THE MAZ=IG TflLES1 S. A. NETTLES, Editor. A fire in Chattanooga, Tenn., last -Saturday, destroyed $500,000 worth of property. The South Carolina and London Bank was chartertcdsby the last legis lature with a capital of five rnio dollars. It is thought the bank will go into business next year. If it floes locate in South Carolina, with such a capital, it will certainly be a great benefit to the State. A Jacob's Ladder at the Baptist Church. The Manning Baptist Snnday-school bad quite an enjoyable entertainment for their school on Christmas eve. Instead of the usuaL Christmas tree two ladders, reaching iearly to the ceiling, and representing that --beautiful picture seen by Jacob, of the an Igels ascending and deseending thereon, tt"- were utilized for holding the presents. They, together with the whole church, were beautifully decorated with festoons of ever greens, and brilliantly lighted with wax candles. Bending from the top of the lad ders, with outstretched arms and finger pointing to the east, was a very large and Iovely doll, representing an angel, and on each side -were four others ascending and Sdescending. desndery available space around and be uween the ladders was filled with presents, f both beautiful and rare, and all together .x g one of the most striking pictures ae have ever seen. The music, led by Mrs. K .-D M.Bradham, the organist, was one of the best features of the evening, and was folowed by the rendition in a very impres siae manner of "Prayer and Potatoes," a ser o-comic selection by Mrs. - T. E. Jas per. Jacob, dressed in Oriental style, and holding a staf, was lying at the foot of the E:ladder, and was then awakened from his sleep. Rev. T. E. Jasper, the pastor. then * made a short application of the scene to Cbrist as our ladder to heaven, after which Mr and Mrs. Santa Clans were introduced, and proceeded through the audience dis tributing gifts from their well-stored bags. The ladies deserve great credit for their I, ntiring zeal in accomplishing so much in so short a time. Particular mention should be made of Mrs. Jasper, Mrs. Lizzie ' and Mrs. Clarke, who exhibited grext taste and perseverance in the man agement of the affair, which was quite a snocess, and pronounced by many to have been the best thing of the kind ever seen Xn Manning. The pastor and wife were approprmtely' remembered, both by this 'on and the Blackville church he served for several years. The de 7 iga and decoration of the ladder was got pn up by Mr. Jasper. Stabbing Affray ini anning. very unfortunate afftir took place in nning last Friday night, in which Mr. SJohn P. Thames was severely stabbed by Mr.amartine Newman. Mr. Thames was the head of a party of boys making Obristmas merry by parading the streets fad iring off Roman candles and crackers. When- the party reached the corner of and Boyce streets Mr. Newman en-1 deavored to take a drum away from one of the boys. Mr. Thames remonstrated with. - .i and bade him let the drum alone. ~o esay that Newman cursed and struck whereupon Thames returned the , and Newman stabbed him. Others 'sy that Thames struck Newman a blow in the-face first, and that Newvman imnmedi intely stabbed him. WVe do not know which ustatement is correct. After Mr.' .hmes was +,tabbed he walked into Mr. Lowry's store, and his wound was 1 s eamined by a surgeon, who found that the .kiehad penetrated the upper part of the ~vIflung, causing a dangerous wona. Mr. ~Taes was carried home and Mr. New nn asarrested and -put in the guard ~ oswhere he remained until the next H ~a e was then turned over to the sher it &and lodged in jail. S The knife used was a common pocket; ~ knife, with a blade nearly three inches - long, and from the signs of blood on thie Sblade -it seems as if the knife was driven Sinto the hilt. The whole afa~ir is most unfortunate, and is only another chapter in the great volee of direful deeds due to the whiskey dend. ,waman sass ider the influence of ichiskey. ~"~be..rum apologists- say: Leave whiskey akmoe and it won'thurt you. John Thames r.ltit lone; he never touched a drop, and ~ ehe was hurt. The two young men are1 -"aotthe same age-about twenty-two-and have been play-mates, school-mates, and ~ riendes, and had it not been for whiskey ~one' udnot to-day be in his bed, with a] Sin a vital organ, and the other iu c~pso ell chargted with a felonious crime. A Woman Eilled Near Alcolu. Last Friday night, near Alcolu, Bossie Bailey, colored, shot his sister-in-law, ~'Ise Burgess, and she died from the ef eeSof the wound inflicted on Sunday-. It kppeag that Bailey's wife and her sister had -some words on their return home from a .: rolic in the neighborhood, an~d a fight en sued between them. Bailey arriving on I ~ hascene shortly after, and finding his wife badly beaten, pulled his pistol and fired at Iie, the ball striking her in the left breast, and ranging upwards. Trial Justice 9%mmons was notified, and he summoned A ajary of inquest. They proceeded to the V Splace where the bcody was found, and after -examining a number of witnesses, rendered the following verdict: ",.That the said Lizzie Burgess came to her] ..&- lith by a'gun shot wound inflicted by a pisto, at Alcolu, on the 25th night of De-j] cember, A. D. 1891, from the effects of' ~wich she died on the 27th morning of December, A. D. 189], in the hands of one'] Bosse Bailey. And the jurors aforesaid do] say that the aforesaid Lizzie Burgess, in ,,.manner and form aforesaid, was killed. Bossefailey then andthere feloniously did kill, against the peace and dignity of the said State aforesaid." The jury of inquest consisted entirely 01 eolored uesos. The ngh before the verdict Bosse Bai ley ran away, telling his wife that she would have to shift for herself. As soon as -possible after the verdict a warrant was place with the sheriff, who put a deputy on -trail at once, but as yet he has not succeed ed in capturing the accused. Christmas Pleasures About Wilson's. - n. Enrron:-It has been my happy lot once again to be invited into pastures both fertile and green. I was one of a happyi -party to attend a pound party at the resi-1 -dence of Capt. Mills, Christmas Eve night. -It was a very pleasant occasion, and could I I ot be otherwise, as our hosts, the Capt. -and his good lady, left nothing unturned to make each one have a good time. Supper was served about twvelve o'clock, with a bountiful supply of sweet-meats, well inter- I *spersed with oranges, apples, nuts, and a lot of small talk in which Cupid played a prominent part. tigansi~ fallible, that when pleasures begin they do not come single, and in this inst-mee it I proves true, for on Chr-istmnas night we had a repetition of the same at the residence of Mrs. Irene Plowden. The guests were cor- i *dially received by their hostess and her' amiable daughter, Miss Mamie. There was nothing lacking to make the occasion a pleasant one, and each one seemed to aal themselves of the opportunity; wit and were now plied with a vengeance by each of the beaux, each one trying to out strip his fellow, and well they might, for such a display of refinement and beauty 'will be diflcult to duplicate. Mr. Editor, I believe 1 am now a wiser, if not a better man, from last Christina"'s ex perience. I saw Cupid in all of his forms. and he played havoc with hearts in thos~e two nights, or they were badly wonndedd before, for one could see vei-y plainly that some of them were taking it as harud as -thunder could bump a stump, and ifthe -.3range blossoms do not play their part this. winter, they will have to bloom the ealier net, or then I am no prophet.
