Intendant D. M. Bradham deserves
great praise for his excellent arrange
ment last Saturday to preserve peace
and good order. He as well as other
members of the council were on duty
all day to suppress any disorder that
might arise. Sheriff Lesesne was also
prepared to render assistance in pre
serving order.
Last Thursday several families of
the Fork section had a day's outing at
Brewington. Boat-riding, fishing,
and a big dinner was the order of
the day. Shortly after dinner a heavy
rain came up, and several of the crowd
were treated to a good wetting. Taken
altogether the day was spent very
pleasantly by all.
Col. R. R. Hudgins never does
things half way. He determined to
give a picnic last Thursday at Brew
ington, and not satisfied with himself
furnishing a magnificent picnic din
ner, he made a large row boat, put it
on a wagon, put twenty-five young
people in it, carried them to the lake,
and they spent the day most pleasant
ly boating, courting, etc. Returning
that afternoon they got a good wet
ting from a heavy rain.
Messrs. Rutledge & Tindal, of
Summerton, have proven that pluck
and energy will make a success of al
most anything. These gentlemen un
dertook the exclusive furniture and
undertaking business in their town,
and judging from the magnificent line
of furniture they carry in stock, they
have made a great success. They
sell any kind of a set of furniture a
person may need, at prices to suit the
times. When in need of anything in
their line, give them a trial, and we
feel satisfied you will be pleased.
A difficulty occurred at Greeleyville
last Saturday night, caused by a ne
gro offering some insult to Mr. John
Hogan, which was resented by Mr.
Hogan's knocking the negro down
and punishing him severely. Some
other negroes standing by started to
interfere, but they wisely concluded
that Mr. Hogan was right, and desist
ed. Mr. Hogan, by the way, had two
of his fingers about a month ago cut
off by a circular saw, and another fin
ger nearly cut off. His wounded hand
sustained considerable hurt in the
melee.
Messrs. Sires & Chandler have re
ently laid in stock a very nice assort
ment of furniture of all descriptions,
sofas, tables, bedsteads, chamber sets,
wardrobes, bed springs, and in fact
everything in a first class furniture
line, which they propose to sell at such
prices as will be pleasing to their cus
tomers. They also have an undertak
Sing department attached, and all or
ders will receive personal and prompt
attention. These gentlemen are here
to remain with us, and we ask for
them a liberal patronage, feeling satis
fled that their customers will be
pleased.
Mr. Ellison Morris, of Salem, whom
we mentioned last week as having
been fatally cut by Mr. Press Conyers
rlast Tuesday morning, died at his res
idence last Thursday morning. It is
reported that before his death he said
',he was at fault in attacking Conyers.
The evening before (Wednesday)
Press Conyers was arrested on affida
Svit of Mr. Madtin Morris. Immedi
?ately after Mr. Morris's death, an in
quest was held by 'Squire Fleming,|
the jury rendering a verdict of death
Sby a knife in the hands of Press Con
yers. Conyers was at once brought
to Manning and lodged in jail, where
She will probably remain till the Octo
ber term of court. Two hours after
the death of Mr. Morris his widow
gave birth to a son.

Picnic at Silver.
Thursday the 24th inst. was Silver's
,ala day. It was a large and grand
yathering of the beauty and chivalry
*rom the various sections of the coun
;y for the purpose of having a day of
enuine pleasure, the number present
being estimated between five and six
aundred. The day was not too warm,
nd an occasional little shower had
;he atmosphere in an elegant condi
ion for the party on pleasure bent.
The Messrs. Briggs had made every
trrangement for the picnic before the
,rowd assembled, and a success they
nade of it. Nothing occurred during
;he day to make one regret having
ittended.
Simon's celebrated string band had
>een procured for the occasion, and
oon after our arrived they struck up a
ively air in a pavilion which had been
rected for the dancers. Of course
he music drew a crowd, and it was
iot many minutes before tl'e young
allants and their lady f'iends were
'tripping the light fantastic toe." The
nusic was fine, and the dancing would
iave done credit to a city select ball,
weither would it be idle boasting to
av that some of the dancers cannot
>e excelled in tie State. The old
olks would pat their feet, keeping
ime to the music and look on the in
atuating scene, admir'ng the young
mnes, and tWk about what they used
o do when they were young. The
eople crowded around the pavilion
o watch the dancers, and those that
ould not get close enough went off
o find some other amusement, which
hey found in the meeting and g.-eet
ng of old friends and acquaintances.
The day wr a round of pleasure,
nd went off re happily as a wedding
east. The happiness was not even
hilled when the announcement was
nade that dinner was ready, and
udging ?*om the response they were
11 ready for the dinner. Four long
ables forming a hollow squrre had
>een erected under the t:ees, and
hese were ladened with the best that
lainty hands could prepare and the
ounty 'ford, turkeys, chickens, bpr
ecued pigs and mutton, hams, beef,
,hicken-pies, salads and pickles, vege
ables of all kinds, pies, cakes, pud
lings, custards, iced lemonade, ice
ream, in fact everything that could
>ossibly tempt one's appetite was
here, and in the greatest abundance.
here was no confusion about the
nanagement at the tables. The com
nittee of ladies and gentlemen in
:harge managed excellently, as every
3ody was made comfortable at the
ables and was promptly served.
As soon as dinner was over danc
ng was resumed and continued for
;he rest of the day. The men that
were not engaged in the dance walked
:ff in groups and engaged in that all
tbsorbing topic, politics. Every min
ate a telegram was expected from
Sumter announcing the result of the
ounty convention which met on that
ay, and the telegraph operator must
have been worn out informing the
anxious inquirers, "there is no news
yet." All kinds of rumors were afloat,
but nothing definite was learned until
the five o'clock train from Sumter ar
rived, which brought the news of
Tillman's success. The moment the
announcement was made, it was
greeted with a shout that made the
welkin ring, and old men were so full
of joy that they cut up t 0 many anticE
as would a child upon receiving a
pretty toy.

One bottle Johnson's Chill and FevE
Economical Legislative Changes.
EDIroR MANNING Tnt:-Will you
allow me space through the columns
of your estimable paper to give ex
pression to some of my ideas in re
gord to economy and reform? And I
do not think I am alone in these
ideas. The f-st matter that I propose
to consider is economy in our county.
Why carnot the treasurer's and audit
i or's office be consolidated ? This
would save the county somewhere be
tween five and seven hundred dollars.
And why could not the school com
missioner's pay be r- 'aced? P11 of
this would he'p, and more especially
if it could be turned over to the free
school fund.
Now this is a matter that I propose
having something to say about, and
that is the -ee school business. I
consider the present mode of manage
ment almost a perfect humbug. There
is enfirely too -ttle time given in by
the teachers for the amount of money
paid out. The idea of only teacLing
:rom 4 1-2 to 5 hours each day is
perfectly absurd and 1idiculous. When
parents go to the trouble of dressing
up their children and lose their time
also, they expect them to be learnt
something, but I w;l teil you there is
precious little they leern. I have
heard the parents complain very
much; I have he-d the teachers say
myself that they have had to start
the same children this year where they
were started the year before. It is
the money worked for, and not the
education of the children considered.
I only wish I had the power to make
one or two laws. I would make it
obligatory on every man to educate
his cbildren, for education is power,
and it is the only salvation for the
Anglo Saxon race.
Now I'll say a little about State
matteij. Now there is the railroad
com. What good is it doing the
people? Not a particle that we can
see. There is the com. of agriculture.
What good is that doing? If it has
been the means of improving the
standard of guano or has done any
other good it is more than we can
perceive. These are some of the ex
penses that I think can very well be
trimmed down without doing the peo
ple or State the slightest damage.
Now to a matter of far more impor
tance in the way of economy than
any other matter, and that is the con
vening of the legislature every year.
Now is there any necessity for this?
I think not. The laws are all made
and what more is necessary? The
men we send to the legislature do but
very little for there is but little for
them to do, or it amounts to very lit
tle after all. Some fellow will get up
and offer a resolution to amend an
act to entitle an act and the conse
quence is that it is only an act on his
part any way though costing the State
a good de,-.
I think a good idea, and I am not
alone in these ideas, that the legisla
ture should not be required to con
vene every year. Every other year
would be as I think sufficient. Just
think of what could be saved by this,
something like $140,000 or $150,000.
Just think of this. This cau all be
done, and why not ? Now suppose
this was done and this money revert
ed back to the people in the way of a
school fund, what a help it would be.
The convening of the legislature
could be left in the hands of the gov
ernor in case of an emergency. All
this can be done if we send the right
kind of men to the legislature, and
this is a matter that we should not
lose sight of, to send the right men
there, for it is as Capt. Tillmaan says,
he can do but little without help.
I think this is another matter of
great importance, and that is to change
the matter of having elections every
two years. Why not have all elections
the same year "that the President is
elected ? This would give us a little
peace and quietness for a while.
Think of these things, friends, and
let us have a change. I am sure it
will do no harm.

A (!lodmnasher's Consolation for the Antis.
EDITOR hIANNING Tnmxs:-As hard
work is about over and the crops arc
about laid by, I have concluded to
give you a few dots from this locality.
Crops are not as good generally in
this section as at the same time last
year: corn will be shorter than last
year; cotton will we hope improve if
we can get a good season in a few
days, and the indications at present
are such as to lead us to hope so.
Visiting, going fishing, and discuss
ing politics is the order of the day
with some. Politics though in this
community is very dull; indeed there
is but one side to politics and that is
Tillman, chock full and running over,
and we are not annoyed with any
Anti-Tillmanism, so you may correct
ly guess all goes well.
The Jordan Democratic club organ
ized on the 19th inst. with about
ninety-eight members: all Tillmanites,
no Antis. The few Antis that form
erly belonged to that club left with
all speed with a few others on the fast
train of W. & S. Railroad to capture
the Summerton club, but how sad
were they when reaching the grounds
and casting their nets they could only
haul in fifteen members (so I have
been told), the Tilhananites mustering
in the neighborhood of eighty or a
hundred.
I was very much amused at a Till
manite who was at a certain point
when the train with the contingent
passed, going at the speed of two
hops and a jump. He says they had
all the sashes down and all the blinds
I up. Poor fellows, how bad to be so
- disappointed ! They deserve credit
-for their effort to try and capture
Sumerton club, and I have no doubt
Ethe aristocracy will ever hold them in
- rateful remembrance for the glorious
i ffort they made for the success of
aristocracy even if they did get left,
-and by way of consolation I will say
Ito them be not cast down, for a bigger
crowd than this will be left on the
10th of September next, for in all
jprobability the Anti-Tillmanites one
and all have arrived at the conclusion
by this time that they had as well at
tempt to lock the wheels of the uni
movement and the elevation of Farm
er Ben to the highest office within
the gift of the people of South Caro
lina. The Antis may now conclude
to cast about to know if there is any
balm in Gilead, and I will say to them
there is, and by way of comfort to
their troubled souls and disappointed
aspirations will point them to the six
ballot boxes next November and the
;ee and full pardon of a

Sumter District Conference.
On Wednesday, July 16, the twentieth
,ession of the Sumter District Conference
was opened in the pleasant town of Man
ing, with a good sermon by Rev. J. Marion
Rogers. Promptly on time Thursday morn
ng the Presiding Elder called the confer
nce to order, and after the opening relig
tous exercises and the preliminaries of or
anization, in which Rev. E. 0. Watson was
e-elected secretary, and Rev. B. D. Lucas,
ssistant secretary, proceeded immediately
o the work in hand, which was pushed
teadily forward. Reports from charges
were full but concise. No time was lost
beating about the bush to scare out a fact or
wo, but Presiding Elder Beasley, perfectly
it home in the chair, held things to the
point, and speedily but clearly brought out
al necessary information, so that time was
ad for the free discussion of a number of
important questions. In these discussions
Brother James W. Kilgo and others declared
:hemselves very positively as t> "the duty
)f preaching on the subject and mode of
baptism." Brother Dars gave us an ex
haustive argument setting forth the duty of
bse. ing stated facts. Brother Wait pre
sented weighty thoughts on the subject of
worldly amusemen -. Brother Hodges de
lared himself favorably concerning the
sefulness of choirs avd organs. Brother
leaton gave the brethren a general stirring
up as to pastoral attention to children, and
Brother Bissell spoke concerning the possi
bility of the Scriptures being irreverently
regarded as a result of the manner of hand
ling on lesson papers, quarterlies, etc.; and
Brother Clinkseales at the request of the
president discussed the "objects of the
Sunday-school, and are they being realized?"
ther brethren than those mentioned t-ok
part in these discussions, but we mention
nly those who opened the discussions.
No question entertained the conference
more than the discussion as to the "exercise
of discipline to the extent of excomraunica
tions of members who will not contribute
to the support of the church," in which
Brothers S. A. Nettles and J. F. Rhame gave
us their thoughts as from the pew. Brother
Rhame took the high ground that the non
payment of assessments was an actionable
offense under the discipline, but advised
that on this ground the church should tread
softly. Dr. Kirkland put in some sledge
hammer blows on this subject that will
hardly be forgotten, at least by some pres
ent.
We had the pleasure of having with us our
editor, Dr. Kirkland, who continues to give
us the paper of the connection; Professor
Clinkscales, who knows how to present the
claims of Christian education in general
and the Columbia Female College in partic
ular; and our irrepressible beggar John C.
Kilgo, of Wofford, who got several hundred
dollars more from our district for Wofford's
endowment, which amount we hope he will
greatly increase by futire visits to our
charges.
We are glad to have with us Brothers
Leard and W. W. Mood, and are thankful
for their prayers and counsels, and for that
sermon Brother Mood gave us about the
Phillippian jailer, so full of seed thoughts.
Brother W. H. Hodges of Kingstree circuit
was also with us and preached a good ser
mon on sowing and reaping. On Saturday
afternoon services were held in memory of
Dr. Meynardie, Maj. W. M. Green, and our
Brother Mattison.
The customary resolutions of thanks, etc.,
the reports of committees, etc., were adopted
with the very notable exception of resolu
tions concrnsing the close of the quadren
niun of oatr Presiding Elder. Instead of
this customary action, Rev. W. L. Wait as
spokesman for the conference stated the sad
fact that there was possibly dissatisfaction
on the part both of preachers and laymen
that some preachers possibly thought they
should have been treated to fatter places,
while no doubt the laymen thought they
should have received better preachers, in
view of which it was proposed to cane the
Presiding Elder as the possible author of
all these evils. 'Twas thought best to strike
a soft spot, but not finding anything of the
sort about the head of the P. E., a soft spot
was struck in his heart when with warm as
surances of the love and esteem in which
he is personally held, and of the satisfac
tion and appreciation of his official work,
Mr. Wait presented h' u with a handsome
ebony gold-headed cane, enbg-aved "Rev. J.
S. Beasley, from the Sumter District Con
ference, 1890." Here, Mr. Editor, let the
curtain drop- there was no instantaneous
photographer there end the secretaries can't
record blushes. We will but say the sur
prise of the recipient was unfeigned, and
the speech that might have been in response
to resolutions fled away.
The preaching of the conference during
the week was done by Revs. J. Mr. Rodgers,
E. T. Hodges, E. 0. Watson, W. W. ood,
W. H. Hodges, J. C. Davis, and J. W. Kilgo.
The following announcements were made
of Sunday appointments: Methodist church,
11 a. br., Dr. W. D. Kirkland; Methodist
church, 8.30 P. M., Rev. W. L. Wait; Pres
byterian church, 11 A. M., Rev. E. 0. Wat
son; Baptist church, 11 A. ii., Rev. W. C.
Gleaton; Oakland church, 11 A. M., Rev. D.
A. Calhoun; Colored M. E. Church, 11 A. x.,
Rev. J. J. Workman; Colored M.E. Church,
8.30 P. M., Rev. J. C. Davis.
The preaching heard by this writer was
up to the district conference mark and of
an order to accomplish real and lasting
good.
On Sunday afternoon a missionary meet
ing was held and addresses were made by
Sister Parker, now at home on a visit after
twelve years of mission work in China, and
by Brother B. D: Lucas, who is soon to sail
as a missionary for that field. These servi
ces were inexpressibly touching and have
produced a good impression tbat will long
The following are the delegates elect to
the Annual Conference: J. W. McLeod, J.
A. Sprott, R. E. Smith, B. Mr. Badger, with
L. A. White and Ma-ion Dorn, alternates.
Summerton was selected as the place for
holding the next conference. Shall we be
there, Mr. Editor ? Ah ! who can tell.
Pleasant recollections have we of that dis
trict conference three years ago in Sutamer
ton, the first of the quadrenniuim of the
present presiding elder, and pleasant rec
ollections will we have of this at Manning
at the close of that quadrennium, pleasant
recollections of the conference itself, and
of the hospitality and social enjoyments of
this delightful town. E. 0. WArsoN.
