THE MANNING TMS. ianiii, S. CL S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, Januar 15,1890. Cardinal James Gibbons is making a tour through the South in the inter est of the Catholic church. He was in Charleston last Sunday. A tornado passed through New York, Illinois, Kansas, and other States, last Monday, killing and wounding a large number of people, destroying buildings, blowing a train off the track, etc. The Governor has offered a reward of $500 for the man who conducted the last lynching party in Barnwell, an account of which is published, in this paper. This was such an atrocious deed, we presume he will be caught and hung. b4 THE WHISKEY QUESTION. In another column will be found an article on the consumption of li quor, which we publish by request. The writer takes the ground that the love of money, the root of all evil, is the cause of liquor selling, and we think he is near the truth. We know of no other reason for inducing anyone to engage in the tr/lic. The writer of that article says if the revenue tax be removed, the cost will be only nomi nal, and drunkennesss will decrease. We agree with this, too. For the first few years all the old confirmed sots would drink and drink and drink again, till they had killed themselves, and their course would be so very disgusting to the balance of humanity that the use of whiskey would be very small The remedy would be pretty tough on the old topers, but they are of little good any way, and the world can afford to lose them. The rising generation would be a comparativ ely sober set. The argument is a good one. But, alas, the sentiment of the people of this grand government is not with the writer of that article. and he will probably never see his plana adopted. The last Legislature passed an Act, requiring all infantry companies to drill at least twelve times a yeai and one hour each time, or the company will be disbanded. Cavalry compa nies must drill at least four times a year. Not loss than sixteen men must be present. We will publish the law entire very soon. GOV. RICHARDSON CRITICISED. We publish below two articles, one from the Charleston WorU and the other from the Sumter Watchman, in which Governor Richardson is criti ' for hsato nrfrnet h c e ar ase amount of the rewards is concerned that is a totally indifferent matter. Those lynchers, every one of them, are as safe from punishment for their crime, as is the Governor himself. As we have stated before, it is known in the town of Barnwell who every one of the lynchers are, and their ac tion is either approved or connived at by the people of the town and county of Barnwell. They believed that the existing state of affairs de manded heroic treatment, and it was by the consent and advice of the "best" people of Barnwell that the 'deed was done. This is our honest opinion, arid, we believe it is the opinion of a large majory of the peo ple of the Stte, the Governor includ ed. Such being the case what can the law do? Suppose detectives were employed, and that the State could and did make out a clear case against a dozen or more citizens of that county, would conviction follow? Would not the juries bring in a ver dict of not guilty, or make a mistrial? We think our contemporaries are mistaken in thinking the Governor has offered a small reward. It is just as easy to convict twenty as one, and twenty convictions would be $4,000, a very fair sum. The reward in this case, as the World and Watchman must admit, and as probably the Governor believes, is merely formal. No one will ever get it. But, now, when the Watchman says the Governor ought to investigate the conduct of the sheriff of Barnwell, we are with him. Judge Kershaw had ordered that sheriff to guard the jail, and if the niggardly county commis sioners refused to furnish the fnids to pay the guards, then he should have at once taken proper steps to re move the prisoners to another county. We believe the sheriff to a large ex tent responsible for this lynching, and that Governor Richardson should, if it is in his jurisdiction, see that this sheriff be punished for his wan ton neglect of duty. The law is all right. The Govern or is not at all to blame in this mat ter. It is the sentiment of Barnwell county. They uphold th'e deed, and they are a sovereign preople. Below will be found what the World and the Watchman have to say on this subject:________ Lgumter Watchman andi iSoutron.3 The Barnweli Butchery and 610v. Rich ardson. In its issue of the 2nd inst., the Charles ton World says editorially: oovwaoE mZcHAnosos's REwARSDs. Governor Richardson's action in offering a reward of two hundred dollars for each arrest and conviction in connection with the Barnwell outrage shows our Chief Executive to be either a man of the most aggravated most subtle sense of humor. The Govern or's conduct in this case reminds one of the { big sky-rocket in "Huipty Dumpty," which after making a terrific fuss, finally fizzles out without doing the slightest harm, while the innocent-looking little rocket which does not appear to be capable of anything start ling, explodes with a terrific and very brsi ness-like "bang." Had the Governor really wished to bring those Barnwell county misereants tojustice, he would have acted in an entirely differen I manner. It is, perhaps, idle to suggest how he might have devised ways and means to effect the arrest of at. least the principal of fenders, as he has apparently already made up his mind that the lynehers shall not be punished through any eftort of his. Besides, any man who is considpred to be possessed of sutlicient intelligence to hold the office of Governor of South Carolina for two successive terms, is presumed to know enough of the ordinary atfairs of life to ena ble him to see things as tht masses of the people see them. Governor Richardson's"position" in the Barnwell matter is very much on a par with his action in the Clemson-college-bequest acceptance matter. In both cases his con-I duct was characterized by an apparent fear of committing himself too decidedly to either side until after he had an opportuni ty to see "how things were going." In other words, it was what is known among politic ians as shilly-shallying, or dodging the is sue. If Governor Richardson thinks that by this means he is advancing the interests of the State, he is terribly mistaken. As a matter of fact, his ridiculous pronuncia mento has already given rise to jokes in the northern papers on the probable condition of the South Carolina treasury, and our Gov ernor will realize some day how much harm he has really done this State by his lack of stamina on this and previous occasions. Weil, in this instance, at least, the econo mists will not be able to accuse the Govern or of having squandered the State's money in rewards for lynchers. I The Wx-id is disposed to be rather too se vere on our amiable Governor. We do not doubt that Gov. Richardson has done pre cisely what he was advised to do in this de plorable crisis. He did not offer much in the way of rewards for the apprehension of the murderers for the reason, perhaps, that $200 would be as effectual for the purpose as '$2,000. In either case there would be no man to earn the money. We cannot see that the smallness of the amount offered indicates any indifference or lukewarmness on the part of the Gov ernor. He deplores the outrage as much as any man. "He himself has said it" and the World is most unkind when it implies that the Governor [entertains any other feeling than a sincere and earnest desire to have the perpetrators of the atrocious deed pun ished. "His position" in regard to this af fair, as chief executive of the State, as Chris tian man, and as citizen and patriot cannot be doubted. Any doubts would be insult ing to him. He has done a part of what he ought to do. He has followed the prece dents of his office, and put his name with the great seal of the State at the foot of the usual proclamation "in such cases made I and provided." This perfunctory act wipes the blood from his skirts. lie migit have done more. Uie might ha~ve "broken" that negligent Sheriff, whose careless disregard! for the safety of those whom the law com mitted to his custody and whose neglect to ado,.. r for the protecon of his Spiisoners after the special order of the C urt enjoining unon him to do so either by guarding the ja I in which they were co:2 z or transfeiring them to a jail in some othe: county, has made him a crimi ~a-a paortaker in the crime of midnight ,anwins. The Governor might have done that, but he has not. This Sheriff of Barn well ought to be made an example of to~ teach others in the same ofiice that the law will not hold him guadess whose criminal neglect renders possi ie the violent death nymnin his custody. Moreover, the Governigt'empoys fde Tteciives Ito ferret out the murderers-we believe he h4 that power. Somne Governors could make it so hot for these lynchers that they would be either compelled to leave a coun try they have disgraced or stand a trial be fore the Courts whose functions they have madly usurped. But tais awful crime, hei nous as it is, has its apologists. Then why should Governor Richardson offend them Iby any such vigorous and extraordinary measures ? His proclamation is before the people. That is what Governors usually do, and we firmly believe that Gov. Rich ardson in this case will pay every 'cent of the reward to any man who will justly earn it. I With these views of our Goverinor's "action in the premises" we earnestly deprecate the fault-finding editorial of the Wor'l. Such editorials might call the attention of ?0ed or the old Judg~e to our Governor's procla mation, and the proclamation with the great seal and all would be reproduced in those abominably funny papers much to our Ichagrin. We earnestly beg that the World will take it back and make a New Year's res olution never to indulge in any more such impertinences. Another Lynching in Barnwell. BiszrL Jan. 11.-About a year ago William Black, a young negro of about 20 years of age, broke into the house of anoth er negro living on the place of Dr. A. W. Bailey, near Ellenton. lHe was apprehend ed, brought to trial, and on arraignment pleaded guilty. He served his sentence, ar rived in Barnwell last Tuesday, and was making his way to his mother's house along the Barnwell Court House and Steele Creek Road, when, arriving at Mr. James Ben nett's house and observing no on e around, he stole two coats and other articles, which were quickly missed by the owner. A war rant was issued by Trial Justice 'T. S. Dun bar and pla ced in the hands of a good and trusty negro for execution. He went in. search of his man, and met him in the cus tody of Dave Ready and another white man, Iwho had already arrested him. Ready had his prisoner tied, and when the negro con stable met them he turned about with them to go to the justice. The four, the two white men, the negro constable and the negro prisoner, had not proceeded far together when Read3, who was under the influence of whiskey, said that he intended having a lynching of his own, and thereupon took the negro pris oner on the side of the road and bound him to a tree and shot him to death. Why the other white man and negro did not try to prevent it I could not learn. Ready imme diately left and the last that was heard of him he was in Augusta. Pimples. blotches. scaly skin, ugly spots. sores and uleers, abscesses and tum'ac, un healthy discharges. sw1 ::.., catarrh, eczema, ringworm, and other fo.cus of skin diseases, are symptoms of blood in.puritv. Take Dr. 3. HMLa's Sarsaparilla. No need to take those big cathartic pills; one of Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets is quite sufficient and more agreeable. IFaults of digestion cause disorders of the liver and the whole system becomes derang ed. Dr. J. 11. McLean's Sarsaparilla porfects the process of digestion and assimilation, and thus makes pure blood. Even the most vigorous and hearty people have at times a feeling of weariness and las situde, To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. HI. McLean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigor and vitality. The most delicate constitution can safely use Dr. J. H. McLean's tar wine lung bal sam. It is a sure remedy for coughs, loss of voice, and all throat and lung troubles. For a safe and certain remedy for fever and ague, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe waristan Observer.] Increased Consumption of Liquor. "L.," in the last Obserer, laments the 1889 increase in use of liquors, putting it at $50,000,000. He says: "In secret, tears will fall and hearts aehe, because the government coff rs are some what fuller than they were a ,ear ago. Thus speaks the PhilVdelphia P and we way add that the above increase of fifty millions of dollars is inore than three times our entire contribution, as a nation, for Foreign Missions." He assigns no cause; be offers no remedy. 1. WnAT IS THE CASE? It is the love of money which is the "root of all evil." If the influences for good had noth ing to contend with but the love of drink, the battle would not be hard; but only the ploughshares of the Al mighty can break the "root of all evil." It is the love of money, and not the love of drink, which has made the Government one vast distillery and brewery; which has made it the part ner and the master of every manufac turer and seller of strong drink. Here, at last, is a "league with death and a covenant with hell." This ex pression was thought, by very many, to be misapplied in times past, but the application is a fit one here. The men of all parties condone the league now, simply because the Gov ernment must have money. Some few think that it is in the interest of temperance, but that is because the lovers of the money have made them believe so. The oflice seeker and boldr, the pension seeker and draw er, not only pardon, but advocate it. The protectionist wants it, because he does not want a tariff for revenue only. The whiskey maker wants it, because without the tax on it, and the consequent prolit in it, his business would be gone. Therefore he has in vested millions in it, and when you assail it, he is ready to spend millions in its defence. Therefore the Gov ernment has placed the gauger and the collector, with the Government lash, at the back of every manufac turer. "Make the liquor of the strength I require; make the number of gallons I demand," is the sternfial. "If you do not, then pay me as if you had," is the relentless penalty enforced by arrests, prosecutions, fines, chains, confiscations. Here is one business in which laziness might be a crown of glory to a man; but the Government has no use for a lazy distiller. In this state of affairs, there would be overproduction if consumption did not increase, and this would be a less to the Government. Therefore consumption must be stimulated and increased. Therefore the agents and partners of the Goveruweut are mak ing drinkers out 0 the bovs and the wLomeu, and meu who were ouce sober and steady. For more drunkards are necessary as a market for overproduc tion. Tears are sad; sighs and groans and poverty and wretchedness are pitiful; but Government losses are sadder still. Why, then, bewail the increase of consumption of drinks? You cer tainly cannot be in favor of free whis key."To which ever party you belong, you vote to continue the business, and shrewdly so, for "there are millions in it."- . - - ofialescrable too! Disgraceful, indeed, is the calling of the moon shiner, who comes with his little kegs and his ste~ers, his rickety wagon, with its white covers flapping in the Christ mas winds as he crosses some pine fringed mountain top, on his way to the boys who are waiting in the valley for the drinks that pay no tribute. Put him in prison. Take his belong ings from him. He is a dirty dog. But the man who makes his seven hundred barrels a day, is a legislator, a senator, a high dignitary in soe church that is bewailing with the Philadelphia P'resbyteri~a, the increase in the. consumption of alcoholic drinks. T'he breweries of Bismiarck are proofs of his thrift; but the half filled kegs of the moonshiner are evidences of is total depravity. Therefore, lament no longer. Let the good work go on. Widen the market. Increase the number of con sumers of intoxicating liquor. Train the boys and girls to love it from their infancy. If you are a patriot, you should drink it heavily yourself. Thus only can we have money enough and to spare. II. TULE RE~iIEDY. If, after all, you really think the consumption of alcoholic drinks is an evil which should be diminished, then, if the majority were agreed, the rem edy would not be far to seek. It consists simply in divorcing the love of money from the love of whis key. Make the business unprofitable. Take the Government out of it. Re rove the tax. Dismiss the gauger and collector. Say to every man, "Whiskey and brandy and drinks are free for all. Make what you want. Drink what you please. Give liquor to your wife and your child and your neighbor, if your peculiar ideas of personal liberty and right lead you to think it is good for them." But add this fierce and stern in-: junction: "Remember, there is to be no n oncy int it. If you sell or barter or exchangt so much as a drink of it to your relative, or neighbor, or friend, or a stranger, for money or its equiv alent, the felon's doom awaits von." If this were done with the author ity of Government, State and Feder al, by an equal and uniform law, we would hear no more lamentations over the increase in the consumption. of alcoholic liquov. The re.n whfo wvanted1 to use it in the, arts or in medicine or as a bever age, could make it for himself. A very ignorant man can do that. The personal liberty argument would be heard no more. The pauperizing effect also would be gone, for it costs little to make it, and inebriate asylums and commit tees should be provided, as ought to have been done in every State long ago, to take care of the persons and estates of those who habitually "put an enemy into their mouths, to steal away their brains." Such institutions at present, you! see, would interfere with the business and profits of the Government, and therefore they are inadmissible.I Instead of wasting time, labor and breath in vain efforts to whip the money power with prohibition and. United States, and in every State sucl as is outlined above, and the bottonj will drop out of the beer tub and thE whiskey barrel. Even the moonshiner would no' drive far to risk a felon's cell, witI apple brandy at twenty-five cents, and corn and rye whiskies at fifty cent per gallon, which is more than cost and no sales being permitted even ai those prices. The occupation of the whiskey rin: would be gone like that of Othello and the millions of the capitalist in vested in the business would, so far a, they survived the crash which migh speedily follow if the country doe not taper off gradually, be quickl driven into more useful channels. Think about this. If there is fallacy in it, point it out. If none then pass the thought around and im prove upon it. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS, S. A. NETTLES. A NEW FoM OF Pix-Crsmo.-Thos< who have grown tired of the squar pin-cushion, will be pleased to know something new has come up in th< shape of a pin-cushion. The three bags joined together with a large bow appear to furnish the bureau, an give it a tasteful appearance. The cushions for the bags are made sepa rately; they measure five inches eac. way, are made of some soft muiin, and filled with sawdus which been sifted, and the liner it is the bci ter. The outside cau be made of bill satin or plush, all of the same color, or each bag of different colors that blend well together. Pink, blue., and cream-color form a pretty coibina tion, and can be used in either a pinI -r a blue room. Make the outside an inch longer than the bags or cushions, slip them in the coverings, and tie them together at the top. Fisten a large bow of several loops and enJs at the top. If the bUys are of difl'cr ent colors, the how should be tri-col oied also. Some pin-cushions arc made of one .rgc bag; the top trim med with lace.--buron rd To prevent siarcl from stieking, wash enough soap in starch to make a lather.

There is nc doubt in the world that a thoroughly clean kitchen is one of the heathiesi and cherriest places to be found. Ev ery house ought to be clean from eel lan to roof, but the kitchen should be particularly so. It is the place wherE the food that is to maintain the humar body is prepared. Any dust or cob webs or vile odors about the kitece are sure to get into the food and sc help to poison the human victims fcd thereon. But the breath of a kitcher fire and of healthy cooking are as 'u vigorating as anything short of an ocean breeze.-- oum's Itk..

A small piece of the pine board eight by ten inches rests on the cross piece, and may serve to hold cards. Cover the top and this piece with plush. Gild a piece of new roipe and tack it around the edges; a piece of lighter weight is used on the lower board. The top andi under shelf should be screwed on be fore covering. Fringe may be used instead of the rope. Large bows of satin ribbon are tied where the legt cross. HOW TO MIAEE A CHEAP AND) PR:ETT TID.-Take small pieces of white canton flannel cut in circular shape, and run a thread around the edge and draw np. This forms a pui.
