The County "Record", published at Kingstree, comes to us in a greatly improv ed condition. The "Record" is now a first class paper and the enterprise of its man agement deserves practical recognition from the people. Two of Charleston's lawyers have been indicted upon the charge of forgery. They are William E. Klein and Frank A. Dothage. The latter had skipped to parts unknown several months ago.

Burnett Rhett fair which closed last Saturday night in Charleston. The drawing was postponed on account of all the ticket-books not hav ing been turned in and notice will be given when it is to take place. Dr. Pope, surgeon of the State Peniten tiary, spent a few days on the Scarborough on Santee this county, and on his way home he expressed his agreeable surprise to find such fertile lands. He havi ng al ways entertained the idea that Clarendon was on the order of Chesterfield-a veri table sand bed. He says he will return when he can find the leisure. As only three more prizes are to be awarded at Brockinton's Drug Store, those holding tickets will bring them in and see if they don't get a prize. In the Stokes-Bradham correspondence, on our first page. through a slip in the types where it reads "Oh, no, my dlear doc tor, there look." It should read: "Oh, no, my dear doctor, there is no 'nigger' in this wood pile; no use to look." The omission was not discovered until after the first page was printed. Some of the newspapers seem to think that the chicken story published in these columns last week is a fairy tala, but we can assure tihem that our informer, Mr. B. Reese Gibson is a man of undoubted ve racity, and he is r.ot given to dreams, either. If he had told us that he set a hen on one dozen eggs and she came off with two dozen kittens, we would not question Wood's tested garden seed for sale only by R. B. Loryea, the druggist. Senator Earle was improving for several days after his return home last week, but an attack of indigestion a few days since has caused him much trouble, and he has been quite unwell ever since. He is very anxious to resume his duties in Washing ton, and expe-cted to leave home on Mon day, but it is not likely from his present condition that he will be able to travel so soon.-Greenville Mountaineer. International Stock Food is the best remedy for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs; 25 and 50c. packages. R. B. Loryea, the druggist. All the citizens of this town who feel an interest in the future welfare of the town, and want to see our population increased and property enhance in value, should by ag means lay aside everything else and aLt tend meeting called for next ruesday i the discussion of the Graded School matter. There is a little opposition to the scheme, but that should make those who favor Graded School more certain to interest tems.ve to mke the proj ect a success. Mr. A. C. Dauis returned home last week from Arkansas quite ill with pneumoni:'. He is at the home of his brother, Captain W. C. Davis, and h-s many friends area xious about him. Governor Ellerbe very properly com muted the sentence of Frank Meyers to life imprisonment. Solicitor Wilson, while not acting when Meyers was convicted. becau.e the property destroyed was partially his, yet he was present and heard the testi mony and sentence and feeling convinced that tbe burning of the property was in cidental and the sentence too hard. he went to work to secure the commutation and there is no doubt about it, that had it not been for Solicitor Wilson's earnest etfort Frank Meyers would have been hanged. Coal Tar for sale by R. B. Loryea, the Druggist. Last Saturday, two North Carolinians stopped over in Manning and have sold their horse and buggy to return home on account of a letter received informing one of them of illness in his family. These gentlemen were out prospecting, and look iog for homcs for the-uselves and others. One of them said to us that he will return to this county and continue his exam ia tion; that he is favorably impressed wi:h the lands and the people, that if an induce ment is offered him when he returns, he thinks it likely a German colony can be es tablished in this section. As a special inducement to our subscri bers to pay up, we make this standing offer. All names on our subscription list paid up to October 1st 1897,will be entitled to a chance at a fine sewing machine,which we propose to give away on the 4th day of .Tuly. Remember that after the 1st of May, we will cut off every name on our list that is a delinquent. We are determined to shake those who will not pay for their reading. The County Board of Commissioners have very properly imposed a license on horse drovers. The town has alway ie quired a license on transient horse dealers, and in some cases the town was defeated in getting the license by the dealers quart ering outside, but now there will be no more trouble on that score. If a transient dealer in horses and mules desires to do business in this county he must pay a license. If any of our local dealers go outside of the town to peddle their stock they too, will have to pay a county license. It is the duty of every magistrate or con stable to require a production of the li cense receipt of any persons found in the business of selling stock. Health and vigor are essential for succe.s therefore make yourself strong and healthy by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Nettles. Mrs. Elizabeth Nettles died Sunday, April 25, at her home in this town. She had been unwell for some time, but was not confined to bed, and no uneasiness was felt by the family. Last Sunday she was feel ing better than usual, but about noon, while sitting in her chair, talking with the family, the summons came, and without a struggle she fell asleep. She was buried yesterday in the Manning cemetery, by the side of her husband, who pre-deceased her about eight years, Mrs. Nettles was a Miss Lowry and was born in Chesterfield, October 7, 1819. She was married to Rev. Abraham Nettles, of the South Carolina 0>nference, in 1851. Three children survive, all of whom were at the funeral: Dr. L. W. Nettles, of For eston; Mrs. E. C. Alsbrook, of Manning, and Rev. S. A. Nettles, once editor of the MANING TnrEs, but now a member of the South Carolina Conference. During the winter of 1693, F. M. Martin, of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe cold which left him a cough. In speaking of how he cured it 12e says: "I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which re lieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure." When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief. It has been in the market for ove- twenty years and constantly grown in favor and popularity. For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by Ri. B. Lorye9, the druggist. New Zion Notes. Mr. EDrron-Please allow me a little space in the columns of Taz TIMEs to reply to "Nick" as a correction in pait to his communication of April the 14th. Will say in reply to "Nick" and in justice to myself, that the article I sent to THE TIMEs for publication was sometime before there was a grain of corn planted in Salem, only in the gardens. I suppose that is the corn that"Nick"alluded to as being large enough to work. If it is, I hope he will excuse me. Will say that I'm on the road more than "Nick" is, for one that has a wheel and is fond of riding it, will see more than one walking. The farmers are busy planting cotton and preparing to set out tobacco when it rains. Some are through putting out thir erop of tobacco. The Hook and Line Association met to day. The following officers were elected; L.~D. Barron, president; J. T. Player, sec retary. This association is gotten up to build a pavilion at Gibbons and Lavender's mill for a summer resort. The Pine Grove school made a nice dis play on Baster. The scholars all canie in order. The New Zion school has closed, and Miss E. L. Shaw is on a visit in Sumter. Mrs. R. S. Fleming is very ill. FEIEND. It will be an agreeable surprise to per sons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learn that promprtelief may be had by tak ing Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. In many instances the at tack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as the first symp toms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by R. B. Loryea, the drug gist. Summer ton Notes. The first picnic this season was given by the Summerton Baptist Sunday School last Saturday at Scott's Lake. The day was spent pleasantly by old~ and young boating and strolls to the historical old fort. Misses Briggs, of Silver, are visiting rela tives. The Baptist pulpit was filled by Dr. Weeks of Charleston last Sunday. A very popular young, lady, who has spent the past two Sundays here, returned home this week. A young man of Man ning, who took a dusty ride to pay his re spects to her was debarred on account of attending Sunday School and her unex pected early departure. He has our deepest sympathy, which may be illy bestowed, as three visits a week is indicative of more success on former occasions.
