There are fifteen prisoners in jail await ing trial in the coming court. The public are complaining about the condition of the Pocataligo causeway. . The snow and ice has amost entirely dis appeared much to the delight of every body. The Atlantic Coast Line has purchased the Charleston, Sumter & Northern rail road. Last Saturday morning Mrs. M. M.

James McDowell will be absent next Sunday, in consequence there will be ne preaching in the Presbyterian church. The editor of the Times being summoned away from his post of duty begs that his readers overlook the scarcity of news mat ter in the paper this week. The many friends of Senator La. h. Ra gin will sympathize with him in the loss of his little daughter, Lily, who died after a brief illness on the 1ith inst. Last Monday was the first day of sun shine we have had for some time and as a consequence quite a large crowd from all sections of the county were in town. Owing to the inclement weather last week, the ladies' missionary society did not have their "afternoon tea." That was one time the Times got ahead of the times and gave news that did not occur. Go to Rigby's for a brand of good flour $3.00. The causeway near Manning is still in need of repair. WVe hope the county super visor will make a requisition on the pen. itentiary authorities for a gang of convicts and put this place in a first-class condition. William Richbourg, son, of W. P. Rich bourg, colored, on the 8th -inst., accidentally shot himself with a pistol, The iball penetrated the first finger of 4he left nand. The wound was not serious but very painful. A country darkey seeing R. A . Stewart, the signal bureau man at this place, chang ing the weather signals, remarked to his companion: "Damn dat yellow nigger, Stewart, he is all de time monkeyin' wid dose flags and playin' de debbil wid de wedder." Oliver Richbourg's well raise3d above the general level on Friday last, and to his surprise found it a solid cylinder of ice. It is said that the woman smffragists will stump the State this summer to advocate a woman suffrage clause being put in the new constitution. When women get to vot ing in South Carolina the men will have to hide out. Rigby sells the best family flour for $3.50. On Sunday, the 10th inst., the four-year son of Mr. J. L. Harrington was burned while playing near the tireplace. The mother had absented herself from the room but a few moments, when she heard the cries of the child. She ran to him and in her efforts to save him was herself severely burned. The little fellow died in a short time, and the mother was so badly burned in both hands as to require medical atten tion. A gentleman from Summerton was in Manning last Monday, and he told us that the starch factory for that town is almost an assured fact. He says the party expect ing to put up the factory has written a letter to say that he would accept the ofter made him by the owner of the mill property. This factory when - put in operation wvill work up a thousand bashels a day and it will give the farmers of this county a chance to raise potatoes in large quantities and find ready sale for them. The Manning Guards bid fair to be one of the finest companies in the State. Un der the new military law they have enlisted forty-three mina and have six applications for membership on file to be acted on at their next meeting. We are certainly glad that Captain Davis has succeeded so well in getting the guards in shape and we hope that the people will give him and his men the encouragement that such an organiza tion deserves. A good inillitary company in a community is a safe guard, and we1 hope to see this company well disciplined and the pride of our citizens. Last Saturday a patent medicine man came to town and wishing to have samples of his medicines distrituted around to the houses, selected Willie DeLaine one of Manning's handsomest young colored dude-s for the work. The snow and ice was thick on the ground, but DeLaine didnot falter and did his wozk well. He gaitheredl up the sacks oontaiting the eSamplea and as some one remiaiked he looked like a clay-bank mule going to mill; he trudged around town frm house to house and when he finished. he notih ed his employer that the work wa~s done, and demanded seveny- five cents for the service rendered, but the man declined to pay that much and offerei DeLaine forty-five cents, which was scornfully re fused. He told the man he wanted sev enty-five or nothing and the man gave him the latter and left on the freight train. DeLaine is a plasterer and brick layer by trade, and when he found that he had worn out a pair of rubber shoes delivering medicine samples for nothing, he came to the conclusion that every man should stick to his trade, and in the future will give patent medicine men a wide berth. Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Rene wer is, unquestionably, the best preservaiive of the hair. It is also curative of dandruff, tet ter, and all scalp affections. John Richardson, colored, was commit ted to jail last Sunday for the killing of Oliver Scott, at Richardson's Elmwood plantation, near Remini, on last Friday. It seems from what we can gather that Richardson and Oliver had been to Remini where they had imbibed too freely in damnation drops procured from the blind tigers in that vicinity. Oliver was cut in the thigh and died in about three minutes. Trial Justice Richbourg was sent for Fri day night, and he went, getting to the place with much difficulty, owing to the verity of the weather and the roads being co.ered with ice. He held the inquest and examined eight witnesses. The jury was composed of one white man and eleven colored. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental killing. Justice Richbourg cor mitted the prisoner to jail for a further in vestigation by the grand jury. This is the second killing that has taken place in the vicinity within the past few months and we hear the cause is attributable to the il ilicit whiskey selling. Information has been brought to Manning that there are at least four r-hiskey dens about Remini, and fights are of frequent occurrence. Tha, place should be looked after by the author ities. It will not do to watch the towns and let the cross road stores and railroad stations deal out the pios onous stuff with impunity. If it is a fact that blind tigers exist in that section of the county they should be broken up and the proprietors of these dens pun ished with the full extent of the law. We know the people living in and around Remini, and if there is such a thing as a blind tiger it must be very obnoxious to them and they would gladly assist the State's officers in ridding the community of the nuisance.

COUNCIL OF W03ILN The Second Triennial of the Or ganization Now On DIVIDING TIME, THEY, WITH CONGRESS The Most Distinguishod Gathoring of We men, Famoused in the DIfferent De partments of Woman's Work, in the World. WASBrGTO, February 19.-The see ond triennial of the National Council of Women of the United States, to give the full title, is on, and for two weeks will divide with congress interest in Washington affairs. It is safe to say that never before was there such an enthusiastic assemblage of women as that at Metzerott Musk hall at 10 o'clock yesterday when the formal opening occurred. When Mrs. Mary Wright Sewall, of Indianapolis, the president of the national coundil, rap ped for order from the stage at one end of the hall, she looked down upon a representative gathering of women from every section of the country and a few from other countries, while the galleries above were crowded with an appreciative audience-male and fe male-apparently thoroughly in sym pathy with the objects of the meeting. The gathering was nott only represen tative from a geographical standpoint, but from those of appearance and sphere. Dress reformers and women in gowns of the modest sat side by side, while here and there could be seen quaint bonnets of the quakeress. Ac knowledge1 leaders of society, noble women in the European meaning of the term. and several noted for wealth in their own right or that of their hus bands. were there on an equal footing with delegates from the ranks of those who work for their daily bread. All ages were likewise in evidence, varying from the more than three score and ten of M1iss Susan B. Anthony, president of the National Woman's Suffrage associ ation. to the nineteen years of Miss Augusta Howard. president of the Georgia auxiliary of Miss Anthony's organization. It was truly a national council of women. Conspicuous Ladies Present. Conspicuous in the gathering, by rea son of their prominence in woman's work, were the Countess of Aberdeen, president of the International Council of Women, and best known in America through her Irish exhibit at the World's Fair; Lady Henry Somerset; Miss Fran cis E. Willard, of Illinois, president of the National Woman's Christian Tem perance Wnion; Mrs. Russell Sage, of New York; Mrs. Elizabeth B.

The opening session was merely formal. It began with prayer and this was followed by the introduction of presidents and delegates of organiza tions forming the national council. The presentation of greetings from the National Council of Women of Canada and the greetings by fraternal dele gates from organizations not in the order came next on the program and the session concluded with the trien nial address of President Mary Wright Sewall. ______ ANOTHER STRIKE IN NEW YORK.

MACOS, Ga., February 19.- Fourteen members of the Lottie Troubadoirs were arraigded in the Recorder's court here yesterday on a charge of diso.rder ly conduct and shooting. The trouble grew out of a dispute here last Wednes day with a young man named Mans field, who represented the transfer com pany that took baggage to and from the theatre. Mansfild said the Trouba doirs took the horses and led them off, fired at him and his companion. and driver and in other ways made night hideous. A different state of affiars developed in the hearing of the case as the evidence showed that the trouble w-1s brought about by Mansfield and a companion named Nix. It was shown that Nix did all the shooting and also struck manager Cooney of the company and was in general the only rioter present. The recorder discharged the Troubadours. fined Nix $30 or 60 days prison and also discharged Mansfild. The grand jury on Thursday made indictments against ten members of the company for riot and shooting at another. This case will probably be dismissed. MANY WANT BACK THEIR JOBS.

Untold Agonies Wery Limb Ached With Muscu lar Rheumatism A Perfect Oure by Hood's Sarsa parlila. The cause of rheumatism is lactic acid in the blood, which acoumulates in the joints, and gives the victim such dreadful pains and aches. Hood's Sar saparilla neutralizes the acid, purifles the blood and thus cures rheumatism. "Five years ago I had my first attack of lumbago or muscular rheumatism. I was in bed two weeks. I had a good physician but he did not do me any good. A friend recom mended Hood's Sarsaparilla and I sent for a bot tle. At that time I ached in every limb, especially In my back and hip. I felt as though I had a 'fever and for a INE. Tomnas S. Palmew f ew hours at Abbevlle, S. C. night it was im. possible to sleep. Isuffered untold agonies. Constipation was not the least of my troubles. I commenced to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and felt a decided change In three days. I was able to get out of bed Hood's w Cures and sit at the fire In course of a week. I can recommend it as tho best remedy for Indigestion and dyspepsia I ever tried." T. S. PAL=, Abbevile, S. C.
