For the first time in the history of the State will the Fourth of July be celebrated by a newspaper gimng away -eight beautiful and useful prizes. Mr. J. P. Creeey, one of our young and progressive farmers, had a cotton bloom on the 19th. He is said to have one of the best farms in the county. Mr. Judson Chiewning ad Miss 'aggie Davis, daughter of 3. A. Davis, of the Fork section, were mar ried last Monday morning by Rev. G. W. Gatlin. Rev. L. D. Bass has had the honor ary degree of D. D. conferred on him by the Alabama University. Dr. Bass is now pastor of a Baptist church in Greenville, Mich. Only about one-third of our sub scribers have paid to or beyond July 4th. We wish every one was paid up, so that every subscriber to the Tns eould have a ticket to the Grand Gift Distribution. Sugar is selling at rather high prices with a tendency upwards. It is not improbable that in a few weeks it wilsell as high as fifteen cents a pound. And what will we poor mnor-~ +.1a ai for sweetening? The merchants, or rather the clerks, are busy taking stock. There is not much fun in such work. Every subscriber to the TiFs, who fails to pay up or to make proper ar rangements, will not receive the T s after July 4th. The amount dlue is small. Won't every one in ar rears send in his dues at once. Mr. C. L. Emanuel, of the Fork, enjoys the distinction of exhibiting the first cotton bloom in town this year. It appeared on the 18th. Mr. j Emanuel is one of our most prosper ous, successful, and substantial farmers. Last Wednesday we collected $24. 25 in subscriptions from eleven sub scribers. If this was a regular every day business. there would be money in it. We feel much gratified at the way many of our subscribers are pay ing up. Why won't every one pay up? J. Rembert Harvin, of Sumter, who, while under the influence of Charles ton whiskey, attempted some time ago to shoot a policeman in Charles ton, pleaded guilty in open court last week to the charge of aggravated as sault, and was sentenced to five months in jail or to pay a fine of $200. The other charges against him were, on account of family influence, nol prossed. Benjamin S. Dinkins, charged with forgery and breaking into the county treasurer's office last December, has been arrested in Texas and is in jail in that State. Sheriff H. H. Lesesne and his son, Mr. J. Harry Lesesne, acting as a special deputy, left for Texas last Friday morning, armed with the necessary requisition papers to bring Dinkins back to Manning. We presume Dinkins will be able to give bail as soon as he arrives, and will not be put in jail. He will be tried at the October term of court. It is said that during his stay in Texas, Dinkins has been regularly practicing in the courts of that State, a part of the time acting as prosecuting attor ney for the State. Thanks To the ladies of the Baptist church for ice cream. To Mr. H. S. Briggs for a lot of very fine peaches. To Mr. R. L. Logan fora basket of peach es for Sunday's eating. To a good old Baptist friend and brother for a basket of large and luscious peaches.. A part of the "court house ring," however, by a flank movenlent, captured the entire basket, and devasttion was the result! ROLL OF HONOR. Below we publish the fourth batch of names. Next week will be the last week be fore the Distribution. We hope every sub scriber in arrears will pay up, and let us oblish his name. It would do us good all ver ! If any subscriber thinks he has paid, but has not seen his name published yet, he should at once report the fact to us. We think we have published the names of every subscriber who has paid up. Each has been sent a ticket for the Distribution. . S. Plowden, Gov. J. P Richardson, vid Levi, T. J. Tisdale, J. F. Boschett, T. C. Owens, J B. Holladay, Mrs. Louisa Huggins, I. I. Bagnal, F. C.

LEVI, Louis APPELT, . Captain. 1st Sergt. The Bank of Manning. Pursuant to a call of the mnoorporators of the Bank of Manning, a meeting of the stockholders was held last Friday in the Court House. Jas. E. Davis was requested to take the chair, and Jos. Sprott. Jr., to act as secretary. It was stated that 315 shares had been subscribed, of which 242 were re p resented. The following directors were unanimously elected: A. Levi, J. C. Simonds, . F. Wieters, 31. Levi, S. A. Rigby, S. M1. Nesen, and J. 1P. Bi-ock. The meeting then adjourned. Immediately after, the Board of Directors met. and elected A. Levi. president; J. P. Brock, vice president; and Jos. Sprott, Jr., cashier. The salary of the president was fixed at $800. and of the cashier at $700. It was decided for the present to have no book keeper. ta ol edsrd The offstart is all ta ol edsrd The board of directors consists of the very best business men in the county. The officers are men in whom the people have implicit confidence. It is possible that Mr. bprott, will not. on account of the smallness of the salary, accept the c'ashiership, although the friends of the bank hope he will conclude to do so. How They Pay. Some post offices pay up much bet ter than others. For instance we take six of the largest post offices in the county, namely, Foreston, Jordan, .Summerton, Panola, Packsville, and Fulton, and we find that at Foreston all have paid up in advance, except 5 persons, 2 white men and 3 colored men. At Jordan there are 13 in ar rears, namely, 10 white men and 3 colored. At Summerton there are 26 in arrears, namely, 20 white men and 6 colored. At Panola there are 6 white men in arrears. At Packsville there are '20 in' arrears, namely, 15 white per sons and 5 colored men. At Fulton there are U delinquents, namely, 5 white men, and 6 colored. Thus at these six post offices we see there are eighty-one persons in arrears. If they would each pay up it would help us to the amount of more than $200. How many will pay up before next week? We are in need of every cent of it to pay for our press. At least half of these eighty-one are so far in arrears that if they do not pay before July 4th, w e shall be compelled to stop sending the Thins to them. Pay up and get your names on the HON OR ROLL 'We need every cent we can posibly collect. Help us, and we promise our best efforts to publish a readable paper. What about Manning ? It is in the soup too. There are 48 Manning sub scribers in arrears, namely, 43 whites and 5 colored. Gentlemen, pay up; get a ticket for the drawing, and your name on the HONOR ROLL. Only one more week -emmns SUMMERTON. An Historical Sketch of Summerton Dur ing the Past Half Century. The little hamlet called Summerton is situated on the waters of the San tee, near the source of Taw-Caw creek, on a point of land formed by the junction of said creek with one of its tributaries, known as Scott's Branch; the latter flowing south-cast ward, and joining the former about one mile below what is considered the center of the village. Due west from Summerton, the Santee begins to form a curve, which continues until past the southern point of the compass, and by this cbrve, Summerton is about equidis tant, or say 10 miles from the swamp, for perhaps thirty miles in its course to the ocean. The area embraced within this curYe in the Santee is composed of some of the inest farming lands in the county, or even in the State, mostly rich red clay, with occasional ly some sand. And within this sec tion beginning with what is familiarly known as "Fulton," and extending down the river to the Williamsburg line, lived for many years the most intelligent and wealthy citizens of the county of Clarendon, many of them owning large areas of land, many slaves, large herds of cattle and sheep, and perhaps more swine than did many of the old time Gadarenes. The broad Santee afforded the finest pastures, and ample hunting and fish ing ground, with its ridges and islands, lakes and creeks; and game was abun dant, from the ugly brown bear that worried through the cane brake, to the nimble cat squirrel on the limbs of the trees, with wild turkeys, ducks, and fish of the finest quality and in great abundance. While the farmer was enjoying the romantic scenery of the swamp, and supplying his table with game, the faithful sons of Africa, were (under proper supervisior) cultivating the fertile fields on the hill, or upland, and almost, without exception, the yield at harvest resulted in super abundance for both master and slave. A HAPPY AND cONTENTED PEOPLE. Indeed, so well satisfied were the farmers of this section with the fer tility of the soil that very few of them ever thought of emigrating to the: West in search of iicher laud, but on the contrary many ofA them entailed their real estate on their heirs tc the second and third generations, corr:id ering it the safest legacy they could bestow upon those who were to coma after them. Of course the results of the war wrought a very great change, and many fertile fields soon lapsed into their original or primitive state. The main difference in the forest now being a heavy .growth of old field pines, where once grew the long spruce or majestic yellow pine. vIyS OF THE LIEN LAW. Many farms are now occupied al most exclusively by colored farmers, some of whom are gathering a little property around, them and show some signs of thrift, but the large majority barely make out to live through the aid of the lien supply law, which they consider a great boon, but which, in our judgement, is in .reality against them in the end, for the prices they are for-ced to pay are really ruinous.. While the lien spleicdfor months, it i su .s,. efore t ~tme, and leaves the poor fel low discouraged,- disheartened, and. perfectly indifferent to energy, indus try, or economy. Fnrst serrr.rs. It was about the time from 1830 to 140 that the point where Summerton. is now located seems first to have been thought of as a health resort. Mr. Charles Harvin, a farmer in easy circumstances, living near Wrights Bluff, was the first to move out to the long leaf pine region at this point, with a view to test its character as a safe retreat from the "malaria," or "chill poison," of the swamp, and so successful was the experiment that he was soon' followed by Dr. John L. Felder, a distinguished physician, and neighbor of Mr. Harvin, with many others from year to year, among whom was the Rev. Hartwell Spain,* a superannuated minister of the Meth odist church, who moved to this place with other members of his family; and one of his gifted daughters be ing at that time a newspaper corres pondent, over the nom de plume of "Lizzie Clarendon," dating the cor respondence from "Summnerton," gave to the place a name which it has worn ever since. EDUC.ATIONAL cENTRE. Very soon the place became thick l settled and the site of a flourishing school under the principal care of the late R. K. Rutledge, who was succeed ed by other teathers, until, under the management of the Rev. MIr. Thomas, a Methodist minister from Canada, it! grewv into an academy with three reg ular teachers and over one hundred students. Such was the sanitary con dition of the location, together with the moral character of the community of Summerton ,proper, that parents, and guardians from the whole sur iounding country were pleased to have their children under such favor able influence. But the civil war with its terrible agencies and results gave to Summer ton and surrounding country a shock, from the effects of which she has never but partially recovered. During the war, howvever, many of the best people from Charleston sought and found a quiet and peace ful refuge in Summerton, and reman ed there for some length of time. Since the war, the school has never regained its former size or prosperity. During the past eight years we have had some very efficient teachers, but the financial condition of our patrous is so reduced that we fiud it impossible to employ a full corps of teachers,. and consequently must yield to the stern necessity of stopping our chil dren short of a regular literary or: classical course. - nmGHTl'j FLUTlnE. But 0! Blessed Hope! Sweet Grace, that always points the depress - The remains of this venerable miinister of the gospe, and true servant of God lie buried just outside of the Methodist churchn in rear of the pulpit in Summerton. The writer has heard that one of his last utr anes was, "B1ury me as near the lulpit as o can." Thus having served Lis gener ition in labouirs abundant from the palpit, his last desire was to sleep peacefully un dr its .shadowv until the resurrecuion ed soul to some bright spot ad, shining through the dark mis of despondency! May we not lift, up our heads, and gird up our loins for a fresh and vigorous struggle against poverty, when lo! two railroads are vying with each other, as to which shall plant the first depot at Summer ton. Yes, Wilson is already here, taking passengers from and bringing others to Summerton from his mill on the Central Railroad. And the Eutaw vile Road will soon be here. Once through with the trestle across the Sar tee, the road being already well graded, and cross ties put down to a point above Summerton, it will be but a few days' work to complete the road to its terminus at Sumter. Then being in close connection with the two great trunk lines passing' through the State, we will be ready to open our arms wide to every good and true man, and say Welcome' Come in Brother. But to the lawless, diso bedient, and profane, we can only say, Friend, I am sorry, but the longer the distance between us, the better for both. B. Town Council Meeting. Town Council met yesterday morning, and elected Mr. J. B. King marshal in place of Arod Stukes, who was discharged from the force. Council also decided to turn over a new leaf, and to enforce the Sunday law. It is said there are several stores in town that have of late been selling goods on Sunday, whenever they could find a customer. Who Will Do It. The following gentlemen have kindly consented to act as the committee to super intend the MANNIxG Tmrzs Grand Gift Dis tridntion on the Fourth of July: Joseph F. Rhame, of Manning; W. D. Gamble, of New Zion; Jos. Sprott, Jr., of Jordan; J. P. Brock, of Summerton; and Thos. Wilson, of wilsons. Every subscriber to the paper is invited to be present. Summerton News. StM TOX, June 24.-We had a fine rain Saturday night, which was much needed and has greatly refresh ed everything. Crops are doing fine. Cotton blossoms are to be found on almost every farm-no scarcity with us. Mr. Ezra Tindal had blooms by the 15th, and I venture to say he has the finest cotton crop in the county. The Wilson & Summerton Railroad will begin carrying the mail Aug. 1st. Then the Charleston mail will be deliv ered at Summerton about 12 o'clock This will be a great convenience to us. The grading of the Eutawville Rail road was begun at Sumter last Thurs day. Col. Barkelcy says the railroad will be pushed through in ninety days. The citizens of Summerton commu nity will have a meeting to-morrow for the purpose of organizing a cotton seed oil mill. Prof. R. E Mood had an interest ing exhibition of his school last Fri day evening. It was quite a success, and was largely attended. The stu dents acquitted themselves nicely. Mr. Mood ?itaresume the exercises of is school next fal.. The debate of the Carlisle Literar Society, Willie Gordon Belser on the affirmative, and John J.

To Delinquent Subscribers. iFrom business principles and from past experience in the news paper business, we are fully con vinced that the indiscriminate eredit system is very pernicious in its effects. THE MANNING TIES will consequently, after July 4th, be run, on a cash basis, or very short credit. On July 5th, 1889, unless satisfactory arrangements have been previously made, the names of all subscribers who are in arrears as far back as March 1, 188, will be stricken from our list. We have about a hundred such niames, and while we dislike very much the idea of losing so many subscribers, yet we had rather lose them than run the risk of losing three or four times as~ many hundred dollars. If the TIES is worth anything it is worth $1.50 a year; and any per son who during the year's time cannot pay this sinall sum had best not take the paper at all. We are endeavoring 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 comupelled to discontinue the paper to your address after July 4th. After July 4th, 1889, all sub scriers to THE MANNING TIEs, who are in arrears for more than sixteen months ($2) will cease to receive the TnrEs. Don't you think it. would be fair and just to pay us this balance now, when we need it so much? In 1861 it took just one bushel of corn to buy one pound of nails, now one bushel of corn will buy ten pounds of nails. Then it required sixty-four bushels of barley to buy* one yard of broatdcloth, now the same* amont of barley will pay for twenty ards of broadcloth. It then re quired the price of one bushed of* wheat to buy one yard of calico, now one bushel of wheat will buy twenty TRIED FOR HIS LIFE. )r. McDow on Trial in Charleston for the Murder of Capt. Dawson-The Com plexion of the Jury Insures an Ac quittal. CHARLESToN, June 21.- -Dr. Thomas Bal- I lard McDow who killed Captain Francis Warrington Dawson on account of a woman in this city last March. was put upon his trial here to-day. The court convened at precisely 10 o'clock with Judge J. B. Ker shaw on the bench. The judge was with out his gown, which detracted considerably from the dignity of the court. Solicitor Jer vey, with Messrs. Mitchell & Smith, repre sented the State, while A. G. MaGrath & Son and Asher D. Cohen, Esq., the defence. All the counsel are residents of Charleston. The prisoner entered the dock seemingly unconcerned, but an occasional glare of his eyes, and tremor about his tonsils bespoke nervousness. He possesses a wonderful de gree of composure; but to the observant it is evident he is striving to suppress deep, feelings of uneasiness. His weight is about 125 pounds; height, near 6 feet. He has black hair, a slight moustache, large brown eyes, a high forehead and crow-footed tem ples, indicating brains, with compressed lips and a stern countenance, bespeaking firmness. He appears not to be over thirty years old, and is dignified and graceful in his bearing. One hour and six minutes were consumed in drawing the jury, which, when empanelled, consisted of five white, four colored, and three black citizens, prin cipally residents of the city; one or two be ing from the country. Each juror, without an exception, is a fair representative of the average intelligence of the respective class to which he belongs. A half dozen witnesses were examined by the State, and the court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. The evidence adduced thus far developed the following facts: That at 37 o'clock on the afternoon of his death Capt. Dawson boarded a street car at his office on Broad St., and alighted there from in a pleasant humor a few moments later near Dr. McDow's office, which is on the first floor of his residence on Rctledge St. The deceased usually went that route to his home, which was beyond McDow's. Shortly afterwards the report of a pistol was heard in the vicinity of McDow's office. Something being dragged across the office floor caused a policeman to rap. The door cracked slightly open, a man peeped with one eye through the crack, and, without speaking, closed the door. After "some1 considerable time" McDow crossed the street from his office to a grocery, with marks of white wash on his right coat skirt and also on the top of his hat, which was a stiff der by. There is no white wash in the office. The hat was dented in two places on the top. He very soon returned, eating an ap ple, and went "very quietly" alone into his office. Several hours afterwards McDow drove out of his gate and surrendered him self to a policeman saying, "I have killed Capt. Dawson and I am sorry for it." He was taken into custody and imprisoned very soon afterwards. Capt. Dawson's body was found in Dr. McDow's office lying across the floor on its back, a kid glove was on his right hand, while the other glove lay on the floor be neath his left hand. Slight traces of white wash were on his pants, overcoat and gloves. is brow bore several abrasures, and there was blood in his beard and on his shirt front. There was a bullet hole in his right side. The ball was traced horizontally cross the. body into the large artery which u4cts the blood to the heart, and. there o never been further searched The physician who held the autopsy says life could not have lasted 60 seconds after the artory was severed. There was a closet in the office beneath a staircase the floor of, which was ripped up. It was whitewashed. over head. A fit 6 or 8 feet long and about 15 inches deep was freshly dug in this clos et with a spade in it stained with blood. Tracks were in the pit. Pieces of the floor-: ing which were ripped up had stains of blood on them. A damp towel stained also with blood, was foud on a washstand be hind a basin,'in a rubbish room adjoining the ofdece. The physician thought there was an effort made to wash away the blood from Dawson's face and shirt-front. Stains of blood were on the little closet door and door posts. The door to the closet was nailed up with small nails and had to be, forced open. Dawson's shoes had white wash on them. Money, lead pencils, pa pers. private letters, and iteo "official report, signed by Sergt. Dunn of the police force, were taken from his pockets and read by the coroner. The defense gave potice that the State would be required to produce these "cficial re'ports' and the court adjourn ed until 10 A. x. to-morrow. The jury were discharged and allowed to comingle with: the populace, as is usual when counsel do not object, but not until they arc warn ed by the judge to talk about the ease with no one. C. $100 REWARD. $100 The readers of the Tnors will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that scien.ce has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only positive cure now' known to the medical fraternity'. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh cure is taken internally, acting directly up on the blood and mucus surfaces of the s'stem, thereby destroying the foundation *of the disease, and giving the patient strength, by building up the c~nstitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its cura tive powers, that they oiler one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

The fireman jumped from the engine. but the engineer stuck to his post and stopped the train just eighteen feet from the open draw, and these five coaches with their load of human freight would have been rpn into the river and terrible indeed would have been the loss of life.-Sumter Wa~.tcanan.

One of the negroes, the elder of the two, was instantly killed, while the other, who was a boy, is reported as being severely in jured, having broken his arm and received, probably, internal injuries.
