THE MANNING TIMES., Wednesday, May S, 1895. Money is What We Need. Cash is the thing that will turn the wheel when everything. else fails. Cash is the thing that will make goods cheap when high prices are asked for them. Cash is the thing that everybody should have if they would like to prosper., and the way to get cash is to get down and work for it. A nice line shirting prints only 4c. per yard, worth 5c. - A beautiful line spring cashmeres, 36 inches wide, only 14e. per yard, worth 25c. .A beautiful line percals. 36 inches wide, only loc. Colors guaranteed. When you want cheap and durable straw hats, here is the place to get them. Remember that we carry a large stock of farmers' tobacco, and sell very, very close. Old Tray at 25c. per lb andl "It's Good" at 35c. per lb. has no rival in the market. A bargain in molasses. When I say a bargain I mean a first-class ar ticle at a very low price. A beauti ful) clear New Orleans molasses at only 30c. per gallon. Better prices on larger quantities. Yours truly, W. E. JENKINSON. -Mr. H. B. Tindal of Greenville is in Clarendon on a visit. -W. W.

He was a Confederate soldier and was a member of Company IL Twenty-Sixth South Carolina Volunteers.

Last Saturday afternoon a fire broke out on the plantation of M1r. Jack W. iolladay, who lives about three miles from Manning. His barn and other outbuildings were Nn tirely consumed, together with about 150 bushels corn, 10 bushels pease and 350 pounds of fodder, besides a lot of farming implements. The origin of the fire is sup posed to be the work of an incendiary. There was no insurance. About t xo y- ars ago Mr. Holladay was the victim of an in cendiary fire, and lost his dwelling and barn. Full concaved razors exchanged for any good brand of old heavy razors at A. 1. Galloway's barber shop. The examination in behalf of the ion J. L.

The whole of Monday was taken up in the taking of testimony, and up to 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. While we can not see how the contestant has any grounds what ever for his contest as far as this county is concerned, yet we think the failure of some of the witnesses who were summoned to come displayed a lack of proper interest. and the only way we can account for it is that they knew that the election in this county was fair and right, and they look upon the contest as an absurdity. Never theless, they did not do their duty. They should have come and testified. As the strength of a building depends upon the solidify of its foundation, so health depends upon the condition of the blood. To expel impurities and cause the vital fluid to be vigorous and life-giving Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the most powerful and effective medicine in use. THEY'VE RAIED THE BLACK FLAG. Rally White Men - Registration Un constitutional. Says (off. Special to The Manning Times. CoLUMBIA, S. C., May 8, 1:40 p. m. Judge Goff to-day decides that he has full jurisdiction in the registra tion cases as a federal question, but finds no authority for change of cer tificates by change of residence, as its harrassing, and he cannot understand why the books were closed months before the election. He says that the outrage is stupendous where citizens not registering in 182, then qualified. were being debarred in the light of all objections, the removing days making no difference. The effect of the system is to fearfully impede the right of suffrage and to stab to death the rights and immunities granted citizens. He holds it his duty to interfere, and granted the order in the Mills case, restraining supervisors in any of their acts. LATER.-Judge Simonton, in an nouncing the opinion, holds that the dispensary case is not a suit against the State, as the questions in volved are federal. The dispen sary law encourages the use of liquor, he holds, but says that so far as the law forbids citizens to import liquor for their own use it is dis criminating against the production of other States, and, therefore, the in junction issued in the Charleston case. LATER.-The contempt cases were dismissed and the Newberry case discharged. Ayer's Pills are recommended by leading physicians and druggists as the most prompt and efficient remedy .for bilicus ness, nausea, costivyen ess, indigestion, sluggishness of the liver, jaundice, and sick headache ;also, to relieve colds, feveis, neuralgia and rheumatism.

They elected eight new members. It is to be regretted that Col. Hi. L. Benbow announced his in ability to attend the reunion of survivors at Hoston. Mr. T. H. Harvin was selected to take the place of Col. Benbow on the committee. .\r. Moses Levi also stated at lie would bc unable to go, but the camp insi.,ted on his going, which we trust he will do. The camp discussed the route to Texas, and finally decided that the time and~ place to aisemible be left to the discretion of Commander C. S. Land. The delegates were in-tructed to till all vacancies in the dlegtion. A special imeeting of the camp is ordered to be held at Manning on the first Monday in August, at 11 o'clock, for the special pur pose to moify and enlarge the Confeder ate pension of this State for its ex-soldliers, at the approaching term of the Legislature of our State. This is a worthy subject that should reqnire the gravest attention of our law-makers, as the band is few and will soon pass off the stage of life, and we think that outh Caroina should enact such laws that will sustain her disabled and suffering soldiers in the evening of their lives, and we trust that every confederate soldier will meet this camp on the appointed time. We feel sure there will he some plans formulated here lookinu to a concert of ac ti-a wihi the other counties of our State to memorialize our legislature for a better and more worthy pension to be given to her sol diers who dlii their duty when South Caro lina called fir aid.

C., the 8th and 9th April, 1865, grew upon me. It was my earnest wish to thank him for his kindness and protection that memorble night. So far I had faild in every effort. But still hoping, I got out all of my letters received from various sources aind again read them over more carefully than before Reading Lient. Col. Place's. of Cohoes. N. Y., and dated June 17th, 1886, the sentence "The only information I can give you regarding Lieutenant Waterman is that he is a gradu ate of 'Howard's Scientific School,' Cam bridge, Mas-." I had read this over several tmes befcie, but it now impressed me, and I at once communicated with the "Faculty of Howard Scientific Schools." Cambridge, Mass., making inquiry of tht m concerning my friend Waterman. I did look with much interest to their reply. It came promptly: "Harvard University Lawrence Scientific School. Can.b -'g., Mass., My 22, 1886. Rev. and dear sir: Mr. Hf. L. Waterman graduated from this school in 1864 He is from Vacaville, Cai I have no further information concerning him. I am compiling a record of our grad nates and I may find out something of the whereabouts of Mr. Waterman in which case I will write yon. Truly, W. S. CH.PLIN, Dean." Of course I wrote at once to the post master of that distant town. This was the reply: "The Vacaville Real Estate Ageney; A. J. Lyotn, G. N. Platt. Vacaville, Cal., June 7th, 1886. Rev, and dear sir: Y'burs of the 26th ult , to postmaster at Vacaville, California, to hand yesterday and was handed to mne to 'work up.' I find that Richard Waterman left here in 1864 or '5. Was in the .Union artny a lieutenant. and is now practicing law in Chicago. A line to him may put you on the right track. After interviewing one of the oldest inhab itants I fail to find any one who ever knew Harrison L. Waterman. Will keep this in mind, and if any clue comes to hand will write immediately. In haste. Yours truly, G. N. PLATrr." The return mail brought the following reply from Richard Waterman, law office, room 15. 94 Washington street, Chicago, June 28th, 1888: "Rev. Mr. W. W. Mood: My Dear Sir: Your favour of the 16.h inst. is at hand and contents noted. I have been absent from the city for several weeks and only reached home to-day. Ia reply will say, I do not know Lieuternant H. L. Wa terman and fear I cannot give you any clue to him. I am Lieutenant R. Watermnan, late of the Union army and lived near Vacaville, Salano County Cal., in 1864. and graduated from Harvard Law School, but 1 never heard of your friend. There was a Captain Waterman living near Fairfield, Cal., in 1864. T1hat was in the same county, and ten miles from Vacaville, and I am inclined to think he is the man, or his father of whom you speak. I would .hug gest that you write to E. R. Thurbee, Esq., Vacaville, Cal., and ask him about Harri son L. Waterman. He may give you a clue. He has lived there about twenty-five years, and is known and respected far and wide out there. Yours- truly, R. WVATERMAN." The following I received from Mr. E. U. Thurbee : Vacaville, Cal., July 3. 1886. Rev. and dear sir: Yours under date of' June 2 re::ived and contents noted. I have lived here nearly thirty years past and never have heard of Harrison L. Waterman. The Captain Waterman spoken of by Richard Waterman I have known for 30 years. lie died two years ago childless. TIhere was a man who kept a betel near Fairtield, Sadano county, Cal., called "Waterman Hotel." Who, or where he came fronm, I never kuew. A let ter to thc postmaster, Suicon City, Salano county. Cal., I think, will furnish the in formation as to who he wias. Other than the name of the Latel I never beard the name in the northern part of this county, wvhere I lived so long, excepting when Lieut. Rich ard waterman was living with me in 1864 and 1805. Shoul I att any time hear it spoken of I wil' make iniquiries and report to you. Hoping your ear-nest search will be rewarded, I remain, Yours truly, E IR. TliU iUEE" I must confess that I looked with much impatience for a reply to mine addressed to the postmaster of Suieon City. Salano conty, Cal. I had but li~tle hope of' se curing any information from this sonrce. I wrote very fully. how'ever, having re ceived ptromupt replies to every letter hat one-Capttain Patrick McGuire of the po lie foice t f New York city. I was not pre pared for the disappointment which in this instance awaited me. My [atience was exhausted. I nev'er heard frttm myr letter. So I had faile~d in every direction I had written to fintd my' friend. In the meantime I was in aittendance upon the district confetence in Camiden-the guest of Mr. G. G. Youn. ad in his speaking of "Shuman's" anti "Potter's' raids through the town in 18t5 I was an iinter esting listener. W~ith othei rent crks of his said : "The wa r virtu 'lyiended in sight, almost, of Governor Mlanning'" iesidence neir the Saiitee river .several days after Gen. Lece's surrender." "Where can I se cure thiese. fact- ?" "'His soinin-law will call to see you Mond-my." dnt folly ex pectng to return honi an that day with my friend the Rev. Jam.:s T. Ktl-o. I asked for pen and p -per, and at once ad dressed a fewv lines to ex-tiovernor John L. .Manning. In a short tin:a he reptlied that he wouldi give ine with pleasure all the informiation he couid ; th-it the facts of P~otter's raid were the history of South Carolina att that time, and that measures should be taken to prleserve themti. The Governor said, mioreover, thit ''le was5 quite comp~laining." Several mtonths elpsed, and not hearing fronm this vener able gentleman, I concluded to go iad interview him. Our h'aeksville Letter. Packsville. S. C., May 7,1895 Editor The Manning Tows: -Some un thoughted lpersins have opened the door of experience tr the peoe of South Carolina to enter. Will w- b,- so silly as to d.ire pass the thr sho:.l of t hat fatl entrance ? Surely not. If we sio. our d ,oom is j-:.t ahead---not vr tar in the future at ti-at. It is idle to t:uk about a factional conttiti tion. The sooner we disuiss that delusiou from our mind, the better will it be for al concerned. I don't care who compose o:ir contemplated constitutional - convention, since they are patriotic white men and are true to South Carolina. But sir, I far quite too much temper, passion, and p .rti sanism permeates the minds and hearts of our white citizens-for many on either so of our Democratic house-to have the ron fidence which I prondly carry n b.t"b for the race to which I win.

Let contidence be om:1 watchword, and political union our prou.i motto, and then we can bid deliance t both our inside and outside foes. Nothing short of a united people can possibly save us from the vengeance of a spirit brought hither from the walls of hell. But I have written quite enough about our anhapp surroundings. Let me point you to Pine wood and its improvements. This little growing and thriving village is in Claren don county, South Carolina. It has one doctor, six stores, two cotton gins, two grist mills, two blacksmith shops, a Methodist church, two restaurants, two boarling houses, and a bicycle park in contempla tion. The populition is about two hue dred and fifty. Ilodge's Corner is another little place worthy of noti. It has one store, one gin house, one cotton-se- 1 scale and one dwelling house. Messrs. P. B. Hodge and W alter Ballard reside there. and are worthy and enterprising young men. In time to come !!o Ige's Corner may be as prosperous and important as any other growing business village in our State. ~AWNiY. The Y. P. C.'A. Was c.andneted last Sunday afternoon by Capt. D. J.
