THE MANNING TIMES. s< -- I S. A. NETTLES, Editor. is _b Time Out-This Week. Some of our subscribers will find a little v slip in their paper this week. It is wordd as carefully, and as politely as we know I how, in order not to offend.

If v, our subscribers will watch their dates, and si send us their rene.vals thre or four weeks s before the time runs out, it would save us trouble and be greatly appreciated. t) b The Baptist State Convention met in u Spartanburg last week. The prohibition bill has passed the house by a majoritv of 16. It will probably be- 1 come a law. The bill to form a new county out of parts of Oraugeburg and Lexington coun- b ties, to be known as Calhoun county, was killed in the Senate last Friday. Rev. John W. Murray, of the S. C. Con- I farence, died very suddenly of apoplexy in v Darlington, last Thursday night, while c sitting in the Methodist church listening to the conference proceedings. He lived only 0 an hour after he was stricken. Senater DesChamps last Thursday offered J a bill to allow C. R. F. Baker. of this cout. ty, to obtain a divorce from his wife, whom 8 'Baker, in his petition to the General As- t] sembly, charges with infidelity. The bill b was killed. It seems hard in just such d cases as the above to be denied the right or fi ivilege of divorce, but we hope South Carolina will never for any cause grant au divorce. There was a close contest in the General Y Assembly last Thursday between Attorney General y. J. Pope and Judge W. H. Wal- P lace, candidates for the position of Associ 'ate Justice of the Supreme Court, made va cant by the promotion of Justice McIver to the Chief Justiceship. Pope won the prize e by a majority of six votes. Senator Des Champs voted for Pope, and Representa tives Richardson and Woods for Wallace. The correspondent of The News and Cou rier sAys that three colored votes were o- n ing to Wallace, but were deterred by r. Woods, "who has made himself rather con aiccuous this session, and who was the only t1 man who made a speech during the nomi- b nations. He seconded the nomination of b Judge Wallace." A bill to punish 1 cock, fighting st was passed last Thursday, and while la it was being considered an amendment - k to include horse racing was fruitlessly u attempted. This amendment brought Dr. C1 Woods, Clarendon's "conspicuous" member, f to his feet, and he began climbing "that Upas tree," so that his colleagues might see Z im and the higher he climbed the more tb they saw of him. According to the report i3 he "entered a violent protest against the th infringement of the personal privileges of q South Carolina gentlemen farmers,' but the s bill went through while he was still talking against it." Again the next day during the cl discussion .of the prohibition bill, Dr. bi Woods,, according to the News and Courier's gi earrespondent's report, made himself con- of spicuous: "A broad and very audible smile came over the House when Dr. Woods, at of Manning, the funny member of the vi ouse, after trying all night, got the eye of the-speaker and floor and was asked to e'ame out in the aisle to deliver his speech. As a member of the military committee,' he .' ,aid, 'he could vote, if the bill was passed, at Sfor alarge fund to support the militia of t --thes tate to put down riots.' [Laughter.] Dr. Woods's remarks were not very con n ed, combined with which the members C] edto be affected with an epidemic cf hi laryngial-affection, which prevented his re- t marks 'being heard, despite his prominent 4, ~and central position in the aisle." v Werget to see such a paper as the News OI _and Courier render itself so ridiculous be- sc fore an inielligent public. Unless the leg k-- slatore, and as to that matter, all things a ~ animrate and inanimate, bows submissively s to its infallible dictates, then the offending tl S-ptyis characterized as fools, iwgrates, and -ohrsuch opprobrious terms. In the el-ac-1 tion for associate juetiec lhet Thursday, the s "Wallace party had, as they thought. secured the vote of six negro legislators but the speeeh of Dr. Woods in favor of~ Wallace csd.three of these negroes to change their vote to Pope. Now listen to the co rpodent of the News and Courie r:"The i alcemen point to the rather significant fct that after all the administration owes. its narrow victory to the negro vote in the legisigture." And then the headlines to the artiele about the election: "'T'is Pope, da~-i' pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis Pope." The ~ hole effort of the Newvs and Courier seems Sto be to make it appear as if Pope was some insignificant carpetbagger, and that the men who voted for him had disgraced themselves. Pope certainly made a most -excellent attorney-general, and if he maues oda chief justice as he did an attorney r ,~a then will the State be indeed hap-g py in selection. In this connection let h us again say, what we have often before sd .that the vile vituperations heaped It uponi the present administration, both be- l0 'fore and since the last election, has a ten- ea derey not only to greatly strengthen the w 'present admin'stration, but also to widen bl the breach between the people of the State. it ' -Blessed are the peacemakers" cannot be Si Sspoken of the News and Courier. ci None are Guilty. a It-is amusing to note the effect on some tl tparties who seem to be very touchy on the - eficiencies referred to in the Governor's rcent message to the legislature. Several e 'have already come out in newspaper cards 0 Ste plead not guilty to the charges made in _ Sthe message, but at the same time they al ways acknowledge that what he said was true. Bateman, the ex-clerk of the penitentiary, denied being a defaulter, bat acknowledged kaisnot having had the necessary vouchers at the time of settlement to show what had ' become of about fifteen hundred dollars of -of which he was short. He says that the J voiuchers had been misplaced and the amount short was made good. Bateman B further claims that he overpaid nine hun drcied and thirty dollars also referred to in the executive message, to a business firm in Columbia for goods for the institution, and that the most he could be et charged with is carelessness. The News w aind Courier has'for a headline to Mr. h Bteman's card "Why not sue for damages ?" h, ~We hardly think Mr. Bateman after making H the confessions he has would get much con- o solation from a suit in the courts. He says r' thaat he was short but the money was made gi god'! He says that he overpaid a firm ihiat furnished goods for the institution'! It he had charge of the funds of the institu- t tion and at the time of settlement fail to show proper vouchers for the money dis bursed by him, if he is not a defaulter ' what ishe? ? The treasurer of Union county also squeals'in a newspaper card. The word a' ~defaulter sounds harshly on refined ears, Sbut if it is true why kick ? It matters not P whether the defalcation came about through P a mistake, through an overpayment, or a a - theft, the people entrust their money with B a~ n offcer and if he fails to make a proper t showing when the time comes there is si something wrong. The Union treasurer B claims his was a mistake, and so it may be, h but if he was short several hundred dollars through mistakes the governor did right in & calling the attention of the legislature to it. 6 "he people are applauding the Govern Sors efforts to hew to the line without regard r'.".techips may fall. '~The newspapers thut are not favorable towards the present administration are con stantly publishing cards and other articles, tenevrto bring the present adminis-h tainito disrepute, but they will find that the commenting and misleading headlines to these articles will hare as little weight as such things deserve, and the peeple willj not be fooled by them. The lessons learn ed in the campaign of education last year taught the people that vituperation, abuse, di deception is the weapon of the sore ead, and the wail of the defeated. e Jacob Prodovsky is selling plaid home puns at 5 cents per yard.

Catarrh a complaint so common that comparative few people are entirely free from it, so sidious that it gains a firm hold ahuost fore its victims are aware of its presence, dangerous as to seriously threaten the neral health, and liable to develop io 'onchitis or Consumption. is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a cal trouble. It is unquestionably a dis se of the blood, and therefore the right y to cure Catarrh is to remove from the ood the impurities which cause and feed .This is to be done by taking Ho,>d's rsaparilla, the great blood purifier, which fectually expels all traces of poison and rms of disease.
