yesterday with a gang of hands, and is put
ting the streets and ditches in a first-class
condition. Owing to the recent wet weath
er, it was impossible to make much head
way in cutting grass and weeds, and the
consequence was that the sidewalks became
very annoying to pedestrians. With the
progress the hands are making, and a little
sunshine, the grass and weeds will be out
of sight in a short while.

nance should be passed requiring owners
of open lots to at once fill up any open
wells that may be on their lots, and if no
attention is paid to the ordinance, the coun
cil should teach these parties that their or
ilinances must be respected, by imposing a
.heavy fine.

Stole a Bag of Money.
Last Friday it was discovered thata
-sneak-thief had been at work in the com
2nis-aary store of the Harvia Brothers, and2
had stolen therefrom a bag or money con
tinning $106.52, in gold mostly.
Mr. C. R. Harvin had but a short time
before drawn the money from the bank, and
after placing the money in a drawer his at
tention was called to the mill. Some time
later he went to the drawer for the money,
and it was gone.
The matter was quietly worked, and
Monday they discovered that a colored boy
by the name of Henry Kelley was the thief.
lie had slipped into the store during Mr.
Harvin's absence, took the mon ey, and hid
it in the bay near the mill. The boy ac.
knowledged having taken the money, and
tol.i where it could be found. Policeman
Bloyd and the father of the boy immiediately
went to the spot indicated by the boy, and
found all the money except fifty-two cents,
which had been spent. It is said the boy
spent the 52 cents for soda w-ater, and when
that gave out he toosr a S~> gold piece and
gave it to another boy to get changed ?01
him. This boy told his father about it,
and the investigation that followed resulted
ins the recovery of the money.
The boy's conscience may niot have been
Lashed, but he was lashed, all the, same.

Town Afl'airs.
At a meeting of the town council la!
Monday night, it was decided not to levy
tax, on real estate and personal properti
but to levy a commutation tax of two do
lars, to be paid on or before October 15th.
They also authorized the policemen t
visit the yards of the citizens, and if the
find the premises in an unclean conditior
to report sane to council, in order tht
council may have the parties summoned bt
fore them to show cause why they shoul
not be fined for violating the sanitary law.
The policemen were also instructed t
collect street stand licenses, and turn ove
to the treasurer the amounts so collectel
and where a party fails or refuses to pay th
license fee, the police must close up the e
tablishment at once. It was decided to en
ploy a force of hands to work the strcets
and Warden Young to superintend th
work.
Baptist Religious Meeting.
Rev. T. E. Jasper, pastor Manning Bap

He will, also, preach at Dudleys church a

The protracted meeting at Dudleys churci

in that community. There were thirty-si:
added to the church, and yet there are fou
more awaiting baptism. More will stil

A case of slow Poison.
A sensation was caused near Summerto
last Thursday by the death of a colored we
man named Lavinia Connors. The suspi
cions of the colored people on the planta
tion of Mr. L. Rt. Tindal were aronscd bi
assertions often made by the dcceased th::
her husband, Charlie Connors, abont tei
months ago gave her a dose of concentrate<
lye for medicine, trying to put her out c
the way.
The lye whlen given caused a burnin;
sensation, and when she asked her hus
band for water lie refused to give it to her
Since that time she has been suffering frou
its effects, and found great difficulty in eat
ing. As time wore on she experience<
greater difficulty to swallow, and finall;
lost the use of her throat.
Her husband left her immediately afte
giving her the poison, and about six week
ago Lavinia became the mother of a child.
Coroner Rowe was called to hold an in
quest over the body, and on Friday a po~
mortem examination was held by Di
Briggs, who made examination, and gay
the following testimony to the jury:
''I have examined the dead body of La
vinia Connors. I find the gullet, or esopha
gus, swollen and congested, with comuplet
cicatrization of the uvula and trach:e. Th,
autopsy, in my mind, bears out the supposi
tion that death has resulted from the ad
ministration of some corrosive substance
unknown to me. The parts are almost en
tirely closed, so much so that it has beei
impossible for the deceased to swallos
enough nutriment to sustain life.
"Candor compels me to say that the pos
mortem condition agrees with her often re
peated statements as to causation of he
condition."
Other witnesses were examined, and the;
testified to the fact that the deceased ha<
stated several times that her husband hat
iven her poison before he quit her.
SThe following verdict was rendered b;
the jury, of which Mr. Louis T. Fischer wa
foreman:
"We, the jurors in the case of Lavinia Con
nors, find according to the statements mad<
to us, that the deceased came to her deatl
by medicine administered by her husband
Chaley Connors."
In accordance with the above verdict, th
coroner has issued a warrant for the arres
of Charley Connors, who is said to be 0ou
of the county.

Are the Postmasters to Blame ?

Every county in the State is making some

The District Sunday-school convention
t
of the A. 1. E. Church for this county, held T
ra very interesting session at Foreston last
week. Quite a number of persons were there
from Manning. Rev. W. D. Chappelle is
Presiding Elder.
Revs. Thos. Brown and M. M. Martin
are in town; the latter to attend the Odd
Fellows meeting.
Miss Florence A. Clyde, a graduate of
Avery Institute, of June last, is visiting
friends in town.
Miss Carrie Plumean, of Charleston, is
visiting Rev. Whitehead and family.
Rev. J. C. Simmons and A. J. Jefferson,
gave a panoraiaic exhibition at Trinity A.

Mr. Walter L. Lawrence, also a graduate
of Avery Institute, is carrying on the barber

A member of the Manning baseball club
mildly protests against being referred to as

A number of our colored citizens some
tine ago invested in the National Capital
Building and Loan Association, of Chicago,
which has recently come to grief. Some
had as many as eight shares, and others
two and four. The moral of this is that it
is best to invest in those business enter
prises near home, and of which you know
something, and not be misguided by such
t ignes fatui. In fact, our great fault is that
we are too easily influenced to believe in
every and all kinds of mush-room repre- s
sentations, and do not, as intelligent people, i1
investigate before enlisting. Probably it n
is owing to the fact that our minds have not
had the great benefit of that training which il
come through an ancestry of intelligent c
minds. Credality is a prevalent evil; out
side glitter and paraphernalia influence our
poor people to an alarming extent. Men
of the other race almost by intuition reach
3 an unerring corclusion as to the character r
- of a thing.
Time and educating influences, and con
- tact will develop a hardier mental race, and
i that native equality of men first instituted f
- will be made more apparent.
Letter From Sheriff Bradhiam.
GLExNx Sir~raos, S. C., August 17th, 1891.
EDrroi DVAIXi Tinas:-We left Man- i
ning ou the morning of the 12th inst, and e
arrived at this place on the sane day about
tive o'clock. There was a great crowd on
the ste'ton we travee- with, seven coaches,
all clevery lilled, not erowded, however.
The Atlantic Cat Line, with its usual
- wisdom and foresight, sent that geniai and
- clever gentleman, Capt. W. G. Webb. t,'.
- look after the safety anl coifort of their
friends, so we all were care.d or, and eachl
t in due season was put down at his or her
destination. We left the train at Rich Hill, 1
just six miles from this place, and found
carriages waiting to take us to the Springs 1
for just one dollar apiece. The carriage I
Iwhich fell to our lot was driven by a Mr. f
-Griflin. a very clever gentlemnan he was, and e.
with "Dexter and Alex," we made the trip i
in a short tume. The section of country we
traveled over is hilly and broken, most of e
t he farms we passed are cultivated by ten
ants. The crops are very promising, but
about three weeks later than ours. I don't
think from what I see that a full crop can
be made.t
We meet people here from all sections, E
- representing almost all of the Southern ~
tStates, and they talk freely. I find very
-few opposed to free silver, none opposed t~or
Sincrease of the circulation of currency, and1
none opposed to reduction of the tariff ; all
- pretty wvell opposed to sub-treasury, and C
-yet they say wve must have relief. In fact,
Sthere's not as much difference of opinion as
Ssome people think. One man offers the
- following in lieu of the sub-treasury: "Let
the general government loan the States
Swhat money they need, .ay South Carolina's
- loan is $5,000,000, and let the State, through C
the State bank, loan this incney to the peo
pie at two per cent. per annunm. Abolish
the national banks, and secure to the States
their severeignty and independence, andt
then each State would furnish that relief ~
needed to her people."
From what I hear our honest and much
beloved ex-president will not be in the race
in "J2. Vilas, of Wisconsin, Palmer, of Il- r
linois, Gray, of Indiana, and Campbell, of
Ohio, 'last, 1.d wA, least," are the comiing r
men. I fiad also that Tillman is still in~ 9
the hearts of the peCople, and will have ant
easy job in '92 to continue his work of re
form. I understand the reports which will
be submitted by his eabinet will make a
fine showving, and that another year it will
be simply grand. So niay it be. Col.
Keitt, of Newberry, is here talking and
Stalking-one can hardly tell what he wants.
tI think he will be all right at the proper
ttime, and that Newberry, with her sister
counties, will give the grand old Democrat
ic party the grandest victory she has ever
had in South Carolina.
- On Sunday I went to church and heard a
fine sermon from a MIr. James, a Presbyte
rian mioister. A large crowd attend~ed, but
- I doubt very much if the minister had per
t sonal acquaintance wiith fifty persons pres
ent.
I am iniproving some, but not as fast
- as I hoped for. I had a chill the second
day I got here, but hope, with the help of
SGlenn Springs water and rest, to get en-J
tirely clear of those miserable things which
have been followving me for the last month
,or two. We will return on Friday next, in
.order that we umy attend the meeting of
the dear old Sprott Guards on the 22d.

Ayer's Hair Vigor
Renders the hair soft, pliant, and glossy,
promotes a fresh growth, and cures eruptive
diseases of the scalp. Mary A. Jackson,
Salem, Mass., writes: "I have used Ayer's
Hair Vigor for a number of years, and it has
always given me satisfaction. It is an ex
cellent dressing, prevents the hair from
turning gray, insures its vigorous growth,
and keeps the scalp white and clean."
"Several months ago my hair commenced
falling out, and in a few weeks I was almost
bald. I bought a bottle ofAyer's Hair Vigor,
and, after using only part of it, my head was
covered with a heavy growth of hair"
