TMANING TIMES a yrnn -rng, S. O S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1889. FREE GRADED SCHOOL. Our reason in saying that we did not think the time had come for a free graded school is because we know it is impossible to have one supported by public funds, and because we do not believe there are men enough in Manning, who will put their hands in their pockets and say, "Let's have the school, the free school; collect what is possible from the public, and we will make good the deficiency. And let the school be open alike to all the children." If we are to have a free school, we say have one, and not a half-way one. Let the tax levy be ten mill,, and then it will be free alike to all. We claim that a four mill tax is but a plan to help those able to pay their own tuition, and of little good to the poor children. It would be about all that some people could do to furnish books and 'eitable clothing the year round for their children. Could these also afford to pay half tuition fees? Not one word that has been said or written on the subject has refuted a single g!ument of ours, by showing that it is practicable to have a free graded school. We expect, neverthe less, that the few who meet to vote on this tax, will vote to impose it, but that will not give a free graded school, nor will it, we candidly be Slieve, be for the public good. Since the above was put in type, a unication in another column attention to the fact that it is 'ble this year to take a vote on ublic graded school question, as have neglected to call a for this purpose. The law requi the trustees to publish such a notice two weeks in a newspaper, or to post the notice in three conspicu ous places in the school district. Such notices should have been pub lished or posted prior to May 18th; otherwise the tax cannot be collect as convened last Monday morning at 9 o'clock, W. H. Wallace, presiding judge.

The Centennial Sherman flag inci dent has by this time passed out of the minds of those who read about it, the great Anerican public being noted for forgetting a sensation of the kind in less than four days, or -half the traditional "nine days.'' But it was recalled yesterday in a peculiar way by a gentleman who had the honor of fighting under the Stars and Stripes on the soil of Mexico, and who was rather disgusted at the remarks of Gen. Sherman anent the South Caro lina troops at the New York Centen nial celebration. The gentleman is well known in Charleston. He has served in several wars, including "the Rebellion" and the Mexican war, and in his declining days there is no more devoted American citizen than he, al though he was "a rebel." He was talking with one or two ex-rebels and Ex-Mexican war veterans when a Re porter for the Keu-s and Courier, who is also an ex-rebel of tender years, happened to join the group. "The great barn burner and bum mer chief," said this ancient soldier, as he pulled out a faded bandana of1 the Jacksonian era and mopped his' silver beard, "ought to read up a little of the history of his country. There are men who fought for the Union } when Sherman was in Knickerbock ers. Let me tell you one thing. I don't know where Sherman was in the days of '48 and thereabouts, but I know that when men were wanted j at the front down in Mexico there was a regiment of South Carolinians there, and they did good service, though I say it who shouldn't. The Palmetto regiment managed to do some good service in Mexico, although they fought under the Palmetto flag. As a matter of fact, we didn't see the Stars and Stripes from the time we left Charleston until we entered the city of Mexico. I don't exactly know whose fault it was, if anybody was to blame, but in those days we didn't think it necessary for a man to wear a United States flag on his coat sleeve to prove his loyalty to his country pro vided he proved it by fighting. Nor was it regarded necessary to prove one's loyalty to the flag by burning barns, destroying homesteads and hanging negroes up to the limbs of trees to make them tell where the 'family silver' was hidden. "No, the Palmetto regiment n t tars and Stripes ver theless they were generally ound at the front, and that too at times when other troops who had the Stars and Stripes were a mile or two in the rear. Let me give you an incident which can be verified by the history of the Mexican war. "As I have already said, the Pal metto regiment, which served through that war, didn't carry the Stars and Stripes. Exactly why they didn't I don't know-but they didn't. They bad a plain Palmetto flag presented to them ~just before they went to the front. A~t Chapultepee there was a hitch somewhere. I don't want to say who is to blame, but the troops who were at the front, and who had the Stars and Stripes with them. Ad mov o ~~iiplv .ne com movein o as gpf,".aSo that of manin odedto Gladden to move .~~net-the Palmetto-to the front and to storm the walls. The order was given and the 'armed mob,' with the Palmetto flag at its head, marched up, passed the advance troswowere lying in the trenches wit he andars and Stripes, and with a elada rush captured the fortress and planted the Palmetto flag on its batlements. The troops with the Stars and Stripes came up later. Then we pushed forward to the City of Mexico, leaving the Stars and Stripes, which had come up later, flying over Chapultepec. "The Palmetto regiment were in advance when the City of Mexico sur rendered, and I remember well the incident. Gen. Quitman, who weas in command, called upon us for the national colors. We didn't have them. He was told that they had been left behind at Chapultepec. I was there at the time with our old Palmetto flag, and said to him that the only national flag we had had been left behind at Chapultepec. 'Here,' said I, 'is the Palmetto flag, and I expect it will do till you can get the national colors.' eGeneral took the flag and planted the walls. It was the first flag aved over the City of Mexic its capture. 'This is history. You'll ad it in he Congressional Reco , I expect, fI remember th .a something was aid about it i' ngesathti. makesr ameasikwhIi herSherman talking about the old flag because a parcel of boys who went to New York on a picnic hap pened not to have a national flag. The people of South Carolina attempted a departure in 1861, it is true, but they have a right to be back in the~Union which they fought for-and fought against, it is true-and for which they have now as great a love and loy alty-yes, and perhaps a greater than Sherman or any of his ilk. South Carolinians fought for the Union in 1776, and in 1812 and 1848, and on other occasions, and they didn't need the Stars and Stripes to stir up their courage, either. They were beaten in 1861-65, and were men enough to; own up to it. If their services are needed to defend the Union, which their ancestors helped to form, you'll. find them in the front rank, even though they don't happen to have the ational colors pinned to their coats. The proof of the pudding is always in the eating. We upheld the nation ral honor at Fort Moultrie in 1776 and mexico in 1848, and on a good, mr occasions, without having the St d Stripes to keep up our courage, an reckon if the pinch comes again you ~ l find that we'll* be on hand again.

Buy BILL ARP ON COW PEAS. Every Farmer Should Sow Cow Peas Whenever He has Land to Spare. If I were an old-fashioned almanac maker I would fill up the spaces of three summer months with such ad vice as, "Sow peas-aw more peas;" "About this time sow cow peas;" "As soon as your wheat is harvested, sow peas upon the laud;" "Follow your oats with peas;" "Sow peas between your corn rows when you lay by your corn;" "Sow lots of peas." Peas are better than clover, or grass, or anything, better for the land and better as a profitable crop. I have unbounded respect for peas. I sow about five acres every year for forage, and they make the best forage in the world-the best for horses and mules, and the best for milch cows. All kinds of stock eat it greedily. I have seen old-fashioned farmers pull peavines up by the roots and hang them on the fence to cure. The com mon idea is that pea-vine hay is hard to harvest and hard to cure. This is a great mistake. Sow them with a drill or broadcast-say two bushels to the acre; when the pods are nearly grown, and the peas are in the dough, walk right into them with a scythe blade and cut an acre a day-any good mower can do it easily, for it is the sweetest cutting in the world. Let them lie as they fall for twenty-four hours; rake into wind-rows, and let them alone for two days more. If it rains on them, just let it rain; when the sun shines again, toss them up and give them air, and they will cure. I have had them take several rains, and lie upon the ground for a week, and cure all right; plenty of air is all they want. Put them in the barn and watch them for a day or so to see if they are moulding or getting hot; if they are, then toss them to the other side of the barn, and the tossing and airing will bring them all right. I have never lost a pea-vine crop. But be sure and cut before the pods get ripe, or you will lose the leaves. Cut green, and not a leaf will drop, and the vines will cure so much easier. Now for a little philosophy. Pea vines make a quick and dense shade, and shade is dame nature's great re storer. Just as soon as the wheat or oats are removed, nature sends up the grass or the weeds right away to shade the exposed ground, to shield it from the burning sun. Peas are better than either, both as shade and food. Shade produces plant A canebrake would seem to ust the land from its dense, lux uriant growth, but it enriches it. The shade of a canebrake is impenetrable. I cleared up an acre of canebrake and planted it in corn and made 125 bush els. Brier patches are a dense and luxuriant growth, and they make the land rich. Just so with the growth that always comes in the corners of the old fences. Remove the fences, and you have rich, fertile soil. Take down an old house or barn, and the soil underneath is equal to a cane brake. Plant a grape vine by the veranda, and the roots will run under the house and feast upon the nitrogen that the shade has made. Put down; some old planks between your straw berry rows, and see how soon the roots will take refsuge t~xarsa-M - ni'Zh p As:.1L Even the stones -e shade that gives nourishment to plsants. Of course there is no plant food in a stone or a rock, but see how vines and trees grow near to stone; walls and piles of rock. The falling leaves that cover the ground do more from their shade to preserve it than from the plant-food that is in a dead: leaf. See how quickly potatoes will' sprout in a dark cellar. Night, dark night, is the universal restorer of all vegetation-the generator of plant food. Some farmers sow peas and turn the green crop under. They lose the hay and do the land no good. Pea-vine hay is easy to bale, and, where its value is known brings the highest price. Two men and one mule can press forty bales in a day in. a home made press. Four tons is a~ fair crop on average land, and I have. sold it at $20 per ton. Then sow peas; keep on sowing peas. Sow a running pea that will grow rank and fall down! if it wants to. The scythe-blade will! get them better than a mower. Then sow peas early and late; sow more peas. CONSULMPTION URL ' I(ED.

Jones, the Atlanta detective, who has been here for sev eral weeks working up the incendiary are in the Wolfe building on Russell street, last week sued out warrants of irrest against Messrs. H. S. Cunning ham, editor of the .Spectator, and J. W. Caston, late foreman of that jour nal, charging them with being the in cendiaries. The case was carried before Trial Justice I. W. Bowman, who, after a careful and impartial hearing of the testimony, which was entirely of a circumstantial character, there being nothing adduced to con vect either of the accused with the fendish act, dismissed the case for the want of sufficient testimony. The detective, in his testimony, said he came here a stranger and after surveying the field he formulated ave theories, which for convenience we will number in the order in which be said he dismissed them: First, there were two papers here, and this theory lead him to suspect the editor of the Times and Democrat, but, after investigating this theory a short time and finding nothing in it, he dismissed it, and proceeded to take up theory No. 2, which brought in the Albrecht boys from the fact that Mr. Z. M. Wolfe had in a personal difficulty unfortunately killed their father. After investigating this theory he also dismissed it, and took up the ory No. 3, which caused him to sus pect Messrs. W. B. Howell and Paul D. Davis, because they were not on good terms with Mr. Wolfe. After a short investigation, this theory was also abandoned like the other two, and he proceeded to investigate theory No. 4, which involved Mr. Z. M. Wolfe, the owner of the building. This theory, together with theory No. 5, which involved the gentlemen ar rested, Messrs. Cunningham and Cas ton, who occupied the house, he gave considerable attention to, investigat ing both theories fully, and finally settled on Messrs. Cunningham and Caston as the guilty parties, and had them arrested, as above stated. Before persons are arrested and charged with serious crime as in this case the proof of their guilt should be pretty well established, and the testimony should be at least strong enough to bind them over on an ex parte hearing of the case before pro ceedings are commenced. Otherwise a great wrong may be done. The odname of a man is very precious to him, a 'o.otbe$ .'r ea by his being charged with crime on frivolous and insufficient testimony. We would like to see the fiend who set this fire caught and punished, but we would rather see a thousand incendiaries escape than to have one an's good name brought into ques tion unjustly.-Orangeburg Times and Democrat.

B., (Botanic Blood Balmn), made by Blood Balm Co., Atlantas 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 other, and felt greatly prostrated. I be lieve I actually swallowed a barrel of medi ine, 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 ippeared, and at last I am sound and well gain, after an experience of twenty years :>f torture." Robt. Ward, Maxey, Ga., writes: "My lisease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood poison. My face, head, and shoul hers were a mass of corruption, and finally :he disease began eating my skull bones. SIy bones ached; my kidneys were deranged; lost flesh and strength and life became a mrden. All said I must surely die, but ievertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounced well.
