Alderman and wife, of Al colu, who were visiting here." A correspondent from the old Gail du postoffice, writing under date of March 20th, says: "On yesterday eve there was the greatest fall of rain of this season, attended with considera hie hail. All farm operations sus pended for the present." At the Manning Methodist church quarterly conference held last Satur day, Messrs. J. F. Rhame and J. W. McLeod were elected delegates to the district conference, to be held in Bishopille next July. Messr& T. J. Cole and W. G. King were elected al There were several accidents, last Tuesdy and Wednesday, on the W. C. & A. and N. E railroads. The most serious was near the Savannah junction, in which a colored fireman was killed. Trains were considerably delayed, and no mail was received here Wednesday. The Georgetown Enquirer says: "The American Transportation Corn pany has agreed to add $50 to the prnze offered by the G. & W. Railroad Company for the best display of gar den truck grown during the present year along the line of the road. Thc successful competitor will, therefore, get $100." Preparations are now being made for building a new Baptist church at Sampit Station on the Georgetown and Western Railroad. The lumber required for the purpose has been given by Mr. D. WV. Alderman, of Clarendon County, and the railroads have offered to haul it for half rates. -News and Courier. The order of Knights of Pythias is rapidly growing in this place.

Rhame and T. G. Barker for the de fendants. Dudley Eugene liodge. Dudley Eugene Hodge died at his residence in the Fork sectiou last Sunday morning, aged exactly sixty two years, having been born March 24, 1827. Mr. Hodge was a native of this county. At the age of eighteen he married Miss Frances A. Harvin, who, with five children, all grown, survive him. His wife was a daugh ter of the late Samuel Harvin, who was one of the best citizens of the county. Mr. Hodge several years ago bad a light stroke of paralysis, and more recently (Nov. 24, 18S8) another se verer stroke of the same disease. This together with a complication of other diseases and a general breaking down of his system resulted in his death. Mr. Hodge was a member of the Baptist church, and his funeral was preached last Monday morning at the Dudley Baptist church (which, by the way was named for himr), by his life long friend, Rev. Henry W. Mahoney. Mr. Mahoney and Capt. JamesD. Mc Faddin, each considerably more than eighty years old, were the oldest per sons at the funeral. A very large concourse of people, many of whom were colored folks, attended the fu neral. Mr. Hxlge bad a liberal academic and classic education, and was a man of strong convictions and firm resolu tions-a man of good judgment, whose opinions were sought with treat respect. Mr. Hodge was a man of ample means, large hearted, a friend and benefactor to the poor. We are told that he never closed his door or heart against the poorest outcast, but was the friend of every man. He was one of the best farmers in the county, al ways raising a superabundance of provisions. A good man and useful citizen is gone. Mrs. Lenora Bradlian. Mrs. Lenora Bradham, widow of Abijah R. Bradham, died at the resi dence of her son-in-law, Mr. J. Carson Stukes, last Saturday, March 23rd, in the seventy-seventh year of her age, having been born Oct. 10, 1812. She had been sick only a few days. Mrs. Bradham had for many years been a member of the Baptist church, having been baptized by Rev. H. W. Mahoney more than fifty years ago. She leaves one hundred living child ren: eight children, fifty-four grand children, and thirty-eight great grand children. Mrs. Bradham was a re markably healthy woman, having probably never had a physician with her more than two or three times dur ing her life, and her death was chiefly the result of old age. Mrs. Sarah A. Hodge. Mrs. Sarah A. Hodge, widow of the late Miles Hodge, died at the resi dence of tier son, Jno. M. Hodge, near Oakland, last Saturday, March 23rd. Mrs. Hodge was a member of the Dudley Baptist church, and bore the reputation oi being one of the best and purest Christian women of that neighborhood. She was nearly seventy years old.* Thomas M. Timmrons. Mr. Thomas M. Timmons, who lived about four mile~s from Manning, died at his residence yesterday, aged about sixty-five years. He was quiet ad unobtrusive in manner, and for the most of his life had been a crip ple. He was a member of the Oak Grove Methodist church, Free Excursion fvr the Manning Guards.

Swift's Specific is entirely a vcge table remedy, and seems to cure can cer by forcing the poison out of the system thrcugh the sore. Send for book on cancer and blood poison, mailed free. TrE Swwr SPnceme Co. Grains fron Greeleyville. GREE.ZYVILLE, Mar. 23.-The spring of the year is upon us, but the spring ing of vegetation is checked by too much water and cold air. The warm, bright rays of the suu yesterday and to-day give promise of a change of conditions. Change, motion, progress forwards or 'backwards, to develop ment or decay, is the rule; periods of rest the exception. The present is a time of change, and nothing escapes it. The United States wants to annex Canada, Canada wants to annex the New England States, and to cap the climax somebody wants to build a Court House at Lake City because the top of the one at Kingstree has been destroyed by fire. If this is accom plished another new county will be in order. Remoteness of inhabitants from a court of justice is now being used as an argument in favor of in creasing the number of houses in which to hold them. This will be a good argument with the people living between Black River and Santee in the county of Williamsburg. There are other arguments which may be properly used. In advocating the :: naHke Clarendon county (then a part of Sumter district) a judicial district, Mr. F. D. Richardson, a mem ber of the Legislature from Charles ton, said, "a court house is a public educational institution," or words to that effect. Look around you, Mr. Editor, and behold the proof of the truth of the declaration. In address ing a jury in a court house Mr. Rich ard Dozier said: "Railroads are sym bols of civilization." In charging a jury in a court house Judge Shaw de livered a full and lucid exposition of the legal term "felony," closing with the well remembered words, "you all kow what stealing is." (He was addressing colored jurors.) The ter ritory between Black River and San tee River, within the county of Wil liamsburg, does not, probably, con contain the requisite number of square miles to form a new county. To make good the deficiency we must borrow from our neighbors, who, no doubt, will generously accommodate us. Berkeley and Georgetown would read ily give us their portions of the San tee River and swamp, and the State her right to a narrow strip of the At lantic Ocean. This would add a con siderable number of square miles of territory, with an abundance of wood and water for the use of the inhabit ants, such as fish, sharks, eels, cooters, gators, crawfish, coons, and pos sums; besides largely increasing the food resources, without the slightest interference in the matter of suffrage. If the Santee quota should be in sn.icie nt to complete the required area, then it might be supplied by changing the course of the Clarendon line at a point between St. Marks church and Dr. S. P. Oliver's, so as to make it follow the "nighest, highest, and driest" road to the Florence coun ty line somewhere in Salem, thus in cluding a large number of valuable citizens, and supplying a handle to the pan, corresponding to the Santee sprout. True, these citizens would be a long distance from the new court house, but they could probably learn as much in other court houses nearer Ito them, and it would be some conso lation to them to know that they were living in a county built after the fashion of some Congressional dis tricts. Ex-President Cleveland recently passed this place on his way to Cuba. While opposite the station it is esti mated that the rate of speed at which he was traveling was sufficiently slow to allow him to catch at least half a breath of air. Measles still prevail hereabouts. Rev. W. H. Workman is just recov erng from an attack of the disease. Your notioe of successful men and Itheir business operations in your coun ty is to be applauded. In a Missis sippi county paper there are frequent brief notices of business enterprises, and annually one issue is almost whol ly devoted to a full account of all the business men and places in the coun ty.

What is Scrofula It is that Impurity In the blood, which, accumu ating in the glands of the neck, produces uin sightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; whiCh developes nlcers In the eyes. ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; whichis the origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other manifestations usually ascribed to -humors.'' It is a more formidable enemy than consumption Ior cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst posible features of both. Being themiostancl10nt, it is the most general of aul diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. How can It be cured ? By taking Hood's sarsa parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself tobe a potent and peculiar medicina for this disease. For all affctions of the blood Hood's Sarsapariflals unequalled, and some of the cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula in any of Its various forms, be sure to give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial. Hood's Sarsaparilla Solbyalldroggists. S1; sixforS5. Preparedonly by C.
