THE MANNING TIMES. M nanni-ig, ill. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1889. THE MANIL CEMETERY. About a year ago, an effort was made to revive the old charter of the Manning cemetery, but except apply ing for a charter and getting the cem etery cleaned of grass and weeds, nothing was done. All interested in the cemetery are requested to meet to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon, at 5 o'clock, in the court house, when the organization will be completed. We urge every citizen of the town to attend, and hope a large number will be present. Let us look after the last resting place of our loved dead, and beautify and adorn it. FREE GRADED SCHOOL. Last Saturday about twenty persons met in the court house to discuss the practicability of a free graded school for Manning Mr. I. Bagnal was \..,.called to the chair, and several gentle men werecafled upon to address the meeting. It was thought that about half the money could be raised by means of the constitutional two mill tax, a special two mill tax, the poll tax, and the possible $300 from the Peabody fund, and that the balance would have to be made up by charg ing tuition fees. But if tuition fees are charged it will not be a free school; and the result of the meeting last Friday but confirmed what we have heretofore held, that it is impossible to sustain a public graded school in Manning, with less than an eight or ten mill tax levy. Any institution to be successful must have a financial backing. If Manning were possessed of three or four times her present wealth then we could successfully talk of a free graded school: but the talk at presentVsimplymeans an effort to establish a third school in this place which, while it will charge tui tion fees, yet by having the benefit of all the public money and an addi tional special tax, will be enabled to charge only about half the tuition fees .now charged. We caidridlysthiuk the parties who are making this effort to get a third school are taking the wrong step. It is impossible, and every sensible man will readily admit this, to run a free graded school in Manning. Then why not let these parties who are so deeply interested in establishing a pay school which shall get all the public money, do, as others interested in the schools of this place have had to do, back up their posed school with their own capi'a The proper and legitimate way to proceed, is for the parties in terestel in the new school to form a company backed up with the cash, rent their school house, hire their teachers, and come in honest compe -tition with other schools. The plan proposed is to get all the public money now given to all the schools, tax the people for almost as much more, and then with all this public pap, place their tuition fees where other schools cannot compete with them. -We desire to repeat, what we have reiterated time and again, that we are in favor of anything~that will forward -the prgreTssof lianning and Claren don; we are heartily in favor of afree -graded school for Manning, and when the time comes when one can be sup ported, we will be foremost in its es tishmnent; but we also say we do not believe in any such scheme as is now on foot. A petition is circulating for signa-1 tures to have a free giaded school in -Manning. We have given plain, un varnished facts. A free graded school cannot be established with less than an eight or ten mill tax levy. Allthe public money to one school, including a special two mifltax, simply means to let one schocoi run at very low tui tion rates, and make those who patron ize other schdols pay the same tuition fees as now. The Conneticut State Board of Ed ucation has issued a report from which it appears that illiteracy is all too fre quent in that State. Examples of ex aminnan are given which show alow state of educational comprehension among children, and inquiry has been instituted as to the cause of this con .dition. It is not difficult to fmd in the figures of salaries paid to teachers which appear in the same report. There are fifteen male teachers in the State who were paid $20 or less per month for their~ services, and sixty-six males and 360 females who received $25 or less per month. Of course nothing like the above could be said of South Carolina, though, by the way, since we come to remember, there are a few teachers in Clarendon who get much less than twenty dollars, and are well paid too. -Both branches of the Minnesota Legislature have passed a bill making drunkenness a crime, and it now awaits the Governor's signature. The penalties prescribed are severe enough to take away the element of indiffer ence and are, for first offence, a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $40, or imprisonment for not less than 10 nor more than 40 days; second of fence $30 to $40 fine, or 30 to 60 days' imprisonment; third offence 60 to 90 days' imprisonment. A prominent member of the South Carolina Conference suggests that Dr. A. Coke Smith write a life of the late 'Bishop Wightmnan. A splendid sug gestion. We hope Dr. Smith will consent to do so. Reader, we shall very shortly pub lish an honor list, the names of those whose subscription is paid up and who are entitled to tickets for our gift dis tribution. Will your name be on the DAVE TUCKER. His and Beckey's Sad and PainfulExperi ence in Monkeying With a Swarm of Bees. I don't like bees; neither does Beckey. I don't think I shall like honey in the near future, and have already banished pan cakes and honey from the cuisine of my table. I once liked peach and honey, but long since quit that when on one occasion after hav ing partaken of a glass of it I went to bed with my boots on and didn't know how it came about. Beckey says she knows very well, and the next time it occurs I'll have to sleep in the barn. I don't think I'll let it occur again. Bees are a small insect with a yaller striped tail down their backs. They are governed by a monarchy, and their king is a queen. In disposition they are very erratic, and generally attend strictly to business, at least their business end does, and in rather a painful way. Their chief business seems to get mad and make honey which they steal from flowers in other people's gardens. When one gets mad he flies on you, does something, and then you jump, holler, and run home. They are said to be a very useful domestic animal, but it will require. undoubted proof for me to believe this. At this moment I am of the opinion that bees are an unmitigated nuisance. I may, however, change my opinion with the soothing influ ences of time, and as soon as my swelled head and shut-up eyes get well. Beckey is better, and says she hopes to survive. We have already used up two bottles of magic balsam, and by persevering in it we hope to recover, but the memory of the occur rence stings us yet. This is how it happened: This spring I concluded to raise some bees, and bought two swarms from old man Floyd. He delivered them to me, praised them up to the skies, and said "that from them I could get two other colonies, and in a year or two I would have as many as I could attend to." I thought it a fine thing to have them about, as their industry would be an example to be followed by my house hold, and stir up things generally, and they did stirup thingsso far as Beckey and myself were concerned. Matters seemed to have gore on smoothly with the bees until last week, when a large swarm which ap peared to be dissatisfied with their house, came out from one of the hives, and proceeded to emigrate. I had been told that in order to prevent their roving disposition I must make a noise to cause them to settle on some object. We got up a lot of tin pans and horns and if ever bedlam was let loose we had it. They soon settled under the eaves of the cow shed; and to get them in a new gum I had ready, was the question. I sent over for nabor Gardner, and he told me it was easy enough: "Just get up on the shed over them, and give the shingles a smart blow, and they would all fall on the gum." (I had placed one on a table right under them.) "That there was no harm in bees if you are not afraid of them." I was skeptical as to whether or not the bees would know when the afraid part would take place, for I was dubi ous all the time and would have sold the whole lot at half price, and thought I had made a good bargain. However, I told Beckey to stand near by to help, and I got on a step ladder and got on the shed which was pretty steep, in my stocking feet. I moved very cautiously to the eaves, and when just over the swarm I raised the hatchet to give the blow which would make me master of the situa tion, when something happened, and like a streak of greased lightxiing I slid off the shed on the gum smashing the table. In my rapid descent I had grabed the bunch of bees and carried them along too. I presume they must have been in a mad state, for before I could get out of the tanglement I was in they had stung me from Dan to Beersheba and back again. They popped Beckey good too before she could holler, and soon they got all mixed up in her long hair, and for an hour afterwards every now and then she would grasp her head in both hands and cry, "Mercy me!" "Did I ever!" For once I have enjoyed the luxury of having short hair, close cropped. Therefore under the circumstances I will now reiterate'on behalf of my self and Beckey that neither of us are passionately fond of bees, nor honey likewise, and notice is hereby given that there are two stray hives in our back yard to be given away.

[ Watchman and Southron.] The city council is negotiating with Mr. Olliver who owns a boring machine, look ing to the sinking of an artesian well this summer. Mr. C. T. Player, of Shiloh, died on the 27th of April ult., and was buried at Shiloh &Iethodist church. Mr. Player was 72 years old and bad lived a remarkably energetic and useful life. Col. F. Gardiner, chief engineer, and Mr. R. J. Latta, engineer, assisted by Captain Harker, Mr. Paul Smith and ten hands will to-morrow begin the survey of the ('oast Line Extension to be built from this city to Camden. Master Tom Flowers was bitten on the heel this morning by a water-rattlesnake. The wound was promptly sucked by his brother Hampton, and the swelling is not very great. At this writing Master Tom is uproariously drunk-the first time he has ever exhibited a tendency to dissipation and probably the last, unless another snake bites him. Mr. R. L. McLeod, Jr., of Swimming Pens, lost his residence by fire about mid day on Monday. He married a daughter of the late Mr. J. W. Rembert, and occupied the old Rembert mansion. The smoke house and provisions and nearly all the furniture of the dwelling were destroyed. No insurance. The fire caught from a cook ing stove. Last week, a package of the Watchman and Southron, destined for Shiloh, in this county, went astray, and the direction was torn off. The package was returned for di rection and every paper was marked "Mis Sint." It is presumable that the swarthy railway clerk intended "Missent." Men of intelligence and undoubted capacity have been supplanted by scholars who sup pose that the above written expression is English. "Mis Sint" is about as conclusive an argument in favor of the Solid South as we have ever read. CONVINCING PROOF. In many instances it has been proven that B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm), .made by Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood poison in its worse phases, even when all other treatment fails. A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I had 24 running ulcers on one leg and 6 on the otherand felt greatly prostrated. I be lieve I actually swallowed a barrel of medi cine, in vain efforts to cure the disease. With little hope I finally acted on the urgent advice of a friend, and got a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a change, and my despondency was somewhat dispelled. I kept using it until I had taken sixteen bottles, and all the ulcers, rheumatism, and all other horrors of blood poison have dis appeared, and at last I am sound and well again, after an experience of twenty years of torture." Robt. Ward, Maxey, Ga., writes: "My disease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood poison. My face, head, and shoul ders were a mass of corruption, and finally the disease began eating my skull benes. My bones ached; my kidneys were deranged; I lost flesh and strength and life became a burden. All said I must surely die, but nevertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounced well. Hun dreds of scars can now be seen on me. I have now been well over twelve months." Consult Your Wife. Two gentlemen were talking about a busi ness enterprise, in which though it involved some pecuniary risk, they were strongly in ,lined to embark. Finally one of them re marked; "I must consult my wife before I decide." "Why!" exclaimed the other, "is she boss?" "No," was the calm reply, "neither am I. We are a well matched team; and we don't Irive tandem. My wife is as much inter isted in the welfare of our family as I, and she has a right to have a voice in the invest nent of our little property." There is nothing more than justice in this iew of matrimonial obligation, especially n the case of poor. or only moderately well odo families-and these comprise an over ~hemingly large proportion of the families n this country-where a sliget-increase or liminution of the annual earnings would be felt alike by every member. She wife who has labored in the home to earn or1 ave, while the husband has labored in the elad, the shop, or the counting-room, is nstly a partner in his earnings and their savings, and should share in all his plans of lisposing of their small accumulations, so s to make them more productive if all goes vell. There is more catarrh in this section o the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was spposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, md prescribed local remedies, and by con tantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven atarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. al's catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only ionstitutional cure on the market. It is taken internlly in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood md mucus surface of the system. They of rer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circularsand testimonials. A~ddress, F. 3.

In answer to the vague fear that the edu ation of the negro will promote "social equality," Dr. Haygood makes a statement which, if once thoroughly impressed upon the Southern white people, would settle so much of the Southern question that the rest would settle itself: "There never was in this world, in any nation or community, such a thing as social equality, and there never will be. The social spheres arrange themselves to suit themselves, and no laws promulgated by State or Church will change the social afiinities and natural selections of men. Men choose the circles for which they have aflinity, seek the companionships they prefer, and find the places that are suited to them. * * Everywhere and rorever the right thing is the politic thing."

The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkble event is treasured in the memo ryand ;he agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic.
