We go to press too early Tuesday nights to make any re port.of last night's lecture, but that on Monday night sparkled with truth, wit, beauty, and metaphor. Mr. Howren's style is not always polished, nor his periods rounded, but with the force of originality I and of personal experience, he holds the attention of his audience. His subject was prohibition of accursed alcohol. He spoke not specially for the reclamation of the drink ing man and the drunkard, for, as he truly says, naught but the grace of God can save a drunkard from a dishonorable grave, but to warn the young not to touch the dam ning draught. It was the palace saloons, and enticing and alluring so-called respec table barrooms, that were a dread curse. There was no danger to the young from the low fifth class dives where everything was impure and repulsive. He' repudiated the idea of a respectable barroom, but disclaim ed any attack on the barkeepers. It was the church members who were to blame for patronizing and supporting the bars. A barkeeper was a rascal, but the drinker was a fool, without sense sufficient to keep from plunging forward to his own destruc tion. Mr. Howren was introduced by Mr. M. Clinton Galluchat, and spoke for about an hour. The church was well filled by an attentive and interested congregation. Mr. Howren is an educated, intelligent gentleman. a graduate of Emory College. He has held high political positions, and for several years past has been a rcporter for the daily newspapers. He is a reformed drunkard, and appears to be deeply ini earn est in his work. The Summerton Trial. On Saturday, the 11th of May, the case, i.S. Rush-Cole us. Julia Bradford," came up for a hearing, before Trial Justices Benbow and Mahoney, in the academy building. Mr. Rhame appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Galluchat for the defendant, the old colored woman above named, who has oc cupied the house over twenty years. The case excited considerable interest and attracted quite a crowd. Twenty-four free holders were summoned to appear as jurors. But, when the first name was called in the effort to empanel this jury, Mr. Galluchat interposed objection to the trial proceed ing, in consequence of having been brought under the wrong statute; the case presented being for "torcible entry and de detainer," when it should have been for "tenant holding over." After a somewhat prolonged discussion betwee justices, and counsel for plaintiff, the ob jection was sustained and proceedings dis missed, whichfinale sent the old woman on .her way rejoicing. A tragic and bloody memory hangs around these premises, for in this very house or yard, Mr. John William Hodge, a gallant Confederate soldier, was killed by deserters from the army; they were tracked to this fatal spot where the deed referred to was committed.

The Bank of Manning. We are requested to state that there will be a meeting of the stockholders of the Bank ofMnning, in the court house, next Wednesday morning, May 22d, at11 o'clock, for the purpose of electingofficers and a board of directors for the bank. There will be sev-en directors, a president, vice presi dent, cashier, and book-keeper. It is very important that all the stock should be rep resented at the meeting. Each share of the, stock entitles the holder to one vote. Those of the stockholders who find it impractica ble to attend the meeting in person, 'should see that their stock is represented by someI stockholder who will attend the meeting. Stockholders who will have their stock rep resented by proxy, must designate in writ ing the person to whom they confer the proxies. It is, we believe, about determined that the bank is to be a State bank. Since we published the list of stockholders $1200 more of stock has been taken as follows: L. S. Ehrich, Georgetown5 Win. M.

SvxwrON, May 13.-We are having the hottet weather for the time of year I hare ever experienced. The thermometer goes away up in the nineties evey day. Rain is very much needed to bring up the re planted cotton and for the gardens. Col. T. H. Connors, one of the oldest citizens in this section, died last Tuesday evening in his eightieth year from paralysis. Having been intimately acquainted with him for the last ten years I can say truth fully that I have never known a better man. He died as he lived, fully trusting in his Saviour, and loved and honored by his fam ily and friends. Our loss is his eternal gain. Mr. Holcomb Jones died yesterday even ing from consumption. Mr. C. M. Richardson was taken quite ill yesterday morning, but is something better this morning. Hope he will be out agamn in a few days. Wilson will very likely finish his road up into the village this week. C. Mr. B. L Gowdy's U. S. Pension Case. The Charleston Siodayj Yeics says that last Saturday in the United States District Court, Judge Simonton presiding, the only case tried was that of the Government against Benjamin L. Gowdy, of Clarendon county, on the charg of receiving more than the $25 allowed bylaw for collecting a pension claim. The case is out of the usual run of those which come up in the District Court. and the whole day was consumed in the trial. Gowdy, the defendant, is a respectable look ing white man. He was instrumental in prosecuting the p~ension claima of Mrs. Ma ry Conyers, to whom a pension was granted as widow of Stran Conyers, a soldier in the war of 1812. Gowdy eventually collected the pension, amounting toS880.63, but it was charged that hie had withheld a part of the pension in violation of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which make it unlaw ful for anyone to receive more than $25 for collecting a pension. It was charged, in other words, that the defendant had appro priated $500 of the amount paid on account of the claim, and given only $380.63 to Mrs. Cnyers. The defence admitted the receiving of the money in payment of the pens'on, and showed that Gowdy had paid the money over to Mrs. Conyers, but at the same .time had borrowed $t00 of it from her, givimg her a note for the loan. He claimed that he had since taken up the note. The jury failed to agree, however, as to the guil't of the defendant and a mistrial was ordered. Mrs. Conyers, the pensioner in the above case, has also been iniUcted by the grand ju ry for obtaining a pension under false pre tences and will be tried at the present term EIGHT PRIZES GIVEN AWAY.

A selected stock of fine cigars always on hand. AXE. A steel axe, one of the best on the mar ket,-on exhibition at H. A. Lowry's cash store, whcre the best and freshest groceries can always be had. HOW IT wnlL RH DONE. Five prominent gentlemen from different sections of the county will be requested to give away the prizes, in the following man ner: These gentlemen will place in one box a number of tickets equal to the number of paid up subscribers, all of which tickets will be blank except the eight prize tickets. They will then place in another similar box an equal number of tickets, containing the names of the paid up subscribers, one name on each ticket.. After the tickets have been carefully inspected and placed in the boxes, they will be thoroughly shaken up and mix ed together, until the committee is satisfied that everything is fair and just. Then the drawing will begin. Two little boys about four or five years old will be blindfolded, and one will draw from the box containing the names of the paid up subscribers and the other from the box containing the tick ets. The committee will at every drawing (one from each box) inspect the tickets that have been drawn and announce the result. For instance, suppose the little boys have each drawn a ticket from their respective boxes. 'The name drawn by one little boy is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawn by the other is a blank. That means Mr. A. Loseum has failed to secure a prize. The little boys draw again. The name is Lucky Fellow, and the prize ticket has sewing ma chine on it. That means Mr. L. Fellow has secured the sewing machine for his prize. The drawing will thus continue till all the prizes have been given away. This plan seems to us as fair as possible, and to have the least objections. Our sub scribers may rest satisfied that everything will be done in fairness. -rHE HOoR LIs'r. We shall publish between now and the 4th of Jaly the names of all the paid up subscribers who will be entitled to a ticket in the drawing. We are working our sub scription list to a cash basis. On the fifth day of July we sh:'ll strike off our subscrip tion list the names of all subscribers who are as much as one year in arrears. PERSONAL. We trust our friends will appreciate this enterprise on our part, and promptly pay up all their back dues and a year's subscrip tion in advance. We shall greatly appreci ate all such. 'We have just bought a large cylinder press, and it must be paid for. If our subscribers will pay up, we can pay for it; if they do not, we shall have to borrow sever al hundred dollars. Our intention is to give the people of Clarendon a good read able county paper, with -the news-from ev ery section. But with a good, lively, cash patronage we can and will work with better heart, and can get out i better paper. If you have never taken the paper, send us 50 cents, and we will send the paper for f:>ur months on trial. We want three hundred new sub scribers by the 4th of July: will we get them?

When the British landed within 30 miles of Charlestown, as it was then called, the General Assembly of South Caiolina was in session. After mak ing John Rutledge, dictator, and com missioning him to see that the "repub lic sustained no harm," they dissolved. John Rutledge (afterwards Governor of the State) issued a proclamation ordering the troops consisting of militia and all arms-bearing men throughout the country to repair to Charlestown. This produced very little effect. The people were unwilling to leave their homes and families unpro tected from the Tories. After Charles town fell, the officer of the highest rank in the State was Gen. Andrew Williamson. He was by birth a Scotchman, and his occupation was cowherd, or cow driver as he was called. He failed our people at this time. He, it was discovered, was in the pay of the British, and had a British commission in his pocket. Al though he assembled our leaders at the time, and they had every confi dence in him, he showed plainly to them at this interview that he was ready to submit; and by his influence the militia was disbanded, and dis couraged they all repaired to their homes. Our leaders found out these things on him, and be had to flee the country and take refuge with the British in Charlestown. Afterwards he was induced to become a spy in the British camp, and Marion obtain ed from him the information which permitted him often times to punish the British and Tories severely for their cruel treatment of our people. This man was very ignorant but shrewd, and passed for more than he was worth. By the surrender in Charlestown and the conduct of this unprincipled Scotchman, our "Swamp Fos" was paralyzed for a while. In a fight near Waxhaw (the birth place of Andrew Jackson) Tarleton defeated Col. Buford of the militia, giving no quarter, and five out of six of his men were brutally butchered. Tarleton himself called this "bloody business." This had a good effect on the country. "Tarleton's quarter" be came proverbial, and a spirit of re venge gave a keener edge to the mili tary resentments of the people. About this time the British dreaded Gen. Sumter, the old "Game Cock," and drove his family from and de stroyed his fine residence. At this time John Rutledge, the dictator, found it very hard to see that the "re public sustained no harm," although he found in Sumter a man equal to the emergency. The British 'om mander was suddenly aroused by this "new Richmond" in the field, as he called him, and determined to crush him. Col. Ferguson command ed the British troops, and one Hauck commanded the Tories. Sumter with less than 150 men met them and de feated and killed them both, and when their men on their knees cried for mercy they received what Tarle ton had .given Buford at the Wax haws. The British and Tories by their own acts brought this terrible punishment upon themnselvres.I Tarleton now turned his attention to Gen. Marion. He fancied at one time that he had him. Marion, how ever, baffled and eluded him at all points, and was master of the situa ion; and Tarleton finding he could accomplish nothing left and went for Gen. Sumter again. The British commander being anxious to cap ture Gen. Sumter sent Major Wemyss with 5 dragoons to push through the lines and take him dead or alive at his quarters. Wemyss was defeated, wounded through both thighs, and left in Sumter's hands. After this Marion was left entirely in charge of this section of country. Times were now hard indeed, no hard money, only Provincial scrip. The following is a copy of a ten shilling bill which is now in the hands of a good lady in our community whose forefathers were in this war: 10 South Carolina. No. 2295 10 This Bill will entitle the Bearer to the sum of ten Shillings, Currency. By order of the Provincial Congress. 15 November 1773. 10 Sh J. Booscom, MDCCLXXV R.L.LEGARE. About this time 'salt was very scarce. "Granny" Ridgeway made the trip by night to somewhere near Kingstree, and exchanged somefresh butter for 3 quarts of salt. Jeremiah Rhame, grand father of the late Capt. L. F. Rhame, had his last heifer taken by the British. He took it to heart very much because his family had been out of meat some time and to see his folly in thus depriving his family when the British could make such nice steak in his presence, and for which his appetite craved. There were few churches in this section then. As well as remembered there were only three: two Methodist ard one Baptist. Old "Taw Caw"! church near Ste-Pauls and Mulberry meeting house near where Mr. Sidn~ey McFaddin's family now resides were the Methodist churches, and a Baptist church on Bell Branch near where S. C. Williams now resides. Robt. and John Bowman were the Methodist preachers, and a Mr. Deaton the Bap tist preacher. This Mr. Deaton's wife was a very pious woman, often seen at prayer, and when her husband was away she would conduct the public worship in his place. In my next article I propose to con fine myself entirely to local matters. I will tell about some battles fought in this immedi:es vicinity, the parties who participatedl in them, the results, several marriages, the names of the contracting parties, and many other things of local interest.

We were aroused by this cry on last evening about 10 o'clock. On going out we found the tire to be in a tenement house on the Oliver lot occupied by the family of Butler Fortman. It originated from an imperfect stove flue. Very little furniture, bedding. &c., was saved. The whole town quickly ran to the rescue when the alarm sounded, but the namcs spread so rapidly it was im possible to do anything towards saving the house, and attention was at once _ directed towards the salvation of others endangered. Fortunately there was but little wind, and that was favorable, otherwise we might have had much trouble. We all remained on the spot till the flames were well nigh extin guished for want of fuel, when we retired, satisfied that all danger had passed. Our prize acre is tasseling, and if we could have a nice refreshing shower of rain, would soon be ready to invite a corn com mittee to visit this section. How does your Manning man feel now? "Foreston ain't scared." There is considerable complaint among the country farmers as to stands. The cold, wet spring kept them from their fields so long that before they could possibly get ready and plant the dry came upon them thereby preventing a good rise. Our streets and drains have been some what improved and now present a passable appearance. Quiet reigns among us, so that work for the trial justice and also the town council is quite light. Hurrah!
