Mrs. Louis Loyns has received her stock of
stylish and fashionable millinery. These

The town election comes off in this town
next Monday. So far, very little interest
appears to be manifested in this very im
portant matter. We have no special favor
ites, but we would like our citizens to show
a disposition of interest. Suppose on next
Monday a set of men were to be elected
who are obnoxious to the tax-payers it
would then be too late to complain. Let
every citizen be on the alert and see to it
that no person gets on the council by any
sneak game. Be ready to v'ote for men who
have the welfare of the town at heart and
every man who can should turn out and
cast his ballot.
For the information of those who desire
to know, we will state that the clerk of a
town council is not debared from holding
an elective office. The law looks upon a
clerk of a council the same as a store clerk.
and subject to tne orders of the council by
whom he is employed. He is not respon
sible to the people of the town; but solely
responsible t the council who employed
him and who can dismiss him at their will,
or at tbe termination of his contract with
them. This information we have obtained
from high legal authority. The provision
in the new constitution forbidding the
holding of two offices, does not refer to
persons employed by municipalahity. If
:tdid a county auditor c uld not be a
corporation counsel, nor could a member
of a town council be an attorney for the
county board of Supervisors, or supervisors
of registration. These boards often elect
or employ a counsel and it so happens that
the attorneys they employ are members of
the legislature or are members of the
muniinality in which they live.
- A GHASTLY FIND.
A sensation was caused in Manning
last Sunday morning by the finding
of a mutilated body of an infant on
the premises of James McD. Rich
ardson, a respectable colored man.
The body was found the day before
by Solomon James, colored, who was
cleaning up the yard, and when he'
discovered it,he informed some of the
colored neighbors, who, fearing it
would bring them into trouble, told
him to bury it and say nothing more
about it. One of these neighbors
told her husband that night and;
Sunday morning he reported the af
fair and the coroner was sent for.
Coroner Ridgeway empanelled a
jury and they examined the body
together with physicians. It was
found to be the body of a male mu-:
latto child of premature birth, and
horribly mutilated; one side of the
face, one arm and one leg were eaten
by hogs or dogs.
There was a woman in the employ
of Richardson who is suspected of be
ing the mother. She left here Sun
day morning, buying a ticket to
Sumter.

SUMMERTON SAYINGS.
Summerton, Ap.il 6.-As adver
tised, The Summerton Library Asso
ciation elected its officers last
Wednesday night. Rev. J. Crockard,
president; Mrs. R. H. Belser, vice
president; Miss Sallie Burgess, secre
tary; Dr. B. M. Badger, treasurer;
Miss Anne Burgess. librarian. The
following were elected an executive
committee: Mrs. A. J. Briggs, Mrs.
R. R. Briggs, Miss Caro Belser, Dr.
B. M. Badger, and A. P. Burgess.
The president and vice-president are
on this committee ex officio. The as
sociation now has twenty-two mem
bers on its roll. Quite a numbe:
more will be added. The association
has secured a hall over B. M. Badger
& Co.'s drug store and will fit it up
for a library.
Rev. W. F. Hollingsworth occupied
the Presbyterian pulpit yesterday.
Quite a little excitement was caused
during the sermon by the horses out
side becoming frightened at a whirl
wind and breaking loose. Mr. R. C.
Richardson's got loose and took an
excursion round the church, smash
ing the shafts on a stump.
There will be a lecture to-morrow
night in the Presbyterian church, by
Mr. Hollingsworth, whose subject
will be, "In and Around Jerusalem."
Mr. Hollingsworth has just returned
from Palestine. In his trip he visited
Scotland, England, Holland, Bel
gium, France, Switzerland, Italy, and
portions of Palestine. In conversa
tion with him, I asked him how our
country compared with the best he
saw, and he says we are away ahead,
except in the matter of public roads,
and in that way we are away behind.
I might add that a trip out into the
country about here almost develops
the fact that we are not in it at all.
Everybody is now in the midst of
planting cotton and a large acreage
will be put in. Several small patchesi
of tobacco will be planted, but cot-1
ton continues to be king in this com
munity.
Rev Mr. Watson is able to be out
and about again. He has been suf
fering with cold.
Mr. A. S. Briggs is very ill at his
home on Santee. Drs. Briggs and
Belser have pronounced it a case of
appendicitis:
Mr. F. N. Wilson, of your city, was
in town on business a short while to
day.
Mrs. Ravenel, of Aiken, is visiting
her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Burgess, at
Pine Burr Cottage in the suburbs.
Mr. Robert R. DnRant is here for a
few days as relief to Section Master
R. H. Cox, of the W. & S. railroad.
Mr. D. M. Bradham, of Manning,
was in town last Friday.
While no one in this neighborhood
had heard the report about Mr. W.
C. Davis until the intimation of his
defence in the Times, .we think he
has nailed it very successfully. *
BUCKLEN'S AR 'ICA SALVE.
The best salve in the world for cuts,
bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever
sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains,
corns and afl skin eruptions, and positively
cures piles or no pay required. It is guar

T HE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS LIFE.
Mr. G. Caillonette, Druggist, Beaversville,
llt, says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery
I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe
and tried all the physicians for mifles about,
but of no avail and was civen up and told
I could not live. Having Dr. King's New
Discovery in my store 1 sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first dose
began to get better, and after using three
bottles wa up and about again. It is
worth its weight in gold. We won't keep
store or house without it. Get a free trial
at R. B. Loryea's drug store.
CURE FOR HEADACHE.
As a cemedy for all forms of headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the very
best. It effects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield
to its influence. We urge all who are af
flicted to procure a bottle, and give this
remedy a fair trial. In cases of habitual
constipation iectric Bitters cures by giving
the needed tone to the bowels. and few
cases long resist the use of this inedicine.
Try it once. Large bottles only 50 cents at
R. B. Loryea's drug store.

RESULTS TELL THE STORY.
A vast mass of direct, unimpeachable
testimony proves beyond any possibility
of doubt that Hood's Sarsaparilla actually
does perfectly and permanently cure dis
eases caused by impure blood. Its record
of cures is unequalled and these cures
have often been accomplised after all other
preparations had failed.
Hood's Pills cure all liver ills, bilious
ness, jaundice, indigestion, sick headache.
Why suffer with conghs, colds and Ia-;

cure you in one day. Does not produce
the ringing in the bread like Sulphate of
Quinine. Pnt up in tablets convcnient for

VETERAN'S MEETING.
LIst Monday our streets and the court
house square presented a picturesque scene.
All manner and conditions of men were
there in response to the notice calling for
the men who offered themselves as sacri
fices on their country's altar. Some had
n"t seen each other since the immortal Lee
a',ealthed his sword at Appomatox, and
when these met it was "hello Billy or Tom,
:1. mp, or Rock, Yellow Nat, etc., etc.,"
' ow have you been, old fellow, and you
.r: getting old," and then each would tell
s->me war yarn on the other, which would
ring out merry laughter even from some
' ho were maimed or broken by disease or
But when an old "Vet" would tell of
rertain battle and how poor Dick was
-r ,anded, and what his last words were,
t :se men who had faced the enemy amid
overpowering odds and storms of shot
and shell, and did not shrink or quiver,
these men when they were reminded of
their comrades that had fallen and crossed
the great beyond would drive back tears
with their handkerchiefs and they would
repeat the names of the dead heros with
quivering lips.
About midday the shrill voice of Captain
D. J. Bradham called the crowd to go up
stairs and one old fellow hobbled forward
remarking: "Sump's voice sounds just like
it ;lid when he ordered us to 'fall in' in
Virginia. His head may be white and his
sleeve empty, but he is the same old Sump
to d.iv. I was within six feet of him when
be w.s shot and some of his blood spattered
on Die."
This camp bears the name of Harry Ben
bow, the brave commander of the gallant
23rd regiumnt. About 200 were present
and the meeting was called to order by
Commander C. 1. Land. Rev. James Mc
Dowell opened the meeting with prayer.
Under the new law a board of pension
commissioners were to be elected which
was the principal business of the day.
Major C. S. Land and Capt. D. J. Bradhani
were selected. Both of these gentlemen are
well known anl their names on the board
is a guarantee that the law will be faithfully
carried out and that no worthy person will
be deprived of a pension. It wai decided
to elect delegates to the reunion at Rich
mond in the May meeting. The 20th iust,
it 9, a. m. is the day when the board will
it to receive applications for pensions,with
Chem wtil be the county treasurer and the
iounty auditor, both of whom have "smelt
the patchin", also Dr. C. B. Geiger as the
physician.
Captain D. J. Bradham made a very
eeling and eloquent speech to the Camp
an the pension matter, showing in every
sentence that his heart was in the work,
bat it was a labor of love. Several letters
from other Camps were read and the meet
ng was really a pleasant reunion. They
neet again in May.
SPRING TIME
[s when nearly everyone feels the need of
iome blood purifying, strength invigorat
ng and health producing medicine. The
-eal merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla is the rea
son of its widespread popularity. Its un
?qalled success is its best recomnienda
ion. The whole system is succeptible to
be most good from a medicine like Hood's
arsaparilla taken at this time, and we
vould lay special stress upon the time and
remedy, for history has it recorded that
elays are dangerous. The remarkable
success achieved by Hood's Sarsaparilla and
e many woids of praise it has received,
nake it worthy of your confidence. We
tsk you to give this medicine a fair trial.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
Curious Invocations bj Famous Historeml
Forsonages.
One of the earliest records in history
f a prayer before battle is that of Chil
deric, king of Gaul, a pagan, who before
going into battle at Zuelpich, some 400
years after Christ, prayed to the God of
the Christians to help him to victory.
Hi foe was Attila, king of the Huns,
and Childerio vowed if God would give
him the victory he would embrace the
hristian faith.
The prayer of a Hungarian officer be
fore one of the battles fought for the in.
dependence of Hungary in 1849 was as
follows: "I will not ask thee, Lord, to
help us, end I know thou wilt not help
the &ustrians, but if thou wilt sit on
yonder hill thou shalt not be ashamed
of thy children." This was the prayer
of the "Fighting Bishop" Leslie before
oe of the battles fought in Ireland: "0
God, for cur unworthiness we are not fit
to claim thy help, but if we are bad
our enemies are worse, and if thou seest
not meet to help us we pray thee help
them not, but stand thou neuter on this
day and leave it to the arm of the flesh."
The one offered before the battle of
Edgehill by Sir Jacob .Astley was:
"Thou knowest, 0 Lord, that I shall be
very busy this day, and if I forget thee
forget thou not me," and then the com
mand followed, "March on, boys I" As
King Edward advanced with his col
umns to Bannockburn he remarked to
his aids, seeing the Scotch on their
knees: "See, they kneel. The rebels are
asking pardon." D'UJmphraville was
heard to remark: "Yes, but It is to the
King of kin~gs.~ These men conquer or
die on this field."
Oliver Cromwell had publia prayers
before going to battle on several occa
uions-as, for instance, previous to the
battle of Dunbar. It is a curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers, or at least one prayer, to be said
before going into action at sea, while
nothing is provided for use before en
gagements on land.-New York Herald.
KILLINGS BY WHOLESALE.
our Thousand Murders a Year In Italy.
Most Violent of Civilized Countries.
A homicide occurs every two hours in
Italy. This was one of the many star
tling statements made by Baron Garo
fao, a distinguished Italian criminol
ogist, in a lecture delivered on "Crim
inality in Relation to the Edncation of
the People" in the Roman college. His
audience included Queen Margherita.
In Italy the annual loss of life by
homicide (usually by lethal weapons)
numbers about 4,000 souls. Compared
with France, for instance, she has 10
homicides a year for France's 1, and
85 for Denmark's 1. The Latin popu
lations, indeed, in both hemispheres
have a bad pre-eminence over the Teu
tonic in crime generally, and of these
Latin populations the Italian is the
worst.
Baron Garofalo proceeded to give the
reasons why. In the first place, vendetta,
which in Greece was heroism and in
nedival Europe a laudable custom,
has lingered longer in Italy than in any
other country; dueling, also, is more
frequent in Italy than elsewhere. To the
religious instruction given in Great
Britain and the United States of Amer
icmb nattributed. +ha 'fact that these
countries have in 40 years diminished
by one-half the annual proportion of
their delinquents and mendicants, while
in Italy the want of similar irstruction
has rebulted in the positive increase of
delinquency and mendicancy since 1862.
When to these considerations we add the
increased hardness of living in the young
kingdom, the strain put upon the moral
resisting power by a crushing poverty,
the squalid dwellings, the defective ali
mentation, by which the brain is starved,
when it is not actually poisoned, by the
stimulants in which relief from misery
is sought, and the depreciation of life as
it exists under such conditions, we ar
rive at an enscmblo of causes which
quite accounts for theso sad statistics.
The synapta, a water inscot, is pro
vided with :.n anchor, the exact shape of
the anchor used by ships. By means of
this peculiar device the insect holds it
self firmly in any desired spot.
