Manning Literary Club The young ladies and gentlemen interested in the formation of a Lit erary Club held their second meeting last Monday evening at the residence of Mr. 3. T. Stukes. The committee appointed at last meeting to draft a constitution and by-laws for the or ganzation made their report, which was adopted after some alterations and amendments. Immediately after the adoption of the constitution an election of offeers was gone into, with the follewing result: President, 3. M. Knight; Vice President, -Miss Lucie Barron; Secretary, Miss Marie Graves; Treasurer, I IBagnal; Critic, Miss Sadie Householder; Librarian, R B. Loryea. The Club is composed of good material and is capable of doing excellent work. The next meet ing is to be held next Monday even ing at Mr. F. N. Wilson's residence. Was Not Cowhided. Mr. J. H. King asks us to say that Mr.KH L. Slawson did not cowhide himz as we published last week that it was reported, but that it was an assault and battery with an intent to kill, and gives us the following as the facts in the case: On Sunday morning, Oct. 6th, about 9 o'clock, H. L. Slawson, accompanied by Wash Anderson, drove into his yard, and accused him of circulating a slandercus report about his (Slawson's) sister. Mr. King said he had only repeated what he had heard a number of others say. Slawson then cursed him, said he had come with the intention of killing him, and jumped out of the road cart. King told him he was sick, un able to fight him, and not responsible for the gossip of the community. Slawson then jumped on King, jerk. ed him down on the ground, and struck him with his fist several times on the head. King managed to gel up, and retreated towards his house. Siawson followed him, and as he was going up the steps, cut his hat in two places. King forbade them from en tering his house, but both Slawsor and Anderson followed him into his house, and after they got into the house Slawson struck King once or twice on his head with a shingle. Slawson and Anderson then left the ouse and went off. Mr. King's fam ly was not at home. Mr. King de sires us to say for him that had Mr. lawson approached him on another day than Sunday, or had he ap proached him in a manner different from what he did, he would have iven him any satisfaction he wantpd, and in any way that he wanted, but that he considers that a great and un ue adantae was taken of him. At the recent municipal election in Indianapolis the Democracy carried President Harrison's ward with a gain of 248 votes. "This result," says the Detroit Free Press, "verifies the old saying that we sometimes dis trust people because we don't know them, but oftener because we do." The woodland of the United States now covers 450,000,000 acres, or about 26 per cent of the land area. Of this not less than 25,000,000 acres are cut over annually, a rate of de struction that will bring our forests to an end in eighteen years if there is no replanting. While the wood grow ing annually in the forests of the United States amounts to 12,000,000, 000 cubic feet, the amount cut annu ally is 24,000,000,000 cubic feet, and this does not include a vast amount destroyed by fire. The country's sup ply of timber, therefore, is being de pleted at least twice as fast as it is being reproduced, and this is another way of showing that a timber famine is approaching rapidly. Do you suffer with catarrh? You can be cured if you take Hcod's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier. - Sold by all druggists. A Georgia Lunatic Murdered. SAvmxsAH, Ocr. 19.-Last Sdnday Shadrack Walthour, a negro prisoner in Liberty -county's jail, was found dead. Walthour was one of the suc cessors of the false Messiah, who set four hundred of the negroes in Lib erty crazy last June and July. Shad rack proclaimed himself King Solo mon and was arrested as a lunatic and jailed. An inquest was held on his body on Monday. Two negro pris oners, one of whom was his cellmate, swore that Deputy Sheriff Dean kill ed Solomon by striking him with brass knuckles because he was reading the Bible too loud. The negro's skull was fractured. Dean disap peared and the solicitor-general has no information of his capture. The case will be investigated by the grand jury. Judge Lynch vs. Judge Law. For pure "cussedness" human na ture has some streaks of exquisite de sign. Put twelve men in a jury :box and they will refuse to hang a man although the proof of his guilt covers him with the hue of Hades. Join them to a lynching-bee party and they will vote the accused-innocent or guilty-to death with relentless determination. It is owing to this unaccountable idiosyncrasy that the balance is kept pretty even between the legal hangings that don't occur and the illegal hat ings that do. Judge Lynch is more potent than Judge Law.-Charleston Sun. Negro Supremacy at Harvard College. Bosros, October 19.-The senior class of Harvard College has elected Clement Garrett Morgan, a colored man, as class orator. The election was hotly contested, but Morgan re ceived a substantial majority, about 270 men voting. He entered college with little means, and during his freshman year worked at gid hours in a barber shop. Since then his rank as a student has brought him beneficiary money from the college. Last year as a competitor for the Boyleston prizes he carried his audi ence by storm and won the first place. The Daughter of the LConfederacy. NEW Ona..s, Oct. 19.-Scarcely any young lady in the country is bet ter known by reputation than Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, but more generally known as the "Daughter of the Confederacy." This young lady leaves on Tuesday next for New York, whence she will in a few days sail for Europe. Miss Davis goes as the guest of Mrs. Pu litzer, of New York, who takes her abroad in the hope of restoring her to health. For the past year, or, in fact, since she made her tour of the Northern States, Miss Davis has not been in good health. Her eyesight troubles her seriously, and she suffers from a constant pain in the side. All literary work and even reading has been abandoned. It is thought that six months at the health resorts of Germany, prefaced by a winter on the Riviera, will restore her to perfect health. Her mother is in New Or leans to-day making arrangements for Miss Winnie's departure for New York. How she Did It. Chicago School Teacher-Does any little boy or girl know the poem about Old Mother Hubbard ? Little Girl (from Boston)-I do. Teacher-Very well, you may re cite it for the others. Little Girl--Aged Mother Hub bard performed that particular style of voluntary locomotion known as waking in the direction of the recep tacle in which provisions were wont ,to be kept, for the purpose of provid ing for her faithful canine a portion of the frame of a. body. But, upon arriving at the aforesaid receptacle, what was her dismay upon discover ing that it was in a state of absolute nudity.-Lawrence Americ-an. The Greatest Corn Crop Ever Grown In South Carolina. (Charleston Worl, Ocd. 23.) Over twenty million bushels of corn!. That's the yield for South Carolina for 1889. It's the biggest yield since the war. Captain "Barefoot" Brown, the ge nial castodian of the museum of the Agricultural Department, stated to the World represantative to-day that the reports from correspondents all over the State have been collated and show that the yield for the season just past is 20,700,000 bushels, an un precedentedly large crop. The next largest crop made in South Carolina since the war was in 1882 when the yield reached 17,000,000 bushels. This remarkable crop would have reached to 22,000,000 had it not been for freshets and overflows. It shows that the farmers of the State are, gen erally speaking, in a prosperous con dition. According to this estimate of the crop, which is official, there would be about twenty bushels of corn to each man, woman, and child in the State if it were equally dividled.

The case mentioned as coming be fore the Trial Justice's court last Tuesday, was continued at the mo tion of the plaintiff. It will, be heard in Manning in the near future. F. Bonanza News. BOxNAza, Oct. 22.-We have not been able for some time to pick up any items of news that would inter est your readers. Neither have we any now. IMiss Minnie Strange, of Wilsons, Ivisited Mrs. Cannon last week at Bon anza, and spent a few days, which was greatly enjoyed by us. We visited Manning on the 14th, and entered the office of the Tnrrs, but we did not find any one in there, not even a glimpse of his satanic maj est, which latter personage we do not regret not finding at home as we are not desirous of forming his ac quaintance. Business is dull generally. Weather continues fine for harvesting. In a school somewhere a week or so ago, the teacher asked some one in the class to correct the sentence, "Why do you laugh loud ?" A bright boy near the foot of the class prompt Letter from Greeleyville. Editor Manning Times:-A few light frosts have served to check vegetable growth, and the succeeding rise in temperature tells us that the Indian Summer is upon us. We enjoy the warm sunshine, glowing sunsets, and delicious atmosphere, without the fear of malaria or expense of a voyage to Italy. Farmers are gathering the fruits of their toil. Food crops are more prolif ic than usual, and, thanks to the Far mer's Alliance, owners of gins prepare cotton for market, and deliver it to railroads ready for transportation, for less money than ever b'efore. In some places wagon roads have received more attention than usual, and when men get their minds well off the jute and tariff questions, it is hoped they will then abate the nui sance of bad roads, which, after all, is a greater tax upon farmers than jute and tariff combined. The portion of Black river within Williamsburg county is now crossed by four bridges. Soon another will be built at "Bland's Old Ferry," where Marion's men crossed and got ahead of the British in their-retreat after the battle at the "Lower Bridge." This last bridge was so called to distin guish it from the bridge higher up the stream at Kingstree. Recently a negro man went from this- section to Manning carrying with him a few dollars. He returned with his system and a flask well charged with whiskey, and an empty pistol. In meddling with a mule his flask was emptied, but his system was not so fortunate. Pistols and flasks are harmless things in themselves. The evil lies in the loading and un loading, always excepting a mule's way of unloading a flask. When men, pistols, and whiskey get well nixed up together, the pistols charged with lead and powder, and the men with whiskey, .the combination beats jute tariff and bad roads all to pieces. "Woe be to him who puts the bottle to his neighbor's mouth." Latterly there has been a large number of cases of illness than usual in this section. Mrs. W. J. Ferrell died last Sunday after months of suf fering from cancer of the stomach. A large concourse attended her bur ial at Mount Hope Baptist church, the funeral services being conducted by her pastor Rev. W. H. Workman. Mrs. DuBose is quite sick at the home of her mother, Mrs. Nettles. Her disease is pronounced typho-ma larial fever, contracted at her home in Darlington county. Owing to an attack of sickness, Miss Alvena Keels has suspended the exercises of her school at Greeleyville. Mr. Tom Ho gan has been suffering with a catarrh al affection, but is now better. Rev. J. S. Porter has just closed an interesting and edifying religious meeting at St. Mirks. The home at Hopedale is now en livened by the cheering presence of two of Manning's fair maidens, Misses Lou Huggins and Fannie Burgess. ' J. M.B. Greeleyville, S. C., Oct. 19, 1889. F.

Five prominent gentlemen from different sections of the county will be requested to give away the prizes in the following man ner, which is exactly the same plan used at our last Grand Gift Distribution the 4th of last July: These gentlemen will place in one box a number of tickets equal to the number of subscribers who have paid up to Sep. 1, 1890, all of which tickets will be blank ex cept the prize tickets. They will then place in another similar box an equal number of tickets, containing the names of the paid up subscribers, one name on each ticket. After the tickets have been carefully inspected and placed in the boxes, they will be thor oughly shaken up and mixed together, un til the committee is satisfied that everything is fair and just. Then the drawieri'll begin. Two little boys about four or five years old will be blindfolded, and one will draw from the box containing the names of the paid up subscribers and the other from the box containing the tickets. The com mittee will at every'drawing (one from each box) inspect the tickets that have been drawn and announce the result. For in stance, suppose the little boys have each drawn a ticket from their respective boxes. The name drawn by one little boy is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawii by the other is a blank. That means Mr. A. Loseum has failed to secure a prize. The little boys draw again. The name is Lucky Fellow, and the prize ticket has $10 in gold on it., That means Mr. L. Fellow has secured the $10 in gold for his prize. The drawing will thus continue till all the prizes have been given away. . This plan seems to us as fair as possible, and to have the least objections. Our sub scribers may rest satisfied that everything will be done in fairness. MANNING'S BOOM.
