Bass, returned last Friday from an extended visit to Darlington. -Dr. G. Allen Huggins arrived in Cheraw a week ago yesterday. His office over the bank is neatly fitted up, and he is now pre pared to attend to those who need his ser viees.--CheraG Reporter. -Rev. L. D. Bass, who since he left Man ning, has been pastor of a Greenville, Ala., Baptist church, has accepted a call to a Bap tist church in Greenville, Mich., at a much larger salary. Mr. Bass wins for himself great popularity, and judging from the newspaper reports he is doing much good in his new fields of labor. The Greenville, Ala., people were much pleased with him. Moses Levi receivedanother carload of bacon last week. A carload of Tennessee horses and mules at Bell's stables next week. All kinds of fresh garden seeds for sale at Foreston, at Dr. Nettles's drug store. The county commissioners are get ting it on account of the bad condi tion of the roads. Garden seeds, all kinds and all fresh, for sale at Dr. Nettles's drug store at Foreston. Mr. $ Tom Avant has just com pleted another store at Jordan, to be occupied by Karesh.

The next quarterly conference of the Manning Methodist church will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 23d and 24th. Rev. uM. Mood will preach in the Methodist church at this place next -Sunday. Union services in the Meth odist church Sunday night. A carload of Tennessee mules and horses, all broken and all beauties, for sale next week, at Bell's livery stables. Beisure to go to see them. The Charleston Sun of March 9th, says: "The new bridge over the San t4e river is completed. The new train passed over it into Clarendon county vesterday.' -We hope to hear of others in Clar endon entering the field for the $1000 corn 'rns Even if .the prize is not won, it will do great good to make the Wash Logan, who is charged with seling whiskey without a license, has given bond for his appearance at court, and was released from jail last Wednesday. Mrs. Edwards's is the popular place in town. She always has on hand such anice lob of good things, and always gives so much for the money. Be sure to patronize Mrs. Edwards. A train of seventy-five cars, drawn by one of the 3C's big engines was run from Branchville to Charleston last Friday. It was the longest train on record, lacking but a few yards of being a hal mile long. Unless youiknow that a man is an habitual liar you have no right to call him aliar of any sort. This is ade cision handed down by an Ohio court. A man who lies a few times is no more a liar than the man who drinks now and then is a drunkard. W. K. Bell will receive next Satur day night, direct from Tennessee, a arload of as fine mules and horses as were ever brought to this town. He will have them for sale at his stables next week, and all in the county desir ing to purchase stock are advised to call early and inspect this lot. The young girl in Anderson county (says the Augusta Chronicle) who, by her own efforts, made two bales of 'cotton last fall, in order to pay for her schooling, is worth her weight ingold. If there were more work and less dress parade about our girls in town and country, there would be less com plaint about hard times. Working girls are the jewels of the country. Lazy and trifling men, young and old, are drones and positive evils to soci Last Saturday morning Mr. W. W. Holladay and wife, of Summerton, were on their way to Manning. When sear Mr. A. W. Thames's a dog scared the horse, causing him to run. The buggy was run up on a bank of e.'n-th, throwing out both Mr. and Mrs. Hol aday. Mr. Holladay was seriously hurt, sustaining concussion of the brain. He was unconscious for sev eral hours. Mrs. Holladay was injur ed lightly. Both were considerably bruisedand shaken up. Mrs. Holla day is about well of her slight mjuries, but Mr. Holladay is yet confined to his bed; though it is hoped he will be able to. ba out again shortly.. The Board of Equalization was in session yesterday. We shall have something to say of their action in a future issue. Representative Richard W. Town shend, of Illinois, died in Washington last Saturday, of pneumonia, con tracted at the inaugural ceremonies. A rubber snake, one of the best im itations we ever saw, created much fright on one side, and amusement on the other side, in town last Monday. A popular clerk in one of the stores beat a precipitate retreat from a bar rel of potatoes upon discovering a venomous looking reptile seemingly in the act of striking his poisonous fangs into his quivering flesh. The rubber snake had been surreptitiously placed in the barrel while the popular clerk was getting the potatoes out. One of our most progressive farmers had the snake to pitch on to his arm while in the act of shaking hands with the practical joker. The prac tical joker almost had to pick himself up off the ground, and the progres sive farmer insisted that the snake had bitten him on his wrist, showing the abraded place. It took some time to convince him that it was not a real snake. And so on throughout the day. Judge Appelt and Mr. Wither spoon were the artists who handled the snake. Only a Mule. Mr. Ferdinand Sports attempted to drive a mule and buggy, belonging to Mr. James M. Sprott, across Pocotal igo river bridges last Tuesday night. The mule got a foot in a hole in the bridge. In attempting to pull his foot out he jerked up a plank, and every one of his struggles to extricate himself resulted only in his getting up more of the planks, until finally a hole so big was made that he fell through into the water below. The water was deep and the banks steep, so that all the mule could do was to hold his own, and keep from drown ing. Assistance was gotten from Man ning, and the mule pulled out, though with great difficulty. The buggy and harness was much injured. It was not at the time, on account of the darkness of the night, supposed that the mule was badly injured, but before he could reach Mr. Sprott's, about eight miles from Manning, he lay down and died. An investigation the nest morning showed that he had been snagged into the hollow, and that his food had run out the wound. Poor mule! he must have suffered greatly. This is the second time recently that a horse has been injured at the same crossing. Mr. J. W. Huggins a few weeks ago had a horse severely injured at the same place. The cause? We can't say. The county commis sioners possibly can answer why poor horses must endure such cruelty, and the people's property be put in such jeopardy. We understand that on these bridges the board; are simply laid on the stringers without fasten inga of any kind. Had there been any fastenings~ to have held down the boards the probability is that the mule would have gotten his foot out without danger. Who is responsible for the condition of. the bridges? The county commission-ers we think. Old Uncle Wade Newman has a contract to put those bridges in repair, but it is well known he is very slow, and the needs of the public demand that the county be well supplied with bridges. It will probably be months before Mr. Newman will finish the work. Penny wise and pound foolish. The money that will have to be paid out for dam ages by these two accidents would probably have put these bridges in first class condition. Bad roads, and especially bad bridges, will injure the business prospects of any place. Who cares to risk the lives of his stock, and probably the lives of himself and fam ily, by coming to Manning over such bridges? We have been told there are other bridges in the county so unsafe that a two-horse. wagon would not ven ture on them. Can this be possible ? Attempt at Highway Robbery. One day last week, between sunset and dark, as Mr. Furman Jenkinson, of Panola, was going from his fath er's to his and his brother's farm, by a neighborhood road, a big burly ne gro caught up with him, and in avery polite manner began asking him about the distance to certain places in the neighborhood. Having got pretty close to him, he suddenly jumped at him, and by a half push and half knock, threw him on the ground, and jumped on him. He then with an oath said that he would have what he had or else he would kill him, at the same time reaching back to his pistol pocket for a~ razor. Mr. Jenkinson is himself pretty stout, and when the negro reached back for his razor, he by an effort threw the negro off suf ficiently to draw a razor, which he fortunately had placed in his pocket just before starting from his father's. The negro slashed at him, cutting through his coat and vest, but did not reach the skin. Mr. Jenkinson then returned the compliment, but more successfully, catting through the ne gro's cloth'es into his shoulder, caus ing him to bleed freely. This was too much for the negro, who, uttering several cries of pain, turned and fled. The negro was a stranger to Mr. Jenkinson, and was very probably one of the railroad negroes working in that section, who, it is said, are a very vicious and dangerous class of peo Since the above was in type we have heard that the negro was found dead in the woods, having bled to death. We do not vouch for the truth of this report, though it comes from a renia ble source. The best 50c corset in Samter at Levi's. Complete stock of shoes for gentlemen, is dies, misses and boys.

LaMotte Lesesne's residence, near Panola, last Saturday afternoon. Capt. Lesesne's hospital ity was boundless, and wine flowed freely. A misunderstanding occurred between two of the party. Capt. Les esne and Lieut. Ed. Briggs, both be longing to the same military compa ny, became involved. Hot words were spoken, followed by blows. A lull came. The difficulty was again renewed. Words, knives, and fists were used. Capt. Lesesue cut at Lieut. Briggs's throat with a knife. Briggs struck Lesesne a stinging blow in the face just in time to save his throat from being cut, but got a deep cut to the bone on his chin. Some others of the party got mixed up in the melee. Quiet was again had. Lieut. Briggs the next day sent Capt. Les esne a note demanding satsfac tion, and suggesting Sammy Swamp bridge as a suitable place to -meet. Capt. Lesesne demurred from transact ing such business on the Sabbath, but said he would be ready Monday morn ing to see him. But before any furth er meetings could take place, peace officers had the parties in band, and each was required to give a peace bond. The above is a brief outline of what might have been a bloody duel. The parties engaged in the difficulty are young, their blood warm, and they, either one of them, would promptly resent any insult. All were friends. But wine, ruby red wine, was probably the chief cause. No bad blood exist ed before, and we presume all has been satisfactorily settled ere now. Explanations and apologies all around, and "all's well that ends well." FORESTON CHAT. Fine Farm Weather-Rard to get a School Teacher-Social Notes. FoRrsToN, March 11.--Sunshine once more. We feared tie long continued wet spell would very much retard farming matters, but having a call in the country a few days ago, were ag eeably surprised to find farmers so well up with their work, and cheerful ly pushing ahead. Sorry to announce that our school is again closed. Wanted-a teacher. None need apply except well qualified. Send us such an one as early as possi ble. Our merchants are doing well for the season, and are happy. Our truck farms are also in apple pie order, and we have no doubt but that a Foreston farmer will secure the prize offered by the agricultural department for the largest yield of corn per acre. The Rev. Mr. Rooke, of the Bap tist church, gave us two fine sermons yesterday. In the morning the sub jects of self-denial and cross-bearing was fully and ably discussed, and in the evening the importance of search ing the Scriptures was the subject. r. Rooke is very popular among our people, and' therefore always com mands a full house and an attentive congregation. Foreston is always full of life, and therefore seldom without visitors. Among those now here are 'Mrs. Keels at Rev. J. S. Porter's, Miss Ola Rast at Capt. S. Y. Barnes's, Mr. Brasing ton at Rev. Carson's, Miss-at Mr. W. T. P. Sprott's (permanently), and Mr. Brown and family at Mr. Mc Roy's. Our young folks have a sociable al most every week, and seem to enjoy themselves very much. Oh ! Foreston is full oflife. F.

Peculiar To Itself In many important particulars, loed's Sarsaparlla is different from and superior to any other medicine. Peculiar in combination, proportion and prep aration of Ingredients, Hood's Sarsaparfa pos esses the full curative value of the best known remedies of the vegetable kingdom. Peculiar in Its medicinal merit, Hood's sarsapy ima accomplishes cures hitherto unknown. Peular in strength and economy-Hood's Sar saparniaIs the only medicine of which can truly be said,"100 doses one dollar." Medicines inlarger and smaller bottles require larger doses, and do not produce as good results as Hood's Sarsaparma. Peculiar in Its "good name athome "-there Is more of Hood's Sarsaparlfasoldin Lowelwhere it is made, than of all other blood purifiers.
