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.

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.

Scx'iEim:ox. S. C., Aug. 6. 1i4.
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. We repied
such was the ease we had no doubt such

SnLvEt, Aug. 6.-It is wonderful
how God in His Prov.idence some
times spare the hiuman life~ for so
many years. Ma'umn Rainey Cochrau,
colored, died on our place ont Thurs
day evening last, and we are credita-:
bly informed that she was one hundred
and ten years old. I kne'w her for
eighteen~ or twenty years. She was
strong and active up to a few weeks
ago. I talked with her just a short
time before she died. and .she! was eni
tirely iu her right ud. Said she
was ready to die, ami felt iare~t of her
salvation. She is the0 moc~te, gra'iad,
and great-grand-mnother' of an un!
usual good set of negroecs.
We are still hav.ing~ ai hireu .aal of
