"There oft are heard the notes of infant. oe,-The short, thick sob, loud scream, and shriller squall." A squall struck the home of Mr. Joseph Sprott, Jr., thi~s morn pg before daylight, and broke up the peaceful slumibers of the members of the household. The weather bureau service still has its squall signals up, and they are ,,nw pointing to a North-easterly direction. A curiosity was discoveredon the pIama tion of Mr- W. T. Toucbberry. His corn house has been infested with rats, and they destroyed a lot of his corn. A few days ago there'appeared on his place two weasel like animals which went to work killing out the rats. It is supposed these animals are Ferrets, but where they came from is a mystery. Their arrival on Mr. Touchber ry's place at this time is a great benefit to him and we hope he will endeavor to tame them so that his neighbors can also get the benefit of their work.

He shoved us the manufactured goods of the Darlington tobacco works and it is without a doubt as fine as we ever saw. The tobacco manu factured by this concern was grown largely in the Salem section of this county an d some of it was grows in the adjoining counties. The Colonel is a firm believer in the tobacco growing qualities of our lands and l e says that as fine tobacco can be, and has been grown in Clarendon as ever grew in North Carolina or Virginia.

Fifteen loaded ears were burned, among them being one containing a large tank filled with naptha. This tank was bursted. and the naptha ran several hun 'dred yards in a ditch. A trainman going back to ascertain the cause of the wreck ignited the- naptha from the lantern and a terrible fire resulted. Engineer Jaeger and Sectionmaster McInnis, while going back on top of the cars in the effort to un couple them, found themselves surrounded by tire. The former jumped to the left through the nmes and escaped with slight bruises of the hands and face.

The Times has received a prospectus of a work being issured by the well-known house of Lucas Jr Riehardson Co., of Char leston, the object of which is to thoroughly advertise South Carolina's commercial and manufacturing resources, and build up and extend the trade of her business men. Such works have made the West~and South west en States what they are, and as claimed in the prospectus of this book, millions have been the invested and hundreds of millions have been the fruit.

They propose to illustrate it handsomely with viws of the different towns and cities. their markets and busines4 centres, poss ible water.power, and the like.

PANOLA, April 1G.-As there seems to be no news collector from this sec tion I thought I would give you a few dots occasionally. Our farmers through this section are nearer up with their work than those in other parts that I have seen. All of them are about through planting corn and are now putting in what cotton they intend to plant. The acreage is small in comparison with the last few years. They realize that there is nothing in it, and are planting more corn and potatoes and such things as they can live on, which I think is wise. We are having some dry, windy weather now, and some of the older farmers think we are go ing to have a long dry spell and that cotton will have a hard time getting its nose out of the ground. The Hampton Light Dragoons will be inspected on the 18th instant, and it will be the company's fi:-st appear ance under its new officers, but that will not make any difference as they are all ex-cadets. When it is too wet to work on the farm we go fishing, but we have done nothing extra at that this sea son: only a few white shad and some flat fish. The largest one caught this year was a carp out of Scott's lake by Messrs. J. A. Way and Percy Harvin. It was two feet ten inches long and about nine inches in diame ter and weighed about twenty-five pounds. It had three quarts of roes. One like that is enough for one time. The swamp bridges at Silver will be let out next Monday. Time out. S. No small objection which the young folks bad to the old-time spring-medicines was their nauseousness.

OFFICE OF ToWN CoUcNCIL, Manning, April 12, 1895.f ELECTION FoR FIVE PERsoNs To SERVE oN BOARD OF HEATH IN THE TowN oF' MANNING. Whereas, at the regular session of 1894, of the South Carolina Legisla ture and approved by the Governor January 5th, 1895, an act was passed providing for an election to be held in each city, town, and village of the State, within six months after the passage of said act, for a board of health, to be composed of five per sons, elected by the free-holders of each city, town, and village, said election to be ordered held by the Mayor or Intendants of the cities, towns, and villages aforesaid; and said board to be elected (no one of which board must be connected with city or town council) shall be com posed of one or more reputable phy sicians, of not less than two years' standing e'ach, in the practice of his profession; "that the Intendant of said city or town shall shall designate one-fifth of the members of the board to serve for one year, one-fifth to serve for two years, one fifth to serve for three years, one-fith to serve for four years, one-fifth to serve for five years, and thereafter one-fifth of the number of said board shall be ap pointed annually, to serve for five years; that the board shall be elected by districts to be fixed by city or town council, representing as nearly as may be, all parts of said city, town or village; members shall serve without compensation, and in case any one of them, after accepting and being duly elected, shall refuse to qualify and serve on board, he shall be subject to a fine of $25, to be im posed by town council."

Permanent Organization of the Walter boro and Western Rallroad Effected. Other Interesting News ' Throughout the State. CoLUMBIA, S. C., April 15.-The ques tion of passenger rates has always been a preplexing one to the railroad com mission. The latest phase of the ques tion has come up in the request of the receiver of the Blue Ridge railroad~ to Increase the rate on passengersi from 3K to 5 cents per mile. The commis mission at its last meeting deolined to make any special ceneession to the Blue Ridge road and now Receiver Beattie has renewed his request for an increase in his rate on the ground that. it is an absolute necessity in order that he might keep up the roadway of his line and offer proper facilities to the traveling public. In a letter. tp the commission, which has just been re eeived, Mr. Beattie says: The public demand the service and it is 6nl' a question with them whether they are Vil"ng to pay increased rtes.or do without the- ser vice. While in December and January I 414 manage, by very close working and withoqu any material-repairs to our roadway, to make expenses in two of the beat months of the year it does notfollow that I-can do so when busi ness grows lighter, and it is no reiult to 'run a railroad on bare operating expensas without laying away any surplus to provide for "the_ proper maintenance of the tracks or any con tingency that may arise incident to the rail road business. The commission will take up the mati ter at its next meeting, and to'say the least it is a perplexing question to, know what to do in such esses. Nothing has recently been heard upon the matter of a general reduction of passenger rates. Just at this time the question of a general revision of freight rates is the supreme consideration, and up to this time nothing has been done on the matter in hand. A petition has been received from citizens at Helena for a station at that place. The statio Is on the line of the Laurens railrosd. The commission will also consider the matter of changing the rate on hay. Commissioner Thomas was in the city. yesterday looking over matters. RAILROADS IN THE PALMETTC. The Walterboro &nd Western Organised. It Will Go to Denmark. CHALxsToK, S. C., April 16.-The permanent organization of the Walter boro and Western railroad company has been effected. The new company ownes the private road of Messrs Stokes and Rasor, and it Is said that steps will be taken st once to extend that line as far westward as Denmark. The charter of the new company was. obtained from the last legislature aod' there has been considerable talk about what the new concern proposed to do. The Walterboro gentlemen who were formerly sole proprietors of the line have associated with themselves some well known and progressive business men in this city, and the scope of oper ations of the company is to be greatly extended. Denmark is rapidly becom ing a railroad centre and the road will seek the excellent connections which are there offered it. The South Caro lina and Georgia, the South-Bound and the Manchester and Augusta roads all touch Denmark and- should they be followed by the Walterboro. and Wes tern that progressive little city would have as good railroad facilities as any city in the state.
