THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES. Editor. Governor Tillman is opposed to the Sub-Treasury bill, and has consented to discuss the subject with Ben Ter rell, the national Alliance lecturer, at -the next meeting of the State Alh ance. Charleston politics seems destined to be muddled. Governor Tillman removed W. P. Cantwell, the super visor of registration of Charleston, os tensibly because he was holding two .offices. Mr. Cantwell declined to be be removed. Governor Tillman ap pointed Geo. W. Williams as deputy supervisor, and the whole thing is in a confused condition. Mr. Williams has the books of the office, and it is probable that Cantwell will eventually have to accept a kicking out. This is a day of progress. Last Saturday we left Manning after nine o'clock in the morning, spent an hour in Sumter, went to Darlington, spent two and a half hours there, returned to Sumter, where we staid two hours .more, and then got back to Manning a little after seven o'clock. We were thus able in one day between sunrise and sunset to spend two hours and a. half in Darlington, three hours in Sumter, and three hours in our office in Manning. We repeat it that when one can be in three different county seat towns, and do a. full day's work -exclusive of time consumed in travel ing, that it is a day of progress. The new railroad schedules are as convenient as we could reasonably ask for, and the traveling pnblic duly ap predate it, but our mail facilities are .poorer than ever. We now practical ly get but one mail a day, as the Col umbia mail gets here so late at night it is not opened till next morning, by which time the Charleston mail has come in. What we need is a mail service on the other two passenger trains. Then we would indeed be happy, with a double passenger and mail service. Failing to get the double daily mail service, it would be far more convenient to have the Col umbia mail to come on the morning's train. The Columbia morning papers can duly appreciate this suggestion of -a morning mail from Columbia. PUSH AND PROGREN'. The spirit of progress that pervades in other towns is beginning to be felt in Manning, and the signs are more encouraging than they have been for years. S. A. Rigby has enlarged his store; the work of enlarging Dinkins L Co.'s drug store is rapidly going on; and wagons are kept busy haul -ing the material for two large brick stores that will soon be built, thus breaking the monotonous stand-still that Manning has been indulging in. The future of this town is brighten ing, and the day is not far off when the people generally will realize that they must give the elbow touch to >those that desire to improve. Work manatbe done or the posessions of our citizens will be dead as an mnvest To hesitate is folly. Hesitation about building was the cause of a anmber of towns in this State stand ing still while their progressive neigh baors were growing in wealth and af finaence. It was not until some one refused to hesitate longer that the start was made, and as soon as the uding start began other parties .aaw that to make their property mar ketable it had to be. improved and -they too went to work building as a Sinatter ofsef-defense. Then it was Kthat the genuine work of making a city of a quiet village earnestly began. People tried to outstrip each other. If one put up a line house, another put~up a finer one. Thus handsome stores, elegant residences, and large factories were built. Industries of Sother kijids followed, and in a short while the population had wonderfully increased and the march of improve 2ment went stily on. Let us hope that it will be with us the same. Hesitation has stopped, the start has been made, building of stores is going on, dwelling houses -are to be erected, and with a proper enterprise and confidence in ourselves there is no reasonable excuse why cotton, wagon, canning, and other factories cannot be built right here in Manning. What we need is push, energy, and confidence. The writer spent last week in Dar Iington on a visit to relatives, and he was struck with the manner in which the citizens of that town pulled to gether for the advancement of their town's welfare, the spirit of enter .prise displayed by them, and their winning ways towards strangers. As soon as a stranger sirikes Ithe town there will be some one to talk Dar lington to him, to show him the op portunities for investments, and point out to him their increase of property, money, railroads, banks, and other in atitutions. All these things have their effect. At one time within our recollection Darlington was at a stand-still, it was dead, and the people seemed content with the possessions left them by their ancestors. A few strangers moved among them, and they found that there was life in that old land but that it was lying in a trance. They went to work to resuscitate it, and it began to move. They applied more push and energy and then the old timers commenced looking as though something was about to happen, then more grease was applied to the wheels of progress, and the old-timers real ized that if they did not keep in line the strangers would run the wheels of progress over their sleeping bodies. There was a general awakening among the old residents, and the con sequence is that to-day Darlington is a city with electric lights, two rail-I roads, two banks, a cotton factory canning factory, a fertilizer factory) and a number of other industries, be - sides a number of handsome stores, and some of the handsomest resi dences in the State This was accomplished in a few~ short years by welcoming the stranger, by push and perseverance, and by confidence in their own abilities. The same can be done right here in Manning if the people will only say that it an be dne. COURT. Court convened Monday morning, Judge J. F. Iziar, presiding. The usual preliminaries were gone through with. ..nd the grand jury seatcd. His Honor then in substance said: "Gentlemen of the grand jury: I shall not detain you by a charge as tc your general duties because I pre sume that at the former term yoc were so instructed. At this time ] have no special matters. I desire the co-operation of your body in ordei that the work of the court may b( carried on with despatch. The wor of the court must not be impeded and I shall require the prompt attendance of the jurors. Jurors are sometimei unmindful of the fact that they are i part of the court, and very oftsn causi delays by not attending promptly. A great deal of time is lost in this way and the taxpayers have the expense. of the court to pay. I desire that a, little time as possible be lost in or der that as much of the expenses b saved as possible. I shall, therefore direct the clerk of the court to requir( all witnesses and jurors to be in thei seats before court convenes, and thos absent will lose their per diem. "As to the indictments handed yot by the solicitor you will go over ther carefully, and examine the witnesses for the State or as many of them ai you may find necessary to make out i prime facie case, as no one can be pui upon trial in this court unless he ha been presented by your body. Ther the parties so presented have th( right to rebut the testimony offered by the State. "The county jail is an importan place for you to investigate. SeE that it is kept in a clean, healthy, and safe condition. "If you have not the time at thi term to examine into the affairs of thE county officials you may do so at some future time as I am aware that at thi season you are very busy. This mat ter is left entirely with you. "The court will be glad to rendel any assistence that it can." The grand jury reported the follow ing true bills: Sinkler Brunson, assault of a higl and aggravated nature. Henry Capers, disposing of proper ty under lien. Benj. W. Ward, selling liquor with out a license. Chas. F. McFaddin, assault ani battery with intent to kill and carry ing a concealed weapon. The grand jury reported "no bill against John Dowty and Julius Nel son charged with malicious mischief and Chas. B. Shorter charged witl selling whiskey without license. The first case tried was that agains S. A. Brunson for assault of a hig] and aggravated nature. The testimo ny in this case showed that Mr. Bran son reprimanded an employee fo: keeping his mule out after feed hours and upon receiving an offensive repl from the employee he drew his pisto and pointed it at him. The jur, found a verdict of guilty with a rec omnmendation of mercy. He was sen tenced to pay a fine of thirty dollars or six months in the penitentiary The fine was paid. The next case was that of Henry Capers for disposing of property un den lien. The State failed to prov< that the defendant disposed of th< property, and the Judge directed th< jury to find a verdict of not guilty. The grand jury made the following presentment Monday afternoon, afte: which they were dismissed for thi term: THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, CoUNTY OF CIAENDON. IN TEE CouRT or GExNaI. SEsszoxs. To His Honor2, James F. Idlar, Judge Presidina at the June Term of the (kurt: The grand jury beg leave to report than they have acted upon all bills handed then by the Solicitor. A committee from our body have visitet the county jail ahd find its managemeni good and clean, but as we mentioned iz our last report it is totally unfit for the in carceration of prisoners, and again recoin mend that the building be sold, and a de cent brick jail built in its stead. The county treasurer has made his annua report and the same has been published it the Masrx TIMzs, a newspaper publishec in this county, but time forbias our giving it the thorough examination it deserves a this term, we therefore decided to wait un til a more convenient season, in order that the committee selected by our body may have time to make such investigations as iu their judgment seems best. This same committee will also make through investigation into all affairs per taning to the county and will report th< realt of their investigations at some futur< tena~. We have reasons to believe that th4 presentments of this body have had a good effect on violators of the liquor laws, as we have not heard of a single complaint at thi: term. In conclusion we thank your Honor fo: the courteous treatment received at you: hands, and express the hope that we wil have the pleasure of meeting you again. Respectfully submitted, J. H. Xnmzs Foreman. Court opened 10 o'clock Tuesday~ morning, and the case of Thos. W Biown was begun. The testimong in this case was somewhat conflicting the State showing that Mr. C. F. Mc Faddin had been shot on the prem ises of Mr. Brown without legal pro vocation, while the defense set up the plea that McFaddin went to Brown'! place to collect some money, and noi getting it indulged in offensive lan guage towards Brown in the presenc< of his family. Both parties drev pistols and McFaddin was shot in thE thigh. The case was hotly contested by the attorneys on both sides. ThE jury found a verdict of not guilty. The case against Chas. F. McFad din for assault of a high and aggra vated nature and for-carrying a con cealed weapon was next tried. This was a cross indictment growing out of the same difficulty as the former case. It took up nearly the whole ol the afternoon and resulted in a ver dit of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The sentence was a fine of fifty dollars or six month in the State penitentiary. He paid the fine. - The last case heard was that oJ Benjamin W. Ward for selling liquor without a license. This case was re ported t~o and presented by the grand jury at the last term of court. The State got in its direct testimony snd the defense commenced its reply when darkness came on and the court took a recess until this morning. This morning the War-d case was resumed, and occupied all the morn ing. The jury then took it in hand, and at half past six oclock this after noon rendered a verdict of not guilty. It will be noticed that nearly all of the cases were against white men. The negroes seem to have been be having themselves. In the cour of cmmon plas to day A. J. Salinas & Sons obtained a judgment for foreclosure against Louis Loyns for about thirty thous and dollars. Judgments in favor of other creditors of Mr. Loyns were also obtained. Court will probably adjourn to morrow. Black River Baptist Union. The Black River Union, consisting of some twelve or more churches, in cluding Sumter, Summerton, Packs ville, Wedgefield, Graham, Home Branch, Providence, Dudleys, Man ning, Foreston, and others, con vened Friday morning, May 29, at 11.30 in the Manning Baptist church. A goodly number of delegates were present from the churches of the Union, though not all present appointed by the various churches. A fine local attendance was present to greet and grace the meeting. There were present in all, some ten ministers, including the ManDing pastors, Brethren McDowell, Stokes, and Barre being cordially in vited by the president of the Union to take part in the discussions of the day, which was kindly accepted. The opening devotional services were led by Rev. F. D. Wells, after which the body went into permanent election of officers, resulting in the election of Rev. T. E. Jasper, pastor of the Manning Baptist Church, as moderator, and Rev. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, secretary. The program was taken up with out any modification. The first discussion was by Rev. C. C. Brown, on "The Conditions of a Permanent Pastorate." To say the least, the subject was handled forci bly, interestingly, and amusingly. He insisted on the idea that churches should not require so much visiting by their pastor; that unless the pas tor's visit was especially needed, the social visit was a mere waste of time from the pastor's study and prepara tion for his pulpit; that while provid ing food for his family the great thing not to neglect is to see that he has tools to work with in his study, that his mind may be fed by the thoughts of the best thinkers the world of let ters affords. The speech was endorsed and commend6d by Brethren Stokes, McDowell, and Barre. The moderat or closed the discussion by saying that Matthew Henry and Alexander Meyers's commentaries are indispen sable to every pastor's study, and the way to feed their pastor's mind is to see that he has those books, etc. Preaching at 8.30 P. x., by Rev. . F. Ayres, on "Good Work"-a fine sermon, and a good house. Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, the president opened the services, leading the devotional exercises. The next subject was "How to Develop a Church." The subject was opened by Rev. B . Ayres. He developed his subject in an able and practical extempore address. Short speeches were made by others which added to the interest. The next discussion was opened by Capt. D. J. Bradham, on "How Can the Deacons Help Their Pastor ?" He showed that they could help by their constant attendance at church, praying for him, both in secret and with each other, by having mutual confidence, fellowship, and sympathy with each other, also by paying him promptly, and stimulating and urging all the church to do the same. Bro. Brown and Dr. White, Deacon B. D. Hodge, and others also made interest~ ing talks. The next subject was, "Should pro fessors of religion be retained in the churches who use intoxicating bever ages either moderately or to excess ?" Dr. White made some remarks on the evil of such a state of things, and closed owing to the late hour of the day, saying that no living man was Icompetent to do this subject justice, so wide-spread and fearful is this sin in all the churches, etc. Saturday night there was preaching by Rev. D. C. Rodgers, of North Car olina, a young visiting minister. De spite the rain he waded through a pelting, howling storm, stood up, and earnestly and wisely presented the message of truth, until he out-talked the elements and closed with the ben ediction. Sunday morning Rev. B. D. Wells was sent to preach in the Presbyteri an church, and Rev. D. C. Rodgers to the Methodist church. Rev. E. B. Ayres preached at 11 A. i., at the Bap tist church, and Rev. M. W. Gordon, of St. Stephens, at 8.30. The Union meeting was harmoni one and profitable. Rev. T.KE Jasper and Rev. E. D. Wells tried their best to get up a good program aind had the meeting well advertised. The next Union will be held with the Graham church, August 28-30. MEMBER. Mr. C. C. Campbell. of Campbell's Cotton Compress Co., city of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: Everybody finds relief shortly af ter using Bradyerotine for headache. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many 1years doctors pronounced it a local discase, and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with locail treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, miar.ufac tured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar. ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials. Address, F. J.
