THXA=NIG TILES, Ma in g, . C S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, Apri 16,1890. THE TOWN COUNCIL The town council for the next two years has been elected, the clerk and marshals have been appointed, and all is quiet and serene. The nomination of Mr. D. K. Bradham for intendant was exceedingly complimentary, as he was nominated and elected unani mously. Such an endorsement is an honor to be proud of. Mr. Bradham -served in the last council and is the only member of the old council who was elected on the present council. The other four members are all nev men. The council is a good one, and much will be expected of them. They are all young men. At the meeting last night, just be fore the new council was sworn in, Al derman Bradham offered a set of reso lutions, which were unanimously adopt ed,highly complimentary to Intendant W. K. Bell, for the admirable and sat isfactory manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office, and expressive of the high regard en tertained by the council for him. In tendant Bell replied in a feeling way, stating that the resolutions came un cedy. He thanked the council for this kind expression, and assured them that he greatly appreciated it. He was glad that not a ripple of dis cord had, during the past two years, arisen to mar the kind and pleasant recollections he would ever have of the council of the past two years. Mr. Bell has served as intendant for a number of years, and has made among the best intendants the town has ever had. No town in the State is better drained and in a healthier condition than Manning, all of which Is largely due to his administration. He positively declined serving any :. odore Harvin has for a number of years been the colored member of the council, and his conservative course has won for him the well done of both white and colored citizens. In fact, as we stated some weeks ago, the old council was an admirable one, and to each and every member bf that council is due the thanks of every cItinen of thetown. The new council last night was sworn in by Intendant Bell, and they imply organized by electing a clerk -and two marshals. They will haye ,.important business before them, such a creating a brick district, discussing the town hall question, enforcing the Sunday-law, and looking after the vi 'olation of the whiskey license law. And they will fearlessly attend to their ities, or we are much mistaken in t re men. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, one of the most prominent Democrats ai this country, died at his residence iWashington last Sunday. "Andrew Smith, of Salt Lake City, Isa Mormon elder who has had eight He asthatb i e perti~hs ;ga wife. His idea is that a wife sonddo and think-as her husband ants her to, and under this arrange ment marriage is not a failure. ~The result 6f the election in the ~Sate- of Rhode Ishmnd on the 12th "ati was a complete victory for the ~Democrats. The midget State is ~ond more in the hands of the Demo ticaie party. The legislature stands T Denmocrats and 50 Republicans. Shis is the first time that a Demo ritie governor has been elected in Shaode Island since 1851. Congresman Samuel Dibble has >rtten a letter in which he declines tbe a candidate again for congress. ~Hehas served ten years, and says his ~duies to fmiy and home are such as ;cause him to retire from further .ervice at Washington. Mr. Dibble las been an able and trustworthy kepesentative, and one whom the State ~adSouth has justly been proud of. KIt makes no difference whether we ae for or against Tillman we should remember that- we are all Democrats 7n all citizens of South Carolina. Let each man of us work and vote for ~is side and his men, but let each of .us keep. in mind always that this is a botestamong friends, that the safety and 'welfare of our State, our families ~anourselves require that we shall all ai together in November. The New York World, which has been investigating the Louisiana lot tery, asserts that its net profits are 10,000,000 a year. This is the strongest argument against the con ein that has yet been addressed to te popular mind, and it is one that even the most feeble mind ought to be able to understand. The stock lders and managers of the company draw pr~izes every time, no matter who get the blanks and the small bait. Wilie Leaphart, a mulatto of Lex ington, who was convicted at the last term of the Lexington court of an otrageous crime upon a young white ~woman, and who was sentenced to be baiged last Friday, was, upon the Tseommendation of Judge Wallace, respited last Thursday, until an ap peal for a new trial could be heard, an affidavit having been filed which it issaid may change the sentence. The people of Lexington were very indig nant at the respite, and hastily and without any inquiry into the cause of thexrespite, held an indignation meet ing at which they censured Governor Rihardson very heavily. They after wards found out that Gov. Richardson was not only not to blame, but had done exactly what his duty demanded. The action of these citizens was sim ply' disgraceful. The Race question in a Nutshell. The man who voluntarily goes down tk -the negro's level, or brings him up to his, rides to town in the same buggy with him, drnks out of the same bottle, goes halves, -as the saying is. is the man who generally finds trouble on his hands. He often ease his black neighbor, is cursed in re t~esnd and wades into him. If thi5 waiabandonied and the negro kepi wkr'his nature naturally leads him te know he ought to be. there would be little or no trouble, except, perhaps, that whiel gr ows out of our political contests..-Bomi [Reported for the TnMms.] Meeting and Proceedings of Harmony Presbytery. The Presbytery of Harmony was divided some months ago. That por tion east of Lynches and Pee Dee rivers to the North Carolina line, is now Pee Dee Presbytery, while the territory west of these rivers and east of the Wateree and Santee, retain the old name. The counties of Kershaw, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, Georgetown, and part of Florence now constitute Harmony Presbytery, which still has 14 ministers and 31 churches. This body met on the 9th instant in Salem Black River church, Sumter county, and was opened with a sermon by Rev. W. S. Bean; after which Rev. James McDowell was elected moder ator, and Rev. A. M. Sale temporary clerk. Besides the regular business of the body, and the opening sermon on Wednesday, there was a sermon each day by one of the ministers present: on Thursday, by Rev. W. W. Mills, of Camden; on Friday, by Rev. N. W. Edmunds, D. D., of Sumter; on Sat urday, by Rev. A. M. Sale; and on Sabbath, after the adjournment, by Rev. J. McDowell. Rev. J. G. Richards is the Presby terial Evangelist of this and Pee Dee Presbytery, giving half of his time to each. Rev. W. A. Gregg, of Bishopville, who has been stated clerk for twenty two years, resigned this position, his health being feeble, and Rev. W. W. Mills was elected in his place. Riev. W. Cuttino Smith and Ruling Elder Rhodes were elected commis sioners to the General Assembly, which will meet in May, in Asheville, N. C. The same executive committee was re-elected for the next six months: ministers, N. W. Edmunds, W. . Mc Kay, W. S. Bean, and Jas. McDowell, with ruling elders J. D. Blanding, R. C. McFaddin, and Judge T. B. Fraser. This committee meets several times between the regular meetings of Pres bytery, and attends to many matters of importance committed to it. There is to be an adjourned meet ing of Presbytery in Sumter on the 13th of May, to examine and license a candidate for the ministry. The next regular meeting will be held in Summerton, commencing on the 2d of October next. The good people of Salem, Black River, are noted for their generous hospitality and kindness, and are de voted to their efficient and noble pas tor, Rev. W. J. McKay, who has en deared himself to the whole church and community. [From the Columbia Register.) Another Farmer's Convention. The following communication has been addressed to a representative farmer in each cointy in South Carolina: CoLr iA, S. C., April 12, 1890. Dnat Srn:-The action of the recent Shell convention, in attempting to forestall the regular Democratic convention by placing before the people candidates alleged to rep resent the tarmers of South Carolina and a platform purporting to express the wishes and sentiments of the farmers on certain nu'i questions in our opinion forces 'apon those farmers who do not endorse either the candidates or the platform the necessity for some action that will show to all other classes in the State that the Shell convention did not represent the views of a large body of farmers. - Wit thggbectin view a conference, to ~be omposdof one representative farmer from each county, will be held at Columbia, at Agricultural hall, on Wednesday, April 23, 1890, at 12 o'clock x., to discuss the sit uation and take such further steps as may then be determined upon. The undersigned respectfully and earnest ly request you to represent your county at the conference, and, in a matter appealing so strongly to your patriotism, feel tnat further solicitation is unnecessary. If it is impossible for you to be present, please see that some other farmer represents your county who is in sympathy with this movement. Please let us know promptly if you will meet the conference at the time named. Yours truly, IBEDE.. JONES, Rock Hill, York Co. T. W. WVonw.to, Rockton, Fairfield Co. J. C. F. Snts, Columbia, Richland Co. For convenience please address your re ply to J. C. F. Sims, Columbia, S. C. This call is issued to give an opportunity for conference among the representative farmers of the State who do not approve of the Shell convention, its methods or its pur poes and who have no confidence in the candidate put forth by that meeting. The leaders of this movement declare that it is not proposed to nominate or "suggest" any one for any State office, but that a full dis cussion of the situation is sought, and that it is intended to put forth representatives of the views suggested to discuss before the people the issues agitated by Captain Till man and his followers. A Great Scheme. Senator Zeb Vance, of North Carolina, has introduced into the upper honse of congress a novel bill intended as a relief measure for the farmers. Brieflyoutlined the bill appropriates $50,000,000) for the creation of agricultural depositories or ware houses in each county in the United States where the sheritf and clerk of each county may certify that the average gross amount per annum of cotton, wheat, corn, oats, and tobacco produced and sold in the county for the last pieceeding 2 years exceeds the sum of $500,000. of current prices. The scheme is to allow owners of tobacco, corn, etc., to deposit the same in the warehouse nearest the point of production, and re ceive therefor treasury notes equal at the date of deposit to eighty per centum of the net value of such products, based on prices current in the leading cotton, tobacco and grain markets of the United States. The bill authorizes the secretary of the treasury to prepare treasury notes in such amounts as may be required to do business, but no notes so prepared are to be of less denomi 'nation than one dollar or greater than $10. These notes are made receivable for customs, and are to be legal tender for all debts, both private and public. The main object of the bill is to have the government lend money to the farmers at the low interest of one per centum per annum. It will allow a farmer to hold his goods if he cares to for a better market, without paying the enormous rates charged by banks and unlicensed money lenders. It heads off all trusts and combi nations, and if it could become a law the supposition is that peace and plenty, if not luxury, would once more obtain throughout the land. Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble constitution is ill adapted to encoun ter a malarious atmosphere and sudden changes of temperature, and the least robust are usually the easiest victims. Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla will give tone vital ity and strength to the entire body. Distress after eating, heartburn, sick 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 Sarsaparilla; 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 habitually endure a feeling of lassitude, because they think they have to. If they would take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla this feeling of weariness would Sgive place to vigor and vitality. No liniment is in better repute or more widely known than Dr. J. H. McLean's Vol canic Oil Liniment.

To the public: Invitations to speak are beginning to come to me. I desire to say that all such letters should be add ressed to Capt. G. W. Shell, Laurens, S. C., Chairman of the campaign committee. The reasons are obvimus. To canvass the State thoroughly will require much travel, and cannot well be done under three months; and to save both expense and la bor, there must be some systematic arrange ments. Capt. Shell can also judge where and when my services are most needed, and ar range accordingly. If the State Democratic Committee would not call the State conven tion till September, the canvass could be deferred till the crop is almost laid by, and I would prefer not to precipitate a heated political campaign when all are so busy. But I am ready to open the ball whenever it suits the people and the campaign commit tee thinks best. B. R. TILmtAN. One of Dr. 3. H.

CAnL.Es'roN, April 11.-Charles Simmons was hanged at Mount Pleasant to-day for the murder of an old Geiman named Otto Fishang, on John's Island, in October last. Simmons met his death stolidly, and, as usual with murderers of his stamp, an nounced that he forgave everybody and was sure to go to heaven. It was a most brutal murder. He lay out in the woods all night, and when his victim came out of his house he shot him fromn ambush. When lie was arrested he delibeiately tried to put off his crime on an innocent man, a negio named .John Henry. On the trial, however, Henry was fortuna&te enongh to prove an alibi and was acquitted. After his conviction, and when he found that he had no hopes of es eape, Simmons cooly confessed that Henry had nothing to do with the crime, and that he had only charged him with it in order to "have company." The hanging took place in the jail yard about 11 o'clock. The ne groes of Mount Pleasant were out in full force, but were not permitted to witness the execution. Sinmmons's neck was broke~n, and his death was almorst instantaneous. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

Have your own thoughts and per mit her to have hers. Do not demand too much of hei ii the way of confidence. And do not be too aggressive, want ing to know why she hasn't done this, and why she doesn't think as you do. If you think your friend's style of dress is not beautiful, don't tell her you only offend her, because deep in her heart she is convinced that she knows a great deal more about it than you do. Do not find fault with your friend's friend, and do not expect to be the only one given a corner in her heart. Be as considerate of her feelings as if she were a stranger, and remember that politeness is an everyday garment, and not one intended only for bigh days and holidays. To sum it up in one sentence, preserve the courtesy of the beginning if you wish to keep your friendship to the end.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Some other men who have been spoken of for Governor, do swear a little and take a drink too. His opponents go so far as to say he does not stand well in his own coun ty. We will see how he stands. In the first place le is the county chairman of the Denm ocratic party; he is president of' his precinct club; he is president of his county alliance, and is president of his sub-alliance; also captain of a military company in his coun ty; and I have heard that he is the leader in the choir of a Presbyterian church." What is Scrofula It is that Impurity in the blood, which, accumu lating In the glands of the neck, produces un sightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful rnnngt SOres on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which isathe origin of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other mnanifestations usually ascribed to "humors." It is a more formidable enemy than consumption or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst possible features of both. Being the most anclent, it lsathe most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from It. Howecan itbe cured ? By taking Hood's sarsa parilia, which, by the cures It has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven Itself tobe a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. For all affections of the blood Hood's Sarsapariflals unequalled,and some of the cures it has effected are really wonderful.
