Next Monday is the day. Elsewhere will be seen a numer ously signed paper asking for a meeting of those interested in the Manning cemetery. We hope this call will be heeded and we would urge upon, not only those whose names are attached to the call, but everybody to interest themselves in this matter. Friends, we would not wish to ap pear a chronic growler, but we must say that the neglected condition of the Manning cemetery is a sad corn mentary on the charity of the people of this place. Aside from charity, are our people not aware that they owe a duty to the dead? The living can take care of themselves, and show to each other those marks of respect which are pleasing to mankind, but not so with the dead. The tokens of respect, lovre and affection to the dead must come from the living and it. is a re ligous duty that it be done. Let everybody interested in the cemetery assist in making the "city of our dead" a monument of love. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEET ING.

Bradhanm called the meeting to order with A. J. Richbourg as temporary secretary, which was made permanent. Chairman D. J. Bradham in a brief and business-like-manner pre sented the duties to be brought be fore the committee. He also stated that owing to the illness of Mr. James E. Davis, the report of the last committe would be made at the next nmeeting of the executive committee. 'The county executive committee adopted unanimously the constitution nf the Democratic party as passed j by the last State Democratic convention of the State. The rules of State Democratic executive committee governing the primary was read and on motion of Dr. L M. Woods was unanimously adopted as a whole. It was moved and adopted that the members of the executive committee be seated on the stand with the State candidates during their visit to Man ning on the 22 inst., campaign-day, and it was also adopted requesting Mr. Louis Appelt to furnish each com mitteeman with a suitable badge to be worn by the committee on this special occasion. A special committee of reception was elected, consisting of the three members of the executive committee from Manning with the chairman of the executive committee to receive each candidate on his arrival and procure accommodations for them, and to welcome within the gates of Manning, in keeping with the dig nity and hospitality of our town on the occasion honored with the first meeting of the State campaign. Suggestion was unanimously recom mended that each chairman insist on each member the necessity of obtain ing their registration tickets. Mr. E. D. Hodge in a feeling man ner anticipated and desired the unity of the white people of Clarendon in a solid Democratic party, and each committeeman appreciated highly this grand and noble sentiment. Motion by Mr. Louis Appelt was adopted that the various Democratic clubs of this county be called to gether on the 25th day of July, 1896, for the purpose of recommending to this committee managers of election to conduct the primary and for any other business that may come be fore-it. On motion of Dr. I. M. Woods, the meeting adjourned to meet again on the first Monday in August, 1896. A. J. RIICHBOURG, Sec. Dem. Ex. Coi., Clarendon, Co. UNITED CONFEDERATE VET ERANS.

Children's Day exercises were held in the Methodist church Sunday night. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, and the children did extremely well. We look upon the occasion as a grand success. The superintendant, Mr. W. A. Broadwvay, with the assistance of Miss Jessie urtis and Mr. S. R. Cole, certainly deserve great credit for the way these little Sunday-school scholars1 Lave been trained. Mrs. Henrietta Plowden, wife of >ur esteemed citizen, J. A. Plowden, hed at her home very suddenly Eriday, of heart failure. Rev. C. M. Billings conducted the funeral service ~be next day at eleven o'clock in the Baptist church. She wvas theu laid o0 rest in the Packsville cemetery. Mrs. M1. P. Bateman died at her some near Packsville, Saturday ~vening, after several weeks' ilness. She was buried at 4 o'clock Sunday ~vening at the Broadway burying 'round. Rev. C. M1. Biliings con ucted the funeral services. A little colored boy living on Mr. Monday afternoon while in bathing at Reynold's mill. An infant child of Mr. T. B. Mims died Monday morning after a short illness. The funeral services were conducted at calvary church. RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS. BY REV. J. O. GOUGII, MIANNINE, S. C. WE BELIEVE The 'Journal and Messenger" has a few words of great importance to say about those who are "Ignorant of the bible." "Boys and girls, young men and j young women of to-day are amazing ly ignorant of the bible. And vetI we are in an age of such Sunday school work as was never known be fore. We have given more attention to Sunday-school work during the past twenty-five years than during the preceding fifty years. We have conventions, institutes, sociee ies, rings, schemes, and plans, all claim ing to teach the bible to the young. And yet with it all they tell us that the young are growinz up without a knowledge of the bible. Look a! the "helps" turned out weekl and monthly, pictures, diagrams, papers, quarterlies, books, illustrious ser mons, all claiming to teach the young. And yet with all these new schemes and organizations and sys tems, unknown to our fathers, there is a falling off, or an immense cloud of ignorance hanging over our young. If these new plans and schemes do not succeed in teaching the young, then let us return to the old way, the bible and church." No plan or scheme has ever yet put a thrust into the bosom of any young man for the study of God's word; and %-here any one reads the bible because his society enjoins it upon him and not because his own heart longs for the "Bread of Life," he fails to receive the blessings. God blesses those who lead from a pure motive to know more of God and his will to men. The "Ram's Horu" says that "one of the most ominous signus of the times is the great lack of scriptural knowledge in our laud. There is a greater lack of biblical knowledge in our land than in any other Chris'ian country. In the land of Luther the Bible is known far better than here. In England the common people know the Holy Book, while in Scotland the peasant is as familiar with the Bible as the preacher. But here in Amer ica the masses are fatally unacquaint ed with the sacred scriptures, and the evil is growing worse every day." Sunday-school singing is a very important item. Good singing is one of the essentials in a successful school. Where the singing never drags is where the soul is stirred by the music. Every school should pajy the utmost attention to the mnusic of the school. Bring in the instruments and breathe the breath of life into your school. The largest Sunday-school in the United States is the Bethany school! in Philadelphia, with John Wana maker as superintendent. The at tendance on a recent Sunday was three thousand eight hundred. Wan anaker himself has a class of about one thousand twvo hundired, and yet he keeps in the closest touch of each one. Over each ten he has a tithemian appointed to look after them,and over every ten tithemen is one to whow the tithemen shall report; these hand in their reports to differ ent superintendauts who bring ever-y |thing before the eyes of Wanamaker. By this plan he learns about all sick ness, death, affliction and poverty, and to all he sends immediately his aid and sympathy. When the Sunday school teacher becomes so chai-ged with the tr-uth and spirit of the lesson, there will be few indifferent pupils, and when the Bible is given the right-of-way in our schools and colleges there will be less cranks in doctrine. Give the Bible a fair chance in any community and "the wilderness will blossom as the rose." When the word of God gets into the pulpit and into the preacher the congregation wvill sing the song of victory. The Southern Baptist Convention passed1 resolutions recommendingr Baptist churches to exclude from their membership all who wer-e whis key dealers. That is, all who sold it and all who drank it and all who manufactured it and wvho allowed whiskey sold in a building owvned by a meumber- of the church. These res olutions are str-ong and if carried out by the chur-ches wvould play havoe with the churches and denomiina tion. Yet we see the gr-eat need of churches raising a higher staudard of Christian living. We hope to see a large congr-ega tion at the Baptist church next Sun lay. A ver-y imnporntant meeting will be held. The Baptist preacher will preach a sermon about "the crucifixion" nexti Sunday morning. God loves a cheerful giver,one who gives Him the praise due His great name, andl the means to car-ry on his work in the world, and one who gives is heat to God as a living sacrifice.

'There are ., hot fsilyer faaaties in this country who are treing to de stroy contidence aid compel the gov ernment to coin lifty ceot dollars for the beneit of silver miners. That is what is the mat fer. That is why the bank has orders to forelose your mortgage if you don't pay the inter est. I am told on good authority that you went to a silver meeting last month and voted for a resolution in favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. If that is true, you ought to be sold out. \Whv, you ought to be sold out and sent to prison should you attempt to defraud innocent and honest cred itors who loan imiOney on fariis for the sole benefit of the farmer. Farmer. That is pretty hard. I was told by a man we all think a great deal of, Judge Jones, that the United States anl all the world made ioney wit ('f bo:b gold and silverI until 1873, and when th1ey made money out of both the metals nionev was pleutier than it is now. I know it was plentier, because I bought my farm on cedit, and went in deft for the whole of it, and pail for it in eight years from what I raised on the farm. \ly wife and myself hal to work pretty hard, but ive paid every thing up and were out of debt twen ty years algi. The money tiuat I had to borrow was to pay taxes and to senld my children to schoo!. I tho1-ht when I b,: rowed the ienoti good t;imeCs wo iuiild coIrC auani, and I could pay Ofi the debt just as I paid fr n farm, but 1 find that money is gettiug scarcer all the time, and it is impossible now for me to sell any thing off my farm and pa'. this inter est, mauch less to pay the prlincipal. Banker.- Trhat is all your own fault. Complaining about the just laws of Congress and the policy of a just gove'frnent. It desirovs confi dence and makes times hard. Makes the honest creditors want their tmeyey. Famer. But thrtIl me money-~ is growing dearer than it was. Danker. That is nonsense. The value of money depends Upou1 what it is wale of, not the quantity. Take for ex:unle a greenbcack. It is mnade out of a piartienhtri kind of paper. If you should mnake the silitest varia tiou of the paper the greenback wouldn't be worth .j cent. It is the pape~fr thait maikes' thei greet back good. Farmer. W\here does the govern ment get the paper? Banker. Tihe government buys it of a particular firm, which makes it in a particular kind of waly, in a par 1 ienlarly shaped room. The slightest variation in thle shapa of the room will dest roy the unn ey. 'I he trouble witn vou is vou ihaveu't stihed and dlon't understaind the benevolent dei signs iof the government in making a paper of that particular kind. F"armer. Does the government have to pay an ex:ra price for the paper ? Danker. Oh, yes, the pairties w.ho make this paper have grownv enor mously rieb, becinse the outside world don't kniov th secret of mak ing the samo .1ied of paperi.

The doilar epends entirely upon the color, and the color it is a 100-cent dollar. If is wvhite it is a50-cen; dollar. These mc londamaenta p.;r;nie ,,pon I shiclh our hankers do business. arm:e. I cannot contend with coni baniers. because you will take my i~trmi away from me if I do and I woul d rather die than to lose my farm. My wife and myself have workdc too hard and too long on the farm o give it up now. Sit'er. Yes, but you are trying to Sindile the banks by asking for .a la-. tLha will enable you to pay in ja 1 ch monev as such old fools as J A erson and Jackson used to make iriaic they discovered that it the o; ey: was white it would ruin man Li d. F armer. I am a Democrat and I tuought Jefferson and Jackson were good men and great patriots. Banker. It is all a mistake. They were both silver fauatics and if they were alive now they would make us a great deal of trouble. Farmer. What am I to do, then? Must you foreclose if I can't sell any thing to pay the interest? Banker. Yes; unless you can give inure security. Farmer. I have no other security to give. Do you want to take any iiing On my farm? Banker. No; that is perihable property and no security for anything. Youur wife's father died abcut six ionths ago, didn't he? Farmer. Yes. Banker. He left your wife a town lot, didn't he, in our village? Farmer. Yes; but that is all my poor wife has got. Banker. How much is it worth? Farmer. Well, it would have sold for $1,000 two years ago. They say that we might get $250 for it now if we could find a buyer. Banker. Two hundred and fifty dollars? Farmer. Yes. Balker. Well, the interest on your mortgage to the first of the month is $50 and it will be $50 more on the first of January next. That will make $100. If you and your wife will give a mo tgage on her lot as security for tihe$100,1 will do you a great favor. I will take a mortgage on the lot for $125 with 10 per cent interest and credit you on the mortgage for $100 interest. That will make you easy, and by that time the elections will be over, a sound money man will be elected President, confidence will be restored, and you will be able to pay up both mortgages. Farmer. My wife's father told her never to sell or encumber that lot. It has got a little house on it, and he told her if we lost our farm we would have a place to go. I hate very much to make the proposition to the old vomaul. It seems hard. Unker. But you know you voted for that damnable resolution to re store the imfamous laws of those old rascals, Jefferson and Jackson and other silver cranks, and youi and your wifc will have to suffer for it some. I wiii do the best I can for you. I am your friend. But I must add one condition if I accommodate you this time. You mustn't go to any more silver meetings or associate with sil ver cranks, because if I ever hear of your associating wiW those wicked people and don't have the money at the very day, tha bank will have to foreclose. Farmer. Your conditions are very hard. Bauker. Yes, but they are just, they are honorable, they are sound. Justice is justice. That is all I ask, besides I want you to understand I am doing you a great, favor in making this of'er and you must let me know by to-iuorrow nmoon what you will do about it. because the attorneys of the bank have their regular meeting with us on to-morrow afternoon to take charge of such foreclosures as we find it necessary to make. Farmer. Just one word more. Banker. Nothing nmore. I have nothing further to say. Good-day. DOTS FROM FOJRESTON.

Suntiuerton, June 16.-Well, I guess your base ballists have ac countel to you fully by this time the manv reasons and circumstances which combined to give them a thrasing ou last Friday. That's natura!; I have been whipped at it, too. But really it wat hard on our sister town to get such a drubbing. Both teams were a little out of trim and Summerton had to pick up two men, one from the 3rd nine who had not yet cooled off from the previous game. The only unpleasant feature of the game was this: Manning objected to Suninmerton taking on a man to fill a vacancy, simply because at a game played some two years ago, this man, who was then playing regularly with Summerton, had a dispute with a Manning player. The man in qoes tion was out of practice and had a sore thumb to boot. Summerton had as much :ight to object to the Mau niug p!aver as vice versa. But that is nut our boys' plan. We play who ever comntes, and beat them, too. The score was a disgrace to both nines and it will not be named here, but will simply say that our boys came out six ahead. At one time the Summerton nine got badly rattled and were whipped, but they recov ered and gave the rattles to the other side. H. M. McCollum and W. S. Rich bourg c. mne to Summerton's rescue at the critical moment. As each went to the bat the bases were full. They cleaned them up and scored themselves. If Manning would take a rib from Galloway and Pat and put in the other players the nine would play better. The last play made was a hot one and fitting conclusion, Joe Cantey catching a hot liner at short from McLeod's bat. A running catch by Galloway in in centre field was the prettiest play wade. "Coot" Thames on first was a ver itable snap-turtle. "I K" Appelt and his sweater ! but that is not what the Summerton rooters called it. Pat McLeod and his bloomers! Who would have thought that Pat would become so hen-pecked as to have a compromise on bloomers! Among the visitors from Manning we noticed hisses Sallie Stukes, Mellie and Lizzie Nelson, Measrs. Conyers Horton, Horton Rigby, Ed gar Dickson and Walter Harvia. The crops are all growing nicely now and everybody is laying by corn. The cool nights are putting honey and lice on the catton. Everybody is reporting blooms on their cotton. Mrs. Isaac Ingram, of Smtnter, re turned home on .Saturday after a visit to her sister, Mrs. B. M. Badger. Miss Lula Badger will leave for a visit to relatives in Sumter and Barn well to-morrow. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Keller, of Or angeburg, spent last week ~at Dr. Burgess's.

He created a fine im pression on the people and we wish him a long and pleasant stay among us. Miss Bertha Hays, of Dillon, is on a visit to her sister, Mrs. J. D. Ellen.
