'Ihe comipanay turned out thirty-five strong, and went through the evolutions with the precision of regulars. The Guards bid fair to be come one of the best cow panies in the state. The campaigners were at Yorkville yesterday and Gov. Tillman had the crowd by a two-thirds majority. Hon. James E. Tindal made a strong speech and left an impression that means votes. The mieeting was fullI of enthusiam and good order pre vailed. Died, suddenly last Sanday at Brogden'a, Mr. John M. Plowden, aged about 60 years.

The Mlanning Guards will be isp~ect< d tomorrow afternoon by Assistant Adjutant General Watts, and we expect the boys will show themselves off to advantage. By~ the way girls, Col. Watts is a single young man, and handsome, too, and the people are going to make him Adjutant t-eenri in the .ext election. The inspection wil come C ff in the cool of the afternoon, and we ho e the ladies will grace the occasion ith ti pv resence. The two-story te'rca room dwelling house on the jPrinces pond plantation, owned by Mr. M . Levi, and occapied by Mr. C. L. Wilson and family, was destroyed by fire last Friday morning about 2 o'clock. The fire is supposed to have originated in the upper story from a rat igniting a match. Mr. Wilson and h family made a narrow escape with their lives, and did not save all of their thing. The kitchen and aa out house was af.o le.stroved. The dw:iing house was a fLne oae. and when built cost at least $4,(.00; it was insured for $1,000 in the South Carolina Howe. Never before in our recollection has so much sympathy been shown and express'-d tor parties charged with and convicted of crime as was in the atse of John W. Hodge and his wife Ilester, who were convicted of unlawful intermarrying in the last term of our court. John Ilodge is a white man of no educ-tion. and about two vears ago he married iLester Gibbs, a very light colored, in fact almost white, woman. The woman claims that a white woman is her grand mother. and that her mother is white and her father mixed with Indian blood. She' comes from a family of mixed b'ooded people who pride themselves on always having enjoyed freedom and of not getting into social contact with any but white people. The couple were reported to the grand jury, and in the re cent term convicted. The man was sent to the penitentiary for a term of one year, anti the wonan was fined five hundred dollars, but on the showing made to the judge that she could not pay the fine and that she had an infant of very tend'er age and ill, the judge mercifully ordered her release. John went to the penitentiary on Monday morn ing and immediately after his departure a petition was circulated among the citizens of the town and country asking Executive clemency. The petition was very strong and when it was presented to the Governor last Thursday he issued a pardon for both the man and woman. Judge Norton and acting Solicitor Levi both recommended clemency.

Nzw YonE, June 11.-An Asheville, N. C., special says : The widow of Senator Zebulon B. Vance ame to Asheville Wednesday and had the body of the senator moved from the Vance family plot in the cemetery. where it was riginally buried, to a plot she had bought the day the senator was buried. Charles . Vance, a son of the senator and his pri vate secretary during his life, arrived in Asheville on Saturday and had the body again disinterred and reburied in the famn fly plot. Young Vance declares that it was his father's dying request that his body sh~ould be buried in this plot, which the senator al bought and beautified during his life, and that his first wife's body (Young Vance's mother) should be placed beside him. Vance says that he is determined that his father's wishes shall be obeyed if the law has to be invoked in order to carry them out. The plot of ground to whicn ars. Vance had the senator's body removed is the Hill Top, the most beautiful and ommanding spot in the cemetery, and her bject in placing the senator's body there was the fitness of the site for the erection of a great monment to the senator's memory by the people of the State.. Mrs. Vance is a Catholic, and when it was found that the senator was dying a priest was about to performi the last sacra ent when Chas. N. Vasnc interferedl. Senator Vance wvas a Protestant, atal, it is said, had requested that none of the rites of the Catholic church be atllowedl over him. Young Vance said he wvouild permit his f ather's body to be removed to) theu plot se ured by Mrs. Vance pronudedl his first wife's body be placed beside the senator's, but this Mlrs. Vance declined to agree to. It is niot known wvhat steps Mrs. Vance will take when she learns what has been done. I GUARANTEED CURE.

T1 Prohibitionists Vote for the Dispensary th th, Law. lo( The Manning Times has received many in requests to republish the New York Times' In account of the way Gov. Tillman handled wl the Temperance convention on Staten Is- to land. The Times is the only New York na paper which did the square thing by the tic Governor. The following is the story of an that paper: th, "I came here to contend that prohibition does not prohibit, cannot prohibit and th, never wi!l prohib.t. and to tell you that we le, in South Carolina havo found a plan that Ia: utterly destroys tue saloons." erl Gov. B. R. Tiliman uttered this sentence inl upon the platform in the auditorium at br National Prohibition Park last night in the aff presence of 2,000 men and women, 5,0 of ev whom were delegates to the International pa Temperance Congress, and included many th of the leading Prohibition party leaders lay and temperance workers of this country. of The declaration was greeted with cries of wc "No! No !" applause and hisses. w1 Never before had there been sucb a scene is in the Prohibiti6n Park auditorium. Gov. I i Tillman, striking in his appearance and in fa, his utterances, faced the great audience of foi liquor abolitionists with a half pint bottle TI of South Caiolina dispensary whiskey in of his hand, and for an hour combatted the as theories dearest to the hearts of the prohi- pe bitionists. The electric lights had gone v, out just before lie was introduced, and a gii score of kerosene lamps and lanterns but th, dimly revealed the audience. ini Gov. Tillman's declarations wele con- na stantly greeted with a storm of dissenting to voices and applause. When ie closed his of speech he asked all who wented prohibition N or nothing to raise their handt, and then kn he asked those to vote who would favor a cu State dispensary law if they could not have tho prohibition. It was three to one for a dis- m, pensary law, and with a parting "Oh, I vi< have g* you!" the Governor left the plat- sa form. an At the outset Gov. Tillman told the audi- . ence that he had come a long way in the ert interest of right and tru.b. It had been go said that he had backbone and he intended or to show his hearers that he had, for he in- er tended to say what he believed, but it lax would not suit them. He said: be: "I venture to say that I am the only pol- th< itician here to-night. If any of you are its politicians, you do not look like it and do must be politicians out of a job. I am Governor of a State and a candidate for chi United States Senator, and I tell you I am wil going o be elected. But to-night I am th< going to controvert some of your dearest up theories and arguments." thl lie then explained the provisions of the wi South Carolina dispensary law. The law co, went into operation July 1, 1893, and was pa declared unconstitutional on April 1. 1891, as by the State Supreme Court. The State. otl bought whiskey, put it into sealed packages. fri sold it to county commissioners and they ] in turn sold it to the sixty-six retail dis- of pensaries. These were open only in the of daytime, and sold whiskey in quantities of the not less than half a pint. acl Some one in the audience asked if whis- val key was sold on Sundays, and Gov. Till- th, man replied that there were no side doors re, to the dispensaries. pri In nine months. he said, the State had on expended $475,000 and had sold $567,000 fiv worth of whiskey, and had $98,000 worth se( on hand. The dispensaries had received in< $597,000, and had whiskey valued at $104.- ta3 000 on hand. This gave a profit- of over tui $100,000 to the State and SS4,u00 to the hil counties and towns. Under the license la, system the counties had received $1,000 or and the towns and cities 134,000 from 813 m( saloons. Thus, with 66 dispensaiies the eri income was greater than with 813 saloons. wi In a period of six months before the dis- of pensary law went into efiect there were 577 my arrests for drunkenness and disorder, and thl in the corresponding period last year 287 ro arrests. Most 'of the drunkenness, the ize Governor said, 'was from blind tiger whis- ta key that the people got out of holes in the It ground and their boot legs. B, "The liquor revenue of the United w] States." the Governor continued, "is 130,- ha 000000 a year. Are you willing to have ilv that tax removed?" - t Cries of "Yes ! Yes !" greeted the Gov- hi, ernor's question, and be said: w '-You did not think when you said that," au be replied. "You do not want the tax re- ur moved for it will put whiskey down to 25 if cents a quart. You cannot get a thousand p votes in the United States to remove it." . h Shouts of "Yes ! You can get them in this th hall !" came back to the Governor. The en shouts, applause and hisses grew so loud Iar that some one declared it a shamne that wt Prohibitionists could not give any one oPa th posed to them a respectful hearing, at Gov. Tillmnan laughingly said it did not it interrupt him. "Down our waiy," he con- ru tined, "a fellow gets used to that sort of o thing, and I have had rocks fired at me so much that I have got a hide like a rhinoc- pt. eros." di He said he was a practical sort of a pro- eq hibitionibt, and could safeiy say he had not so drank five gallons of whiskey in his life. va: He was opposed to high license, because it of put the business in the control of a few set rich men, while, with low license the saloon an keeper had to sell "low down, mean stuff' ar< to na' ea living. w "I believe you can make the liquor traffic th respectable." he said. This brought an- it othef storm and cries of "Never ! You can't kit do it." in< Gov. Tillman paused a fall minute, and shi then said: "Well ! You are set in your ways. You are like some of the prohibitionists down our way, who are opposing us and are cheek by jowl with the saloon keepers. .Some of jx your eminent D. D.'s I have he-ard with by much interest here to-day. an l they have b en passing out vitriol pretty lively about te churches. I want to thiro' some stones i:i that direction myself.

Of course they could ou carry anything if they wvouldl, but your church ministers and members are as badly demoralized as were my South Carolina militiamen when I ordered them ont. "The sweetest result of the dispensary law," Gov. Tillman said, --ws that the act local whiskey ring was torn up root and sui branch, and the influence of the bar keeper hol in polhtics was com pletely destroyed." ial "Gov. Tillman had several times, when stopped by dissenting cries, declared that he would win the audience for tihe disper sary law, and when at the close of his Ja speech he polled the audience, as already it described, it was with him by an over; wheming majority.3 .+. an You run no risk.

This is the unjust and unequal taxa n of land, and I will proect il to show to y unprejndiced and disinte-rested mind a tenable position of these coneluion. First.

If it is desirable to build a railroad, public road, it is left to the voters gen dly (not alone to the land owners), the d is condemned and forcibly taken, and ;ides oftentimes a taxation leviel upon land to help complete !the road, when advantage to the lind owner is of a ubtful nature. rhird. For all the railroads. public, arch and private roads the land is taken thout compensation from its owner, for general good, still he must pay taxes on. It matters not how many roads run -ough the land there is no deduction en it comes to taxation, the owner is npelled to give the right of way and still y taxes upon public or private property, the road is public or. priTate. Is any ier class of property subject to like in ngement? . Fourth. Now as to income this class property brings to its owner. Whatkind investment is so little remunerative to amount invested, as land? A buys 100 -cs of land for $1,00t0, fifty of it in culti tion. Now really this fifty acres is all it he can possibly claim nuacration from. Under our !seat system of farming A gives e-half, or the ent re proceeds of twenty e acres, furnishing stock, implements, tds, etc., to the tenant, only realizing the mine from twenty five ac:e., still paying :es on 100 acres. Outside of a little pas -age or timb.r, what.is the rtal value to n of the fifty acres of uncultivatible id, any more than so much water or waste? B goes to town invests $1,000 in rcandise, or clerks in a store, or gov iment office, practicss medicine or law th an income or salary of $1,000. Now this how much does ie realize, and how ich does he pay towards the expenses of government, asynmuis. poor .houses, ids, bridges, etc. One dollar and real s the whole $1,000.

It is easily learned, does beau tiful work, and WILL LAST A DECADE, if properly cared for. In speed co;tests it has repeatedly taken the firs place and in telegraphic work has never been excelled. For manifolding purposes it has no superior. With interchangeable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible. The experience of business men, ministers, te legrapliers, short-hand schools, and government departments all go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer. -SOLD ON EASY TERMS. C.
