THE MANNING TIMES. Maning, . C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4,1891, THE WHISKEY DEVIL. Whiskey is a fearful evil-fearful in its use, its abuse, its consequences. The two homicide cases of last week are both attrib utable directly to this cause. The evidence on the stand was that Henry Shorter when sober was a quiet, peaceable, law-abiding citizen, but when drunk he was quarrel some and dangerous. He got his liquor probably at the tony "saloons" in Man ning, or maybe from the miserable little doggerel in Ward's yard. Anyway he got liquor, mean liquor at that, and as a result was himself hurled headlong into eternity, while blood stains the hands of the father of the young fellow who unlawfully was dis pensing this fire water of hell itself. Ah! the agony that evening's drunken carousal has caused those interested. So in the oth er case: a few drinks of alcoholic poison, a friendly and social tussle between a white man and a negro, a knife and a pistol, the white, man shot down, and the negro to hang for the murder. Three convictions in Clarendon county at one term of court for selling whiskey! Heretofore it has been the generally accept ed opinion that such a conviction in this county was impossible. but, then, you know, this is a year of record breakings. The two soung men convicted, too. are not the kind that generally are taken for the scapegoats, the sin-offerings of justice, but are of the best we have in the county, young men of excellent family and moving in the best so cial circles. Personally each is a friend of ours, and we value their friendship, and while we are sincerely sorry for them indi -vidually, yet we are truly glad that the first convictions have come from among the "higher" class. These young men, doubt less do not regard liquor selling in the same bt as we, whose whole soul is unequivo opposed to the liquor traffic in its en tirety: if so they would never have sold a drop. But are they the only ones guilty of this violation of the law? No, not by a score; nor are they-the only ones to be pun ished. Stop the liquor traffic, the unlawful liquor traffic of . this county, and three fourths of the ciminal work of the court will be dispensed with. The grand jury has presented two other cases, which we pre same will be tried at the next term of court, and we predict for each a conviction. They may as well prepare for paying their fines. And, further, it is not at all improbaole th it a half dozen other eases willalso be brought to the attention of the court, tried, and con victed. The selling of whiskey must stop. Two juries at one court have set the precedent that it is possible to convict for unlawfully selling whiskey, and we believe that in the future, if we have jurors any way compara ble to the last panel, the selling of whiskey unlawfully will be treated in the same light as the committing of any o:her crime, and 'ill be punished accordingly. This viola tion of the law is among the most demor alm ng and damning of any in the catalogue of offences. It entices all ages into Caprean death. It not only does its own primary evil, but assists in creating a general con tempt for the law-a feeling that we are to obey just such laws as suit our own con venience. There are a score or more of lit tiedoggerels scattered over this county, and every community knows of the existence of every one in its midst. We do not hesitate to say that we believe that the grand jury, representing every section of the county, 9_- knows of the existence of every one of these Splaces, and, further, we do not hesitate to s ay that if they do know of these places, or 7.of any other such violations of the law, and falt rpr them, that they fail to carry Kout the oath they have sworn to do. 'We .-are4old that at Packsville there is one whis Skey she p.that makes no pretensions to se Isey this possible ? If so, itis acry '-ing shame on the peoleoftha etion,.. -Some men say it is unmanly to swear nev er to touch liquors, and that any nman should have will enongh to take a drink when he -awants it, and to leave it alone when he don't tomat it. This is not exactly ,the way they limress it, but it is exactly the facts in the eause. Such men can leave it alone when ~'hydon't want it, but when they do want tthyhave not will enough to leave it a7~e Whiskey soon gains the mastery of ''ewill, and then the poor victim can't ~'aeit alone. Every one knows of hun resof such cases. We had a pitiful in snjof it last week in this town, when a man who at the last election was elected to mn of the highest offces of trust and honor ~ thegiftof the people of thisecounty was S'oeeup ina cell in the town guard house Sfot being drunk and disorderly on the street. It was pitiful to see one whom the people Tad put forward as atypical and represent s tive man of this county thus debased and digae.but then it was only another in stane'e of where brains and genius had be o eme subject to the poisonous sovereignty of liquor. Men of Clarendon, fathers, mothers, wives, ~.sisters, brothers, can you afford to sit idly vby and see this devouring monster swallow untoeyou love so well? Can you afford se. these country doggerels inoculate your atherf~ your husband, your son, your broth - wwith this deadly and almost incurable dis ~.e ase? Whom do they benefit ? Is your farm lbrmade more effcient and your commu nity's paeand prosperity benefitted there ~'by? -'here is but one way to stop it, and li. hat is public sentiment. Summerton led by her noble Brock has done well, but that eommunity will do itself an injustice if it &osnow. We venture to say there are a haf dozen of these doggerels within a h' alf dozen miles of Summerton, and we do not hesitate to say that the people of Sum w-merton will do an injustice both to themselves and to the parties whom they were instrumental in convicting, if they cease their work now. It will carry the ap pearance of a persecution. Indict every man in tie neighborhood who is selling the ac .cursed stuff, gather such proof as will ensure their conviction, and then you have done a noble and glorious work. Public sentiment and sympathy will sustain your efiorts: then do your duty. Reorganize your vigilance committee, and stop the traffic. 23rd Eeg. S. C. V. In response to the numerous requests thal: "Member of Sprott Guard" should continue to write up the reminiscences of the 23rd a. C.

We want our people to write up this history, and let the rising generation know what our fathers 7 were and did.

Belton O'Neall Townsend Burnt to Death in His House During the Absence of llis Family. FLomENcE, February 27.--Belton O'Neall Townsend, a prominent young lawyer of this city, well known and connected in Charleston, is believed to have been burned up in hs residence to-mlight. Fire was dis covered in the house about 10 o'clock. The house is on the edge of town and the lre was considerably advanced when discover ed. It was imipossible to search the house thoroughly, but every door was found un locked, except that of the room known to be occupied by Townsend, where the fire orig inated. Townsend was seen by neighbors on the piazza at 6 o'clock in an intoxicated cond tion. His wile and children left him sev eral days ago and he was alone. He was thirty years of age, and considered very bright.I He came here several years !,o from Darlington and had a good client-ge. FLORENcE, Feb. 28.-The body of Belton O'Neall Townsend was discovered in the ruins of his residence about uidnmght. The engines played on that part known to be his bed room continuously until the firemen could go into the ru'ns and search for the remains. He was discovered almost burned to a crisp. One arm was raised above his head and one knee was bent upwards. The left hand and feet were completely burned off and the skull broken. The sight was dreadful. Coroner Burch was summoned and too-k charge of the body. ThE jrry of inquest was impannelled to-day. The examination of witnesses showed that at half-past six o'clock Townsend was in his room on the bed reading, with a pistol under his head. The boy who waited on him left him there. Neighbors noticed that the light went out in his room shortly after. Later an explosion like a pistol shot was heard, and in a few minutes the flames burst out. Mr. Thieme ran to the house when he heard the explo sion and entered, but he could not get to Townsend's room for the fire. Townsend had told friends that he had carefully considered suicide. His life was ve-y unhappy. He bought a pistol several days ago, and later denied having a pistol at all. He told the dealer not to mention his having bought it. The conclusion of the community is that he set fire to the room, probably having first saturated every thing with oil, because of the rapid spread of the fire, particularly in his room, and then shot himself. The pistol was found in the ruins this morning. The jury agreed this evening upon the verdict that the deceased came to his death from burning up in his house. He will be buried here to-morrow with masonic and military honors. What is lacking is truth and confidence. If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other, it wouldn't be necessary for the ma'ers of Dr. Sage's catarrh remedy to back up a plain statement of fact by a $500 guaran tee. They say-"If we can't cure you (iake it person al, please,) of catarrh in the head, in any form or stage, we'll pay you $500 for your trouble in making the trial." -'An advertis ing fake," you say. Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don't put mowy back of "fakes." And '-faking" doesn't pay. Magical little granules-those tiny, sugar coted pellets of Dr. Pierce-scarcely larger than mustard seeds, yet powerful to cure active yet mild in operation. The best liver pill ever invented. Cure sick headache, dizziness, constipation. One a dose. ,OO Sufferer Insists on the Last Word. EDrroR THE MAxxNG TIEs:-In the communication I wrote caling attention to Mt. Hope'Swamp. I had no thought of any controversy, and only did what I or any other citizen had a right to do. Mr. Way took it up, and tried to screen himself and lay the blame on another. The commis sioners may divide their work, but if any part is neglected they are all equally re sponsible. Mr. Way in his second article abandoned all argument as to the matter in q~estion and entered a new line (black guardismi) in which he appears to be more efficient. Iwill pass over his slag to the I ?st paragraph. He says: '"While at Foreston some talked to me and put me on my guard for fear of this swamp critic." Here I will say I was not aware that an honest man ever feared criticism. He further says: "I learned more of Sufferer's general character than I had ever known before, as Sufferer and I had been very slightly acquaintedl, but I found him most universally disliked. - Par ties told me he was a meddlesome old fel low." I have no doubt he heard all that, but I here challenge him to give their names so the good people of Clarendon could know his informers. He heard it all, but it is a slander on the best people here unless he gives their names. He won't do it. As stated above I know I have enemit s here, and a man who has no enemies is of no use to himself, his family, or countr-y, for any man trying to make an honest liv. ing will have enemies. As stated, I have them here, though I have never wvronged them of a cent or told a falsehood on them. One of them lias gone so far as to say on different occasions that I ought to have a stick broken over my head. A friend asked him why he didn't do it. He said my age prevented him. I will here remove that bar rier, and ask him not to consider that any further; and if he does it the law shail not be enforced for the act. suFFRERnm. Foreston, March 2, 1891.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES. :miS S. A. NETTLES. CrtrmTAs-.-Cretonne, Vlift and muslin make the mo'st appropriate curtains for bedrooms. It is now a popular fancy to finish curtains of this kind with a frill of the material. Fawn colored cretomne figured with gold chrysanthenmums and lined with pale-yellow or buff silesia is execed ingly dainty for draping bedroom windows, the soft predoniuanahng shade having a most soothing effect. led-brown and pale-blue also form a pleasing combination. A preity dec oration will consist of a flat box plaiting three inches wide applied to the curtain with a row of stitching made half an inch from each hem of the plaiting; and bands foried of similar plaiting stitched to cqual widths of the silesia may be used to draw the curtains aside. A bow-window should be draped with two curtains, one over the window at each end; and in addition an over curtain, which iq in reality only a deep ruffle, should extend all round the top of the "bow," being arranged to fall gracefully over the other two curtains, and forming the only dra pery of the middle window. The over-curtain should be at least twenty one inches deep and should be deco rated on the bottom and ends with a box-plaiting. Perhaps the most difficult windows to drape when the housewife has to depend mainly upon her owN re sources in the matter of mechanical contrivances, are those having inside blinds. Slightly convex poles are now obtainable upon which to sus pend curtains for windows of this kind, so that the blinds do not tear or disturb the draperies; but when these cannot be procured, a rectangular wooden frame built or-t fr'om the win dow six or eight inches and support ed by brackets at the sides may be used; or a shelf placed at the top of the window and similarly supported with brackets will answer just as well. The curtains are fastened with small tacks to the shelf or frame be fore the latter is placed in position, aud a box-plaiting is added to corceal the tacks and the wood-work. Paint and, indeed, almost any kind of grease may be removed from cloth ing with a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. Apply the liquid plentifully to the spots until the pvaint or grease is well softened; then cleanse with strong soapsuds, and brush theroughlv with a stiff whisk-broom. The mixture should be kept tightly corked when not in use. ExCELLENT RoLLS.-Scald onc pint of new milk and add to it one table spoon sugar, one-half cup of yeast, and enough flour to make quite a stiff batter. Let it rise over night, and in the morning add- half a cup of butter, one teaspoon salt, and the well-beaten whites of two 6ggs. Mix this stiff, knead it well and let it rise, then knead it again and roll it out until three-fourths of an inch in thickness. Cut it with a biscuit cutter, spread butter on one half and roll the other half over it. Let it rise until very light, then bake it. Try this once and you will try it again. Dyspepsia Makes mnany lives miserable, and often leads to self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres sion, etc., are caused by this very common and increasing disease. Hood's sarsaparilla tones the stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys pepsia. Rlead the fonlowing: "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me, or did me little good. In an hour after eating I would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an Immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, an-gone feeling. I have felt so much bettce sinco I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to recommend it." G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass. N. B. Be sure to get only Hood's Sarsaparillia Soldbyalldruggists.
