Last Saturdiay night Sheriff Bradham re ceived a telegram from bilver notifying him of the killing of Harvey Johnson, col ored, by W. J. Eloward, white. The sherifi notified the coroner, who went to Silver and held an inquest, Sunday. The cause of the killing, we understand, is that Johnson and Howard were both working at Atkins's mill and they became involved in an alter cation. Howard struck Johnson with a fire itick and the blow proved fatal. How ard has left the county. A warrant is out for him. An unfortunate accident happened on Mr. J. B. Holladay's place in the Fork last Friday, Mr. E. R. Plowden was riding a fine mule belonging to Mr. S. P. Oliver tc bead oft some cattle, and on reaching a cer tain point, Mr. Plowden jumped off the raule and hitched him. He then went tc thie fence to shoot a cow and just as he timred the mule moved and the cow rau off, Then Mr. Plowden turned to let the hammer of his rifle down when it slipped and the rifle fired striking the mule twc inches below the right eye and the ball came out at the back of the neck inflicting a wound eighteen inches long. Strange tc ay, the mule remained standing on his feel after being shot. It is thought the mult will get well. COUNTY CONTENTION. Tindal Endorsed. The.

Total vote was, Tindal 350, Evans 290, Ellerbe 27. James E. Tindal having received a majority vote he was declared the choice of the county, and the follow ing eight delegates were elected by ballot to vote for Tindal in the State Convention: J. M. Sprott, D. J. Bradhain, C. M. Davis, Louis Appelt, T.- S. Cantey, D. M. Bradham, Jas. E. Davis, W. C. Davis. . While the tellers were counting the ballots some one suggested that the candidates for Legislative honors be called upon to address the conven tion. Senator Ragin was the first to speak, and he delivered a humorous as well as a practical talk. He was followed by Dr. Woods who seemed to see spooks and all sorts of things to threaten the Reform movement because they would not have a "free for all" fight for the gu bernatorial nomination. He thought the step was unwise and calculated to injure the Reformers by keeping the white people divided. His speech seemed to take quite vell with some of the spectators in the audience who are not members of the Reform movement, and, in fact, are among those who are engaged in trying to induce members of the Reform clubs to join the Conservative clubs. Hon J. W. Kennedy was next to respond to repeated calls for him, and in his usual happy and eloquent style advocated the Reform adminis tration and thought the fears of dis integration in our ranks was unwant ed, and speaking for his section he was satisfied that on the 28th a full vote would be polled. Captain Davis also responded hap pily to the calls made for him, and he reviewed the Reform cause telling his hearers that it was a duty they owed to themselves to arouse the people to activity and keep the oppo sition from making any inronds upon the Reform faction. Captain Davis shows signs of becoming a first rate public speaker, as every speech he makes is an improvement upon the last. R. H. Griffin anuounced his candi dacy and stated the reason of his faihire to attend the campaign meet iugs, but if elected ie would support the dispensary law, the constitutional econvention, and Ben Tillman for the United States Senate. The tellers not having finished the count, Captain D. J. Bradham was called for, and he made a rousing speecb, chock full of Reform enthu siasm. He said that it had been so decreed by the Reformers that the "Colleton plan" should be the plan for suggesting our standard bearers. He hoped that it would be our last convention, and that hereafter a di rect primary be given the people as promised in the Farmers' Movement platform. That as far as the candi dates for governor were concerned all of them were true Reformers, and if it should so happen that Claren don's candidate cannot secure the prize, there was one great consolation, that it will fall into worthy hands. His speech, while kind in tone tt - wards our opponents, yet it was full of Reform fire and calculated to put the Reformers to work as -soon as the "'possum"~ shows his teeth., Ia other words, there appeared throughout the speech a fixed determination on the part of every Reformer to put for ward renewed energy should the op position put out a ticket. At the conclusion of Captain Brad ham's speech the tellers came for ward with their report of the vote, and the delegates above mentioned were the ones that received the ma ority vote. The convention having finished the work for which it was called, the State committeeman, in accordance with his instructions, asked those not members of the conven.tion to retire as he desired to confer with the dele gates privately. The spectators re tired and the doors were closed. The roceedings of the convention were harmonious throughout, and although the vote in the county was not as heavy as it should have been there is nothing about it to indicate anythingi to discourage the Reformers of the county.

Editor T'he Manning Timni: Dear Sir:-After so ionma a time the board of county cominissionE-rz have aMtt'mpte a reply, through this proxy, to our ree-nt comnricnation. We asik spac-.. for what follows. In the begin,:ng Mr. Davis iuestions our authorship. We will he more compli mentarv and savx we do not doubt Mr. Da vis's sole authorship of his article. for none else could or would have held himself up to the public gaze in so rediculous an as pect, and since the're is more Davis than anything else in it, we beg pardon for the amount of Davis we must necessarily bring into this second communication. We charged that the board imade an no necessary number of visits to the crossmng in question. See how nicely and unwit tingly Mr. Davis substantiates that charge as follows: "No one doubts that this com munity needs exactly what they are asking for." "The board certainly saw the necessity of the work." "They arrived ~at this conclusion from the report of Mr. Holladay upon his visit there March 16th, 1893." Mr. Holla. day came alone, and upon his report the board "concluded that the work was a ne cessity." Why then, we repeat, should the entire board and not two of them, as Mr. Davis savs. revisit the crossing (n July 2lth, 1'J3 Y Surely they will not say they came because we invited them. Small credit to Mr. Holladay's judgment and "re port," and their own formed conclusion" as a board. But the visit was charged tip to the county, just the same. After con cluding that the work- "as a necessity." we suppose a "recon-ideration" was in order and they thought it best to all go and cor roberate this conclusion. Further on Mr. Davis says this third vis it was "in accordance with an official (not a legal) notice that they would receive bids." Having "concluded that the work was a necessity," having all gone to the spot and corroberated this conclusion, was it neces sary they should all be there to receive bids? Could not one of them have received bids? That they paid an unnecassary number of visits is clear. Mr. Davis says. "the petition was not granted or brought to the attention of the board until after Mr. Holladay's visit on March 16th, 1893. Now we reassert that we did go to Manning at the February term of court '93, that we did see each of the Messrs. Davis, and that they did prom ise us to put the petition in the hands of the grand jury. He goes on to say, "I know I could have declined to have done any such thing, knowing that it was the duty of the county commissioners to first pass upon such matters, and only in case of their gross and wilful neglect could it then be proper for a grand jury's present ment." In that statement 31r. Davis places the "gross and wilful neglect" cer tainly upon his and his father's shoulders. Why was iot the petition brought to the attention of the board prior to Mr. Hoilla day's visit to Taw Caw on March 16th, '93? It was in the hands of the Messrs. Davis at least five monthbs before this dite. We knew there was "gross and wilful neglee " some where, ard it was this very fact that caused us to go to Manning and endeavor to get this petition placed in the hands if the grand jury. We took Mr. L M. iigin with us and he remembers the circum stauces. Mr. J. J. itagin w..s forenin of the grand jury, and he remembers our go in- to him ut his hotel, relating our inter views with the Messrs. Davis and asking him to be on the lookout for the petition. Perhaps we can help M:.. W. C. Davis's menory a wee bit. Mr. Davis, do you remermber 1.ng engaged at the Februaiy court 'U3 in the defence of some uegroes being prowv cuted by Mr. Ned Ingram for having stolen an "old red sow " We regretted having t do so hut had you called to the front door of court house and asked you about the petition. You told us yes it wias in the coumissioner's oflice, but that you couni not go to get it then, and besides you could n')t let it go from the office as it was a "mat ter of record," but that you could fornish a copy. A "maettcr or record,' but up to this time and tven until the 16th of March had not been brought to the attention of the board. "Gross and wilful neglect !" We told you we did not expect you to leave your case, (though Mr. Rthamne was at the desk during your absence) but simply asked that the petitition be put in the hands of the grand jury, and you said you would see that it was done. We had pre viously seen your father, and he told us the paper was in your hands, hut that he would see to it. We are ready to measure veracity with the Messrs. Davis at any tium2 and- place. Now, it seems to us that we fnda here ai poor lawyer with a worse memory, for he not only lost his case, lost the "old red sow," bunt lost his memory also. Poor man! Too bad ! We suppose "the mental strain in managing this hog-stealing case was too much for the young attorney's brain, his memory gave way, he forgot the obliga tions of his clerkship, and has not the "faintest recollection" of having been called from his desk and asked about the petition. We are glad Mr. James E. Davis does not deny spending a night with Mr. Tur ner, suggesting the petition, and1 saying he would use his influence with the commis sioners. But what "gross and wilful neg lect" of his promises ! Mr. D.ivis was a candidate and perhaps that was his way of catching votes. He will have to change his bait when next he visits Taw Caw, tor our memory can hold for four years at least. Mr. Davis accuses us of badly "misrepre senting" Senator Rtagin. What possinle object could we have in so doing? Mr. Ragin is our close and intimate friend. He authorized the statement we made and was to have written us from Columbia that we might produce his statement in black and white at the time our committee met the board, but for some reason of his own did not do so. We accept Mr. Davis's ex planation as to the S:?W surplus, but Low about the S100 out of which Mr. Raigin says this work was to be done ? Our "mare's nest" is the board of comn missioners with their official management, and their clerk is the whinoying colt. Mr. Davis wishes to shirk no responsi bility and it was upon his "advice as oae of their attorneys that they reconsidered." For pity's sake how many attorneys have they ? We suppose each is expected to re member what the other forgets and in that haphazard way keep the board well advised. How about the three day advertisement and their last visit to Taw Caw ? ".See how badly Mr. Burgess has been misled by M. Fischer," say s Mr. Davis, but he stops short and does not show one instance of misleading. Mr. Davis, does the law re quire thirty days, or three days notice of such work to be let to contract, or is it dis ertionary with the commissioners and their advisory adjunct ? Mr. Davis says further, "under this reconsidered view they eer only to let to contract the building of the bridges, and of course no adv'ertisenment for bids wvas seen necessary.' Yet he has al ready said their third visit was in accord. ance with an official notice that they would be there on a certain day to receive bids.' Nowv isn't that a pretty mess? No adver tisement necessary, yet they did advertise three days, and the county pays for it. Now we ask, is an "unnecessary" advertisement, before the public only three days, either good law, justice, or common sense? Mr. Davis's sarcasmi about being sick and wanting a job is very amusing and falls far short of its miark. We have no ex perience in such work and never dreamedt of bidding. But for the fact that we had invited the commissioners to ihne with is when they came we would not even have been there but would have wenit to a ball game at Panola. The three men referi-ed to in our ir~st communication as being there to bid were Messrs. 0. C. Scarborough, .\. D). Weils, and W\heats White. \Ir. Davis elier knows this, or he shows an "onpardonaib ignorance" as he could have known by asking the comimissim-rs. ile asks, "Why did the-r not bid ?" We reif, why' did not the commissioners ask for bids after get ting there ? Did they give anybody an op portunity to bid ? Nevertheless they' were there-"in accordance with an oniielai" but "unnecessary" notice that they would re ceive bids. Will the board please teli u: why they did not carry out theli' "recon sidered view." receive bids, and "arrange all necessary details ?" What blockaded your progress? When our committee met the board in thir office, the board stated that if a mar could be found who would do this work and wait until winter for his pay they could have the work done.
