It is reported that frost fell in sev eral counties in the upper part of the State last week. Fires were very comfortable in Manning. Who will bring the first watermelon to this office? We hope our farmers are raising some fine ones, and we would like to sample a few of them. -The recent rains have done much good, and crops all over the county are looking remarkably well. There is afineprospect for a large crop this year. We have received many pleasant calls the past 'week, from friends iir all parts of the county. We are a] ways pleased to have our friends call to see us. In times past Clarendon county had a reputation somewhat akin to Edgefield, Lancaster, and Abbeville, but now the sweet hand of peace seems gently to control the destinies of our people, and harmony, and pleasantness to govern their inter course. May it ever be thus. It is said that there is a young la dy in this county who is engaged to two young men, each of whom has given her a diamond engagement ring. Possibly she may wait till one fellow dies, and then marry the other fellow, thus being able to keep both rings. Girls should not ought to flirt. -Last evening our office was be sieged, as it were, by a crowd of young ladies and gentlemen, who came in to see the new press. But, best of all, they brought with them ice cream and cake for the entire force. We enjoyed it, oh so much, and Knight will for nights dream of visions of beauty and loveliness. Our thanks especially to Misses Nannie Reaves and Maggie Windham. A Ghoulish Act. Jonas Nelson, a colored man, had a preliminary hearing last Monday be fore Trial Justice Benbow, on a charge of disturbing religious wor sip. It seems that last Sunday while a grand child of this negro was being buried, on Mr. W. M. Plowden's plan tation, Jonas, who was present and had been a silent spectator during the the burial service up to the time the. coffin had been lowered into the grave, stepped forward, and jumped into the grave, snatched the coffin from its place, threw it out, and then jump ing out the grave himself, picked up the coffin, put it on his shoulder, and walked off The bystanders were so greatly horrified that no one attempt ed to stop him. The child had been dead about thirty-six hours, and de composition had set in; and as Jonas walked off, the water trickled out of the coffin, down his clothing. It is not known where he carried the child, as no one followed him. He claims that after the crowd had dispersed, upon being remonstrated with by some of his friends he returned alone to the grave, and buried the child. He also claims, as his reason for thus acting, that he had not been treated with proper respect by the mother of the child, in being promptly notified of the death and time and place of burial. Jonas is represented as being a very dangerous negro, and all at the burial were afraid to interfere or make any resistance. At the prelim inary he acknowledged his guilt, said he was not drunk, but was overpow ered with passion. The Trial Justice committed him to jail in default of $300 bail, to await his trial at the next term of court. This is cne of the most peculiar and remarkable cases on record in any civilized country. Somebody is going to get some handsome presents on the Fourth of July. What better present could we give than a beautiful sewing machine? But we have seven other excellent gifts also. George Washington Broadway. Mr. G. W. Broadway died at his home near Packsville yesterday morn ing, in the sixty-third year of his age. He had been suffering with typhoid dysentey for about three weeks, but died from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Broadway was a prominent and suc cessful farmer, and a man of influence in his neighborhood. During the war, he was quartermaster in Capt. Skin ner's company. Mr. Broadway was a member of Calvary Baptist church. He will be buried at the Pack family burying ground this- morning at 10 'clock. Loves the Old County Yet. c"Occasional" has so many friends in this county that we know he will pardon the liberty we take in publish ing a part of a letter we received from im last night: "I have not found Colleton quite as backwoodsy as it is reported to be. I am located near the Edisto, a beauti-. ful stream abounding in fish. There are some lovely picnic haunts with 1 beautifully shaded grassy banks at 4df iton either side. The birds are more eanul and seem to sing sweeter than those in Clarendon, but I don't think there is a county in the State that can ex-' cel Clarendon in. the grace, beauty, and cleverness of her maidens. "I am well pleased with my finan cial outlook, but I will have to return to Panola, Calvary, and Fulton, to get an occasional peep at those lovely beings whose remembrance some times thrilled my old quill with pleasure while writing up some dance or picnic for the TiES." Let's Have a Town Council Report. Mn. Enrroz:-Your editorial on the town council meets with general com mendation, and I am glad that you have brought this matter-to the pub lic notice. Public office being a pub li trust each and every officer, be he great or small, should be held to a strict accountabiity for his actings and doings, and let not the town offi cers be an exception to this->gesperal rule. Every officer of the county Ts required, under pain of penalties, to render monthly reports of his re ceipts and disbursements, and yet the town council withholds that informa ion from those who placed them in office. I agree with you fully, that whilst there is not the slightest suspicion as to their official honesty yet all the citizens would like to see an itemized statement of their re ceipts and disbursements. You, Mr. Editor, as a faithful watchman upon the tower, having given the right sound, should hear the plaudit "well done," and being thus encouraged, .I hope you will not become weary in well-doing. . OmnzFN. YANNIG, S. 0., June 3d, 1889. Free Graded School for Sumter. SrrrER, May 31.-At a meeting of citi zens held yesterday afternoon at the Opera House it was unanimously resolved to au thorize the city council to levy and collect an additional t'ax of two mills for the pur pose of establishing and defraying the ex penses ofagraded school, to open some tminSept ember next. Sumter has long needed a good school for boys. Many per sons have sent their sons away to be e du cated as soon as they attained the age of 12 or 15 because they did not consider our Ischools calculated to advance boys above that age. In the Act of the Legislature underI which the Sumter graded school will be es tablished the power is given to graduate and issue diplomas which will entitle the "raduates to teach in the' public schools of he State. Now our boys can be kept at home andeducated under the watchful eyesl of their parents and surrounded by happy home influences. The school commission Iers ae. The mayor. Dr. J. A. Mood, the Rev John Kershaw, the Rev. C. C. Brownj and the Hon. Alt Moses. It is hoped tat these estimable gentlemen in their manage ment of the school will give to our boys as good advantages as our girls enjoy in the several institutions here devoted to their education.-Ketes mud Courier. The Manning Corn Man Heard Front. Mn. Enrron:-Really it seems as if there isome gentleman in Foreston who is anxious to hear from your man in Manning. and to kill his thirsting anxiety will state to the gentleman that I still inhabit the land of the living, and am well pleased with his description of his priae corn, and es pecially with his glorious expectations. I noticed where he expects to get from three to five ears from a stalk, two shoots and an ear on the top, and as for the tassel he ex pects to get a quart from that. I hope the public will excuse the gentleman's state ment, as it sounds very much like an anec dote made up on a rabbit, and the majority of such men, as a general thing, slip up in .4gas oil while establishing their infinite esti A Pleasant Visit to Greeleyville. MR. Enrro:-A few days ago in company with twidower I took a trip to the historic Greeleyville, Williams burg county. I was delighted to see so many evidences of prosperity. Where once stood the little pine huts, now may be seen palatial residences, fit for the habitation of any one. These evidences of thrift and go aheaditiveness is in a great measure attributable to the indomitable ener gy of Mr. Samuel J. Taylor, than whom no more genial, hospitable gentleman can be found. Crops in the immediate vicinity though need ing rain gave evidence of an abun dant harvest. Without making individious dis tinction I must say that my friend, Dr. J. MI. B.'s, crop far surpassed any that I saw. Cotton very fine, and in fine con.dition, needing only the show ers (which it has since had) to push it on to maturity. Corn, equal if not superior to any I saw. Mr. Editor, if you wish to spend a few pleasant days just visit. that christian home where Dr. and Mrs. B. preside, and around whom have grown up to blushing maidenhood and manhood, their children, who are kind, obedi dient, respectful, intelligent, vivacious, and loquacious. Although the blight ing touch of disease has greatly im paired his physical man, impeding the power of locomotion, which pre rents him from meeting his visiting riends beyond the portals, yet after :rossing the threshold you will find a big, warm welcome, and a generous and unstinted hospitality extended. His mental powers are all intact, and you will ind him ready to impart in formation upon any subject which nay be broached. There too stands the altar, long since erected, upon hhich the fire has never been allowed to go out, where the morning and ,vening sacrifice is offered in grateful reognition of the superintending :are of Him, whose hand has led him dl along life's slippery pathway. A visit, Mr. Editor, will cause you co exclaim, like the queen of Sheba, 'The half has not been told," and, 'Re your correspondent, "It was good :o be there." The widower was left to enjoy the pleasure of a widowed home, where e trust he found solace and comfort .or his lacerated and bleeding heart. P. G. B. Manning, S. C., June 3rd, 1889. To Delinquent Subscribers. From business principles and 'rom past experience in the news paper business, we are fully con inced that the indiscriminate ;redit system is very pernicious .n its effects. THE MAsING TDiEs ill consequently, after July 4th,; >e run on a cash basis, or very hort credit. On July 5th, 1889, inless satisfactory arrangements iave been previously made, the iames of all subscribers who are n arrears as far back as March 1,! [888, will be stricken from our ist. We have about a hundred uch names, and while '.e dislike 'eymuch the idea of losing so many s s rather lose them than run e rnsk >f losing three or four times as nany hundred dollars. If the rDES is worth anything it is worth $1.50 a year; and any per ion who during the year's time ~annot pay this small sum had best not take the paper at all. We are endeavering to publish a good, readable, lively paper. If you think we are worthy of being sustained in our effort, pay us the small sum you owe us; if not, we shall be compelled to discontinue the paper to your address after July 4th. After July 4th, 1889, all sub iribers to T i~-Ms.NG TDIES, whare-i arrears for more than sixteen months ($2) will cease to receive the -TIES. Don't you think it would be fair and just to pay us this balance now, when we need it so much? Su'mter News. [ Watchmafl'and Southron, May 29th.) Er hame left Saturday for Chica go to *tend the meeting of the Rt. W. G. Laode 1. 0. G. T. of the World. Mr. H. L. B. Wells has a letter from the United Cottonseed Oil Comnp any saying that sn agent of the company will probably come to Sumter shortly to see him in relation to locating an oil mill here. Capt. Atkins, of Mayesville, thinks the best cotton bagging can be made from a warp of cotton and a filling of pine straw or moss fiber. He is prepared to put in machinery for the manufacture of cotton or fiber bagging so soon as he is assured of a market. About 700 excursionists from Charleston, principally negroes, spent Monday in the city, and appeared to enjoy themselves hugely. There was very little disorder, but we did see one darky about 7 feet high try ing to compose himself for a nap on the top of a beer crate. In the court of sessions, this week, the State vs. P. G. Bowman, assault and battery and carrying concealed weapons, a sealed sentence was opened and a check for $300 was immediately given to the Clerk in pay ment of the fine. The docket is now clear of all cases arising out of the Keels-Bowman difficulty. Mr. J. J. Moses, our youthful but efficient chief of police, is off duty, but unlike the picket of the Rhappahannock, he is not "off duty forever." Mr. Moses had his name changed yesterday to J. J. Harby, and left this morning for Sheffield, Ala. He has a leave of absence for tea days, but it is probable that he will resign his position to accept one in the South-west. Should this occur we wish for him the largest possible measure of success in his new field of en deivor. Last Thursday afternoon a negro was found under a counter in the store of Mr. W. H. Yates. In his pocket were found several articles which he had already pur loined from the showcase, and he was put in the guard house. His mother came down and asked that the matter be settled by giving the lad a whipping. Policeman Command er was chosen executioner with the under standing that he should be limited to 25 blows. When the fifteenth fell, Cuffy in voked the echoes of guard, house lot to ex claim: "Fo gawd boss, I kaict 'stain dis. Hum much mo'?" Ten more, s'aid the po liceman, and as the strap rose, the victim called out: "Hole on, white man. I gie yer five dollars fer dem licks." But the police man would not trade, and it is safe to say that Cuffy will never again require punish-. The Honor List. I We begin this week the publication of the names of our paid up subscribers, each of whom will be entitled to a ticket to our Fourth of July Grand Gift Distribution. One striking feature is shown by this pub lication, that the people of this county are not in the habit of paying in advance for their paper. As an ordinary thing less that ten per cent. of the newspaper subscribers in Clarendon county pay in advance, and about one third never pay. After July 5th we shall drop from our list the third that never pay. We have on our list to-day more paid-up-in-advance subscribers than we ever had before, since being in the newspaper business. We shall publish the next batch of names in a week or two. R. R. Hudgins, N. H. Boliada'y, J. A. M. Cannon, J. D. Holladay, Dr. J. M. Burgess, D. T. Legg, R. M. Thompson, Dr S C C Richardson, J.

The more sensitive nature of the female sex renders women much more susceptible than men to those numerous ills which spring from lack of harmony in the system. The nervous system gives way, sick head ache is frequent, the appetite is lost, and other ailments peculiar to the sex cause great suffering. Hood's Sarsaparilla is pe culiarly adapted for such cases, and has re ceived the most gratifying praise for the re lief it has afforded thousands of women whose very existence before taking it, was only misery. It strengthens the nerves, cures sick headache and indigestion, puri fies and vitalizes the blood, and gives regu lar and healthy action to every organ in the body. Sample Copy-Free. We send out a number of copies of the Tnms this weekfree. Read it and if you like it send us the subscription price, and get it regularly.

Jonxss-ows, Pa., June 2.-A slide, a se ies of frightful tges from side to side, a un. and you had crossed the narrow rope ridge which spanned the chasm dug by he waters between the stone bridge and ohnstown. Crossing the bridge was an xciting task. Yet many women accom lished it rather than remain in John Lhe bridge pitched like a ship in as. iithin two inches of yor.a'ruw the ogady waters.iwVnemaugh. There wererT.a '~ to easily guide, and creeping was more convenient than walking. One had to cross the Coneemaugh at a second point in order to reach Johnstown proper. This was accomplished by a skiff ferry. The ferryman clung to the rope - and pulled the boat over. After landing one walks across the desolate sea of mud, in which there are interred the re ins of many human bod ies. It was o~ a handsome portion of town. The cellars are filled up with mud, so that a person who has never seen the city can hardly imagine that houses ever stood where they did. Four streets solidly built up with houses have been swept away. Nothing but a small two-story frame house remains. It was near the edge of the wave, and thus escaped. One side was taken up and it hangs to one side, making a picture of misery. The walk up to the wrecks of the iouses was interrupted in mauy places by small branch streams. Occasionally across the fiats could be seen the remains of a victim. The stench arising from the mud is sickening to the extreme degree. Along the route were strewn tin utensils, iron pipes, wares of every conceivable kind of stre. In the midst of the wreck a clothing store dummy with its hand in the position of'beckoning to a person stands creet and uninjured. The artist had succeeded in outlining a distorted grin, but it now has a smile of fiendish mockery. It is impossi ble to describe the appearance of Main street. Whole houses have been swept down this one street and become lodged. The wreck is piled as high as the strend story windows, and the reporter could step from the wreck into the auditorium of the Opera House. The ruins consist of parts of houses, trees, logs and reeds from the wire factory. Many houses have their side walls and roofs torn up, and you can walk directly into what had been the second story bed rooms, or go in by way of the top. Further up town a raft of logs lodged in the streets and did much damage. The best description that can be given of the general appearance of the wreck is to imag ine a number of children's blocks placed closely together and draw your hand through them in almost every direction. Cancer is a form of blood poison which is not understood by the medical profession as to its real nature and character, but is evidently hereditary in its na ture. It may accidentally develop itself without any predisposition or evidence of such existing poison. The knife or caustic salves have heretofore been the so-called remedies for it, but all honest practitioners will tell you that this treatment fails to cure, and only hastens fatal results. Thous ands of cases of epithelioma (skin) cancers, and a great many cases of scirrhus cancers, have been entirely cured by the use of Swift's Specific. It forces the poison out through the cancer itself, and the pores of the skin. My father had cancer; my husband also had cancer, in fact died with it. In 1875 a lump came on my nose, which steadily increased in size, and alarmed me. I used various reme dies-salves and other applications, and finally tried to burn it out, but the sore returned worse than ever, growing larger and more angry, un til I determined to try Swift's Spe cific. I took the medicine, and it soon made a complete cure. I know that S. S. S. cured me, because I dis carded all other remedies. This was several years ago, and I have had no sign of a return of the cancer.I Mns. M. T. Mars, Woodbury, Texas. April 5th, 1889. Treatise on cancer mailed free. THE SWWEr SPEcme Co., Foreston News. FoREsToN, June 3.-The long drought was broken by heavy rains on Friday night last. Everything is greatly refreshed, and farmers have gone to work with renewed energy. What crops were up were put in fine condition to receive the rain, and are looking well, indeed the prospect was never better. I venture the assertion that as fine cotton and corn may be seen at and near Foreston as anywhere in the State. Spring oats, I fear are a failure. Those planted in the fall are very fine, and I be lieve nearly all harvested. Maj. Land, who pays considerable atten tion to stock raising, has a fine herd of sheep into which -the dogs got on Saturday last, killing and wounding sixteen head. This is really too provoking. There should be some redress. If one is not responsible financially for the damage his worthless curs commit, then h% ought to be held crim inally. The street drains of the town are in very good condition, and the health is excellent. Services were held in the Methodist church yesterday morning by the pastor, Rev. J. S. Porter. The Black River Union will convene with the Baptist church of this town on Friday before the 5th Sunday of this month, at which time we hope to see many visitors to our little town, the editor of the TnmEs among them. On last Thursday we were pleased to grasp the han'd of our worthy Sheriff at this point. Misses Beck Moise, of Sumter, and Mag gie Burgess, of Greeleyville, are visiting friends here. F. News from Wilsons. Wnso s, June 3.-The rain commencing last Thursday has put the grass to growing, likewise corn, cotton, and other crops, and to see which will get there in this race is interesting the farmers just at this time, and to a certain extent the one that wins will be the extermination of the other one. Grass is of such a selfish nature that he won't let anything else do well and live where he has control. Grass is a good thing in its place, but it won't do to try. to make it and other crops on the same piece of land it the same time. All successful farmers have already smoked that in their pipes, md others may as well learn that fact at :nce. If it were not for bad stands the crop prospect would be a good one. Mr. Editor, you want news for your hop per, and as I have none I had better stop sere; perhaps it would have been better had [ stopped before starting. If so, let the aste basket take charge. J., News from Foreston. FoRss-oN, June 3.-Our town and the surrounding country is all serene. No one lead or married, but from the appearance f things there are a few that would like to :ry the latter state. After a drouth of a month we have been blessed with a fine rain. Tho crops have cffered but little, it has given them a re reshing appearance. Corn is small, but ooks hardy. On low, damp ground ,t has been badly cut down by worms. Cotton is as fine as it is possible or it to be. In some fields it is taking on he forms for the fruit, and has every indi iation of a heavy crop, most of the fields eing free from grass. Our Mr. Hudgins's prize acre of corn is ooking fine. It is now fully tasseled out hal is shooting and silking. He had the rst silk the 22nd of May. He is in fine sintadTli? Ee man '*hd cextirTei that the horse was sixteen feet high. He says he is going to make five hundred bushels, and as he has said it he won't re tract it. His prospects are fiattering. All our people appear to be in a contented and happy frame of mind,-no croakers nor idlers, all having enough to do to look after their own affairs, and not bother others. Our church and ~schools, .both Sunday and day, are all well attended and prosper In speaking of the crops I neglected to mention the oat crop, which ?as been partly harvested. The yield was line. The peach crop is abundant, and if you will take a run down the latter part of the month you shan't return without a fine mess of peaches, and we may put on a lit tle sugar and cream, and if they won't go down- easy we will chuck in a piece of ice and freeze them all up together. Frozen peaches aint bad. ONE Married a Missionary to Japan. RIDGE SPPJNG, EDGEIELD CoUNuE, June 2.-The Rev. John A.

Young Owen retreated at first, but being followed with a knife, turned and put a bullet through the 'heart of his step father, who fell dead with the knife grasped in his hand. There is no blame attached to the young man here, but our people rather seem to feel-like echoing the sentence: "Sic Abstract of Real Propert O Below we publish an abstract of all t Bradham has kindly furnished us with plicate the last of this month, when he similar abstract of the personal properl and competent officer, and'his books ar thoroughness.

The following South Carolina students were graduated from the Peabody Normal College of Nashville, Tenn., on May 29th, 1889: Nellie W. Chapman, Newberry; N. W. Cooper, Mullins; Sam J. Craig, Tylersville; Jas. T. King, Macedonia; S. J. McMichol, Orangeburg; Henro Ranch, Wyse's Ferry. There were thus vacated six Peabody schol arships worth $200 a year and good for two years, and these prizes will be awarded by State Superintendent Rice on competitive examination. This is a rare opportunity for young men and young women who as pire to the higher places in the "new pro fession." Students who may fail to secure scholarships may still enter the College, where tuition and use of books are free. CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED.

C., 181 Pearl st., N. Y. Williamsburg News. [Lake City Weekly, May 28th.] There is a young boy living within a few miles of this place who eats his clothes. He will devour a handkerchief in a few mo ments. There are now two beneficiary vacancies in the Citadel Academy from Williamsburg county. A competitive examination will be held in September to fill these vacancies. About two weeks ago, two little children of the Rev. S. T. Russell, of Cedar Swamp neighborhood, went out fishing, and they have not been seen or heard of since. This is a distressing case, and our sympathies are with the favily. Last week a young son of Mr. H. D. Lee shot a negro man whose name we have not learned. It seems that the negro was ad vancing on Mr. Lee with a turpentine dip per when he (Lee) shot him twice, inflicting at the second shot what was thought to be a fatal wound, but it has since been devel oped that he will probably recover.
