After this week the ,Times will try and give its readers more general State news than it has heretofore been giving them. Mr. C. A. Ridgill has returned home from his trip to Florida, where he has been on a prospecting tour. There is no place like home. Mr. D. W. Alderman's little son that met with the misfortune to lose both of his legs was in town last Monday looking bright and cheerful. If you want the best and cheapest cow food in the world, call on Thomas & Brad ham, who have just received a car-load of cotton-seed hulls and cotton-seed meal.

The next court convenes in Manning February 24th. Jrudge Witherspoon, will preside. Several newspapers in this cir cuit have the mistaken impression that Judge Buchanan will be here next. We defy anybody to point out a place in this town where lhquor is being illegally sold.

The funeral serv'ices were held in the Methodist church after which the body was laid at rest in the Manning cemetery.

The State authorities are very slow in is Ruing commissions. None of our trial jus tices have received their commissions, anda we know of at least one of the county of fices that has not even been notified of his election.

Shelton. the traveling agent for the Co lumtbia Register, was the victim of a vicious attack made upon him by the Mitchell brothers of that place. One of them- held him while another beat him with a barrel stave, aud another chewed one of his ears. The cause of the difdecnity seems to be that Skelton some time before denounced one of the Mitchells while in Columbia. There are quite a number of persons that owe us various amounts on account of our leniency in allowing them to fall in ar rears with us. We know that money is scarce and those owing us are honest.

It is being stated in the newspapers tbat Mrs. Colin Manning will soon rcako- her ap pearance on 'the stage as a professional pianist. Mrs. Mtanning is a daughter of Chief Justice Fuller. of the United States Supreme Court, and a few years aco mar ried Mr. Colin Manning. formerly of Clar endon, the youngest son of the late ex Gov ernoc John L.

There are some people in this town so modest, that to see a horse brush ing flies off his back with his tail would make them blush, but their modesty cannot affect the various uses tails are put to. One of our subscribers at the Jor dan postoffice complains of not being ible to get his paper regularly. We ope the post master will look af ter this matter and that no more complaints will be heard from that quarter.

Some of the newspapers of the State are calling for action by some of those who issued the real conserv ative address a few weeks ago. We need no action in this direction, for as a matter of fact if an organized ef fort is made on the part of any part of the people it will necessarily meet with nartisan resistance and it will fail to accomplish its purpose, it will of itself be partisan. We feel sure that it was the unanimous wish of the forty that the whole of the white people of the State make choice of mneni without reference to previous political conditions, and this will be done, unless a paitisan campaign is forced on us by over-ambitious poli ticians. Thev recognize the fact that this is to be the most important body that has gathered in the State since the war with the greatest du ties and the heaviest responsibilities, and they were fully aware that in a partisan contest the more important matters, matters that will certainly make the law conform to the condi tions of the times are lost sight of, and probably he who would be least qualified would be the apparent choice, when in reality it was the- cry of persecution. If it was expected that this conference should resolve it self into a support for any faction just for the purpose of gaining con trol of the convention, this is a great mistake. On the other hand, it was expected to allay all strife and allow the people to come together and work in harmony. The people are fully competent to take care of their interest and will make no mistake in the choice of men if allowed quietly to go about it, but a campaign upon factional lines would simply amount to the minority whipping themselves out of the representation they would be entitled to and would get in the convention. There need not be the slightest fear that the rights of the people will be loosely dealt with, or that any set of men would attempt to incorporate in the organic law a sys tem whereby they could perpetuate their own political interest, for they could not hardly have little enough foresight, but that they would know it would rebound with accelerated force. Whatever may be the condi tions, we have confidence in that body to give us a better, simpler and more harmonious law. Now, we do not intend to offer advice or attempt to mark out any particular course for any faction to pursue, but we hope that the politicians who have unfor tunately found themselves on the light side will not try to dictate the policy that must be adopted and car ried out by that conservative forty. Suppose the forty should make a faithful effort to organize in each county as suggested. Would they or could they avoid coming in conflict with the organized party of the State? There being no way to beneft the sit uation by organization, the better plan is to leave each county to ar range for representation according to its own consciousness. But in an swer to definite suggest ions, suppose that Charleston andi Richland coun ties should be the first to step on to the conservative platform and allow proportionate representation, is there any- doubt but tbat there would be at. least one of their faction put on from every county, and some more. Our position is that the State exec utive committee should meet as early as practical and adopt a definite plan for the nomination of delegates, and then every white man go to work to crry out in good faith his part of the contract. We believe it best, and hope the executive committee will so decile, to leave to each county the method of its choice for delegates. Oconee News. NTotice.

As there is no Pythbian newspaper in South Carolina and no Southern ogan of the order, Mr. M. W. Coker, wh i a Pthiau, and who is well ko ninlewspaper cresin Co lumnbia, will shortly start the publi cation of "The Pvthian Journal," a four p)age weekly at $1 a y-ear. Its object will to be to keep all Knights of Pythias in this or other States well informed as to the news and workings of the order in every lodge and for the ennobling, better ment and elevation of mankind. Mr. Coker has received much en couragement from the Pythian Knights of this, as well as other cities and from present indications the pa per will be a grand success. A number of well known newspa per men and Pythians and Knights of Pvthias from all over the State will contribute weekly to the paper. It will contain the news from every lodge in the State every week, such as meetings, etc. .\r. Coker will be glad to correspond with cvery Knight in the State that is interested in the project and hopes that the K. of R1. & 5. will send him for publication in its tirst issue the names of the newly elected officers and nights of meeting of each lodge. It is a worthy effort and a noble one and deserves the earty co-operation of every true Knight of Pythias in the State. His address is 295 Main street.

On Good Friday, March 31, we drove into Taranto to see the passion procession. It passed very slowly down the Corso at the midst of a great moving crowd. The members of the Confraternita, with white hoods and veils, a twisted wreath of thornstems around their foreheads, a white soutane, blue sash and very pale lemon colored cape, marched barefoot before each of the palchi, or platforms. These were carried on the shoulders of four stalwart broth ers of the order, assisted by four men in civil dress. Life size figures, real istically painted, told the history of the passion in six tableaus. First came Christ, kneeling in the garden, while a white robed angel stood beside and offered him a cup. Then A terrible Christ at the flagel lation pillar, his bones laid bare at the shoulders, knees, ribs, the pallid flesh torn with livid wales and bleed ing wounds. Then Christ robed in the purple with the crown of thorns-the Ecce Homo. Then the crucifixion. Then a black bier with a huge black cross above it. Then the chief piece of the whole show-a dead, white Christ, covered with a veil, placed upon a rich mor tuary bier. Besides the usual bear ers four gentlemen of the city in full dress held the four ends of the pall. Among them was the magnificent Marchese d'A-, with his grand swagger. "Che bellas preenza!" said the people. Their lackeys in livery attended these four noblemen. The procession was terminated by a Madonna Dolorosa in rather fash ionable mourning holding a red heart in her hand. Priests and other brethren of the Confraternita closed the cortege. Three brass bands, sounding lugubrious and impressive strains of music, with cavernous drums and clashing cymbals, kept up a continuous plangent ululation as the pomp went slowly by. It was evening ere it passed. Lighted lamps and wax torches made the last two tableaus more impressive.-Fort nightly Review. The Shooting of Marshal Ney. Ney refused naturally to place him self on his knees and to allow his eyes to be bandaged. He only asked Commandant Saint-Bias to show him where he was to stand. He faced the platoon, which held their muskets at "the recover," and then, in an atti tude which I shall never forget, so noble was it, calm and dignified, without any swagger, he took off his hat, and profiting by the short mo ment which was caused by the ad judant de place having to place him self on one side and to give the signal for firing, he pronounced these few words, which I heard very distinctly, "Frenchmen, I protest against my sentence, my honor"-- At these last words, as he was placing his hand on his heart, the detonation was heard. He fell as if struck by lightning. A roll of the drums and the cries of "Vive le Roil" by the troops formed in square brought to a close this lugubrious ceremony. This fine death made a great im pression on me. Turning to Augus tus de la Rochejaquelin, colonel of the Grenadiers, who was by my side and who deplored, like myself, the death of the brave des braven, I said to him, "There, my dear friend, is a grand lesson in learning to die." "The Empire and the Restoration," General Rochechouart. The Hottest Spot In flie West. In the western hemisphere the hottest region is a valley in Califor nia, known as the Death valley, situ ated to the east of the Sierra Neva das and running between two moun tain ranges, the Funeral or Tuneral, 6,000 feet, and the Amargosa, 10,000 feet. which has as high or even a higher mean temperature than the region on the Persian coast. In four months out of five, during which readings of the thermometer were taken, the mean temperature rose above 90 degrees while in July and August it exceeded 100 degrees. The mean temrperature for the 24 hours on July 18, 1891, was just over 108 degrees. This valley is iminhab ited and derived its significant name from the circumstance that an ac tive party of California emigrants, who had strayed from the regular :verland frail, perished there in 1850 from heat and thirst-Spare Mo ments. An Anecdote of Gounod. As everybody by this time knows, Gounod was at one moment within an ace of takig holy orders, but on reflection he thought that the life of a priest would not buit him. He none the less remained a firm and devout Catholic and adored religious music. On this point a typical anecdote is told of him. It occurred during the rehearsal of his "Drames Sacres" at the Vaudeville theater. The mana ger called on him one morning and asked permission to make a sugges tion. "I think, mon cher maitre," he said. "'that there is something wanting in your sacre. For example, do you not think that the Barabbas incident might be improved by a lit tle more orchestral effect?" Gounod, without replying, hid his head in his hands, and after two or three mini utes of meditation suddenly ex claimed: "-No. Decidedly no.

Nothing but sunperior merit keeps it so long at the front. Anatomy of a Snake. The anatomy of a snake is peculiar and has much to do with its peculiar motion. The ribs are loosely articu lated with the vertebra and are movable. By bending the body in lateral curves, which is the only. mode of motion, and not the vertical bending, as many think, the scales. which are attached to the ends d~ the ribs, are separated, and 1:g their free edges take hold upon the ground. When the body is straightened out, the ends of the ribs approach each other, and so force the body forward; then by the bend ing of the other side this movement is repeated, and so the snake glides along. The same movement of the ribs and scales forces the animal through the water, as it swims with tho head above the surface, and 'with its body slightly submerged.-New VYor Times Swelling in the Neck " La r g e knots of scrofula nature eame on my wife's neck for four years.

Barrows School House, Midway owship, Friday, January 25th, A good way for the taxpayer, who as much property to return, is to ake a numeration of the number of orses, cattle,mules, sheep and goats, mogs, watches, organs and pianos, rlggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, erchandise, machinery, moneys, otes and accounts, (above indebted less) furniture, &c., which will save le taxpayer time, and enable the Lsessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own n the first day of January, 1895 All personal property, must be eturned th's- year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter he first given name of the taxpayer a full, also make a seperate return 'or each party for the township the 'roperty is in, and where the tax aver owns realty, to insert the past ffie as their place of residence, and hose who only own personal prop rity, to give the party's name wh~o ,wns the land they live on as their esidence, which aids the taxpayer well as the county treasurer in naking the collections and prevent g errors. Every male citizen between the Lges of twenty-one and fifty years ,n the first day of January, 1895, ex ep; those incapable of earning a upport from being mamied, or from )ther causes, shall be deemed tax bl polls. All the returns that are made after he twentieth day of February will iave a nenalty of 50 per cent,_ added hereto, :mless prevented by sickness r out of the county during the time ,f listing. Not knowing the time of isting is no excuse. And all owners )f real estate, might do their tenants, vho cannot read, or take a news aper, a great favor by making their eturns or telling them the time of isting, and that if they fail to make their returns in time that the valua bion has to be increased 50 per cent. mnless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of axes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the umber and value of all the horses, attle, mules, & c.. as well as the acres f land, lots, and buildings, and their value, that there is in the county, and have same on fila in the Comp troller Gjeneral's office by the thir tieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Oc tober each year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be com pleted and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by Ithat time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. J.
