The sheriff had only one sale last week,
and the piece of property was bid in by the

20,000 five inch cypress shingles for
sale at M. Kalisky's.
Fall oats are very fine this year,
better than before for several years.
The fruit crop this year is very
promising, the best for a number of
years.
We .have published all tSe local
news we could get hold of this week,
but we have an interesting paper any
way,
The Manning Guards had a drill
* last Friday; and every Friday after
noon, at 7 o'clock, the company will

Don't postpone to the last moment
paying up for the Thres. Pay up

By reference to a notice elsewhere
it will be seen that the books of sub

be opened to-day.
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.

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

Rev John Kershaw, the Rev. C. C. Brownj

these estimable gentlemen in their manage

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

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.

Mr. H. L. B. Wells has a letter from the
United Cottonseed Oil Comnp any saying that

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

machinery for the manufacture of cotton or
fiber bagging so soon as he is assured of a

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

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.

WEAK WOMEN.
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.

How the Fatal City Looked After the
Flood-Approached by a Rope Bridge
The Horrors of the Streets.
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

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

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.

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,

If it were not for bad stands the crop
prospect would be a good one.

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

B. B. B. (BOTANIC BDOOD BALM.)

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.
