THE MANNING TIMEi Ma nalailag, 2. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. HUMAN LIFE TOO CHEAP. According to the sentence of the law two white persons, a man and a woman, were to have been hanged in Chesterfield last Friday, and judging from the history of the crime as pub lished, the degraded and immoral condition of the parties concerned, and the opinion of the judge and so licitor as expressed to the governor, we think they both deserved hanging. The woman was charged with having poisoned her husband, and the man with aiding her in it, the object being to get the woman's husband out of the way, so that these two degraded beings could continue unmolested their lustful practices. The details of the crime are disgusting and re volting in immorality and brutal ity. The jury found them guilty, and the judge and solicitor declined to recommend them to mercy. A peti tion, however, was gotten up by some citizens, and numerously signed, ask ing for pardon. The governor was moved to tenderness, and wanted to show mercy, but hesitated. He final ly bethought him to put them to a final and fearful test, and in case they stood out to the last, to respite them. The condemned criminals were car ried to the scaffold, had their arms bound, the rope placed around their necks, and all ready for the fatal drop, when, they still stoutly protest ing their innocence and claiming a speedy welcome into the heavenly home, were granted a reprieve by the governor, his private secretary haviag been present all the time with the re prieve in his pocket. Had they con fessed to the murder, of course no re prieve would have been made public, and the hanging would have taken place, but they, having stood the test, and no confession having been minde, ,were reprieved, and have since had their sentences commuted to impris onment for life. Thirteen years ago, in Hampton's administration, a similar test is said to have been made with an Abbeville regro. Such things to a sensitive mind, in a free American State, make a revolt ing impression. It savors too much of the practices of the olden times when might made right. Human life is too sacred a thing to be trifled with. It is too far below the dignity of a governor. It encourages deceit and lying, for hereafter the hope will always be held out to the condemned criminal that if he will only protest his innocence to the last he will not be hanged. We doubt the advisabil ity of capital punishment, but either let the lawv be repealed or else its judgments carried out. Our govern ors have become a law unto them selves, and if by accident a jury does render-a verdict of guilty, the chances -are in their favor that they will be pardoned, unless perchance it be some poor wretch who can get no friends to help him. It seems to us that when in due process of law, after the accused has had every opportunity to make his 7defense, and the jury has found a ver dict of guilty, that, except in cases of undoubted proof that the prisoner is -not guilty of the crime charged, the -governor should not interfere. The pardoning power vested in the gov * ornor was never intended simply to .snow mercy, but to assist in maintain ing justice, and unless strong and un deni-able evidence is brought out, that was not or could not be brought out on the trial, then the governor should iever interiere, and in all cases where interference is made, it should be done by th'e advice of the jury, so licitor and judge who heard the case, and they should be pu ntheir oaths before the pardoning is done. Either our larps most be respected and the verdicts of the juries sustain-. ed, or else let us abandon the law and evidence -in the case, and be governed altogether by the wealth and influence of the accused. Then we shall have justice and cruelty for the poor, mer cy and licentiousness for the rich. County Treasurer Lesesne, of *Charleston, died suddenly last Friday. Mrs. Sarah C. Polk, widow of Ex President Polk, died last Friday at her home in Nashville, Tenn. Governor Tillman distinguished himself last Friday at the Red Springs meeting by delivering one of the best sneeches of his life. His utterances were full of wholesome instruction, wit, beautiful sentiments, and demol ishing blows against the third party craze. An Act Unworthy a Goyernor. [Charleston World.] Governor Tillman's course in the Jacobs Johnson ease at Chestertield is a disgrace to civilization, an insult to the machinery of law in South Carolina, and the most horri ble, cold-blooded specimen of the quintes sence of refined cruelty ever displayed by any governor in this country. His act was more horrible, it seems to us, than the tortures of the inquisition. for then it was only the fear of great pain which was relied upon to extort a confession from the hapless victim, but in this case, we behold the disgraefu~l spectacle of the governor of one of the thirteen original States attempt ing, in the latter part of the Nineteenth cen tury, to wring confessions from two wretch es, by leading them to the very doorway of eternity. The governor has the right to reprieve a prisoner, to commute his sentence, or to pardon him outright, but he has no moral right to degrade the alnmost divine privilege of sparirng life, by attempting sensational, dime-novel climaxes, at the moment when two weak and wretched mortals arc stand ing upon the scaffold, with pulseless hearts, and bursting brains, awaiting the "giving away" sensation that is to launch them into the presence of the Dread Judge of all man kind. To say that the proceeding was a most unusual ar'd extraordinary one would be to conch in commonplace terms, an outrage, of the enormity of which the English lan guage is incapable of conveying any ade quate idea. The example set, too, by3 this Napoleon of pardons, will encourag'e other criials sentenced to death, to go into eternity with lies upon their lips, in the hope that a par don may reward their mend'acity It is the most unique and coldly ambdoli cal conception of which w e hiav e ee heard, as having been born in the brain of the chief executive of a State which heas grener ally been considered to be civilized. 'The cat plays with the mouse before kill model after which Governor Tilnman has fashioned his idea of the use of the repriev ing power. If this wereC the Fifteenth century, inst-ad of the Nm'eternth, and it we were living~ in the East In'ias, instea. of thie Uit! d state a1nd if TIm1111an wk re a real despot, inlstad of noninally not b-ing one, we imight understand" this cowarIly, inhuima:, atztupt to Leta Jcb and Mrs. John -sn into utterin- thir own death sentences; but is it is, 0 ir com preheinsion is powerless to gr'aI the incident in the fullness of its hor rible signiileance. G'overn'or Hampton also Attempted to Torture a Vouression. ( Soes and CouriaO.] The torture to which David Jacobs and M.ary Johnson were subjected on the gal. lows at Chesterfield last Friday, was not the first incident of the kind in the recent his tory of South Carolina, altlioigh it is sin cerv.y to be hoped that it will be the last. In 178 -1h1l 0.,vid. a colored man who had been coivictel of the murder of Mr. and Mls. Franklin. two old white peoide, who had lived for many years in Abueville county, was taken to the dilows. Ilie was acconipanied by a colored minister who sang and p-rayed with and for him. David's hands and ftet were pinioned, the rope was phced around his neck, the knot being pulled around until it pressed against his right ear, and the last farewells were spok en. when just as the trembling wrteh felt that he was about to be swung off into eter nity, the sheriff announced that the gov ernor, in his mercy. had granted him a lit tle longer lease of life. David made no confession, and was finally discharged a free man, his case having gone the rounds of the courts. The David case should not be followed, however, as a precedent, and it is to be hoped that the better sentiment of the State will never again be shocked by such an exhibition as that which took place at Chesterfiel.1 court house last week. Deputy Sheriff Watson, of Sumter, Shot a Negro who Resisted Arrest. SUMTEE, August 17.-Yesterday a negro named ThomasNickens, living on the plan. tation of the Rev. E. T. Hodges, about eight miles above this city, attacked his wife, in ificting a severe wound over one eye and another in the back of thc neck, from which it is said the woman will die. This morning Deputy Sheriff Watson went out to arrest Nickens. When he ap proached him he noticed that he had an axe in his hand. When the deputy sheriff got within speaking distance he told Nickens that he had a warrant for him. The negro began to curse Mr. Watson, defied him, and said he would kill him before lie would be arrested, at the same time advancing on Mr. Watson. Mr. Watson told the negro that if he came toward him with the axe that he would kill him. The negro, however, kept advancing, and struck at the deputy, who dodged the blow, and shot the negro in the head, who fell as if dead. The deputy re mained there about ten minutes, and, still thinking the negro was dead came back to Sumter and reported the matter to -heriff Carson. A jury of inquest was summoned and went out to hold an inquest, but when they got there they found that the negro was not dead but had gotten up and gone nearly back to his house, about three hundred vards. Stimulants were administered and the negro was revived and was able to talk. He was then put on a mattress and brought to Sumter. When seen in jail this after noon he was in a stupor and breathing heavily, his hands and feet were growing cold, and the prospect is that he will die to night. The negro's brother-in-law was with the deputy when the killing took place, but he ran when Niekens made for the deputy with the axe. Ever since Nickens chopped his wife in the head 3esterday he has said he would kill anyone who attempted to ar rest him. Deputy Sheriff Watson reigrets: the affatir very much, but he had to shoot the negro in defence of his own life. Dr. T. J. Williamson, Eustis, Fla., says: The bottle of Bradycrotine you sent me'was iven three ladies who were suffering from headache. They said the effect was instan tanous and very satisfactory. Fret not your life awvay because your hair. is gray, while young, as you con stop all grayness and can beautify the hair with Hall's Hair Renewer and be happy. A Sutggestion From a Forestoni Citizen. Foreston, August 17, 1891. Emrron Mm~~NxO Tnra~st -The crop prospects remain as good as could e asked for, both corn and cotton. Thiere wvas a& gentleman here Saturday who had/ /just returned from a trip West. U - was through Arkansas, Misissippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and he sas he saw nothing to compare with the cotton in this .vicini-y. He remarked it was worth a ride of fifty miles to sec it. I was amused at reading an account of 'our Summerton trlp over the W. & S. RI. h. I will venture to umke a suggestion. A s the Atlantic Coas t Line has built a most elegant depot in all its appointments, and as it was suggested somei months ago, that the old one heie be sent to Chicago, as a curiosity, at the World's rair. I now think that the'most profitable investment that the stockholders of the WV. & S. Ri. R. could uake, would be to send their road there, too, and to run a line around the grounds of the exhtbition, and manage it in the same way as now. I know of nothing that would be there that would be of more inter est to the people of the world than the WV. & S. railroad and the old Foreston depot. Don't you think so ? 0. P. HOW'S THIS!

Cut the plush which is to cover it, a couple of inches larger than the board is and slash it around the edges. Place a layer of cotton batting on the board, before covering it, with an ex tra thickness near the edge so that it will gradually slope towards the open ing for the clock. Lay on the plush, and draw it stuootlly over the board, and tack it on the back. The decora tion for the plaque is made of atural oak leaves. Select as graceful a twig as possible, give the leaves a couple of coats of glue; when dry, gild or bronze all with liquid gilding, and tack it on the plaque. Fasten the clock in securely, and cover the back by tacking muslin over it, the color of the plush. Place screw eves on the back to hang it upI by. The wire or cord for hanging, should not show. ToILT STAN.-An economical and convenient stand for holding a tin basin, pitcher, and soap dish is made of three broom-sticks, each thirty-five inches long; they a-e nailed together, and a piece of stout wire drawn around the top for the basin to rest on. Paint the sticks red or black; fasten three nails in the sticks to hold a small tin plate for soap. A drum stick, or a smooth stick of any kind, is fastened on one side, to hang the towel on; it is to be painted like the stand. The basin and pitcher will cost in the neighborhood of a dollar, which is really all the outlay; the lit tle paint it will take will not amount to five cents. If one were to biy a stand of this kind it would cost about five dollars, and really be no better than this home-made one. RAIsIN CAK:.-1 1-2 cupful sugar, 1 cupful milk, 1-2 cupful butter, 1 cupful raisins, 2 1-2 cupfuls flour, 1 egg, 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder. This cake, when properly made, is de licious. Beat the butter and sugar together until quite light and creamy; add the beaten egg and then the milk. Seed the raisins, chop them coarse ly, and sift over them a little of the flour. Mix the baking powder through the balance of the flour by sifting the the two together at least twice; beat the flour carefully into the mixture, and add the fruit. Then beat the batter at least three minutes, and bake for three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. The flour should be well sifted before being measured for this cake. A chocolate icing made with confectioners' sugar will be found particularly nice.
