Manning Guards Irize Drill.
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,

Tattler's Suggestions.
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.

Current News For the Week
Throughout the State.
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.
