We were passing the bank yester
day and saw a beautiful calla lily in

J. G. Dinkisis & Co. and be fitted with a pair

Mr. H. B. Tindal was in town Sat

A little boy attending one of the
schools in town was requested the
other day by the teacher to bring

He very politely complied with the
request, and after teacher and pupils
had quenched their thirst, the teach
er said to the little boy: "Who as
sisted you n drawing the water ?"
"Nobodly, ma'am, I just dipped it up
out of the horse trough."
Just received from New York full line of
epring millinery. Miss Rlichardson, Sum

-Wiggins predicted tihe storm we
ad last Saturday, but he has predict
ed so often and failed that very few
people had any confidence in him.
Our solicitor, however, feared that,
in case the storm should come, a
moustache of the immensity of the
one that he was carrying would be a
dangerous appendage for a cyclone to
strike, and with his usual thoughtful
ness had his facial ornament shaved
off just in time.
M. Levi has a counter filled with rem
nants of dry goods, which he will sell re
gardless of cost. Ladies are specially in
vited to call and examine them.
A few days ago a little red-haired
boy of this town came running up to
his father and said: "Papa, my teach
er gave me a first grade certificate to
day: please, sir, give me a nickle for
some candy." The gentleman feeling
gratified at the result of his offspring's
progress with his studies gave the lit
tle fellow the nickel without looking
at the paper just handed him. In a
few minutes he looked at what he sup
posed to be a certificate, and amusing
it was to see the smile leave his coun
tenace when he discovered the paper
to be a bill for tuition, but by this
time the little hopeful was enjoyimg
his candy. A gentleman who hap
pened to witness this little joke, re
,narked: "That boy is a chip off of
the old block, and I'll bet an extra
nickel that you will get your nickle
bak by beating Kalisky out of one
of his 'Royal Wreath' cigars beforo
the day is out."
M. Kalisky has just received 500 lbs. of
Armour hams, which he will guarantee and

purpose of electing delegates to the
County Alliance and other business.
Just about now the court house of
ficials are busily engaged in wonder
ing how much longer the terrible
pressure of nothing to do is going to
last.
Home Branch Alliance met last
Saturday, and elected C. R. F. Baker,
T. A. Bradham, W. H. Bradham, and
A. P. Hill delegates to the county al
liance.
The storm throughout the State last
Saturday was very severe, and in ad
dition to a considerable loss of prop
erty, several lives were lost. No spec
ial damage was done in this county,
as far as we have heard.
Mr. Bennie Cobia, near Davis, made
a narrow escape last week from a large
hound that had hydrophobia. Mr.
Cobia met the hound in the road, but
managed to avoid him. His dog, how
ever, was bitten. The hound was killed
near Fulton.
The authorities at Columbia have
commenced the disbnrsement of the
pension fund, and although no checks
have been sent to this county as yet,
they are expected to arrive in a few
days. Each pensioner will receive a
check for $12.61.
Mr. D. G. Shorter, one of the old
landmarks of this county, had his
cotton house robbed of two bales of
cotton. It is not known just when
the robbery was committed, as it was
only found out a few days ago. It
would be a good thing if the thief
could be caught.
Mr. J. Elbert Davis, out county
business agent, went to Charleston
Monday night to push up his orders
with the guano manufacturers. He
returned this morning, and says that
he caused several car loads of guano
to be shipped at once, and thinks that
by this time they have arrived at their
destination, and he has the promise of
an immediate shipment of the balance
of his orders.
The Quarterly Conference of the
Methodist church was held last Satur
day. Rev. J. S. Beasley, presiding
elder, was present and preached Sat
urday and twice Sunday. The report
of the stewards showed that the
church was well up in financial mat
ters. The delegates elected to the
District Conference, to be held ~in
this place next July, are: J. W. Mc
Leod and J. F. Rhame, and S. A.
Nettles, ex officio; the alternates are
P. G. Benbow and W. G. King.
Trial Justice Benbow has been en
gaged to-day in hearing a case enti
fed Newman & Mims against R B.
Garland for the sum of fifty-three
dollars for one wagon sold by W. M.
Mayes, agent. It appears that Mayes
sold the wagon to Garland, and col
lected $25 as part payment on same,
after having been requested by New
man not to pay Mayes any money, as
the wagon belonged to Newman &
Mims, and not Mayes. The defend
ant claimed that after waiting about
three weeks for Newman & Mims to
serve some legal process on him stop
ping the money in his hands, and not
receiving any such process he paid at
Mayes's request the sum of $25. The
plaintiffs claim that the defendant did
wrong in paying Mayes, and sued the
defendant for the whole amount
agreed upon for the sale of the wagon..
After argument by J. F. Rhame, Esq.,
for the defendant, and J. T. Green,
Esq., of the Sumter bar, for plaintiffs,
the jury returned a verdict of $28 for
plaintiffs.
The Town Council.
As the time approaches for the election of
a new town council we hear the question
asked, "Who are going to be the members
of the new council ?"
This question is well worth considering,
and it behooves the citizens of Manning to
look about them for the proper men to fill
the municipal offices, and not wait until the
election has been held and the oficeers in
stalled, before the "kicking" exercises are
resorted to. If you do not take enough in
terest in the affairs of your town to speak
out before the election, then hold your peace
ater the election.
It has been suggested on the streets that
a public me.ting be called for the purpose
of discussag men and objects. It has also
been said that there is no necessity for a
meeting, but let the candidates go into the
elecion in a sort of "helter skelter" way,
and the best men 'will win. It is for the
citizens to say whether they are indifferent
or not.
The position of Intendant or Warden is
not a very desirable one, and very few like
losing the time from their private business
to devote to the publi. interests, yet at the
same time we are confident that there are
some who have the welfare of the town at
heart, and wonld willingly serve on the,
council if they saw a disposition on the part
of the people themselves that their services
were wanted. Such men, however, are not
going to allow their names to be used in a
scramble race, nor are they going to say'
"nominate me," but if the people who
should be interested in this matter want
them to serve and will indicate it in a prop
er manner we feel satisfied that these men
wil not turn a deaf ear to the call of their
fellow citizens.

News from Silver.
Sn~vni, March 24.-1,*ltor .)uing Tina
What a temptation to write ! but what to
write very often suggests iitelf on this wise:
Is it prudent at all tins to tell dl yiu
know ? To write up news reqiires no ordi
nary tigure head. We hear 5.o imany it:n
talk; we see so wany good thiins the 'ni:s
ought to have: vtt prudeow seems to be a
prevailing virtue. Well, 'we te so c.nti
tuted as to have an opinion of our own, and
frequently we some times do things ourown
vav, the-rel giving the news just as e
tind it.
Our comiuniity for sone time has been
terrilbly excited over a ly factoiy. unt we
have lost our laurels. This in L mearure
has been quietel.
I learn to-day an effort is being put for
ward to incorporate a prohibition platik in
our next primary. What say you? Do you
think this move wise or unwise ? What will
the church say ? This is food for thought..
My impression is prohibition will riot pro
hibit. It is believed by some that such a
move would overthrow the Democratic par.
ty. Has prohibition ever succeeded any
where? our faeile pen can give us your
iews.
I had an examining visit over the Sutm
erton railroad avenue on Wednesday last.
Dur friends down there are in earnest as to
their coming town. Summerton really looks
town-like. Col. Utsey was there, not only
in the interests of the C. S. & N. Railroad,
but he was much interested in Sunmerton.
Ur. George Bruner likewise added much by
leveling the avenue and surveying that pfrt
which goes across Taw Caw Swamp. I think
it was unfortunate that the oil mill failed
ust at the time it did. Such a business en
:erprise would certainly give more vim to
he town than almost any other enterprises
:hat they have yet undertaken.
Capt. Jno. C. Lanham has been given the
position of overseer over the new public
tDghway recently declared public by the
3onnty commissioners. A good appointment,
;o say many of the citizens, but by no means
a very enviable one. Mr. Lanham has been
nuch interested, and carries a very laudable
record for his untiring efforts to build up
Summerton.
It really looked on Saturday afternoon as
f the wonderful storm prediction of Pro
ressor Wiggins, the prophet, had come true.
k dark cloud from the south-west, about 3
>'clock in the afternoon, gathered thick
mnd heavy. It blew a blizzard, uprooting
trees and doing considerable damage. The
rain fell in great torrents. Tihe earth was
well saturated.
Lightning struck the house of Mr. C. T.
Tenkipson, splitting it open, and seriously
wounding Mrs. Jenkinson. Also tearing the
hoe off the foot of Mr. Furman Jenkinson.
Much speculation is rife in reference to
,he fruit trees-no blooms. Can you or any
:orrespondent give the cause? In nany
places the trees are dying. From my per
onal knowledge there will be no fruit in
this section. My impression is the early 1
Fall-sown oat erops are materially inj ired.
Silver and the surrounding commumity is
leeply sad in the death of Mrs. S. E. Duck
Att. Mrs. Duckett was the eldest daughter
)f W. M. Butler, of this place. With a
bright future before her, being married only
x few months, she has been stricken down
in the very prime of her young life, leaving
a bright record of a pure christian life. A
arge circle of relatives and devoted friends
took her remains to the family burying
round, and laid garlands on her grave with
nany tears of weeping.
"Angels thronged her chariot wheel,
And bore her soul to the throne;
Then swept their golden harps and sung,
The glorious work is done."

The Last of the Tramp.
Mn. Enrroit:-Here goes for a description
of last week's tramp. We are not an artist,
to know where to begin, to describe him,
but, however, nevertheless, we will corm
mence with the frock coat, guiltless of but
tons (except two in the rear where they
were of no earthly use) with half a frock
gone, and the remainder of the garment,
mottled like unto the celebrated coat that
got Joseph into a hole, was fatstened at the
neck with a glittering horse-shoe nail. A
pair of pants fantastically fringed with rag
ged ends, which bore the brands of many
a camp fire. Their original color had long
stuck to the overpowering forces of wind
and weather, mud and grease. Below the
fantastic fringe work appeared a pair of
eet incasod in a boot and a shoe. The
shoe had evidently seen better days and
seemed to shrink with humilated pride
from the forced companionship of the boot.
The shoe was long, narrow, and pointed.
The toe of the boot had an air hole in it ex
tending clean across the upper, and was
coarse and stubby. The boot was in proud
possession of a heel, while the shoe had
none. In glaring contrast to this tatt--r
ed attire, the hat that completed the picture
was a new straw affair, and looked like a
bright, fresh, shingle roof, clapped on a
very old, dilap~idated building. The face
beneath the hat was round and plump, very
dirty, quite keen, and embossed with a
thick stubby beard. As the figure ap
proaches, boot, shoe, pants, coat, and face
seem to blend into one animated object, I
while the bran new hat kept calling out,
like a side show man on a fair ground,
"Here we are; head us, and head us quick!"
Now you have us ! An epitome of hard
times ! A parody on a financial breakdown!
A caricature on the fat of the land. What
ain't rags is dirt, and what ain't dirt is bugs!
We're the remnant of other days. We're
the break-up-of-a-hard..winter. That's whati
we are, and we want you tto know it. Here's

We regard it as a great significant fact
that lumber men from the Northwvest should
have come to this vicinity and purchased
forty square miles of swamp land, and are
still calling for more. Lands that we're 11
nancially valuele.ss twvo years ago have been
sold for an average of three dollars per acre,
and are now "stiff " in the hands of holder
at four dollars. The number of these pro
spectrs is larger than any. even the wellI
informed, know, and every week new arri
als are registered. It meas that the eyes
of the most energetic. wideawake. and pro
gressive people of this country, the cit'
zens of the great Northwest, are turnedm
this direction, and they are availing them
selves of th- opportunities to which our
own people seem singularly oblivious, of

properly be called a tornadO than a yelon('e
All the trees blown driwn are lying in tIh
same dire-.ctioni with their tops to the tiIIhIi
(ast, showing tilLt the wind camne steadily
from the soul th-we'st. The dark and omii
nou,-ook~ing exl which suddh-ily aid,
its appearane: in that directi.n hardly gav<
any warning (i ts approach, as it was upor
lis in the twinkling i' an tey. The ver.v
first gust of wind was a gale, sc that inany
ptrsons who wer caugLt out in it had t<
seek sneh placws of refuge as were right al
hand. One gentlenian remained behind q
fence, a few yards from his residence, rathe
than risk an attempt to reach it.
HEAVIEST ST:1t.f SINCE THIRTY-NINE.
It was distinctly noticeable that the wini
decreased and su'ddenly increased in vio
lence three times, the greatest damage be
ing done by the last and most violent blow
It is said by sone of our oldest inhabitants
that not since 1939 has such a storm passel
'over this place, at which time many of th<
finest shade trees were blown down and
many houses damaged. All the China berry
or Pride of India trees then in the plac<
were uprooted. Since then many others
have grown up, some very large. All these
were blown down yesterday. Perhaps not
one is left.
MANY BUILDINGS INJURED.
Ryttenberg & Sons' handsome two-story
brick store i; badly damaged. About one
hundred feet of a brick parapet about six
feet high was blown over on the roof, break
ing in the timber, flooding the upper story
which is used by all our secret societies 'asa
meeting place, damaging the furniture ani
paraphernalia greatly. Mr. R. P. Mona
ghan's store had the tin roof blown off ani
the store was flooded with water. Mr. C. S
Matheson's large two-story machine supply
store is flat on the ground and broken int<
stove wood; the tin on the roof may be saved
and a small per cent. of the timbers. Th<
tin roof of the jail and cotton mill are
slightly damaged. The ball and spire of the
Baptist church steeple are blown off. A large
barn of Ducker & Bultman is blown down
Mr. R. S. Cooper had part of a large syca
more blown on his residence with scarcely
any damage. Mr. B. R. Sanders's kitcheI
is blown off of the foundation, but is intac
on the ground near by.
A small house at the Charleston, Sumte:
and Northern depot was thrown down, and
a Mr. Wilkie, who was in it, was knockei
senseless and lay in the drenching rain fo:
some time. The Episcopal parsonage was
flooded with water from top to bottom. Tw<
large guano and cotton sheds at the Wilming
ton, Columbia and Augusta Railroad depo
were blown down, and under them is bur
ied a mule, whicn had been driven here by
its owner for protection. Near this same
depot seven colored persons were in a house
which was blown to pieces, but not one 4i
them was hurt.
A WOMAN KILLED.
Just a short distance out of the city limits
a colored woman, Ida Richardson, was killed
in a house which was blown down.
A large shed near Main street, undet
which E. E. Rembert & Co. had a lot o
wagons stored for sale, was blown down
Under this shed were also several mules
hitched there by their owners. These were
not injured. Mr. John S. R ichardson, Jr.
had a large tree - blown against the bacd
door of his residence so that it cannot be
opened. The gable end of our large col
ored school building is blown down. A
small building on lower Main street, occu
pied by a colored man as a shop, has the
entire front blown out, and many other in
stances of damage done might be enunier
ated.
OTHER DAMAGES.
All over the city fences are down, in soaim
places as many as ten or fifteen panels iI
one fence, and our shade trees are laid lov
by the score; noticeable among these ou
two large and handsome oaks on Monument
al square.
The sun shines brightly to-day; to-morrov
the work of repairing will be begun, and it
a few more days the great storm of 1890 will
be forgotten. We are thankful that the los:
of life and property was not greater.-Xi'i

Cigarette Papers.
Panper for cigarettes is made from cottoI
and linen and from rice straw, and is large
ly of foreign manufacture. Cotton pape:
is used in the cheapest arnd most poisonoim
grades of cigarettes, and is so cheap tha
the wrappers for a thousand cotton pape:
cigarettes cost only two cents. Rice pap'e
is the choicest and' most costly. Tobacco
nized paper is made by saturating papr'
with an infusion of tobacco and pressing
in such a way as to produce an imitation o
the veins of the tobacco leaf. Some use ha:
been made of the fiber of the stalks of th
tobacco plant in pi'oducing a paper for all
tobacco cigarettes. The lime and other sub
stances used in bleaching cotton and othe:
rags for cigarette papers have a very harm
flinfluence upon the membraine of the
throat anid nose. Arsenical preparations ar4
also used in bleaching cigarette papers an<
oil of creosote is produced naturally as
consequence of comunustionl. This is very
inuious to the throat and lungs, and i:
said to accelerate the development of con
sumption in any one predisposed to thi
disease.

Judge Hudsen's Tiews on Lynching.
A1TorSTA, Ga., March 20.-The Court of
General Sessions of Barnwell county. S. C.,
convened to-day with Judge J. H. Hudson I
on the bench. His Honor's charge to the
Grand Jury was full and forcible with re
gard to the recent lynching of eight negro
pisoners. He said: "It is with great re
gret and pain that I must speak to you of
the enormous, outrageous violation of law
committed in this county since the last term
of this court. Eight men, safely confined
in jail to stand their trials, were taken from
the protection of the law by a body of law
less men and shot to death. Such a cold
blooded butchery is without precedent in
the history of this country. If the perpe- I
trators of so foul a murder can be discover
ed let it be done and the law be vindicated.
No people can flourish who have organized
mob law. The harm done by such acts is
incalculably severe. When men go to jail,
take prisoners away, and put them to death
they inflict a frightful blow on their State
and community. Such lawlessness should
be deprecated, should be checked, and I
hope there is sufficient patriotism and love
pf law and order to check such crimes."

Jeft'erson D~avis's Widow.
It may have been noticed that the widow.
of Jefferson Davis, since his death, signs
her name "V. Jeofferson Davis." Many per
sons, doubtless, suppose she has added the
name Jeffe-rson to' her Christian name \'arn
na, but this is not the proper explanation.
V. is the abbreviation of venve, the
French for widow, and it is the custom in
Louisiana, a:nd perhaps in other p.arts of
the South, for widows to place that letter
before the Christian names of' their deceased
husbands. V. JTeflT-rson Davis simply means
the widow of .Je!Yerson Davis. - /We..%so
