Editor The Manning Times:-A suspicious character was arrested here to-day and the suspicions were afterwards confirmed, and the party is in limbo awaiting the arrival of the sheriff of Sumter. The man was a negro, who offered us a gne mule for the sum of forty dollars, and the small price asked for the animal was what opened our eyes, but after some consideration we decided that the best place for tha one who had arouzed our suspicion, was in the guard house, so we lost no time in locking him up, In less than three hours later Mr. Dyson came up hunting the mule. The darker and mule are now both safe and when the Sumter au thorities arrive the darky will be turned over to them. If there are any more cheap mules up your way just let an ugly nigger ride them down here, we are prepared to buy such mules and niggera too. When the arrest of this mule thief was attempted be offered such re sistance that we thought he would have to be shot before he would sub mit.

A What is it,' Editor The Manning Times:-You asked Tarant to explain his conuL. drum published in the Times. If you will publish Senator Irby's letter you have it in a nutshell. The ma jority of the readers of the Times are Reformers, sitting erect in the saddle and riding the middle of theiroad that was blazed out in 1890 by the March convention, the action of which body had our approval, and we are happy to say are yet loyal to the principles as enunciated by same. We are tak ing little or no compound mugwump syrup in our tea this season; we would much prefer plain reform 'lasses, the kind that's squeezed and bilt at our Joshua's mill, who will most assuredly lead the Reformers safely across the political Jordan without getting their .feet wet. In exorable covetousness on the part of the princes gave to Israel's great leader and deliverer multiplied and vexatious troubles insomuch that it caused him to err, thereby forfeiting the leadeiship that devolved upon another and so be it now. Our Joshua has been across the river spy ing out the country, on returning a few days since brought back some fine grapes that he promises to let us see and taste this summer, and I as sure you, Mr. Editor, if they prove to be as fine and sweet as represented, all the compound mugwump edicts with coo'na preamble and resolutione can't prevent us from going wher. they grow, you can bank on it. Mr Editor, we have some grape connois seurs over here and we don't propose' to eat sour ones that will put the teeth on edge as long as raisins are accessible, but should tbe worst come we will take on our plate any time baked 'possum to cold 'coon stew. Mr. Editor, wve fellows over here have a righteous abhorrence to new-faneled mixtures any wvay, We like things straight, even if it's good old corn, much less a 'possum and 'coon hash. Sardinia, S. 0., March 4, 1894. DON'Tr PUT IT OFF. The necessity of aspring medicine is un imersally admitted. This is the best time of ycar in which to purify the blood, to res tore the lost appettite. and to build up the entire system, as the body is now peculilarly susceptible to benefit from medicine. The great popularity attained by Hood's Sarsa parilla, owing to its real merit and its re markable success, has established it ats the very best medicine to take in the spring. It cures scrofula. salt rheum, and all humors billiousness, dyspepsia, headache, kidney and liver complaints, catarrb, and all affee tions caused or promnotedl by low state of the system or impure blood. Don't put it off, but take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. It will do you good. Honor Roll of M1anning ('ollegiate Inst! tute for Month or February.' Lulie Harvin, 97.6. Mary Snyder, 97. Lizzie Wells, 96.

WILL ESTABLISH CIURCH OF HIS OWN Career of a Young Minister Regarded a One of the Most Remarkable of the Century-A North Carolinian of a "Preacher Family." Nzw YORK, March 11.-For a long time past there have been dissensions among the members of the Twenty third street Baptist church, due to the objection of the more conservative members of the congregation to the "sensational" character of the sermons I preached during the last five years by the pastor. Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr. Yesterday morning Mr. Dixon an nounced his determination to sever his connection with the church and found a new one on a broad and popular plat form, and instead of speaking on "Spec tacle versus Sensation," in reply to "an old fashioned clergyman," as an nounced, Mr. Dixon read his resigna tion to his congregation, many portions of which were loudly applauded by the friends of the retiring pastor. In referring briefly to the circum stances which prompted his resigna tion, Mr. Dixon said: "My action is not one of sudden impulse and has no reference to things that have happened within a year. I determined upon It one year ago, but found it impossible to carry out my wish because the church was then encumbered with financial debt. I feel now relieved from that obligation of delay. The utmost good will prevails between myself and the oficials and trustees of the church. I shall establish a new church. There will be only one creed in it; be lief in the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe it to be a more important part of my life work to lift many men out of the ditch than to spend my time in making a few men Baptists." Mr. Dixon's resignation takes effect May 1st. Mr. Dixon, who is only .0 years old, was born in North Carolina and is the son of a clergyman. It is said he was elected a member of the legislature of North Carolina before he was 20 years of age. He won five gold medals of merit at Wake Forest college and after ward took a post graduate course at the Johns Hopkins college in Balti more. He was admitted to the bar, but believing it to be his duty to preach the gospel, he becama a minister. His first pastorates were at Raleigh and Goldsboro, N. C. Mr. Dixon came to New York nearly seven years ago. In 1892 he preached a number of sermons denouncing In gersoll. He recently defended Thomas C. Platt from the pulpit against the at tacks of Rev.
