit for the consid eration of our county commissioners, and of our representatives in the Legislature, that the present building be sold as a pig. eon house, and that a substantial brici .building be built to be used as a a. Big Damages. Our readers remember how that several months ago, on account of some trouble with the North..eastern railroad, in whici: Mrs. Willoughby, of Lake City,. was involv ed, a suit for $50,000 damages was broughi against the railroad. Last week the Wil. Hiabu-g court gi.:e Mrs. Willoughby s verdict for $10,000. The case; will pro bably en to the supremae court. Horses at Auction Next Friday. Charles McCafferty, the well known horse drover, writes us that he will sell at auction at Bell's livery stables, in Manning, Friday morning, Feb. 15th, to the highest bidder for cash, one car load fine horses. He will sell these horses, regardless of what is bid; and it will probably be his last sale in Manning for this season. Mc Cafferty is the largest and wealthiest horse dealer that ever sold stock in I this State, and every year he selh thousands of horses and miles in this State, many of them being sold at re markably low figures. Every body having any expectation of buying stock, should come to Manning next Friday, and they will have an oppor I tunity of buying horses at very low figures. Mules Too. We received a telegram yesterday from Mr. McCafferty stating that he would also bring several fine mules, to be sold at auction next Friday. Dr. Huggins's Sudden Illness. Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock while Dr. H. H. Huggins was sitting in one of the Court House offices, he was suddenly taken ill. At his re quest he was carried into the open air, where he suffered a great deal. At one time it was feared that he would die right there. After about ten minutes, however,, he got suffic iently well to be removed to his resi dence. He was much better yester day afternoon, and hopes to be able to be out to-day or to-morrow. He has been suffering from rheumatism for several months, and it was a slight attack of rheumatism of the heart that affected him yesterday. The Auditor Beaten in his Office. Shortly after Dr. Huggins's sudden attack of rheumatism of the heart yesterday, Mr. George H. Huggins walked into the auditor's office, and with a right sizable walking stick (or ange wood) began beating auditor D. J. Bradham. One blow, and the one that gave the most pain, hit Capt. Bradham on the short stump of his amputated arm, causing the flesh on the stump to swell very much. He struck four blows in all, one of which was warded off by a chair, breaking the chair rounds out. Mr. Huggins was then taken hold of. and Capt. Bradham was assisted to his residence, where he received medical assistance. The only severe wound Capt. Brad ham got was that on the stump of his amputated arm. Capt. Bradham hopes than he will be able to be out to-day. Mr. Huggins says he approached Capt. Bradham, and telling him that his course had nearly killed his fath er, began beating him. He said nothing to any one of his intentions, and his action took every one by sur prise. Capt Bradham says Mr. Huggins said nothing to him, but while be was sitting at his desk, taking a tax return, he was struck, and he did not know who was striking him until the third blow. when be saw and recog nized Mr. Huggins. Mr. W. H. Cole who was in the room, and the first to attempt to stop Mr. Huggins, says the blowvs were the first intimation he had of the difficulty. The cause of the'difficulty was that Mr. Huggins thinks Capt. Bradham, the county auditor, has acted very unkindly toward his father, Dr. H. H. Huggins, the late treasurer, in refer ence to making his settlements with the county. Baruwell is Puzzled. ( Charleston World.] ..BamcwztL Feb. 5.-One of the strangest incidents that I have ever known occurred recently. One Lewis Ashley was arrested and brought before Trial Justice Patterson for failing to pay poll tax. He was convict ed and committed to jail, and it has been subsequently ascertained that the offender, who was supposed to be a man, was a wo man in man's clothing. This woman has been in Barnwell as a man for seven or eight years; she smokes, chews, and has voted in our elections under the name of Lewis Ashly, as was shown on her registra tion ticket. She is still in jail, and may have to serve the remainder of her sentence, as no onc seems disposed to interest them selves in her behalf, and the trial justice says he cannot revoke his sentence. She will not give her name, and no one can as certain why she assumed the apparel of and went thus masquerading as a man. It has been learned that she is the mother of two children. Sumter's Knights of Pythias. Storrza, Feb. 8.-[Special to the Colum bia Registr.]-Grand Chancellor Comman der Thotupson of Darlington, assisted by delegates from the Colum'bia and Darling. ton lodges, instituted a lodge of Knights of Fvthias at this place last evening.

The Presbyterians of this place have pro cured part of the time of tne Rev. Mr. Bogg as pastor of their church. There seems to be considerable excite ment over the Harvin Brothers' Tram Road at least when a fellow is driving a wild horse by it, as we can testify to the amount of one smash up. But you ManningiteE must look after this matter; for if it is > nuisance you allowed it, and if it is to be abated you must abate it, for it is no fight of ours. We would say for the benefit of those concerned, an1 who don't like to past that tram road, if they will coae to Sum merton our merchants will sea:. them good, about as cheap for the cash a3 they can gel them anywhere in the county.

Mr. Edmunds, of Sumter, will preach in the Presbyterian church in thiu place next Saturday and Sunday, commun ion on Sunday. C. The Beaufort County Troubles. BE*ArFORT, February, 8.-The grand jury finished their work to-day. Among other recommendations they made concerning the county troubles was that the new county commissioners buy books and seals for all offices, as the records had been carried away by the old officers, and that the old officers' bondsmen be indicted, and alsc that the officers be indicted for carrying the records of the county away. They al so made demands on each of the old officers for the books and seals they had taken away. Each of them refused to surrender, and said he would only give them when the highest courts in the land order himn to do so. ROYAL ItwDe POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
