THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, l889. What's the matter with the acts of the last session of the Legislature ? It has been four months since this body adjourned, and yet the acts have not been published. Somebody is to blame, and badly to blame too. These acts should be published as soon as possible, within one month after the adjournment of the Legislature; yet four months have passed and no acts yet. An explanatian is in order. Can't the Columbia Register or the Neu and Courier throw a little light on the subject? An effort was made last Saturday to organize a County Farmers' Alliance, but it proved unsuccessful from the fact that a sufficient number of sub alliances hadC2t been organized in the county. A county alliance must consist of not less than five sub-alli ances. Other sub-alliances will be or ganized as rapidly as possible, and in a short time Mr. Pettigrew will return and organize the county alliance. We believe the alliance to be a good thing, and to teach good and just principles, but unless the members go to work with a will and determination to accomplish something, they might as well join a society to grow oranges in Alaska. Work, honest work, is what the farmer must do to succeed; and work is what is needed to make the alliance a success. Let every farm er who is interested join, and join for the purpose of promoting his and his fellowman's prosperity. Then the or ganization will prove a success; oth erwise a miserable failure. Our readers are familiar with the facts; o? the; Waldrop Lynching in Pickens, in which one Manse Waldrop, a white man, was lynched by a crowd of negroes, for criminally assaulting a thirteen-year-old negro girl and there by causing her death. This was the first case in history where negroes had lynched a white man for violat ing womans chastity, and much inter est centered around the trial of those eigaged in the lynching. Two of them were found guilty and sen tenced to be hanged. Immediately petitions from every part of the State were sent to the Governor. Fifty two separate petitions signed by near ly four thousand persons, mostly white, and a number of personal let ters from prominent gentlemen, ask ing for clemency, confronted the Gov ernor with a loud demand for justice. And he has yielded, by giving them a free and full pardon. We think he has acted wisely. The negro had but done what .his more intelli gent white friend had by example taught him; and never had any pun ishment been visited upon the white man. It did seem hard to make the poor negro suffer for what the rich white man could do with impunity. No hanging 'will be done, but the influence will be greater than a hang ing coukt~have produced. Lynchers have been taught a lesson, and here after more deference will be paid the law. A pardon was given this time simply because poor ignorant negroes had done what more intelligent white men had done. But a warning has been given, and whether white or black, rich or poor, the guilty lyncher, if convicted in court, will expiate his crime on the scaffold. The pardon power was well exercised; and we 'el ve it will result in less ly aching in the future. The Governor has also commuted the sentences of Ned Criss and Thomn as Wright, of Charleston, both color ed and sentenced to be hanged, to imprisonment for life in the State penitentiary. What Occupations are "Genteel" for a 'Woman. Quite recently we heard a gentle man state that to educate a woman too highly was a mere waste of time. According to his idea, a woman was to be reared, trained, and taught to think that there was nothing honorable for hertodoinlife buttomarry. We were sorry to think that any one in this enlightened age should retain such a benighted theory; for though we be lieve that a woman's happiest and best career is past in the fulfillment of a wife's and mother's duties, still we have so often witnessed the fallacy of not educating America's daughters to support themselves-if it should be requisite to do so-that we are con vinced every woman should be taught some art or trade early in life. Geni -us of course bestows her corrusca tions upon few persons; but there isI plenty of work for the daughters of the middle classes to do, if parents will only teach them liow to prepare for the many employments that are open to them; and if the girls. them selves, when employment is at their command, will only frankly accept it and bravely work at it, instead of maundering pestilent rubbish about occupations that are not "genteel" For instance, is it not a national shame and disgrace that good cooks should be so scarce, and that well-to do people should have bitterly to com plain that their lives are made a bur den to them by that "something" which is perpetually going wrong in the kitchen-so wrong, indeed, that when especial guests are entertained, the dinner has tobe sent in from the pastry-cook's? Every mother should teach her daughter how to cook, and to cook el, then she will have one unfailing weapon against poverty, for a good cook is always in demand. A pro fessed cook is worth from two hun dred and fifty to three hundred dol lars a year; and a young lady does by accepting such a post, seeing that the cook is emphatically the Queen of the Basement; and not only her fel low-servants, but her employers-if they are sensible folk-must defer to her, for she literally "rules the roast." The faded, miserable old maid who has let the best years of her life go by while she sat with folded hands wait ing for somebody to marry her-some body who did not appear-wakes up in her old age to find herself helpless1 ! and hopeless. Perhaps the death of her father suddenly rouses her to a fact that she is passee, poverty strick en, and homeless. Terror seizes her, for "A woman's a skeery critter without a home.' Longingly this one who has wasted her best years looks upon her young er kindred who steered their bark out in the whirlpool of business life years before. With bitterness such women gaze on the busy little typewriter, stenographer, book-keeper, trained nurse, and correspondent. These girls were not reared to marry in or der to gain their livelihood; but if Cupid wings his dart at them they bravely take upon themselves the du ties of a wife, and to such marriage is seldom a failure. Which is the bet ter lot, think you? and decide for your self if a girl should not be taught some art or trade.-The Xew York Fashion Bazar for March. AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY. What pure air is to an unhealthy locality, what spring cleaning is to the neat house keeper. so is Hood's Sarsaparilla to every body, at this season. The body needs to be thoroughly renovated, the blood purified and vitalized, the germs of disease destroy ed. Scrofula, salt rheum, and all other blood disorders are cured by Hood's Sarsa parilla, the most popular and successful spring medicine. Penitentiary Notes. COLr mBIa, April 13.-West Keeler, color ed, one of the convicts received from Green ville county on the 27th of March, made a break for liberty while working on the Canal last Thursday morning and was shot by the guard. He had been convicted of larceny of live stock and only had one year to serve. The bullet entered the lefthip from the rear and made its exit through the right groin. He died to-day. Faraby Sincleton, colored, female convict who escaped from the State convict farm in Lexington county about two weeks ago and was recaptured the next day, attempted an act of fiendishness at the same place yes terday which may possibly consig. her to the gallows. When the squad were about to leave the stockade for their work in the field in the morning she secured a live coal, wrapped it in a pair of wollen stockingsand put it under the mattress of one of the beds in the stockade, where two other women were lying sick with the measles. The stock ade was locked up with the sick women in it, and but for the presence of one of the laborers on the place, who discovered the fire a short time after the guard left, they would inevitably have been burned to death. Fortunately he had presence of mind enough to break off the hasp and staple of the door with an axe, and went in and put the fire out. Jasper Partlew, a colored convict at work on the canal, committed suicide by jump ing into the Congaree river while a ball and chain were fastened to him. When brought here last Saturday he swore he would die rather than work. To-day he was rolling dirt in a wheel barrow near the edge of the ri'ver, and suddenly rushed forward and imped into the water. Eight shots were iird at him, unnecessarily however, as he sank by reason of the weight attached. The jury held an inquest and rr-urned a verdict that he was drowneC. 'hile attempting to esape. Partlew was scat here from York ville under five years sentence forlarceny of live stock. This was his se::ond term. The first time he escaped in 1878, anal remained at large eight years, arnd was pardoned the same year he was recaptured. Harmony Presbytery. [Reported for the Tmns.] Harmony Presbytery met on Friday April 12th at Mt. Zion church, Sumter connty. The opecingr sermon was preached by the Rev. W. L. Boggs, the retiring moderator. Rev. D. S. McAlister was elected moder ator, and Elder W. E. James temporary clerk. About 21 ministers and 32 elders were present. Rev. T. C. Whaling and Rev. James Mc Dowell, with Elders J. C. Coit and R. M1. Cooper, were elected delegates to attend the General Assembly which meets in M1ay, at Chattanooga, Tenn. Sumter was chosen as the place for the next meeting ef Presbytery in October next. A large crowd attended the sessions of Pres bytery each day, and the delegates were well taken care of by the good people of Mt. Zion church. Mt. Zion church is in a very fine section of country, about 8 miles from Mayesville. Local Tales of a Hundred Years Ago. Mx. Enrron:-About one hundred years ago times around Manning were very differ ent from what they are now; and as on the 30th of this month the Washington In augural Centennial will tikhe place in New York, I thought it would be well to repeat some facts with the names of the parties connected, that took place in our vicinity in those early days. On one occa'sion the British came to Mrs. Ridgill's, on Bell branch (where WV. A. Mahoney now lives), and ordered her to pre pare breakfast for them. She put every thing to cooking, and went herself to the cowpen to milk the cow. While milking Marion's men came in sight. She recognized her son John, one of the number; it seemed1 that the British also recognized them and fled, protecting themselves by the house so as to avoid a battle, and took the swamp. The breakfast was prepared for the British, but eaten by Marion's men. At another time one of Marion's men, Abin B3agnal by name, was a prisoner at Stateburg, and was informed by the guard that he was to be shot in fifteen minutes. Mr. Bagnal watching his opportunity threw his heavy hat in the guard's face and es caped, reaching his sister's house on Bear Creek (Mrs. Nancy Raffield) before daylight the next morning. This Mrs. Nancy Rai field (nlee Bagnal) was the grand mother of James C. and Win. Strange, now deceased, and the great grand mother of the Stranges of our county. The settlers at that time from Sammy Swamp to the Williamsburg line were the Ridgills, Clemons, Lloyds, Carrs, Bagnals, Davises, Dukes, Wests, Rtaflelds, Shorters. and Hiltons. Many of their descendants are now in our midst. All honor to these patriots of a hundred years ago. They worked on their farms, and provided for their families, and fought the foe when call ed upon, and at last they gained that inde pendence that will be celebrated on the 30th inst., in N'ew York.

C.. 181 Pearl st., N. Y Shakers Extract, or Seigel's Curative Syr OW !0 WE oif aU0 GRAVES? We must cat or we cannot live. This we all know. But do we all now that we die by eating ? It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. z(t it is fearfully true. We are ter rified at the approach of the cholera ad yel^: feecr,yet there is a dis ase constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in heir own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men 'nto eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watch ful, we can tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is cLange able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could sot eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and alug 'ishness of the mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat ed tongue; a sense of a load on the stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre luently attended by palpitation of the heart ; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; rands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet the most compli-. cated and myteious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis ease. But its real nature is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body-including the nervous system-is literally starved, even when there is nc emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shown that thereis put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. If never fails but. nevertheless, no time should be lost in trying other so called remedies, for they will do no good. Get this great vegetable preparation.

He began to use Shaker Extract of Roots or Sei gel's Syrup about the let of Jan. 1887, and was so much betker in three weeks that he considered him self practically a well man He adds: "I have at this time one bot tle on hand, and if I could not get any more I would not take a ten~ d'llar bill for it."
