Ma.nning, S. . S: A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDIESOAY, JULY 3,1889. UNJUST VALUATION OF OUR LAND. To the world it is published that the farming lands of Clarendon coun ty, those lands that are actually in a state of cultivation, are worth for the best only $3.50 an acre, and that there is onlyfifty cents difference in the value of any kind of arable lands. It is true we have in Clarendon a few acres of arable land that possibly might be purchased at $3 or $3.50 an acre. But we doubt exceedingly if as much as ten acres in one parcel or field of land could be purchased at those figures. The very lowest we - have ever heard of land renting in this county is one dollar an acre, and there are few acres that rent for less than $1.50 an acre. $2 is about the average rent paid for an acre, but there are some lands in this county now actually rented at five dollars an acre; but the Board of Equalization says of these same lands, "Though each acre brings an annual revenue of five dollars, yet we declare in our official capacity that it is worth only three and a half dollars an acre." Gentlemen of the Board of Equali zation, have you ever thought of the appearance of the above valuation, that land is actually worth $1.50 an acre less than it rents for? It is unjust, unbusiness like, to ases all the lands in this county at, or so nearly at, the same figures. Every tract of land ought to have its own assessed value, and that value ought to be at the very least four times its annual rental value. 25 per cent is a very great interest on real estate investment. To assess land at five or six times its rental value would be nearer the actual valuation. (arendon ebunty has some poor land, no doubt of that, but we have also large farms of as fine and valua ble land as can be found any where in the State; yet this land is officially published to the world as being worth only $3.50 an acre for the-very best. Is there then any wonder that the charge is brought against our peo that we are so non-progressive? we, with land at $3.50 an acre for the very best, presume to offer in ducements to capitalists to come among us? We are at present ranked the fifth poorest county in the State, when if our property was put at its proper valuation, we would be ranked stjgast among the average counties of .-the Sae. But, how about other counties ? Well, we presume a similar line of policy is adopted in other counties, too; but must I, because my neigh bors revel in the iniquities of sin, likewise bow down and serve the devil? THE NcDOW T RIA L The court of general sessions, at Charleston, was occupied all of last week in the trial of Dr. T. B. McDow, for the killing of Capt. F. W. Dawson on the 12th of March last. A great, deal of testimony was in troduced, and the examination of the seesana wa..anhastive; 4be -arge. ments of the solicitor and counsel rep resenting the State, as well as those of the consellors for the accused, were models of legal research and profes siona1 skill. The charge of the pre siding judge was, to say the least, fair to the accused in every respect. On last Saturday afternoon, the jury unanimously agreed upon and render ed a yerdiet of. not guilty. In coming to the conclusion that McDow was guilty of no crime what ever, the jury, in the discharge of the high duty devolved upon them, must hare ignored several particulars of the awful tragedy which was enacted in the little office on Rutledge Street, on thataftenoon in March. Notwith standing Mcflow's attempt, by getting rid of the body of his victim, to -de itroy the'evidence which would, at once, unerringly, point to him as the slayer of Capt. Dawson, and notwith standing the substantial.discrepancies ..bet~eeni McDow's first statement to reporters and others of material facts concerning the homicide, and his testimony on the same points at the trial, the jury appear as having as-i amed that the entire statement of McDow, from first to last, was true to the letter, and that his actions on the ocnasion of the killing, and his earli eststinezment of the fact, were to be blown aside as so much chaf. The jury appears to have attached -no importance to the coolness and de liberation of McDow, 'evidenced in a -dozen different acts, whereby he at-1 tempted the task of covering up his bloody deed. The attempted burial was, evident ly, only a temporary arrangement for the hidig, of the body until it could be entirely destroyed, and the traces of the crime forever obliterated. It' has been shown in several important -crimuinal trials in this country, by the tessimony of experts, that, if proper agencies are used, a human body may be destroyed in afew hours. McDowi was a physician. Dr. McDow enjoys the light of heaven, uninterrupted by the iron bars of his recent prison, and, to-day, walksthe streets of Charleston a free mnan; but a large number of the thoughtful and order-loving people of the State, and we may say 'of the~ United States, are not prepared to accept the verdict of acquittal as con elusive of the innocence of Capt. Dawson's slayer, but they think, and ,will continue to think, that in this in stance justice has not been done. .Though the pitiful condition of McDow, while being tried for his life, was calculated to excite some commis eration, and appealed for a dispassion ate consideration of his case, yet, the1 darkened home of which his victim was the light, the unutterable anguish ~ebereaved hearts in that home, ~w~e oraig and evening prayers are burdened Ithe thought, - "But 0. for the touch df-aanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still," appeald likewise, for some degree of If in the result of this trial justice1 has been done, then we say save us1 from such justice, and let a new defi nition be attached to that term in the name of which so much~ injustice, has been done. We do not intend to censure the jury which passed upon the issues raisedh the trial of McDow; doubt less, according to their comprehension I of the facts and of the law, their ver dict was the result of their convic tions; but we may be permitted to say that it is time some provision was in serted in the law regulating the draw ing and empanelling of juries in this State, which would, occasionally, in sure the drawing of a jury whose sense of duty, in homicide cases, will, not lead to the inevitable conclusion that the slayer is always in the right, and the slain in the wrong. SUMMERTON ON A BOOM. Grand Railroad Jubilee-Cotton Seed Oil Mill Picnic-School Celebration-Trib ute to Mr. Lanham-Other Matters. Somntnero , July 1.-We. are having plenty of rain, and crops are looking fine. The meeting on last Tuesday to organize a cotton seed oil mill at this place met in the academy. Mr. J. D. Rutledge was called to the.chair, and Dr. B. M. Badger was requested to act as secretary. It was agreed to have the capital $20,000 and the shares $25 each. A committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions, consisting of Messrs. Thomas Wilson, S. Rt Cole, R. H. Belser, R. R. Briggs, F. A. Tin dal, B. M. Badger, and J. D. Rut ledge. A subscription was taken up with those present, and quite a large amount of the stock was taken. We feel confident that the proposed enter prise will be a success, and I know of no section in the State where a mill of this kind could be more success fully run than here. There will be a barbecue and bas ket picnic given here next Saturday, the 6th, just to celebrate the comple tion of the Wilson & Summerton R. R. to this place, and to complete the organization of the cotton seed oil mill. The public are cordially invited to attend, the ladies especially. We expect quite a large crowd and pleas ant time. Distinguished speakers from Charleston, Sumter, and Clar endon have been invited to deliver addresses on the occasion. The com mittee of arrangements consists of Messrs. R. R. Briggs, J. D. Rutledge, J. J. Ragin, J. C. Lanham, and J. S. Cantey. I have been requested to send you the following program of exercises of the Summerton Academy, at its re cent exbgyition: OPNING ADDREss-Richard Belser. WELCOME Soxo PzaxEa by Rev. T. B. Wannamaker.

SONG-THE LrII.LE STEAvLEr ExEECIsEs OF THE CRIsL.E LrrEEARY So-I CIETY. BENEDICTION by Rev. Mr. Oates. .At the anniversary of the Carlisle Literary Society, Mr. A. Plumer Bur gess very gracefully made, in his his tory of the society, some appreciative remarks concerning Mr. J. C. Lanhamn, the founder of the society. After de picting in a graphic manner the firstj days of the society, he said: "To Mr. Lanham we are indebted for this generous and masterly work. [Constitution and By Laws.] May we never forget him, and as our 'labor bears fruit,' may it all redound to his honor. Upon his head may the chaplet' of honor rest. Alter four preliminary meetings Mr. Lanhamn thought us ca-' pable of self-government, and took leave of us, kindly offering us his hep at any time, to which help we have never in vain appealed." These remarks, ccming as they did, from Mr. Burgess's heart, were re echoed in several rounds of hearty applause from the large and attentive audience. Indeed, it seemed at one time as if the telling speech would have to be interrupted in order to give place to "three cheers and a tiger" for Mr. Lanham. The Rev. R. N. Wells, D. D., preach ed in the Methodist church yesterday. There will be preaching in the churches in this place as follows: Methodist, Rev. T. E.

PA~ora, July 1.-Mr. Fiitor: After weeks of silence I send you dots. My negligence i not the cause of indifference, neither the want of matter. I could have to some ex tent given your readers a small fry everyv week, had I been physically able. Tgr-i. much in these parts to write a~eat, news every day, full and comprehe~fsible, some thing transpiring, -hiinorous, laughable, and witty. Our country town is not a whit behind other places. All we lack is railroad fclities. The morals of the community are about as good as elsewhere, free from drunkenness, gambling, and other vices which so often corrupt society. Everybody belongs to the church, looking heavenward. It would puzzle the closest and most minute observer to separate the worldling from the christian. We often surmise how every community delights to honor its own. The Panola sec tion is a peculiar people, zealous of good some little towns, which boast of "select society." Our daily associates are bread and-meat men, hungering and thirsting af ter the meat that endureth to this life. I often wonder if a fool killer was to come where he would hit the first lick; or if judg ment is to commence at the hoase of God where will the sinner and ungodly appear. This whole panoply divine is a mockery at grace, and a substitute for the development of better times, that is, men hide their faults behind their religion. An evil of this day is fault-finding and back-biting. Such is the like to be found in almost any community, a tirade of abuse because one don't like another. I suppose every community has been infested to some extent with these troublesome myths, bug bears, to do an injury wherein circumstances require. It any of your readers think the bow has been drawn at a venture, why just let him get beyond the arrow. We boast of good morals. Cotton is plentiful, but little corn. Crops were never more promising. The dry weather in May enabled the farmers to get their heads above the level. Gen. Green was vanquished, and his whole army captured; therefore the spoils belong to the victors. Since the rains everybody is blest with a smile on his face. One thing we lack is energy as corn plant ers. Would that there were more Lands and Hudginses distributed throughout old Clar endon. I had the pleasure last year to tes tify as an eye witness to both farms of these two gentlemen. I found no explosion of gas in their conversation, for the corn shov ed for itself. We have as good planters here as are to be found anywhere else, but they make cotton a specialty. Some say it is much easier to raise cotton and buy corn. I have seen but few crops for the last two months, therefore can only generalize; but if anybody wants a puff, just size the pile of his sugar dish, and throw in the old gob bler, and we will be more than happy to inspecthis fields. We need missionaries at home to cultivate the negro's mind, as much so as- in Africa. I am a confirmed Ariel convert. 1 recently saw a specimen of barbarism in an old col ored man, revolting in its nature. This man is an officer in his church. He had his daughter tied with a rope, and led by a younger sister, while he followed with a double barrel shot gun. The young lady was fair and beautiful, and about twenty years old. I am told this father is very cruel to his children. We are all looking forward to your grand 4th of July distribution. We ask ourselves the question from your many paid-up sub scribers, who will be the fortunate ones? You, Mr. Editor, have given the county a most valuable paper. Be not weary in well doing, for in due time you shall reap if you faint not. ToM. Swift's Specific cured me of ugly and very painful boils or risings. I had twenty-three on my back and neck at one time and a great many on my body. I took S. S. S., and two bot tles cured me. This was five years ago, and have had no boils since. W. M. Mnimn, Arlington, Texas. W. H. Wight, of Rogers, Ark., a prominent farmer and stock grower, says that Swift's Specific cured him of tetter of twenty years' standing. Of course in that time he had a great amount of treatment, and says the wonder is that he did not scratch the flesh from his bones. S. S. S. cured him quick and permanently. The continued use of mercury mixt ures poisons the system, causes the bones to decay, and brings on mercu rial rheumatism. The use of S. S. S. forces impurities from the blood, gives a good appetite and digestion, and builds up the whole human frame. Send to Swift Specific Company, Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga., for treatise on blood diseases.

The New state Treasurer. The Governor has appointed Colonel E. R. McIver, of Darlington, State Treasurer, to ill the unexpired term of Mr. I. S. Bamn berg, deceased. The Governor first offered the place to Hon. C. S. McCall, of Marlboro county. who declined. He then tendered it to Col. R. G. IRoward, of Florence county, who also declined. "HUNGER IS THE BEST SAUCE." As a rule, a person who has a good appe tite has good health. But how many there are who enjoy nothing they eat, and sit down to meals only as an nnpleasant duty. Na ture's antidotes for this condition are so happily combined in Hood's Sarsaparilla that it soon restores good digestion, creates an appetite, and renovates and vitalizes the blood so that ~tlie beneficial effect of good food is imparted to the whole body. Truly hunger is the best sauce, and Hood's Sarsa parilla induces hunger. The ladies of the Baptist church have ice cream every Tuesday evening, in the build ing next to the Tmtzs office.
