THE MANNING TIES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDIESDAY, MARCH 13, 1889. It is estimated, at the present rate of increase, both natural and by emi gration, that by the time the next census is taken, which will be in July, 1890, the population of the United Sttes will be about 67,000,000 souls. A bill has been introduced in the parliament of Canada, to provide for the annexation of the New England States, provided it can be done in a p ale manner. It is said that the object of its introduction is to show the United States government that Canada regards such proposals as that of Congressman Butterworth, for the purchase of Canada, in the light of an insult. The News and Courier some time ago offered eight cash prizes, amount ig to $50, to the school children of Charleston for original stories, to be equally divided among the white and colored children. The names of the winners were announced last Sunday, and the prize stories will be published soon: the four stories of the white children next Sunday; and the four stories of the colored children the fol lowing Sunday. The North Carolina legislature has passed a bill to pension ex-Confeder ate soldiers from that State. It im poes a tax of 4 cents on $100 valua tion of property, and 12 cents on the p and will yield $105,000. There no opposition to the bill. The pen sions are on a scale according to the extent of the disability. Widows of poldiers killed in action, or who died of wounds or of disease contracted while in service, will receive $25 an nually. Only a few shad have so far been brought to this market, and these were small. Great complaint is made sgainst the Georgetown fishermen, who, it is claimed, keep their nets in the river not less than seven days in the week, although the law says only three days can be used for this pur pose. The fish are thus all stopped at Georgetown, and will result in a total destruction of our future supply of shad. This open and flagrant viola jigaof a State law ought to be stop. &The shad are daily shipped North, the earload. Just before the close of the last Congress, a resolution was passed making the salary of the President's private secretary $6,000 a year, in -tead of $4,500 as heretofore. Another resolution was then passed to pay Daniel Lamont, Cleveland's private secretary, a gratuity of $6,000, "back pay." This Lamont refused for the reason that when he accepted the of fice he took it with full knowledge of its remuneration, and he was not therefore entitledto more. We shall mot see any such conscientious hon esty for the next four years from Re publican office holders. An exchange says when Bishop Heber's famous missionary hymn, 'From Greenland's Icy Mountains, which he wrote in 1824, when in Cey Ion, first reached this country a lady in Charleston was much impressedi with it, and was particularly anxious to find a tune suited to it. She ran alcked her music in vain, and then chancing to remember that in a bank down the street was a young clerk arbo had considerable reputation as a iusical genius, she sent her son with the hymn to the clerk with the re guet that he write atune to fit it. In pust half an hour the boy came back with the hymn, and the melody thus dashed off in hot haste is to-day sung .li over the world, and is inseparably cqnnected with the hymn. The young e*rk was Lowel Mason. The Chicago Hewas, an Independent paper, says: "President Cleveland retires from office admired by his party and respeced by his political opponens ~itr will write him down as one of the great Presidents of the nation. -On most occasions he has acted on the principle that it is better to be right than to be popular. Hehsdone what he conceived to be his duty at the cost of much painful labor, and has refused to leave cer tain duties undone, although hie would have gained largely in popularity by so doing. A fearless, self-reliant man, bae has taught this country some valu able lessons concerning the dangers of wnonopolies, the injustice of granting 'ons to persons unworthy of them, great wrong of unnecessary taxa tipn1 and the evils of overriding the law by hasty special legislation of va-1 sigsJ sorts. In leaving the White 5ouse he has reason to be well con tent with the record which he has made there." Cleveland is a man, every inch of him, and he has a good, sound, level head, full of hard common sense. He acts as his judgment dictates. The New York correspondent of the Phil adelphia Ledggr says: "Ex-President Cleveland's new address is 45 William street, which is within a block of Wall street. The name, 'Grover Cleve land,' already appears on the glass doom opening into the offices of Sangs Stetson, Tracy, & MeVeagh, of 'which important law firm Mr. Cleve land will zow be the most important member. His name is painted on the 4ooi abovesil the other names. It is believed that he will take up his law work immediately. Most men, after four years in the White House, would be glad to take a vacation, but Mr. Cleveland seems to love work better than pa~y, and will, Mr. Stetson thinks, settle down to his law practice in a few days. A suite of fine rooms ini the Hotel Victoria will be the tempo uary' hgme of Mz. and Mrs. Cleveland .x- Mrs Folam. Here also Col La mont and his family will reside for a time." Mr. Cleveland at once began his work, and is in his office every day. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago News says: "Gen. Har rison has not permitted the excitement by which he is surrounded to inter fere with his life-long custom of com mencing the day by asking the bless ing and guidance of the Almighty. Every morning before sitting down to breakfast the family-the General and his wife, Russell Harrison and his wife, Mr. McKee and his wife-and those who are with them, assemble in the parlor, where the General reads a passage of Scripture and kneels in prayer. In speaking of this custom Mrs. McKee said yesterday: 'I don't think we have commenced a day with out family worship since I can re member, no matter what has happen ed. Papa thinks it quite as important as his breakfast, and would not be able to do anything unless he had prayers first. Of course he will con tinue the same customs in the White House. Now he is President he thinks it ever so much more important than before.' The Bible the General uses in his family devotions is the same that he always carries with him when he travels, the same he carried all through the war, and the same that was used when he took the oath of office." THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. School Commissioner Wells's Views on the Public Schools--Suggestions for Improvement. In accordance with my sense of duty and the requirements of the laws of the State, I have, as School Com missioner of Clarendon county, visit ed officially nearly every free school under my jurisdiction, and made close personal observation into the manner of conducting the same, the methods of management, and the books used by the pupils attending the schools. The teachers appear to be earnest and active, ai'd the new series of books adopted by the board have been found in very general use, only here and there an exception to the con trary; while there is good ground for expectation that ere long these books will be handled exclusively. No effort has been spared to impress both patrons and teachers with the- great necessity of conforming to a require ment so beneficial in its results. By a careful survey of the field, the undersigned is convinced that very great improvement could be effected through changes in the existing order of affairs. First, the school districts are too large, for the trustees to give that thorough supervision of the ter ritory under their charge so requisite to the well-being of the schools. They receive no compensation whatever; are often called from home and cannot give the proper oversight to any re mote points, except at very considera ble sacrifice to themselves. Nor is the legitimate duties devolving upon them the only load they have to bear. Consequent to them are many ills nd unpleasantness from factional dis ord and disagreement, where it is often impossible to adjust matters without offence to one side or the other. The remedy, at least a very great alleviation, would seem to lie in a re duction of the work, by a redistrict ing of the county. To make each township a school district would doub le the number of trustees and reduce by one-half the labor of each. Re eiving no pay, it would cost nothing to effect this change, and the scope so reduced would, as it were, place the schools directly under the eyes of those accountable for their successful management. The wants of each vi-' cnty could be better understood; school houses built and schools estab lished where the public money ex pended would to the best advantage subserve the public need. Along this line the greatest requirement, and by far the most important, is the method through which our people may be aroused to the consequence of allow -g the school interest through apathy and indifference to weaken and decay. From different quarters the hue and cry has been raised against the free school system. We are free to admit that connected therewith are defects, but of such a character as readily to be remedied. No one who has given the matter the proper thought could desire to throw any obstacles in the way of these schools when it is called to mind that education is the pallad ium of a people's liberty, and that there is no slavery so galling as the bondage in which ignorance enchns the mind. To such as find themselves in a condition to fully eutivate the intellect of their children, the free schools may appear a farce. But what of the hundreds and thousands who have but this light, faint though it be, to light them in their escape from the fearful thraldom of illiteracy which without the benign effects of these schools would have been much more securely fastened. Let the poor boy have the chance, slim as it is, and ambition may be aroused that will not down at the bid ding of untoward circumstances, and if the girl never progresses beyond the point of being able to read her Bible to her children in after life, who will attempt to say that the school was a farce, and the money thrown away. Let teachers, patrons, trus tees and pupils all put their shoulders to the wheel, and aid the cause of free school education in every way. Let every effort be put forth to sup ply the necessary books, and then keep the children punctually at the school. It may be hard, and often times is, to spare the boy from the farm, but let no trivial demand come between him and the only chance he may ever have perhaps to improve his mind; an opportunity that is soon gone, and once gone can never be re era quesion herein noticed have been deeply considered by me, awak ened by my recent tour of the county on inspection of the schools. The performance of my task while pleas ant as an incumbent duty, bad to be performed under weather so inclement as often to interfere with its discharge. I would especially commend the zeal and earnestness of the teachers, and will kindly remember the many at tentions bestowed upon me by my friends all over the county. L. L. WELLS, School Com. Clarendon Co. Spark's Perfect Health. for kidney and liv er diseases, $1.00 a bottle, at Dinkins & Co's. Foreston Circuit. Rev J. S. Porter in writing to the Advocate has this, among other things, to say of the Foreston circuit: "Our congregations generally are quite large and seem to listen to the Word proclaimed with great earnest ness. Our members are co-operative and are ready to do any and all things for the good of the cause, and have laid us under great obligations to do our best for them, not only because of their help in church matters but also in their temporal gifts. Often when we enter our buggy to leave the church and their homes do we find such things as butter, ham, eggs, rice and chickens among other good things placed there by kind hands for the preacher and his loved ones at home. And on last Saturday our Jordan membership drew our hearts nearer to them by the many nice things that they sent to the parsonage by one of their zealous stewards, Broth er W. T. Sprott. We feel more grate ful than we can express, not only for the variety and number of good things -even to toilet articles-which they gave, but also for the good will and love for their pastor. May God bless all of these kind people in their hearts, families, and fields, and make us wor thy recipients of their thoughtfulness and love." FORESTON STILL ON TOP. One of Her Corn Planters Certain of the Prize-Is Willing to Stake the Product of His Prize Acre against the Product of any other Acre in the County. FoREsToN, March 11.-I noticed in your last issue that one of your Man ning friends proposes to be a compet itor for the $1000 corn prize, and ex pects to get it from the following rea sons: First, he says his soil is several feet deep. Second, he says he made from 75 to 85 bushels the last two years. I will say to the gentleman that down here we make our corn on top, and if he expects to win the prize it will take about all he can make in three years. Foreston stands head in corn, and expects to stand there. If any one doubts it, to the value of an acre of corn, just let him hand his name to the editor of the TDrIs and he can find his man in Foreston. One of our small farmers is preparing for the prize acre. He is putting it in good condition, and he expects to win it, he says, or he would not con test for it. He says if he fails the winner will have to make over 300 bushels. He seems to be solid on that amount. The weather is clear and cold. Land drying off, and plows moving.

What is this Disease that is Coming Upon Us? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeing like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes, are sunken,. the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl ing sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after stand ing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsa. ' It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel's Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTEE THA.N COTTON. Mr. John C. Hempinstall, of Chulafirnee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel's Syrup 'that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any suf ferer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it will soon sellin this State better than cotton. TESTIMONY FROM TEXA8. Mrs. S.EK Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. SRE WAS ALMOsT DEAD I was so low with dyspep sia that there was not a phy sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called "Life Among the Shakers," which described my disease btter than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until today I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Mulenburg Co., Ky. For sale by all Druggists, or address the proprietor, A.
