THE MANNING TIMES. 3MEa3n -min g, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1891. Lynching in New Orleans. Last Saturday New Orleans furnished the world with a most startling chapter of crime in the nature of an indignant multitude aroused by the failure of a jury to convict the assassins of her chief of police, Hen nessy, who had been most foully murdered by a band of Italians that belonged to a se cret society. This society for thirty-five years had stayed the hands of the courts and prevented convictions whenever they were interested, and when the jury in the Hen nessy case after sitting twenty-five days and hearing positive evidence against the pris oners on trial, vet rendered a verdict of not guilty, the multitude was aroused with the determination to avenge the death of the chief of poliee. Acall was issued and signed by merchants, lawyers, doctors, and other of the most prominent citizens of New Orleans, calling on the peop'e to assemble on a public square in broad open'daylight prepared fo action. This call was responded to by about five thou: ind people, embracing some of the best citizrns of the city, and then led by two proL.inentlawyers they went to the parish jail, broke open the doors, and riddled nine of the prisoners with bullets, and took two others out and hanged them to lamp posts. The officers of the law were powerless, and did nothing to prevent the angry crowd from carrying out their pur -The lynchers justify their conduct oelaiin that justice had been cheated b a brib jur. The jurymen in the case fled in haste and hid themselyes to escape the people. The lynching has caused considerable un favorable comment throughout the Union, and the people of New Orleans are being censured. The Italian government has taken action and will endeavor to obtain reparation from the United States government, and will want those engaged in the lynching pun ished. Punishment, however, is-out of the question in such a case of popular approv It would be utterly impossible to obtain a jury to convict these men under the cir cumstances. Lynching is wrong and should be de nounced, yet in this case where the people tried the courts, but by the use of money the jury was bribed and the prisoners al lowed to escape, lynch law will have a ten dency to exert a healthy influence with fu ture juries in New Orleans especially. Lynching is wrong, but granting that in this case it was right, the people of New Orleans made a serious mistake in not lynching the jury along with the prisoners. If lynching is ever justifiable it would be in the case of a bribed jury that had, in the face of convicting testimony, acquited a person charged with a high crime. Y. I. B. &L A. The Young Men's Building and Loan As sociation of Manning advertises in this is ue that its books will be open for subscrip tions in order that it may become a char tered institution. This Association has been running a.little more than a year, and both for borrowers and investors it is one of the best institutions ever operated in Claren don. To persons who have not enough noney to build a house, and who in conse quence have been renting for years. it is a godsend. By paying $6 a month, the asso eation will build a $300 house, and by April 1, 1896, the house will be paid for. Such a house- will readily rent for $6 a month. To our young men and others who have two, three,'or five dollars that they could easily lay aside each i.onth, it presents a fne field for investme.it. The money will Jnot only be saved, where otherwise it would ~be wasted forecigars and such, but it will pay at least twenty-five per cent. per an Snum on the investment? It not only tenisone to practice economy and saving, Vbut it pays the best dividends of any finan icial institution in the county. The books of subscription will be opened defarmonth from next Tuesday, and every one who possibly cart should take stock. 'Th~e association has only five years longer Sto run, and then all mortgages will be can celled, and the money on hand will be di iided among those stockholders who have Snot borrowed. Money will be loaned in any part of the 'county for building, repairing, or enlarging. A A Popular Paper. A areincrease of advertisements ren Sders asupplement a~i necessary. The Times is one of the betand newsiest pa aesi the State, and few country papers ~ ea better advertising patronage. Every -.oywants to read the Times, and if they ~vutte money to pay for it, they beg MR ifrom some of their more fortunate neigh Ebors and read it any way. It costs only ,three cents a week, and it seems to us that Rit ought to becheaper to pay thismnall sum Sthan to beg, borrow, or steal it. ~Captain W. M. Haile, sheriff of Berkeley S cony, died at Mt.

After April 1st, sugar is to be placed on 'the free list. As the average duty on sugar is.about 21 cents a pound. this ought to re duce the retail price two or three cents on eery pund. There is very little sugar now tob had except in the retail stores. The State, the new paper published in Co -slumbia, has agreeably surprised many per sons in this State. Somehow or other the impression got out that the paper was to be ablood-and-thunder organ, opposedin every way possible to the present Administration. KOn the contrary, however, during its first month's existence it has been on its best behavior, and is good natured and conserv ative. It has won mnany friends and lost none. A Social Sociable at Wllsons. -Wzrsoics, March 17.-What can be better calclated to develop sociability, the noblest and grandest of all characteristics, in young people as well as old, than a socirl gather rag of both sexes, with each and all on the same footing; where that chilly thing they call reserve is thrown aside, and jest and godhumor are the talisman of the hour; where, without any constraint whatever, -every one feels at liberty to do or say any. thing he pleases, within the bounds of prc priety, and it is but a pleasure for each one to look after the pleasure of some one else ? We claim the above description for the Union Histrionic club meetings at Wil sons, and it was only necessary to be at the meeting last Friday night, and see the jolly faces, and hear the bouyant laughter of but~h yung and old, to see that such meetings - an but have a good influence, and a noble ending.

Johnstcn would imiake the distance the next day by what was gen erally termed a "forced march." On the next day, which was Sunday, we leard to our surprise that Vicksburg had surren dered. [To be continued.) Office of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. SUMTER, S. C., Mar. 10, 1891. Editor Manning Times:-You will please state to your readers that we have finished opening up our spring stock, and that we are prepared to fur nish all goods in our line at the very lowest figures. We extend a cordial invitation to the people of Clarendon to visit our store and make a close inspection of our goods and prices, and we guar antee to be able to show up as fine assortment of goods as can be seen in any establishment. Our stock of dress goods is the hand somest we have ever had, and for beautiful designs cannot be excelled anywhere. We have taken special care this spring with this stock in or der to compete with such establish ments as make dress goods a speci alty. In white goods, laces, embroideries and edgings we have an endless va riety, and can sell them cheaper than any house in town. These goods as displayed by us make a magnificent show, and it is worth a trip to Sumter just to look -at the beautiful figures and designs. Giugham and zephyr suitings are made up this year in the handsomest designs we have ever seen, and it was our good fortune to get into market before the cream of the designs were picked over, therefore we laid in a large stock of these goods knowing that the demand for these goods at this season of the year is great, and by buying in a large quantity it ena bles us to sell them much cheaper than those houses that buy in smaller quantities. By buying goods in case lots a considerable discount is ob tained, and we always give our cus tomers the benefit of such discounts. Now is a splendid time for the ladies to do their shopping. They can make the very best selections from fresh goods just opened, and at the same time have their spring dresses with the beginning of the season. All of our dress goods are bought witn trimmings to match, so that when a lady buys a dress she need not run all over town trying to find the suitable trimmings. These trim miugs when sold with the dress are sold at a nominal profit. We have a magnificent line of gents' clothing. All of the very latest styles can be found at our store, and our patched pocket sack 1saits are very nobby and attractive. We are able to sell a real good business suit for less money than any other house in Sumter. The shoe stock we never let run down, and this season our stock is larger thain ever. We were forced to buy heavily this spring in order to meet the demands on us for our shoes, as the people have found out that we sell these goods cheap and only keep a reliable article. Our whole stock is complete, and no one can form an idea of the im mensity of our stock without giving same a personal inspection. We have a great many customers in Clarendon, largely through the in strumentality of your valuable paper, and we think it is unnecessary for us to do any more than merely announce that our spring goods are in stoet, and that we wvould be delighted to have them come in to see us.

From Battery Palmer to Mississippi Spring of 1863. BY A SPROTT GUARD. On reception of the order to report to Gen. Johnston in Mississippi, Co. I made a few hasty preparations, and we were soon on our way to Charleston. On reaching Charleston all of the 22rd S. C. Volunteers were again together, and were now under the following officers: Col. H. L. Benbow, Lieut.-Col. J. M. Kinloch, and Maj. M. V. Bancroft. Evans's Brigade was now con posel of the 17th, 18th, 22nd, 23rd, and the 2th Regiments, and the Holcombie Legion, all South Carolina Volunteers. The 26th Regiment was now attached to Evans's Bri gade, and continued from this time till the end of the war a part of this brigade. After reaching Charleston we remained there till some time in the evening of that day. At the appointed time we marched to the de pot, and having boarded the train were soon on our way for Jackson, Miss. A BAILROAD ACCIDENT. Things went all right in every way till the train crossed the .Tombigbee River. Be tween this river and Meridian we had an accident. The commissary car by the break ing of its coupling in some way jumped the track and rolled down an embankment some twelve or fifteen feet high, and striking the ground at the base of the embankment, broke in half. There were three men in the car, but luckily none of them were killed. One was seriously, one painfully, and one only slightly hurt. The one seriously hurt never fully recovered from the effects of the accident. Ile was ever after a cripple till his death, which occurred about three years after the end of the war. The one painful ly hurt recovered after a while, and is still living, and I have Ino doubt has never for gotten and never will forget this accident. The account of the one in the car who was slightly hurt, and went down the embank ment in the car, was very amusing, and he used to enjoy relating the circumstance. He would tell he was in the car, and when the car struck the ground at the base of the em bankment the commissary stores were tum bled about promiscuously, and in the tum bling of things he tumbled down on the floor of the car, and a barrel of hard tacks (soldiers' bread) rolled on and over his head. He said when he heard the hard tacks breaking and mashing in the barrel he was certain the jig was up with him and he gone beyond a "peradventure," for he tho-ght all the bones in his head were mash ed to atoras. As soon as he could recover from his fright he said he had a thorough en'mination of his knowledge box all by himself. In feeling the top and mashing the sides of his head, he was satisfied the revolution of the barrel of hard tack had not seriously interfered with the arrange ments of nature, and that his head was stil level and even, and would continue to be a sound and whole head if he did not get a Yankee bullet through it when he got down to or in the vicinity of Vicksburg, the point he was on the road for. is MUS5ISSIPPL After this accident the rest of the passage was made .witho-t any further hindrance, and the 23rd reached Jackson in due time. We went within a mile and a half of Jack son. At this point we had to leave the cars, which could not go any nearer to Jackson. Yankee raiders had been through that sec tion a short while before this, and had torn up the railroad. We remained here a few days, and then established a camp on the Pearl River. Here we remained about three weeks, waiting for Gen. Jonnston to collect a number of troops sufficient to march to the relief of Gen. Pemberton and his be sieged troops then in and around Vicks burg. Evans's Brigade was now attached to Loring's Division, and probably num bered about twenty six hundred men. Tho ranks of the 23rd Regiment, with the other regiments composing the old brigade, had been by battle and disease fearfully thinned out. The 26th was quite large in numbers, and at this time it might be said fresh, its duty having been to remain and help pro tect different points on the coast of South Carolina. This regiment from this time to the end of the struggle constituted a part of the brigade, and heroically performed its duty, and sacrificed many of their lives up on the altar of their country. cHAEGED wrrH . znAD smE~S. While waiting at Jackson for Gen. John ston to collect a force suhficient to undertake the deliverance of the Confederates then hemmed in at Vicksburg, we could dis tinctly hear the cannonading, and very cor rectly imagine what those noble Confeder ates were undergoing to repel and resist the Northern invaders. Gen. Grant had for some little time tried to carry the positions around Vicksburg by force of arms, and af ter failing in this fell to ditching and throw ing up dirt. The Federals had made sev al charges on the works, and as many times had been repulsed with dreadful slaughter. In one of these charges it was claimed by Gen. Grant (so it was reported) that Gen. Pemuberton had charged his guns with rail road spikes, and from his guns had hurled them among the ranks of his men. This w'es the only manner in which he could ac cour.' for the wholesale destruction of his troops. This claim of course never could be substantiated, but even if it could have been I think Gen. Pemberton had a right to charge his guns with any kind of a missile that would kill a Yankee. The Federals it will ever be remembered resorted to many measures for the subjugation of the South during that struggle that were revolting, and many of their measures were crimes aga:nst God and humanity, so the charge could come with ill grace (even if it were so) from a Yankee. We have now reached the last days of June 1863. While on the Pearl River ,ve had the op portunity of enjoying the pleasures of its waters by swimming and bathing in them, which were more than delightful at this time. The weather was very warm, and for this reason made the waters of the Pearl River appreciative. It now being ascertained that Gen. John ston had collected as large an army as he could, the order came for Johnston's army to move forward to Vicksburg. The order to the 23rd was to fall in line. The 23rd promptly formed in line with Col. H. L. Benbow commanding, and was soon with the other troops on the march for Vicks burg. The weather being very warm, and it being in the midst of a dry spell or drouth, we had to arrange our march so as to avoid being overcome by the heat. The program of march was to commence early in the morning and march till about eleven o'clock, halt and rest, and then about three or four o'clock in the evening resume our march. The weather being warm and the road very dry caused the dust to rise in clouds, and over, around, and among us made it very disagreeable, almost suffocating. With all the disagreeable features of a soldier's life there would come in times of amusement. HOT AND DUsTY. Water was very scarce and hard to get. The people through this part of Mississippi at that time used cistern water, and there were very few if any creeks in this part of the State, unless it was a few that we some times call wet weather creeks. In our march and stirring up the dust it would be amusing. The dust would settle on us, and men with beard would look simply awful. Every man's beard would present the same appear ance in color, and each man could only see how some other mian looked, and could en joy it hugely. Water being scarce and hard to get we were compelled to make the best we could of this condition of things. It has always been and is still the teaching of ge graphy that there aro only five races of men, but at that time it would have been supposed there were six. Our nationalhty would certainly have been hard to deter mine, and to what part of the human fami ly or race we belonged to would have puz led the the wisest of the wise. The troops t this time and on this marcha presented a strange and hideous appearance. Not being able to get water to wash our faces made our feelings as disagreeable as our appear ane was hideous. With ail this disagreea bleness we continued our march towards Vicksburg. Gen. Grant had called a halt to his charging forces, and was patiently wait ing for his faithful ally (starvation) to ac omplish what he could not accomplish with the powers he had at hand. He had a large and well fed army at his command, but he A coul no crr the works ot the on.

STARKEY & PALEN'S Treatment by Inhalation. 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa, For Consuzmption, Asthmaz, Bronchitis, Dyspep sia, (atarrh, ilay Dever, Headache, Debility, Rhzeumnatism, Xeuralgia, and all Chronic and Yercous Disorders. The original and only genuine Compound Oxygen Treatment, that of Drs. Starkey & Palen, is a scientific adjustment of the ele ments of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized; and the compound is so condensed and made portable that it is sent ali over the world. It has been in use for more than twenty years; thousands of patients have been treat ed, and over one thousand physicians have used it, and recommend it-a very signifi cant fact. It does not act as most drugs do, by cre ating another ailment, and benefitting one organ at the expense of another, often re quiring a second course to eradicate the evil effects of the first, but Compound Oxygen is a revitalizer, renewing. strengthening, in vigorating the whole body. These statements are confirmed by nn merous testimonials, publisheda in our book of 200 pages', only with the express permis sion of thec patients; their names and ad dreses are givenl, and you can refer to them for fnrther information. Trhe great success of our Treatment has given rise to a host of imitators, unscrnpu lous persons; some calling their prepara tions Compound Oxygen, often appropriat ing our testimonials and the names of our atients, to recommend worthless concoc tions. But any substance made elsewhere or-by others, and called Compound Oxygen, is spurious. "'ompoul O.rgen-lis Mode of Action and liesuls," is the titie'of a new book of 200 pages, published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cure-s in a wide range of chronic cases-many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians.
