Every subscriber to the TiFs, who

rears send in his dues at once.
Mr. C. L. Emanuel, of the Fork,

Last Wednesday we collected $24.
25 in subscriptions from eleven sub

on account of family influence, nol
prossed.

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.

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

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

StM TOX, June 24.-We had a
fine rain Saturday night, which was
much needed and has greatly refresh

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

This will be a great convenience to us.
The grading of the Eutawville Rail
road was begun at Sumter last Thurs

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

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.

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.

A Narrow Escape.
There came very ncar ben a serious ac
cident at the Wateree bridge, on the Wil
mington Columbia and Augusta Railroad,'
Monday afternoon to an excursion train of
five coaches going to Columbia from Wil
minton, N. C. The railroad company are
putting in a draw bridge at the river, and
the hands were working there and had the.
draw open, when the train came thundering
along. Some one hurriedly sign ed it down.
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.

Killed by Jumping off the Train.
COLT MBt, June 22.--Two negroes this
morning jumped off a moving freight train
when it was about two miles below Eastover.
It appears that they had heard that they
were both to be arrested at Sumter upon the
arrival of their train, and to escape arrest
they jumped ff the train while in motion.
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. Trial Justice
Taylor is holding the inquest to-day.
