We direct the ittention of our
readers to the call for a meeting of the
citizens of this town to nominatea
ticket for intendant and wardens to
govern the town of Manning for the
ensuing two years. This is a very
important matter, and should not be
treated with indifierence. Every per
son that lives in the town ought or
should feel an interest in its welfare;
therefore every citizen ought to re
spond to this call, so that all may be
represented, and leave no roons for
persons to say that they had nothing
to do with the making up of the
ticket, and will not be bound by the<
nomination. We want to see a good
ticket in the field, a set of men who I
will take hold of the reins of govern
ment and conduct its affairs for th a
advancement of the town. A live1
council can make a live town: so turn
out Friday and nominate a good
ticket.

A Child Burned to Death.
BoNAzAx, April 8.-The two-year-1
old child of Tyra Tisdale, colored,:j
was burned to death last Thursday.
The old story: shut up in the house
alone, mother gone, no one near, the
house is burnt, and everything in
ashes before it is found out. We un
derstand that the child was almost
entirely consumed. A portion of the
intestines only could be found.
We understand that the youthful
pair who were defeated in marrying*
a week ago, made an attempt again
last Friday, and another on Sunday.
but they are at this writing still en
joying single blessedness, and we are
informed that it is now given up for
goo and all. The course of youth-I
ful love doesn't always run smooth.
I Cttn is now bein pnanted..

The Board of Equalization met last Mon
lay in the court house, Col. .J. 0. Brock,
hairman. All townships were represented
mxcept Santee and Sandy Grove. The audit
yr made his report, showing that by the
returns, as canvassed by the township
boards, the average value of real estate per
tere, including buildings and all property
assed as real estate, is as follow-; by town

A number of appeals were heard and
xted on.
Mr. James E. Davis thought the assess
nent of country property in Manning town
.hip was too low, but as compared with
ther townships he desired either that this
e lowered or the others raised.
Maj. H. B. Richardson said most of the
,and in Fulton was swamp or inferior land,
here being not more than 13,000 acres of
he valuable red land in that township.
Mr. Davis moved that the assessment of
ulton be raised 20 per cent., and that the
sessment of the other townships remain
he same as reported to this board.
Maj. Richardson protested against any
such indiscriminate raising. He thought
he assessment should he raised on certain
zinds, and to leave other parts as made. Mr.
q. B. Barrow moved an. amendment that
he assessment be raised 3.1; per cent. The
Lmendment was rejected. Mr. J. H. Mc
Kight amended that swamp lands be raised
n Fulton from 50 cents to $1.00 an acre,
6nd increase the balance 20 per cent. Laid
>n table. The original motion to increase
he assessment in Fulton 20 per cent. was
hen carried.
A motion was made to reduce Calvary 10
er cent. Laid on table.
Friendship was raised 10 per cent.
A motion was made to raise St. Pauls 20
1er cent., but was amended to raise it only
.0 per cent. The amendment prevailed.
Santee was not changed.
St. Marks was raised 10 per cent.
Concord and Sammy Swamp were not
hanged.
St. James was raised 10 per cent.
Manning and Mt. Zion were not changed.
Brewington was raised 10 per cent.
Plowdens Mill, Harniony, and Midway

We, quite accidentally, overheard a con
ersation between two "gentlemen of color'
he other day, which, while it amused us.
expressed a pretty true sentiment. It ran
tomething like this:
"Does you know Mr. News and Courier ?"
"No ! Never have seen him. Why ?"
"Well, I just heard a man say the other
lay that he too loves to stay on the greasy
ide of every qnestion that comes uip."
It took us some little time to translate the
~xpression, but think w'e tinally got it. Mr.
~ews and Courier thinks it knows which
ide of his bread is buttered, and has decid
*d, at all hazards, to keep on what it con
iders the "big side."
Quite an enjoyable occasion was the meiet

Resolutions in Memory of Win. J. Clark.
Ail men ate mortal. Every man, whether
he be the strong aict mighty or the weak
and lowly, is a dependent being, liable to be
cut down at any nioment and called to his
reward.
Whether he be young and in the vigor of
manhood, or hoary with years and beyond
the age of maturity, he is but a borrower of
time, subject to t.be will of otd, who is the
Divine Ruler of the universe and the mez
worshipful master of us all. We, as a ma
sonic brotherhood, are banded together to
perfect ourselves in masonry by lending
obedience to his will and carrying out those
mandates which he doth decree; to meet
each other on the square of justice and to
part on the plumb of friends.hip and broth
erhood; to do honor to those for whom we
can voueb, and to revere the memory of
those who have been called beyond the
portals of that gate where all things are
done on the square, the plumb and the
level, and directed by the guiding hand of
a true and merciful God.
Now, whereas, we have been called upon
to place to ashes the remains of one of our
brightest and most respected brothers, Bro.
William J. Clark, who departed this life at
his home among his loved ones on Wednes
day. January 29th A. D. 1890, and A. L.
5890; therefore be it resolved,
That in the death of Bro. Clark this Lodge
has lost one of its best members, one of its
brightest masons, and one who was ever
willing and ready to advance the order or
extend a token of brotherly friendship.
That we do greatly sympathize with his
widow, and all those who, by his death,
have been left in grief.
That a page in our minute book be in
scribed to his memory, that a copy of these
resolutions be communicated to his widow
and children, and that they be given to the
press for publication.

Tribute of Respect.
WHF.inrAs, it has pleased an Allwise God
to remove from our Lodge by death our es
teemed brother, W. J. Clark, Chancellor
Commander of this Lodge; and while we
bow in humble subtuission to the divine
will, yet we feel it our duty to give expres
sion to our heart-felt sorrow at our sad be
reavement: therefore be it
Rlesored, that in the death of our brother
this Lodge has sustained the loss of one of
its most eteemed and elicient members.
Peso!red, that a page in the minutes book
of this lodge he insribed to the memory of
our deceased brother, and that our charter
be draped in monrning for the usual length
of time.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the bereaved widow of our de
eased brother, and that they be published
in each of the county papers.

Williamsburg News.
The Supreme Court has reversed the judg
ment of the circuit conrt at this place, in the
case of Mrs. Ella F. Willoughby against the
Northeastern Railroad Company, and re
manded the case for a new trial.
A. McKnight, a respectable colored farm
er in the neighborhood of Fowler, says that
after he read Mr. Bradshaw's discovery of
the bill-bugs in the root of the rag-weed and
cockle bur, lie has found and destroyed
great numbers of them. He says that in
the roots of those weeds is the place to find
them.
Dr. S. F. Pendergrass, whose health for
the past few years had been decliaing, and
who had been ill for several months, died
at his home in this county on the 26th ult.,
aged 58 years, 6 months, and 3 days. The
disease of which he died was gastritis, or
inflammation of the stomach, with which he
suffered great pain.
Mr. F. E. Rodgers, who lived a short dis
tance below this town on Black nver, died
last Wednesday of typhoid fever, of which
he had been sick thirty days. He was about
fifty years old, and was one of the health
iest men in the connty. A farner who had
been accustomed to labor all his life with
his own hands, he presenited the appearance
of great strength and good health; but nurs
ing a sick neighbor who had the same dio
ease he contracted it and died, while his
neighbor has almost recovered.

Thme Terrible D~eath of an Old Lady. ]
Mrs. Tempe Lochimy, a widow lady about
65 years old, w'ho lived just out of town, met
with a most distressing accident on Mon
day, which resulted in her dem'th on Tuc:;-'
day. She was found about 12 o'clock Mon
day morning in the fireplace of her dining
room, feeble an d helpless. Her clothes were.
almost entirely consumed by fire, and her
face. body and hands were horribly burned.
Her head was completely charred by the
flames. The old lady ,vas subject to epilep
sy, and it is supposed that, while preparing
for dinner, she wats seized with a fit and fell1
into the tire. Di'. W. J. Garner was called
in and didi everything in his powier to re
lieve her, but of no avail, for' she lived only
a day. She was conscious all the time, un
til death p-ut an end toi her intense suffer
ing.--Darlingb'n Xeir.
Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a
feeble const~tution is ill adapted to encoun
ter a malarious atmosphere and sudden
changes of temperature, and the least robust
are usually the easiest victims. Dr. J1. H.
McLean's~Sarsaparilla will give tone vita
ity and strength to the entire body.
Distress after eating. hearthurn, s'ck
headache, and indigestion are cured by Dr.
J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets (lit.
tie pills).
If you feel unable to do your work and
have'that tired feeling, take Dr. J. H. Mc-.
Lean's Sarsap~arilla: it will make you bright,
active and vigorous.
The most popular liniment, is the old re
liable, Dr. J. H. McLean's volcanic Oil Lin
iment.
M any' people habiitually endure a feecling
of lassitude, because they think they have
to. If they would take Dr. JT. H. McLean's
Sarsaparilla this fer-ling of weariness would
give place to vigor and vitality.
No liniment is in better repute or more
widely known than Dr. J. If. McLean's Vol
canie Oil Liniment. It is a wonderful rem
eson advanced in years feel younger
and stronger, as well as freer from the in.:
firmities of age, by taking Dr'. J . H
Lean's Sarsaparilla.
A Great Persuader.
Rleeently a father in Williamsburg used a
.hotgnn on a young mani to compel him to
marry his daiughter whom he had won and
ilien jilted. And a fat herm ia C2olleton uisedi
a shotgun on a young man to prevent his
mari'ying his daughter, whom he he had
I onrt d and won. As the Johns5on .Monior
say~s the shiotgu n is a great persuader.
