Now, do not firget, the fete will be a brilliant one, and will cone oil next Wednesday evening. Those who have received the little bags can fill them chock full without giving any offence.

At the last meeting of the board of trustees of the Clemson Agricultural Col. lege I was requested to n)tify the farners at large of the willingness of the board tc co-operate with them in the work of hol ing f.amers' institutes, at least one in each congressional district. The trustees will send professors of the college and, whenever possible, expert farmers, to talk upon such subjects as may be of special interest to the farmers in whose neighborhood the institute may be held. To make such institutes profitable it will be necessary for the fiarmers to at tend and join in discussions that may from time to time arise. Such an institute should be an agricul tural school for the ordinary farmer, and should be free from all red tape or form. ality. To farmers interested in tobacco raising I shall ende~avor to get a saccessful tobacec grower to talk on that subject. To those interested in dairying and cheese-making I shall try to secure for themi Proiessoi Hart or some other expert dairynian. In short, where farmers desire an institute I shall be pleased to co-operate with them in making it meet as far as possible their special needs. A we shall be able to hold not mnor< than institute in each congressional dis trict I shall be pleased to have letters fion farmers suggesting the proper time an' place for holding the same.

Eiironm TLE MANxiNG TrI:s:-As diar rhea seems to be doing much mischief to health jut at this time perhaps a word from ime may not be ont of place for those of my friends who have confidence in me and wvxo take your most excellent and well edited O per. It is a disease not to be trifled with by the use r active medicines. When I was in active practice as a physi cian, Im y rule was first to try to put a stop to it with astringents, opiates, and soothing renielies. A teaspoonful of paragoric with one of gumu-arabic in a half-tumbler of hot water given to an adult three times a day ought to enre mot any ease in two or three day tiwe, 1.rovided nothing but cooked water be used as a drink w'lhen sneh is dF sired by the sick one. Every tea poonful of paragorie ought to have one griix of opi:ulu in it, and one grain of opiumix is a dose for a grown person. Gumu-arabic is very harmless and may be given freely and often. Flaxseed tea is also a harmless and soothing remedy. Parched rice with hot water poured on it and allowed to cool is also very soothing indeed. I have used alum, also--just a mere pinch on an empty stomach, not more than once or twice dur ing the progress of the disease. A half dozen cloves chewed daring the day is also good: clove tea may he used if preferred. I have never had any one to die in my hands with diarrhea, and not a half dozen with other diseases. It is well known that I have practiced medicine for over thirty years (not for money) in this county when called on as a matter of duty to the poor and any others. I shall continue to do so to the best of my learning from such nen as Dixon, Ged dings, and other great medical lights of the past. Their remedies are quite good enough for me. My success is entirely due to flair teachings. Though they are dead anud gene, I tun to themx for help wvhenxever I get sic. lint just one word :ore on the disease I am writing about. No one who has it ought to be allowed to drink cold, un cooked water, until they have been cured over a week. I have known just one drink of cold water to provo fatal in a very few hours. It see'ms to have precisely the effect of active medicines. They both pro duce inflammation of the bowels and stom ach. Active medicines gnarde 1 with astrin g, nts and opiates may not prove fatal nec essaiillh. But were it not for the astrin gents aid Opiates what would have been the result In conclusion, I would say, that gunl arabie and tlaxseel tea ought to be made tresh, and not used when they have soured. Boiled mik should lie given freely. Your friend and fellow-citizen, Joux L. E.ASTERLING. Fort Hill, Clarendon County, S. C., June 17, 1895. WAGlNGi WAR AGAINST SATAN. The enemies of satan have planted their artillery on both ends of Manning and a contintuous bombardment is going on. Rev. T. G. Herbert, assisted by able lieu tenants, is plunging, the rammer at the Methodist fort, and Rievs. 0. Gough and Walter E. Wilkins are pulling the lanya d at the Baptist fort. The guns are well manned, and satan's army must sooner or later succumb. Every day additional troops are enlisting under the white ban ners of religion, and as this army grows larger and stronger the army of satan grows smaller and weaker. The recruiting officers at both the Baptist and Methodist fortresses are offering great inducements for recruits, and everybody should go out to learn the dangers that surround them if satan's army is allowed to make further in road, and is not driven away.

HORTON, BURGESS & CO., Manningr S. C. STATEMENT OF MR. BROOKS In Regard to the-Caning of the Hon. Charles Sumner in 1856. Columbia Evening N ws. The following is the original statement of the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, giving an account of the flogging administered by him to Charles Sumner. It recalls a stormy time, wherein event followed event in swift succession. In personal life Mr. Brooks was fearless ly brave anid upright, possessing qnalities that to this day render his n:E'iory lear to the community in which he lived. The charge circulated by North-rn papers 1m pngning his courage was who!y false. There never was a braver man Ite might have erred in judgment. But that was all. He was a Lair and ine type of th, old-time Southern gentleman. with all the chival rons qualities which that elder time began, and of which it fuir ished so many bril lant iliustrations. But with the writer of these linas all the interest centers in the peaceful, quiet aonl brooding solemnity of Leaside. where it stands in its desolation to-day overlooking two verdatit and fertile valleys, set in a frame-werk of hills and calling to life a thousand slumbering echoes from other years--desolate now, but beauteous otce. with the fine faces of lovely women, whose peers were not found in all the land, atd wh: se presence lent a glamor to the place which it is all rifled of since. We are straying upon dangerous ground. for the memories of Ninety-Six are so rich and full that the heart will linger too long upon them. But not to enter a land where every hill has its history and every vale its legend, without leisure to dwell there. The statement of Mr. Brooks is candid, and follows the line of strict truth : "In the Senate of the United States on the 19th and 20th of May Mr. Sumner of Massachusetts delivered a speech in which he reflected injuriously upon the State of South Carolina, and was particularly of fensive to Senator Butler, who is my rela tive. I preferred to see the published speech, andl saw it for the first time on Wednesday morning. "The ol.jection ible passages are to be found on the fifth, twenty-ninth ar.d thir tieth pages of Mr. Sumner's speech, which I have marked with a pen, and are as fol lows: 'But before entering upon the argn iment, etc.' "As soon as I had road the speech I felt it my duty to inflict some return for the insult to my State and relative. "On Wednesday I took a seat in the capitol grounds expecting Mr. Sumner to pas=. While going lown the lower steps of the capitol I met Mr. Edmnndson c-f Virginia, who is my personal friend, and asked him to walk with me to the seat. I then informed him that it was my pur pose to see Mr. Sumner, and that, as he m-glt be accompanied by several triends, I desired him to remain with me as a wit n 'ss and for nothing else. I also enjoined upoU him on no account to interfere. "Mr. Sumner did not pass while we were so seated, though we remained until half past twelve o'clock. My colleague, Mr. Keitt, joined us a few moments before we returned to the House, and so did Senator Johnson of Arkansas. Neither one of them was informed of my purpose during that day. "During the night of Wednesday, and about ten o'clock, I informed my colleague, Mr. Keitt, and Mr. Orr of my purpose. The next morning at eleven o'clock I took my position at the porter's lodge to inter cept Mr. Sumner. I again waited until half-past twelve o'clock-the hour at which both houses of Congress meet. "While in the porter's lodge Mr. E 1 mundson-on his.way to the capitol-saw me and came in of his own accord. He and I went to the house together. Mr. Keitt went that morning to Baltimore. "Being twice disappointed, I determined to keep my eye on Mr. Sumner, and know ing that the Senate would adjourn at an early hour, I went to the Senate and stood without the bar until it did adjourn. "Mr. Sumner continued within the hall, though he did not all the time retain his set, He had upon his desk a large number of his speech, and was-when not interrupted-emidoyed in franking them. Several ladies continued in the ball-some on the floor and some in the gallery. "I waited until the last lady left and then approached Mr. Sumner in front and aid: 'Mr. Sumner, I have read your last speech with care and its much impartiality as is possible under the circumstances. and I feel it my duty to say that you have libeled my State and slandered my kins man, who is aged and absent, and I have come to punish you for it.' "As I uttered the word 'punish' Mr. Sumner offered to rise, and when about half erect I struck him a slight blow with the smaller end of my cane. He then arose fully erect and endeavored to make battle. I was then compelled to strike him harder than I had intended. About the fifth blow he ceased to resist, and I mod. erated my blows. "I continued to strike Mr. Suner until e fell, when I ceased. I-did not strike Mr. Sumner after he had fallen. The cane used by me was an ordinary walking-stick, male of gntta-percha and hollow. I used it because it was light and elastic, and be cause I fancied it would not break. "The cane had been presented to me by a friend full three months past. It had ai thin gold head, and was net loaded or even heavy. Mr. Sumner wa-s never struck with the larger end of the cane. "When Mr. Crittenden took hol of me and said something like "don't kill him." I replied that I had no wish to injure him severely, but only to flog him. "I went to the Senate alone: asked no one to go or to be with me. Indeed, no one knew of my purpose to assail Mr. Sumner in the Senate, nor would I have done so bad it not become manifest that he would remain in the seat to a very late hour. "The three gentlemen who alone knew of my purpose were not present wvhen the attack was made. Neither Mr. Ocr nor Mr. Ednundson were presont at any time of the affray to my knowledge'. Mr. Keitt came up when it was about half over. "I dleem it proper to add that the assault upon Mr. Sumner was not because of his political principles. bat because of the in suIting languago used in reference to my Stat e and absent relative.

C., June 15.-The State's special correspondent accompanying the Abbeville Rifles, ordered to the scene by Governor Evans to suppress a reported race riot, arrived at Mount Carmel, a little town in Abbeville county, at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The soldiers made part of the journey on a special train and then took wagons for ten miles. The town was quiet when the troops arrived. The trouble had been caused by the killing of a negro who had resisted arrest, by two white men.

Upon arriving at Mount Carmel, the sheriff, assisted by the troops, arrested the negroes who took the most prominent part in insti gating the trouble. SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.
