Whenever people are tired of their wear ing apparel they should not be so cruel as to send them to young men of pride. One of our modest young men discovered a piece of clothing in his room that was in a badly torn or split condition, and the young man thinks that they might have had consideration enough for him to have sewed them as he is a batchelor and has no one to do his sewing for him and he has too much pride to wear an article of clothing so bad ly split. There will be a bicycle race Christmas afternoon around the coiiit house square. The contestants to be entered are: Messrs. M. Levi, S. A. Rigby, Louis Loyns, B. A. Walker and W. S. Harvin.

Next Tuesday is Christmas and we hope the festivities will not engross the minds to such an extent that the poor and needy will be forgotten. Remember we have in our midst some that are not bountifully supplied with the necessaries of life, and it will be well for each one that has a plenty to visit charity upon the poor, The pres. ent year has not been a profitabk -one with our farmers, but not withstan g the low price they received for their produce, most of them made plenty of provisions and are better equipped for another year than they have been for years past. They should be thankful that matters are no worse with them and feel that now is an opportune mnoment to cast their bread u pon the waters. The Times sends its greetings to every bousehold and wishes them a merry Christ. mas. Beautiful Christmas cards at Loryea'i the druggist. For Xmas cards go to I. B. Loryea's the druggist.

I learned, as stated in a former article, :hat before a large promiscuous congregation Ur. Gough had made certain statements Nith regard to Mr. Wesley. I called him >at in print, and from his published an twer, and not from hearsay, I based my ar ;icle. The quotations proved to be identi :ai with statements made in Graves's Iron Wheel. He says he never read the book. )f course his denial ends the controversy >n this point. It is however a remarkable oincidence that Mr. Gough's quotations ;hould agree precisely with Graves's, and )e arranged in the same order, though tak m from different books. Mr. Gough is ertainly following very closely in the foot teps of this illustrious calumniator of !ethodism. Mr. Gough, like Mr. Graves did, studies Mr. Wesley's early history, and searches it r the expression of views at variance with ~hose known to have been entertained by Mr. Wesley after he became the founder of he united societies. Is it not unfair to attack Mr. Wesley for he holding of views upon the manner of iministrating the ordinance of baptism, pposed to those held and taught by him iurizg the most important era of his life ? f Mr. Wesley, while teaching the doctrines f the church, of which he is the recognized ounder, did not hold the views ascribed to im by Mr. Gough-and all persons con rersant with this feature of Mr. Wesley's religious belief, know that he did not hold uch views-then it is a reflection upon the life, character, and memol'y, of that emi aent divine to ascribe to him the holding of uch views, and is calculated to place Mr. Wesley in a false position with those whose knowledge of the history of Mr. Wesley's ife is as limited as that of Mr. Gough. Suppose I were from my pulpit to ar raign the Apostle Paul as an enemy of the hristian religion, and undertake to prove it by quotations from the New Testament, showing that, at one time in his life, he actually persecuted the early Christian shurch, and securing letters of authority from the High Priest at Jerusalem, arrested and cast into prison men and women who rere Christians. While such are the his torical facts, would not such a charge and the garbled excerps supporting it, unac empaned by the facts in the after life of Paul-the most important and interesting part of it-present a most unjustifiable as. persion of the Apostle's character ? Would my persistent declaration, that the histori. e ii facts stated were the exact words of the Neaw Testament, justify or mitigate the wrongfulness on my part of such an attack? Now can it be construed as ingenuous on the part of Mr. Graves and Mr. Gough to refer to transactions which occurred in the early years of Mr. Wesley's ministry at Savannah, when it is an uindisputed fact, that years after, Mr. Wesley's views, char. ater and life-course, were changed, and that he established two churches, one in Europe and the other in America, whose doctrines and government show clearness f intellect and pureness of heart, free from the extreme severety of his former high church views. Like 8t. Paul, he was onscientious but mistaken and rash in his religious zeal. Mr. Gough ca t never hope to merit the esteem of Methodists by making assaults n the integrity of the founder of Method. isnm, and though these assaults appear in indirect form, they, as will appear from what has already been said, reflect, and un justly reflect, upon the good name of Mr. Wesley: they make him out as a man who held on the subject of baptism opposite views to the belief he endeavored to incul cate in others. Mr. Gough declares he quoted only "Mr. Wesley's words, which he had a right to do."~ To prove what? immersion bap tism ? Why no ! Mr. Giough knows that he repudiates immersion baptism as pr ac ticed by Mr. Wesley in both the churches established by him. Is this a fair argL. ment? Does it not serve to mislead the uninformed? Mr. Gough rejects immer sion baptism as practiced by other denomi nations of Baptists, as well as by Method ist churches. Now is this right? Is his conclusion warranted from his argument? To prove that immersion is the only cor rect baptism, and then reject immersion as practiced b3 all other denominations ex cept his own, camnot stand the test of jusi criticism. With regard to the proselyting of two of my young members, I have no reply to make. The public have my statement and Mr. Gough's reply. The community is conversant .with the historical facts con nected with the case, and their intelligence and piety can judge between us. Mr. Gough says, "I have no inclination to compare my brother to a dog baying the moon." He misunderstands. I intended no such comparison. The sentence was as exclamation of surprise, quoted from~ Shakespeare. In allusion to my age, Mr. Gough is quite pathetic, and rejoices in his own youth. Will he suffer me to remuind him, that while youth has its possibilities, it has its dangers, responsibilities, and uncer. tainties. "Rejoice," but "remember." In dismissing this un pleasant controver sy, I wish to say that I designed no contro versy with the Baptist church of Manning or elsewhere. I have a profound regard for the denomination, and while feeling called upon to repel an unwarranted attaci made upon the founder of my church, to gether with individual actions which I did not think comported with the love whiel: Christians should bear toward each other, it will be my purpose to cherish, as far at may be, that charity which "suffereth long and is kind." HE~nY M. MooD, Pastor Methodst church in Manning. SET FREE. Geo. T. Rowe Tried and Found Not Guilty. The case of the State vs. George T. Rowe, manager Western Union TIegraph Com pany at Manning, for obtaining money un der false pretenses was tried before Trial Justice Wells to-day and resulted in an ac quittal of that yonng man by an intelli gent jury of white men from Sumter, all well acquainted with, and, no doubt, friends of Mr, Horace Harby the prosecut ing witness. The evidence in the case brought out the following: Mr. Rowe, in compliance with the re que t of Mr. J. McLeod, merchant and cot ton buyer, of Manning, loaned McLeod $40 that he had on band, belonging to him and the W. U. '. Co. Coming to Sumter on several occasions he drew severar drafts on Mr. McLeod. of which two were honored. On the 18th of November he borrowed from Mr. H. Harby, of Suniter, $7.00, and gave him a draft on Mr. McLeod, but when the draft was presented there were only $1.50 to his credit, and %ir. McLeod, al though he had been a -coiwodated by Rowe, would not pay the difference, $2.50, and make out the full amount of the draft, therefore, the draft was returned. There was no evidence that Mi. Harby ever noti fied Mr. Rowe of the draft not being paid, and Mr. Rowe claims that he knew nothing of itA not being paid until he was arrested. In addition to drafts drawc upon Mr. Mc Leod, Rowe had a separate account in the store for goods, which his mother and fath er got there, and not being fully posted as to the amount of.goods taken up in addi tion to the drafts drawn,- Mr. Rowe says he was positive that he had at least $7.U0 on hand. The State entirely failed to prove any intent upon the part of Mr. Rowe, to defraud or obtain any money un der false pretenses. Mr. Rowe stated on the stand that it was his intention to pay Mr. Harby the $7.00 whether the case went against him or not, and that if Mr. Harby hid notified him before his arrest, he would have paid it then. The jury after considering the evidence for a very short whil-, rendered a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Rowe claimed that he was locked up in Manning jail for ten days and* not al lowed to give bail, although his friends of fered bail for him, and that only for Sheriff Marion Sanders, of Sumter, who went down there to get another prisoner and found him in the jail and took him out and brought him to Sumter when he gave bond, he would have had to remain in jail longer. This looks bad for the trial justice at Manning, if what Mr. Rowe says is true, and it does not look like he would tell a lie, knowingly, that the facts will be brought out. An esplanation is in order from the authorities in Manning, 'and it ought to come out, and if it is true the blame ought to be put on the officer, and if it is not true it is due the officer that the charge be refuted. Mr. Rowe says that Mr. Abe Levi and others offered to go on his bond, and their offers were refused. Mr. Levi can be depended to say whether this is truth or not.-Sumter Item, 11th inst. THE ROWE TRIAL AGAIN. A Contradletion and Denial of Some of the Statements Made. Editor The Daily Item:-In your issue of Dec. 11th, I notice that I am charged with being responsible for George T. Rowe hav ing remained in jail for ten days without a case against him being investigated. The facts in the case are as follows: H. L. B. Wells, trial justice at Sumter, issued the warrant for Rowe, lodged it with the sheriff of Sumter county; he sent it to the sheriff of Clarendon conty, who I suppose exe cted it. I had nothing to do with the case, and knew nothing of Rowe having re mained in jail so long until since his re lease. You state further that Mr. Rowe, says that Mr. Abe Levi and others offered to go on his bond. I deny positively that Mr. Abe Levi or any one else ever offered to me, or in my presence to go on his bond. Mr. Rowe's friends if he had any, must not have taken much interest in his case, or I, and others of the place would have known of his confinement in jail here, before we learned it through the columns of your pa per. Yours very truly, J. H. Tnmioss, Trial Justice at Manning. Manning, S. C., December 11th, 1894. Editor The Daily Item:-Trial Justice Timimons, of this place, brought to my of fice to-day a copy of your paper of the 11th, inst., and referred me to an article. therein with these headlines: "Set Free"-"Geo. T. Rowe Tried and Found Not Guilty." At the request of Trial Justice Timmons, and in justace to him, I wish to correct that part~ of the said article which reads as follows: "Mr. Rowe says that Mr. Abe Levi and others offered to go on his bond and their offers were rcfused." I will state that I never offered to go on Mr. Rowe's bond, nor was I ever asked by Mr. Rowe, . or any one in his behalf, to go or- his bond; in~ fact I was not aware of Mr. Rowe being confined in the jail here until the article above referred to was handed to me to read by Mr. Timmons. Yours trulv, A. Lxv'. The above statements in reference to the Rowe case are willingly published, in jus tice to the parties against whom Rowe made charges. The article published in the issue of the I1th instant, was a simple statement of the facts developed at the trial, and the statements made by Rowe, and there was no intention to do injustice to any one..-Sumnter Item, 15th inst.

Caillouette, Druggist, Beaversville, Ill., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live.

A good way for the taxpayer wi has much property to return, is 1 make a numeration of the number< horses, cattle,mules, sheep and goat hogs, watches, organs and piano buggies, wagons and carriages, dog merchandise, machinery, money notes and accounts, (above indebte< ness) furniture, &c., which will saa the taxpayer time, and enable i assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they o'w on the first day of January, 1895 All personal property, must 1 returned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will enti the first given name of the taxpay' in full, also make a seperate retur for each party for the township tl: property is in, and where the ta: payer owns realty, to insert the pas office as their place of residence, ari those who only own personal prol erity, to give the party's name wi owns the land they live on as the residence, which aids the taxpay' as well as the county treasurer: making the collections and preven ing errors. Every male citizen between i ages of twenty-one and fifty yea: on the first day of January, 1895, e: ept those incapable of earning support from being mamied, or fro: other causes, shall be deemed ta: ,able polls. All the returns that are made afts the twentieth day of February wi have a penalty of 50 per cent, adde thereto, unless prevented by sickne; orout of the county during the tin of listing. Not knowing the time< listing is no exeuse. And all owne: of real estate, might do their tenant who cannot read, or take a new paper, a great favor by making the returns or telling them the time< listing, and that if they fail to mal their returns in time that the valu: tion has to be increased 50 per cen unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting< taxes is all done now in the. sau year, and we have to aggregate ti number and value of all the horse cattle, mules, &c., as wvell as the acri of land, lots, and buildings, and the value, that there is in the count and have same on fila in the Comn troller' General's office by the thi tieth day of June each year. Ax from that time to the first day of O tober each year the auditor's ax treasurer's duplicate has to be cor plted and an abstract of the woi in the Comptroller's office by Ith time, which will show at a glan that the auditor has no time to tal in returns or do anything else muc between the first day of Miarch a: the first day of October each yet Ibut work on the books and blanl Therefore I hope that all taxpaye will do us the favor of making thE returns in time.
