The Birthday Fete of the Ladies
Missionary Society.
The birthday fete, which was to have
been given at the residence of Col. B. P.
Barron this evening, has been postponed
in order that the young people could take
advantage of the revival nee:ings now in
progress here, but the entertainment will
certainly come off next Wednesday even
ing, and a pleasant time is assured.
The ladies of the society will tite ad
vantage of the extended time given themr
to more fully prepare themselves for the
task of entertaining those who honor them
with their presence.
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.
The cause for which these good ladies are
laboring should commend itself to all of
us, and we should encourage them in thei1
noble efforts by lending our aid toward
making this birthday fete a grand uc.

FARMERS' INSTITUTES.
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.

SUMMER SICKNESS.
An Interesting Communication Re
garding Its Prevention
and Cure.
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.

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.
"P. 5. Br.oors.

OKLAHOMAS GOLD FEVER.
Towns Depopulated by Citizens Rlushing to
the Mlines.
PERRY. O. T., June 17.-There is
great eseitemuent over the finding of
gold in Washington county. Old min
ers say the ore is richer and better than
the nmines of California and New
Mexico. The tests have been made for
forty miles up Boggy Creek, and the
veins get richer. Towns near gold
fields are nearly depopulated by the
citizens leaving for the gold regions.
