Mr. Howren's Leetmre.
Mr. Henry D. Howren lectured' in
the Methodist church Monday night and
last night. 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. Bird, Charleston5
J. F. Bradhamn, Clarendon 2
It will soon be too late to get stock, as it
wilibe all taken.

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

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

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?

Local Tales of a Hundred Years Ago.
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.

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.

Dols from Foreston.
FoRESTON, May 13.--Fire! Fire! Fire! 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! More subscriptions for
