J. G. DrsNrNs & Co.
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.

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 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.

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.

That great game of ball between the P

unevilles were defeated by a s.core of ir
:7 to 8. We (the Junevilles) are not

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

Ne'ertheless the people all ovier the State

'hey want a change in the management of

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.

FIe Boys Killed by Lightning in Wil
liamisburg.
KIN~GsTREE, July 5.-At Salters, south of
Black River, about six miles from here,
luring the storm of this afternoon, Louis
3ourdin, white, a son of Capt. JIohn K.
Sourdin, and a colored boy named Moses
Cordes, were out hunting. They took ref
age from the rain under a cedar, which was
struck by lightning and both boys were in
tantly killed. Louis was about ten years
>ld and a promising lad. His maternal
trandfather, the late Dr. W. S. Boyd, was one
$f the most prominent men in Williams
burg.
This is the third death from this appalling
muse that has recently occurred in this vi
ainity. All the victims were boys.
A Benevolent Wish.
Cumso-My dear, do you think that our
>ccupations in the next world will be the
amne as in this?
Mrs. Cur'so-Well, I should be sorry to
hik you tu ould smoke as much there as
lere.
A Marriage Rhyme.
For ten long years we quarreled, but
With this our fighting's done;
Two parties to a row must be,
And now we twain arc one.

"Then give it a seat, my dear .shears."
"Very glad to, sir. Shall we make it a

Bloodgood -So Miss De Vere has put an
end to your hopes, has she ? Did it neatly,
I suppose ?
Travis (petulantly) --Yes, about as n.eatly
as a woman puts an end to a lead pencil.
