THE IANNING TIlES.l Mana n ig-, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. LOW VALUES FOR TAXATION. There are two views to take of the report of the grand jury of Sumter county, which presented the bond of County Treasurer Keels as insufficient and recommended that he be not al lowed to perform the duties of his office till it was strengthened: either that the grand jury is ignorant of the value of the lands of their county, or that it was a species of political per secution. We prefer to attribute it to ignorance. The true blame rests upon the board of equalization and the auditor of last year. These men took an oath to see that the property of the people was properly assessed, and yet in the face of this oath this board of equalization swore that land that had been sold or could easily be sold for more than $12 per acre was worth for taxation only $3 an acre. And the auditor, though it was his sworn duty to see that all property was listed at or near its true value, -ntly acquiesced ip this equaliza EM-M The above needs no further com - ment, but it contains abundant food for deep meditation, and Sumter county is no exception to the rule in South Carolina. Every citizen of the State should read the article in the next column, under the captipn, "Keels's bond all right." WAR SKETCHES. Next week we will publish the last of the series of Sprott Guard's inter esting war sketches, which have ap peared in the Tmrs during the past three months. They have been a source of pleasure and profit to our readers, and "Sprott Guard" has their thanks for his work. We are now pleased to state that CaL D . Bradham, one of the best most pleasing writers of the coun ty, bas, at the solicitation of numerous old soldiers and other lovers of our loved lost cause, consented to review these articles of Sprott Guard, and to 've other additional and valuable information of the actions of the gal laut 23rd regiment. Capt. Bradham is well qualified for this task, having been an officer, and having lost his left arm while gallantly leading his company through a rain of Yankee lea The first of Capt. Bradham's arti es wi appear next week. Judge Simonton has decided that the United States courts have juns diction in the Coosaw case, which de miion gives the advantage to the Cooaw party. We publish this week a telegram to the New York Hun about the forma tion of a third party in this State, w; hich 'will be news to our people. Of course there is no truth in the -.tment, and the whole thing is gotnup simply to satiate the abnor .iai and 'vitiated appetite of the KNorthern Republicans, and to at tempt to bring reproach on the farm jng or laboring element of the State. -STATE PE!SS ASSOCIATION( To Take aFloridaTriP totheHead oftfhe St. Johns River.

Cwmerasow, April 19.-The recent meet gin Columbia of the white Republicans of this State, has caused a tremnendous sen aation. In spite of the efforts of the party leaders here and in Washington to diared it the movement, it is growing. andi its ranks are rapidly being recruited from the Demo cratic pat. A. W. Clayton, a prominent Rhiepublican, who was instrumentalmi geting upthe movement, is out ina card today in which he says: "Th object of the Convention was to form a Republican League in this State as a branch of the National Republican League, and to elect delegtes to the Cincinnati Con 'vention of said 'ational League. We ree cignize as fully as the gentlemen at Wash ington that the whites of this State cannot join a party led by Smalls, Miller, and equally offensive Bepublicans. Our object is to form a nucleus around which white maen may rally on protection, ballot reform, and the money question, ignoring the race ques tion only to accord the negro his rights as an American citizen." There is more in the movement here than a mere flash in the pan. The meeting was the frst distinctively white Republican Con vention ever held in the State. The pres ne of a large number of prominent white men, who have heretofore been leaders in the councils of the Democratic party, makes it especially significant at this time. It was announced when President Har rison was inauj~r ted that his purpose was to establish a. wl'te Repuiblican party in the South, and thus break the solid South. The President's policy has been very effectively crried out by the Alliance in this State. Rundrds of leading Democrats here will join the new movement if they get half a chance, Old line Democrats in the State are wearied with the political situation. The farmers' movement, so called, has side trcked the oldparty, and the new depart ure wmj amn man7 innameer. Keels's Bond all Right. CoLnmmtI, April 21.-The commis sion to examine the bonds of county and other officials met this morning in the office of Secretary of State. The case of the bond of Treasurer Keels, of Sumter, was taken up and disposed of finally. Auditor Thomas, of Sumter, was examined personally. Treasurer Keels being represented by his son as attorney. After hearing the evidence of the auditor and reading thirty-five affida vits going to show the sufficiency of the bond, the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That D. E. Keels as treasurer of Suniter County, nas produced before this board satisfactory evidence that the sureties to his bond, objected to as owning insntie ient property, are worth the bond clear of debt, and therefore this board do approve of said bond unbanimously. The afflants to the value of the bonds are as follows: J. A. Miller, $60,000; H. A. Player, $35,000; J. H. Wilson and W. A. Teller, $50,000; W. R Smith, $50,000; R. A. Frierson, $40,000; Marvin Darr, $45,000; RL W. Welch, $40,000; Thom as R McElween, $40,000; R. J. An derson and G. E Richardson, $60, 000; John S. Pitts, $45.000; J. D. Clark, $35,000; Stephen Herran, $60, 000; H. V. Anderson, $50,000: J. W. Hodge, $55,000; J. A. Dennis, $50, 000; J. K. McElween $50,000; J. L. Goodman, $40,000; J. K. McElween, Jr., $50,000; RL M. McFaddin, $47, 000; J. H. Byrd, $46,000. Andrew Thomas makes affidavit that all these affiants are truthful men. He also states under oath that Jacob Keels, John E. Wilson, R T. Keels, F. J. Goodman and R N. Chandler, bondsmen of D. E. Keels, are real estate owners, and that the lands in the neighborhood of their lands have been sold in the past few months at from $21 to $25 per acre; that the DeSaussure farm, in Sumter county, 2,600 acres, has been assessed at $8,290, and was purchased by the Penitentiary for $25,000; that lands of J. A. Aycock, 8,603 acres, returned at $25,600, cannot be bought for $100, 000; that lands of D. G. Williams, as sessed at $3.50 per acre, were sold in 1890 for $21; that lands of W. D. Hinds, adjoining lands of D. F. Keels, sold in 1890 for $17 an acre. County Clerk Graham testifies that there are no mortgages or judgments against Jacob Keels, R F. Keels, or K. Pennington; that he is well ac quainted with the property of R F. and Jacob Keels, and from reliable in formation obtained as to 3. ft Wilson, R. W. Chandler and F. J. Goodman he believes their property would sell for more than $20,000, clear of liabil ities. Jacob Keels swears that he is now and was when he signed the bond worth $6,000; R F. Keels that he is worth $10,000; E. J. Goodman, $2,000, and W. L. Keels, $2,000.-News and Courier. The Races in the Counties. Of the thirty-five counties which constitute the State of South Caroli na, in eight only do the whites out number the blacks, and the names of these eight counties will cause some' surprise, as some of them are so widely separated from the others. The eight are Anderson, Chester field, Greenville, Horry, Lexington, Oconee, Pickens, and Spartanburg, the combined white population of which is 153,955 against a colored population of 85,007. In seven additional counties, viz., Aiken, Charleston, Florence, Lancas ter, Marion, Union, and York, the whites, though less numerous, are not much behind the colored popula tion in numbers, amounting as they do, to 102,277 as against a colored population of 129,236, so it will be seen that the aggregate white popula tion of fifteen counties out of the thir ty-five counties of the State exceeds the colored by some forty thousand and over. In the eleven counties of Abbeville, Barnwell, Chester, Clarendon, Colle 1ton, Fairfield,' Hampton, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, and Williams burg, the colored population is almost two to one in excess of the white. ' In the five counties of Darlington, Edgefield, Kershaw, Laurens, and Marlborough, while the colored pop ulation is greatly in excess of the white, the proportion is not as great as above; but in Sumter county the population is almost three to one in favor of the colored population. In the three counties of George town, Berkeley, and'Beaufort, the col ored population is in excess cf the whites in the following propor tions: Georgetown, 4 to 1; Berkeley, 6 to 1: and Beaufort 14 to 1. From these figures it is shown that there is no reason why the coast, any more than the upper counties, should not hold a white population outside of the cities.-Carlesonz World. The Germ Destroyer. In the field of discovery and inven tion, medicine has not kept pace with surgery. That, perhaps, is natural; service surgery is the mechanical branch of medicine. The general ac ceptance of the germ theory of dis ease, however, opens a new field for medicine, anel will take it~ completely away from the mediteval superstitions that still cling to its skirts. And yet medicine is not without its discover Iies. It has long been known, and the fact is now recognized wherever the test has been made, that Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) will destroy the germs of malarial disease, the :nicrobes of skin disease, and the bacilli of contag jous and other forms of blood poison ing, ejects them from the blood, and purifies and builds up the system. No medical discovery of our day has achieved such remarkable success. Augusta Equals Chicago in Divorces. Eight divorces were granted in eighty minutes in the Superior Court in Augusta on Monday. The average time consumed in putting asunder those whom God had joined together was ten minutes, but in one or two of the cases the court made a special spurt and dissolved the bonds in sev-1 en minutes by a stop-watch. This is not a record of which the respectable people of our neighboring city and State should be proud. It is, howev er, one of the signs that Georgia does indeed belong to "the New South." So soon as the news can be carried to Indiana, Illinois, and Rhode Island, 'perhaps it will cause a steady stream of not very desirable immigrants from A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE. 'he Bride a Lineal Descendant or Gen. Moultrie-The Groom also a Descend ant of a Historical Kershaw aily. EDiTor.

The bridal party arrived at the church at half past six o'clock. where a large and se lect assemblage of friends were wiuting to witness the tying of the silken cord that would bind two hearts together. The church was beautifully decorated with the choicest flowers of the season. Large festoons hung in graceful profusion, shedding their fra grance on all around. The britiai party, consisting of ten couples, entered the church with graceful step to the inspiring strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, rend ered by the highly accomplished Mrs. John C.

The bride received many handsome and costly presents. There were a great many ladies present, with elegant costumes, but not being anu'ex pert in the art of describing ladies' costumes will not attempt to do more than to give a brief' description of the dresses worn by the bride and her maids. The bridal couple on entering the church were preceded by Misses Annie Brailsford and Emma Cantey as best girl and first bridesmaid respectively. The former wore embroidered znuslin, cherry surah sash, silver ornaments; the latter wore white china silk, silver ornaments.

The bride is one of the most popular young ladies in this section. She has always been considered a great beauty and favorite. She belongs to one of our oldest and best families, being a great-great grand-daughter of Gen. William Moultrie, af Revolutionary fame.
