Mr. F. W. Haley says the crops around Jordan are in fine condition and generally free of grass. Fine rains throughout the county during the past few weeks. Crops are in an excellent condition. A slight earthquake shock was felt in Charleston last Thursday night about 10 o'clock. Some of our citi zens say they felt the shock here. Comptroller General Verver did not come down yesterday to examine the auditor's and treasurer's offices. He wrote that other official duties would prevent his coming before some time next week. We have two new sewing machines in our office that can be bought at low figures for cash. They are the very best, but we got them in pay ment for advertising, and would like to exchange them for money. The communion meeting in Man ning Presbyterian church will be on the 4th Sabbath of this month. Rev. J. G. Richards, the evangelist of Presbytery, will assist the pastor, and will preach on Friday, Saturday, and Sabbath, the 26th, 27th, and 28th inst., at 11 A. X. and 8 1-2 p. . each day. Mr. F. W. Haley, of Jordan, had the misfortune of losing a fine eight months old colt yesterday morning. The colt was playing around the lot, and in attempting to jump a fence, it fell and broke its neck. About five months ago the dam of this colt died. These are considerable losses to Mr. Haley. All the prizes for the MAmIxG Tnss Fourth of July Grand Gift Distribution have been delivered, ex cept the baby carriage. If the young gentleman who drew it does not want this baby carriage, we will keep it and put it in our next distribution, which will come off next October. We find a baby carriage a very useful and convenient household article, but then you know, circumstances alter cases. The Manning Guards at a meeting last Friday afternoon decided to have their annual basket picnic at Mr. F. 3. Barwick's about four miles north west of Manning, Friday, July 26th. The public is cordially invited. It will be a basket picnic. The com mittee of arrangements consists of Messrs. P. B. Thames, L. Appelt, I. I. Bagnal, J. H. Rigby, and W. T. Wil der. The chief amusement of the day will be dancing. Dozier Burgess was arraigned last Monday before Trial Justice Benbow, for a preliminary hearing, on a charge of aggravated assault and battery, upon Washington Pearson. The ev idence developed was that Burgess had thrown an iron weight at Pear son, and that then the two negroes closed in a fight. The trial justice dismissed the charge of aggravated assault and battery, but held Burgess on a charge of assault, of which he as convicted and sentenced to five ays in jail or to pay a fine of three ollars. He paid the fine. Senator' Rhame represented the defendant, and Mr. Galluchat the State. Nathan Nelson is decidedly one of the most liberal contribc tors to the ally big drunk yesterday mnormxng, having imbibed very freely of Man ning's unadulterated hell water, and when a policeman and two others en deavored to carry him to the guard house they found it a hard road to travel. Nathan made all the resist ance possible, and when he got there he was well nigh divested of clothing, being in a grossly nude state. When put in the guard house he began cursing and using very offensive lan guage. The policeman then shut the window, the only opening in the dun geon, and nailed it up. May be this is right, and possibly to get this fel low to shut up his mouth so that his dirty language would not befoul the air around it was necessary to resort to such cruel tratment, but it ought to be resorted to in extreme cases on ly, such as this, and then only for a short time. One day last week a young lady in town determined to have some fun by playing a practical- joke on her younger sister and a young lady visiting her. A couple of Citadel ca dets had just come injto town, one of whom was an old schoolmate and a reat favorite with the young ladies T'he elder sister, disguising her hand, wrote a polite note to the two young ladies, in which the two young gentle men requested to be alloyed thee quisite pleasure of calling that even ing. The young ladies promptly an swered the note, and the coming evening's pleasure was the great to pic for the balance of the day. The other ladies of the house were of course in the secret, and humored the joke. The two young ladies even discussed the subject of conversation, and posted the older ones how long they should stay in the parlor, and what- they should talk about. We will not, however, give them away on this point. Later in the day other invitations to call were politely de clined. Evening came, and with ex tra attention to their toilets, and with hearts beating high in anticipati->n of a pleasant evening, and with music and singing, they awaited the coming of the cadets. After a while they were told it was all a joke, and then the two young ladies-but we won't tell any more.

C., I would hereby give notice that I will be at old Fel lowship church, 3 miles south of Manning, on Saturday 20th inst., for the purpose of organizing one or more sub alliances, after which the county alliance will be organized, say at 1 o'clock. Sub Alliances throughout the coun ty will appoint delegates to take part in the county organization, and inas much as we are to spend the best part of the day, they are requested to bring dinner. Our purpose is, "to develop a better state, mentally, mor ally, socially, and tinancially." D.nx'L J. BrAn.r, Organizer. Dinkins Released on Bail. Application for bail for B. S. Din kins was made last Saturday, in Col umbia, before Judge Pressley. B. PressleyBarron, Esq,appeared for the defense and Solicitor John S. Wilson for the State. Dinkins waived the right to appear in person. The Judge ordered that Dinkins should be discharged from custody upon giv ing a satisfactory bond for $1,500 $500 for the charge of forgery and $1,000 for that of housebreaking. Monday afternoon the bond was properly filed and approved, and Din kins was turned out of jail. The bondsmen are Messrs. T. H. Harvin, J. G. Dinkins, and W. M. Brockinton. Was the Policeman Negligent? The Editor of THE. MANIG Trfs is not accustomed to making rash statements, or to -writing as facts things that he cannot sustain. When last week we stated, with reference to the duty of a policeman to search prisoners before putting them in the guard house, that to put a prisoner in the guard house before he is searched "is not the practice in this place, is against orders, and is gross criminal neglect," we had as our au thority for saying so information di rect from the Intendant of the town. Charges have been preferred against at least one of the policemen, and we presume the town council will at the proper time make due investigation and place the blame where it belongs. Until then it is best that the matter should rest quiet. Hector's Reputation. MR. EnrTOR:-In your last week's issue you speak of the boy Washing ton Pearson, who attempted suicide in the guard house, as having an "un savory character." He was in my employ at the time of his misfortune, had been for quite a while, and was a faithful and obedient servant. Beyond one or two quarrels he was in, previous to my hireing him, I can learn of nothing derogatory to his general reputation. His character I find unimpeached. In his precari ous condition it is surely unfair to publish what "is said" concerning him. What "is said to be" the "char ater," or even reputation, of any of us might or might not place us in a very envious attitude, but, Mr. Editor what "is said to be" might, or might not, be trute. In justice to my servant I write uagile. Respctfu~v July 11th. A Lively Fight. Frank RI. Lively, of Foreston, and Bob Burris, better known as Black Snake, of Williamsburg, both colored, got into a difficulty at Greeleyville last Thursday afternoon. Black Snake had an old musket and Lively a razor. Lively with razor in hand started for BlackSnake, who retreated to where his gun was hid and taking it up or dered Lively to halt. This he ne glected to do, and- Black Snake gave him the contents, a load of bird shot, which entered his left arm just below the shoulder, making a hole big enough to put a hen's egg in it. Lively, as soon as the smoke of battle cleared away, again started for Black Snake, who using his old musket as a club, dealt him a powerful blow across his head, breaking the skull bone in several places. Both wounds are se rious, though Lively does not com plain of the head wound. The bone of the arm is shot to pieces, every shot in the gun having gone into the arm. It was a line shot for his heart, and nearly got there, too. The doc tor thinks amputation necessary, but the negro will not- consent to it. It is very doubtful whether he will re cover." No arrests have yet been made. Lively is about nineteen years old, and is a son of Rev. F. W. Lively. He is married, and the trouble originate'd in defense of his wife's character. Foreston News. FoRESTON, July 10.-For the first time we have to admit we are a little dull. Only three warrants have been issued by the trial justice since last writing: one for injury to stock, one Ifor assault and battery, and the third for rescuing stock. These cases will Ibe examined some time this week. The council also has some work be fore it of wvhich you may hear later. A shooting scrape occurred at Greeleyville on Friday night of last week in which a Foreston negro, Frank Lively, wvas dangerously hurt in the left shoulder. He has been Ibrought here to the home of his par uts, and is under treatment of Dr. Nettles. His chances for recovery, at this writing, are slim. The seasons are still high, and crops are doing well, though a little foul in some instances. Mr. Hudgins has his second crop up and growing finely on his prize acre. He thinks he will give a close race yet, if not entirely the winner. Mr. T. F. Mason and family of Winter Haven, Fla., are visiting rela tives* here. They will go on to Mar. ion in a few days to visit the relatives of Mrs. Mason, A Mr. Kiellar, of Elloree, has been visiting at Mr. G. E. Hudgins's the past few days. Judging from the scarcity of peo pe in town on Sunday last we pre sume the quarterly meeting at St. Marks was well attended. We how ever had preaching morning and night at the Baptist church, by the pastor, Rev. T. J. Rooke. Morning subject, "Weary not in well doing," nig hts' "Pure religion." P. Summerton News. SUMMFKTOy July 15.-There was a called meeting of the cotton seed oil mill company last Saturday to suggest plans to commence work, and Mr. Thomas Wilson was appointed a committee of one to visit the Colum bia mills to obtain all information possible for the construction and oper ation of the mill. A committee was ap pointed to procure a site for the mill and to arrange for lumber, machinery, etc., subject to the approval of the stockholde s. Another meeting will be held next Saturday, the 20th, to elect officers and a board of directors. All stock subscribers are requested to be present, as it is very important to have all present at the election. Dr. B. M. Badger is putting up a two story frame dwelling. When completed it will be an ornament to that part of the village. The young ladies of the village will give a rainbow party at Dr. Briggs s Tuesday evening. Mr. J. P. Brock and family will leave for Pawle3 s Island on next Thursday. Remember us, friend Pat, when you are rolling in the surf, for there is nothing we like better on a warm day. Miss Mamie Burgess returned home last Thursday from an extend ed visit to Mayesville, accompanied by her cousins, Miss Sallie Grant and Mr. Joe Mayes. Miss Nannie Richardson is visiting friends in the village. Mrs. Whilden of Charleston is vis, iting her daughter Mrs. Dr. Briggs. Dr. W. D. Kirkland, editor S. C. Advocate, spent several days at Maj. R. R. Briggs's last week. The Doctor is looking well. I was asked by a colored man, on hearing of the boy Heck's cutting his throat if the law would not punish him for it. Don't you think the idea a good cue? All attempts to com mit suicide should be punished in some way. C. Sumter News. [ Walnaan and Souhron.] Miss Mattie Mills has been award ed the first and Miss Estelle Cooper the second Winthrop Training School scholarship from this county. The Washington correspondent of the Neers and Courier telegraphed to that paper ,yesterday, "George W. Reardon was to-day appointed post master at Sumter, S. C., thus putting. an end to the contest that has been going on over that office for several weeks past." Our citizens will, doubtless, be as well satisfied with Mr. Reardon as with any Republican who could have been appointed from this place. At a meeting of the trustdes of the Sumter Graded School held en last Monday afternoon, in the city coun cil chamber, Mr. Victor Pringle was elected assistant teacher of the male j department and the Misses Mary H. Girardeau and J. Florence Hurst teachers of the female department. No principal for the school has yet been elected. The school will be opened about September 1, at the A. J. Moses mansion. A water spout passed over the Providence section of country on Thursday night, July 4, entailing thousands of dollars loss to the plant ing interest. Whole acres of cotton were swept out of existence. At Heriot's X Roads the roaring of the agmahin 'aud coming fro~mfl Spring Hill section oItdniy ould be heard a quarter of an hour before it reached that point. It swept every thing ini its path, crops, fences and bridges. The roads around there are in an impassable condition. Sumter jDid(riet ('onference. The Sumter District Conference will meet at Bishopville on Thursday morning, the 25th July, at half-pastI 9 o'clock. The exercises will begin; the night before with a sermon by Rev. J. C. Davis. It is hoped that no member of the Conference, lay or clerical, will be absent unless by un avoidable Providential hindrance. We are expecting to have a good time in every sense. Delegates coming by rail from the direction of Columbia and Camden make close connection both ways, reaching Bishopville 8:20 P. M. and leaving 8:15 .a. t. Those from Man ning and Pinewoodi have to wait a few hours going, and from Manning returning. There will be ample ac commodations fron Adkins to Bishop yille on the Bishopville Railroad. Attractive Dresses Win Huisbanids. "You had better let me make it up for you. I know you'll catch 'a hus band if you wear it right, and you can pay the $30 after you're married. I tell you what it js, clothes are the best investment a young woman everL put her money into." That's what a Thirty-first street, New York, modiste had to say to a brown-haired young woman who wanted a new dress she could not afford, and this is what she said to the writer: "I make dozens of marrying dress es. This girl here is not bad looking, and if she were correctly dressed she; would be positively handsome. You see she carries herself nicely and she has plenty of good points, but very little money. She is going off toa fashionable watering place with some friendand I know that if she lets me make up this custard moire as I' wvishi it will be the means of getting her a husband. The toilet is 'worth $110 and I have agreed to let her have it for $80. If she marries she can pay me the $30, and if it makes no impression on the men, wvhy then I am the loser. This talk about men not caring what a woman has on is the worst kind of nonsense. They cae so continually that they havet neither eyes nor attention for their unfashionable friends. "If I had an income of tut $20 a week I would put $15 of it in clothes. Why, sakes alive! let two women enter a street car, and the one that is best dressed gets a seat every time. Clothes win, wvhethier you go to church, on a journey or only to a city shop.

You're not married, are you? But; you go out a good deal don't you? "Well, I've a piece of India salmon brocade here that I'd like- to make you for $90, and if you don't ensnare a man's affectionis the third time you; The-State's PensioInersa The present pension roll shows 1,932 accepted pensioners, with the possible increase of the list to 2,000. After deducting the per diem of the various County Pension Commission ers, amounting to some $2,450, we see a pension fund of $47,550 to be distributed among 1,932 pensioners. This would give, on the present pension, $24.60 to the pensioner. The appropriation will, therefore, fall $1.95 cents short, per month of the $3 monthly payment had in view by the Assembly. At the $3 per month rate the present pension list of 1,932 pensioners calls for $5,796 per month, which shows that payments for the eight months, including Au gust, will consume $46,368, leaving only $1,182 to be distributed in Sep tember to the pensioners, which will amount to some 61 cents a head. If it be the intention of the Assem bly to. make good this shortage in the amount appropriated to meet the $3 per month contemplated, we see that there is $11.40 per head still due on the present pension list, or a deficit $21,924.80. Should the list reach 2,000, when all applications come in, this would call for an appropriation of $72,000, which, including the above deficit, would involve a pension ap propriation next year of $93,924.80. Should our people come through the year with prosperous crops, the Assembly may have the heart to grant this sum; but if we should come out at the little end of the horn in our fields, we are afraid that the Assem bly could not be induced to provide for old scores. Yet this $93,000 to a million of people, amounting to less than nine and a half cents a year to the inhabi tant, would manifestly hurt nobody in the State. The number of pensioners in the several counties vary very considera bly. Spartanburg takes the lead with 36 male pensioners and 160 fe male, making in all 196. Greenville comes next with 29 male and 97 fe male pensioners-total 126. Ander son ranks third with 17 male and 106 female, and 123 total pensioners. The four lowest counties on the list are: Beaufort with I male pensioner -total 1; Georgetown, 2 male pen sioners-total 2; Florence 4 males, 23 females-total 27. Richland 5 males, 27 females-total 32, There are 3 colored pensioners, 1 each from Abbeville, Berkeley, and Clarendon It may be taken for granted, how ever, that everything is fair, as these applications have all met, it is said, rigid examinations. It would yet ap-. pear somewhat significant that Charleston, with her large force in the field during the war, should have but 69 pensioners on the list, whilst Spartanburg has 196 and Greenville as 126. Be this as it may, let us sot quarrel with the small sum, in any vent, so worthily given.-Columbia 7egister. The Crops in South Carolina. On the first of June the cotton ~rop in South Carolina stood at 76;! ut since that time the average has risen until it has passed by four per ~e.nt. the average of last year. The average of the corn crop is ~our per cent, above the general aver e for the Southern States, and is urpassed only by the States of Texas ge is above last year, by about three per cent., an improvement of seven per cent, since the rains set in. Of all the crope, howecver, in this State the percentage of the peach~ crop is far in the advance of all oth er products, being rated at 109. . This year must have been a re iarkable year for peaches, for we no tice that it has also been claimed,' that there has never been such a each year in Georgia, as the present year, both as to the ~size of the crop nd the quality of the fruit.---Charle.+~ ~on JBudgd, L White Maw Before a South Carolina Court for Assaulting an Indian. EDITOR MAxxLx TDIns:--In a re ent number of the .News and Courier there was a letter from a correspon lent, dated July 4, which gave an ac-' ount of the cases tried at the York rile court. Among them was one that reminds us of Colonial days. The correspondent wrote: "John Bal lard, a white man from Lincoln coun ty, N. C., was next tried for assault ing John Brown, a Catawba Indian, with intent to kill He was acquit ted." We are so accustomed to regard the Indians as an extinct race that it seems strange that a case like the above should be tried in a Southern ourt. It reminds us that here and lere will still be found remnants of ndian tribes. The Catawba reserva tion is situated in York county, and omprises less than 800 acres. Last fall the tribe nunibered 92, of which about 60 lived' on the reservation. McDos.uin FURMAN. Ramsey, Sumter Co., July 10th. A New Way to Put Up Fruit.

POWDER AbsolutelPure. *hiumeeu Mo *eooit ta h Geutierfi Pryor Wats Captured. The Yews and Courier is, we are glad to believe, wasting its breath when iv charges our old fellow citizen General Rodger A. Pryor with de sertion during the war. We have read the whole story with a desire to be historically correct in our opinion, and have deliberately reached the conclusion that the News and Corier has no case and should be ruled out of court. General Wilcox, of the Confeder ate army, who was on hand when Pryor was captured, and who invest igated the matter, declares that the accusation is "an idle one, without foundation." Captain Dudley, who captured Pryor, makes affidavit that he surrendered only when he saw that escape was impossible. Dudley, pistol in hand, said to his captive, "A word from you or a particle of redjst ance and I shall drop you." An accusation of that sort will not stick to the General. There is no truth in it whatever. It was certain ly a misfortune to be "gobbled" and pitched into Fort Lafayette, but one must have a good sized log of politi cal kindling wood in his eye to see' any evidence of desertion in the case. The war is over and we can afford to lay aside personal prejudices and be just in judgement.:-N Y Herald. The Case Against Ge,. Pryor. The New York Herald is positive that the Newn and Courier "has no case when it charges" that Gen. Roger A. Pryor deserted from the Confederate army during the war. The news and Courier has never made such a charge. It published the statement of Geu. hemphill, of Abbe ville, S. C., upon the subject, and is content to let the matter rest where the witnesses have placed it. What the Aews and Courier has said, however, is that Gen. Fryor does not represent the South upon any public question, and that his views on the tariff, the race question, the proper policy for the President to pursue in his treatment of the South, j must be accepted as Gen, Pryor's per sonal oninions in regard to matters of which he knows very little, and about which he can speak with no more au-: thority than a hundred thousand oth-1 er men who live in the North. Gen. Pryor says he did not desert from the Confederate army and has produced strong proof to sustain his assertion. He is entitled to the ben efit of whatever doubt there may be upon the subject. We only ask that he devote his attention hereafter to the practice of his profession, and that he shall not mislead the people of the k North about questions of opi.ion in which he is not directly concerned, and of whose immediate bearings he can have no knowledge. H is resi dence of more than twenty-five years in New York entitles the South to the . grace of his silence.-'News and (ou:r-' terl, .--....-.

THE Nzw Yoni STiA passed into the bat of new managers in November last, and a new corporation is now in fu possession and 'con trol of it. During the drat months of the change the improvement made in it was so pronounced that it came to be recognized at once as A hIve, Bright and Biant Newspaper. Its news columns are filled with the freshest of foreign, domestic and local news. Its edi torials are crisp, positive and bold. Its Demo cratic principles are so pronounced and ortho dox that the Democratic National Committe, on its recent reorganization, selected It" athe medium for placing its official action land utterances before the voters of the party. It urges united Democracy in nation, State and city; and is the advocate of no individual' er the organ of no faction.
