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

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.

Last Saturday afternoon a fire broke out
on the plantation of M1r. Jack W. iolladay,

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

The examination in behalf of the ion
J. L. McLanrin in the matter of contesting
his seat was started here last Monday,
Mr. P. B. Mouzon acting as notary and
Rhame & Davis as attorneys for contestee
and it. A. Stewart for contestant Wilson.
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.

Judge Goff to-day decides that he
has full jurisdiction in the registra

finds no authority for change of cer

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.

Veterans' Meeting.
The Harry Benbiow Camp of Confederate
survivors met last Monday in the McLe-od
hall. (C. S. Land, commander; A. J. Rich
bourg, temporary secretary.) 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

Recollections of Potter's Raid.
BY REV. W. W. BLOOD.
The desire to find Lieutenant Waterman
of General Potter's army which raided
through Manning, S. 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.

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. I w :
not write one word which wonid i: -
chief. Yin know I won!1 rot coiaa:: s -
gre:t a political criinc. We shon:.- .0-c
up to the dangers which smiround! u1-. a: I
have an eve Most specialy to on . (i, ,;
who live outside of our Stai-. 'lwy-, ..e
the ones we have to dread the tost ! he -
will take every advantage of our di :,.,
and unnatur. I feelings towards each .: -r
for the mean and dirty liunrpse of ru I
us and our good old conimonwealth. T:
are low down enough to make South o
lina the black district of these U:n. d
States of iAnierica. That is what t!w' or.
after in my opinion. Tie men who wood
side with our outside eneiti'-s are not a
whit better than they are. They are birds
of the same feather. 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.

For Tourists.
- For Heavy-weight Riders.
H Model 36 is an ideal touring machine, capable
Q of carrying heavy luggage, and guaranteed to stand
of up under the most severe usage. The tourist may coast
in perfect safety, for the band brake is the most effective
O brake ever applied,to a bicycle. To the class of conserva
tive riders and men of heavy weight, this machine will
particularly commend itself for the additional comfort and
feeling of absolute safety which it ensures.
Built late in the season of 1894, and thoroughly
up-to-date in equipment.
Many riders prefer a
large front wheel, for
Nodel36 a the added comfort and
ease of steering it affords. For these we have made the
Model 36 with 30-inch steering wheel, and call it Model 36a. Steel rims only.
We have only a few of these Special Touring Wheels,
and prompt ordering is therefore advisable. They are
