Grenock Sunday-school had a de lightful picnic at Davis school-house, five miles from Manning, last Satur day. About two hundred persons we're present, and everybody seemed to act as a committee on pleasure. The children played ball; the young ladies and young men held secret cau cuses in the buggies; the married la 'dies discussed the latest fashions, the beauty of their children, and the handsome appearance of the TIzEs reporter; and the men discussed the ondition of the crops and politics, mostly politics. When dinner was announced, ball-playing, love-making, fashions, pretty children, Trmns man, rois, and politics were for the mo meht laid aside, and the way some of: he men did eat would be a caution to all picic-goers. The dinner was mag-: nificent, and everybody spent a pleas-: ant day. Blank titles, mortgages, liens, bills of sale, and other legal blanks for sale at low estn prce byr. L. W. Nettles, Foreston. A big crowd will be in Manning campaign day, July 26th. Maj. E Conyers Horton tells us that woik on Pocotaligo causeway has begun, and he hopes soon to have the causeway In first class condition. What is the matter withithe candi dates this year? They do not seem to be as anmious as usual to let the "dear people" know what office they want. The committee of arrangements for campaign day have decided to erect the speakers' stand in the south-east part of the court house square. A number of seats will be provided for the ladies. The town council has had a good many dogs buried within the last week, and judging from the pistol shots we hear every night, the work of dog slaying is still going on. Some of the dogs are killed by poison scat tered on the streets, and if people will allow their dogs to run at large they must not be surprised should their canine pets come up missing. Several prominent Anti-Tillmanites were in town last Monday, and rumor has it that they came to Manning to have a little private conference with their town sympathizers in order to devise some effectual method of bell ing the Tillman cat. We do not know whether a conference was had or not, but we can say that men may as well I attempt to quench the phosphorescent emanations from the tail end of a ightning bug with a squirt gun, as to E try to beat Ben Tillman in Clarendon county. Last Monday afternoon the usual quiet of our town was slightly dis- j turbed by Mr. R H. Davis using I a horse whip on Willis Davis, colored. z The matter was heard last night be- I fore the town council, and Mr. Davis was fined six dollars. Immediately i after the hearing Mr. Davis preferred I charges against Policeman Calvin 1 Boyd, for using profane language on 1 the street while on duty, and for ad- a vising Willis to cut and shoot R H. I Davis, to retaliate the use of the whip. I Council heard testimony on both c Bides; one side stating positively that Boyd did use the language attributed N o him, and the other side equally as I positive that it was not Boyd but an- N ther party who used the language. Council realizing the seriousness of he charge postponed the investiga- o ion until a material witness who was ibsent could be procured. 1 The Manning Contingent. Clarendon will be largely repre- t iented at Sumter to-day. The follow- r ing gentlemen boarded the train at this place this morning, bound to see I he Sumter meeting: I F N Wilson, J H Hudnal, A S Briggs, P 0 B Mouzon, W E Jenkinson, M C Galluchat.

The Prize Drill. The prize drill of the Manning uards was held last Friday, in the nstitute building. The following quad competed: W C Bagnal, Clafendon Barron, Asa iark, A C Davis, W E Jenkinson, B A ~ ohnson, C R Harvin, Jr, J H Lesesne, Wil ie Mahoney, P B Mouzon, F 0 Richardson, has. Ridgill, J.H.Rigby, Edward Thames, ohn Thatnes. John Walker. t Lieut. Cabaniss and Cadet-Lieut. Simmona, of the Citadel, acted as udges. Capt. I. Ingram Bagnal gave the commands. The drill took place n the stage in the hall. Four mis takes were allowed each man. The ontest was narrowed down to Messrs. ihardson and Davis, and finally it was announced that A. C. Davis had on the first prize; F. 0. Richa dson the second; J. H. Lesesne the third md B. A. Johnson the fourth. John S. Wilson, Esq., in a short speech presented the prizes, whicht were $5 in gold, $2.50 in gold, and Iwo boxes cigars. After the drill the hall was prepar d for dancing, and the german led y Miss Nannie Richardson and Mr. 8 W. B. Bonham was danced. Music v~ was furnished by Simon's band 'of T sumter. It was a pleasant occasion t mud all present spent a delightful I vening. They Wanted to Register. I A large number of colored persons ~ were in town Monday looking for the 1 aupervisor of registration, they being t mder the impression that they could btain their certificates on that day. C 'he supervisor, in accordance with C the law, closed his books on the first ~ Sy of July, and was not in town. A ' najority of the crowd wended their way t:> the post office to report their ' disappointment to Post Master Stew- I art, who went busily to work fillhng ~ ut their grievances in the shape of I ffidavits.1 The following is the form of affi davit filled out by the post master: STATE oP SOUTH CAROLINA, {. CmoN Cors-rr. Before rie, a Notary Public in and for the said State, personi0.!y appeared,..who. being duly sworn acorring to law, deposes nd says: 1hat he is a citizen of the said State and county, duly qualified and enti-1 led to vote at-. .precinct in said county; that on the..day of....1890, being ] one of the days appointed by law, for regis- - tering the voters of said county, at Mannumg in said county, he applied to S. P. Holladay, 1 supervisor of registration, ir. and for the said county, for..and thai. the said su pervisor failed to carry into execution the ofer of this deponent, on the groar d that Swrn to before me this..day of -. . 1890.1 The Cotton Warehouse. There is an effort being made to es- 1 tablish a large alliance warehouse in Manning, and we hope it will meet with success. The farmers would store their cotton in such a warehouse and certain days would be appointed for the sale of the cotton; the conse- I quence would be that cotton buyers from abroad would come here, com-Ia pete with each other in prices, and the farmer would get the benefit of the competition. As another good result, the farmers would congregate here to see their cotton sold, receive their money, and our merchants would compete with each other for the trade of these-peo ple. Our farmers would then get better prices, and the merchants wo uldi make larger cash sales. This has been the experience in towns where alliance warehouses have been established. That tired feeling now so often heard of, is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which give mental and bodily strength. Summerton News. SumnarTos, July 8.-The rains have been pretty general in this section, but our village has had very little, and we are needing it badly. Politics is at red beat in this coi munity. Hon. J. E. Tindal spoke in the academy last Saturday evening to,! an audience of about fifty. As a mat ter of course lie gave us his views on the TilIman side of the question. i There will be a match game of base I ball here Friday evening, between the I Tuneville and Summerton clubs. Report says there is an old bear and her cubs in the woods near Knight's mill. I heard a little darkey say they ame up to his father's house, whoop ng and howling. I hardly think it's bears: it must be some of the cam paign whoopers from Aiken on their vay to Sumter to attend the meeting > Wednesday. Dr. B. M. Badger and family left 2ere Thursday evening to pay a visit ;o relatives in Georgia. Mr. Sam Sparks has commenced vork on Mr. George White's store. The Star has changed hands. Mr. Bowman has sold out to Mr. Gardner. Mr. P. G. Bowman has been elected rincipal of the high school in this lace. Since the death of Tarleton our ost offce has been run in a. very oose and unsatisfactory way, and unl ess there is improvement very soon t n the management the patrons of the >ffice will take the matter in hand and ee if something can't be done. u. News from Jordan. t JoRDAN, July 8.-The Tillman and Lnti-Tillman are having a big fight, )ut from the signs of the times, not s big as 'tis going to be. I hope the >olitical dispute, or as "Ben" terms it family quarrel," may soon end. It indeed a serious matter to see good )emocrats on a dispute which is like y to end with some unpleasantness. .et us think well in this campaign, a ad not let it be a "'76." Let us hear e ioth sides of the question, and per- b aps we can arrive at a better con lusion. The farmers are suffering for rain: g rithout rain soon the corn crop will 0 e cut short a great deal. Cotton is S 0 ery fine, and with good seasons there a rill certainly be a good yield. Mrs. J. A. Sprott is visiting relatives i t Foreston. b Prof. H. W. Mitchum, of Walthour- g ille, Ga., principal of the Academy a ,t that place, is at home. Some of our citizens expect to go to he political speaking in Sumter to- .1 aorrow. That great game of ball between the P oreston and Juneville clubs was 4 >layed here last Thursday. The a unevilles were defeated by a s.core of ir :7 to 8. We (the Junevilles) are not atisfied yet, and shall challenge For- 'P p ston again when we learn to play a] all. The Juneville and Summerton w lubs will play a match game on the e ounds of the latter next Friday. The colored base ball clubs of Sum- 3 serton and Jordan played two match u ames at this place on the Fourth. t! Jhe first resulted in favor of Jordan " iy a score of 24 to 19. Jordan also t< ron the second game by a score of i< 1 to 21. Our darkies play good ball, w nd challenge any colored club in the a ounty to play here. c. Killed by Lightning,. a GmREEEvrLLE, July 6.-During a hunder storm yesterday Louis Gour- I i, a young son of Mr. John K.. ourdin, and a negro boy, standing a~ ear the residence of the late Dr. W. ~ . Boyd, were killed by lightning. Mrs. a 'ourdin has been lately bereaved by w be death of both father and mother, ai nd this sudden calamity deeply stirs O e sympathies of her friends. ,* A large congregation worshipped at ja t. Marks to-day, many persons from eighborhood churches and other de ominations being present. Much needed rain has fallen yes- s rday and to-day. Ji. M. in. v Tom Goes on a Picnic. i M. Enrron:-Amidst the political si gitation which seems to convulse the ca rhole of the public mind, like a tidal e rave sweeping before its face every- ti ing, we have pleasure and enjoy- n ient to the heart's content, although b; assing through one of the most try- jp g ordeals of our political life. We ti ave one of the finest crop prospects, og a it really seems everything imagina le rebounds to our comfort, and si ere is no end to our pleasures. The picnic and excursion to Eutaw 01 n the 4th was represented by five ~ ounties. We boarded the train on et chedule time at Silver in company u: rith as jovial, merry picnickers as you a rould like to see. It was a morning e 'f happy sunshine and delightful re romise; every one anxiously looked d anticipated great things. WVe didw lot wait long ere the whistle of the ~ :comotive from Sumter was the sig- I al to be ready for the long train a rhich soon came in sight, and with t carcely a moment's stop, with a loud, brill voice from the conductor, "All .board," sped her way to Summerton,p vhere others joined the party. At iti st. Paul we took our final cargo of nortal flesh from Clarendon. I need not tell your readers that'ii ?acksville, Silver, Summerton and St. b ?aul furnished on that day some of' he handsomest ladies on the excur- Li ion. I felt deeply that the young u nen were so backward in the absence b >f the old folks where such fortunes ay within easy grasp. 1 At Vances Orangeburg furnished a ti >evy of young ladies, who, together vith her young men, showved up wvell. t t Eutawville the Charleston train rought numbers from the lower t :ounties. By the time we reached the L Ipring the picnickers numbered almost thousand people. One could but eel exquisite pleasure on witnessing he merry group as they marched on" soot from the train, a distance of thrLe mudred yards, to the spring. Mlusie ro the Sumter brass band, furnish md by the railroad coimpanuy, inspirede :e greater thought that even the force of pleasure was enhaniced to give ife to the occasion That the day as celebrated with becoming tast~e ma exquisite grandeur no one will leny. Old and young were pleased , sever regretting their visit to the spring; this visit never will b~e effaced From life's memory. The dinner ex ::elled almost anything of the kind:ic ::ream, lemonade, and soda water profusely abounded. With all this social enjoyment mingling and com ruingling, I am satisfied from what I ma l~eha 'on smeferfl oi to-day. I bear young men calling apon the clefts of some rock to hide :hem from the face of the laud. (Our Ishley will go to Orangeburg.) The (lay was not without politics. illnan was the leading spirit with he people. He had all during the lay a superabundance of enthusiasm, n overwhelming majority: men true ud tried who will stand by him in my and every emergency. Nothing eems to daunt the courage of the )eople in three cheers for the people's andidate. We bade adieu to Eutaw at 6 P. M. Cothing disturbed the repose of a ired mind but loud whoops at every tation for Tillman. It was certainly solid Tillman excursion, more so han a social gathering though every hing went merry as a marriage bell. Silver is still in the progressive line. 'he Democratic club held a meeting o-day with a large membership. The ood ladies had quite a success with he sale of ice cream. Everybody is ing to Sumter on the 9th. The Democratic club has arranged :r a large picnic on the 24th. It was >roposed that J. C. Haskell be invited : speak, but the Tillmanites say they ,on't want to hear him. Silver has he right ring; they can boast of na ne a club of good looking men as be Columbia club. Fearful indeed ave we been catechised upon our in elligence, but Silver will get there all bie same. I have made my letter too long, ut allow me to allude to one inter sting little incident I learned at Eu iw. A little lad. nn Earleite in his eens, was there in the interest of his andidate for governor. He said Col. Aarle when elected had promised him fine situation: that the governor ould give him charge of his stock irm to mind calves. Smart boy, in eed, is little Jones. To.v. Haunted Chamber and Wedded Bliss. WILSONS, July 7.-We have been waiting ad watching for you to commence another ntinued story in the TuivEs. I know it to e a fact that quite a number of your sub ribers, nearly every one in this communi , were highly pleased with "The Haunted hamber," and all join in the wish that you ive us another. I know there are some of ar good people who object to continued ;ries because they are a little on the style the novel, but surely they can't object to story that was as interesting and highly structive as "The Haunted Chamber." It true that it showed off to perfection some the darker shades of life, but is it possi e that our good people have become so od as not to want the younger flocks to ok upon the darker sides of life at all. We 1 know that life cannot be all sunshine, id we claim that as clouds must come soon or later, that it is much better that we iould study the dark as well as the bright des of life so that we may know and pre re against them. "The flaunted Cham r" gave us a good lesson when it showed distinctly the perfections ofta noble char ter born of good principles and noble 2pulses, so we say give us another. Now, suppose we suppose a little. Suppose cre were no women in the land and we >or men had to live in "single cussedness" I our days! Now,- Mr. Editor, don't think o are "cussin,"' for you know '-single tssedness" is part of an old adage. And, r the way, suppose we suppose a little ore on that. Suppose two men meet, say and 20 years of age, respectively. The an of 30 looks as if he had been put rough the "seven cities," the coolest of hich wasn't near like an ice factory, while te man of 20 seemed to be in great trouble o, but of a ditferent nature altogether. He oks as if Cupid had pierced him through ith one of his fiery darts. The man of 20 ys did you ever hear anything of the old lage about "single cussedness" and "wed ad blessedness." "Yes ! but hold on my iend," says the man of 30. "You've got it together wvrong, entirely backwvards. It's gle blessedness and wedded cussedness 'ry time." Savs the man of 20, "My iend, you're marr-ied, ain't you ?" "Yes." Well, let me tell you friend, stay so as long you can." "You~ng man," says 30, "You're ngle ain't you?" "Yes." "WVell, let me 11 you, I'm older than you are, take my vice and stay single." Oh ! my, what are e to do? 11ere we've got two witnesses reeing upon a direct contradiction, From ir stand point wve want, mighty bad, to take des with the man of 20. But, Mr. Editor, m've been there; what do you say. [Get arried !] B. Some Anti-'lillmnan Methods. Emrron MNa'C; ToM~s:- 1 notice that the te executive committee have called a con ntio-m to meet in the city of Columbia on e 13th of August for the purpose of decid g wvhether or not the nominations for ate officers shall take place by primary or nvention, and said convention is request to transact no other business. The gen imen composing a majority of that com ittee' are opposed to the platform adopted ,the Farmers' Association, and in my .dgment they are using their official posi ns in a partisan manner for those who >pose our platform and lender. I am up a tree, and from this elevated po tion can clearly see that the Democratic irty of this State has never clothed any set 'men or any committee with authority to ht Demoerats, and looking down at the induct o this powerful committee, I open y eyes to the fact that they have without iy authority undertaken to enter the pres it political contest, and if possible they ill try to crush out Ben Tillman and the rmers' platform. Another thing is very evident: that they ill circulate a lot of campaign literature to Sused in this tight. Now I would like to :io whose money they propose using for is purpose. If they intend using the nds of the Democratic party, then I pro st, as they arc not authorized to take the oney of Democrats to fight Democrats. hey might say that the State is in danger, t such stuff is political clap-trap, and the ople know it, and the people also know at the distribution of literature is a use ss expense and unnecessary. There is no anger of a split unless these very men, ho, having been selected to guide the po ticidl interests of the Demoeratc pairty, come so dle'qperately zealous in a rule or mn advoc'acy of " any one to heat Tillrman" Sto get md when the people show them iat they will have themi no longer to rule sIn other wvords, if a split comes it is und to ce-me tromi the faction that is led y Col. A. C. Haskell, the man that rode at i heal of the procession in Columbia on i 24th inst.. and insulted thousands ot' ne-blue Demiocrats by giving, "Three cers for the straightout Democrats, and iree groans for the bogus Democrats." By l"bogus Demnocraits" he meant the sup orters of 'Tillman and the farmers' plat >rm This same gentleman has organized s county and he is nowv making a fruit -s's effort to organize the State to beat T1ill wmuad be is going at his work of organ-I :ing just as we organized to capture thel tae from1 the hands of negroes and scala -gs inl lgis lie mlust think that the po t'il papl-suck'er's of the olden time are ml anger'1 of losmin; their ovenpatiion if Till imu is h-ted. andl I 'rness het is rig~ht, lbe ause it' 'T'ilhian "'gits thar" it means a gen rl husthing of the State house rats and oitical pe nsione'rs. Col Jones, Maj. Smith, and Capt. HIow vdo will be forced to) bid giod-biye to Co mbia an rd goi back to their formecr homes. e part ing will be sad, because these gen inenvi were 'shining' liits' at social recep ons- and~ 1ppular ait the club. 'They couldI~ aaLke the happjiest kind of after-dinner perchesl1~, anud now to, be ruthlessly torn way would be awful, andl to think that the ax paer are threaf~tenuing to tear? them away ai cans', ini thir estimiation, simple iaudlacity. Ne'ertheless the people all ovier the State v that "the best of friiends moust part" oine time or otheir, and now is the time. 'hey want a change in the management of he party and off1ees, and why dont these ellows give way without making such a jesting ? or are they so conceited as to think that with one wave of their hands they will be able to strike terror into the masses and force them to go back to their farms, afraid to carry out their heart's wishes. The campaign orators are going from enunty to county, and the reports that I read -ven in the News and Courier show that Tillan is sweeping everything before him, notwithstanding the fact that at some places much disrespect was shown him, and yet in the face of all this, and in the face of the eneiies of Tilbiaan cirnlating all kinds of danaraging reports, their efforts are fruitless. yet they wil keep on struggling and en deavoring to create dissension. Tillman not only has the great puffer and crusher to tight, but every old line politic ian and the State executive committee, and if he suceeds, and nothing but death will prevent his success, the victory will be the grandest ever won by any man in South Carolina, and the Democratic party will be in as safe hands as it was in the hands of those who preceeded him. It has been said that the officials and their elerks at Columbia have saved no money, and that it is impossible for them to do so on the small salaries they receive. Perhaps so, but I think if these gentlemen who are re ceiving salaries ranging from $1,500 to $3,500 a year, will live in ordinary styleand not think it vulgar to be seen at a dining or a reception dressed in an ordinary coat in stead of a regulation swallow tail; or if when they go out to the club they would make smaller aies and make smaller in vestments in stacks of chips, it is very like ly that they could live comfortably on their salaries. However, it is very probable that this will he their last year of official blessedness, and they ought to make the best of it, and if they get broke there will be no danger of having to walk home, as their political idol and aristocratic organizer heeled himself long ago by resigning bis seat on the Su preme Bench to take a railroad position, and judging from the e.firts he is making for his friends now, he will stick to them to the last, and when all is over and the hust ling day does come a free pass will be issued to the busted faithful in order that their sa. cred feet will not come in contact with cross ties, and that they may not be forced to take ankle excursions on their way home from the scene of years of pap and glory. The clubs of this county will soon elect delegates to the county convention, and I want every Tillmanite to be at his club on the day when the election of delegates takes place. Although this county is overwhelm ingly in favor of Tillman and reform, yet we cannot afford tb be overconfident, be cause we have proressional politicians to con tend with and with some sharp political trick ery it is possible we can be defeated out of our choice: so let every one of us go on du tv at once and show our former leaders that after their years of teaching, their work was not in vain, and that we will prove to them that although usually thick-headed, we have been well taught by them and are apt schol ars, and if this campaign has done nothing more, it has educated a whole lot of clod hoppers, and we will invite our former teachers to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, to attend our graduating exercises which will take place in the city of Columbia on the 10th day of September. Ben Tillman will be first honor man, and George Wash ington Shell will deliver the diploma. FRIENDSHIP.

NEw ZION, July 3.--A new Democratic alub was organized at Pine Grove church, July 1st, 1890, with 104 members, to be known as the Douglas Democratic Club. The tneeting was called to order at 12 o'clock by apt. P. M. Gibbons, who acted as tempo rary chairman. Capt.
