THE MANNING TIMES. WEDNESDAY, SEP. 30, 1891. News from Silver. SILVER, S. C., Sep. 29.-One of the most nteresting and pleasant occasions I ever njoyed was the grand military review of e cavalry which took place at Panola last riday, the 26th. I need not tell you that Panola, as usual, had a grand day; the morning was lovely, and every thing went merry as a marriage bell. To compliment each command on their efficieracy and splendid appearance, both as to horses and men, would require much moce space than you perhaps have to spare. However, it is the ladies that al ways add charms to every occasion, and lends enchantment to the view. it is a fact not to be dispute.d that when the llampton Light Dragoons and Connor Mounted Rifle men touch elbows they make their inspec tions too grand for description. From the least to the greatest they vie with each other in making these occasions successini General Farley was to inspect the troops, and all eyes eagerly sought to look upon him, the people patiently awaiting his arri val, that they might touch the warm hand of him who, together with Tillman, had led them to victory. Gen. Farley is a soldier in every respect. His coining among us in his official capacity was received with that attention and courtesy that our people should have bestowed upon so efficient an officer. I need not say the General was well pleased. To the military he spoke in the mwt complimentary terms. To the la dies (for the General is a bachelor) his re marks were of the most touching kind, and won for him the most pleasant smiles. He said to the splendidly equipped command ers: -The ladies have made you j ust what you are, and nobody but Almighty God could have made woman as she is, so love ly and so beautiful." The music was grand, the dance charmed very bystander. All classes ot society were epresented; all shades of the community ere at the altar; while this was the (ase otbing happened to mar the peace of a sin e individual, or even forget to chime in th the young in merry-mading. Now and n an old croaker could be heard to raise voice as to the dance, and in his old age some pressing moment which he spent ia younger years, when the gold pportuniy yivi forever tied, with his t girL he substantial dinner, furnished by two ant young dragoons, is worth y of men . With but one single exception (it was quite enough) it sustained Panola's rep on. The ice cream was delicious; the onade cool and refreshing. all adminis d by Panola's fair maidenu. pt. Brailstord, I imagine, was the hap t trooper on the occasion. He was the pient of a beautiful bouquet of flowers one of Panolh's young ladies, present him-as being the handsomest officer e field. as not content to rest the remainder e week, hence Saturday morning, with e Mahoney, we set sail to attend the ting of the White Oak Alliance. I was th: big pot would be put into the little I was not surprised in the least-I was e of my own free will, a companion of judge. It was not long before I was as py as a dead pig in the sunshine. These ance boys have a peculiar way of man ng things; They work by craft, and the ole world would give much to find out eir secrets. it afforded me great pleasure to meet the ethren of this Alliance. It was their time installation. Capt. D. J. Bradham, our unty lecturer, was on hand cut ar.d dried. think, made one of the best speeches his life; in fac;, I think the captain ht to have two mouths, for one cannot press his fullness of Alliance measures. e captain is thoroughly conversant with our views, as well one of our most zeal s advocates of the Alliance. Brother J. E. vis our county president, was, too, in his prime. He has a very solemn way of e3 cusing himself when called on for a speecl but he gets there all the same. Both mad excellent speeches, and both made goo, points, which we are likely to remembei This Alliance is on solid ground; we littl dreamed of such an interest ianifested b; the White Oak brethren. Capt. Bradham installed the officers: J. W. Clark. president. Robert Plowden, vice-president. Joseph Mitchum, secretary. T. C. Owens, Treasurer. John Childers, Chaplain. P. W. Hodge. Lecturer. John Childers, Jr., Steward. Jeff Brooks, Door-keeper. J. E. Graham, Asst. Door-keeper. Delegates to county convention elected t< meet on the 2d October, were then appoint ed as follows: J. W. Clark, Robert Plowden, and P. B Hodge. After the meeting we repaired to thE house of Brother T. C. Oweus, where hi, good wife had one of the most bountifu and sumptuous dinners provided. Ve weri entertatined in a most lordly style. and wil not soon forget this pleasant day. TOM. Do You Wear Dresses I Ladies, you are especially invited to call and examine N. A.

C Dinkins & Co Can a Man Choose His Own Sunday I ME.VPHIS, TEN., September 23.-In the E celebrated case of . M. King, the Seventh i Day Adventist, convicted in Obion county of Sabbath breaking, an appeal was takea e to the Supreme Court of the United States this morning. It will be remembered that King sued out a writ of habeas o-rpus before the United States court, and on hearing of the cause was represented by the Hon. Don M. ' Dickiason. Judge Hammond held that King was not, as alleged, convicted and held without due process of law, and hence the F-'deral Court could not entertain the appeal. This morning King, his counsel, anid bondsmen appeared before Judge Ham mond, and filed an application for appeal and also for suspension of sentence till the appeal should be heard. The bond was fixed at $1.000 and suspension of sentence was also granted. Big lot of fine wool and felt hats at B. A. Johnson's. Granulated Sugar, 4 pounds for 25 cents, at Kalibky's.
