An animated scene presented itself last Saturday afternoon on the court house square, the occasion being the quarterly prize drill of the Manning Guards. On the conrt house portico was a great many beautiful ladies, and on the green was a number of war veterans and other citizens besides a lot of children whose parents sant them out to encourage the boys. A little after four o'clock the rattle of the drum calling the Guards to assemble at their armory was heard, and shortly after they made their appearance. Every man's face indicated a desire to captilre the beau tiful prize, and as they marched into the square the eyes of the ladies glistened with admiration. No doubt the boys appreci ated the admiring glances of the ladies and each fellow promised himself to do his very best. Capt. Davis put the boys tbrough a drill in the field movements before beginning the contest, and the improvement was easi ly marked. They executed each command with the precision of trained soldiers, and some of the wheels were perfect, and when the company came marching up to the front of the court house at a company front the line was perfectly straight and each foot struck the ground with machine-like precisicn, The Captain halted the compa ny in tront of the court house and put them "in place rest." After a few minutes he announced that Lieutenants Davis, Rid gill, and Kelly would act as judges. The men were then numbered from one to thir ty and the contest entered into, with the following result: First round Lowder, Francis, Stokes, Timmons, Gardner, J. F. Bradham, John son, and Brunson were retired. Second round, H. Bradhatn, Abe Rawlin son, Geo. Bradham, McLeod, Jones, and J. Rawlinson, fell to the rear. Third round, Chas. Ridgill, Jayroe, Ma honey, J. Johnson, and Smith joined their unfortunate comrades. The contest by this time was exciting and the remaining boys seemed to realize that a hard struggle was before them. On they went with the fourth round executing the commands, and it was difficult tor the spectators to discover mistakes, but af ter considerable time the watchful eyes of the judges announced that W. W. Johnson, Frank Rawlinson, Jordan, and Joe Lewis were no longer in it. Then came the fifth round which was still more exciting. These boys showed a determination to give the remaining ones shard fight, and they did it, too. Com mand after command was executed, but the seven boys now in line held on with a death-like grip. Finally, however, June and Willie Johnson misunderstood a com mand which caused them to throw up the sponge. The sixth round was a brilliant one. The four boys held the attention of the spectators for a long time, and many a veteran stood by with his eves beaming with delight as he watched the systematic movements of the boys. Finally Tom Tisdale was sent to condole with those that went before. In the seventh round Willie Davis, although having showed himself to be well drilled, thoughtlessly cast his eye towards i the court house postico, and in trying to return a smile of approval from one of the fair ones, let his gun slip, and away he went. Then came the last and most exciting round. Sergeant Lewis and Willie Young; both have reason to be proud of the way they executed the manuel of arims. Their movements were not only precise, but graceful, and it will not take them long to reckon themselves among the best drilled in the State; in fact, neither of them need be ashamed te enter a State contest. Capt. Davis knew what they could do and also knew how evenly they were matched, ac cordingly notified them to look out for catch commands, but his catch commands did not throw them. Finally he gave the command to "kneel firing," and it being by the numbers, Young, thinking it was without the numbers, made a mistake, and of course left his comrade Lewis the victor. Captain Davis then drew his men in line and invited Major Levi to present the prize. Maj. Levi stepped forward and aiBd to the boys that he had been requested to make the presentation but a few min utes before; that before presenting the prize he desired to compliment the Man ning Guards upon the excellent showing exhibited; that they deserve great credit when it is considered the short time they have been drilling; they have shown that by strict attention and work, greater perfec tion can be accomplished in both the field iovements and the manual of arms. Con tinning he said, to make your company a success, co-operation is necessary. You must obey the commands of your officers and work with them. Sergeant Lewis, Ii have been assigned the pleasant task of 1 presenting you with this beautiful prize,i and I caution yon to look well to the laurels you have won to-day, as your comrades have the laudable ambition to take it from t you. It is no little honor to wear a badge I which is to distinguish you as the besti drilled man in this company, and you t should feel proud to be thus distinguished, espeCially so, after having gone through such a contest as you have to-day with so< many of your comrades so well drilled, and in pinning this emblem of your success upon your coat I admonish you_ that the duty of a soldier is not only to win a prize but to hold it after it is won. After the applause had subsided whichI followed Maj. Levi's remarks, Captain Davis announced that Sergeant Lewis had chal lenged the lieutenants to a contest for the same prize. Then the audience were again 4 treated to some more fine drilling. Lieu tenants Davis, Ridgill, and Kelly came to ( the front and took their places beside the ictorious Lewis, who, flushed with victory and with his prize pinned on his coat,] showed that he had no idea of letting his comrades take away his glory so freshly won, The commands of the Captain were given with rapidity, and they were executed with the same promptness, but like the former rounds somebody had to be dropped and this fell to the lot of Ridgill first, next went Kelly, and finally, after another round of well executed commands, Davis left Lewis standing as the invincible conqueror in the second prize drill of the Mianning Guards. Captain Davis can with grace feel proud of the achievements of the Manning Guards, and as he continues giving these public ex ibitions he can rest asured that he is not only bringing his men nearer to perfection but that he is giving the ladies and all of s an entertainment which is highly appre iated. MOR E SIGNS OF PROMISE. The Iron Trade Review Looks at the Fa ture With General Favor. CLEVELAND, 0., March 29.-The Iron Trade Review says: The wage advance in the Connenlsvine re gion and the eensequent advance in the price of coke. has been followed by several develop ments contributing to the support of the move ment toward a better basis. Within the week the producers of Standard Lake Superior Bes semer ores have acquainted their customers wih the new price basis, that is to be main tained on these ores in 1895-an advance of 15 cents a ton from the opening prices of 1894, and some ore has been sold In the past few days at the higher price. Simultaneously. as the result of a movement started before the beginning of the year, western bar iron manu facturers have got together to try to check some of the demoralizing practices that have made that end of the finished material market a weariness to all connected with it. Outside of the Iron trade moreover, the past fortnight has brought more signs of promise than have ome together in any equal period in months. The demand for money has increased and ex panding commercial loans have caused a yr dening in the rate. The first half of March shows an improvement in railroad earnings over the corresponding period in 1894-very slight, to be sure, but a reversal of the record of preceeding months, Doeett, the Great French Author. Dead. P,&uxs, April 5.-M. Charles Camille Doucett, the distinguished French dra matic author and member and perma nent secretary of the French academy was found dead in his bed at noon yes terday.

EDIrOR TE MAINNING TIims:-The coming constitutional convention is agitating the minds of the people rather more than anything else at present, and it seems that some of our leading men differ as to the best course to pursue. Some say, let's divide equally with the Conservatives; some say, divide with them accord ing to their number; some others say, don't allow the Antis any show ing, they are seeking to ruin the Re form movement. But what we want is a constitutional convention com posed of good, honest, intelligent white men, and let's come together and elect our best men irrespective of factional lines, for if we speak of dividing with the Conservatives we are certainly making a distinction and thereby drawing lines which would only be a temporaey compro mise at a critical juncture. So let's talk less about party lines and think more about what the convention can and should do for us. One of the most important things is to finally and forever settle the legislation and suffrage question; another, taking the public school law out of the Constitu tion and place it in the hands of the Legislature. We should bear in mind that the calling of the constitu tional convention is one plank in the Reform platform. Let's dispense with the office of coroner and make it the duty of the several trial justices to perform the duties of that office, as they now do to some extent with the same salaries they now receive. Let the clerk of court be vested with the power to issue a warrant for the arrest of the Sheriff should it be nec asSary. Now, in regard to compen 3ation for township and county com missioners, let the township commis 5ioners who do not form county boards receive twenty-five dollars per nnum each; let those forming a ounty board receive one hundred ollars each; let the chairman and :lerk of county boards receive one hundred and fifty dollars dach. Now, Mr. Editor, the above is a mere rough outline which we have sug gested and a plan which we believe would be an improvement upon our present county government and essen the burden of taxation to some xtent. We would like to see some :hing from some one's pen that is ore able than ours, We expect nch good to come of the coming :onstitutional convention. Snr TATmLR. Sandy Grove, March 22.

COLLECTOR WARREN ON CLEVELAND. He Firmly Believes That Grover Will Be the Next Presidential Nominee of the Democratic Party-Other South Carolina News. CEARLEsToX, S. C., April 2.-Mr. Winslow Warren, collector of the port of Boston, is in the city for a short visit. Mr. Warren is a staunch Cleveland democrat. He was appointed to offico under the present national administra tion, but the collectorship was ten dered him without solicitation on his part. He belongs in actual truth to that very small and always decreasing minority of office holders upon whom public duty is thrust-men who acept office without having sought it. in New England Mr. Warren's views upon the national questions are familiar to the newspaper reading public, but this being his first lengthy stay in the south, the people of this section are not so well informed regarding his po political opinions. In response to a re quest from a reporter he allowed him self be interviewed "I am,".said Mr. Warren, "a follower of and a firm believer in President Cleveland. "It is yet too early to talk positively of the next national campaign. but at this distance it looks very much as if Cleveland would be forced to become the next democratic presi dentlal nominee. I don't think he wants the I nomination, but I would not be surprised to see him thrust Into It. The moneyed men of the country have greater faith and confidence in him financially than In any other public man, and I would not be surprised to see such a uni- I versal demand for his renomination that the party would have to heed It and he himself bow to it. It It is not Cleveland. I cannot im agine who it will be. As a Massachusetts man I would, of course, put Russell forward. He is 1 perfectly sound upon the financial question, and this is going to be the issue in the next national campaign. The republicans will feel It too; their leading candidates are all more or less tainted financially. A man need not be an advocate of free silver to be unsound on the fi- I nancial issue. There are many smears that have been given by the silver stick. and, Tom Reed and other leading republicans have not escaped them. The masses of the people, how ever, will demand a candidate who has a clean I financial record." THE DEATH OF SAMUEL J. LEE. ii r South Carolina Negro Who Figured in the ij Politics of That State. t] CHAB.LESTON, S. C., April 2.-Samuel P . Lee, colored, who succeeded the no torious Franklin J. Moses as speaker of the house of representatives of this state in 1872, died suddenly here yesterday j of heart disease. Lee was born in Ab beville county and was a relative of General Samuel McGowan. the distin guished confederate general and was his body servant and served with him throughout the confederate war, hav ing been wounded. He managed to secure an education and when the re construction period came, moved to Edgefield county, the home of all the fin de Seicle office-holders in this state and was elected to the g'eneral assem bly where he was chosen speaker when Frank Moses was elected governor. Lee was an able and experienced lawyer and after the overthrow of the reconstruction government in 1878 he escaped the fate of indictment that be fell most of the office-holders of that period and settled in Charleston, where he secured something of a practice * and the respect and good will of his white legal brethren. He was the only olored brigadier general in the United States, having commanded the first brigade of colored troops of this state 2 after it was reorganized under the emocratic administration of the state. e will be buried with military honors ( today. ,_____c_ THE BOYS MAY GO FREE y teve ad Mitch Boward.
