Mr. Albert Moise, with his dialect recitations, kept the house in a side-splitting roar of laughter, St and his acting was equal to that of a profes :snal comedian.

SHILoH, April 14.-Editor Manning n Times: 1 am at present located at ft this place, and am enjoying myself en very much with friends and relatives. tb They are alive to their interests so cially, politically and financially. Nothwithstandmgl the busy season they have a debating society that meets once a week for the edification ac of all concerned. They have a pray- fa er meeting once a week. to About 40 of the citizens met this F: afternoon for the pupose of organiz ing a military company. The elee- fo tion of officers takes place Saturday, W when a large attendance is expected. at Immediately after the organization s their services will be tendered to the 3 Chief Executive, B. R. Tillman, the t greatest and wisest of men. at May Gov. Tillman run with pa tience and forbearance the race that is before him, and may that race at never cease until he is President of these United States. The next thought that rushes into a my mind is wvhere will we find a man t for the next Governor? Let us move eautiously, andl not let favoriteism influence us in the least. This section is for Reform iirst. last andl all the time. Remember me to the boys, and tellti them that I anm for Tillman to the ic end-.b Cotton planting and the trans- i planting of tobacco is the order of n< the day. Tobacco is being exten- el sively planted in this section, and of the planters realize as high as 00 th C- t ,er pond. W. H. C. i DAVE TUCKER ives the Readers of The Time-% a Few Thouights onl the Events of the Day. Editor Manning Times: As the quakers y, the spirit moves me, and I will write te Times a few thoughts about passing rents; wcul hILve written ere this, but I tve beet altired sick with the grip the past to months, and don't feel so very spruce w. Didt you ever have the grip, my iend? I certainly hope you may never. is one of the most insidious ailments at ever struck me: it's the embodiment of ery pain and ache that human flesh is -ir to, with a far away and don't-care-if-I .e feeling all the time. You cough like a 'clone, and when you sneeze, which you e doing two-thirds of your time, it seems it a streak of lightning had run down >ur back bone, and when vou recover your -eath you wonder you didn't sling your )nr head off, and it generally winds up ith a tirst-class headache. If yon have ty of these symptomlis, my considerate iend, you have the grip, that's sure. it enongh of this. There has been so much excitement I aong our people about the dispensary iv, mob law, etc., the past week that I am e from being calm and serene as I should A more conservative and tolerant spirit st pervade our people before we can er be the prosperous and united people were prone to boast of. Why this vio it dissension among our peo ple is a mys V to me, when both faction. claim to be mocratic in principle, and one of the rdinal doctrines of Democracy i" that the injority shall rule," Jake Floyd says he ows what's the matter: That the Re mers hold the ofticesand want to stay in, d Conservatives want to kick tiei out d climb in whether or not, but thev wil. ver do it as long a-, c!.fiIs six cents a dA. he is about right. An her irritating caise of this state of affairs the persistent opposition of a part of the -ess of the State to the administration. It >pears as if they can see no good in it, d frequently slander and circulate false itements about State affairs, and that v. Tillman is the cause of all the wicked ss and devilment done in the State. metimes when I read these reports, I ink to my self, it is a good thing, per ps that the good Lord does not execute anias and Sapphria judgment on these ople. If He did what a first-class edi- t rial cemetery we soon would have. May a good roasting is in reserve for them in i e long hereafter, that will be more terrible an a natural horn death. This state of things should not exist. ie press is a power for good or evil, and en this influence is used to degrade and base the State they do incalculable in ry to the whole people. "Whom the ds wish to destroy they first make mad," a trite and true maxim, and it really ap ars that a few hot head editors of the inservative faction would ruin the State if I eir advice was followed-this is not true I rnalism. I The Reformers, in everthing, are not! rfect, but they have profited by their ex rience, and if properly aided and en raged by all good citizens, peace and rmony would soon reign supreme in our stracted State. The blow that has been -ack in Darlington is deplorable in the treme, the consequence and result of iich time alone can unfold. It was an chy, pure and simple, and it behooves ery good citizen of the State to exercise to e very uttermost his influence in the in rest of the peace and harmony of the I te. One result is already seen in the insub dination of some of the military coM- t nies of the State. This wias the least to expected, without discussing the motive at influenced their conduct. They t emed to have forgotten the first duty of a Idier-prompt obedience without ques- 1 in to the order of their superior officers. ave no words of condemnation to utter anst them, for I am satisfied that when im judgment and reason shall a.tain have sway, their own conscience will be the< onitor to condemn or approve their con- ] ict. But the evil has been done, by the ample they have set before the young en of-our State, and the disgrace they. e brought upon the once proud prestige our mihxtary ->rganizations. The laws of, r State are sup'reme and should be 'eyed while they are on the statute books, matter whether we approve them or not., e balkt is the only weapon whereby law iding citizens can have redress from noxious legislation, and a rigid enforce nt of such laws encompas.ses their speedy peal. H There is no reason or wisdom in powderi d balls to attest one's opposition. Tha~t a game that two can play at,'~ and the er dog generally gets worsted. Nwithstanding this unhappy state of &irs I do not despair for my beloved ite. She will arise puritied from having ssed through the crucible of politicalI sensions, I have at, abiding faith in y country that all will be well with us in ne to come. "How calm, how beautiful comes on the ly hour when storms are gone and man's :son returns to the path of virtaire and etitude. It engenders a spirit of for' esess and forgetfulness of the past. As e spirit of justice steals into the old cem- I' ry of our hearts in the quiet time to lift I and restore the stone that was dashed to e ground in violence and passions; his ry embodies a picture lull of the thought d hope, that as reason grows clearer and mpathy more tender, force will be tem red by the principle of co-operation, and all the time to come human wrongs be ;hted by love and not by blood."

Our Gaullanit Cayalry. Among the men who responded promptly Gov. Tfillman's call to preserve the peace d protect life andl property was Capt. D. . Brailsford, of Clarendon.
